Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of oral care, and in particular to a spray oral irrigator for radiation-induced oral mucositis. Background Technology

[0002] Radiation stomatitis, also known as radiation mucositis, is oral mucosal damage caused by ionizing radiation. This condition primarily occurs in patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck malignancies. During treatment, while the main goal of radiation is to destroy tumor cells, it also damages normal cells, leading to oral mucosal congestion, erosion, and ulceration. Radiation damages salivary glands, causing dry mouth, decreased local oral resistance, and dysbiosis, making patients susceptible to secondary Candida albicans infections. Depending on the severity and course of the disease, it is classified as acute or chronic. The treatment goals for radiation stomatitis are primarily to relieve symptoms, prevent or control infection, and maintain adequate nutrition and hydration.

[0003] To relieve symptoms, patients need to rinse their mouths frequently. The traditional method is to prepare a mouthwash and rinse it themselves, but this is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a spray oral irrigator for radiation-induced oral mucositis, comprising: A base 1, on which a liquid storage tank 2 and a cover 3 adapted to the liquid storage tank 2 are installed, and an installation cavity 11 is provided inside the base 1; Handle 4, with nozzle 5 inserted thereon; The water pump 6 is installed in the mounting cavity 11. Its inlet is connected to the liquid storage tank 2, and its outlet is connected to the nozzle 5 through the pipe 12. The side wall of the base 1 is provided with a channel 13 for the pipe 12 to pass through. Control panel 7 is located on handle 4 and is electrically connected to water pump 6; Power supply 9 is electrically connected to water pump 6 and control panel 7; The reservoir 2 is used to store mouthwash or medication. The water pump 6 delivers the liquid from the reservoir 2 to the nozzle 5 through the pipe 12. When the water pump 6 is working, the liquid forms a fine mist through the nozzle 5 and is evenly sprayed onto the affected oral cavity area, ensuring that the medication can accurately act on the lesion and improve the treatment effect. The handle 4 is designed for easy use by the patient. The patient can start the water pump 6 and adjust the water pressure provided by the water pump 6 through the control panel 7 on the handle 4 to meet the sensitivity needs of different patients, thereby achieving a gentle and non-irritating rinse of the oral mucosa. The power supply 9 supplies power to the water pump 6 and the control panel 7 to ensure stable operation of the equipment.

[0019] The reservoir 2 is made of transparent or semi-transparent material, and a scale 21 is provided on the side wall of the reservoir 2. The amount of liquid in the reservoir 2 can be directly seen through the transparent or semi-transparent material, so that mouthwash or medication can be replenished in time, ensuring the continuous and effective operation of the device and avoiding the situation where the liquid is not known when it is used up, which affects the user experience. The scale 21 is used to measure the liquid volume, helping patients to accurately control the amount of liquid used, making it easy to mix the proportion of medication or mouthwash, and ensuring that the amount of liquid used each time meets the treatment needs.

[0020] The cover 3 preferably has an annular sealing groove at its bottom, with a sealing ring embedded in the groove. The side wall of the cover 3 has a buckle 31, and the storage tank 2 has a slot that engages with the buckle 31. The cover 3 has a vent hole, and a vent valve 33 is installed at the vent hole. The sealing ring is made of an elastic material, such as silicone or rubber. When the cover 3 is closed, the sealing ring is compressed within the groove, forming a tight barrier to prevent liquid from leaking out of the joint, keeping the equipment clean and hygienic. The buckle 31 and the slot utilize a mechanical interlocking principle, achieving a tight fit between the two components through shape matching. This not only simplifies the operation steps, making opening and closing easier, but also enhances the overall structural stability, allowing the cover 3 to be firmly fixed to the storage tank 2. The vent valve 33 allows air to enter the storage tank 2 from the outside to balance the pressure, preventing liquid leakage or poor spraying due to pressure differences.

[0021] To accommodate the handle 4, a support 14 is provided on the outer side of the base 1, and a clamp 22 corresponding to the handle 4 is provided on the liquid storage tank 2. The support 14 is used to provide a dedicated position for placing the handle 4, and the clamp 22 further enhances the fixing effect of the handle 4 and prevents it from falling off. This design avoids damage that may be caused by placing the handle 4 randomly. When the handle 4 is placed in the support 14 and fixed by the clamp 22, the whole device looks neater and more orderly, enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the product.

[0022] The power supply 9 includes a storage battery 91 and an external power grid. The storage battery 91 is located inside the handle 4 and connected to the control panel 7. The base 1 is provided with a power interface 92 connected to the power grid, and the support 14 is provided with a charging interface 93. The power interface 92 is connected to the water pump 6 and the charging interface 93. When the handle 4 is placed on the support 14, the storage battery 91 is connected to the charging interface 93. When the device is connected to an external power source, the power interface 92 receives power and distributes the power to the water pump 6 to ensure its normal operation. At the same time, the power is transmitted through the charging interface 93 to the storage battery 91 inside the handle 4 to charge it and ensure sufficient power.

[0023] The control panel 7 is equipped with a wireless communication module for sending control commands, and the water pump 6 is equipped with a receiving module that matches the control panel 7 for receiving control commands. When the settings are adjusted through the control panel 7, the control panel 7 will generate corresponding control commands. These commands are transmitted to the receiving module in the water pump 6 in the form of radio waves through the wireless communication module. After the receiving module parses the commands, it controls the working state of the water pump 6, such as starting, stopping, and adjusting the water flow intensity.

