Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food sales technology, specifically a bulk food sales device. Background Technology

[0002] When selling bulk food, it is usually packed into food boxes and displayed on the shelf. When customers buy bulk food, they open the lid of the food box and use a spoon to put the bulk food into the food bag. Opening the lid multiple times and using a spoon in the food box can easily cause the food inside to become contaminated. Furthermore, frequent opening of the lid or customers forgetting to close the lid can cause the food inside the food box to become damp and spoil, affecting sales.

[0003] Chinese Patent (Authorization Announcement No.: CN 214608974 U, Authorization Announcement Date: 2021.11.05) proposes a bulk food sales device. Due to the discharge device installed on the box body, and under the action of the discharge control device, the sliding of the wedge-shaped slider is controlled by pulling the pull ring on the outside of the box body, thereby opening and closing the discharge port. This allows bulk food to flow out of the discharge port and into a food bag fitted on the discharge hopper without opening the lid. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to use, and avoids contamination or moisture-induced spoilage of the bulk food inside the box.

[0004] During the use of the above-mentioned device, the bottom side of the wedge slider is prone to jamming during long-term pulling and sliding, which ultimately affects the performance of the device. In addition, air can easily enter from the discharge port during use, causing the food to become damp and reducing its shelf life. Furthermore, the lack of a certain slope between the discharge port and the bottom wall of the device makes the food discharge unstable. Therefore, we propose a bulk food sales device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bulk food sales device. By installing a material control component on the food box, this component allows a sliding handle to slide upwards through a sliding hole, causing a baffle plate to slide upwards. A spring actuates the opening and closing of the baffle plate at the outlet. This method of opening and closing the outlet prevents jamming during operation. The baffle plate and sliding block are connected by a sliding rod, and a second spring on the sliding rod causes the baffle plate to pop out when it reaches the outlet, completely blocking it and improving the sealing performance of the baffle plate. The top sides of the material plate and the top side of the discharge port are rounded to prevent the baffle plate from getting stuck when sliding upwards. A movable storage component with wheels is installed inside the vending cart to facilitate its movement and allow for the sale of bulk food in different locations. After movement, the wheels can be stored to prevent slippage during the sales process. Inclined plates are installed on the left and right sides of the discharge port inside the food box, and the bottom wall of the food box is lower on the side closer to the discharge port than on the side farther away from the discharge port.

Both sets of limiting plates 13 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the vending cart 1. A third bevel gear 18 and a second bevel gear 10 are fixedly connected to the top ends of screw 2 17 and screw 12, respectively. The third bevel gear 18 meshes with the fourth bevel gear 19, and the second bevel gear 10 meshes with the first bevel gear 9.

[0029] Both screw 17 and screw 12 are threaded with support frames 14. Limiting rods are provided on the front and rear sides of the support frame 14. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting rod. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vending cart 1. Rollers 15 are installed on the bottom side of the support frame 14.

[0030] When the mobile storage component is in use, rotating the handle 8 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. Since the fourth bevel gear 19 and the first bevel gear 9, which are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 7, mesh with the third bevel gear 18 on the second screw 17 and the second bevel gear 10 on the first screw 12, respectively, the second screw 17 and the first screw 12 are rotated, which in turn drives the support frame 14, which is threadedly connected to the second screw 17 and the first screw 12, to rise and fall. When the support frame 14 is lowered, it supports the vending cart 1 and moves through the rollers 15 on the bottom side of the support frame 14. When it reaches the sales location, the support frame 14 is raised to store the rollers 15.

[0031] The material control assembly includes a lid 20, which is hinged to the top side of the food box 6. A locking handle 24 is rotatably provided on the front side of the lid 20. A locking plate 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the locking handle 24. A locking groove 25 is provided on the top right side of the food box 6. The locking plate 26 is slidably connected to the locking groove 25.

[0032] The food box 6 has a discharge port 21 and a sliding hole 23 on its front side. The food box 6 also has a sliding groove 28. The discharge port 21 and the sliding hole 23 are connected to the sliding groove 28. A sliding block 30 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 28. A spring 29 is fixedly connected between the top side of the sliding block 30 and the inner wall of the top side of the sliding groove 28. A sliding handle 22 is fixedly connected to the front side of the sliding block 30. The other end of the sliding handle 22 extends out of the outside of the food box 6 through the sliding hole 23. Several sliding rods 33 are fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the sliding block 30. A baffle plate 31 is provided on the front side of the sliding block 30.

A spring 34 is sleeved on the sliding rod 33 between the sliding block 30 and the baffle plate 31.

[0033] The food box 6 has inclined plates 27 on both the left and right sides of the discharge port 21 inside. The bottom wall of the food box 6 is lower on the side closer to the discharge port 21 than on the side farther away from the discharge port 21.

[0034] When the material control component is in use, the sliding handle 22 is pulled and slid on the sliding hole 23, which drives the sliding block 30 to slide on the sliding groove 28. Since the sliding block 30 and the baffle plate 31 are connected by the sliding rod 33, and the sliding rod 33 is slidably connected on the T-shaped groove 32, the baffle plate 31 is prevented from detaching from the sliding block 30. A spring 2 34 is sleeved between the sliding block 30 and the baffle plate 31, which allows the baffle plate 31 to drop down to the discharge port 21 and pop out to block the discharge port 21. The rounded corners set on the top side of the baffle plate 31 and the top side of the discharge port 21 prevent the baffle plate 31 from getting stuck when sliding upward. When the discharge is completed, the sliding handle 22 is released. Under the action of the spring 1 29, the baffle plate 31 slides down to block the discharge port 21. The lid 20 is closed by rotating the locking handle 24, which causes the locking plate 26 to be locked in the locking groove 25.

[0035] Working principle: When using this device, the storage compartments 3 on the front and rear sides of the vending cart 1 contain bulk food items that do not need to be sold. Different bulk food items that need to be sold are then packaged into various food boxes 6. Customers slide the sliding handle 22 on the sliding hole 23, causing the sliding block 30 to slide on the sliding groove 28. Since the sliding block 30 and the baffle plate 31 are connected by the sliding rod 33, and the sliding rod 33 is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove 32, the baffle plate 31 is prevented from detaching from the sliding block 30. A spring 2 34 is sleeved between the sliding block 30 and the baffle plate 31, allowing the baffle plate 31 to descend to the outlet 21 and pop out to block the outlet 21. The rounded corners on the top side of the baffle plate 31 and the top side of the outlet 21 prevent the baffle plate 31 from getting stuck when sliding upwards, thus completing the process of taking out the bulk food items that need to be purchased. Then, the sliding handle 22 is released, and under the action of the spring 1 29, the baffle plate 31 slides down to block the outlet 28. 1. The box lid 20 is closed by rotating the locking handle 24, which causes the locking plate 26 to lock in the locking groove 25. After the material is taken out, it is weighed by the electronic scale 5 to complete the sale. Other goods can also be placed on the top platform 4 for sale. The vending cart 1 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate by rotating the rotating handle 8. Since the fourth bevel gear 19 and the first bevel gear 9 fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 7 mesh with the third bevel gear 18 on the second screw 17 and the second bevel gear 10 on the first screw 12 respectively, the second screw 17 and the first screw 12 are driven to rotate, which in turn drives the support frame 14 threadedly connected to the second screw 17 and the first screw 12 to rise and fall. When the support frame 14 falls, it supports the vending cart 1 and moves through the rollers 15 on the bottom side of the support frame 14. When it reaches the sales location, the support frame 14 is raised to store the rollers 15, thus completing the transfer of the vending cart 1 to different locations for sale.
