Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mouth opener technology, specifically a mouth opener for oral care. Background Technology

[0002] For patients with certain oral conditions such as trismus or difficulty opening their mouths, mouth sizing devices can temporarily expand the oral cavity, helping doctors to examine and treat the inside of the mouth. This allows doctors to more easily observe the patient's teeth, gums, and oral mucosa, enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment. Mouth sizing devices can also be used for daily oral care. When using tools such as toothbrushes for oral cleaning, mouth sizing devices are sometimes needed to help open the mouth and ensure more thorough cleaning of teeth and gums. Especially after certain oral surgeries, mouth sizing devices can help patients better clean and recover post-operatively.

[0003] As disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN221671630U, an auxiliary mouth opener for dental care includes a main body. Limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the outer walls on both sides of the main body. A first elastic rubber block is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the main body, and a second elastic rubber block is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the main body. Fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the first elastic rubber block and the second elastic rubber block.

[0004] Although this dental care auxiliary mouth opener allows the first and second elastic rubber blocks to be stretched and deformed by pulling the fixing block after patient use, thereby enabling the first and second limiting bands to be removed from the main body, the main body, the first and second limiting bands can be disinfected and cleaned, facilitating subsequent reuse and reducing discomfort to the lips during use, thus improving patient comfort during mouth opening. Furthermore, the dental care auxiliary mouth opener uses medical female Velcro on the first and second limiting bands and medical female Velcro on the first and second auxiliary bands, allowing the first and second auxiliary bands to be detached and replaced from the first and second limiting bands, further improving the cleanliness of the mouth opener.

[0005] However, this does not solve the problem that existing mouthguards are generally not easy to open and close flexibly, and are prone to excessive movement that could damage the mouth. This affects the safety of opening and closing the mouthguard, and makes it inconvenient to rotate the mouthguard easily, thus affecting the convenience of using the mouthguard for multi-angle rotation. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mouth opener for oral care, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the mouth opener not being convenient and flexible in opening and closing, the mouth opener being prone to excessive movement and causing damage to the mouth, affecting the safety of opening and closing the mouth opener, and the mouth opener not being convenient to rotate at various angles for use, thus affecting the convenience of using the mouth opener for multi-angle rotation.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An oral care mouth opener includes a support frame and a base plate. The base plate is mounted on the top of the support frame. A flip plate is provided on the outside of the base plate. A rotating disk is provided on the outside of the flip plate. A longitudinal support is mounted on the top of the rotating disk. Two sets of first support plates are provided on the outside of the longitudinal support. A second support plate is provided on the outside of each of the first support plates. An arc-shaped mouth opener is provided on the outside of each of the second support plates. A stepper motor is mounted on the top of the longitudinal support. A bidirectional threaded rod is mounted on the output end of the stepper motor. The bidirectional threaded rod extends into the interior of the longitudinal support and is movably connected thereto. Threaded sleeves are symmetrically fitted on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod. Sliding blocks are mounted on the surface of each threaded sleeve. A sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the longitudinal support. The sliding blocks are slidably connected to the sliding groove. The sidewalls of the sliding blocks are all connected to the first support plates. A first elastic limiting rod is movably mounted on the side of the first support plate away from the sliding blocks.

[0009] Optionally, the end of the first elastic limiting rod away from the first support plate is connected to the second support plate, and a first spring is installed on the side wall of the first support plate outside the first elastic limiting rod, with the end of the first spring away from the first support plate connected to the second support plate.

[0010] Optionally, a second elastic limiting rod is movably installed at the bottom end of the second support plate, and the end of the second elastic limiting rod away from the second support plate is connected to the arc-shaped support device.

[0011] Optionally, a second spring is installed at the bottom end of the second support plate outside the second elastic limiting rod, and the side of the second spring away from the second support plate is connected to the arc-shaped splinter.

[0012] Optionally, a first shaft is symmetrically and movably mounted on the side wall of the base plate, and an electric push rod is fitted on the surface of each first shaft.

[0013] Optionally, each of the electric push rods has a second shaft movably mounted at its output end, and each electric push rod is movably connected to the flip plate via the second shaft.

[0014] Optionally, a rotating shaft is movably mounted on the side of the flip plate away from the second axis, and the flip plate is movably connected to the base plate through the rotating shaft.

[0015] Optionally, a support shaft is movably installed at the center of the top of the flip plate, and the side of the support shaft away from the flip plate is connected to the rotating disk.

[0016] Optionally, a worm gear is fitted onto the surface of the support shaft, and a servo motor is mounted on the top of the outer flip plate of the support shaft.

