Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of food processing, specifically to a food insulated box for food processing. Background Technology
[0002] Insulated boxes are boxes with heat-insulating properties used for food delivery. Insulated boxes come in different types based on their material, including plastic, foam, metal, and wood. Some foods require insulated boxes for heat preservation during processing, especially desserts. However, placing different foods in an insulated box can cause their odors to mix and cross-contaminate, affecting the taste of later customers. Dividing the insulated box into smaller compartments can also prevent the storage of larger items. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a food warming box for food processing. It has the advantages of allowing larger foods to be placed on the horizontal shelf, thus preventing cross-contamination of flavors while making reasonable use of space. This solves the problem that the odors emitted by different foods can mix and cause cross-contamination, which would affect the consumption of later customers. However, dividing the warming box into sections would make it impossible to fit larger foods.
[0004] To achieve the goal of placing larger food items on the horizontal shelves, thereby preventing cross-contamination of flavors while making reasonable use of space, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a food warming box for food processing, comprising a box body, a heating device fixedly installed on the right side of the box body, a cabinet door provided on the box body, five horizontal shelves fixedly installed inside the box body, each horizontal shelf having a square groove on its upper side, and a rotating rod provided in each of the four square grooves below, each rotating rod movably penetrating through the rear inner wall of the box body, a movable plate fixedly installed on each rotating rod, a fixing strip fixedly installed below each of the four upper horizontal shelves, a movable strip movably connected to the left side of each fixing strip via a hinge, and a baffle movably connected to the left side of each of the four upper horizontal shelves via a hinge, each baffle respectively fitting against the left side of each movable strip.
[0005] Preferably, a block is fixedly installed on the left side of each movable strip, and a finger groove is opened on each block. A connecting block is fixedly installed on the front of each baffle, and a small strip is fixedly installed on each connecting block. A window is opened on each baffle, and a transparent plate is fixedly installed in each window. A groove is opened on the side of each baffle, and each block is movably connected to each groove.
[0006] Preferably, each baffle has an installation groove a on both the upper and lower sides, and a sealing strip a is fixedly installed in each installation groove a. Each baffle has an installation groove b on both the front and rear sides, and a sealing strip b is fixedly installed in each installation groove b. A sealing strip c is fixedly installed on the left side of each movable strip. Each movable strip has a movable groove on the right side, and an adhesive strip is fixedly installed in each movable groove.
[0007] Preferably, each of the fixing strips has a slot on its lower side, and a magnet a is fixedly installed in each slot. Each movable plate has a long groove on its upper side, and a sealing strip d is fixedly installed in each long groove. Each long groove has a fixing groove on its lower inner wall, and a magnet b is fixedly installed in each fixing groove.
[0008] Preferably, the front and rear walls of the housing are provided with four through slots, each through slot is fixedly installed with a filter plate, and the lower inner wall of each through slot is provided with a vertical slot, each vertical slot is fixedly installed with an airbag.
[0009] Preferably, a lifting plate is fixedly installed on the upper side of each airbag, a telescopic plate is fixedly installed on each lifting plate, a sliding groove is opened on the lower inner wall of each through groove, each telescopic plate is movably connected to each sliding groove, a lifting rod is fixedly installed on the upper side of each lifting plate, a pressure spring is fixedly installed on the upper end of each lifting rod, a circular groove is opened on the upper inner wall of each through groove, each pressure spring is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of each circular groove, and each through groove is connected to the space divided by each horizontal plate.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a food insulated box for food processing, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] This food processing insulated box allows one of the baffles to be rotated upwards after the cabinet door is opened, enabling the food to be placed on the corresponding horizontal shelf. After closing the baffle, the food can be stored. Each horizontal shelf and each movable shelf effectively separates each food item, preventing odors from affecting each other and causing serious cross-contamination. When the food plates or other items are too large, the movable shelf can be rotated forward into the square slot. This allows the two baffles to rotate using the rotating rod, enabling larger food items to be placed on the horizontal shelf. This design prevents cross-contamination of odors while making efficient use of space.
[0012] This food processing insulated box features two finger grooves that allow users to easily rotate the movable strip upwards, enabling simultaneous upward rotation and movement of two baffles. A small strip, in conjunction with a connecting block, facilitates upward rotation of the baffles. A window and transparent panel allow users to easily observe food obscured by the baffles, thus aiding in food identification.
[0013] This food processing insulated box uses sealing strips a and b to seal the space covered by the baffle after it is closed. This further prevents heat loss and avoids the spread of odors, which could cause cross-contamination of smells from multiple foods inside the box. The two sealing strips c and each rubber strip can further seal the space.
