[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a children's tongue movement and resistance training device includes a malleable frame 1 with an open-top U-shape. A crossbar 2 is detachably mounted between the openings of the frame 1. A ball 3 is slidably mounted on the crossbar 2. A pair of springs 4 are mounted on the crossbar 2 on both sides of the ball 3. The outer ends of the springs 4 are detachably connected to the inner sides of the frame 1, while the inner ends of the springs 4 are free. When the tongue tip flicks the ball 3, the ball 3 contacts the springs 4 on both sides, providing resistance to the ball 3. This allows for resistance training while simultaneously improving tongue dexterity. A vertical handle 5 is fixed to the bottom of the frame 1.

[0029] The inner sides of both ends of the fixing bracket 1 are respectively fitted with blind holes 12 (damping fit) that mate with the two ends of the crossbar 2. The fixing bracket 1 below the blind holes 12 is respectively fixed with fixing ears 13 that mate with the spring 4.

[0030] The crossbar 2 consists of several cylindrical crossbars of different lengths but the same diameter.

[0031] Spring 4 consists of several pairs, each with a different diameter and length.

[0032] The fixing frame 1 includes a malleable metal rod 14 in the middle, and a rubber rod 15 (high hardness) is wrapped and fixed on the outside of the metal rod 14.

[0033] The handle 5 is a vertical cuboid with a circular through hole 51 at the bottom.

[0034] The handle 5 has arc-shaped grooves 52 embedded on the left and right sides of the center position.

[0035] The two ends of the fixing frame 1 are convex spherical structures 11, which protect children.

[0036] When in use, when the horizontal bar 2 is horizontal, the tongue tip flicks the ball 3 left and right, and the spring 4 increases resistance on both sides, increasing the training intensity. When the horizontal bar 2 is vertical, the tongue tip flicks the ball 3 up and down, and the spring 4 increases resistance on both sides. The fixing frame 1 is malleable, so the width of the opening can be changed, allowing for the replacement of horizontal bars 2 of different lengths and adjustment of the swing stroke to suit children of different ages. Furthermore, springs 4 of different lengths and intensities can be fitted at both ends according to the child's age to adjust the resistance, expanding the applicability. The handle 5 is easy for children to grip, and the circular through hole 51 facilitates hanging, storage, or securing the lanyard. The arc-shaped groove 52 provides anti-slip properties for children's fingers, ensuring a firm grip. Example 2

[0037] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, an annular baffle 31 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the sphere 3, and the plane of the annular baffle 31 is perpendicular to the crossbar 2.

[0038] When in use, the annular baffle 31 makes the smooth surface of the ball 3 have a raised structure, which makes it easier for the tongue to move and solves the problem that the smooth surface of the ball 3 is not easy to move.
