Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assistive devices for feeding medicine to children, and in particular to an assistive device for preventing choking when feeding traditional Chinese medicine to children. Background Technology

[0002] During a child's growth, it is common to get sick and take medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in the treatment of childhood diseases due to its unique efficacy. However, because children, especially younger children, have not yet fully developed their bodily functions and have weak swallowing control, the process of administering medicine is often difficult and they are prone to choking. This not only causes physical pain for children but can also lead to serious consequences such as airway obstruction, posing a threat to their health.

[0003] Currently, there are some anti-choking aids for children to take traditional Chinese medicine on the market. They consist of a medicine tube and a nipple. The medicine tube is made of a rigid material suitable for storing liquid medicine. The nipple at the front end is designed in the shape of a tube, which is easy to insert into the child's mouth. It can accurately deliver the liquid medicine to a specific position in the mouth. The medicine can be absorbed by the child through simple pressing and self-sucking. It is convenient to operate with one hand.

[0004] In existing technologies, some devices used in actual home settings, specifically for young children held in arms, employ a tube-based feeding method. When a child inhales the medicine through the tube, air pressure gradually builds up inside the tube as the liquid is drawn out. This air pressure causes the child to suck harder to obtain the medicine. However, young children have poor coordination between swallowing and breathing, and excessive sucking can cause a large amount of medicine to rush into their mouth in a short time, exceeding their swallowing capacity and leading to choking. Therefore, this invention proposes an anti-choking aid for children taking traditional Chinese medicine to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a child-friendly anti-choking aid for administering traditional Chinese medicine, aiming to improve the problem in some existing devices where air pressure gradually builds up inside the medicine tube as the medicine is sucked out, causing children to choke from excessive inhalation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a child's herbal medicine feeding aid to prevent choking, comprising a medicine tube, a pressure-relief mechanism provided on the inner bottom side of the medicine tube, a liquid dispensing mechanism provided on the top of the medicine tube, the pressure-relief mechanism comprising a support plate, the outer side of the support plate being fixedly connected to the inner bottom side of the medicine tube, a measuring component being fixedly connected to the outer side of the medicine tube, a movable cover being fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, an air outlet being fixedly connected to the top of the movable cover, an air inlet cover being fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate, a limiting tube being slidably connected to the inner side of the air inlet cover, a gasket being fixedly connected to the outer side of the limiting tube, and a limiting post being fixedly connected to the inner top side of the limiting tube;

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the liquid dispensing mechanism includes a sealing ring, the inner side of which is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the medicine tube, a sealing cap is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sealing ring, and a baffle is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sealing cap.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: a nipple seat is threadedly connected to the inner side of the sealing cap, and a dispensing nipple is fixedly connected to the top of the nipple seat;

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the measuring component includes a scale bar, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the outside of the medicine tube, and gripping grooves are provided on both sides of the outside of the medicine tube;

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the measuring component includes a scale bar, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the outside of the medicine tube, and gripping grooves are provided on both sides of the outside of the medicine tube;

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the inner side of the sealing cap is fixedly connected to the top of the medicine tube through the sealing cap, so that it can be quickly disassembled and assembled, and the outer side of the sealing cap is fixedly connected through the baffle, so that the baffle is close to the mouth when the child inhales.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, the movable cover and the air inlet cover are fixed together by the support plate to form an internal sealed environment, which facilitates the sliding of the gasket. Gas is introduced into the medicine tube to change the pressure inside the medicine tube, so that when the child inhales the medicine, the liquid is slowly and stably discharged. The limiting tube slides on the air inlet cover, and the limiting column at the top of the tube is supported inside the movable cover, which further controls the flow of the medicine and prevents the child from choking on a large amount of medicine suddenly inhaled. Thus, as the medicine is inhaled, the air pressure inside the medicine tube is stabilized, the amount of medicine discharged is controlled, and the child is further prevented from choking on medicine due to excessive inhalation.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the combination of the sealing ring, sealing cap, and nipple holder makes it easy to clean after use and reduces drug residue. The combination of the baffle and dispensing nipple prevents the drug from overflowing and irritating the child's throat, causing coughing and choking. This solves the problem that when children who need to squeeze to suck, the drug directly irritates the throat after being squeezed out of the tube, causing coughing and choking.

