Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rehabilitation equipment, and in particular to a rehabilitation equipment for dysphagia in rehabilitation medicine. Background Art

[0002] Dysphagia refers to the symptom that patients have difficulty swallowing, which prevents food, liquid or saliva from entering the stomach smoothly from the mouth. The causes of dysphagia are varied and may be related to neurological diseases (such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), head and neck surgery, muscle atrophy, aging or abnormal oral and esophageal structures. Early diagnosis and scientific intervention are crucial. Through rehabilitation treatment, medical intervention and dietary adjustment, patients can improve their swallowing function, prevent complications and improve their overall health.

[0003] Generally speaking, when patients with swallowing disorders need rehabilitation training, they need to undergo systematic training of facial muscles. If the patient's facial muscles are not strong enough, food cannot be fully chewed, increasing the difficulty of swallowing. Long-term lack of facial muscle training may also make swallowing movements more rigid and unnatural, further aggravating swallowing disorders.

[0004] In summary, how to solve the problem of further aggravation of dysphagia caused by insufficient facial muscle training has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a rehabilitation medicine dysphagia rehabilitation device. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a rehabilitation medicine swallowing disorder rehabilitation device, which fixes a fixed plate on a frame and allows a movable plate to move up and down. When the patient puts the fixed plate and the movable plate into his mouth, the up and down movement of the movable plate drives the patient's mouth to open and close, thereby allowing the patient's mouth muscles to undergo rehabilitation training, and the patient's swallowing disorder can be alleviated.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a rehabilitation medicine swallowing disorder rehabilitation device, comprising a frame, a bearing component for bearing the patient's lower jaw is provided on the frame, an auxiliary component for assisting the patient's mouth to open and close is provided above the bearing component, a driving component for driving the auxiliary component to operate and an inflatable component for adjusting the size of the bearing component are provided on the frame.

[0007] The auxiliary component comprises a movable plate and a fixed plate, and the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame.

[0008] The movable plate is located below the fixed plate and is vertically slidably matched with the fixed plate.

[0009] A first rotating rod is slidably matched with one side of the movable plate, the middle part of the first rotating rod is rotatably matched with the frame body, and one end of the first rotating rod away from the movable plate is fixedly connected with a second rotating rod.

[0010] Openings are provided on both sides of the movable plate, and training components for assisting cheek training of patients are arranged in the openings.

[0011] The technical principle of the above scheme is as follows: the bearing assembly is used to stabilize the patient's head and mandible. The size of the bearing assembly can be adjusted by the inflatable assembly to adapt to the body shape and mandible size of different patients, ensuring that the patient maintains a stable posture during training. By fixing the fixed plate on the frame, the movable plate slides vertically with the fixed plate. Through the operation of the driving assembly, the movement of the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod is driven, thereby driving the movable plate to slide up and down. The up and down movement of the movable plate simulates the opening and closing action of the mouth, assisting the patient to complete swallowing training.

[0012] The above scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The present invention can stabilize the patient's mandible through the load-bearing component, ensure that the patient maintains a correct posture during training, and avoid affecting the training effect due to head instability.

[0014] 2. The present invention simulates the opening and closing action of the mouth through the sliding cooperation of the movable plate and the fixed plate, thereby helping the patient to restore the coordination of the mandibular and oral muscles and enhance the swallowing function.

[0015] 3. The present invention makes the sizes of the bearing component and the training component adjustable through the inflatable component, which can adapt to the body shapes and rehabilitation stages of different patients, thereby improving the versatility and comfort of the device.

[0016] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a driving member and a controller, both of which are fixedly connected to the frame, and the controller is used to control the operation of the driving member.

[0017] The output shaft of the driving member is eccentrically fixedly connected with a rotating disk, and a connecting rod is rotatably matched outside the rotating disk. One end of the connecting rod away from the rotating disk is slidably matched with the second rotating rod.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The driving member is precisely controlled by the controller, and the movement frequency and amplitude of the second rotating rod can be adjusted according to the specific conditions of the patient, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the training. The design of the turntable and the connecting rod converts the rotational movement of the driving member into the up and down sliding movement of the movable plate, which has a simple structure and high reliability.

