Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of liquid feeding aid bottle technology, specifically a liquid feeding aid bottle for post-orthognathic surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Postoperative liquid feeding aid bottle for orthognathic surgery is a feeding aid designed specifically for postoperative patients. It is usually modified from an infusion bottle or similar container, and is equipped with components such as latex tubing and glass connectors to safely and hygienically deliver liquid food to the patient's mouth, avoiding direct contact with the surgical area, reducing the risk of infection, and adapting to the special needs of limited chewing and swallowing function after surgery.

[0003] Currently, most existing liquid feeding aids are rather crude in controlling the flow rate of liquids. Some devices rely solely on simple valve structures, resulting in a limited range of adjustable flow rates, making it difficult for patients to precisely control the flow according to their own swallowing rhythm. For example, some common liquid feeding bottles have valves with only two states (open and closed) or only a limited number of flow levels, failing to achieve continuous and flexible adjustment of the flow rate. Moreover, when feeding is paused, the valve may not be able to quickly and reliably cut off the liquid, easily leading to continued flow and increasing the risk of choking. In view of this, we propose a liquid feeding aid bottle for postoperative orthognathic surgery. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a liquid feeding aid bottle after orthognathic surgery, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a liquid feeding aid bottle for postoperative orthognathic surgery, comprising a bottle body, a bottle cap threadedly connected to the bottle mouth, a tube provided on the side wall of the bottle cap, and a control mechanism provided inside the bottle cap, the control mechanism comprising: The sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottle cap. The bottom of the sleeve has a groove, the inner wall of the sleeve has a partition, and the side wall of the sleeve has an air inlet. A sealing plug, the outer wall of which is connected to a moving rod, the moving rod passing through a partition and slidably connected to the partition, and a piston block connected to the end of the moving rod away from the sealing plug; The intake pipe passes through the pipe body and is rotatably connected to the pipe body, and the end of the intake pipe is threadedly connected to the intake port. Preferably, the tube body is connected to a connecting tube, and a rubber air bladder is connected to the end of the connecting tube away from the tube body. Pressing the rubber air bladder can increase the air pressure inside the sleeve body.

[0006] Preferably, a cap is threaded to the upper end of the sleeve, and a return spring is provided between the outer wall of the cap and the piston block.

[0007] Preferably, the bottle cap is provided with a discharge tube, the end of which is connected to a feeding tube, and the end of the feeding tube away from the discharge tube is connected to a feeding head.

[0008] Preferably, the liquid feeding tube is equipped with an auxiliary device, which includes a fixing hoop, a long rod connected to the outer wall of the fixing hoop, and a vertical rod connected to the outer wall of the long rod.

[0009] Preferably, the vertical rod is penetrated by the connecting block and threadedly connected to the connecting block, and a clamp is connected to the outer wall of the connecting block.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the bottle is threadedly connected to a base, the base has a built-in motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to a stirring rod for stirring and mixing the liquid food inside the bottle.

[0011] Preferably, the base has a charging port and a control switch on its side wall.

[0012] Preferably, the bottle body is provided with an observation port for observing the amount of liquid food inside the bottle body, and a fixing block is connected to the outer wall of the bottle body, and the fixing block is provided with a through groove.

[0013] Preferably, the grooves are provided in multiple sets and are circumferentially distributed at the bottom of the sleeve. Sealing gaskets are provided between the moving rod and the partition, between the sleeve and the cap, between the air inlet pipe and the air inlet, and between the air inlet pipe and the pipe body to improve the airtightness of the entire control mechanism.

[0014] This invention provides a liquid feeding aid bottle for postoperative orthognathic surgery. It has the following beneficial effects: (1) This post-orthognathic surgery liquid feeding aid bottle features a unique control mechanism design. Patients can independently press the rubber balloon according to their own swallowing rhythm, precisely adjusting the flow rate of the liquid food by controlling the pressure and frequency. Higher pressure results in a faster flow rate, while lower pressure results in a slower flow rate. When feeding is paused, releasing the rubber balloon automatically resets the sealing plug to cut off the liquid food delivery. This design is entirely under the patient's control, effectively matching the swallowing rhythm, significantly reducing the risk of choking due to improper flow rate, and significantly improving the comfort and safety of feeding.

[0015] (2) This liquid feeding aid bottle after orthognathic surgery is equipped with a neck fixation band and an arc-shaped clip to stably fix the liquid feeding tube and feeding head, preventing the feeding head from falling off when the patient swallows or turns their head, allowing them to eat independently without assistance; the bottle body has an observation port to easily check the liquid food level, and the base has a built-in stirring function to enable instant liquid food preparation; the hanging design saves space and is fully adaptable to the special usage scenarios of patients after orthognathic surgery.

