老年人吃饭助嚼器的设计与研究

Design and Research of Food Chewing Assistors for Elderly Individuals

摘要

对于牙齿不好的老年人吃飯，需要有助嚼器具协助，才能吃的舒服完美。国内市场及所有牙科、口腔医院、综合医院没有一款专门为协助老年人、口腔伤病人吃饭咀嚼的适用的器具。现有的搅拌机、粉碎机均不适合老年人、伤病员吃饭使用。本文，老年人吃饭助嚼器是模仿人类牙齿撕碎食物功能及咀嚼功能。用不锈钢及高强塑料制成的复合功能机具。这种“老年人吃饭助嚼器”能使老年人与年轻人坐在一个饭桌上吃饭。通过助嚼器协助，老年人，口腔病患者及伤病员也能正常的吃各种食物。这确实是一个造福人类的器具。

Abstract

For elderly individuals with dental issues, using chewing aids is essential to ensure they can eat comfortably and satisfactorily. In the domestic market, as well as in all dental clinics, oral healthcare facilities, and general hospitals, there is no specialized utensil designed specifically to assist elderly individuals or patients with oral injuries in eating and chewing. Existing mixers and crushers are not suitable for use by the elderly, injured, or ill patients. This article introduces the “Elderly Meal Chewing Aid,” which mimics the human teeth’s function of tearing food apart and performing chewing actions; it is a multifunctional device constructed from stainless steel and high-strength plastic. This “Elderly Meal Chewing Aid” enables elderly individuals to dine alongside younger people at the same dining table. With the assistance of this aid, elderly people, patients with oral diseases, and injured or ill individuals can also consume various types of food normally. This device truly represents an innovation that benefits humanity.
