Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assistive feeding tools, specifically a feeding device for swallowing disorders. Background Technology

[0002] In neurological clinical nursing, dysphagia is a common complication for patients with stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's syndrome, and traumatic brain injury. Due to neurological impairment, these patients experience decreased coordination of their swallowing muscles, making them prone to aspiration and choking when eating independently. In severe cases, this can lead to life-threatening risks such as aspiration pneumonia and suffocation. Furthermore, difficulty eating can cause malnutrition and dehydration, hindering the patient's recovery process.

[0003] However, existing feeding devices for swallowing disorders have the following drawbacks: (1) Most existing feeders are designed with a fixed capacity, which makes it inconvenient to flexibly adjust the amount of liquid food fed each time according to the patient's swallowing ability and dietary needs; (2) The feeding parts of the feeder are mostly fixedly connected to the main body or have a structure that is difficult to disassemble, making it difficult to clean and disinfect after use.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a feeding device for swallowing disorders. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feeding device for swallowing disorders, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the fact that existing feeding devices are mostly designed with fixed capacity, making it inconvenient to flexibly adjust the amount of liquid food fed each time according to the patient's swallowing ability and dietary needs, and that the feeding components and the main body of the feeding device are mostly fixedly connected or have a structure that is inconvenient to disassemble, making it difficult to clean and disinfect after use.

A return spring is sleeved on the surface of the first insert rod, and one side of the return spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lever. The return spring facilitates the insertion of the insert block into the slot. A limiting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting frame, and a piston rod is fixedly installed at the upper end of the limiting plate. The piston rod facilitates the suction of liquid food into the inner cylinder. The disassembly assembly includes an installation head, a first rotating shaft, a torsion spring, a locking block, a pressure plate, and a spoon head. The installation head is fixedly installed on one side of the inner cylinder. The first rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation head. A torsion spring is sleeved on the surface of the first rotating shaft. A locking block is fixedly installed on one end of the torsion spring. One side of the locking block is rotatably connected to the surface of the first rotating shaft. A pressure plate is movably connected to one side of the locking block.

[0007] Optionally, the inner wall of the mounting rod is provided with a sliding groove, and one side of the mounting rod is provided with slots that are compatible with the insert block. The slots play a role in limiting and fixing the limiting frame by cooperating with the insert block.

[0008] Optionally, the upper end of the inner cylinder is provided with an insertion hole that matches the piston rod, and a piston plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the piston rod. The piston plate facilitates the sucking of liquid food into the inner cylinder.

[0009] (III) Beneficial Effects This utility model provides a feeding device for swallowing disorders, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This swallowing disorder care feeder, through the adjustment of the component settings, allows the user to adjust the feeding mechanism according to the patient's dietary needs. By pulling the levers to both sides, the feeder slides on the first insert rod, compressing the return spring and simultaneously pulling the insert out of the slot. Then, the limiting frame moves up or down according to the dietary needs, while the limiting frame slides on the limiting plate. After moving to the designated position, releasing the lever resets the return spring and causes the insert to re-insert into the slot, fixing the limiting frame in place. Then, the piston rod is moved, and the liquid food is sucked into the inner cylinder through the installation head. After a certain amount is sucked in, the limiting plate prevents excessive intake.

[0010] 2. This swallowing disorder care feeder, through the design of the disassembly components, allows the spoon head to be directly inserted into the mounting head after the liquid food has been sucked in. At the same time, the locking block rotates on the first rotating shaft and stretches the torsion spring. When it moves to the pressure plate, the torsion spring resets, thereby driving the locking block to lock onto one side of the pressure plate, thus installing the spoon head. Then, the piston rod is pushed to squeeze the liquid food into the spoon head for feeding. After feeding, the pressure plate is pressed down to disassemble the spoon head for cleaning.
