Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of swallowing function rehabilitation training devices, specifically an intelligent training device for swallowing function rehabilitation in patients with cerebral infarction. Background Technology

[0002] Cerebral infarction is one of the main causes of dysphagia. Patients often experience difficulty eating, choking, and other symptoms, which seriously affect their nutritional intake and quality of life. It may also lead to complications such as aspiration pneumonia. Traditional dysphagia rehabilitation training relies on one-on-one guidance from rehabilitation therapists, which suffers from problems such as uneven distribution of resources, insufficient training intensity, and strong subjectivity in effect evaluation. With the integration of rehabilitation medicine and intelligent technology, intelligent training devices have emerged. Through standardized training procedures, real-time data monitoring, and personalized program adjustments, they can overcome the limitations of traditional training and meet the needs of clinical rehabilitation.

[0003] In existing technologies, stroke patients often experience decreased coordination of swallowing muscles due to central nervous system damage. During swallowing rehabilitation training, their head and neck postures are unstable and their jaws are prone to displacement, further exacerbating swallowing disorder and affecting the training effect. Traditional rehabilitation training lacks targeted head and neck fixation devices, relying solely on the patient's own posture maintenance or the assistance of caregivers. This makes it difficult to adapt to the differences in head and neck contours among different patients (such as different neck lengths, jaw shapes, and head tilt angles), resulting in poor consistency of movements and deviations in muscle force direction during training, thus reducing the effectiveness of precise rehabilitation training for patients.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an intelligent training device for the rehabilitation of swallowing function in patients with cerebral infarction, in order to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent training device for the rehabilitation of swallowing function in patients with cerebral infarction, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that traditional rehabilitation training lacks a targeted head and neck fixation device and is difficult to adapt to the differences in head and neck contours of different patients.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent training device for the rehabilitation of swallowing function in patients with cerebral infarction, comprising a collar and a connecting plate. An adjustment box is fixedly installed between the outer walls of the collar and one side. A drive motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the adjustment box. A drive rod is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the drive motor, and the outer wall of the drive rod is movably inserted into the interior of the adjustment box. A gear is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive rod. A gear rack is meshed with the outer wall of the gear and the outer wall of the gear rack is movably inserted into the bottom of the adjustment box. A connecting column is fixedly installed on the top of the gear rack. A cover plate is fixedly installed on the top of the adjustment box. A rectangular hole is opened on the top of the cover plate, and the outer wall of the gear rack is movably inserted into the rectangular hole. An adjustment box is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting column. Two first limiting grooves are opened on the inner surface of the adjustment box. A first sliding block is movably embedded in the inner surface of each of the two first limiting grooves. A connecting block is fixedly installed between the outer walls of the two first sliding blocks and one side.

[0007] Preferably, a screw with a handle is threaded to one side of the outer wall of the adjustment box, and the outer wall of the screw with the handle is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting block, and a chin rest is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting block.

[0008] Preferably, a mounting block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the toothed rack, and a strip groove is formed at the top of the connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a compression spring is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the strip groove, and a T-shaped insert is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the compression spring. The outer wall of the T-shaped insert is movably embedded in the inside of the strip groove, and the outer wall of the T-shaped insert is movably inserted into the inside of the mounting block.

[0010] Preferably, a handle-type pull rod is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the T-shaped insert, and the outer wall of the handle-type pull rod is movably inserted into the interior of the connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate, and two fixing cylinders are fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped plate.

[0012] Preferably, a small electric push rod is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of each of the two fixed cylinders, and two second limiting grooves are opened on the inner surface of each of the two fixed cylinders.

[0013] Preferably, the output ends of both of the small electric actuators are fixedly mounted with a fixing post.

[0014] Preferably, two second sliding blocks are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both fixed columns, and the outer walls of the four second sliding blocks are movably embedded inside the four second limiting grooves.

[0015] Preferably, the inner surfaces of the two fixed columns are threaded with connecting studs, and a massage head is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of each of the two connecting studs.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. When the collar is placed around the patient's neck, its adjustment box is located at the patient's chin. Then, the drive motor is started, which drives the drive rod and gear to rotate, thereby moving the gear rack up and down inside the adjustment box. This, in turn, moves the connecting column up and down along the rectangular hole, thus moving the adjustment box and the chin to a suitable height to accommodate the chin support of different patients. Then, through the action of the two first limiting grooves, the two first sliding blocks, and the connecting block, the handle screw is rotated, which drives the connecting block and the chin to move back and forth, further adapting to the different needs of different patients for chin support, thus improving the effect of swallowing function rehabilitation training for stroke patients.

