Description

本発明は、乳幼児の口輪筋力を測定する乳幼児用の口輪筋力測定装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an infant's muzzle muscle strength measuring apparatus for measuring the infant's muzzle muscle strength.

特開2001−157673号公報JP 2001-157673 A

人の口の周りには口輪筋という筋肉が存在している。そして、この口輪筋が弱くなると睡眠時に口が開き、これにより口から雑菌が侵入して扁桃炎を生じたり、いびきの原因となったり口臭を発生する等の障害が生じるといわれている。これらの障害を治療したり予防するためには、適正な口輪筋力を得ることが必要となる。そのためには、まず口輪筋力を知ることが治療や予防のために不可欠なものとなる。   There is a muscle called the muzzle muscle around the person's mouth. And if this muzzle muscle weakens, it is said that the mouth opens at the time of sleep, and various germs invade from the mouth to cause tonsillitis, snoring, and bad breath. In order to treat or prevent these disorders, it is necessary to obtain proper muzzle muscle strength. For that purpose, it is essential to know the muscle strength of the muzzle for treatment and prevention.

そこで、この口輪筋力を測定する装置として、従来、特許文献1に示す如く、荷重センサを配置したリング状の装置を唇に挟み、この装置を上唇と下唇とで圧迫し、この圧迫時の荷重を測定して口輪筋力を計測するものが存在する。この口輪筋力測定装置は、装置の使用目的や使用方法を理解し、自己の意思によって使用ができる一定年齢に達した子供や大人にとっては有効な装置である。   Therefore, as a device for measuring the muzzle muscle strength, as shown in Patent Document 1, conventionally, a ring-shaped device in which a load sensor is arranged is sandwiched between lips, and this device is compressed between the upper lip and the lower lip. There is a device that measures the muscle strength by measuring the load. This muzzle muscle strength measuring device is an effective device for children and adults of a certain age who understand the purpose and method of use of the device and can use it according to their own will.

しかしながら、上記特許文献1に示す口輪筋力測定装置は、上述の如く、被測定者がこの装置の目的や使用方法を理解できる一定年齢に達した子供や大人である場合には有効なものであるが、被測定者がこれを理解できない乳幼児の場合には、上記装置を使用して口輪筋力を測定することは困難であるという問題点を有していた。また、上記の従来装置は一定年齢に達した子供や大人用に形成されているため、寸法的にも、口輪筋力の設定値の問題からも乳幼児に使用することはできないものであった。   However, as described above, the muzzle muscle strength measuring device shown in Patent Document 1 is effective when the person being measured is a child or an adult who has reached a certain age who can understand the purpose and usage of the device. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to measure the muzzle muscle strength using the above-mentioned device in the case of an infant whose measurement subject cannot understand this. In addition, since the above-described conventional device is formed for children and adults who have reached a certain age, it cannot be used for infants due to dimensions and problems with the set value of the muzzle muscle strength.

そこで本発明は、上述の如き課題を解決するものであって、上記特許文献1に示す装置では測定困難であった乳幼児の如く、口輪筋力測定の目的や装置の使用方法を全く理解していない者の口輪筋力を容易に測定可能にしようとするものである。   Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and completely understands the purpose of the muzzle muscle strength measurement and the method of using the device, like an infant that has been difficult to measure with the device disclosed in Patent Document 1. It is intended to make it easy to measure the muzzle muscle strength of a person who has not.

本発明は、上述の如き課題を解決するため、液体吸出し用の吸出口を設けていない密閉型の乳首と、この密閉型の乳首の内部と連通し乳首内部の圧力変化を検出する圧力センサーと、この圧力センサーで検出した最大値を記録するピークホールド手段と、このピークホールド手段で記録した記録値を表示する表示部とからなるものである。   In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a hermetic nipple not provided with a liquid suction outlet, a pressure sensor that communicates with the inside of the hermetic nipple and detects a pressure change inside the nipple. The peak hold means for recording the maximum value detected by the pressure sensor and the display section for displaying the recorded value recorded by the peak hold means.

また、乳首は、乳首内部の圧力を大気圧と等しくするための大気開放弁と連通しているものであってもよい。    The nipple may be in communication with an air release valve for making the pressure inside the nipple equal to the atmospheric pressure.

また、乳首は、哺乳瓶状の容器に設置したものであってもよい。   The nipple may be installed in a baby bottle-like container.

また、乳首は、単独でおしゃぶり状としたものであってもよい。   The nipple may be a pacifier alone.

