[0036] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a portable enteral nutrition solution dispenser, comprising a cup body 1 with an opening at the top, a cup cover 2 provided at the top opening of the cup body 1, and a fixed connection between the cup cover 2 and the cup body 1. Specifically, a stirring component 3 is provided inside the cup body 1, and the stirring component 3 conflicts with the inner wall of the cup body 1 and the inner wall of the cup cover 2. After the cup cover 2 is connected to the cup body 1, the stirring component 3 is pressed into the inner wall of 1, thereby making it easy to carry. The cup body 1 includes an outer shell 5 with a cylindrical structure. An inner shell 6 is provided inside the outer shell 5, and the top of the inner shell 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 5, and the bottom of the inner shell 6 is connected to the bottom of the outer shell 5 through a discharge pipe 11. A heat preservation chamber 10 is formed between the outer shell 5 and the inner shell 6. By arranging the inner shell 6 and the outer shell 5, the outer shell 5 and the inner shell 6 cooperate to form the heat preservation chamber 10. By injecting hot water into the heat preservation chamber 10, the heat preservation effect of the mixing barrel 7 can be effectively increased, thereby reducing the influence of the external environment on the temperature in the mixing barrel 7, and avoiding the phenomenon of nutrient powder agglomeration due to too low temperature.
[0037] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the inner shell 6 is an hourglass-shaped structure, and the inner shell 6 includes a lower hopper 8 fixedly connected to the outer shell 5, and the bottom of the lower hopper 8 is fixedly connected to a lower feeding channel 9, and the bottom of the lower feeding channel 9 is fixedly connected to a mixing barrel 7, and the bottom of the mixing barrel 7 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 11, and a sealing plug 4 is provided inside the discharge pipe 11. The discharge pipe 11 is used to discharge the liquid in the mixing barrel 7, and the sealing plug 4 can seal the discharge pipe 11. When stirring is carried out in the mixing barrel 7, the discharge pipe 11 can be sealed by the sealing plug 4. After the stirring is completed, the sealing plug 4 is The liquid in the mixing barrel 7 can be discharged by removing the plug 4. The lower hopper 8 has a conical structure. A sealing groove 13 is provided at the connection between the top of the lower hopper 8 and the outer shell 5. The cup cover 2 can seal the top opening of the cup body 1 by cooperating with the sealing groove 13 through a sealing ring. A connecting hole 12 is provided on the inner wall of the lower hopper 8. The lower hopper 8 is connected to the insulation chamber 10 through the connecting hole 12. By setting up the lower hopper 8, its larger diameter makes it convenient to inject hot water into the insulation chamber 10, making the operation more convenient. At the same time, it can also store small packages of nutritional powder when going out, thereby increasing portability.
[0038] The mixing barrel 7 is composed of a cylindrical structure and an inverted conical structure. The cylindrical structure is located at the bottom and is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 11, and the inverted cylindrical structure is located at the top and is connected to the discharge channel 9. The top of the mixing barrel 7 is designed to have a conical structure, which can avoid splashing of liquid in the mixing barrel 7 during stirring, thereby improving stirring efficiency, and also can slow down the loss of heat in the mixing barrel 7, thereby enhancing the thermal insulation effect. The discharge channel 9 is an hourglass structure, and the top of the discharge channel 9 is smoothly connected to the bottom of the discharge hopper 8, and the bottom of the discharge channel 9 is smoothly connected to the top of the mixing barrel 7. The discharge hopper 8 is connected to the mixing barrel 7 through the discharge channel 9. By setting the mixing barrel 7, the design of the inverted conical structure on its top can effectively avoid splashing of liquid in the mixing barrel 7 during stirring, thereby improving stirring efficiency, and also can slow down the loss of heat in the mixing barrel 7, further enhancing the thermal insulation effect.
