Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of desktop orthodontic technology, and in particular relates to an orthodontic support structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, people are paying more and more attention to physical health and the development of correct posture. Whether in a study or office setting, maintaining a bad posture for a long time can easily lead to various health problems, such as scoliosis and myopia. Taking study desks and office settings as examples, students spend a long time studying at their desks, and office workers work at their desks for long periods of time. Without suitable auxiliary equipment, it is difficult to maintain the correct sitting posture and eye distance.

[0003] As a tool that helps people maintain correct posture, orthotics have emerged and been widely used. In learning settings, orthotics can help students maintain an upright sitting posture, avoid hunching over, and help prevent myopia and spinal deformities. In office settings, orthotics can help office workers maintain good posture, reduce pressure on the neck and waist, and improve work efficiency and comfort.

[0004] However, most orthodontic support panels on the market today are made of rigid plastic integrated with the orthodontic appliance. While this traditional design offers some strength and stability, it has several significant drawbacks. Specifically, from a functional perspective, its functionality is limited. These orthodontic panels can only be used to install the appliance and cannot meet other needs in learning or office settings. For example, students may need a flat desktop for books and writing, while office workers may need a comfortable desktop for computer use and document storage. Traditional rigid plastic orthodontic panels cannot provide these additional functions. Secondly, rigid plastic panels present significant limitations in terms of storage and transportation. Due to their hardness, they cannot be folded or rolled up, taking up considerable space. This not only increases transportation costs but also requires a large storage space, posing a significant inconvenience for students with limited space on their desks or study tables. Finally, in terms of user experience, traditional rigid plastic panels do not fit well with the desktop, making them prone to sliding and shifting during use, affecting the effectiveness of the orthodontic appliance.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the traditional large plate support structure of orthodontic appliances, practitioners have designed an orthodontic support structure that effectively solves many shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Combination Figure 1-4 The illustrated orthodontic support structure mainly consists of an orthodontic plate 1 and an orthodontic 2 that works in conjunction with it.

[0030] The orthodontic mounting plate 1 is a key component of this support system. It is composed of an orthodontic mounting base 101 and a table mat mounting plate 102. The orthodontic mounting base 101 is made of a rigid material, which has excellent strength and stability, providing a solid and reliable foundation for the installation of the orthodontic device 2. At a specific position on the orthodontic mounting base 101, an interactive structure that is highly compatible with the orthodontic device 2 is set. The table mat mounting plate 102 is made of a soft material, which gives the table mat mounting plate 102 good flexibility and a comfortable feel. The table mat mounting plate 102 is firmly combined with the orthodontic mounting base 101 through a fixed connection structure to form a complete integrated structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the interaction structure between the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the orthodontic 2 mainly covers two categories: detachable connection structure and deformable storage structure. Together, they give the orthodontic 2 support structure excellent flexibility and practicality.

[0032] The detachable connection structure, a key component for convenient installation and removal of the orthodontic appliance 2, takes various forms. For example, the snap-fit ​​connection structure uses matching snaps and slots on the appliance mounting base 101 and the appliance 2. When they align, the snaps precisely engage with the slots, producing a crisp "click" sound, indicating a successful connection. This connection method can withstand a certain amount of external force, ensuring the appliance 2 will not accidentally detach during normal use. Disassembly is simple: just press the unlocking part of the snap to quickly separate the appliance 2 from the mounting base 101. The magnetic connection structure cleverly utilizes the properties of magnetism. High-performance magnetic materials are embedded in corresponding positions on the mounting base 101 and the appliance 2. When they come close, a strong magnetic force quickly attracts them together, achieving a rapid connection. Furthermore, the magnetic attraction force can be adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring the stability of the appliance 2 during use. Qualitatively, when separation is required, simply overcome the magnetic force and gently pull apart without causing any damage to the equipment; the threaded connection structure is a classic and stable connection method. An internal thread is machined on the orthodontic mounting base 101, and an external thread is provided on the orthodontic 2 to match it. By rotating the orthodontic 2 clockwise or counterclockwise, it can be tightly screwed into the orthodontic mounting base 101. This connection method can provide high connection strength and is suitable for use scenarios with high stability requirements. When disassembling, simply rotate in the opposite direction to easily separate; the plug-in connection structure is also very practical. A slot with a shape and size that is precisely matched to the pin of the orthodontic 2 is opened on the orthodontic mounting base 101. The slot may also be designed with an elastic limiting structure. When the pin of the orthodontic 2 is inserted into the slot, the limiting structure will automatically lock the pin to prevent it from loosening and ensure the reliability of the connection. When disassembling, simply overcome the resistance of the limiting structure to pull out the pin and complete the separation operation;