本発明では、上述の如く構成したものであって、被測定者である乳幼児が口輪筋力の測定のために口内に挿入する測定部分を乳首としたため、乳幼児が母親の乳首や哺乳瓶からミルクを飲むのと同様に、乳幼児は何等の抵抗もなく測定部分である乳首を口中に挿入して乳首を口内で圧迫する動作を行うことができる。そして、大気開放弁を閉じた状態に於いて、乳幼児の行う乳首の圧迫動作に伴って、密閉型とした乳首内部の容積が減少し乳首内部の空気が加圧されるから、この乳首内部の圧力変化を測定することにより乳幼児の口輪筋力を測定することが可能となる。このように本発明では、口輪筋力測定の目的や方法を全く理解していない乳幼児の口輪筋力を測定することが可能となり、口輪筋力に異常を生じている乳幼児の早期の治療を可能とするものである。   In the present invention, the measurement part inserted into the mouth by the infant to be measured into the mouth for measurement of the muzzle muscle strength is the nipple, so that the infant can inject milk from the mother's nipple or baby bottle. As with drinking, the infant can perform the operation of inserting the nipple, which is the measurement portion, into the mouth and pressing the nipple in the mouth without any resistance. When the air release valve is closed, the volume inside the sealed nipple is reduced and the air inside the nipple is pressurized with the nipple pressing operation performed by the infant. By measuring the pressure change, the infant's muzzle muscle strength can be measured. As described above, the present invention makes it possible to measure the muzzle strength of an infant who does not understand the purpose and method of muzzle muscle strength measurement at all, and enables early treatment of an infant having an abnormality in the muzzle strength. It is what.

以下、本発明の一実施例を図面を用いて説明すると、(1)は乳首であり、口輪筋力を測定する場合に乳幼児の口内に挿入して測定部として使用するものである。そして、この乳首(1)の乳頭部(2)には液体吸出し用の吸出口を設けずに、乳幼児が乳首(1)を口内で圧迫した場合に、この圧迫で減少した乳首(1)内の容積に対応して乳首(1)内の昇圧した空気を、後述の圧力センサー(3)に移送できるよう形成している。即ち、図2に示す如く、乳首(1)の乳頭部(2)と連続する胴部(4)に胴部開口部(5)を設け、この胴部開口部(5)の外周にパッキンを兼ねたフランジ(6)を突出している。そしてこのフランジ(6)を、胴部開口部(5)を被覆する隔壁(7)の表面に配置する。また、この隔壁(7)で哺乳瓶状の容器(8)の容器開口部(10)を被覆し、この隔壁(7)と乳首(1)とを、容器(8)の外周に螺着固定した断面コ字型の固定部材(11)により、容器(8)の容器開口部(10)に固定する。この螺着固定は、固定部材(11)を容器(8)の外周に設けた外周螺溝(12)に螺着し、固定部材(11)の固定鍔(13)を乳首(1)のフランジ(6)外面に配置することにより行う。これにより、乳首(1)の内部に空気を密閉した密閉部(14)を形成する。   DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. (1) is a nipple, which is inserted into an infant's mouth and used as a measuring unit when measuring the muzzle strength. When the infant presses the nipple (1) in the mouth without providing a suction port for liquid suction on the nipple (1) of the nipple (1), the inside of the nipple (1) decreased by this compression. Is formed so that the pressurized air in the nipple (1) can be transferred to the pressure sensor (3) described later. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a trunk opening (5) is provided in the trunk (4) continuous with the nipple (2) of the nipple (1), and packing is provided on the outer periphery of the trunk opening (5). The flange (6) that doubles as it protrudes. And this flange (6) is arrange | positioned on the surface of the partition (7) which coat | covers a trunk | drum opening part (5). Further, the partition wall (7) covers the container opening (10) of the baby bottle-shaped container (8), and the partition wall (7) and the nipple (1) are screwed and fixed to the outer periphery of the container (8). It fixes to the container opening part (10) of a container (8) with the fixed member (11) of cross-sectional U shape. In this screwing and fixing, the fixing member (11) is screwed into the outer peripheral screw groove (12) provided on the outer periphery of the container (8), and the fixing rod (13) of the fixing member (11) is fixed to the flange of the nipple (1). (6) Perform by placing on the outer surface. Thereby, the sealing part (14) which sealed air inside the teat (1) is formed.