[0039] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the stirring assembly 3 includes a stirring rod 15 located inside the stirring barrel 7, and a hand-held rod 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the stirring rod 15. A sealing body 14 is sleeved on the hand-held rod 16, and the sealing body 14 is fixedly connected to the hand-held rod 16. The sealing body 14 is a spindle-shaped cylinder, and the top of the sealing body 14 is an inwardly concave curved surface. The middle diameter of the sealing body 14 is larger than the middle diameter of the discharge channel 9. The sealing body 14 is made of elastic material. By setting the sealing body 14, when hot water is injected into the heat preservation chamber 10, the sealing body 14 is placed in the discharge hopper 8 The conical structure at the bottom of the sealing body 14 guides the operator to embed the sealing body 14 into the discharge channel 9. Without applying pressure to the sealing body 14, the middle side wall of the sealing body 14 will contact the side wall of the discharge hopper 8, so that the discharge channel 9 is blocked and closed, and tangent to the edge of the connecting hole 12. After the hot water is injected into the discharge hopper 8, it will be guided by the sealing body 14 and enter the insulation chamber 10 through the connecting hole 12, and cooperate with the insulation chamber 10 to achieve the purpose of keeping the mixing barrel 7 warm. The stirring rod 15 is made of bent elastic material, and the two ends of the stirring rod 15 are folded in half and fixedly connected to the hand-held rod 16.
[0040] During stirring, external force can be used to press the sealing body 14, forcing it to deform and then pass through the discharge channel 9 into the mixing barrel 7. As the sealing body 14 moves downward, the bottom of the stirring rod 15 gradually contacts the bottom of the mixing barrel 7 and is squeezed and deformed. The contact area between the deformed stirring rod 15 and the bottom of the mixing barrel 7 increases, which can increase the stirring efficiency. At the same time, during the stirring process, the operator can apply downward pressure to the hand-held rod 16 to force the side wall of the sealing body 14 to separate from the inner wall of the discharge channel 9, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the sealing body 14 and the discharge channel 9 and further improving the stirring efficiency. After the stirring stops and the pressure on the hand-held rod 16 disappears, the stirring rod 15 drives the sealing body 14 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the discharge channel 9 and seals it, thereby slowing down the heat loss inside the mixing barrel 7 and further improving the insulation effect.
[0041] The working principle provided by the present invention is that when mixing the nutrient solution, first unscrew the cup cover 2 from the cup body 1, then put the stirring assembly 3 into the cup body 1, so that the lower half of the sealing body 14 is embedded in the feeding channel 9, the sealing body 14 closes the feeding channel, and then injects hot water for heat preservation into 8, and the hot water enters the heat preservation chamber 10 through the connecting hole 12 under the guidance of the sealing body 14. When all the hot water enters the heat preservation chamber 10, take out the stirring assembly 3 from the cup body 1, and then put the nutrient powder into the stirring barrel 7 through the feeding channel 9, and then inject a small amount of warm water into the stirring barrel 7, the water temperature is preferably 40 to 60 degrees Celsius, and then The stirring assembly 3 is put into the cup body 1 again, and the stirring rod 15 and the sealing body 14 are put into the stirring barrel 7 one by one by pressing the hand-held rod 16, and then a downward pressing force is applied to the hand-held rod 16. At the same time, the hand-held rod 16 is rotated to separate the sealing body 14 from the inner wall of the stirring barrel 7, and drive the stirring rod 15 to rotate, stirring the nutrient powder into a uniform solution, and then continue to inject an appropriate amount of warm water and stir it evenly again to complete the nutrient solution mixing. After the nutrient solution mixing is completed, use the cup cover 2 to seal the upper end opening of the cup body 1, and then use the buckle to remove the sealing plug 4 from the discharge pipe 11, and then pour out the mixed nutrient solution in the stirring barrel 7 for use.
[0042] After the nutrient solution is prepared, the cup body 1 is turned upside down, and the used hot water in the heat preservation chamber 10 will be discharged from the connecting hole 12 for next use.

To provide a thorough understanding of this invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments of this invention, but those skilled in the art will be able to fully understand this invention without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.
[0044] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
