Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, specifically to a diabetes health diet calculation device. Background Technology

[0002] Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistently elevated blood glucose levels. It includes type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is primarily treated through lifestyle interventions (such as diet control and exercise) and medications (such as oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin).

[0003] Carbohydrates are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and are one of the main energy sources for the human body. They are broken down into glucose in the body, providing energy for cells. They are widely found in various foods (such as rice, noodles, tofu, etc.). For diabetic patients, excessive carbohydrate intake can worsen insulin resistance or insufficient insulin secretion, making blood sugar control more difficult. In the long run, this may lead to complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and neuropathy.

[0004] In current technology, patients determine their daily carbohydrate intake based on individual circumstances (such as age, gender, weight, activity level, etc.) and their doctor's advice. The volumetric method, a common approach for measuring carbohydrate intake, typically uses standard tools like measuring cups and spoons to measure the volume of food, estimates the carbohydrate content based on the food's nutritional information, and then transfers it to a bowl for consumption. However, when the required intake is insufficient to fill the measuring cup, the volume of food added needs to be manually adjusted, and the amount must be visually assessed using markings on the side of the measuring cup, which is quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a diabetes health diet calculation device to solve the problem in the prior art that when the required food intake is insufficient to fill the measuring cup, it is necessary to manually adjust the volume of food added into the measuring cup and judge whether the amount added is sufficient by visually inspecting the scale lines and other markers on the side wall of the measuring cup, which is quite troublesome.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A diabetes health diet calculation device includes a box with a hollow structure and an open top. A partition is provided inside the box, and the partition divides the inside of the box into a left chamber and a right chamber.

[0008] The partition is slidably connected to the box body along the length of the box body.

[0009] Furthermore, the top surface of the side wall in the width direction of the box body is provided with scale lines evenly arranged in the length direction of the box body.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the partition plate has a through hole connecting the left chamber and the right chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the bottom wall of the right chamber inside the box.

[0012] Furthermore, both sides of the inner wall of the box along the width direction are provided with strip-shaped grooves extending in the length direction of the box.

[0013] The partition plate has protrusions on its two vertical sides that correspond one-to-one with the two strip grooves. One end of each protrusion is connected to the partition plate, and the other end is inserted into the corresponding strip groove and slides freely along the length of the strip groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the partition plate has storage holes on its two vertical sides that correspond one-to-one with the two protrusions, and one end of each storage hole is open opposite to the opening of the corresponding strip groove.

[0015] One end of the protrusion is inserted into the corresponding storage hole and slides along the length of the protrusion, and the protrusion can be completely embedded in the corresponding storage hole;

[0016] An adjustment part is provided between the partition and the ridge to adjust the length of the ridge extending from the corresponding storage hole.

[0017] Furthermore, a friction plate is fixedly connected to one end of the convex strip facing the corresponding groove.

[0018] Furthermore, a cavity is provided in the partition between the two storage holes, and the cavity is connected to the two storage holes;

[0019] The adjustment unit includes a rotating block embedded in the cavity with an elliptical horizontal cross-section in the middle. The bottom end of the rotating block is inserted into the bottom wall of the cavity and rotates to engage with it. The top end of the rotating block extends through the top wall of the cavity and out of the partition.

[0020] Both of the protruding strips are movably connected to the middle side wall of the rotating block at the end facing the rotating block. When the long axis end of the middle part of the rotating block is opposite to the two storage holes, the protruding strip at the end facing away from the rotating block abuts against the inner wall of the corresponding strip groove. When the short axis end of the middle part of the rotating block is opposite to the storage hole, the protruding strip is completely embedded in the corresponding storage hole.

[0021] Furthermore, the rotating block has a closed-loop groove extending in the direction of the elliptical outline on its middle side wall. The end of the convex strip facing the rotating block is inserted into the groove and slides in cooperation with the groove along the extension direction of the groove.

[0022] Furthermore, a lever parallel to the long axis of the middle section of the rotating block is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating block.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] This diabetes health diet calculation device uses either the left or right chamber of the container to measure food volume. By sliding a partition between the left and right chambers, their internal volumes can be adjusted, allowing users to increase or decrease the space available for food. Users can adjust the volume of either chamber to match the desired food volume, then fill the corresponding chamber. This completes the food volume measurement without requiring manual adjustment of the amount added, providing convenience for the user.

[0040] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a diabetes health diet calculation device, including a box 1 with a hollow structure and an open top, wherein a partition 2 is provided inside the box 1, and the partition 2 divides the inside of the box 1 into a left chamber and a right chamber.

