Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a device for measuring the strength of the lip and tongue muscles. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of oral medicine, training the lip and tongue muscles can improve the overall control of the oral and facial structures. During training, the strength of the lip and tongue muscles is generally measured to help doctors analyze any abnormalities in the patient's lip and tongue muscle function. The strength and shape of the lip muscles affect tooth alignment and occlusion. Training the lip muscles can help improve lip shape, mouth breathing, incomplete lip closure, lip eversion, perioral muscle tension, chin muscle tension, and assist in the treatment of protruding teeth and habitual tongue thrusting, among other things. The tongue muscles, located within the oral cavity, play a supporting role in maintaining the shape of the oral cavity. Training the tongue muscles can exercise the facial muscles, helping to maintain a certain spatial shape of the oral cavity and providing a stable environment for the teeth, gums, and other oral tissues.

[0003] In the prior art, for multifunctional measuring devices capable of measuring lip and tongue muscles, although they can measure lip muscle strength and tongue muscle strength separately by changing the measuring part, the measuring part of the device only has a tongue pressing member or upper lip stop and lower lip stop for transmitting force. It cannot provide good lip and tooth positioning when measuring tongue muscle strength, nor can it provide good tooth positioning when measuring lip muscle strength, thus affecting the accuracy of lip and tongue muscle strength measurement.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve one or more of the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technical solutions.

[0005] It should be noted that this section is intended to provide background or context for the technical solutions of the invention as set forth in the claims. The description herein does not imply acceptance as prior art simply because it is included in this section. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for measuring the strength of the lip and tongue muscles, thereby overcoming one or more problems caused by the limitations and defects of related technologies to a certain extent.

[0007] According to this utility model, a device for measuring lip and tongue muscle strength is provided, comprising:

[0008] The main structure includes a housing and a sensor assembly. The housing has a receiving cavity and a mounting port communicating with the receiving cavity, and the sensor assembly is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0009] A replaceable tongue muscle measuring mechanism and / or lip muscle measuring mechanism, wherein both the tongue muscle measuring mechanism and the lip muscle measuring mechanism include a positioning component and a force transmitting component, the positioning component being detachably mounted on the mounting port, and the force transmitting component being detachably connected from the mounting port to the sensor component;

[0010] The positioning component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism is used to position the lips and teeth, and the force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism is used to contact the tongue to cooperate with the sensor component for measuring tongue muscle force.

[0011] The positioning component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism is used to position the teeth, and the force transmission component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism is used to contact the lips to cooperate with the sensor component for measuring lip muscle force.

[0013] In this invention, the aforementioned lip and tongue muscle strength measuring device, on the one hand, by designing a main structure equipped with sensor components and a replaceable tongue muscle measuring mechanism and / or lip muscle measuring mechanism, enables the measuring device to measure lip muscle strength and / or tongue muscle strength; on the other hand, by designing the tongue muscle measuring mechanism and lip muscle measuring mechanism as structures including positioning components and force transmission components, the positioning components are detachably installed at the mounting port, and the force transmission components are detachably connected from the mounting port to the sensor components. This allows the positioning components to position the teeth during lip muscle strength measurement, and the force transmission components to contact the lips, ensuring that the position of the teeth in the oral cavity remains fixed during lip muscle strength measurement, thus ensuring that the motion force collected by the sensor components comes only from the lips; similarly, during tongue muscle strength measurement, the positioning components can position the lips and teeth, and the force transmission components can contact the tongue, ensuring that the lips and teeth in the oral cavity remain fixed during tongue muscle strength measurement, thus ensuring that the motion force collected by the sensor components comes only from the tongue, thereby ensuring the accuracy of muscle strength measurement.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided to make the present invention more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0036] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative diagrams of embodiments of the present invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.

[0037] This example embodiment first provides a device for measuring the strength of the lip and tongue muscles. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lip and tongue muscle strength measuring device includes a main structure and replaceable tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and / or lip muscle measuring mechanism 400. The main structure includes a housing 100 and a sensor assembly 200. The housing 100 has a receiving cavity 101 and a mounting port 102 communicating with the receiving cavity 101. The sensor assembly 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101. Both the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 include a positioning component and a force transmitting component. The positioning component is detachably mounted to the mounting port 102, and the force transmitting component is detachably connected to the sensor assembly 200 from the mounting port 102.

[0038] The tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 has a positioning component for positioning the lips and teeth, and a force transmission component for contacting the tongue to cooperate with the sensor component 200 for measuring tongue muscle force. The lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 has a positioning component for positioning the teeth, and a force transmission component for contacting the lips to cooperate with the sensor component 200 for measuring lip muscle force.

