Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation health care, and in particular relates to an oral pressure measurement training device. Background Art

[0002] The causes of dysphagia are complex and varied, mainly including diseases or dysfunctions of swallowing organs such as the oral cavity, pharynx, and esophagus. It is a complication of many diseases such as motor neuron disease and Parkinson's disease. Some laryngeal resection surgeries may also damage the pharyngeal nerves and cause dysphagia. Patients with dysphagia are not only unable to eat smoothly, which leads to physiological problems such as malnutrition and water and electrolyte imbalance, but also may increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia. In the most serious cases, they may even suffocate due to food blocking the respiratory tract, endangering their life safety.

[0003] During swallowing, the pressure inside the oral cavity undergoes significant changes. This change is an important part of the swallowing mechanism and is crucial to ensure that food or liquid passes smoothly from the mouth to the esophagus. Therefore, accurate measurement of the pressure inside the oral cavity can help assess oral health and diagnose related diseases, and further guide the formulation of treatment plans to maintain the patient's oral health and quality of life. Current oral detection devices are mostly used to detect oral pressure under the combined action of the hard palate and tongue. They cannot accurately measure and evaluate the pressure in various areas of the oral cavity during swallowing, and lack monitoring of changes in oral pressure at different times during swallowing. Measuring the pressure inside the oral cavity helps to more accurately assess various mechanical states inside the oral cavity, which is of great significance to the research and treatment of oral health, speech function and swallowing disorders.

[0041] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0042] It should be noted that the diagrams provided in this embodiment are only used to schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the diagrams only show the modules related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of the modules in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each module may be changed arbitrarily, and the module layout may also be more complicated.

[0043] Swallowing dysfunction not only affects the patient's normal eating, but also causes suffocation, aspiration pneumonia, etc., which is life-threatening. It is also an important symptom of many neurological diseases, so it is crucial to detect swallowing disorders in time. During the swallowing process, when food or liquid is delivered to the root of the tongue, the pressure inside the mouth begins to change. The mucous membranes of the tongue root, soft palate, pharynx and other parts feel the stimulation and send signals to the swallowing center in the brain. With the initiation of the swallowing reflex, the oral passage begins to close to prevent food or liquid from entering the nasal cavity or trachea. During this process, the pressure inside the mouth changes, which helps to collect and push food or liquid. When food or liquid enters the pharynx, the pharyngeal muscles begin to contract, pushing the food or liquid toward the esophagus, and the pressure inside the mouth continues to change to assist the contraction and pushing of the pharyngeal muscles. During the entire process of swallowing, the change in pressure inside the mouth is one of the key factors to ensure the smooth movement of food or liquid. Accurately measuring the pressure changes in different areas inside the mouth can effectively evaluate the individual's swallowing function, which is of great significance for the timely detection and treatment of swallowing disorders and various diseases.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 11The present invention proposes an oral pressure measurement training device, comprising a mouth plug body 100, a lip baffle 200, a measuring module 300, a display module 400 and a liquid delivery module 500. The mouth plug body 100 is at least partially disposed in the oral cavity, and deforms with the pressure changes in various regions in the oral cavity; the measuring module 300 is connected to the mouth plug body 100, and measures the deformation of the mouth plug body 100 so as to obtain the pressure of the corresponding region; the display module 400 is connected to the measuring module 300 for communication, and displays the pressure signals of various regions of the oral cavity measured by the measuring module 300, so as to realize real-time monitoring and recording of the pressure of different regions in the oral cavity during swallowing, so as to assist in customizing a rehabilitation treatment plan; the liquid delivery module 500 is connected to the mouth plug body 100, and delivers an appropriate amount of liquid into the oral cavity to assist in swallowing; at the same time, the lip baffle 200 fits with the lips to create a sealed environment in the oral cavity during swallowing to prevent saliva from flowing out. The mouth insert 100 cooperates with the external modules to monitor the pressure changes in various areas of the oral cavity during swallowing in real time, thereby achieving effective evaluation of the individual's swallowing function, timely discovering disease problems and conducting rehabilitation treatment. During the rehabilitation training process, the measurement and training device can also be used to track the training status; the mouth insert 100 has a simple structure and low cost, and can be easily replaced by different users at any time, effectively solving cost and hygiene problems, with good universality and easy promotion.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mouth plug body 100 includes a flexible sensing end 110, at least two groups of flexible sensing strips 120, a connecting layer 130 and a supporting member 140. The flexible sensing end 110 is located at the end of the mouth plug body 100 and is arranged in the pharynx, and can be deformed as the pressure in the pharynx area changes. The flexible sensing strip 120 is located on one side of the mouth plug body 100 close to the flexible sensing end 110, and is arranged in the area between the upper palate and the tongue in the oral cavity; the connecting layer 130 is used to connect the flexible sensing end 110 and the flexible sensing strip 120, one end of which is located outside the oral cavity, and the flexible sensing strip 120 and the flexible sensing end 110 are connected to other external modules to achieve accurate measurement and real-time monitoring of the pressure in the oral cavity; the two groups of supporting members 140 are respectively arranged on both sides of the flexible sensing strip 120, and extend along the length direction of the flexible sensing strip 120 to prevent the flexible sensing strip 120 from contacting the upper palate and the tongue to affect the pressure measurement, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement. The oral insert 100 has a certain rigidity as a whole and a certain ability to resist deformation under its own weight, ensuring that it can be inserted deep into the oral cavity to obtain pressures in different areas at different stages during swallowing, including the pressure of the pharynx.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 6According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, the flexible sensing end 110 is located at the end of the oral insert 100, which can penetrate into the oral cavity into the pharynx to measure the pressure changes in the pharynx during swallowing. The flexible sensing end 110 can, for example, be one or more flexible capsules, which facilitates measurement while reducing stimulation to the throat and reducing the discomfort caused when inserted into the pharynx.

