具体实施方式
以下将结合附图所示的具体实施方式对本发明进行详细描述。但这些实施方式并不限制本发明,本领域的普通技术人员根据这些实施方式所做出的结构、方法、或功能上的变换均包含在本发明的保护范围内。
结合图1及图2,为本发明一实施方式的牙科器械100及指示器10,指示器10用于牙科器械100。
这里,牙科器械100用于佩戴在口腔之中,本实施方式以牙科器械100为壳状正畸矫治器为例作说明,在其他实施方式中,牙科器械100也可以是其他需要在口腔内佩戴一定时间的牙科器械,例如口面肌训练器等。
牙科器械100包括牙科器械本体101及设置于牙科器械本体101上的指示器10,牙科器械本体101形成容纳牙齿的空腔S,且牙科器械本体101一般由透明材质制成。
牙科器械100容纳牙齿的空腔S具有将患者牙齿从第一布局重新定位到第二布局的几何形态,例如,牙科器械100的空腔S的几何形态可以是基于患者牙齿的第二布局而确定,或者,牙科器械100的空腔S的几何形态可以与患者牙齿的第二布局基本吻合。
在本实施方式中,指示器10可为独立生产的产品,后续用于牙科器械100中。
指示器10设置于牙科器械本体101靠近舌侧的一侧,和/或指示器10设置于牙科器械本体101靠近唇侧的一侧。
这里,指示器10的数量及位置不限,可根据实际情况而定,仅需保证指示器10可接触到口腔环境即可。
结合图2及图3,为本发明第一实施方式的指示器10以及具有指示器10的牙科器械100的示意图。
指示器10包括吸附层11及显示层12,当吸附层11吸附口腔内的作用物并达到饱和状态时,作用物通过吸附层11而渗透至显示层12,作用物作用显示层12展示图案。
这里,口腔内的作用物为可控制显示层12展示图案的致变因素,作用物例如为口腔内的唾液。
“显示层12展示图案”是指显示层12的状态发生变化,例如,显示层12的体积、形状、颜色、图案等发生变化,该些变化可被直观的观测到。
在本实施方式中,当牙科器械100未充分佩戴时,吸附层11吸附的作用物并未达到饱和状态,作用物无法渗透至显示层12,即显示层12不会展示图案,显示层12仍然保持初始的未变化状态。
而后随和佩戴时间增加,当牙科器械100充分佩戴时,吸附层11吸附的作用物达到饱和状态,作用物通过吸附层11而渗透至显示层12,作用物作用显示层12展示图案,即当观测到显示层12展示的图案时判断牙科器械100佩戴的时间已经足够。
本实施方式的吸附层11可持续吸附作用物,例如吸附层11持续吸附唾液,只有当吸附层11达到饱和状态时作用物才会与显示层12相互作用,也就是说,在吸附层11未达到饱和状态时,显示层12始终不发生变化,只有当吸附层11达到饱和状态时,显示层12才发生变化,可以大大提高指示器10指示的准确性。
这里,相较于指示器10在整个佩戴过程中一直变化的方案,本实施方式的指示器10只有在吸附层11达到饱和状态时才会出现状态变化,而吸附层11达到饱和状态的时间是可控的,例如控制吸附层11的材料、厚度等,一方面,可通过控制吸附层11达到饱和状态的时间来精确指示佩戴时间,另一方面,可避免因指示器10始终处于变化过程中而出现错误判断的情况。
在本实施方式中,吸附层11例如可由吸水率较大的材料组成,如聚氨酯、聚乙烯醇、硅胶干燥剂等。
显示层12可由在口腔的作用物作用下产生状态变化的材料组成,例如,显示层12包括的材料在作用物影响下发生变色,变色可以是由透明变成一种颜色,也可以是由一种颜色变成透明,还可以是由一种颜色变成另一种颜色等,显示层12颜色的变化可被直观的观测到。
又或者,显示层12包括的材料在作用物影响下呈现出隐藏的图案,例如,呈现出特定颜色、微笑图案、相应文字、产品商标等。
在本实施方式中,指示器10还包括包封吸附层11及显示层12的封装层13,封装层13上具有连通吸附层11及口腔的通孔131,口腔内的作用物通过通孔131而接触吸附层11。
这里,“包封”是指封装层13将指示器10的部分或全部结构包围起来,从而控制口腔内的作用物作用指示器10的路径,避免作用物直接接触显示层12而引起显示层12的变化。
另外,封装层13由隔离作用物的材料制成,且通孔131尺寸较小,在牙科器械100的冲洗过程中,冲洗用水不易透过封装层13而进入指示器10,即可避免冲洗牙科器械100等因素影响指示器10指示的准确性。