[0019] Furthermore, the inflation component includes a piston cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the frame, and has a first air inlet and a first air outlet in the piston cylinder. The first air inlet and the first air outlet are fixedly connected to a one-way valve, the first air outlet is connected to a gas pipeline, and a flow meter is fixedly connected to the gas pipeline.

[0020] A piston head is slidably fitted in the piston cylinder, one end of the piston head away from the first air inlet is hingedly connected to a push rod, and one end of the push rod away from the piston head is hingedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0021] Beneficial effect: The piston cylinder can realize one-way flow of gas through the design of the first air inlet and the first air outlet, and cooperate with the one-way valve to ensure the stability and controllability of the inflation process. The push rod is hinged with the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod can drive the piston head to slide in the piston cylinder through the push rod while running.

[0022] Furthermore, the bearing assembly includes a bearing airbag, which is fixedly connected to the frame and is located below the fixed plate. A second air inlet and a second air outlet are opened in the bearing airbag, and the gas pipeline is connected to the second air inlet. The second air inlet and the second air outlet are both fixedly connected to a first solenoid valve, and the controller is used to control the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve.

[0023] Beneficial effect: The load-bearing airbag can be adjusted in size by inflation, and can adapt to the mandibular size of different patients, providing personalized support. The second air inlet and the second air outlet cooperate with the first solenoid valve to make the inflation and deflation process of the load-bearing airbag more precise and controllable.

[0024] Furthermore, the training component includes training airbags, which are fixedly connected in the opening. A third air inlet and a third air outlet are provided in the training airbags. The third air inlet and the third air outlet are fixedly connected with a second solenoid valve. The controller is used to control the opening and closing of the second solenoid valve. The third air inlet is connected to the gas pipeline.

[0025] Beneficial effects: The training airbags are located in the openings on both sides of the movable plate, which can provide special training for the patient's cheeks and help restore the strength and coordination of the cheek muscles. The third air inlet and the third air outlet cooperate with the second solenoid valve to make the inflation and deflation process of the training airbag more precise and controllable.

[0026] Furthermore, a laser rangefinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame, and the controller is used to receive distance data monitored by the laser rangefinder.

[0027] The controller analyzes the distance data monitored by the laser rangefinder. Based on the distance between the patient's lower jaw and the laser rangefinder monitored by the laser rangefinder, the controller controls the first solenoid valve to open, and the piston cylinder inputs a certain amount of gas into the bearing airbag through the gas pipeline.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The laser rangefinder can accurately monitor the distance between the patient's lower jaw and the frame, providing real-time data support for the controller. Based on the data from the laser rangefinder, the controller controls the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve, adjusts the size and pressure of the load-bearing airbag, and ensures that the patient always maintains a stable training posture.

[0029] Furthermore, an elastic strap is fixedly connected to the top of the frame.

[0030] Beneficial effect: The elastic strap is fixed on the top of the frame, which can further stabilize the patient's head, prevent the head from shaking or slipping during training, and ensure the stability and safety of training.

[0031] Furthermore, a spring is fixedly connected between the fixed plate and the movable plate.

[0032] Beneficial effects: The spring is helpful to provide elastic buffer for the sliding of the movable plate, reduce the impact of the movable plate on the patient's mandible during movement, and improve the comfort of training.

[0033] Furthermore, the top of the fixed plate and the bottom of the movable plate are both fixedly connected with a flexible layer.

[0034] Beneficial effects: The flexible layer can directly contact the patient's oral cavity, provide soft support and protection, and reduce friction and pressure on the patient's teeth during training.

[0035] Furthermore, a protective shell for protecting the driving member, the turntable and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0036] Beneficial effects: The protective shell is used to protect the driving parts, the turntable and the connecting rod, preventing these parts from being disturbed or damaged by the outside world during operation, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the device.

