[0034] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to the embodiments of the present application, a swallowing function ice stimulation rehabilitation device is provided, which comprises a stimulation rod 2 and a water tank 7, and the water tank 7 is filled with cold water. The stimulation rod 2 comprises a first water pipe 4, a second water pipe 8 and a stimulation body, and the stimulation body is provided with a closed inner cavity 3. The first end of the first water pipe 4 and the first end of the second water pipe 8 are both in communication with the water tank 7, and the second end of the first water pipe 4 and the second end of the second water pipe 8 are both in communication with the inner cavity 3 of the stimulation body. When using the device, the stimulation body will be in contact with the treatment site of the patient, and the body temperature of the patient will increase the temperature of the stimulation body during treatment. In order to achieve the purpose of stimulation, it is necessary to continuously maintain the low temperature state of the stimulation body. Therefore, a water pump 5 is installed on the first water pipe 4, so that the water in the inner cavity 3 of the stimulation body can be quickly exchanged with the cold water in the water tank 7, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the stimulation body.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the stimulation rod 2 is a tubular structure with a closed first end, and a partition plate 31 is arranged in the tubular structure, and the inner cavity 3 is formed between the partition plate 31 and the first end of the tubular structure. The second end of the first water pipe 4 and the second end of the second water pipe 8 both extend into the tubular structure from the second end of the tubular structure and pass through the partition plate 31 to communicate with the inner cavity 3.

[0036] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the water tank 7 is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. A water pump 5 is installed on the top of the water tank 7, and a suction pipe 6 is provided at the suction end of the water pump 5. The suction pipe 6 extends into the bottom of the water tank 7 through the first through hole. The first end of the first water pipe 4 is connected to the discharge end of the water pump 5 and is connected to the water tank 7 through the water pump 5. The first end of the second water pipe 8 extends into the water tank 7 through the second through hole. After the water pump 5 is started, the water pump 5 can draw water out of the water tank 7 and return it to the water tank 7 along the first water pipe 4, the inner cavity 3 of the stimulator, and the second water pipe 8.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a controller 21 is provided on the water tank 7, and the water pump 5 is electrically connected to the controller 21. The controller 21 is provided with a button, which can be used to control the start and stop of the water pump 5.

[0038] After prolonged water exchange, the water temperature in tank 7 will rise.

Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the water tank 7 is provided with a connector hole 15, which can be used to connect at least one ice box 16. At least a portion of the ice box 16 is immersed in the water in the water tank 7 and exchanges heat with the water, so that the water in the water tank 7 can be maintained in a low temperature range. When the ice box 16 loses its cooling function, the water temperature in the water tank 7 will rise. At this time, the ice box 16 with a cooling function can be replaced. Before use or after losing its cooling function, the ice box 16 needs to be placed in a freezer or similar refrigeration equipment to cool it down as soon as possible and regain its cooling function for use.

[0039] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the ice box 16 includes a shell with a chamber 17 for filling with refrigerant, including water or other quick-freezing agents. Since the refrigerant inside the ice box 16 expands during cooling, a refrigerant with a small coefficient of expansion can be selected to fill the chamber 17. Alternatively, the shell of the ice box 16 can be made of a material with a certain expansion capacity.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first end of the ice box 16 is provided with a sealing cap 19. After the ice box 16 is inserted into the water tank 7, the second end of the ice box 16 will extend into the water. The sealing cap 19 of the ice box 16 is sealed to the insertion hole 15 to achieve the function of heat preservation.

[0041] In some embodiments, the ice box 16 has at least one through hole 18 on its body, which divides the interior of the body into several small chambers 17. The through hole 18 increases the contact area between the ice box 16 and water, allowing for better heat exchange and achieving rapid cooling.

[0042] In some embodiments, the outer side of the sealing cover 19 is provided with a handle 20, which facilitates the installation or removal of the ice box 16. Moreover, the handle 20 is away from the part of the ice box 16 with the lowest temperature, which can prevent frostbite of the fingers.

[0043] In some embodiments, the rehabilitation device of the present application further comprises at least one temperature sensor, which is arranged in the water tank 7 or / and the inner cavity 3 of the stimulating body, for monitoring the water temperature. The temperature sensor is electrically connected with the controller 21, and the controller 21 can obtain the water temperature in the water tank 7 through the temperature sensor. When the water temperature exceeds or does not reach the preset low temperature range, the controller 21 will shut down or fail to start the water pump 5.

[0044] In some embodiments, the rehabilitation device of the present application further comprises a display screen, which is electrically connected with the controller 21, and the display screen can display the working state of the water pump 5, the temperature of the water and other information.
