[0019] In order to solve the technical problem that the smart dining table in the prior art does not have the tableware disinfection function, which makes it impossible to disinfect the tableware after washing and the cleanliness of the tableware is not high, the present invention provides a smart dining table that is easy to recycle, wash and store tableware, and can use ultraviolet lamps to sterilize and disinfect the tableware to improve the cleanliness of the tableware.

[0020] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1This is a structural schematic diagram of a smart dining table that is convenient for recycling, cleaning and storing tableware in one embodiment of the present invention. The smart dining table that is convenient for recycling, cleaning and storing tableware includes a table body 1, a receiving component 2, a disinfection component 3 and a lifting drive component 4. The table body 1 has a table top 11 for dining, and the tableware after dining is placed on the table top. The tableware can be but is not limited to tableware with curved surfaces and relatively regular shapes such as plates and bowls, so as to facilitate the stable transportation of the tableware to each process for cleaning and disinfection.

[0021] The receiving assembly 2 is arranged on the table body 1, and the receiving assembly 2 includes a driving member 21 and a receiving platform 22. The driving member 21 is connected to the receiving platform 22 and is used to drive the receiving platform 22 to rise and fall. The receiving platform 22 can be exposed to the desktop 11 when it rises, so that the tableware on the desktop 11 can be placed on the receiving platform 22 manually. When the receiving platform 22 descends, the tableware can be sent to the subsequent process for cleaning and disinfection. The receiving platform 22 can be flush with the desktop 11 when it rises, so that the desktop 11 looks beautiful and is convenient for use.

[0022] The disinfection assembly 3 includes an ultraviolet lamp 31 disposed on the table body 1, and the ultraviolet lamp 31 is used to emit ultraviolet light to irradiate the tableware near the ultraviolet lamp 31 to sterilize the tableware. The ultraviolet lamp 31 can also be replaced by other disinfecting items, such as a UV lamp.

[0023] The lifting drive assembly 4 is arranged on the table body 1, and the lifting drive assembly 4 includes a lifting platform 41, a power source 42 and multiple telescopic boxes 43. The sizes of the multiple telescopic boxes 43 are reduced in sequence, and they are sealed and slidably connected in sequence. The lifting platform 41 is arranged at the topmost telescopic box 43. The power source 42 can drive the multiple telescopic boxes 43 to slide upward when inflated. When the power source 42 is deflated, the lifting platform 41 can descend by its own gravity. When the lifting platform 41 is lifted and lowered, it can receive tableware delivered by the receiving platform 22 and can transport the tableware to a place close to the ultraviolet lamp 31.

[0024] In other embodiments, see Figure 3 The lifting drive assembly 4 includes a vertical rack 44, a gear motor (not shown in the figure) and a driving gear 45. The gear motor is arranged inside the telescopic box 43 at the top layer. The gear motor is connected to the driving gear 45 and meshes with the vertical rack 44 through the driving gear 45. When the gear motor drives the driving gear 45 to rotate, the driving gear 45 can mesh with the vertical rack 44 and move up and down along the vertical rack 44, thereby driving the lifting platform 41 to rise and fall.

[0025] In one embodiment, see Figure 3The lifting drive assembly 4 also includes a power cylinder (not shown in the figure) and a push plate 46. The lifting platform 41 is provided with a slide groove 411, and the push plate 46 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 411.

The first bracket 52 is disposed on the table body 1, and the second conveyor belt 51 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 52. The first bracket 52 is also provided with a corresponding motor (not shown in the figure). The motor is used to drive the second conveyor belt 51 to rotate or stop, so as to control the second conveyor belt 51 to drive the tableware transmitted by the first conveyor belt 23, and transport the tableware to the lifting platform 41.

[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 2The smart dining table further includes a cleaning component 6 disposed on the table body 1, the cleaning component 6 being located between the receiving component 2 and the disinfecting component 3, and the cleaning component 6 being used to clean the tableware transmitted from the lifting platform 41 and to return the cleaned tableware to the lifting platform 41. The cleaning component 6 provided in this embodiment is mainly used to spray high-pressure water on the tableware to wash away the leftovers left on the tableware.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The cleaning component 6 includes a third conveyor belt 61 and a shower 62. The third conveyor belt 61 can receive the tableware conveyed by the lifting platform 41 when connected to the lifting platform 41. The shower 62 is used to spray and clean the tableware on the third conveyor belt 61. The table body 1 of this embodiment is provided with a second bracket 53. The third conveyor belt 61 is rotatably connected to the second bracket 53. The second bracket 53 is also provided with a motor (not shown in the figure) for driving the third conveyor belt 61 to rotate. The third conveyor belt 61 can rotate forward and reverse under the drive of the motor to drive the tableware on the lifting platform 41 to enter the third conveyor belt 61, so as to perform high-pressure spray cleaning on the tableware, and return the cleaned tableware to the lifting platform 41 for subsequent process processing. The table body 1 is also provided with a collection box 12 for collecting residues and sewage. The collection box 12 is located below the second bracket 53 and is used to receive the residues and sewage flowing down from the third conveyor belt 61.