[0037] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and in part will be obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0044] Embodiment 1:

[0045] As attached Figure 1-Figure 4 Shown: A rehabilitation device for swallowing disorders in rehabilitation medicine, including a frame 1, on which is provided a bearing component for bearing the patient's lower jaw, above which is provided an auxiliary component for assisting the patient's mouth to open and close, and on which is provided a driving component for driving the auxiliary component to operate and an inflatable component for adjusting the size of the bearing component.

[0046] The auxiliary component includes a movable plate 12 and a fixed plate 11 , and the fixed plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame body 1 by screws.

[0047] The movable plate 12 is located below the fixed plate 11 and vertically slides with the fixed plate 11 .

[0048] A first rotating rod 3 is slidably engaged with one side of the movable plate 12 , a middle portion of the first rotating rod 3 is rotatably engaged with the frame body 1 , and an end of the first rotating rod 3 away from the movable plate 12 is fixedly connected with a second rotating rod 2 by screws.

[0049] Openings are formed on both sides of the movable plate 12, and training components for assisting the patient's cheek training are arranged in the openings.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the driving assembly includes a driving member and a controller. In this embodiment, the driving member is selected as a driving motor 6. The driving motor 6 and the controller are both bolted to the frame 1, and the controller is used to control the operation of the driving motor 6.

[0051] The output shaft of the driving motor 6 is fixedly connected with a turntable 5 by an eccentric bolt. The turntable 5 is rotatably matched with a connecting rod 4. One end of the connecting rod 4 away from the turntable 5 is slidably matched with the second rotating rod 2.

[0052] The inflation assembly includes a piston cylinder 9, which is fixedly connected to the frame 1 with bolts. A first air inlet and a first air outlet are opened in the piston cylinder 9. The first air inlet and the first air outlet are both connected with a one-way valve fixedly connected by screws. The first air outlet is connected to a gas pipeline 15, and a flow meter is fixedly connected to the gas pipeline 15 with screws.

[0053] A piston head 8 is slidably fitted in the piston cylinder 9 , and a push rod 7 is hingedly connected to one end of the piston head 8 away from the first air inlet, and another end of the push rod 7 away from the piston head 8 is hingedly connected to the connecting rod 4 .

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the bearing assembly includes a bearing airbag 10, which is fixedly connected to the frame 1 by screws and is located below the fixing plate 11. A second air inlet and a second air outlet are opened in the bearing airbag 10, and a gas pipeline 15 is connected to the second air inlet. The second air inlet and the second air outlet are both fixedly connected to a first solenoid valve 14 by screws, and a controller is used to control the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve 14.

[0055] The training component includes a training airbag 13, which is fixedly connected to the opening with screws. A third air inlet and a third air outlet are provided in the training airbag 13. The third air inlet and the third air outlet are fixedly connected to a second solenoid valve 16 by screws. The controller is used to control the opening and closing of the second solenoid valve 16. The third air inlet is connected to the gas pipeline 15.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, a laser rangefinder 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1 by screws, and the controller is used to receive distance data monitored by the laser rangefinder 17.

[0057] The controller analyzes the distance data monitored by the laser rangefinder 17 , and controls the first solenoid valve 14 to open based on the distance between the patient's lower jaw and the laser rangefinder 17 monitored by the laser rangefinder 17 , so that the piston cylinder 9 inputs a certain amount of gas into the carrying airbag 10 through the gas pipeline 15 .

[0058] The specific implementation process is as follows: first, fix the frame 1 on the table where the patient needs rehabilitation treatment. After the frame 1 is fixed, the staff can turn on the laser rangefinder 17 to measure the distance between the frame 1 and the patient's lower jaw through the laser rangefinder 17. The controller will receive the distance data monitored by the laser rangefinder 17.

