[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 3 An embodiment provided by the present utility model: An adjustable food plate for meals includes a disk body 1 for accommodating food. A connection component 3 for connecting a partition 2 is provided at the top of the disk body 1. The connection component 3 includes a rotating shaft 32 for supporting the rotation of a connection ring 31. The rotating shaft 32 is inserted into the top of the disk body 1. A connection ring 31 for supporting the rotation of the partition 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 32. A partition 2 for separating the internal space of the disk body 1 is fixedly connected to the right end of the connection ring 31. A positioning component 4 for fixing the partition 2 is provided at the top of the partition 2. The positioning component 4 includes a positioning block 42 for assisting in positioning the position of the partition 2. The positioning block 42 is slidably connected to the right end of the partition 2.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 And Figure 4, the connecting component 3 further includes a rubber gasket 34 for enhancing the connection sealing performance of the device. The rubber gasket 34 is sleeved on the top end of the rotating shaft 32. When installing the connecting component 3, the connecting ring 31 needs to be fully sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 32 first, and then the rubber gasket 34 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 32. The top end of the rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected with a closing cap 33 for closing the top end of the rotating shaft 32. By using the closing cap 33 to close the top end of the rotating shaft 32, it can prevent the connecting ring 31 from detaching from the rotating shaft 32 at the top end. A sealing groove 35 for accommodating the rubber gasket 34 is provided at the top end of the disk body 1. The sealing groove 35 and the rubber gasket 34 are adapted to each other. By using the rubber gasket 34 to fill the sealing groove 35, the connection sealing performance between the rotating shaft 32 and the disk body 1 can be enhanced. The rubber gasket 34 and the sealing groove 35 are provided in multiple groups. Another group of sealing grooves 35 is provided at the bottom end of the disk body 1. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 32 is threadedly connected with a connecting sleeve 36 for fixing the rotating shaft 32. Another group of rubber gaskets 34 is provided at the top end of the connecting sleeve 36. Another group of rubber gaskets 34 can be used to enhance the connection sealing performance between the connecting sleeve 36 and the disk body 1.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , a positioning groove 41 for accommodating the positioning block 42 is provided on the inner wall of the disk body 1. The positioning groove 41 and the positioning block 42 are adapted to each other. The right end of the positioning block 42 is tapered. When the inclined surface is squeezed, the positioning block 42 will be forced to move leftward. The left end of the positioning block 42 is fixedly connected with a positioning spring 43 for pushing the positioning block 42. The left end of the positioning spring 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the partition plate 2. When using the positioning spring 43 to push the positioning block 42, only the tapered part of the positioning block 42 will enter the interior of the positioning groove 41. A sliding plate 46 for driving the push block 45 to move is slidably connected to the top end of the partition plate 2. The top end of the sliding plate 46 is fixedly connected with a push block 45 for pushing the positioning block 42. The top end of the push block 45 is fixedly connected with a dial block 48 for facilitating the operator to move the push block 45. The left end of the sliding plate 46 is fixedly connected with a fixing spring 47 for pushing the sliding plate 46. The left end of the fixing spring 47 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the partition plate 2. The fixing spring 47 will always push the sliding plate 46 rightward. By using the fixing spring 47 to push the sliding plate 46 to drive the push block 45 to push the positioning block 42, the vertical part of the positioning block 42 can also be clamped into the interior of the positioning groove 41. The right end of the positioning block 42 is fixedly connected with a baffle 44 for blocking the opening at the top end of the partition plate 2. The baffle 44 slides on the inner wall of the partition plate 2.

[0034] Working principle: When it is necessary to adjust the internal space distribution of the disk body 1, the dial block 48 can be first toggled to drive the push block 45 to separate from the positioning block 42. Subsequently, the positioning spring 43 will pull the positioning block 42 to displace it to the left. In this way, the positioning block 42 will only be inserted into the positioning groove 41 with its conical part. At this time, the partition plate 2 can be toggled to drive the partition plate 2 and the connecting ring 31 to rotate. By adjusting the positioning block 42 to be inserted into different positioning grooves 41, the redistribution of the internal space of the disk body 1 can be realized. After the position of the partition plate 2 is adjusted, the dial block 48 can be released. The fixing spring 47 will push the sliding plate 46 to drive the push block 45 to move to the right to squeeze the positioning block 42. At this time, the positioning block 42 will be further inserted into the positioning groove 41, and then the partition plate 2 cannot be toggled, and the adjustment of the internal space of the disk body 1 is completed.

[0035] When it is necessary to clean the device, the connecting sleeve 36 can be first rotated to remove it from the bottom end of the rotating shaft 32. Subsequently, the rotating shaft 32 can be pulled out upward, so that the whole device can be disassembled, and the operator can clean each component separately. The whole device is more convenient to clean.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
