Specific implementation

[0042] The embodiment of the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the utility model, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0043] Example one:

[0044] As shown in the accompanying Figure 1 To the accompanying Figure 5 As shown:

[0045] The utility model provides a kind of dysphagia patient auxiliary feeding device with anti-choking structure, including handle 1;

[0046] Fixed box 2, fixed box 2 is fixedly connected at the right side of handle 1;

[0047] Transmission box 3, transmission box 3 is fixedly connected at the front of fixed box 2;

[0048] Connecting piece 4, connecting piece 4 is arranged at the left side of handle 1;

[0049] Connecting handle 5, connecting handle 5 ball head is connected at the left side of connecting piece 4;

[0050] Spoon body 6, spoon body 6 is fixedly connected at the left side of connecting handle 5;

[0051] Connecting shaft 7, connecting shaft 7 is rotatably connected in fixed box 2 interior;

[0052] Knob 701, knob 701 coaxially fixedly connected at the rear end of connecting shaft 7;

[0053] The stepless adjusting assembly is arranged inside the fixed box 2.

[0054] The stepless adjusting assembly comprises:

[0055] The winding roller 8 is coaxially fixedly connected outside the connecting shaft 7.

[0056] The auxiliary fixing belt 9 is fixedly connected at the inner end outside the winding roller 8 and fixedly connected at the outer end on the upper surface of the handle 1.

[0057] The stepless adjusting assembly further comprises:

[0058] The limiting ratchet wheel 702 is coaxially fixedly connected at the front end of the connecting shaft 7.

[0059] The limiting ratchet pawl 11 is rotationally connected inside the transmission box 3 and engaged with the limiting ratchet wheel 702.

[0060] The stepless adjusting assembly further comprises:

[0061] The volute spring 10 is fixedly connected at the inner end outside the connecting shaft 7 and fixedly connected at the outer end inside the fixed box 2.

[0062] The reset spring 1101 is fixedly connected at the left end inside the transmission box 3 and fixedly connected at the right end on the upper end of the limiting ratchet pawl 11.

[0063] The specific use mode and effect of the embodiment are as follows:

[0064] When using the device, the patient inserts four fingers (excluding the thumb) through the gap between the grip 1 and the auxiliary fixing strap 9, then rotates the knob 701 to rotate the connecting shaft 7 and the winding roller 8. This causes the auxiliary fixing strap 9 to wrap around the winding roller 8, and as the knob 701 rotates, the gap between the grip 1 and the auxiliary fixing strap 9 narrows, allowing the user's hand to grip the grip 1 firmly. Under the action of the ratchet-pawl transmission mechanism formed by the engagement of the limiting pawl 11 and the limiting ratchet 702, the connecting shaft 7 can only rotate in one direction. The movement allows the auxiliary fixing belt 9 to be tightly wrapped around the outside of the winding roller 8 without loosening, resulting in a more delicate adjustment range. When the auxiliary fixing belt 9 tightens, the connecting shaft 7 will drive the spiral spring 10 to tighten synchronously. After the patient finishes eating, the upper end of the limiting pawl 11 can be moved to the left to disengage the limiting pawl 11 from the limiting ratchet 702, thereby causing the spiral spring 10 to rebound and the auxiliary fixing belt 9 to loosen. The user can easily take their palm out of the gap between the handle 1 and the auxiliary fixing belt 9, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0065] Example 2:

[0066] Based on Example 1, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an anti-choking replacement component, which is located on the left side of the grip 1.

[0067] The anti-choking replacement component includes:

[0068] Multiple holes 601 are provided and distributed inside the spoon body 6. The purpose of these multiple holes 601 is that when the user uses the spoon body 6 to scoop up food with soup, most of the soup can be drained through the holes 601, preventing the user from choking on food containing too much soup.

[0069] The anti-choking replacement component also includes:

[0070] Threaded post 401 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the left side of connector 4;

[0071] The threaded opening 101 is located inside the left end of the handle 1. Its function is to allow the connecting handle 5 and the spoon body 6 to be easily removed from the left side of the handle 1 through the threaded engagement of the threaded post 401 and the threaded opening 101. This makes it convenient to replace the spoon body 6 without the leakage hole 601 for use with porridge and soup, or to replace forks and other utensils.

[0072] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0073] Under the action of the plurality of leakage holes 601, when the user uses the spoon body 6 to dig the dishes with soup, most of the soup can leak from the leakage holes 601, so that the dishes with too much soup are avoided from being inhaled by the user when the user eats the dishes; through the threaded cooperation of the threaded column 401 and the threaded opening 101, the connecting handle 5 and the spoon body 6 can be conveniently detached from the left side of the handle 1, so that the spoon body 6 without the leakage holes 601 is conveniently replaced to use porridge and soup food, or a fork and other tableware is replaced.
