Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine dropper technology, specifically a medicine dropper for children. Background Technology

[0002] After diagnosing a child patient, pediatricians using both traditional Chinese and Western medicine sometimes prescribe oral medications for treatment. Parents then prepare the medication by mixing it with water to form a solution, which they then feed to the child. However, because the solution is usually bitter, children are often unwilling to take it.

[0003] According to a search, Chinese patent document, publication number CN221787417U, discloses a liquid medicine feeding device. Through a partitioned structural design, it can simultaneously feed different liquid medicines, or mix liquid medicines with sugar water, milk, etc., reducing resistance from children during liquid medicine feeding. An attention-attracting mechanism is included to distract children during the feeding process, ensuring a smooth feeding procedure.

[0004] However, in actual operation, the above-mentioned feeding device mixes the medicine with sugar water and milk before the medicine enters the child's intestines, which can reduce the efficacy of the medicine. In addition, the overall structure requires pushing a piston rod, making it difficult to control the amount of medicine to be dripped in. Utility Model Content

[0005] Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a children's medicine feeding dropper, which has the advantages of assisting and inducing children to feed medicine, separating the medicine and auxiliary liquid to avoid mixing, and making the overall structure easy to disassemble and clean, thus solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a children's medicine feeding dropper, comprising a medicine storage tube, an auxiliary tube threadedly connected to the top of the medicine storage tube, an end cap threadedly connected to the top of the auxiliary tube, a dropper head embedded inside the end cap, a dividing piece fixedly connected inside the dropper head, and two circular slot holes opened at the bottom of the dropper head, with a straw head engaged in the two circular slot holes, a first straw fixedly connected to the bottom of one straw head, a second straw fixedly connected to the bottom of the other straw head, a gravity ball fixedly connected to the bottom of the second straw, two liquid outlet holes opened on the outer surface of the dropper head, and a protective cap inserted into the outer surface of the end cap.

[0007] Preferably, the auxiliary tube includes a docking ring integrally connected to the bottom, the docking ring being threadedly connected to the drug storage tube, and both the drug storage tube and the auxiliary tube are made of food-grade silicone.

[0008] Preferably, the wall thickness of the drug storage tube and the auxiliary tube is two millimeters, and the outer surface of the drug storage tube and the auxiliary tube is provided with milliliter scale lines.

[0009] The above technical solution uses a storage tube to hold the medication and an auxiliary tube to hold a supplementary liquid, such as milk or sugar water, to help children take the medication. Both the storage tube and the auxiliary tube have milliliter graduations on their outer surfaces, allowing users to easily control the dosage. Both the storage tube and the auxiliary tube are made of silicone tubular material with a wall thickness of two millimeters, making it easy to squeeze them during feeding to dispense the medication or supplementary liquid. The two-millimeter wall thickness also provides some rigidity, preventing the dropper from collapsing when placed in its place. During feeding, the dropper tip is aligned with the child's mouth, and the storage tube is gently squeezed. Because the dropper is inverted,... The medicine inside the reservoir tube flows into the first straw, then through the straw tip into the dropper head, and finally out through the dispensing hole into the child's mouth. If the child rejects the medicine, the auxiliary liquid, such as milk, is squeezed into the gravity ball by squeezing the auxiliary tube. It then flows through the second straw and a connected straw tip into the dropper head, and finally out through another dispensing hole, thus allowing the milk to flow into the child's mouth. This can encourage the child to accept the medicine. The dispensing step can be done before the medicine dispensing step, which is more acceptable to the child. Furthermore, a divider is installed inside the dropper head to separate the dropper head into two spaces, thus preventing the medicine from mixing with the auxiliary liquid.

[0010] Preferably, the two liquid outlet holes are symmetrically opened along the dividing plate on the outer surface of the dropper head, and the outer surface of the dropper head is provided with an annular groove, which is engaged with the end cap.