在本实施方式中,封装层13可以是多孔聚合物膜,例如,以聚氨酯、硅胶、聚丙烯酸等聚合物制成的多孔聚合物膜,可通过控制封装层13的通孔131数量、尺寸(即控制封装层13的孔隙率)而调整作用物透过量,进而进一步控制吸附层11达到饱和状态的时间。
在本实施方式中,封装层13包封吸附层11及显示层12的上表面、周缘及下表面,也就是说,封装层13包裹吸附层11及显示层12的整个外表面,仅在对应吸附层11的区域形成通孔131,如此,具有封装层13的指示器10可作为独立的产品且不容易受外界环境影响,指示器10作为独立产品可灵活运用至各种牙科器械。
在其他实施方式中,显示层12远离吸附层11的一侧表面也可不包封封装层13,例如在显示层12远离吸附层11的一侧表面设置可去除的离型纸,当指示器10安装至牙科器械本体101处时,将离型纸去除再将指示器10固定至牙科器械本体101,或者指示器10直接成型在牙科器械本体101处。
在另一实施方式中,至少部分封装层13由透过作用物的材料制成,口腔内的作用物通过透过作用物的材料而接触吸附层11,此时,封装层13可不包括通孔。
具体的,对应吸附层11设置的封装层13可由透过作用物的材料制成,而其他区域的封装层13可由隔离作用物的材料制成,如此,可控制口腔内的作用物通过透过作用物的材料而仅接触吸附层11,避免作用物直接接触显示层12,但不以此为限。
下面,介绍第一实施方式中的具有指示器10的牙科器械100的多种具体示例。
在第一具体示例中,结合图2及图3,显示层12包括图案层122及遮挡图案层122的反应层121,作用物控制反应层121变透明而暴露出图案层122。
这里,反应层121遮挡图案层122是指从观测端来看,反应层121位于图案层122的外侧,当反应层121未发生变化时,反应层121遮挡住图案层122而使得图案层122的图案无法被观测到,当反应层121发生变化并变透明时,透过反应层121可观测到图案层122展示的图案。
反应层121由遇水变透明的材料形成,例如,反应层121是吸水后折射率和/或反射光波长和/或结晶态等发生变化而变透明的材料。
显示层12为具有显示功能的结构,例如显示层12具有特定颜色或特定图案。
当吸附层11达到饱和状态时,作用物渗透至反应层121而使得反应层121变透明,并暴露出图案层122,当观测到图案层122展示的图案时,即表明指示器10已经充分佩戴。
本示例的反应层121只有在吸附层11达到饱和状态时才变透明而暴露出图案层122,可以大大提高指示器10指示的准确性。
在其他示例中,反应层121被配置为吸附的作用物达到饱和状态时变透明。
这里,当反应层121吸附的作用物未达到饱和状态时,反应层121不变透明,或者是反应层121没有变完全透明,作用物未渗透至图案层122,当反应层121吸附的作用物达到饱和状态时,反应层121完全透明,而后作用物渗透至图案层122。
另外,图案层122可以被配置为在作用物作用下展示图案,即当反应层121吸附的作用物达到饱和状态时,作用物渗透至图案层122而使得图案层122展示图案,例如,图案层122发生变色,或者是呈现出隐藏的图案等等。
在本示例中,反应层121及图案层122同时位于牙科器械本体101的外表面1011的一侧,吸附层11连接反应层121,吸附层11位于反应层121远离牙齿的一侧。
这里,“牙科器械本体101的外表面1011的一侧”是指远离空腔S的一侧。
由靠近空腔S至远离空腔S的方向Y上,本示例中的图案层122、反应层121及吸附层11依次堆叠并连接,且封装层13同时包封图案层122、反应层121及吸附层11。
图案层122、反应层121及吸附层11以及封装层13可以喷涂、拓印、丝网印刷、注塑、挤出成型、热压成型等方式形成。
在本示例中,吸附层11为透明层,且吸附层11吸附作用物之后仍为透明层。
吸附层11位于反应层121及口腔之间而隔绝反应层121及口腔,作用物沿吸附层11、反应层121及图案层122的叠加方向依次进入吸附层11及反应层121,当反应层12发生变化而变透明时,由于吸附层11及反应层121均是透明的,可从牙科器械本体101外表面1011的一侧观测到图案层122展示的图案。
在本示例中,封装层13位于图案层122与牙科器械本体101之间,封装层13远离图案层122的一侧表面与牙科器械本体101相互固定,当然,在其他示例中,结合图4,图案层122也可直接连接牙科器械本体101,即取消图案层122下方的封装层13。
