Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical nutrition, and in particular to a device for evenly dividing food. Background Art

[0002] In the dietary nutrition management of hospitalized patients, carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the human body, especially for metabolic diseases, which require reasonable control of total calories. Therefore, it is very important to control the proportion of food portions. The doctor's orders issued clinically are calculated based on the patient's height, weight and activity coefficient. After the doctor's orders are issued, the nutrition department needs to calculate the grams of the patient's staple and non-staple food according to the doctor's orders. The canteen then prepares the non-staple food according to the requirements, and the measurement method of the non-staple food is relatively simple.

[0003] Taking the diabetic diet as an example, the equal exchange is calculated based on the food exchange portion, and the patient's calorie demand supply is divided around the food. The food provided is mainly coarse grain rice, which is generally quantitative. There are two main methods for distributing food portions: (1) The chef uses the empirical visual method to measure the cooked rice, that is, to distribute food to each patient based on subjective feelings, which has a large error; (2) The weighing method is used. Due to the large number of people provided with meals in the hospital, this method has a slow weighing speed and low efficiency. For this reason, a food uniform dividing device is proposed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] Below, the present application is further described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0024] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that directional words, such as the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating directions and positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of narrating the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0026] One of the preferred embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a device for evenly dividing food comprises a base 1, a steaming box 2 and a dividing mechanism 3. The steaming box 2 is placed on the base 1, and the dividing mechanism 3 can divide the whole piece of food in the steaming box 2 into a plurality of block structures.

[0027] It is understandable that when steaming food (usually rice), the steaming box 2 is placed in the steaming cabinet; after steaming, the steaming box 2 is taken out and placed on the base 1, where the base 1 can be understood as a structure that supports the steaming box 2, such as a placement table or a placement table in the cafeteria; at this time, the rice in the steaming box 2 is a whole block, and when the medical staff is serving the rice, the cafeteria chef needs to serve the rice in a quantitative manner. At this time, the whole block of food in the steaming box 2 can be divided into multiple block structures by the dividing mechanism 3, that is, the divided block food is the food portion required by the patient. In this way, there is no need for the cafeteria chef to weigh or visually distribute the food, which greatly improves the accuracy of the portion and the efficiency of distribution.

[0028] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the dividing mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 301 and a plurality of partitions 302. The partitions 302 are crisscrossedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 301. It can be understood that a plurality of partitions 302 are installed in the longitudinal direction of the mounting plate 301, and a plurality of partitions 302 are also installed in the transverse direction of the mounting plate 301, and then the partitions 302 and the partitions 302 are enclosed to form a dividing area.

[0029] It can be understood that when dividing food, the partition 302 is moved into the steaming box 2 through our mounting plate 301, that is, the partition 302 can be moved vertically downward along the steaming box 2 through the mounting plate 301, so that the dividing area divides the food into multiple block structures, that is to say, the partition 302 can cut the whole block of rice into multiple pieces.

[0030] It should be noted that the size of the partition is set according to the actual situation, that is, the rice after the partition is the amount of rice required by the patient. It is understandable that multiple partitions can be all the same; of course, they can also be divided into multiple areas, that is, the partitions in different areas are different, which is suitable for the food requirements of different patients. It can meet the supply of staple food for patients with different clinical nutritional needs, which is conducive to the rapid and accurate allocation of the amount of staple rice for hospitalized patients, and facilitates nutritionists or chefs to quickly and accurately distribute sugar-controlled meals, so as to put theoretical nutritional values ​​into practice.

[0031] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the dividing mechanism 3 also includes a mounting frame 303, and the mounting plate 301 is vertically slidably mounted on the mounting frame 303 through the guide rod 8. When dividing the food, we first place the mounting frame 303 on the base 1 so that the mounting plate 301 is directly opposite to the steaming box 2 placed on the base 1, and then move the mounting plate 301 vertically along the mounting frame 303 to divide the rice. It can be understood that the mounting frame 303 plays a limiting role on the divided mounting plate 301 and the partition 302, so that the canteen staff does not need to hold the dividing mechanism 3 to cut the rice, but only needs to place the dividing mechanism 3 at a suitable position and then move it up and down to cut the rice, which further improves the convenience.

