Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of catering supplies distribution, in particular to a catering supplies dispenser. Background Art
[0002] In the catering industry, as a daily essential cleaning supply, the distribution method of paper towels has always been one of the key factors to improve the user dining experience. The convenient and hygienic distribution of paper towels not only concerns the direct feelings of consumers, but also to a certain extent reflects the service quality and brand image of catering enterprises. However, a series of problems have emerged in the actual application of traditional paper towel distribution methods, which urgently need to be solved through technological innovation. Traditional paper towel distribution methods usually adopt a simple boxed structure. This design can indeed meet the basic usage needs when the paper towels are sufficient. However, when the paper towels gradually decrease, especially when the paper towels are at the bottom of the box, users need to take some less convenient ways to obtain the paper towels. The most common way is that users need to put their fingers into the box and grope to find the paper towels and take them out. This operation method has several significant drawbacks.
[0003] First of all, from a hygienic perspective, the behavior of users putting their fingers into the box to take paper towels is extremely unhygienic. In a catering environment, users' hands often have come into contact with various foods and tableware and will inevitably be contaminated with bacteria or dirt. When users' fingers are put into the box, these bacteria or dirt may contaminate the paper towels in the box, thereby affecting the hygienic quality of the paper towels. Especially during the epidemic, the importance of maintaining personal and environmental hygiene has become more prominent. This traditional paper towel distribution method undoubtedly increases the risk of cross-infection.
[0004] Secondly, from the perspective of the use experience, the operation method of putting fingers into the box to take paper towels also increases the difficulty of use for users. On the one hand, due to the limited space inside the box, users' fingers may be hindered when groping for paper towels, resulting in unsmooth paper towel taking; on the other hand, for users with thicker fingers or shorter finger lengths, putting their fingers into the box to take paper towels is even more of a challenge, and may even cause users to be unable to successfully take out the paper towels. This inconvenient use experience not only reduces user satisfaction, but may also affect users' overall evaluation of catering enterprises.
[0005] In addition, traditional paper towel distribution methods also have some other limitations. For example, paper towel dispensers with a boxed structure often cannot accommodate too many paper towels. Once the paper towels are used up, they need to be replaced in time, which increases the operating costs of catering enterprises and the workload of employees. At the same time, due to the relatively fixed design of the boxed structure, it cannot adapt to paper towels of different shapes and sizes, which also limits its scope of application.
[0006] To solve the problems existing in the traditional tissue paper dispensing method, some new types of tissue paper dispensers have emerged on the market. These dispensers usually adopt a more user-friendly design, such as an open or inclined paper-taking opening, enabling users to easily take out the tissue paper without reaching into the inside of the box. At the same time, some dispensers are also equipped with a disinfection function, which can disinfect the paper-taking opening after each tissue paper is taken out, further ensuring the hygiene quality of the tissue paper. However, these new dispensers still have some deficiencies in design and function, such as complex structure, high cost, limited scope of application, etc.
[0007] Among them, during the actual use process, when the tissue paper is at the bottom of the box, the user needs to put their finger into the inside of the box and grope to find the tissue paper and take it out. This operation method is not only unhygienic but also increases the difficulty of use for the user. Since the user needs to reach into the inside of the box to take the tissue paper, the bacteria or dirt on the finger may contaminate the tissue paper inside the box, thereby affecting the hygiene quality of the tissue paper. Therefore, a catering supplies dispenser is hereby proposed. Summary of the Utility Model
[0008] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a catering supplies dispenser, which solves the problem in the prior art that when the tissue paper is at the bottom of the box, the user needs to put their finger into the inside of the box and grope to find the tissue paper and take it out.
