Description

Feeding container for preventing food from mildew

Technical Field

The utility model belongs to the technical field of food containers, and particularly provides a feeding container for preventing food from mildew.

Background

Some patients clinically can only eat liquid diet due to physical reasons. Because the patient's body is weak, the patient is often unable to eat the liquid diet at one time.

Currently, containers for fluid foods for patients are typically bowls and cups (e.g., disposable paper cups). Whatever the container, the food material within it is exposed to air during consumption by the patient, resulting in the food material being susceptible to oxidation and mildew. Although the popularity of refrigerators allows patients to cool unused liquid foods, it is also only possible to slow down mildew. A small amount of mildewed food (which cannot be seen by naked eyes) still has a great danger for patients with weaker bodies, and is unfavorable for the rehabilitation of the patients.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood by those skilled in the art according to the specific circumstances.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in some embodiments of the present utility model, a feeding container for preventing mildew of food includes a cup body 10, a cover body 20, and a straw 30.

Wherein the cup body 10 defines a receiving chamber 11 such that the cup body 10 receives the liquid diet 40 (shown in fig. 7 and 8) through the receiving chamber 11. The cover 20 is detachably installed in the accommodating chamber 11 and is slidably coupled with the cup 10 in the depth direction of the accommodating chamber 11. That is, the lid 20 can move up and down with respect to the cup 10. The suction pipe 30 communicates with a portion of the accommodating chamber 11 located at the bottom side of the cover 20 through one end thereof and is opened to the outside through the other end thereof. At least one-way valve 31 is provided in the straw 30, the one-way valve 31 being adapted to allow the liquid diet 40 to flow only from one end of the straw 30 to the other. That is, the check valve 31 allows the food 40 to flow only from the inside to the outside of the cup 10 through the straw 30.

As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the accommodating chamber 11 is provided in a cylindrical space structure of equal diameter to ensure that the cover 20 can freely slide in the depth direction of the accommodating chamber 11.

Alternatively, the person skilled in the art may set only the middle upper portion of the accommodating chamber 11 to have a columnar space structure of equal diameter, as necessary.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the cover 20 is provided at a circumferential edge thereof with a guide structure 21 extending upward or downward, the guide structure 21 being for guiding the cover 20 to slide within the cup 10 to prevent the cover 20 from being turned over.

As shown in fig. 1, the guide structure 21 is an annular flange formed on the cover 20.

In addition, in other embodiments of the present utility model, the guiding structure 21 may be provided as desired by those skilled in the art in any other possible structure, such as a plurality of protruding structures equally spaced along the circumferential direction of the cover 20.

It should be noted that, due to the sliding contact between the lid 20 and the cup 10, there may be a small gap due to a machining error, a machining process, or the like, so as to ensure that the lid 20 can freely slide with respect to the cup 10. Even so, the present utility model effectively eliminates the contact of the liquid diet 40 (shown in fig. 7 and 8) with the air within the cup 10, as compared to prior art open containers (e.g., bowls).

Further, since the liquid food 40 has a certain viscosity, the gap between the lid 20 and the cup 10 can be sealed, and therefore, only a small portion of the liquid food 40 is in contact with the air. Also, because the liquid diet 40 has a certain viscosity, a part of the liquid diet 40 is difficult to be sucked by the patient when the cover 20 contacts with the bottom wall of the cup body 10, thereby ensuring the health of the patient.

With continued reference to fig. 1-3, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the cover 20 is provided with a relief aperture 22, and the straw 30 passes through the relief aperture 22 and is slidably coupled to the cover 20.

Among them, there may be a small gap due to a machining error, a machining process, etc. in sliding contact between the straw 30 and the cover 20. Since the liquid 40 has a certain viscosity, it can seal the gap between the straw 30 and the cover 20, so that only a small portion of the liquid 40 is in contact with the air. Also, because the liquid diet 40 has a certain viscosity, a part of the liquid diet 40 is difficult to be sucked by the patient when the cover 20 contacts with the bottom wall of the cup body 10, thereby ensuring the health of the patient.

Moreover, when the liquid diet 40 is sucked to the bottom, it is not sucked again for the average person, so that the patient is subjectively hard to suck a small amount of the liquid diet 40 in contact with the air, and the health of the patient is ensured.

In order to reduce the sliding resistance between the suction pipe 30 and the cover 20, the portion of the cover 20 at the escape hole 22 thereof is provided as an elastic sheet. The elastic sheet may be a plastic sheet or a rubber sheet.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present utility model, at least one-way valve 31 is provided within straw 30, and one-way valve 31 is used to enable liquid diet 40 to flow only from one end of straw 30 to the other. That is, the check valve 31 allows the food 40 to flow only from the cup 10 to the outside through the straw 30.

The one-way valve 31 may be any feasible number of one, two, three, etc. When the check valves 31 are not less than two, the plurality of check valves 31 are spaced apart.

Further, regardless of the number of check valves 31, the straw 30 must be provided with one check valve 31 near its outlet to reduce the distance between the outlet of the straw 30 and the check valve 31 so that only a small portion of the liquid diet 40 is located outside the check valve 31 when the patient is not sucking.