需要说明的是,在其他示例中,吸附层11、反应层121及图案层122的至少其中之一为多层结构。
也就是说,吸附层11可以是单层结构,也可以是多层结构,同样的,反应层121可以是单层结构,也可以是多层结构,图案层122可以是单层结构,也可以是多层结构。
另外,当为多层结构时,多层结构可为材料、功能均相同的多层,或者是材料或功能不同的多层。
具体的,结合图5,吸附层11包括依次叠加的三层吸附层112、113、114,三层吸附层112、113、114的厚度、尺寸、材料、孔隙率等可根据实际需求任意选择,三层吸附层112、113、114的吸附能力可以相同,也可以不同,例如,三层吸附层112、113、114的吸附能力不同而对应不同的吸附饱和时间,如此,可根据需要指示的实际佩戴时间而选择不同的吸附层。
可以理解的是,吸附层11的层数可根据实际情况而定,相邻的吸附层之间还可包括粘结层或其他结构层。
反应层121为单层结构,但不以此为限。
图案层122包括依次叠加的两层图案层1221、1222,两层图案层1221、1222的图案、颜色、尺寸、材料等可根据实际情况任意选择,当显示图案层122时,可仅显示一层图案层,或者同时 显示两层图案层1221、1222,或者依次显示两层图案层1221、1222等,例如,上层图案层1221的尺寸小于下层图案层1222的尺寸而同时显示两层图案层1221、1222,下层图案层1222在上层图案层1221的周缘显示,或者,上层图案层1221具有暴露出下层图案层1222的镂空区域等。
结合图6,为第二具体示例的具有指示器10a的牙科器械100a示意图,为了便于说明,本示例中与第一具体示例相同或相似的结构采用相同或相似的编号,下同。
在第二具体示例中,指示器10a包括依次叠置的图案层122a、反应层121a、吸附层11a。
吸附层11a为透明层,当反应层121a发生变化而变透明时,从牙科器械本体101a外表面1011a的一侧可观测到图案层122a展示的图案。
封装层13a包封吸附层11a、反应层121a及图案层122a,且封装层13a上具有连通吸附层11a及口腔的通孔131a。
吸附层11a延伸至通孔131a内。
具体的,吸附层11a具有朝向通孔131a方向延伸的凸起111a,凸起111a填充满通孔131a,凸起111a的顶端与封装层13a的顶表面齐平,如此,可有效避免口腔内的作用物直接由吸附层11a及封装层13a之间的间隙处进入指示器10a内部而接触反应层121a,换句话说,本示例可有效控制口腔内的作用物先通过吸附层11a而后再渗透至反应层121a。
第二具体示例的牙科器械100a的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
结合图7,为第三具体示例的牙科器械100b示意图。
在第三具体示例中,指示器10b包括吸附层11b及位于吸附层11b周缘的反应层121b。
具体的,反应层121b环绕连接于吸附层11b的周缘,当然,在其他示例中,反应层121b可仅设置于吸附层11b的一侧。
图案层122b位于牙科器械本体101b的外表面1011b与反应层121b之间,且反应层121b遮挡图案层122b。
封装层13b包封吸附层11b、反应层121b及图案层122b,封装层13b位于反应层121b及口腔之间而隔绝反应层121b及口腔。
这里,吸附层11b与反应层121b沿着牙齿排列方向X(即平行于牙科器械本体101b的外表面1011b的方向)相连设置,当吸附层11b达到饱和状态时,作用物沿牙齿排列方向X渗透至反应层121b,反应层121b发生变化而变透明,从反应层121b的一侧可观测到图案层122b展示的图案。
此时,吸附层11b可以是透明层,也可以是非透明层,当为非透明层时,图案层122b也可延伸至吸附层11b的下方。
第三具体示例的牙科器械100b的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
结合图8,为第四具体示例的牙科器械100c示意图。
在第四具体示例中,指示器10c包括吸附层11c及位于吸附层11c周缘的反应层121c。
具体的,反应层121c环绕连接于吸附层11c的周缘,且反应层121c位于图案层122c的相对两侧,即图案层122c夹设于反应层121c中。
