Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of diabetic patients, and particularly relates to a special diet metering device for diabetic patients. Background Art

[0002] Diabetes, a global chronic disease, has an increasing incidence year by year, significantly impacting patients' lives and health. For diabetic patients, scientific and rational dietary control is crucial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and preventing complications. However, in actual dietary management, patients often face numerous difficulties and challenges.

[0003] With the improvement of people's living standards and the diversification of dietary patterns, the diets of diabetic patients are also becoming increasingly diverse. From staple foods (such as rice and pasta) to vegetables (such as leafy greens and root vegetables), from fruits (such as low-sugar fruits and high-sugar fruits) to protein foods (such as meat, eggs, and beans), each food type has different nutritional components and effects on blood sugar. Therefore, these different foods need to be accurately classified, stored, and precisely measured to ensure that patients' nutritional intake is balanced and meets their medical needs.

[0004] The current dietary measurement tools and devices on the market have significant deficiencies in functionality and performance. First, traditional measuring tools are mostly focused on measuring a single type of food. This single-function design cannot meet the complex and diverse dietary needs of diabetic patients. This requires patients to use multiple different measuring tools when preparing a meal, which is cumbersome and prone to errors.

[0005] Secondly, existing metering devices often lack precision in terms of quantitative accuracy. They may not be able to accurately and individually quantify according to individual patient differences, such as age, weight, physical activity level, severity of the disease, and specific doctor's instructions. Because each diabetic patient has a different metabolic profile, tolerance to and needs for food also vary, a highly accurate dietary quantification tool that can be flexibly adjusted is needed to avoid excessive blood sugar fluctuations due to improper dietary intake, which increases the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and retinopathy.

[0006] Furthermore, existing dietary measurement devices lack consideration for ease of use and user-friendly design. Complex operating procedures and non-intuitive metering displays can cause confusion and inconvenience for patients, particularly the elderly or those with poor manual dexterity or vision. For example, some measuring tools require tedious readings and calculations, or have difficulty adjusting the scale. This not only increases the difficulty for patients but can also lead them to abandon use due to operational inconvenience, thus affecting the effectiveness of dietary control.

[0007] To this end, we have proposed a special dietary metering device for diabetic patients. This device can better classify, store and measure different foods, avoid confusion and cross-influence between foods, and at the same time achieve precise quantification based on the patient's individual needs and doctor's orders, helping patients to control their dietary intake more scientifically. Secondly, it has a convenient structure and is easy for patients to use. Utility Model Content

[0024] In order to make the purpose and advantages of this utility more clear, the utility is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific implementation methods of this utility and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically requested by this utility.

[0025] like Figure 1-4As shown, the technical solution adopted in this utility model is specifically as follows: a special diet metering device for diabetic patients includes a box body 1 and a sealing cover 2 arranged on the box body 1, four L-shaped plates 3 are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1, the four L-shaped plates 3 divide the box body 1 into four food storage areas 4, and a hollow cylinder 5 is arranged at the center position inside the box body 1, an elastic component is arranged inside the hollow cylinder 5, a pressing plate 6 is fixedly arranged on the elastic component, a first connecting rod 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressing plate 6, a first magnetic block 8 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the first connecting rod 7, a second magnetic block 9 attracted to the first magnetic block 8 is fixedly arranged on the top of the hollow cylinder 5, four connecting plates 10 are arranged on the outside of the pressing plate 6, each connecting plate 10 corresponds to a food storage area 4, each connecting plate 10 is provided with a measuring scale 11 and a slide groove 12, a moving component is arranged inside the slide groove 12, and a partition 13 is installed on the moving component.

