Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment, and in particular to a convenient patient feeding aid device. Background Technology

[0002] For patients with eating difficulties or problems, nursing staff need to assist with feeding. Traditionally, nursing staff hold a spoon and use it to feed easily digestible liquid food into the patient's mouth. However, because patients are often unconscious during illness, they may resist during the feeding process, causing liquid food to spill onto their clothes and bedding, making it difficult for nursing staff to clean up.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219398251U, which discloses an auxiliary feeding device. The device includes a placement base and an auxiliary feeding structure. The auxiliary feeding structure is mounted on the placement base and includes a heat-insulating heating component, a squeezing feeding component, and a liquid food conveying component. The key features are: the heat-insulating heating component includes a storage box containing an electric heating rod and a temperature sensor; the liquid food conveying component includes a flow pump and a conveying pipe; the flow pump is located at the bottom of the storage box; the conveying pipe connects to the squeezing feeding component; the squeezing feeding component includes a transfer box, smaller in volume than the storage box, connected to the conveying pipe; a pressure ball is mounted on the top cover of the transfer box via a conduit extending into the transfer box; a flow guide is located at the bottom of the transfer box; and a second one-way valve and a first one-way valve are respectively installed on the flow guide and the conveying pipe. This device maintains the food temperature, preventing it from becoming too cold, and enables quantitative feeding.

[0004] While the above-mentioned technical solutions can maintain the temperature of food and prevent it from getting too cold, they cannot break down liquid food. Larger particles inside the liquid food cannot be swallowed directly, making it inconvenient for patients to eat.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a convenient patient feeding aid device, comprising a mounting plate 1 and a storage bottle 2. A support block 102 is connected to one side of the mounting plate 1, and a placement plate 103 is connected to the other end of the support block 102. The surface of the placement plate 103 has a placement groove that matches the storage bottle 2. The storage bottle 2 is installed inside the placement groove. Through the coordinated use of the mounting plate 1, support block 102, placement plate 103, and placement groove, medical personnel or nurses can easily install the storage bottle 2, allowing it to be installed in different positions for convenient patient consumption of liquid food. A feeding pipe 3 is connected to the top of the storage bottle 2, and a feeding funnel 301 is connected to the top of the feeding pipe 3. A sieve 304 is connected to the bottom of the feeding pipe 3. The heart part is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 302. Multiple sets of crushing blades 303 are installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 302. The other end of the rotating shaft 302 extends to the outside of the feed tube 3 and is connected to a connecting block 305. A micro motor is installed inside the connecting block 305 and is connected to the rotating shaft 302. Through the coordinated use of the feed tube 3, feed funnel 301, rotating shaft 302, crushing blades 303, connecting block 305 and micro motor, the liquid food inside the feed tube 3 can be crushed and ground, effectively reducing the size of particles, thereby avoiding the problem of choking during the patient's consumption, making it convenient for the patient to consume the liquid food, and ensuring the patient's eating safety. The bottom of the storage bottle 2 is connected to a discharge funnel 203, and the bottom of the discharge funnel 203 is connected to the feeding tube 4.

[0031] Reference Figure 2-3 The storage bottle 2 has a stabilizing base 202 installed on top, and the bottom of the feed tube 3 is installed inside the stabilizing base 202. The stabilizing base 202 facilitates the installation of the feed tube 3, which can improve the stability of the feed tube 3 when crushing and grinding liquid food and prevent the feed tube 3 from shaking. The top of the connecting block 305 has a control button 306 installed, and a power interface 307 is opened on one side of the control button 306. The control button 306 and the power interface 307 facilitate the control of the device, which is beneficial for medical staff and nurses to use the device. Multiple sets of heating blocks 201 are evenly distributed inside the storage bottle 2. The control button 306 and the power interface 307 are connected to the multiple sets of heating blocks 201 and the micro motor. The multiple sets of heating blocks 201 can heat and keep the liquid food inside the storage bottle 2 warm, ensuring the temperature of the liquid food.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-3The feeding tube 4 is internally connected to a pressure tube 401. One side of the pressure tube 401 is connected to a one-way valve 402, and the other side of the pressure tube 401 is connected to a connecting tube 403. The other end of the connecting tube 403 is connected to a pressure ball 404. The one-way valve 402 is set so that gas can only enter the pressure tube 401 and cannot be discharged. By pressing the pressure ball 404, gas is allowed to pass through the connecting tube 403 and enter the pressure tube 401. The gas will squeeze the liquid food inside the feeding tube 4 and the pressure tube 401, thereby controlling the feeding speed and making it easier for the patient to eat the liquid food.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The mounting plate 1 has multiple sets of mounting holes 101 inside. The top of the placement plate 103 is connected to a clamping block 104. The top of the storage bottle 2 is clamped inside the clamping block 104. The mounting plate 1 is easy to install through the multiple sets of mounting holes 101, and the storage bottle 2 is easy to install in a suitable position, which is beneficial for patients to consume. The clamping block 104 can improve the fixing effect of the storage bottle 2 and prevent the storage bottle 2 from shaking during consumption.

[0034] Working principle: When in use, connect the power cord to the power interface 307, install the mounting plate 1 in a suitable position, and then pour the liquid food into the inside of the feeding tube 3 through the feeding funnel 301. Start the micro motor inside the connecting block 305 by controlling the button 306. The micro motor drives the rotating shaft 302 and the crushing blade 303 to rotate, crushing and grinding the liquid food. After crushing and grinding, the liquid food passes through the sieve 304 and enters the inside of the storage bottle 2. Start the heating block 201 to heat and keep the liquid food in the storage bottle 2 warm, ensuring the temperature of the liquid food. After the liquid food passes through the discharge funnel 203, it enters the inside of the feeding tube 4 and is then introduced into the patient's body through the feeding tube 4.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
