Description
本发明涉及口腔正畸器械技术领域,具体涉及正畸器具。
目前针对牙列拥挤、龅牙、牙齿排列不齐、咬合不正等牙齿或面部的问题,正畸医生是采用正畸器械来对患者进行治疗,托槽、颊面管等正畸器具是正畸治疗器械的主要组成部分。在常规正畸治疗中,正畸医生将托槽粘贴在患者牙齿上,并将弓丝放入托槽的弓丝槽内,弓丝通过托槽向牙齿施加矫正力,以将牙齿移动到正确位置。传统的托槽是应用结扎线将弓丝保持在每个托槽的弓丝槽内,现已发展成采用插销或滑块等可移动部件将弓丝保持在托槽的弓丝槽内的自锁托槽。目前自锁托槽已在市场上取得了成功,但是托槽的结构还需要不断改进以完善其功能、稳定性和制造成本。
专利文件CN107714205B和CN208017607U等现有技术中公开了一种自锁正畸托槽,市场上绝大多数的自锁托槽是采用与之类似的技术方案,在主体上设置凹陷部,将固定可移动部件的固定件的一端设置在凹陷部内,同时固定件的另一端被可移动部件上的容纳腔接收,通过固定件的弹性回弹力控制可移动部件的移动,此类方案一方面弹性件直接与盖体接触,在盖体开合过程中弹性件会反复与盖体摩擦,目前托槽所使用的弹性件所采用的材料如记忆合金等耐磨性能均不够理想,在盖体多次开合过后,弹性件磨损厉害,会导致盖体盖合位置的锁定不稳或太容易被打开等问题。
本申请旨在开发一种更耐用的正畸器具。
发明内容
针对上述技术问题,本发明提供一种更耐用的正畸器具。
本发明解决该技术问题所采用的技术方案是:
一种正畸器具,包括主体和可移动部件,所述主体具有用于容纳弓丝的弓丝槽,所述可移动部件与所述主体配合并且可相对于所述主体在打开位置及关闭位置之间移动,所述正畸器具还包括固定结构,所述固定结构用于将所述可移动部件固定在至少关闭位置,所述固定结构包括位于所述主体和所述可移动部件其中一个中的弹性件和可动件,所述可动件包括至少一个突出端,所述突出端被接收于所述主体和所述可移动部件的另外一个中,所述可动件能活动并且协同所述弹性件将所述可移动部件固定在至少关闭位置,所述可动件通过挤压所述弹性件获取活动空间。CN107714205B等现有技术中,弹性件直接与盖体接触,在盖体开合过程中弹性件会反复与盖体摩擦,目前托槽所使用的弹性件所采用的材料如记忆合金等耐磨性能均不够理想,在盖体多次开合过后,弹性件磨损厉害,会导致盖体盖合位置的锁定不稳或太容易被打开等问题,另一方面此类方案是单纯依赖弹性轴或者弹性体发生弯曲变形,来控制可移动部件的移动以及限位自锁,弹性是由弹性体本身材料的弹性性能所决定,弹性体材料的弹性性能是很难调整的,而可移动部件的位置锁定开关的控制力量是由弹性决定的,所以CN107714205B和CN208017607U等类似的现有技术其自锁开关的控制是难以调整的,容易导致自锁托槽的盖体存在盖合不稳或打开盖体的开关需要使用较大力,不便于医生操作。而本方案是利用刚性的所述可动件协同所述弹性件来控制所述可移动部件,与所述可移动部件接触摩擦的是所述可动件的突出端,而钢性材料其耐磨性能比弹性材料的耐磨性能更强,与可移动部件摩擦后磨损较小,能使得正畸器具的可移动部件在开合多次后仍然能够稳定地将所述可移动部件固定在关闭位置。而且本方案的弹性可以是利用弹性件的 结构形成,可以不是单纯依赖材料自身的弹性性能,所以本方案能够产生更加柔和的弹性,而且可移动部件的位置锁定的控制力量值也可以通过调整弹性件的具体形状、尺寸、厚度等来进行细微调节控制。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述可移动部件和所述主体其中之一上设有阻挡部,当所述突出端位于第一位置时,所述阻挡部抵靠所述突出端并阻挡所述可移动部件相对于所述主体移动,当所述突出端位于第二位置时,所述可移动部件能相对于所述主体移动。所述突出端位于第一位置时,所述可移动部件位于关闭位置,所述阻挡部阻挡所述可移动部件移动,即是将所述可移动部件锁定在关闭位置;当所述突出端位于第二位置时,所述可移动部件可以移动直至打开位置。
