Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pharyngeal muscle assessment, and in particular to a pressure-type pharyngeal muscle intelligent assessment and training instrument. Background Art

[0002] The swallowing pharyngeal muscle assessment trainer strengthens the suprahyoid muscles of the laryngeal musculature, thereby enhancing airway protection and reducing food residue. During training, the pharyngeal muscle strength is tested and evaluated, providing clinical data and achieving training objectives.

[0003] Related technology, such as Chinese patent application CN218686049U, discloses a swallowing and pharyngeal muscle assessment and training device. This application document places a strain gauge on an elastic frame. The deformation of the frame also causes the strain gauge resistor to deform. The user applies force to the frame, causing the frame to deform, which in turn changes the voltage on the strain gauge. This allows the MCU to assess the pharyngeal muscles.

[0004] However, existing techniques use the deformation of an elastic frame to change the voltage of a strain gauge, thereby evaluating the pharyngeal muscles. However, with prolonged use, the elastic frame deforms more and more frequently, resulting in a weaker degree of deformation than the original. Consequently, the elastic frame's degree of deformation cannot be maintained at the same level as before, affecting the accuracy of the pharyngeal muscle assessment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a pressure-type pharyngeal muscle intelligent assessment and training instrument, which aims to solve the problem in the related art that with long-term use, the elastic frame deforms more and more times, resulting in the elastic frame being less deformed than the original one. Therefore, the deformation degree of the elastic frame cannot be the same as the original one, which in turn affects the accuracy of the pharyngeal muscle assessment.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting hole is provided on the inner surface of the groove, and the pressure sensor is mounted on the inner surface of the groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the shape of the protective pad is adapted to the shape of the groove, and the protective pad is made of foam material.

[0009] Furthermore, the other end of the support member has a mounting head, one side of the mounting head is fixedly connected to an anti-slip portion, and the anti-slip portion is a rubber pad.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a control component, which includes a mounting shell fixed on the outer surface of the support member, and a display component is provided on one side of the mounting shell.

[0011] Furthermore, the display component is electrically connected to the pressure sensor via a connecting line, and the display component is a display screen.

[0012] Furthermore, a control switch is provided on the display component, and the control switch turns on or off the electrical components in the training device body.

[0013] Furthermore, a charging port is provided on the mounting shell, and the charging port is electrically connected to the battery inside the mounting shell.

[0014] Beneficial Effects: The training device is equipped with a pressure sensor to monitor the user's pharyngeal muscles. Specifically, the user places their chin on the foam pad at the top of the training device's support frame, applying pressure to the pressure sensor underneath. A control unit is also included to display the pressure measured during the pharyngeal muscle test and to control the device's opening and closing, thereby saving energy.

In this embodiment, the anti-slip portion 12 is a rubber pad, and the rubber pad has a plurality of protrusions for increasing the friction with the desktop and improving the stability of the training device body 10 when placed on the desktop. A support portion 112 is fixedly connected to the other end of the support member 11. In this embodiment, the support portion 112 is circular in shape. In other embodiments, the support portion 112 may be square or pentagonal in shape, etc., and the support portion 112 is made of foam material.
