[0026] As described in the background art, among existing meal plate designs, stackable plates are widely popular due to their portability and space-saving features. However, this type of plate has a significant problem during use: when the plates are stacked, the food in the lower plate is easily contaminated by the direct contact of the upper plate with the food on the bottom. When the plates are placed on the table, the bottom of the upper plate will directly contact the table. The food or steam on the bottom of the upper plate may contaminate the table or other items on the table. In addition, the bottom of the upper plate is prone to accumulate stains and bacteria due to long-term contact with the table, further increasing the risk of cross-contamination of food.

[0027] In order to solve this technical problem, the utility model provides a meal tray assembly.

[0028] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , the meal tray components specifically include:

[0029] The lower plate body 1, the upper plate body 2 and the protective cover 3 are stacked in sequence from bottom to top. A first limiting member is provided at the bottom of the upper plate body 2, and a second limiting member is provided at the bottom of the protective cover 3. The second limiting member is used to limit the position between the upper plate body 2 and the protective cover 3, and the first limiting member is used to limit the position between the upper plate body 2 and the lower plate body 1.

[0030] The meal plate assembly provided by the present invention has a protective cover 3 provided in the present application. The protective cover 3 can protect the upper meal plate body 2 during carrying. When dining, the protective cover 3 can be set at the bottom of the upper meal plate body 2. This setting can isolate the upper meal plate body 2 from the table, reduce the contamination of the table, avoid the risk of food cross-contamination and table contamination, and thus significantly improve the hygiene and safety of food. The protective cover 3 is set at the bottom of the upper meal plate body 2 when dining, and can also reduce the problem of scratches on the bottom of the upper meal plate body 2 due to direct contact with hard objects or friction, resulting in food residues in the scratches that are difficult to clean.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features and technical solutions therein can be combined with each other.

[0033] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0034] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The bottom of the upper plate body 2 is provided with a first limiting piece, and the bottom of the protective cover 3 is provided with a second limiting piece. The second limiting piece is used for limiting the position of the upper plate body 2 and the protective cover 3, and the first limiting piece is used for limiting the position of the upper plate body 2 and the lower plate body 1; the protective cover 3 can protect the upper plate body 2 during carrying, and the protective cover 3 can be set at the bottom of the upper plate body 2 when dining. This arrangement can isolate the upper plate body 2 from the table, reduce the contamination of the table, avoid the risk of cross-contamination of food and table contamination, thereby significantly improving the hygiene and safety of food. The protective cover 3 is set at the bottom of the upper plate body 2 when dining, and can also reduce the problem that the bottom of the upper plate body 2 is scratched due to direct contact with hard objects or friction, resulting in food residue in the scratches that is difficult to clean.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the protective cover 3 is also used to be placed at the bottom of the upper dining plate body 2 after the upper dining plate body 2 and the lower dining plate body 1 are separated, so as to isolate the upper dining plate body 2 from the table surface and reduce the contamination of the table surface by the upper dining plate body 2 during dining.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 3As shown, the first limiting member is a limiting plate 4, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper plate body 2; the outer surface of the limiting plate 4 is plugged into the inner wall of the lower plate body 1 to achieve limiting of the upper plate body 2 and the lower plate body 1 after they are stacked, thereby improving the stability between the upper plate body 2 and the lower plate body 1 during carrying.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second limiting member is a limiting frame 5, which is fixedly installed on the bottom of the protective cover 3; the outer surface of the limiting frame 5 is plugged into the inner wall of the upper plate body 2 to achieve the limiting of the upper plate body 2 and the protective cover 3 after they are stacked, thereby improving the stability between the upper plate body 2 and the protective cover 3 during carrying.

[0038] In Example 2, the meal tray assembly provided in Example 1 is further optimized. Specifically, the contour and size of the inner wall of the limiting frame 5 are adapted to the contour and size of the outer peripheral side of the limiting plate 4. This arrangement allows the limiting frame 5 and the limiting plate 4 to be plugged into each other for positioning when the protective cover 3 is set at the bottom of the upper meal tray body 2, thereby improving the stability of the protective cover 3 when it is set at the bottom of the upper meal tray body 2.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, buckles 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower plate body 1, and hooks 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective cover 3. The hooks 8 are buckled with the buckles 9. Through the mutual cooperation of the hooks 8 and the buckles 9, the protective cover 3, the upper plate body 2 and the lower plate body 1 can be fixed together.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottom end of the hook 8 is tilted toward the inner side of the protective cover 3, so that Figure 4 In this state, the hook 8 can clamp the upper plate body 2, further improving the stability of the connection between the upper plate body 2 and the protective cover 3. That is, after opening the protective cover 3, the upper plate body 2 is removed from above the lower plate body 1, and then the protective cover 3 is placed on the bottom of the upper plate body 2 so that the limiting plate 4 and the limiting frame 5 are plugged into the casing.

[0041] Example 3, further optimizes the meal tray assembly provided in Example 1 or 2, specifically, as Figure 1 As shown, a groove 6 is provided on the top of the protective cover 3, and a folding handle 7 is installed in the groove 6. The setting of the groove 6 can prevent the folding handle 7 from protruding, and the setting of the folding handle 7 is convenient for carrying the whole.
