Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infant and toddler products technology, and in particular to an oral training pacifier. Background Technology

[0002] Pacifiers are a common infant product, primarily used to soothe babies and satisfy their sucking needs. However, existing pacifiers have several shortcomings in use. Traditional products are relatively simple in function, mostly only meeting the baby's sucking needs, lacking guidance for the baby's oral development and respiratory system assistance. In terms of safety, the pacifier ring design does not adequately protect the baby's nasal cavity, easily causing pressure on the airway. Regarding comfort, the material hardness is uniform, and the pacifier ring can easily cause stuffiness, allergies, and other problems for the baby's facial skin. The structural design is also not reasonable enough, with uneven thickness and weight distribution of various components, making them prone to shaking or even falling off during use, failing to adequately meet the functional, safe, and comfortable requirements of modern parents for infant products.

[0003] In conclusion, developing an oral training nipple that can effectively prevent buck teeth, clean the tongue, and is also comfortable, safe, and easy to use is of great practical significance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an oral training pacifier.

[0005] This utility model proposes an oral training nipple, which is a one-piece molded silicone baffle, a retaining ring, and a nipple head. The retaining ring is arranged around the outer periphery of the baffle, and the nipple head is connected to the baffle. The upper and / or lower surfaces of the inner side of the nipple head are provided with inwardly recessed grooves, and the lower surface of the outer side of the nipple head is provided with a raised structure.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the synergistic effect of the concave strip on the inner side of the nipple and the convex structure on the outer side is utilized to meet the baby's sucking needs while guiding the regular movement of oral muscles through physical contact. This achieves the dual functions of guiding tooth development and training tongue muscles, breaking through the single soothing attribute of traditional pacifiers and realizing the multi-functional integration of oral training pacifiers. While meeting the baby's sucking needs, it also prevents dental deformities and maintains oral hygiene.

[0007] Furthermore, the depth of the grooves is 0.8-1.2mm, and the spacing is 2-3mm. The depth and spacing of the grooves are designed to fit the physiological structure of an infant's oral cavity, allowing them to act precisely on the gums during sucking, guiding the normal development of the occlusal surface, effectively reducing abnormal occlusal pressure, and preventing dental deformities such as protruding teeth.

[0008] Furthermore, the raised structure is a raised strip or a raised point. During sucking, the raised structure rubs against the surface of the tongue, physically removing milk residue, reducing bacterial growth, and improving oral hygiene.

[0009] Furthermore, the height of the raised structure is 1-1.5mm. The height of the raised structure is designed to match the thickness of the baby's tongue coating, which can remove milk residue through moderate friction while avoiding irritation to the oral mucosa, achieving a balance between cleaning efficiency and user comfort.

[0010] Furthermore, the baffle has a curved surface structure, which is positioned in the opposite direction to the nipple. This reverse curved surface structure effectively reduces the skin contact area, lowering the risk of stuffiness and allergies.

[0011] Furthermore, the connection between the tip of the nipple and the center of the baffle forms an inwardly concave vortex structure. This vortex structure design at the connection between the nipple and the center of the baffle creates a negative pressure vortex zone during sucking, causing the central structure of the baffle to elastically expand and contract, helping the baby exercise their lung capacity and promoting respiratory system development.

[0012] Furthermore, the baffle is equipped with ventilation holes, and its thickness is 1-2mm. The ultra-thin design of the baffle, combined with the ventilation hole structure, reduces the overall weight and improves air circulation efficiency, ensuring a light and comfortable fit to the face and reducing the risk of skin discomfort.

[0013] Furthermore, the nipple has a hollow structure, and its wall thickness is greater than that of the baffle. This hollow structure and thicker wall design reduces weight while optimizing the center of gravity distribution, improving wearing stability, and providing the nipple with good elastic cushioning performance, enhancing user comfort, reducing production costs, and achieving a balance between functionality, comfort, and economy.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom and top of the retaining ring are respectively equipped with a gripping part and a recessed anti-collision part. The bottom gripping part facilitates operation, while the recessed anti-collision part provides space for the nasal cavity, avoiding compression of the airway and improving safety during use.

