Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a food recording device, including a base 100, a bowl rack 200, and a plurality of bowls 300.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the base 100 has a groove 110, and several weighing platforms 120 are installed in the groove 110. In this embodiment, four weighing platforms 120 are specifically provided.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the bowl rack 200 includes a side panel 210 and a top plate 220 located on the upper end of the side panel 210. The inner circumferential surface of the side panel 210 is adapted to the outer circumferential surface of the base 100. The top plate 220 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 221. In this embodiment, four positioning holes 221 are specifically provided, and each positioning hole 221 corresponds to each weighing platform 120.

[0033] To facilitate moving the dish rack 200, handles 211 are provided on the side panels 210 on both sides of the dish rack 200.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the bowl 300 is provided with an outward protrusion 310. Each bowl 300 is positioned in a corresponding positioning hole 221. When the bowl rack 200 is placed on a flat surface, the outward protrusion 310 of the upper end of the bowl 300 is supported on the upper side of the periphery of the positioning hole 221. When the side panel 210 of the bowl rack 200 is fitted over the base 100 and lowered into place, each bowl 300 is supported on each weighing platform 120, and the outward protrusion 310 of the upper end of each bowl 300 is separated from the top plate 220.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the bowl 300 is conical, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. This ensures that when the bowl holder 200 is mounted on the base 100 and the weighing platform 120 lifts the bowl 300, the outer circumferential surface of the bowl 300 is separated from the periphery of the positioning hole 221 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown), to ensure the accuracy of the weighing.

[0036] The various food items in this application are respectively placed in separate bowls 300, and each bowl 300 is installed in a positioning hole 221 on a bowl rack 200. Before the patient eats, the side panel 210 of the bowl rack 200 is aligned and fitted over the base 100, and then the bowl rack 200 is slowly lowered. When the bowl rack 200 is in place, the bowls 300 are supported on the weighing platform 120, and at the same time, the outer edge of the upper part of the bowls 300 separates from the top plate 220, at which point they can be passed through the weighing platform 120. Each bowl 300 is weighed. After weighing, each bowl 300 can be lifted using the bowl rack 200. The bowl rack 200 and the bowls 300 fixed in the positioning holes 221 of the bowl rack 200 are then moved to the patient's front for the meal. After the meal, each bowl 300 is weighed again using the same method as before the meal. The difference between the weight of each bowl 300 before the meal and the weight of each bowl 300 after the meal is the amount of food consumed by the patient.

[0037] Therefore, the application can not only record the accurate weight of the food of the patient, but also can move the whole meal bowl rack 200 to move the meal bowls 300 during the meal, so as to save the trouble of moving the meal bowls 300 one by one, and the recording operation is convenient and the food is not easy to be spilled.

[0038] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One side of the lower part of the base 100 is connected with a side support 400, and a computer 500 is installed on the side support 400, and each weighing table 120 is electrically connected with the computer 500, and a display screen 510 is arranged on the front side of the computer 500, and the weight measured by each weighing table 120 can be displayed on the display screen 510.

[0039] The embodiment further comprises a camera 600, which is installed on the side support 400 and is electrically connected with the computer 500, and the camera 600 is used to obtain the image of the food in the meal bowl 300 placed on each weighing table 120, the computer 500 is used to identify the food in the obtained image, and the display screen 510 is used to display the identified various foods and their weights.

[0040] When the food in each meal bowl 300 is weighed before the meal, the camera 600 can be used to take a picture of the food in each meal bowl 300, the taken image is transmitted to the computer 500, the computer 500 uses image recognition technology to identify the food in each meal bowl 300 in the picture, and stores the identified various foods and their weights, and the display screen 510 can also be used to display the various foods and their weights, so as to realize the automatic recording of the diet of the patient and save the trouble of manually recording the diet.

[0041] The display screen 510 of the embodiment is preferably a touch display screen 510, so that when the diet is recorded, the touch display screen 510 can be used to confirm whether the identified food is correct and to check the diet record of the patient later.

[0042] In the embodiment, the bottom of the four corners of the base 100 and the bottom of the two sides of the side support 400 are provided with leveling supports 130, so that the device can be leveled by the leveling supports 130.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the specification of the present application.
