Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nursing equipment technology and relates to a medical self-controlled drinking water device. Background Technology
[0002] Patients with high-level paraplegia are almost unable to take care of themselves and need help with everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation. Since they cannot drink water on their own, they can only rely on caregivers and family members to feed them water regularly. When patients do not drink enough water, they are prone to problems such as urinary tract infections and urinary tract stones.
[0003] Currently, patients mainly drink water through straws or by being fed by caregivers. However, when drinking through straws, patients have difficulty controlling the force, and caregivers may cause aspiration and choking due to the inability to control the feeding speed, which can be dangerous for patients.

[0034] 2. The water-sealing beads seal the liquid using liquid pressure and their own weight. When the drinking head is positioned so that the entire drinking head is horizontal or even tilted upwards, there is a possibility of leakage. By setting up a water-sealing mesh made of silicone rubber, the water-sealing beads are pressed against the conical end of the drinking part by their own elasticity, thus reducing leakage.
[0035] 3. By setting multiple positioning elements, the positioning elements are rotated after clamping to make them abut against the clamping position, thereby increasing the contact points between the sliding plate and the fixed plate and the clamping surface and reducing the possibility of shaking.

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention discloses a medical self-controlled drinking device, comprising a fixing clip 1, which is clamped in the use position. The fixing clip 1 is equipped with a fixing rod 2. A water supply bottle 3 is installed at the end of the fixing rod 2 away from the fixing clip 1. A water supply pipe 41 is connected to the bottom of the water supply bottle 3. A gooseneck tube 42 is fixedly installed in the water supply bottle 3. The water supply pipe 41 is installed inside the gooseneck tube 42. An air inlet pipe 31 is connected to the water supply bottle 3. A drinking head 5 is fixedly installed in the gooseneck tube 42. The drinking head 5 is connected to the water supply pipe 41. The end of the drinking head 5 away from the fixing pipe 51 is conical. A sealing bead 6 is placed inside the drinking head 5. The diameter of the sealing bead 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the drinking head 5 but larger than the minimum inner diameter of the conical end of the drinking head 5.
[0043] Specifically, the device is secured to the lying position of the high-level paraplegic patient using a clamp 1, such as at the edge of a table or bedside. Water or other drinking liquid is placed in the water bottle 3, which is supported at a higher position by a fixing rod 2, allowing gravity to allow the liquid to flow into the water supply pipe 41. The water bottle 3 is connected to an air inlet pipe 31, allowing air to enter and preventing negative pressure from preventing the liquid from flowing out. The water supply pipe 41 is installed inside a gooseneck tube 42, allowing the drinking head 5 to be positioned appropriately for the patient to drink. A sealing bead 6 is installed inside the drinking head 5. Under the pressure of the water flow, the sealing bead 6 presses against the conical end of the drinking head 5, preventing liquid from flowing out. When the patient drinks, they hold the drinking head 5 in their mouth and push the sealing bead 6 open with their tongue, allowing the liquid to flow out.
[0044] In this way, by setting up the drinking head 5, the patient can control the amount of liquid flowing out by using their tongue. And by using the fixing clip 1, fixing rod 2 and gooseneck tube 42, the drinking head 5 can be placed at the patient's head position, so that the patient can drink independently as needed, reducing the problem of choking caused by improper coordination between the patient and the nursing staff in the water supply speed.
[0045] In some feasible methods, the fixing clip 1 can be an I-shaped clip or similar, clamping onto the edge of a desktop or bed board; the fixing rod 2 can be a cylindrical rod; the water bottle 3 is a drinking bottle made of food-grade material; to facilitate drinking hot water, the water bottle 3 and the water supply pipe 41 should have a certain degree of high temperature resistance, such as the water bottle 3 being made of high borosilicate glass and the water supply pipe 41 being made of food-grade silicone; the gooseneck tube 42 is a shapeable flexible metal tube, which is an existing technology product used in devices such as table lamps, and will not be described in detail here.
[0046] The drinking head 5 can be made of food-grade stainless steel. The end of the drinking head 5 is threaded, and a circular baffle is fixedly connected to the end of the gooseneck tube 42. A nut is fitted on the outside of the circular baffle, and a retaining ring is fixed to the end of the nut. The inner diameter of the retaining ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the circular baffle. The nut is threadedly connected to the drinking head 5. An insert tube is fixedly installed inside the drinking head 5, and the water supply pipe 41 is inserted into the insert tube. The diameter of the sealing bead 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the drinking head 5, allowing water to flow out through the side of the sealing bead 6. The drinking head 5 has a tapered end, and the diameter of the sealing bead 6 is the minimum inner diameter of the tapered end of the drinking head 5. The tapered end should cause the sealing bead 6 to protrude slightly from the drinking head 5 to facilitate pushing by the tongue.
[0047] As one specific embodiment of the medical self-controlled drinking water device provided in the application, please refer to Figure 2 The drinking head 5 includes a fixed tube 51, which is fixedly connected to the gooseneck tube 42 and connected to the water supply tube 41. The end of the fixed tube 51 away from the gooseneck tube 42 is threadedly connected to the drinking part 52. The end of the drinking part 52 away from the fixed tube 51 is tapered. A water sealing bead 6 is installed on the drinking part 52. A water sealing net 53 is installed between the fixed tube 51 and the drinking part 52. The water sealing net 53 includes a circular fixing piece 531 with multiple water-permeable holes 532. The water sealing net 53 is made of silicone rubber material, and the water sealing bead 6 abuts against the water sealing net 53.