封装层13c包封吸附层11c、反应层121c及图案层122c,封装层13c位于反应层121c及口腔之间而隔绝反应层121c及口腔。
这里,吸附层11c与反应层121c沿着牙齿排列方向X相连设置,当吸附层11c达到饱和状态时,作用物沿牙齿排列方向X渗透至位于图案层122c上下两侧的反应层121c,反应层121c发生变化而变透明,从牙科器械本体101c外表面1011c的一侧及内表面1012c的一侧均可观测到图案层122c展示的图案。
在本示例中,当反应层121c未发生变化时,反应层121c遮挡图案层122c的相对的两个表 面,使得图案层122c完全不可见,可避免观测上的误差。
第四具体示例的牙科器械100c的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
结合图9,为第五具体示例的牙科器械100d示意图。
在第五具体示例中,指示器10d包括叠置的吸附层11d及显示层12d。
显示层12d为单层结构,吸附层11d连接显示层12d,吸附层11d位于显示层12d远离牙齿的一侧,显示层12d靠近牙科器械本体101d。
封装层13d同时包封显示层12d及吸附层11d,封装层13d位于吸附层11d及口腔之间而隔绝吸附层11d及口腔。
在本示例中,吸附层11d为透明层,且吸附层11d吸附作用物之后仍为透明层。
显示层12d为在作用物作用下发生变化的结构。
例如,显示层12d在作用物作用下发生变色,具体的,当显示层12d未接触作用物时,显示层12d显示第一颜色,当显示层12d接触作用物时,显示层12d变更为第二颜色。
或者,显示层12d在作用物作用下发生褪色,具体的,当显示层12d未接触作用物时,显示层12d显示特定颜色,当显示层12d接触作用物时,显示层12d发生褪色,此时的显示层12d例如可为淀粉-碘包合物,淀粉-碘包合物在唾液中的唾液淀粉酶的作用下才会分解褪色,可避免碳酸饮料或其他作用物对显示层12d的褪色过程产生影响。
又或者,显示层12d在作用物作用下显示图案,具体的,当显示层12d未接触作用物时,显示层12d处的图案未显示出来,当显示层12d接触作用物时,显示层12d显示图案。
当然,显示层12d在作用物作用下发生的变化不以上述说明为限。
吸附层11d位于显示层12d及口腔之间而隔绝显示层12d及口腔,作用物沿吸附层11d及显示层12d的叠加方向依次进入吸附层11d及显示层12d,当显示层12d发生变化时,由于吸附层11d是透明的,可从牙科器械本体101d外表面1011d的一侧观测到显示层12d展示的图案。
相较于前述示例,本示例的显示层12d为单层结构,使得指示器10d的整体结构更加简单。
第五具体示例的牙科器械100d的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
结合图10,为第六具体示例的牙科器械100e示意图。
在第六具体示例中,显示层12e为单层结构,显示层12e环绕连接于吸附层11e的周缘。
封装层13e同时包封显示层12e及吸附层11e,封装层13e位于显示层12e及口腔之间而隔绝显示层12e及口腔。
这里,吸附层11e与显示层12e沿着牙齿排列方向X相连设置,当吸附层11e达到饱和状态时,作用物沿牙齿排列方向X渗透显示层12e,显示层12e发生变化而展示图案。
此时,吸附层11e可以是透明层,也可以是非透明层,当为非透明层时,显示层12e也可延伸至吸附层11e的下方。
第六具体示例的牙科器械100e的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
在第一实施方式中,牙科器械100也可包括叠置的多个指示器10,多个指示器10可依次展示图案而指示多个佩戴时间,具体可参考下述第二实施方式。
结合图11及图12,为本发明第二实施方式的指示器10a及牙科器械100的示意图。
为了便于说明,第二实施方式中与第一实施方式相同或相似的结构采用相同或相似的编号,下同。
在第二实施方式中,指示器10包括叠置的第一指示器20及第二指示器30。
第一指示器20包括第一图案层21,第二指示器30包括第二图案层31,口腔内的作用物依次渗透第一指示器20及第二指示器30而作用第一图案层21及第二图案层31依次展示图案。
