Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary feeding devices, and specifically relates to a feeding device for bedridden elderly patients. Background Art

[0002] After surgery, elderly patients have greatly reduced mobility and often have to stay in bed for rehabilitation. Their diet should be light and easily digestible food, such as millet porridge, rice porridge, soft noodles, etc. Since they cannot move freely, caregivers need to feed these elderly patients manually.

[0003] The traditional way of feeding with bowls, chopsticks and spoons has a large heat dissipation surface for food, which is easy to cool down; if it is too hot, it will cause discomfort to the elderly patients. However, syringes or food feeding bottles put food into the bottle body (barrel body) and add an insulation layer on the outside to slow down the heat dissipation. In this way, liquid food can be squeezed out in multiple times, which is convenient for feeding one by one.

[0004] When the existing food feeding bottles assist bedridden elderly patients to eat, a number of valves are installed at the bottle mouth, which are opened when the bottle body is squeezed, and can restore their shape to close the bottle mouth after the bottle body is released. There are gaps between these valves, which often stick to food residues after feeding. It is difficult to completely open these gaps during cleaning, and it is not thorough to rinse with clean water, resulting in the problem of dead corners in the bottle mouth of the food feeding bottle after feeding. For this reason, we propose a feeding device for bedridden elderly patients. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a feeding device for bedridden elderly patients, which can solve the problem that the gap of the bottle mouth of the existing food feeding bottle cannot be thoroughly cleaned, and can be rinsed with clean water to reduce the cleaning dead corner at the bottle mouth after feeding.

[0006] The technical solutions adopted in this utility are as follows:

[0007] A feeding device for bedridden elderly patients comprises a bottle body, a duckbill portion is connected and fixed at the bottle mouth of the bottle body, a flat tube and a stainless steel clip sleeved on the outside of the flat tube are sleeved on the outside of the duckbill portion, a grip is fixed on the outside of the bottle body, the lower end of the grip is bent toward the stainless steel clip and a rotating shaft is rotatably installed, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the stainless steel clip, when feeding, the caregiver first sleeves the flat tube on the duckbill portion with an interference fit, operates the stainless steel clip around the rotating shaft to clamp the flat tube to seal it, and then turns the duckbill portion on the bottle body downward to feed the liquid food at a suitable temperature The liquid food is poured into the bottle body. After the liquid food is bottled, the flat tube opening is used to probe into the mouth of the bedridden elderly patient. The stainless steel clamp is opened intermittently and the feeding can be divided into multiple times. The opening interval of the stainless steel clamp can be adaptively changed according to the appetite of different patients, so that the quantitative liquid food can flow into the mouth along the duckbill and the flat tube. After feeding, the stainless steel clamp can be opened, and then the flat tube can be pulled out to expose most of the duckbill and the flat tube, which can avoid gaps at the bottle mouth. It can be rinsed with clean water to reduce the cleaning dead corners at the bottle mouth after feeding, and the bottle body, duckbill and flat tube can be thoroughly cleaned.

[0008] A silicone ring is fixed to the edge of the flat tube away from the bottle body, forming an arc surface to contact the oral cavity, thereby preventing the edge of the flat tube from scratching the oral cavity and causing discomfort.

[0009] The end of the bottle body away from the duckbill portion is in an open structure and is threadedly mounted with a straight tube portion, an end of the straight tube portion away from the bottle body is fixed with a flexible bag, the flexible bag is in a bowl-shaped structure, the bottle body and the handle are for the caregiver to hold with one hand, and the straight tube portion supports the flexible bag to be suspended high, so that the caregiver can squeeze the flexible bag with the other hand to squeeze out liquid food under the action of internal pressure. When cleaning, the thread can be reversed to the tube portion until it is detached from the bottle body, so that the bottle body can be opened for easy washing.

[0010] The side of the flexible bag away from the bottle body is connected and fixed with a ventilation tube. When squeezing out liquid food, the ventilation tube can be closed by pinching it with hands or tying it with a rubber band, so that the liquid food can only flow into the flat tube. When feeding is stopped, the ventilation tube can be opened to allow air to enter through it to balance the pressure inside the bottle body.

[0011] The air vent is equipped with a one-way valve, which limits air from flowing into the bottle body from the outside. In this way, there is no need to close the air vent, so that it can only play the role of air intake. When the flexible bag is squeezed, no air will overflow from the air vent. The spring force inside the one-way valve is adjustable, which is convenient for pushing it open under the pressure inside the flexible bag.

[0012] A plurality of metal rings are fixed at intervals inside the flexible bag. The metal rings can be flattened by hand and can recover their shape after the hand is released, thereby improving the elastic effect of the flexible bag and facilitating air inhalation.

