Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a pelvic floor muscle training device. Background Technology

[0002] The pelvic floor muscles are the group of muscles that close the bottom of the pelvis, maintaining the normal position of organs such as the urethra, bladder, vagina, uterus, and rectum so that they can function properly. If this muscle group is damaged to a certain extent, these organs may not be able to maintain their normal position, resulting in corresponding functional disorders such as urinary and fecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Therefore, it is necessary to massage the pelvic floor muscles using a pelvic floor muscle training device.

[0003] Current pelvic floor muscle training devices primarily work by inserting a single airbag into the vagina and then inflating and deflating it to massage and train the pelvic floor muscles. However, relying solely on a single airbag cannot provide targeted massage to specific muscle areas, resulting in poor massage effects. Furthermore, the existing pelvic floor muscle training devices are not designed to fit the female anatomy, making insertion difficult and potentially causing discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a pelvic floor muscle training device that can solve the problems of poor massage effect and inconvenience of use of existing pelvic floor muscle trainers.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes a pelvic floor muscle training device, comprising:

[0006] At least two airbags, each airbag including a probe portion and a bend portion, the probe portion and the bend portion being connected, and both the probe portion and the bend portion having a hollow internal structure;

[0007] A trachea, wherein the trachea is connected to the end of the probe portion away from the bend;

[0008] An inflation / deflation component is connected to the end of the air tube away from the probe portion. The inflation / deflation component is configured to inflate or deflate the airbag through the air tube, causing the probe portion and the bend portion to expand and contract.

[0009] In some embodiments, the end of the bent portion away from the probe portion is provided with a thickened portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, the at least two airbags are symmetrically arranged, and each airbag has a corresponding air tube on its probe portion.

[0011] In some embodiments, a recess is formed between the at least two airbags.

[0012] In some embodiments, there is a smooth transition between the probe portion and the bend portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the pelvic floor muscle training device further includes a pressure sensor disposed on the inner surface of the probe portion.

[0014] In some embodiments, the airbag is a silicone airbag, and the trachea is a silicone trachea.

[0015] In some embodiments, the inflation / deflation component is integrally formed with the air tube, or the inflation / deflation component is detachably connected to the air tube.

[0016] In some embodiments, the inflation / deflation component is an electric inflation / deflation device, which is equipped with a controller, a data acquisition module, and a display screen. The controller is configured to control the inflation and deflation volumes. The data acquisition module is electrically connected to a pressure sensor inside the probe. The display screen is configured to display the inflation / deflation volumes and data acquisition information.

[0017] In some embodiments, the pelvic floor muscle training device further includes a heating element disposed between the inflation / deflation component and the air tube, for heating the gas delivered to the air tube.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0019] The pelvic floor muscle training device provided in this application inflates and deflates at least two airbags through an inflation and deflation component. At this time, the probe and the bending part can expand and contract. In this way, during the expansion and contraction process, the pelvic floor muscles can be continuously pressed and relaxed to improve the contraction force and coordination of the muscle group in the pelvic floor muscles, thereby enhancing the massage effect on the pelvic floor muscles.

[0032] The following is a detailed description of this application.

[0033] This application proposes a pelvic floor muscle training device, such as Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 As shown, the pelvic floor muscle training device includes at least two airbags, an air tube 13, and an inflation / deflation component 16. Each airbag includes a probe portion 11 and a bend portion 12, which are connected. Both the probe portion 11 and the bend portion 12 have hollow interiors. The air tube 13 is connected to the end of the probe portion 11 away from the bend portion 12. The inflation / deflation component 16 is connected to the end of the air tube 13 away from the probe portion 11. The inflation / deflation component 16 is configured to inflate and deflate the airbags through the air tube 13, causing the probe portion 11 and the bend portion 12 to expand and contract.

[0034] In this embodiment, the probe portion 11 and the bent portion 12 have a smooth transition. The arc-shaped airbag structure formed by the probe portion 11 and the bent portion 12 is similar to the shape of the vaginal dome, which makes it easy to fit the four parts of the vagina: front, back, left, and right.

[0035] In this embodiment, there can be two or four airbags, etc. The specific number can be determined according to the actual situation, and this specification does not limit this embodiment.

[0036] In this embodiment, the inflation / deflation component 16 can be an inflation / deflation pump, etc.

[0037] When using it, first insert the airbag into the vagina. After connecting the air tube to the inflation / deflation pump, the inflation / deflation pump will circulate the airbag to achieve the effect of massaging and training the pelvic floor muscles. The inflation / deflation pump can circulate the airbag individually, or both airbags can be circulated simultaneously, or one airbag can be inflated while the other airbag is deflated rhythmically, thereby achieving a better massage and training effect.

[0038] After the airbag is inserted into the vagina, it is inflated by an air pump until the user can feel the pelvic floor muscles and is in a comfortable state, remaining in this position for 5-10 minutes. This pressure mode helps the user relax the pelvic floor muscles and restore proper pelvic floor muscle awareness. When an imbalance in muscle strength is felt on both sides, the airbag on the weaker side is inflated and deflated separately to assist the user in exercising the weaker side of the pelvic floor muscles, restoring the strength and elasticity of the weaker muscles. When the weaker side muscles learn to actively exert force and their strength increases, a training method of simultaneously inflating and deflating both airbags or deflating one while inflating the other is used to restore the muscle strength response ability and coordination of both sides of the pelvic floor muscles, bringing them to a relatively balanced state, thereby restoring pelvic floor muscle function.

