[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 7As shown, a dysphagia feeder comprises a feeding assembly, an adjusting assembly and a storage assembly, characterized in that: the feeding assembly comprises a feeding spoon 1, a middle part of the feeding spoon 1 is provided with an adjusting sheet 2 to divide the feeding spoon 1 into a feeding area 3 and an adjusting area 4, a side end of the feeding spoon 1 is provided with a spoon handle 5, an injection pipe 6 and an adjusting pipe 7 are arranged inside the spoon handle 5, a fixing plate 8 is arranged at the end of the spoon handle 5, the adjusting assembly comprises an adjusting piston mechanism 9 arranged on the lower side of the fixing plate 8, the storage assembly comprises a connecting groove 10, a heat preservation sleeve 11 and an elastic binding sleeve 12 arranged on the upper side of the fixing plate 8 from left to right, and an injection piston mechanism 13 is detachably arranged inside the elastic binding sleeve 12.

[0030] The adjusting sheet 2 is made of medical high-temperature-resistant elastic silica gel sheet, so as to avoid damage of feeding articles at 20-37℃ to the adjusting sheet 2, and the edge of the adjusting sheet 2 is tightly connected with the inner wall of the feeding spoon 1 to form a sealed cavity between the lower end of the adjusting sheet 2 and the cavity of the feeding spoon 1, so as to ensure that the gas generated during the operation of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 cannot be leaked and the adjusting sheet 2 can be lifted or adsorbed to change the size of the feeding area 3 at the upper end of the adjusting sheet 2 and further change the volume of a mouthful.

[0031] The injection pipe 6 is located above the feeding area 3, so that the food transmitted by the injection pipe 6 can flow into the feeding area 3, the adjusting pipe 7 is located inside the adjusting area 4, so that the adjusting gas of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 can be input into the adjusting area 4 to drive the adjusting sheet 2 to deform and further change the size of the feeding area 3, the injection pipe 6 is provided with an S-shaped bending close to the side of the feeding area 3, and the end of the injection pipe 6 forms an angle of 15-30° with the inner wall of the feeding spoon 1 of the feeding area 3. The outflow of the food is increased by some resistance, and the food flows along the inner wall of the feeding spoon 1, so as to avoid splashing of the food when injected into the feeding spoon 1 and spouting out of the feeding spoon 1.

[0032] The main body structure of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 and the injection piston mechanism 13 is the same, both comprising a piston pipe 91, a piston 92 slidingly arranged inside the piston pipe 91 and an output pipe 93 arranged at the side end of the piston pipe 91, the output pipe 93 of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 is fixedly connected with the end of the adjusting pipe 7, and the output pipe 93 of the injection piston mechanism 13 is detachably connected with a connecting pipe 101. The main body structure of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 and the injection piston mechanism 13 is the same as the existing structure of a syringe, both through pulling the piston to generate negative pressure in the pipe to suck external substances into the pipe and push the piston to discharge the substances in the pipe outward, the airflow generated by the push-pull of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 can reach the adjusting area 4 through the fixed connection between the output pipe 93 and the adjusting pipe 7, and the substances generated by the push of the injection piston mechanism 13 can enter the feeding area 3 through the connecting pipe 101→the injection pipe 6 through the clamping of the output pipe 93 and the connecting pipe 101.

[0033] The piston pipe 91 is made of transparent material; the surface of the piston pipe 91 is provided with a scale. The feeding material remaining in the piston pipe 91 of the injection piston mechanism 13 can be directly observed, and the specific volume of one mouthful can be directly connected through the scale.

[0034] The adjusting piston mechanism 9 further comprises a restraint rack 94 arranged at the lower side edge of the fixed plate 8; the end of the piston 92 of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 is provided with a protrusion 95 matched with the restraint rack 94. The piston 92 of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 can be limited, so as to avoid being squeezed to the adjusting sheet 2 during feeding. After the adjusting sheet 2 is deformed, the adjusting area 4 is compressed, so that the adjusting area 4 is discharged outward, and then the piston 92 is pushed outward, so that the volume of the feeding area 3 is changed, and the feeding is affected.

