It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0046] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0047] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0048] The specific embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] In this article, terms such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate the relative positional relationship between related parts, rather than to define the absolute position of these related parts.

[0050] In this article, "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish one another, and not to indicate degree of importance, order, or prerequisite for each other.

[0051] In this document, terms such as “equal” and “same” are not strict mathematical and / or geometric limitations, but also include errors that are understandable to those skilled in the art and permissible in manufacturing or use.

[0052] To address the problem in existing technologies where some patients' tongues bend downwards, and the tongue suction device cannot be properly positioned to suction the tongue due to the obstruction of the teeth, this disclosure provides a tongue muscle trainer.

[0053] The tongue muscle trainer disclosed herein includes a handle 1, a tongue mid-suction cup 2, and a tongue tip suction cup 3. The tongue mid-suction cup 2 is disposed on the handle 1 and is configured to fix the tongue body through the upper surface of the tongue under the action of a first suction generating device 4. The tongue tip suction cup 3 is disposed on the handle 1 and is configured to adsorb the tongue tip under the action of a second suction generating device 5.

[0054] In practical applications, the tongue muscle trainer needs to firmly attach and fix the tip of the tongue, and then pull the tongue body to move under the action of external force to complete the rehabilitation training of the tongue body.

[0055] Specifically, during use, the user holds the handle 1, bringing the tongue suction cup 2 into contact with the upper surface of the tongue. Then, the user adjusts the first suction generating device 4, which provides suction to firmly attach the tongue suction cup 2 to the upper surface of the tongue. The user then applies force through the handle 1 to lift the tongue, exposing the tip of the tongue so that it is not obstructed by the teeth.

[0056] The user aligns the tongue tip suction cup 3 with the tip of the tongue and adjusts the second suction generating device 5 to ensure the tongue tip suction cup 3 firmly adheres to the tip of the tongue. The user can then apply force through the handle 1 to guide tongue movement and complete tongue rehabilitation training.

[0057] The tongue muscle trainer disclosed herein has a simple structure. By setting a middle tongue suction cup 2 to assist the tip tongue suction cup 3 in completing the suction and fixation of the tip of the tongue, it avoids the problem of inaccurate suction position of the tip tongue suction cup 3 due to teeth blocking, as well as the problem of weak adhesion between the tip tongue suction cup 3 and the tip of the tongue.

[0058] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the tongue suction cup 2 includes a suction cup body 21, the suction cup body 21 is provided with a hollow cavity 211, the hollow cavity 211 is connected to the first suction generating device 4, and the lower surface of the suction cup body 21 is provided with a plurality of through holes 23 connected to the hollow cavity 211, and a suction cup 22 is installed at the end of the through hole 23.

[0059] In the tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure, the tongue suction cup 2 is provided with multiple suction cups 22 to achieve adsorption with the upper surface of the tongue. Specifically, the suction cup body 21 serves as the carrier of the multiple suction cups 22 and is configured as a hollow structure. The first suction force generating device 4 can provide suction to the multiple suction cups 22 through the hollow cavity 211 of the suction cup body 21 and the through hole 23 provided on the lower surface of the suction cup body 21.

[0060] It should be noted that, in terms of material selection, the suction cup 22 can be made of soft materials such as rubber or silicone, while the outer material of the hollow cavity 211 of the suction cup body 21 needs to have a certain degree of hardness, such as polyvinyl chloride. This is to prevent the side wall of the hollow cavity 211 from being excessively deformed due to the suction force during the process of the first suction force generating device 4 providing suction force to the suction cup 22, thereby blocking the through hole 23 and affecting the normal operation of the suction cup 22.

[0061] The tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure sets multiple suction cups 22 on the suction cup body 21. While ensuring the suction effect of the suction cups 22 on the tongue, it makes the force on the upper surface of the tongue more uniform, improves the user experience, and compared with a single suction cup 22 with the same function, multiple dispersed suction cups 22 are more conducive to ensuring airtightness during suction, thereby ensuring the suction strength.

[0062] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the first suction generating device 4 includes a first chamber 41, a first piston 42, and a first pull rod 43. The first chamber 41 is disposed within the handle 1 and communicates with the hollow cavity 211. The first piston 42 is slidably disposed within the first chamber 41 and dynamically sealed to the peripheral wall of the first chamber 41. One end of the first pull rod 43 extends into the first chamber 41 and is fixedly connected to the first piston 42, while the other end extends out from the handle 1.

[0063] In the tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure, the handle 1 is provided with a first chamber 41. When the user adjusts the suction of the first suction generating device 4, the first piston 42 can be pulled relative to the first chamber 41 by the first pull rod 43.

[0064] Because the first piston 42 is dynamically sealed to the peripheral wall of the first chamber 41, a negative pressure is created between the first piston 42 and the first chamber 41 when the first piston 42 moves along the peripheral wall of the first chamber 41 away from the tongue suction cup 2. Since the first chamber 41 is connected to the hollow cavity 211 of the tongue suction cup 2, the suction cup 22 connected to the hollow cavity 211 will generate suction, thereby causing the tongue suction cup 2 to adhere and fix to the upper surface of the tongue.

