The specific embodiment

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment the present invention is done further detailed explanation.

As depicted in figs. 1 and 2 is structure chart of the present invention, and present embodiment is a kind of root of the tongue training aids, the flexibility ratio and the sensitivity of apparatus specialized training root of the tongue organ activity.The stationkeeping ability at the root of the tongue position when training child pronounces.Root of the tongue training aids comprises kettleholder 1 and the root of the tongue acting body 2 that is connected with kettleholder, and root of the tongue acting body 2 is for acting on the spoon head that the root of the tongue has concave part 21, has increased stimulation plate 23 in apical position 22 parts of spoon head, stimulates on the plate 23 to be distributed with triangle Z-Correct bump mapping Z-correct 24.

The design of spoon shape mainly is owing to can let the therapist accurately locate through kettleholder operation whole trainer; The design of concave part in addition can make things convenient for the user the tip of the tongue to be placed on concave part 21 places, carries out screens, and the therapist drives tongue and carries out corresponding sensory stimuli and pronunciation training through the tractive to kettleholder 1.

Leg-of-mutton design mainly is the position of accurate location instrument.Because leg-of-mutton texture is concave part 21 extensions from the apical position 22 past spoon heads of spoon head; The therapist can be through inquiry user root of the tongue place for the sensation that stimulates Z-Correct bump mapping Z-correct 24 on the plate 23; Judge that instrument stimulates the residing position of plate; User sensory stimuli degree is strong more, and the position of expression instrument is deep more partially, can make suitable adjustment.

The design root of the tongue the contact with the apparatus material and the lines on surface have increased the stimulation degree of apparatus for root of the tongue organ, and purpose is to improve root of the tongue organ for the sensitivity that stimulates, and improves training effectiveness.

Root of the tongue training aids of the present invention is made according to 1 years old to 7 years old child's average-size data, comprises that the tooth pitch up and down in oral cavity leaves, the distance of tongue length, soft palate and lingual surface etc., and the design of apparatus can not stimulate to pharynx rear wall and uvula.Owing to stimulate the particular design of face, can experience the position of coming instrument through inquiry user lingual surface and accurately locate in addition, more comfortable when therefore using, also reduced the incidence rate that untoward reaction such as vomiting stimulate.
