Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a medication feeder, specifically a medication feeder for mental patients, and belongs to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology

[0002] When taking medication, patients with mental illness often lack insight, making it difficult for them to correctly understand their condition or to acknowledge their illness, which leads them to refuse medication treatment. They may also experience adverse effects from medication (such as dizziness, weakness, drowsiness, etc.), which may affect their medication adherence. Furthermore, patients with treatment-resistant mental illness may refuse medication due to a loss of confidence in the treatment plan.

[0003] In clinical psychiatric nursing, medications are typically delivered into the patient's mouth via a feeding tube, replacing the traditional spoon method which easily spills medication. This method facilitates clinical care and improves medication efficacy. However, due to patient resistance, it is difficult to keep the dispensing nozzle of the feeding tube in the patient's mouth throughout the medication administration process, which can easily lead to medication spillage, making clinical care more difficult and reducing the effectiveness of medication. To address these issues, we have developed a medication feeder for psychiatric patients. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a medication feeder for mental patients, with the specific technical solution as follows:

[0005] A medication feeder for mental patients includes a medication tube with a dispensing port at one end. The outer surface of the dispensing port is in close contact with a protective sleeve. Fixing posts are installed on both sides of the protective sleeve. The protective sleeve is rotatably connected to two fixing straps through the fixing posts. One of the fixing straps has a Velcro front side installed on its outer surface, and the other fixing strap has a Velcro back side installed on its outer surface.

[0006] Preferably, a rubber sleeve is installed at one end of the drug outlet located outside the drug injection tube, and an oblique opening is provided at the other end of the rubber sleeve. The other end of the drug outlet is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the drug injection tube.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing bracket is installed on the outer surface of the injection tube, and the outer surface of the fixing bracket is fixedly installed to the outer surface of the sheath.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the injection tube is in close contact with a sliding cylinder, and the bottom surface of the sliding cylinder has a circular opening.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing cap is installed at the other end of the injection tube. The sealing cap is fixed to the outer surface of the injection tube by bolts. The outer surface of the sealing cap is fixedly installed to the outer surface of the slide tube. A first one-way valve is installed inside the sealing cap.

[0010] Preferably, a rubber stopper is installed inside the slide cylinder, a second one-way valve is installed inside the rubber stopper, a push rod is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rubber stopper, the outer surface of the push rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing cover, and a push plate is installed at the other end of the push rod.

[0011] Preferably, a retaining ring is installed on the outer surface of the injection tube, and a handle ring is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the retaining ring.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This medication delivery device for mental patients works by using a combination of a medication tube, a dispensing port, a protective sleeve, a fixing post, a fixing strap, a Velcro front, a Velcro back, and a rubber sleeve. During use, the medication is dispensed through the injection tube from the dispensing port. The rubber sleeve is then inserted into the patient's mouth, and the protective sleeve is fitted to the patient's mouth. The fixing strap is then rotated, pulling the two straps from both sides of the patient's head towards the back of the neck. The Velcro front and back adhere to each other, securing the strap firmly to the patient's body. This, in turn, ensures the protective sleeve fits snugly against the patient's mouth, preventing medication from spraying out or spilling onto the ground during administration. This effectively reduces medication waste, facilitates clinical care, and improves medication efficacy.

[0014] 2. This medication feeder for mental patients works by connecting the dispensing port with a rubber sleeve. When in use, the rubber sleeve has an angled opening at one end. After the medication flows through the dispensing port, it flows out through the opening on the rubber sleeve, preventing the medication from flowing directly into the patient's throat. This reduces the risk of choking and protects the patient's safety, making the device more practical. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 5 The system includes an injection tube 1, with a drug outlet 2 at one end. A rubber sleeve 8 is installed at the end of the drug outlet 2 outside the injection tube 1, and the other end of the rubber sleeve 8 has an angled opening. The other end of the drug outlet 2 is threaded to the inner wall of the injection tube 1. A fixing bracket 19 is installed on the outer surface of the injection tube 1, and the outer surface of the fixing bracket 19 is fixedly installed to the outer surface of the protective sleeve 3. A sealing cap 11 is installed at the other end of the injection tube 1, and the sealing cap 11 is fixed to the outer surface of the injection tube 1 by bolts. The outer surface of the sealing cap 11 is fixedly installed to the outer surface of the slide cylinder 9. A first one-way valve 12 is installed inside the sealing cap 11. During use, the sealing cap 11 seals the space inside the injection tube 1, allowing the medication to move inside the injection tube 1 under internal pressure. Simultaneously, due to the internal negative pressure, the medication will not spill out of the injection tube 1, mixing the patient's medication externally before injecting it through the first one-way valve 12 on the sealing cap 11. A one-way valve 12 ensures that the medication entering the injection tube 1 will not flow back. A fixing bracket 19 is installed on the outer surface of the injection tube 1, and the sheath 3 is installed on the outer surface of the injection tube 1 through the fixing bracket 19 to fix it. One end of the injection tube 1 is equipped with a drug outlet 2, through which the medication inside the injection tube 1 flows out. A rubber sleeve 8 is installed at one end of the drug outlet 2. The rubber sleeve 8 is relatively soft and designed in an oval three-dimensional shape to fit the shape of the patient's mouth. When the patient takes the medication, they may bite down on the rubber sleeve 8 due to resistance, thus protecting the patient's safety. At the same time, the other end of the rubber sleeve 8 has an angled opening, which can prevent the medication from flowing directly into the patient's throat and causing choking. The outer surface of the fixing bracket 19 is equipped with a sheath 3. When in use, the sheath 3 is put on the patient's mouth to prevent the patient from spraying or spitting out the medication during administration, which facilitates clinical medication administration and improves the efficacy of medication.

