DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] See also Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment of the utility model, a tongue muscle trainer with an adjustment function includes an airbag 1, the upper end of the airbag 1 is detachably connected with an adsorption sleeve 2 for adsorbing the tongue, and the adsorption sleeve 2 is connected to the airbag 1. Specifically, the upper end of the airbag 1 is provided with a snap-on protrusion extending upward, and the lower end of the adsorption sleeve 2 is provided with a snap-on groove corresponding to the snap-on protrusion. More specifically, a lower connecting channel 4 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the airbag 1, and an upper connecting channel 5 is provided inside the adsorption sleeve 2. The airbag 1 and the adsorption sleeve 2 are connected to each other through the upper connecting channel 5 and the lower connecting channel 4;
[0024] The inside of the airbag 1 is detachably connected with an adjustment structure 6. Specifically, a sealing plug 3 is clamped at the lower end of the airbag 1, and the adjustment structure 6 is fixed inside the sealing plug 3. The sealing plug 3 is made of rubber material. More specifically, a circular opening is opened at the lower end of the airbag 1, and the inner diameter of the circular opening is smaller than the sealing plug 3. Therefore, when the sealing plug 3 is inserted into the circular opening, the sealing plug 3 is in close contact with the airbag 1, thereby preventing the airbag 1 from leaking.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 5 The regulating structure 6 includes a tube body 600, and the tube body 600 penetrates the sealing plug 3. Specifically, the lower end of the tube body 600 is located outside the airbag 1, and a pressure relief channel 611 is opened inside the tube body 600. The pressure inside the airbag 1 can be controlled by the pressure relief channel 611. The pressure relief rod 612 is slidably connected to the inside of the pressure relief channel 611. The lower end of the pressure relief rod 612 is located outside the tube body 600, and the lower end of the pressure relief rod 612 is located outside the tube body 600 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 614. Specifically, the outer diameter of the pressure relief rod 612 is smaller than the pressure relief channel 611. The upper end of the pressure relief rod 612 is fixedly connected with a pressure relief head 613, the upper end of the tube body 600 is provided with a pressure relief port adapted to the pressure relief head 613, and the pressure relief head 613 is located in the pressure relief port, and the inner diameter of the pressure relief port is larger than the inner diameter of the pressure relief channel 611. Specifically, the pressure relief head 613 is made of rubber material, and the outer diameter of the pressure relief head 613 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the pressure relief port. Specifically, the inner diameter of the pressure relief port is 0.7 mm, and the outer diameter of the pressure relief head 613 is 0.75 mm. In this way, the pressure relief head 613 can seal the pressure relief port more tightly;
[0026] In order to ensure that the pressure relief rod 612 can be normally reset after lifting the pressure relief head 613, a reset chamber 615 is opened inside the tube body 600, and a reset spring 616 for reset is installed inside the reset chamber 615. The reset spring 616 is sleeved on the outside of the pressure relief rod 612. Specifically, a limit plate 617 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pressure relief rod 612, and the limit plate 617 is located in the reset chamber 615, and the reset spring 616 is located at the upper end of the limit plate 617;
[0027] When in use, the airbag 1 is squeezed and then the suction sleeve 2 is put on the tongue. Then, the pressure relief head 613 is separated from the pressure relief port by pushing the pressure relief rod 612, so that the outside air enters the airbag 1. In this way, the air pressure inside the airbag 1 can be adjusted to prevent the suction sleeve 2 from adsorbing the tongue too much and affecting the user's experience. After the suction sleeve 2 adsorbs the tongue, the patient can control the movement of the tongue by twisting the airbag 1, thereby completing the training of the tongue muscles and increasing the recovery of the tongue.
