[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] The embodiment of the utility model discloses a Chinese medicine decoction auxiliary drinking device.
[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 The Chinese medicine decoction drinking auxiliary device includes a silicone straw 1. A pleated tube 2 is provided at the upper end of the silicone straw 1. The pleated tube 2 is convenient for the silicone straw 1 to bend. A baffle 3 is provided at the upper end of the silicone straw 1 and located on the upper side of the pleated tube 2. The top end of the silicone straw 1 is connected to and fixedly installed with a membranous silicone sleeve 4. A filter plate 3 is fixedly provided on the bottom inner wall of the silicone straw 1. When in use, the baffle 3 can effectively prevent the membranous silicone sleeve 4 from extending into a deeper position of the oral cavity when children and elderly patients use it, thereby causing discomfort. A filter plate 3 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the silicone straw 1 to filter the medicinal residue, but the medicinal residue is easy to accumulate, causing the silicone straw 1 to be blocked. Therefore, a slag discharge component 5 is set at the bottom of the silicone straw 1 to solve this problem.
[0028] The bottom of the silicone straw 1 is equipped with a slag discharge component 5, and the surface of the slag discharge component 5 is equipped with a filter screen 6; the slag discharge component 5 is entirely mounted on the bottom of the silicone straw 1, and the filter screen 6 on the surface of the slag discharge component 5 can filter the medicinal residue, and the larger area of the filter screen 6 is not easy to be blocked, and the filter plate 3 can filter the medicinal residue of the medicinal liquid in the slag discharge component 5.
[0029] The middle section of the silicone straw 1 is provided with a temperature detection component 7 ; the temperature of the medicine is monitored by the temperature detection component 7 to prevent the temperature of the medicine from being too high or too low.
[0030] Reference Figure 2The slag discharge component 5 includes a mounting plate 51, which is fixedly mounted on the outside of the silicone straw 1. A plurality of support frames 52 are evenly fixed on the bottom of the mounting plate 51, and the other end of the support frame 52 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 53. A silicone pad 54 is adhered to the bottom of the base plate 53, which can ensure that the bottom of the slag discharge component 5 fits the bottom of the cup body.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 The temperature detection component 7 includes a buckle 71, which is detachably connected to the outside of the silicone straw 1. A temperature sensor 72 is fixed on the outer surface of the buckle 71. The temperature sensor 72 is electrically connected to a temperature display 74 through a wire 73. The temperature display 74 displays the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 72. A hook 75 is fixedly installed on the back of the temperature sensor 72. When in use, the temperature sensor 72 is clamped on the outside of the silicone straw 1 through the buckle 71, and the temperature display 74 is hung on the wall of the cup through the hook 75. The temperature display 74 displays the temperature of the medicine detected by the temperature sensor 72.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 The outer diameter of the silicone straw 1 is 5 to 10 mm, and the length of the silicone straw 1 is 90 to 200 mm.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 The opening of the membranous silicone sleeve 4 is made of a silicone membrane structure, which can be directly attached to the tongue and the surface of the oral cavity, covering the tongue and 2 / 3 of the taste bud area of the oral cavity, so that the liquid medicine passes through the oral cavity with less contact area with the tongue.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 The opening of the membrane-like silicone sleeve 4 is a flat opening or an oblique opening with an inclination of 30 to 60 degrees.
[0035] In the present invention, when in use, the operator clips the temperature sensor 72 onto the outside of the silicone straw 1 through the buckle 71, and then hangs the temperature display 74 on the cup wall through the hook 75, and inserts the silicone straw 1 into the medicine cup containing Chinese medicine. At this time, the temperature display 74 displays the temperature of the medicine liquid monitored by the temperature sensor 72; the silicone straw 1 can be bent to a certain extent by the pleated tube 2, so that it is convenient for the patient to put the membrane silicone sleeve 4 into the mouth. At this time, the baffle 3 can effectively prevent the membrane silicone sleeve 4 from extending deeper into the patient's mouth, and the membrane silicone sleeve 4 can be directly attached to the tongue and oral cavity. The surface can cover the tongue and 2 / 3 of the taste buds in the mouth, so that the liquid medicine can pass through the mouth to reduce the contact area between the liquid medicine and the tongue, which can reduce the contact area between the liquid medicine and the mouth and tongue, increase the patient's compliance with the medicine, but does not affect the efficacy and safety of the medicine; at the same time, in the process of absorbing the liquid medicine, the residue discharge component 5 is integrally mounted on the bottom of the silicone straw 1, and the filter screen 6 on the surface of the residue discharge component 5 can filter the residue, and the larger area of the filter screen 6 is not easy to be blocked, and the filter plate 3 can filter the residue of the liquid medicine in the residue discharge component 5, so that the patient is not easy to inhale the residue, providing the patient with a more comfortable and reassuring medication experience.
[0036] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
