[0032] 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.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 One embodiment of this utility model is an adjustable portion serving plate, which includes a plate body 1 for supporting the whole device, a food holding component 2 for holding food on the inner wall of the plate body 1, and a weighing component 4 for calculating the weight of food on the inner wall of the plate body 1.

[0035] The weighing assembly 4 includes a weighing plate 41 for pulling a tension sensor 43. The weighing plate 41 slides on the inner wall of the pan body 1. The inner wall of the pan body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 42 for accommodating the tension sensor 43. The receiving groove 42 and the weighing plate 41 are interconnected through the tension sensor 43. The tension sensor 43 used here is an S-type tension sensor, which can measure vertical tension and pressure. When the weighing plate 41 is subjected to downward pressure, it will be forced to move downward, thus pulling the tension sensor 43 to count. A movable groove 46 is provided between the weighing plate 41 and the inner wall of the pan body 1 for moving the weighing plate 41. The front surface is equipped with a control panel 3 for the operator to easily observe the readings. The control panel 3 is electrically connected to the tension sensor 43 via wires. When the tension sensor 43 is pulled, it will start counting, and the count can be displayed to the operator through the control panel 3. The operator can judge the weight of the food by observing the count. A battery is installed on the inner wall of the control panel 3, and a charging port 31 for powering the battery is provided on the outer wall of the control panel 3. Since the charging port 31 and the battery are both inherent components of the control panel 3, and the control panel 3 is prior art, it can start working as soon as the power is turned on, so it will not be described in detail in this case.

[0036] Reference Figures 2-4 The holding component 2 includes a food container 26, which is inserted into the inner wall of the plate body 1. Multiple food containers 26 can be used to hold different types of food, thus facilitating classification. The upper surface of the food container 26 is provided with a raised edge 27, which makes it easy for the operator to pick up the food container 26. The holding component 2 also includes a base plate 21 for supporting the food container 26. The base plate 21 is inserted into the inner wall of the plate body 1. The upper surface of the base plate 21 is provided with a connecting sleeve 23, and the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 23 is provided with a spacer for receiving the insert 28. The slot 24 and the container 26 are provided with a plug 28 at one end near the center of the plate 1 for connecting the connecting sleeve 23 and the container 26. The plug 28 is inserted into the inner wall of the slot 24. The plug 28 is trapezoidal, and the width of its end face away from the container 26 is greater than the width of its end face near the container 26. Therefore, the plug 28 can only move up and down into the slot 24 and cannot move horizontally into the slot 24. The upper surface of the base plate 21 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 22 for fixing the connecting sleeve 23. The connecting sleeve 23 is threaded to the outer wall of the fixing rod 22.

[0037] Reference Figures 2-4The upper surface of the connecting sleeve 23 is provided with a connecting groove 25 for accommodating the fixing bolt 29. The inner wall of the connecting sleeve 23 is threaded with the fixing bolt 29. By using the fixing bolt 29 to press the upper surface of the container 26, the container 26 can be prevented from moving upward at will. Multiple sets of tension sensors 43 are provided. The multiple sets of tension sensors 43 are arranged in a rotating array with the center line of the disc 1 as the rotation axis. The multiple sets of tension sensors 43 can measure the base plate 21 from multiple points, which can improve the accuracy of the measurement. The inner wall of the disc 1 is fixedly connected with a slider 45 for guiding the weighing plate 41. The lower surface of the weighing plate 41 is provided with a groove 44 that matches the slider 45. By using the slider 45 to guide the weighing plate 41, the weighing plate 41 can be kept vertically moving up and down. The slot 24 runs from top to bottom through the upper and lower surfaces of the tension sensor 43. With this design, it is easier to clean after the operator removes the connecting sleeve 23.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the control panel 3 is removed in this embodiment. A housing 5 is installed in the original position of the control panel 3. The charging port 31 on the outside of the control panel 3 and the internal battery are all installed inside and outside the housing 5. A wireless connection module 6 is installed inside the housing 5. The wireless connection module 6 is existing technology. It can connect to a wireless network and send signals to a mobile terminal. This makes it convenient for the operator to use a mobile terminal to view the device. This method is more expensive but more convenient to operate.

[0040] Working principle: When the user prepares to place food, they first place the empty serving component 2 above the weighing plate 41. At this time, under the action of its own weight and the weight of the serving component 2, the weighing plate 41 will slide downward along the movable groove 46 on the inner wall of the plate body 1. Because the weighing plate 41 and the storage groove 42 are connected by a tension sensor 43, the downward movement of the weighing plate 41 will pull the tension sensor 43. Here, an S-shaped tension sensor is used, which can accurately measure the vertical tension and pressure. When subjected to a downward tension, it will start counting. At the same time, multiple sets of [data] centered on the plate body 1 [data]... The tension sensor 43, which is set up in a rotating array with the line as the rotating axis, will measure the base plate 21 from multiple points, greatly improving the accuracy of the measurement. After the tension sensor 43 counts, the generated electrical signal will be transmitted to the control panel 3 through the wire. The circuit inside the control panel 3 will process the received signal and display the corresponding weight value on the display screen, so that the user can intuitively understand the weight of the food placed on it. The control panel 3 is equipped with a battery, which can be charged through the charging port 31 to ensure that the serving plate can work normally without an external power source.

[0041] When holding food, users can choose to put different foods into multiple containers 26 according to the type of food. The containers 26 are connected to the base plate 21 by inserting the plug 28 at one end into the slot 24 on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 23. Since the plug 28 is designed as a trapezoid, this special shape means that it can only be inserted into the slot 24 by moving up and down, which effectively prevents the containers 26 from accidentally falling off due to horizontal external force during use.

[0042] The connecting sleeve 23 is threaded to the fixing rod 22. This connection method ensures the stability of the connecting sleeve 23 and facilitates disassembly when needed. At the same time, the upper surface of the connecting sleeve 23 is provided with a connecting groove 25. The fixing bolt 29 is threaded to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 23. After tightening the fixing bolt 29, it will press the upper surface of the container 26, further preventing the container 26 from moving upward at will during use.

[0043] When the serving plate needs to be cleaned, due to its modular design, all parts of the holding component 2 can be disassembled. First, unscrew the fixing bolt 29, remove the holding box 26 from the connecting sleeve 23, and then unscrew the connecting sleeve 23 from the fixing rod 22. This allows each part to be cleaned separately. At the same time, since the slot 24 runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the tension sensor 43, the slot 24 and other parts on the tension sensor 43 are easier to clean after the connecting sleeve 23 is removed, and no food residue will remain, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the serving plate.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
