Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food ordering machine technology, and in particular relates to a self-service food ordering machine that is easy to move. Background Technology

[0002] A small number of self-service ordering machines have quietly entered hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues, and are gradually being accepted by the public. Most common self-service ordering machines are stationary; in special circumstances where they need to be moved, they must be disassembled, which is time-consuming and laborious. To solve this problem, the following method is provided:

[0003] Chinese patent document CN212929265U discloses a portable self-service ordering machine, specifically comprising an ordering machine, a support device, a self-locking drive device, a front wheel axle system, and a rear wheel axle system. The support plate of the ordering machine has two adapter holes for the ordering machine support pins. The self-locking drive device includes a drive lifting plate and a lifting plate connecting rod. A drive handle and a lifting plate hinge support are fixed on the drive lifting plate. The front wheel axle system includes a front wheel axle, two front wheel bearings, a front wheel, and a front wheel fixing nut. A front wheel axle support plate is fixed on the front wheel axle. A rear wheel axle support block is fixed on the rear wheel axle. Two springs are connected to both sides of the rear wheel axle support block. A self-locking pin is fixed on the rear wheel axle lifting plate. With this structure, the self-service ordering machine is easy to reposition due to the presence of front and rear wheels. Furthermore, the cooperation of the self-locking drive device, the self-locking pin, and the self-locking disc ensures that the self-service ordering machine does not shift during normal use, making it safe and reliable.

[0004] As shown above, existing self-service ordering machines move using front and rear wheels on a wheel and axle system. Once moved to a designated position, a self-locking pin, a self-locking disc, and a spring work together to limit the machine's movement. However, this limiting method is not very effective; the machine can still shift under significant force or impact, failing to completely stop it. Furthermore, the machine's installation height is not adjustable, making it unsuitable for various environments. Therefore, this paper proposes a more mobile self-service ordering machine to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-service ordering machine that is easy to move, in order to solve the technical problems such as displacement after being subjected to a large push or collision, and the inability to adjust the installation height of the ordering machine.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A portable self-service ordering machine includes a support column and feet at the bottom of the support column, as well as an ordering machine body and a fixing component on the back of the ordering machine body. The support column has a plurality of mounting holes arranged in a vertical array. The fixing component is fixedly installed at the mounting holes by bolts. The support column is provided with a moving part for moving the ordering machine body, and is also provided with a control part for controlling the moving part to lift and lower.

[0008] Furthermore, the end face of the support leg that contacts the ground has an anti-slip pad, which is a silicone pad.

[0009] Furthermore, the moving component includes a lifting plate that is movably mounted on the support column. Both ends of the lifting plate are equipped with fixed frames, and each fixed frame is equipped with several support shells. Each support shell is rotatably equipped with wheels for contacting the ground.

[0010] Furthermore, the support column is formed with a sliding groove, and several vertically arranged guide rods are provided in the sliding groove, with the lifting plate slidably mounted on the guide rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the control component includes a lead screw mounted on a support column via a bearing. The lead screw is arranged vertically and its threaded portion extends upward into a groove. A lead screw sleeve threadedly connected to the lead screw is mounted on a lifting plate. A mounting plate is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the support column. A servo motor is mounted on the mounting plate. A second bevel gear is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor, and a first bevel gear is mounted at the bottom end of the lead screw. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective shell is installed on the support column to cover the lifting platform.

[0013] This invention has the following advantages: Compared with the prior art, this invention uses a moving component to push the ordering machine body, allowing it to be moved. Once moved to the designated location, the control component is activated, slowly raising the moving component. The support legs then contact the ground, and after contact, the moving component detaches from the ground, ultimately supporting the ordering machine body and preventing it from shifting due to accidental contact. Several mounting holes are arranged in a vertical array, allowing the ordering machine body to be installed at different heights depending on the environment. Furthermore, it can be disassembled after installation for easy height adjustment and simple operation. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a portable self-service ordering machine is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model of a portable self-service ordering machine includes a support column 2 and legs 1 located at the bottom of the support column 2. It also includes an ordering machine body 4 and a fixing member 3 located on the back of the ordering machine body 4. The support column 2 has a plurality of mounting holes 5 arranged in a vertical array. The fixing member 3 is fixed to the mounting holes 5 with bolts, allowing the ordering machine body 4 to be mounted on the support column 2. The legs 1 and support column 2 support the ordering machine body 4. The arrangement of the mounting holes 5 in a vertical array allows the ordering machine body 4 to be installed at different heights depending on the environment, and it can be disassembled after installation for easy height adjustment. Additionally, an anti-slip pad 6, made of silicone, is provided on the end face of the legs 1 that contacts the ground. When the legs 1 support and limit the entire ordering machine, the anti-slip pad 6 contacts the ground, increasing friction and allowing the legs 1 to better support and limit the ordering machine body 4.

