[0021] Example 1:

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a self-service catering heating scale that prevents food plates from tipping over, comprising a control base 1, a weighing sensor 2 fixedly connected to the top of the control base 1, elastic members 3 fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the control base 1, a disc 4 fixedly connected to the top of the elastic member 3, a weighing pan 5 fixedly connected to the top of the disc 4, a heating pan 6 fixedly connected to the top of the weighing pan 5, a protective cover 7 movably connected to the outer surface of the weighing pan 5, a fixing plate 8 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the disc 4, and a fixing plate 9 fixedly connected to both sides of the protective cover 7. The fixing frame 9, one side of the fixing plate 8 and the inner wall of the fixing frame 9 are fixedly connected with a magnet block 10. A pressure display 11 is provided on one side of the front of the control base 1. The buffet tray is placed on the heating plate 6 on the top of the weighing pan 5, and then the protective cover 7 is moved upward. The upward movement of the protective cover 7 will drive the fixing frame 9 to move upward. The fixing frame 9 drives the magnet block 10 on its inner wall to move upward until it attracts the magnet block 10 on one side of the fixing plate 8, thereby fixing the protective cover 7. The protective cover 7 surrounds the buffet tray on the top of the weighing pan 5.

[0023] The present technical solution provides a protective cover 7, a fixing plate 8, a fixing frame 9 and a magnet block 10, and protects the buffet plate to be heated through a protective structure that can be moved up and down, thereby preventing the plate from falling.

[0024] Example 2:

[0025] On the basis of embodiment 1, the present invention is as follows Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a circular plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the surface of the protective cover 7, and the bottom of the circular plate 12 is provided with anti-slip grooves. A pad 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the control base 1, and the four corners of the bottom of the pad 13 are fixedly connected to support pads. The bottom of the support pad is fixedly connected to a suction cup 14, and handles are fixedly connected to both sides of the control base 1, and the inner wall of the handle is fixedly connected to a soft cushion.

[0026] The above technical solution is adopted mainly to facilitate the movement of the protective cover 7, improve the placement stability of the control base 1 and facilitate the lifting of the heating scale. It is more convenient to pinch the circular plate 12 with your hand and move the protective cover 7 upward through the circular plate 12. The four sets of supporting foot pads and the suction cup 14 can stably support the bottom of the control base 1, making the heating scale more stable when placed. Holding the handle with your hand, it is more convenient and labor-saving to lift the heating scale through the handle and is not prone to slipping.

[0027] Example 3:

[0028] On the basis of embodiment 2, the present invention is as follows Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a vertical plate is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the disc 4, a positioning frame is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the control base 1, a positioning sleeve is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate, the inner cavity of the positioning sleeve is movably connected to the surface of the positioning frame, a protective shell is fixedly connected to the front of the control base 1, and the pressure display 11 is located in the inner cavity of the protective shell.
