[0024] The technical scheme in the utility model embodiment will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings, and obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the utility model embodiment, not all the embodiment.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1-4 , discloses a feeding device for volume-viscosity swallowing test, which can be used for volume-viscosity swallowing test of a patient with dysphagia in a clinic.

[0026] In the disclosure embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the feeding device for volume-viscosity swallowing test comprises a groove body 100, a piston body 200 and a handle 300. The groove body 100 is provided with a linearly extending U-shaped groove 101, one end of the groove body 100 is provided with a blocking portion 102 for closing one end of the groove 101, and the two sides of the opening direction of the groove 101 are respectively provided with inwardly extending blocking edges 103, and the blocking edges 103 are arranged along the length direction of the groove 101; the piston body 200 is embedded in the groove 101, the outer side wall of the piston body 200 is fitted with the inner side wall of the groove 101, and the blocking edges 103 are fitted with the upper side of the piston body 200; the handle 300 is provided at one end on the groove body 100 or the piston body 200, and the other end extends away from the blocking portion 102, specifically, the handle 300 is provided on the piston body 200 and connected to the end portion at one end of the piston body 200 away from the blocking portion 102.

[0027] The piston body 200 can slide along the length direction of the groove 101 to adjust the direction of approaching or moving away from the blocking portion 102, so as to realize the capacity adjustment of the groove 101, and the blocking edges 103 cooperate with the inner side wall of the groove 101 to form a limit for the piston body 200. When feeding the thickening agent to the patient with swallowing disorder in clinic, the capacity of the groove 101 is adjusted according to the requirement in advance, then the handle 300 of the feeding device for volume-viscosity swallowing test is held by the medical staff or other operators, and then the thickening agent is put into the groove 101 (or the thickening agent is directly picked up by the groove body 100) for feeding the patient.

[0028] Through the observation of the swallowing process of the patient, whether the patient has swallowing disorder can be evaluated.

[0029] It is worth noting that the feeding device for volume-viscosity swallowing test has simple structure and is easy to clean even in the combined state. The piston body 200 can slide out of the groove 101 through the direction of one end away from the blocking portion 102, and then the feeding device for volume-viscosity swallowing test can be conveniently cleaned without dead angle.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, to ensure the accuracy of the assessment, firstly, the upper side of the retaining edge 103 is provided with scale markings 104 arranged along the length of the retaining edge 103. These markings 104 can be used to mark the capacity of the groove 101 corresponding to the sliding position of the piston body 200, thus improving the accuracy and convenience of capacity adjustment. For example, to adjust to a capacity of 3ml, 5ml, or 10ml, simply slide the piston body 200 to the corresponding scale marking 104 position. Secondly, an electronic timer 301 is further provided on the handle 300. This timer can have display and memory storage functions. The operation module 302 of the timer is also located on the handle 300, facilitating operation by the fingers holding the handle 300. For example, the control button for starting and stopping the electronic timer 301 can be placed in an easily accessible location on the handle 300, allowing for convenient timing of the patient's swallowing process from the start to the end of swallowing. One person can easily operate the device, saving costs and manpower, improving operational accuracy, and increasing work efficiency.

[0031] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a limiting part 201 is provided on the upper side of the piston body 200, one on each side near the flange 103. The limiting part 201 is provided with a U-shaped groove 202 with an opening facing downwards. One side of the limiting part 201 is connected to the piston body 200, and the other side extends towards the adjacent flange 103. The groove 202 is nested on the flange 103 and slides with the flange 103, allowing the flange 103 to slide within the groove 202. The groove body 100 is a thin-walled shell structure. However, the characteristic of a thin-walled shell structure is relatively low structural strength. During long-term use, the periphery of the groove 101 (especially the two sides of the groove 101) is prone to deformation away from the piston body 200. However, the groove 202 of the limiting part 201 can firmly maintain the upper part of the groove 101 (the upper edge of the groove body 100 and the flange 103) on the side of the piston body 200, ensuring long-term reliability.

[0032] In this embodiment, a recess 105 arranged along the length direction of the retaining edge 103 is provided on the side opposite to another retaining edge 103. An elastic connecting device 203 is provided on the piston body 200. For example, the elastic connecting device 203 can be directly connected to the piston body 200 or connected to the limiting part 201 of the piston body 200. A positioning part 205 is provided on the elastic connecting device 203, and one side of the positioning part 205 can be partially embedded in the recess 105. The elastic connecting device 203 can drive the positioning part 205 to maintain its embedded position in the recess 101. The recess 105 and the positioning part 205 cooperate to form a constraint on the sliding direction of the piston body 200, preventing the piston body 200 from unnecessarily sliding accidentally.

[0033] To facilitate curvature adjustment and positioning, the recess 105 is arc-shaped, and the positioning part 205 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 206 directly opposite the recess 105; wherein, the elastic connecting device 203 is a spring plate 204, one end of the spring plate 204 is connected to the limiting part 201 of the piston body 200, and the other end is connected to the positioning part 205.

[0034] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 and 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the flow of thickener from the groove 101, the side of the baffle 102 near the piston body 200 is inclined, and the distance between the side of the baffle 102 near the bottom of the groove 101 and the piston body 200 is smaller than the distance between the side of the baffle 102 near the opening of the groove 101 and the piston body 200.

[0035] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 208 is provided on the piston body 200, and the sealing ring 208 is disposed between the piston body 200 and the inner sidewall of the groove 101. The piston body 200 has a stepped groove 207 surrounding it at its front end, and the sealing ring 208 is bonded and fixed to the stepped groove 207.

[0036] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the baffle 102 has a flat, sloping structure.

[0037] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the stop 102 has an outwardly convex arc structure, which has the advantage of enhancing the patient's comfort when the stop 102 comes into contact with the patient's mouth.

[0038] In summary, this volumetric-viscosity swallowing test feeder boasts advantages such as convenient adjustment and easy cleaning, high applicability, and high safety. It is worth noting that, in addition to its use in clinical volumetric-viscosity swallowing tests for patients with swallowing disorders, this feeder can also be adapted for use in kitchen utensils capable of quantitatively picking up condiments, or as a milk powder scoop, etc., with modifications to its size and specifications.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