[0016] (3) The components of the orthognathic surgery postoperative liquid feeding aid bottle are designed to be detachable, such as threaded connection and plug-in connection. All components can be quickly disassembled during postoperative cleaning and disinfection. Difficult-to-clean parts such as the liquid feeding tube and feeding head can be cleaned with special tools. After disassembly, they can be thoroughly rinsed and disinfected. After drying, they are easy to store, effectively avoiding residual stains and bacterial growth, and ensuring hygiene and safety for each use. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 This invention proposes a liquid feeding aid bottle after orthognathic surgery, including a bottle body 1, an observation port 11 for observing the amount of liquid food inside the bottle body 1, a fixing block 12 connected to the outer wall of the bottle body 1, the fixing block 12 having a through groove 13, a bottle cap 2 threadedly connected to the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1, a tube 21 on the side wall of the bottle cap 2, and a control mechanism inside the bottle cap 2. In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to control the flow rate of liquid food inside the bottle 1, the control mechanism specifically includes a sleeve 3, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottle cap 2. The bottom of the sleeve 3 is provided with a groove 30, the inner wall of the sleeve 3 is provided with a partition, the side wall of the sleeve 3 is provided with an air inlet 36, the outer wall of the sealing plug 32 is connected to a moving rod 33, the moving rod 33 passes through the partition and is slidably connected to the partition, the end of the moving rod 33 away from the sealing plug 32 is connected to a piston block 34, the air inlet pipe 37 passes through the pipe body 21 and is rotatably connected to the pipe body 21, the end of the air inlet pipe 37 is threadedly connected to the air inlet 36, the pipe body 21 is connected to a connecting pipe 5, the end of the connecting pipe 5 away from the pipe body 21 is connected to a rubber airbag 51, and the air pressure inside the sleeve 3 can be increased by pressing the rubber airbag 51. Furthermore, a cap 31 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the sleeve 3. Through the threaded connection between the cap 31 and the sleeve 3, the return spring 35 inside the sleeve 3 can be replaced. A return spring 35 is provided between the outer wall of the cap 31 and the piston block 34. Multiple sets of grooves 30 are provided and are circumferentially distributed at the bottom of the sleeve 3. Sealing gaskets are provided between the moving rod 33 and the partition, between the sleeve 3 and the cap 31, between the air inlet pipe 37 and the air inlet 36, and between the air inlet pipe 37 and the pipe body 21 to improve the airtightness of the entire control mechanism. Furthermore, the bottle cap 2 is provided with a discharge pipe 22, and a feeding tube 4 is connected to the end of the discharge pipe 22. The end of the feeding tube 4 away from the discharge pipe 22 is connected to a feeding head 41. The feeding tube 4 is equipped with an auxiliary device, which includes a fixing hoop 61. A long rod 62 is connected to the outer wall of the fixing hoop 61. A vertical rod 63 is connected to the outer wall of the long rod 62. The vertical rod 63 is penetrated by a connecting block 64 and is threadedly connected to the connecting block 64. A clamp 65 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 64. Furthermore, a base 7 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the bottle body 1. The base 7 has a built-in motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to a stirring rod 71 for stirring and mixing the liquid food inside the bottle body 1. The side wall of the base 7 is provided with a charging port 73 and a control switch 72. In this invention, during use, the intake pipe 37 and the pipe body 21 are removed, and one end of the intake pipe 37 is smoothly inserted through the reserved through hole of the pipe body 21. Once the threaded interface at the end of the intake pipe 37 is aligned with the air inlet 36 on the side wall of the sleeve 3, the intake pipe 37 is then slowly turned clockwise by hand. Initially, it can be lightly turned for positioning; after the threads are fully engaged, gradually increase the force to tighten it until the end of the intake pipe 37 fits snugly against the air inlet 36 without any gap.

[0029] It is important to note that, to ensure the device's airtightness, a silicone sealing gasket is provided on the end face of the air inlet 36 and the connection end face of the air inlet pipe 37. Additionally, an annular sealing gasket is fitted at the connection between the air inlet pipe 37 and the through hole of the pipe body 21. When the air inlet pipe 37 and air inlet 36 are fully tightened, the two sealing gaskets are subjected to uniform compressive force, resulting in slight elastic deformation, thereby filling the tiny gap at the connection point. This effectively prevents leakage of liquid or air pressure during subsequent use. Then, the connecting pipe 5 and the liquid feeding pipe 4 are respectively inserted into the outer walls of the pipe body 21 and the discharge pipe 22.

[0030] Next, the base 7 and bottle 1 are screwed together. Then, according to the patient's appetite and dietary needs, an appropriate amount of liquid food powder is slowly poured into bottle 1, followed by the addition of an appropriate amount of warm water. After pouring, the control switch 72 on the side of the base 7 is turned on, starting the motor inside the base 7 and causing the stirring rod 71 to rotate at a constant speed, ensuring thorough mixing of the powder and water. After mixing is complete, the control switch 72 is turned off, and the air generated inside bottle 1 during mixing is expelled.

