Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a speech rehabilitation oral muscle trainer. Background Technology

[0002] Speech rehabilitation is an important part of helping patients with problems such as dysarthria and swallowing dysfunction to regain normal speech ability, and the functional training of oral muscles (especially tongue muscles) is one of the core contents of speech rehabilitation.

[0003] Currently, in clinical practice, for patients with tongue muscle dysfunction (such as those whose tongue movement is restricted due to stroke, cerebral palsy, or oral surgery, resulting in articulation problems such as inability to pronounce "d / t / l" or unclear pronunciation), the approach is to have the patient repeatedly perform actions such as sticking out, retracting, and pushing against the inner wall of the oral cavity, or to use simple tools such as tongue depressors or spoons for assisted training.

[0004] This training method has obvious shortcomings: On the one hand, the lack of specialized fixation and guidance structures makes it difficult for patients to maintain a stable training posture, and the tongue is prone to deviation, resulting in a scattered training effect and an inability to accurately target the tongue muscles. On the other hand, the training resistance cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's recovery progress. In the early stages, patients have weak tongue muscle strength and need less resistance to build training confidence. However, as the rehabilitation process progresses, existing tools cannot provide increasing resistance to gradually strengthen the tongue muscle strength, which can easily lead to training bottlenecks and prolong the rehabilitation period.

[0005] Therefore, a speech rehabilitation oral muscle trainer is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a speech rehabilitation oral muscle trainer that can effectively solve the problems mentioned above.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A speech rehabilitation oral muscle trainer includes an arc-shaped shield with several ventilation holes on both sides to make the shield breathable. The inner ring of the shield has two fixing plates for fixation, and the two fixing plates have soft pads on their opposite sides. The shield has a tongue muscle training component in the middle, and the tongue muscle training component has a pressure regulating component for adjusting resistance.

[0008] Preferably, the tongue muscle training component includes a housing, which is mounted on the outer ring of the protective cover. Pressure mechanisms are provided on both vertical surfaces of the housing. Each of the two pressure mechanisms is provided with a connecting rod. Each of the two connecting rods is provided with a support plate. A connecting plate is provided on both support plates.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting plate is provided with a top rod that passes through the protective cover, and the top rod is provided with an arc-shaped plate.

[0010] Preferably, the pressure mechanism includes a rectangular shell mounted on an outer casing, and a telescopic rod and a pressure spring are provided inside the rectangular shell, with the telescopic rod passing through the outer casing and extending into the interior.

[0011] Preferably, the telescopic rod slides on the outer shell and the rectangular shell, the telescopic rod is connected to the connecting rod, and the rectangular shell has a circular hole communicating with the pressure regulating component.

[0012] Preferably, the pressure regulating assembly includes an air pipe, which is mounted on two rectangular shells. The air pipe inlet is provided with a regulating valve, and the regulating valve inlet is provided with an air bladder.

[0013] Preferably, the trachea communicates with two rectangular shells and is used to inject gas from the airbag into the rectangular shells.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes an arc-shaped shield and two fixing plates. During use, the patient's teeth bite on the soft pads on the outside of the fixing plates, and the lips fit against the inner ring of the shield, forming a reliable oral fixation structure. This effectively limits the positional displacement of the head and mouth, preventing the tongue from deviating from the target training area due to postural swaying during training. Secondly, the tongue muscle training component in the middle of the shield is equipped with an arc-shaped plate. This arc-shaped plate is adapted to the contact area of ​​the patient's tongue, guiding the tongue to concentrate its force on the arc-shaped plate, so that the training action focuses on the extension and pushing of the tongue muscles, ensuring that the training force is accurately applied to the tongue muscles.

[0015] The pressure mechanism of the tongue muscle training component designed in this utility model has a built-in pressure spring. In the initial state, it can provide basic resistance to meet the initial training needs of patients with weak tongue muscles and help them build confidence in training. As the rehabilitation process progresses, patients can flexibly increase the resistance through the pressure adjustment component to increase the resistance of the tongue pushing the arc plate, thereby achieving a step-by-step increase in training intensity. If it is necessary to reduce the resistance, simply press the adjustment valve to release gas. This allows the device to flexibly adjust the resistance according to the tongue muscle strength of the patient at different stages of rehabilitation, which not only avoids the patient giving up training due to excessive resistance in the early stage, but also provides the patient with sufficient training intensity in the later stage.

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0019] Example 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a speech rehabilitation oral muscle trainer includes an arc-shaped shield 1. Several ventilation holes 2 are provided on both sides of the shield 1 to make the shield 1 breathable. Two fixing plates 6 for fixing are provided on the inner ring of the shield 1. The two fixing plates 6 are provided with soft pads 3 on the side that is far away from each other. Tongue muscle training component 4 is provided in the middle of the shield 1. The tongue muscle training component 4 is provided with a pressure regulating component 5 for adjusting resistance.