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the oral insert 100 includes at least two groups of flexible sensing bands 120, each group of flexible sensing bands 120 includes a plurality of capsules, and the plurality of capsules are deformed as the pressure in the corresponding area of ​​the oral cavity changes. The deformation of the capsules can be used to measure the pressure in the corresponding area of ​​the oral cavity.

[0048] Specifically, the flexible sensing band 120 is located between the upper palate and the tongue, corresponding to different areas in the oral cavity, so as to measure the pressure of multiple areas respectively. Specifically, for example, the flexible sensing band 120 may include a first capsule group 121 and a second capsule group 122, the first capsule group 121 is located in the area between the hard palate and the front end of the tongue, and the second capsule group 122 is located in the area between the soft palate and the back end of the tongue. Each capsule group may include multiple capsules, and the number of capsules may be set differently according to different oral structures. During swallowing, due to the change in pressure inside the oral cavity, the flexible sensing band 120 and the flexible sensing end 110 will be deformed under their action, so that the pressure inside the capsule changes. By measuring the pressure change of each group of capsules when deformed by the measurement module, the pressure of each area in the oral cavity can be measured, and the pressure change inside the oral cavity can be accurately obtained, so as to evaluate the movement state of each nerve muscle group and achieve accurate evaluation of swallowing function.

[0049] In other embodiments, see Figures 7 to 10 According to measurement needs, the flexible sensing band 120 may also include multiple capsule groups, for example, three capsule groups, each capsule group includes six capsules, which are respectively located in the front end area of ​​the tongue, the middle end area of ​​the tongue and the root area of ​​the tongue, etc. The multiple groups of flexible sensing bands 120 and the flexible sensing end 110 are respectively used to sense the pressure changes in multiple areas inside the oral cavity, and the pressure monitoring of each area inside the oral cavity can be achieved through the measurement module; it can be understood that each capsule group may include one or more capsules, and the multiple capsules may be distributed in one row or multiple rows, etc., and the number and specific distribution of the capsules are not limited.

[0050] See also Figures 1 to 6According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, the capsule of the flexible sensing end 110 and the flexible sensing belt 120 can be, for example, a thin-walled capsule made of a flexible material, which is soft and convenient to enter, and the capsule is easy to deform, so the measured pressure value is more accurate and the measurement sensitivity is higher. For example, the first capsule group 121 and the second capsule group 122 each include two thin-walled capsules of equal size, and the two capsule groups are respectively connected to the measuring module 300 to measure the pressure changes in the front end area and the rear end area of ​​the tongue in the oral cavity.

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, a connecting layer 130 is arranged between the capsules, and a plurality of capsules are sequentially connected through the connecting layer 130. The flexible sensing end 110 is connected to one end of the connecting layer 130. The flexible sensing belt 120 is arranged in the connecting layer 130 and is located on a side close to the flexible sensing end 110. The plurality of capsules of the flexible sensing belt 120 and the flexible sensing end 110 are connected as a whole through the connecting layer 130 to ensure the overall rigidity of the oral insert 100.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the support member 140 is arranged on both sides of the flexible sensing band 120 and extends along the length direction of the flexible sensing band 120. Specifically, for example, the support member 140 can be fixed or clamped on both sides of the connecting layer 130, and the upper and lower sides of the support member 140 are in contact with the upper palate and the tongue respectively to achieve support and fixation of the flexible sensing band 120 in the oral cavity, while avoiding contact between the flexible sensing band 120 and the tongue and the upper palate, causing additional pressure on the capsule and thus affecting the accurate measurement of the pressure in the oral cavity.