[0041] The partition 2 is slidably connected to the box body 1 along the length of the box body 1.

[0042] In this design, food volume is measured by placing food in either the left or right chamber of the container 1. By sliding the partition 2 to the container 1, the internal capacity of the left and right chambers can be adjusted, allowing for increasing or decreasing the space used to hold the food. The food volume can be measured by adjusting the capacity of the left or right chamber to match the desired food volume, then placing the food into the corresponding chamber until it is full. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the food amount, providing convenience for the user.

[0043] The partition 2 has two planes along the width direction of the box body 1 that are respectively attached to the two sides of the box body 1 along the width direction, restricting the movement of the partition 2 within the box body 1 along the width direction. The bottom edge of the partition 2 is attached to the bottom surface of the box body 1, serving as a partition between the left and right chambers. Furthermore, the partition 2 can be tightly connected to the box body 1 to increase the friction between them, thereby restricting the free sliding of the partition 2 within the box body 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the interior of box 1 is a rectangular groove. The volume formula for a cuboid is: length × width × height = volume. The length of the base in the length direction corresponds to the length, the width of the base corresponds to the width, and the depth of box 1 corresponds to the height. Since the width and height are fixed, by sliding a scraper inside box 1, the corresponding length values ​​of the left and right chambers can be changed. This allows the calculation of the changes in the spatial dimensions of the left and right chambers, and thus the deduction of the spatial dimensions of either the left or right chamber.

[0045] In use, the patient or medical staff calculates the required volume of a specific food (such as rice, noodles, or other foods with small gaps between them) based on the patient's physical condition. They then manually apply a pushing force to the partition 2, causing it to slide within the container 1, and measure the distance the partition 2 moves. This adjusts the volume of the left or right chamber to match the required food volume. The food is then placed into the corresponding chamber and filled. This completes the food volume measurement. Simultaneously, the device can be used as tableware, allowing patients to eat directly from the container 1, eliminating the need to transfer food to a bowl and providing greater convenience.

[0046] In this embodiment: The top surface of the side wall in the width direction of the box body 1 is provided with scale lines 11 that are evenly arranged in the length direction of the box body 1.

[0047] In this scheme, the scale line 11 can be used to represent the length values ​​at various points from one side wall to the other side wall along the length direction, and can intuitively obtain the long side values ​​of the left and right chambers corresponding to the position of the partition 2.

[0048] Alternatively, the long side value can be converted into the spatial dimension value of the left or right chamber at the location of partition 2 (the volume of food after being filled with food), and recorded on the box 1 to help patients or medical staff adjust the position of partition 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the partition 2 is provided with a through hole 21 that connects the left chamber and the right chamber.

[0050] In this design, the through hole 21 is used for sauces or soups in food to pass through, and the partition 2 can act as a filter to separate solid food and liquid juices.

[0051] Because some food juices contain a lot of starch (such as thickening sauces, noodle soups, etc.), the starch in the juice will increase carbohydrate intake and lead to a rise in blood sugar. The partition 2 can separate the juice from the food to a certain extent, reducing the amount of juice consumed.

[0052] In this embodiment, a groove 12 is provided on the bottom wall of the right chamber inside the box 1.

[0053] In this design, the left chamber is used to hold food, and the right chamber collects the juice filtered and separated from the partition 2.

[0054] The bottom surface of the groove 12 is at a lower level than the bottom surface of the box 1, so that the juice is stored in the groove 12 and the juice can be prevented from flowing back into the left cavity, thus further reducing the amount of juice consumed.

[0055] In this embodiment: both sides of the inner wall of the box body 1 along the width direction are provided with strip grooves 13 extending in the length direction of the box body 1;

[0056] The partition plate 2 has two vertical sides with protrusions 22 corresponding to the two strip grooves 13. One end of the protrusion 22 is connected to the partition plate 2, and the other end is inserted into the corresponding strip groove 13 and slides freely along the length of the strip groove 13.

[0057] In this design, the protrusion 22 is in the shape of a quadrangular prism. The top and bottom surfaces of the section of the protrusion 22 inserted into the strip groove 13 are respectively attached to the top and bottom planes of the strip groove 13, which can restrict the partition 2 from moving vertically within the box body 1, so that the partition 2 can only move along the length of the box body 1 within the box body 1.

[0058] In this embodiment: the partition plate 2 has storage holes 24 on its two vertical sides that correspond one-to-one with the two protrusions 22, and one end of the storage hole 24 is open opposite to the opening of the corresponding strip groove 13;

[0059] One end of the protrusion 22 is inserted into the corresponding storage hole 24 and slides along the length of the protrusion 22, and the protrusion 22 can be completely embedded in the corresponding storage hole 24;

[0060] An adjustment part is provided between the partition 2 and the protrusion 22 for adjusting the length of the protrusion 22 extending from the corresponding storage hole 24.

