Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of teeth cleaning technology, specifically to a facial protection device for teeth cleaning. Background Technology
[0002] Air polishing uses pearl salt and high-pressure water to further clean teeth. While ultrasonic scaling can only remove large pieces of tartar, air polishing can effectively remove tea stains, tobacco stains, and soft food deposits attached to teeth. Teeth polished with air polish are very clean and less prone to tartar buildup. Therefore, scaling and air polishing should be combined. Air polishing is widely known for its excellent cleaning effect. However, during the scaling process, pearl salt and water droplets can splash onto the patient's head and eyes. To avoid affecting the patient, a disposable face towel is usually used to cover the upper part of the patient's face. Although this method can prevent the patient from being affected by the scaling, it can cause great discomfort. Covering the patient's eyes with a face towel can make the patient feel uneasy, and the face towel is prone to slipping during the scaling process, making it less practical.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN215075686U, which discloses a protective mask for air-blasting teeth cleaning. In this patent, an adapter port and an eyepiece port are provided on the mask body. The adapter port is used to insert the teeth cleaning device into the patient's mouth. The transparent lens inside the eyepiece port can prevent the patient's eyes from being blocked and causing discomfort. A pad is provided under the mask body to prevent pearl salt and water droplets from splashing onto the patient's neck during teeth cleaning and causing discomfort. At the same time, multiple fixing straps are provided on the outside of the mask body. The fixing straps are made of elastic material and have a limit block at one end. The limit block cooperates with the fixing block to fix the mask body to the patient's face from multiple angles and prevent the mask body from slipping and causing problems.
[0004] However, when using the above-mentioned device, because patients have different facial shapes and sizes, the fixed eyepiece and adapter structure of the device are very likely to be unsuitable for the patient's face, which will cause discomfort during the teeth cleaning process and affect the teeth cleaning experience. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model proposes a facial protection device for teeth cleaning, which has the advantages of effectively conforming to the faces of different people undergoing teeth cleaning, improving the facial comfort of the people undergoing teeth cleaning, and solving the problem of not being able to effectively conform to the faces of different people undergoing teeth cleaning, resulting in facial discomfort and affecting the teeth cleaning experience.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A facial protection device for teeth cleaning includes a strip frame, a strip groove in the middle of the strip frame, a transparent plate fixedly installed on the front side of the inner cavity of the strip groove, elastic bands fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the strip frame, Velcro fixedly installed on the other side of the elastic bands, a slot in the bottom right side of the strip frame, a face mask detachably installed at the bottom of the strip frame, an insert fixedly installed on the top of the face mask, a groove in the back side of the face mask, a frame fixedly installed on the front edge of the face mask, a mouth frame fixedly installed in the middle of the face mask, an arc-shaped edge in the inner cavity sidewall of the mouth frame, a sealing strip fixedly installed on the back side of the mouth frame, a collection frame fixedly installed at the bottom of the face mask, and a connecting block fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection frame.

The combined length of the left and right elastic bands after stretching is greater than the head circumference of an average person, and the combined length of the left and right elastic bands before stretching is less than the head circumference of an average person. Therefore, when in use, after the strip frame is attached to the face of the person to be cleaned, the left and right elastic bands are stretched so that the left and right Velcro straps overlap and glue together, thereby fixing the strip frame to the face of the person to be cleaned.
[0008] Preferably, the length and width of the inner cavity of the strip groove are both greater than the length and width of the left and right eye area of ordinary people. The transparent plate is constructed of transparent material, and the strip frame is constructed of synthetic rubber material. Thus, when in use, the synthetic rubber material of the strip frame and its own length and shape allow the strip frame to be slightly rotated to completely cover and fit the area around the eyes of the person getting their teeth cleaned.
[0009] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the insert is matched with the cross-sectional shape of the slot cavity, and the slot is opened to the middle position of the strip frame, so that when in use, the shape of the insert can be used to insert it into the slot cavity, thereby connecting the strip frame and the mask.
[0010] Preferably, the shape of the frame matches the shape of the outer surface edge of the mask, and the top opening of the collection frame is connected to the front surface of the mask, so that when in use, after the water splashed during teeth cleaning splashes onto the mask and the outer surface of the strip frame, the water on the front surface of the mask flows downward into the inner cavity of the collection frame due to the frame.
[0011] Preferably, the arc of the curved edge extends through the rear and front sides of the inner cavity of the mouth frame, so that when the mask is in use, after it fits the face of the person being cleaned, the water used during the cleaning can flow along the mask through the curved edge, thereby avoiding water accumulation in the inner cavity of the mouth frame and causing discomfort to the person being cleaned.
[0012] Preferably, the sealing strip is fixedly installed on the back of the strip frame, mouth frame and mask. The sealing strip is made of sponge material, so that when in use, the sealing strip can effectively fit the strip frame, mask and mouth frame to the face of the person being cleaned, thereby protecting the person's eyes and exposing the mouth.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting block has a through hole in the middle, and the middle of the connecting block communicates with the inner cavity of the collection frame. The outer surface of the connecting block has a thread, so that when in use, the collection frame can be assembled with other connecting pipes through the connecting block, thereby collecting the dental cleaning wastewater collected in the inner cavity of the collection frame to the wastewater collection point, avoiding the wastewater from wetting the clothes of the person getting their teeth cleaned.