[0048] Overall, the sealing bead 6 seals the liquid through liquid pressure and its own gravity. When the drinking head 5 is positioned so that the drinking head 5 is horizontal or even tilted upwards, there is a possibility of leakage. By setting a sealing mesh 53 made of silicone rubber material, the sealing bead 6 is pressed against the conical end of the drinking part 52 by its own elasticity, thus reducing leakage.
[0049] Silicone rubber is an elastic material. When in use, the patient pushes the sealing bead 6 with their tongue to make the liquid flow out. After the patient stops pushing with their tongue, the sealing net 53 resets the sealing bead 6.
[0050] Furthermore, the permeable holes 532 are fan-shaped, and multiple permeable holes 532 are arranged in a circumferential array on the fixed plate 531.
[0051] It should be understood that the fan-shaped permeable holes 532 make the center of the fixing plate 531 form a centrally intersecting mesh. By setting multiple permeable holes 532, the resistance to liquid flow is reduced, and the thrust required to push the sealing water beads 6 is reduced.
[0052] Furthermore, a stepped surface is provided on the inner side of the drinking water section 52, the water sealing net 53 is placed on the stepped surface, and the fixing pipe 51 is tightened and pressed against the stepped surface.
[0053] It should be understood that by setting the stepped surface, the water sealing net 53 provides sealing force for the water sealing beads 6, and also serves as a sealing gasket between the fixed pipe 51 and the drinking water part 52.
[0054] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided on the inner side of the conical end of the drinking water section 52, and the water sealing bead 6 abuts against the sealing ring.
[0055] It should be understood that a sealing ring is provided to facilitate sealing.
[0056] As another specific embodiment of the medical self-controlled drinking water device provided in the application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The fixing clamp 1 includes a fixing plate 11, which has multiple mounting holes. A threaded rod 12 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 11. A sliding plate 13 is slidably installed on the threaded rod 12. The sliding plate 13 has multiple mounting holes corresponding to the fixing plate 11. A fixing knob 14 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 12. A positioning element 15 is threadedly connected to each mounting hole.
[0057] In specific usage scenarios, when the fixing clamp 1 is used, the sliding plate 13 is pressed by the fixing knob 14, and the sliding plate 13 and the fixing plate 11 clamp the object to form a fixing force. However, the fixing knob 14 is located at one end of the sliding plate 13 and the fixing plate 11, and the force on the sliding plate 13 and the fixing plate 11 is uneven, which may cause shaking. By setting multiple positioning parts 15, after clamping, the positioning parts 15 are rotated to make the positioning parts 15 abut against the clamping position, thereby increasing the contact points between the sliding plate 13 and the fixing plate 11 and the clamping surface, reducing the possibility of shaking.
[0058] In some feasible embodiments, the positioning element 15 includes a fixing screw 151 threaded into the mounting hole. One end of the fixing screw 151, located within the fixing plate 11 and the sliding plate 13, is rotatably connected to a positioning disk 152. A handle 153 is fixedly mounted on the end of the fixing screw 151 away from the positioning disk 152. At least three positioning elements 15 are provided, and the three positioning elements 15 are not collinear.
[0059] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The end of the fixing screw 151 away from the fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 16. The mounting block 16 has insertion holes on its side, and the fixing rod 2 is threaded into one of the insertion holes.
[0060] It should be understood that by threading the mounting block 16 with multiple insertion holes to the fixing rod 2, on the one hand, the fixing rod 2 can be adjusted according to the clamping position of the fixing clamp 1 through the multiple insertion holes; on the other hand, the rigid connection of the threaded connection reduces the shaking of the fixing rod 2 when the patient uses it or when the nursing staff adjusts the position of the gooseneck tube 42, thereby reducing the possibility of the fixing clamp 1 loosening due to shaking and improving the stability of clamping.
[0061] Furthermore, the fixing rod 2 is slidably connected to a fixing ring 21. One end of the fixing ring 21 is provided with a plurality of locking blocks 22 arranged in a circular array, and the end face of the insertion hole is provided with a corresponding locking hole. Both the fixing ring 21 and the end face of the insertion hole are provided with magnetic blocks.
[0062] It should be understood that when patients use the product or when nursing staff adjust the position of the gooseneck tube 42, the water supply bottle 3 may cause the fixing rod 2 to rotate, causing the fixing rod 2 to disengage from the fixing clamp 1. By setting the locking block 22, the rotation direction of the fixing rod 2 is locked after installation.
[0063] In some feasible methods, the fixing ring 21 is circular and the locking block 22 is rectangular. To facilitate the insertion of the locking block 22, the number of locking holes is set to an integer multiple of the number of locking blocks 22.
[0064] When the fixing rod 2 is tightened and the fixing ring 21 is difficult to insert, the fixing rod 2 can be rotated to allow the fixing ring 21 to be inserted.
[0065] As one specific embodiment of the medical self-controlled drinking water device provided in the application, please refer to Figure 1 An adjustable pipe clamp 33 is installed on the fixed rod 2, and an installation clamp 32 is rotatably installed on the adjustable pipe clamp 33. The water supply bottle 3 is clamped in the installation clamp 32.
[0066] It should be understood that by providing a rotatable mounting clip 32, the angle of the water supply bottle 3 can be easily adjusted so that the gooseneck tube 42 always faces downward.
[0067] In some feasible methods, the mounting clip 32 is set as a pipe clamp, and the adjustable pipe clamp 33 is connected to the mounting clip 32 and the round pipe by a pin. A bearing is fixedly installed inside the round pipe, and the pin is fixedly inserted into the bearing. For easy fixing, the round pipe is threaded with a set screw, which abuts against the pin after being tightened.
[0068] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
