Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid feeding equipment, and in particular to a liquid feeding device for critically ill newborns. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of neonatal intensive care, feeding has always been a challenge in clinical nursing. Newborns, especially premature and low-birth-weight infants, cannot be directly fed with breast milk or formula because their digestive systems are not yet fully developed. They require specialized liquid feeding devices to provide nutrition. Traditional liquid feeding methods include syringe feeding and dropper feeding, but these methods have many drawbacks, such as difficulty in controlling the feeding rate, easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort in newborns, significant loss of nutrients during feeding, and cumbersome operation and susceptibility to contamination.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217853897U, which discloses a neonatal critical care liquid feeder that effectively solves the problems of cumbersome operation and inability to control the flow rate of existing liquid feeders. The feeder includes a control box containing a spoon-shaped box, and a square box located above the spoon-shaped box. The right end of the spoon-shaped box is connected to the lower end of the square box via a flexible tube, and the left end of the spoon-shaped box is connected to a feeding tube that passes through the control box. A slider is slidably connected to the upper side of the spoon-shaped box, and a spoon-shaped frame is hinged to the lower end of the slider. A disc is rotatably connected inside the spoon-shaped frame. The control box contains a rotating shaft with a front-to-back axial direction. The front end of the rotating shaft extends into the spoon-shaped box and is eccentrically fixed to the disc. A push plate is slidably connected inside the control box in a vertical direction and located in front of the feeding tube. A circular shaft with a left-to-right axial direction and its left end passing through the control box is rotatably connected to the left side wall of the control box. Multiple arc-shaped blocks with progressively increasing diameters in a clockwise direction are evenly distributed on the outer edge of the circular shaft. The front end of the push plate maintains contact with the arc-shaped blocks. This invention has an ingenious structure and is easy to use.

[0004] The above-mentioned device has the following defects: during the feeding process, the temperature of the liquid food material in the existing feeding tube will gradually cool down along with the feeding process, which will reduce the fluidity of the liquid food if the feeding time is too long, making the taste of the liquid food worse and possibly causing blockage of the discharge tube, thus reducing the auxiliary effect of the device on feeding liquid food. Therefore, a neonatal critical care liquid food feeder is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of a neonatal critical care liquid feeder, including a tank 1, which provides protection and support for the device. The front surface of the tank 1 is provided with a scale strip 4, which allows the operator to monitor the liquid food storage status in the feeding tank 8. A top cover 2 is detachably connected to the upper surface of the tank 1. A motor 3 is fixedly installed at the axis of the upper surface of the top cover 2, which provides power for the rotation of the stirring rack 31. A protective component 6 is provided at the axis of the bottom of the tank 1. The outer arc surface of the outer wall of the top cover 2 has multiple sets of evenly distributed anti-slip textures 21, which make it easier for the operator to unscrew the top cover 2.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 When feeding is required, the discharge pipe 7 and the water outlet pipe are connected. An auxiliary component is installed inside the tank 1. Drinkable cold water is poured into the tank 1, and the heating strip 9 is activated to heat the cold water in the tank 1. The auxiliary component includes the heating strip 9, which is fixedly installed in a groove on the lower surface of the tank 1. A sealing ring 91 is fixedly installed at the bottom axis of the tank 1. The inner ring of the sealing ring 91 is detachably connected to the feeding tank 8. The heat from the cold water is transferred to the feeding tank 8 to keep it warm, preventing the liquid food in the feeding tank 8 from cooling and forming a crust during storage or use. This improves the heating and heat preservation efficiency of the feeding tank 8 and also enhances the cooling effect of the cold water. Heating is performed so that when the patient needs to drink water, the water is connected to the outlet 5 through the water pipe, ensuring the water temperature when drinking and improving the taste of the water. The output shaft of the motor 3 is fixedly installed with a stirring frame 31, which is connected through the inner wall of the feeding tank 8. When the motor 3 is started, the output shaft of the motor 3 rotates, driving the stirring frame 31 to rotate and stir the liquid food in the feeding tank 8. The bottom of the right end of the inner wall of the tank 1 has an outlet 5, which improves the mixing of the liquid food in the feeding tank 8. The bottom groove of the outlet 5 is connected to a water pipe, which also improves the uniformity of heating and heat preservation of the liquid food in the feeding tank 8 by the heating strip 9, and enhances the feeding assistance effect of the equipment.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3When the discharge pipe 7 deflects, the protective assembly 6 is activated. The protective assembly 6 includes a mounting base 61, which is detachably connected to a groove at the bottom axis of the tank 1. A fixing block 62 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting base 61. An outer cavity shell 63 is formed on the outer side of the lower surface of the fixing block 62, and an inner cavity shell 64 is formed at the axis of the lower surface of the fixing block 62. The inner cavity shell 64 is threadedly connected to the discharge pipe 7, and the discharge pipe 7 is connected to the outer wall of the inner cavity shell 64, enabling the installation and removal of the discharge pipe 7. A movable disc 65 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the outer cavity shell 63. The operator rotates the movable disc 65, causing it to separate from the outer shell 63. The moving fixed ring 67 then moves the rubber strip 66 to the deflection point of the discharge pipe 7. The rubber strip 66 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the movable disc 65. The rubber strip 66 wraps around the outer wall of the discharge pipe 7, providing auxiliary support at the deflection point. The fixed ring 67 is fixedly installed at the end of the rubber strip 66 to prevent the discharge pipe 7 from breaking and causing leakage of liquid food. This improves the equipment's protective capabilities and enhances its protective effect during the transport of liquid food in the discharge pipe 7.

[0027] Working Principle: When feeding is required, connect the discharge pipe 7 and the water outlet pipe, and fill the tank 1 with potable cold water. Activate the heating bar 9 to heat the water in the tank 1. The heat transfer from the heating bar 9 keeps the feeding tank 8 warm, preventing the liquid food in the feeding tank 8 from cooling and forming a crust during storage or use. This improves the heating and heat preservation efficiency of the feeding tank 8. Heating the water ensures that when the patient needs to drink, the water is connected to the water outlet 5 through the water outlet pipe, guaranteeing the water temperature and improving the taste. Activate the motor 3; the output shaft of the motor 3 rotates, driving the stirring frame 31 to rotate, stirring the liquid food in the feeding tank 8. This improves the mixing of the liquid food in the feeding tank 8 and enhances the heating effect of the heating bar 9. The uniform heating and insulation of the liquid food in the feeding tank 8 enhances the equipment's feeding assistance effect. When the discharge pipe 7 deflects, the protective component 6 is activated. Through the threaded connection between the inner shell 64 and the discharge pipe 7, the equipment can install and remove the discharge pipe 7. Medical staff can rotate the movable disc 65 to separate it from the outer shell 63. The movable fixing ring 67 drives the rubber strip 66 to move to the deflection point of the discharge pipe 7. The rubber strip 66 wraps around the outer wall of the discharge pipe 7, providing auxiliary support at the deflection point and preventing the discharge pipe 7 from breaking and causing leakage of liquid food. This improves the equipment's protective performance and enhances its protective effect during the transportation of liquid food in the discharge pipe 7.
