Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the production of medical devices, specifically to a clinical swallowing disorder detection and exercise device. Background Technology

[0002] Swallowing disorders can be caused by neurological diseases or any related muscle lesions. Swallowing disorders affect daily life and, if left untreated, can lead to serious consequences, including aspiration and lung infections. They are particularly common in the elderly. Currently, the medical standard for diagnosing swallowing disorders is pharyngography and flexible laryngoscopy for swallowing function testing. The former involves radiation, while the latter is invasive. Both methods rely on large instruments, lack specific quantitative indicators, depend on the physician's subjective ability, and lack specialized equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clinical swallowing disorder detection and training device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a clinical swallowing disorder detection and exercise device, including a spoon handle and a spoon bowl, wherein one end of the spoon handle is provided with a probe, and the probe is provided with a threaded section on the side near the end of the spoon handle;

[0005] The probe extends into the threaded connection portion provided on the ladle bowl and is threadedly assembled with the threaded connection portion through the threaded segment;

[0006] The spoon handle has a hollow structure and a memory elastic transparent tube is installed inside it. The memory elastic transparent tube communicates with the inside of the spoon bowl through a through hole opened on the probe.

[0007] The other end of the spoon handle is provided with a manual valve that connects to one end of the memory elastic transparent hose.

[0008] Preferably, the spoon handle is made of transparent plastic.

[0009] Preferably, the spoon handle is provided with scale lines.

[0010] Preferably, the length of the spoon handle is 20 centimeters.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the probe is a spherical head.

[0012] Preferably, the spherical head and the probe are provided with coolant.

[0013] Preferably, the spoon bowl is provided with a ring-shaped scale marking, which consists of five rings, representing 1 ml, 3 ml, 5 ml and 10 ml respectively.

[0014] Preferably, the spoon handle has a notch located near the manual valve, and the memory elastic transparent hose is exposed at the notch.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the present invention provides a clinical swallowing disorder detection and training device with the following beneficial effects: by closing the manual valve and pressing the memory elastic transparent tube, boiled water is drawn into the memory elastic transparent tube. Then, by passing the manual valve, the liquid in the memory elastic transparent tube is discharged to the spoon bowl at a predetermined amount. Then, the spoon bowl is placed on the tongue, and by controlling the amount of boiled water entering the spoon bowl, the weight applied to the tongue by the spoon bowl is controlled.

[0016] Secondly, by separating the spoon handle from the bowl and refrigerating the spoon handle, the probe can be made to be cold, thus providing a low-temperature stimulation against the uvula.

[0017] The two methods described above achieve the technical objectives of swallowing disorder detection and training. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a clinical swallowing disorder detection and training device includes:

[0025] The spoon handle 1, made of transparent plastic, is 20 centimeters long and has graduations 13 on its outer wall for observing the amount of boiled water drawn from the memory elastic transparent hose 3 located inside the spoon handle 1. Furthermore, combined with... Figure 1 It is known that a notch is provided on the spoon handle 1 near the manual valve 4, and the memory elastic transparent hose 3 is exposed at the notch. Therefore, when the probe 11 at one end of the spoon handle 1 is inserted into boiled water, the boiled water can be drawn into the memory elastic transparent hose 3 under negative pressure by repeatedly pressing the exposed memory elastic transparent hose 3. When it is necessary to drain the liquid from the memory elastic transparent hose 3, the manual valve 4 can be opened.

[0026] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the memory elastic transparent flexible tube 3 is completely fitted to the inner wall of the spoon handle 1, and only the exposed part can be pressed.

[0027] The ladle bowl 2 has five ring-shaped graduation marks 22 inside, representing 1 ml, 3 ml, 5 ml and 10 ml respectively, for observing the amount of milliliters discharged into the ladle bowl 2 by the memory elastic transparent tube 3.

[0028] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a threaded section 12 is provided on the side of the probe 11 near the end of the spoon handle 1. The probe 11 extends into the threaded connection part 21 provided on the spoon bowl 2 and is threadedly assembled with the threaded connection part 21 through the threaded section 12, thereby forming a complete spoon.

[0029] Furthermore, the end of the probe 11 in the embodiment is a spherical head 111. Coolant is provided inside the spherical head 111 and the probe 11. This coolant can be Freon, cooling oil, or water, etc. After the spoon handle 1 is placed in a refrigerator for refrigeration, the probe 11 becomes cold, allowing it to be pressed against the uvula for a low-temperature stimulation.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the manual valve 4 is closed, and the memory elastic transparent hose 3 is pressed to draw boiled water into the memory elastic transparent hose 3. Then, the liquid in the memory elastic transparent hose 3 is discharged through the through hole 14 to the spoon bowl 2 for a predetermined amount through the manual valve 4. Then, the spoon bowl 2 is placed on the tongue, and the weight applied to the tongue by the spoon bowl 2 is controlled by controlling the amount of boiled water entering the spoon bowl 2.

[0031] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
