[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a dental patient-specific anti-blast face shield, including a face shield body 1. The face shield body 1 is made of a transparent material, such as lightweight transparent polycarbonate or acrylic. The lightweight material reduces the burden on the patient, while the transparent material ensures good visibility. The face shield body 1 has a frame 11 along its edge, and the inner side of the frame 11 has a soft, skin-conforming pad. The frame 11, together with the pad, facilitates comfortable wear of the entire face shield, preventing stiffness and discomfort. The pad is made of silicone or sponge material; the soft, skin-conforming pad increases patient comfort and reduces pressure on the facial skin during prolonged wear. The face shield 1 is equipped with goggles 13 at the position corresponding to the eyes, and an operation window 14 is equipped at the position corresponding to the mouth. The inner side of the operation window 14 is equipped with a ring of guards 18. A window plate 2 is provided at the operation window 14. The window plate 2 is rotatably connected to the face shield 1. A straw 4 is provided along one side of the window plate 2 on the face shield 1. The straw 4 is detachably connected to the face shield 1. Adjustable headbands 3 are connected to both sides of the face shield 1.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the face shield body 1 has symmetrical connection ports 12 on both sides of its frame 11, which facilitate the connection of the adjustable headband 3. The bottom of the face shield body 1 has a malleable mesh support 19, with a protrusion 191 at the rear end. The malleable mesh support 19 has evenly distributed ventilation holes; this structure allows the face shield body 1 to support the patient's chin, ensuring stability on the patient's face. The goggles 13 are made of anti-fog and scratch-resistant material, and the surface of the goggles 13 is coated with an anti-light-piercing film. The anti-fog and scratch-resistant material ensures that the goggles 13 remain clear over a long period, and the anti-light-piercing film effectively prevents the patient's eyes from being injured by light. The inner side of the goggles 13 has an anti-fog coating, which is either a hydrophilic coating or a conductive anti-fog coating. The anti-fog coating effectively prevents the goggles 13 from fogging up, ensuring clear vision for both the patient and the doctor. The barrier 18 is made of a transparent material that is elastic and impact-resistant. This special shape design effectively guides splashes downwards or sideways, reducing the possibility of direct splashing onto the patient's face. The elastic and impact-resistant material ensures the window remains intact when impacted by splashes, without obstructing the doctor's field of vision.

This structure ensures the suction tube 4 is firmly fixed to the face shield and will not slide or fall off during treatment.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, one side of the window panel 2 is provided with an adapter 21, and the top and bottom of the adapter 21 are provided with adapter posts 22. The adapter posts 22 are rotatably connected to the adapter groove 16. This structure facilitates the rotatable connection between the window panel 2 and the faceplate body 1. The other side of the window panel 2 is provided with a limiting pressure head 23. The limiting pressure head 23 and the limiting pressure groove 17 are provided with mutually attractive magnetic plates to ensure sufficient stability when the window panel 2 is closed. The window panel 2 is provided with a pull ring 24; the pull ring 24 facilitates the pulling of the window panel 2 and facilitates the opening and closing of the window panel 2.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the adjustable headband 3 has a binding head 31 at both ends, a binding hole 32 in the middle of the binding head 31, and a buckle on the adjustable headband 3 for adjusting the length of the adjustable headband 3.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the face shield body 1 is worn on the patient's head via the adjustable headband 3. The length of the adjustable headband 3 is adjusted to fit the patient's head circumference via the D-ring buckle 33. The silicone or sponge padding layer on the edge of the face shield body 1 fits the face to increase comfort. The goggles 13 protect the patient's eyes from light irritation, water splashes, and sandblasting powder, and the anti-fog coating prevents fogging. The doctor performs treatment through the operating window 14. The barrier 18 guides the splashes to slide off. The round tube 171 that fixes the suction tube 4 securely fixes the suction tube 4 for suctioning saliva. The malleable mesh support 19 at the chin can be shaped according to the patient's chin shape, and the ventilation holes facilitate the patient's breathing, thereby achieving the purpose of comprehensive protection and convenient treatment.

[0029] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application provides comprehensive protection for the eyes and face of dental patients through the combination of the operating window 14 and the goggles 13, effectively reducing the damage caused by splashes. The anti-shine and anti-fog coatings of the goggles 13 further enhance the protective effect and visual clarity. The edge of the operating window 14 is designed with a barrier 18, which can reduce the interference of splashes on the doctor's vision, allowing the doctor to focus more on the treatment operation. The barrier 18 can also prevent water and liquid from splashing onto the patient's face. At the same time, the structure that fixes the saliva suction tube makes the nurse's saliva suction operation more convenient and improves the overall treatment efficiency.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