[0014] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This facial protection device for teeth cleaning uses a mask structure and a sealing strip structure in combination. During operation, first select a mask of appropriate size, then use the sealing strip to seamlessly fit the assembled mask and strip frame to the face of the person being cleaned. Finally, use Velcro and elastic band to fix it in place. During formal use, a transparent plate protects the eyes of the person being cleaned, and the curved edges and frame can guide water splashed onto the surface of the mask to the inner cavity of the collection frame, preventing splashed water from affecting the facial sensation of the person being cleaned. This achieves the effect of effectively fitting the face of different people being cleaned, improving the facial comfort of the person being cleaned. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, a facial protection device for teeth cleaning includes a strip frame 1 with a strip groove 2 in the middle. A transparent plate 3 is fixedly installed on the front side of the inner cavity of the strip groove 2. The length and width of the inner cavity of the strip groove 2 are both larger than the length and width of the left and right eye area of an average person. The transparent plate 3 is made of transparent material, and the strip frame 1 is made of synthetic rubber. Therefore, when in use, the synthetic rubber material and the length and shape of the strip frame 1 allow it to be slightly rotated to completely cover and fit the area around the eyes of the person undergoing teeth cleaning. Elastic bands 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the strip frame 1, and Velcro 5 is fixedly installed on the other side of the elastic bands 4. The elastic bands 4 are made of elastic material, and the left and right Velcro 5 can be glued together. The combined length of the left and right elastic bands 4 after stretching is greater than... The length of the left and right elastic bands 4 after stretching is smaller than the average person's head circumference. Therefore, when in use, after the strip frame 1 is placed against the face of the person being cleaned, stretching the left and right elastic bands 4 causes the left and right Velcro 5 to overlap and adhere together, thus fixing the strip frame 1 to the face. A slot 6 is provided on the bottom right side of the strip frame 1, and a face mask 7 is detachably installed at the bottom of the strip frame 1. An insert 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the face mask 7. The cross-sectional shape of the insert 8 matches the cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of the slot 6. The slot 6 is located at the middle of the strip frame 1, so that when in use, the shape of the insert 8 allows it to be inserted into the inner cavity of the slot 6, thus connecting the strip frame 1 and the face mask 7. A groove 9 is provided on the back side of the face mask 7, and the front edge of the face mask 7 is fixedly installed... The mask 7 is equipped with a frame 10, and a mouth frame 11 is fixedly installed in the middle. An arc-shaped edge 12 is provided on the inner wall of the mouth frame 11. The arc of the arc-shaped edge 12 extends through the rear and front sides of the inner cavity of the mouth frame 11. Therefore, when the mask 7 is in use, after fitting the face of the person undergoing teeth cleaning, the water used for cleaning can flow along the mask 7 through the arc-shaped edge 12, thus preventing water from accumulating in the inner cavity of the mouth frame 11 and causing discomfort to the person undergoing teeth cleaning. A sealing strip 13 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the mouth frame 11. The sealing strip 13 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the strip frame 1, the mouth frame 11, and the mask 7. The sealing strip 13 is made of sponge material, so that when in use, the sealing strip 13 allows the strip frame 1, the mask 7, and the mouth frame 11 to effectively fit the face of the person undergoing teeth cleaning, thus protecting the person's eyes and exposing the mouth. A collection frame 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mask 7. The shape of the frame 10 matches the shape of the outer edge of the mask 7. The top opening of the collection frame 14 communicates with the front surface of the mask 7. Thus, during use, when water splashes onto the mask 7 and the outer surface of the strip frame 10, the water on the front surface of the mask 7 flows downwards into the inner cavity of the collection frame 14 due to the frame 10. A connecting block 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection frame 14. A through hole is opened in the middle of the connecting block 15, and the middle of the connecting block 15 communicates with the inner cavity of the collection frame 14. The outer surface of the connecting block 15 is threaded. Thus, during use, the collection frame 14 can be assembled with other connecting pipes through the connecting block 15, thereby collecting the wastewater collected in the inner cavity of the collection frame 14 to the wastewater collection point.Avoid getting wastewater on the clothes of the person getting their teeth cleaned.
[0024] Working principle: First, select a mask 7 of appropriate size according to the size of the patient's face. After selection, insert the selected mask 7 into the cavity of the slot 6 through the insert block 8 to combine the selected mask 7 with the strip frame 1. Then, cover the patient's face with the combined strip frame 1, so that the strip frame 1 completely covers the patient's eyes and the mouth frame 11 fits the patient's mouth. After covering, manually stretch the left and right elastic bands 4 to wrap around the patient's head once until the left and right Velcro 5 overlap and stick together to fix the strip frame 1 and mask 7. Then, use the sealing strip 13 to make the strip frame 1 and mask 7 fit tightly to cover the patient's face. Finally, connect the connecting tube to the connecting block 15 through the thread.
[0025] Then, the actual use begins. When the person using the dental cleaning equipment holds the equipment to clean the teeth, the strip frame 1 and the transparent plate 3 protect the eyes of the person being cleaned. At the same time, the mask 7 prevents water from splashing onto the face of the person being cleaned, causing discomfort. Moreover, the water that splashes onto the surface of the mask 7 is carried down along the mask 7 by the frame 10 and eventually falls into the inner cavity of the collection frame 14. The wastewater generated during the dental cleaning is then automatically collected and discharged through the connecting block 15 and the connecting pipe.
[0026] After the teeth cleaning is completed, pull off the Velcro straps on the left and right sides (5) to remove the entire device. The teeth cleaning process is then finished. The same steps can then be used to clean the teeth of the next patient.
[0027] In summary, compared with similar devices, this facial protection device for teeth cleaning has the advantage of effectively conforming to the faces of different people undergoing teeth cleaning, thus improving the comfort of the person undergoing the cleaning process.
[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
