Referring to Figs. 5, 8 and 10, the cover unit 4 can be switched between a metering state (see Fig. 5), a temporary storage state (see Fig. 8) and a pouring state (see Fig. 10). The following explains the access steps:

5 and 6, the upper cover unit 4 is rotated to the metering state, so that the quantitative container 40 of the upper cover unit 4 faces one of the quantitative holes 313 and communicates with one of the quantitative holes 313 through the opening 402. Moreover, the movable cover body 42 is buckled on the cover body 41 to block the outlet 401. In FIG. 6, the quantitative container 40 is opposite to the quantitative hole 313 as an example. In the measuring state, the user can invert the container body 100 up and down to make several granular foods 9 enter the quantitative container 40 from the accommodating space 10 through the quantitative hole 313 on Saturday. , Because the quantitative container 40 is designed to just hold the quantity for a single intake according to the particle size of the granular food 9 and the recommended dosage. Therefore, the present invention can be taken quantitatively without overdose or underdose, and can avoid It happened that too many granular foods 9 were poured out at one time and accidentally scattered.

Referring to Figures 7 and 8, next, rotate the upper cover unit 4 and make the opening 402 of the quantitative container 40 face the stop portion 314 on Saturday to switch to the temporary storage state. In the temporary storage state, the The shielding surface 412 blocks at least a part of the quantitative holes 313 on Saturdays and the quantitative holes 313 on other days, and the blocking portion 314 on Saturday blocks the opening 402 of the quantitative container 40, so that the portion to be taken The granular food 9 is temporarily placed in the quantitative container 40. Then, the container body 100 is erected back to its original shape. Since the granular food 9 has been confined in the quantitative container 40, it will not fall back to the container body 100. It should be noted that because the movable cover 42 does not transmit light, it is impossible to visually know whether the quantitative container 40 has been rotated to the top of the stop portion 314 on Saturday. Therefore, preferably, the first In the embodiment, the spacing between the locking blocks 414 and the tooth pitch of the ratchet teeth 312 are designed to be positioned at the designated position every time they rotate and engage, so that the user can hear the click sound and know that it has rotated to the designated position. . In other variations, the sealing portion 422 of the movable cover 42 can be transparently designed so that the user can visually know the rotation position and the date of the current position, and there is no need to open the movable cover 42 to confirm The date, and the distance between the locking blocks 414 and the ratchet teeth 312 does not need to be specially designed for their engaging positions.

9 and 10, then, open the sealing portion 422 of the movable cover 42 and expose the outlet 401 to switch to the pouring state. At this time, the shielding surface 412 still covers the metering hole 313 on Saturday. At least a part of the quantitative holes 313 and other dates, and the stop portion 314 on Saturday faces the opening 402, the user can pour out the container body 100 and temporarily place it in the quantitative container 40 as long as the container body 100 is slightly inclined的 These granular foods 9. Then, the movable cover body 42 can be covered back to the cover body 41.

Thereby, the user can know from the exposed feature 315 whether he has taken the medicine every time before taking each time by opening the movable cover 42. If he has not taken the medicine, he can take the quantity by following the aforementioned taking steps. The first embodiment has the dual functions of reminding to take and quantitative taking at the same time, and it can also prevent the granular food 9 from being accidentally scattered. At the same time, since the upper cover unit 4 can only rotate in one direction relative to the middle cover unit 3, it will not turn in the wrong direction.

From the above description, it can be seen that the first embodiment has multiple functions of quantitative taking, preventing scattering, and reminding to take. However, it can be understood that the first embodiment can also provide only one quantitative group 311 to have quantitative taking. And the function of preventing scattering, at this time, the upper cover unit 4 does not need the restriction of one-way rotation, and the ratchet teeth 312 and the blocking blocks 414 can be omitted.

Refer to Fig. 11 and Fig. 12, which are a second embodiment of a new type of food container that can be taken in a quantitative manner. The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, and the main difference lies in:

The middle cover unit 3'includes a conical cup body 301 and an annular cylinder 302 surrounding the cup body 301. The cup body 301 surrounds and defines a conical quantitative container 40 ', the cup body 301 has the base wall 31, a side wall 33 extending from the base wall 31 to a direction away from the upper cover unit 4', and a side wall 33 connected to the side wall 33 and disposed opposite to the base wall 31 The bottom wall 34, the base wall 31 has the quantitative groups 311 and the ratchet teeth 312, the bottom wall 34 has a set opposite to the quantitative groups 311 and communicates with the quantitative container 40' and the accommodating space 10 The opening 341 of the opening 341, and a tapered groove portion 342 surrounding the opening 341, the bottom side of the tapered groove portion 342 is farther away from the quantitative groups 311 than the opening 341. The barrel 302 has the joining member 321.

The upper cover unit 4'includes the cover body 41 and the movable cover body 42. The cover body 41 has an access slot 415 that opens on the outer surface 411 and the shielding surface 412 and is used to communicate with one of the quantitative holes 313 , And the groove 413 for the base wall 31 of the middle cover unit 3'to be movably joined. The movable cover 42 is used to cover the access slot 415.

The upper cover unit 4'can switch between the metering state (see FIG. 11) and the pouring state (see FIG. 12). In the metering state, as shown in FIG. 11, the access slot 415 faces one of the The quantitative hole 313 is connected to one of the quantitative holes 313, and the movable cover 42 covers the access slot 415. At this time, the user can invert the container body 100 up and down and turn several The granular food 9 enters the quantitative container 40' through the opening 341 of the cup body 301. Then, when the container body 100 is erected back to its original shape, the granular food 9 will sink into the conical groove portion 342 and be confined in the quantitative container 40 ′, and will not fall back to the container body 100.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the sealing portion 422 of the movable lid body 42 is opened and the taking groove 415 is exposed to switch to the pouring state. At this time, the container body 100 can be tilted slightly on the side and positioned The granular food 9 in the quantitative container 40' is poured out for consumption. It should be noted that in the process of pouring out the granular food 9 in the quantitative container 40', because the container body The granular food 9 in 100 will be lower than the opening 341 and will no longer enter the quantitative container 40'. Therefore, the second embodiment still has the same quantitative taking and prevention as the first embodiment. And the multiple functions of reminding to take.

In summary, the multi-layer screw cap 200 for quantitative taking of the present invention can just hold the quantity of the granular food 9 taken in a single time through the design of the quantitative containing tanks 40, 40', and use the upper cover Units 4, 4'switch between the metering state and the pouring state to smoothly take out the granular food 9 for taking. Therefore, the present invention can be taken in a fixed amount without overdose or underdose, and can avoid pouring too much at a time. These granular foods 9 can prevent from being scattered, so it can indeed achieve the purpose of cost innovation.
