[0002] Critical care nursing provides continuous monitoring, organ function support, complication prevention, and basic nursing care for critically ill patients with unstable vital signs. In critical care nursing, some critically ill patients are unable to swallow on their own and need to have their medications crushed and administered through nasogastric tubes, gastric tubes, or other routes. When crushing the medications, medication crushing equipment is required. The medications are placed in a crusher, and the crushing blades inside the crusher rotate at high speed driven by a motor to crush the medications. The crushed medications are then poured out of the crusher.
[0003] Commonly used medication crushing devices for critical care typically have a one-piece design where the crushing cylinder and base are integrated. However, hospitals often require the crushing of medications for different types of critically ill patients. Each type of medication requires cleaning before crushing. The one-piece design makes the crusher heavy, and the internal components, such as the motor, cannot get wet. Therefore, the ease of cleaning the crusher needs improvement. This application provides a medication crushing device for critical care to meet these needs. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following is a detailed description of a medication crushing device for intensive care provided by this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments; those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; and the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.
[0020] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a medication crushing device for intensive care, including a base 1 and a drive component 2 fixed within the base 1, and further comprising: The separation component 3 includes a socket 4 fixed to the output end of the drive unit 2, a crushing cylinder 6 mounted on the base 1, a crushing blade 7 rotatably connected inside the crushing cylinder 6, a rod 5 fixed to the bottom of the crushing blade 7, the rod 5 being inserted into the socket 4, the crushing cylinder 6 being snapped into the top of the base 1, and a cylinder cover 9 covering the top of the crushing cylinder 6. The drive unit 2 is a motor that provides a high-speed rotation power source for the crushing blade 7. The separation component 3 achieves the connection and separation of the crushing blade 7 and the drive unit 2 through the insertion and removal of the rod 5 and the socket 4. At the same time, the snap-fit design between the crushing cylinder 6 and the base 1 facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the crushing cylinder 6.
[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown in this embodiment, the plug rod 5 is polygonal, and the shape of the socket 4 is adapted to the shape of the plug rod 5. The polygonal structure makes the connection between the plug rod 5 and the socket 4 more stable, avoids relative rotation after the two are connected, ensures that the power of the drive component 2 can be stably transmitted to the crusher 7, and ensures the stability of the crusher 7 when it rotates at high speed.
[0022] like Figure 2As shown in this embodiment, a retaining strip 16 is fixed to the outer wall of the crushing cylinder 6, and a retaining groove is provided on the top of the base 1. The retaining strip 16 is engaged in the retaining groove. The engagement of the retaining strip 16 and the retaining groove enables the crushing cylinder 6 to be quickly positioned and fixed to the base 1, preventing the crushing cylinder 6 from shaking or shifting due to the high-speed rotation of the crushing blade 7 during the crushing process. At the same time, the retaining structure is easy to disassemble. The crushing cylinder 6 can be separated from the base 1 simply by lifting the crushing cylinder 6 upwards, which facilitates the subsequent deep cleaning of the crushing cylinder 6 and avoids cross-contamination of different drugs.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, a counterweight ring 8 is fixed at the bottom of the crushing cylinder 6. The counterweight ring 8 is located inside the base 1. The counterweight ring 8 increases the weight at the bottom of the crushing cylinder 6 and improves the stability of the crushing process.
[0024] like Figures 2-5 As shown in this embodiment, a cleaning component 15 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder cover 9. The cleaning component 15 includes multiple cleaning rods 10 fixed to the bottom of the cylinder cover 9. Rubber scrapers 11 are fixed on both sides of the cleaning rods 10. The rubber scrapers 11 are attached to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder 6. The cleaning component 15 rotates synchronously with the cylinder cover 9. The cleaning rods 10 provide installation support for the rubber scrapers 11. Because the rubber scrapers 11 are elastic, they can fit tightly to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder 6. When rotating, they can scrape off the powder adhering to the inner wall, avoiding powder waste. At the same time, scraping off the powder in advance can greatly reduce the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the crushing cylinder 6, reduce cleaning time, and improve work efficiency.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, a ring 12 is fixed to the bottom of multiple cleaning rods 10. The top of the ring 12 is a slope, which is used to guide the tablets to move towards the crushing blade 7. The slope structure of the ring 12 can guide the tablets put into the crushing cylinder 6, and quickly guide the tablets to the crushing area of the crushing blade 7, so as to avoid the tablets accumulating at the edge of the crushing cylinder 6 and not being effectively crushed, thereby improving the crushing efficiency. At the same time, the ring 12 connects multiple cleaning rods 10, which enhances the overall structural strength of the cleaning assembly 15 and prevents the cleaning rods 10 from deforming during rotation.
[0026] like Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, the side of the cleaning rod 10 closest to the central axis of the crushing cylinder 6 is an arc-shaped surface, and multiple crushing teeth 13 are fixed on the arc-shaped surface. The side of the crushing teeth 13 away from the arc-shaped surface is V-shaped. The V-shaped crushing teeth 13 can perform secondary shearing and crushing on the tablets splashed after the initial crushing by the crushing blade 7. The V-shaped corner can form a concentrated crushing force, improve the crushing effect, and the multiple crushing structure ensures the fineness of the powder, meeting the requirements of patients in critical care for the particle size of the powder.
[0027] like Figure 5As shown in this embodiment, a crushing disc 14 is fixed on the arc-shaped surface. The crushing disc 14 is fixed on the side of the crushing tooth 13 away from the central axis of the crushing cylinder 6. The crushing disc 14 further crushes and refines the powder that has been crushed twice by the crushing tooth 13, thereby further improving the fineness of the powder and improving the overall crushing efficiency.
[0028] Working principle: Before crushing the medicine, the crushing cylinder 6 is clamped into the slot at the top of the base 1 by the clamping strip 16 on the outer wall. The counterweight ring 8 at the bottom enhances the stability of the crushing cylinder 6. The polygonal insert rod 5 at the bottom of the crushing blade 7 is inserted into the socket 4 to achieve power connection. The cylinder cover 9 is opened and the tablets are put in. After the cover is closed, the drive unit 2 is started. The drive unit 2 drives the crushing blade 7 to rotate at high speed through the socket 4 and the insert rod 5 to crush the tablets. During the crushing process, the inclined surface at the top of the ring 12 guides the tablets to gather at the crushing blade 7, improving the crushing efficiency. After the tablets are crushed, they splash onto the arc-shaped surface of the cleaning rod 10. After the tablets come into contact with the crushing teeth 13, they are further crushed by the V-shaped corner of the crushing teeth 13. The subsequent crushed pieces 14 further refine the tablets, greatly improving the crushing effect and meeting the requirements for the fineness of the powder in critical care. After crushing is completed, turn off the drive unit 2, rotate the cylinder cover 9, so that the cylinder cover 9 drives the cleaning rod 10 to rotate synchronously. The rubber scraper 11 on the cleaning rod 10 rotates along the inner wall of the crushing cylinder 6, thereby scraping off the adhering powder, reducing powder waste and reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning. Then the cylinder cover 9 can be opened to pour out the powder. For deep cleaning, move the crushing cylinder 6 upwards to separate the insert rod 5 from the socket 4. After separation, the crushing cylinder 6 can be completely removed for cleaning. At the same time, the cleaning component 15 can be cleaned.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
