[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an oral auxiliary drug delivery and feeding device, including an expansion frame 1. The expansion frame 1 is provided with a drug delivery mechanism 2 inside, which is used for drug delivery. The outer wall of the drug delivery mechanism 2 is provided with a positioning mechanism 3, which is used to limit the displacement of the drug delivery mechanism 2.

[0034] The expansion frame 1 expands the patient's oral cavity, facilitating medication delivery. The delivery mechanism 2 delivers granular medication directly to the patient's throat, making swallowing easier and preventing the medication from decomposing due to chewing or saliva soaking, which could affect its efficacy. The positioning mechanism 3 limits the movement of the delivery mechanism 2, preventing it from failing to deliver the medication properly or moving too far, which could lead to injury to the patient.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a sliding sleeve 4 fixedly installed inside the expansion frame 1. A shaping frame 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 4. The drug delivery mechanism 2 includes an extension tube 6 slidably installed inside the sliding sleeve 4. A positioning ring 5 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the extension tube 6, and the positioning ring 5 abuts against the top of the sliding sleeve 4. An airbag 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension tube 6, and a drug delivery nozzle 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extension tube 6. The sliding sleeve 4 fixedly installed inside the expansion frame 1 facilitates the sliding of the extension tube 6, thereby... The sliding extension tube 6 pushes the delivery nozzle 8 to the patient's throat to deliver the medication. By squeezing the air bag 7 fixedly connected to the top of the extension tube 6, the gas in the air bag 7 can be quickly expelled into the extension tube 6, and then discharged from one end of the extension tube 6 through the delivery nozzle 8, delivering the medication in the delivery nozzle 8 into the patient's throat. The positioning ring 5, which is rotated and installed on the outer wall of the extension tube 6, can be rotated according to the depth of the patient's throat, thereby limiting the extension tube 6 and preventing the extension tube 6 from being inserted too far, which could cause damage to the patient's throat.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the delivery nozzle 8 is provided with an exhaust groove 9, and the inside of the exhaust groove 9 is provided with a medicine groove 10. The exhaust groove 9 at the bottom end of the delivery nozzle 8 facilitates the use of gas generated by the squeeze airbag 7 to push the medicine pellets. The medicine groove 10 inside the exhaust groove 9 can wrap and limit the medicine pellets, preventing the medicine pellets from falling off during the pushing of the extension tube 6.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the expansion frame 1 has an occlusal groove 15 on its outer wall, and a positioning rubber ring 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the expansion frame 1. The positioning rubber ring 11 is located at the top of the occlusal groove 15. The occlusal groove 15 on the outer wall of the expansion frame 1 facilitates the patient's biting of the expansion frame 1, limits and fixes the expansion frame 1, and facilitates the pushing of the extension tube 6. At the same time, the positioning rubber ring 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the expansion frame 1 can be attached to the patient's lips to prevent the patient from biting the expansion frame 1 too much, which would cause the entire expansion frame 1 to enter the patient's oral cavity and affect the medication delivery operation.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a handle 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the expansion frame 1. The handle 12 is curved. By fixing the handle 12 to the top of the expansion frame 1, it is convenient to hold the handle 12 to pick up and put down the expansion frame 1, which facilitates the entire drug feeding operation. Moreover, the curved handle 12 is easy to hold, which improves the comfort of using the entire device.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the expansion frame 1 has a weakening groove 13 inside. The weakening groove 13 is located on both sides of the positioning ring 5. By opening the weakening groove 13 inside the expansion frame 1, the softness of the expansion frame 1 can be improved, thereby improving the comfort of the patient when holding the expansion frame 1.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the expansion frame 1 is elliptical in shape and is made of rubber. The elliptical shape of the expansion frame 1 conforms to the contour of the human oral cavity and improves the comfort of biting.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the extension tube 6 is made of flexible rubber with latex wrapped around its outer wall. The flexibility of the rubber can be used to prevent the extension tube 6 from being too soft to push the drug particles. At the same time, the latex wrapped around its outer wall can prevent the extension tube 6 from causing damage to the patient's oral cavity during the pushing process.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the shaping frame 14 is made of rigid plastic and the overall shape of the shaping frame 14 is arc-shaped. The shaping frame 14 made of rigid plastic can form a protective frame inside the expansion frame 1, thereby avoiding the situation where the sliding sleeve 4 inside the expansion frame 1 is deformed due to the patient biting the expansion frame 1, which would affect the sliding of the extension tube 6.

[0043] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: The medicine to be fed is placed into the medicine slot 10 in the medicine delivery mouthpiece 8. Then, according to different patients, the positioning ring 5 on the outer wall of the extension tube 6 is rotated to adjust the insertion distance of the extension tube 6. Then, the support frame 12 is held and the expansion frame 1 is placed in the patient's mouth, so that the patient bites into the occlusal groove 15 on the outer wall of the expansion frame 1. Then, the extension tube 6 is pushed so that the medicine delivery mouthpiece 8 at one end of the extension tube 6 is moved to the patient's throat. By squeezing the air bag 7, the gas inside the air bag 7 is quickly passed through the extension tube 6 and the medicine delivery mouthpiece 8, and the medicine in the medicine delivery mouthpiece 8 is pushed out by the airflow to complete the medicine delivery operation. Then, the extension tube 6 is quickly pulled out and the expansion frame 1 is taken out.

[0044] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