这里,口腔内的作用物沿着第一指示器20及第二指示器30的叠置方向逐渐渗透,随着口腔内作用物的渗透,第一图案层21及第二图案层31依次展示图案,可指示多个佩戴的时间节点。
具体的,假设第一图案层21在佩戴7天时展示图案,第二图案层31在佩戴14天时展示图案,即第一图案层21指示7天的佩戴时间节点,第二图案层31指示14天的佩戴时间节点,可以通过观测展示的图案来确定牙科器械100的佩戴时间,可适应不同需求的牙科器械100。
可以理解的是,本实施方式以指示器10具有第一指示器20及第二指示器30为例作说明,在其他实施方式中,牙科器械100也可包含第三指示器。
另外,展示的图案的具体形态可参考第一实施方式,在此不再赘述。
在本实施方式中,指示器10还包括包封第一指示器20及第二指示器30的封装层40。
封装层40可由隔离作用物的材料制成,封装层40上具有连通第一指示器20及口腔的通孔41,口腔内的作用物通过封装层40上的通孔41接触第一指示器20。
或者,至少部分封装层40由透过作用物的材料制成,口腔内的作用物通过透过作用物的材料而接触第一指示器20,此时,封装层40可不包括通孔。
本实施方式的封装层40的其他说明可参考第一实施方式,在此不再赘述。
可以理解的,每个指示器10指示的佩戴时间可通过封装层40的通孔41数量、尺寸,以及图案层的材料、厚度等来调整。
在本实施方式中,第一图案层21可直接连接第二图案层31,或者,第一图案层21间接连接第二图案层31。
也就是说,第一指示器20可以仅包括第一图案层21,或者第一指示器20还包括其他功能层,同样的,第二指示器30可以仅包括第二图案层31,或者第二指示器30还包括其他功能层。
下面,介绍第二实施方式中的牙科器械100的多种具体示例。
在第一具体示例中,结合图12,第一指示器20位于第二指示器30远离牙齿的一侧。
第一指示器20仅包含第一图案层21,第二指示器30仅包含第二图案层31,第一图案层21连接第二图案层31。
在本示例中,第一图案层21及第二图案层31同时位于牙科器械本体101的外表面1011的一侧,第二图案层31靠近牙科器械本体101,第一图案层21位于第二图案层31远离牙齿的一侧,即由靠近空腔S至远离空腔S的方向Y上,本示例中的第二图案层31、第一图案层21依次堆叠并连接。
封装层40同时包封第一图案层21及第二图案层31,封装层40位于第一图案层21及口腔之间而隔绝第二图案层31及口腔。
在本示例中,第一图案层21遮挡第二图案层31,且以第一图案层21及第二图案层31包括不同的淀粉-碘包合物为例作说明,淀粉-碘包合物在唾液中的唾液淀粉酶作用下逐渐褪色,在其他示例中,图案层可由其他材料制成。
第一图案层21由糊精-碘包合物组成,当第一图案层21未展示图案时,第一图案层21展示红色。
第二图案层31由支链淀粉-碘包合物组成,当第二图案层31未展示图案时,第二图案层31展示紫红色。
当口腔内的唾液未进入封装层40内部时,在牙科器械本体101的外表面1011的一侧只可观测到第一图案层31展示的红色。
当口腔内的唾液进入封装层40内部时,唾液先接触第一图案层21,第一图案层21的红色逐渐褪去并变透明,直至观测到第二图案层32展示的紫红色,此时可指示牙科器械100已经佩戴至第一时间节点。
而后唾液渗透至第二图案层31,第二图案层31的紫红色逐渐褪去,直至全部褪去,此时可指示牙科器械100已经佩戴至第二时间节点。
结合图13,牙科器械100还可包括第三指示器50,第三指示器50仅包含第三图案层51,第三图案层51由直链淀粉-碘包合物组成,当第三图案层51未展示图案时,第三图案层51展示蓝色。
这里,第三指示器50的其他说明可参考前述说明,在此不再赘述,通过设置第三指示器50可进一步增加牙科器械100可指示的时间节点的数量。
结合图14及图15,为第二具体示例的牙科器械100a的示意图。
在第二具体示例中,第一指示器20a位于第二指示器30a远离牙齿的一侧。

第一图案层21a及第二图案层31a的横截面均为圆形,第一图案层21a与第二图案层31a为同心圆,第二图案层31a的尺寸大于第一图案层21a的尺寸,此时,第二图案层31a的外轮廓位于第一图案层21a的外轮廓的外侧。
封装层40a同时包封第一图案层21a及第二图案层31a,封装层40a位于第一图案层40a及口腔之间而隔绝第二图案层31a及口腔。
