Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies, specifically an anti-tongue biting device for epilepsy. Background Technology

[0002] Epilepsy, commonly known as "seizures" or "epilepsy," is a chronic disease caused by sudden abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to temporary brain dysfunction. The causes of epilepsy are complex and diverse, including genetic factors, brain diseases, and systemic diseases. The pathogenesis of epilepsy is very complex. An imbalance between excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system leads to epileptic seizures, primarily related to changes in ion channels, neurotransmitters, and glial cells. Due to differences in the initiation site and transmission mode of abnormal discharges, the clinical manifestations of epileptic seizures are complex and diverse, and can manifest as paroxysmal motor, sensory, autonomic, consciousness, and mental disturbances. When a patient has a seizure, they may bite their tongue; therefore, medical personnel need to immediately insert a tongue debitor into the patient's mouth to prevent the patient from clenching their teeth and biting their tongue.

[0003] For example, utility model publication (announcement number): CN219501203U discloses a multifunctional portable anti-tongue-biting device for epilepsy patients, including an upper support assembly, a lower support assembly, an adjusting member, and a limiting member. The upper support assembly includes an upper support member and an upper connecting plate, the upper support member being connected to the upper connecting plate for supporting the upper teeth; the lower support assembly includes a lower support member and a lower connecting plate, the lower support member being connected to the lower connecting plate for supporting the lower teeth, and the lower connecting plate being rotatably connected to the upper connecting plate; the adjusting member is rotatably disposed between the upper and lower connecting plates, and can move from a direction away from the upper and lower support members to a direction closer to the upper and lower support members, thereby driving the upper and lower support members away from each other; the limiting member is disposed on the lower connecting plate for fixing the adjusting member. The multifunctional portable anti-tongue-biting device for epilepsy patients provided by this utility model has a simple structure, is easy to use, can effectively prevent epilepsy patients from biting their tongue, and can also adjust the oral cavity expansion angle and perform mouth-opening training, which is beneficial for use.

[0004] The structure of the above-mentioned utility model can effectively prevent epilepsy patients from biting their tongue and can also adjust the oral cavity expansion angle. However, the support component used to fix the user's oral cavity in the above-mentioned utility model cannot be disassembled, making it inconvenient to clean and disinfect after use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-tongue biting device for epilepsy, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an epilepsy anti-tongue biting device, comprising a fixing block, wherein an upper support component and a lower support component are symmetrically arranged on one side of the fixing block in the horizontal direction, and insert plates are respectively fixedly connected to the upper support component and the lower support component near the fixing block. The insert plates of the upper support component and the lower support component are respectively inserted into one end of the fixing block near the fixing block. L-shaped positioning plates are symmetrically fixed at the top and bottom of the fixing block. Each L-shaped positioning plate is respectively installed with an installation component on the side near the upper support component and the lower support component, and each insert plate is respectively opened with a limiting hole in the vertical direction to be inserted into one end of the installation component.

[0007] Preferably, the upper support assembly and the lower support assembly each include an arc-shaped support block, and each support block is provided with a support slot on one side.

[0008] Preferably, each of the support blocks has a connecting plate fixedly connected to one end, and an insert plate fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate away from the support block.

[0009] Preferably, each of the insert plates has several limiting holes extending through it in the vertical direction.

[0010] Preferably, each of the L-shaped positioning plates has an L-shaped cross-section, and each mounting component includes several insert rods that are inserted and engaged with the limiting holes.

[0011] Preferably, the top and bottom of the fixing block are respectively provided with several through holes that are adapted to the sliding of the insertion rod, and the top of each insertion rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of pull rods are fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate, and each pull rod is slidably connected to the L-shaped positioning plate in the vertical direction. The top of each pull rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the handle, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of each pull rod. The two ends of each spring are fixedly connected to the bottom of the L-shaped positioning plate and the top of the movable plate, respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention places the upper and lower support components into the user's mouth, and the support slots of the upper and lower support components are respectively engaged and fixed with the user's upper and lower teeth, thereby preventing the user from biting their tongue. One end of the upper and lower support components is inserted into the fixing block through the insert plate, and is limited and fixed by the corresponding installation components. Therefore, when the upper and lower support components need to be cleaned after use, the handle is pulled away from the fixing block, which causes the handle to move multiple pull rods, and the multiple pull rods to move the moving plate, so that the multiple insert rods are pulled out from the limiting holes of the corresponding insert plate, and the upper and lower support components can be disassembled, which facilitates the cleaning and disinfection of the upper and lower support components.
