Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ordering screen technology, specifically relating to an adjustable self-service ordering screen for restaurants. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology and the development of the catering industry, self-service ordering systems have become an indispensable part of modern restaurants. These systems not only improve ordering efficiency but also reduce labor costs and enhance the dining experience for customers. However, most existing self-service ordering equipment, especially ordering screens, adopt a fixed design, meaning that the ordering screen is installed in a fixed location, and customers need to walk to the ordering screen to operate it.

[0003] While this type of fixed ordering screen meets basic ordering needs to a certain extent, it has revealed some inconveniences in actual use. First, due to differences in customers' height, body shape, and dining habits, the fixed-position ordering screen may not be able to meet the needs of all customers, causing some customers to have to bend over, tilt their heads back, or adjust their body posture when ordering. This not only affects the comfort of ordering, but may also have a potential impact on the customers' health.

[0004] Therefore, some patents have improved the ordering screens to address the aforementioned defects. Most of these improvements involve using electricity to drive the screens up and down. However, when using such screens, a motor or hydraulic cylinder is required to drive them up and down, which results in a certain waste of electricity. This not only increases the operating costs of restaurants but also violates the modern concept of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0005] Against this backdrop, this utility model proposes a novel adjustable self-service ordering screen for restaurants. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable self-service ordering screen for restaurants, which allows customers to easily pull the screen to a suitable position according to their needs when ordering food. At the same time, after the customer finishes ordering and leaves the screen, the screen can automatically return to its initial position, waiting for the next customer to use it.

[0007] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] An adjustable self-service ordering screen for restaurants includes a base plate, an installation groove inside the base plate, a foot pedal slidably connected inside the installation groove, a sliding plate slidably connected inside the installation groove and at the bottom of the foot pedal, and a retaining strip fixed to the top of one end of the sliding plate and at the outside of the base plate.

[0009] A vertical bar is fixed to the top of the base plate, and a sliding tube is slidably connected to the outside of the vertical bar. The ordering screen body is installed on the side of the sliding tube near the foot pedal.

[0010] A card-shaped body is fixed on the side of the ordering screen body near the card strip, and the card-shaped body and the card strip are engaged with each other. A driving mechanism is installed between the sliding plate and the foot pedal. The driving mechanism is used to drive the sliding plate and the card strip to move, so that the card strip moves toward the card-shaped body.

[0011] The driving mechanism includes a locking block set on the top of the sliding plate. The locking block and the pedal are respectively provided with corresponding inclined surfaces on their respective sides. Multiple second springs are installed between the pedal and the base plate and inside the mounting groove. A third spring is installed between the sliding plate and the base plate and inside the mounting groove.

[0012] A reset component is installed between the vertical bar and the sliding tube, and the reset component is used to drive the ordering screen body to reset.

[0013] The reset assembly includes a bottom fixing piece fixed to the side of the sliding tube away from the ordering screen body, a sliding block slidably connected inside the vertical strip and near the top, a sliding groove provided on the side of the vertical strip away from the ordering screen body and at the position corresponding to the sliding block, a top fixing piece fixed to one side of the sliding block through the sliding groove, and a first spring installed between the top fixing piece and the bottom fixing piece.

[0014] The vertical bar has a screwing structure installed inside, which can drive the sliding block to move up and down when screwed.

[0015] The screwing structure includes a threaded rod rotatably connected inside the vertical bar, the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the sliding block, and a rotating handle being fixed at the top of the threaded rod and at the top of the vertical bar.

[0016] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention allows customers to easily pull the ordering screen to a suitable position according to their needs when ordering food. At the same time, after the customer finishes ordering and leaves the ordering screen, the screen can automatically return to its initial position, waiting for the next customer to use it. This not only improves the customer's ordering comfort but also reduces power consumption, achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an adjustable self-service ordering screen for restaurants includes a base plate 1. A counterweight 21 is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 1. The counterweight 21 can increase the weight of the base plate 1 to prevent the device from tipping over. An installation groove 22 is provided inside the base plate 1. A foot pedal 2 is slidably connected inside the installation groove 22. The foot pedal 2 is used for stepping. When the user steps on the foot pedal 2, the foot pedal 2 can be moved downward under force. A sliding plate 12 is slidably connected inside the installation groove 22 and at the bottom of the foot pedal 2. A retaining strip 3 is fixed to the top of one end of the sliding plate 12 and on the outside of the base plate 1.

[0028] A vertical strip 4 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1. A sliding tube 6 is slidably connected to the outer side of the vertical strip 4. An ordering screen body 5 is installed on the side of the sliding tube 6 near the foot pedal 2. The ordering screen body 5 allows users to order food. A pull handle is provided at the bottom of the ordering screen body 5, so that when the user pulls the ordering screen body 5 by pulling the handle, the ordering screen body 5 can slide on the vertical strip 4. (See attached diagram) Figure 6 As shown, the sliding tube 6 is provided with multiple friction blocks 20 inside, and the friction blocks 20 are in contact with the vertical bar 4. Through this arrangement, the sliding tube 6 can increase the friction between itself and the vertical bar 4, thereby ensuring that the ordering screen body 5 can be stably positioned in a certain position.

