Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oral instrument technology, specifically relating to a connection structure for an auxiliary intraoral breathing channel construction device. Background Technology

[0002] Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a sleep disorder in which breathing stops during sleep. The most common cause is upper airway obstruction, and it often ends with loud snoring, body jerking, or arm flailing. Sleep apnea is accompanied by sleep deficits, daytime naps, fatigue, bradycardia or arrhythmia, and an arousal state on electroencephalography (EEG). During each episode, airflow through the mouth and nose stops for 10 seconds or longer, accompanied by a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome caused by upper airway obstruction, and symptoms can be alleviated with devices.

[0003] Sleep apnea syndrome is often corrected using an intraoral airway construction device. This device is worn inside the patient's mouth and, by moving the mandible forward, moves the soft tissues that are compressing the airway forward, thereby widening the airway, making breathing easier, and thus preventing snoring. This device typically consists of an upper / lower jaw fixation structure and connecting rods. The connecting rod structure, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the upper and lower rings are connected to the fixing points of the upper / lower jaw fixation structure, respectively. The material used is usually polymethyl methacrylate. However, in actual use, we found that the connection structure is a one-piece molded structure with an unadjustable shape. After wearing it for a long time, it is easy to cause fatigue of the perioral muscles and strong discomfort. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0009] The two annular connecting pieces are arranged with two, and the circumferences of the two annular connecting pieces are fixedly connected with two sliders away from each other at one end respectively.

[0010] The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected with two sleeves respectively.

[0011] As a preferred technical scheme, the two sleeves are fixedly installed on the circumferences of the two sliders respectively, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected with the two sleeves respectively.

[0012] As a preferred technical scheme, the left and right ends of the connecting block are fixedly installed with sealing sheets respectively, and the two sealing sheets are arranged with connecting ports for the left and right movements of the sliders at the sides away from each other.

[0013] As a preferred technical scheme, the connecting block is made of metal, and the two sliders and the annular connecting pieces are made of resin.

[0014] The utility model discloses the beneficial effects are:

[0015] The spring is arranged to be fixedly connected with the two sliders, so that the two sliders can be displaced by a certain distance, and the patient can directly adjust the position relationship between the upper jaw and the lower jaw of the device after wearing the auxiliary intraoral breathing passage construction device, so that the user can gradually adapt, and the patient's perioral muscle fatigue caused by the hard connection is effectively avoided.
