[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4, the present utility model provides a technical solution: an efficient dysarthria correction device, characterized in that it includes a base 1, a tongue depressor 2 and an airbag 3. The tongue depressor 2 is movably connected to the front end of the base 1. An airbag controller 4 is connected to the outside of the base 1. The airbag 3 is arranged at the rear end of the base 1. The airbag controller 4 is connected to the airbag 3 through one side of the base 1. The tongue depressor 2 includes a tongue pressing belt 5 and a tongue pressing buckle 6. The two tongue pressing belts 5 are connected through the tongue pressing buckle 6. A chute 7 is arranged inside the base 1. Sliders 8 that cooperate with the chute 7 are also arranged on both sides of the tongue pressing belt 5. A locking buckle 9 is also arranged on the slider 8.
[0023] Specifically, a soft palate support 10 is snap-connected to the rear end of the base 1. The airbag 3 is snap-connected to the soft palate support 10. By providing the detachable soft palate support 10, it plays a role in assisting palatopharyngeal closure, increases oral pressure, eliminates nasal leakage sounds, and at the same time, the detachable soft palate support 10 can be disinfected regularly, making it more comfortable and safe to use.
[0024] Specifically, the front section of the base 1 has an arc-shaped cross-section. The base 1 is made of eva material. Through the above settings, the base 1 can be telescoped and deformed according to the tooth condition, can be placed and fit on the teeth of different people, and the arc-shaped design at the front is more in line with the oral physiological structure, making it more comfortable and safe to use.
[0025] Specifically, the surface of the airbag 3 is covered with a silicone material for the airbag 3 to fit the soft palate. The airbag 3 is filled with memory foam. Through the above settings, the memory foam not only endows the airbag 3 with good elasticity and resilience, ensures that it can closely and gently fit the soft palate after inflation, effectively improves the pronunciation problems of dysarthria patients, and at the same time, the introduction of the silicone material greatly improves the skin-friendly property and durability of the airbag 3, reduces the discomfort and wear during use, and makes it more comfortable and safe to use.
[0026] Specifically, the surface of the tongue pressing belt 5 is covered with a medical-grade silicone layer. Through the above settings, the medical-grade silicone layer not only provides a comfortable fit for the tongue surface of the tongue pressing belt 5, but also significantly improves its hygiene standard.
[0027] Specifically, an adjustable telescopic rod 11 is designed at the rear end of the base 1. The end of the telescopic rod 11 is connected to the soft palate support 10. Through the above settings, the design of the telescopic rod 11 enables the position of the soft palate support 10 to be finely adjusted according to the specific needs of the patient, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the device. Whether for children or adults, it can provide precise auxiliary correction.
[0028] Specifically, part of the tongue pressing buckle 6 is made of a soft memory material. Through the above settings, part of the tongue pressing buckle 6 is made of a soft memory material. This design greatly improves the comfort and convenience of use. The soft memory material not only has good elasticity and can closely fit the tongue of different shapes.
[0029] A specific application example of this embodiment is as follows:
[0030] When in use, the user first stretches the base 1 according to their own alveolar condition, puts the base 1 on the alveolar, adjusts the position of the tongue depressor 2 according to the pronunciation to be corrected, and inflates the airbag 3 through the airbag controller 4 at the same time. When the tongue depressor 2 is placed above the tip of the tongue, it is easy for the root of the tongue to bulge, assisting in pronouncing the root consonants (g, k, h). When pronouncing g or k, the root of the tongue presses against the soft palate and then suddenly releases, and the air stream rushes out; when pronouncing h, the root of the tongue should be close to the soft palate but there is a gap, and the air stream frictions out through the gap;
[0031] When the tongue depressor 2 is placed above the tongue surface, it assists in pronouncing z, c, s, zh, ch, sh, r, d, t, n, l. When pronouncing z or c, the tip of the tongue presses against the upper gum to assist in pronunciation; when pronouncing s, the tip of the tongue approaches the back of the upper teeth to assist in pronunciation. When pronouncing zh or ch, the tip of the tongue turns up and presses against the front part of the hard palate to assist in pronunciation; when pronouncing sh or r, the tip of the tongue turns up and approaches the front part of the hard palate to assist in pronunciation; when pronouncing d, t, n, l, the tip of the tongue presses against the upper gum to assist in pronunciation;
[0032] When the tongue depressor 2 is placed above the root of the tongue, the tip of the tongue presses against the back of the lower teeth, and the tongue surface contacts the hard palate, assisting in pronouncing the palatal consonants (j, q, x);
[0033] The airbag 3 will not block the human pharynx when it is fully inflated. The soft palate support 10 and the airbag 3 play an auxiliary role in palatopharyngeal closure, playing a role in lifting the soft palate and closing it with the pharyngeal wall, increasing the oral pressure, and eliminating nasal leakage sounds. Patients with speech disorders after cleft palate repair generally have problems with palatopharyngeal closure insufficiency;
[0034] Both the tongue depressor 2 and the soft palate support 10 adopt a detachable design, which can be disassembled and disinfected regularly, making it healthier and safer for users to use.
