Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lunch box technology, specifically relating to a lunch box with weighing function. Background Technology

[0002] Patients in the hematology department are critically ill, especially bone marrow transplant patients, and all require 24-hour intake and output records. For water intake, patients can use graduated cups to record their water consumption, but for oral food intake, most patients cannot accurately record the amount, and the recorded measurements are often ambiguous. Traditional lunch boxes have a simple structure and single function, only serving to hold food. If the food is weighed before and after each meal, the operation is too cumbersome and complicated, seriously affecting the work efficiency of medical staff. Based on this, we propose a lunch box with a weighing function. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lunchbox with a weighing function, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a lunch box with weighing function, including a box body 1, a box lid 2 installed on the top of the box body 1, a weighing sensor 3 installed at the bottom inside the box body 1, a bracket 4 installed on the top of the weighing sensor 3, a food container 5 placed on the top of the bracket 4, a storage groove 6 opened at the top of the box lid 2, a first arc-shaped clip 7 and a second arc-shaped clip 8 installed in the storage groove 6, and a cover 9 rotatably installed on the top of the storage groove 6.

[0022] In this embodiment, the container assembly 5 includes a container box 51, and a partition 52 is installed inside the container box 51. The partition 52 divides the container box 51 into multiple container cavities 53. The container box 51 is placed inside the box body 1 and on top of the support 4.

[0023] Specifically, the container 51 is divided into multiple containers 53 by the partition 52. The containers 53 allow the container 51 to be used to classify and store different foods. Since the container 51 is placed inside the box body 1 and on top of the support 4, the weighing sensor 3 can weigh the container 51. The weight of the container 51 can be weighed before the meal and again after the meal. This method allows medical staff to quickly measure the amount of food consumed by patients.

[0024] In this embodiment, the support 4 includes a frame 41 with a cross structure. A protrusion 42 is integrally provided at the end of the frame 41. A relief groove 43 is provided on the surface of the protrusion 42. The bottom of the container 51 is placed in the relief groove 43. The curvature of the relief groove 43 matches the curvature of the bottom of the container 51.

[0025] Specifically, the relief groove 43 provided on the surface of the protrusion 42 can effectively support the bottom of the container 51, and the relief groove 43 can limit the bottom of the container 51 to prevent the bottom of the container 51 from shaking on the top of the bracket 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, a limiting ring 54 is provided on the top side of the container 51, and the diameter of the limiting ring 54 matches the inner diameter of the container body 1.

[0027] Specifically, the limiting ring 54 is set to limit the container 51, so that the container 51 will not shake when placed in the box body 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, a limiting strip 10 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the storage groove 6, and a first magnet is embedded in the limiting strip 10. A second magnet 11 is embedded on one side of the bottom of the cover 9. When the cover 9 covers the storage groove 6, the second magnet 11 is located directly above the first magnet.

[0029] Specifically, the first arc-shaped clip 7 and the second arc-shaped clip 8 can clamp and fix the chopsticks and spoons respectively, so that the storage slot 6 can store the tableware. After the cover 9 is closed, the limit strip 10, together with the first magnet and the second magnet 11, can fix the cover 9, reducing the risk of the cover 9 being opened accidentally.

[0030] In this embodiment, the shielding cover 9 has an easy-fastening groove 12 on one side surface of the second magnet 11.

[0031] Specifically, the easy-open slot 12 allows users to open the cover 9 and retrieve the tableware.

[0032] In this embodiment, a display screen 13 for displaying weight is installed on the surface of the box 1, a battery 14 and a controller 15 are installed inside the box 1, a charging connector 16 electrically connected to the battery 14 and a control switch 17 for controlling the power supply of the battery 14 are installed on the bottom side of the box 1, the weighing sensor 3 is electrically connected to the controller 15, and the controller 15 is electrically connected to the display screen 13.

[0033] Specifically, the charging connector 16 facilitates the charging of the storage battery 14, allowing the lunchbox to be reused for extended periods. The power supply to the storage battery 14 can be controlled via the control switch 17. When the lunchbox is not in use, the power supply to the storage battery 14 can be disconnected to reduce power consumption. After the container 51 is placed on top of the support 4, the weighing sensor 3 detects the weight and displays the detected weight on the display screen 13 via the controller 15, allowing medical staff to quickly and easily understand the patient's food intake.

[0034] In this embodiment, both the box body 1 and the box lid 2 are filled with thermal insulation material.

[0035] Specifically, this method enables the lunchbox to have a heat preservation function.

[0036] Working principle: The container 51 is placed inside the box body 1 and supported by the bracket 4. The weighing sensor 3 can weigh the container 51. The weight of the container 51 before the meal can be displayed on the display screen 13, and the weight of the container 51 after the meal can also be displayed on the display screen 13. In this way, medical staff can quickly measure the amount of food consumed by patients. The storage slot 6, together with the first arc-shaped clip 7 and the second arc-shaped clip 8, can store chopsticks and spoons, making the tableware easy to carry. The container 51 can also be removed for easy cleaning.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