[0028] Embodiment 2:
[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 , 3 , 4, 5, and 6, combined with the basis of Example 1, the difference is that a limiting plate 603 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the outer wall of the tube body 600, and a spring piece 604 for supporting the limiting plate 603 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tube body 600 at the rotation connection between the limiting plate 603 and the tube body 600, and the spring piece 604 is set in a "V" shape. In order to facilitate the storage of the limiting plate 603, a storage groove 602 for storing the limiting plate 603 is symmetrically opened on the outside of the tube body 600, and the storage groove 602 A self-locking buckle groove 605 is also provided inside the self-locking buckle groove 605, and a self-locking lock body is provided in the self-locking buckle groove 605. The self-locking lock body is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here. The end of the limiting plate 603 close to the tube body 600 is fixedly connected with a self-locking lock tongue 606. When the self-locking lock tongue 606 is inserted into the self-locking lock body, it will be locked. When the limiting plate 603 is pressed again, the self-locking lock tongue 606 will move a short distance into the self-locking lock body. At this time, the limiting plate 603 is released and the self-locking lock tongue 606 will be separated from the self-locking lock body. This method is a prior art.
[0030] The outer wall of the tube body 600 is rotatably connected with a threaded tube 601, and the threaded tube 601 is slidably connected with the pressure relief rod 612. For details, please refer to Figure 5 A limit slide groove 618 is provided on the inner wall of the threaded tube 601, a limit slide block 619 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pressure relief rod 612, and the limit slide block 619 is located in the limit slide groove 618;
[0031] The external thread of the threaded tube 601 is connected with a threaded sleeve 607, and a limiting plate 608 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 607, and the limiting plate 608 is set in an "L" shape. In order to ensure that the limiting plate 608 can slide outside the tube body 600, a limiting head 609 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate 608, and a limiting track groove 620 for limiting the limiting plate 608 is symmetrically opened on the outer wall of the tube body 600, and the limiting track groove 620 is set in an "L" shape. A track rod 610 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 608, and the track rod 610 is slidably connected to the limiting track groove 620.
[0032] When in use, the pressure relief rod 612 is rotated to drive the threaded tube 601 to rotate. When the threaded tube 601 rotates, the limiting plate 608 is driven to rotate together through the threaded sleeve 607. When the limiting plate 608 rotates from the horizontal area of the limiting track groove 620 to the vertical area, it cannot rotate anymore. At this time, the limiting head 609 stays between the limiting plate 603 and the tube body 600. Continuing to rotate the threaded tube 601 can drive the limiting plate 608 to move upward, thereby moving the limiting head 609 upward. The closer the limiting head 609 is to the connection between the limiting plate 603 and the tube body 600, the smaller the range in which the limiting plate 603 can rotate toward the tube body 600. In this way, the range in which the airbag 1 is compressed can be adjusted, thereby controlling the internal negative pressure of the airbag 1.
[0033] Specifically, when the airbag 1 is completely flattened and then the suction sleeve 2 is put on the tongue, the negative pressure of the airbag 1 is too large, causing the suction sleeve 2 to adsorb the tongue too tightly, causing discomfort to the patient. At this time, the user will take off the suction sleeve 2 and squeeze the airbag 1 again (the airbag 1 will not be completely flattened at this time). Only after repeated operations can the appropriate negative pressure in the airbag 1, that is, the strength of the suction sleeve 2 adsorbing the tongue, be found. When it is used again next time, it is necessary to find the appropriate adsorption strength again.
[0034] Through the setting of the limiting plate 603, when the appropriate adsorption force is found, the adsorption sleeve 2 is removed, and then the threaded tube 601 is rotated to drive the limiting plate 608 to move upward. When the limiting head 609 presses against the limiting plate 603, the airbag 1 is released (the hand that presses the limiting head 609 against the limiting plate 603 to squeeze the airbag 1 will feel the thrust). At this time, when the airbag 1 is squeezed again, the airbag 1 will touch the limiting plate 603 when being squeezed, and because the limiting plate 603 is blocked by the limiting head 609 and cannot approach the direction of the tube body 600, the airbag 1 can only be squeezed to a limited position. In this way, the squeezing stroke of the airbag 1 can be controlled (that is, the degree to which the airbag 1 is flattened can be controlled), thereby avoiding the patient from repeatedly adjusting the negative pressure of the airbag 1.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