[0020] The implementation process of this device is as follows: First, the user picks up the device through the shield 1, then opens their mouth and places the soft pad 3 and the fixing plate 6 inside the mouth. At this time, the user's teeth need to bite on the soft pad 3 and the lips need to be pressed against the inner ring of the shield 1 to fix the device in the mouth.

[0021] In the above scenario, when the user's teeth are biting on the soft pad 3, the user's mouth is open. At this time, the user extends their tongue and pushes the tongue muscle training component 4, and then retracts their tongue. When the tongue retracts, the tongue muscle training component 4 returns to its initial state. The user then extends their tongue again to push the tongue muscle training component 4, and then retracts it, repeating this motion 30 times. After that, the user removes the device and rests for 5 minutes. After the rest period, the user puts the device back on their mouth and continues the training. A total of five sets of training are conducted to exercise the user's tongue muscles.

[0022] As mentioned above, training the tongue muscles can resolve articulation disorders caused by limited tongue movement, such as difficulty in pronouncing "d / t / l".

[0023] In the above, the user can press the pressure regulating component 5 to inject gas into the tongue muscle training component 4, thereby increasing the resistance of the tongue muscle training component 4, so that the user needs to exert more force when using the tongue to push the tongue muscle training component 4, thus increasing the training intensity.

[0024] In the above scenario, the patient's teeth bite on the soft pad 3, and the shield 1 will fit against the user's lips. At this time, the ventilation holes 2 can increase the breathability of the device, so that the user will not feel stuffy when the shield 1 fits against the edge of the lips.

[0025] As described above, after training, the user needs to disinfect and clean the soft pad 3, the fixing board 6, and the tongue muscle training component 4 to keep them clean.

[0026] Example 2, further, in order to achieve the purpose of training the user's tongue muscles through the tongue muscle training component 4, see... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The tongue muscle training component 4 includes a housing 46, which is mounted on the outer ring of the cover 1. Pressure mechanisms 47 are provided on both vertical surfaces of the housing 46. Connecting rods 45 are provided on both pressure mechanisms 47. Support plates 44 are provided on both connecting rods 45. Connecting plates 43 are provided on both support plates 44. Furthermore, the connecting plate 43 is provided with a top rod 42 that passes through the protective cover 1, and the top rod 42 is provided with an arc-shaped plate 41; Furthermore, the pressure mechanism 47 includes a rectangular shell 472, which is mounted on the outer shell 46. The rectangular shell 472 is provided with a telescopic rod 471 and a pressure spring 473 inside the rectangular shell 472. The telescopic rod 471 passes through the outer shell 46 and extends into the interior. Furthermore, the telescopic rod 471 slides on the outer shell 46 and the rectangular shell 472. The telescopic rod 471 is connected to the connecting rod 45. The rectangular shell 472 has a circular hole 474 that communicates with the pressure regulating component 5.

[0027] In the above description, after the patient's teeth are biting on the soft pad 3, the patient can extend their tongue to push the arc plate 41, causing the arc plate 41 to move closer to the protective cover 1. When the arc plate 41 moves, it will drive the top rod 42 to move on the protective cover 1. At this time, the top rod 42 will drive the support plate 44 to move together through the connecting plate 43. Since the connecting rod 45 is rotatably connected to the support plate 44 and the telescopic rod 471, when the top rod 42 drives the connecting plate 43 to move, it will cause the connecting rod 45 to rotate. At this time, the support plate 44 will push the telescopic rod 471, causing the telescopic rod 471 to slide inside the rectangular shell 472. When the telescopic rod 471 slides into the rectangular shell 472, it will compress the pressure spring 473 to generate pressure, thereby creating resistance when the user pushes the arc plate 41 with their tongue. When the tongue retracts, the pressure spring 473 releases pressure, pushing the telescopic rod 471 to move closer to the outer shell 46. This, in turn, pushes the arc plate 41 back to its original position via the connecting rod 45, connecting plate 43, and top rod 42. The patient then extends their tongue again, pushing the arc plate 41 to perform tongue muscle training.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to achieve the purpose of increasing the resistance of the tongue muscle training component 4 by adjusting the pressure component 5, see [reference needed]. Figure 5 The pressure regulating component 5 includes an air pipe 51, which is mounted on two rectangular shells 472. The air inlet of the air pipe 51 is provided with a regulating valve 52, and the air inlet of the regulating valve 52 is provided with an air bag 53. Furthermore, the trachea 51 is connected to two rectangular shells 472, and is used to inject gas from the airbag 53 into the rectangular shells 472.

[0029] In the above, the user can squeeze the airbag 53 to open the regulating valve 52 and inject the gas inside into the air tube 51. Then the air tube 51 enters the rectangular shell 472 through the circular hole 474 on the rectangular shell 472, so that there is air inside the rectangular shell 472. When the telescopic rod 471 slides into the rectangular shell 472, the air inside the rectangular shell 472 will increase the force required for the telescopic rod 471 to slide, thereby increasing the resistance.

[0030] In the above, when it is necessary to reduce resistance, the user only needs to press the regulating valve 52 to release the gas in the air pipe 51 and the rectangular shell 472.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