[0021] Furthermore, the support column 2 is equipped with a moving part 7 that moves the ordering machine body 4, and also with a control part 8 for controlling the raising and lowering of the moving part 7. When the moving part 7 contacts the ground, pushing the ordering machine body 4 will move it. After moving to the designated position, the control part 8 is activated, controlling the moving part 7 to slowly rise. The anti-slip pad 6 on the support leg 1 contacts the ground. After the anti-slip pad 6 contacts the ground, the moving part 7 will detach from the ground. Finally, the support leg 1 supports the ordering machine body 4 to prevent the ordering machine body 4 from shifting after accidental contact.

[0022] like Figure 3-4As shown, the moving component 7 includes a lifting plate 701, a sliding groove 705 formed on the support column 2, and several vertically arranged guide rods 706 provided in the sliding groove 705. The lifting plate 701 is slidably mounted on the guide rods 706. The lifting plate 701 can be controlled to move up and down on the guide rods 706 by the control component 8. Both ends of the lifting plate 701 are provided with fixed frames 702, and each fixed frame 702 is provided with several support shells 703. Each support shell 703 is rotatably provided with wheels 704 for contacting the ground. When the ordering machine body 4 is pushed, it can move under the action of the wheels 704. The wheels 704 are provided with several grooves to increase friction, allowing for better movement of the ordering machine body 4.

[0023] Furthermore, the control component 8 includes a lead screw 804 mounted on the support column 2 via a bearing 803. The lead screw 804 is vertically arranged, and its threaded portion extends upward into the slide groove 705. A lead screw sleeve 805, threadedly connected to the lead screw 804, is mounted on the lifting plate 701. After the lead screw 804 is driven to rotate, the lifting plate 701 can be driven to move up and down within the slide groove 705 under the action of the lead screw sleeve 805. A mounting plate 801 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the support column 2. A servo motor 802 is mounted on the mounting plate 801. A second bevel gear 807 is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 802, and a first bevel gear 806 is mounted at the bottom end of the lead screw 804. The first bevel gear 806 meshes with the second bevel gear 807. By running the servo motor 802, the lead screw 804 can be driven to rotate forward and backward under the transmission action of the first bevel gear 806 and the second bevel gear 807, thereby driving the lifting plate 701 to move up and down within the slide groove 705. When the drive screw 804 rotates forward, the lifting plate 701 slides upward on the support column 2, thereby causing the fixed frame 702, support shell 703, and wheel 704 to move upward together. When the drive screw 804 rotates in reverse, the lifting plate 701 causes the fixed frame 702, support shell 703, and wheel 704 to move downward, achieving the lifting effect. Additionally, a protective shell 9 is installed on the support column 2 to cover the lifting plate 701, preventing accidental contact by operators while using the ordering machine.

[0024] In summary, the specific working principle is as follows: When the ordering machine body 4 needs to be moved, it can be moved by pushing it. After being moved to the designated location, the servo motor 802 is activated. Under the transmission of the first bevel gear 806 and the second bevel gear 807, the lead screw 804 is driven to rotate forward. Through the lead screw sleeve 805, the lifting plate 701 is driven to slide upward on the support column 2, thereby driving the fixed frame 702, the support shell 703, and the wheels 704 to move upward together. After the support leg 1 contacts the ground, the wheels 704 leave the ground, ultimately allowing the support leg 1 to support the ordering machine body 4 and prevent the ordering machine body 4 from shifting after accidental contact. When it needs to be moved again, the wheels 704 are reset to contact the ground again.
