Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rehabilitation nursing, in particular to a pharyngeal stimulation device. Background Art

[0002] Dysphagia refers to difficulty in swallowing caused by various reasons and occurring in different parts of the body. Dysphagia can affect food intake and nutrient absorption, and can also lead to accidental inhalation of food into the trachea, causing aspiration pneumonia. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening. The primary disease causing dysphagia should be found and treated according to the cause. The swallowing and speech disorders caused by nerve damage, muscle damage, radiation damage, etc. are mainly manifested as sensory and motor disorders in the oropharynx and throat. In order to improve the patient's functional impairment, it is necessary to stimulate the affected part so that the nervous system, transmission system and its control system can achieve the purpose of recovery under repeated stimulation. Rehabilitation training for patients with dysphagia is a necessary measure to improve neurological dysphagia.

[0003] The existing pharyngeal stimulation devices generally use cotton swabs soaked in ice water to stimulate the pharynx, including the anterior and posterior palatal arches, soft palate, and posterior pharyngeal wall, with the range as large as possible, to promote the recovery of the patient's swallowing function. The existing technology uses popsicles to perform cold stimulation on the parts that need cold stimulation. Cold stimulation can increase the sensitivity of the central nervous system to the swallowing function, and increase the swallowing awareness by increasing the mouth and feeling of entering the body. However, in actual use, since the popsicles and the pressing tablets cannot be fixed and limited, when the medical staff use them, the popsicles will be skewed when they touch the oral cavity, thereby increasing the difficulty of operation for the medical staff and lacking certain practicality.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0029] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] Ice stimulation therapy refers to having the patient lie in a head-high, feet-low, or semi-recumbent position, with the patient's mouth opened as wide as possible to fully expose the pharynx. Medical staff then use a cotton swab soaked in ice water to stimulate the pharynx, covering the anterior and posterior palatal arches, soft palate, and posterior pharyngeal wall as wide as possible, in order to promote the recovery of the patient's swallowing function.

[0031] In the related art, the pharyngeal stimulation does not have a high stability effect, and generally the connection between the popsicle and the pressing plate can only be achieved through a column connection. During use, the position of the popsicle and the pressing plate cannot be limited, which has certain limitations.

[0032] In order to solve the problems in the related art to a certain extent, an embodiment of the present application provides a pharyngeal stimulation device. When it is needed, it is only necessary to pull the rod body 23. By adjusting the limit block 27 to different positions, the limiting effect of the popsicle 13 and the pressing piece 15 can be achieved, which is more convenient and quick, and improves the stability of the device when used.

[0033] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0034] Combination Figure 1-Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a pharyngeal stimulation device, including a main body component 1; the main body component 1 includes: a U-shaped block 11 is provided with a connecting block 12, a popsicle 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting block 12, a connecting block 2 14 is provided on the U-shaped block 11, a pressing sheet 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting block 2 14, a limiting component 2 is provided on the U-shaped block 11, and the limiting component 2 includes: a rotating rod 1 21 is provided on the U-shaped block 11, and the connecting block 12 and the connecting block 2 1 4 are rotatably connected to the U-shaped block 11 through the rotating rod 1 21, the mounting shell 22 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped block 11, the rod body 23 is inserted into the mounting shell 22 and slidably connected to the mounting shell 22, the fixing block 24 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rod body 23, and the fixing block 24 is clamped in the mounting shell 22, the rotating rod 25 is hinged to one end of the rod body 23, the connecting rod 26 is hinged to one end of the rotating rod 25, and the limit block 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 26.

[0035] When ready for use, the mounting shell 22 is connected to the U-shaped block 11 through a connecting rod, and then the operator pulls the rod body 23 to drive the two rotating rods 25 to rotate, so that the two rotating rods 25 respectively push the connecting rods 26 on the same side to move, and the two connecting rods 26 drive the two limiting blocks 27 to move at the same time, so that the two limiting blocks 27 are respectively embedded in the connecting block 12 and the connecting block 2 14, and the connecting block 12 and the connecting block 2 14 are limited, so that the pressing piece 15 and the popsicle 13 are limited, so as to prevent the pressing piece 15 from being moved during use. When the popsicle 13 moves and the device is not in use, the operator can press the rod body 23, thereby driving the limit block 27 to move to the mounting shell 22, canceling the limit on the pressing piece 15 and the popsicle 13, so that the operator can drive the connecting block 12 and the connecting block 2 14 to rotate under the action of the rotating rod 1 21. At the same time, when the connecting block 12 rotates, the connecting rod on the mounting shell 22 slides in the internal groove of the connecting block 12, thereby rotating the pressing piece 15 and the popsicle 13 to the inside of the U-shaped block 11, so as to facilitate carrying.

