Specific embodiments

[0051] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0052] As Figures 1 to 4 shown:

[0053] Embodiment 1: The present invention provides a portable dietary nutritional analyzer, including a nutritional analyzer mechanism 1 and a feeding mechanism 2:

[0054] The nutritional analyzer mechanism 1 includes a workbench 11, a mounting groove 12 is opened at the middle position on the upper side of the workbench 11, a weighing platform 13 is further installed on the upper side of the workbench 11, a storage rack component 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the workbench 11, a display screen component 15 is rotatably connected with damping on the upper side of the storage rack component 14, and a camera 16 is fixedly installed on the storage rack component 14;

[0055] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a mounting frame component 21, and a feeding component 22 is rotatably connected on the upper side of the mounting frame component 21;

[0056] The mounting frame component 21 is limited and clamped in the mounting groove 12;

[0057] The storage rack assembly 14 includes a telescopic arm 141 fixedly installed on the outer side of the workbench 11, and a folding arm 142 is damping rotatably connected to the upper side of the telescopic arm 141;

[0058] The display screen assembly 15 includes a display screen body 151, and a shaft bracket 152 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the display screen body 151;

[0059] The shaft bracket 152 is damping rotatably clamped on the folding arm 142, and the camera 16 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the folding arm 142;

[0060] The camera 16 is used to take pictures of the dishes on the weighing platform 13;

[0061] The weighing platform (13) and the display screen body (151) are electrically connected, and the display screen body (151) and the camera (16) are electrically connected.

[0062] As can be seen from the above, put the dishes into the container, then place the container on the feeding component 22, control the feeding component 22 to make the container rotate to the upper side of the weighing platform 13, press the feeding component 22 to make it descend, and the descent of the feeding component 22 makes the container move onto the weighing platform 13, and at the same time the container will be separated from the feeding component 22;

[0063] Weigh the container through the weighing platform 13, and the weight of the dishes can be obtained by removing the weight of the container. At the same time, the camera 16 takes pictures of the dishes on the weighing platform 13; the weighing platform 13 and the display screen body 151 are electrically connected, and the weight information of the dishes can be displayed on the display screen body 151, while the display screen body 151 and the camera 16 are electrically connected, and the pictures of the dishes can be viewed on the display screen body 151 for further analysis and processing;

[0064] When the device needs to be used temporarily for a short period, the staff can remove the feeding mechanism 2, then rotate the folding arm 142 to rotate around the telescopic arm 141, and then rotate the display screen body 151 around the shaft bracket 152. When the display screen body 151 rotates towards the workbench 11, contract the telescopic arm 141, which can make the display screen body 151 close to the workbench 11, thus facilitating the staff to carry it. At the same time, when using it temporarily, there is no need for the feeding mechanism 2, and only the nutrition analyzer mechanism 1 can be used alone.

[0065] As Figures 1 to 3 shown:

[0066] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, the difference is that the nutrition analyzer mechanism 1 further includes:

[0067] A processor for processing weighing data and dish photo information;

[0068] A dish recognition module for recognizing the types of dishes through image recognition technology;

[0069] A nutrition database that stores nutritional component data of different dishes;

[0070] A nutrition analysis module for calculating the nutritional components of a dish based on the type and weight of the dish.

[0071] Specifically, the weighing platform 13 includes:

[0072] A high-precision weighing sensor for accurately measuring the weight of the dish;

[0073] A data transmission module for transmitting the weighing data to the processor of the nutrition analyzer mechanism 1.

[0074] Specifically, the nutrition analysis module includes:

[0075] A nutritional component calculation unit for calculating the nutritional components based on the dish weight and the data in the nutrition database;

[0076] A nutritional component evaluation unit for evaluating the nutritional balance of the dish according to the calculation results;

[0077] A recommendation generation unit for generating dietary recommendations based on the evaluation results.

[0078] Specifically, the display screen assembly 15 further includes:

[0079] A touch screen module for the user to input dish information, select the analysis mode, and view the analysis results;

[0080] A data visualization module for displaying the nutritional component analysis results of the dish in the form of charts.

