[0032] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0033] like Figures 3-4As shown, a pediatric medication feeding device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a reservoir 1, a medication feeder 2, a grinding structure 3, and a grinding box 4. The medication feeder 2 is disposed inside the reservoir 1. The grinding structure 3 is snapped into the reservoir 1, and the medication feeder 2 is detachably connected to the grinding structure 3. One end of the grinding structure 3 away from the reservoir 1 is snapped into place. The grinding structure 3 includes a rotating disk 31, a connecting member 32, and a grinding blade assembly 33. The rotating disk 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting member 32, and the grinding blade assembly 33 surrounds the connecting member 32 and is fixedly connected to the connecting member 32. The rotating disk 31 is snapped into the reservoir 1, and the rotating disk 31 is detachably connected to the medication feeder 2. One end of the rotating disk 31 away from the reservoir 1 is snapped into place. By setting up a medicine storage container for storing ready-to-drink liquid medicines or water, and a medicine feeder 2 for accurately extracting and feeding the medicine to the child, and by setting up a grinding structure 3 and a grinding box 4, solid medicines can be easily ground into a form suitable for children. When grinding is required, the hand-held rotating disc 31 is rotated, and the grinding blade assembly 33 cuts large pieces of medicine into small pieces in the grinding box 4. Then, the bottom of the connecting piece 32 is used to further crush the chopped pieces, increasing grinding efficiency. This system can adapt to the grinding needs of different medicines and realizes the integrated operation of medicine storage, grinding, and feeding.

[0034] Please see Figure 5 As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the grinding blade assembly 33 includes at least two blades 331, each blade 331 being coiled around the connecting member 32, and each blade 331 being provided with a plurality of grinding teeth (not shown in the figure). The multiple blades 331 coiled around the connecting member 32 increase the contact area with the tablet, making the grinding process more efficient. Simultaneously, the grinding teeth can more effectively break down the tablet, rapidly converting it into powder, facilitating subsequent dissolution and administration. Since the blades 331 are evenly distributed on the connecting member 32, and each blade 331 is provided with grinding teeth, it ensures that the tablet receives uniform pressure and friction during grinding, thereby obtaining a finer powder, increasing the grinding rate, and reducing the force required by the user to grind the tablet.

[0035] Please see Figure 6As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: A plurality of grinding heads 321 are provided at the end of the connector 32 away from the rotating disk 31. Each grinding head 321 is evenly and equidistantly arranged, further increasing the contact points with the tablet, making the grinding process more comprehensive and thorough. While the tablet is being ground by the blade 331, it is also being assisted by the grinding heads 321, thereby improving the grinding efficiency and fineness. Because the grinding heads 321 are evenly and equidistantly arranged, the tablet receives uniform pressure and friction during grinding, avoiding the problem of uneven particle size caused by uneven grinding. This helps ensure that the powder reaches a uniform state more quickly when dissolved, improving the quality of the liquid medicine. In this embodiment, tablets of various shapes, whether round, elliptical, or otherwise irregular, can be effectively ground.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the outer side of the rotating disk 31 is provided with an anti-slip groove 311, which can increase the friction between the rotating disk 31 and the hand or operating surface, so that when rotating, disassembling or installing the rotating disk 31, the user can hold or operate the rotating disk 31 more stably, and avoid operational errors caused by hand slippage during the grinding process.

