Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tongue guard technology, and in particular to a tongue guard with saliva suction function. Background Technology

[0002] In dental treatment, tongue guards are a commonly used auxiliary tool, mainly used to fix the patient's tongue in a specific position during treatment, so that the doctor can examine or operate on the oral cavity.

[0003] Traditional tongue depressors are typically flat and primarily used to depress the tongue, offering a relatively limited function. However, in dental treatment, to address the lingual aspect of the patient's molars, lateral depressoring of the tongue is necessary. This makes traditional tongue depressors inadequate for the required function. Furthermore, the natural secretion of saliva during lateral depressoring is unavoidable, and saliva buildup can obstruct vision and hinder operation. Consequently, additional tools are usually required after using the tongue depressor to extract or clean the saliva, which not only increases the complexity of the treatment but may also prolong the treatment time, affecting patient comfort and treatment outcomes.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, a tongue guard with saliva-absorbing function is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tongue guard with a saliva-absorbing function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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.

[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-3 The tongue guard with saliva suction function shown includes a tongue guard 100, an arm 101 extending outward along an arc trajectory integrally formed on the end face of the tongue guard 100, and a saliva collection cavity 102 recessed inward on one side of the tongue guard 100. A filter element is fixedly disposed at the end of the saliva collection cavity 102, which is used to block the tongue and filter saliva. A saliva suction structure is disposed at the bottom of the saliva collection cavity 102, and the saliva suction structure passes through the arm 101 and communicates with the outside. The saliva suction structure is used to transport the saliva filtered out of the saliva collection cavity 102. The tongue guard 100 and the arm 101 are integrally formed to form the tongue guard, which can ensure the rigidity of the tongue guard. The strength ensures that it is not easily deformed or damaged during use; in addition, the side of the tongue-blocking part 100 that presses against the tongue is an arc surface, which can be adapted to the side wall of the tongue, thereby achieving stable pressing and blocking of the side wall of the tongue. While the tongue-blocking part 100 blocks the tongue, the saliva secreted on the tongue can enter the saliva collection cavity 102 of the tongue-blocking part 100 through the filter element and accumulate. Then, the negative pressure suction of the suction structure can be provided by the external negative pressure mechanism such as the air pump to suction out the saliva accumulated at the bottom of the saliva collection cavity 102, reducing the accumulation of saliva in the oral cavity, thereby reducing the visual impact of saliva on the treatment of the oral cavity, and helping to improve the convenience and quality of oral treatment.

[0028] The filter element includes a blocking frame 103, which is fixedly connected to the port of the saliva collection cavity 102. The blocking frame 103 is provided with through holes that communicate with the saliva collection cavity 102. The blocking frame 103 is made of rigid material and mainly provides blocking and support for the sidewalls of the tongue. The blocking frame 103 has a perforated structure, which not only provides support and blocking for the sidewalls of the tongue, but also allows saliva to pass through the blocking frame 103 and enter the saliva collection cavity 102.

[0029] Furthermore, the filter also includes an auxiliary filter 104, which is fixedly connected to the side of the blocking frame 103 away from the saliva collection cavity 102. The surface of the blocking frame 103 is honeycomb-shaped. The auxiliary filter 104 is installed on the side of the blocking frame 103 away from the saliva collection cavity 102, and the surface of the auxiliary filter 104 is honeycomb-shaped. This can further increase the contact area with the sidewall of the tongue, thereby satisfying saliva filtration while making the force on the tongue more even and improving the comfort of supporting and blocking the tongue.

[0030] It should be noted that the side of the tongue-blocking part 100 near the port of the saliva collection cavity 102 is concave in an arc shape, and the side of the blocking frame 103 and the auxiliary filter 104 facing away from the saliva collection cavity 102 is adapted to the shape of the side wall of the tongue-blocking part 100. By setting the side of the tongue-blocking part 100 that contacts the side wall of the tongue to be concave in an arc shape, and adapting the surface shape of the blocking frame 103 and the auxiliary filter 104 to it, the side wall of the tongue-blocking part 100 can be adapted to the shape of the side wall of the tongue. Thus, when the side wall of the tongue-blocking part 100 contacts and squeezes the side wall of the tongue head, it can ensure stable support and blocking of the side wall of the tongue, and improve the effectiveness of the tongue-blocking plate in blocking the side wall of the tongue.

