AI Technical Summary
Postoperative patients who chew food while lying in bed face the risk of food entering the airway, leading to serious consequences such as suffocation. Current technology lacks effective and safe chewing solutions.
A chewing trainer was designed, including a mouth support, a chewing component, and an automatic propulsion device. The chewing component is detachably connected to the side of the mouth support and has a small hole for communication and a storage cavity. The automatic propulsion device is used to slowly push food into the oral cavity to avoid accidental entry into the airway and reduce the frequency of operation by medical staff.
By using a small connecting hole and an automatic propulsion device, chewing movements are safely simulated, reducing the risk of food entering the airway and alleviating the workload of medical staff.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to a chewing trainer. Background Technology
[0002] Postoperative abdominal distension is a common complication for bedridden surgical patients. This is usually due to surgical stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract or the nerves controlling it, leading to slowed or temporarily stopped peristalsis and gas accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract. Chewing is a simple and effective method to help improve postoperative abdominal distension. Its principle is mainly to stimulate the release of neurohormones through "sham feeding," increasing the activity of the gastrointestinal system, shortening the postoperative paralytic ileus time, and reducing the occurrence of intestinal obstruction and adhesions. However, for bedridden patients, chewing poses certain safety risks. It can easily lead to food entering the airway, causing suffocation and other serious consequences, posing a significant threat to the patient's life. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a chewing training device.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a chewing trainer, comprising a mouth support, a chewing component, and an automatic propulsion device. The chewing component is detachably disposed on the side of the mouth support. The chewing component has a receiving cavity and a communicating hole. The communicating hole includes multiple holes, which communicate with the receiving cavity. The mouth support has a columnar protrusion, and the columnar protrusion has a storage cavity for storing food. The storage cavity communicates with the receiving cavity. The automatic propulsion device is disposed on the top of the columnar protrusion and extends into the storage cavity to automatically squeeze the food in the storage cavity into the receiving cavity.
[0005] Furthermore, the storage cavity has a cylindrical structure.
[0006] Furthermore, the automatic propulsion device includes a propulsion base, a propulsion spring, and a propulsion plate. The propulsion base is threadedly connected to the side wall of the storage cavity. One end of the propulsion spring is fixedly mounted on the propulsion base, and the propulsion plate is fixedly mounted on the other end of the propulsion spring. The propulsion plate has a disc-shaped structure.
[0007] Furthermore, the push plate is made of food-grade plastic material.
[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the push plate is 1 mm smaller than the diameter of the storage cavity.
[0009] Furthermore, a snap-fit device is provided between the chewing component and the mouth support.
[0010] Furthermore, the snap-fit device includes a snap-fit groove, a snap-fit block, a first magnet, and a second magnet. The snap-fit groove is disposed on the side of the mouth rest, and the snap-fit block is disposed on the chewing piece. The snap-fit block has an L-shaped structure and a through hole. The first magnet is disposed on the side wall of the mouth rest, and the second magnet is disposed on the side wall of the snap-fit block. When the snap-fit block is snapped into the snap-fit groove, the first magnet and the second magnet are connected.
[0011] Furthermore, the chewing piece is made of silicone.
[0012] Furthermore, the mouthpiece has an 8-shaped structure.
[0013] Furthermore, the mouthpiece is equipped with a handle.
[0014] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the chewing trainer provided by the present invention has the following advantages: it is provided with a mouth support and a chewing component, the chewing component is detachably set on the side of the mouth support, the chewing component is provided with a receiving cavity and a connecting hole, the connecting hole has a very small diameter, and there are multiple connecting holes, which are connected to the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is used to hold food. When chewing, the food slowly enters the patient's oral cavity through the connecting hole, thereby avoiding food from accidentally entering the airway and threatening the patient's life. At the same time, the mouth support is provided with a columnar protrusion, and the columnar protrusion is provided with a storage cavity for storing food. The storage cavity is connected to the receiving cavity, and the top of the columnar protrusion is provided with an automatic pushing device. The automatic pushing device extends into the storage cavity to automatically squeeze the food in the storage cavity into the receiving cavity, thereby avoiding the need for medical staff to continuously fill the receiving cavity with food and reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0018] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0019] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, a chewing trainer includes a mouth support 1, a chewing component 2, and an automatic propulsion device 3. The chewing component 2 is detachably mounted on the side of the mouth support 1. The chewing component 2 has a receiving cavity 21 and a connecting hole 22. The connecting hole 22 has a very small diameter, 1 mm. There are multiple connecting holes 22, and the multiple connecting holes 22 communicate with the receiving cavity 21. The receiving cavity 21 is used to hold food. During chewing, the food slowly enters the patient's oral cavity through the connecting hole 22, thereby preventing food from accidentally entering the mouth. The airway can pose a threat to the patient's life. At the same time, the mouthpiece 1 is provided with a columnar protrusion 11, and the columnar protrusion 11 is provided with a storage cavity 111 for storing food. The storage cavity 111 is connected to the receiving cavity 21. The automatic propulsion device 3 is provided on the top of the columnar protrusion 11 and extends into the storage cavity 111 to automatically squeeze the food in the storage cavity into the receiving cavity 21, thereby avoiding the need for medical staff to continuously fill the receiving cavity 21 with food and reducing the workload of medical staff.
