[0002] The causes of swallowing disorders are complex and diverse, mainly including diseases or dysfunctions of swallowing organs such as the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, etc. It is a concurrent symptom of many diseases such as motor neuron diseases, Parkinson's disease, etc. Some laryngeal resection surgeries may also damage the pharyngeal nerves and cause swallowing disorders. Swallowing disorder patients not only cannot eat smoothly, thus causing physiological problems such as malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance, but also may increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia. In the most serious cases, they may even suffocate due to food blocking the respiratory tract, endangering life safety.

[0003] During the swallowing process, the internal oral pressure will undergo significant changes.

[0041] The following uses specific specific examples to illustrate the implementation manners of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. The present utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation manners. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.

[0042] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present utility model. Therefore, only the modules related to the present utility model are shown in the drawings, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the modules in actual implementation. The types, quantities, and proportions of the actual implemented modules can be arbitrarily changed, and the module layout type may also be more complex.

[0043] Dysphagia not only affects the normal eating of patients, but also causes asphyxia, aspiration pneumonia, etc., endangering life. It is also an important symptom of many neurological diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to detect dysphagia problems in a timely manner. During swallowing, when food or liquid is sent to the root of the tongue, the internal pressure of the oral cavity begins to change. The mucous membranes of the root of the tongue, soft palate, pharynx and other parts feel the stimulation and send signals to the swallowing center in the brain. With the initiation of the swallowing reflex, the oral cavity passage begins to close to prevent food or liquid from entering the nasal cavity or trachea. During this process, the change in the internal pressure of the oral cavity helps the collection and propulsion of food or liquid. When food or liquid enters the pharynx, the pharyngeal muscles begin to contract, pushing the food or liquid in the direction of the esophagus, and the internal pressure of the oral cavity continues to change to assist the contraction and propulsion of the pharyngeal muscles. During the entire swallowing process, the change in the internal pressure of the oral cavity is one of the key factors to ensure the smooth movement of food or liquid. Accurately measuring the pressure changes in different regions of the oral cavity can effectively evaluate an individual's swallowing function, which is of great significance for the timely detection and treatment of dysphagia problems and various diseases.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11, the present utility model provides an oral pressure measurement training device, which includes an oral insert 100, a lip baffle 200, a measurement module 300, a display module 400 and a liquid delivery module 500. At least a part of the oral insert 100 is disposed in the oral cavity and deforms with the pressure changes in various regions of the oral cavity; the measurement module 300 is connected to the oral insert 100 to measure the deformation generated by the oral insert 100 so as to obtain the pressure of the corresponding region; the display module 400 is communicatively connected to the measurement module 300 to display the pressure signals of various regions of the oral cavity measured by the measurement module 300, and can realize real-time monitoring and recording of the pressures in different regions of the oral cavity during swallowing to assist in customizing a rehabilitation treatment plan; the liquid delivery module 500 is connected to the oral insert 100 to send an appropriate amount of liquid into the oral cavity to assist in swallowing; at the same time, the lip baffle 200 fits with the lips to create a sealed environment in the oral cavity during swallowing to prevent saliva from flowing out. The oral insert 100 cooperates with the externally connected modules to be able to real-time monitor the pressure changes in various regions of the oral cavity during swallowing, thereby realizing an effective evaluation of an individual's swallowing function, timely discovering disease problems and performing rehabilitation treatment, and the measurement training device can also be used to track the training situation during the rehabilitation training process; the oral insert 100 has a simple structure, low cost, is convenient for different users to replace at any time, effectively solves the cost and hygiene problems, has good universality and is easy to promote.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the oral insert 100 includes a flexible sensing end 110, at least two groups of flexible sensing bands 120, a connection layer 130 and a support member 140. The flexible sensing end 110 is located at the end of the oral insert 100 and is disposed in the pharynx, and can deform with the pressure changes in the pharyngeal region. The flexible sensing bands 120 are located on the side of the oral insert 100 close to the flexible sensing end 110, and are disposed in the region between the upper palate and the tongue in the oral cavity; the connection layer 130 is used to connect the flexible sensing end 110 and the flexible sensing bands 120, and one end thereof is located outside the oral cavity to connect the flexible sensing bands 120 and the flexible sensing end 110 to other external modules to realize accurate measurement and real-time monitoring of the pressure in the oral cavity; two groups of support members 140 are respectively disposed on both sides of the flexible sensing bands 120 and extend along the length direction of the flexible sensing bands 120 to prevent the flexible sensing bands 120 from contacting the upper palate and the tongue and affecting the pressure measurement, and ensure the accuracy of the measurement. The oral insert 100 as a whole has a certain stiffness and the ability to resist self-weight deformation to ensure that it can be inserted deep into the oral cavity to obtain the pressures in different stages and different regions during swallowing, including the pressure in the pharynx.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the flexible sensing end 110 is located at the end of the oral insert 100, and it can penetrate into the oral cavity and enter the pharynx to measure the pressure change in the pharynx during swallowing. The flexible sensing end 110 can be, for example, one or more flexible sacs, which is convenient for measurement while reducing the irritation to the throat and the discomfort caused during the insertion into the pharynx.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the oral insert 100 includes at least two groups of flexible sensing bands 120. Each group of flexible sensing bands 120 includes several sacs, and the several sacs deform with the pressure change in the corresponding area in the oral cavity. The pressure in the oral cavity corresponding area can be measured by using the deformation of the sacs.