需要说明的是,此时在第一图案层21a及第二图案层31a的边缘区域形成台阶部42a,封装层40a可填充台阶部42a而避免口腔内的作用物未经过第一图案层21a而直接接触第二图案层31a。
当然,台阶部42a处也可不设置结构,而是将封装层40a的通孔41a位置设置为仅连通第一图案层21a,且封装层40a与第一图案层21a紧密配合而避免作用物进入台阶部42a。
在本示例中,以第一图案层21a及第二图案层31a在作用物作用下可产生不同的颜色为例作说明,在其他示例中,图案层也可展示不同的图案,图案层也可由其他材料制成,例如图案层由前述示例中的淀粉-碘包合物组成。
当口腔内的作用物未进入封装层40a内部时,在牙科器械本体101a的外表面1011a的一侧未观测到颜色展示。
当口腔内的作用物进入封装层40a内部时,作用物先接触第一图案层21a,第一图案层21a展示第一颜色,直至第一颜色填充满第一图案层21a,即第一颜色填充满内圈圆圈,此时可指示牙科器械100a已经佩戴至第一时间节点。
而后作用物渗透至第二图案层31a,第二图案层31a展示第二颜色,直至第二颜色填充满第二图案层31a,即第二颜色填充满外圈圆环,而第一图案层21a仍然保持第一颜色,此时可指示牙科器械100a已经佩戴至第二时间节点。
第二具体示例的牙科器械100a的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
结合图16及图17,为第三具体示例的牙科器械100b的示意图。
在第三具体示例中,第一指示器20b位于第二指示器30b远离牙齿的一侧。
第一指示器20b还包括遮挡第一图案层21b的第一反应层22b,第二指示器30b还包括遮挡第二图案层31b的第二反应层32b,作用物控制第一反应层22b及第二反应层32b依次变透明而依次暴露出第一图案层21b及第二图案层31b。
在本示例中,由靠近空腔S至远离空腔S的方向Y上,第二图案层31b、第二反应层32b、第一图案层21b及第二反应层22b依次堆叠并连接。
封装层40b同时包封第二图案层31b、第二反应层32b、第一图案层21b及第二反应层22b。
第一反应层22b遮挡第一图案层21b,且第二反应层32b遮挡第二图案层31b,本示例以第一反应层22b与第一图案层21b的尺寸相同,且第二反应层32b与第二图案层31b的尺寸相同为例。

当口腔内的作用物未进入封装层40b内部时,在牙科器械本体101b的外表面1011b的一侧未观测到颜色展示。
当口腔内的作用物进入封装层40b内部时,作用物先接触第一反应层22b,第一反应层22b逐渐变透明而暴露出第一图案层21b,即可在内圈圆圈内看到第一图案层21b的第一颜色,此时可指示牙科器械100b已经佩戴至第一时间节点。
而后作用物渗透至第二反应层32b,第二反应层32b逐渐变透明而暴露出第二图案层31b,即可在外圈圆环内看到第二图案层31b的第二颜色,第一图案层21b仍然保持第一颜色,此时可指示牙科器械100b已经佩戴至第二时间节点。
在其他示例中,第一反应层22b及第二反应层32b被配置为吸附的作用物达到饱和状态时变透明。
这里,以第一反应层22b为例,当第一反应层22b吸附的作用物未达到饱和状态时,第一反应层22b不变透明,或者是第一反应层22b没有变完全透明,作用物未渗透至第一图案层21b,当第一反应层22b吸附的作用物达到饱和状态时,第一反应层22b完全透明,而后作用物渗透至第一图案层21b,第二反应层32b的说明可以参考第一反应层22b,在此不再赘述。
另外,第一图案层21b和第二图案层31b可以被配置为在作用物作用下展示图案。
这里,以第一图案层21b为例,当第一反应层22b吸附的作用物达到饱和状态时,作用物渗透至第一图案层21b而使得第一图案层21b展示图案,例如,第一图案层21b发生变色,或者是呈现出隐藏的图案等等,第二图案层31b的说明可以参考第一图案层21b,在此不再赘述。
第三具体示例的牙科器械100b的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
结合图18及图19,为第四具体示例的牙科器械100c的示意图。
在第四具体示例中,第一指示器20c位于第二指示器30c远离牙齿的一侧。
