Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of infant dosing devices, and particularly to a nipple device for dosing.
Background Art
[0002] As an instrument often used for feeding infants, the nipple device of a feeding bottle is mainly used to contain liquids such as milk, water, and beverages for infants to suck. The device has a simple structure and convenience in use, and can adapt to the sucking habits of infants, so it is an essential item during the growth process of infants. It is inevitable that medicine needs to be administered due to illness during the growth process of infants. However, since infants have low ability to take medicine by themselves and poor cooperation, directly administering medicine is likely to cause situations such as refusal, crying, choking, etc. A method to safely and smoothly administer medicine to infants has always been a concern of parents and doctors.
[0003] Currently, most ordinary nipple devices and dosing instruments have independent structures and cannot be used while combined. A single dosing instrument has low acceptance by infants due to complicated operations. However, currently, some of the nipple devices for dosing can only send the medicine directly into the mouth of the infant, and the medicine cannot be pre-mixed and diluted with water and milk in the nipple device. Therefore, when a medicine with a high concentration and a pungent taste is directly sent into the mouth of an infant, it will cause disgust and resistance in the infant, and is likely to cause phenomena such as vomiting and anorexia. Moreover, problems such as drug residue and inconvenience in cleaning the pipeline also affect the safety and convenience of use.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes a nipple device for dosing to solve the above problems.
Summary of the Invention

[Figure 3] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the present invention. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the present invention. Forms for implementing a utility model
[0015] We will now clearly and completely describe the technical means in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments that a person skilled in the art could obtain without expending creative labor based on the embodiments of the present invention are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] As shown in Figure 1-4, the technical means of the present invention is that the drug dispensing nipple device has a baby bottle connecting lid 1 and a nipple part 2, the sucking end of the nipple part 2 penetrates the baby bottle connecting lid 1 and extends to the top of the baby bottle connecting lid 1, a connecting tube 5 is provided on the outside of the nipple part 2, one end of the connecting tube 5 that approaches the nipple part 2 communicates with a drug dispensing tube 4, the other end of the connecting tube 5 that moves away from the drug dispensing tube 4 is connected to a syringe for drug injection, the other end of the drug dispensing tube 4 that moves away from the connecting tube 5 penetrates the side wall of the nipple part 2 and communicates with the nipple part 2, a sucking hole 3 is provided at the sucking end of the nipple part 2, a cleaning structure is further provided on the connecting tube 5, a partition plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the nipple part 2 and a mixing cavity is formed between the nipple part 2 and the partition plate 9.
[0017] By providing multiple cross-shaped openings 10 on the partition plate 9, negative pressure is generated in the mixing cavity when an infant sucks, causing the cross-shaped openings 10 to open under the pressure of the sucking force. When the infant is not sucking, the cross-shaped openings 10 close naturally, effectively preventing leakage of milk.
[0018] One end of the dispensing tube 4, which is detached from the connecting tube 5, is connected to the mixing cavity. When administering medication, a syringe containing the drug is connected to the connecting tube 5, and the syringe is slowly pushed while the infant is drinking water, so that the drug is sequentially sent through the connecting tube 5 and the dispensing tube 4 to the mixing cavity. Water or milk continuously flowing from the baby bottle into the mixing cavity is mixed with the injected drug and thoroughly mixed and diluted within the cavity, and then delivered to the infant's mouth through the suction hole 3, so that the high concentration of the drug does not directly irritate the oral cavity.
[0019] The cleaning structure has a cleaning tube 7 communicating with the connecting tube 5. One end of the cleaning tube 7 away from the connecting tube 5 penetrates the side wall of the nipple part 2 and communicates with the nipple part 2. A one-way valve 8 is provided in the cleaning tube 7, and the communication part between the cleaning tube 7 and the nipple part 2 is located on one side of the partition plate 9 away from the mixing cavity. After the drug injection is completed, if the infant continues to suck, under the action of the negative pressure generated inside the nipple part 2, a part of the liquid in the feeding bottle enters the connecting tube 5 and the medicine injection tube 4 through the cleaning tube 7, washes away the drug remaining on the inner wall of the pipeline, sucks the remaining drug into the mixing cavity and mixes it with the main liquid, and then administers the medicine, realizing the self-cleaning of the pipeline and preventing the residue of the drug.
[0020] A sealing cap 6 is connected to the connecting tube 5 through a flexible connecting string. The sealing cap 6 fits the port of the connecting tube 5 away from the medicine injection tube 4. After cleaning using the device, the connecting tube 5 is sealed using the sealing cap 6, thereby preventing dust from entering the connecting tube 5.
[0021] The operating principle of the present invention is as follows. [[ID=⑨]]
[0022] During use, the feeding bottle connection cap 1 is hermetically connected to a normal feeding bottle, and drinking water or milk water is pre-filled in the feeding bottle. When the infant sucks, the liquid in the feeding bottle enters the mixing cavity through the cross-cut 10 on the partition plate 9 under the action of negative pressure, is sucked into the infant's mouth through the sucking hole 3, and normal water or milk water is consumed.
[0023] During medicine administration, a syringe containing the drug is connected to the connecting tube 5. While the infant is sucking water, the syringe is slowly pushed, and the drug is sequentially sent to the mixing cavity through the connecting tube 5 and the medicine injection tube 4. The continuously incoming water or milk water from the feeding bottle into the mixing cavity is sufficiently mixed and diluted with the injected drug in the mixing cavity, and then sent to the infant's mouth through the sucking hole 3 to prevent the high-concentration drug from directly stimulating the oral cavity.
[0024] After the injection of the medicine is completed, if the infant continues to suckle, under the action of the negative pressure generated inside the nipple part 2, a part of the liquid in the feeding bottle enters the connecting pipe 5 and the medicine injection pipe 4 through the cleaning pipe 7, washes away the medicine remaining on the inner wall of the pipeline, sucks the remaining medicine into the cavity and mixes it with the main liquid, and then administers the medicine, realizing the self-cleaning of the pipeline, preventing the residue of the medicine, and ensuring sufficient medication and hygienic safety. When using the cleaning pipe 7, do not remove the syringe and prevent external air from entering the medicine injection pipe 4. After cleaning using the device, use the sealing cover 6 to seal the connecting pipe 5, thereby preventing dust from entering the connecting pipe 5.
[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have already been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
