DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application disclose a multifunctional oral exerciser and a control method for patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy.

[0044] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a multifunctional oral exerciser for head and neck radiotherapy patients includes an exerciser body 1. The exerciser body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 111 for receiving irritating liquid; and a freezing channel 14 is provided inside the exerciser body 1 for introducing freezing gas.

[0045] Pour a stimulating liquid, such as lemonade, into the receiving groove 111, and then place the exerciser body 1 into the patient's mouth. At this time, the patient's tongue can perform a tongue flicking action to achieve the effect of tongue exercise. In the process of the patient's tongue flicking, the stimulating liquid in the receiving groove 111 can drip onto the tongue below, achieving the effect of stimulating the taste buds.

[0046] After the exerciser body 1 is placed in the patient's body, refrigeration gas can be introduced into the refrigeration channel 14. The refrigeration gas can cool the exerciser body 1 and stimulate the patient's tongue through cold therapy.

[0047] This patent application can achieve the prevention and rehabilitation of oral complications, relieve the pain of radiotherapy patients, and solve the problem that existing medical devices have a single treatment function for oral complications caused by radiotherapy.

[0048] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the exerciser body 1 includes an exerciser front section 11 and an exerciser rear section 12; the accommodating groove 111 is provided on the exerciser front section 11, and the exerciser front section 11 and the exerciser rear section 12 are detachably connected; the freezing channel 14 includes a first freezing channel 141 and a second freezing channel 142, the first freezing channel 141 is provided on the exerciser front section 11, and the second freezing channel 142 is provided on the exerciser rear section 12; a freezing injection port 1212 is provided on the exerciser front section 11, and the freezing injection port 1212 is communicated with the second freezing channel 142, and the freezing injection port 1212 is used to be connected to a refrigeration device.

[0049] Specifically, the shape of the exerciser body 1 is a spoon as a whole, and the portion of the exerciser body 1 placed in the oral cavity is mainly the exerciser front section 11 , which is shaped like a spoon head.

[0050] One end of the rear section 12 of the exerciser is detachably arranged on the front section 11 of the exerciser, for example, the rear section 12 of the exerciser is screwed to the front section 11 or the rear section 12 of the exerciser is clamped to the front section 11 of the exerciser.

[0051] The freezing injection port 1212 is provided at one end of the rear section 12 of the exerciser away from the front section 11 of the exerciser. The freezing injection port 1212 can be connected to a refrigeration device, and the refrigeration device can introduce cold air into the freezing channel 14 through the freezing injection port 1212 .

[0052] Stimulant liquids are safe and harmless liquids, such as lemonade, which can stimulate the patient's taste buds and help relieve the patient's symptoms of loss of taste buds.

[0053] Before placing the front section 11 of the exerciser into the patient's mouth, first pour irritating liquid into the receiving groove 111 . After placing the front section 11 of the exerciser into the patient's mouth, the front section 11 of the exerciser will be located on the upper part of the patient's tongue.

[0054] The patient can use the tongue to push the front section 11 of the exerciser, thereby achieving the effect of tongue exercise.

[0055] As the tongue exerts force on the front section 11 of the exerciser, a small amount of stimulating liquid will spill out of the receiving groove 111 and fall onto the tongue, thereby stimulating the taste buds of the tongue.

[0056] As needed, after the front section 11 of the exerciser is placed in the patient's mouth, refrigerant gas can be introduced into the second refrigerant channel 142 through the refrigerant injection port 1212. The refrigerant gas will pass through the second refrigerant channel 142 and enter the first refrigerant channel 141, and cool down and freeze the front section 11 of the exerciser to perform cold therapy on the patient's tongue and stimulate the patient's tongue.

[0057] It should be noted that the first freezing channel 141 is located between the accommodating groove 111 and the outer surface of the front section 11 of the exerciser. The shape of the first freezing channel 141 is similar to that of the front section 11 of the exerciser and is also an arc-shaped spoon head, thereby increasing the contact area between the subsequent freezing gas entering the first freezing channel 141 and the front section 11 of the exerciser, thereby improving the efficiency of freezing the front section 11 of the exerciser.