[0017] 2. By moving the handle rod, the T-shaped insert block moves within the slot, simultaneously compressing the spring. When the mounting block is within the slot, release the handle rod. Under the action of the spring, the T-shaped insert block moves and passes through the mounting block, allowing the connecting plate and adjustment box to be installed together. At this point, the two fixed cylinders are positioned in front of the patient's throat. Activate the two small electric push rods. Under the action of the four second limit slots and four second sliding blocks, the two fixed columns, two connecting studs, and two massage heads vibrate back and forth, providing directional vibration stimulation to the muscles and nerves of the patient's throat, helping to improve muscle tension and further enhancing the rehabilitation training effect on the patient's swallowing function.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-7 This invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent training device for swallowing function rehabilitation in patients with cerebral infarction, comprising a collar 1 and a connecting plate 2. An adjustment box 3 is fixedly installed between the outer walls of the collar 1 and one side. A drive motor 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the adjustment box 3. A drive rod 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the drive motor 4, and the outer wall of the drive rod 5 is movably inserted into the interior of the adjustment box 3. A gear 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive rod 5. A gear rack 7 is meshed with the outer wall of the gear 6, and the outer wall of the gear rack 7 is movably inserted into the bottom of the adjustment box 3. A connecting column 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the gear rack 7. The top of the adjustment box 3 is fixedly equipped with... The device is equipped with a cover plate 9, the top of which has a rectangular hole 10. The outer wall of the toothed rack 7 is movably inserted into the rectangular hole 10. An adjustment box 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting column 8. The inner wall of the adjustment box 11 has two first limiting grooves 12. The inner wall of each of the two first limiting grooves 12 is movably embedded with a first sliding block 13. A connecting block 14 is fixedly installed between the outer walls of the two first sliding blocks 13. A screw rod 15 with a handle is threadedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the adjustment box 11. The outer wall of the screw rod 15 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting block 14. A chin rest 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting block 14.

[0022] In this embodiment, the drive motor 4 inside the adjustment box 3 and the small electric push rods 24 inside the two fixed cylinders 23 are all started and stopped by external control buttons, and all have a self-locking function. When rehabilitation training of the swallowing function of a stroke patient is required, the collar 1 is placed around the neck of the stroke patient. The tightness of the collar 1 can be adjusted until the adjustment box 3 installed on the collar 1 is located at the chin of the stroke patient. Since the head and neck posture of different stroke patients is unstable during training, and the chin height and forward tilt of different patients are different, at this time... The drive motor 4, installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the regulating box 3, can be started via an external control button, causing the drive rod 5 to rotate inside the regulating box 3. A gear 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive rod 5, and the outer wall of the gear 6 meshes with a gear rack 7. The bottom outer wall of the gear rack 7 is movably inserted into the bottom of the regulating box 3, thus allowing the gear rack 7 to move stably up and down. Because the drive motor 4 has a self-locking function, it can be moved to a specified height, providing adjustability. Furthermore, a connecting column 8 is installed on the top of the gear rack 7, connecting... The connecting post 8 is movably inserted into the rectangular hole 10 opened at the top of the cover plate 9. The area of ​​the rectangular hole 10 is smaller than the area of ​​the toothed rack 7, so the toothed rack 7 will not move out of the adjustment box 3. Then, by moving the toothed rack 7 up and down, the connecting post 8 and the adjustment box 11 installed on its top can be moved up and down until the mandibular support 16 is moved to a suitable height for supporting the mandible of a stroke patient. Then, because there are two first limiting grooves 12 opened on the inner surface of the adjustment box 11, and first sliding blocks 13 are movably embedded in the inner surface of the two first limiting grooves 12, the mandibular support 16... The connecting block 14 installed at the bottom is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the two first sliding blocks 13, and the screw 15 with handle rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the connecting block 14 is threadedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the adjustment box 11. Thus, by rotating the screw 15 with handle, the connecting block 14 and the chin support 16 can be moved along the adjustment box 11, and the chin support 16 can be moved to a position suitable for the chin support of stroke patients. By adjustment, it can adapt to the chin support needs of different stroke patients, and improve the training effect of swallowing function rehabilitation for stroke patients.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 and Figure 6 as well as Figure 7As shown, a mounting block 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the toothed rack 7. A strip groove 18 is opened at the top of the connecting plate 2. A compression spring 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the strip groove 18. A T-shaped insert 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the compression spring 19. The outer wall of the T-shaped insert 20 is movably embedded in the inside of the strip groove 18 and movably inserted into the inside of the mounting block 17. A handle-type pull rod 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the T-shaped insert 20. The outer wall of the handle-type pull rod 21 is movably inserted into the inside of the connecting plate 2. An L-shaped plate 22 is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting plate 2. Two fixed cylinders 23 are fixedly installed on the top. Small electric push rods 24 are fixedly installed on the bottom inner walls of the two fixed cylinders 23. Two second limiting grooves 25 are opened on the inner surface of the two fixed cylinders 23. Fixed posts 26 are fixedly installed at the output ends of the two small electric push rods 24. Two second sliding blocks 27 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the two fixed posts 26. The outer surface of the four second sliding blocks 27 are movably embedded in the four second limiting grooves 25. Connecting studs 28 are threadedly connected to the inner surface of the two fixed posts 26. Massage heads 29 are fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the two connecting studs 28.

