TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to oral cavity nursing technical field, concretely relates to a kind of oral cavity of dysphagia patient is washed and is sucked nursing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Dysphagia, as a common clinical symptom, is particularly common in the elderly, patients with nervous system diseases (such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, etc.) and patients after head and neck surgery. This type of disorder not only affects the patient's nutritional intake and quality of life, but also can cause aspiration, lung infection and other serious complications. Therefore, oral care for dysphagia patients is particularly important.

[0003] Common oral cleaning methods in clinical practice, such as using cotton swabs, toothbrushes, dental floss for cleaning, manual sputum suction and cotton swab wiping, and using oral irrigators to rinse the mouth, can remove food debris and bacteria in the mouth to some extent, but for dysphagia patients, these methods have many inconveniences. For example, the use of cotton swabs, toothbrushes and dental floss may exacerbate the patient's difficulty in swallowing, and the oral irrigator cannot ensure that the water flow can be fully and deeply cleaned to all corners of the mouth, especially the lateral wall of the mouth, the interdental space and the difficult-to-reach areas. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model aims to provide a dysphagia patient oral cavity washing and sucking nursing device to solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model employs the technical scheme: a dysphagia patient oral cavity washing and sucking nursing device, comprising a hand-held portion for easy hand holding, a cleaning portion connected to the free end of the hand-held portion and used for cleaning the residual food debris in the oral cavity, the cleaning portion comprising a brush head with side bristles installed on its lateral wall for assisting in cleaning the lateral wall of the oral cavity and difficult-to-reach areas; a flushing pipe is arranged inside the brush head for spraying water flow into the oral cavity to clean the food debris on the surface of the teeth and in the interdental space; main bristles are arranged at the end of the flushing pipe away from the hand-held portion and work cooperatively with the flushing pipe to enhance the cleaning effect; a negative pressure suction pipe is located below the flushing pipe and generates negative pressure to absorb and remove the food debris and excess water in the oral cavity, ensuring oral cavity cleaning without causing difficulty in swallowing for the patient.

[0006] The device integrates cleaning, flushing and negative pressure suction functions, and is particularly suitable for oral care of patients with swallowing disorders.

[0007] In order to make the water flow more evenly sprayed to each corner of the oral cavity:

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the flushing pipe between the brush head and the main bristles is designed in a non-linear manner.

[0009] The improved flushing pipe is designed in a non-linear manner, which can more flexibly adapt to the complex structure in the oral cavity, so that the water flow can be more evenly sprayed to each corner of the oral cavity, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0010] In order to facilitate the brushing of food residues in the tooth surface and interdental spaces:

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the end of the flushing pipe where the main bristles are arranged is in an expanded shape.

[0012] The improved flushing pipe has an end where the main bristles are arranged in an expanded shape, which can increase the spraying area of the water flow, so that the water flow can more evenly cover the tooth surface and interdental spaces, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the suction head of the negative pressure suction pipe is inclined downward and located on the side of the flushing pipe where the main bristles are arranged close to the hand-held part.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the improvement are: the suction head of the negative pressure suction pipe is inclined downward and located on the side of the main bristle part of the flushing pipe close to the hand-held part. When the flushing pipe sprays water into the oral cavity, the water flows into the oral cavity. Such layout can more effectively absorb and remove food residues and excess water in the oral cavity. The inclined downward suction head design helps to guide the water flow and food residues to the negative pressure suction pipe, thereby avoiding their retention or reflux in the oral cavity of the patient, reducing the risk of swallowing disorders in patients.

[0016] In order to further improve the comprehensiveness and efficiency of oral cleaning:

[0017] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the side of the brush head away from the negative pressure suction pipe is provided with a tongue cleaning plate.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the improvement are: the tongue cleaning plate can be made of silica gel material, and the surface has texture and protrusions. It can not only facilitate the scraping of the tongue coating on the surface of the tongue, reduce bacterial growth and the occurrence of bad breath, but also will not harm the oral mucosa, further improving the comprehensiveness and efficiency of oral cleaning.

[0019] In order to ensure that the side bristles can fully cover the side walls of the oral cavity and the difficult-to-reach areas:

[0020] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the number of side bristles is at least one group.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the improvement are: the number of side bristles is at least one group. When the side bristles are two groups, they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the brush head. Such design can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the patient's oral cavity, ensuring that the side bristles can fully cover the side walls of the oral cavity and the difficult-to-reach areas. Multiple groups of side bristles can also improve the efficiency and comfort of cleaning, reducing discomfort during the cleaning process.

[0022] In order to enable medical staff to conveniently control the switches of flushing and negative pressure suction:

[0023] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the ends of the negative pressure suction pipe and the flushing pipe away from the brush head pass through the hand-held part and extend to the outside of the hand-held part.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the improvement are: the ends of the negative pressure suction pipe and the flushing pipe away from the brush head pass through the hand-held part and extend to the outside of the hand-held part. The negative pressure suction pipe is connected to the negative pressure device, and the flushing pipe is connected to the water source. Such design enables medical staff to conveniently control the switches of flushing and negative pressure suction, as well as adjust the intensity of water flow and negative pressure. At the same time, this design also helps to keep the hand-held part clean and dry, improving the service life and safety of the entire device. When cleaning and disinfecting the cleaning part, the negative pressure suction pipe and the flushing pipe are disconnected from the negative pressure device and the water source respectively, which is single-use, avoiding the risk of cross-infection.