[0065] Furthermore, in one embodiment provided in this disclosure, the second suction generating device 5 includes a second chamber 51, a second piston 52, and a second pull rod 53. The second chamber 51 is disposed within the handle 1 and communicates with the suction port 31 of the tongue-tip suction cup 3. The second piston 52 is slidably disposed within the second chamber 51 and dynamically sealed to the peripheral wall of the second chamber 51. One end of the second pull rod 53 extends into the second chamber 51 and is fixedly connected to the second piston 52, while the other end extends out from the handle 1.

[0066] Similar to the first suction generating device 4, the second suction generating device 5 also provides suction to the tongue tip suction cup 3 by the user pulling the second push rod 72 and the second piston 52. The difference is that the volume of the second chamber 51 is larger than the volume of the first chamber 41.

[0067] The reason is that the first suction generating device 4 provides suction for the tongue suction cup 2, and the second suction generating device 5 provides suction for the tongue tip suction cup 3. In the rehabilitation training of the tongue, the tongue tip suction cup 3 plays the main role in adsorption and fixation, and the force is also transmitted to the tongue through the tongue tip suction cup 3 when the user pulls the tongue to move.

[0068] The middle tongue suction cup 2 only plays an auxiliary role in the process of the tongue tip suction cup 3 adsorbing the tongue tip. After the tongue tip suction cup 3 completes the adsorption and fixation of the tongue tip, the user needs to release the first pull rod 43. The middle tongue suction cup 2 will gradually release the adsorption on the upper surface of the middle tongue. This is to take into account that when the user performs rehabilitation training on the tongue body, the tongue body needs to be deformed as a whole in order to better achieve the purpose of tongue muscle training. If the middle tongue suction cup 2 continues to tighten the middle part of the tongue during the rehabilitation training process, it will make it difficult for the muscles in the middle part of the tongue to deform, thus affecting the rehabilitation training of the tongue body.

[0069] Therefore, the suction force required for the tongue tip suction cup 3, as an important device in tongue rehabilitation training, is greater than that required for the tongue middle suction cup 2. Thus, in the tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure, the volume of the second cavity is greater than the volume of the first chamber 41.

[0070] In addition, both the first suction generating device 4 and the second suction generating device 5 allow the user to control the piston movement by pulling a lever, thereby adjusting the suction force. This ensures that the suction force of the tongue suction cup 2 and the tongue tip suction cup 3 is controllable during use, preventing the tongue from being poorly attached due to insufficient suction or causing pain due to excessive suction, thus improving the user experience.

[0071] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the tongue tip suction cup 3 is retractably mounted on the handle 1.

[0072] Considering that the tongue muscle trainer requires the tongue body to be lifted using the tongue suction cup 2 to expose the tip of the tongue during use, and to avoid the tongue tip suction cup 3 being too close to the tongue suction cup 2 and thus interfering with the teeth, thereby affecting the operation of the tongue suction cup 2, the tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure has the tongue tip suction cup 3 retractably mounted on the handle 1.

[0073] Specifically, in one embodiment, the tongue tip suction cup 3 and the handle 1 are connected by two connecting rods, and the connection between the two connecting rods and the tongue tip suction cup 3 and the handle 1 is hinged. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the tongue tip suction cup 3 and the handle 1, it is only necessary to adjust the angle between the two connecting rods.

[0074] Meanwhile, the connecting rod is hollow inside and equipped with a soft straw. One end of the soft straw is connected to the second suction generating device 5, and the other end is connected to the tongue tip suction cup 3. This structure ensures that the second suction generating device 5 provides suction to the tongue tip suction cup 3, while also allowing for position adjustment of the tongue tip suction cup 3 relative to the handle 1.

[0075] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the tongue suction cup 3 is retractably mounted on the handle 1 via a telescopic rod 6.

[0076] Specifically, the telescopic rod 6 is designed as a hollow structure to ensure that the second suction generating device 5 provides suction to the tongue tip suction cup 3 through the telescopic rod 6. At the same time, the telescopic rod 6 is composed of multiple rods connected by a dynamic seal to ensure airtightness. Under the action of external force, the telescopic rod 6 retracts, thereby adjusting the distance between the tongue tip suction cup 3 and the handle 1.

[0077] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the end of the telescopic rod 6 is connected to the tongue tip suction cup 3 via a ball joint structure.

[0078] In the tongue muscle trainer disclosed herein, a ball head is provided at the end of the telescopic rod 6, and a central hole is provided at the ball head along the central axis of the telescopic rod 6. The end of the tongue tip suction cup 3 connected to the telescopic rod 6 is provided with a sliding shoe that is adapted to the ball head. The bottom of the sliding shoe is connected to the suction port 31 of the tongue tip suction cup 3. The sliding shoe and the ball head cooperate to realize a small range of angle adjustment of the tongue tip suction cup 3 relative to the telescopic rod 6.

