[0070] The adsorption block 303 is a magnet, and the container 1 is made of iron or steel.

[0071] The food serving device further comprises a housing 5 , which is used to enclose the lateral moving mechanism and the second motor 301 .

[0072] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0073] Horizontal movement mechanism

[0074] Components: The lateral movement mechanism includes a first motor 201, a first screw 202, a first nut 203, a first connecting plate 204, a first slider 205, a second slider 206, a first slide 207, a second connecting plate 208 and a first tray 209.

[0075] Working process:

[0076] The first motor 201 drives the first screw 202 to rotate via the output shaft.

[0077] Since the first nut 203 is connected to the first screw rod 202 via threads, when the first screw rod 202 rotates, the first nut 203 reciprocates along the axis direction of the first screw rod 202 .

[0078] The first connecting plate 204 is fixed on the first nut 203 and moves along with the movement of the first nut 203 .

[0079] A first slider 205 is provided between the first connecting plate 204 and the second connecting plate 208 to ensure smooth relative movement therebetween.

[0080] A second sliding block 206 is installed on the lower side of the second connecting plate 208 . The second sliding block 206 is located in the first sliding groove 207 to ensure the horizontal stability of the second connecting plate 208 .

[0081] The container 1 is placed on the first tray 209 and moves along with the first tray 209. The first tray 209 is mounted on the second connecting plate 208 and thus moves along with the second connecting plate 208.

[0082] Flip mechanism

[0083] Components: The flipping mechanism includes a second motor 301 , a swing arm 302 and an adsorption block 303 .

[0084] Working process:

[0085] The rotating shaft of the second motor 301 is connected to one end of the swing arm 302. When the second motor 301 rotates, the swing arm 302 is driven to swing.

[0086] The other end of the swing arm 302 is provided with an adsorption block 303 , which is a magnet and can be adsorbed on the side wall of the container 1 (made of iron or steel).

[0087] When the swing arm 302 swings, the adsorption block 303 flips the container 1 from the initial position to the target position to achieve the dish-dropping action.

[0088] A buffer block 304 is provided on the swing path of the swing arm 302 to limit the maximum swing angle of the swing arm 302 and to absorb impact force to protect mechanical components.

[0089] Sensor system

[0090] Components: first baffle 401 , first sensor 402 , second sensor 403 , third sensor 404 .

[0091] Working process:

[0092] The first blocking piece 401 is mounted on the first nut 203 and moves along with the movement of the first nut 203 .

[0093] On the side of the first screw 202 , along the moving path of the first blocking piece 401 , a first sensor 402 , a second sensor 403 and a third sensor 404 are sequentially arranged.

[0094] When the first baffle 401 triggers different sensors, the control system will determine which container 1 the adsorption block 303 should adsorb to perform the flipping operation based on the position information of the sensors.

[0095] For example, when the first baffle 401 moves to the first sensor 402 , the adsorption block 303 adsorbs the nearest container 1 ; when it moves to the second sensor 403 , the adsorption block 303 adsorbs the second container 1 ; and so on.

[0096] Shell 5

[0097] Function: The entire device also includes a shell 5 for enclosing the lateral movement mechanism and the second motor 301, which plays a role in protecting the internal mechanical structure and also makes the appearance more neat and beautiful.

[0098] Through the coordinated operation of the above-mentioned components, the food delivery device can efficiently and accurately complete the movement and flipping of the container 1, thereby realizing the automated food delivery function. This design not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the need for manual intervention, and is suitable for various catering service scenarios.

[0099] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the practical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
