[0039] Example 1

[0040] See Figure 1-7As shown, the storage device includes a mounting plate 1 and a storage rack 2. The mounting plate 1 is mounted on a self-service pizza machine body 3 and has a plurality of mounting holes 11. The storage rack 2 includes a fixing rack 21 and at least one partition 22 respectively mounted on both sides of the mounting plate 1. A plurality of storage spaces 4 for placing pizza boxes 5 are formed between the partition 22 and the fixing rack 21 and / or between two adjacent partitions 22. The partition 22 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 1 through the mounting holes 11. The partition 22 can be adjusted according to the needs of the user, so that the storage device can place pizza boxes 5 of different sizes at the same time, or can place pizza boxes 5 of one size alone. The structure is simple and practical.

[0041] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the number of the partitions 22 in this embodiment is three, and the storage space 4 is formed between two parallel second fixing plates 24, two adjacent second fixing plates 24 and two adjacent partitions 22. And the storage space 4 is formed between the partition 22 and the fixing frame 21. In other specific embodiments, the number of the partition 22 can also be only one. In the case of only one partition 22, the storage space 4 is formed between the partition 22 and the fixing frames 21 on the left and right sides, that is: a plurality of first fixing plates 23 are installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 21, and a plurality of second fixing plates 24 are installed on the partition 22, and the storage space 4 is formed between two adjacent first fixing plates 23, two adjacent second fixing plates 24, the fixing frame 21 and the partition 22.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, one side of the first fixing plate 23 of this embodiment is mounted on the fixing frame 21, and the other side of the second fixing plate 24 is mounted on the mounting plate 1. This arrangement has a simple structure and a good fixing effect. In other specific embodiments, the first fixing plate 23 can be mounted only on the fixing frame 21 or only on the mounting plate 1. In this installation method, when the pizza box 5 is light in weight, only one end can be fixed to support the pizza box 5, reducing the installation steps, but the corresponding supporting effect will be reduced.

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, one side of the second fixing plate 24 is mounted on the mounting plate 1 , and the other side of the second fixing plate 24 is mounted on the partition plate 22 .

[0044] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the front end of the partition 22 is provided with a plurality of first slots 221, the rear end of the second fixing plate 24 is provided with a second slot 241, and each of the second fixing plates 24 is detachably connected to the partition 22 through the second slots 241 and one of the first slots 221. This arrangement enables the second fixing plate 24 to have a better fixing effect when installed on the partition 22, and the partition 22 divides the second fixing plate 24 into left and right parts. In this way, the left and right parts of the second fixing plate 24 can be combined with other second fixing plates 24 or first fixing plates 23 to fix the pizza boxes 5 in other storage spaces 4. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and the fixing effect is good.

[0045] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, a plurality of first slots 221 are equidistantly spaced and distributed on the partition 22, and the number of the first slots 221 is greater than the number of the second fixing plates 24. With this arrangement, when the second fixing plate 24 is installed, the installation position of the second fixing plate 24 can be adjusted according to the height of the pizza box 5, so that the storage device can adapt to the storage of pizza boxes 5 of various heights.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, a plurality of the mounting holes 11 are distributed at equal intervals on the mounting plate 1. This arrangement allows the user to adjust the position of the partition 22 according to actual needs, such as adjusting the storage space 4 to a width suitable for placing a 6-inch pizza box 5, so as to place a 6-inch pizza, or to a width suitable for placing an 8-inch pizza box 5. In the case of having multiple partitions 22, the storage space 4 can be adjusted to be able to place 6-inch, 8-inch, and 12-inch pizza boxes 5 at the same time. The structure is simple and the adaptability is strong.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the partition 22 is provided with a plurality of through holes 222, and the through holes 222 are evenly spaced and distributed on the partition 22. The through holes 222 are arranged so that the cold air in each storage space 4 can be more uniform, so as to facilitate the freezing or refrigeration of the pizza and delay the shelf life.
