Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral treatment aids, specifically an adjustable saliva suction device for oral treatment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of oral treatment, saliva suction devices are indispensable equipment. Their main function is to promptly remove saliva, blood, rinsing fluid, etc., from the mouth during treatment, providing the dentist with a clear operating field of vision and ensuring the smooth progress of the treatment. However, the traditional saliva suction devices widely used in clinical practice currently have many significant limitations, seriously affecting the effectiveness and efficiency of oral treatment, specifically as follows:

[0003] Traditional saliva suction devices mostly employ a fixed structural design, with the suction head positioned and angled in a relatively fixed manner. This makes it difficult to precisely adjust them according to the different oral shapes, sizes, and specific treatment locations of individual patients. Each patient's oral condition is different; for example, children have smaller mouths, and elderly people have altered oral structures due to tooth loss. Fixed saliva suction devices cannot adapt to these diverse oral conditions. During treatment, doctors often need to constantly adjust their posture and techniques to coordinate with the device, which not only increases the doctor's physical exertion but may also affect the accuracy of treatment due to operational difficulties.

[0004] Traditional saliva suction devices typically use a single unit for both the suction tip and the main unit. This design presents significant drawbacks in terms of cleaning. Firstly, during dental treatment, the suction tip comes into direct contact with the patient's saliva, blood, and other bodily fluids, easily accumulating various bacteria and dirt. Because the suction tip is integrated with the main unit, it's difficult to thoroughly clean the tip, especially the inside and the connection points, where dirt can easily remain, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and increasing the risk of cross-infection. Secondly, the integrated structure prevents the suction tip from being disassembled and replaced separately. When the suction tip is damaged or worn out, the entire device needs to be replaced, increasing operating costs and wasting resources. Moreover, for dental treatment scenarios requiring frequent suction tip replacements to prevent cross-infection, the integrated structure is clearly unsuitable. Utility Model Content

[0033] Saliva Suction Head 11 Angle Adjustment: The doctor manually adjusts the angle of the saliva suction head 11 according to the patient's oral cavity shape and treatment position. Due to the rolling engagement between the bottom end of the ball head rod 9 and the groove at the top end of the ball head seat 8, the doctor can easily rotate or swing the ball head rod 9, thereby driving the quick-release seat 10 and the saliva suction head 11 to perform multi-directional angle adjustments, so that the saliva suction head 11 can better fit the operating area in the oral cavity.

[0034] Treatment Use: When the dentist begins oral treatment, pressing the start button for the miniature water pump 2 on the button panel 5 activates the pump. Under the action of the miniature water pump 2, saliva, blood, and rinsing fluid in the oral cavity are drawn through the first suction tube inside the suction head 11 into the second suction tube within the quick-release seat 10, ball head seat 8, and ball head rod 9. The fluid then flows through the inlet tube in the sliding shaft seat 603 and the outlet tube on the output side of the miniature water pump 2, finally draining into the receiving chamber 4. During treatment, the dentist can adjust the power of the miniature water pump 2 at any time via the button panel 5 according to the saliva production in the treatment area to obtain appropriate suction and ensure that the fluid in the oral cavity is removed promptly and thoroughly. Additionally, as needed, the direction and speed of the driver 601 can be controlled via the button panel 5 to move the two suction components closer together or further apart within the waist-shaped groove, adjusting them to suitable positions for suctioning different areas of the oral cavity.
