Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to a flexible adjustable oral mirror for oral treatment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of oral medicine, the dental endoscope plays a crucial role as a fundamental diagnostic and treatment aid. It not only helps dentists clearly observe the condition inside a patient's mouth but also provides necessary lighting and visual support during surgery or treatment. However, existing dental endoscope designs have significant limitations in angle adjustment, which restricts their flexibility and efficiency in practical applications to some extent.

[0003] Traditional dental mirrors typically achieve basic operation through a fixed connection between the handle and the mirror. This design often only allows the mirror's angle to be adjusted by tilting the handle; however, the limitations imposed by the upper and lower teeth restrict this adjustment angle. With the continuous advancement of dental technology and the increasing diversity of clinical needs, dentists often require more flexible and varied perspectives to accurately assess the condition and perform precise procedures during complex surgeries or treatments. For example, when dealing with deep oral lesions or performing delicate restorations, limited adjustment angles can obstruct the dentist's view, leading to operational difficulties and even affecting treatment outcomes.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements to the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0069] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an adjustable oral mirror for oral treatment according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the adjustable oral mirror for oral treatment provided according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a handle 10, a mounting shell 20, a connector 22, a reflector 23, four telescopic airbags 24 and four drive components 30.

[0071] The handle 10 is easy for medical staff to grip. The outer surface of the handle 10 is provided with anti-slip texture, making the grip more secure.

[0072] The mounting shell 20 is circular and is mounted on one side of the front end of the handle 10. A receiving groove 21 is formed on one side of the mounting shell 20 facing the rear end of the handle 10.

[0073] The connector 22 is installed in the middle of the receiving groove 21.

[0074] The reflector 23 is located at the opening of the receiving groove 21 and is movably connected to the end of the connector 22 so that the reflector 23 can be tilted in the upward, downward, left and right directions.

[0075] Four telescopic airbags 24 are disposed in the mounting groove 12 and are distributed circumferentially along the receiving groove 21. The tops of the four telescopic airbags 24 abut against the back of the reflector 23 to drive the reflector 23 to rotate and tilt about the axis of the connector 22 as the center point.

[0076] The four drive components 30 are all disposed on the surface of the handle 10 and are spaced apart along its axial direction. The four drive components 30 and the four telescopic airbags 24 are connected one by one through the inflation tube 11 to drive the telescopic airbags 24 to extend and retract, thereby controlling the tilt angle of the reflector 23.

[0077] Based on the above, the design of four telescopic airbags 24 and corresponding drive components 30 allows medical staff to easily adjust the tilt angle of the reflector 23 using the drive components 30 on the operating handle 10, achieving flexible tilting in the up, down, left, and right directions. This design greatly improves the flexibility and applicability of the oral endoscope in oral treatment. The handle 10 is designed for easy gripping by medical staff, while the drive components 30 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the handle 10, allowing for single-handed operation without changing the grip position or adding extra movements, thus simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency. The flexible tilting of the reflector 23 helps medical staff better adjust their field of vision, ensuring clear observation of all corners of the oral cavity during treatment, improving the accuracy and safety of treatment.

[0078] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, each of the four driving components 30 includes a driving block 31 and an air cylinder component 32.

[0079] The outer surface of the handle 10 is provided with a mounting groove 12, which extends along the length of the handle 10, and the drive block 31 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 12.

[0080] The driving component 30 is disposed in the mounting groove 12 and connected to the end of the driving block 31. One end of the inflation tube 11 is connected to the air cylinder component 32 so that the movement of the driving component 30 drives the air cylinder component 32 to inflate and suck air into the telescopic airbag 24.

[0081] Thus, the drive block 31 is slidably mounted in the mounting groove 12 on the outer surface of the handle 10, allowing medical personnel to directly control the movement of the air cylinder component 32 by sliding the drive block 31, thereby inflating or inhaling the telescopic airbag 24. This intuitive adjustment method reduces the difficulty of operation, enabling medical personnel to adjust the tilt angle of the reflector 23 more quickly and accurately. Due to the direct connection between the drive block 31 and the air cylinder component 32, and the tight fit between the inflation tube 11 and the air cylinder component 32, this design enables precise control of the inflation or inhalation volume of the telescopic airbag 24. This helps medical personnel to fine-tune the tilt angle of the reflector 23 according to actual needs during treatment to obtain the best field of vision and treatment effect.

[0082] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the gas cylinder component 32 includes a cylinder body 321, a piston 322, and a rod body 323.

[0083] The cylinder 321 is placed horizontally in the mounting groove 12, and the air inlet pipe 11 is connected to the internal cavity of the cylinder 321.

[0084] The piston 322 is movably disposed inside the cylinder 321 and forms a sealed connection with the inner wall of the cylinder 321.

[0085] One end of the rod 323 is connected to the piston 322, and the other end is connected to the drive block 31.

[0086] Thus, one end of the rod 323 is connected to the piston 322, and the other end is connected to the drive block 31. This design ensures that when medical personnel slide the drive block 31, they can efficiently transmit force to the piston 322, thereby driving the piston 322 to move within the cylinder 321. This direct energy transfer method reduces energy loss and improves the efficiency and accuracy of adjusting the tilt angle of the reflector 23. A sealed connection is formed between the piston 322 and the inner wall of the cylinder 321, which effectively prevents gas leakage within the cylinder 321. This not only ensures that the inflation tube 11 can stably provide the required gas pressure to the telescopic airbag 24, but also improves the reliability and durability of the entire system.

