Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tongue depressor technology, and in particular relates to a tongue depressor for children. Background Technology

[0002] The tongue depressors commonly used in hospitals are straight. During use, medical staff not only need to control the depth the tongue depressor penetrates into the child's mouth, but also need to maintain its stability. Because children are active, even slight discomfort can cause them to struggle. Therefore, medical staff need to be extremely careful when examining a child's mouth. The stability of the straight tongue depressor depends entirely on the medical staff, making its operation quite difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tongue depressor for children, which can reduce the difficulty of operation for medical staff to a certain extent.

[0004] The child tongue depressor includes a handle, a pressure plate connected to the right side of the handle, and a stabilizing component between the handle and the pressure plate for placing the pressure plate on the lower teeth of the human mouth and keeping the pressure plate stable.

[0005] Furthermore, the stabilizing component includes a dental tray that can be inserted into the lower teeth of the human oral cavity. The dental tray has an arched structure, with a handle fixed on the left side of the dental tray and a pressure plate fixed on the right side of the dental tray.

[0006] Furthermore, there are several dental trays, all of which are evenly spaced from left to right. The handle is fixed to the leftmost dental tray, and the pressure plate is fixed to the rightmost pressure plate.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the dental trays is equipped with a dental pad to protect the teeth, and the dental pad is made of silicone material.

[0008] Furthermore, the handle is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0009] Furthermore, the stabilizing component includes a mouthpiece, the bottom of which has a slot for the lower teeth of the human mouth to fit into, a handle fixed to the left side of the mouthpiece, and a pressure plate fixed to the right side of the mouthpiece.

[0010] Furthermore, there are several brackets, all of which are distributed at equal intervals from left to right on the bottom of the dental tray.

[0011] Furthermore, the groove depth of the bracket is 0.5cm to 0.7cm.

[0012] Furthermore, the spacing between two adjacent brackets is 0.2cm to 0.5cm.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention features an arched dental tray between the handle and the depressor plate, which provides a certain constraint between the tray and the child's lower teeth. This maintains the overall stability of the tongue depressor plate while ensuring the appropriate depth of insertion into the child's mouth, thereby reducing the operational difficulty for medical staff.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] This embodiment describes a tongue depressor for children, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a handle 1, with a pressure plate 4 connected to the right side of the handle 1. A stabilizing component is provided between the handle 1 and the pressure plate 4 for placing the device on the lower teeth of the mouth and maintaining the stability of the pressure plate 4. The handle 1, the dental tray 2, and the pressure plate 4 are made of wood, which is low in manufacturing cost and can be used as a disposable item.

[0022] The handle 1, the tooth holder 2, and the pressure plate 4 are all integrally molded, which makes the structure stronger and more stable.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the stabilizing component includes a dental tray 2 for lower tooth insertion in the human oral cavity. The dental tray 2 has an arched structure, with a handle 1 fixed to the left side and a pressure plate 4 fixed to the right side. The inner arc of the arched dental tray 2 forms a bracket for tooth insertion in children.

[0024] When in use, the dental tray 2 is placed on the lower teeth inside the child's mouth, and the lower teeth enter the bracket. The lower teeth and the dental tray 2 form a mutually restraining fulcrum, which keeps the pressure plate 4 stable.

[0025] There are three dental trays 2, which are evenly spaced from left to right. The handle 1 is fixed to the leftmost dental tray 2, and the pressure plate 4 is fixed to the rightmost pressure plate 4. When in use, the child's lower teeth interact with the different dental trays 2, and the pressure plate 4 enters the child's mouth to different depths, thus adapting to children with different oral cavity depths.

[0026] Each dental tray 2 is equipped with a dental pad 3 to protect the teeth. The dental pad 3 is made of silicone material. The dental pad 3 is located in the bracket of the dental tray 2. When the child's teeth are placed in the bracket, the softness of the dental pad 3 protects the child's teeth.

[0027] The handle 1 has anti-slip texture. When in use, the handle 1 is lifted upwards with the dental tray 2 and the child's teeth as the fulcrum, and the pressure plate 4 presses down on the child's tongue. Therefore, the handle 1 has anti-slip texture to make it easier for medical staff to hold it more stably.

[0028] In actual use:

[0029] The medical staff holds handle 1, and the depressor plate 4 is inserted into the child's mouth to depress the tongue. The dental tray 2 is placed on the lower teeth of the child's mouth, and the lower teeth are embedded in the bracket of the dental tray 2. The bracket and the child's lower teeth form a mutually restraining support point, which helps the tongue depressor to remain stable during use. At the same time, it can also restrain the depth of the depressor plate 4 into the child's mouth to prevent the depressor plate 4 from piercing the child's throat due to sudden movements of the child, which would cause injury to the child. In both of these aspects, the operation difficulty for medical staff is reduced.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 3 As shown, the stabilizing component includes a mouth tray 2, the bottom of which has a slot for the lower teeth of the human mouth to be inserted, a handle 1 fixed to the left side of the mouth tray 2, and a pressure plate 4 fixed to the right side of the mouth tray 2.

[0032] When in use, the dental tray 2 is placed on the lower teeth inside the child's mouth, and the lower teeth enter the bracket. The lower teeth and the dental tray 2 form a mutually restraining fulcrum, which can not only keep the pressure plate 4 stable, but also restrain the depth of the pressure plate 4 into the child's mouth, thus ensuring the child's safety to a certain extent.

[0033] There are three brackets, which are evenly spaced from left to right on the bottom of the dental tray 2. When in use, the child's lower teeth are inserted into different brackets, which means that the pressure plate 4 enters the child's mouth to different depths, so as to suit children with different oral cavity depths.

[0034] This embodiment is described in conjunction with Embodiment 1. The depth of the bracket groove is 0.5cm to 0.7cm. According to statistics, the visible height of children's teeth is generally between 0.8cm and 1.2cm. Therefore, during production, the depth of the bracket groove is generally 0.5cm to 0.7cm. If the groove depth is too small, it is difficult to achieve the mutual restraint between the bracket and the child's teeth. If the groove depth is too deep, the bottom of the bracket 2 is prone to collide with the child's gums, causing discomfort to the child. Therefore, the groove depth of the bracket is set at any value between 0.5cm, 0.6cm, 0.7cm, or 0.5cm to 0.7cm.

[0035] The spacing between two adjacent brackets is 0.2cm to 0.5cm. During use, each movement of a bracket interacts with the child's teeth, representing the distance the pressure plate 4 moves in or out by one bracket length. This distance should not be too small, as a small movement of the pressure plate 4 will not effectively achieve its purpose of moving in or out. At the same time, this distance should not be too large, as the depth of a child's oral cavity does not vary significantly. Therefore, the spacing between two adjacent brackets can be set at any value between 0.2cm, 0.4cm, 0.5cm, and 0.2cm to 0.5cm.