[0014] This food insulated box for food processing can seal the contact surface between the movable plate and the fixed plate using two sealing strips d. At the same time, the mutual attraction between magnets a and b can prevent the movable plate from rotating and falling over when it is erected to divide the space, thus improving its practicality.
[0015] This food processing insulated box works by using food. When in use, the food or heating device generates heat inside, causing the air bladder to expand. The expanded air bladder then blocks the corresponding ventilation slots, preventing heat loss. At the same time, the filter plate prevents dust from entering. When the box is not in use, the air bladder contracts as the internal temperature drops, exposing the ventilation slots. This allows the internal space to interact with the outside environment, providing ventilation and removing odors from the food inside, making it ready for the next use.
[0016] This food processing insulated box uses insulating material for its lifting and telescopic plates. When the airbag expands due to heat, it moves the lifting and telescopic plates upward, thus blocking the passageway and further preventing internal heat loss. The pressure spring and lifting rod allow the lifting and telescopic plates to be pressed down when the box is not in use and the temperature drops, preventing the airbag from getting stuck at the vertical passageway outlet and causing air leakage.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “upper” and “lower”, “bottom surface” and “top surface” used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the terms “inner” and “outer” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.
[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-9The present invention provides a technical solution: a food insulated box for food processing, comprising a box body 1, the box body 1 being made of a mixed insulation material, a heating device 2 fixedly installed on the right side of the box body 1, a cabinet door 10 provided on the box body 1, five horizontal plates 14 fixedly installed inside the box body 1, each horizontal plate 14 having a square groove 11 on its upper side, and a rotating rod 13 provided in each of the four lower square grooves 11, each rotating rod 13 movably penetrating through the rear inner wall of the box body 1, a movable plate 12 fixedly installed on each rotating rod 13, a fixing strip 15 fixedly installed below each of the four upper horizontal plates 14, a movable strip 16 movably connected to the left side of each fixing strip 15 via a hinge, and a baffle 5 movably connected to the left side of each of the four upper horizontal plates 14 via a hinge, each baffle 5 being respectively connected to each The movable strip 16 is attached to the left side. After opening the cabinet door 10, one of the baffles 5 can be rotated upwards to place the food to be stored on the corresponding horizontal plate 14. Then, closing the baffle 5 allows the food to be stored. Each horizontal plate 14 and each movable plate 12 can effectively separate each food item to prevent odors from affecting each other and causing serious cross-contamination. When the food plate or other items are too large, the movable plate 12 can be rotated forward into the square groove 11. This allows the two baffles 5 to rotate by rotating the movable strip 16, so that larger food items can be placed on the horizontal plate 14. This not only prevents cross-contamination but also makes reasonable use of space. Each movable strip 16 has a square block 29 fixedly installed on its left side. Each block 29 has a finger groove 30. A connecting block 6 is fixedly installed on the front of each baffle 5, and a small strip 7 is fixedly installed on each connecting block 6. Each baffle 5 has a window 8, and a transparent plate 9 is fixedly installed inside each window 8. Each baffle 5 has a groove 20 on its side. Each block 29 is movably connected to each groove 20. The two finger grooves 30 allow the user to easily rotate the movable strip 16 upwards, thus allowing the user to simultaneously rotate and move both baffles 5 upwards. The small strip 7, in conjunction with the connecting block 6, allows the user to easily rotate the baffle 5 upwards. The window 8 and transparent plate 9 allow the user to easily observe the food obscured by the baffle 5, thus facilitating food identification. Each baffle 5 has mounting grooves a on both its upper and lower sides. 22. Each mounting slot a22 is fixedly installed with a sealing strip a21. Each baffle 5 has mounting slots b18 on both the front and rear sides, and each mounting slot b18 is fixedly installed with a sealing strip b19. Each movable strip 16 has a sealing strip c17 fixedly installed on its left side, and each movable strip 16 has a movable slot 38 on its right side, and each movable slot 38 is fixedly installed with a rubber strip 39. Each sealing strip a21 and each sealing strip b19 can seal the space covered by the baffle 5 after it is closed, thereby further preventing heat loss and avoiding the spread of odors that could cause cross-contamination of smells from multiple foods inside the cabinet 1. The two sealing strips c17 and each rubber strip 39 can further enhance the sealing effect.Each fixing strip 15 has a slot 24 on its lower side, and a magnet a23 is fixedly installed in each slot 24. Each movable plate 12 has a long groove 25 on its upper side, and a sealing strip d28 is fixedly installed in each long groove 25. Each long groove 25 has a fixing groove 27 on its lower inner wall, and a magnet b26 is fixedly installed in each fixing groove 27. The two sealing strips d28 can seal the contact