Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of health care equipment technology, specifically a meal dispensing system with the function of precisely controlling protein intake. Background Technology

[0002] Throughout a person's lifespan, diet is the most direct and crucial factor for growth, development, and health. A long-term, regular, and balanced diet, with sufficient nutrients, can maintain and promote health, enhance immunity, and resist various diseases. For patients with kidney disease, a low-protein diet is an important means of nutritional therapy for chronic kidney disease. Controlling protein intake can reduce uremia and toxin accumulation, improve renal hemodynamics, potentially reduce clinical symptoms, slow the dialysis process, and delay the progression of kidney disease. Therefore, precise control of protein intake and correct, scientific implementation of a low-protein diet are essential. Currently, adherence to low-protein diets among CKD patients in my country is not ideal, with a compliance rate of only 48.3%-54.5%. Therefore, using a meal preparation system to control the protein content of food is extremely important.

[0003] Current technology for monitoring protein intake is primarily done manually. This requires a comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition, the development of a strict dietary plan, and then the preparation of individualized food based on the plan. The weight of the food must be weighed manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the accuracy of meal portioning is not high, making it unsuitable for the health management of a large number of patients.

[0004] Therefore, proposing a meal dispensing device that can be used by a large number of people would be a boon to a large number of patients and related caregivers. However, to achieve automatic meal dispensing, how to solve the problem of separating solid and liquid foods is a very critical technical issue. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a meal dispensing system with precise protein intake control capabilities. It can automatically dispense food in quantitative quantities according to demand, greatly improving dispensing efficiency and solving the problem of low nursing efficiency caused by the lack of automatic dispensing equipment and the need for manual operation in existing technologies. Furthermore, it can also classify and weigh solid and liquid foods to avoid the problem of mixing the two types of food and affecting accuracy, thus improving weighing accuracy.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a meal dispensing system with precise control of protein intake, comprising a first base plate and a second base plate, wherein a feeding seat is fixedly disposed at the middle of the upper end of the second base plate, and a first drainage groove and a second drainage groove are respectively opened on both sides of the upper end face of the feeding seat; a third electric telescopic rod and a fourth electric telescopic rod are respectively fixedly disposed on the side walls of the feeding seat; a first push plate and a second push plate are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the third electric telescopic rod and the fourth electric telescopic rod and extend into the first drainage groove and the second drainage groove respectively; a connecting seat is fixedly disposed on one side of the upper end of the feeding seat; a drainage inclined seat is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat; and a drainage cavity seat is fixedly disposed on one side of the upper end of the feeding seat.

[0009] Multiple fixed seats are fixedly arranged between the first base plate and the second base plate. The multiple fixed seats are arranged in pairs facing each other. A lead screw is rotatably connected between the two groups of fixed seats. A first motor is fixedly arranged in the middle of the side wall of the two fixed seats on one side. The output ends of the two first motors are fixedly connected to the lead screw respectively. Two sliding seats are threaded on the outer wall of the two lead screws. A weighing component is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the multiple sliding seats. A limit rod is respectively provided through one side of the multiple sliding seats.

[0010] The two support bases are fixedly provided with a top plate at their upper ends. A feeding frame is movably provided on the inner side wall of the top plate. Multiple rotating buckles are fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the feeding frame. The multiple rotating buckles are grouped in pairs and opposite each other.

The multiple sliding grooves are grouped in pairs and opposite each other. A movable push plate is rotatably connected between the multiple groups of sliding grooves.

[0011] A sealing device and a coding device are detachably installed below the second base plate. The sealing device seals the container inside the weighing assembly, and the coding device codes the sealed container.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, solid and liquid foods can be classified by the feeding seat, first diversion channel, second diversion channel, third electric telescopic rod, fourth electric telescopic rod, first push plate, connecting seat, diversion inclined seat, and diversion cavity seat, enabling classified weighing and improving weighing accuracy. The actual protein intake can be determined based on the protein content of the food. The lead screw, first motor, sliding seat, weighing assembly, and limit rod allow for material reception during the first weighing by moving the sliding seat, followed by weighing by the weighing assembly. For subsequent weighings, only the previous weighing is removed, and the weighing assembly can continuously receive and weigh subsequent materials. The top plate, feeding frame, rotating buckle, rotating plate, chute, and movable push plate determine the initial placement position of the food, while the rotating plate and movable push plate facilitate pushing and feeding. The container inside the weighing unit is sealed using a sealing device, and the sealed container is then marked with a coding device to indicate the name of the person associated with the container, the food information, and the weight, thus ensuring accuracy and preventing mis-determination.

[0013] Preferably, a flow guide seat and a discharge pipe are fixedly connected to one side of the first flow guide channel and the second flow guide channel, respectively;

[0014] The above technical solution allows for the transfer, feeding, and weighing of solid and liquid foods via a flow-inducing seat and a feeding tube.

[0015] Preferably, a second electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on one side wall of the top plate and fixedly connected to the material feeding frame;

[0016] The above technical solution allows the second electric telescopic rod to easily push the feeding frame to change food items.

[0017] Preferably, a first electric telescopic rod is fixedly provided in the middle of the rear end face of the top plate, and a top head is fixedly connected to one end of the first electric telescopic rod;

[0018] The above technical solution facilitates the feeding of food by using the first electric telescopic rod and the top head.

[0019] Preferably, both the drainage inclined seat and the drainage cavity seat are connected to the top plate on one side;

[0020] The above technical solution facilitates material receiving and transfer from the top plate.

[0024] The above technical solution allows for easy operation via a console, display screen, and control buttons.

[0025] Preferably, a plurality of support rods are fixedly connected between the first base plate and the second base plate;

[0026] The above technical solution can improve the stability of the entire device by using multiple support rods.

[0027] Working principle: Before meals, the protein content of all food items needs to be tested and determined. Then, based on the protein requirements of each person taking meals and their food choices, the weight of each type of food is comprehensively set. Next, the food is categorized and stored as solid or liquid. When taking meals, solid food is weighed, and the second electric telescopic rod is activated to push the feeding frame into the designated position. After reaching the designated position, the first electric telescopic rod is activated to push the movable push plate, which, under the action of the rotating buckle and the rotating plate, pushes the food into the diversion inclined seat and the connecting seat, until it reaches the first diversion trough. Then, the first motor is activated to drive the lead screw to rotate, and under the action of the limit rod and the sliding seat, a weighing... The component moves to the flow-inlet seat to receive the food. The third electric telescopic rod pushes the first push plate to guide the solid food onto the weighing component. When weighing liquid food, the weight is increased slowly until the set weight is reached. Then, the first motor rotates, driving the lead screw to rotate, thereby moving the sliding seat to the designated position. The sealing machine then seals the food and the inkjet printer prints the code, achieving isolation protection and labeling for easy and accurate retrieval by diners. Through a similar operation, the liquid food is guided from the flow-inlet cavity seat to the second flow-inlet trough. The fourth electric telescopic rod and the second push plate then guide the liquid food from the feed pipe to the weighing component for weighing, sealing, and labeling, completing the retrieval process.
