[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer, the following will combine the utility model specific embodiment and corresponding drawings to make the utility model technical scheme clear and complete. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skill in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of the utility model protection.

[0023] The following will combine the drawings to describe the technical scheme provided by each embodiment of the utility model in detail.

[0024] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of speech swallowing function training device, including block 1, the block 1 is square long strip, the front of the block 1 is provided with multiple grooves 11, the multiple grooves 11 are sequentially arranged in line from the front end of block 1 to the end, ball 2 is placed on the groove 11 at the front end of the block 1, insertion slot 12 corresponding with groove 11 is provided on the lateral wall of the block 1, and insertion slot 12 and the bottom of groove 11 are interconnected, corresponding card 3 is inserted in the insertion slot 12;

[0025] When the patient with speech swallowing disorder uses the device to carry out rehabilitation training, the patient can sit on a chair, double arms are supported and placed on the desktop, then the block 1 is held to the lip by double hands, then medical staff places ball 2 on the groove 11 at the front end of the block 1, then the patient blows to ball 2 on the block 1, the patient can change the shape of lip by controlling the muscle movement in oral cavity, to change the air flow size blown from the oral cavity of the patient, to exercise the muscle control of the patient in oral cavity, so that ball 2 in groove 11 is blown to the specified groove 11, the muscle control training in oral cavity of the patient is carried out, to assist the use of muscle in oral cavity of the patient when speaking;

[0026] Meanwhile, after the patient finishes blowing, the patient can take a quick inhalation, so that the patient can drive the laryngeal muscle movement during the quick inhalation, so as to exercise the use of the laryngeal muscle of the patient, and then practice the swallowing action of the larynx. The card 3 can be inserted into the slot 12 provided in the block 1, and the card 3 can be a digital card 3 or a color card 3, which is used to identify the corresponding groove 11, and the corresponding card 3 can be seen in the groove 11 provided on the block 1. The patient can blow the ball 2 into the groove 11 in which the specified digital or color card 3 is inserted according to the requirements of the medical staff, so as to enrich the content of the blowing exercise, so that the patient can make a judgment according to the grooves 11 in different positions and the corresponding card 3, and control the mouth to implement blowing in different states and intensities, so that the ball 2 can be blown into the corresponding groove 11, and the exercise of the larynx and the muscle tissue of the mouth is strengthened.

[0027] In further embodiments, the plurality of grooves 11 are arranged in sequence from the front end to the rear end of the block 1, and the plurality of grooves 11 are arranged in a linear arrangement, and the spacing between every two grooves 11 is the same.

[0028] By setting the spacing between the grooves 11, the difficulty of the patient blowing the ball 2 from one groove 11 to another groove 11 is increased, so as to train the patient to adjust the intensity of the airflow blown from the oral cavity by controlling the oral muscle.

[0029] In further embodiments, the block 1 is provided with side baffles 4 on both sides, and the two side baffles 4 are used to limit the two sides of the block 1. The side baffles 4 are fixedly provided with insertion strips 41 on the side close to the block 1, and the block 1 is provided with clamping grooves 13 for fixing the insertion strips 41 on both sides.

[0030] The side baffles 4 are installed on both sides of the block 1, and the height of the two side baffles 4 is higher than that of the ball 2. In this way, when the patient blows the ball 2 on the block 1 and moves it to the specified position, the ball 2 can be prevented from moving off the block 1 during the movement of the block 1. The cooperation of the clamping groove 13 and the insertion strip 41 makes the side baffle 4 more convenient to disassemble and assemble on the block 1.

[0031] In further embodiments, the diameter of the groove 11 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 2, and the abutting part between the groove 11 and the lower part of the ball 2 is provided in a narrow lower and wide upper state, forming a slope with a slope.

[0032] By setting the diameter of the groove 11 smaller than the ball 2, the ball 2 can be prevented from directly falling into the bottom of the groove 11 when placed on the groove 11, so that the ball 2 cannot be blown out of the groove 11. By designing the abutting part between the groove 11 and the lower part of the ball 2 as a slope with a narrow lower part and a wide upper part, the lower surface of the ball 2 can be closely fitted with the abutting part of the groove 11, so that the ball 2 can be prevented from rolling out of the groove 11 due to small shaking of the patient's body.

[0033] In further embodiments, the ball 2 can be a ping-pong ball or other light ball. Since the ping-pong ball itself is light, the problem that the ball 2 is too heavy to be blown out of the groove 11 by the patient can be avoided.

[0034] In further embodiments, the two sides of the block 1 contacting the patient's hands are provided with anti-slip stickers 5. When the patient holds the block 1, the patient's body can be weak due to the recovery training. Therefore, the anti-slip stickers 5 can increase the friction force between the block 1 and the patient's hands, so that the problem that the patient falls off the block 1 can be avoided.

[0035] The above description is only an embodiment of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. The present application can be variously changed and modified by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