surface between the movable plate 12 and the fixing strip 15. At the same time, the mutual attraction between the magnets a23 and b28 can prevent the movable plate 12 from rotating and falling over when it is erected to divide the space, thus avoiding affecting its use. This improves practicality. The front and rear walls of the housing 1 each have four through slots 4, each containing a filter plate 3. The lower inner wall of each through slot 4 has a vertical groove 35, each containing an airbag 36. When the housing 1 is in use, heat generated by food or the heating device 2 causes the airbag 36 to expand. The expanded airbag 36 then blocks the corresponding through slot 34, preventing heat loss. The filter plate 3 also prevents dust from entering. When the housing 1 is not in use, the airbag 36 contracts as the internal temperature drops, exposing the through slot. 34. This allows the space inside the container 1 to interact with the outside, enabling ventilation and removing food odors for future use. Each airbag 36 has a fixed lifting plate 32 on its upper side, and each lifting plate 32 has a fixed telescopic plate 33. Each through-slot 4 has a sliding groove 34 on its lower inner wall, and each telescopic plate 33 is movably connected to each sliding groove 34. Each lifting plate 32 has a fixed lifting rod 37 on its upper side, and each lifting rod 37 has a fixed pressure spring 40 on its upper end. Each through-slot 4 has a circular groove 31 on its upper inner wall, and each pressure spring 40... The lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each circular groove 31, and each through groove 4 is connected to the space divided by each horizontal plate 14. By using heat-insulating material to make the lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33, when the airbag 36 is heated and expands, it will drive the lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33 to move upward. This allows the lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33 to block the through groove 4, and further prevents internal heat loss. The pressure spring 40 and the lifting rod 37 can press the lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33 down when the box 1 is not in use and the temperature drops, to prevent the airbag 36 from getting stuck at the outlet of the vertical groove 35 and causing air leakage.
[0030] In use, the first step is to open the cabinet door 10 and rotate one of the baffles 5 upwards to place the food to be stored on the corresponding horizontal plate 14. Then, close the baffle 5 to store the food. Each horizontal plate 14 and each movable plate 12 can effectively separate each food item to prevent odors from affecting each other and causing serious cross-contamination. When the food plate or other items are too large, the movable plate 12 can be rotated forward into the square groove 11. In this way, the rotating movable bar 16 can drive the two baffles 5 to rotate, allowing larger food items to be placed on the horizontal plate 14. This not only prevents cross-contamination of odors but also makes reasonable use of space.
[0031] Step 2: The two finger grooves 30 allow the user to easily rotate the movable strip 16 upwards, thus allowing the user to simultaneously rotate and move the two baffles 5 upwards. The small strip 7, in conjunction with the connecting block 6, allows the user to easily rotate the baffles 5 upwards. The window 8 and the transparent plate 9 allow the user to easily observe the food obscured by the baffles 5, thus making it easier for the user to distinguish the food.
[0032] Step 3: Each sealing strip a21 and each sealing strip b19 can seal the space covered by the baffle 5 after it is closed, thereby further preventing heat loss and avoiding the spread of odors that could cause the smells of multiple foods in the box 1 to interfere with each other and cause cross-contamination. The two sealing strips c17 and each rubber strip 39 can further seal the space.
[0033] Step 4: The contact surfaces between the movable plate 12 and the fixed strip 15 can be sealed by the two sealing strips d28. At the same time, the mutual attraction between magnet a23 and magnet b28 can prevent the movable plate 12 from rotating and falling down when it is erected to divide the space, thus improving its practicality.
[0034] Step 5: When the cabinet 1 is in use, the food or heating device 2 will generate heat inside, which will cause the airbag 36 to expand. The expanded airbag 36 will block the corresponding channel 34, thereby preventing internal heat loss. At the same time, the filter plate 3 can prevent dust from entering. When the cabinet 1 is not in use, the airbag 36 will contract when the internal space temperature drops, thereby exposing the channel 34. In this way, the space inside the cabinet 1 will interact with the outside world, thereby ventilating and removing the smell of food inside the cabinet 1, making it convenient for the next use.
[0035] Step 6: By using thermal insulation material to manufacture the lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33, when the airbag 36 expands due to heat, it will drive the lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33 to move upward. This allows the lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33 to block the through slot 4, and further prevents internal heat loss. The pressure spring 40 and the lifting rod 37 can press the lifting plate 32 and the telescopic plate 33 down when the box 1 is not in use and the temperature drops, to prevent the airbag 36 from getting stuck at the outlet of the vertical slot 35 and causing air to be unable to pass through.
[0036] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
