[0032] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0033] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0034] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0036] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0037] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] like Figs. 1-4 As shown, a detachable dental chairside saliva suction protection device is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure and is applied to a saliva suction tube 1. It includes a protective cover 2, a sealing mechanism, and a hand-held mechanism. The two edges of the protective cover 2 are arc-shaped to better fit the patient's face. The protective cover 2 is made of transparent plastic, which facilitates operation. During operation, the patient's mouth can be observed through the transparent protective cover 2. The circumferential surface of the saliva suction tube 1 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip sleeve 9 to prevent medical staff from slipping when using the saliva suction tube 1.

[0039] The saliva suction tube 1 is mounted on the protective cover 2 via a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes a fixed block 3 and a rotating ball 4. The protective cover 2 has a through hole, and the fixed block 3 is fixedly connected to the through hole, which increases the stability of the saliva suction tube 1 when it swings within the protective cover 2. The fixed block 3 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 2 and has a rotating groove. The rotating ball 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove and has a sliding hole. The saliva suction tube 1 is slidably connected to the sliding hole. After the medical staff places the saliva suction tube 1 into the patient's mouth, when it is necessary to swing the saliva suction tube 1, the rotating ball 4 rotates within the rotating groove on the fixed block 3, thereby supporting the saliva suction tube 1 to swing at multiple angles within the patient's mouth. The saliva suction tube 1 moves within the sliding hole on the rotating ball 4, thus supporting the movement of the saliva suction tube 1 within the patient's mouth.

[0040] A sealing mechanism is installed on the protective cover 2 to seal the saliva suction tube 1 and the protective cover 2. The sealing mechanism includes a fixing ring 5 and a sealing sleeve 6. The sealing sleeve 6 is made of rubber and has a certain degree of flexibility while sealing the protective cover 2 and the saliva suction tube 1, so that the seal can still be maintained when the saliva suction tube 1 swings. The fixing ring 5 is slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the saliva suction tube 1. One end of the sealing sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 5, and the other end of the sealing sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 3. The saliva suction tube 1 slides on the fixing ring 5 and is fixed between the protective cover 2 and the fixing ring 5 by the sealing sleeve 6, so that the seal between the saliva suction tube 1 and the protective cover 2 can be maintained while the saliva suction tube 1 moves within the protective cover 2 and the fixing ring 5.

[0041] There are two hand-held mechanisms, both of which are mounted on the protective cover 2. They are used by medical staff to fix the position of the protective cover 2. The hand-held mechanism includes a fixed rod 7 and a hand-held rod 8. Both hand-held rods 8 are semi-circular. The two opposing semi-circular hand-held rods 8 form a circle, which is convenient for medical staff to hold. There are two fixed rods 7, both of which are fixedly connected to the protective cover 2. There are two hand-held rods 8, which are fixedly connected to the two fixed rods 7. The two opposing semi-circular hand-held rods 8 form a circle, which is convenient for medical staff to hold the hand-held rods 8 and put the protective cover 2 over the patient's mouth.

[0042] Working principle: When suctioning saliva from a patient's mouth, medical staff hold a handheld rod 8 with a protective cover 2 and attach it to the patient's mouth. At this time, the suction tube 1 is inserted into the patient's mouth. The rotating ball 4 rotates in the rotating groove opened on the fixed block 3, thereby supporting the oscillation of the suction tube 1 in the mouth and adjusting the suction position. The suction tube 1 slides within the fixed ring 5 and the rotating ball 4, thereby supporting the depth of the suction tube 1 inserted into the mouth. This achieves protection for medical staff while allowing the suction tube 1 to perform a more comprehensive suction operation in the patient's mouth.

[0043] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