[0032] As a further embodiment of the above embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, handles 5 may be installed on both sides of the top of the mounting frame 303, and the splitting mechanism 3 may be moved by the handles 5 to improve portability.

[0033] Of course, in order to improve the stability of the mounting frame 303 when it is placed, a suction cup 7 is installed at the bottom end of the mounting frame 303. It can be understood that the mounting frame 303 includes a frame body and four support columns, the support columns are installed at the four corners of the bottom end of the frame body, and the suction cup 7 is installed at the bottom end position of the support column. Of course, when the mounting frame 303 is placed on the base 1, the suction cup 7 can be adsorbed on the base 1, so that the position of the mounting frame 303 can be limited to ensure the stability and accuracy of the installation. The design of the suction cup 7 enables the mounting frame 303 to be firmly fixed on the base 1, avoiding shaking and displacement during use. The design of this limiting structure makes the installation process simpler and more efficient, and improves work efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 3 further includes an elastic member 304, and the two ends of the elastic member 304 are respectively connected to the mounting frame 303 and the mounting plate 301. When the mounting plate 301 moves down along the mounting frame 303, the elastic member 304 can be elastically deformed. After the user lets go, the mounting plate 301 can move up and reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 304, so as to facilitate the cutting of the next steaming box 2, thereby improving convenience. It should be noted that the elastic member 304 is usually a spring.

[0035] In this embodiment, since the mounting plate 301 needs to be moved downward by pressing, it will be very time-consuming and laborious. Figure 1 As shown, a driving assembly 4 may be provided on the mounting frame 303 , and the driving assembly 4 and the mounting plate 301 are cooperatively connected; the driving assembly 4 may drive the mounting plate 301 to move vertically downward.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the driving assembly 4 includes a driving handle 401, and the driving handle 401 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 303 through a bracket.

[0037] When in use, we can drive the handle 401 to rotate downward along the mounting frame 303 until it contacts the guide rod 8, that is, the mounting plate 301 is moved vertically downward by the squeezing effect of the drive handle 401, which utilizes the lever principle, so that the mounting plate 301 can be moved downward more labor-saving and quickly (such as Figure 5 shown).

[0038] Since the driving handle 401 and the mounting plate 301 are not connected, that is, the downward movement of the mounting plate 301 is performed by the driving handle 401, when the driving handle 401 is not in use, the driving handle 401 is in a free state, that is, it is easy to rotate along the bracket under the action of external force.

[0039] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, one of the embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the driving assembly 4 also includes a connecting rod 402 , one end of the connecting rod 402 is hinged to the middle of the driving handle 401 , and the other end of the connecting rod 402 is hinged to the top end of the guide rod 8 .

[0040] During the splitting process, the driving handle 401 can be used to drive the connecting rod 402 to rotate downward, and then the guide rod 8 can be used to drive the mounting plate 301 to move vertically downward, that is, the driving handle 401 and the guide rod 8 are connected by the connecting rod 402, and then the driving handle 401 can be limited to further improve the stability.

[0041] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a placement groove 6 is provided on the base 1 , and the placement groove 6 is matched with the steam box 2 , that is, the steam box 2 can be just placed in the placement groove 6 , thereby limiting the position of the steam box 2 .

[0042] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0043] The device is mainly used to divide the steamed rice. First, the steaming box 2 in the rice steaming cabinet is taken out and placed in the placement groove 6 on the base 1. At this time, the dividing mechanism 3 on the base 1 is located just above the placed steaming box 2. Figure 4 As shown, we can hold the driving handle 401 and turn it downward, the driving handle 401 acts on the connecting rod 402, and the connecting rod 402 acts on the guide rod 8, so that the mounting plate 301 can be vertically moved downward into the steaming box 2, and then the whole piece of rice can be cut into multiple pieces through the partition 302 in the dividing area, and the divided rice is the amount of rice required by the patient; this can be repeated to evenly divide the rice in multiple steaming boxes 2. In this way, it is convenient to quickly give the patient the amount of rice required, without the need for the canteen chef to weigh or visually distribute the food, which greatly improves the accuracy of the amount and the efficiency of distribution.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the device is not limited to being used for measuring rice quantities in the medical nutrition department, but can also be used in canteens such as shopping malls, factories or schools, so that canteen chefs can quickly measure rice quantities.
