Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rehabilitation equipment technology, and in particular to a rehabilitation exercise device for patients with swallowing disorders. Background Technology

[0002] Swallowing disorders can affect food intake and nutrient absorption, and may also lead to aspiration pneumonia caused by food being aspirated into the trachea. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening. The purpose of swallowing rehabilitation exercises is to help patients regain their ability to independently ingest nutrients and water, and to prevent problems such as suffocation, malnutrition, and dehydration caused by swallowing difficulties.

[0003] Patent CN116688438A discloses a rehabilitation exercise aid for post-stroke swallowing disorders. This aid includes a U-shaped elastic plate and an auxiliary mechanism disposed on the surface of the U-shaped elastic plate. The auxiliary mechanism includes an exercise component, a dental brace component, a pressure stabilizing component, and a pressure adjusting component. The exercise component is disposed on the surface of the U-shaped elastic plate, the dental brace component is disposed inside the exercise component, the pressure stabilizing component is disposed on the surface of the exercise component, and the pressure adjusting component is disposed on the surface of the pressure stabilizing component. This rehabilitation exercise aid allows patients to exercise their jaw muscles by biting down on the upper and lower dental braces, achieving the purpose of rehabilitation training. However, this rehabilitation exercise aid is only suitable for mild to moderate patients whose mouths can move voluntarily. For severe patients, voluntary mouth opening and closing movements are difficult, and this rehabilitation exercise aid cannot achieve an effective exercise effect.

[0004] Therefore, we have developed a rehabilitation exercise device for patients with swallowing disorders that can actively control the opening and closing of the patient's mouth for rehabilitation exercises. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing rehabilitation exercise aids that rely on the patient's mouth to actively bite to achieve the exercise effect, the present invention provides a rehabilitation exercise device for patients with swallowing disorders that can actively control the opening and closing of the patient's mouth for rehabilitation exercises.

[0006] A rehabilitation exercise device for patients with swallowing disorders includes a movable base, a push plate fixedly connected to the movable base, a protective rod fixedly connected to the push plate, a mounting base fixedly connected to the movable base, a collection box rotatably connected to the mounting base, a lifting plate slidably connected to the mounting base, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the lifting plate, a sliding plate slidably connected to the lifting plate, and a reciprocating screw rotatably connected to the lifting plate. The reciprocating screw and the sliding plate are connected by threads. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the lifting plate, and a drive motor is fixedly connected to the fixed frame.

[0007] Optionally, the mobile base consists of a base plate and casters mounted on the base plate.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes a cheek-puffing mechanism for controlling the patient's cheek-puffing training. The cheek-puffing mechanism is mounted on the lifting plate and includes a first air pump. The first air pump is fixedly connected to the lifting plate. An air supply pipe is connected to one side of the first air pump that is away from each other. An air storage cylinder is connected to the other side of the air supply pipe that is away from the first air pump. A hose is connected to the air storage cylinder. Mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the lifting plate. Air outlet blocks are fixedly connected to each mounting block. Air outlet blocks are connected to hoses. The first air pump and the reciprocating screw are equipped with a squeezing assembly, which is used to squeeze the first air pump to inflate it.

[0009] Optionally, the extrusion assembly includes a wedge block, which is fixedly connected to the piston end of the first air pump. A first spring is connected between the wedge block and the first air pump. A reciprocating screw is fixedly connected to a disc, and a push block is fixedly connected to the disc. The push block and the wedge block are in extrusion engagement.

[0010] Optionally, it also includes an opening and closing mechanism for controlling the connection and closure of the hose. The opening and closing mechanism is disposed on the sliding plate and the lifting plate. The opening and closing mechanism includes an L-shaped plate, which is fixedly connected to the sliding plate. A fixed block is fixedly connected to the lifting plate. A sliding block is slidably connected to the fixed block. A second spring is connected between the sliding block and the fixed block. A contact block is fixedly connected to the sliding block. The L-shaped plate and the contact block are in a pressing fit.

[0011] Optionally, the sliding block and the fixed block cooperate to clamp the hose.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes a stimulation mechanism for stimulating the throat to promote swallowing. The stimulation mechanism is set on the lifting plate and includes a second air pump. The second air pump is fixedly connected to the lifting plate and has an air jet pipe. An inclined plate is fixedly connected to the piston end of the second air pump. The L-shaped plate and the inclined plate are pressed together. A third spring is connected between the piston end and the fixed end of the second air pump.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes a massage mechanism for massaging the patient's cheeks. The massage mechanism is mounted on a fixed plate and includes a connecting block that is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. The connecting block is slidably connected to a movable plate. The movable plate is fixedly connected to massage rods that are evenly distributed. A fourth spring connects the movable plate and the fixed plate. A rubber block is fixedly connected to the movable plate. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate. The protrusion and the rubber block are press-fitted together.