[0033] The deformable storage structure greatly enhances the storage convenience and space adaptability of the orthosis 2 support structure. It also comes in various forms. For example, the rotating joint structure is commonly used in designs requiring flexible adjustment of angle and direction. A precision-machined rotating joint is installed on the orthosis mounting base 101, allowing the orthosis 2 to rotate freely 360 degrees around this joint. When storage is needed, the orthosis 2 can be rotated to a position that fits snugly against the orthosis mounting base 101, effectively reducing space occupation. Furthermore, during use, the angle of the orthosis 2 can be adjusted according to the user's actual needs to achieve the best performance. The folding hinge structure is also a commonly used deformable storage method, similar to common door and window hinges. At the connection between the orthosis mounting base 101 and the orthosis 2... The orthodontic device 2 is equipped with a folding hinge. When it needs to be stored, the device can be folded along the hinge to form a compact whole with the orthodontic mounting base 101, greatly reducing the floor space. When unfolded, the sturdy structure of the hinge ensures that the orthodontic device 2 is kept at the set angle and will not wobble. The telescopic linkage structure achieves the telescopic function of the structure through clever mechanical design. A telescopic linkage mechanism is installed between the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the orthodontic device 2. The linkage is generally composed of multiple nested sections and can be fixed at different telescopic length positions by an internal locking device. When stored, the linkage can be retracted to its shortest state, so that the orthodontic device 2 is close to the mounting base 101, saving space. When in use, the linkage can be stretched to a suitable length as needed to meet the requirements of different usage scenarios.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixed connection structure between the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat board 102 is a key link to ensure that the two are tightly connected and work together. The connection methods are diverse, including but not limited to overmolding, sewing, and adhesive bonding. Overmolding is a very common and effective fixing method. In actual operation, the surface of the orthodontic mounting base 101 must first be cleaned and polished to ensure that its surface roughness is suitable and can adhere tightly to the subsequent covering material. Then, soft materials such as liquid rubber and silicone, formulated with a special formula, are evenly wrapped around the surface of the orthodontic mounting base 101 using professional injection molding equipment. During the wrapping process, it is ensured that the overmolding layer is of uniform thickness and free of bubbles and voids. After the overmolding material cools and solidifies, the soft material used in the table mat panel 102 forms a strong, integrated structure with the orthodontic mounting base 101. This overmolding connection not only effectively enhances the connection strength between the two but also provides a certain degree of cushioning and shock absorption, reducing damage to the connection area caused by external impacts. The sewing connection structure uses needle and thread to firmly sew the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat panel 102 together. Before sewing, the sewing positions must be accurately marked on the table mat panel 102 according to the shape and size of the orthodontic mounting base 101. Then, high-strength, corrosion-resistant sewing thread, such as nylon or polyester thread, is selected and sewn using a professional sewing machine. During the sewing process, the spacing, density, and direction of the stitches are carefully designed. A fine and even stitch arrangement is generally used to ensure a strong connection. For complex shapes or areas subjected to high stress, double or multiple layers of stitching may be used for reinforcement, further enhancing the reliability of the connection. Through the sewing connection structure, a tight and resilient connection is formed between the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat plate 102, capable of adapting to various complex usage environments. The adhesive bonding structure also plays a crucial role in the fixed connection between the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat plate 102. When implementing the adhesive bonding, the mating surfaces of the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat plate 102 must first be cleaned and degreased. Pre-treatment involves removing surface oil, dust, and other impurities to improve adhesive adhesion. Then, a suitable adhesive with good compatibility and high bonding strength, such as epoxy resin or polyurethane, is selected and evenly applied to the mating surfaces of the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat plate 102. During application, ensure even coverage without any omissions. After application, quickly bond the two surfaces together and apply appropriate pressure to ensure the adhesive fully fills the tiny gaps between the mating surfaces, enhancing the bonding effect. After bonding, a high-strength adhesive connection is formed between the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat plate 102, effectively resisting various external forces and impacts, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire orthodontic support structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, a stress-dispersing structure is specially constructed at the connection between the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat board 102. This structure is designed with a stepped bite shape. In actual use scenarios, the orthodontic device 2 will inevitably encounter various external impacts, such as the torque generated by the user frequently adjusting the position and the impact force caused by accidental collisions. These forces will be concentrated in the joint area between the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat board 102. If there is no effective stress dispersion mechanism, this area is very prone to material fatigue and deformation due to excessive stress concentration, and even loosening and cracking of the connection parts, which will seriously affect the normal use of the orthodontic device. The stepped bite structure creates a series of mutually fitting stepped protrusions and grooves on the mating surface of the orthodontic mounting base 101 and the table mat board 102 to ensure precise bite when the two are assembled. Once the orthodontic appliance 2 is subjected to external force, the stepped occlusal structure can fully play its role, distributing the concentrated stress evenly along the multiple contact surfaces of the steps to the entire mating area, significantly improving the reliability and service life of the entire orthodontic appliance 2 support structure.

