Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medication feeders, specifically a medication feeder for mental patients. Background Technology
[0002] During an episode of mental illness, patients often lack the awareness and ability to take medication independently. Conventional medication feeders are open, which can easily lead to spillage and waste when administering solid medications. They may also cause dangerous situations due to patient resistance. The depth of insertion into the mouth cannot be limited during medication administration, and the feeder cannot be opened quickly after insertion and administered rapidly.
[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a medication feeder for psychiatric patients to address the problems raised. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a medication feeder for mental patients.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A medication feeder for mental patients includes a shell with an open side. The shell has an inner chamber and a square outer chamber from the inside to the outside, and is designed in a stepped shape. A push rod is inserted into the shell on the side near the inner chamber, and a spring is sleeved on the push rod to move the push rod towards the outer chamber.
[0007] The inner and outer chambers of the outer casing are connected by a side groove. An L-shaped plate is slidably installed in the side groove. The vertical part of the L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the side of the push rod. A gear one is rotatably installed in the side groove via a rotating shaft. The gear one meshes with the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate. A gear two is rotatably installed at the position where the outer chamber and the side groove are connected via a rotating shaft. The gear two meshes with the gear one. A baffle is fixedly installed on the side of the gear two.
[0008] A deformable bending frame is fixedly installed on the side of the outer shell. A slot communicating with the outer chamber is provided at the corresponding position of the outer shell. The bending frame is provided with two arc-shaped bending parts, one of which extends to the outer chamber. A contact plate is fixedly installed at the other end of the bending frame.
[0009] When the baffle is rotated to a position perpendicular to the push rod, it can cover the inner chamber, and the arc-shaped part of the curved frame inside the outer chamber limits the position of the baffle.
[0010] Preferably, the baffle is in a horizontal position and is in contact with one side of the inner wall of the outer chamber.
[0011] Preferably, the side of the baffle away from the second gear is configured as an arc surface, and the arc surface and the arc-shaped bending part located in the inner frame of the outer chamber are a mating structure.
[0012] Preferably, the contact plate is provided with an arc-shaped rod on the side near the inner chamber, and one end of the arc-shaped rod is bent toward the outer shell and does not contact the outer shell.
[0013] Preferably, when the baffle is rotated to a position perpendicular to the push rod, the L-shaped plate is located at the end of the stroke within the side groove.
[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0015] 1. When the push rod is pulled, the baffle rotates from a horizontal state to a state perpendicular to the push rod through the transmission of the L-shaped plate, gear one and gear two. The arc-shaped bending part of the bending frame is deformed outward after being squeezed by the arc surface of the baffle. Then the baffle passes over the arc-shaped bending part, which limits the baffle and covers the inner chamber to prevent the medicine from falling out during feeding.
[0016] 2. When administering medication, insert the outer shell into the patient's mouth. The contact plate contacts the patient's lips and teeth, which limits the depth of insertion into the patient's mouth and prevents discomfort caused by excessive insertion. After the contact plate is squeezed, the bending frame deforms outward, and the spring acts on the push rod to push the medication outward. At the same time, the baffle opens quickly, making it convenient to quickly deliver the medication into the patient's mouth.
[0017] 3. An arc-shaped rod is provided on the side of the contact plate near the inner chamber, and one end of the arc-shaped rod bends toward the outer shell without contacting the outer shell. This can support the contact plate after it is squeezed, preventing the bending frame from being damaged by excessive deformation. Attached Figure Description

[0024] A medication feeder for mental patients, in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer shell 1 has an open side. The outer shell 1 has an inner chamber and an outer chamber from the inside to the outside. The outer chamber is square and has a stepped design. The vertical cross section of the outer chamber is larger than that of the inner chamber. A push rod 2 is inserted on the side of the outer shell 1 near the inner chamber. Medicine can be placed in the inner chamber and pushed out by the push rod 2 or tilted out of the outer shell 1.
[0025] exist Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle: A spring 3 is sleeved on the push rod 2 to move the push rod 2 towards the outer chamber. The inner chamber and outer chamber of the outer casing 1 are connected by a side groove. An L-shaped plate 4 is slidably installed in the side groove. The vertical part of the L-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the push rod 2. The L-shaped plate 4 and the push rod 2 can move synchronously along the inner chamber direction, which facilitates the control of the L-shaped plate 4.
[0026] exist Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle section: Gear 5 is rotatably installed in the side groove via a rotating shaft. Gear 5 meshes with the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate 4. Gear 9 is rotatably installed at the connection between the outer chamber and the side groove via a rotating shaft.