[0014] Optionally, it also includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the lifting plate. The adjustment mechanism is mounted on the mounting base and includes a rotating rod that is rotatably connected to the mounting base. The rotating rod is fixedly connected to a threaded rod, and the threaded rod is fixedly connected to a crank handle. The lifting plate is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, and the connecting plate and the threaded rod are connected by threads.

[0015] Optionally, it also includes a pressing mechanism for pressing on the patient's throat. The pressing mechanism is mounted on the mounting base and includes a motor. The motor is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw. The mounting base is fixedly connected to a guide frame, and the guide frame is slidably connected to symmetrically arranged massage plates. The massage plates and the bidirectional lead screw are connected by threads.

[0016] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. The patient's mouth covers the fixed plate and the sliding plate. The reciprocating screw can drive the sliding plate to slide up and down continuously, thereby actively controlling the patient's mouth to open and close continuously for rehabilitation exercises.

[0017] 2. The wedge block and the push block work together to make the first air pump continuously pump air, and the air outlet block fills the patient's mouth with air, encouraging the patient to puff out their cheeks.

[0018] 3. The fixed block and the sliding block work together to clamp the hose, keeping the hose in a closed state. When the patient's mouth is closed, the sliding block releases, allowing air to escape from the air outlet. This ensures that air can be expelled even when the patient's mouth is closed, guaranteeing the desired cheek-puffing effect.

[0019] 4. The second air pump introduces air into the jet tube, which then precisely sprays the airflow into the patient's throat to encourage swallowing.

[0020] 5. The moving plate moves up and down, causing the massage rod to move up and down as well. The massage rod massages the patient's cheeks, promoting blood circulation and improving the activity of facial muscles.

[0021] 6. The rotation of the threaded rod, in conjunction with the connecting plate, can drive the lifting plate to slide up and down to adjust its height, thereby adjusting the height of the fixed plate and the sliding plate to accommodate patients of different heights.

[0022] 7. The bidirectional screw rotates in both directions, causing the massage plate to slide in and out continuously, thereby pressing on the patient's throat and further promoting swallowing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example 1: A rehabilitation exercise device for patients with swallowing disorders, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a movable base frame 1, a push plate 2, a protective rod 3, a mounting base 4, a collection box 5, a lifting plate 6, a fixed plate 7, a sliding plate 71, a reciprocating screw 8, a fixed frame 9, and a drive motor 10. The movable base frame 1 consists of a base plate and casters mounted on the base plate. The push plate 2 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the movable base frame 1, and the protective rod 3 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the push plate 2. The mounting base 4 is fixedly connected to the movable base frame 1, and the collection box 5 is rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting base 4. The lifting plate 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting base 4, and the fixed plate 7 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the lifting plate 6. The sliding plate 71 is slidably connected to the lifting plate 6, and the reciprocating screw 8 is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 6. The reciprocating screw 8 and the sliding plate 71 are connected by threads. The fixed frame 9 is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the lifting plate 6, and the drive motor 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 9. The output shaft of the drive motor 10 is connected to the reciprocating screw 8.

[0034] When using the device, staff can place some rehabilitation medical devices or patient medications in the collection box 5. Then, staff can push the movable base 1 with the push plate 2, thereby moving the device. When the device moves, the protective rod 3 can protect the front of the device to prevent collisions. When the device moves to the appropriate position, the patient's mouth is covered by the sliding plate 71 and the fixed plate 7. Then, staff can start the drive motor 10. The output shaft of the drive motor 10 rotates, which drives the reciprocating screw 8 to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 8 drives the sliding plate 71 to slide up and down, thereby causing the patient to continuously open and close their mouth for rehabilitation exercises. When the exercise is completed, staff can turn off the drive motor 10.

