The extension tube is connected with a stomach tube at one end, and is only suitable for connecting a stomach tube with a caliber of 10F and below. The small caliber stomach tube has a small tube diameter, and milk pieces and precipitates cannot pass through, which often leads to poor feeding and blockage. In addition, the syringe piston needs to be pulled out, and then the liquid is poured into the syringe before being connected with the extension tube. Since there is no extension tube clamp, the exhaust process will cause liquid waste. If the nasal feeding amount of the child is large, the liquid pouring action needs to be repeated, which is complicated to operate. The liquid is exposed to the air for a long time, which easily leads to pollution and increases the risk of gastrointestinal reaction of the child. In addition, the liquid flow rate cannot be controlled, which leads to feeding discomfort or vomiting of the child.

The connecting head 300 is arranged between the exhaust structure 400 and the extension tube 200, and can meet the connection of more types of stomach tubes. If the stomach tube is greater than 10F, the connecting head 300 can be removed from the extension tube 200, and then the extension tube 200 is directly connected to the stomach tube; if the stomach tube is less than or equal to 10F, the connecting head 300 can be directly connected to the stomach tube. The top of the extension tube 200 is in communication with the liquid graduated cylinder 100, and all the liquid can be poured into the liquid graduated cylinder 100 at one time, thereby reducing the operation times, reducing the pollution rate of the liquid, and improving the work efficiency of the staff. The extension tube 200 is provided with the speed regulating structure 500, which can meet the individual needs of the children, so that the liquid drop speed is uniform and appropriate, and the liquid is prevented from entering the gastrointestinal tract in a short time, and the children are prevented from having symptoms such as feeding discomfort or vomiting.
