Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dining utensils, in particular to a dining system for standardized meal distribution. Background Art

[0002] Separate meals is a healthy dining method advocated now. Although many restaurants and families have prepared separate serving chopsticks, most of them are only different in color or length, and the public and private chopsticks are often mixed during the actual meal. Under the advocacy of healthy and civilized dining methods, many restaurants or families have implemented separate meals, or prepared separate serving chopsticks and private chopsticks, but most of the public and private chopsticks are only different in color or length, and they are often mixed during the meal, which greatly reduces the effect of separate meals. In order to avoid unconscious mixing of public and private chopsticks during meals, it is necessary to observe and study everyone's daily dining behaviors and habits. The purpose of this study is to not only meet the public's habits, but also effectively distinguish the use of public and private chopsticks, avoid cross contamination, and not increase the trouble of tableware cleaning.

[0003] The existing overall solution mainly involves the invention of a common chopstick body for public and private chopsticks, and the switching between public and private chopsticks is achieved by designing a flip adjustment or telescopic slide device for the chopstick head inside the chopstick body. There is also an existing technology that provides public chopsticks, private chopsticks and chopstick holders. The public and private chopsticks have built-in chips that correspond to the two concave positions of the chopstick holders one by one. When the chopsticks are taken away or misplaced, the chopstick holders will issue voice prompts or alarms. However, this solution only involves prompts and warnings when the chopsticks are taken away and put back, and does not solve the problem of mixing public and private chopsticks during use. These solutions seem to distinguish between public and private chopsticks, but the use process is still controlled by human will, and the process is cumbersome and anti-human. It is difficult to solve the problem of mixing in actual operation, which is essentially not much different from distinguishing length or color. Utility Model Content

[0027] Separate meals is a healthy dining method advocated now. Although many restaurants and families have prepared separate public chopsticks, most of them are only different in color or length, and public and private chopsticks are often mixed in the actual dining process. Under the advocacy of healthy and civilized dining methods, many restaurants or families have implemented separate meals, or prepared separate public and private chopsticks, but most of the public and private chopsticks are only different in color or length, and they are often mixed in the dining process, which greatly reduces the effect of separate meals. In order to avoid unconscious mixing of public and private chopsticks during meals, it is necessary to observe and study everyone's daily dining behavior and habits. How to meet the premise of public habits, effectively distinguish the use of public and private chopsticks, avoid cross contamination, and do not increase the trouble of tableware cleaning and processing is the purpose of this study. The existing overall plan is mainly: the invention of a common chopstick body for public and private chopsticks, and the switching of public and private chopsticks is achieved by designing a flip adjustment or telescopic slide device for the chopstick head inside the chopstick body. There are also existing technologies that provide public chopsticks, private chopsticks and chopstick holders. The public and private chopsticks have built-in chips that correspond to the two concave positions of the chopstick holders. When the chopsticks are taken away or misplaced, the chopstick holders will issue voice prompts or alarms. However, this solution only involves prompts and warnings when the chopsticks are taken away and put back, and does not solve the problem of mixing public and private chopsticks during use. These solutions seem to distinguish between public and private chopsticks, but the use process is still controlled by human will, and the process is cumbersome. It is difficult to solve the problem of mixing in actual operation, which is essentially not much different from distinguishing length or color.

[0028] The utility model provides a dining system with standardized meal separation, which is different from the prior art in that the dining table module can be divided into a dining area and a dish area through a magnetic induction field formed by an induction module, and an electrically connected first magnetic induction component and a vibration unit are set in the personal clip, and an electrically connected second magnetic induction component and an alarm unit are set in the public clip. When the first magnetic induction component enters the magnetic induction field, the vibration unit vibrates to remind the user not to use the personal clip in the dish area; when the second magnetic induction component leaves the magnetic induction field for a certain period of time, the alarm unit sounds an alarm to remind the user not to take the public clip from the dish area. At the same time, a switch module is also designed, so that diners can freely choose a dining method that distinguishes between public and private chopsticks, or a dining method that does not distinguish between public and private chopsticks.