[0026] Its working principle is as follows: first, different foods are placed inside the four food storage areas 4 respectively, and then the partitions 13 are moved by the moving assembly. According to the needs or medical instructions, the position of the partitions 13 on each food storage area 4 is adjusted by the measuring scale 11, and then the pressing plate 6 is moved downward. The pressing plate 6 drives the connecting plate 10 to move the partitions 13 downward through the elastic assembly, so that the partitions 13 enter the food storage area 4, so that the diabetic patient's diet can achieve a quantitative effect. At the same time, when the pressing plate 6 moves, it drives the first connecting rod 7 to move the first magnetic block 8 downward, so that it is attracted to the second magnetic block 9 and fixed, making it convenient for the patient to eat. This device can better classify, store and measure different foods, avoid confusion and cross-influence between foods, and can achieve precise quantification according to the individual needs and medical instructions of patients, helping patients to control their dietary intake more scientifically. Secondly, the structure is convenient and easy for patients to use.

[0027] Among them, the setting of the amount of food stored in the food storage area 4 matches the measuring scale 11 to ensure the accuracy of the food amount and meet the needs of diabetic patients. The measuring scale 11 simplifies the food amount measurement process and adjusts the position of the partition 13 of the food storage area 4 according to doctor's orders or needs.

[0028] It should be noted that the food storage capacity of the food storage area 4 is carefully designed and can be achieved with existing technology, so no further details will be given here.

[0029] At the same time, the elastic component includes a spring 14 arranged inside the hollow cylinder 5, a piston disk 15 is provided on the top of the spring 14, a movable rod 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the piston disk 15, and the top of the movable rod 17 passes through the hollow cylinder 5 and is connected to the pressing disk 6.

[0030] When the pressing plate 6 moves downward, it drives the movable rod 17 to move, and the movable rod 17 drives the piston plate 15 to squeeze the spring 14, so that the partition plate 13 moves downward for quantitative measurement.

[0031] The function of the spring 14 is that when people use force to separate the first magnetic block 8 and the second magnetic block 9, the elastic force of the spring 14 causes the partition 13 to be pulled out from the food storage area 4, making it convenient to put food into the food storage area 4.

[0032] The moving assembly includes a fixed shaft 18 arranged inside the slide groove 12, a slider 19 is movably sleeved on the fixed shaft 18, a second connecting rod 20 is fixedly set on the top of the slider 19, and the end of the second connecting rod 20 away from the slider 19 is connected to the partition 13.

[0033] By moving the slider 19 on the fixed shaft 18 inside the sliding groove 12, the second connecting rod 20 drives the partition 13 to move, thereby performing food quantification.

[0034] Among them, a first magnetic surface is provided on one side of the slider 19, and a second magnetic surface 21 attracted to the first magnetic surface is provided on the inner wall of the slide groove 12. When moving to the position, the first magnetic surface and the second magnetic surface 21 are attracted to each other, thereby fixing.

[0035] It should be noted that the suction force between the first magnetic surface and the second magnetic surface 21 is smaller than the pressure of manual adjustment by people, which makes it convenient for people to adjust. At the same time, it can be fixed after the adjustment is completed to prevent movement.

[0036] A heat-insulating layer is provided on the outside of the box body 1. The material of the heat-insulating layer is a glass fiber heat-insulating layer. The heat-insulating layer can keep the food inside warm.

[0037] The partition 13 matches the food storage area 4 , and this arrangement can achieve a complete isolation effect when the partition 13 enters the interior of the food storage area 4 .

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: first, different foods are placed in the four food storage areas 4 respectively, and then the partitions 13 are moved by the moving assembly. According to the needs or the requirements of the doctor's order, the position of the partitions 13 on each food storage area 4 is adjusted by the measuring scale 11, and then the pressing plate 6 is moved downward. The pressing plate 6 drives the connecting plate 10 to move the partitions 13 downward through the elastic assembly, so that the partitions 13 enter the food storage area 4, so that the diabetic patient's diet can achieve a quantitative effect. At the same time, when the pressing plate 6 moves, it drives the first connecting rod 7 to move the first magnetic block 8 downward, so that it is attracted to the second magnetic block 9 and fixed, making it convenient for the patient to eat. This device can better classify, store and measure different foods, avoid confusion and cross-influence between foods, and can achieve accurate quantification according to the individual needs and doctor's orders of the patient, which helps the patient to control the dietary intake more scientifically. Secondly, the structure is convenient and convenient for patients to use.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this application shall be implemented in accordance with conventional means in the art unless otherwise specified or limited.
