Description

Tongue root lifting type adjustable snore stopper

Technical Field

The invention relates to a tongue root lifting type adjustable snore stopper, and belongs to the technical field of medical instruments.

Background

With the improvement of living standard, the increase of social survival pressure and unhealthy work and eating habits, the further increase of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is caused, the OSA can cause the patients to sleepy, dizziness and poor mental state in the daytime, and the OSA can lead the patients to be in an anoxic state, which can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases for a long time. OSA occurs as a blockage of the upper airway, often in the soft palate and tongue base, where the blockage in the tongue base is caused by a tongue tenesmus that also tends to stress the soft palate, collapsing the soft palate and blocking the airway.

There are two physical treatments currently on the market for treating OSA: continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and oral snore stopper (OA). CPAP is generally expensive and shows poor compliance in patients, and is difficult to popularize in mild to moderate patients. As an alternative to CPAP, there are two main types of snore stoppers available today: the lower jaw propeller and the tongue fixer, the lower jaw propeller has proved to generate adverse effect on teeth after long-term wearing, finally irreversible tooth deformation and occlusion change are caused, and the phenomenon of tongue falling after the lower jaw is propelled still exists, thus the effect is not good for patients with enlarged tongue; tongue fixators are poor in therapeutic effect and easy to fall off, and the tongue can be injured when worn all night.

Disclosure of Invention

The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a tongue root lifting type adjustable snore relieving device, which can prevent the deformation of teeth by lifting an oral cavity apparatus which weighs down the tongue, dredging blocked air passages, and having better effect compared with a lower jaw propelling oral cavity apparatus.

In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:

the utility model provides a tongue root lift-draw formula adjustable snore relieving ware, includes a jaw board, a jaw board is the bellied arc structure that makes progress in the middle part, a jaw board openly directly laminates with the palate, both ends are even there is the facing respectively through the dead lever about a jaw board, the facing cover is on going up row of tooth, a jaw board back is through adjustment mechanism fixed connection have the terminal connecting portion of a board of carrying, the front end of carrying the board is provided with the shovel portion that is used for contacting with the tongue root.

The adjusting mechanism comprises a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod is movably connected with the sliding block, the other end of the connecting rod is movably connected with the connecting portion, a fixing portion is arranged on the back face of the jaw plate, the fixing portion is rotatably connected with the connecting portion, and a sliding groove for sliding the sliding block is formed in the back face of the jaw plate.

The fixed part is connected with the connecting part in a rotating mode through a pin shaft.

The lifting plate is provided with a medicine coating.

The drug coating comprises tetracaine.

The tooth socket, the top jaw plate, the lifting plate and the adjusting mechanism are made of methyl methacrylate.

The invention has the beneficial effects that: the tongue root lifting type adjustable snore stopper provided by the invention overcomes the defects that a lower jaw pushing type oral snore stopper in the prior art indirectly lifts the tongue by pushing the lower jaw, the phenomenon of tongue dropping is not eliminated at the moment, and the effect on patients with enlarged tongue is poor, and the tongue dropping is eliminated from the root by directly lifting the tongue through the lifting plate, so that the tongue root lifting type adjustable snore stopper has better curative effect; the upper teeth and the lower teeth are stressed by the molars at the two sides, and the weight of the tongue is lighter, so that the teeth cannot deform after long-term use; the invention adopts slow-release medicine to prepare a medicine coating on the surface of the equipment to relieve the vomiting reaction of a user.

Detailed Description

The present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the following examples are only for clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention, and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the invention discloses a tongue root lifting type adjustable snore relieving device, which comprises a jaw supporting plate 2, wherein the jaw supporting plate 2 is of an arc-shaped structure with the middle part protruding upwards, the front surface of the jaw supporting plate 2 is directly attached to an upper jaw, the left end and the right end of the jaw supporting plate 2 are respectively connected with tooth sockets 1 through fixing rods 8, the tooth sockets are obtained through personalized customization and are sleeved on teeth, and the inner sides of the tooth sockets 1 are the same as the shapes of the teeth. The back of the jaw plate 2 is fixedly connected with a connecting part 32 at the tail end of the lifting plate 3 through an adjusting mechanism 4, the front end of the lifting plate 3 is provided with a shovel part 31 used for contacting with the tongue root, and the tongue falling is eliminated fundamentally. Wherein, the tooth socket 1, the top jaw plate 2, the lifting plate 3 and the adjusting mechanism 4 are made of thermoplastic methyl methacrylate, and do not cause harm to human body.
