[0024] In this embodiment, the push rod 8 is provided with external threads.

[0025] The external threads on the push rod 8 provide a structural basis for cooperation with components such as the detent 6 and the connecting sleeve 10 that have internal threads, enhancing the stability of component connection, and at the same time creating conditions for stroke adjustment of the push rod 8.

[0026] In this embodiment, the detent 6 is internally provided with internal threads engaged with the push rod 8.

[0027] The clamping part 6 is engaged with the push rod 8 through internal threads, and the position of the clamping part 6 on the push rod 8 can be adjusted by rotating the clamping part 6, so that the pushing stroke of the push rod 8 can be flexibly changed to adapt to different food quantity requirements and improve the applicability of the device.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connecting sleeve 10 is provided with internal threads engaged with the push rod 8, and the connecting sleeve 10 and the push rod 8 are fixedly connected through screw threads. The threaded connection between the connecting sleeve 10 and the push rod 8 not only ensures stable connection and effective force transmission when the push piston 12 is pushed, but also realizes detachability, so that the push rod 8 can be conveniently stored through the elastic buckle clamp 4 after being detached, thereby improving the operation convenience.

[0035] Working principle: when in use, an appropriate amount of liquid food is first loaded into the grain storage cylinder 13 through the opening of the grain storage cylinder 13, and then the push piston 12 is placed into the grain storage cylinder 13, so that the connecting sleeve 10 and the push rod 8 are fixedly connected through screw threads to complete the assembly of the device. An appropriate amount of hot water is added into the heat preservation cylinder 1 through the water guide 3, and the heat preservation cylinder 1 is used to heat the liquid food in the grain storage cylinder 13 to maintain an appropriate eating temperature.

[0036] Before feeding, according to the required food intake of the elderly patients, rotate the clamping part 6, and adjust its position on the push rod 8 by the threaded cooperation of the clamping part 6 and the push rod 8: the closer the position of the clamping part 6 to the connecting sleeve 10, the shorter the maximum push stroke of the push rod 8, and the less the food pushed; on the contrary, the farther the position of the clamping part 6 from the connecting sleeve 10, the longer the maximum push stroke of the push rod 8, and the more the food pushed, so as to realize flexible adjustment of the limiting position, accurate control of the push stroke of the push rod 8, and then realize quantitative feeding, and meet the food intake needs of different elderly patients.

[0037] When pushing the food, hold the handle 9 on the push rod 8, push the push rod 8, and under the guiding action of the inner ring of the fixed limiting part 11, the push rod 8 drives the piston 12 to move stably along the grain storage cylinder 13, pushes the liquid food in the grain storage cylinder 13 to the patient's mouth through the liquid food outlet 2. When the clamping part 6 moves to contact the connecting sleeve 10, the connecting sleeve 10 blocks the clamping part 6 from moving further, the push rod 8 stops advancing, and the quantitative feeding is completed. The cooperation of the clamping part 6 and the connecting sleeve 10 can block the accidental pushing of the push rod 8, and prevent the food from leaking out of the liquid food outlet 2.

[0038] After feeding, the push rod 8 and the connecting sleeve 10 can be disassembled and separated, and the push rod 8 is clamped into the elastic buckle clamp 4 on the heat preservation cylinder 1 for storage, reducing the space occupation; if it needs to be used or cleaned again, the above assembly and adjustment steps can be repeated.
