Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food heating technology, and in particular to a foldable food support. Background Technology

[0002] Sustained survival in the wild requires a robust food supply, especially for groups of dozens, necessitating appropriate cooking equipment. To simplify outdoor cooking, convenient food options such as room-temperature communal meals have emerged. These meals are packaged in bags or shallow dishes, each containing either a staple food or a side dish. The bags and side dishes are identical in size, while the shallow dishes primarily contain side dishes. These meals are easy to prepare by simple heating, eliminating the need for rinsing rice, cooking, chopping vegetables, and stir-frying meat, thus simplifying food supply in the wild. To address the need for heating these meals, a food heater has been developed. These meals typically include multiple varieties of staple and side dishes, and are usually placed directly into the heater along with their outer packaging to prevent cross-contamination of flavors. However, when multiple food items are stacked together for heating, a large portion of the food bag, especially the middle one, cannot directly contact the heat transfer medium, such as boiling water or steam. This not only results in the food heating up slowly and with low heating efficiency, but also in uneven heating, which greatly affects the taste. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The present application provides a folding food support, which comprises at least two mutually parallel arranged placement rods 1 and at least one connecting support rod 2 arranged between adjacent placement rods 1, wherein the placement rod 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 11 and a second sliding groove 12, a plurality of food partitions 3 are slidingly sleeved on the first sliding groove 11, and the two ends of the connecting support rod 2 are respectively slidingly sleeved in the second sliding grooves 12 of the adjacent placement rods 1 and can slide along the second sliding grooves 12 to realize the action of pulling the adjacent placement rods 1 to relatively close for folding or relatively far apart for unfolding. The folding food support is used to place normal temperature collective food, which can fully utilize the internal space of the food heater, and the food partitions can separate the foods from each other, increase the exposure area of the individual food, and make each food fully contact with the heat transfer medium such as boiling water or water vapor to promote heat conduction and improve the food heating efficiency. In addition, the slidingly arranged food partitions can automatically adjust the distance between the adjacent partitions according to the need, so that food of different widths can be placed. Meanwhile, the folding food support can be folded and stored when not in use, thereby saving space.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the food support comprises two placement rods 1 and one connecting support rod 2.

[0028] Among them, the two placement rods 1 are arranged in parallel with each other, and each placement rod 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 11 and a second sliding groove 12. The slot of the first sliding groove 11 is opened on the upper surface of the placement rod 1, and the slot of the second sliding groove 12 is opened on the side wall arranged opposite to the adjacent placement rod 1, as shown in Figure 1 , a plurality of food partitions 3 are slidingly sleeved on the first sliding groove 11, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the lower end of the food partition plate 3 is provided with a first sliding block 31 which is slidingly arranged in the first sliding groove 11; the food partition plate 3 can slide left and right in the first sliding groove 11, and the user can automatically adjust the distance between the food partition plates 3 according to the need, so that the distance between the adjacent food partition plates 3 conforms to the width of the food; and the excess food partition plates 3 can also be directly pushed to one end of the first sliding groove 11 for placement.
