Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of notched cups, in particular to a notched cup with adjustable capacity. Background Art

[0002] The notched cup's unique open nose and mouth design allows users to drink water without lowering their heads, making it suitable for patients with swallowing disorders who are prone to choking or have difficulty turning their necks. When using it, patients can drink the water in the cup without tilting their heads back, reducing the risk of choking and aspiration caused by tilting their heads back when drinking.

[0003] However, there are children, young people or elderly people of different ages in patients with dysphagia. For such patients, there are strict restrictions on the amount of water they drink every day, and the amount of water they drink varies from group to group. The notched cup currently used has a simple structure. On the one hand, there is no capacity mark on the cup wall, so it is difficult for patients to grasp the internal water capacity. On the other hand, the notch position cannot be adjusted, resulting in the inability to adjust the content of the notched cup. For some patients who are in good recovery or have a large body weight and can drink more water in moderation, it is inconvenient to use a notched cup that maintains the notch shape but has an unadjustable capacity.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Example

[0024] See also Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a notched cup with adjustable capacity, comprising a cylindrical cup body 1, a V-shaped notch 2 is arranged at the cup mouth of the cylindrical cup body 1, the cylindrical cup body 1 is a transparent cup body, and a capacity mark 3 for displaying the water capacity in the cup is arranged on the outer wall of the cylindrical cup body 1; a plurality of annular grooves 4 are arranged on the inner wall of the cylindrical cup body 1, the annular grooves 4 are coaxial with the cylindrical cup body 1 and a plurality of them are arranged at equal intervals along the height direction of the cylindrical cup body 1, and a movable shielding member for adjusting the size of the V-shaped notch 2 is detachably installed on the annular groove 4.

[0025] The present application optimizes the cup body structure of the commonly used notched cup. On the one hand, capacity marks are designed on the outer wall of the cup body to assist users in clearly perceiving the water capacity in the cup. On the other hand, an annular groove 4 is designed on the inner wall of the cup, and the shielding area of ​​the movable shielding member assembled on the annular groove 4 at the V-shaped notch 2 is adjusted. Combined with the capacity mark 3 on the outer wall, the actual maximum capacity of the notched cup can be adjusted to meet the actual drinking water needs of dysphagia patients of different ages, weights and recovery states.

[0026] As a first example of a movable shielding member, Figures 1 to 4As shown, the movable shielding member is a cylindrical silicone member 5, an annular protrusion 6 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the cylindrical silicone member 5, a U-shaped notch 7 is provided on the side wall of the cylindrical silicone member 5 from top to bottom, and a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 8 are also provided on the outer wall of the cylindrical silicone member 5, and the plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 8 and the annular protrusion 6 are adapted to be snapped into the corresponding annular slot 4. In this design form, the cylindrical silicone member 5 has a simple configuration and is easy to operate. When in use, it is only necessary to rotate the cylindrical silicone member 5 and adjust the interlaced area of ​​the U-shaped notch 7 and the V-shaped notch 2 of the cylindrical silicone member 5 to adjust the actual maximum water holding capacity of the entire notch cup, and the actual capacity data can be read according to the capacity mark 3 on the outer wall of the cup body.

[0027] As a second example of a movable shielding member, Figures 5 to 10 As shown, the movable shielding member includes two plastic rings 9 arranged opposite to each other, and the two plastic rings 9 are connected by an elastic membrane 10, and the two plastic rings 9 are adapted to be inserted into different annular grooves 4. In this design form, the elastic membrane 10 between the two plastic rings 9 has good elastic expansion and contraction performance. By inserting the two plastic rings 9 into two annular grooves 4 with different spacings, the shielding area of ​​the elastic membrane 10 for the V-shaped notch 2 can be changed, that is, the maximum water holding capacity of the notch cup is adjusted. Preferably, the elastic membrane 10 includes at least two sections of membrane bodies connected in sequence in a folded state, that is, the elastic membrane 10 itself is a pre-folded structure with a wider extension size.

[0028] According to an example of the utility model, the capacity marks 3 located below the V-shaped notch 2 are spaced apart along the height direction of the notch cup, and the capacity marks 3 located above the V-shaped notch 2 are spaced apart along the outer edge of the V-shaped notch 2. In this design form, part of the capacity marks 3 are distributed along the mouth of the V-shaped notch 2 and are located in a key and more conspicuous position, which is more convenient for observation when the above-mentioned movable shielding parts adjust the capacity in the cup.
