  • Patent number: 11726016
    Abstract: A bionic oral cavity structure for testing and application thereof are provided for solving a technical problem that actual test process of the conventional bionic oral cavity structure needs to be improved. The bionic oral cavity structure for testing includes: an upper jaw, a lower jaw, a drive unit, a sensor and a controller, wherein a gum is made of a soft elastic material, and a base of the gum has a through-hole; a cap is formed by extending upward from a top opening of the through-hole; the tooth comprises a molar made of a hard material, and an implant; a top end of the implant passes through the through-hole of the gum and then extends into the cap; the gum and the implant are detachably mounted on the mounting plate; the sensor is a flexible sensor which covers the cap.

  • Patent number: 11594152
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a link motion-based food swallowing simulator comprising a swallowing module including a bionic oral cavity assembly, a shred collecting assembly and a supporting assembly wherein two side plates of a maxillary base of the bionic oral cavity assembly connect to a mounting plate of the supporting assembly, wherein the shred collecting assembly is positioned on a mounting base of the supporting assembly; an adjusting module, positioned under the mounting base, includes a bearing assembly and an adjusting assembly wherein the bearing assembly is disposed on the adjusting assembly, achieving the simulation of the food swallowing mechanism from static to dynamic. The adoption of the driving module realizes the swallowing action through link motion simulation, simulating the swallowing process of the human body and the swallowing process of the patient lying on the back through adjusting modules, improving the swallowing situation with higher adaptability.

  • Patent number: 11069261
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a food swallowing simulating device, and belongs to the field of structural design of bio-simulation machinery. The device comprises an upper jaw matrix, a tongue matrix, a transmission device and a driving device; the upper jaw matrix and the tongue matrix are arranged oppositely, and opposite surfaces are curved surfaces; a channel is reserved between the curved surfaces to form a bionic oral cavity; and the tongue matrix is connected with the driving device by the transmission device, so that the motion of the tongue matrix is controlled by the driving device. Transition from static food swallowing mechanism simulation to dynamic food swallowing mechanism simulation is realized, and thus, a blank in the market is made up.
