Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of cleft lip and palate training equipment, and in particular to a cleft lip and palate muscle function trainer and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cleft lip and palate is a common congenital developmental malformation of the oral and maxillofacial region, including cleft lip and cleft palate. It can exist alone or occur simultaneously. It is caused by incomplete apposition of facial structures during fetal development.

[0003] Cleft lip and palate is a congenital developmental malformation of the oral and maxillofacial region, which can manifest as a single cleft lip (commonly known as hare lip) or cleft palate (commonly known as wolf's throat), or as a combination of cleft lip and cleft palate.

[0004] Normally, in the early stages of fetal development, there will be clefts in the lips and palate, which will fuse within 6 to 11 weeks to form complete lips and mouth. But when the clefts cannot close normally, different degrees of cleft lip and palate will form. Patients with cleft lip and palate can be treated surgically. After the operation, blowing training is necessary to ensure that the patient speaks clearly. Through blowing training, it can prevent gas from being discharged from the nose when exhaling.

[0005] In the prior art, patients are usually trained to blow air bubbles in water or to blow out candle flames. However, in actual training, patients are not able to control themselves well and are very likely to aspirate water into their mouths, which is not only unhygienic but also prone to choking. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a cleft lip and palate muscle function trainer and a method of using the same. The device utilizes the buoyancy of water to place a stopper in a state of shielding the exhaust pipe after a mineral water bottle or a beverage bottle is installed. When air is blown, the airflow blows the stopper to make the blown gas flow into the water, and bubbles will appear in the water. When the patient inhales by mistake, the stopper seals the exhaust pipe to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe, thereby preventing water from being inhaled into the patient's mouth.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a cleft lip and palate muscle function trainer, comprising a main structure, on which a first training structure, a second training structure, a third training structure and a fourth air outlet pipe are installed, the first training structure, the second training structure, the third training structure and the fourth air outlet pipe are installed on a base, the first training structure includes a first air outlet pipe, an end of the first air outlet pipe away from the main structure is provided with an internal thread, an exhaust pipe and an air vent pipe are installed on the first air outlet pipe, and a stopper is provided at one end of the exhaust pipe away from the first air outlet pipe.

The air can be discharged from the air release tube 23. During the blowing training of the cleft lip and palate patient, in order to prevent the patient from inhaling the liquid in the mineral water bottle or the beverage bottle into the mouth, a stopper 25 is provided at one end of the exhaust pipe 24 away from the first air outlet pipe 21. The structure of the stopper 25 is thin in the middle and thick at both ends. The diameter of the end of the stopper 25 located outside the exhaust pipe 24 is larger than the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe 24, and the diameter of the end of the stopper 25 located inside the exhaust pipe 24 is smaller than the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe 24. A limiting ring is provided on the exhaust pipe 24, and the limiting ring can prevent the stopper 25 from falling off. The material of the stopper 25 is preferably plastic. By utilizing the buoyancy of water, the stopper 25 can be in a state of blocking the exhaust pipe 24 after the mineral water bottle or the beverage bottle is installed. During blowing, the airflow blows the stopper 25 to make the blown gas flow into the water, and bubbles will appear in the water. When the patient inhales by mistake, the stopper 25 seals the exhaust pipe 24 to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe 24, thereby preventing water from being inhaled into the patient's mouth.