[0079] In practical applications, after the user exposes the tip of the tongue through the tongue suction cup 2, the user adjusts the extension of the telescopic rod 6 so that the tongue tip suction cup 3 is close to the tip of the tongue. Since the second suction generating device 5 provides suction to the tongue tip suction cup 3, under the action of suction, the tip of the tongue and the tongue tip suction cup 3 can adaptively adjust their angles to achieve alignment between the tip of the tongue and the tongue tip suction cup 3, thereby completing the adsorption of the tongue tip by the tongue tip suction cup 3.

[0080] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the tongue muscle trainer further includes an adjustment mechanism 7 configured to adjust the extension amount of the telescopic rod 6.

[0081] Considering that the telescopic rod 6 is connected to the tongue tip suction cup 3, when the user adjusts the position of the tongue tip suction cup 3 using the adjusting rod, the distance between the handle 1 and the patient's tongue tip restricts the user's operating space, making it inconvenient for the user to adjust the telescopic rod 6. Furthermore, directly adjusting the telescopic rod 6 may accidentally touch the tongue tip suction cup 3, which needs to adhere to the patient's tongue tip, making it unhygienic.

[0082] Therefore, the tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure, by setting the adjustment mechanism 7, adjusts the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 6 at a position far away from the tongue tip suction cup 3, which is convenient for user operation and avoids the problem of the tongue tip suction cup 3 being unhygienic due to accidental touch by the user.

[0083] Specifically, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the adjustment mechanism 7 includes a push rod 72 and a push button 71. One end of the push rod 72 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 6, and the push button 71 is fixedly connected to the other end of the push rod 72 and extends partially through the guide groove of the handle 1. The guide groove extends along the telescopic direction of the telescopic rod 6. The push button 71 is configured to slide along the guide groove after being subjected to force, so as to push the push rod 72 to drive the telescopic rod 6 to extend and retract.

[0084] In practical applications, the user pushes the push rod 72 with the push button 71 to adjust the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 6, thereby adjusting the distance between the tongue tip suction cup 3 and the handle 1. Since the handle 1 has a guide groove, the push button 71, when subjected to force, drives the push rod 72 to move along the direction of the guide groove. Therefore, it is easier for the user to quickly align the tongue tip suction cup 3 with the tongue tip and then firmly attach and fix the tongue tip.

[0085] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the tongue tip suction cup 3 is configured as a groove adapted to the tongue tip, and the bottom of the groove is provided with a plurality of suction ports 31.

[0086] In order to ensure that the sidewall of the tongue tip suction cup 3 can fit against the tongue tip during the process of suctioning the tongue tip, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the suction, the tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure sets the tongue tip suction cup 3 as a groove adapted to the tongue tip, and the bottom of the groove is provided with a suction port 31, which is connected to the second chamber 51 of the second suction generating device 5.

[0087] Furthermore, during tongue tip training, the user needs considerable suction force to maintain the tongue tip position by using the tongue tip suction cup 3 to guide the tongue tip movement. Therefore, the tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure has multiple suction ports 31 at the bottom of the tongue tip suction cup 3. While ensuring the suction force of the tongue tip suction cup 3, the suction force can be distributed to different positions of the tongue tip through multiple suction ports 31, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive tongue tip deformation and pain caused by a single suction port 31 and excessive suction force.

[0088] To facilitate the explanation of the tongue muscle trainer provided in this disclosure, an application scenario will be used to better illustrate the tongue tip trainer.

[0089] When using the tongue muscle trainer, the user first inserts the tongue suction cup 2 into the mouth and places the side of the tongue suction cup 2 with the suction cup 22 against the middle of the tongue. The user then adjusts the first suction generating device 4 to fix the tongue suction cup 2 against the upper surface of the middle of the tongue.

[0090] Then, the user applies force to handle 1, raising it and causing the tongue suction cup 2 to move closer to the palate. Since the tongue suction cup 2 is fixed to the middle of the tongue, it pulls the tongue upwards, exposing the tip of the tongue to the teeth. The user pushes button 71 to move lever 72 to adjust the position of the tongue tip suction cup 3, making it roughly fit against the tip of the tongue. Then, the user adjusts the second suction generating device 5 to firmly attach the tongue tip suction cup 3 to the tip of the tongue, and releases the first suction generating device 4, causing the tongue suction cup 2 to loosen from the middle of the tongue. This ensures that the tongue can deform as a whole during subsequent tongue traction training, preventing the muscles in the middle of the tongue from becoming fixed due to the suction cup 2, thus hindering deformation and affecting the training effect.

[0091] After that, the user can use the handle 1 to pull the tip of the tongue, thereby moving the entire tongue and training the tongue muscles.

[0092] The various embodiments of this disclosure have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, and are not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
