[0025] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.
[0027] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The image shows a traditional Chinese medicine infusion funnel according to the first embodiment of the present invention, including a conical feed hopper 10, a fixed ring 20 connected to the conical feed hopper 10, and a toggle mechanism 30 disposed within the fixed ring 20. The toggle mechanism 30 includes a toggle rod 32 movably disposed on the fixed ring 20, and a drive assembly for driving the toggle rod 32 to move from the periphery of the fixed ring 20 toward the center of the fixed ring 20.
[0030] Understandably, this utility model replaces the self-cut mineral water bottle used in the prior art by setting a conical feed hopper 10 and a fixing ring 20. At the same time, a drive component and a lever 32 are set in the fixing ring 20. During normal infusion of traditional Chinese medicine, medical staff open the opening of the hot compress bag by hand and put the opening of the hot compress bag onto the fixing ring 20. The medical staff hold the opening of the hot compress bag and the fixing ring 20 tightly by hand. Then another medical staff pours traditional Chinese medicine into the conical feed hopper 10. When the medicine gets stuck at the fixing ring 20 and does not flow smoothly, the medical staff drives the lever 32 to move towards the center of the fixing ring 20 through the drive component, so that the lever 32 contacts the traditional Chinese medicine, disperses the medicine, and allows the medicine to fall smoothly.
[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the conical feed hopper 10 and the fixing ring 20 are provided with flow spaces for the Chinese medicine to pass through.
[0032] Understandably, the flow space is used for the Chinese medicine to slide from the conical feed hopper 10 to the fixed ring 20, and then from the fixed ring 20 into the hot compress bag.
[0033] Furthermore, the actuating lever 32 includes an integrally formed connecting portion 321 and a hook portion 322, with a pivot at the junction of the connecting portion 321 and the hook portion 322, and a first protrusion 323 on the connecting portion 321; the driving assembly includes a sliding ring 31 slidably disposed on the surface of the fixed ring 20, and an ejector structure 33 connected to the sliding ring 31, the ejector structure 33 being configured to cooperate with the first protrusion 323.
[0034] Understandably, by setting a sliding ring 31 on the surface of the fixed ring 20, when the Chinese medicine gets stuck during the infusion process, the medical staff holds the conical feed hopper 10 with one hand and the opening of the hot compress bag with the other hand, and feels the position of the sliding ring 31. Then, by sliding the sliding ring 31 up and down, the sliding ring 31 drives the ejector structure 33 to move up and down. The ejector structure 33 will intermittently contact the first protrusion 323 when it moves up and down, so that the actuating rod 32 swings back and forth around the rotating axis, thereby making the hook part 322 contact the Chinese medicine accumulated at the fixed ring 20, making the infusion of Chinese medicine smoother.
[0035] Furthermore, the ejector structure 33 includes a connecting rod 331 connected to the sliding ring 31 near the fixed ring 20, and a second protrusion 332 connected to the connecting rod 331. The second protrusion 332 is used to push up the first protrusion 323. The fixed ring 20 is provided with a through hole 23 for the actuating rod 32 to pass through. The two ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the hole wall of the through hole 23. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively connected to the hole wall of the through hole 23 and the actuating rod 32.
[0036] Understandably, in practice, medical staff hold the opening of the hot compress firmly with their hands and then slide the sliding ring 31 downwards. The sliding ring 31 drives the connecting rod 331 and the second protrusion 332 to move downwards. When the second protrusion 332 slides to touch the first protrusion 323, the connecting part 321 will shift away from the center of the fixed ring 20 to rotate around the axis, so that the hook part 322 can push towards the center of the fixed ring 20 to disperse the Chinese medicine. When the sliding ring 31 moves upwards so that the second protrusion 332 no longer contacts the first protrusion 323, the torsion spring drives the actuating rod 32 to reset, so that the hook part 322 is away from the flow space to avoid affecting the normal infusion of Chinese medicine.
[0037] Specifically, the fixed ring 20 is provided with a clearance hole 22 for the connecting rod 331 to slide through; the sliding ring 31 is provided with a slider 34 on the side near the fixed ring 20, the surface of the fixed ring 20 is provided with a groove 21 that cooperates with the slider 34, and a compression spring 35 is provided between the slider 34 and the groove wall of the groove 21.
[0038] Understandably, by setting the clearance hole 22, the connecting rod 331 can slide smoothly along the clearance hole 22, so that the second protrusion 332 can better contact the first protrusion 323 to lift the connecting part 321. By setting the slider 34 and the slide groove 21, the sliding ring 31 can slide more smoothly up and down along the fixed ring 20. The presence of the compression spring 35 means that medical staff do not need to actively lift the sliding ring 31 to achieve reciprocating motion. They only need to apply force to pull the sliding ring 31 down, and then release the force to make the compression spring 35 reset and drive the sliding ring 31 to lift up, so that the hook part 322 can no longer block the flow space at the center of the fixed ring 20, making the operation feel better.
[0039] In summary, in the above embodiments of this utility model, when the Chinese medicine is stuck at the fixed ring and its flow is not smooth, medical staff can drive the actuating rod to move towards the center of the fixed ring through the driving component, so that the actuating rod contacts the Chinese medicine, disperses the Chinese medicine, and allows the Chinese medicine to fall smoothly.
