Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mouth opener technology, specifically relating to a mouth opener designed to prevent accidental swallowing. Background Technology

[0002] Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit prominent oral hypersensitivity during dental treatment. These children often show extreme resistance to dental instruments, with nearly half of the cases showing strong avoidance reactions, such as sudden mouth closure, head turning, or defensive behaviors like limb struggle. This clinical characteristic makes the use of traditional mouth openers a serious safety hazard—the risk of the instrument falling off and being swallowed is 3-5 times higher than that of ordinary children when the child makes a sudden movement.

[0003] Currently, most traditional mouth openers used in clinical practice are made of rigid plastic or metal. While they provide necessary mechanical support, they have significant functional defects in practical applications. These devices generally lack reliable anti-dislodgement mechanisms, and when a child makes a sudden movement, the device is prone to displacement or even slipping into the esophagus. To address this risk, medical staff usually use a temporary solution: tying sterile cotton rope to the mouth opener as an emergency measure to prevent accidental swallowing. However, this method has significant drawbacks: firstly, the cotton rope cannot withstand standard sterilization procedures, making it difficult to reuse and posing a risk of cross-infection; secondly, the procedure of re-tying the rope before each use not only increases the workload of medical staff but also affects the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment in emergencies, failing to meet the needs of rapid clinical response.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an anti-swallowing mouth opener to address the aforementioned technical issues.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an anti-swallowing mouth opener in one embodiment of the present invention includes a mouth opener body 1, which is U-shaped. A round hole is provided in the center of the mouth opener body 1. Anti-slip texture is provided on the mouth opener body 1. Support bars 7 are fixedly connected to the mouth opener body 1. Four support bars 7 are provided. U-shaped springs 8 are embedded and installed inside the mouth opener body 1. The U-shaped springs 8 are made of 304 stainless steel.

[0029] Specifically, the U-shaped structure of the mouth opener body 1, combined with the central circular hole, forms an ergonomic support frame. The four support bars 7 are radially distributed to enhance structural rigidity. The internally embedded 304 stainless steel U-shaped spring 8 provides continuous and stable support. The medical-grade silicone layer covering the outer layer ensures biocompatibility and avoids discomfort caused by direct metal contact. The anti-slip texture design on the surface of the mouth opener body 1 maintains excellent anti-slip performance even in humid environments.

[0030] Two elastic connecting rods 2 are fixedly connected to the main body 1 of the mouth opener. Both elastic connecting rods 2 are arc-shaped and have a gradually changing diameter design, with the diameter gradually transitioning from the proximal end to the distal end. This design ensures structural strength while providing flexible buffering characteristics. A connecting plate 3 is detachably installed on the elastic connecting rod 2. The connecting plate 3 has an opening 301 that matches the elastic connecting rod 2. Both elastic connecting rods 2 are inserted into the opening 301 on the connecting plate 3. Limiting balls 201 are fixedly connected to both elastic connecting rods 2. The outer diameter of both limiting balls 201 is larger than that of the opening 301. The size difference between the limiting balls 201 and the opening 301 forms a reliable mechanical stop. During disassembly, only a certain lateral force needs to be applied to achieve rapid separation. The U-shaped structure design of the connecting plate 3 makes the force distribution more uniform.

[0031] A connecting strap 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3. A protective sleeve is provided on the connecting strap 4, which is fitted over the outside of the connecting plate 3. The connecting strap 4 can be made of 3mm thick medical-grade silicone.

[0032] The protective cover includes a movable sleeve 5, which has a through hole. The movable sleeve 5 is slidably connected to the connecting strap 4 through the through hole. The movable sleeve 5 adopts a sliding design and can be flipped outwards to facilitate cleaning and disinfection of its interior.

[0033] The protective sleeve can also be a fixing sleeve 6, which is fixedly connected to the connecting strap 4. The fixed installation method can prevent it from shifting during use and make it convenient to use.

[0034] In use, the mouth opener body 1 is supported in the patient's oral cavity by its U-shaped structure. The built-in 304 stainless steel U-shaped spring 8 provides elastic support to keep the mouth opener in a stable open state. Two arc-shaped elastic connecting rods 2 extend upward from the mouth opener body 1 and pass through the opening 301 of the connecting plate 3. They are detachably fixed by the mechanical limiting action of the limiting ball 201. The connecting strap 4 is led out through the connecting plate and can be placed directly or fixed to the outside. It is a protective measure to prevent accidental swallowing. The anti-slip texture on the surface of the mouth opener body 1 can prevent slippage during operation, thereby achieving safe and stable oral opening operation and effectively preventing accidental swallowing. The device adopts an all-silicone design, which can be easily sterilized.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
