Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeding spoon, concretely is a special feeding spoon for preventing aspiration of neurosurgery patient. BACKGROUND

[0002] Neurosurgery patients often face a high risk of aspiration during eating due to illness, such as consciousness disorders and impaired swallowing function. Ordinary feeding spoons cannot meet the special feeding needs of such patients, which can easily lead to food entering the trachea, causing serious complications such as choking, lung infection, and endangering the life and health of patients. The special feeding spoon for preventing aspiration usually adopts a shallow spoon design, which can avoid the accumulation of food in the patient's mouth caused by feeding too much food at one time, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration due to the inability to swallow in time. The wide spoon surface can make the food more evenly distributed in the spoon and make it easier for the patient to contact and sip the food with their lips, reducing the possibility of food sliding off the edge of the spoon and being aspirated into the airway.

[0003] During use, the commonly used feeding spoon can adjust the angle, but after adjusting the angle, the spoon head and handle cannot quickly return to the initial state, that is, when the handle is vertical, the spoon head can also quickly return to the vertical state, which is inconvenient to use and affects storage, occupying horizontal space. Therefore, the technical personnel in the art provide a special feeding spoon for preventing aspiration of neurosurgery patients to solve the problems raised. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a special feeding spoon for preventing aspiration of neurosurgery patients.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A special feeding spoon for preventing aspiration of neurosurgery patients, comprising a hollow handle with open ends, a spoon head rotatably mounted on one end of the handle through a rotating shaft, the rotating end of the spoon head being a regular polygonal prism, a resilient tube slidingly arranged along the inner wall of the handle, one end of the resilient tube abutting the side surface of the rotating end of the spoon head, and the other end of the resilient tube extending out of the handle, when the handle is in a vertical state, the resilient tube is pushed upward, and the spoon head rotates to remain vertical due to its own gravity.

[0007] Preferably, when the handle and the spoon head are both in a horizontal state, the mouth of the spoon head is upward, a horizontal groove is formed above the rotating end of the spoon head at one end of the handle, and when the spoon head is rotated upward to the end of the travel in the horizontal groove, the spoon head is perpendicular to the handle.

[0008] Preferably, when the handle and the spoon head are both in a horizontal state, the mouth of the spoon head is upward, a vertical plate is fixedly installed below the rotating end of the spoon head at one end of the handle, and the top of the vertical plate is in contact with the lower surface of the spoon head.

[0009] Preferably, the hollow is arranged in the elastic tube, a guide groove is arranged on the side wall of the elastic tube along the length direction of the elastic tube, a fixed plate is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the handle, the elastic tube is sleeved on the fixed plate, and a spring is arranged in the elastic tube to make the elastic tube contact the spoon head and have a tendency to move towards the spoon head.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly installed at the end of the elastic tube away from the spoon head, and the limiting plate is arranged outside the handle and perpendicular to the handle.

[0011] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0012] 1. The patient can adjust the angle of the spoon head in actual use by using force through the mouth or by feeding through the hand or by jointly using force, so that the patient in different postures is conveniently fed;

[0013] 2. When the handle is in a vertical state, the elastic tube is pushed upwards, and the spoon head rotates to keep vertical due to the gravity, so that the food in the spoon head is smoothly poured into the patient's mouth, the food is prevented from being left in the spoon head to cause aspiration, and the occupation of the transverse space is reduced when the spoon head is stored.