[0039] It should be explained that the measuring device of this application includes a main structure and replaceable tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and / or lip muscle measuring mechanism 400. This can be understood as follows: in one embodiment, the measuring device includes a main structure and replaceable tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and lip muscle measuring mechanism 400; in another embodiment, the measuring device includes a main structure and replaceable tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300; and in yet another embodiment, the measuring device includes a main structure and replaceable lip muscle measuring mechanism 400.

[0040] It should be understood that this embodiment does not limit the specific shape of the housing 100 and the receiving cavity 101 and mounting port 102 of the housing 100; the sensor assembly 200 installed in the receiving cavity 101 is close to the mounting port 102 so that the force transmission components of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 can be detachably connected from the mounting port 102 to the sensor assembly 200 in the receiving cavity 101; this embodiment does not limit the specific number of sensor assemblies 200, but it must meet the requirement of monitoring and collecting corresponding tongue muscle force data and lip muscle force data in tongue muscle force measurement scenarios and lip muscle force measurement scenarios.

[0041] The aforementioned lip and tongue muscle strength measuring device, on the one hand, by designing a main structure equipped with a sensor assembly 200 and replaceable tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and / or lip muscle measuring mechanism 400, enables the measuring device of this invention to measure lip muscle strength and / or tongue muscle strength; on the other hand, by designing the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 to include a positioning component and a force transmission component, the positioning component is detachably installed in the mounting port 102, and the force transmission component is detachably connected from the mounting port 102 to the sensor assembly 200, so that when measuring lip muscle strength, the positioning component can be used to position the teeth, and the force transmission component can be used to contact the lips, so that when measuring lip muscle strength, the position of the teeth in the oral cavity remains fixed, ensuring that the motion force collected by the sensor assembly 200 comes only from the lips; when measuring tongue muscle strength, the positioning component can be used to position the lips and teeth, and the force transmission component can be used to contact the tongue, so that when measuring tongue muscle strength, the lips and teeth in the oral cavity remain fixed, ensuring that the motion force collected by the sensor assembly 200 comes only from the tongue, thereby ensuring the accuracy of muscle strength measurement.

[0042] It should be understood that when using the measuring device in this embodiment to measure tongue muscle strength, the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 must first be installed on the main structure, that is, the positioning component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is installed at the mounting port 102, and the force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is installed and connected to the sensor component 200. When measuring tongue muscle strength, the positioning component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is used to position the lips and teeth of the test subject. The test subject places their tongue against the force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and exerts force with their tongue according to the tongue muscle training process. During the tongue movement, the force transmission component can transmit the force exerted by the tongue on the force transmission component to the sensor component 200, so that the sensor component 200 can collect the force from the tongue movement, which can be understood as tongue muscle strength data.

[0043] When using the measuring device in this embodiment to measure lip muscle strength, the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 needs to be installed on the main structure first. That is, the positioning component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is installed at the mounting port 102, and the force transmission component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is connected to the sensor component 200. When measuring lip muscle strength, the positioning component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is used to position the teeth of the test subject. The test subject places their upper and lower lips against the force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and exerts lip force according to the lip muscle training process. During the lip movement, the force transmission component can transmit the force exerted by the lips on the force transmission component to the sensor component 200 so that the sensor component 200 can collect the force from the lip movement, which can be understood as lip muscle strength data.

[0044] Below, we will refer to Figures 1 to 15 The various parts of the lip and tongue muscle strength measuring device described in this example embodiment will be explained in more detail.

[0045] In one embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sensor assembly 200 includes a first sensor 201 and a second sensor 202 radially spaced within the receiving cavity 101 along the mounting opening 102. The force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is connected to the first sensor 201, and the force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 cooperates with the first sensor 201 to measure tongue muscle force. The force transmission component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 includes an upper lip force transmission component and a lower lip force transmission component, which are connected one-to-one with the first sensor 201 and the second sensor 202. For example, the upper lip force transmission component is connected to the second sensor 202 to measure upper lip muscle force; the lower lip force transmission component is connected to the first sensor 201 to measure lower lip muscle force.

[0046] When measuring tongue muscle strength, the measuring device provided in this embodiment can collect the force from tongue movement through the first sensor 201. When measuring lip muscle strength, the measuring device provided in this embodiment can collect the force from lower lip movement through the first sensor 201 and the force from upper lip movement through the second sensor 202. Of course, it can be understood that by configuring the first sensor 201 and the second sensor 202, it is also possible to measure upper lip muscle strength or lower lip muscle strength separately according to measurement requirements.

[0047] Optionally, the force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300, the upper lip force transmission component and the lower lip force transmission component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 can be detached and connected to the corresponding sensors via screws or other fasteners.

