Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In administering medication to children, traditional methods often prove difficult due to their young age, poor swallowing ability, and susceptibility to discomfort. Many parents and caregivers face the problem of children refusing to swallow pills or experiencing adverse reactions such as choking and vomiting due to improper administration, sometimes even resulting in wasted medication. While existing pill feeders offer some assistance, most designs lack optimization for children's physiological characteristics, posing safety hazards and inconvenience, particularly in areas such as medication intake, nozzle positioning, and preventing waste.

[0003] Traditional medicine feeders typically use a cylindrical design, but this makes it difficult to ensure the medicine is accurately delivered to both sides of a child's mouth during administration, easily leading to choking and coughing. Furthermore, the nipple may detach from the feeder due to a child's struggles or biting, causing leakage and waste, which undoubtedly affects the medication's effectiveness. In addition, the less-than-ideal design of the medicine suction and nipple installation often results in incomplete medication intake and can easily contaminate the device during administration, increasing the cleaning burden on parents and caregivers.

[0004] For example, patent document CN202320670862.X describes a medicine feeder. This patent solves the problem of the lack of a medicine feeding device that can quickly administer medicine while preventing the medicine from dripping from the corners of the child's mouth and soiling their clothes. It includes a feeding tube with a sliding propulsion component inside. One end of the feeding tube is connected to a delivery component, and a retaining ring is also provided at the end of the feeding tube near the delivery component. The purpose of this retaining ring is to block the medicine from being inhaled by the infant, reducing the chance of the medicine soiling their clothes while they are sucking or struggling. However, the above technical solution still has the problem that the mouthpiece may detach from the feeding tube due to the child's struggle or biting, leading to leakage and waste of the medicine. It also has the difficulty in ensuring that the medicine is accurately delivered to the left and right sides of the child's mouth during administration, which can easily cause choking and coughing.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, we have developed a medicine feeder that optimizes the effectiveness of the feeder, prevents discomfort and choking in children during medication administration, and reduces medication waste. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a medicine feeder.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a medicine feeder includes a medicine feeding cylinder, a detachable medicine feeding nozzle is provided at the bottom of the medicine feeding cylinder, a connector is connected to the upper end of the medicine feeding nozzle, a baffle is provided on the upper part of the connector, the connector is detachably connected to the lower part of the medicine feeding cylinder, and a detachable medicine suction nozzle is provided below the medicine feeding nozzle.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding nozzle has a flat structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower left and right ends of the feeding nozzle are respectively provided with medicine outlets.

[0010] Furthermore, the inside of the feeding nozzle is hollow and connected to the lower end of the feeding cylinder.

[0011] When using this invention for medication administration, the feeding nozzle is installed at the lower end of the medication feeding cylinder, and the suction nozzle is installed at the lower end of the feeding nozzle. The medication is then drawn into the medication feeding cylinder through the lower end of the suction nozzle. Because the lower end of the suction nozzle has a conical structure, the medication in the container can be drawn into the medication feeding cylinder more effectively. If the medication is directly drawn in through the feeding nozzle, the outlet at the lower end of the nozzle is located on the side, making it difficult to completely draw the medication from the bottom of the container into the medication feeding cylinder. Furthermore, after the medication has been drawn in, the suction nozzle can be removed directly by hand, preventing hand contamination of the feeding nozzle. Compared to the traditional method of absorbing the medication through the lower end of the medication feeding cylinder and then manually installing the feeding nozzle onto the cylinder, this invention avoids contamination of the feeding nozzle. While the medication is being absorbed, the narrow inlet channel between the suction nozzle and the lower end of the feeding nozzle can block most of the undissolved medication particles from entering the feeding tube, thus preventing particles from entering the child's mouth during medication administration and causing discomfort to the patient.

[0012] This application optimizes the use of medicine feeders, avoiding discomfort and choking in children during medication administration and reducing medication waste. The use of innovatively designed medicine feeders is therefore crucial. This invention improves the structure of the feeding nozzle by adopting a flat design and clearly positioning the dispensing port, ensuring accurate delivery of medication to both sides of the child's mouth, effectively preventing choking caused by direct injection into the oral cavity. Simultaneously, the threaded connection between the feeding nozzle and the feeding cartridge prevents the nozzle from dislodging due to the child biting it, minimizing medication waste. Furthermore, the conical structure of the suction nozzle and the design of the inlet channel facilitate better absorption of the medication and prevent undissolved medication particles from entering the feeding cartridge and the child's mouth, thus ensuring the integrity and safety of the medication.

