Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of feeding utensils, and specifically to an infant feeding device. Background Art

[0002] When feeding medicine to infants, on the one hand, it is necessary to accurately control the dosage of medicine, and on the other hand, it is necessary to avoid the medicine spilling during the medication process. Especially in the clinical work of newborns, in the case of breast milk additives, medicines, etc., more precise feeding in small doses is required. For this reason, various feeding devices for children and infants have emerged in the prior art.

[0003] For example, the patent document CN218010388U discloses a feeding device convenient for children to use, including a graduated liquid storage syringe and a feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding spoon at the front end of the syringe and structures such as a turntable and an adjusting rod. By rotating the turntable and the adjusting rod, when the feeding spoon extends into the child's cavity, the feeding spoon can be driven to rotate, and the liquid medicine contained in it can be poured into the child's mouth, without the need to lift the whole feeding device to pour the medicine, reducing the movement fluctuations during the feeding process and avoiding children's resistance.

[0004] Another example is that the patent document CN219208149U discloses a children's feeding spoon, including a tube. A piston rod is inserted and connected inside the tube. A rubber plug is fixedly connected to the front end of the piston rod. The front end of the tube is threadedly connected with a spoon. A connecting tube is provided at the rear end of the spoon. A spoon head is provided at the front end of the connecting tube. The top rear end of the spoon head is rotatably connected with a spoon cover through a shaft rod. When feeding medicine to children, on the one hand, the dosage of medicine can be accurately controlled, and on the other hand, the medicine can be prevented from spilling during the medication process.

[0005] Another example is that the patent document CN114159309A discloses a feeding assistance device for pediatric care, including: a hinge member installed between a threaded connecting tube and a feeding spoon, and a wire groove is provided at the bottom of the front end of the threaded connecting tube; a front threaded tube connected to the front end of the outer cylinder housing, and a scale groove is provided at the top of the outer cylinder housing, and side sliding grooves are provided on both left and right sides of the outer cylinder housing; a finger ring provided at the bottom of the middle section of the outer cylinder housing. When using this feeding assistance device, the medicine can be fed to infants in multiple time periods, and it is convenient for nurses to accurately operate the dosage of medicine.

[0006] The common point of the existing above-mentioned feeding devices is that a feeding spoon is provided at the front end of a syringe, so that the medicine in the syringe can be accurately delivered into the feeding spoon, and then feeding is carried out. However, these devices only solve the problem of how to accurately feed liquid medicine or liquid food. When encountering medicine dosage forms such as capsules and tablets, these dosage forms of medicine cannot be directly put into the syringe. Especially when feeding newborns, operations such as cutting, grinding, and sub-packaging of the medicine are also required to ensure the dosage of a small dose. Utility Model Content

[0029] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, similar to multiple feeding devices in the background art, the pediatric feeding device of this embodiment includes a syringe barrel 1, a plunger 2, and a medicine spoon 3. One end of the syringe barrel 1 is sealed and the other end is open, and a protruding liquid outlet nozzle 11 is provided at the sealed end. The plunger 2 is slidably inserted into the syringe barrel 1, and one end portion is exposed. The medicine spoon 3 is fixedly connected to the sealed end of the syringe barrel 1 and is located below the liquid outlet nozzle 11; obviously, the length of the medicine spoon 3 is greater than the length of the liquid outlet nozzle 11.

[0030] In addition, a handle 12 is provided on the outer side of the syringe barrel 1 for easy taking during operation. A scale is provided on the outer side of the syringe barrel 1 for measuring the volume of the fluid contained therein, and its accuracy can reach 1 ml or even 0.1 ml.

[0031] In addition, a convex ring 13 is provided on the outer side wall of the liquid outlet nozzle 11, and a removable sealing sleeve 14 is sleeved on the liquid outlet nozzle 11. The convex ring 13 is used to tightly sleeve the sealing sleeve 14 on the liquid outlet nozzle 11, and can also be used to firmly connect an external catheter or the like to the liquid outlet nozzle 11 after the sealing sleeve 14 is removed.

[0032] The syringe barrel 1 can aspirate the required liquid medicine or breast milk, etc. through the liquid outlet nozzle 11 (after connecting an external catheter), or the entire plunger 2 can be removed and loaded into the syringe barrel 1 from the other end. When feeding, the required amount of the content can be pushed into the medicine spoon 3 and then fed, or a catheter can be directly connected to the liquid outlet nozzle 11 for nasal feeding.