[0017] Optionally, a worm gear is installed at the output end of the servo motor, and the worm gear meshes with a worm wheel.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this mouth opener not only realizes the convenient and flexible opening and closing of the mouth opener for oral care, avoiding damage to the mouth caused by excessive movement range, and improving the safety of opening and closing the mouth opener for oral care, but also facilitates convenient use of the mouth opener by rotating the mouth opener at various angles, thus improving the convenience of using the mouth opener for oral care by rotating it at multiple angles.

[0019] A stepper motor drives a bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives two sets of threaded sleeves to move in opposite directions. The threaded sleeves drive a sliding block to slide inside a groove. The sliding block drives a first support plate, a first elastic limiting rod, a second support plate, a second elastic limiting rod, and an arc-shaped mouth opener to move in opposite directions, bringing the two sets of arc-shaped mouth openers into contact. The user's mouth is opened, and the arc-shaped mouth opener is placed inside. The stepper motor is then turned on in the opposite direction, causing the two sets of arc-shaped mouth openers to move in opposite directions. When the arc-shaped mouth opener contacts and opens the user's mouth, the stepper motor stops rotating. The first spring and the first elastic limiting rod reduce the force transmitted from the first support plate to the second support plate, and the second spring and the second elastic limiting rod reduce the collision force between the arc-shaped mouth opener and the user's mouth. This allows for convenient and flexible opening and closing of the mouth opener, avoiding damage to the user's mouth due to excessive movement and improving the safety of opening and closing the mouth opener.

[0020] An electric push rod drives the second shaft to move, which in turn drives the flipping plate to rotate around the rotating axis. The flipping plate drives the rotating disk, longitudinal support, first support plate, second support plate, and arc-shaped mouth opener to rotate at a certain angle. A servo motor drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate. The worm wheel drives the support shaft, rotating disk, longitudinal support, first support plate, second support plate, and arc-shaped mouth opener to rotate at a certain angle. This allows for convenient use of the mouth opener by rotating it at multiple angles, improving its ease of use. Attached Figure Description

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an oral care mouth opener, including a support frame 1 and a base plate 2. The base plate 2 is mounted on the top of the support frame 1. A flip plate 3 is provided on the outside of the base plate 2. A rotating disk 4 is provided on the outside of the flip plate 3. A longitudinal support 5 is mounted on the top of the rotating disk 4. Two sets of first support plates 6 are provided on the outside of the longitudinal support 5. A second support plate 7 is provided on the outside of each of the first support plates 6. An arc-shaped mouth opener 8 is provided on the outside of each of the second support plates 7. A stepper motor 17 is mounted on the top of the longitudinal support 5. A bidirectional threaded rod 18 is mounted on the output end of the stepper motor 17. The bidirectional threaded rod 18 extends into the interior of the longitudinal support 5 and is movably connected thereto. Threaded sleeves 19 are symmetrically fitted on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 18. All surfaces of sleeve 19 are equipped with sliding blocks 20. The inner wall of the longitudinal support 5 is provided with a sliding groove 21. The sliding blocks 20 are slidably connected to the sliding groove 21. The side walls of the sliding blocks 20 are all connected to the first support plate 6. The side of the first support plate 6 away from the sliding blocks 20 is movably equipped with a first elastic limiting rod 23. The end of the first elastic limiting rod 23 away from the first support plate 6 is connected to the second support plate 7. The side wall of the first support plate 6 outside the first elastic limiting rod 23 is equipped with a first spring 22. The end of the first spring 22 away from the first support plate 6 is connected to the second support plate 7. The bottom end of the second support plate 7 is movably equipped with a second elastic limiting rod 25. The end of the second elastic limiting rod 25 away from the second support plate 7 is connected to the arc-shaped support device 8.

[0038] A second spring 24 is installed at the bottom of the second support plate 7 outside the second elastic limiting rod 25. The side of the second spring 24 away from the second support plate 7 is connected to the arc-shaped splinter 8.

