Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet drug technology, specifically a sustained-release device for pet drugs. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in pet ownership, pet health management has become a key focus for pet-owning families and the pet medical field. In the treatment of chronic diseases and long-term medication management in pets, many drugs need to be administered in a long-term and continuous manner.

[0003] Oral tablets and capsules are easily rejected by pets due to resistance, such as difficulty swallowing or spitting out the medicine after chewing, leading to inaccurate dosage. Although injection can control the dosage, it requires frequent trips to the veterinary hospital or operation by professionals, which not only increases the pet's stress response but also cannot meet the long-term sustained-release medication needs at home. Most simple medication devices on the market are "single-pump" structures and lack sustained-release functions. Even if some devices claim to have sustained-release capabilities, they still have problems such as strong foreign body sensation in pets and difficulty in cleaning and maintenance, making it difficult to adapt to the pet's dynamic physiological state, resulting in low medication efficiency and poor pet compliance in actual use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sustained-release device for pet medication, which has the advantages of continuous medication delivery and easy disassembly and cleaning, thus solving the problem that most ordinary medication delivery devices in the prior art are for single-use medication and are not easy to disassemble and clean.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0012] It is worth noting that the ball head and ball bowl allow the feeding tube to swing in all directions, which can be placed into the pet's mouth to administer medication. The feeding tube can swing according to the pet's oral cavity condition when the pet breathes or chews, reducing the feeling of a foreign object.

[0013] Preferably, the dispensing end of the fixed tube is connected to the inlet end of the feeding tube via a pipe, and the lower outer wall of the feeding tube is provided with several dispensing nozzles spaced equidistantly from front to back.

[0014] It is worth noting that multiple dispensing nozzles can deliver medication into the pet's mouth, allowing for slow and continuous administration and achieving a sustained-release effect.

[0015] Preferably, each of the dispensing nozzles is fixedly equipped with a one-way valve, and the outer wall of the feeding tube is fitted with a protective pad.

[0016] It is worth noting that the one-way valve allows only medication to flow from the dispensing nozzle, preventing foreign objects from entering the feeding tube through the nozzle. This facilitates cleaning and disinfection of the feeding tube.

An adjusting cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed cylinder 401. A limiting cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to the front end of the adjusting cylinder 402. The limiting cylinder 403 is conical and shrinks evenly from back to front. The end of the conveying pipe 3 is located inside the limiting cylinder 403. A movable cylinder 404 is threadedly installed on the inner wall of the adjusting cylinder 402. The outer wall of the movable cylinder 404 is in contact with and abuts against the inner wall of the conveying pipe 3. The outer wall of the conveying pipe 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 403.

[0031] The fixed cover 101 can be fixed to the pet's head. The delivery device 103 can deliver the medicine through the delivery tube 3 into the feeding component 2. The feeding component 2 can guide the medicine into the pet's mouth for continuous and slow feeding to achieve a slow-release effect. The delivery tube 3 can be connected to the delivery device 103 and the feeding component 2 through the connecting component 4. Rotating the movable cylinder 404 can make the outer wall of the movable cylinder 404 fit against the inner wall of the delivery tube 3. With the help of the limiting cylinder 403, the delivery tube 3 can be clamped and fixed to ensure the stability and sealing of the connection. The conical limiting cylinder 403 and the movable cylinder 404 can make the connecting component 4 adapt to clamping delivery tubes 3 with different inner diameters. The appropriate inner diameter of the delivery tube 3 can be selected according to the needs of drug delivery, which improves the flexibility of use. Rotating the fixed cylinder 401 can fix one end of the delivery tube 3 into the corresponding delivery end or the inlet end, which is convenient for disassembling or connecting the delivery tube 3 and for subsequent cleaning and maintenance.

[0032] Please see Figure 2A medicine bottle 104 is threadedly installed at the rear end of the conveying device 103. The medicine outlet of the medicine bottle 104 is connected to the medicine inlet of the conveying device 103. The medicine bottle 104 can supply medicine to the conveying device 103. The conveying device 103 can slowly transport the medicine in the medicine bottle 104 into the conveying pipe 3, and then into the feeding component 2 to continuously feed medicine to the pet. A fixing strap 102 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the fixing cover 101. The fixing strap 102 can limit and fix the fixing cover 101 to the pet's head, prevent the fixing cover 101 from falling off due to the pet shaking, improve the fixing firmness of the fixing cover 101, and thus improve the stability of the feeding during operation.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 The medication feeding assembly 2 also includes a ball head 202 fixed to the rear end of the fixed tube 201. A ball bowl 203 is nested on the outer wall of the ball head 202. A medication feeding tube 204 is fixed to the rear end of the ball bowl 203. The medication feeding tube 204 is a flexible tube. The medication feeding tube 204 can be swung in all directions by the ball head 202 and the ball bowl 203. The medication feeding tube 204 can be placed into the pet's mouth to feed the pet medicine. The medication feeding tube 204 can swing according to the pet's oral cavity condition when the pet breathes or chews, reducing the feeling of a foreign object. The drug outlet end of the fixed tube 201 and the drug inlet end of the medication feeding tube 204 are connected by a pipe. Several drug outlet nozzles 205 with equal front and rear distances are opened on the lower outer wall of the medication feeding tube 204. The medication can be introduced into the pet's oral cavity through the multiple drug outlet nozzles 205 to slowly and continuously feed the pet medicine, achieving a slow-release medication effect.