[0035] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a cheek-puffing mechanism, which can control the patient's cheek-puffing training. The cheek-puffing mechanism includes a first air pump 11, an air supply pipe 12, an air storage cylinder 13, a hose 14, a mounting block 15, an air outlet block 16, and a squeezing assembly. The upper side of the lifting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the left and right symmetrical first air pumps 11. The outer side of the first air pump 11 is connected to the air supply pipe 12. The lower end of the air supply pipe 12 is connected to the air storage cylinder 13. The lower side of the air storage cylinder 13 is connected to the hose 14. The lower front side of the lifting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the left and right symmetrical mounting blocks 15. Each mounting block 15 is fixedly connected to an air outlet block 16. The air outlet block 16 is connected to the adjacent hose 14. The first air pump 11 and the reciprocating screw 8 are provided with a squeezing assembly, which can squeeze the first air pump 11 to pump air.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the extrusion assembly includes a wedge block 17, a first spring 18, a disc 19, and a pusher block 20. The piston end of the first air pump 11 is fixedly connected to the wedge block 17, and the first spring 18 is connected between the wedge block 17 and the adjacent first air pump 11. The upper part of the reciprocating screw 8 is fixedly connected to the disc 19, and two pushers 20 are fixedly connected to the disc 19. The pushers 20 rotate to extrude the wedge block 17 outward.

[0037] By setting up a cheek-puffing mechanism, the patient can be controlled to puff out their cheeks, thus improving the rehabilitation exercise effect. The specific operation is as follows: When the patient's mouth covers the fixed plate 7 and the sliding plate 71, the front end of the air outlet block 16 is also located inside the patient's mouth. When using this device, the reciprocating screw 8 rotates, causing the disc 19 to rotate. The rotation of the disc 19 causes the push block 20 to rotate. When the push block 20 rotates to contact the wedge block 17, the continued rotation of the push block 20 will squeeze the wedge block 17 outward. The outward movement of the wedge block 17 causes the piston end of the first air pump 11 to slide outward to pump air. When spring 18 deforms, and push block 20 rotates to disengage from wedge block 17, wedge block 17, under the action of spring 18 resetting, drives the piston end of first air pump 11 to slide inward to draw air. When push block 20 rotates again to contact wedge block 17, repeating the above action will make first air pump 11 continuously pump air into air delivery tube 12. Air in air delivery tube 12 enters air storage cylinder 13, and then is introduced into air outlet block 16 through hose 14. Air is then poured into the patient's mouth through air outlet block 16, and the air encourages the patient to puff out their cheeks.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an opening and closing mechanism, which can control the opening and closing of the hose 14. The opening and closing mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 21, a fixed block 22, a sliding block 23, a second spring 24, and a contact block 25. The L-shaped plate 21 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the rear of the sliding plate 71. The fixed block 22 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower front side of the lifting plate 6. The sliding block 23 is slidably connected to the lower part of the fixed block 22. The sliding block 23 and the fixed block 22 cooperate to clamp the hose 14. The second spring 24 is connected between the sliding block 23 and the adjacent fixed block 22. The contact block 25 is fixedly connected to the front side of the sliding block 23. The L-shaped plate 21 moves downward to push the contact block 25 downward.

[0039] By setting an opening and closing mechanism, air can be injected into the patient's mouth by the air outlet block 16 when the patient's mouth is closed, ensuring the cheek-puffing effect. The specific operation is as follows: In the initial state, the fixed block 22 and the sliding block 23 cooperate to clamp the hose 14, so that the hose 14 is in a closed state. The air pumped by the first air pump 11 stays in the air storage cylinder 13 for storage. When the sliding plate 71 moves downward and causes the patient's mouth to close, the downward movement of the sliding plate 71 will cause the L-shaped plate 21 to move downward. When the L-shaped plate 21 moves downward to contact the contact block 25, the L-shaped plate 21 continues to move downward. The contact block 25 will be pushed downward, which in turn will cause the sliding block 23 to slide downward. The second spring 24 will deform. After the sliding block 23 slides downward, it will no longer clamp the hose 14. At this time, the air in the air storage cylinder 13 can enter the air outlet block 16 through the hose 14. When the patient's mouth is closed, the air can be expelled to ensure the effect of puffing out the patient's cheeks. When the sliding plate 71 drives the L-shaped plate 21 to move upward, under the action of the second spring 24 resetting, the sliding block 23 will slide upward and reset to clamp the hose 14 again, and stop the air from being poured into the mouth when the patient's mouth is open.

[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a stimulation mechanism that can stimulate the throat to promote swallowing. The stimulation mechanism includes a second air pump 26, an air jet pipe 27, a ramp 28, and a third spring 29. The second air pump 26 is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the front side of the lifting plate 6. The air jet pipe 27 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the second air pump 26. The ramp 28 is fixedly connected to the piston end of the second air pump 26. The L-shaped plate 21 is pressed and fitted with the adjacent ramp 28. The third spring 29 is connected between the piston end and the fixed end of the second air pump 26.