[0015] Furthermore, the silicone used to make the nipple and shield has a Shore hardness of 20-30, while the silicone used to make the retaining ring has a Shore hardness of 50-80. The weight of the nipple is greater than the combined weight of the shield and retaining ring. This zoned hardness design achieves functional differentiation; the soft material of the nipple and shield ensures comfort, while the hard material of the retaining ring provides reliable protection. The optimized center of gravity design reduces the probability of slippage and improves reliability.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial results of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model features a concave strip on the inner side of the nipple to prevent buck teeth and a raised structure on the outer side to clean the tongue. It also features an elastically retractable vortex structure in the center of the baffle. This allows the product to guide normal tooth development, clean the tongue, and assist infants in exercising their lung capacity. It integrates oral care and respiratory system development assistance functions, breaking through the functional limitations of traditional products.

[0018] 2. The pacifier ring of this invention features a recessed anti-collision design, providing ample space for the nasal cavity and effectively preventing airway compression. The reverse arc structure and vent design of the baffle not only conform to the baby's face to reduce pressure but also ensure air circulation, reducing the risk of skin stuffiness and allergies. Furthermore, the use of silicone of varying hardness in different zones makes the nipple and baffle soft and comfortable, while the pacifier ring is sturdy and durable, better meeting the needs of infants compared to traditional single-hardness materials.

[0019] 3. The vortex structure design at the connection between the nipple and the baffle in this utility model can generate dynamic feedback during sucking, assist in oral muscle exercise, train oral suction, and improve the baby's lung capacity. It surpasses the static use mode of traditional pacifiers and provides a more positive auxiliary effect for the baby's development.

[0020] 4. The nipple of this invention has a wall thickness greater than that of the baffle, and the weight of the nipple is greater than the sum of the weights of the baffle and the retaining ring. This transfers the center of gravity of the entire nipple to the nipple (inside the mouth), preventing it from falling off when the baby sucks. Attached Figure Description

[0027] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form part of the detailed description and illustrate illustrative specific embodiments in which the present invention may be practiced. In this regard, directional terms such as “top,” “bottom,” “zip code,” “right,” “up,” “down,” etc., are used with reference to the orientation of the described figures. Because components of the embodiments can be positioned in several different orientations, directional terms are used for illustrative purposes and are by no means limiting. It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.

[0028] This utility model proposes an oral training pacifier, with reference to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 A three-dimensional representation of an oral training pacifier according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 And the front view. As shown in the figure, the oral training pacifier includes a one-piece molded silicone baffle 200, a retaining ring 300, and a nipple head 100. The retaining ring 300 is arranged around the outer periphery of the baffle 200, which plays a protective and fixing role and ensures structural stability. The nipple head 100 is connected to the baffle 200. The upper and / or lower surfaces of the nipple head 100 near the baffle 200 (inner side) are provided with inwardly recessed grooves 101, and the lower surface of the nipple head 100 away from the baffle 200 (outer side) is provided with a protruding structure 102. The grooves 101 can guide the normal growth of teeth when the baby sucks, effectively preventing the problem of buck teeth. Preferably, the depth of the grooves 101 is 0.8-1.2mm, and the spacing is 2-3mm. Preferably, the raised structure 102 is a raised strip or raised point, with a raised height of 1-1.5mm. During the baby's sucking process, the raised structure 102 can clean the tongue coating, effectively remove milk stains and other dirt, and maintain the baby's oral hygiene.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A three-dimensional representation of an oral training pacifier according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 ,like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the baffle 200 has an arc-shaped structure, with its arc-shaped surface facing away from the nipple 100. This design not only prevents the nipple from rubbing against the baby's face but also improves the baby's comfort during use. A vortex structure 202 is formed at the connection between the end of the nipple 100 and the center of the baffle 200. The vortex structure 202 is made of elastic silicone, which can elastically expand and contract when the baby sucks, helping the baby to exercise lung capacity and promote respiratory system development. Preferably, the vortex structure 202 can expand and contract by 0.3-0.8 mm under suction negative pressure. Furthermore, the baffle 200 has ventilation holes 201 distributed on it. The ventilation holes 201 ensure air circulation and reduce the weight of the baffle 200, preventing discomfort to the baby's face from prolonged contact with a heavy baffle.

