Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices and equipment, and in particular to a device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions. Background Technology

[0002] In reality, many conditions can cause seizures in children. When a child experiences seizures, their muscles are tense, and some patients may clench their jaws. To prevent tongue biting, medical staff need to insert an insulator into the patient's mouth so that the patient's teeth bite against the insulator. However, existing insulators are prone to falling out, requiring constant monitoring by medical staff and needing improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, a device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions is provided, aiming to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows: A device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions includes an insertion component, a support component, and a drive component. The support component has a through slot. One end of the drive component passes through the through slot and is connected to the insertion component. The other end of the drive component is located on the side of the support component away from the insertion component. After the insertion component is inserted between the patient's upper and lower teeth, the drive component can drive the insertion component to rotate, so that the patient's upper and lower teeth gradually separate until the support component can enter.

[0005] The aforementioned device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions also has the following features: the insertion component includes an insertion piece and a support piece; one end of the insertion piece is connected to one end of the support piece; the thickness of the insertion piece gradually increases from the end away from the support piece to the end connected to the support piece; and the width of the whole consisting of the insertion piece and the support piece gradually increases from the end away from the support component to the other end.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: the front end of the insert is thin, which makes it easy to insert between the patient's upper and lower teeth. As the insert continues to be inserted, the patient's upper and lower teeth gradually separate until the support plate enters between the patient's upper and lower teeth. At this time, the drive component drives the support plate to rotate, which makes the patient's upper and lower teeth continue to separate, allowing the support component to enter between the upper and lower teeth.

[0007] The aforementioned device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions also has the feature that the end of the insert away from the support plate is tilted downwards.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: when the support component enters between the upper and lower teeth, the drive component causes the insert to rotate to a downward tilted state, which can prevent the tongue root from falling back.

[0009] The aforementioned device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions also has the following feature: the support assembly includes a support body, and both the upper and lower sidewalls of the support body have grooves that allow the patient's teeth to enter, and the grooves are arc-shaped.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the above solution are: when the support is placed between the patient's upper and lower teeth, the patient's upper and lower teeth are just placed in the groove, which can limit the position of the teeth.

[0011] The aforementioned device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions also features the following characteristics: the drive assembly includes a drive shaft, a knob, and a positioning part; a rotating groove is provided in the support body for the drive shaft to pass through; one end of the drive shaft passes through the rotating groove and connects to the support plate; the other end of the drive shaft extends to the outside of the support body on the side away from the support plate; the drive shaft is rotatably connected to the support body; the knob is located at the other end of the drive shaft; multiple receiving grooves are provided in the rotating groove; the positioning part is located in the receiving groove; multiple positioning grooves are provided on the side wall of the drive shaft; when the support body is in an upright state and the support plate is in a horizontal state, the positioning groove is directly opposite the receiving groove; when the support body is in an upright state and the support plate is in a vertical state, the positioning groove is also directly opposite the receiving groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the above solution are as follows: rotating the knob drives the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the support plate and the insertion plate to rotate. When the positioning part is aligned with the positioning groove, it can be determined that the insertion plate and the support plate are in a horizontal or vertical state.

[0013] The aforementioned device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions also has the following features: the positioning part includes an elastic element and a positioning wedge; one end of the elastic element is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to one end of the positioning wedge; the other end of the positioning wedge is configured as an arc-shaped surface, and the positioning groove is configured as an arc-shaped groove; when the positioning groove is directly opposite the receiving groove, the elastic element drives the arc-shaped end of the positioning wedge to enter the positioning groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: When the drive shaft rotates, the positioning groove squeezes the arc end of the positioning wedge, causing it to retract into the receiving groove and squeeze the elastic element. When the positioning groove aligns with the next receiving groove, the elastic element rebounds, allowing the arc end of the positioning wedge to enter the positioning groove to complete the positioning.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of this scheme are: The device for preventing tongue biting in children with convulsions provided by this utility model involves inserting an insertion component between the patient's upper and lower teeth, causing the teeth to gradually open. A drive component rotates the insertion component, further separating the teeth until a support component enters between the teeth to provide support and prevent tongue biting. This device effectively provides support between the patient's upper and lower teeth to prevent tongue biting. Attached Figure Description

The other end of the drive component is located on the side of the support component away from the insertion component. After the insertion component is inserted between the patient's upper and lower teeth, the drive component can drive the insertion component to rotate, so that the patient's upper and lower teeth gradually separate until the support component can enter.

[0022] In the above embodiments, the insertion component includes an insertion piece 1 and a support piece 2. One end of the insertion piece 1 is connected to one end of the support piece 2. The thickness of the insertion piece 1 gradually increases from the end away from the support piece 2 to the end connected to the support piece 2. The width of the whole consisting of the insertion piece 1 and the support piece 2 gradually increases from the end away from the support component to the other end.

[0023] In the above embodiment, the end of the insert piece 1 that is away from the support piece 2 is tilted downwards.

[0024] In the above embodiment, the support component includes a support body 3, and the upper and lower sidewalls of the support body 3 are provided with grooves for the patient's teeth to enter, and the grooves are set in an arc shape.

[0025] In the above embodiment, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft 4, a knob 5, and a positioning part. The support body 3 has a rotating groove through which the drive shaft 4 can pass. One end of the drive shaft 4 passes through the rotating groove and is connected to the support plate 2. The other end of the drive shaft 4 extends to the outside of the support body 3 away from the support plate 2. The drive shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the support body 3.

[0027] Working principle: The front end of the insert 1 is thin, making it easy to insert between the patient's upper and lower teeth. As the insert 1 continues to be inserted, the patient's upper and lower teeth gradually separate until the support 2 enters between the patient's upper and lower teeth. At this time, the drive component drives the support 2 to rotate, which makes the patient's upper and lower teeth continue to separate. When the support component is between the patient's upper and lower teeth, turning the knob 5 causes the drive shaft 4 to rotate. As the support 2 rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state, the patient's upper and lower teeth are further spread apart, and the support 3 is inserted until the patient's upper and lower teeth enter the grooves respectively. Turning the knob 5 in the opposite direction makes the support 2 return to a horizontal state. Since the insert 1 is tilted downward, the insert 1 can prevent the patient's tongue root from falling back.