第一指示器20c包括第一图案层21c、遮挡第一图案层21c的第一反应层22c以及连接第一反应层22c的第一吸附层23c。
第二指示器30c包括第二图案层31c、遮挡第二图案层31c的第二反应层32c以及连接第二反应层32c的第二吸附层33c。

在本示例中,第一反应层22c及第二反应层32c由遇水变透明的材料形成,第一图案层21c 及第二图案层31c具有特定颜色,以第一图案层21c具有第一颜色且第二图案层31c具有第二颜色为例,具体可参考第一实施方式。
当口腔内的作用物未进入封装层40c内部时,在牙科器械本体101c的外表面1011c的一侧未观测到颜色展示。
当口腔内的作用物进入封装层40c内部时,作用物先接触第一吸附层23c,当第一吸附层23c达到饱和状态时,作用物渗透至第一反应层22c,第一反应层22c逐渐变透明而暴露出第一图案层21c,即可在内圈圆圈内看到第一图案层21c的第一颜色,此时可指示牙科器械100c已经佩戴至第一时间节点。

第四具体示例的牙科器械100c的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
结合图20,为第五具体示例的牙科器械100d的示意图。
在第五具体示例中,第一指示器20d及第二指示器30d沿着牙齿排列方向X并排设置,即第一指示器20d及第二指示器30d的排列方向平行于牙科器械本体101d的外表面1011d。
第一指示器20d仅包含第一图案层21d,第二指示器30d仅包含第二图案层31d,第一图案层21d连接第二图案层31d。
封装层40d同时包封第一图案层21d及第二图案层31d,封装层40d上具有连通口腔及第一图案层21d的通孔41d,通孔41d的开口方向平行于牙科器械本体101d的外表面1011d。
在本示例中,第一图案层21d隔绝了作用物接触第二图案层31d的通道,以第一图案层21d及第二图案层31d包括不同的淀粉-碘包合物为例作说明,在其他示例中,图案层可由其他材料制成。

当口腔内的唾液进入封装层40d内部时,唾液先接触第一图案层21d,第一图案层21d的红色逐渐褪去,直至仅可观测到第二图案层32d展示的紫红色,此时可指示牙科器械100d已经佩戴至第一时间节点。
而后唾液渗透至第二图案层31d,第二图案层31d的紫红色逐渐褪去,直至全部褪去,此时可指示牙科器械100d已经佩戴至第二时间节点。
第五具体示例的牙科器械100d的其他说明可参考前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,第二实施方式中的指示器也可为第一实施方式中的其他结构,并不以上述说明为限。
结合图21及图22,为本发明第三实施方式的指示器60及牙科器械100的示意图。
在第三实施方式中,指示器60包括图案层61及标尺70,图案层61在口腔内的作用物作用下生成变化区域L。
标尺70用于指示变化区域L的位置信息。
这里,假设图案层61形成观测区域N,当牙科器械100佩戴于口腔内时,图案层61会发生变化而使得观测区域N包括变化区域L及未变化区域M,变化区域L例如为变色区域、褪色区域等。
随着牙科器械100佩戴时间的延长,变化区域L与未变化区域M之间的交界位置A发生变化,标尺70用于指示该交界位置A的位置信息,即牙科器械100的佩戴时间可由标尺70来指示。
换句话说,本实施方式通过设置与图案层61相互配合使用的标尺70,可实时指示牙科器械100的佩戴时间。
在本实施方式中,指示器60安装于牙科器械本体101的外表面1011,图案层61沿第一方向X变色而生成变化区域L,第一方向X平行于外表面1011,变化区域L的位置信息便于观察及指示。
需要说明的是,“图案层61沿第一方向X变色”是指观测到的图案层61沿第一方向X变色,实际的口腔内的作用物的渗透方向可以是第一方向X,也可以是垂直于第一方向X的方向,例如由远离腔体S至靠近腔体S的方向(即Y方向的反方向)。
在本实施方式中,以第一方向X为牙齿排列方向为例作说明。
标尺70沿第一方向X延伸,且标尺具有指示变化区域L与未变化区域M的交界位置A的标记71,标记71参考图17中的箭头区域。
这里,沿第一方向X,标尺70上形成有多个标记71,多个标记71用于指示多个不同的佩戴时间。