[0048] Specifically, the flexible sensing bands 120 are located between the hard palate and the tongue body, corresponding to different areas in the oral cavity respectively, so as to measure the pressure of multiple areas respectively. Specifically, for example, the flexible sensing band 120 can include a first sac group 121 and a second sac group 122. The first sac group 121 is located in the area between the hard palate and the front end of the tongue, and the second sac group 122 is located in the area between the soft palate and the rear end of the tongue. Each sac group can include multiple sacs, and the number of sacs can be set differently according to different oral structures. During swallowing, due to the pressure change inside the oral cavity, the flexible sensing bands 120 and the flexible sensing end 110 will deform under its action, so that the pressure inside the sacs changes. By measuring the pressure change when each group of sacs deforms through the measurement module, the pressure of each area in the oral cavity can be measured, and the pressure change inside the oral cavity can be accurately obtained, so as to evaluate the movement state of each nerve muscle group and realize the accurate evaluation of the swallowing function.

[0049] In other embodiments, please refer to Figures 7 to 10 , according to the measurement needs, the flexible sensing band 120 can also include multiple sac groups. For example, it can include three sac groups, and each sac group includes six sacs, which are respectively located in the front end area of the tongue, the middle area of the tongue and the root area of the tongue, etc. Multiple groups of flexible sensing bands 120 and the flexible sensing end 110 are respectively used to sense the pressure change of multiple areas inside the oral cavity, and the pressure monitoring of each area inside the oral cavity can be realized through the measurement module; it can be understood that each sac group can include one or more sacs, and multiple sacs can be distributed in one row or multiple rows, etc. The number of sacs and the specific distribution are not limited.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the capsules of the flexible sensing end 110 and the flexible sensing belt 120 can be, for example, thin-walled capsules made of flexible materials. They are soft in texture, convenient to enter the mouth, and the capsules are prone to deformation, enabling more accurate measured pressure values and higher measurement sensitivity. For example, both the first capsule group 121 and the second capsule group 122 include two thin-walled capsules of equal size, and the two capsule groups are respectively connected to the measurement module 300 to measure the pressure changes in the front tongue region and the rear tongue region in the oral cavity.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the connecting layer 130 is arranged between the capsules, and multiple capsules are sequentially connected through the connecting layer 130. The flexible sensing end 110 is connected to one end of the connecting layer 130, and the flexible sensing belt 120 is arranged in the connecting layer 130 and located on the side close to the flexible sensing end 110. Through the connecting layer 130, the multiple capsules of the flexible sensing belt 120 and the flexible sensing end 110 are connected as a whole to ensure the overall stiffness of the oral insert 100.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the support members 140 are arranged on both sides of the flexible sensing belt 120 and extend along the length direction of the flexible sensing belt 120. Specifically, for example, the support members 140 can be fixedly connected or snapped onto both sides of the connecting layer 130. The upper and lower sides of the support members 140 are respectively in contact with the upper jaw and the tongue body to realize the support and fixation of the flexible sensing belt 120 in the oral cavity, and at the same time avoid the flexible sensing belt 120 contacting the tongue body and the upper jaw, causing additional pressure on the capsules and thus affecting the accurate measurement of the oral cavity pressure.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the support members 140 are of a flexible corrugated structure, which can deform under external force to fit the oral cavity, effectively reducing the irritation to the upper jaw and the tongue body and alleviating the nausea and vomiting sensation. Specifically, the corrugated structure includes multiple wave crests, and the positions of each wave crest correspond to the capsules one by one. The length of the wave crest is the same as the length of the capsule. The corrugated structure is more conducive to the support members 140 bending and deforming under the restriction of the upper jaw and the tongue body, and can effectively prevent the capsule unit from deforming under the pressure of the upper jaw or the tongue body when the oral cavity adapts to the oral cavity shape. The upper and lower ends of the support members 140 are set in an arc shape, with good bending deformation ability, capable of fitting the internal shape of the oral cavity, alleviating discomfort, and avoiding large deviations during the measurement of the oral cavity pressure.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, a plurality of medium channels 150 are arranged in the mouth insertion body 100, arranged along the extending direction of the flexible sensing band 120, and are respectively communicated with the flexible sensing band 120 and the flexible sensing end 110. One end of the medium channel 150 is respectively communicated with each capsule group, and the other end is connected to the measurement module, and the real-time monitoring of the pressure in different regions of the oral cavity is realized through a plurality of capsule groups.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, a plurality of medium channels 150 are arranged in the connection layer 130, and are respectively communicated with the flexible sensing end 110 and each group of flexible sensing bands 120. The medium channels 150 are not communicated with each other, and each medium channel 150 is communicated with a group of capsules of the flexible sensing end 110 or the flexible sensing band 120, so that each capsule group forms an independent detection body, which is respectively connected to the measurement module, and can respectively sense the pressure signals generated in each region of the oral cavity, so as to obtain the pressure change in the corresponding region of the oral cavity. It can be understood that the plurality of medium channels 150 are distributed in the connection layer 130 and are parallel to each other and not connected, and they can be located in the same plane or in different planes in the connection layer 130.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the capsule is a cavity structure, and its interior is filled with a medium to change the anti-deformation ability and measurement range of the capsule. Since the pressure thresholds in different regions of the oral cavity are different for different people during swallowing, the measurement ranges of the capsules corresponding to different positions are also different. Using medium filling to improve the anti-deformation ability of the capsule and change its measurement range is convenient for control and adjustment, and can effectively simplify the structure, reduce costs, and at the same time will not affect the measurement accuracy.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , according to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the measurement module 300 includes a medium pressure sensor, the medium channel 150 is connected to the medium pressure sensor, and the medium pressure sensor is used to measure the change in the medium pressure in the medium channel 150. When the capsule deforms under the pressure of the oral cavity, the internal medium pressure changes. The capsule is connected to the measurement module through the medium channel 150, and the medium pressure sensor of the measurement module can measure the change in the medium pressure in the medium channel 150, so as to obtain the pressure change in the region where the capsule is located.

