[0034] In an embodiment of the present utility model, when the user uses the swallowing neuromuscular electrical stimulator, the user rotates the support frame 8 so that the support frame 8 rotates around the base frame 7 under the action of external force, so that the support frame 8 can support the stimulator body 1, so that the user can place the stimulator body 1 on the desktop, insert the two plugs 2 into the socket position of the stimulator body 1, the user takes out the patch 5, and sticks the two electrode heads 4 on the two electrode patches 6 on the patch 5. The user moves the two electrode patches 6 to the throat, sticks the patch 5 on the throat for fixation, and performs stimulation treatment by opening the stimulator body 1.

[0035] Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the line fixing mechanism includes two sleeves 9 movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting line 3, a force-bearing shell 11 is fixedly installed between the two sleeves 9, a knob 12 is threadedly installed on the force-bearing shell 11, a disc 13 is movably sleeved on the outside of the knob 12, and the disc 13 is located between the knob 12 and the force-bearing shell 11, connecting plates 14 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the disc 13, a clamping block 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 14, and the clamping block 15 is located on the inner side, a limit block 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the sleeve 9, a threaded hole is provided on the top of the force-bearing shell 11, and is threadedly connected to the knob 12, two circular holes are provided on the top of the force-bearing shell 11, and the two circular holes are symmetrically located on both sides of the threaded hole, a first spring 16 is connected to the inner side of the circular hole, and the first spring 16 is connected to the connecting plate 14;

[0036] The clamping mechanism fixes the line fixing mechanism by clamping the user's clothes, so that the line fixing mechanism can fix the connecting line 3. The clamping mechanism includes a center bolt 17 fixedly installed on the bottom of the force-bearing shell 11, and the outer side of the center bolt 17 is movably sleeved with a movable clamp 18. Two second springs 19 are connected to the bottom of the force-bearing shell 11, and the two second springs 19 are connected to the movable clamp 18 together. A serrated clamp 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the force-bearing shell 11, and the serrated clamp 20 is in contact with the movable clamp 18.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the limit block 10 can limit the movement of the clamping block 15, and the stress shell 11 is moved according to the user's own situation. The stress shell 11 is moved so that the stress shell 11 drives the two sleeves 9 to move along the outside of the connecting line 3 under the action of external force, and the two sleeves 9 are moved to the specified position of the connecting line 3. The knob 12 is turned so that the knob 12 drives the disc 13 to move under the threaded support of the threaded hole, so that the disc 13 drives the clamping block 15 close to the sleeve 9 through the connecting plate 14. By tightening the knob 12, the clamping block 15 and the sleeve 9 cooperate with each other to clamp the connecting line 3, so that the sleeve 9 is fixed. The movable clamp 18 is moved so that it rotates around the central pin 17 under the action of an external force, so that the movable clamp 18 is separated from the serrated clamp 20, and the force-bearing shell 11 is moved to the designated clothing clamping position. The clothing portion is moved between the movable clamp 18 and the serrated clamp 20, and the movable clamp 18 is released, so that the second spring 19 can use its elastic force to drive the movable clamp 18 to reset, so that the movable clamp 18 is close to the serrated clamp 20. The movable clamp 18 and the serrated clamp 20 cooperate with each other to clamp the clothing of the user at the appropriate part, thereby supporting the connecting line 3 and preventing the connecting line 3 from being pulled off by external force, and preventing the contact of the electrode patch 6 from being unstable;

[0038] When it is necessary to adjust the fixed position of the housing 9, the knob 12 is loosened, so that the first spring 16 uses its own elastic force to drive the connecting plate 14 to move, and the connecting plate 14 drives the disc 13 and the clamping block 15 to move, so that the clamping block 15 no longer clamps the connecting line 3, thereby facilitating the user to make adjustments.

[0039] Figures 1 to 5 As shown, two bottom plates 21 and two top plates 25 are fixedly installed on one side of the stimulator body 1, and the top of the bottom plate 21 is fixedly installed with an annular shell 22 and a center column 23, and the annular shell 22 is located on the outside of the center column 23, and the top plate 25 is located on the top of the annular shell 22 and the center column 23, and the top of the center column 23 is fixedly installed with a limiting plate 24, and the limiting plate 24 is located on the inner side of the top plate 25, and the top of the limiting plate 24 is fixedly installed with a threaded shell 26, and a rotating block 27 is movably installed on the inner side of the threaded shell 26, and a threaded cover 28 is threadedly installed on the outer side of the threaded shell 26, and the threaded cover 28 is located on the outer side of the rotating block 27, and a rotating plate 29 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating block 27, and the rotating plate 29 is located on the top of the threaded cover 28, and a long rod 30 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the rotating plate 29, and the long rod 30 passes through the gap between the limiting plate 24 and the top plate 25, and is located between the annular shell 22 and the center column 23.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the connecting wire 3 needs to be stored, the user rotates the rotating plate 29, so that the rotating plate 29 drives the long rod 30 to rotate around the rotating block 27. Under the action of external force, the long rod 30 moves along the gap between the limiting plate 24 and the top plate 25, so that the long rod 30 can drive the connecting wire 3 to be wound around the outside of the central column 23. When the connecting wire 3 is stored, the user twists the threaded cover 28, so that the threaded cover 28 moves downward under the thread support of the threaded shell 26, so that the threaded cover 28 cooperates with the limiting plate 24 to squeeze and fix the rotating block 27, thereby supporting the stored connecting wire 3 by fixing the long rod 30, so as to achieve the effect of quick storage and protect the connecting wire 3.

[0041] When the user is in use, he or she simply loosens the threaded cover 28 and pulls the connecting wire 3 out along the gap between the top plate 25 and the annular shell 22 .

[0042] Working principle: When the user uses the swallowing neuromuscular electrical stimulator, the user rotates the support frame 8 so that the support frame 8 rotates around the base frame 7 under the action of external force, so that the support frame 8 can support the stimulator body 1, so that the user can place the stimulator body 1 on the desktop, insert the two plugs 2 into the socket position of the stimulator body 1, the user takes out the patch 5, sticks the two electrode heads 4 on the two electrode stickers 6 on the patch 5, and moves the two shells 9 to the specified position of the connecting line 3 according to the user's own situation. By tightening the knob 12, the clamping block 15 and the shell 9 cooperate with each other to clamp the connecting line 3, so that the shell 9 is fixed, and the movable clamp 18 and the serrated clamp 20 cooperate with each other to clamp the user's clothes at the appropriate part, loosen the threaded cover 28, pull out the connecting line 3, the user moves the two electrode stickers 6 to the throat, sticks the patch 5 on the throat for fixation, and performs stimulation treatment by opening the stimulator body 1.

[0043] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles described in the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