[0058] Furthermore, to prevent the pressure in the freezing duct 14 from increasing due to the continuous delivery of cold air, which could cause the front section 11 of the exerciser to expand or be damaged, a pressure relief vent 1213 is provided on the front section 11 of the exerciser. The pressure relief vent 1213 communicates with the second freezing duct 142. The provision of the pressure relief vent 1213 effectively controls the pressure in the freezing duct 14 within a reasonable range, ensuring that the entire cold air delivery process remains relatively stable.

[0059] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the rear section 12 of the exerciser includes a plurality of exerciser connection units 121 , which are detachably connected. The second freezing channel 142 is composed of a plurality of second channel units 1421 , and each exerciser connection unit 121 is provided with a second channel unit 1421 .

[0060] Specifically, the function of the rear section 12 of the exerciser is to facilitate medical personnel to hold the rear section 12 of the exerciser and place the front section 11 of the exerciser into the patient's oral cavity.

[0061] Therefore, since the rear section 12 of the exerciser is detachably connected by a plurality of exerciser connecting units 121 , different numbers of exerciser connecting units 121 can be assembled as needed to adjust the total length of the rear section 12 of the exerciser.

[0062] There is no limitation on the detachable connection method between the exerciser connection units 121. The exerciser connection units 121 can be connected by screwing, clamping or other methods.

[0063] The following description is made using the screw connection method between the exerciser connection units 121 as an example:

[0064] The exerciser connection unit 121 is in the shape of a cylinder, and a first screw 1211 is provided at one end of the exerciser connection unit 121 .

[0065] The second channel unit 1421 is disposed on the central axis of the exerciser connection unit 121 , and a channel diameter of the second channel unit 1421 is smaller than a cross-sectional diameter of the first stud 1211 .

[0066] An inner wall of the second channel unit 1421 at one end facing away from the first stud 1211 is provided with an internal thread that can be threadedly connected to the first stud 1211 .

[0067] The first stud 1211 of the exerciser connection unit 121 can be screwed together with the internal thread on the adjacent exerciser connection unit 121 ; similarly, the internal thread of the exerciser connection unit 121 can also be screwed together with the first stud 1211 on the adjacent exerciser connection unit 121 .

[0068] The screw connection between the internal thread and the first stud 1211 can realize the screw connection between two adjacent exerciser connection units 121 , and can realize the communication between two adjacent second channel units 1421 to form the second freezing channel 142 .

[0069] The screw connection between the exerciser connecting unit 121 and the exerciser front section 11 can also realize the communication between the second freezing channel 142 and the first freezing channel 141 .

[0070] It should be noted that the pressure relief port 1213 can be provided on each exerciser connection unit 121, or can be provided only on some or a certain exerciser connection unit 121 as needed. In this embodiment, the pressure relief port 1213 is only provided on the exerciser connection unit 121 away from the front section 11 of the exerciser.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the exerciser body 1 includes an exerciser middle section 13 , which is detachably disposed between the exerciser front section 11 and the exerciser rear section 12 , and is used to support the patient's mouth.

[0072] Specifically, the middle section 13 of the exerciser is arranged between the front section 11 and the rear section 12 of the exerciser. When the front section 11 of the exerciser is placed into the oral cavity through the rear section 12 of the exerciser, the rear section 12 of the exerciser can be located between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. The rear section 12 of the exerciser supports the upper jaw and the lower jaw of the patient, thereby facilitating mouth opening exercises for patients during radiotherapy and avoiding complications of difficulty in opening the mouth in patients.

[0073] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the middle section 13 of the exerciser includes a plurality of support units 131 , and the plurality of support units 131 are detachably connected along the radial direction of the freezing channel 14 .

[0074] Specifically, the support unit 131 is in the shape of a cuboid, and the plurality of support units 131 are detachably connected. The support unit 131 can be detachably connected to the front section 11 of the exerciser, and the support unit 131 can be detachably connected to the rear section 12 of the exerciser.