[0039] The inflation / deflation pump can adjust the inflation / deflation time according to the user's muscle spindle response, or according to the training goal (e.g., when training fast-twitch muscle fibers, it can inflate for one second and deflate for one second; when training slow-twitch muscle fibers, it can inflate for ten seconds and deflate for ten seconds).

[0040] The air pump adjusts the inflation and deflation of the airbag according to the user's degree of relaxation, ensuring it conforms to the vaginal wall. This allows the user to precisely feel their vagina before activating the inflation / deflation cycle, achieving rapid restoration of pelvic floor muscle function.

[0041] The pelvic floor muscle training device provided in this application inflates and deflates the airbag through the inflation and deflation component 16. At this time, the probe part 11 and the bending part 12 can expand and contract. In this way, during the expansion and contraction process, the pelvic floor muscles can be continuously pressed and relaxed to improve the contraction force and coordination of the muscle group in the pelvic floor muscles, thereby enhancing the massage effect on the pelvic floor muscles.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this application, the end of the bent portion 12 away from the probe portion 11 is provided with a thickened portion 14. In this way, when the balloon is inserted into the pelvic floor muscles, the thickened portion 14 can be used to abut against the cervix at the pelvic floor muscles to fix the cervix.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this application, at least two airbags are symmetrically arranged, and each airbag has a corresponding air tube 13 on its probe portion 11.

[0044] The principle behind setting at least two airbags in this embodiment is as follows: The most important function of the pelvic floor muscles is to support the internal organs. Their physiological structure is similar to the human hands, divided into left and right sides. An imbalance in muscle strength can occur, and when this imbalance worsens, the function weakens. When the tension of the pelvic floor muscles is unbalanced, they cannot support the internal organs, leading to symptoms such as abnormal abdominal pressure, uterine prolapse, anterior and posterior wall bulging, abnormal pelvic floor muscle tension, vaginal laxity, decreased sensation, dyspareunia, chronic lower back and abdominal pain, constipation, and urinary incontinence. Setting at least two airbags is to better balance muscle tension and address these problems for the user.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this application, a recess 15 is formed between at least two airbags. This allows the overall training device structure to fit more closely to the pelvic floor muscle structure, facilitating massage training.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this application, the probe portion 11 and the bent portion 12 have a smooth transition. This avoids abrupt changes between the probe portion 11 and the bent portion 12, which could result in a poor user experience.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this application, the pelvic floor muscle training device further includes a pressure sensor disposed on the inner surface of the probe portion 11. This facilitates the detection of pressure at the probe portion 11, thereby adjusting the air intake volume according to the pressure.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this application, the airbag is a silicone airbag, and the trachea 13 is a silicone trachea.

[0049] Because silicone itself has a certain degree of hardness and elasticity, it is easy to insert the airbag into the vagina, and it can expand or shrink as it is inflated and deflated.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this application, the inflation / deflation component 16 is integrally formed with the air pipe 13, or the inflation / deflation component 16 and the air pipe 13 are detachably connected.

[0051] When the inflation / deflation component 16 and the air tube 13 are integrally formed, the whole device is easy to carry. When the inflation / deflation component 16 and the air tube 13 are detachably connected, for example, the air tube 13 is connected to the inflation / deflation component 16 by a buckle, it is easy to disassemble the air tube 13 and the inflation / deflation component 16 for storage.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this application, the inflation / deflation component 16 is an electrically operated inflation / deflation device. This allows for convenient inflation / deflation of the airbag using an electrically operated device, effectively improving inflation / deflation efficiency.

[0053] Meanwhile, the electric inflation / deflation equipment is equipped with a controller, which is configured to control the inflation and deflation volume.

[0054] In this embodiment, both the air outlet and air inlet of the electric inflation / deflation device are equipped with solenoid valves. The controller is electrically connected to the solenoid valves. By adjusting the opening of the solenoid valves through the controller, the inflation and deflation volumes can be adjusted. For example, the device can be fully inflated the first time and only half-inflated during deflation, and subsequent inflation and deflation can also only be half-inflated to achieve different training and massage effects. It should be noted that the above inflation / deflation volumes are only examples, and the specific volumes can be determined according to actual conditions. This embodiment does not limit these volumes.

[0055] Furthermore, the electric inflation / deflation device is equipped with a data acquisition module, which is electrically connected to the pressure sensor inside the probe section 11.

[0056] In this embodiment, the data acquisition module can be a 606 eight-channel AD acquisition module, a KL-N4600 data acquisition module, etc. By setting up a data acquisition module, it is convenient to acquire the data detected by the pressure sensor.

[0057] Furthermore, the electric inflation / deflation equipment is equipped with a display screen to show the inflation / deflation volume and data acquisition information. This makes it easy to display the inflation / deflation volume and the collected data.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this application, the pelvic floor muscle training device further includes a heating section disposed between the inflation / deflation component and the air pipe 13, for heating the gas delivered to the air pipe 13.

[0059] In this embodiment, the heating element can be a heating wire or the like.

[0060] By installing a heating wire between the inflation / deflation component and the air tube 13, the temperature of the gas entering the airbag is increased. At this time, the overall temperature of the airbag is suitable, which can improve the user's experience when the airbag enters the vagina.

[0061] In some embodiments, the pelvic floor muscle training device further includes a charger electrically connected to the inflation / deflation component. This facilitates charging the inflation / deflation component.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in the embodiments can be combined in any way.
