Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an anti-bite device for oral care of critically ill patients. Background Technology

[0002] Critically ill patients are those with severe illness or symptoms. When a patient is diagnosed with critical illness, it usually means that the condition is very serious and requires close monitoring and professional medical care. In hospitals, critically ill patients are usually transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU), which is a special ward equipped with advanced monitoring equipment and treatment facilities, such as bedside monitors, multi-functional ventilators, and micro-injectors, to ensure that patients receive relatively good care and treatment.

[0003] However, in the current technology, critically ill patients are often in a coma after surgery or during treatment. In a coma, the patient's muscles are relaxed and weak. The muscles at the patient's jaw joint are also relaxed, causing the patient's mouth to close, the upper and lower teeth to touch, and the tongue to relax. This can cause the closed teeth to bite the tongue and the cheek muscles of the teeth when they open and close unconsciously. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-bite device for oral care of critically ill patients, which has the advantages of supporting the patient's teeth and separating the upper and lower teeth to prevent the teeth from closing and biting the patient, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an anti-bite device for oral care of critically ill patients, comprising a tooth support assembly, a tongue support assembly, and an adjustment assembly. The tooth support assembly is used to support and block the patient's upper teeth. The tongue support assembly is disposed below the tooth support assembly to cover and press the patient's tongue and block the lower teeth. The adjustment assembly is disposed on the tooth support assembly to adjust the spacing.

[0006] Furthermore, the tooth support assembly includes two mounting sleeves, two arc-shaped plates, an L-shaped plate, two mounting plates, a rotating rod, two torsion springs, and a flip plate. The two arc-shaped plates are respectively fixedly mounted on the two mounting sleeves, the L-shaped plate is fixedly mounted between the two arc-shaped plates, and the two mounting plates are both fixedly mounted on one outer wall of the L-shaped plate. The rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the two mounting plates, and the two torsion springs are respectively fixedly mounted on the outer walls of the two mounting plates that are close to each other. The flip plate is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod, and the short sections of the two torsion springs that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the flip plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a silicone pad one is fixedly installed on one inner wall of the L-shaped plate, and a silicone pad two is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the flip plate.

[0008] Furthermore, rubber blocks are fixedly installed on both of the mounting sleeves.

[0009] Furthermore, the tongue support assembly includes a connecting plate, a tongue plate, and a pad. The connecting plate is disposed below the L-shaped plate, the tongue plate is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the connecting plate, and the pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tongue plate.

[0010] Furthermore, anti-slip strips are evenly distributed on the bottom of the tongue plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes two rectangular plates, a screw, an adjustment knob, and a round rod. The two rectangular plates are respectively fixedly mounted on two arc-shaped plates. The screw is rotatably mounted on the corresponding rectangular plate. The adjustment knob is fixedly sleeved on the screw. The screw is threadedly connected to the connecting plate. The round rod is fixedly mounted on the corresponding rectangular plate and is slidably connected to the connecting plate.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features a tooth-supporting assembly. The L-shaped plate and tongue plate are held together and placed in the patient's mouth. A flipping plate is then activated, causing it to rotate outwards from the patient's mouth. This flipping plate drives a rotating rod to rotate on two mounting plates, which in turn causes a torsion spring to twist. The torsion spring deforms and accumulates elastic force, placing the L-shaped plate behind and tightly against the upper teeth. Releasing the flipping plate causes the torsion spring to lose its torsional force, causing the flipping plate to reset and cooperate with the L-shaped plate to clamp the patient's upper teeth. The mounting sleeve and arc-shaped plate cushion the patient's molars and create a barrier between the upper and lower teeth. This design provides the advantages of supporting the patient's teeth and separating the upper and lower teeth, preventing the teeth from closing and biting the patient.

[0014] This invention features a tongue support assembly. By adjusting the knob, the adjustment knob rotates on a rectangular plate and moves the connecting plate. The connecting plate slides on a round rod and moves away from the L-shaped plate, thus widening the gap between the tongue plate and the L-shaped plate to accommodate the jaw joint opening degree of different patients. It has the advantages of adjusting the spacing to open the teeth and adapting to different patients. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5 As shown, an anti-bite device for oral care of critically ill patients includes a tooth support assembly 1, a tongue support assembly 2, and an adjustment assembly 3. The tooth support assembly 1 is used to support and block the patient's upper teeth. The tongue support assembly 2 is located below the tooth support assembly 1 to cover and press the patient's tongue and block the lower teeth. The adjustment assembly 3 is located on the tooth support assembly 1 to adjust the spacing.