[0059] by Figure 1 For example, the staff can preset different inflation volumes in the controller according to different distance data in advance. When the controller receives the distance data monitored by the laser rangefinder 17, the controller will control the drive motor 6 to start. The start of the drive motor 6 will drive the turntable 5 to rotate eccentrically. When the turntable 5 rotates eccentrically, it will drive the connecting rod 4 to move up and down. At this time, the connecting rod 4 will drive the push rod 7 to move up and down, thereby driving the piston head 8 to slide in the piston cylinder 9.

[0060] Combination Figure 3As shown, at the same time, the controller controls the first electromagnetic valve 14 in the second air inlet to open. As the piston head 8 slides in the piston cylinder 9, the external gas enters the piston cylinder 9 through the first air inlet and then enters the bearing airbag 10 through the first air outlet and the gas pipeline 15. As the bearing airbag 10 is inflated, the bearing airbag 10 will gradually increase. When the flow meter detects that the gas flow through the gas pipeline 15 reaches the preset inflation volume, the controller controls the first electromagnetic valve 14 and the drive motor 6 to close. At this time, the size of the bearing airbag 10 is suitable for the patient's mandibular size.

[0061] The patient can then place his lower jaw on the load-bearing airbag 10 , which can provide stable support after being inflated and adjusted, ensuring that the patient maintains a correct posture during training.

[0062] Combination Figure 2 As shown, after the patient's mandible is placed stably, the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 12 can be put into the mouth, and the staff can start the drive motor 6 again through the controller. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 drives the turntable 5 to rotate eccentrically, and the eccentric rotation of the turntable 5 drives the connecting rod 4 to move up and down, thereby driving the second rotating rod 2 to swing. At this time, the second rotating rod 2 drives the first rotating rod 3 to swing, and since the movable plate 12 and the fixed plate 11 slide vertically, the first rotating rod 3 pushes the movable plate 12 to slide up and down, thereby assisting the patient to complete the opening and closing training of the mouth.

[0063] When training the patient's cheek muscles, the controller can control the second solenoid valve 16 in the third air inlet to open, and the gas in the piston cylinder 9 enters the training airbag 13 through the air supply pipe 15. Since the training airbag 13 is located in the openings on both sides of the movable plate 12, it gradually expands with inflation to perform expansion and contraction training on the patient's cheeks. The gas in the training airbag 13 can be discharged by the controller opening the second solenoid valve 16 in the third air outlet.

[0064] Embodiment 2:

[0065] The difference from the above embodiment is that an elastic band (not shown in the figure) is bonded to the top of the frame 1 .

[0066] The specific implementation process is as follows: When patients undergo dysphagia rehabilitation training, they can fix elastic straps on their heads to reduce shaking and slipping of the head during training and improve the training effect.

[0067] Embodiment 3:

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that a spring 18 is screw-fixedly connected between the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 12 .

[0069] The specific implementation process is as follows: when the movable plate 12 slides up and down, the spring 18 can provide a buffer force for the sliding of the movable plate 12, thereby reducing the impact force of the movable plate 12 on the patient's mandible, and the spring 18 can improve the stability of the movable plate 12 during the sliding process.

[0070] Embodiment 4:

[0071] The difference from the above embodiment is that the top of the fixed plate 11 and the bottom of the movable plate 12 are both bonded with a flexible layer, and in this embodiment, the flexible layer is a medical silicone layer.

[0072] The specific implementation process is as follows: the medical silicone layer is in direct contact with the patient's teeth, which is beneficial to reduce the pressure of the movable plate 12 and the fixed plate 11 on the teeth during training and improve the patient's comfort during rehabilitation training.

[0073] Embodiment 5:

[0074] The difference from the above embodiment is that a protective shell (not shown in the figure) for protecting the driving motor 6, the rotating disk 5 and the connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the frame body 1 by screws.

[0075] The specific implementation process is as follows: the protective shell can effectively prevent external interference and accidental touch, ensure the safety and stability of the driving motor 6, the turntable 5 and the connecting rod 4, and extend their service life.

[0076] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