例如,标尺70上沿着第一方向X依次形成有四个标记71,四个标记71依次指示佩戴时间为3天、7天、14天及28天,如此,可以通过观测标记71与交界位置A的关系来判断牙科器械100的佩戴时间,佩戴时间的指示过程更加简单直接。
另外,标尺70连接图案层61并位于图案层61的侧边,在其他示例中,标尺70可位于图案层61的上方,即标尺70位于图案层61远离牙科器械本体101的外表面1011的一侧,当然,在其他实施方式中,标尺70与图案层61也可间隔分布于牙科器械本体101的外表面1011处。
可以理解的是,标尺70也可为其他形式,仅需保证可指示牙科器械100的佩戴时间即可。
在本实施方式中,指示器60还包括至少包封图案层61的封装层80。
封装层80可由隔离作用物的材料制成,封装层80具有连通图案层61及口腔的通孔81,口腔内的作用物通过封装层80上的通孔81接触图案层61。
或者,至少部分封装层80由透过作用物的材料制成,口腔内的作用物通过透过作用物的材料而接触图案层61,此时,封装层40可不包括通孔。
标尺70可位于封装层80的外部或内部,封装层80的其他说明可参考第一实施方式,在此不再赘述。
下面,介绍第三实施方式中的带有指示器60的牙科器械100的多种具体示例。
在第一具体示例中,结合图22,指示器60仅包括一个图案层61,这里以图案层61为淀粉-碘包合物为例作说明,淀粉-碘包合物在唾液中的唾液淀粉酶作用下逐渐褪色,在其他示例中,图案层可由其他材料制成。
封装层80包封图案层61,且封装层80上的通孔81的开口方向为第一方向X。
图案层61由糊精-碘包合物组成,当图案层61未展示图案时,图案层61展示红色。
当口腔内的唾液未进入封装层80内部时,在牙科器械本体101的外表面1011的一侧可观测到图案层61形成的整个观测区域N均为红色。
当口腔内的唾液进入封装层80内部时,唾液接触图案层61,图案层61的红色逐渐褪去,褪去颜色的区域即为变化区域L,未褪去颜色的区域即为未变化区域M,变化区域L与为变化区域M之间形成交界位置A,此时可根据标尺70上的标记71读出交界位置A的位置信息,该 位置信息可指示牙科器械100的佩戴时间。
结合图23,为第二具体示例的牙科器械100a示意图,为了便于说明,本示例中与第一具体示例相同或相似的结构采用相同或相似的编号,下同。
在第二具体示例中,指示器60a的图案层包括相连的第一图案层61a及第二图案层62a,这里以第一图案层61a及第二图案层62a均为淀粉-碘包合物为例作说明,在其他示例中,图案层可由其他材料制成。
封装层80a包封第一图案层61a及第二图案层62a,且封装层80a上的通孔81a的开口方向为第一方向X。
第一图案层61a由糊精-碘包合物组成,当图案层61a未展示图案时,图案层61a展示红色。
第二图案层62a由支链淀粉-碘包合物组成,当第二图案层62a未展示图案时,第二图案层62a展示紫红色。
当口腔内的唾液未进入封装层80a内部时,在牙科器械本体101a的外表面1011a的一侧可观测到第一图案层61a展示的红色及第二图案层62a展示的紫红色,整个观测区域N为呈直线排布的红色区域及紫红色区域。
当口腔内的唾液进入封装层80a内部时,唾液沿第一方向X渗透而依次接触第一图案层61a及第二图案层62a,整个观测区域N中褪去颜色的区域为变化区域L,未褪去颜色的区域为未变化区域M,变化区域L与为变化区域M之间形成交界位置A,此时可根据标尺70a上的标记71a读出交界位置A的位置信息,该位置信息可指示牙科器械100a的佩戴时间。
这里,由于存在不同颜色的两个图案层,图案层的颜色变化对佩戴时间也有一定的指示效果,本示例可通过颜色变化及标尺70a读数同时指示佩戴时间,指示效果更佳。
第二具体示例的牙科器械100a的其他说明前述或后述具体示例的说明,在此不再赘述。
结合图24及图25,为第三具体示例的牙科器械100b示意图。
在第三具体示例中,指示器60b仅包括一个图案层61b,这里以图案层61b为淀粉-碘包合物为例作说明,且图案层61b的横截面呈圆形,在其他示例中,图案层61b可由其他材料制成。
封装层80b包封图案层61b,且封装层80b上的通孔81b的开口方向为靠近空腔S至远离空腔S的方向Y,且通孔81b对应图案层61b的中心C设置,此时,唾液先接触图案层61b的中心C。
图案层61b由糊精-碘包合物组成,当图案层61b未展示图案时,图案层61b展示红色。