また、上記隔壁(7)には、密閉部(14)と連通する連通管(15)の一端部(16)を接続し、この連通管(15)の他端部(17)を容器(8)の底部(18)を介して圧力センサー(3)に接続する。この圧力センサー(3)は、乳幼児が口内で乳首(1)を圧迫することによって乳首(1)内の容積が減少し、乳首(1)の密閉部(14)から連通管(15)を通じて移送された空気の圧力を検出するものである。したがって、この圧力センサー(3)は空気の圧力を検出可能なものであればよく、例えば歪抵抗型圧力センサー、キャパシタンス型圧力センサー、インダクタンス型圧力センサー等を用いることができる。   In addition, one end (16) of the communication pipe (15) communicating with the sealing part (14) is connected to the partition wall (7), and the other end (17) of the communication pipe (15) is connected to the container (8). ) To the pressure sensor (3) via the bottom (18). This pressure sensor (3) reduces the volume in the nipple (1) when the infant presses the nipple (1) in the mouth, and transfers it from the sealed part (14) of the nipple (1) through the communication pipe (15). The pressure of the generated air is detected. Therefore, the pressure sensor (3) may be any sensor that can detect the pressure of air. For example, a strain resistance type pressure sensor, a capacitance type pressure sensor, an inductance type pressure sensor, or the like can be used.

また、図1に示す如く、上記圧力センサー(3)は、検出した圧力検出信号を測定するための測定器本体(20)に接続している。この測定器本体(20)は、圧力センサー(3)で検出した圧力検出信号を増幅するための増幅器(21)と、この増幅器(21)で増幅した圧力検出信号の最大値を検出し、この最大値を記録するピークホールド手段(22)と、このピークホールド手段(22)で記録した記録値を表示するための表示部(23)とから構成している。本実施例では、図1に示す如く、ピークホールド手段(22)にはアナログ式ピークホールド回路を、表示部(23)にはアナログ式表示器を用いる。他の異なる実施例に於いては、ピークホールド手段(22)にはデジタル式ピークホールド回路を、表示部(23)にはデジタル式表示器を用いることも可能である。また、ピークホールド手段(22)で記録した記録値をリセットするためのリセットスイッチ(24)を設けている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the pressure sensor (3) is connected to a measuring instrument body (20) for measuring the detected pressure detection signal. The measuring device body (20) detects an amplifier (21) for amplifying the pressure detection signal detected by the pressure sensor (3), and a maximum value of the pressure detection signal amplified by the amplifier (21). A peak hold means (22) for recording the maximum value and a display section (23) for displaying the recorded value recorded by the peak hold means (22). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an analog type peak hold circuit is used for the peak hold means (22), and an analog type display is used for the display unit (23). In another embodiment, a digital peak hold circuit can be used for the peak hold means (22), and a digital display can be used for the display section (23). Further, a reset switch (24) for resetting the recorded value recorded by the peak hold means (22) is provided.

また、連通管(15)には大気開放弁(25)を接続し、一回の測定が終了した後に乳首(1)の密閉部(14)と外気とを連通し、乳首(1)内を常圧とした後に次の口輪筋力の測定を行うものとしている。この大気開放弁(25)を解放することにより、前回測定時の乳首(1)内気圧の変化の影響を受けることなく常に正確な口輪筋力の測定を行うことができる。   An air release valve (25) is connected to the communication pipe (15), and after one measurement is completed, the sealed portion (14) of the nipple (1) communicates with the outside air, and the inside of the nipple (1) is communicated. After the normal pressure, the next muzzle muscle strength is measured. By releasing the air release valve (25), it is possible to always accurately measure the muzzle muscle strength without being affected by the change in the internal pressure of the nipple (1) at the time of the previous measurement.

上述の如く構成したものにおいて、乳幼児の口輪筋力を測定するには、大気開放弁(25)を閉じた状態で、乳幼児の口内に乳首(1)を挿入する。この乳首(1)は母親の乳首や哺乳瓶の乳首と近似するものであるため、乳幼児は何等の抵抗もなく口内に含むことができる。そして、乳首(1)を口に含むと、乳幼児は乳首(1)を口内で圧迫する。そうすると、乳首(1)の密閉部(14)の容積が減少するとともに密閉部(14)内を加圧し、密閉部(14)の空気が連通管(15)を通じて圧力センサー(3)に移送され、圧力センサー(3)はこの移送された空気の圧力を検出して圧力検出信号を出力し、この圧力検出信号を測定器本体(20)に送る。この測定器本体(20)内では、まず、増幅器(21)によって圧力検出信号を増幅し、この増幅した圧力検出信号をピークホールド手段(22)に送る。そして、このピークホールド手段(22)で、増幅器(21)から送られた圧力検出信号の最大値を検出するとともにこの最大値を記録し、この記録値を表示部(23)に送り、表示部(23)で記録値を表示する。   In the configuration described above, in order to measure the infant's muzzle muscle strength, the nipple (1) is inserted into the infant's mouth with the air release valve (25) closed. Since the nipple (1) is similar to the mother's nipple or the nipple of a baby bottle, the infant can be included in the mouth without any resistance. When the nipple (1) is included in the mouth, the infant presses the nipple (1) in the mouth. Then, the volume of the sealed part (14) of the nipple (1) is reduced and the inside of the sealed part (14) is pressurized, and the air in the sealed part (14) is transferred to the pressure sensor (3) through the communication pipe (15). The pressure sensor (3) detects the pressure of the transferred air, outputs a pressure detection signal, and sends the pressure detection signal to the measuring instrument body (20). In the measuring device main body (20), first, the pressure detection signal is amplified by the amplifier (21), and the amplified pressure detection signal is sent to the peak hold means (22). The peak hold means (22) detects the maximum value of the pressure detection signal sent from the amplifier (21) and records the maximum value, and sends the recorded value to the display unit (23). The recorded value is displayed at (23).