As shown in fig. 4-6, in some embodiments of the utility model, the one-way valve 31 is a diaphragm one-way valve 31, which diaphragm one-way valve 31 may resemble a valve of a blood vessel.

Furthermore, in other embodiments of the present utility model, one skilled in the art may also set the check valve 31 as any other possible check valve 31 as desired.

In the present utility model, the check valve 31 may be a separate member and mounted into the suction pipe 30. The check valve 31 may also be integrally formed with the straw 30.

Fig. 7 shows a state in which the cup 10 is filled with the liquid diet 40; fig. 8 shows a state in which the liquid diet 40 in the cup body 10 is sucked into a portion.

As can be seen from fig. 7 and 8, since the cover 20 is in sliding contact with the cup 10, the suction pipe 30 is in sliding contact with the cover 20, so that it is difficult for air to enter between the cover 20 and the cup 10. Meanwhile, the cover 20 is attached to the liquid food 40, so that the cover 20 can be lowered along with the decrease of the liquid food 40 under the action of the viscosity of the liquid food 40 and the action of the external air pressure.

As shown in fig. 8, when the patient stops sucking, some of the liquid 40 is blocked in the straw 30 by the one-way valve 31.

If the patient has not sucked, the first mouth can be spit out when sucking next time, so that the liquid diet 40 above the uppermost one-way valve 31 is spit out, and the mildew is prevented from happening, and the health of the patient is affected.

Based on the foregoing description, one skilled in the art will appreciate that in some embodiments of the present utility model, oxygen is prevented from contacting the liquid 40 within the cup 10 by slidably mounting the lid 20 into the cup 10 such that the lid 20 can conform to the surface of the liquid 40 within the cup 10, thereby allowing the lid 20 to drop with the drop in the liquid level of the liquid 40 within the cup 10 under the influence of external air pressure. By communicating the straw 30 with the portion of the receiving cavity 11 at the bottom side of the lid 20, the patient can suck out the liquid food 40 in the cup 10 through the straw 30 and thus lower the lid 20 as the liquid food 40 decreases. By providing at least one-way valve 31 within straw 30, straw 30 is closed by one-way valve 31 when not sucked by a patient, preventing oxygen from entering cup 10 and contacting food 40. Thus, the feeding container of the present utility model avoids the liquid diet 40 therein coming into contact with oxygen when the patient inhales, thereby avoiding the liquid diet 40 therein from molding.

Further, by providing the guide structure 21 on the lid 20, the lid 20 is prevented from deflecting in the cup 10, and the sealing of the lid 20 against the food in the cup 10 is ensured.

Still further, the feeding container composed of the three parts of the cup body 10, the cover body 20 and the suction pipe 30 is convenient for assembling and disassembling the cup body 10 and the cover body 20. That is, when it is desired to fill the cup 10 with liquid food, the lid 20 is detached from the cup 10. When the cup 10 is filled with the food, the lid 20 is then closed back to the cup 10.

In addition, in other embodiments of the present utility model, the structure of the feeding container of the present utility model may be appropriately adjusted as required by those skilled in the art.

As an example one, a stopper structure (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the suction pipe 30 shown in fig. 1 to 8, which is located at the bottom side of the lid body 20 and interferes with the lid body 20 in the depth direction of the accommodation chamber 11 to remove the lid body 20 from the cup body 10 by pulling the suction pipe 30.

The stop structure can be any feasible structure such as a baffle plate, a stop lever and the like.

As an example two, as shown in FIG. 9, in other embodiments of the present utility model, the straw 30 is fixedly attached to the cup 10.

Specifically, the bottom of the cup 10 is provided with a fixed seat (not labeled in the drawing) to which the suction pipe 30 is fixedly connected, and thus the suction pipe 30 is communicated with the accommodation chamber 11 in the cup 10.

Optionally, in other embodiments shown in fig. 9, a handle (not shown) is provided on the lid 20 to remove the lid 20 from the cup 10 by pulling.

As an example three, a pressure equalizing hole (not shown) for equalizing the air pressure of both inner and outer sides of the cover 20 to facilitate removal of the cover 20 from the cup 10 and a plug (not shown) for closing the pressure equalizing hole are provided on the cover 20 of the present utility model. When the cover 20 needs to be removed from the cup 10, the plug can be opened to allow air to enter between the cover 20 and the cup 10 through the pressure equalizing hole, so that the air pressure on the inner side and the outer side of the cover 20 is balanced, and an operator can conveniently remove the cover 20 from the cup 10.

Finally, the feeding container of the present utility model may be configured to be disposable or reusable. When the feeding container is provided in a reusable form, the cup body 10, the cap body 20 and the straw 30 are required to be made of a material having superior performance and have a certain thickness.

Thus far, the technical solution of the present utility model has been described in connection with the foregoing embodiments, but it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present utility model is not limited to only these specific embodiments. The technical solutions in the above embodiments can be split and combined by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and equivalent changes or substitutions can be made to related technical features, so any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the technical principles and/or technical concepts of the present utility model will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