[0024] In this embodiment, when a stroke patient undergoes swallowing function rehabilitation training, stimulation of the throat muscles is also crucial. A mounting block 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the toothed rack 7, and this mounting block 17 has an insertion hole. A strip groove 18 is provided at the top of the connecting plate 2, and a compression spring 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the strip groove 18. A pull rod 21 with a handle passes through the compression spring 19 and is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the T-shaped insert 20. The outer wall of the T-shaped insert 20 is movably embedded inside the strip groove 18, thereby allowing the pull rod to move. Pulling the lever 21 moves the T-shaped insert 20 to one side and compresses the compression spring 19. At this point, the connecting plate 2 contacts the bottom of the adjusting box 3, and the mounting block 17 installed at the bottom of the toothed rack 7 is positioned within the slot 18. Then, releasing the lever 21 causes the T-shaped insert 20 to move along the slot 18 under the action of the compression spring 19, passing through the mounting block 17 and simultaneously inserting into the connecting plate 2. This limits the mounting block 17 within the slot 18. Furthermore, because an L-shaped plate 22 is installed on the top of the connecting plate 2, its L-shaped plate 2... Two fixing cylinders 23 are installed on the top of the 2. At this time, the two fixing cylinders 23 are located at the front of the pharynx of the stroke patient. When the height of the mandibular support 16 is adjusted, the connecting plate 2 and the two fixing cylinders 23 are also located at a suitable position at the front of the patient's pharynx, which is synchronous. Then, the small electric push rod 24 installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the two fixing cylinders 23 can be activated by the external control button. Since two second limiting grooves 25 are opened on the inner surface of the two fixing cylinders 23, and the four second sliding blocks 27 installed on the outer surface of the two fixing columns 26 are all movable. The device is embedded in four second limiting grooves 25, which can drive the two fixed posts 26, the two connecting studs 28, and the massage head 29 to vibrate stably back and forth. The two massage heads 29 are threaded to the inside of the two fixed posts 26 through the two connecting studs 28. In other words, the appropriate massage head 29 can be selected according to the needs of the stroke patient, so as to provide directional vibration stimulation to the pharyngeal muscles and nerves of the stroke patient, help improve muscle tension, and further improve the effect of swallowing function rehabilitation training for stroke patients.

[0025] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: First, according to the needs of the stroke patient, the collar 1 with the adjustment box 3 is fixed on the patient's neck. Then, according to the length of the stroke patient's neck and the position of the chin, the drive motor 4 is started via the external control button, causing it to drive the drive rod 5 and gear 6 to rotate. This causes the gear rack 7 to move upward along the bottom of the adjustment box 3. Since a connecting post 8 is installed on the top of the gear rack 7, and the outer wall of the connecting post 8 is movably inserted into the rectangular hole 10 opened on the top of the cover plate 9, the connecting post 8, the adjustment box 11, and the chin support 16 can be moved to a suitable height according to the needs of the stroke patient. Then, the screw with handle 15 is rotated. Because the screw with handle 15 is adjusted... One end of the junction box 11 is rotatably connected to a connecting block 14, and two first sliding blocks 13 mounted on the outer wall of the connecting block 14 are movably embedded in the two first limiting grooves 12. Thus, by rotating the screw with handle 15, the connecting block 14 can be moved stably back and forth along the adjusting box 11 until the connecting block 14 and the mandibular support 16 are moved to the designated position, allowing the mandible of the stroke patient to be supported. Adjustment can accommodate different patients' mandibular support needs, which helps improve the efficiency of swallowing function rehabilitation for stroke patients. Furthermore, when stroke patients are undergoing rehabilitation training using the swallowing function rehabilitation training device, muscle stimulation in the throat area is particularly important and can be used according to the patient's needs. Because in the teeth... A mounting block 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of row 7. When adjusting the height of the mandibular support 16, the bottom of row 7 and mounting block 17 are always outside the bottom of the adjustment box 3. At this time, the handle rod 21 moves along the connecting plate 2, driving the T-shaped insert 20 to move within the connecting plate 2 and the slot 18, while simultaneously compressing the compression spring 19. Then, the mounting block 17 is positioned within the slot 18. Releasing the handle rod 21 allows the T-shaped insert 20 to move under the action of the compression spring 19, passing through the mounting block 17 and inserting into the connecting plate 2. This connects the connecting plate 2 with row 7 and mounting block 17. At this time, the front ends of the two fixing cylinders 23 are precisely located at the front end of the throat of the stroke patient. Next, the two small electric push rods 24 are activated via the external control button. Since the four second sliding blocks 27 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the two fixed columns 26 are movably embedded in the four second limiting grooves 25, the extension and retraction of the two small electric push rods 24 can drive the two fixed columns 26, the two connecting studs 28, and the two massage heads 29 to vibrate stably back and forth, so as to provide directional vibration stimulation to the muscles and nerves of the pharynx of stroke patients, and help improve muscle tension. In general, when performing swallowing function rehabilitation training for stroke patients, adjusting the height and position of the mandibular support 16 and the vibration stimulation massage of the pharynx can help improve the effect of swallowing function rehabilitation training for stroke patients.

[0026] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
