Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lunch box technology, and in particular to a nutritional lunch box for special groups. Background Technology
[0002] Hospital inpatients are considered a special group of people who have physical or psychological health problems and require medical care. Hospitals have specific requirements for meal preparation and daily care for this group, and inpatients also need to follow certain precautions to ensure their recovery and safety.
[0003] Hospital patients' requirements for meal containers include: safe materials, good sealing, appropriate capacity, and portability. Hospitals typically require meal containers to be made of food-grade materials such as PP or PE. These materials are non-toxic, odorless, shatter-resistant, and easy to clean, meeting hospital hygiene standards for tableware. To maintain food hygiene and taste, and to prevent leakage or contamination during transportation, hospitals require meal containers to have good sealing properties. Inpatients' dietary needs may be specific, therefore the capacity of the meal containers should be appropriate to meet their actual needs. Portability: To facilitate carrying and use by patients or their families, meal containers should be portable.
[0004] Therefore, a special nutritional meal box for specific groups is proposed to facilitate use by hospitalized patients. Utility Model Content

[0008] The handle includes a handle fixedly connected to one side of the top of the cover. The handle is L-shaped, with one short side fixedly connected to one side of the middle of the top of the cover. The long side of the handle extends parallel to the cover, and a cavity is formed on the outer wall of the long side of the handle. A plug is inserted and connected to the outer end of the cavity. A movable block is fixedly connected to the outer end of the plug. A sealing rubber is provided at the connection between the plug and the cavity. A limit member is provided at the bottom of the movable block.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the limiting component includes a positioning block, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the cover. The middle of the top of the positioning block is provided with a positioning groove that is horizontal to the extension direction of the handle. A slider is slidably connected in the positioning groove, and the slider is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the movable block.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, damping rubber is provided at the connection between the positioning groove and the slider.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the binding component includes a strap, with a Velcro closure 1 on one upper side and a Velcro closure 2 on one lower side after the strap is unfolded. The strap is used to wrap and fix the multi-layer box body, and the Velcro closure 1 and Velcro closure 2 are used to bond and fix it.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, a vent is also provided on one side of the middle of the top of the cover. The vent includes a heat dissipation slot, which is opened at the top of the cover. A connecting hole is opened through the cover in the heat dissipation slot. A rubber cover is rotatably connected in the heat dissipation slot. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the rubber cover. The protrusion is inserted into the connecting hole.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 This embodiment of a special population nutrition meal box includes:
[0029] The multi-layer box is composed of a bottom box 1, a middle box 2, a top box 3 and a lid 4 stacked from bottom to top. The entire multi-layer box is wrapped with bindings. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the lid 4, and a storage cavity is provided inside the handle.
[0030] The handle includes a handle 5 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the cover 4. The handle 5 is L-shaped. One short side of the handle 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle of the top of the cover 4. The long side of the handle 5 extends parallel to the cover 4. A cavity 51 is opened on the outer wall of the long side of the handle 5. An insert block 52 is inserted and connected to the outer end of the cavity 51. A movable block 53 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the insert block 52. A sealing rubber is provided at the connection between the insert block 52 and the cavity 51. A limit member is provided at the bottom of the movable block 53.
[0031] The limiting component includes a positioning block 55, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the cover 4. The middle of the top of the positioning block 55 is provided with a positioning groove 56 that is horizontal to the extension direction of the handle 5. A slider 54 is slidably connected in the positioning groove 56, and the slider 54 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the movable block 53.
[0032] Damping rubber is provided at the connection between the positioning groove 56 and the slider 54.
[0033] A ventilation component is also provided on one side of the top center of the cover 4. The ventilation component includes a heat dissipation slot 7. The heat dissipation slot 7 is opened at the top of the cover 4, and a connecting hole 71 is opened through the cover 4 in the heat dissipation slot 7. A rubber cover 72 is rotatably connected in the heat dissipation slot 7. A protrusion 73 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the rubber cover 72. The protrusion 73 is inserted into the connecting hole 71.
[0034] The bottom box 1, middle box 2 and top box 3 are all provided with matching slots on the inner side of their tops for positioning and insertion.
[0035] A sealing rubber ring is provided at the bottom of the cover 4, and the sealing rubber ring abuts against the top of the top box 3.
[0036] The implementation principle of a special population nutrition meal box in this application embodiment is as follows:
[0037] The bottom box 1 can hold staple food, while there can be multiple middle boxes 2. Vegetables or meat dishes can be placed in the middle boxes 2, and soup can be placed in the top box 3. The boxes are sealed with a rubber ring to prevent the soup from spilling during movement.
[0038] After packaging, the multi-layer box can be tied and secured by the bindings, and can be carried by holding the top handle 5. The chamber 51 can contain sterilized chopsticks and spoons, and is sealed with rubber to prevent interaction with the external environment, thereby avoiding cross-contamination in the special environment of the hospital.
[0039] When needed, after untying the bindings, take out the bottom box 1, middle box 2 and top box 3 in sequence. When the top box 3 is connected to the cover 4, pull up the rubber cover 72 and rotate it to allow the air inside the top box 3 to interact with the outside through the connecting hole 71, so that the cover 4 can be quickly removed.
[0040] Then the movable block 53 can be pulled outwards to expose the chopsticks and spoon inside the chamber 51 for use.
[0041] After use, chopsticks and spoons can be placed in the bottom box 1 or the middle box 2 for recycling, cleaning, and disinfection, ready for reuse.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] Combination Figures 1-5 This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1, further described in the following aspects:
[0044] The binding includes a strap 6. After the strap 6 is unfolded, a Velcro 61 is provided on the upper end of one side, and a Velcro 62 is provided on the lower end of one side. The strap 6 is used to wrap and fix the multi-layer box body, and the Velcro 61 and Velcro 62 are used to bond and fix it.
[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0046] The entire multi-layer box is bound with strap 6 and tightened by the adhesion of Velcro 61 and Velcro 62. This allows for easy transport by holding the handle 5 with one hand and supporting the bottom of the bottom box 1 with the other. The strap 6 has a certain degree of elasticity and can accommodate the installation of multiple middle boxes 2. It is also fixed and limited by the action of Velcro 61 and Velcro 62.
[0047] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