[0030] A retaining ring 300 is arranged around the outer periphery of the baffle 200. The bottom of the retaining ring 300 has a gripping part 301, preferably with anti-slip textured surfaces for easy handling and placement of the oral training nipple, improving usability. The top of the retaining ring 300 has an anti-collision part 302, which is concave relative to the periphery, creating a clearance space for the infant's nasal cavity to pass through. When the oral training nipple comes into contact with the infant's face, this concave structure provides sufficient space for the infant's nasal cavity, effectively preventing pressure on the infant's nasal cavity and ensuring the infant's breathing safety.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figures 4a-4b , Figures 4a-4b The figures show a left view and a cross-sectional view along the AA direction according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figures. Figure 4a As shown, the baffle 200 has two ventilation holes 201. The ventilation holes 201 ensure air circulation, preventing stuffiness and dampness in the area where the baby's face contacts the baffle due to poor air circulation. They also reduce the weight of the baffle 200 to some extent, improving product comfort. Figure 4b This cross-sectional view clearly shows the silicone thickness relationship of each part of the oral training pacifier. The silicone thickness of the retaining ring 300 is d1, and the silicone thickness of the baffle 200 is d2, satisfying the condition that d1 > d2. Preferably, the silicone thickness d2 of the baffle 200 is 1-2 mm. The silicone thickness of the retaining ring 300 provides sufficient strength and stability, playing a good protective and fixing role; the thickness of the baffle 200, d2, is relatively the thinnest, ensuring that it can gently conform to the baby's face and reduce pressure on the face. The reasonable thickness design allows the oral training pacifier to achieve a good balance between functionality, comfort, and durability.

[0032] In this embodiment, the nipple 100 is a hollow structure, and its wall thickness is greater than that of the baffle 200. Designing the wall thicknesses of the nipple 100 and the baffle 200 to be uneven shifts the center of gravity of the entire nipple to the nipple 100 (inside the mouth), preventing it from falling off during infant sucking. The hollow structure of the nipple 100 also provides it with some elasticity, which helps train the infant's biting strength during teething.

[0033] In some specific embodiments, the oral training nipple uses silicone as its main material. The silicone forming the nipple head and baffle has a Shore hardness of 20-30. This hardness range provides the material with suitable flexibility, meeting the comfort requirements when the nipple is inserted into the mouth, and also allowing the baffle to form a soft cushion when it fits against the baby's face, reducing skin pressure. The silicone used to make the retaining ring has a Shore hardness of 50-80. This higher hardness ensures the retaining ring has sufficient structural strength to withstand the pressure and impacts of daily use, while also improving wear resistance to extend its service life.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the weight of the nipple is greater than the sum of the weights of the baffle and the retaining ring, preferably controlling the nipple weight ratio to be 55%-65%. The nipple can be solid or hollow. When a hollow structure is used, the wall thickness of the nipple is greater than the wall thickness of the baffle. Through the above-mentioned center of gravity optimization design, the shaking and shifting during use is effectively reduced, the risk of it falling out of the baby's mouth is reduced, and the wearing stability is significantly improved.

[0035] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the embodiments of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. In this way, this utility model is also intended to cover such modifications and changes if they fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents. The word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps not listed in the claims. The simple fact that certain measures are described in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures cannot be used for profit. Any reference numerals in the claims should not be considered as limiting the scope.