[0058] It can be understood that the medium introduced into the capsule and the medium channel 150 here can be non-toxic gases and / or liquids or other media. By introducing the medium, the measurement range of the capsule and the overall pressure and anti-deformation ability of the mouth insertion body 100 can be changed.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 7 to 10, According to another embodiment provided by the present utility model, the support member 140 and the connection layer 130 are integrated into one body, presenting an overall base structure. A chamber for accommodating the capsule body is provided inside the connection layer 130, that is, the capsule body is embedded in the connection layer 130. The chamber structure can have different settings. A medium channel 150 is provided at the bottom of the connection layer 130 to communicate with each group of capsule bodies. The flexible sensing end 110 and the flexible sensing belt 120 are arranged inside the connection layer 130. The upper and lower bottom surfaces of each capsule body are both located inside the connection layer 130. During swallowing, the upper palate and the tongue body of the oral cavity contact the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the connection layer 130 and do not contact the capsule body, which can support the oral insert 100 to ensure its stability in the oral cavity and effectively prevent the capsule body from being affected by external forces and affecting the measurement.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the shape of the capsule body is not limited. It can be, for example, an oval capsule body, a cylindrical capsule body, a spherical capsule body, etc. Corresponding to different capsule body shapes, the cavity structure inside the connection layer 130 is also different to connect each capsule body inside the connection layer 130.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, a liquid delivery channel 160 is further provided inside the oral insert 100 away from the flexible sensing end 110. One end of the liquid delivery channel 160 is connected to the liquid delivery module 500, and the other end is located inside the oral cavity to send an appropriate amount of liquid into the oral cavity. Specifically, for example, the inlet end 161 of the liquid delivery channel is arranged at one end of the connection layer 130 outside the oral cavity and is connected to the liquid delivery module 500. The liquid delivery channel 160 extends along the length direction of the connection layer 130 to the support member 140. The outlet end 162 of the liquid delivery channel is arranged at one end of the first wave peak 141 close to the second wave peak 142, which is located at the upper end position of the tongue tip. During swallowing, it can send an appropriate amount of liquid to the tongue tip, helping the user complete the swallowing process, effectively simulating the swallowing process, facilitating measurement and training, and controlling the training intensity by adjusting the amount of liquid sent in for targeted training.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the lip baffle 200 is sleeved on the oral insert 100 and has a certain arc to fit the lips to create a sealed environment inside the oral cavity. Specifically, for example, the lip baffle 200 can be set as an irregular circle conforming to the shape of the human lips, with a connection hole in the middle, which can be sleeved on the connection layer 130 of the oral insert 100 to achieve the sealing of the oral cavity, prevent saliva from flowing out, maintain the sealed state of the oral cavity during swallowing, and ensure the smooth progress of the measurement process.

