Large granular food feeder for disabled upper limbs and its working method

Abstract

The invention discloses a large granular food feeder for disabled upper limbs and its use method, which mainly includes a cylindrical shell, a cup body, a rubber dial, a driving device and a reciprocating device for twisting the cup body back and forth; The driving device drives the dial wheel to rotate; when the dial wheel rotates, the food leaked from the bottom of the cup body is transferred to the conveying mouth of the shell; the recipient approaches the feeder by himself or is assisted by a manipulator for helping the elderly and the disabled to complete eating. With the aid of the manipulator for helping the elderly and the disabled, the present invention can effectively assist various disabled persons of upper limbs to solve the problem of eating large granular foods, reduce the complexity of operating instructions for the manipulator for helping the elderly and the disabled, and also reduce the various Functional requirements can avoid the inconvenience of using spoons, chopsticks or forks to pick up food and the embarrassment of running, dripping and scattering during the feeding process, and also provide opportunities for people with upper limb disabilities to eat independently.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the application field of helping the elderly and the disabled, in particular to a large granular food feeder suitable for upper limb disabled persons and a working method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, there are some research results on manipulators for assisting the elderly and the disabled in the catering category, and most of them adopt human-computer interactive control methods with some intelligent perception (such as voice recognition, image recognition, object positioning, etc.). However, the current manipulators for helping the elderly and the disabled use more conventional eating tools, such as spoons, chopsticks or forks, etc., which brings a lot of inconvenience to the eating work. Different, the operation methods required in the process of feeding the recipients will vary greatly, and it is difficult to accurately pick up and feed various forms of food with conventional tools; second, food is eas...