[0039] When using an oral care mouth opener, turn on the stepper motor 17. Supported by the longitudinal bracket 5, the stepper motor 17 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 18 to rotate. With the threaded connection between the bidirectional threaded rod 18 and the threaded sleeve 19, the bidirectional threaded rod 18 drives the two sets of threaded sleeves 19 to move in opposite directions. Supported by the sliding block 20 and the sliding groove 21, the threaded sleeve 19 drives the sliding block 20 to slide inside the sliding groove 21. The sliding block 20 drives the first support plate 6, the first elastic limiting rod 23, the second support plate 7, the second elastic limiting rod 25, and the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 to move in opposite directions, causing the two sets of arc-shaped mouth openers 8 to come into contact. Open the person's mouth and insert the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 into the mouth. Inside the mouth, the stepper motor 17 is opened in the opposite direction, causing the two sets of arc-shaped mouth openers 8 to move in opposite directions. When the arc-shaped mouth openers 8 come into contact with the mouth, the stepper motor 17 stops rotating. The first spring 22 and the first elastic limit rod 23 reduce the force transmitted from the first support plate 6 to the second support plate 7. The second spring 24 and the second elastic limit rod 25 reduce the collision force between the arc-shaped mouth openers 8 and the mouth, avoiding damage to the mouth caused by excessive movement. This enables convenient and flexible opening and closing of the mouth opener for oral care, avoiding damage to the mouth caused by excessive movement and improving the safety of opening and closing the mouth opener for oral care.

[0040] A first shaft 9 is symmetrically and movably installed on the side wall of the base plate 2. An electric push rod 10 is fitted on the surface of each first shaft 9. A second shaft 11 is movably installed on the output end of each electric push rod 10. Each electric push rod 10 is movably connected to the flip plate 3 through the second shaft 11.

[0041] A rotating shaft 12 is movably installed on the side of the flip plate 3 away from the second shaft 11. The flip plate 3 is movably connected to the base plate 2 through the rotating shaft 12. A support shaft 16 is movably installed at the center of the top of the flip plate 3. The side of the support shaft 16 away from the flip plate 3 is connected to the rotating disk 4.

[0042] A worm gear 15 is fitted on the surface of the support shaft 16. A servo motor 13 is installed on the top of the external flip plate 3 of the support shaft 16. A worm 14 is installed on the output end of the servo motor 13. The worm 14 meshes with the worm gear 15.

[0043] When the mouth opener needs to be rotated for use, the two sets of electric push rods 10 are activated. Supported by the first shaft 9, the electric push rods 10 drive the second shaft 11 to move. The second shaft 11 drives the flip plate 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft 12. The flip plate 3 drives the rotating disk 4, the longitudinal support 5, the first support plate 6, the second support plate 7, and the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 to rotate at a certain angle. The servo motor 13 is activated. Supported by the flip plate 3, the servo motor 13 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate. Under the meshing of the worm gear 14 and the worm wheel 15, the worm gear 14 drives the worm wheel 15 to rotate. The worm wheel 15 drives the support shaft 16, the rotating disk 4, the longitudinal support 5, the first support plate 6, the second support plate 7, and the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 to rotate at a certain angle. This facilitates convenient rotation of the mouth opener for use, realizing convenient rotation of the mouth opener for use in oral care and improving the convenience of multi-angle rotation of the mouth opener for use in oral care.

[0044] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: When using an oral care mouth opener, the stepper motor 17 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 18 to rotate. The bidirectional threaded rod 18 drives two sets of threaded sleeves 19 to move in opposite directions. The threaded sleeves 19 drive the sliding block 20 to slide inside the slide groove 21. The sliding block 20 drives the first support plate 6, the first elastic limiting rod 23, the second support plate 7, the second elastic limiting rod 25, and the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 to move in opposite directions, so that the two sets of arc-shaped mouth openers 8 come into contact, opening the person's mouth and placing the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 into the mouth. The stepper motor 17 is then turned on in the opposite direction, causing the two sets of arc-shaped mouth openers 8 to move in opposite directions. When the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 comes into contact with the person's mouth, the stepper motor 17 stops rotating, and the first spring 22 and the first elastic limiting rod 23 slow down the movement. The first support plate 6 transmits the force of the second support plate 7. The second spring 24 and the second elastic limiting rod 25 reduce the impact force between the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 and the mouth. When the mouth opener needs to be rotated, the electric push rod 10 drives the second shaft 11 to move. The second shaft 11 drives the flipping plate 3 to rotate around the rotating shaft 12. The flipping plate 3 drives the rotating disk 4, the longitudinal support 5, the first support plate 6, the second support plate 7, and the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 to rotate at a certain angle. The servo motor 13 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate. The worm gear 14 drives the worm wheel 15 to rotate. The worm wheel 15 drives the support shaft 16, the rotating disk 4, the longitudinal support 5, the first support plate 6, the second support plate 7, and the arc-shaped mouth opener 8 to rotate at a certain angle. This facilitates convenient rotation of the mouth opener for use, thus completing the use of the mouth opener.
