Description

Controllable speed medicine feeding device for dysphagia population TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a medicine feeder, in particular to a controllable speed medicine feeding device for dysphagia population. BACKGROUND

[0002] The medicine feeding process of dysphagia population (such as children, elderly patients, postoperative convalescents, etc.) has long been facing severe challenges. Such population is limited by physiological functions, and the swallowing reflex is weakened or uncoordinated, and is extremely sensitive to the pushing speed of liquid medicine. The existing medicine feeding mode mainly relies on manual medicine feeder, and depends on the operator to manually push the piston to complete the liquid medicine delivery, but there are significant defects.

[0003] Traditional manual medicine feeding completely relies on human power to control the pushing force and speed, and is affected by the experience, physical strength fluctuation and emotion of the operator, so that the pushing speed of liquid medicine often appears fast and slow. When the pushing speed is too fast, the liquid medicine is easy to be inhaled into the airway, causing choking, aspiration and even suffocation risk; if the speed is too slow, the medicine feeding time is likely to be prolonged, the patient's resistance psychology is increased, and the accuracy of the medicine dose is easy to be affected by the residual liquid medicine in the oral cavity.

[0004] Although there are some auxiliary medicine feeding tools on the market, most of them lack precise speed control function. Some electric medicine feeding devices have complex structure, high operation threshold, and cannot optimize the speed control logic according to the special needs of dysphagia population, so it is difficult to adapt to the individual differences of different patients. Therefore, the development of a medicine feeding device capable of stable control of medicine feeding speed and simple operation has become the key to solving the safe medicine feeding problem of dysphagia population. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology, and to provide a controllable speed medicine feeding device for dysphagia population.

[0010] The middle core part is fixedly provided with a handle type battery compartment at the lower part.

[0011] As an improvement, a controller is fixedly arranged on the front upper part of the handle type battery compartment.

[0012] As an improvement, a storage battery is arranged in the handle type battery compartment.

[0013] As an improvement, the storage battery is a lithium battery.

[0014] As an improvement, the opening of the tail limiting gap faces upward, and the lower part of the tail limiting gap extends to the middle part of the tail limiting plate body.

[0015] As an improvement, the opening of the Ω type pipe clamp part faces upward.

[0016] As an improvement, sliding rod bodies are symmetrically arranged on the lower part of the pushing plate body, the sliding rod bodies pass through the middle core part and are in sliding fit with the middle core part.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that:

[0018] The device realizes precise and controllable feeding speed by the cooperation of the electric two-stage telescopic rod body and the controller. The controller can flexibly adjust the telescopic speed of the electric two-stage telescopic rod body, thereby changing the speed of the pushing plate body pushing the piston part, and finally precisely controlling the liquid medicine pushing speed.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model embodiment more clear.

[0023] With reference to the drawings, the controllable speed medicine feeding device for dysphagia population includes a middle core part 1. The rear upper side of the middle core part 1 is fixed with a tail limiting plate body 2. The upper part of the tail limiting plate body 2 is provided with a tail limiting notch 3. The opening of the tail limiting notch 3 faces upward. The lower part of the tail limiting notch 3 extends to the middle part of the tail limiting plate body 2. The lower part of the middle core part 1 is fixed with an auxiliary plate body 4. The front end of the auxiliary plate body 4 is fixed with an Ω-shaped clamping pipe part 5. The opening of the Ω-shaped clamping pipe part 5 faces upward. The front part of the medicine feeder body core part is clamped by the Ω-shaped clamping pipe part 5. The tail part of the medicine feeder body core part is located in the tail limiting notch 3. The core ear of the tail part of the medicine feeder body core part is limited by the tail limiting plate body 2. The middle core part 1 is fixed with an electric secondary telescopic rod body 6. The piston rod of the electric secondary telescopic rod body 6 extends backward. The piston rod of the electric secondary telescopic rod body 6 is fixed with a pushing plate body 7. The pushing plate body 7 extends upward. The lower part of the pushing plate body 7 is symmetrically provided with a sliding rod body 8. The sliding rod body 8 penetrates through the middle core part 1 and is in sliding fit with the middle core part 1.

The handle type battery compartment 9 is provided with a storage battery. The storage battery is a lithium battery. The front side of the handle type battery compartment 9 is fixed with a controller 10.

[0024] The device realizes precise control of the medicine feeding speed by the cooperation of the electric secondary telescopic rod body and the controller. The controller can flexibly adjust the telescopic speed of the electric secondary telescopic rod body, thereby changing the speed of the pushing plate body pushing the piston part, and finally accurately controlling the medicine pushing speed. This electric control mode replaces the traditional manual medicine feeding, avoids the problem of fast and slow medicine feeding speed caused by uneven force and unstable speed during manual operation, and makes the medicine feeding process more stable.

[0025] For dysphagia population, this controllable speed medicine feeding function is crucial. Too fast medicine feeding speed can easily cause them to cough, aspirate and even endanger their lives. However, the device can adjust the medicine feeding speed to an appropriate level according to the swallowing ability and specific condition of the patient, effectively reducing the above risks. At the same time, the precise speed control ensures that the medicine can enter the body at a uniform speed, ensuring the accuracy of the medicine dose, which is conducive to improving the treatment effect.

[0026] In addition, other structures of the device also provide strong support for controllable speed medicine feeding. The design of the tail limiting plate body and the Ω-shaped clamping pipe part ensures the stability of the medicine feeder during use, reduces the possibility of accidental slipping and displacement, and makes the speed control more accurate and reliable. The design of the handle type battery compartment facilitates the operator to hold and operate the device, so that the operator can more stably control the medicine feeding process, further ensuring the controllability of the medicine feeding speed.

[0027] The above describes the present application and its embodiments, which are not limiting, and the drawings show only one of the embodiments of the present application, and the actual structure is not limited thereto.