[0041] By setting up a stimulation mechanism, airflow can be precisely sprayed to the patient's throat to promote swallowing. The specific operation is as follows: The L-shaped plate 21 moves downward, squeezing the inclined plate 28 to move inward. The inward movement of the inclined plate 28 causes the piston end of the second air pump 26 to slide inward to pump air. The third spring 29 deforms, and the second air pump 26 introduces air into the jet pipe 27. The airflow is precisely sprayed to the patient's throat through the jet pipe 27 to promote swallowing. When the L-shaped plate 21 moves upward and no longer squeezes the inclined plate 28, the piston end of the second air pump 26 slides outward to reset under the action of the third spring 29, which in turn causes the inclined plate 28 to move outward to reset. When the L-shaped plate 21 moves downward again to contact the inclined plate 28, the above action is repeated to make the jet pipe 27 intermittently spray air to the patient's throat.

[0042] like Figure 6As shown, it also includes a massage mechanism that can massage the patient's cheeks. The massage mechanism includes a connecting block 30, a moving plate 31, massage rods 32, a fourth spring 33, rubber blocks 34, and protrusions 35. The fixed plate 7 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides with connecting blocks 30. The moving plate 31 is slidably connected to the connecting block 30. Three massage rods 32 are fixedly connected to the front side of the moving plate 31. The fourth spring 33 is connected between the moving plate 31 and the fixed plate 7. Two rubber blocks 34 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the moving plate 31. The protrusions 35 are fixedly connected to the front side of the L-shaped plate 21. The protrusions 35 move upward and press against the rubber blocks 34.

[0043] By setting up a massage mechanism, the patient's cheeks can be massaged to promote blood circulation and improve the activity of facial muscles. The specific operation is as follows: When the L-shaped plate 21 moves upward, it will drive the protrusion 35 to move upward. The upward movement of the protrusion 35 will compress the rubber block 34 to move upward, which will in turn drive the moving plate 31 to slide upward. The fourth spring 33 will deform. When the moving plate 31 slides upward to its limit distance, the protrusion 35 will continue to move upward and compress the rubber block 34 to deform, and then detach from the rubber block 34. At this time, under the action of the fourth spring 33, the moving plate 31 will slide downward to reset. When the L-shaped plate 21 drives the protrusion 35 to move upward to contact the next rubber block 34, the above action will be repeated to make the moving plate 31 move up and down again. The up and down movement of the moving plate 31 will drive the massage rod 32 to move up and down. The massage rod 32 will massage the patient's cheeks to promote blood circulation and improve the activity of facial muscles. When the L-shaped plate 21 drives the protrusion 35 to move downward, the protrusion 35 will also compress the rubber block 34 to deform again, and then detach from the rubber block 34.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes an adjustment mechanism that can adjust the height of the lifting plate 6. The adjustment mechanism includes a rotating rod 36, a threaded rod 361, a crank 37, and a connecting plate 371. The rotating rod 36 is rotatably connected to the upper rear side of the mounting base 4. The threaded rod 361 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 36. The crank 37 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the threaded rod 361. The connecting plate 371 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the lifting plate 6. The connecting plate 371 and the threaded rod 361 are connected by threads.

[0045] The height of the lifting plate 6 can be adjusted by setting an adjustment mechanism to accommodate patients of different heights. The specific operation is as follows: The operator drives the threaded rod 361 to rotate by the crank 37. The rotation of the threaded rod 361 drives the rotating rod 36 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the threaded rod 361 will drive the connecting plate 371 to move up or down. The up and down movement of the connecting plate 371 will drive the lifting plate 6 to slide up and down to adjust the height, thereby adjusting the height of the fixed plate 7 and the sliding plate 71 to accommodate patients of different heights.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a pressing mechanism that can press on the patient's throat. The pressing mechanism includes a motor 38, a bidirectional lead screw 39, a guide frame 40, and a massage plate 41. The motor 38 is fixedly connected to the upper front side of the mounting base 4. The bidirectional lead screw 39 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 38. The guide frame 40 is fixedly connected to the upper front side of the mounting base 4. The massage plate 41 is symmetrically slidably connected to the guide frame 40. The massage plate 41 and the bidirectional lead screw 39 are connected by threads.

[0047] By setting up a pressing mechanism, pressure can be applied to the patient's throat to further promote swallowing. The specific operation is as follows: The operator starts the motor 38, and by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 38, the bidirectional lead screw 39 is driven to rotate forward and reverse. The forward and reverse rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 39 causes the massage plate 41 to slide continuously in and out on the guide frame 40, thereby pressing the patient's throat and further promoting swallowing. When the device is finished, the operator turns off the motor 38.

[0048] It should be understood that the above description is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that variations of the invention are included within the scope of the claims herein.
