[0025] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, only for explaining the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0026] In the description of the present application, it needs to be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as indicating or implying that the device or element indicated must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included one or more. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0027] In the description of the present application, it needs to be explained that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected, it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected, it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the utility model described above can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.

[0029] The utility model provides a kind of Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 3The utility model provides a kind of foldable disposable dental mouth mirror, for medical institutions in stomatology, dental clinic etc., auxiliary medical staff observes the inside tooth, gum, tongue etc.

[0030] It should be noted that, in order to be able to pull the corner of the tongue muscle, etc., the conventional disposable dental mouth mirror is usually fixed and cannot be adjusted. This fixed form of structural design is prone to cause some inconvenience. For example, during the process of treating the posterior teeth in the oral cavity, the doctor needs to probe the condition of the affected tooth from the mirror, and the mouth mirror with a fixed angle will increase the burden on the left hand of the doctor. Moreover, it is difficult for the doctor to observe the inner part of the patient's oral cavity, resulting in a large range of oral cavity blind area.

[0031] The medical staff can adjust the approximate bending angle of the lens holder 3 through the bending neck 2 according to the need of operating the mouth mirror, and then can adjust the angle between the lens holder 3 and the bending neck 2 through the universal ball joint 23, which is convenient for the medical staff to observe the blind area in the oral environment. This makes the dental mouth mirror more flexible in the patient's oral cavity, and improves the convenience of the medical staff operating the dental mouth mirror.

[0032] Although the bending neck 2 can also be bent at a large angle, the bending radius of the bending neck 2 is large when it is bent at a large angle, which will occupy too much observation space. The spherical universal ball joint 23 can adjust the angle between the lens holder 3 and the bending neck 2 at a large range and at a large angle, and can also control the bending radius within a small range, without occupying too much space, which is convenient for the medical staff to observe the blind area in the oral environment.

[0033] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, one side of the lens seat 3 is provided with a sleeve 32, and a limiting groove 321 is formed in the sleeve 32 for sleeving the universal ball joint 23. The universal ball joint 23 is arranged on the curved neck 2 away from the holding handle 1, and the limiting groove 321 is matched with the universal ball joint 23. The sleeve 32 and the universal ball joint 23 are connected in an interference fit. The interference fit enables the universal ball to be closely connected with the sleeve 32. When the lens seat 3 has no adjustment requirement, the lens seat 3 can be kept at a set angle position with the curved neck 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, the lens seat 3 and the sleeve 32 are integrally formed and are both plastic structures. The plastic structure is easy to form and has low production cost.

[0035] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The curved neck 2 includes a shapeable metal rod 21 and a shapeable sleeve 22. The shapeable sleeve 22 is sleeved on the shapeable metal rod 21, and the two ends of the shapeable metal rod 21 are connected to the holding handle 1 and the universal ball joint 23, respectively. The shapeable metal rod 21 serves as a support framework of the curved neck 2, so that the curved neck 2 has the function of being able to bend and adjust the angle. The shapeable sleeve 22 is soft in texture, which can avoid the shapeable metal rod 21 from directly contacting the oral tissue of the patient, thereby achieving the effect of buffering protection.

[0036] Further, the shapeable sleeve 22 is a plastic sleeve. The plastic sleeve has excellent flexibility and can be easily bent and twisted without breaking. Moreover, the plastic sleeve has low cost and meets the demand of one-time use.

[0037] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The lens seat 3 is a disc-shaped structure, which includes front and back surfaces.

[0038] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The reflecting mirror 31 is a plane mirror 311 arranged on the front surface of the lens seat 3.

[0039] Further, the lens seat 3 is coated with a silica gel ring on the outer side wall. The silica gel ring is smooth in surface and soft in texture, which can reduce the friction between the lens seat 3 and the oral tissue of the patient.

[0040] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The outer side wall of the holding handle 1 is provided with anti-slip lines 11.

[0041] Further, the holding handle 1 is a plastic handle.

[0042] In summary, the application provides a bendable disposable dental mouth mirror, medical staff can adjust the approximate bending angle of the lens holder 3 by bending the neck 2 according to the need of operating the mouth mirror, and then can adjust the angle between the lens holder 3 and the bending neck 2 through the large-angle adjustment of the universal ball, which is convenient for medical staff to observe the blind area in the oral environment. Therefore, the working flexibility of the dental mouth mirror in the patient's oral cavity is higher, and the convenience of medical staff operating the dental mouth mirror is improved.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, but not limitation to the embodiments. Other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description for those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments need not and cannot be exhausted. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