[0048] In one embodiment, the positioning component includes a mounting component and a positioning component. The mounting component is detachably mounted to the mounting port 102. For example, the mounting component can be detached from the mounting port 102 by fasteners such as screws. This satisfies the disassembly requirements while providing more stable support for the positioning component. The positioning component is located outside the housing 100 and is detachably connected to the mounting component. The detachable connection between the positioning component and the mounting component includes, but is not limited to, detachable connection methods such as snap-fit, plug-in connection, magnetic connection, and threaded connection.

[0049] By designing the positioning component into a structure that includes both mounting and positioning parts, it can meet various accessory replacement scenarios. For example, the positioning part, as a consumable, can be replaced separately; while the mounting part, which serves to connect and fix, can be disassembled and replaced when the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 or the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 needs to be replaced.

[0050] In one embodiment, the force transmission component includes a connector and a pressure contact member. The connector is detachably connected to the sensor assembly 200 and partially extends out of the housing 100. For example, the connector can be detached from the sensor assembly 200 using fasteners such as screws. This satisfies the disassembly requirements while providing more stable support for the pressure contact member. The pressure contact member is located outside the housing 100 and is detachably connected to the connector. The detachable connection between the pressure contact member and the connector includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit, plug-in, magnetic, and threaded connections.

[0051] By designing the force transmission component into a structure that includes a connector and a pressure contact component, it can meet various accessory replacement scenarios. For example, the pressure contact component, which is a consumable, can be replaced separately; while the connector, which serves to connect and fix, can be disassembled and replaced when the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 or the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 needs to be replaced.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 8 As shown in the figure, the mounting component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is the first mounting base 310 shown in the figure. The first mounting base 310 includes a mounting cylinder 311 and a first connecting part 312. The mounting cylinder 311 is detachably connected to the mounting port 102, and the first connecting part 312 is provided at one end of the mounting cylinder 311. When the first mounting base 310 is installed in the mounting port 102, the mounting cylinder 311 of the first mounting base 310 is located in the receiving cavity 101 of the housing 100, the sensor assembly 200 is located in the mounting cylinder 311, and the first connecting part 312 of the first mounting base 310 is located outside the housing 100.

[0053] The first connecting portion 312 has a first slot 3121 on one side surface along the first direction and a first positioning bead 3122 on at least one side surface along the second direction. The positioning component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is the mouthpiece positioning component 320 shown in the figure. The mouthpiece positioning component 320 includes an alveolar portion 321 and a first locking rod 322 and a first support member 3212 connected to the alveolar portion 321. The first support member 3212 has a first positioning hole 323. When the mouthpiece positioning component 320 is connected to the first mounting base 310, the first locking rod 322 is locked in the first slot 3121 and the first positioning bead 3122 is accommodated in the first positioning hole 323.

[0054] The alveolar portion 321 of the mouthpiece positioning member 320 is used to hold the labial portion, thereby positioning the labial portion. Through the cooperation of the first slot 3121 on the first connecting portion 312 and the first locking rod 322 on the alveolar portion 321, and the cooperation of the first positioning bead 3122 and the first positioning hole 323, the mouthpiece positioning member 320 can be installed and removed by bending the alveolar portion 321 relative to the first connecting portion 312.

[0055] It should be noted that the structure of the first positioning bead 3122 may include a cylindrical body, a spring, and a bead. The cylindrical body has a mounting groove, the spring is installed inside the cylindrical body, and the bead is located at the groove opening of the cylindrical body and connected to the spring. The spring provides an elastic force to the bead, causing the bead to move relative to the cylindrical body under external force. This allows the bead of the first positioning bead 3122 to engage in the first positioning hole 323 when the bite positioning member 320 is installed, and to disengage from the first positioning hole 323 when the bite positioning member 320 is disassembled. It should also be noted that the first connecting portion 312 has a first mounting hole 3120 on at least one side surface along the second direction, and the cylindrical body of the first positioning bead 3122 is fitted into the first mounting hole 3120.

[0056] It should be explained that when installing the mouthpiece positioning component 320, first, the first locking rod 322 is engaged in the first locking groove 3121. Then, the toothed portion 321 is rotated in the direction towards the first positioning bead 3122 until the first positioning bead 3122 is engaged in the first positioning hole 323, thus completing the installation. When disassembling the mouthpiece positioning component 320, first, the portion of the toothed portion 321 closest to the first positioning hole 323 is pried to disengage the first positioning bead 3122 from the first positioning hole 323. Then, the toothed portion 321 is rotated in the direction away from the first positioning bead 3122, and force is applied to pull the first locking rod 322 out of the first locking groove 3121, thus completing the disassembly. Both the installation and disassembly processes require the application of a certain force to the toothed portion 321.

[0057] It should also be explained that the first direction and the second direction are set at an angle and are both perpendicular to the axial direction of the mounting port 102, wherein the axial direction of the mounting port 102 is shown in Figure 102. Figure 7 The direction indicated by the middle arrow ab, see the first direction. Figure 7 The direction indicated by the middle arrow cd; for the second direction, see [link to arrow]. Figure 7 The direction indicated by the middle arrow ef.

