Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food texture grading testing technology, and in particular to a tool kit for storing food texture grading testing containers. Background Technology
[0002] Food texture grading tests are typically used to assess and determine the texture and consistency of foods, particularly to suit the dietary needs of patients with dysphagia. A key objective of food grading tests is to provide safe and effective dietary support for patients with dysphagia. This toolkit usually involves testing the texture and consistency of foods to ensure that patients can swallow them safely without causing aspiration or other complications.
[0003] To establish and standardize global standards for accurately describing and measuring the texture of foods and the consistency of beverages suitable for people with dysphagia, the International Dysphagia Food Standards Action Committee (IDDSI) launched the International Dysphagia Food Standards in 2016. This standard was introduced to China in 2021 and is being promoted nationwide. However, food grading tests require flow test syringes, spoons, and forks for accurate measurement of different food grades. The lack of a toolkit for storing these three items in a centralized location during testing hinders efficiency. Therefore, we propose a toolkit for storing containers used in food grading tests to address this issue, facilitating the nationwide adoption of IDDSI. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toolkit for storing food texture grading test containers, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The left side of the decorative cover is hinged to the left side of the tool box, and three storage slots are provided at the bottom of the decorative cover and the top of the tool box. A storage cavity is formed in two adjacent storage slots. The testing instruments include a flow test syringe, a spoon, and a fork, which are respectively placed in the corresponding storage cavities.
[0007] A guide rail is fixedly installed on one side of the toolbox, and a buckle plate is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rail. A T-shaped plate is fixedly installed on one side of the decorative cover, and the buckle plate is movably sleeved on the outer side of the T-shaped plate. A positioning plate is slidably connected to one side of the buckle plate. A positioning groove is opened on one side of the guide rail, and the positioning plate is movably engaged in the corresponding positioning groove.
[0008] Preferably, a vertical plate is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plate, two horizontal rods are fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate, a baffle is fixedly connected to the left end of the two horizontal rods, a return spring is fixedly connected to the right side of the baffle, and the right end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the buckle plate.
[0009] Preferably, a pull ring is fixedly connected to the right side of the upright plate, and two horizontal holes are opened on the right side of the buckle plate, with the two horizontal rods slidably connected in the corresponding horizontal holes.
[0010] Preferably, both the decorative cover and the toolbox are fixedly equipped with a lifting handle on their rear sides.
[0011] Preferably, a first hinge bracket is fixedly installed on the bottom left side of the decorative cover, and a second hinge bracket is fixedly installed on the left side of the tool box, with the first hinge bracket and the second hinge bracket being rotatably connected.
[0012] Preferably, limit plates are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the guide rail.
[0013] Preferably, the buckle plate has a groove on its left side, and the baffle is slidably connected in the groove.
[0014] In this utility model, a tool bag for storing food grading test containers is provided. The tool box under the decorative cover is fixed by the cooperation of the buckle plate and the T-shaped plate. The forward and backward movement of the buckle plate is restricted by the cooperation of the positioning plate and the positioning groove, thereby improving the fixing effect of the decorative cover and the tool box. The storage cavity formed by the decorative cover and the tool box facilitates the separate storage of food grading test spoons, forks and flow test syringes, preventing them from being bumped during movement.
[0015] In this utility model, a tool bag for storing food texture grading test containers is provided. By pulling the pull ring to the right, the positioning plate is disengaged from the positioning groove. Then, by pulling the buckle back and forth, the buckle is disengaged from the T-shaped plate, thereby releasing the fixing of the decorative cover and making it easy to open the decorative cover.
[0016] This utility model has a reasonable structural design. The combination of positioning plate, buckle plate and T-shaped plate makes it easy to fix the top and bottom of the bag. The storage cavity formed inside facilitates the separate storage of test containers, preventing bumps during carrying and ensuring storage effect. Attached Figure Description
