Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of diabetes care technology, and in particular relates to a quantitative diet plate. Background Technology

[0002] Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, mainly caused by insufficient insulin secretion or impaired insulin utilization. Long-term abnormal blood sugar can lead to damage to multiple systems, including the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and cardiovascular system. Typical symptoms of diabetes include polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, and weight loss. Some patients are asymptomatic in the early stages and need to be diagnosed through tests such as fasting blood glucose and glucose tolerance test.

[0003] Diabetic patients usually need to control their diet, but the existing plates are usually divided into fixed sections that cannot be adjusted, making it inconvenient for patients to control their diet. Therefore, we have proposed a quantitative diet plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quantitative diet plate. Specifically, by setting up plate dividers, rotating a circular knob counterclockwise causes a fixedly connected bidirectional screw to rotate. The bidirectional screw is threadedly connected to the plate dividers, causing the left and right plate dividers to move closer to each other. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the two plate dividers and the distance between the plate dividers and the inner surface of the plate itself. This facilitates user control of the plate's divider capacity, enabling patients to manage their diet. It solves the problem that existing plate dividers are usually fixed and cannot be adjusted, hindering dietary control for diabetic patients who typically need to manage their diet.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a quantitative dining plate, comprising a plate body. Two lead screw housings are fixedly connected to the front and back of the plate body, mirror-shaped with the plate body as the center. The sides of the two lead screw housings closest to each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the plate body. A bidirectional lead screw is located at the center of the rear lead screw housing. The left and right sides of the bidirectional lead screw extend outwards through the rear lead screw housing and are rotatably connected. A circular knob is fixedly connected to the leftmost side of the bidirectional lead screw. Plate partitions are located on the left and right sides inside the plate body. The outer surfaces of the two plate partitions contact the inner surface of the plate body. Internal threads are located at the center of the rear top of each of the two plate partitions. The plate partitions are threaded to the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw via the internal threads at the rear center. The circular knob allows the patient to easily control the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw. The threaded connection between the bidirectional lead screw and the plate partitions allows adjustment of the distance between the two plate partitions by rotating and adjusting the direction of rotation of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0007] Furthermore, a plate shell is fitted onto the outer surface of the plate body. The top outer surface of the plate shell contacts the bottom outer surface of the plate body and the bottom outer surface of the lead screw shell. Several rectangular slots are provided on the bottom outer surface of the plate body. Several rectangular blocks are fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the plate shell. The outer surface of the rectangular blocks and the inner surface of the rectangular slots are adapted to each other and inserted. By setting the insertion relationship between the rectangular slots and the rectangular blocks, the plate body can be fixedly connected to the plate shell fitted onto the outer surface of the bottom outer surface, thus protecting the plate body and preventing it from being damaged by impact.

[0008] Furthermore, several square and round protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw housing on the left and right sides of the top of the plate body. Several rounded protrusions are fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the plate housing. Threaded holes are formed at the center of each of the square and round protrusions and the rounded protrusions. The plate housing, plate body, and lead screw housing are fixedly connected to each other through the threaded holes. A shaped insert is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of each of the two lead screw housings. A shaped slot is formed on the foremost and rearmost sides of the top outer surface of the plate housing. The two shaped slots are mirror images of each other with the plate housing as the center. The inner surface of the shaped slots and the outer surface of the shaped inserts are adapted to each other and inserted into each other. A rectangular groove is provided at the top center of the bottom inner surface of the tray shell. The rectangular groove is fitted onto the outer side of the bottom outer surface of the tray body. The inner surface of the rectangular groove is in contact with the outer surface of the tray body. The bottom of the rectangular groove is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom inner surface of the tray body. Rounded handles are fixedly connected to the top of the left and right sides of the tray shell. The two rounded handles are mirror images of the tray shell. The rounded handles make it easy for patients to pick up the tray body. The screw holes of the square and round protrusions and the rounded protrusions make it easy for patients to insert screws into the screw holes to tightly connect the tray body, the screw shell and the tray shell together.

[0009] Furthermore, a cylindrical slide rail is provided at the center of the lead screw housing on the front side. The outer surface of the cylindrical slide rail penetrates the center of the front side of the two plate dividers and continues to extend outward. The inner surface of the plate divider at the penetration point is slidably connected to the outer surface of the cylindrical slide rail. The leftmost and rightmost ends of the cylindrical slide rail are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the lead screw housing on the front side. By setting the cylindrical slide rail, the movement of the plate dividers can be assisted. When the bidirectional lead screw drives the plate dividers to move, they will slide along the outer surface of the cylindrical slide rail to prevent the plate dividers from deflecting during movement.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom outer surface of the plate cover contacts the top outer surface of the two lead screw housings, and the bottom rear side of the plate cover is rotatably connected to the top of the lead screw housing located on the rear side. A storage box is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the plate cover, and a box drawer is slidably connected to the right side of the storage box. By setting the sliding connection between the box drawer and the storage box, it is convenient for the patient to pull the box drawer out from the inside of the storage box. The patient can put the medicine inside the box drawer, making it convenient for the patient to take the medicine in a timely manner while eating.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model features a plate divider. Specifically, rotating a circular knob counterclockwise causes a fixedly connected bidirectional screw to rotate. The bidirectional screw is threadedly connected to the plate divider, causing the plate dividers on the left and right sides to move closer to each other. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the two plate dividers and the distance between the plate dividers and the inner surface of the plate body. This facilitates user control of the capacity of the plate dividers, making it easier for patients to manage their diet.
