Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food covers, in particular to a cover body structure of an intelligent self-sensing food cover. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background technical information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] As for the existing dining covers, they are widely used in buffet restaurants, canteens, Western-style family dinners, buffets, etc. The dining covers keep food warm, prevent dust and separate it from the outside air, and prevent food from being exposed to the air for a long time and causing pollution to the food. For this reason, a dining cover is added on the top of the buffet stove to keep the food warm and separate it from the outside air. However, for conventional dining covers (which cannot be opened automatically), it will add a lot of trouble to diners. When taking food, they need to open the dining cover with a clip in one hand or pick it up and then put it down, so that they can take the dish with a free hand and then take the food in the buffet stove. After taking the food, they need to close or put it back. Once they forget to close it, the food will still be exposed to the air, which will still cause an impact.

[0004] For the existing buffet stove, an automatic cover function is added, specifically the Chinese utility model patent with patent application number 200820212075.6, named as automatic cover stove with sensor, this patent has the following disadvantages and shortcomings: first, because the cover is directly applied to the buffet stove and is integrated with the buffet stove, its application scene is limited. Second, because the device is integrated with the buffet stove, it is very inconvenient to clean and it is easy to have a sanitary dead corner.

[0005] However, the self-sensing dinner cover in the present application has been improved to solve the above problems: 1. The dinner cover is separated from the dinner plate or dinner stove, etc. 2. The flipping method is improved. The rotation axis of the above patent document is parallel to the ground. When the structure of this flipping method is placed on the dinner plate, the flipping process will affect the stability of the dish and the dinner cover. Therefore, it is improved to rotate with the rotation axis perpendicular to the ground. However, after the improvement, the dinner cover needs to be stably placed on the dinner plate, not easily touched, and not affecting the diners to pick up the food inside the dinner cover.

[0009] A transition section is provided between the support cover and the support edge, and the curvature range of the support edge is greater than the curvature range of the support cover.

[0010] The bottom surface of the transparent cover is 0.5-2 mm higher than the bottom surface of the supporting edge.

[0011] When the support cover and the transparent cover are in a closed state, no gap that directly leaks out is generated at the intersection of the two.

[0012] The curvature of the support cover is 180°, and the curvature range of the transparent cover is 182°-185°.

[0013] The curvature range of the supporting edge is greater than 185° and less than 205°.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] It is used to play a supporting role in the intelligent self-sensing dining cover, and can provide stable support without affecting diners' food picking. The overall force structure of the support cover is uniform and the appearance is beautiful, and the transparent cover will not contact or rub against the placement surface when rotating.

[0023] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the present application.

[0024] The utility model describes a cover structure of an intelligent self-sensing dinner cover. Before describing the cover structure, the intelligent self-sensing dinner cover is briefly described: as an independent dinner cover, it can be applied to multiple scenes. When applied to a buffet restaurant or other environment where food can be continuously heated and kept warm, the intelligent self-sensing dinner cover is placed on the top of the buffet stove. The stove and the dinner cover are separated, which is convenient for recycling and cleaning, and the use process is convenient; when the intelligent self-sensing dinner cover is applied to an environment where food cannot be heated, such as an outdoor buffet, a family dinner, and a buffet, it is placed on the top of the dinner plate to cover the food inside, to prevent the food from being contaminated and the temperature and humidity from changing too fast, which affects the taste of the food. During use, there is no need to manually pick up the dinner cover and then place it, and the transparent cover 2 is automatically opened and closed by induction. During the overall use process, each diner can open the dinner cover without touching the dinner cover with his hands. There is no indirect contact between each diner and the dinner cover, and the use process is hygienic, thereby reducing the contact transmission process.

[0025] As shown in the attached figure of the instruction manual Figure 1 — Figure 5 As shown, the cover structure includes a support cover 1 and a transparent cover 2 rotatably connected to the support cover 1;

[0026] The transparent cover 2 and the support cover 1 mainly play the role of shielding the food. The support cover 1 is made of stainless steel, and the transparent cover 2 can be set to acrylic or glass. A non-fogging coating can be added inside the transparent cover 2 to prevent the steam generated by the dishes from affecting the perspective effect of the transparent cover 2. The transparent cover 2 and the support cover 1 are surrounded to form a hemispherical structure, and the inner diameter of the support cover 1 is adapted to the outer diameter of the transparent cover 2. The curvature range of the transparent cover 2 needs to be adapted to the curvature range of the support cover 1, that is, the sum of the two needs to be greater than 360 degrees, which plays the effect of shielding the food. In order to prevent the transparent cover 2 from affecting the clamping of food after opening, and to prevent the transparent cover 2 from generating a gap between the transparent cover 2 and the support cover 1, the curvature range of the transparent cover 2 is 182°-185°, and the curvature range of the support cover 1 is 180°. When the support cover 1 and the transparent cover 2 are in a closed state, the sum of the curvatures of the two is greater than 360°, that is, the intersection of the two does not generate a gap that leaks directly to the outside, and at the same time does not affect the diners from clamping food.

[0027] In order to enable the cover body to be stably placed on a container for dishes or a tabletop without affecting the rotation of the transparent cover 2, further improvements are needed: a supporting edge 3 is provided on the bottom surface of the support cover 1, and the supporting edge 3 is used to increase the contact area between the device and the buffet stove or dinner plate, thereby increasing the stability of the device.

[0028] For the two covers, in order to prevent the transparent cover 2 from contacting the top surface of the container, plate or tabletop for holding dishes when rotating and to control the temperature of the food inside the cover, the bottom surface of the transparent cover 2 is 0.5-2mm higher than the bottom surface of the support edge 3, and it can also prevent flies, insects, dust and the like from directly entering the cover. Since the transparent cover 2 does not contact the top surface of the container, plate or tabletop for holding dishes, that is, the bottom surface of the transparent cover 2 and the bottom surface of the support cover 1 are not on the same horizontal plane, only the support cover 1 plays a supporting role, and the overall balance of the intelligent self-sensing cover needs to be balanced (the transparent cover 2 is subjected to force on one side), and the curvature of the support edge 3 needs to be further improved:

[0029] The curvature range of the support edge 3 must be greater than the curvature range of the support cover 1, so the curvature range of the support edge 3 is set to: greater than 185° and less than 205°, so that the support edge 3 can both support and fix the food without affecting the diners' picking up of food. However, if the curvature range of the support edge 3 is changed alone, the shape will be more abrupt, and the overall force structure will be uneven, as shown in the attached figure of the specification. Figure 1 — Figure 5 As shown, a transition section 4 is provided between the support cover 1 and the support edge 3. The transition section 4 is used to connect the support edge 3 and the support cover 1. The transition section 4 not only makes the appearance more beautiful, but also makes the structure more complete, and the force is dispersed more evenly, thereby achieving better support and fixing effects, so that the whole can be stably placed on the dining stove or the dining plate. When diners pick up the food inside the dining cover, they mostly pick it up through the upper part of the support cover 1, so the support edge 3 and the transition section 4 will not affect the diners picking up the food.

[0030] In summary, the present application plays a supporting role in the intelligent self-sensing table cover, and can provide stable support without affecting diners' food picking up. The overall force structure of the support cover 1 is uniform and the appearance is beautiful, and the transparent cover 2 will not contact or rub against the placement surface when rotating.