[0036] In this embodiment, a binding structure adapted to the table mat panel 102 is carefully designed around the edge of the orthodontic mounting base 101. This binding structure comes in various forms, each with its own advantages, including folded-over binding, injection-molded binding, and sewn binding. During the manufacturing process, a certain amount of binding is left at the connection between the table mat panel 102 and the orthodontic mounting base 101. Then, this soft material is folded and wrapped along the edge of the orthodontic mounting base 101. This folded-over binding not only effectively hides the sharp edges of the orthodontic mounting base 101, preventing accidental scratches to the user, but also adds to the overall structural integrity. A simple yet aesthetically pleasing texture; the injection-molded edges utilize advanced injection molding technology. When processing the orthodontic mounting base 101, a specific injection area is reserved on its edge. During the assembly of the table mat panel 102 and the mounting base 101, precisely proportioned liquid rubber, silicone, and other soft coating materials are injected into the reserved area through an injection molding machine, resulting in a smooth and integrated visual effect. The sewn edging is a high-density process, meticulously stitching the edges of the table mat panel 102 to the orthodontic mounting base 101, presenting a refined and neat aesthetic.

[0037] In this embodiment, the table mat board 102 uses a wide variety of soft materials, covering a range of types with different characteristics and advantages. These include, but are not limited to, rubber, silicone, leather, and fabric. Rubber is favored for its excellent elasticity and good wear resistance. It not only provides a soft touch but also resists a certain degree of friction and scratches during daily use, extending the product's lifespan. Silicone is non-toxic, odorless, and resistant to high and low temperatures. Its soft and delicate texture provides users with an extremely comfortable feel. In addition, silicone is not prone to bacterial and mold growth, making it easy to clean and maintain, providing users with a hygienic and convenient user experience. Leather adds a touch of high-end quality and texture to the table mat board 102. Fabric is also a commonly used soft material for the table mat board 102, with different types of fabric each having its own unique characteristics.

[0038] In this embodiment, the thickness of the table mat 102 is precisely set within the range of 3-15mm. This thickness range ensures that the table mat 102 has sufficient softness to provide a comfortable tactile experience for the user, while maintaining good structural strength to ensure that it is not easily damaged or deformed during daily use. The thinner 3mm thickness is suitable for scenarios where lightweight portability is required, allowing users to easily roll it up and carry it. The thicker 15mm thickness performs well in environments requiring stronger cushioning performance. The edges of the table mat 102 are designed with rounded corner transition structures, which greatly improves the safety of use. The bottom surface of the table mat 102 is reinforced with anti-slip material. The structure ensures stability in various usage scenarios. The anti-slip enhancement structure offers diverse forms and powerful functions. One example is the one-piece molded anti-slip texture, created during the production of the table mat board 102 by using a special mold to directly integrate the texture with the bottom surface of the table mat. These textures, arranged regularly or irregularly, ensure close contact with the tabletop, effectively preventing the table mat from sliding through friction. Anti-slip particles are another common anti-slip method; these tiny particles are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the table mat, significantly increasing the friction between the table mat and the tabletop. Additionally, the anti-slip coating is formed by evenly spraying or coating a special anti-slip material onto the bottom surface of the table mat, providing reliable protection for users.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0040] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