[0058] It should be noted that one end of the mounting cylinder 311 is provided with two first connecting portions 312, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction, that is, the two first connecting portions 312 are respectively located near the two edges of the mounting cylinder 311 in the first direction. The tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 has two corresponding mouthpiece positioning members 320, which are detachably connected to the two first connecting portions 312 respectively. Furthermore, the two mouthpiece positioning members 320 are used to position the upper lip teeth and lower lip teeth respectively, to ensure that the force collected by the first sensor 201 of the sensor assembly 200 comes only from the tongue, thereby ensuring the accuracy of muscle force measurement.

[0059] Optionally, a first ear 313 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the mounting cylinder 311. The first ear 313 has a first through hole, and the first ear 313 can be fixed to the mounting port 102 of the housing 100 by means of fasteners such as screws.

[0060] Optionally, the alveolar portion 321 is a curved structure. The inner side of this curved structure is used to hold the labial teeth and is provided with a protrusion 3211. The protrusion 3211 can position the labial teeth so as to correctly instruct the test subject to accurately hold the labial teeth against the alveolar portion 321. In addition, the outer side of the curved structure is provided with two first support members 3212 spaced apart along the second direction. The two ends of the first snap-fit ​​rod 322 are connected to the two first support members 3212. Each of the two first support members 3212 is provided with a first positioning hole 323. Therefore, optionally, the first connecting portion 312 can be provided with first mounting holes 3120 on both sides along the second direction. The first mounting holes 3120 are correspondingly installed with first positioning beads 3122 so that the two first positioning holes 323 and the two first positioning beads 3122 cooperate to improve the connection stability.

[0061] Optionally, the mounting cylinder 311 is larger in the second direction than the first connecting portion 312 in the second direction, so that the end of the mounting cylinder 311 with the first connecting portion 312 can stop the alveolar portion 321. That is, when the alveolar portion 321 is installed in place on the first connecting portion 312, the first locking rod 322 is engaged in the first locking groove 3121, the bead of the first positioning bead 3122 is accommodated in the first positioning hole 323, and the first support member 3212 abuts against the end of the mounting cylinder 311.

[0062] In one embodiment, reference Figures 4 to 6As shown in the figure, the connector of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is shown as a first connecting seat 330 in the figure. The first connecting seat 330 has a first receiving groove 331 at one end along the axial direction of the mounting port 102. A second positioning bead 332 is provided on the inner wall of the first receiving groove 331. The contact member of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 includes an insertion section 341 and a first contact portion 342 connected to one end of the insertion section 341. The first contact portion 342 is used to contact the tongue.

[0063] The insertion section 341 is provided with a guide groove 3411 and a positioning groove 3412. The guide groove 3411 extends along the axial direction of the mounting port 102 and extends to the end of the insertion section 341 away from the first contact portion 342. The positioning groove 3412 is close to the side of the guide groove 3411 facing the first contact portion 342. When the insertion section 341 is inserted into the first receiving groove 331, the second positioning bead 332 is located in the positioning groove 3412.

[0064] When the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is used in conjunction with the main structure to measure tongue muscle force, the first connecting seat 330 can be connected to the first sensor 201 using screws or other fasteners. One end of the first receiving groove 331 provided on the first connecting seat 330 is located outside the housing 100. When the pressing member of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is connected to the first connecting seat 330, the insertion section 341 of the pressing member is inserted into the first receiving groove 331. The second positioning bead 332 on the inner wall of the first receiving groove 331 is located in the positioning groove 3412 of the insertion section 341, ensuring a stable connection between the pressing member and the first connecting seat 330. It should be noted that the guide groove 3411 opened on the insertion section 341 can guide the insertion and removal of the pressing member during the installation and removal process, ensuring that the pressing member is quickly installed in place.

[0065] It should be noted that the structure of the second positioning bead 332 may include a cylinder, a spring, and a bead. The cylinder has a mounting groove, the spring is installed inside the cylinder, and the bead is located at the groove opening of the cylinder and connected to the spring. The spring provides an elastic force to the bead, allowing the bead to move relative to the cylinder under external force. This ensures that when the pressure element of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is installed, the bead of the second positioning bead 332 can be engaged in the positioning groove 3412, and when the pressure element is disassembled, the bead of the second positioning bead 332 can disengage from the positioning groove 3412. It should also be noted that the inner wall of the first receiving groove 331 is provided with a second mounting hole 3310, and the cylinder of the second positioning bead 332 is assembled at the second mounting hole 3310.