[0087] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting groove 12 has guide grooves 121 on both the left and right sides of the groove, the guide grooves 121 extend along the length of the mounting groove 12, and the driving block 31 has guide blocks 311 on both the left and right sides, the guide blocks 311 being slidably disposed in the guide grooves 121.

[0088] Thus, the cooperative design of the guide groove 121 and the guide block 311 provides a stable and precise sliding path for the drive block 31. This ensures that the drive block 31 will not deviate from the predetermined track during sliding, thereby avoiding a decrease in adjustment accuracy due to shaking or misalignment. It also serves for the installation of the drive block 31.

[0089] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, each of the drive blocks 31 is further connected to a push block 33, which is disposed on the outer surface of the handle 10 and is used to push the drive block 31 to move.

[0090] Thus, by directly pushing the pusher block 33, medical staff can more quickly move the drive block 31 to inflate or de-inflate the telescopic airbag 24. This design improves the efficiency of adjusting the tilt angle of the reflector 23, allowing medical staff to complete the required adjustments in a shorter time. Of course, the design of the pusher block 33 typically takes ergonomic principles into account, ensuring its shape, size, and position are more in line with the operating habits of medical staff. This helps reduce fatigue during operation, improving comfort and sustainability.

[0091] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the driving block 31 and the pushing block 33 are rotatably connected, and a torsion spring is provided at the connection. The front end of the pushing block 33 is provided with a retaining part 331, which extends downward.

[0092] The mounting slot 12 has a first slot 122 at its rear end. When the push block 33 is at the rear end of the mounting slot 12, the holding part 331 is inserted into the first slot 122.

[0093] The mounting groove 12 has a second slot 123 at its front end. When the retaining part 331 is at the front end of the mounting groove 12, the retaining part 331 is inserted into the second slot 123. At this time, the telescopic airbag 24 is in the extended state.

[0094] Thus, when the push block 33 is moved to the rear or front end of the mounting slot 12, the retaining part 331 will insert into the first slot 122 or the second slot 123 respectively, thereby locking the position of the drive block 31. This design ensures that the drive block 31 remains stable after adjustment and will not move due to accidental contact, improving the stability and reliability of the use of the oral endoscope. Medical personnel can simply push the push block 33 and make it snap into the corresponding slot to lock and release the drive block 31. This operation method is simple, intuitive, and easy to master, reducing the difficulty and complexity of operation. Of course, preferably, multiple corresponding slots can also be provided between the first slot 122 and the second slot 123, so that the drive block 31 can be fixed in multiple positions, allowing the reflector 23 to be adjusted and fixed more precisely.

[0095] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, a return spring 25 is sleeved on the outside of each telescopic airbag 24, and the return spring 25 is connected between the reflector 23 and the bottom surface of the receiving groove 21.

[0096] Thus, when an external force is applied to the reflector 23, causing it to tilt, the telescopic airbag 24 will compress or extend accordingly, and the return spring 25 will also deform. Once the external force disappears, the return spring 25 will use its elasticity to push the telescopic airbag 24 and the reflector 23 back to their initial positions, thereby achieving an automatic adjustment function. This design simplifies the operation process and improves efficiency. The elasticity of the return spring 25 can be adjusted as needed to ensure that the reflector 23 can accurately return to its initial position. This design ensures the stability and accuracy of the reflector 23 during use, avoiding the problem of inaccurate tilt angle affecting the observation effect.

[0097] Preferably, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reflector 23 has a boss 231 in the middle of the back side, the surface of the boss 231 has a spherical groove 232, the end of the connector 22 has a spherical part 221, and the spherical part 221 is slidably connected to the spherical groove 232.

[0098] Thus, the cooperation between the spherical groove 232 and the spherical part 221 allows the reflector 23 to be tilted with multiple degrees of freedom within a certain range. This design allows medical personnel to flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the reflector 23 according to actual needs to obtain the best field of view.

[0099] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, a lamp 13 is provided in the middle of the handle 10, and the light emitting direction of the lamp 13 is towards the reflector 23.

[0100] Thus, the introduction of the lighting lamp 13 directly enhances the brightness of the area illuminated by the reflector 23, allowing medical staff to observe details within the oral cavity more clearly. This is crucial for diagnostic and treatment processes, helping to improve the accuracy and efficiency of medical procedures. The design of the lighting lamp 13 eliminates the need for medical staff to carry additional lighting equipment during operation, simplifying the process. Simultaneously, the combination of the lighting lamp 13 and the reflector 23 results in more concentrated light, reducing glare and shadow interference, and improving the comfort and convenience of the procedure. The light from the lighting lamp 13 illuminates the area reflected by the reflector 23, helping medical staff better perceive the spatial structure within the oral cavity. This is particularly important for complex dental treatment procedures, helping medical staff to make more accurate judgments and perform procedures more effectively.

[0101] Of course, as a preferred option, a battery compartment can also be provided at the end of the handle 10 to install a storage battery for powering the lighting lamp 13. The storage battery is a button battery or the like.