[0029] See also Figure 1-2 , shown is a dining system with standardized meal sharing of the present invention. The dining system with standardized meal sharing of the present invention includes a dining table module, a sensing module, a personal clip, a public clip and a switch module. The dining table module includes a dining area and a dish area. The sensing module forms a magnetic induction field and covers the dish area. The personal clip includes a personal clip body, a first magnetic induction component and a vibration unit, the first magnetic induction component and the vibration unit are embedded in the personal clip body, the first magnetic induction component and the vibration unit are electrically connected, and when the first magnetic induction component is located in the magnetic induction field, it outputs a vibration signal to the vibration unit, and the vibration unit performs a corresponding vibration response when receiving the vibration signal. The public clamp includes a public clamp body, a second magnetic induction component and an alarm unit. The second magnetic induction component and the alarm unit are embedded in the public clamp body. The second magnetic induction component and the alarm unit are electrically connected. When the second magnetic induction component moves out of the magnetic induction field and does not return to the magnetic induction field within a preset time, the second magnetic induction component outputs an alarm signal to the alarm unit. When the alarm unit receives the alarm signal, it responds to the alarm accordingly. The switch module is electrically connected to the induction module, and the switch module is respectively connected to the first magnetic induction component and the second magnetic induction component signal.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, it is a system architecture diagram of the dining system for standardized meal separation provided by the utility model. In order to realize the meal separation in daily life, it is necessary to combine everyone's dining habits and comprehensively consider the dining process. Some high-tech and intelligent chopsticks are not convenient to use, not easy to clean and disinfect, and even affect the dining experience, so it is difficult to promote. The utility model does not make complex changes to the chopsticks themselves, but only uses the principle of acoustic magnetic induction to design and distinguish the dining function area, breaking the traditional concept of public "chopsticks", using "food clips" to pick up dishes to solve the problem that public chopsticks cannot be eaten, embeds acoustic magnetic labels into public and private chopsticks, and places acoustic magnetic sensors under the dish area on the table top to realize the alarm reminder when private chopsticks are on the table to pick up dishes. The design is novel, practical, and easy to promote. The utility model divides the dining table area into a dish area and a dining area, and the "clip dish" function is realized in the dish area by a public clip, and the "entry" function is realized in the dining area by a personal clip. In this embodiment, the personal clip is a wooden ordinary chopstick, and the public clip is a flat food clip. The design inspiration of the public chopsticks comes from the street snack malatang. It is found that using food clips to pick up food is convenient and will not be put directly into the mouth, which is very consistent with the functional requirements of public chopsticks. The personal clip includes a personal clip body, a first magnetic induction component and a vibration unit. The first magnetic induction component and the vibration unit are embedded in the personal clip body. The first magnetic induction component and the vibration unit are electrically connected. When the first magnetic induction component moves into the magnetic induction field with the personal clip, it outputs a vibration signal to the vibration unit. When the vibration unit receives the vibration signal, it performs a corresponding vibration response to warn the user holding the personal clip. The public clip includes a public clip body, a second magnetic induction component and an alarm unit. The second magnetic induction component and the alarm unit are embedded in the public clip body. The second magnetic induction component and the alarm component are electrically connected. When the second magnetic induction component moves out of the magnetic induction field together with the public clip and does not return to the magnetic induction field within a preset time, the second magnetic induction component outputs an alarm signal to the alarm unit. When the alarm component receives the alarm signal, it performs a corresponding alarm response. The switch module is electrically connected to the induction module, and the switch module is respectively connected to the first magnetic induction component and the second magnetic induction component by signal. When the public clamped object enters the dish area covered by the magnetic induction field, the vibration unit vibrates in response. In the present embodiment, the vibration unit is a mechanical vibrator. When the public clamped object leaves the dish area covered by the magnetic induction field and exceeds the preset time, the alarm unit responds with an alarm. In the present embodiment, the alarm unit is an infrared alarm. The switch module is responsible for opening and closing the entire system. When the system is turned on, it is in business mode. The first magnetic induction component and the second magnetic induction component work normally, and the vibration component and the alarm component send corresponding responses to remind the user of standardized use. When the system is turned off, it is in family dinner mode. The induction module stops forming a magnetic induction field, and the first magnetic induction component and the second magnetic induction component stop working. Users can freely use public chopsticks and private chopsticks without being affected by the vibration component and the alarm component.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the dining system for standard meal separation provided by the utility model. In order to avoid cross-infection of pathogens caused by the mixing of public and private chopsticks during a meal, this patent divides the dining process into two parts: picking up dishes and eating. Based on the principle of "private chopsticks are not on the table, public chopsticks are not eaten", a set of integrated meal separation solutions and matching tableware with sound and vibration prompt functions are designed. First, the dining table module is divided into a dining area and a dish area, which is a dish area and a dining area in this embodiment. The dishes are picked up first by personal clips and public clips respectively. In this embodiment, the dish picking function is realized in the dish area by public chopsticks, and the eating function is realized in the dining area by private chopsticks. Then, on the one hand, the acoustic magnetic induction principle is used to embed the acoustic magnetic label in the private chopsticks and the public chopsticks, and the induction module, i.e., the acoustic magnetic sensor, is placed below the dish area (clipped dish area) of the dining table module. When the private chopsticks are close to the dish area, the acoustic magnetic sensor will send a vibration signal to the vibration unit after identifying the label, and the vibration unit will send a vibration prompt to the user after receiving the vibration signal, which can effectively avoid the private chopsticks picking up dishes. At the same time, in order to prevent users from forgetting to return the public chopsticks after use, a second magnetic induction component (acoustic magnetic tag) is installed in the public chopsticks. The second magnetic induction component is electrically connected to the alarm component. When the second magnetic induction component is removed from the magnetic induction field and does not return to the magnetic induction field within a preset time, the second magnetic induction component outputs an alarm signal to the alarm unit, and the alarm component responds accordingly when receiving the alarm signal. The preset time can be set by yourself, and is set to 15s in this embodiment. On the other hand, it breaks the mindset of everyone about public "chopsticks". From the perspective of practical use, flat-mouthed food clips are chosen as public chopsticks, which make it convenient to pick up food but inconvenient to eat.

[0032] The utility model is a dining system for standardized meal division. The dining table module is divided into a dining area and a dish area by a magnetic induction field formed by an induction module, and an electrically connected first magnetic induction component and a vibration unit are set in the personal clip, and an electrically connected second magnetic induction component and an alarm unit are set in the public clip. When the first magnetic induction component enters the magnetic induction field, the vibration unit vibrates to remind the user not to use the personal clip in the dish area; when the second magnetic induction component leaves the magnetic induction field for a certain period of time, the alarm unit sounds an alarm to remind the user not to take the public clip from the dish area. At the same time, a switch module is also designed, so that diners can freely choose a dining method that distinguishes between public and private chopsticks, or a dining method that does not distinguish between public and private chopsticks.

[0033] Therefore, the problem of cross-infection of pathogens caused by mixing public and private chopsticks during dinner parties can be solved by the dining system for standardized meal separation of the utility model.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
