[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] Example 1: This Example 1 provides a detachable pallet opener, which is a direct improvement on existing openers and has a unique structure. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-8As shown, the device includes a mouth-opening pliers and a jaw tray 18. The mouth-opening pliers include a connecting plate 1, L-shaped plier heads 3 hinged to both ends of the bottom of the connecting plate 1, and a driving device that drives the L-shaped plier heads 3 to move away from each other along their respective hinge points. There are various ways to hinge the connecting plate 1 and the L-shaped plier heads 3. The connecting plate 1 is U-shaped. The middle of both ends of the connecting plate 1 has a mounting groove 15. The middle of the mounting groove 15 has a threaded hole that passes through the front and rear side walls of the mounting groove 15. A screw 17 is installed in the threaded hole. A connecting ring 16 is threaded onto the screw 17 in the mounting groove 15. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting ring 16. The lower end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped plier head 3. The connecting plate 1 and the L-shaped plier head 3 are assembled by the screw 17, which facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the mouth-opening pliers.
[0026] The driving device includes a driving box 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting plate 1, and a driving structure disposed within the driving box 2. A through hole penetrating the connecting plate 1 is vertically opened at the bottom center of the driving box 2. The driving structure includes a screw barrel 8 and a bevel gear II 12 rotatably mounted within the driving box 2, a bevel gear I 11 fixedly fitted outside the screw barrel 8, a screw rod 9 threadedly fitted within the screw barrel 8, and a driving assembly for driving the bevel gear II 12 to rotate. The bevel gear I 11 meshes with the bevel gear II 12. The screw rod 9 is concentrically positioned with the through hole of the connecting plate 1, with its lower end extending into the through hole and its upper end having a vertically opening limit groove. A limit rod 10 is vertically slidably mounted within the limit groove. The upper end of the limit rod 10 is fixedly connected to the driving box 2. The limit rod 10 is a hexagonal prism, and the limit groove is adapted to the limit rod 10, thus allowing the screw rod 9 to move only vertically up and down. The driving assembly includes a driving shaft 13 rotatably mounted within the driving box 2, and a bevel gear II 12. The fixed assembly is mounted on the drive shaft 13. One end of the drive shaft 13 passes through the drive housing 2 and is fixedly mounted on the drive plate 14. A fixing ring 7 is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom surface of the drive housing 2. The screw cylinder 8 is rotatably mounted in the fixing ring 7 through a bearing.
[0027] The dental tray 18 includes a front dental tray and a rear dental tray, both available in small, medium, and large sizes. Each tray includes an upper and lower dental tray. Silicone pads are located on the sides of the dental trays that are furthest from each other. U-shaped retainers 19 are fitted onto adjacent surfaces of the dental trays. A horizontal through-slot is formed in the center of each dental tray, and a through-hole communicating with the corresponding through-slot is formed at the center of adjacent surfaces. The through-slot and through-hole together form a T-slot. An L-shaped plate 6 is symmetrically arranged within each T-slot, and a spring 22 is placed between the L-shaped plates 6. Arc-shaped notches are formed on the sides of the through-slots facing the U-shaped retainers 19. The upper end of the L-shaped plate 6 extends into the corresponding arc-shaped notch and is fixedly installed with an arc-shaped plate 23. A retaining block 20 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the L-shaped plate 6. A T-shaped slot 21 for inserting the retaining block 20 is formed in the upper part of the U-shaped retainer 19. A ball bearing 5 is embedded in the groove at the lower part of the U-shaped retainer 19. One end of each is fixedly equipped with a connecting rod 4, and the other end of the connecting rod 4 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the L-shaped pliers 3, and the connecting rod 4 is parallel to the corresponding L-shaped pliers 3.
[0028] Working principle: When medical staff use this mouth opener to open the patient's mouth, they first select a suitable dental tray 18, then align the locking block 20 with the T-shaped slot 21 and press down to lock the locking block 20 into the T-shaped slot 21; then, they insert the mouth opener into the patient's mouth so that the patient's upper and lower teeth contact the dental tray respectively. At this time, the drive plate 14 is rotated, and the drive plate 14 drives the bevel gear II 12 to rotate through the drive shaft 13. After the bevel gear II 12 rotates, it interacts with the bevel gear I 11. The meshing transmission drives the screw barrel 8 to rotate. Since the middle of the screw 9 has a vertically opening limit groove, the limit rod 10 is slidably fitted in the limit groove, and the upper end of the limit rod 10 is fixedly connected to the drive box 2. In addition, the screw 9 can only slide vertically up and down. Therefore, when the screw barrel 8 rotates, the screw barrel 8 and the screw 9 rotate relative to each other, thereby driving the screw 9 to move downward through the threaded connection and push the L-shaped pliers 3, so that the tail ends of the L-shaped pliers 3 move away from each other, thereby opening the patient's mouth. Moreover, since the ball bearing 5 is embedded in the U-shaped card seat 19, the angle between the opening forceps and the dental tray 18 in the horizontal and vertical directions can be adjusted. After the patient's oral examination is completed, the L-shaped plate 6 is pressed to bring them closer together. At this time, the card block 20 can be disengaged from the T-shaped card slot 21, thereby facilitating the replacement of the dental tray 18.
[0029] Example 2: The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is as follows: Figure 9As shown, a limiting groove is vertically formed inside the screw 9. The upper end of the limiting groove is sealed and the lower end is open. A limiting block is slidably fitted inside the limiting groove. The limiting block is a hexagonal block. The limiting groove and the limiting block are adapted to each other. A limiting rod 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting block. A through hole is formed on the inner top surface of the limiting groove. The upper end of the limiting rod 10 extends out of the limiting groove through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the drive box 2. In this way, the screw 9 is prevented from separating from the screw barrel 8 when it moves downward.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will be able to make various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