[0030] In order to make the skilled in the art better understand the technical scheme of the present application, the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings, and the description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not have any limiting effect on the protection scope of the present application.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1-4 , a swallowing disorder patient oral cavity flushing and suction nursing device, including a hand-held part 1 convenient for human hand to hold, a cleaning part 2 connected at the free end of the hand-held part 1 and used for cleaning the residual food residues in the oral cavity, the cleaning part 2 includes a brush head 3, a side brush hair 4 is installed on the side wall of the brush head 3, used for assisting in cleaning the side wall of the oral cavity and the area difficult to reach; a flushing pipe 5 is arranged through the inside of the brush head 3, used for spraying water flow into the oral cavity to clean the food residues in the tooth surface and the interdental space; a main brush hair 6 is arranged at the end of the flushing pipe 5 away from the hand-held part 1, and works cooperatively with the flushing pipe 5 to enhance the cleaning effect; a negative pressure suction pipe 7 is located below the flushing pipe 5, and absorbs and removes the food residues and excess water in the oral cavity by generating negative pressure, so as to ensure the oral cavity clean and not cause the swallowing difficulty of the patient. The device integrates the cleaning, flushing and negative pressure suction functions in one, and is particularly suitable for oral cavity nursing of swallowing disorder patients. Through the cooperative action of the brush head 3, the side brush hair 4 and the main brush hair 6, the food residues in the oral cavity, especially the area difficult to reach, can be cleaned comprehensively. At the same time, the water flow sprayed by the flushing pipe 5 can further clean the tooth surface and the interdental space, and the negative pressure suction pipe 7 can effectively absorb and remove the food residues and excess water in the oral cavity, so as to ensure the oral cavity clean and not increase the swallowing burden of the patient.

[0032] Further, as shown in Figures 3-4As shown, the non-linear design of the flushing pipe 5 can more flexibly adapt to the complex structure in the oral cavity, so that the water flow can be more uniformly sprayed to each corner of the oral cavity, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Such design also helps to reduce the discomfort during the flushing process, and improves the use experience of the patient. The flushing pipe 5 can be provided in an arc shape, and the head end can be inclined downward.

[0033] Further, as shown in Figures 3-4 The end of the flushing pipe 5 provided with the main bristles 6 is flared, which can increase the spraying area of the water flow, so that the water flow can more uniformly cover the tooth surface and the interdental space, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the flared design also helps to better fix the main bristles 6, and the food residues in the tooth surface and the interdental space are brushed out by the main bristles 6. Then, the negative pressure suction pipe 7 is connected to the negative pressure device, and the food residues and secretions in the oral cavity are sucked away by adjusting the pressure of the negative pressure suction pipe 7, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire cleaning part 2.

[0034] Further, as shown in Figures 2-4 The suction head of the negative pressure suction pipe 7 is inclined downward and located on the side of the part of the flushing pipe 5 provided with the main bristles 6 close to the hand-held part 1. When the flushing pipe 5 sprays water into the oral cavity, the water flows into the oral cavity. Such layout can more effectively absorb and remove the food residues and excess water in the oral cavity. The inclined downward suction head design helps to guide the water flow and the food residues to the negative pressure suction pipe 7, thereby avoiding their stagnation or backflow in the oral cavity or into the throat of the patient, reducing the risk of swallowing disorder patients.

[0035] Further, as shown in Figure 1 The tongue cleaning plate 8 is arranged on the side of the brush head 3 away from the suction head of the negative pressure suction pipe 7. The tongue cleaning plate 8 can be made of silicone material, and the surface has texture and protrusions. It not only can facilitate the scraping of the tongue coating on the surface of the tongue, reduce the occurrence of bacterial growth and halitosis, but also will not harm the oral mucosa, thereby further improving the comprehensiveness and efficiency of oral cleaning.

[0036] Further, as shown in Figures 1-2 The number of side bristles 4 is at least one group. When the side bristles 4 are two groups, they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the brush head 3. Such design can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the oral cavity of the patient, so as to ensure that the side bristles 4 can fully cover the side wall of the oral cavity and the difficult-to-reach area. Multiple groups of side bristles 4 can also improve the efficiency and comfort of cleaning, and reduce the discomfort during the cleaning process. At the same time, the side bristles 4 and the main bristles 6 can be made of natural pig bristle, polyester filament bristle and other materials. The material is relatively soft and will not harm the oral cavity of the patient.

[0037] Further, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the negative pressure suction pipe 7 and the flushing pipe 5 pass through the handheld part 1 and extend to the outside of the handheld part 1 from one end of the brush head 3, the negative pressure suction pipe 7 is connected with a negative pressure device capable of adjusting the pressure, such as a negative pressure sputum aspirator, and the flushing pipe 5 is connected with a water source, and an adjusting valve can be arranged between the flushing pipe 5 and the water source to adjust the flow of water sprayed by the flushing pipe 5, so that the medical staff can conveniently control the switch of flushing and negative pressure suction, and adjust the flow and the strength of the negative pressure, at the same time, such design is also helpful to keep the handheld part 1 clean and dry, and improve the service life and safety of the whole device.