[0029] A card-shaped body 11 is fixed to the side of the ordering screen body 5 near the card strip 3, and the card-shaped body 11 and the card strip 3 are engaged with each other. The teeth on the card-shaped body 11 and the card strip 3 are symmetrical, with the inclined surface of the teeth on the card-shaped body 11 facing downwards, while the inclined surface of the teeth on the card strip 3 faces upwards. This allows the card-shaped body 11 to move downwards when it is engaged with the card strip 3 and subjected to force. The teeth on both the card-shaped body 11 and the card strip 3 are made of flexible materials such as rubber or silicone. A drive mechanism is installed between the sliding plate 12 and the foot pedal 2. The drive mechanism is used to drive the sliding plate 12 and the card strip 3 to move, causing the card strip 3 to move towards the card-shaped body 11.

[0030] See attached document Figure 2 The driving mechanism includes a locking block 13 set on the top of the sliding plate 12. The locking block 13 and the pedal 2 are respectively provided with corresponding inclined surfaces 14. When the pedal 2 moves down, the inclined surface 14 on the pedal 2 first contacts the inclined surface 14 on the locking block 13, so that when the pedal 2 moves down, it can drive the sliding plate 12 to move towards the pedal 2, so that the locking strip 3 and the locking body 11 are locked together. Multiple second springs 15 are installed between the pedal 2 and the base plate 1 and inside the mounting groove 22. A third spring 16 is installed between the sliding plate 12 and the base plate 1 and inside the mounting groove 22.

[0031] In summary, when using this application, the user first needs to walk on the pedal 2. By using the user's weight, the pedal 2 is moved down, and the inclined surface 14 on the pedal 2 comes into contact with the inclined surface 14 on the block 13, thereby moving the sliding plate 12 and the locking strip 3, so that the locking strip 3 locks onto the card body 11.

[0032] When the user feels that the ordering screen body 5 is too high, the user can pull the ordering screen body 5 down, which will cause the card body 11 to move down until the user feels that the height is appropriate. Then the user can stop pulling the ordering screen body 5. Then, through the action of the friction block 20 and the mutual interlocking of the card body 11 and the card strip 3, the ordering screen body 5 can be kept in this stable position.

[0033] After the user finishes ordering, they step down and press the pedal 2. The pedal 2 can be reset by the second spring 15, while the sliding plate 12 and the card strip 3 can be reset by the third spring 16, so that the card strip 3 and the card body 11 are no longer in a locked state.

[0034] A reset assembly is installed between the vertical bar 4 and the sliding tube 6. The reset assembly is used to drive the ordering screen body 5 to reset.

[0035] See attached document Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The reset assembly includes a bottom fixing piece 7 fixed to the side of the sliding tube 6 away from the ordering screen body 5, a sliding block 8 slidably connected inside the vertical strip 4 near the top, a sliding groove 19 provided on the side of the vertical strip 4 away from the ordering screen body 5 and at the corresponding position of the sliding block 8, a top fixing piece 9 fixed to one side of the sliding block 8 through the sliding groove 19, and a first spring 10 installed between the top fixing piece 9 and the bottom fixing piece 7.

[0036] After the user steps down and presses the pedal 2, the pulling force of the first spring 10 causes the bottom fixing plate 7 to move upward, which in turn causes the ordering screen body 5 and the sliding tube 6 to move upward, thereby causing the ordering screen body 5 to move upward to the original height of the general public.

[0037] The vertical bar 4 has a screw mechanism installed inside. When the screw mechanism is screwed, it can drive the sliding block 8 to move up and down.

[0038] See attached document Figure 4 The screwing structure includes a threaded rod 17 rotatably connected inside the vertical bar 4. The threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the sliding block 8. A rotating handle 18 is fixed at the top of the threaded rod 17 and at the top of the vertical bar 4. Multiple anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer side of the rotating handle 18 to prevent the user's hand from slipping when rotating the rotating handle 18.

[0039] When it is necessary to adjust the initial position of the rotating handle 18 according to the height characteristics of people in the north and south, the rotating handle 18 can be turned, thereby driving the threaded rod 17 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 17 and the sliding block 8, and through the sliding connection between the sliding block 8 and the vertical bar 4, the rotating threaded rod 17 can drive the sliding block 8 to move up and down, thereby driving the top fixing plate 9 to move up and down. Thus, when the top fixing plate 9 moves up or down, the initial height of the ordering screen body 5 can be adjusted according to the stable length of the first spring 10.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