[0011] With the above technical solution, the two liquid outlets form an "8" shape when dispensing liquid simultaneously, so that the liquid discharged from either outlet will not rush directly into the throat, thus avoiding choking during drip feeding. The first and second straws can be pulled out by unscrewing the end cap. Since the straw tips are also made of food-grade silicone, they can be pulled out from inside the circular slot. The end cap and the dropper head are also snap-fitted and can be disassembled. The medicine storage tube and the docking ring are threaded, which allows the medicine storage tube to be separated from the auxiliary tube. The entire dropper structure is detachable, which facilitates cleaning.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the first straw is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the auxiliary tube, and the top of the straw head is provided with a right angle.

[0013] With the above technical solution, by setting a right angle at the top of the straw head to make it easy to align with the circular slot hole and press it, the straw head can be inserted into the circular slot hole. This makes it easy to connect the dropper head with straw number one and straw number two.

[0014] Preferably, the upper surfaces of the dropper head and the end cap each have two vent holes, the upper surface of the end cap has a semi-circular groove, and the outer surface of the dropper head is fixedly connected to a semi-circular positioning block.

[0015] The above technical solution allows for the removal of air from the drug storage tube and auxiliary tube during drip feeding by opening vent holes, thus facilitating liquid dispensing. A semi-circular positioning block on the outer surface of the dropper head fits into the semi-circular groove, ensuring that the vent holes on the dropper head and the end cap overlap after the dropper head and end cap are assembled, preventing the vent holes from overlapping and becoming blocked.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a dropper for feeding children's medicine, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model features an auxiliary tube for injecting supplementary liquids such as milk or sugar water. When a child rejects the medicine, the auxiliary tube can be squeezed first to allow the supplementary liquid to flow into the dropper head and be expelled into the child's mouth, thus acting as an inducement. Then, the medicine can be dripped in, increasing the likelihood of the child accepting the medicine. Furthermore, the dropper head is equipped with a divider to separate it into two spaces, preventing the medicine from mixing with the supplementary liquid. At the same time, the liquid discharged from the two outlets will not rush directly into the throat, reducing the risk of choking and making the medicine feeding process smoother and easier for children to cooperate in completing the medicine feeding.

[0017] 2. This utility model features a separable drug storage tube and auxiliary tube connected by threads. The end cap and dropper head, as well as the circular locking holes of the straw head and dropper head, are all snap-fit, making them easy to disassemble. After use, each component can be easily disassembled, allowing for thorough cleaning of every corner inside the dropper. This effectively prevents the growth of bacteria from residual medication and auxiliary solutions, ensuring the hygiene of the dropper and making it safer and more reliable for future use. This provides strong protection for children's healthy medication use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 A children's medicine feeding dropper includes a medicine storage tube 1, an auxiliary tube 2 threadedly connected to the top of the medicine storage tube 1, an end cap 3 threadedly connected to the top of the auxiliary tube 2, a dropper head 4 embedded inside the end cap 3, a dividing piece 5 fixedly connected inside the dropper head 4, and two circular slot holes 6 opened at the bottom of the dropper head 4. A straw head 7 is locked in the two circular slot holes 6. A first straw 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one straw head 7, and a second straw 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other straw head 7. A gravity ball 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second straw 9. Two liquid outlet holes 11 are opened on the outer surface of the dropper head 4, and a protective cap 12 is inserted into the outer surface of the end cap 3.

[0022] Specifically, the auxiliary tube 2 includes a docking ring 13 integrally connected to the bottom, which is threadedly connected to the drug storage tube 1. Both the drug storage tube 1 and the auxiliary tube 2 are made of food-grade silicone.