[0034] Each dispensing nozzle 205 is fixedly equipped with a one-way valve, and the outer wall of the feeding tube 204 is fitted with a protective pad 206. The one-way valve allows only medication to flow out of the dispensing nozzle 205, preventing foreign objects from entering the feeding tube 204 through the dispensing nozzle 205, and facilitating the cleaning and disinfection of the feeding tube 204. The protective pad 206 can be adapted to the shape of the pet's mouth and protects the feeding tube 204 from being chewed and damaged by the pet.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 A sealing ring 405 is fixed to the outer edge of the movable cylinder 404. The outer wall of the sealing ring 405 fits tightly against the inner wall of the delivery pipe 3. The sealing ring 405 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the delivery pipe 3, further improving the reliability of the connection between the delivery pipe 3 and the connecting component 4, reducing drug leakage, and improving safety.

[0036] Working principle: First, the fixing cover 101 is fixed to the pet's head by the fixing strap 102 to prevent the fixing cover 101 from falling off due to the pet shaking; the groove 105 at the front end of the fixing cover 101 is used to install the fixing tube 201 in the feeding component 2, so as to realize the stable connection between the feeding component 2 and the fixing cover 101. The medicine bottle 104 containing medicine is installed at the rear end of the conveying device 103 by thread, so that the medicine outlet end of the medicine bottle 104 is connected to the medicine inlet end pipe of the conveying device 103. The medicine bottle 104 provides a continuous supply of medicine to the conveying device 103, ensuring that the medicine is sufficient during the feeding process.

[0037] The conveying device 103 is the core of the drug delivery system. Its specific structure includes a micro drive motor, a spiral conveying screw connected to the motor output shaft, a cylindrical conveying cavity, a front end of which is connected to the fixed cylinder 401 of the connecting component 4, and a rear end which is connected to the medicine bottle 104 through a threaded interface. A diluent interface is provided on the side wall of the conveying cavity. An external water tank is placed on the ground nearby. The diluent interface is connected to the external water tank through a food-grade silicone conduit to control the dilution ratio. A micro electromagnetic control valve is provided on the conduit. A micro control board is integrated on the top, and the drug delivery rate can be set by pressing buttons.

[0038] Select a delivery pipe 3 with a suitable inner diameter according to the needs of drug delivery, so that both ends of the delivery pipe 3 extend into the corresponding limiting cylinder 403 respectively; then rotate the movable cylinder 404 on the inner wall of the adjusting cylinder 402 so that the outer wall of the movable cylinder 404 fits and presses against the inner wall of the delivery pipe 3, and works with the limiting cylinder 403 to clamp and fix the delivery pipe 3. At the same time, the sealing ring 405 on the outer edge of the movable cylinder 404 fits and presses against the inner wall of the delivery pipe 3, further improving the sealing of the connection and reducing drug leakage. The delivery pipe 3 is connected to the delivery equipment 103 and the drug feeding assembly 2 through the connecting component 4. The fixing cylinder 401 is threadedly installed on the drug outlet end of the delivery equipment 103 and the drug inlet end of the fixing pipe 201 respectively.

[0039] When the delivery device 103 is activated, it slowly delivers the medication from the medicine bottle 104 into the delivery tube 3. The medication flows through the delivery tube 3 into the fixed tube 201 of the feeding assembly 2, and then connects to the feeding tube 204 via the fixed tube 201, entering the feeding tube 204. Because the front end of the feeding tube 204 is nested with the ball head 202 and the ball bowl 203, it is easy to insert the feeding tube 204 into the pet's mouth. Furthermore, the feeding tube 204 can flexibly swing according to the pet's oral cavity conditions when breathing or chewing, reducing the risk of foreign objects in the pet. The protective pad 206 on the outer wall of the feeding tube 204 can be adapted to the shape of the pet's mouth, while preventing the pet from biting and damaging the feeding tube 204. The medicine in the feeding tube 204 flows slowly into the pet's mouth through several equally spaced dispensing nozzles 205 on the lower outer wall, achieving continuous slow-release medication. The one-way valve fixed inside the dispensing nozzle 205 only allows the medicine to flow out of the feeding tube 204, which can prevent foreign objects in the pet's mouth from entering the feeding tube 204 through the dispensing nozzle 205, and facilitates subsequent cleaning and disinfection of the feeding tube 204.