[0066] It should be explained that when installing the touch element of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300, first align the guide groove 3411 on the touch element with the second positioning bead 332 on the first connecting seat 330, and then move the touch element along the guide groove 3411 toward the first receiving groove 331 of the first connecting seat 330. During this process, it is only necessary to ensure that the second positioning bead 332 moves along the guide groove 3411. Finally, when the second positioning bead 332 moves to the side of the guide groove 3411 facing the first contact portion 342, bend the touch element in the direction of the positioning groove 3412 toward the guide groove 3411 so that the second positioning bead 332 is located in the positioning groove 3412, and the installation is complete. When disassembling the touch element of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300, first bend the touch element along the direction of the guide groove 3411 toward the positioning groove 3412 so that the second positioning bead 332 is accommodated in the guide groove 3411. Then pull the touch element outward along the guide groove 3411. During this process, just make sure that the second positioning bead 332 moves along the guide groove 3411 until the insertion section 341 is disengaged from the first accommodating groove 331, at which point the disassembly is complete.

[0067] Further reference Figures 5 to 6 As shown, a through hole 333 is provided on the inner wall of the first receiving groove 331, and a protrusion 3413 is provided on the insertion section 341. When the bead of the second positioning bead 332 is received in the positioning groove 3412, the protrusion 3413 is confined in the through hole 333. Through the limiting cooperation between the protrusion 3413 and the through hole 333, the stability between the contact member of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 and the first connecting seat 330 is further improved.

[0068] For example, guide grooves 3411 and positioning grooves 3412 on the insertion segment 341 are provided on both sides of the insertion segment 341 along the second direction, and protrusions 3413 on the insertion segment 341 are provided on one side of the insertion segment 341 along the first direction. This can improve the stability between the contact member and the first connecting seat 330, so as to ensure that the tongue force on the first contact portion 342 of the contact member can be accurately transmitted to the first sensor 201.

[0069] Optionally, the first connecting seat 330 is provided with a third receiving groove 334 at the other end along the axial direction of the mounting port 102, that is, the first receiving groove 331 and the third receiving groove 334 are respectively provided at both ends of the first connecting seat 330 along the axial direction of the mounting port 102. In addition, the first connecting seat 330 is also provided with a first stepped hole 335, the axial direction of which is parallel to the axial direction of the mounting port 102, and the two ends of the first stepped hole 335 are respectively connected to the first receiving groove 331 and the third receiving groove 334. The first stepped hole 335 provided on the first connecting seat 330 can accommodate fasteners such as screws for connecting the first connecting seat 330 and the first sensor 201, and the structural arrangement of the first receiving groove 331, the third receiving groove 334 and the first stepped hole 335 on the first connecting seat 330 facilitates the installation and removal of the first connecting seat 330 and the contact element, and maximizes the utilization of the first connecting seat 330.

[0070] Optional, see reference Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the pressing element of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 may be a first tongue pressing element 3401; in another embodiment, the pressing element of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 may be a second tongue pressing element 3402. Both the first tongue pressing element 3401 and the second tongue pressing element 3402 include the insertion section 341 and the first contact portion 342 as described in the above embodiments. The first contact portion 342 is connected to one end of the insertion section 341 and is used to contact the tongue. The difference between the first tongue presser 3401 and the second tongue presser 3402 is that the first contact portion 342 of the first tongue presser 3401 is a plate-like structure, and along the first direction, one side surface of the first contact portion 342 of the first tongue presser 3401 is a flat surface, and the other side surface is an outwardly convex curved surface, which is used to contact the middle of the tongue; the first contact portion 342 of the second tongue presser 3402 is a bent structure, including a first contact segment 3421 extending along the axial direction of the mounting opening 102 and a second contact segment 3422 extending along the first direction. The connection between the first contact segment 3421 and the second contact segment 3422 is connected to the insertion segment 341. The surface of the first contact segment 3421 facing the inside of the bent structure is an outwardly convex curved surface, and the surface of the second contact segment 3422 facing the inside of the bent structure is an inwardly concave curved surface. The second contact segment 3422 is close to the bite positioning member 320 used to position the lower lip teeth and is used to contact the tip of the tongue.

[0071] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , Figures 9 to 15As shown in the figure, the mounting component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is the second mounting base 410 shown in the figure. The second mounting base 410 can be detachably connected to the mounting port 102 by fasteners such as screws. The positioning component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is the bite bar positioning component 420 shown in the figure. The bite bar positioning component 420 includes a bite bar body 421. One end of the bite bar body 421 is connected to the second mounting base 410 of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400, and the other end is located outside the housing 100 for positioning teeth.

[0072] The teeth are positioned by the bite bar body 421 to ensure that the motion force collected by the sensor assembly 200 comes only from the lips, thereby ensuring the accuracy of lip muscle force measurement.

