Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding devices, specifically a feeding device for newborns. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most newborns in clinical practice are primarily bottle-fed. Using bottles for breastfed newborns can easily lead to nipple confusion, resulting in a lower success rate of breastfeeding. Furthermore, long-term use of bottles and nipples can negatively impact oral development. Therefore, feeding cups or spoons are typically used for artificial feeding.

[0003] Existing feeding spoons have the following shortcomings when feeding: the amount of food fed is inaccurate, and milk is prone to dripping. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a newborn feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a newborn feeder, comprising a spoon body and a extraction mechanism, wherein:

[0006] The spoon body consists of a spoon head and a handle, with the spoon head and handle fixedly connected.

[0007] The extraction mechanism includes a hollow tube, an extraction head, and an elastic airbag. The hollow tube is disposed on the upper surface of the handle. The extraction head and the elastic airbag are respectively disposed at both ends of the hollow tube and are both connected to the interior of the hollow tube. The extraction head is located at the end of the hollow tube near the spoon head.

[0008] Preferably, the handle includes a first part and a second part, one end of the first part is fixedly connected to the spoon head, and the other end of the first part is connected to the second part through a plastic sheet.

[0009] Preferably, the first part is connected to the hollow tube body via a connecting mechanism, and the second part is fixedly connected to the hollow tube body.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a perforation formed on the first part and a fixing rod disposed on the lower outer surface of the hollow tube body. The fixing rod corresponds to the perforation, and a plastic wedge is disposed on the outer side of the lower end of the fixing rod. In the initial state, the fixing rod is separated from the perforation.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the hollow tube is provided with a scale along its length.

[0012] Preferably, the spoon body, the hollow tube of the extraction mechanism, the extraction head, and the connecting mechanism are all made of medical-grade plastic material.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The spoon body is equipped with a suction mechanism, which is composed of a hollow tube, a suction tube and an elastic air bladder. By pressing the elastic air bladder, milk is drawn out. During subsequent feeding, the elastic air bladder is pressed slowly to allow the milk to drip into the spoon head through the suction tube. The amount of milk fed at one time is controllable, which not only prevents choking but also effectively prevents milk from dripping.

[0015] 2. By making the handle of the spoon foldable and fixing the second part to the hollow tube, and connecting the first part to the hollow tube through a connecting mechanism, milk can be effectively prevented from sticking to the spoon head when drawing milk, thus preventing inaccurate feeding.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a newborn feeder, comprising a spoon body and a extraction mechanism, wherein:

[0021] The spoon body is composed of a spoon head 1 and a handle, and the spoon head 1 is fixedly connected to the handle;

[0022] The extraction mechanism includes a hollow tube 2, an extraction head 3, and an elastic airbag 4. The hollow tube 2 is disposed on the upper surface of the handle. The extraction head 3 and the elastic airbag 4 are respectively disposed at both ends of the hollow tube 2 and are both connected to the interior of the hollow tube 2.