[0023] Additionally, the tooth support assembly 1 includes two mounting sleeves 101, two arc-shaped plates 102, an L-shaped plate 103, two mounting plates 104, a rotating rod 105, two torsion springs 106, and a flipping plate 107. The two arc-shaped plates 102 are respectively fixedly mounted on the two mounting sleeves 101. The L-shaped plate 103 is fixedly mounted between the two arc-shaped plates 102. Both mounting plates 104 are fixedly mounted on one outer wall of the L-shaped plate 103. The rotating rod 105 is rotatably mounted on the two mounting plates 104. The two torsion springs 106 are respectively fixedly mounted on the adjacent outer walls of the two mounting plates 104. The flipping plate 107 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 105. The adjacent short sections of the two torsion springs 106 are fixedly connected to the flipping plate 107. More specifically, the L-shaped plate 103 and the tongue support assembly 2 are pinched and placed in the patient's mouth. The flip plate 107 is turned, causing it to flip outward from the patient's mouth. The flip plate 107 drives the rotating rod 105 to rotate on the two mounting plates 104. The flip plate 107 drives the torsion spring 106 to twist. The torsion spring 106 deforms and accumulates elastic force under the torsion, placing the L-shaped plate 103 behind the upper teeth and pressing it tightly. At this time, the flip plate 107 is released, and the torsion spring 106 loses its torsional force, causing the flip plate 107 to return to its original position and cooperate with the L-shaped plate 103 to clamp the patient's upper teeth. The mounting sleeve 101 and the arc-shaped plate 102 support the patient's molars and act as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth. This has the advantages of supporting the patient's teeth and separating the upper and lower teeth to prevent the teeth from closing and biting the patient.

[0024] In addition, a silicone pad is fixedly installed on one inner wall of the L-shaped plate 103, and a silicone pad is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the flip plate 107.

[0025] In addition, rubber blocks are fixedly installed on both of the mounting sleeves 101.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the tongue support assembly 2 includes a connecting plate 201, a tongue plate 202, and a pad 203. The connecting plate 201 is disposed below the L-shaped bracket 103. The tongue plate 202 is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the connecting plate 201. The pad 203 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tongue plate 202. More specifically, after the tongue plate 202 enters the patient's oral cavity, it adheres to and presses against the patient's tongue to prevent the tongue from moving around and being bitten by the teeth. The patient's lower teeth adhere to the pad 203, and the pad is separated from the upper teeth, which has the advantage of pressing down on the patient's tongue and preventing it from moving around and being bitten.

[0027] In some embodiments, anti-slip strips are evenly distributed on the bottom of the tongue plate 202.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the adjustment assembly 3 includes two rectangular plates 301, a screw 302, an adjustment knob 303, and a round rod 304. The two rectangular plates 301 are respectively fixedly mounted on two arc-shaped plates 201. The screw 302 is rotatably mounted on the corresponding rectangular plate 301. The adjustment knob 303 is fixedly sleeved on the screw 302. The screw 302 is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 201. The round rod 304 is fixedly mounted on the corresponding rectangular plate 301. The round rod 304 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 201. More specifically, when the adjustment knob 303 is turned, the adjustment knob 303 rotates on the rectangular plate 301 and drives the connecting plate 201 to move. The connecting plate 201 slides on the round rod 304 and moves away from the L-shaped plate 103, thereby widening the gap between the tongue plate 202 and the L-shaped plate 103 to adapt to the temporomandibular joint opening degree of different patients. It has the advantages of adjusting the gap to open the teeth and adapting to different patients.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] Step 1: Place the support pad, pinch the L-shaped plate 103 and tongue plate 202 and place them in the patient's mouth. Move the flip plate 107, which flips outward from the patient's mouth. The flip plate 107 drives the rotating rod 105 to rotate on the two mounting plates 104. The flip plate 107 drives the torsion spring 106 to twist. The torsion spring 106 deforms and accumulates elastic force under the torsion. Place the L-shaped plate 103 behind the upper teeth and press it tightly. At this time, release the flip plate 107. The torsion spring 106 loses its torsion force and drives the flip plate 107 to return to its original position. It then cooperates with the L-shaped plate 103 to clamp the patient's upper teeth. The mounting sleeve 101 and the arc plate 102 support the patient's molars and block the lower teeth. After the tongue plate 202 enters the patient's mouth, it presses against the patient's tongue to prevent the tongue from moving around and being bitten by the teeth. The patient's lower teeth are pressed against the pad 203 and the support pad blocks the upper teeth.

[0031] Step 2: Adjust the gap. Move the adjustment knob 303. The adjustment knob 303 rotates on the rectangular plate 301 and drives the connecting plate 201 to move. The connecting plate 201 slides on the round rod 304 and moves away from the L-shaped plate 103, so that the gap between the tongue plate 202 and the L-shaped plate 103 is widened to adapt to the jaw joint opening degree of different patients.