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, the support member 140 is a flexible corrugated structure, which can be deformed under the action of external force to fit the oral cavity, effectively reducing the stimulation to the upper palate and the tongue, and alleviating the feeling of nausea and vomiting. Specifically, the corrugated structure includes a plurality of crests, each crest position corresponds to the capsule body one by one, and the crest length is consistent with the length of the capsule body. The corrugated structure is more conducive to the support member 140 to bend and deform under the restriction of the upper palate and the tongue body, and can effectively prevent the capsule unit from being deformed by the pressure of the upper palate or the tongue body when the oral cavity adapts to the shape of the oral cavity. The upper and lower ends of the support member 140 are arranged in an arc shape, and the bending and deformation ability is good, which can fit the internal shape of the oral cavity, reduce discomfort, and avoid large deviations when measuring oral pressure.

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 6According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of medium channels 150 are provided in the mouthpiece 100, which are arranged along the extension direction of the flexible sensing band 120 and are respectively connected to the flexible sensing band 120 and the flexible sensing end 110. One end of the medium channel 150 is respectively connected to each capsule group, and the other end is connected to the measurement module, so that the pressure in different areas of the oral cavity can be monitored in real time through the plurality of capsule groups.

[0055] See also Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, a plurality of medium channels 150 are arranged in the connection layer 130, respectively connecting the flexible sensing end 110 and each group of flexible sensing strips 120. The medium channels 150 are not connected to each other, and each medium channel 150 is connected to a group of capsules of the flexible sensing end 110 or the flexible sensing strip 120, so that each capsule group forms an independent detection body, which is respectively connected to the measurement module, and can respectively sense the pressure signals generated in each area of ​​the oral cavity, thereby obtaining the pressure changes in the corresponding areas of the oral cavity. It can be understood that the plurality of medium channels 150 are distributed in the connection layer 130 and are parallel to each other, and are not connected to each other. They can be located in the same plane, or in different planes in the connection layer 130.

[0056] See also Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the capsule is a hollow structure with a filling medium inside to change the capsule's anti-deformation ability and measurement range. Since the pressure thresholds of different areas in the oral cavity of different people are different during swallowing, the measurement ranges of capsules at different positions are also different. Using medium filling to improve the capsule's anti-deformation ability and change its measurement range is easy to control and adjust, and can effectively simplify the structure and reduce costs without affecting the accuracy of the measurement.

[0057] See also Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the measuring module 300 includes a medium pressure sensor, and the medium channel 150 is connected to the medium pressure sensor, and the medium pressure sensor is used to measure the change of the medium pressure in the medium channel 150. When the capsule is deformed under the pressure of the oral cavity, the medium pressure inside it changes. The capsule is connected to the measuring module through the medium channel 150. The medium pressure sensor of the measuring module can measure the change of the medium pressure in the medium channel 150, thereby obtaining the pressure change in the area where the capsule is located.

[0058] It is understandable that the medium introduced into the capsule and the medium channel 150 here can be non-toxic gas and / or liquid or other medium, and the measurement range of the capsule and the overall pressure and deformation resistance of the oral insert 100 can be changed by introducing the medium.

[0059] See also Figures 7 to 10According to another embodiment provided by the present invention, the support member 140 and the connecting layer 130 are integrated into a base structure as a whole. A chamber for accommodating the capsule is arranged inside the connecting layer 130, that is, the capsule is embedded in the connecting layer 130, and the chamber structure can have different settings. A medium channel 150 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting layer 130 to connect each group of capsules. The flexible sensing end 110 and the flexible sensing belt 120 are arranged inside the connecting layer 130, and the upper and lower bottom surfaces of each capsule are located in the connecting layer 130. During swallowing, the upper palate and the tongue are in contact with the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the connecting layer 130, but not with the capsule, which can support the oral insert 100 to ensure its stability in the oral cavity and effectively prevent the capsule from being affected by external forces and affecting the measurement.

[0060] See also Figures 1 to 10 According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, the shape of the capsule is not limited, and it can be, for example, an elliptical capsule, a cylindrical capsule, a spherical capsule, etc. Corresponding to different capsule shapes, the cavity structure in the connecting layer 130 is also different, so as to connect each capsule in the connecting layer 130.

[0061] See also Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a liquid delivery channel 160 is further provided inside the oral insert body 100 away from the flexible sensing end 110. One end of the liquid delivery channel 160 is connected to the liquid delivery module 500, and the other end is located in the oral cavity, so as to deliver an appropriate amount of liquid into the oral cavity. Specifically, for example, the inlet end 161 of the liquid delivery channel is provided at the end of the connecting layer 130 located outside the oral cavity and connected to the liquid delivery module 500. The liquid delivery channel 160 extends to the support member 140 along the length direction of the connecting layer 130. The outlet end 162 of the liquid delivery channel is provided at the end of the first crest 141 close to the second crest 142, which is located at the upper end of the tongue tip. During the swallowing process, an appropriate amount of liquid can be delivered to the tongue tip to help the user complete the swallowing process. The swallowing process can be effectively simulated, and measurement and training are convenient. The training intensity can be controlled by adjusting the amount of liquid delivered, and targeted training can be performed.

