Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation therapy technology, and in particular to a training device for swallowing dysfunction. Background Technology

[0002] Dysphagia refers to difficulty swallowing food, liquids, or medications. It can affect people of any age, but is particularly common in the elderly. The disorder can be classified into three types: oral dysphagia, pharyngeal dysphagia, and esophageal dysphagia. Symptoms include pain when swallowing, a feeling of food stuck in the throat, aspiration, and weight loss.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. (CN210472381 U) discloses a swallowing dysfunction training device, which describes: "It includes a disposable stimulation stick, an ice water storage and collection device, and an air pumping device. One end of the disposable stimulation stick is connected to the ice water storage device of the ice water storage and collection device via a conduit, and the other end is connected to the collection device of the ice water storage and collection device via a conduit. The ice water storage device of the ice water storage and collection device is connected to the air pumping device. By pressurizing the air pumping device, ice water is poured into the disposable stimulation stick, so that the part of the disposable stimulation stick in contact with the affected area contains ice water, thereby providing cold stimulation treatment to the patient's throat. After the ice water returns to normal temperature, the air pumping device continues to pressurize, and the ice water in the stimulation stick is discharged into the collection device through the conduit. The ice water in the ice water storage device is then injected back into the stimulation stick to continue the cold stimulation treatment. This device can save the use of disposable stimulation sticks and can maintain cold stimulation treatment for a long time."

[0004] In summary, the device also has the following technical problems: the device only stimulates the throat by repeatedly injecting cold and hot water, but swallowing disorders are caused by the inability of the throat muscles to concentrate their strength, so it is necessary to squeeze and massage the throat muscles. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a swallowing dysfunction training device to provide a new technical solution to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above patent.

[0030] The swallowing dysfunction training device provided by this utility model, by setting up a swallowing function training mechanism 2 and a control mechanism 3, places the first airbag 9, the second airbag 10 and the third airbag 11 in the throat. By pressurizing or supplying water to the inside of different tubes, expansion is achieved at different positions, thereby squeezing and stimulating the muscles in the throat. At the same time, cold or hot water can be supplied into the inside of the first airbag 9, the second airbag 10 and the third airbag 11 to stimulate the muscles in the throat, thereby achieving the purpose of assisting the recovery of swallowing function.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Please refer to Figures 2-5 A swallowing dysfunction training device, wherein the swallowing function training mechanism 2 includes a fixing ring 5, a first liquid supply tube 6, a second liquid supply tube 7, a third liquid supply tube 8 and an expansion and compression assembly, the fixing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the handle part 1, the first liquid supply tube 6, the second liquid supply tube 7 and the third liquid supply tube 8 are fixedly connected in a ring array in the middle part of the fixing ring 5, and pressure monitors are respectively provided in the middle parts of the first liquid supply tube 6, the second liquid supply tube 7 and the third liquid supply tube 8.

[0034] Specifically, the expansion and compression assembly includes a first airbag 9, a second airbag 10, and a third airbag 11. The first airbag 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the first liquid supply pipe 6 away from the fixing ring 5. The second airbag 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the second liquid supply pipe 7 away from the first liquid supply pipe 6. The third airbag 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the third liquid supply pipe 8 away from the first liquid supply pipe 6. The first airbag 9, the second airbag 10, and the third airbag 11 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the surface of the first liquid supply pipe 6.

[0035] Specifically, the control mechanism 3 includes a positioning groove 12, a sealed bearing 13, a rotating ring 14, a rotating assembly, and a liquid supply assembly. The surface of the fixed ring 5 is provided with a positioning groove 12, the inner wall of the positioning groove 12 is fixedly connected to the sealed bearing 13, and the middle part of the sealed bearing 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 14.

[0036] Specifically, the rotating assembly includes a guide rod 15, a guide groove 16, and an angle adjustment ring 17. The guide rod 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating ring 14. The guide groove 16 is opened on the surface of the handle part 1 and is opened around 240 degrees. The guide rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 16, and the end of the guide rod 15 away from the rotating ring 14 extends to the outside of the handle part 1. The end of the guide rod 15 away from the rotating ring 14 is fixedly connected to the angle adjustment ring 17.

[0037] Specifically, the liquid supply assembly includes an infusion pipe 18, a drain pipe 19, a storage tank 20, a booster pump 21, and an electromagnetic shut-off valve 22. The infusion pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating ring 14. Two drain pipes 19 are fixedly arranged in the middle of the rotating ring 14. The infusion pipe 18, the two drain pipes 19, and the first supply pipe 6, the second supply pipe 7, and the third supply pipe 8 in the fixed ring 5 are arranged symmetrically. The end of the infusion pipe 18 away from the rotating ring 14 is fixedly connected to the storage tank 20. The booster pump 21 is fixedly connected to the middle of the infusion pipe 18. The electromagnetic shut-off valve 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of the infusion pipe 18.

[0038] With the above structural design, when using the device, first place the handle 1, the second airbag 10, and the third airbag 11 on the patient's throat. Add cold or hot water to the reservoir 20, and turn on the booster pump 21 to supply the liquid inside the reservoir 20 to the first supply pipe 6 through the infusion tube 18. The liquid enters the middle of the first airbag 9 through the first supply pipe 6, causing the first airbag 9 to inflate. After the first airbag 9 inflates, it squeezes and massages the patient's throat and stimulates it with cold and hot water. When the pressure inside the first airbag 9 is high, the electromagnetic blocking valve 22 automatically closes because the infusion tube 18 is connected to it. At this time, the pressure can be stopped for a period of time so that the first airbag 9 can continue to squeeze the throat. After completion, rotate the angle adjustment ring 17 120 degrees. The angle adjustment ring 17 rotates through the sealed bearing 13 and the middle of the positioning groove 12 to align the infusion tube 18 with the second supply pipe 7. At the same time, the first supply pipe 6 is aligned with the drain pipe 19 so that the liquid inside the first airbag 9... When the body is expelled, the electromagnetic blocking valve 22 opens and delivers liquid into the second supply tube 7 through the booster pump 21 and the infusion tube 18. The liquid enters the second airbag 10 through the second supply tube 7, causing the second airbag 10 to inflate. When the internal pressure of the second airbag 10 is high, the electromagnetic blocking valve 22 closes again. After a period of time, the angle adjustment ring 17 is rotated again to align the infusion tube 18 with the third supply tube 8. At this time, the electromagnetic blocking valve 22 opens and delivers liquid into the third supply tube 8 through the booster pump 21 and the infusion tube 18, causing the third airbag 11 to inflate. After the third airbag 11 inflates, it squeezes the throat again. When the internal pressure of the third airbag 11 is high, the electromagnetic blocking valve 22 automatically closes the infusion tube 18. After a period of time, the angle adjustment ring 17 is reversed to align the infusion tube 18 with the first supply tube 6. At this time, the third supply tube 8 aligns with the drain tube 19 and the liquid inside the third airbag 11 is discharged. This process is repeated to train the throat.
