[0033] Reference Figures 1-5 A mouth shape trainer includes a base 1, an adjustment component 2 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1, a display component 3 is provided on one side of the adjustment component 2, and a support component 4 is provided at the bottom of the base 1.
[0034] The adjustment assembly 2 includes vertical tubes 200 fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base 1. A slider 201 is slidably connected inside the vertical tube 200. A slide rod 202 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider 201. One end of the slide rod 202 passes through the vertical tube 200 and extends to the outside of the vertical tube 200. Sliding grooves are provided on opposite sides of the two vertical tubes 200. The two sliders 201 are fixedly connected by a sliding plate 203. A lead screw 204 is inserted into the sliding plate 203. The bottom of the lead screw 204 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base 1 via a bearing. A threaded hole is provided on the sliding plate 203 for the lead screw 204 to pass through, and the threaded hole is threadedly connected to the lead screw 204. A turntable is fixedly installed on the top of the lead screw 204. The surface of the turntable has anti-slip textures. The turntable facilitates the rotation of the lead screw 204 during use, thereby facilitating the height adjustment of the sliding plate 203 on the lead screw 204. The vertical tube 200 has a groove on one side for the sliding rod 202 to pass through, and the inner wall of the groove is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod 202. The inner wall of the sliding groove on the other side of the vertical tube 200 is slidably connected to the surface of the moving plate 203. The groove and sliding groove facilitate the passage of the sliding rod 202 and the moving plate 203, ensuring their normal passage and facilitating subsequent use. A sliding strip 205 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the vertical tube 200. A semi-circular groove is provided on one side of the slider 201 for the sliding strip 205 to pass through, and the inner wall of the semi-circular groove is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding strip 205. The sliding strip 205 provides convenient support for the slider 201 during use, thus facilitating its movement. The slider 201 is compatible with the vertical tube 200, and the surface of the slider 201 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical tube 200.
[0035] The display component 3 includes a housing 300 fixedly mounted on one end of the slide bar 202. A connecting rod 301 is fixedly mounted on the front surface of the housing 300. Cameras 302 are fixedly mounted on the inner side of the connecting rod 301 and on the front surface of the housing 300. A display screen 303 is embedded on the front surface of the housing 300. A main unit 304 is fixedly mounted on the top of the housing 300. The adjustable component 2 and the display component 3 are configured to record the mouth shape during spoken pronunciation. The height of the display component 3 can also be adjusted according to the height of the spoken language trainee, thus facilitating the adaptation of the camera 302 to the height of the trainee's mouth. To facilitate lip-reading recording and maintain accuracy, ensuring the recorded lip shape matches the height of the lip shape at the time of pronunciation, vertical rods 305 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the housing 300. Limiting grooves are formed inside the vertical rods 305, and limiting rods 306 are slidably connected inside the limiting grooves. The opposite ends of the two limiting rods 306 are fixedly connected through a display plate 307. A slot is formed on the top of the display plate 307, and an observation hole communicating with the slot is formed on the front surface of the display plate 307. The limiting rods 306 and the display plate 307 facilitate the positioning of the lip-reading image during use, making subsequent oral practice easier.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the support component 4 includes a round tube 400 fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. An electric push rod 401 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the round tube 400. A bracket 402 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the electric push rod 401.

At the same time, it can also move and place the trainer according to the usage requirements, and facilitate the adjustment of the position of the trainer, thereby improving the ease of use of the trainer.
[0037] Working principle: During use, the electric push rod 401 is controlled to work, causing the bracket 402 and roller 403 on the electric push rod 401 to extend or retract into the round tube 400. When the roller 403 extends out of the round tube 400, it can support the movement of the trainer. When the roller 403 enters the round tube 400, the round tube 400 supports the trainer, which facilitates its installation and positioning. Then, when the height of the trainer needs to be adjusted, the lead screw 204 is rotated, which causes the lead screw 204 to drive the slider 201 on the moving plate 203 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the display component 3 on one side of the slider 202. Then, the camera 302 records the lip movements during oral training and displays them on the display screen 303 through the host 304. At the same time, lip movement training images can also be inserted on the display board 307 for display, analysis and learning.