[0081] As can be seen from the above, place the dish on the weighing platform 13, the high-precision weighing sensor accurately measures the weight of the dish and transmits the weighing data to the processor through the data transmission module;

[0082] The processor receives the weighing data, and at the same time, the camera 16 takes a photo of the dish and transmits it to the processor;

[0083] The processor uses image recognition technology through the dish recognition module to identify the type of the dish and obtains the nutritional component data of the corresponding dish from the nutrition database;

[0084] Then, the nutritional component calculation unit of the nutrition analysis module calculates the nutritional components based on the dish weight and the data in the nutrition database;

[0085] The nutritional component evaluation unit evaluates the nutritional balance of the dish, and the recommendation generation unit generates dietary recommendations based on the evaluation results;

[0086] The user can input dish information, select an analysis mode, and view analysis results through the touch screen module of the display screen assembly 15, and the data visualization module displays the analysis results of the nutritional components of the dishes in the form of charts.

[0087] As Figures 5 to 8 shown:

[0088] Embodiment 3: This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the feeding assembly 22 includes a first round rod 221. The upper end of the first round rod 221 is rotatably connected to a second round rod 222. The upper end of the outer side of the second round rod 222 is fixedly connected with a placing ring 223. The bottom of the first round rod 221 is fixedly connected with a limiting ring 224, and a spring 225 is further fixedly connected to the lower end of the limiting ring 224;

[0089] The first round rod 221 is limited and slidably clamped inside the mounting frame assembly 21 through the limiting ring 224, and the spring 225 drives the limiting ring 224 to drive the first round rod 221, the second round rod 222, and the placing ring 223 to move upward;

[0090] Among them, a utensil matching the placing ring 223 is placed in the placing ring 223, and rotating the placing ring 223 can make the second round rod 222 rotate on the first round rod 221 through a bearing;

[0091] When the placing ring 223 with the utensil rotates to the upper side of the weighing platform 13, pressing the second round rod 222 can make the placing ring 223 drive the utensil to move downward and compress the spring 225. The utensil moves downward and can be transferred to the weighing platform 13. At the same time, the placing ring 223 disengages from the utensil. At this time, the weighing platform 13 can weigh the utensil and the dishes in it;

[0092] After weighing is completed, release the second round rod 222, and the reset of the spring 225 will drive the limiting ring 224 to drive the first round rod 221, the second round rod 222, and the placing ring 223 to move upward;

[0093] The upward movement of the placing ring 223 will cause the utensil to rise, facilitating the staff to rotate again to weigh the next dish.

[0094] Specifically, an external gear ring 226 is further fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer side of the second round rod 222;

[0095] The feeding mechanism 2 further includes a driving component 23. The driving component 23 includes a motor 231, and the output end of the motor 231 is fixedly connected with a gear 232;

[0096] The motor 231 is fixedly installed on the limiting ring 224, and the gear 232 and the external gear ring 226 are meshed with each other;

[0097] Turning on the motor 231 can cause the gear 232 to drive the external gear ring 226 to rotate. The rotation of the external gear ring 226 will cause the second round bar 222 to rotate. The rotation of the second round bar 222 will cause the placement ring 223 to rotate. The rotation of the placement ring 223 can cause the container to rotate and move to the weighing platform 13.

[0098] Specifically, a convex block 227 is also fixedly connected to the outer side of the second round bar 222;

[0099] The mounting bracket assembly 21 includes a mounting bracket body 211, and a stop block 212 is fixedly connected to the upper end inside the mounting bracket body 211;

[0100] The convex block 227 is located between the placement ring 223 and the external gear ring 226. The number and position of the convex blocks 227 correspond to those of the placement ring 223. When the convex block 227 is located below the stop block 212, the placement ring 223 moves downward and approaches the weighing platform 13.

[0101] Among them, when the external gear ring 226 drives the second round bar 222 to rotate, the rotation of the second round bar 222 will cause the convex block 227 to rotate. When the convex block 227 rotates to the lower side of the stop block 212, the convex block 227 will drive the second round bar 222 to move downward. The downward movement of the second round bar 222 will cause the container to move to the weighing platform 13, thereby realizing the weighing function.
