Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical assistive devices, specifically relating to a cold stimulation device for the rehabilitation treatment of swallowing disorders. Background Technology

[0002] Dysphagia is a common complication of stroke. Currently, clinical practice involves stimulating the pharynx with ice-cold cotton swabs to enhance the sensitivity of the soft palate and pharynx, thereby improving the patient's attention to food swallowing. Furthermore, cold stimulation increases sensory input, excites neurons in the conduction pathway, promotes axonal regeneration, rebuilds the neural network, and facilitates the recovery of swallowing function. Ice stimulation can also activate nerve functions in a reserve or dormant state, regulate nerve excitability and the coordination of swallowing muscles, which helps improve the sensitivity of the pharyngeal reflex area, prevent choking, trigger swallowing movements, promote the recovery of the swallowing reflex arc, and ultimately improve swallowing function.

[0003] Patent CN216294420U discloses a cold stimulation device for the pharynx in patients with swallowing disorders. The device includes a hollow stainless steel rod with an annular groove on the outer wall of its front end. The front end of the rod is hemispherical. The rear end of the rod is detachably connected to a sealing cap or a syringe for injecting ice water. A water outlet hole, communicating with the inner cavity of the rod, is provided on the outer wall of the front end. The outer wall of the rod has external threads located behind the annular groove. While this device allows for the injection of ice water via a syringe for stimulating the pharynx, the threaded connection must be disassembled when changing the ice water, which is cumbersome and may affect the low-temperature retention effect, leading to unstable stimulation temperature. Furthermore, since the hollow stainless steel rod is in direct contact with the oral cavity, the threaded connection may loosen and detach during treatment. Utility Model Content

It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0021] In the accompanying drawings of this utility model, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" or similar designation indicating the connection relationship between components should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a cold stimulation device for the rehabilitation treatment of dysphagia, comprising a hollow stainless steel rod 1, a massage head 12 at the front end of the hollow stainless steel rod 1, a plurality of annular grooves evenly spaced on the massage head 12, and a water outlet hole communicating with the inner cavity of the hollow stainless steel rod 1 at the bottom of the annular grooves. A spherical connecting part 11 is provided at the tail end of the hollow stainless steel rod 1, the spherical connecting part 11 is connected to a rotary joint 3, the rotary joint 3 is connected to an injection part 2, the injection part 2 includes an injection port 21 and a connecting piece 22, and the injection part 2 and the rotary joint 3 are detachably connected.

[0024] Specifically, during use, ice water is injected into the hollow stainless steel rod 1 through the injection section 2, thereby stimulating the pharynx with ice water. The groove on the front massage head 12 can massage the pharynx.

[0025] Furthermore, the end face of the connecting part 32 is provided with a connecting hole 35 for inserting the connector 22. A rectangular through hole is provided in the vertical direction of the connecting hole 35. A locking block 365 is fitted inside the through hole. A thin rod is connected to the top of the locking block 365. A spring 361 is sleeved on the thin rod and a limiting member 36 is connected to the top end.

[0026] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 A connecting hole 35 is provided on the right end face of the connecting part 32. The connecting hole 35 is a rectangular blind hole. A vertically arranged rectangular through hole passes through the connecting hole 35 and the outer surface of the connecting part 32. The locking block 365 cooperates with the rectangular through hole to realize the insertion and fixation of the injection part 2. The connecting piece 22 is hook-shaped. When it is inserted, its hook will abut against the locking block 365. The locking block 365 moves upward. When the connecting piece 22 is fully inserted, its hook no longer abuts against the locking block 365. At this time, the locking block 365 is reset under the action of the spring 361. The upper opening of the rectangular through hole is smaller than the lower opening. The lower opening can accommodate and allow the locking block 365 to protrude. The upper opening is clearance-fitted with the thin rod of the locking block 365. The top of the thin rod extends to the outer surface of the connecting part 32 and fixes the limiting member 36. The limiting member 36 plays a limiting role for the locking block 365. When it contacts the outer surface of the connecting part 32, the locking block 365 resets. When the injection unit needs to be disassembled, simply lift the two symmetrically arranged limiting members 36 at the same time so that the locking block 365 disengages from the connecting member 22, and the injection unit can be pulled out. This allows for quick separation and sealing connection when changing the ice water.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotary joint 3 has a hollow structure, including an end cap 31 that can be detached and inserted into the spherical connecting part 11, and a connecting part 32 for connecting the hollow stainless steel rod 1 and the injection part 2.

[0028] Specifically, the split design of the rotary joint 3 facilitates cleaning and maintenance, while the hollow structure ensures smooth flow of ice water. During use, the hollow stainless steel rod 1 can rotate at a certain angle, facilitating operation during the treatment process.

[0029] Furthermore, a sealing seat 34 is provided at the connection point between the connecting part 32 and the spherical connecting part 11, a second sealing ring 37 is provided at the connection point with the injection part 2, and a first sealing ring 33 is provided at the connection point between the end cap 31 and the hollow stainless steel rod 1.

[0030] Specifically, the combination design of the sealing seat 34 and multiple sealing rings effectively prevents ice water leakage, maintains low temperature stability, and ensures the continuity and safety of the cold stimulation effect.

[0031] Furthermore, the hollow stainless steel rod 1 is made of food-grade stainless steel.

[0032] Specifically, food-grade stainless steel can avoid the risk of allergies or contamination when patients come into contact with the material.