在一些优选的实施方式中,所述弹性件在不受力状态下,所述突出端位于所述第一位置,所述可动件将所述可移动部件固定在关闭位置。在所述可移动部件位于关闭位置时,所述弹性件不施力,一方面这样便于装配,使得生产效率更高,生产成本更低,另一方面当没有外力想要移动所述可移动部件时,弹性件不会对所述可动件施加力使得其位置发生改变,所述可动件能够稳定位于该位置,所述可移动部件也能够更稳定的被锁定在关闭位置。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述弹性件能收缩或扩张并协同所述可动件将所述可移动部件固定在至少关闭位置。所述弹性件只要能够为所述可动件提供复位力让所述可动件恢复原位即能满足要求,优选的方案是采用弹簧式的弹性件,所述弹性件是通过收缩和扩张的方式产生弹性,弹性可以是利用弹性件的结构形成,可以不是单纯依赖材料自身的弹性性能,所以本方案能够产生更加柔和的弹性,而且可移动部件的位置锁定的控制力量值也可以通过调整弹性件的具体形状、尺寸、厚度等来进行细微调节控制。
在另一些具体的实施方式中,所述弹性件能弯曲或伸直并协同所述可动件将所述可移动部件固定在至少关闭位置。一些形状的弹性件通过弯曲来为所述可动件提供复位力也在本申请的保护范围内。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述弹性件包括至少一个抵靠壁,所述抵靠壁抵靠所述可动件的侧壁。所述抵靠壁抵紧所述可动件,所述可动件受力活动时,挤压所述弹性件形变,而撤去对所述可动件的施力后,所述弹性件的复位力为所述可动件提供复位力,所述弹性件恢复原形的过程中,所述可动件恢复到初始位置。所述抵靠壁可以是一个,也可以是两个,当所述可动件设于所述弹性件的中间时,所述弹性件可以含有两个抵靠壁。
在另一些具体的实施方式中,所述可动件上设有孔,所述弹性件插入所述孔。所述可动件受力活动时,带动所述弹性件形变,而撤去对所述可动件的施力后,所述弹性件的复位力为所述可动件提供复位力,所述弹性件恢复原形的过程中,所述可动件恢复到初始位置。在进一步优选的实施方式中,所述孔为通孔,所述弹性件穿过所述通孔。
在一些优选的实施方式中,所述可动件可活动并且协同所述弹性件将所述可移动部件固定在至少关闭位置,所述弹性件用于给所述可动件提供活动空间和复位力。所述可动件的活动方式可以是移动,也可以是转动,也可以是移动与转动结合。
在一些优选的实施方式中,所述可动件能绕大致平行于唇舌方向或颌龈方向的轴转动。所述可动件的转动方向可以是任意的,在优选的实施例中,沿着大致平行于唇舌方向或颌龈方向的轴转动。
在另一些具体的实施方式中,所述固定结构包括位于所述可动件两侧的两个弹性件,所述弹性件用于给所述可动件提供活动空间和复位力。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述弹性件在大致平行于唇舌方向或颌龈方向的截面上呈“N”型、“M”型、“π”型、“匚”型、“C”型、“S”型、“L”型、“T”型、“U”型、“H”型、直线型、折线型中的任一种。只要是弹性件能够发生收缩、弯曲,可以是在唇舌方向的截面呈可收缩或弯曲的形状,也可以是在颌龈方向上呈收缩或弯曲的形状,均能够为所述可动件提供活动空间和复位力。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述可动件为板状件或销。可动件也可以做成其他任意形状,做成板状或销,结构简单,成本更低。