[0073] Furthermore, the bite bar positioning component 420 also includes a bite bar sleeve 422 detachably connected to the other end of the bite bar body 421. By designing the bite bar positioning component 420 as a combination structure of the bite bar body 421 and the bite bar sleeve 422, the bite bar body 421 stably connects the bite bar positioning component 420 to the second mounting base 410, while also facilitating the removal of the bite bar sleeve 422, which is a consumable item. The bite bar positioning component 420 positions the teeth to ensure that the motion force collected by the sensor assembly 200 originates only from the lips, thereby ensuring the accuracy of lip muscle force measurement.

[0074] It should be noted that the teeth can be positioned using the bite bar body 421 during measurement; of course, the teeth can also be positioned by further installing a bite bar sleeve 422 on the bite bar body 421.

[0075] Optionally, the second mounting base 410 is cylindrical. When the second mounting base 410 is installed in the mounting port 102, the second mounting base 410 is located in the receiving cavity 101 of the housing 100, and the sensor assembly 200 is located in the second mounting base 410. The bite bar body 421 includes a fixed section 4211 and a snap-fit ​​section 4212 connected along its own axial direction. When the bite bar body 421 is assembled with the second mounting base 410, the fixed section 4211 of the bite bar body 421 passes through the second mounting base 410 and is located between the first sensor 201 and the second sensor 202. The snap-fit ​​section 4212 of the bite bar body 421 is located outside the housing 100, and the bite bar sleeve 422 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​section 4212.

[0076] Optionally, the width of the fixing section 4211 of the bite bar body 421 is greater than the width of the snap-fit ​​section 4212, which ensures that the fixing section 4211 is stably connected to the second connecting seat 430 while reducing the overall material consumption of the bite bar body 421.

[0077] Furthermore, the second mounting base 410 has two opposing first fixing grooves 411 at one end along the axial direction of the mounting opening 102. The inner walls of the two side walls of the second mounting base 410 arranged at intervals in the second direction are respectively provided with second fixing grooves 412. The second fixing grooves 412 extend along the axial direction of the second mounting base 410 and their two ends are connected to the two ends of the second mounting base 410. The two sides of the fixing section 4211 away from the end of the snap-fit ​​section 4212 are respectively provided with limiting fixing parts 4214. When the fixing section 4211 of the bite rod body 421 is assembled with the second mounting base 410, the two sides of the fixing section 4211 along the second direction are respectively accommodated in the two second fixing grooves 412, and the limiting fixing parts 4214 of the fixing section 4211 are respectively accommodated in the second fixing grooves 412.

[0078] Optionally, a second ear 413 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the second mounting base 410. The second ear 413 has a second through hole, and the second ear 413 can be fixed to the mounting port 102 of the housing 100 by screws or other fasteners.

[0079] Further reference Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the other end of the bite bar body 421 is provided with two locking portions 4213 on both sides, wherein the other end of the bite bar body 421 can be regarded as the locking section 4212 of the bite bar body 421; the bite bar sleeve 422 includes a biting portion 4221 and two extension portions 4222 respectively connected to the two side surfaces of the biting portion 4221. The biting portion 4221 has a second receiving groove 4223 at one end facing the bite bar body 421. The extension portion 4222 extends along a second direction and has a second locking groove 4224 communicating with the second receiving groove 4223. When the other end of the bite bar body 421 is received in the second receiving groove 4223, the locking portion 4213 can be locked in the second locking groove 4224.

[0080] The above-described structure facilitates the installation and removal of the bite bar sleeve 422 from the bite bar body 421. When installing the bite bar sleeve 422, simply push it along the length of the bite bar body 421 from the snap-fit ​​section 4212 towards the fixing section 4211. Once the snap-fit ​​part 4213 engages in the second slot 4224, the bite bar sleeve 422 is in place. The length of the bite bar body 421 can be considered the axial direction of the second mounting base 410. When removing the bite bar sleeve 422, simply pull the two extensions 4222 to the sides to remove the snap-fit ​​part 4213 from the second slot 4224, thus removing the bite bar sleeve 422 from the bite bar body 421.

[0081] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​portion 4213 provided on the bite bar body 421 is in the shape of a spike, which is beneficial to reduce installation resistance and disassembly resistance.

[0082] Optionally, the biting part 4221 of the bite bar sleeve 422 is provided with a limiting protrusion 4225 at one end away from the extension part 4222. The limiting protrusion 4225 protrudes relative to the surface of the biting part 4221. The limiting protrusion 4225 can position the teeth so as to correctly instruct the test subject to hold the teeth precisely against the biting part 4221.

[0083] In one embodiment, reference Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown in the figure, the connector of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is shown as a second connecting seat 430 in the figure. The second connecting seat 430 has a third slot 4311 on one side surface along the first direction and a third positioning bead 4312 on at least one side surface along the second direction. The contact member of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is shown as a lip stop 440 in the figure. The lip stop 440 includes a second contact portion 441 and a second locking rod 442 and a second support member 4411 connected to the second contact portion 441. The second support member 4411 has a second positioning hole 443. The first direction and the second direction are set at an angle and are both perpendicular to the axial direction of the mounting port 102. When the lip stop 440 is connected to the second connecting seat 430, the second locking rod 442 is engaged in the third slot 4311, and the third positioning bead 4312 is accommodated in the second positioning hole 443.

