Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tongue muscle training tools, in particular to a tongue muscle training device capable of regulating negative pressure. Background Art

[0002] Swallowing disorders are a common complication in elderly stroke patients. Dysphagia often leads to lung infections, malnutrition, and other hazards. Long-term dysphagia can lead to lung infections, breathing difficulties, and lung failure. Furthermore, dysphagia can reduce food intake and cause indigestion. Lack of protein, minerals, and other trace elements in the patient's body can easily lead to severe anemia. Severe anemia can cause insufficient blood flow to the brain, resulting in symptoms such as headaches and dizziness. Rehabilitation of the tongue muscles is crucial, especially if the patient does not have a swallowing reflex. Preliminary tongue massage can have a direct and significant effect on swallowing recovery. Currently, many types of tongue muscle training devices are available on the market. Most use airbags to generate negative pressure inside the tongue cuff to hold the tongue in place. However, this method cannot precisely control the negative pressure generated by the cuff. Excessive negative pressure can cause discomfort, while insufficient negative pressure can easily cause the cuff to fall off. Therefore, the present invention provides a tongue muscle training device with adjustable negative pressure to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

A rubber ring is attached to the lower end surface of the upper shell 301, which can increase the sealing between the upper shell 301 and the bottom shell 300. A negative pressure channel 302 is opened inside the upper shell 301. A transition chamber 315 is opened inside the upper shell 301 on the side of the negative pressure channel 302 away from the bottom shell 300. A transition channel 317 is opened between the transition chamber 315 and the negative pressure channel 302. A one-way ventilation blocking member is movably connected in the transition channel 317, and a plurality of connection holes 316 for connecting to the negative pressure shell 1 are opened at the top of the transition chamber 315.

[0029] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 The bottom shell 300 is movably connected with a negative pressure button 306 and a release button 307.

[0030] See also Figure 4, one end of the negative pressure button 306 located inside the bottom shell 300 is detachably connected to the pull rod 304, and the pull rod 304 is snap-fitted to the negative pressure button 306. Specifically, a snap-fitting hole is opened at one end of the negative pressure button 306 located inside the bottom shell 300, and the end of the pull rod 304 close to the snap-fitting hole is wrapped with a rubber sleeve, and the pull rod 304 is inserted into the snap-fitting hole. The snap-fitting is achieved by squeezing between the rubber sleeve and the snap-fitting hole. The end of the pull rod 304 away from the negative pressure button 306 passes through the inner wall of the bottom shell 300, and the pull rod 304 is slidably connected to the bottom shell 300. The end of the pull rod 304 passing through the inner wall of the bottom shell 300 is threadedly connected to a piston 303 for extracting air from the transition chamber 315. The piston 303 is located in the negative pressure channel 302;

[0031] Please refer to Figure 6 To ensure that the gas in the negative pressure channel 302 can be discharged, a plurality of air guide holes 313 are opened at the upper end of the bottom shell 300, and an air release channel 305 is opened inside the piston 303. The air release channel 305 is configured as a cone. Specifically, the inner diameter of the air release channel 305 gradually increases from bottom to top, and a rubber baffle is provided at the end with the smallest diameter of the air release channel 305. The rubber baffle can prevent the air release channel 305 from blocking the flow of air from the lower end to the upper end of the piston 303.

[0032] An air release hole is provided inside the upper shell 301 and communicates with the transition chamber 315. A release rod 320 is fixedly connected to one end of the release button 307 located inside the bottom shell 300. The release rod 320 penetrates the inner wall of the bottom shell 300 and is inserted into the air release hole. A rubber head is fixedly connected to the end of the release rod 320 away from the release button 307. The outer diameter of the rubber head is larger than the inner diameter of the air release hole, and the outer diameter of the release rod 320 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air release hole.

[0033] See also Figure 5 The one-way ventilation blocking member includes a blocking rod 314, which is located inside the transition channel 317. Specifically, the outer diameter of the blocking rod 314 is smaller than the inner diameter of the transition channel 317. One end of the blocking rod 314 is located inside the negative pressure channel 302, and the other end is located in the transition cavity 315. One end of the blocking rod 314 located in the transition cavity 315 is symmetrically fixedly connected to a resistance strip 318, which is made of silicone, and the total length of the two resistance strips 318 is greater than the inner diameter of the transition channel 317.

[0034] When connecting the negative pressure button 306 and the release button 307 to the bottom case 300, the negative pressure button 306 and the release button 307 are directly pressed toward the inside of the bottom case 300. During the pressing process, the slider 311 contacts the inner wall of the mounting groove, and the slider 311 squeezes the spring piece 310. When the slider 311 enters the sliding groove 309, the spring piece 310 recovers its deformation and pushes the slider 311 to contact the inner wall of the sliding groove 309, thereby allowing the negative pressure button 306 and the release button 307 to enter the bottom case 300.

[0035] When installing the negative pressure button 306, first pass the pull rod 304 through the shell wall of the bottom shell 300, then connect the piston 303 to the pull rod 304, and finally clamp the pull rod 304 on the negative pressure button 306. When installing the release button 307, the air release rod 320 needs to be directly inserted into the air release hole. During the insertion process, the rubber head at the end of the air release rod 320 will be squeezed. When the rubber head passes through the air release hole, it will return to its original shape, thereby blocking the air release hole.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0037] When the present invention is used, the tongue is first placed in the tongue cover 2, and then the negative pressure button 306 is continuously pressed. When the negative pressure button 306 is pressed again, the piston 303 is driven to move up and down in the negative pressure channel 302. When the piston 303 moves upward, the sealing plug 319 blocks the transition channel 317, and the air in the negative pressure channel 302 is discharged into the bottom shell 300 through the air release channel 305, and then discharged through the gap between the negative pressure button 306 and the release button 307. When the piston 303 moves downward, the piston 30 3. A negative pressure zone is generated in the space at the upper end. At this time, the sealing plug 319 is sucked downward. In the process of being sucked downward, the sealing plug 319 pulls the blocking rod 314. At this time, the resistance strip 318 is bent under the action of the blocking rod 314, so that the sealing plug 319 releases the blockage of the transition channel 317, thereby extracting the air in the negative pressure shell 1, and generating negative pressure inside the negative pressure shell 1, thereby tightly adsorbing the user's tongue into the tongue cover 2. Then, the user only needs to hold the negative pressure shell 1 and swing it to train the tongue muscles.

[0038] When using, you can also control the number of times you press the negative pressure button 306 according to your needs, thereby controlling the negative pressure in the negative pressure shell 1, making the use of the utility model more comfortable;

[0039] After the training is finished, the patient only needs to press the release button 307 to separate the rubber head at the end of the deflation rod 320 from the deflation hole to release the negative pressure state in the negative pressure shell 1, thereby facilitating the patient to remove the device.

[0040] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
