[0002] Human life is inseparable from medical care, and the continuous development of medical equipment has greatly facilitated people's medical treatment. Taking into account that some people, such as the elderly, have poor swallowing ability and find it difficult to take medicine independently, the medicine feeder was born. It can help patients swallow medicine in the form of oral feeding. The emergence of the medicine feeder has greatly facilitated the work of medical staff and other people.

[0003] However, most traditional medicine feeding devices are injection-type thick needles, which can meet basic medicine feeding needs, but objectively there are still some areas that need to be improved. For example, the medicine needs to be manually mixed before it can be drawn through the medicine feeder and then fed to the patient. For example, when injecting medicine, the patient has a poor experience and there is a problem of easy leakage of medicine or choking on the medicine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a medicine feeder for elderly care, aiming to improve the cumbersome process of traditional medicine feeders, which requires stirring first, then drawing and finally feeding the medicine, as well as the problem that the patient is easily choked by the injected medicine and the flow rate of the medicine is difficult to control.

[0029] The following will refer to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: the bottom end of the cavity 2 is fixedly connected with a base 5, the top outer wall of the base 5 is fixedly connected with a protective shell 4, a motor 7 is arranged inside the protective shell 4, the power output end of the motor 7 passes through the top outer wall of the base 5 and is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 12, a toggle switch 3 is arranged on the right end outer wall of the cavity 2, a medicine feeding hose 6 is arranged on the bottom outer wall of the cavity 2, the cavity 2 is provided with a medicine outlet 8 at the connection with the medicine feeding hose 6, a flow valve 14 is installed at one end of the medicine feeding hose 6 close to the cavity 2, a one-way circulation valve 15 is installed at the other end of the medicine feeding hose 6, a soft silicone shell 16 is arranged on the outside of the one-way circulation valve 15, a nipple 17 is arranged on the outer wall of the soft silicone shell 16, and a ball 18 is arranged on the outer inner wall of the soft silicone shell 16.

[0032] Specifically, the cavity 2 can be made of a transparent material and have a scale engraved thereon so that the medicine can be prepared more clearly and conveniently and the stirring of the medicine can be observed. The medicine outlet 8 passes through the outer wall of the cavity 2 and is fixedly connected to the medicine feeding hose 6.

[0033] Specifically, by manually rotating the circular pressing handle on the flow valve 14, the flow rate of the liquid medicine can be controlled in real time, and the one-way flow valve 15 ensures that the liquid medicine will not flow back and cause waste.

[0034] Specifically, the design of the nipple 17 makes it easier to feed medicine. By biting the nipple 17 lightly, the soft silicone shell 16 can be squeezed, thereby forcing the ball 18 to move slightly into the medicine feeding hose 6, so that the medicine can pass through the nipple 17 and be fed to the patient.

[0035] A cover 1 is arranged on the outer wall of the top end of the cavity 2, electric heating wires 9 are arranged inside the surrounding side walls of the cavity 2, and a stirring device 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the cavity 2.

[0036] The stirring device 10 is fixedly connected to the fixing pile 11, and the fixing pile 11 passes through the bottom outer wall of the cavity 2 and the top outer wall of the base 5. The bottom end of the fixing pile 11 is fixedly connected with a stirring gear 13, and the stirring gear 13 and the transmission gear 12 are both arranged inside the base 5, and the stirring gear 13 is meshed with the transmission gear 12.

[0037] Specifically, the base 5 plays the role of supporting the gears, protecting the transmission gear 12 and the stirring gear 13 from being disturbed and harming people during operation.

[0038] The toggle switch 3 is electrically connected to the motor 7 and the heating wire 9 at the same time.

[0039] Specifically, by toggling the toggle switch 3, the motor 7 and the heating wire 9 can be controlled to start working at the same time.

[0040] The protective shell 4 is used to protect the normal operation of the motor 7.

[0041] Specifically, the protective shell 4 should have certain heat dissipation holes to handle the heat generated by the motor 7 when it is working. At the same time, the protective shell 4 should also be detachable from the cavity 2 to facilitate the later cleaning and maintenance of the motor 7.

[0042] The ball 18 is located between the gap formed by the one-way flow valve 15 and the soft silicone shell 16 .

[0043] Specifically, when the ball 18 is compressed, it will move slightly backward, but it will be blocked by the one-way flow valve 15 to prevent it from entering the medicine feeding hose 6 and causing adverse consequences such as blockage.

[0044] Working principle: turn the toggle switch 3, the motor 7 and the heating wire 9 are powered on at the same time, that is, they start working at the same time, the motor 7 drives the transmission gear 12 to start rotating, thereby driving the stirring gear 13 to rotate, and a stirring device 10 is fixed inside the cavity 2 above the stirring gear 13, thereby being able to fully stir the medicine liquid in the cavity 2, while keeping the medicine liquid at a certain temperature, ensuring that the medicine liquid is at the most suitable temperature when being fed to the patient, thereby improving the patient's medicine drinking experience and comfort.

[0045] The design of the medicine feeding hose 6 improves the flexibility of medicine feeding and will not restrict the patient's medicine drinking posture. At the same time, the flow valve 14 can control the instantaneous flow of the medicine by tightening or loosening the circular compression handle. The one-way circulation valve 15 ensures that the medicine will not flow back and be wasted. At the top of the medicine feeding hose 6, the patient can lightly bite the pacifier 17 to cause a certain deformation of the soft silicone shell 16, thereby forcing the ball 18 to move slightly between the pacifier 17 and the one-way circulation valve 15, so that the medicine can flow smoothly through the pacifier 17 and be fed to the patient, ensuring that the patient will not be choked by the medicine during the medicine drinking process.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