[0024] The pipe 12 is made of a flexible material, and part of the pipe 12 is stored in the base 1. The mounting cavity 11 is also equipped with a winding assembly 8 for rewinding the pipe 12. The flexible material has good ductility and bending resistance. The flexible material allows the pipe 12 to bend freely without affecting the liquid transmission, adapting to the movement requirements of the handle 4 and avoiding pulling or damage caused by the rigidity of the pipe 12. When not in use, the pipe 12 is stored in the base 1, reducing the floor space occupied. When the handle 4 is needed, the pipe 12 can be easily pulled out to extend to the required length. After use, the winding assembly 8 will neatly retract the pipe into the base 1, reducing the trouble of tidying up the pipe 12.

[0025] The winding assembly 8 includes: A roller 81 is used to wind the pipe 12. One end of the roller 81 is fitted with an annular plate 82 that is rotatably connected to it. The annular plate 82 is fixed in the mounting cavity 11 by a first bracket 83. The other end of the roller 81 is rotatably connected to a second bracket 84, which is fixed in the mounting cavity 11. A coil spring 85 is disposed inside a coil shaft 81, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the second bracket 84 and the coil shaft 81, respectively. A fixing ring 86 is fitted onto the section of pipe 12 near the water pump 6 and fixed to the ring plate 82; The guide 87 is connected to the reel 81 for transmission, and guides the pipe 12 to be evenly wound on the outside of the reel 81. The locking element 88 is connected to the reel 81 in a transmission manner to fix the pull-out length of the pipe 12; When pipe 12 is pulled out, reel 81 rotates, and spring 85 stores force. When pipe 12 is pulled out to the required length, locking member 88 locks reel 81 to prevent it from continuing to rotate, ensuring that the length of pipe 12 is fixed. When handle 4 is released, locking member 88 is released, spring 85 releases its elasticity, driving reel 81 to rotate in the opposite direction and automatically rewind pipe 12. When reel 81 rotates, guide member 87 moves synchronously to guide pipe 12 to be evenly wound around the outside of reel 81, avoiding uneven winding or accumulation of pipe 12. Reel 81 can rotate freely, while ring plate 82 is fixed. A section of pipe 12 is fixed to ring plate 82 by fixing ring 86 to prevent pipe 12 from falling off or loosening during rewinding.

[0026] Guide component 87 includes: Two sliders 871 are slidably installed in the channel 13, and the two sliders 871 are spaced apart; Two guide wheels 872 are rotatably mounted between two sliders 871 and are spaced apart vertically. The guide wheels 872 are provided with grooves that match the shape of the pipe 12. A screw 873 is provided through two sliders 871 and is rotatably connected to the two sliders 871. A first gear 874 is fixed at one end of the screw 873, and a second gear 875 that meshes with the first gear 874 is fixed on one side of the roller 81. The groove on the guide wheel 872 ensures that the pipe 12 can be accurately guided when passing through, preventing deviation; when the reel 81 rotates, the second gear 875 drives the first gear 874 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw 873 to rotate, causing the slider 871 to slide along the channel 13, ensuring that the winding process of the pipe 12 is stable and reliable.

[0027] Locking element 88 includes: Ratchet 881 is fixed to the outside of the second gear 875; Pawl 882 engages with ratchet 881, and one end of pawl 882 is slidably connected to slide bar 883, which is rotatably mounted on base 1; Spring 884 is sleeved on the outside of slide bar 883, and its two ends are connected to slide bar 883 and pawl 882 respectively. The lever 885 is connected to the slide lever 883; When the pawl 882 engages with the ratchet 881, the ratchet 881 cannot rotate in the opposite direction, thus locking the position of the spool 81 and fixing the pull-out length of the pipe 12. The spring 884 provides elastic support for the pawl 882, ensuring a stable engagement between the pawl 882 and the ratchet 881. The lever 885 is used to manually control the engagement or disengagement of the pawl 882 and the ratchet 881. When the lever 885 is moved, the slide bar 883 drives the pawl 882 to move, disengaging it from the ratchet 881, releasing the locked state, and allowing the spool 81 to rotate under the action of the coil spring 85. The entire locking mechanism 88 adopts a mechanical transmission structure, reducing reliance on electronic components and improving stability and reliability.

[0028] This utility model discloses a spray oral irrigator for radiation-induced oral mucositis. During operation, first, the cover 3 is opened, and an appropriate amount of mouthwash or medication is added to the reservoir 2. The cover 3 is then fixed to the reservoir 2 by the engagement of the buckle 31 and the slot. The sealing ring is in close contact with the reservoir 2 to prevent liquid leakage. The base 1 is connected to an external power source via the power interface 92 to ensure normal operation. The handle 4 is removed from the support 14, and the pipe 12 is pulled out from the reel 81. When the pipe 12 is pulled out to the desired length, the pawl 882 engages with the ratchet 881 to fix the length of the pipe 12. The nozzle 5 is aimed at the oral cavity, and the spray mode is selected via the control panel 7 on the handle 4. The control panel 7 sends instructions to the water pump 6 via the wireless communication module. Upon receiving the control instructions, the water pump 6 starts and delivers the liquid in the storage tank 2 to the nozzle 5 through the pipe 12. The liquid is then sprayed evenly onto the oral mucosa in the form of a mist, achieving the effect of cleaning and relieving symptoms. After use, the water pump 6 is stopped via the control panel 7, the nozzle 5 stops spraying, the locking piece 88 is released, and the handle 4 is returned to the support 14. The pipe 12 rotates under the action of the coil spring 85, automatically rewinding the pipe 12. The guide wheel 872 guides the pipe 12 to be evenly wound around the outside of the reel 81. The battery 91 is connected to the charging interface 93 to begin charging.

[0029] The present invention relates to a spray oral irrigator for radiation-induced oral mucositis. Its installation, connection, or setting methods are all common mechanical methods, and any method that can achieve its beneficial effects can be implemented.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