[0075] Since the mouth opening state of patients may be different during different radiotherapy periods, the height of the middle section 13 of the exerciser should be adjusted according to the different radiotherapy periods of the patients (ie, the length of the middle section 13 of the exerciser along the radial direction of the freezing channel 14 should be adjusted).

[0076] The specific height adjustment method is to increase the height of the middle section 13 of the exerciser by connecting multiple support units 131 to each other in an upper and lower manner.

[0077] There is no limitation on the detachable connection method between adjacent support units 131 , and the support units 131 may be connected by screwing, clamping or other methods.

[0078] The following description will be made by taking the screw connection between adjacent support units 131 as an example:

[0079] The upper surface of the support unit 131 is provided with a second stud 132, and the lower surface is provided with a threaded hole. Adjacent support units 131 are screwed together between the second stud 132 and the threaded hole to achieve stacking, thereby facilitating adjustment of the height of the middle section 13 of the exerciser. This allows medical personnel to stack different numbers of support units 131 to support the patient's upper and lower jaws according to the patient's stage of radiotherapy.

[0080] Furthermore, the support unit 131 includes a main support unit 1311 and a plurality of auxiliary support units 1312. The auxiliary support units 1312 are detachably connected to the main support unit 1311, and adjacent auxiliary support units 1312 are detachably connected to each other. The auxiliary support units 1312 are used to adjust the height of the middle section 13 of the exerciser.

[0081] The freezing channel 14 includes a third freezing channel 143, which is arranged on the main support unit 1311. The main support unit 1311 is detachably connected to the front section 11 and the rear section 12 of the exerciser respectively. The third freezing channel 143 is connected to the first freezing channel 141 and the second freezing channel 142.

[0082] Specifically, the upper and lower surfaces of the main support unit 1311 and the auxiliary support unit 1312 are both provided with second studs 132 and threaded holes.

[0083] According to different stages of treatment for a patient, auxiliary support units 1312 may be assembled on the upper and lower surfaces of the main support unit 1311 to adjust the height of the middle section 13 of the exerciser.

[0084] A third stud 1311a is provided on one side of the main support unit 1311, and the third freezing channel 143 is coaxially arranged with the third stud 1311a, and the diameter of the third freezing channel 143 is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the cross section of the third stud 1311a, and the inner wall of the end of the third freezing channel 143 away from the third stud 1311a is provided with an internal thread that can be screwed to the third stud 1311a.

[0085] To reduce costs, achieve uniformity, and facilitate assembly and disassembly, the third stud 1311a can be screwed to the front section 11 of the exerciser, and the internal thread at the other end of the third freezing channel 143 can also be screwed to the first stud 1211. At the same time, the channel diameters of the second freezing channel 142 and the third freezing channel 143 are set to be the same.

[0086] It should be noted that, in addition to assembling multiple auxiliary support units 1312 on the main support unit 1311 to adjust the height of the middle section 13 of the exerciser, the present application can also set up a variety of different main support units 1311, thereby adjusting the height of the middle section 13 of the exerciser, so that the middle section 13 of the exerciser can adapt to the mouth opening exercise of patients in different radiotherapy periods.

[0087] like Figure 5 As shown, the support unit 131 further includes a protection support unit 1313 , which is configured to be detachably connected to the main support unit 1311 or the auxiliary support unit 1312 .

[0088] Specifically, two protection support units 1313 are provided, one of the protection support units 1313 is provided with the second screw 132 , and the other protection support unit 1313 is provided with a threaded hole.

[0089] Since the middle section 13 of the exerciser is to support the patient's upper jaw and lower jaw, the protective support unit 1313 is set on the main support unit 1311 or the outermost auxiliary support unit 1312, which can protect the patient's upper jaw or lower jaw from being scratched by the second stud 132 or the teeth from being embedded in the threaded hole, thereby improving the patient's comfort.

[0090] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of stimulating protrusions 112 are provided on the front section 11 of the exerciser, and the stimulating protrusions 112 are used to stimulate the tongue.

