[0002] With the increasing labor cost, the dish transportation has changed from traditional pure manual handling to semi-automatic transportation to reduce the amount of labor in restaurants and the operation cost of restaurants. For example, the food delivery robots are widely used in meal elevators and hotels at present, but the capacity of the food delivery robots is small and the handling efficiency is low. Another example is a windmill-type three-dimensional conveying device disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 2015207292091. This device is used to lift and transport dishes. The dishes are placed on a dinner plate, and the dinner plate is placed on the conveying device and transported up or down. Since the volume of the dinner plate is limited, the number of dishes transported each time is limited. At the same time, a person needs to be arranged at each dish-taking port on each floor to manually carry the dishes to the dining table, and only one or a few dishes can be served at a time, with low efficiency. For some restaurants with a large customer flow, it is necessary to serve dishes in batches quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a conveying system that can transport dishes in batches to improve the dish-serving efficiency and reduce the labor cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0023] Embodiment, as Figures 1 to 9 shown, a batch rapid dish delivery system includes a dining car 2 that can move on flat ground, a lifter 1 for smoothly transporting the dining car 2 up and down, and a delivery robot 3 for transporting the dining car 2 on a plane.

[0024] The lifter 1 includes a chassis 17. A set of side opening doors 171 corresponding to the food-taking floors are arranged on the chassis 17, and the dining car 2 enters and exits through the side opening doors 171. A frame 11 arranged inside the chassis 17, a driving shaft 12 and a driven shaft 13 arranged vertically on the frame 11, two rotary conveying chains 14 arranged between the driving shaft 12 and the driven shaft 13, and a set of suspension components 15 for driving the dining car 2 to move up and down are arranged between the two rotary conveying chains 14. A pressing bar 16 is arranged below the suspension components 15. The upper part of the dining car 2 is suspended and supported on the suspension components 15, and the lower part is pressed against the pressing bar 16, so as to ensure that the dining car 2 remains stable and does not shake during the up and down transportation. A suspension part 21 cooperating with the suspension components 15 is arranged on the dining car 2.

[0025] The delivery robot 3 includes a moving trolley 31 and a liftable support plate 32 arranged on the moving trolley 31.
