[0029] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1: As shown in the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5 The feeding jar 1 is provided with a feeding port on its upper surface, and a baffle 2 is rotatably provided on the upper side of the feeding port. The baffle 2 is rotatably provided on the upper side of the feeding port, and is used to close or open the feeding port to prevent food from leaking when not needed and to facilitate the addition of food when needed. The lower surface of the feeding jar 1 is fixedly connected to a support frame 3, and support rods 4 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the support frame 3. The support rods 4 and the support frame 3 are used to provide support for the whole. The stable design of the support frame 3 and the support rods 4 ensures the safety of the device during use and avoids food leakage or equipment damage caused by tipping over. The feeding jar 1 is a food storage container. The feeding port is provided on the upper surface of the feeding jar 1 to facilitate the addition of food. The lower surface is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 5 for guiding food to the bottom. At the same time, the material of the discharge pipe 5 is selected from corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean materials, which ensures the hygiene and safety of food transportation and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0031] The lower surface of the feeding tank 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 5, and the lower surface of the discharge pipe 5 is slidably provided with a connecting pipe 6, which is slidably provided on the lower surface of the discharge pipe 5 and is connected to the discharge pipe 5 through an insertion rod 7 and a wedge 11. A rotating motor 13 and a roller 14 are provided in the connecting pipe 6 to guide food from the discharge pipe 5 to the feeding hose 16. The upper surface of the connecting pipe 6 is fixedly installed with an insertion rod 7, and a slot 8 is provided on the side wall of the discharge pipe 5. The insertion rod 7 is inserted into the slot 8 and slidably provided therewith. A through groove 9 is provided on the side wall of the discharge pipe 5, and a mounting groove 10 is provided on the side wall of the insertion rod 7. A wedge 11 is slidably provided in the mounting groove 10. A compression spring 12 is provided in the mounting groove 10. The wedge 11 extends into the through groove 9 and slides therewith, and one end of the wedge 11 extends into the through groove 9 The rotary motor 13 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting tube 6 and is slidably arranged therewith. A rotary motor 13 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting tube 6. A roller 14 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotary motor 13 through a coupling. The roller 14 is rotatably arranged in the connecting tube 6. Two symmetrically arranged food troughs 15 are provided on the circumferential side of the roller 14. The rotary motor 13 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting tube 6. A roller 14 is fixedly mounted on the output end through a coupling. The roller 14 rotates in the connecting tube 6. Two symmetrically arranged food troughs 15 are provided on the circumferential side. At the same time, quantitative feeding is performed when the roller 14 rotates, and only one food trough 15 of food is fed at a time. The two symmetrically arranged food troughs 15 provided on the roller 14, the volume of each food trough 15 has been precisely calculated and can accommodate a certain amount of food. During the rotation of the drum 14, the food troughs 15 are aligned with the discharge pipe 5 one by one, so that only the food capacity of one food trough 15 is delivered each time, thereby accurately controlling the amount of food discharged each time. Since the volume of the food troughs 15 is fixed, the drum 14 can ensure that the food in each food trough 15 is completely delivered to the feeding hose 16 when rotating, avoiding food waste due to excessive discharge.

[0032] Preferably, the lower surface of the connecting tube 6 is fixedly connected to a feeding hose 16 for guiding food into the user's mouth for convenient eating. The feeding hose 16 is made of soft, non-toxic, corrosion-resistant high-quality medical silicone or similar materials. This material is not only comfortable to the touch and will not cause irritation or harm to the user's mouth, throat and other sensitive parts, but also has good biocompatibility, ensuring safety and hygiene under long-term use. The material of the feeding hose 16 is soft and comfortable and will not cause harm to the patient's mouth. At the same time, its length and curvature can be adjusted as needed to meet the needs of different patients.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, when in use, the insertion rod 7 at one end of the connecting tube 6 is inserted into the slot 8 on the side wall of the discharge tube 5. During insertion, the inclined surface of the side wall of the wedge block 11 is squeezed by the inner wall of the slot 8 and extends into the installation slot 10. When inserted to the end point, the wedge block 11 is driven by the rebound force of the compression spring 12 to reset and slide into the through slot 9, thereby realizing the rapid fixed installation of the connecting tube 6. At this time, the baffle 2 on the upper side of the feeding tank 1 is opened, and food is added to the feeding tank 1. The food flows to the discharge tube 5 under the action of gravity and enters the food groove 15 of the drum 14 in the connecting tube 6. At this time, the rotating motor 13 is started to drive the drum 14 to rotate intermittently. During rotation, the food in the food groove 15 of the drum 14 falls into the feeding hose 16, and the food enters the patient's mouth through the feeding hose 16 to complete the eating process.

