Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tableware technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable plate. Background Technology

[0002] Tableware refers to non-edible utensils that come into direct contact with food during meals, and are used to assist in the distribution or consumption of food.

[0003] In practical use, some patients, such as diabetic patients or people who are trying to lose weight, need to control the amount of carbohydrates they consume at each meal. However, it is difficult to control the amount of carbohydrates accurately with the naked eye. In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to provide an adjustable plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an adjustable plate, which aims to solve the problem that some patients and people trying to lose weight need to control their carbohydrate intake at each meal, but it is difficult to accurately control the amount of carbohydrates consumed by the naked eye.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an adjustable plate includes a plate assembly: a heating base assembly is provided at the bottom of the plate assembly, the plate assembly includes a plate body mechanism, a first annular insert is inserted into the top of the plate assembly, a second annular insert is inserted into the top of the plate assembly, a third annular insert is inserted into the top of the plate assembly, and a fourth annular insert is inserted into the top of the plate assembly.

[0006] Among them, isolation inserts are inserted between the first annular insert and the second annular insert, between the second annular insert and the third annular insert, and between the third annular insert and the fourth annular insert.

[0007] Preferably, the disc mechanism includes a disc body, and several annular retaining strips are fixedly connected to the outside of the disc body;

[0008] Each pair of ring-shaped clips is set as a group, and a ring-shaped slot is formed between each pair of ring-shaped clips.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the annular slot is inserted into the bottom of the first annular insert, the second annular insert, the third annular insert, and the fourth annular insert, respectively, and the outer wall of the first annular insert, the second annular insert, the third annular insert, and the fourth annular insert is provided with scale markings.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the disc body is provided with several scale grooves;

[0011] Furthermore, several scale grooves are respectively located inside the first annular insert, between the first and second annular inserts, between the second and third annular inserts, between the third and fourth annular inserts, and between the fourth annular insert and the disk body;

[0012] The disc body is divided into several regions by several annular slots, and each region has the same area.

[0013] Preferably, the bottoms of the first annular insert, the second annular insert, the third annular insert, and the fourth annular insert are inserted.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the plate body has a bottom slot and a positioning ring groove. Through the arrangement of the plate assembly, the plates are divided into several areas of equal size by several annular slots. Therefore, after inserting the first, second, third, and fourth annular inserts in sequence, each annular insert can form a food trough with the same volume. Users can select appropriate annular inserts to insert into the annular slots according to the patient's or weight-loss individual's condition to create food troughs of different volumes, thereby meeting different food intake needs.

[0015] Preferably, the heating seat assembly includes a heating seat, a central insert block is provided at the top center of the heating seat, a positioning ring is fixedly connected to the top of the heating seat, a heating resistance pad is embedded inside the heating seat, a heating area is provided at the bottom of the heating seat, and an isolation base is provided at the bottom of the heating seat.

[0016] The outer wall of the central insert is inserted into the inner wall of the bottom slot, and the outer wall of the positioning ring is inserted into the inner wall of the positioning ring groove. With the heating base assembly in place, during use, when the plate assembly is inserted into the heating base assembly and the assembly is powered on, the heating resistance pad heats up, thereby heating the bottom of the plate through the heating area to maintain the temperature of the food in the plate, thus improving the user experience. The insertion of the outer wall of the central insert into the inner wall of the bottom slot and the insertion of the outer wall of the positioning ring into the inner wall of the positioning ring groove achieves a good positioning effect between the plate and the heating base.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following main advantages:

[0018] The plate assembly is designed with several annular slots separating the plate into areas of equal size. By inserting the first, second, third, and fourth annular inserts in sequence, each annular insert can form a food trough of the same volume. Users can select the appropriate annular inserts to insert into the annular slots according to the individual circumstances of the patient or the person trying to lose weight, thereby creating food troughs of different volumes to meet different food intake needs.

[0019] With the heating base assembly in place, when the plate assembly is inserted into the heating base assembly and the heating base assembly is powered on, the heating resistance pad heats up, thereby heating the bottom of the plate through the heating area to maintain the temperature of the food in the plate and improve the user experience of the plate. The design of the outer wall of the center insert block and the inner wall of the bottom slot, as well as the outer wall of the positioning ring and the inner wall of the positioning ring groove, can achieve a good positioning effect between the plate and the heating base.
