[0023] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a feeding posture training and adjustment device for patients with dysphagia includes a neck collar 1, a reel 101 is fixedly installed on both sides of the neck collar 1, and a restraint belt 102 is provided below the reel 101. A telescopic rod 2 is fixedly installed on both sides of the neck collar 1, and the restraint belts 102 below the reel 101 are fitted together;

[0025] Specifically, through this arrangement, since the appropriate head tilt angle and feeding posture help reduce the risk of aspiration, the neck of the dysphagia patient is placed against the neck support 1, and then the restraint belt 102 is pulled out from the reel 101. Since the restraint belts 102 are fitted together, they support the lower jaw of the dysphagia patient when they are fitted together. The reel 101 supports and limits the patient's neck and the restraint belt 102 supports and limits the patient's lower jaw, thereby limiting the appropriate posture of the dysphagia patient when feeding so as to conduct feeding posture training, thereby preventing aspiration caused by changes in posture during feeding.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, connecting rods 3 are embedded and installed on both sides of the telescopic rod 2, and support rods 4 are provided on one side of the connecting rod 3, and the support rods 4 are movably connected to the connecting rods 3, and adjusting slide knobs 401 are embedded and installed on one side of the support rods 4, and fixing devices 5 are provided below the connecting rods 3 and the support rods 4, and connecting shafts 501 are provided above the fixing devices 5, and embedded rods are fixedly installed below the connecting shafts 501, and the connecting shafts 501 are embedded and movably connected with the connecting rods 3 and the support rods 4 below, and mounting holes 502 are provided above the fixing devices 5, and the mounting holes 502 are embedded and connected with the embedded rods below the connecting shafts 501, and clips 7 are provided below the fixing devices 5, and the clips 7 are embedded and movably connected with the knobs 6;

[0027] Specifically, through this arrangement, when installing, the support height and angle with the connecting rod 3 are adjusted through the support rod 4, and the fixer 5 is inserted into the armrests on both sides of the armrest seat, and the clamp 7 is moved under the fixer 5 by adjusting the knob 6, so that the clamp 7 is moved toward the inner side of the fixer 5 to clamp the seat armrest, and then the position of the connecting rod 3 and the support rod 4 is fixed. Since the fixer 5 is provided with a mounting hole 502, and the mounting hole 502 is engaged with the embedded rod under the connecting shaft 501, and since the telescopic rod 2 is a telescopic setting, when the distance between the connecting rod 3 and the support rod 4 on both sides of the neck support 1 is too long, the telescopic rod 2 is extended to adjust the installation distance. When it is inconvenient for the patient to sit and eat, the fixer 5 is removed and replaced with a matching fixing plate or other fixings, so as to facilitate installation and use in beds and chairs.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, one side of the connecting rod 3 is evenly spaced with adjustment holes 301, one side of the connecting rod 3 is provided with an adjustment groove 302, and the adjustment slide button 401 and the adjustment groove 302 are arranged in an inlaid sliding manner, the adjustment slide button 401 and the adjustment hole 301 are arranged in an inlaid connection, the inner side of the fixture 5 is movably mounted with a knob 6, both sides of the knob 6 are provided with a balance bar 503, and the balance bar 503 is fixedly connected to the fixture 5;

[0029] Specifically, through this arrangement, since the adjustment slide button 401 and the adjustment hole 301 are interlockingly arranged, when adjusting the support height and angle of the support rod 4 and the connecting rod 3, the adjustment slide button 401 is pressed to make the support rod 4 slide to a suitable position in the adjustment groove 302. When the position is adjusted, the adjustment slide button 401 rebounds and interlocks with the adjustment hole 301, thereby fixing the support rod 4 and the connecting rod 3 for support. Secondly, when adjusting the clamping distance between the clip 7 and the fixer 5, the knob 6 is rotated to make the clip 7 slide on the balance rod 503 under the fixer 5, thereby making the clip 7 and the fixer 5 clamp and fix the seat armrest.

[0030] It should be noted that when using the utility model as a feeding posture training and adjustment device for patients with swallowing disorders, first adjust the support height and angle of the connecting rod 3 through the support rod 4.

When the position is adjusted, the adjustment slide button 401 rebounds and interlocks with the adjustment hole 301, thereby fixing the support rod 4 and the connecting rod 3 for support. The armrests on both sides of the armrest seat are inserted through the fixer 5, and the clip 7 is moved under the fixer 5 by the adjustment knob 6. The clip 7 is slid on the balance bar 503 under the fixer 5 by rotating the knob 6, so that the clip 7 and the fixer 5 clamp and fix the seat armrest, thereby adjusting the connecting rod 3. The position of the neck support 1 is fixed by the fixing device 5 and the supporting rod 4. Since the fixing device 5 is provided with a mounting hole 502, and the mounting hole 502 is engaged with the embedded rod under the connecting shaft 501, and since the telescopic rod 2 is telescopically arranged, when the distance between the connecting rod 3 and the supporting rod 4 on both sides of the neck support 1 is too long, the telescopic rod 2 is extended and retracted to adjust the installation distance. When it is inconvenient for the patient to eat while sitting, the fixing device 5 is removed and replaced with a matching fixing plate or other fixing parts. When in use, the neck of the patient with dysphagia is placed against the neck support 1, and then the restraint belt 102 is pulled out from the reel 101. Since the restraint belts 102 are fitted together, when the restraint belts 102 are fitted together, the lower jaw of the patient with dysphagia is supported. The reel 101 supports and limits the patient's neck and the restraint belt 102 supports and limits the patient's lower jaw, thereby limiting the appropriate posture of the patient with dysphagia when eating.