[0061] In this embodiment, a friction plate 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the protrusion 22 facing the corresponding groove 13.

[0062] In this design, the friction plate 23 can be made of materials such as silicone or food-grade rubber, which have a high coefficient of friction. It can be fixedly installed on the end face of the protrusion 22 by means of bonding or other methods.

[0063] The length of the protrusion 22 extending from the corresponding storage hole 24 is adjusted by the adjustment part, so that the end of the protrusion 22 facing away from the partition 2 is inserted into the corresponding strip groove 13. The friction plate 23 is tightly attached to the plane of the strip groove 13 facing away from the opening, and the friction force restricts the protrusion 22 from sliding along the length direction of the strip groove 13 in the strip groove 13, thus locking the partition 2.

[0064] In this embodiment: a cavity 25 is provided in the partition 2 between the two storage holes 24, and the cavity 25 is connected to the two storage holes 24;

[0065] The adjustment part includes a rotating block 3 embedded in the cavity 25 and having an elliptical horizontal cross section in the middle. The bottom end of the rotating block 3 is inserted into the bottom wall of the cavity 25 and rotates to engage with it. The top end of the rotating block 3 extends through the top wall of the cavity 25 and out of the partition plate 2.

[0066] Both of the protruding strips 22 are movably connected to the middle side wall of the rotating block 3 at the end facing the rotating block 3. When the long axis end of the middle part of the rotating block 3 is opposite to the two storage holes 24, the protruding strip 22 at the end facing away from the rotating block 3 abuts against the inner wall of the corresponding strip groove 13. When the short axis end of the middle part of the rotating block 3 is opposite to the storage hole 24, the protruding strip 22 is completely embedded in the corresponding storage hole 24.

[0067] In this design, the internal space of cavity 25 is larger than the external shape of rotating block 3, and rotating block 3 can rotate freely within cavity 25.

[0068] The rotating block 3 can rotate within the cavity 25 and present the following three states:

[0069] State 1, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the long axis of the rotating block 3 are respectively opposite to the two receiving holes 24. The rotating block 3 abuts against one end of the protrusion 22, and the other end of the protrusion 22 is inserted into the corresponding strip groove 13, with its end face abutting against a plane opposite to the opening of the strip groove 13. The partition 2 is locked to restrict its movement.

[0070] State 2, such as Figure 7 As shown, the two ends of the rotating block 3 in the middle axis direction are respectively opposite to the two storage holes 24. The protrusion 22 moves out of the strip groove 13 and is completely embedded in the storage hole 24. The protrusion 22 eliminates the restriction on the movement of the partition 2, and the partition 2 can be removed from the box body 1 for cleaning and disinfection.

[0071] State 3: The protrusion 22 is between State 1 and State 2. The end face of the protrusion 22 is no longer in contact with the plane opposite to the opening of the strip groove 13, but a part of the protrusion 22 is still inserted into the strip hole. The protrusion 22 can restrict the partition 2 from moving vertically within the box 1, but can move along the length of the box 1 to adjust the position of the partition 2.

[0072] In this embodiment: the middle side wall of the rotating block 3 is provided with a sliding groove 31 that extends in the direction of the elliptical outline and forms a closed loop. The end of the protrusion 22 facing the rotating block 3 is inserted into the sliding groove 31 and slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 31 along the extension direction of the sliding groove 31.

[0073] In this design, the end of the protrusion 22 facing the rotating block 3 is spherical and is adapted to the slide groove 31. By embedding the spherical end of the protrusion 22 into the slide groove 31, the spherical end of the protrusion 22 can slide within the slide groove 31.

[0074] In use, the rotating block 3 is twisted at one end of the partition 2, so that the rotating block 3 rotates and applies an external force along the length of the convex strip 22 to the ball end of the convex strip 22, so that the convex strip 22 slides in the sliding groove 31, moving closer to or away from the rotation center line of the rotating block 3, that is, the convex strip 22 slides into the storage hole 24 or slides out of the storage hole 24 and inserts into the strip groove 13, realizing the conversion between state one and state two.

[0075] In this embodiment, a lever 32 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the middle section of the rotating block 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating block 3.

[0076] In this design, the lever 32 is long and thin, and its length direction is consistent with the long axis direction of the rotating block 3, which can help determine the position of the protrusion 22.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