[0035] The middle part of the connecting groove 10 is provided with a communication pipe 101 matched with the output pipe 93 in size, the end of the communication pipe 101 is fixedly connected with the feeding pipe 6, and the inside of the communication pipe 101 is provided with a sealing ring 102. After the output pipe 93 is installed into the communication pipe 101, the output pipe 93 extrudes the sealing ring 102 to form a seal. The output pipe 93 cannot be used to feed the material along the communication pipe 101 to the feeding area 3 during the feeding process.

[0036] The heat preservation sleeve 11 adopts an existing constant temperature heating sleeve of 25-35℃; specifically, a constant temperature heating sleeve such as an existing milk bottle heating sleeve is adopted to meet the temperature requirement; the size of the heat preservation sleeve 11 is matched with the size of the piston pipe 91 of the injection piston mechanism 13, so that the inner wall of the heat preservation sleeve 11 can tightly adhere to the piston pipe 91. As known from the heat conduction property, the heat conduction efficiency of the medium is greater than that of the air. Therefore, the adhesion heat conduction improves the heat transfer efficiency, and avoids the reduction of the heat conduction efficiency caused by the cavity.

[0037] The elastic restraint sleeve 12 is a U-shaped ring sleeve made of an elastic band; the inner diameter of the elastic restraint sleeve 12 in the natural state is smaller than the outer diameter of the piston pipe 91 of the injection piston mechanism 13. The disassembled injection piston mechanism 13 can be restrained, so as to avoid the shaking of the injection piston mechanism 13 and affect the use.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Working principle: when using the device, first remove the injection piston mechanism 13, then place the output pipe 93 of the injection piston mechanism 13 into the container containing the feeding material, pull the piston 92 to suck the feeding material into the piston pipe 91, observe the scale position corresponding to the bottom surface of the piston 92 during the suction process, stop the suction when the total amount of single feeding scale is reached, at this time, pull the elastic restraint sleeve 12 and insert the injection piston mechanism 13 into the inside of the elastic restraint sleeve 12, at the same time, place the output pipe 93 into the communication pipe 101 during the insertion process to ensure that the feeding material can enter the communication pipe 101 in the subsequent process, then push the piston 92 of the injection piston mechanism 13 to push a certain amount (full feeding area 3) of feeding material into the feeding spoon 1, and then feed, adjust the capacity of the feeding area during feeding according to the residual amount;

[0040] When there is residual in the feeding area 3 or the patient's mouth overflows, it means that the single feeding is too much, at this time, push the piston 92 of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 to move inward to inflate the adjusting area 4, so that the adjusting sheet 2 expands upward to reduce the capacity of the feeding area 3, during this process, adjust and feed at the same time, stop adjusting when there is no residual in the feeding area 3 and the patient completely swallows, at this time, rotate the piston 92 of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 to lock the protrusion 95 into the restraint rack 94 to prevent the piston 92 from moving outward, the capacity of the feeding area 3 at this time is the volume of the patient's mouthful;

[0041] When there is no residual in the feeding area 3 and the patient's mouth does not overflow, it means that the single feeding is too little or just right, at this time, push the piston 92 of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 to move outward to deflate the adjusting area 4, so that the adjusting sheet 2 retracts downward to increase the capacity of the feeding area 3, during this process, adjust and feed at the same time, stop adjusting when there is residual in the feeding area 3 or the patient cannot completely swallow, at this time, push the piston 92 of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 to move inward to inflate the adjusting area 4, so that the adjusting sheet 2 expands upward to reduce the capacity of the feeding area 3, during this process, adjust and feed at the same time, stop adjusting when there is no residual in the feeding area 3 and the patient completely swallows, at this time, rotate the piston 92 of the adjusting piston mechanism 9 to lock the protrusion 95 into the restraint rack 94 to prevent the piston 92 from moving outward, the capacity of the feeding area 3 at this time is the volume of the patient's mouthful; At this time, record the change of the scale on the piston pipe 91 when the feeding area 3 is full, and the specific volume of the mouthful can be obtained.