[0084] The lip stop 440 is used to contact the lip. The second locking rod 442 on the second contact part 441 cooperates with the third locking groove 4311 on the second connecting seat 430, and the second positioning hole 443 cooperates with the third positioning bead 4312, so that the lip stop 440 can be installed and removed by bending the second contact part 441 relative to the second connecting seat 430.

[0085] It should be noted that the structure of the aforementioned third positioning bead 4312 may include a cylindrical body, a spring, and a bead. The cylindrical body has a mounting groove, the spring is installed inside the cylindrical body, and the bead is located at the groove opening of the cylindrical body and connected to the spring. The spring provides an elastic force to the bead, causing the bead to move relative to the cylindrical body under external force. This allows the bead of the third positioning bead 4312 to engage in the second positioning hole 443 when the lip stop 440 is installed, and to disengage from the second positioning hole 443 when the lip stop 440 is removed. It should also be noted that the aforementioned second connecting seat 430 has a third mounting hole 4310 on at least one side surface along the second direction, and the cylindrical body of the third positioning bead 4312 is assembled into the third mounting hole 4310.

[0086] It should be explained that when installing the lip stop 440, first engage the second locking rod 442 into the third locking slot 4311, then rotate the second contact part 441 in the direction towards the third positioning bead 4312 until the third positioning bead 4312 is engaged in the second positioning hole 443, thus completing the installation. When disassembling the lip stop 440, first pry the part of the second contact part 441 near the second positioning hole 443 to disengage the third positioning bead 4312 from the second positioning hole 443, then rotate the second contact part 441 in the direction away from the third positioning bead 4312 and apply force to pull the second locking rod 442 out of the third locking slot 4311, thus completing the disassembly. Both the installation and disassembly processes require applying a certain force to the lip stop 440.

[0087] It should be noted that the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 has two second connecting seats 430, each detachably connected to the first sensor 201 and the second sensor 202 respectively; the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 has two lip stops 440, each detachably connected to the two second connecting seats 430 respectively. It should be noted that one second connecting seat 430 and one lip stop 440 together constitute the upper lip force transmission component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400, and the other second connecting seat 430 and the other lip stop 440 together constitute the lower lip force transmission component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400, so as to realize the measurement of upper and lower lip muscle strength.

[0088] Optionally, the second contact portion 441 is a curved structure, with its inner side used to contact the lip. Additionally, the outer side of the curved structure is provided with two second support members 4411 spaced apart along the second direction. The two ends of the second latching rod 442 are connected to the two second support members 4411. Each of the two second support members 4411 is provided with a second positioning hole 443. Therefore, optionally, the second connecting seat 430 can be provided with third mounting holes 4310 on both sides along the second direction. A third positioning bead 4312 is correspondingly installed at each of the third mounting holes 4310, so that the two second positioning holes 443 and the two third positioning beads 4312 cooperate to improve connection stability.

[0089] Optionally, the second connecting seat 430 is provided with a second connecting part 431 at one end along the axial direction of the mounting port 102, wherein a third slot 4311 is provided on one side surface of the second connecting part 431 along the first direction, and the cylinders of the two third positioning beads 4312 are respectively installed in the two third mounting holes 4310 on the two sides surface of the second connecting part 431 along the second direction.

[0090] Optionally, the second connecting seat 430 is larger in the second direction than the second connecting portion 431 in the second direction, so that the end of the second connecting seat 430 with the second connecting portion 431 can stop the second contact portion 441. That is, when the second contact portion 441 is installed in place on the second connecting seat 430, the second locking rod 442 is engaged in the third locking groove 4311, the ball of the third positioning bead 4312 is accommodated in the second positioning hole 443, and the second support member 4411 abuts against the end of the second connecting seat 430.

[0091] Optionally, the second connecting seat 430 has a fourth receiving groove 4314 at the end away from the second connecting portion 431. The fourth receiving groove 4314 is used to receive part of the first sensor 201 or part of the second sensor 202. The second connecting portion 431 has a second stepped hole 4313. The axis of the second stepped hole 4313 is parallel to the axis of the mounting port 102, and one end of the second stepped hole 4313 is connected to the surface of the second connecting portion 431, and the other end is connected to the fourth receiving groove 4314. The second stepped hole 4313 provided on the second connecting portion 431 can accommodate fasteners such as screws used to connect the second connecting seat 430 and the first sensor 201 and the second sensor 202. The structural arrangement of the fourth receiving groove 4314 and the second stepped hole 4313 on the second connecting seat 430 facilitates the installation and removal of the second connecting seat 430 and the lip stop 440, and maximizes the utilization of the second connecting seat 430.