[0036] Specifically, popsicles and pressed tablets are made of metal such as iron and need to be taken out of the refrigerator when used. The fixing block 24 and the rod body 23 are welded and fixed. A limiting groove is provided on the U-shaped block 11, and the limiting block 27 is inserted into the limiting groove. The mounting shell 22 is welded and fixed to the U-shaped block 11 through a connecting rod, and the through groove in the connecting block 12 is a circular through groove.

[0037] In some embodiments, a protrusion is provided on the outside of the limit block 27, and the protrusion can enable the limit block 27 to limit the connecting block 12 and the connecting block 2 14 at different angles, thereby facilitating the operator to change the angle of the device for treatment, reducing the dead angle during treatment, and improving the practicality of the device.

[0038] Specifically, the shape of the limiting groove formed on the U-shaped block 11 is consistent with the shape formed by the limiting block 27 and the protrusion.

[0039] In some embodiments, a spring 5 is provided inside the mounting shell 22, and both ends of the spring 5 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the rod body 23 and the inside of the mounting shell 22. Before the operator presses the rod body 23, the spring 5 is in an extended state. After the operator presses the rod body 23 to cancel the clamping connection between the fixing block 24 and the mounting shell 22, under the action of the spring 5, the rod body 23 is directly pulled into the mounting shell 22, thereby pulling the limit block 27 to cancel the limit. The operator does not need to press a certain range before canceling the limit of the limit block 27, thereby improving the convenience of the device.

[0040] In some embodiments, a telescopic rod 4 is provided inside the mounting shell 22, and both ends of the telescopic rod 4 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the rod body 23 and the inside of the mounting shell 22. When the rod body 23 moves, the telescopic rod 4 is driven to contract at the same time. The telescopic rod 4 can limit the moving direction of the rod body 23 to prevent the rod body 23 from tilting when moving, causing the rod body 23 to be stuck in the mounting shell 22, thereby causing the device to be unable to be used normally, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0041] In some embodiments, a protection assembly 3 is disposed on the U-shaped block 11 , and the protection assembly 3 includes: a protection plate 31 rotatably connected to the U-shaped block 11 ; and a sealing cover 32 hinged to the top of the U-shaped block 11 .

[0042] After use, the operator opens the protective plates 31 on both sides, rotates the pressing sheet 15 and the popsicle 13 into the U-shaped block 11, and then rotates the sealing cover 32 to engage the sealing cover 32 with the U-shaped block 11, thereby preventing the pressing sheet 15 and the popsicle 13 from being contaminated by the external environment when the device is carried, and needs to be cleaned again when used.

[0043] In some embodiments, a sealing gasket 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective plate 31 , and the sealing gasket 7 can enhance the sealing effect of the protective plate 31 and further reduce the possibility of contamination of the pressed tablet 15 and the popsicle 13 .

[0044] Specifically, the sealing gasket 7 is made of silicone and has a length equal to that of the protective plate 31 .

[0045] In some embodiments, a groove body 6 is opened on the top of the U-shaped block 11, and the sealing cover 32 is snapped onto the groove body 6. When the device is in use, the height of the groove body 6 can completely cover the sealing cover 32, so that the sealing cover 32 is embedded in the device, thereby preventing the sealing cover 32 from affecting the use of the device and preventing the sealing cover 32 from bulging and causing damage to the patient's mouth.

[0046] In some embodiments, friction patterns are provided on the outside of the rod body 23, which can increase the friction between the operator's fingers and the rod body 23, thereby preventing the rod body 23 from slipping when pulling the rod body 23, causing the operator to pull it again, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0047] Specifically, the anti-slip grooves are drawn grooves with equal spacing.

[0048] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification.

[0049] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.