[0023] Specifically, the wall thickness of the medicine reservoir 1 and the auxiliary tube 2 is two millimeters, and both the medicine reservoir 1 and the auxiliary tube 2 have milliliter graduations on their outer surfaces. The advantages are that the medicine reservoir 1 is used to hold the medication, and the auxiliary tube 2 is used to hold supplementary fluids, such as milk or sugar water, to help children take the medication. The milliliter graduations on both the medicine reservoir 1 and the auxiliary tube 2 make it easy for users to control the dosage. The two-millimeter-thick silicone tubes make it easy to squeeze and dispense the medication or supplementary fluid during feeding, and the two-millimeter wall thickness provides some rigidity, preventing the dropper from collapsing. When feeding, the dropper head 4 is aligned with the child's mouth, and then the medicine reservoir 1 is gently squeezed. Because the dropper is inverted, the contents of the medicine reservoir 1... The medicine will flow into the first straw 8, then through the straw head 7 into the dropper head 4, and finally be squeezed out from the outlet 11 into the child's mouth. If the child rejects the medicine, the auxiliary liquid, such as milk, inside the auxiliary tube 2 will be squeezed into the gravity ball 10, then through the second straw 9 and the straw head 7 connected to it into the dropper head 4, and then discharged from the other outlet 11. In this way, the milk flows into the child's mouth, which can induce the child to accept it. The step of dripping the medicine can be done before the step of dripping the medicine, which is conducive to the child's acceptance. Furthermore, a dividing piece 5 is set inside the dropper head 4 to divide the dropper head 4 into two spaces, thus preventing the medicine and auxiliary liquid from mixing together.

[0024] Specifically, two liquid outlets 11 are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the dropper head 4 along the dividing plate 5. An annular groove is provided on the outer surface of the dropper head 4, and the annular groove is engaged with the end cap 3. The advantage is that when the two liquid outlets 11 are dispensing liquid simultaneously, they form an "eight" shape, so the liquid discharged from either outlet 11 will not rush directly into the throat, thus avoiding choking during drip feeding. By unscrewing the end cap 3, the first pipette 8 and the second pipette 9 can be pulled out. Since the pipette head 7 is also made of food-grade silicone, it can be pulled out from inside the circular groove hole 6. The end cap 3 is also engaged with the dropper head 4 and can be disassembled. The medicine storage tube 1 and the connecting ring 13 are threaded together, which allows the medicine storage tube 1 to be separated from the auxiliary tube 2. The entire dropper structure is detachable, which facilitates cleaning.

[0025] Specifically, the bottom of straw 8 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of auxiliary tube 2, and the top of straw head 7 is inverted at a right angle. The advantage is that by inverting the right angle at the top of straw head 7, it is easy to align it with the circular slot hole 6 and press it to make straw head 7 snap into the inside of the circular slot hole 6. This makes it easy to connect dropper head 4 with straw 8 and straw 9.

[0026] Specifically, both the dropper head 4 and the end cap 3 have two vent holes 14 on their upper surfaces, and the end cap 3 has a semi-circular groove 15 on its upper surface. A semi-circular positioning block 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the dropper head 4. The advantage is that the vent holes 14 facilitate the expulsion of air from the medicine storage tube 1 and the auxiliary tube 2 during dripping, thus facilitating liquid dispensing. The semi-circular positioning block 16 on the outer surface of the dropper head 4 fits into the semi-circular groove 15, so that after the dropper head 4 and the end cap 3 are assembled, the vent holes 14 on the dropper head 4 and the end cap 3 overlap, preventing the vent holes 14 from overlapping and becoming blocked.

[0027] When using the medication, first, inject the liquid into the storage tube 1 and determine the dosage according to the milliliter scale on the outer surface of the storage tube 1. If there is a supplementary liquid to help children take the medication, such as milk or sugar water, inject it into the auxiliary tube 2 and control the amount according to the scale. Then, invert the dropper and aim the dropper head 4 at the child's mouth. If the child does not reject the liquid, gently squeeze the storage tube 1 to allow the liquid to flow through the first pipette 8, the pipette head 7 into the dropper head 4 and into the child's mouth through the dispensing hole 11. If the child rejects the liquid, first squeeze the auxiliary tube 2 to allow the supplementary liquid to flow through the gravity ball 10, the second pipette 9, the pipette head 7 into the dropper head 4 and into the child's mouth through the other dispensing hole 11 to induce acceptance, and then drip the liquid into the child's mouth. After use, unscrew the end cap 3, pull out the first pipette 8 and the second pipette 9, separate the end cap 3 from the dropper head 4 and the storage tube 1 from the auxiliary tube 2, and clean each part.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