[0031] The saliva suction structure includes a saliva suction channel 105, which is located at the bottom of the tongue guard 100. One end of the saliva suction channel 105 is bent upwards and communicates with the saliva collection cavity 102. The other end of the saliva suction channel 105 extends to the end face of the arm portion 101 and communicates with the outside. The end of the saliva suction channel 105 communicates with the inner side of the bottom of the saliva collection cavity 102, and the other end of the saliva suction channel 105 communicates with the end face of the arm portion 101, allowing the external negative pressure mechanism to interact with the end of the saliva suction channel 105. The tongue guard is connected to the saliva collection cavity 102, thereby providing negative pressure suction within the saliva suction channel 105. Since the tongue guard is generally inserted into the oral cavity at an angle downwards and abuts against the side wall of the tongue during use, the inner bottom of the saliva collection cavity 102 of the tongue guard 100 is at its lowest point. Thus, when saliva is secreted at the contact point between the tongue and the side wall of the saliva collection cavity 102, the saliva will automatically flow into the inner bottom of the saliva collection cavity 102 and accumulate, allowing the port of the saliva suction channel 105 to fully extract saliva.

[0032] Furthermore, an air inlet 107 is provided on the side of the tongue-blocking part 100 away from the saliva suction channel 105. The air inlet 107 is used to allow external air to enter the saliva collection cavity 102 to maintain air pressure balance. The purpose of providing the air inlet 107 is to ensure air pressure balance within the saliva collection cavity 102 when saliva is being extracted, as the port of the saliva collection cavity 102 on the side wall of the tongue-blocking part 100 is blocked by the side wall of the tongue. This reduces the discomfort caused by excessive suction on the tongue. By providing an air inlet 107 at the top of the tongue-blocking part 100 that communicates with the saliva collection cavity 102, external air can enter the saliva collection cavity 102 through the air inlet 107, reducing the pressure difference between the tongue and the side wall of the tongue-blocking part 100. The negative pressure suction at the contact point reduces discomfort on the tongue. A saliva-gathering groove 106 is provided at the bottom of the saliva collection cavity 102, corresponding to the port of the saliva suction channel 105. The saliva-gathering groove 106 is shaped like a frustum, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A pipe connector 200 connected to the saliva suction channel 105 is fixedly connected to the end face of the arm part 101. The pipe connector 200 is used to connect to an external air extraction pipe. The saliva-gathering groove 106 allows the saliva accumulated at the bottom inner side of the saliva collection cavity 102 to be further gathered towards the port of the auxiliary filter 104. This helps to fully extract the saliva at the bottom of the saliva collection cavity 102 through the saliva suction channel 105. The pipe connector 200 is provided to facilitate connection to an external air extraction pipe.

[0033] The pipe connector 200 includes a plate connector 201, which is fixedly connected to the end face of the arm portion 101 and communicates with the saliva suction channel 105. A stepped groove 202 is formed on the end face of the plate connector 201 away from the arm portion 101. A sealing ring 204, adapted to the stepped groove 202, is fixedly connected to one end of the hose connector 203 near the plate connector 201. A sealing gasket 205 is fixedly connected to the side of the sealing ring 204 near the stepped groove 202. An internally threaded sleeve 206 is movably fitted onto the outside of the hose connector 203. The inner wall of the internally threaded sleeve 206 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the plate connector 201. The hose connected to the vacuum pump of the external negative pressure mechanism is fixedly and sealed to the hose connector 203. At this time, the internal thread... The sleeve 206 is fitted over the outside of the hose connector 203, and then the sealing ring 204 is inserted into the stepped groove 202 of the plate connector 201. The sealing ring 204 and the sealing washer 205 are used to seal the connection between the hose connector 203 and the plate connector 201. In addition, the internal thread sleeve 206 is threaded to the outer wall of the plate connector 201, so that the internal thread sleeve 206 can provide a compressive force to the sealing ring 204. This not only keeps the hose connector 203 and the plate connector 201 in place, but also enhances the airtightness between the sealing ring 204 and the stepped groove 202 by providing a compressive force to the sealing ring 204, thus ensuring the sealing of the connection.