[0031] After venting, tighten bottle cap 2 and bottle body 1 clockwise, ensuring the sealing gasket of bottle cap 2 fits tightly against the bottle opening of bottle body 1. Finally, align the through grooves 13 on the fixing blocks 12 fixed to both sides of the outer wall of bottle body 1 with the hooks above the head of the ward bed, and slowly suspend bottle body 1 to a suitable height, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in the initial state, the sealing plug 32 inside the sleeve 3 will be tightly pressed against the discharge pipe 22 on the bottle cap 2 by the elastic force of the return spring 35, forming a mechanical seal, which can effectively prevent liquid food from overflowing when not started.

[0032] Next, secure the clamp 61 around the patient's neck, then connect one end of the esophageal tube 4 to the feeding head 41, ensuring that both are firmly inserted to prevent them from falling off during feeding. Gently place the connected feeding head 41 into the patient's mouth.

[0033] Finally, the middle part of the esophagus 4 is inserted into the clip 65 on the fixing clamp 61. The clip 65 adopts an arc-shaped groove design, which can fit tightly against the outer wall of the esophagus 4, providing support and fixation for the esophagus 4, and preventing the feeding head 41 from falling out of the mouth when the patient swallows, turns their head, or makes unconscious movements.

[0034] During eating, the patient naturally holds the rubber airbag 51 with their hand. The rubber airbag 51 is made of medical-grade soft rubber. When the patient presses the rubber airbag 51 according to their own swallowing rhythm, the air inside the airbag will be squeezed out under pressure and flow into the air inlet pipe 37 through the connecting tube 5. Then, it is transported by the air inlet pipe 37 to the sealed chamber inside the sleeve 3, between the partition and the piston block 34. As air is continuously injected, the air pressure in the sealed chamber gradually increases. When the air pressure is greater than the elastic force of the return spring 35, the piston block 34 will move upward under the push of the air pressure. At the same time, the return spring 35 is compressed and produces elastic deformation.

[0035] Since the piston block 34 and the moving rod 33 are fixedly connected, the moving rod 33 will move upward synchronously with the piston block 34, thereby driving the sealing plug 32 connected to the lower end of the moving rod 33 to lift upward. At this time, the discharge pipe 22 on the bottle cap 2 is opened, and the liquid food inside the bottle body 1 flows into the discharge pipe 22 through the groove 30 opened at the bottom of the sleeve 3 under its own gravity. Then, it is transported by the liquid food tube 4 and finally slowly flows into the patient's mouth through the feeding head 41. The patient can adjust the flow rate of the liquid food by controlling the force and frequency of pressing the rubber air bag 51. The greater the pressing force, the more air enters the sleeve 3, the higher the sealing plug 32 is lifted, and the faster the liquid food flows; conversely, the flow rate is slower.

[0036] When the patient needs to stop eating, they simply release their grip on the rubber airbag 51. The rubber airbag 51 returns to its original shape under its own elasticity, generating negative pressure inside. The air pressure in the sealed chamber of the sleeve 3 decreases accordingly, and the air pressure force on the piston block 34 disappears. At this time, the return spring 35 releases the elastic deformation force, pushing the piston block 34 downward to reset. The moving rod 33 drives the sealing plug 32 to press against the discharge pipe 22 again, forming a seal again and cutting off the delivery of liquid food. This design is completely controlled by the patient and can accurately match the patient's swallowing rhythm, greatly improving the comfort and safety of eating and avoiding choking caused by excessive flow rate.

[0037] After all the liquid food in bottle 1 has been consumed, all parts need to be disassembled, cleaned, and disinfected promptly for future use: First, remove the fixing clamp 61 from the patient's neck, then disconnect the connection between the feeding head 41 and the liquid feeding tube 4, and the connection between the liquid feeding tube 4 and the dispensing tube 22 of the bottle cap 2. Next, remove bottle 1 from the hook, unscrew the bottle cap 2 and the base 7, and disassemble all detachable parts, including bottle 1, bottle cap 2, stirring rod 71, air inlet tube 37, connecting tube 5, liquid feeding tube 4, feeding head 41, etc.

[0038] After disassembly, rinse the surface and internal channels of each component with warm water. For hard-to-clean areas such as the feeding tube 4 and feeding head 41, use a special pipe cleaning brush to scrub and remove any remaining liquid food residue. After cleaning, immerse each component in diluted medical disinfectant for disinfection, then rinse thoroughly with sterile water. Finally, place each component in a clean, ventilated place to air dry. Once dry, store it in a special storage box to avoid dust contamination.

The specific connection methods of each part are all conventional methods such as riveting and welding that are mature in the prior art. In addition, the standard parts are all conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art.
