[0023] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the utility model. The preferred embodiments of the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a bite force measuring instrument with a T-shaped chewing gum stick, comprising a shell 1, an air pressure sensor 10 is arranged inside the shell 1, and the air pressure change can be detected. A digital display screen 18 is arranged on the shell 1, and the air pressure sensor 10 is electrically connected to the digital display screen 18, and the air pressure change can be converted into numbers, so that the user can clearly understand the bite force through numbers. A T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 is arranged on one side of the shell 1, and the two horizontal side branches of the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 are solid, and the vertical branch of the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 is hollow. Then, through the T-shaped setting of the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7, the distance of the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 inserted into the patient's mouth can be limited, thereby avoiding the situation where the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 is excessively inserted into the mouth and causes harm to the patient, thereby improving the safety of the device when used.

[0025] The surface of the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7 is fixedly connected with a transfer tube 5 connected to the inside of the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7. The inner wall of the transfer tube 5 is tapered. The surface of the transfer tube 5 is fixedly connected with a hand-held tube 3 connected to the inside of the transfer tube 5. Through the setting of the transfer tube 5, the impact force of the airflow during discharge can be increased, thereby expanding the measured data, thereby ensuring that the shell 1 can smoothly detect the change in air pressure, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the device. The surface of the hand-held tube 3 is provided with an anti-slip groove 4. Through the setting of the anti-slip groove 4, it is convenient for the user to grip the hand-held tube 3, and at the same time, the friction between the hand-held tube 3 and the user's hand is increased, thereby improving the use effect of the device.

[0026] Furthermore, one end of the hand-held tube 3 away from the transfer tube 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting tube 2, and one end of the connecting tube 2 away from the hand-held tube 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the shell 1, so that the airflow generated in the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 can be transmitted to the shell 1 through the connecting tube 2, so that the air pressure sensor 10 in the shell 1 can smoothly monitor the change of air pressure and display it through the digital display screen 18, so that the device can measure the user's bite force through the change of air pressure, and then the patient can have a clear understanding of his or her own bite force, so that the patient can adjust the strength of chewing the gum and reduce ineffective chewing movements, thereby effectively improving the swallowing problems of patients with dysphagia, improving facial muscle contracture, improving tongue flexibility, improving oral perception, improving chewing ability, improving the small mouth opening and limited mouth opening of long-term bedridden patients, and enhancing the chewing muscle strength and swallowing ability, which is worthy of promotion.

[0027] Furthermore, the inside of the T-shaped chewing stick 7 is fixedly connected with airbags 14 arranged at equal distances, and a connecting tube 12 is fixedly connected between two adjacent airbags 14, so that the airbags 14 can be connected to each other, and the airbags 14 close to the side of the transfer tube 5 are fixedly connected to the connecting tube 2, so that the airflow in the airbag 14 can be transferred to the shell 1 through the connecting tube 2.

[0028] Four circumferentially equidistantly arranged pressure plates 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, and the surface of the pressure plate 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the air bag 14, and then through the setting of the pressure plate 13, some air bags 14 can be connected together, so that when the patient chews and bites the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7, the movement of the pressure plate 13 can drive some air bags 14 to be squeezed, thereby increasing the effect of air flow change, avoiding the situation where a single air bag 14 is compressed, the air pressure change is small, and the device cannot be measured, thereby expanding the air pressure change and ensuring the smooth use of the device.

[0029] Furthermore, one end of the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 away from the transfer tube 5 is slidably connected with a mounting sleeve 17, which is also made of soft rubber. Two interception nets 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 17, which are also made of soft rubber. The holes on the two interception nets 9 are offset from each other to block the residues in the oral cavity. At the same time, the mutual offset of the holes on the two interception nets 9 increases the difficulty for the residues to enter the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 and avoids the situation where the residues are retained in the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7. After using the device, the user can take out the mounting sleeve 17 and clean the interception nets 9 and the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 separately, thereby improving the cleanliness of the device, thereby reducing the possibility of bacteria growing in the device, improving the use effect of the device, and worthy of promotion.

[0030] The surface of the shell 1 is hinged with a rear cover 16 by a hinge, and the rear cover 16 and the opposite sides of the shell 1 are provided with a cross-shaped placement groove 15 for placing the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7, the transfer tube 5 and the hand-held tube 3, thereby facilitating the user to carry the device. The surface of the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7 is threadedly connected with a sleeve 8, and then through the setting of the sleeve 8, after the use of the device, the user can use the sleeve 8 to seal the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7, thereby avoiding external pollution to the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7 when the device is stored, thereby affecting the secondary use of the device, and improving the use effect of the device.

[0031] Furthermore, a card slot 6 is opened on one side of the shell 1 close to the rear cover 16, and an elastic card block 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the rear cover 16 close to the shell 1. The elastic card block 11 is made of elastic material, and then through the mutual cooperation of the card slot 6 and the elastic card block 11, the rear cover 16 and the shell 1 can be quickly snapped together to close the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7, the transfer tube 5 and the hand-held tube 3.

[0032] Specifically, when in use, the sleeve 8 is twisted to take the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 out of the sleeve 8, and then the user can chew and bite the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7, thereby deforming the T-shaped chewing gum stick 7 and applying force to the pressure plate 13, so that the pressure plate 13 squeezes the air bag 14, so that the air flow in the air bag 14 enters the shell 1 through the connecting tube 2, thereby acting on the air pressure sensor 10, and then displaying numbers on the digital display screen 18, so that the patient can clearly understand the size of his or her bite force by the size of the number, so that the patient can adjust his or her bite force according to the size of the number, thereby ensuring the effect of the training.

[0033] Working principle: chewing and biting the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7 deforms the T-shaped chewing rubber stick 7, causing the pressure plate 13 to be stressed, so that the pressure plate 13 squeezes the airbag 14, so that the airflow in the airbag 14 enters the shell 1 through the connecting tube 2, thereby acting on the air pressure sensor 10, and then displaying numbers on the digital display screen 18, so that the patient can clearly understand the size of his or her bite force by the size of the numbers.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