[0063] It can be understood that for different users, the oral cavity depth is different, and the position of the lip baffle 200 is also different. The lip baffle 200 is sleeved on the connection layer 130, which is convenient for position adjustment and does not affect the structure of the oral insert 100. To facilitate the position adjustment of the lip baffle 200 and ensure its stable fit with the connection layer 130, the lip baffle 200 can be made of a material with a certain elasticity. The side of the connection layer 130 away from the flexible sensing band 120 can be set to be cylindrical, elliptical, rectangular, etc., for easy installation.

[0064] In other embodiments, a plurality of connection grooves can also be provided on the surface of the side of the connection layer 130 away from the flexible sensing band 120. The lip baffle 200 is engaged with the connection pipe through the connection grooves at appropriate positions, which can achieve adjustment and ensure stable connection.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 9 to 10 , according to an embodiment provided by the present invention, when the connection layer 130 and the support member 140 are integrated, the end of the connection layer 130 extending out of the oral cavity is set to be cylindrical to facilitate the installation of the lip baffle 200.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , according to an embodiment provided by the present invention, the oral insert 100 and the lip baffle 200 can be made of flexible materials such as silica gel and other food-grade materials. It can be understood that the hardness of the support member 140 should be higher than that of other components to avoid large deformations in the height direction under the action of the upper palate and tongue of the oral cavity, and ensure the overall stable anti-deformation ability of the oral insert 100.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , according to an embodiment provided by the present invention, the display module 400 is communicatively connected to the measurement module 300, and during the measurement process, it can real-time display the pressure changes in different regions of the oral cavity at different times during swallowing measured by the measurement module, accurately evaluate the swallowing function. At the same time, the display module 400 can real-time display the time. Further, the pressure changes can be combined with the swallowing time for analysis to determine whether the user has swallowing function disorders or abnormalities, and timely discover oral problems and carry out rehabilitation treatment.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11, during use, the liquid delivery module 500 sends an appropriate amount of liquid to the tip of the tongue to assist the user in simulating actual swallowing movements. The pressure in each area of the oral cavity constantly changes, causing the capsules in the corresponding areas to deform. By measuring the deformation of each group of airbags with the measurement module 300, the pressure in the oral cavity area where the airbag is located can be correspondingly obtained. Then, the data is transmitted to the display module 400, enabling real-time monitoring of the pressure in each area of the oral cavity intuitively and clearly. Based on the measured pressure data, the swallowing function and oral health status of the user can be evaluated, oral problems can be detected in a timely manner, and targeted rehabilitation training can be carried out; during the rehabilitation training process, data can also be measured using this device, and the training situation can be evaluated through feedback to improve the plan in a timely manner to achieve targeted rehabilitation training.

[0069] For the oral pressure measurement and training device of the present utility model, the flexible sensing end 110 and multiple groups of flexible sensing bands 120 adopt a flexible capsule structure, and at the same time, the two-side support members 140 adopt a corrugated structure. Their deformation can adapt to the oral cavity structure, effectively avoiding the influence of the pressure of the upper jaw and the tongue body on the capsule and affecting the measurement. While accurately measuring the pressure in different areas of the oral cavity, the discomfort caused by the oral insert 100 is effectively reduced; the connection layer 130 connects multiple groups of capsules into a whole, ensuring the overall stiffness of the oral insert 100 and facilitating the insertion of the oral insert 100; an external liquid delivery module 500 is used to send an appropriate amount of liquid into the oral cavity, and using the physiological reaction of people, the swallowing process can be effectively simulated. A lip baffle 200 is provided on the connection layer 130 to ensure the seal of the oral cavity during the swallowing process; the measurement module 300 and the display module 400 monitor and display the pressure in each area of the oral cavity to accurately evaluate the swallowing function and can assist in rehabilitation treatment; the liquid delivery module 500 can also be removed or not used, and only the oral pressure measurement is carried out; the oral insert 100 is connected to external modules through multiple pipes, with a simple structure, low cost, and easy to replace at any time.
