Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of straws, in particular to a disposable straw for preventing choking due to dysphagia. Background Art
[0002] Dysphagia refers to the inability to safely and effectively transport food to the stomach due to damage to the structure and / or function of organs such as the mandible, lips, tongue, soft palate, throat, and esophagus. Patients experience dysphagia during the progression of many diseases. Among these, dysphagia is common in post-stroke patients, Parkinson's disease patients, and cancer patients (such as those following laryngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, and esophageal cancer surgery), especially in the elderly. Once patients develop dysphagia, they may be at risk for aspiration, malnutrition, and lung infections, and may even experience negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, severely impacting their quality of life and increasing their disease burden.
[0003] For patients with swallowing disorders, clinical treatment mainly relies on training, such as food intake training and water drinking training. During water drinking training, patients are prone to drinking too much water at one time because it is difficult for them to grasp the amount of water they should drink at one time, which can cause choking and coughing. People have been studying how to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a disposable straw for preventing choking and coughing caused by swallowing difficulties, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A disposable straw for preventing choking and swallowing disorders comprises a water inlet section, a water outlet section and a balloon, wherein the balloon is connected to the water inlet section and the water outlet section respectively; the water inlet section is located below the balloon, the top end is connected to the balloon, and the bottom end is provided with a water absorption part, a first sphere is provided inside the position where the water absorption part and the water inlet section are connected, the inner diameter of the water absorption part is smaller than the diameter of the first sphere, and the inner diameter of the water inlet section is larger than the inner diameter of the first sphere; the water outlet section is located below the balloon, the bottom end is connected to the balloon, the top end is provided with a drinking part, the top surface of the drinking part is provided with a spoon nest, a accommodating chamber is provided at the connection position between the water outlet section and the spoon nest, the top end of the accommodating chamber is connected to the spoon nest, and the bottom end is connected to the water outlet section, a second sphere is provided in the accommodating chamber, and the diameter of the second sphere is larger than the inner diameter of the water outlet section and smaller than the diameter of the accommodating chamber.
[0007] Preferably, the water absorbing portion is arc-shaped or inclined.
[0008] Preferably, a blocking bar or a filter is provided on the top surface of the drinking portion at a position corresponding to the second sphere.
[0009] When the swallowing disorder anti-choking disposable straw of the present invention is used, the drinking water part is placed in the drinking water, and the balloon is squeezed first to squeeze the medium (air or water) in the balloon outward. During this process, the first sphere blocks the water absorption part, and the medium can only push the second sphere to enter the spoon socket. Then the balloon is released and the balloon gradually returns to its original shape. During this process, the second sphere blocks the water outlet section under the action of gravity and negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, the first sphere is attracted upward to open the water absorption part, so that the water absorption part absorbs water. Then, the balloon is squeezed twice or multiple times to lift the drinking water to the spoon socket for the patient to drink. Limited by the volume of the balloon, the drinking water lifted to the spoon socket each time will not exceed the volume of the balloon. In this way, the maximum amount of water the patient can drink at one time can be controlled, thereby preventing the patient from drinking too much water at one time and causing choking.

[0014] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0015] Example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment is a disposable straw for preventing choking and swallowing difficulties, comprising a water inlet section 1, a water outlet section 2 and a balloon 3, wherein the balloons are connected to the water inlet section and the water outlet section respectively; the water inlet section is located below the balloon, the top end is connected to the balloon, and the bottom end is provided with a water absorption part 4, a first sphere 5 is provided inside the position where the water absorption part and the water inlet section are connected, the inner diameter of the water absorption part is smaller than the diameter of the first sphere, the inner diameter of the water inlet section is larger than the inner diameter of the first sphere, and the connection position between the water absorption part and the water inlet section is preferably smooth inside. Transition; the water outlet section is located below the balloon, the bottom end is connected to the balloon, the top end is provided with a drinking part 6, the top surface of the drinking part is provided with a spoon nest 6-1, the connection position of the water outlet section and the spoon nest is provided with a accommodating chamber 6-2, the top end of the accommodating chamber is connected with the spoon nest, and the bottom end is connected with the water outlet section, a second sphere 7 is provided in the accommodating chamber, the diameter of the second sphere is larger than the inner diameter of the water outlet section and smaller than the diameter of the accommodating chamber, the connection position between the inside of the water outlet section and the accommodating chamber is preferably smoothly transitioned.
[0016] When using the aforementioned disposable straw for preventing choking and coughing due to dysphagia, the drinking portion is placed in drinking water. First, the balloon is squeezed to force the medium (air or water) inside the balloon outward. During this process, the first sphere blocks the water-absorbing portion, forcing the medium to push the second sphere open and enter the scoop cavity. The balloon is then released, and the balloon gradually returns to its original shape. During this process, gravity and negative pressure pull the second sphere upward to block the water-discharging portion. Under the action of negative pressure, the first sphere is drawn upward, opening the water-absorbing portion, allowing the scoop cavity to absorb water. The balloon is then squeezed a second or multiple times to lift the drinking water into the scoop cavity for the patient to drink. Limited by the balloon's volume, the amount of drinking water lifted to the scoop cavity each time will not exceed the balloon's capacity. This limits the maximum amount of water the patient can drink at one time, preventing choking and coughing caused by excessive drinking. Depending on the patient's actual condition, the balloon volume can generally be set to 1-5mL.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the water absorption part is arc-shaped or inclined, so that the internal passage of the water absorption part is also arc-shaped or inclined, so that the water inlet port has a certain angle with the horizontal plane, so that it is not easy to fit the bottom surface of the drinking water, preventing the water absorption part from being blocked at the bottom.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment, see Figure 3 A blocking bar 8 or a filter is provided on the top surface of the drinking water portion at a position corresponding to the second sphere to block the second sphere and prevent the second sphere from escaping from the accommodating chamber.
[0019] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