[0092] Optionally, the housing 100 includes a bottom housing 1001, two side housings 1002 assembled with the bottom housing 1001, and a cover 1003 connected above the two side housings 1002. The two side housings 1002 are bent structures, and their bottoms, together with the bottom housing 1001, form the base of the main device. The middle portions of the two side housings 1002 form a grip for holding, and their tops, together with the cover 1003, form a mounting structure with a receiving cavity 101 and a mounting opening 102. A silicone sleeve is provided on the outer surface of the housing 100.

[0093] Optionally, the first sensor 201 and the second sensor 202 in this embodiment may be strain gauge sensors or the like.

[0094] It should be noted that the main structure also includes a controller, a display 110, and a power supply assembly mounted on the housing 100. The controller is connected to the sensor assembly 200 and is located inside the housing 100. The display 110 is connected to the controller and is located on the outer surface of the housing 100. The power supply assembly is connected to the controller and is located inside the housing 100. The main structure also includes a trigger switch 120 and a power switch. The trigger switch 120 is connected to the controller and is located outside the housing 100, near the grip. The trigger switch 120 is used to control the sensor assembly 200 to start acquiring data via the controller. The power switch is electrically connected to the controller and is located outside the housing 100. The power switch is used to control the controller to start or stop acquiring data.

[0095] Optionally, both the first sensor 201 and the second sensor 202 in this embodiment may include an elastic body structure, a strain gauge, and a measuring circuit. The strain gauge is disposed on the elastic body structure, and the measuring circuit is electrically connected to the strain gauge and the controller. When the elastic body structure is subjected to force and deforms, the strain gauge on it generates a corresponding strain. That is, when the strain gauge is subjected to mechanical stress, its resistance value will change proportionally with the strain of the device. This change can be converted into a change in voltage or current by the measuring circuit, thereby enabling accurate measurement. The aforementioned measuring circuit may be a Wheatstone bridge or similar circuit, which is an existing technology in the field of sensor force measurement and will not be described in detail here.

[0096] It should be explained that the force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 is detachably connected to the elastic structure of the first sensor 201, so that when measuring tongue muscle force, the force transmission component of the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 transmits the tongue force to the elastic structure of the first sensor 201, and then acts on the strain gauge to achieve tongue muscle force measurement. Similarly, the upper lip force transmission component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is detachably connected to the elastic structure of the second sensor 202, and the lower lip force transmission component of the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 is detachably connected to the elastic structure of the first sensor 201, so that when measuring upper lip muscle force and / or lower lip muscle force, the upper lip force transmission component transmits the upper lip force to the elastic structure of the second sensor 202, and then acts on the strain gauge to achieve upper lip muscle force measurement; the lower lip force transmission component transmits the lower lip force to the elastic structure of the first sensor 201, and then acts on the strain gauge to achieve lower lip muscle force measurement.

[0097] It should also be noted that when measuring tongue or lip muscle strength, the elastic structure of the corresponding sensor deforms under the force exerted by the tongue or lips. This causes the strain gauge on the sensor to produce corresponding strain. When the strain gauge is subjected to mechanical stress, it converts this stress into a resistance value. The differential voltage signal of the strain gauge resistance is then acquired by the measuring circuit and amplified. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) performs analog-to-digital conversion on the amplified signal. The controller acquires the converted digital signal, calibrates, filters, and calculates it, converting it into force values ​​to obtain the corresponding tongue, upper lip, and lower lip muscle strength values. This section describes the conventional force sensor and controller used in existing technologies for force measurement. Since these methods can be adapted and adjusted for different testing scenarios, they will not be elaborated upon further here.

[0098] It should also be noted that when using the measuring device provided in this embodiment for measurement: First, install the tongue muscle measuring mechanism 300 or the lip muscle measuring mechanism 400 on the main structure according to the muscle strength measurement requirements. Press and hold the power switch to start the main device and select the measurement mode, such as the tongue muscle measurement mode or the lip muscle measurement mode. Then, bring the device into contact with the test area of ​​the subject and press the trigger switch 120 to start the measurement. The measurement ends when the trigger switch 120 is pressed again or when the preset time is reached. During the measurement process, the display 110 displays the measured force value processed by the controller in real time. After the measurement is completed, press and hold the power switch to turn off the main device.

[0099] It should also be noted that in other implementations, the controller can also send the data collected by the sensor component 200 to the host computer via Wi-Fi or data cable. The host computer processes the data collected by the sensor component 200 to obtain the magnitude of the tongue muscle strength or lip muscle strength, and can send the processed data to the user terminal for the user to view. This application does not involve the data processing methods of the host computer, and will not be described in detail here.