[0030] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The disinfection assembly 3 also includes a second motor 32, a rotating motor 33, a fixed bracket 34 and a screw 35, which are arranged on the table body 1. The fixed bracket 34 is arranged on the table body 1, and the rotating motor 33 is slidably arranged on the fixed bracket 34. The second motor 32 is fixedly arranged at one end of the fixed bracket 34, and the screw 35 is threaded through the rotating motor 33. The second motor 32 is connected to the screw 35 and can drive the screw 35 to rotate, so as to drive the rotating motor 33 to slide back and forth through the thread. The rotating motor 33 is connected to the ultraviolet lamp 31, so as to adjust the angle and position of the ultraviolet lamp 31. In this embodiment, the rotating motor 33 can drive the ultraviolet lamp 31 to rotate when working to adjust the irradiation angle of the ultraviolet lamp 31. The second motor 32 can drive the ultraviolet lamp 31 to do linear motion when working to adjust the position of the ultraviolet lamp 31. Therefore, this embodiment can expand the disinfection range of the ultraviolet lamp 31 by setting the second motor 32 and the rotating motor 33, so as to fully disinfect the tableware and improve the cleanliness of the tableware.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 2, the smart dining table also includes a tableware separation component 7, which includes two first motors 71 and two first separation members 72 connected to each other. The two first motors 71 are used to drive the two first separation members 72 to move closer to or away from each other. When the two first separation members 72 are close to each other, they can lift a plurality of stacked plates 73 to separate the bottom plate from other plates. In this embodiment, the tableware separation component 7 is provided so that a plurality of stacked plates can be separated from the bottom one by one, so as to clean and disinfect the plates one by one. Specifically, before separating the plates, the driving member 21 drives the receiving platform 22 to rise and fall, so that the receiving platform 22 drives the plurality of stacked plates to move to a suitable height, and then drives the two first separation members 72 to move closer to each other through the two first motors 71 to lift the second to last plate. At this time, only the bottom plate is placed on the receiving platform 22, and the driving member 21 drives the receiving platform 22 to descend to drive the bottom plate to separate from other plates, and in this way, the separation and cleaning of all plates are completed.

[0032] The driving member 21 of this embodiment can be understood as a conventional cylinder, which only drives the first separating member 72 to perform linear motion to lift or separate the dinner plate. The portion where the first separating member 72 contacts the dinner plate is arc-shaped, and the curvature of the arc is consistent with the curvature of the dinner plate, so that the contact area between the first separating member 72 and the dinner plate is large, and the dinner plate can be stably lifted.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The smart dining table also includes a collection component 8 disposed on the table body 1. The bottom of the table body 1 has a tableware recovery area 13. The collection component 8 is located below the disinfection component 3 and is used to clamp the tableware on the lifting platform 41 and transfer the tableware to the tableware recovery area 13. In this embodiment, the tableware recovery area 13 is used to place clean tableware after cleaning and disinfection so that it can be taken out next time when dining. An outlet is opened at the bottom of the table body 1, and a cover plate 14 is provided at the outlet. The cover plate 14 is rotatably connected to the table body 1 to close or open the outlet. When it is necessary to take out the tableware, the cover plate 14 can be rotated to open the outlet so that the tableware can be taken out.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 2The collecting assembly 8 includes two clamping members 81 and two cylinders 82. The two clamping members 81 are both movably arranged on the table body 1 and can be relatively close to or away from each other when moving. It can be understood that the clamping members 81 are directly movably connected to the table body 1 or indirectly movably connected to the table body 1 through other objects. The two cylinders 82 are respectively connected to the two clamping members 81, and can pneumatically drive the two clamping members 81 to move closer to or away from each other to lift and release the dinner plate. In this embodiment, the table body 1 has a third bracket 15, and the third bracket 15 is provided with a corresponding three-dimensional driving assembly (not shown in the figure). The three-dimensional driving assembly connects the two clamping members 81 and is used to drive the two clamping members 81 to move along the three-dimensional space, so as to drive the dinner plates that have been cleaned and disinfected on the lifting platform 41 to move to the tableware recovery area 13. It should be emphasized that the three-dimensional driving assembly of this embodiment is a conventional structure in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] For further information, see Figure 2 The clamping member 81 has an arc-shaped clamping portion, which is used to fully fit the side of the tableware so as to facilitate stable placement and removal of the tableware.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The other parts of the smart dining table except the table body 1 are all provided with two groups, so that multiple tableware can be cleaned and disinfected at the same time, improving work efficiency. For example, one group can be used to clean and disinfect dinner plates, and the other group can be used to clean and disinfect rice bowls.