[0034] Example 2: As shown in the attached Figure 2 To the attached Figure 5 As shown: This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that, further, a fixing plate 17 is fixedly installed in the through slot 9, and a top column 18 is slidably provided on the side wall of the fixing plate 17, and the top column 18 contacts the wedge block 11. An arc-shaped extrusion block 19 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the top column 18, and one end of the arc-shaped extrusion block 19 extends into the through slot 9 and slides therewith. A return spring 20 is sleeved on the outer surface of the top column 18, and the two ends of the return spring 20 are respectively connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 17 and the side wall of the arc-shaped extrusion block 19, and the fixing plate 17 is fixedly installed in the through slot 9, and the top column 18 is slidably provided on the side wall of the fixing plate 17, and contacts the wedge block 11. The arc-shaped extrusion block 19 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the top column 18, and one end extends into the through slot 9 and slides therewith. The return spring 20 is sleeved on the outer surface of the top column 18, and the two ends are respectively connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 17 and the side wall of the arc-shaped extrusion block 19, and is used to reset the top column 18 and the arc-shaped extrusion block 19 when the connection is released.

[0035] The sliding ring 21 is slidingly provided on the outer surface of the discharge pipe 5, and the lower surface of the sliding ring 21 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 22. One end of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly installed with an extrusion plate 23, and the extrusion plate 23 contacts the arc portion of the arc extrusion block 19. The side wall of the sliding ring 21 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed tension springs 24. The two ends of the tension spring 24 are respectively connected to the side wall of the sliding ring 21 and the lower surface of the support frame 3. The tension spring 24 is used to reset the sliding ring 21. Through this arrangement, when the connecting pipe 6 needs to be disassembled, replaced, cleaned, etc., by pulling down and sliding, the sliding plate drives the extrusion plate 23 to slide downward, and the extrusion plate 23 pushes the arc extrusion block 19 and the top column 18, thereby releasing the connection between the wedge block 11 and the through groove 9.

[0036] Preferably, food flow channels 25 are provided on both side walls of the food trough 15, which facilitate the food in the connecting tube 6 to flow into the food trough 15 faster, and also enable the food to flow from the food trough 15 into the feeding hose 16 faster during the rotation process.

[0037] Furthermore, a sealing groove 32 is provided on the upper surface of the connecting pipe 6, and a sealing ring matching the sealing groove 32 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the discharge pipe 5. The sealing groove 32 is inserted into the sealing ring and slides with it. The sealing ring is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the discharge pipe 5 and matches the sealing groove 32. When the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the discharge pipe 5, the sealing groove 32 is inserted into the sealing ring and slides with it to ensure the sealing of the connection and prevent food leakage.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to replace the connecting tube 6 and feeding hose with different inner diameters, after pulling the sliding ring 21 downward, the sliding plate drives the extrusion plate 23 to slide downward, and the extrusion plate 23 pushes the arc-shaped extrusion block 19 and the top column 18. The arc-shaped extrusion block 19 and the top column 18 squeeze the wedge block 11 during the inward sliding process, and the wedge block 11 is pressed into the installation groove 10 again, releasing the locking fixation of the connecting tube 6. At this time, the connecting tube 6 can be directly pulled out to be quickly disassembled. At this time, according to the patient's swallowing function, the connecting tube 6 with different inner diameters can be replaced and inserted into the discharge pipe 5 for quick fixed installation. At the same time, the food flow channel 25 provided during the auxiliary feeding process facilitates the food in the connecting tube 6 to flow into the food trough 15 faster. At the same time, during the rotation process, the food can also flow from the food trough 15 into the feeding hose 16 faster. The sealing ring provided ensures the sealing of the connection to prevent food leakage.

[0039] Example 3: As shown in the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 7 As shown: On the basis of Example 1, a driving motor 26 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the feeding tank 1, and the output end of the driving motor 26 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 27 via a coupling. One end of the rotating rod 27 extends into the feeding tank 1 and a plurality of evenly distributed stirring rods 28 are fixedly mounted on the outer surface thereof. The driving motor 26 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the feeding tank 1, and the output end thereof is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 27 via a coupling. The rotating rod 27 extends into the feeding tank 1 and a plurality of evenly distributed stirring rods 28 are fixedly mounted on the outer surface thereof, which are used to stir the food after adding the food to prevent it from agglomerating or settling.

[0040] Preferably, the lower surface of the feeding jar 1 is provided with an inclined portion 29. The inclined portion 29 is provided on the lower surface of the feeding jar 1 and is used to enable the food to flow smoothly to the discharge pipe 5 when the stirring rod 28 stirs the food, thereby playing a drainage role. At the same time, the setting of the inclined portion 29 not only optimizes the flow path of the food, but also reduces the food residue in the feeding jar 1, thereby improving the utilization rate of the food.

[0041] Furthermore, two symmetrically arranged connecting plates 30 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the rotating rod 27, and a scraper 31 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting plate 30. The scraper 31 contacts the inclined portion 29 and is used to scrape off residual food on the inclined portion 29 when the stirring rod 28 stirs the food to prevent its accumulation or agglomeration. At the same time, it can also improve the cleaning effect of the inclined portion 29 of the tank body during the cleaning process.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, when in use, after opening the baffle 2, pour the food into the feeding tank 1, start the drive motor 26, and the drive motor 26 drives the rotating rod 27 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating rod 27, the stirring rod 28 is driven to rotate to stir the food in the tank to prevent it from agglomerating or settling. During the stirring process, the inclined portion 29 can be used to drain the food so that the food can flow smoothly to the discharge pipe 5.
