Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a swallowing function training device for neurological patients, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the current field of medical device technology, medical devices, including medical equipment and medical consumables, primarily achieve their efficacy through physical means, rather than through pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic processes. Even if these processes are involved, they only play a supporting role. In neurological procedures involving the lingual nerve, swallowing difficulties or loss of swallowing ability are common. This is because the surgery interferes with nerve signal transmission, leading to damage to the oropharyngeal muscles. Therefore, swallowing function training devices are needed to rehabilitate the pharyngeal muscles.

[0003] Utility model patent CN209916610U discloses a swallowing function training device, which addresses the technical problem of training patients with swallowing disorders. The device includes an outer cylinder, a ball bearing seat, a syringe, and a push handle. The outer cylinder contains a push rod that can slide up and down; the rod extends outside the outer cylinder after passing through a guide groove on the cylinder wall. The ball bearing seat is detachably fixed to the lower end of the outer cylinder, with a ball bearing groove at the lower end and a medication channel communicating with the ball bearing groove. Massage balls are located within the ball bearing groove. The syringe contains a piston, the lower end of the push handle is fixed to the piston, and the upper end of the push handle abuts against the push rod. The lower end of the syringe forms a syringe connector, which is inserted into the medication channel of the ball bearing seat in a tight fit. This utility model provides a device suitable for training the swallowing ability of patients with swallowing disorders.

[0004] However, the above solution has the following shortcomings in practical use:

[0005] The above solution uses a syringe connector to be inserted into the drug channel of the ball bearing seat in a tight fit to deliver the drug. However, in actual use, due to the poor swallowing function of patients, it is necessary to manually open the patient's mouth to inject the drug. This process usually requires two people to operate, which is inefficient and wastes manpower. Moreover, the function is relatively simple, only having the function of drug delivery. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a swallowing function training device for neurological patients, which can be operated by a single person, is convenient for injecting medication, and saves time and effort.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a swallowing function training device for neurological patients, including a mounting sleeve, on which a support component is mounted;