[0037] Please see Figure 7 As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the medicine feeder 2 includes a suction ball 21, a handle 22, a suction cylinder 23, a locking member 24, and a suction nozzle 25. The suction ball 21 is connected to one end of the suction cylinder 23. The handle 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the suction cylinder 23 near the suction ball 21. The suction nozzle 25 is connected to the end of the suction cylinder 23 away from the suction ball 21. The locking member 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the suction cylinder 23 near the suction nozzle 25. A receiving groove 312 is provided on the rotating disk 31, and the suction nozzle 25 is placed in the receiving groove 312. When medication needs to be administered, first insert the nozzle 25 into the medication, then squeeze the bulb 21 to expel the air from the feeder 2, and then release the bulb 21. The pressure difference between the inside and outside of the feeder 2 will draw the medication into the suction tube 23. When medication needs to be given, simply have the child hold the nozzle 25, and then squeeze the bulb 21 to deliver the medication into the child's mouth. In this embodiment, to prevent the child from choking when taking medication, the nozzle 25 has outlet holes on both sides away from the suction tube 23, forming a figure-eight shape.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: a locking post 313 is provided on the rotating disk 31, and a locking hole 241 is provided on the locking member 24. The locking post 313 is detachably connected to the locking member 24 through the locking hole 241. This makes the connection between the rotating disk 31 and the locking member 24 simple and quick. The user only needs to align the locking post 313 with the locking hole 241 and insert it to complete the assembly; similarly, disassembly is also possible by simply pulling the locking post 313 out of the locking hole 241, which can effectively ensure the stable placement of the medicine feeder 2 when not in use.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the outer wall of the suction cup 23 is provided with a volume scale 231, allowing users to accurately measure and record the volume of the liquid medicine inside the suction cup 23. This is crucial for pediatric medications where strict dosage control is required, ensuring that children receive the correct dose and avoiding overdose or underdose. When drawing the liquid medicine, users can intuitively understand the amount of liquid medicine inside the suction cup 23 by observing the volume scale 231, without the need for additional measuring tools, effectively simplifying the operation process and improving ease of use.

[0040] Please see Figure 8 As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the liquid reservoir 1 includes a liquid storage box 11 and a placement seat 12, the liquid storage box 11 and the placement seat 12 are fixedly connected, and the liquid storage box 11 is snapped into the rotating disk 31. In this embodiment, the placement seat 12 is made of soft silicone material, which can effectively provide heat insulation protection. The placement seat 12 serves as a support structure for the liquid storage box 11, ensuring the stability and positional accuracy of the liquid storage box 11 in the device.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the liquid storage container 1 includes a temperature sensing rod 13, and a tube 121 is provided on the placement base 12. One end of the temperature sensing rod 13 passes through the tube 121 and is detachably connected to the tube 121. The temperature sensing rod 13 can be removed and used to monitor the water temperature or the temperature of the medicine in the liquid storage box 11 or the grinding box 4 in real time, ensuring that the medicine is stored and administered within a suitable temperature range. In this embodiment, a display screen is provided at the top of the temperature sensing rod 13, which can display the temperature of the water or the medicine.

[0042] Please see Figure 9 As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: including a medicine storage box 5, which is snapped into the end of the grinding box 4 away from the grinding structure 3. The medicine storage box 5 is provided with a number of partitions 51, and each partition 51 divides the medicine storage box 5 into a number of medicine storage spaces 52, so that the user can store different medicines in different medicine storage spaces 52 according to the type, use or dosage requirements of the medicine.

[0043] The working principle of the pediatric medication feeding device in this embodiment is as follows: When not in use, the medication feeder 2 is placed on top of the rotating disk 31, and then the liquid reservoir 1 is inverted and installed on top of the rotating disk 31, thereby integrating the medication feeder 2 with the grinding structure 3 and separating the medication feeder 2 from the outside world; when in use, the medication feeder 2 is first taken out, and then the tablets are put into the grinding box 4, and then the tablets are ground by the grinding blade assembly 33 and the grinding head 321 to make the tablets into powder; then water is filled into the liquid reservoir 1, and the water temperature is measured by the temperature rod 13. After ensuring that the water temperature is suitable, the water is poured into the grinding box 4, and the powder and water in the grinding box 4 can be thoroughly stirred by the temperature rod 13 again. Finally, the medication feeder 2 is used to draw the liquid from the grinding box 4 and give it to the child.

[0044] The pediatric medication feeding device of this embodiment has a reasonable structural design and is easy to use. This structure can also be used for other devices with similar usage requirements. In this embodiment, the pediatric medication feeding device integrates the liquid reservoir 1, the medication feeder 2, the medication grinding structure 3, and the medication grinding box 4 into one unit. Users do not need to find additional containers or tools to grind the tablets and prepare the medication solution, which greatly simplifies the operation process, improves the efficiency and safety of medication feeding, and provides users with a more convenient, practical, and user-friendly experience.