[0062] See also Figures 1 to 10 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the lip baffle 200 is sleeved on the mouth plug body 100, and has a certain curvature, and fits with the lips to create a sealed environment in the oral cavity. Specifically, for example, the lip baffle 200 can be set to an irregular circle that conforms to the shape of human lips, with a connecting hole in the middle, and can be sleeved on the connecting layer 130 of the mouth plug body 100 to achieve sealing of the oral cavity, prevent saliva from flowing out, maintain the sealed state of the oral cavity during swallowing, and ensure the smooth progress of the measurement process.

[0063] It is understandable that for different users, the depth of the oral cavity is different, and the position of the lip baffle 200 is also different. The lip baffle 200 is sleeved on the connecting layer 130, which is convenient for position adjustment and will not affect the structure of the mouth insert 100; in order to facilitate the position adjustment of the lip baffle 200 and ensure the stability of its fit with the connecting layer 130, the lip baffle 200 can be made of a material with a certain elasticity, and the side of the connecting layer 130 away from the flexible sensing band 120 can be set to, for example, a cylindrical, elliptical, rectangular, etc., for easy installation.

[0064] In other embodiments, a plurality of connection grooves may be provided on the surface of the connection layer 130 away from the flexible sensing band 120 , and the lip baffle 200 is engaged with the connection tube through the connection grooves at appropriate positions, so as to achieve adjustment and ensure stable connection.

[0065] See also Figures 9 and 10 According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the connecting layer 130 and the supporting member 140 are integrated into one, one end of the connecting layer 130 extending out of the oral cavity is configured as a cylinder to facilitate the installation of the lip baffle 200.

[0066] See also Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, the mouth insert body 100 and the lip baffle 200 can be made of flexible materials such as food grade silicone. It can be understood that the hardness of the support member 140 should be higher than that of other components to avoid large deformation in the height direction under the action of the upper palate and tongue of the oral cavity, thereby ensuring the overall stable deformation resistance of the mouth insert body 100.

[0067] See also Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the display module 400 is communicatively connected with the measuring module 300. During the measurement process, the pressure changes in different areas of the oral cavity at different times during the swallowing process measured by the measuring module can be displayed in real time to achieve an accurate assessment of the swallowing function. At the same time, the display module 400 can display the time in real time, and further analyze the pressure changes in conjunction with the swallowing time to determine whether the user has swallowing dysfunction or abnormality, so as to promptly detect oral problems and conduct rehabilitation treatment.

[0068] See also Figures 1 to 11When in use, the liquid delivery module 500 delivers an appropriate amount of liquid to the tip of the tongue to assist the user in simulating the actual swallowing action. The pressure in each area inside the oral cavity changes continuously, so that the balloon in the corresponding area will be deformed. The deformation of each group of airbags is measured by the measuring module 300, and the pressure in the oral cavity area where the airbag is located can be obtained. The data is then transmitted to the display module 400, so that the pressure in each area of ​​the oral cavity can be monitored in real time intuitively and clearly. According to the measured pressure data, the swallowing function and oral health status of the user can be evaluated, oral problems can be discovered in time and targeted rehabilitation training can be carried out; during the rehabilitation training process, the device can also be used to measure data, and the training situation can be evaluated through feedback, and the plan can be improved in time to achieve targeted rehabilitation training.

[0069] In the oral pressure measurement training device of the present invention, the flexible sensing end 110 and the multiple sets of flexible sensing bands 120 adopt a flexible capsule structure, and the supporting members 140 on both sides adopt a corrugated structure, whose deformation can adapt to the oral structure and effectively prevent the capsule from being affected by the pressure of the upper jaw and the tongue and affecting the measurement, and effectively reduce the discomfort caused by the mouth plug 100 while accurately measuring the pressure in different areas of the oral cavity; the connecting layer 130 connects the multiple sets of capsules into a whole, ensures the overall rigidity of the mouth plug 100, and facilitates the penetration of the mouth plug 100; the external liquid delivery module 50 is used 0 delivers an appropriate amount of liquid into the oral cavity, and utilizes human physiological reactions to effectively simulate the swallowing process. A lip baffle 200 is provided on the connection layer 130 to ensure the sealing of the oral cavity during swallowing; the measuring module 300 and the display module 400 monitor and display the pressure of each area in the oral cavity to accurately evaluate the swallowing function and assist in rehabilitation treatment; the liquid delivery module 500 can also be removed or not used, and only the oral pressure is measured; the mouthpiece 100 is connected to each external module through multiple pipes, with a simple structure, low cost, and easy to replace at any time.