[0013] Beneficial effects: This application enables medication administration to children, and features a flat-shaped feeding nozzle that facilitates mouth fixation and allows for clear identification of the dispensing outlet's location, ensuring it faces the left and right sides of the mouth to prevent choking. The nozzle allows medication to enter the left and right sides of the mouth directly through the outlet. Furthermore, the threaded connection between the upper part of the connector and the feeding cartridge prevents children from biting the feeding nozzle during administration, thus avoiding spillage and waste.

[0020] Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, the purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a medicine feeder includes a medicine feeding cylinder 1, a detachable medicine feeding nozzle 5 is provided at the bottom of the medicine feeding cylinder 1, a connector 2 is connected to the upper end of the medicine feeding nozzle 5, a baffle plate 3 is provided on the upper part of the connector 2, the connector 2 is detachably connected to the lower part of the medicine feeding cylinder 1, and a detachable medicine suction nozzle 4 is provided below the medicine feeding nozzle 5.

[0021] The feeding nozzle 5 has a flat structure, making it easy to identify the orientation of the dispensing port 6, which facilitates subsequent medication administration. Dispensing ports 6 are located on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the feeding nozzle 5. The interior of the feeding nozzle 5 is hollow and connected to the lower end of the feeding cartridge 1. The medication enters the feeding nozzle 5 through the feeding cartridge 1, and then enters the oral cavity through the dispensing port 6 on the feeding nozzle 5. The barrier 3 and the feeding nozzle 5 are made of elastic material to prevent injury to children.

[0022] The lower part of connector 2 is detachably connected to the lower part of the medicine feeding cylinder 1. The lower part of connector 2 is made of rubber to prevent injury to children and to facilitate a seal when connecting connector 2 and medicine feeding cylinder 1. The upper part of connector 2 is threadedly connected to medicine feeding cylinder 1 to prevent the medicine feeding nozzle 5 from detaching from medicine feeding cylinder 1 when the child struggles during medication. The suction nozzle 4 is made of rubber, and the upper part of suction nozzle 4 is detachably connected to the upper part of medicine feeding nozzle 5, and the connection between the upper part of suction nozzle 4 and the upper part of medicine feeding nozzle 5 is sealed.

[0023] The lower part of the suction nozzle 4 has a conical structure, which facilitates observation when suctioning the liquid medicine. The suction nozzle 4 also has a suction channel in the middle. The liquid medicine is sucked into the inlet channel 7 through the suction channel, and then enters the feeding cylinder 1 through the feeding nozzle 5. The inlet channel 7 is provided between the lower part of the suction nozzle 4 and the lower part of the feeding nozzle 5.

[0024] When using this invention for medication administration, the feeding nozzle 5 is installed at the lower end of the feeding cylinder 1, and the suction nozzle 4 is installed at the lower end of the feeding nozzle 5. The medication is then drawn into the feeding cylinder 1 through the lower end of the suction nozzle 4. Because the lower end of the suction nozzle 4 has a conical structure, the medication in the container can be drawn into the feeding cylinder 1 more effectively. If the medication is directly drawn in through the feeding nozzle 5, the outlet 6 at the lower end of the feeding nozzle 5 is located on the side, which is not conducive to completely drawing the medication from the bottom of the container into the feeding cylinder 1. Furthermore, after the medication is drawn in, the suction nozzle 4 can be removed directly by hand, avoiding contamination of the feeding nozzle 5 by hand. Compared to the traditional method of absorbing the medication through the lower end of the feeding cylinder 1 and then manually installing the feeding nozzle 5 onto the feeding cylinder 1, this invention avoids contamination of the feeding nozzle 5. While the medication is being absorbed, the narrow inlet channel 7 between the suction nozzle 4 and the lower end of the feeding nozzle 5 can block most of the undissolved medication particles from entering the feeding cylinder 1, preventing particles from entering the child's mouth during medication administration and causing discomfort to the patient.

[0025] Furthermore, the feeding nozzle 5 is designed with a flat structure, which makes it easy to fix the child's mouth in place and clearly indicate the position of the dispensing port 6. This ensures that the dispensing port 6 faces the left and right sides of the mouth, avoiding direct injection into the mouth and causing choking. It also allows the medication to enter the left and right sides of the mouth through the dispensing port 6.

[0026] Furthermore, the upper part of the connector 2 is threadedly connected to the medicine feeding cylinder 1, which can prevent children from biting the medicine feeding nozzle 5 when feeding medicine. When struggling, the medicine feeding nozzle 5 may easily detach from the medicine feeding cylinder 1, causing the medicine to spill and thus avoiding waste.