[0091] Specifically, the plurality of stimulating protrusions 112 are arranged on the arc-shaped outer surface of the exerciser front section 11, and when the exerciser front section 11 is placed in the patient's oral cavity, the stimulating protrusions 112 can be in contact with the patient's tongue, and can play a role of massaging and stimulating the tongue.

[0092] The exerciser front section 11 is an elastic exerciser front section.

[0093] Specifically, the material of the exerciser front section 11 is selected to be an elastic material, and after the patient's tongue pushes the exerciser front section 11, the exerciser front section 11 can be restored to its original shape in time, facilitating the patient to perform the tongue stretching operation to achieve the purpose of tongue exercise.

[0094] As shown in Figure 6 A control method of a multifunctional oral exerciser for head and neck radiotherapy patients, applied to the multifunctional oral exerciser for head and neck radiotherapy patients as any of the above, the method comprises:

[0095] S100, selecting an exerciser rear section 12 of a required length and an exerciser middle section 13 of a required height.

[0096] Specifically, in order to place the exerciser front section 11 into the patient's oral cavity, a medical staff needs to hold the exerciser rear section 12 for control. Therefore, the length of the exerciser rear section 12 can be adjusted according to the shape or size of the hand of different medical staff, which can improve the stability of the exerciser front section 11 after being placed in the oral cavity.

[0097] The specific adjustment of the length of the exerciser rear section 12 can be achieved by splicing different numbers of exerciser connecting units 121 as needed, which is convenient and fast to operate.

[0098] Since the mouth opening state of patients at different radiotherapy stages is different, a plurality of exerciser middle sections 13 of different heights can be provided, and the exerciser middle section 13 of an appropriate height can be selected according to the patient at different radiotherapy stages, so as to achieve a better treatment state.

[0099] S200, assembling the exerciser body 1 and pouring stimulating liquid into the containing groove 111.

[0100] Specifically, the exerciser front section 11, the exerciser middle section 13 and the exerciser front section 11 are connected in sequence to form a complete exerciser body 1, and the first frozen channel 141, the third frozen channel 143 and the second frozen channel 142 are also communicated in sequence to form a complete frozen channel 14.

[0101] Then, stimulating liquid such as lemonade is poured into the containing groove 111, and the subsequent preparation for placing the exerciser front section 11 into the patient's oral cavity is completed.

[0102] S300 , placing the front section 11 of the exerciser into the patient's oral cavity, and supporting the middle section 13 of the exerciser between the patient's upper jaw and lower jaw.

[0103] Specifically, the medical staff controls the rear section 12 of the exerciser to place the front section 11 of the exerciser into the patient's mouth, with the front section 11 located above the patient's tongue, and the middle section 13 of the exerciser located between the upper jaw and the lower jaw.

[0104] It is convenient for medical staff to guide patients to perform follow-up treatments such as tongue exercises, tongue stimulation and mouth opening exercises.

[0105] S400 , introducing refrigeration gas into the refrigeration channel 14 .

[0106] Specifically, according to actual needs, when stimulating the patient's tongue, medical staff can introduce refrigeration gas into the freezing channel 14 to perform cold therapy on the patient's tongue to achieve further tongue stimulation.

[0107] In summary, a multifunctional oral exerciser for head and neck radiotherapy patients includes an exerciser body 1. The exerciser body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 111 for receiving an irritating liquid and a freezing channel 14 for introducing freezing gas.

[0108] Pour a stimulating liquid, such as lemonade, into the receiving groove 111, and then place the exerciser body 1 into the patient's mouth. At this time, the patient's tongue can perform a tongue flicking action to achieve the effect of tongue exercise. In the process of the patient's tongue flicking, the stimulating liquid in the receiving groove 111 can drip onto the tongue below, achieving the effect of stimulating the taste buds.

[0109] After the exerciser body 1 is placed in the patient's body, refrigeration gas can be introduced into the refrigeration channel 14. The refrigeration gas can cool the exerciser body 1 and stimulate the patient's tongue through cold therapy.
