Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of nursing equipment, in particular to a water feeder for nursing bedridden patients. Background Art
[0002] A water feeder for bedridden patient care is a specially designed device used to help bedridden patients easily take in liquids. This type of water feeder allows patients to obtain the required liquids through simple operations when they are unable to drink water on their own. Its structure may include a container, a long mouth tube or straw, and has a function to prevent liquid leakage, as well as a water feeding method suitable for the patient's posture.
[0003] Due to the different physical conditions of bedridden patients, for example, some patients have weak swallowing ability, and too fast water flow when feeding water can easily cause choking. For patients with slightly stronger swallowing ability, too slow water flow will make the drinking process too long and laborious. On the other hand, patients have different needs for water flow in different states. For example, when a patient just wakes up, he may need a slower water flow to adapt, and when he is thirsty, he may want a slightly faster water flow. In some existing technologies, the water feeding device only feeds water through a set of water outlet pipes, and the water flow cannot be adjusted. It is not flexible enough and may reduce the patient's comfort. Therefore, a water feeder for nursing bedridden patients is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a water feeder for nursing bedridden patients, comprising a water bucket 1, a water outlet pipe 3 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom end of the water bucket 1 through a connecting mechanism 2, an outer wall of the water outlet pipe 3 is provided with an adjusting mechanism 4, the adjusting mechanism 4 comprises a round block 401, the inner wall of the round block 401 is rotatably connected to a turntable 402, the inner wall of the turntable 402 is fixedly connected to a control block 403, the outer wall of the turntable 402 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 404, the outer wall of the rotating rod 404 is provided with a groove 405, the outer wall of the round block 401 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 406, the inner wall of the fixed block 406 is elastically connected to a clamping block 408 via a telescopic spring 407, and the outer wall of the round block 401 is fixedly connected to a water feeding port 5.
[0023] The above scheme is adopted: the water bucket 1 can be hung on a higher bracket through the hook above it, and the water outlet pipe 3 and the water feeding port 5 are both located below the water bucket 1. The water inside the water bucket 1 can flow out to the regulating mechanism 4 through the water outlet pipe 3 under the action of gravity. The water flow rate can be adjusted by the regulating mechanism 4 to adapt to different bedridden patients. After that, the bedridden patient can hold the water feeding port 5 in his mouth to drink water. The water outlet pipe 3 is a telescopic hose that can be bent and stretched so that the bedridden patient can drink water in different postures when lying in bed; there are multiple groups of control blocks 403 on the turntable 402, and each group of control blocks 403 is provided with a different number of water outlets. By rotating the rotating rod 404, the turntable 402 can be driven to rotate so that the control blocks 403 correspond to the opening positions of the water outlet pipe 3 and the water feeding port 5. When the number of water outlets is adjusted, When the control block 403 with a smaller amount corresponds to the two openings, the water flow rate decreases, and when the control block 403 with a larger number of water outlets corresponds to the two, the water flow rate increases, so that the water flow rate can be adjusted according to the condition and physical condition of the bedridden patient; there are also multiple groups of grooves 405, corresponding to the positions of the control blocks 403. When not affected by external forces, the telescopic spring 407 drives the card block 408 to remain popped out and engaged with the groove 405 due to its own elastic force, fixing the position of the rotating rod 404 and the turntable 402, thereby fixing the control block 403 to the position of the water outlet pipe 3 and the water feeding port 5; the outer wall of the card block 408 is provided with a protrusion, which passes through the outer wall of the fixed block 406, and the card block 408 can be driven to move by toggling the protrusion.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the round block 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 3, and the rotating rod 404 passes through the outer wall of the round block 401; one end of the telescopic spring 407 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping block 408, and the other end of the telescopic spring 407 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 406; the outer wall of the clamping block 408 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 406, and the clamping block 408 is clamped with the groove 405.
[0025] The above scheme is adopted: the nursing staff can toggle the protrusion on the outer wall of the card block 408 to drive the card block 408 to move toward the inner wall of the fixed block 406, and the telescopic spring 407 is forced to shrink, so that the card block 408 is out of contact with the groove 405, and the limit of the rotating rod 404 is released, and the rotating rod 404 can be rotated to drive the turntable 402 to rotate synchronously, and the appropriate control block 403 is adjusted to correspond to the position of the opening of the water outlet pipe 3 and the water feeding port 5; after the adjustment is completed, the protrusion can be loosened, and the telescopic spring 407 causes the card block 408 to pop out outward due to its own elastic force and engage with the corresponding set of grooves 405, so that the position of the turntable 404 and the turntable 402 can be fixed, thereby the water feeding flow rate can be adjusted according to the different physical conditions of the bedridden patient, such as the speed of swallowing ability, so as to prevent the patient from choking due to excessive water flow, and thus better operate according to the actual situation of the patient, thereby improving the quality and safety of nursing.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting mechanism 2 includes a connecting block 201, the inner wall of the connecting block 201 is elastically connected to the wedge block 203 through a connecting spring 202, the inner wall of the connecting block 201 is rotatably connected to the rotating wheel 204, the outer wall of the rotating wheel 204 is wrapped with a traction rope 205, the outer wall of the connecting block 201 is fixedly connected to the handle 207, the outer wall of the handle 207 is slidably connected to the partition 206, and the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 3 is provided with a slot 6.
