Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an intermittent oral feeding tube fixing and opening device according to this embodiment includes a fixing cover plate 1 and an opening device 2.

[0029] The fixing cover plate 1 has a through hole 11 in the middle of the mouth area, and at least one fixing groove 12 is provided on the side of the through hole 11. The groove opening 121 of the fixing groove 12 is constricted. The fixing groove 12 is used to hold the feeding tube (not shown in the figure). The two ends of the fixing cover plate 1 are respectively provided with ear loops 13. In this way, when it is necessary to fix the feeding tube inserted into the patient's esophagus or stomach for intermittent oral feeding, the fixing cover plate 1 can be placed at the mouth area first, so that the through hole 11 of the fixing cover plate 1 is aligned with the patient's mouth. Then, the two ear loops 13 are hung on the patient's ears to fix the fixing cover plate 1. Then the feeding tube can be inserted into the mouth through the through hole 11. After the tube is inserted into the appropriate position and successfully placed, the feeding tube can be inserted into the fixing groove 12 on one side of the through hole 11 to fix the feeding tube. The operation is simple and convenient, and the fixation effect is good and relatively aesthetically pleasing.

[0030] In order to facilitate intubation for patients who are unable to open their mouths on their own, this embodiment also provides the mouth opening device 2 for assisting in opening the mouth.

[0031] The opening device 2 includes two left and right "C"-shaped parts 21. The two "C"-shaped parts 21 are detachably connected to each other to form a hollow tubular structure with both ends connected. The opening device 2 moves through the middle through hole 11 of the fixed cover plate 1 to open the teeth auxiliary opening.

[0032] The two "C"-shaped parts 21 of the opening device 2 are also provided with limiting baffles 22 at their ends, which are located in front of the through hole 11 in the middle of the fixed cover plate 1.

[0033] With the above structure, after fixing the fixing plate 1, if the patient is unable to open their mouth, the end of the assembled mouth opener 2 without the limiting baffle 22 can be inserted into the through hole 11, extending into the patient's mouth to push open the teeth and assist the patient in opening their mouth. Then, the feeding tube can be inserted through the channel provided by the mouth opener 2. After the feeding tube is inserted into the appropriate position, the mouth opener 2 can be withdrawn. After the mouth opener 2 leaves the fixing plate 1, it can be disassembled into two "C"-shaped parts 21, that is, the side of the mouth opener 2 can be opened, making it easy and quick to remove the mouth opener 2 directly from the feeding tube to realize the tube insertion operation. The limiting baffle 22 is used to prevent the mouth opener 2 from extending too far into the patient's mouth and to facilitate the removal of the mouth opener 2.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the through hole 11 can be in the shape of an ellipse extending to the left and right, and a fixing groove 12 is provided on the left and right sides of the through hole 11, so as to facilitate the selection of a suitable fixing groove 12 as needed.

[0035] The ear loop 13 can be an elastic cord, making it easy to hook onto the patient's ear.

[0036] In this embodiment, the mouth opening device 2 includes a straight segment 23 and an arc segment 24 to adapt to the shape of the oral cavity.

[0037] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two "C"-shaped parts 21 are hinged together on one side of the straight segments 23. Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper side of the two "C"-shaped parts 21 connected by the straight segments 23 can be hinged together by an inverted "V"-shaped hinge 25. Thus, the lower side of the two "C"-shaped parts 21 can be rotated and opened and closed with the upper side of the "V"-shaped hinge 25 as the axis, realizing a detachable connection.

[0038] The other side where the straight segments 23 of the two "C"-shaped pieces 21 meet can be fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure 3 is provided on the lower side where the straight segments 23 of the two "C"-shaped pieces 21 meet. The snap-fit ​​structure 3 includes a protruding strip 31 protruding from one of the "C"-shaped pieces 21 and a snap-fit ​​plate 32 provided on the other "C"-shaped piece 21. The snap-fit ​​plate 32 extends toward the "C"-shaped piece 21 where the protruding strip 31 is located, and the snap-fit ​​plate 32 is provided with a groove 321 for the protruding strip 31 to be inserted. Thus, when the lower sides where the straight segments 23 of the two "C"-shaped pieces 21 meet are combined, the groove 321 on the snap-fit ​​plate 32 can secure the protruding strip 31, achieving a stable combination of the lower sides.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the above embodiment. The main difference is that the two "C" shaped parts 21 in this embodiment are detachably fastened together by a number of hook structures 4 provided on the connecting edge.

[0041] Specifically, the hook structure 4 includes a slot 41 provided in one of the "C"-shaped parts 21, and a hook 42 provided in the other "C"-shaped part 21. The hook 42 extends toward the "C"-shaped part 21 where the slot 41 is located, and the hook 42 is provided with a hook portion 421 that is embedded in the slot 41.

[0042] The two "C" shaped parts 21 can be stably joined together by the cooperation of the hook 42 and the slot 41.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, equivalent changes and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model should still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