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 Figures 4 to 6This utility model provides an embodiment of a child's herbal medicine feeding aid to prevent choking, comprising a medicine tube 1 for storing the medicine liquid. The medicine tube 1 is made of medical-grade non-toxic transparent plastic, with a rigid top and bottom, and a more flexible middle section for easy compression. A pressure-relief mechanism 2 is provided on the inner bottom of the medicine tube 1, and a liquid dispensing mechanism 3 is provided on the top. The pressure-relief mechanism 2 includes a support plate 201 made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant medical-grade plastic, which not only provides stable support for the entire pressure-relief mechanism 2 but also ensures that it will not be damaged by the medicine liquid during long-term use. The outer side of the support plate 201 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the medicine tube 1. A measuring component is fixedly connected to the outside of the medicine tube 1, including a scale bar 4. The scale bar 4 helps... Parents can accurately control the dosage of medication to avoid affecting the treatment effect and posing potential risks to children's health due to inaccurate dosage. The outer surface of the scale strip 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the medicine tube 1. Both sides of the outside of the medicine tube 1 are provided with grip grooves 5. The grip grooves 5 can make it easy for parents to hold the medicine stably during the medication process and prevent the medicine feeding device from falling due to slippage, which would affect the medication feeding process. The top of the support plate 201 is fixedly connected to the movable cover 202. The movable cover 202 is made of flexible medical plastic material and has a sealing property. It can not only ensure that it can be fixed under pressure, but also prevent the medicine from leaking. The top of the movable cover 202 is fixedly connected to the vent 203. The vent 203 is a bend tube type. When the pressure is balanced, gas is stored at the bend to block the vent and prevent the medicine from seeping into the interior of the movable cover 202.

[0025] An air intake hood 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 201. The air intake hood 204 has multiple holes inside, and a multi-angle support frame and a limiting slider are fixed inside. A limiting tube 205 is slidably connected to the inside of the air intake hood 204. The limiting tube 205 can effectively limit the air intake volume. Its bottom inner side slides on the outside of the limiting slider of the air intake hood 204. A gasket 206 is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting tube 205. The gasket 206 is made of rubber and has good sealing and wear resistance. When the air pressure is normal, it is supported by the multi-angle support frame inside the air intake hood 204. A limiting post 207 is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the limiting tube 205. The limiting post 207 plays a role in further limiting the air intake speed. The outside of the gasket 206 is slidably connected to the inside of the support plate 201. The outside of the gasket 206 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable cover 202. The inside of the air intake hood 204 is supported by the bottom of the gasket 206.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3The dispensing mechanism 3 includes a sealing ring 301 made of food-grade silicone, which has good elasticity and sealing properties, effectively preventing leakage of the medicine. The inner side of the sealing ring 301 is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the medicine tube 1. A sealing cap 302 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sealing ring 301. The sealing cap 302 is made of high-strength plastic and a baffle 303 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sealing cap 302. The baffle 303 is made of soft medical-grade rubber. When a child sucks, the baffle 303 can comfortably fit close to the mouth and act as a barrier. A nipple holder 304 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the sealing cap 302. The nipple holder 304 allows for easy replacement of different types and sizes of nipples to meet the needs of children of different ages. The top of the nipple holder 304 is fixedly connected to a dispensing nipple 305, which is made of food-grade silicone. The dispensing nipple 305 is soft and mimics the feel of a breast nipple, increasing the comfort of children during feeding. Its top is designed with two 'V'-shaped dispensing tubes. The inner side of the sealing cap 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the medicine tube 1, allowing for quick disassembly and assembly. The baffle 303 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sealing cap 302, so that the baffle 303 is close to the mouth when the child is feeding.

[0027] Working principle: During use, the herbal liquid is poured into the medicine tube 1. Parents can precisely control the amount of liquid poured in using the graduation strip 4 to avoid affecting the treatment effect due to inaccurate dosage. The grip groove 5 allows for easy one-handed handling of the medicine tube 1 while holding a child. The dispensing mechanism 3 is fixed to the medicine tube 1, creating a sealed environment. When the child inhales the liquid, the internal pressure of the medicine tube 1 increases. This causes the limiting tube 205 inside the support plate 201 to be pushed against the gasket 206 by the air drawn in from the air inlet hood 204, thus restricting the flow of the medicine. The tube 205 slides upward inside the air intake hood 204, causing the gasket 206 to deform and create a gap, allowing gas to enter the movable hood 202 and then enter the medicine tube 1 through the air outlet 203. When the air pressure inside the medicine tube 1 suddenly increases, the air intake of the air intake hood 204 increases. The raised gasket 206 drives the limiting tube 205, causing the limiting post 207 on the limiting tube 205 to press against the movable hood 202, further limiting the air intake speed. This ensures that the pressure inside the medicine tube 1 changes smoothly, achieving slow and stable liquid discharge and preventing children from choking on medicine.

[0028] After pouring the medicine into the medicine tube 1, the sealing cap 302 is clipped onto the top of the medicine tube 1. The sealing ring 301 ensures a tight connection between the medicine tube 1 and the sealing cap 302, preventing leakage of the medicine. The baffle 303 prevents the medicine from overflowing and also prevents children from inserting the dispensing nipple 305 too deeply into their mouths due to excessive sucking, reducing the risk of choking. When cleaning and disinfecting, the nipple holder 304 can be removed from the sealing cap 302 for separate treatment to prevent residual medicine inside the dispensing nipple 305. By designing the top of the dispensing nipple 305 with two small 'V'-shaped diversion grooves, the medicine can be evenly distributed into both sides of the child's mouth when squeezed and sucked, preventing the medicine from rushing out and causing choking. When the child sucks on their own, the soft nipple holder 304 can deform and gather in the middle position, making it more comfortable.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