[0027] The above scheme is adopted: two groups of wedge blocks 203, connecting springs 202, rotating wheels 204, and traction ropes 205 are each provided, and are symmetrically distributed on the inner walls on both sides of the connecting block 201. When not affected by external forces, the connecting springs 202 keep the wedge blocks 203 engaged with the card slots 6 due to the elastic force, and the water outlet pipe 3 is fixed in the connecting block 201. The bottom of the water bucket 1 is connected to the connecting block 201 and the water outlet pipe 3. The water in the water bucket 1 can flow into the water outlet pipe 3 under the action of gravity; through the connecting mechanism 2, the water outlet pipe 3 can be disassembled and installed more conveniently and quickly for cleaning or replacement, without the need to operate by turning the bolts multiple times, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly and installation.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting block 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the bucket 1, one end of the traction rope 205 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wedge block 203, and the other end of the traction rope 205 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the partition 206; one end of the connecting spring 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wedge block 203, and the other end of the connecting spring 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 201, the outer wall of the wedge block 203 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 201, and the wedge block 203 is engaged with the slot 6.
[0029] The above solution is adopted: when the water outlet pipe 3 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the operator can hold the handle 207 and pull the partition 206 by gripping, so that the partition 206 drives one end of the traction rope 205 to move, and when the traction rope 205 moves, it is guided by the rotating wheel 204 to change the direction of its pulling force, and the other end can drive the wedge block 203 to move toward the inner wall of the connecting block 201, and the connecting spring 202 is forced to shrink, and the wedge block 203 is out of contact with the card slot 6, so that the limit of the water outlet pipe 3 can be released and the water outlet pipe 3 can be removed; and when installing the water outlet pipe 3, the top of the water outlet pipe 3 can be connected to the connecting block 201. The opening position below the connecting block 201 corresponds to the position of the opening, and the water outlet pipe 3 is inserted upward into the connecting block 201. The arc surface of the wedge block 203 contacts the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 3. Under the squeezing force of the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 3, the wedge block 203 moves to the inner wall of the connecting block 201. When the water outlet pipe 3 moves to the position corresponding to the slot 6 and the wedge block 203, the wedge block 203 pops outward under the elastic force of the connecting spring 202 and engages with the slot 6. Its straight surface contacts the inner wall of the top of the slot 6, supporting and limiting the water outlet pipe 3, and the installation can be completed. The disassembly and installation process is relatively simple and convenient to operate.
[0030] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0031] The bucket 1 is hung on a higher bracket by a hook above, and gravity is used to make water flow from the bucket 1 to the water outlet pipe 3. The water outlet pipe 3 is a telescopic hose that can be bent and stretched to facilitate bedridden patients to drink water in different postures. Due to the different physical conditions of bedridden patients, their needs for drinking water are also different. If the water flow is too large when drinking water, it may cause some bedridden patients to choke on water, and if the water flow is too small, it may cause some bedridden patients to drink water for a long and laborious process. At this time, the caregiver can adjust the water flow through the adjustment mechanism 4.
[0032] The adjusting mechanism 4 includes a round block 401, the inner wall of the round block 401 is rotatably connected to a turntable 402, the inner wall of the turntable 402 is fixedly connected to a control block 403, the outer wall of the turntable 402 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 404, the outer wall of the rotating rod 404 is provided with a groove 405, the outer wall of the round block 401 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 406, the inner wall of the fixed block 406 is elastically connected to a clamping block 408 through a telescopic spring 407, and by toggling the convex block on the outer wall of the clamping block 408, the clamping block 408 is driven to move toward the inner wall of the fixed block 406, at this time, the telescopic spring 407 is forced to contract, so that the clamping block 408 is out of contact with the groove 405, releasing the limit of the rotating rod 404, and then the rotating rod 404 is rotated, and the rotating rod 404 drives the turntable 402 to rotate synchronously , so that different control blocks 403 correspond to the opening positions of the water outlet pipe 3 and the water feeding port 5. When the control block 403 with a smaller number of water outlets corresponds to the two openings, the water flow rate decreases, and when the control block 403 with a larger number of water outlets corresponds to the two, the water flow rate increases. After the adjustment is completed, the protrusion is released, and the telescopic spring 407 causes the card block 408 to pop outward due to its own elastic force, and engages with a corresponding set of grooves 405, fixing the position of the rotating rod 404 and the turntable 402, thereby fixing the position of the control block 403 and the water outlet pipe 3 and the water feeding port 5. The water flow rate is adjusted according to the condition and physical condition of the bedridden patient to prevent the patient from choking on water, and can also speed up the drinking process of the bedridden patient, making it more comfortable, and improving the quality and safety of nursing.
[0033] When the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 3 is covered with scale after long-term use and the water outlet pipe 3 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the caregiver can hold the handle 207 and pull the partition 206 by gripping, so that the partition 206 drives one end of the traction rope 205 to move. When the traction rope 205 moves, it is guided by the turntable 204 to change the direction of tension, and the other end drives the wedge block 203 to move toward the inner wall of the connecting block 201. The connecting spring 202 is forced to shrink, and the wedge block 203 is out of contact with the slot 6. The limit of the water outlet pipe 3 is released, and the water outlet pipe 3 can be removed.
[0034] After the cleaning is completed and the water outlet pipe 3 is installed, the top of the water outlet pipe 3 is aligned with the opening position at the bottom of the connecting block 201, and the water outlet pipe 3 is inserted upward into the connecting block 201. The arc surface of the wedge block 203 contacts the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 3. Under the force of the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 3, the wedge block 203 moves to the inner wall of the connecting block 201. When the water outlet pipe 3 moves to the position corresponding to the slot 6 and the wedge block 203, the wedge block 203 pops outward under the elastic force of the connecting spring 202 and engages with the slot 6. Its straight surface contacts the inner wall of the top of the slot 6, supporting and limiting the water outlet pipe 3, and completing the installation. The entire disassembly and installation process is simple and convenient, and there is no need to disassemble and install it by turning the bolts multiple times, which improves efficiency.
