Title:
MASTICATION SIMULATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/107765
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A mastication simulation system is provided. To this end, the present invention comprises: a main body having a load cell installed therein and comprising a base having a predetermined height; an upper teeth probe which is connected to a driving unit provided on the main body, moves vertically, and has a plurality of flow paths formed therein; a temperature maintenance unit which has a predetermined space for installing a lower teeth probe therein and is positioned on the base; a thermostatic water tank provided on one side of the temperature maintenance unit such that water at a set temperature can be provided to and drained from the temperature maintenance unit; an artificial saliva supply unit for supplying artificial saliva to the plurality of flow paths formed on the upper teeth probe; a control unit which is for controlling the operation of the driving unit, the temperature of the thermostatic water tank and the operation of the artificial saliva supply unit, sensing the load measured by means of the load cell, storing a set strain rate of food, which is placed on the lower teeth probe, due to the descent of the upper teeth probe, and enabling the descent of the upper teeth probe at set speed and by a set number of times and thus enabling mastication of the food; and a display unit for displaying a graph corresponding to the load measured by means of the load cell and the time in accordance with the mastication.
