[0031] This invention achieves sliding positioning of the tongue stop 2 on the U-shaped support body 1 through the cooperation of the sliding guide rail 5 and the base 4, enabling the tongue stop 2 to be positioned at different positions of the tongue. Combined with the adjustment component 3, the angle and extension length of the tongue stop 2 can be precisely adjusted, allowing the tongue stop 2 to dynamically conform to the physiological curve of the tongue dorsum of different patients, avoiding local pressure concentration. The U-shaped support can also adjust the opening degree according to the different positions of the base 4 on the sliding guide rail 5.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support body 1 is provided with an upper occlusal pad 11, a lower occlusal pad 12, and an elastic connecting block 14. The upper occlusal pad 11, the lower occlusal pad 12, and the elastic connecting block 14 are integrally fixedly connected. The upper occlusal pad 11 is hinged to the lower occlusal pad 12 through the elastic connecting block 14. In this embodiment, the upper occlusal pad 11 and the lower occlusal pad 12 are flexibly hinged through the elastic connecting block 14, which can adaptively adjust the opening angle within a range, avoiding excessive pressure on the teeth by the frame, while maintaining stable support. The elastic connecting block 14 and the sliding guide rail 5, while realizing tongue block adjustment, compensate for occlusal relaxation caused by patient mouth opening fatigue through the elastic feedback force of the hinge structure.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, occlusal grooves are provided on the occlusal surfaces of the upper occlusal pad 11 and the lower occlusal pad 12, and anti-slip grooves are provided at the positions of the occlusal grooves that mate with the upper and lower teeth. In this embodiment, the occlusal grooves can position the upper and lower gums, and the anti-slip grooves can increase the friction with the teeth and reduce slippage.

Further, a slider 42 is disposed at the bottom of the base 4, the slider 42 is integrally fixedly connected to the base 4, and the slider 42 is also disposed within the sliding guide rail 5. The base 4 is slidably connected to the sliding guide rail 5 via the slider 42. In this embodiment, the slider 42 and the sliding guide rail 5 are fitted with a dovetail groove, which can resist the lateral force generated by tongue movement during treatment. The guide rail extends along the upper side of the lower occlusal pad 12, allowing adjustment of the slider 42's sliding within the support to adjust the area where the tongue stop 2 blocks the tongue.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the upper occlusal pad 11 has a first toothed surface 13 on the side facing the lower occlusal pad 12, and the base 4 has a second toothed surface 41 on the side facing the upper occlusal pad 11. The base 4 is engaged with the upper occlusal pad 11 via the first toothed surface 13 and the second toothed surface 41.

One end of the adjusting rod 35 is threadedly engaged with the telescopic rod 34, and the other end of the adjusting rod 35 is provided with an adjusting handle. In this embodiment, the adjusting rod 35 and the telescopic rod 34 are threadedly engaged. By rotating the adjusting rod 35, the telescopic rod 34 is driven to extend and retract, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the adjusting tongue stop 2. The thread between the adjusting rod 35 and the telescopic rod 34 can be provided with a threaded rod at one end of the telescopic rod 34 and a threaded hole at one end of the adjusting rod 35.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner circumference of the sleeve 32 is smoothly disposed, and a retaining plate is disposed at one end of the sleeve 32 near the tongue stop 2. The retaining plate is fixedly connected to the sleeve 32, and a retaining hole is disposed in the middle of the retaining plate. A first retaining part is disposed in the retaining hole along the circumferential direction, and a second retaining part is disposed in the retaining direction of the connecting rod 31.
