The number of load cells 300 may be equal to the number of cartridges 200 to weigh each cartridge 200. Alternatively, the number of load cells 300 may be smaller than the number of cartridges 200 so that only a portion of the cartridges 200 may be weighed.

The embodiment of the invention uses the weighing sensor 300 to weigh the storage box 200, so that the weight of the storage in the storage box 200 can be known. Moreover, after the user takes some food, the weight of the taken food can be known according to the difference between the front and rear weights of the storage box 200. Each weighing sensor 300 can be correspondingly provided with one display screen 160, so that the weight value can be displayed in real time, and the use is very convenient for users.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the bottom structure of the case 200 of fig. 3.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the storage boxes 200 and the weighing sensors 300 are multiple and correspond to each other one by one, for example, 3 storage boxes are shown in the drawings, so that the storage objects of the bottle base 50 can be classified and stored, different storage objects are prevented from interfering with each other, and the weighing cannot be effectively performed. The bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 101 is formed with a plurality of positioning lattices 102, and each positioning lattice 102 corresponds to one storage box 200. The bottom wall of each case 200 is formed with a downwardly protruding annular positioning protrusion 220 to be embedded in one of the positioning grids 102, which makes the position of the case 200 more stable.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, at least one display screen 160 may be disposed on the bottle base body 100, where each display screen 160 is electrically connected to one load cell 300, so as to display the measured weight value thereof, so as to be convenient for the user to read.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the bottle holder 50 may further comprise at least one ultraviolet germicidal lamp 500. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 500 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 101. Each of the cartridges 200 is configured to allow ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 500 to be transmitted into the interior of the cartridge 200, thereby sterilizing food in the interior of the cartridge 200. Specifically, each of the cartridges 200 may be made of a transparent or translucent material, the transparency of which is at least sufficient to allow ultraviolet light to pass therethrough. In particular, the storage case 200 may be a transparent plastic case.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, the number of uv sterilizing lamps 500 may be the same as the number of the storage boxes 200, that is, each uv sterilizing lamp 500 corresponds to one storage box 200 to sterilize the storage box 200 exclusively. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 500 can emit ultraviolet rays after being electrified to sterilize objects, thereby maintaining the health of foods.

Specifically, each ultraviolet germicidal lamp 500 may be positioned below one storage box 200. In addition, the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 500 can be installed on the bottle seat body 100 so as to be separated from the storage box 200, so that the structure of the storage box 200 is kept simple, and the storage box 200 is convenient to detach and clean.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, each uv germicidal lamp 500 may be made in a ring shape that extends along the outer contour of the bottom wall of the storage box 200. For example, if the storage box 200 is square box-shaped, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 500 is square-ring shaped. When the storage box 200 is installed above each positioning grid 102, the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 500 is abutted against the edge of the bottom wall of the storage box 200, so that the contact between the bottom wall of the storage box 200 and the weighing sensor 300 is prevented from being influenced by the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 500. Specifically, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 500 may be abutted against the underside of the positioning boss 220.

In some embodiments, each storage box 200 may be configured with a box cover 210, with the opening of the storage box 200 sealed with the box cover 210, such that the storage environment inside the storage box 200 is isolated from the outside. The inner side of the cap 210 may be coated with a reflective material for reflecting ultraviolet rays so as to reflect the ultraviolet rays back into the storage case 200, thereby making the sterilization effect better.