[0033] Different from existing medicine-feeding devices, the pediatric medicine feeder of this embodiment further includes a capsule scissor 4 and a medicine cutting and grinding device 5. The capsule scissor 4 is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the syringe barrel 1. The medicine cutting and grinding device 5 includes a grinding groove 51, a rotating column 52, and a medicine cutting cap 53; the grinding groove 51 is detachably mounted on the exposed end of the plunger 2 and is provided with a groove 511 facing away from the plunger 2; one end of the rotating column 52 is threadedly connected to the groove 511, and a convex head 521 matching the shape of the groove 511 is provided at this end, and an anti-slip member 522 for placing the tablet is provided on the end face of the other end of the rotating column 52; the medicine cutting cap 53 covers the anti-slip member 522 in an openable manner, and is provided with a cutter 531 with a blade facing the tablet on the anti-slip member 522.

[0034] The capsule scissor 4 is a U-shaped clip scissor, and an installation base 6 is provided between it and the syringe barrel 1. The installation base 6 includes a bottom plate 61 fixed to the outer side of the syringe barrel 1 and two parallel L-shaped side plates 62 fixed to the bottom plate 61. The area between the two L-shaped side plates 62 forms a T-shaped groove 63 that penetrates through both ends. The capsule scissor 4 is received in the T-shaped groove 63. The capsule scissor 4 can be received in the T-shaped groove 63, one is due to the elasticity it has itself, and the other is through the limiting and blocking effects of the two L-shaped side plates 62.

[0035] When the capsule scissor 4 is needed, for example, when taking capsule-type vitamin D or vitamin AD drops, it is taken out from one end of the T-shaped groove 63, a small opening is cut at the thin end of the capsule, and it is squeezed into the medicine spoon 3, or placed into the syringe barrel 1 and taken by nasal feeding alone or after being mixed with other liquid foods.

[0036] A circular plate 21 is fixedly connected to the exposed end of the plunger 2. A cylindrical barrel 512 is provided at the end of the grinding groove 51 facing the plunger 2. The inner wall of the cylindrical barrel 512 is threadedly connected to the circular plate 21 to achieve detachable connection.

[0037] The end face of the convex head 521 is spherical, and the bottom of the groove 511 is a spherical groove to ensure the grinding effect of the medicine. When grinding the medicine, tighten the rotating column 52, or alternately perform the method of "tightening - loosening" multiple times, and the tablet or pill can be ground into powder.

[0038] The anti-slip member 522 has a V-shaped opening on the end face of the rotating column 52. The blade of the cutter 531 is directly opposite the midline of the angle formed by the opening. The anti-slip member 522 of this structure is suitable for dividing tablets, and the tablet can be cut in half into two parts, or the contrast-cut tablet can be cut into quarter tablets; moreover, the V-shaped opening can adapt to tablets of different sizes (diameters).

[0039] A hinge 54 is connected between the medicine cutting cap 53 and the rotating column 52. The medicine cutting cap 53 is generally a barrel-shaped body that covers downward. The hinge refers to a mechanical component that connects the medicine cutting cap 53 and the rotating column 52 and allows relative rotation between the two. Commonly used ordinary hinges or various modified hinges can be selected. Its structure is well-known in the art and will not be elaborated here. Moreover, an elastic buckle 523 is provided at the end face edge of the rotating column 52 facing the medicine cutting cap 53, and a clamping groove 532 is formed on the inner side wall of the medicine cutting cap 53. When the medicine cutting cap 53 covers the anti-slip member 522, the buckle 523 is clamped in the clamping groove 532. After adopting the buckle connection, it can prevent the medicine cutting cap from being opened randomly; when in use, slightly push aside the medicine cutting cap with a little force to perform subsequent medicine cutting operations.

[0040] The medicine cutting and grinding device 5 can be used for grinding and cutting solid medicines (especially tablets). For medicine cutting or grinding, it can be operated when installed on the plunger 2, and then the whole device is removed; or the medicine cutting and grinding device 5 can be removed first, and then the medicine is cut or ground. The cut tablets are directly placed in the medicine spoon 3 and then fed; the ground medicine powder can also be placed in the medicine spoon 3 and directly fed, but it is best to mix it with other liquids and accurately push it through the syringe 1 before feeding.

[0041] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary rather than restrictive. Under the concept of this application, various modifications or deformations made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above should be within the protection scope of this application.
