Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontic medical technology, specifically to a detachable and thoroughly sterilizable orthodontic forceps. Background Technology

[0002] During the fine-tuning phase of orthodontic treatment, it is often necessary to add vertical or horizontal step bends to one or more teeth to achieve good occlusion and alignment. Currently, the commonly used adjustment method is as follows: First, remove the ligature loops (wires), mark the stainless steel archwire of the target tooth inside the mouth with a marker, then remove the archwire, bend the corresponding step outside the mouth using wire bending pliers, finally place the archwire into the groove, and re-ligate and fix it.

[0003] However, these procedures are quite complicated, requiring orthodontists to use fine wire bending forceps outside the mouth to bend the steps. However, most orthodontic forceps on the market are single-piece bolt-fixed structures, with the male and female handles not detachable. After prolonged use, the joints of these single-piece forceps easily accumulate dirt and grime, making thorough cleaning and disinfection difficult and increasing the risk of cross-infection for patients due to incomplete sterilization.

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figure 1-7 As shown:

[0026] In this embodiment, a detachable and thoroughly sterilizable orthodontic forceps includes a main body. The main body includes a male forceps 1 and a female forceps 2 that are cross-assembled and connected. The male forceps 1 and the female forceps 2 are hinged and rotatable. The male forceps 1 includes a first forceps head 11, a female forceps connector 3, and a male forceps handle 13 arranged in sequence. The female forceps connector 3 has a vertically protruding main pin 4 on the side where it connects to the female forceps 2. The first forceps head 11 and the male forceps handle 13 have arc-shaped contact surfaces 9 near the end of the female forceps connector 3, and arc-shaped contact surfaces 10 at both ends of the female forceps connector 3. The female forceps 2 includes a second forceps head 12, a male head connector 5, and a female forceps handle 14 arranged in sequence. The male head connector 5 has a connecting hole 6, and the main pin 4 is inserted into the connecting hole 6. Through the combination of the main pin 4 and the connecting hole 6, the main pin 4 rotates within the connecting hole 6, realizing the connection between the male forceps 1 and the female forceps 2. The female pliers 2 are described below. The second pliers head 12 and the female pliers handle 14 are respectively provided with arc-shaped mounting grooves 7 near the male connector 5. The female pliers connector 3 is engaged within the arc-shaped mounting groove 7. Simultaneously, the second arc-shaped contact surface 10 is located within the arc-shaped mounting groove 7 and slidably connected to it. The female pliers connector 3 is not fixedly installed within the arc-shaped mounting groove 7. When it is necessary to disassemble the male pliers 1 and the female pliers 2, the male pliers 1 or the female pliers 2 is rotated, forming a 60° angle between them. The second arc-shaped contact surface 10 disengages from the arc-shaped mounting groove 7, allowing for disassembly. This enables independent disassembly and cleaning of the male pliers 1 and the female pliers 2. The male connector 5 has arc-shaped contact surfaces 8 at both ends. The arc-shaped contact surfaces 8 have the same curvature as the first arc-shaped contact surface 9. During use, the third arc-shaped contact surface 8 slides within the first arc-shaped contact surface 9.

[0027] It should be noted that the male forceps 1 is a one-piece molded structure, and the female forceps 2 is a one-piece molded structure. The male forceps 1 and the female forceps 2 are two independent and assembleable parts. When assembled together, they can be used as orthodontic forceps. When disassembled into two independent parts, they are easy to clean and disinfect.

[0028] It should be noted that the arc-shaped contact surface 9 on the pliers head 11 and the arc-shaped contact surface 9 on the male pliers handle 13 are diagonally distributed, and the two arc-shaped contact surfaces 9 are respectively in contact with the two arc-shaped contact surfaces 8 in a non-fixed connection.

[0029] It should be noted that the second arc-shaped contact surface 10 abuts against the groove surface of the arc-shaped mounting groove 7, and the curvature of the second arc-shaped contact surface 10 is consistent with the curvature of the groove surface of the arc-shaped mounting groove 7. The third arc-shaped contact surface 8 abuts against the first arc-shaped contact surface 9, and the curvature of the third arc-shaped contact surface 8 is consistent with that of the first arc-shaped contact surface 9. Through the combination of the second arc-shaped contact surface 10, the arc-shaped mounting groove 7, the first arc-shaped contact surface 9, and the third arc-shaped contact surface 8, the male clamp 1 and the female clamp 2 can be rotatably connected and disassembled.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] During installation, the main pin 4 is inserted into the connecting hole 6 and rotated, causing the female clamp connector 3 to engage in the arc-shaped mounting groove 7. The arc-shaped contact surface 3 8 and the arc-shaped contact surface 1 9 are connected in an abutting manner. During use, the main pin 4 rotates in the connecting hole 6, and the arc-shaped contact surface 3 8 rotates and slides in the arc-shaped contact surface 1 9, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the male clamp 1 and the female clamp 2 to meet the usage requirements of orthodontic clamps. After use, the male clamp 1 or the female clamp 2 is rotated so that a 60° angle is formed between the male clamp 1 and the female clamp 2. At the same time, the arc-shaped contact surface 2 10 disengages from the arc-shaped mounting groove 7, allowing the male clamp 1 and the female clamp 2 to be disassembled and separated. This facilitates the cleaning and disinfection of the male clamp 1 and the female clamp 2 without the need for other tools, and has the advantages of simple and convenient operation.