[0013] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0014] The present invention provides a practical feeding device for bedridden elderly patients. When feeding, a caregiver first puts a flat tube on the duckbill with an interference fit, operates a stainless steel clamp around a rotating axis to clamp the flat tube to seal it, then turns the duckbill on the bottle body downward, and pours liquid food with suitable temperature into the bottle body. After the liquid food is bottled, the flat tube opening is used to probe into the mouth of the bedridden elderly patient, and the stainless steel clamp is opened intermittently. The feeding can be divided into multiple times, and the opening interval of the stainless steel clamp is adaptively changed according to the food intake of different patients, so that a certain amount of liquid food can flow into the mouth along the duckbill and the flat tube. After feeding, the stainless steel clamp can be opened, and then the flat tube can be pulled out to expose the duckbill and most of the flat tube, so as to avoid gaps at the bottle mouth. The bottle body, the duckbill and the flat tube can be rinsed with clean water to reduce the cleaning dead corners at the bottle mouth after feeding, and the bottle body, the duckbill and the flat tube can be thoroughly cleaned.

After the fluid food is bottled, the flat tube 3 is opened and inserted into the mouth of the bedridden elderly patient, and the stainless steel clip 4 is opened intermittently. The feeding can be divided into multiple times, and the opening interval of the stainless steel clip 4 can be adaptively changed according to the appetite of different patients, so that the quantitative fluid food can flow into the mouth along the duckbill 2 and the flat tube 3. After the feeding is completed, the stainless steel clip 4 can be opened, and then the flat tube 3 can be pulled out to expose most of the duckbill 2 and the flat tube 3, which can avoid the formation of gaps at the bottle mouth. It can be rinsed with clean water to reduce the cleaning dead corners at the bottle mouth after feeding, and the bottle body 1, the duckbill 2 and the flat tube 3 can be thoroughly cleaned.

[0025] Among them, the outside of the bottle body 1 can be covered with an insulation layer, and softer insulation materials such as rubber and plastic insulation materials can be selected to keep food warm while feeding.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a silicone ring 7 is fixed to the edge of the flat tube 3 away from the bottle body 1. The silicone ring 7 can be made of food-grade silicone material and is integrally injection-molded with the flat tube 3 to form an arc surface that contacts the oral cavity, thereby preventing the edges of the flat tube 3 from scratching the oral cavity and causing discomfort.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the end of the bottle body 1 away from the duckbill portion 2 is an open structure and a straight tube portion 8 is threadedly installed. The straight tube portion 8 can be made of food-grade material. A flexible capsule 9 is fixed to the end of the straight tube portion 8 away from the bottle body 1. The flexible capsule 9 can be made of food-grade silicone material. The flexible capsule 9 is a bowl-shaped structure. The bottle body 1 and the handle 5 are used for the caregiver to hold with one hand, and the straight tube portion 8 supports the flexible capsule 9 to be suspended high, so that the caregiver can squeeze the flexible capsule 9 with the other hand to squeeze out the fluid food under the action of the internal pressure. When cleaning, the straight tube portion 8 can be reversed along the thread until it is separated from the bottle body 1, so that the bottle body 1 can be opened for easy washing.

The one-way valve 11 limits the air to flow into the bottle body 1 from the outside. When the flexible bag 9 is squeezed, the internal gas of the flexible bag 9 will not overflow from the ventilation tube 10; a plurality of metal rings 12 are fixed at intervals inside the flexible bag 9. The metal rings 12 are made of memory metal. When the flexible bag 9 is squeezed, the metal rings 12 are deformed with the flexible bag 9. After the flexible bag 9 is released, the flexible bag 9 returns to its original shape under the action of the metal rings 12. At this time, air enters the bottle body 1 from the outside through the one-way valve 11.

[0029] The working principle of the utility model is that when feeding, the caregiver first puts the flat tube 3 on the duckbill 2 with an interference fit, operates the stainless steel clamp 4 around the rotating shaft 6 to clamp the flat tube 3 to close it, and then turns the duckbill 2 on the bottle body 1 downward to pour the liquid food with suitable temperature into the bottle body 1.

[0030] After the liquid food is bottled, the flat tube 3 is opened and inserted into the mouth of the bedridden elderly patient, and the stainless steel clamp 4 is opened intermittently. The feeding can be divided into multiple times. The opening interval of the stainless steel clamp 4 is adaptively changed according to the appetite of different patients, so that the quantitative liquid food flows into the mouth along the duckbill 2 and the flat tube 3.

[0031] After feeding is completed, the stainless steel clip 4 can be opened, and then the flat tube 3 can be pulled out to expose most of the duckbill 2 and the flat tube 3, which can avoid gaps at the bottle mouth. It can be rinsed with clean water to reduce the cleaning dead corners at the bottle mouth after feeding, and the bottle body 1, the duckbill 2 and the flat tube 3 can be thoroughly cleaned.
