Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding assistance technology, specifically a feeding assistance device for patients with difficulty swallowing. Background Technology

[0002] When patients develop oropharyngeal diseases, they often experience difficulty swallowing. This condition not only makes eating difficult, but also causes various discomforts such as wheezing, pain, and acid reflux. If food gets stuck in the throat while eating, it can cause even more serious symptoms.

[0003] Therefore, in order to help patients eat, feeding aids are used. To make it easier for patients to eat, liquid food is used in the early stages of treatment. At this time, a soft tube is used to help patients eat. However, each patient's oral structure is different. Therefore, if the soft tube is too far away from the mouth or too close to the mouth, it will easily cause inconvenience for the patient to eat. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding aid for patients with difficulty swallowing, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that each patient's oral structure is different, and therefore, if the tube is too far or too close to the mouth, it can easily cause inconvenience for the patient to eat.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding aid for patients with dysphagia, comprising a feeding cylinder, a small motor installed at the top of the feeding cylinder, a stirring rod connected to the bottom of the small motor, a feeding inlet installed on one side of the feeding cylinder near the top, a telescopic tube installed at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, a connecting ring connected to the bottom of the telescopic tube, a connecting port connected to the bottom of the connecting ring, a flexible tube connected to the bottom of the connecting port, clamping plates installed on both sides of the connecting ring, an arc-shaped groove opened inside the clamping plate, and telescopic rods installed on both sides of the top of the clamping plate.

[0006] Preferably, the top end of the telescopic rod is connected and installed on both sides of the bottom end of the storage cylinder, and the telescopic rod is symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the storage cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the card plates are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the connecting ring, and a protective pad is bonded to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove.

[0008] Preferably, one side of the feed inlet is connected to the inside of the storage cylinder, the top end of the telescopic tube is connected to the inside of the storage cylinder, and the other side of the clamping plate is connected and installed to the outer wall of the connecting ring.

[0009] Preferably, heating tubes are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the storage cylinder, and a temperature sensor is installed on one side of the inner wall of the storage cylinder near the bottom. The heating tubes are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the storage cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, a carrying handle is installed at both the front and rear ends of the storage cylinder, and a crossbar is installed at the top of the carrying handle. The carrying handles are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the storage cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the telescopic tube is designed to be telescopic, and the top end of the connecting port and the interior of the connecting ring are interconnected.

[0012] Preferably, an annular mounting plate is installed on the inner wall of the connection port. The annular mounting plate is hollow, and a filter screen is installed at the bottom end of the annular mounting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this kind of feeding aid for patients with difficulty swallowing not only improves the convenience of eating, but also improves the heat preservation and filtration capabilities of the feeding aid.

[0014] (1) By feeding liquid food from the inlet, the material reaches the inside of the storage cylinder. The material is guided out by the telescopic tube and fed through the soft tube at the bottom of the connecting ring. At this time, the card plate can be installed on both sides of the connecting ring. The arc groove cooperates with the outside of the connecting ring. Then, the connection between the card plate and the connecting ring is fixed by bolts. After the telescopic rod is started, the connecting ring can be pushed down. At the same time, the telescopic tube is extended and retracted, so the soft tube can be brought closer to the patient's mouth. Therefore, the convenience of feeding is improved in the process.

[0015] (2) By installing heating tubes on both sides of the inner wall of the storage cylinder, the temperature inside the storage cylinder is monitored by temperature sensors. When the food reaches the inside of the storage cylinder, the small motor is started to drive the stirring rod to rotate, which can make the food more uniform. When the temperature inside the storage cylinder is too low, the heating tube starts to heat. When the temperature inside the storage cylinder is appropriate, the heating tube stops working to prevent the food from being too cold or too hot.

[0016] (3) By installing the annular mounting plate on the inner wall of the connection port, the annular mounting plate is used to connect and install the filter plate. When food flows out from the hose, it will be filtered through the filter plate first to prevent large pieces of food from appearing, reduce the problem of patients choking, and improve the safety during use.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a feeding assistance device for patients with dysphagia, comprising a storage cylinder 1, a small motor 2 installed at the top of the storage cylinder 1, a stirring rod 5 connected to the bottom of the small motor 2, a feeding port 13 installed on one side of the storage cylinder 1 near the top, a telescopic tube 7 installed at the bottom of the storage cylinder 1, a connecting ring 8 connected to the bottom of the telescopic tube 7, a connecting port 9 connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 8, a flexible tube 10 connected to the bottom of the connecting port 9, a retaining plate 11 installed on both sides of the connecting ring 8, an arc-shaped groove 15 opened inside the retaining plate 11, and telescopic rods 12 installed on both sides of the top of the retaining plate 11.

[0024] The top of the telescopic rod 12 is connected to both sides of the bottom of the storage cylinder 1, and the telescopic rod 12 is symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the storage cylinder 1.

[0025] The card plate 11 is symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the connecting ring 8, and a protective pad is glued to the inner wall of the arc groove 15.

[0026] One side of the feed inlet 13 is connected to the inside of the storage cylinder 1, the top of the telescopic tube 7 is connected to the inside of the storage cylinder 1, and the other side of the clamping plate 11 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring 8.

[0027] Heating tubes 4 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the storage cylinder 1. A temperature sensor 6 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the storage cylinder 1 near the bottom. The heating tubes 4 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the storage cylinder 1.

[0028] The storage cylinder 1 is equipped with a handle 3 at both the front and rear ends, and a crossbar 14 is installed at the top of the handle 3. The handles 3 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the storage cylinder 1.

[0029] The telescopic tube 7 is designed to be telescopic, and the top of the connecting port 9 and the inside of the connecting ring 8 are interconnected.

[0030] An annular mounting plate 16 is installed on the inner wall of the connection port 9. The annular mounting plate 16 is hollow, and a filter screen plate 17 is installed at the bottom of the annular mounting plate 16.

[0031] The further annular mounting plate 16 is hollow, while the filter plate 17 has a filter screen inside and is fixed by an annular frame on the outside. Therefore, the filter plate 17 is connected and installed by the annular frame and the annular mounting plate 16.

[0032] Furthermore, the end face of the storage cylinder 1 has a control panel, which is also used for temperature display. The monitoring signal of the temperature sensor 6 is received and processed by the control panel, so the operation and stop of the heating tube 4 can be manually operated. Furthermore, the heating tube 4 uses electric heating to perform heating work.

[0033] Working principle: First, the liquid food is fed into the inlet 13, allowing the material to reach the inside of the storage cylinder 1. Then, the small motor 2 is started to drive the stirring rod 5 to rotate, making the food more even. At the same time, the temperature sensor 6 monitors the temperature. When the temperature inside the storage cylinder 1 is too low, the heating tube 4 starts to heat it. When the temperature inside the storage cylinder 1 is appropriate, the heating tube 4 stops working. The material is then guided out through the telescopic tube 7 and, with the connection ring 8, flows out through the soft tube 10 at the bottom of the connection port 9. After the telescopic rod 12 is started, it can push the connection ring 8 down. At the same time, the telescopic tube 7 extends and retracts, bringing the soft tube 10 closer to the patient's mouth. Before flowing out, it will be filtered by the filter screen 17. In this way, the soft tube 10 completes the assisted feeding process.
