Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dental instruments, and in particular to a novel dental endoscope for dental use. Background Technology

[0002] The development of dental endoscopes has a profound technological background. In the early days, medical workers began to explore suitable tools in order to clearly observe the complex and hidden structures inside the oral cavity. The initial dental endoscopes were relatively simple in design, with ordinary lens materials and limited image quality, and the handles were not very comfortable to hold. With the advancement of optical technology, high-quality glass and optical plastics were used to make lenses, which improved the clarity and accuracy of imaging. Anti-fog coating technology also emerged, solving the problem of fogging on the mirror surface affecting observation.

[0003] A dental mirror typically consists of a handle and a lens. Utilizing the principle of light reflection, when light shines on the internal tissues of the mouth, it is reflected onto the lens of the mirror, which then reflects this reflected light back to the doctor's eyes, allowing the doctor to observe the inside of the mouth. During a complete oral examination, the doctor will switch between dental mirrors equipped with plane mirrors and concave mirrors, depending on the area being observed. The plane mirror provides a holistic, proportionate view of the front of the mouth, while the concave mirror allows for better observation of harder-to-see areas by utilizing its light-converging and magnifying properties.

[0004] During oral examinations, doctors need to constantly switch between using oral mirrors equipped with plane mirrors and concave mirrors to obtain a complete picture of the oral cavity, which reduces work efficiency. To address this issue, a new type of oral mirror specifically designed for oral examinations has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel oral mirror for oral cavity use, comprising a fixed frame 1 and a second handle 3. The rear end of the fixed frame 1 is rotatably connected to a first handle 2. A fixed shell 4 is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 1, and a fixing component 5 is disposed inside the fixed shell 4. A flip frame 6 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 1. Connecting shells 7 are fixedly connected inside both the first handle 2 and the second handle 3, and folding components 8 are installed inside the two connecting shells 7. The fixing component 5 includes a rod 9, which is slidably connected inside the fixed shell 4, using the fixed shell 4 to protect the internal structure. A spring 10 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rod 9, and a baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rod 9. The spring 10 and the baffle 11 cooperate to apply pressure to the rod 9, causing it to move backward. Slots 12 are provided on both sides of the flip frame 6, and the rod 9 engages with the slots 12. The rod 9 moves backward and inserts into the slots 12 of the flip frame 6, fixing the position of the flip frame 6. A plane mirror 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the flip frame 6, and a concave mirror 14 is fixedly connected to the other side of the flip frame 6. By fixing the position of the flip frame 6, the plane mirror 13 or the concave mirror 14 is fixed to face upward.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The folding assembly 8 includes two connecting posts 15, which are fixedly connected to the interiors of two connecting shells 7. A rotating frame 16 is rotatably connected to the outer side of one connecting post 15, and a rotating frame 2 17 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the other connecting post 15. The connecting posts 15 connect the rotating frame 16 and rotating frame 2 17 to the two connecting shells 7 respectively. The top of rotating frame 2 17 is rotatably connected to the top of rotating frame 16. Sliders 18 are rotatably connected to the sides of both rotating frame 16 and rotating frame 2 17. Folding handles 1 2 and 2 3 are also rotatably connected. Rotating frame 16 and rotating frame 2 17 rotate on the connecting posts 15 and are supported by the sliders 18 during folding. A slot 19 is provided inside the connecting shell 7, and the connecting post 15 is fixedly connected inside the slot 19, providing space for the rotating frame 16 and rotating frame 2 17 to rotate. The interior of the connecting shell 7 has a groove 20. The slider 18 is slidably connected inside the groove 20. When folding handle 1 2 and handle 2 3, the slider 18 slides in the groove 20, providing support and damping for handle 1 2 and handle 2 3 during the folding process.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-4A connecting sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of handle 2, and a connecting sleeve 22 is slidably connected to the outer side of handle 3. A threaded sleeve 23 is fixedly connected to the front side of connecting sleeve 22, and the threaded sleeve 23 is threaded into the inside of connecting sleeve 21. The cooperation of connecting sleeve 21 and connecting sleeve 22 stabilizes the unfolded state of handle 2 and handle 3. The fixing frame 1 is made of rubber to prevent injury to the patient if the doctor accidentally bumps the fixing frame 1 against the patient.

[0035] Working principle: When using this oral mirror, the dentist holds handle 1 (2) and handle 2 (3), adjusts the angle of the fixed frame 1, and places it in the patient's mouth. When it is necessary to switch mirrors, the dentist pulls out the insert rod 9 inside the fixed shell 4, disengaging it from the slot 12 of the flip frame 6. The flip frame 6 is rotated so that the slot 12 on the other side aligns with the insert rod 9. Then, the insert rod 9 is released. The pressure generated by the cooperation of the spring 10 and the baffle 11 causes the insert rod 9 to move backward and insert into the slot 12, fixing the position of the flip frame 6, so that the required plane mirror 1 is positioned correctly. 3. Or, with the concave mirror 14 facing upwards, continue the inspection. When it is necessary to store or unload the oral mirror, first open the connecting sleeve 1 21 and the connecting sleeve 2 22, and fold the handle 1 2 and the handle 2 3 downwards. The rotating frame 1 16 and the rotating frame 2 17 inside the connecting shell 7 rotate. Through the cooperation of the slider 18 on the side of the rotating frame 1 16 and the rotating frame 2 17 and the sliding groove 20 inside the connecting shell 7, support and a certain amount of damping are provided when folding the handle 1 2 and the handle 2 3 downwards, thus completing the work of folding the handle 1 2 and the handle 2 3.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