以上により乳幼児の口輪筋力を測定することが可能となる。したがって、この測定によって乳幼児の口輪筋力が弱い等の異常を発見することができ、早期の治療を開始することが可能となるものである。また、口輪筋力の測定に際して被測定者である乳幼児が口に含む測定部分を乳首(1)としたことにより、乳首(1)を口に含んだ乳幼児は何等の抵抗もなく母親の乳首や哺乳瓶からミルクを飲む動作と近い状態で口内を動かして乳首(1)を圧迫することができ、乳幼児の口輪筋力を容易に測定することができる。   Thus, it is possible to measure the infant's muzzle muscle strength. Therefore, by this measurement, it is possible to find an abnormality such as the infant's mouth ring muscle strength being weak, and it is possible to start early treatment. In addition, the measurement part including the mouth of the infant, who is the person to be measured, is used as the nipple (1) when measuring the muzzle muscle strength, so that the infant including the nipple (1) in the mouth can feel the mother's nipple without any resistance. The nipple (1) can be compressed by moving the mouth in a state close to the action of drinking milk from a baby bottle, and the infant's muzzle muscle strength can be easily measured.

また、乳首(1)を上記実施例の如く哺乳瓶状の容器(8)に固定すれば、測定に際して哺乳瓶での授乳時と同様に乳幼児が容器(8)を掴んで乳首(1)を口中に含むことができるために、乳幼児の口輪筋力の測定が容易となる。なお、この哺乳瓶状の容器(8)は必須のものではなく、内部を密閉型とした乳首(1)と圧力センサー(3)を接続できるものであればよい。したがって、乳首(1)のみをおしゃぶり状に形成したものであってもよい。   In addition, when the nipple (1) is fixed to the bottle-shaped container (8) as in the above embodiment, the infant grasps the container (8) and holds the nipple (1) in the same manner as when feeding the baby bottle. Since it can be contained in the mouth, it is easy to measure the muscle strength of infants. The baby bottle-like container (8) is not essential, as long as it can connect the nipple (1) and the pressure sensor (3) whose inside is sealed. Therefore, only the nipple (1) may be formed in a pacifier shape.

また、一人の乳幼児の測定が終わり、次の乳幼児の測定をする場合や、同一の乳幼児に再度測定を行う場合には、リセットスイッチ(24)を押してピークホールド手段(22)で記録した記録値をリセットして行う。また、この再度の測定を行う場合は、大気開放弁(25)を開放して、乳首(1)内部の密閉部(14)の圧力を大気圧と等しくすることにより、前回測定時の乳首(1)内気圧の変化の影響を受けることなく正確な測定が可能となる。   When the measurement of one infant is finished and the next infant is measured or when the same infant is measured again, the recorded value recorded by the peak hold means (22) by pressing the reset switch (24). To reset. When performing this measurement again, the air release valve (25) is opened and the pressure in the sealed part (14) inside the nipple (1) is made equal to the atmospheric pressure, so that the nipple ( 1) Accurate measurement is possible without being affected by changes in internal pressure.

また、測定終了後は固定部材(11)を回動して容器(8)から乳首(1)を取り外して別の乳首(1)と交換することにより、次の乳幼児の測定を行うことができ、本発明に係る装置の使用に際して衛生面に於ける安全も確保できるものとなる。また、乳首(1)の交換を行った場合は乳首(1)の密閉部(14)と外気が接触するため、大気開放弁(25)の操作は不要となるが、交換時に誤って密閉部(14)の加圧等が行われた場合には、大気開放弁(25)の解放が必要となる。   In addition, after the measurement is completed, the next infant can be measured by rotating the fixing member (11) and removing the nipple (1) from the container (8) and replacing it with another nipple (1). When using the device according to the present invention, safety in terms of hygiene can be ensured. In addition, when the nipple (1) is replaced, the sealed portion (14) of the nipple (1) comes into contact with the outside air, so that the operation of the air release valve (25) is not necessary. When pressurization or the like of (14) is performed, it is necessary to release the air release valve (25).
