Description
[ field of technology ]
The invention relates to the technical field of respiratory tract dilators, in particular to the technical field of tongue traction respiratory tract dilators.
[ background Art ]
The tongue is an important organ in the human body and has the main functions of assisting sound production, stirring, swallowing food and the like. The tongue muscle belongs to skeletal muscle and is innervated by the 12 th pair of hypoglossal nerves. Under normal circumstances, the presence of the tongue does not affect breathing, i.e., the respiratory tract between the mouth, glossopharyngeal, oropharyngeal and posterior pharyngeal is not normally open due to obstruction by the tongue. Clinically, patients after pharyngeal operation (such as patients after tonsillectomy, patients after palatopharyngectomy and patients after tongue root tumor resection), stroke patients, patients under anesthesia and the like may have problems of reduced respiratory tract capacity and even incapacity of breathing due to abnormal tongue position, and the tongue position needs to be adjusted manually.
Currently, hospitals typically use an entity to depress the tongue of a patient to expose the pharynx and improve breathing, such as a cough treatment device disclosed in the patent CN111163824B and a gastroscopic bite that maintains the airway clear against glossolalia as disclosed in the patent CN 215128367U. However, when in use, the device needs to keep the mouth of a patient open all the time, which is unfavorable for the oral hygiene of the patient and is easy to cause oral diseases. In addition, such equipment limits the tongue through the mode of pushing down, and the pressure is bigger the more the patient's use travelling comfort is poor, and the pressure is less the tongue is more easy to shift the roll-off under the lubrication effect of mouth water.
In addition, when the patient has the symptoms of glossomyoia, glossomegaly and the like, the epiglottis cartilage can be in incorrect position due to the glossoptosis. The applicant found that tongue movement can affect the epiglottis cartilage, widen the upper end of the respiratory tract, and improve snoring to a certain extent, and simultaneously greatly improve the ventilation of the trachea due to the widening of the pipe diameter of the upper end of the respiratory tract, thereby improving the oxygen contact quantity of the alveoli. Therefore, how to assist the patient in tongue exercise while adjusting the tongue position of the patient is needed to be solved.

[ detailed description ] of the invention
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the tongue traction respiratory tract expander of the present invention comprises an upper tooth socket 1 and a tongue socket 2, wherein the upper tooth socket 1 is in a U shape with a front opening, an upper tooth socket 11 capable of being embedded with an upper tooth row is arranged on the top surface of the upper tooth socket 1, the tongue socket 2 is connected with the upper tooth socket 1, a tongue body channel 21 for extending a tongue is arranged on the front side of the tongue socket 2, and the upper tooth socket 11 is arranged around the tongue socket 2.
The inner arc sides of the upper shell 1 are connected together by a die-linking piece 12, and the lingual shell 2 is mounted on the bottom surface of the die-linking piece 12.
The middle part of the die connecting piece 12 is provided with an upward extending outer flange 121, and the tongue sleeve 2 is arranged on the bottom surface of the outer flange 121.
The top surface of the yoke plate 12 is provided with plate textures 122 which can be embedded with the transverse palate texture. As for the lamellar body texture 122, the texture trend is matched with the transverse palate vein of the patient, so that the fitting degree of the linking sheet 12 and the upper part of the oral cavity of the patient can be effectively improved.
The upper tooth socket 1 and the tongue socket 2 are indirectly connected through the spring piece 3.
In a natural state, the distance between the end of the tongue sleeve 2 near the tongue tip and the end of the upper dental sleeve 1 near the arc bottom is 1.5cm (i.e. the position d in fig. 2).
The parts of the upper tooth socket 1 and the tongue socket 2, which are embedded into the spring piece 3, are respectively provided with a first thickening part 123 and a second thickening part 22. The addition of the first thickening portion 123 and the second thickening portion 22 can effectively improve the connection stability and the connection strength between the spring piece 3 and the upper dental socket 1 and the lingual socket 2 respectively.
The upper tooth socket 1 and the tongue socket 2 are both PC plastic sleeves, and the spring piece 3 is an elastic metal piece. Wherein, the PC material not only can keep a certain hardness of the upper dental floss 1 and the lingual floss 2 to avoid deformation, but also can make the upper dental floss 1 and the lingual floss 2 have better wearing comfort.
The upper dental socket 1 and the lingual socket 2 are respectively formed by injection molding through a mold. The molds of the upper dental floss 1 and the lingual floss 2 can be prepared by a digital scanning technology, so that the upper dental floss 1 and the lingual floss 2 can be customized according to the shape and the size of the upper dental floss and the lingual floss of a patient respectively.
The working process of the invention comprises the following steps:
in use, the upper dentition of a patient is directly inserted into the upper shell 1 through the upper socket 11. The patient then extends his tongue into the tongue sheath 2 along the tongue channel 21. At this time, the tongue is restricted to the normal tongue position.
Because the tongue sleeve 2 and the tongue positioned in the tongue sleeve 2 have a certain movement space due to the existence of the spring piece 3, a patient can exercise the tongue by utilizing the tongue to drive the respiratory tract expander. Specifically, the patient can first forcefully lift the tongue to deform the spring plate 3 until one end of the tongue sleeve 2 near the tip of the tongue contacts with one end of the upper tooth sleeve 1 near the arc bottom, and then release the tongue to pull the tongue sleeve 2 and the tongue in the tongue sleeve 2 back to the original position together by using the elasticity of the spring plate 3. The tongue exercise can be realized by repeating the above steps for a plurality of times. In addition, the exercise time of each time can be controlled to be 30-40 min.
The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention, and not limiting, and any simple modifications of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.