[0023] The outer surface of the dispensing port 2 is tightly fitted with a protective sleeve 3. Fixing posts 4 are installed on both sides of the protective sleeve 3. Two fixing straps 5 are rotatably connected to the protective sleeve 3 via the fixing posts 4. One fixing strap 5 has a Velcro face 6 on its outer surface, and the other fixing strap 5 has a Velcro face 7 on its outer surface. During use, the protective sleeve 3 is fitted to the patient's mouth. The fixing straps 5 can rotate via the fixing posts 4. By rotating the fixing straps 5, both straps 5 can be pulled from both sides of the patient's head towards the back of the neck. The Velcro face 6 and the Velcro face 7 adhere to each other, firmly securing the fixing straps 5 to the patient's body. This ensures that the protective sleeve 3 fits snugly against the patient's mouth, preventing the patient from spraying the medication or spilling it onto the ground during administration, thus reducing medication waste.

[0024] The inner wall of the injection tube 1 is in close contact with a slide cylinder 9. A circular opening 10 is provided on the bottom surface of the slide cylinder 9. A rubber stopper 13 is installed inside the slide cylinder 9, and a second one-way valve 14 is installed inside the rubber stopper 13. A push rod 15 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rubber stopper 13, and the outer surface of the push rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sealing cap 11. A push plate 16 is installed at the other end of the push rod 15. When the liquid medicine flows from the first one-way valve 12 on the sealing cap 11 into the injection tube 1, pulling the push rod upwards restricts the outward flow of air above the rubber stopper 13 inside the injection tube 1. Therefore, the liquid medicine flows through the second one-way valve 14 installed on the rubber stopper 13 into the rubber stopper inside the injection tube 1. The space below 13 is then pressed down on the push plate 16, and the push rod 15 is pushed down. The rubber stopper 13 moves close to the inner wall of the slide cylinder 9. Under the restriction of the second one-way valve 14, the medicine is pushed to the round opening 10 at the bottom of the slide cylinder 9, flows from the round opening 10 to the medicine outlet 2, and from the medicine outlet 2 to the rubber sleeve 8, thus reaching the patient's mouth and completing the medication administration. A fixing ring 17 is installed on the outer surface of the injection tube 1, and a handle ring 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixing ring 17. When pushing the push plate 16, the user can insert their fingers into the handle ring 18. With the assistance of the handle ring 18, the push rod 15 and the rubber stopper 13 can be pushed together more easily, thus facilitating clinical nursing.

[0025] In use, the following steps are taken: the medication is dispensed through the injection tube 1 from the outlet, and the rubber sleeve 8 is inserted into the patient's mouth. Simultaneously, the protective sleeve 3 is fitted to the patient's mouth. By rotating the fixing straps 5, the two straps 5 are pulled from both sides of the patient's head towards the back of the neck. The fastener face 6 and the fastener face 7 are then bonded together, firmly securing the straps 5 to the patient's body. This ensures the protective sleeve 3 fits snugly against the patient's mouth, preventing the patient from spraying medication or spilling it onto the ground, effectively reducing medication waste and improving efficacy. Furthermore, the slanted opening at one end of the rubber sleeve 8 prevents the medication from flowing directly into the patient's throat, thus protecting the patient's safety and further enhancing the device's practicality.