在一些具体的实施方式中,所述可移动部件和所述主体其中之一在朝向所述可动件的表面设有容纳腔,所述可动件的突出端被接收于所述容纳腔中。

图17是牙齿参考系的示意图。
在下面的结构描述中,需要使用到牙齿的参考系来描述正畸托槽,具体参见图17,在此所使用的,用于描述正畸托槽的诸如唇侧、舌侧、近中、远中、咬合、颌龈的术语是对应牙齿的参考系。然而,本发明的实施例并不限于所选的参考系以及描述的术语,因为正畸托槽可用于口腔内的其他牙齿以及其他方向上。例如,正畸托槽也可粘接到牙齿的舌侧表面使用,也落入本发明的范围内。本领域技术人员将意识到,当参考系中存在变化时,可能不能直接应用在此使用的描述性术语。然而,本发明的实施例意欲独立于口腔内的位置和方向并且用于描述实施例的相关术语仅仅是对附图中的实施例提供明确的说明。同样地,相关术语唇侧、舌侧、近中、远中、咬合及颌龈绝不会将本发明限制在特定的位置或方向。
需要说明的是,相关术语唇侧、舌侧、近中、远中、颌平面及颌龈为正畸治疗的行业术语。以下颌牙齿为例,正畸托槽的表面可以大致分为六个面。面向唇部的面,为正畸托槽的唇侧面,面向舌部的面,为正畸托槽的舌侧面,唇侧面和舌侧面相对,唇侧面和舌侧面形成的方向也叫做唇舌方向。面向上颌牙齿咬合的面,为正畸托槽的咬合面,也可以称为颌平面、颌端面;面向其粘接的牙齿的牙龈组织的面,为正畸托槽的龈端面;咬合面和龈端面相对,咬合面 与齿龈面形成的方向也叫做颌龈方向。牙齿朝向牙齿中线的面为近中面,与所述近中面相对的面称为远中面,近中面和远中面形成的方向叫做近远中方向。
且在方向的描述上,如唇舌方向,一般指双向。而如唇-舌方向,特指单一方向,即从唇侧面向舌侧面的方向,以是否加入短横线作为区别。
轴倾标识线指的是,正畸托槽上设置的一条与托槽轴倾角角度相同的倾斜线,用于医生使用托槽粘接到牙面时是更加精准定位。
再者,以下描述的部件及空间也引用下颌牙齿的参考系来描述,如某部件的颌龈方向、颌端面等,但不对该部件及空间造成限制。

CN107714205B等现有技术中的弹性件直接与盖体接触,在盖体开合过程中弹性件会反复与盖体摩擦,目前托槽所使用的弹性件所采用的材料如记忆合金等耐磨性能均不够理想,在盖体多次开合过后,弹性件磨损厉害,会导致盖体盖合位置的锁定不稳或太容易被打开等问题;另一方面此类方案是单纯依赖弹性轴或者弹性体发生弯曲变形,来控制可移动部件的移动以及限位自锁,弹性是由弹性体本身材料的弹性性能所决定,弹性体材料的弹性性能是很难调整的,而可移动部件的位置锁定开关的控制力量是由弹性决定的,所以CN107714205B和CN208017607U等类似的现有技术其自锁开关的控制是难以调整的,容易导致自锁托槽的盖体存在盖合不稳或打开盖体的开关需要使用较大力,不便于医生操作。而本方案是利用刚性的所述可动件400协同所述弹性件300来控制所述可移动部件200,与所述可移动部件200接触摩擦的是所述可动件400的突出端410,而钢性材料的耐磨性能比弹性材料的耐磨性能更强,与所述可移动部件200摩擦后磨损较小,能使得正畸器具的可移动部件200在开合多次后仍然能够稳定地将所述可移动部件200固定在关闭位置。

结构越简单的零件其生产成本越低,所述可动件400可以制成板状件或销,使得其生产成本较低。可动件400也可以做成其他任意形状,在本实施例中,所述可动件400为圆柱形销。
参照图5-6,图5是正畸器具打开状态下图1中的A-A截面的剖视图,图6是正畸器具可移动部件可移动状态下的结构示意图,图5-6中所述突出端410位于第二位置,所述可移动部件200能相对于所述主体100移动,所述可移动部件200可以移动直至打开位置。当所述可移动部件200移动至打开位置时,所述容纳腔220的侧壁能够阻挡所述突出端410从中滑出,继而避免所述可移动部件200从所述主体100上滑落。
