[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a weighing and settlement station for a self-service canteen.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A weighing and payment counter for a self-service cafeteria includes:

[0007] Table body;

[0008] A weighing device is installed on the table.

[0009] An opening is formed in the table body;

[0010] A collection box is installed on the table, with the collection box facing the opening;

[0011] Clean the structure and install it on the table body;

[0012] The control structure is located on the table.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the cleaning structure includes:

[0014] The movable frame is positioned above the table body;

[0015] Two guide blocks are fixed at both ends of the movable frame, respectively;

[0016] Both guide rods are fixed to the table body, and the two guide blocks are slidably sleeved on the two guide rods respectively;

[0017] A sliding plate is slidably positioned within the movable frame;

[0018] A scraper strip is disposed on the bottom surface of the sliding plate, and the scraper strip is made of rubber material.

[0019] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the control structure includes:

[0020] Both connecting rods are fixed to the table body;

[0021] Two fixing plates are respectively fixed to the ends of the two connecting rods away from the table body, and both fixing plates are provided with inclined surfaces;

[0022] Two push rods are fixed on both sides of the sliding plate, and the two push rods are respectively positioned opposite the two fixed plates.

[0023] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the inner surface of the movable frame and the side surface of the sliding plate are fitted together.

[0024] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a handle is fixed to the top surface of the sliding plate.

[0025] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the collection box is detachably mounted on the table.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] 1. The cleaning structure of this weighing and settlement station, through the cooperation of the moving frame and the sliding plate, can easily scrape off the food and soup scattered on the surface of the weighing device and push them into the preset opening, and finally fall into the collection box. This process is not only simple to operate, but also efficient and fast, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the staff and improves the overall operational efficiency of the canteen. At the same time, the scraper is made of rubber material, which not only ensures a tight fit with the weighing device, but also avoids damage to the weighing device, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0028] 2. The cleaning structure also cleverly incorporates a mechanism for the interaction between the top rod and the inclined surface of the fixed plate. When the moving frame moves to one end of the table, the top rod presses against the inclined surface, causing the sliding plate to be in a lower position, and the scraper makes close contact with the weighing device for cleaning. When the moving frame moves to the other end, another top rod contacts the inclined surface and drives the sliding plate to move upward, separating the scraper from the weighing device. This design not only ensures effective contact of the scraper during the cleaning process but also avoids interference with the weighing device during the resetting process, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning effect.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a weighing and settlement counter for a self-service canteen includes a table body 1; a weighing device 2 installed on the table body 1; an opening 3 formed on the table body 1; and a collection box 4 set on the table body 1, with the collection box 4 facing the opening 3, and the collection box 4 is detachably set on the table body 1.

[0036] The weighing and settlement counter for the self-service canteen also includes a cleaning structure, which is set on the table body 1. The cleaning structure includes: a movable frame 51, placed above the table body 1; two guide blocks 52, respectively fixed to both ends of the movable frame 51; two guide rods 53, both fixed to the table body 1, with the two guide blocks 52 slidably fitted onto the two guide rods 53; and a sliding plate 54, slidably disposed inside the movable frame 51, with the inner surface of the movable frame 51 and the side surface of the sliding plate 54 fitting together. A handle is fixed to the top surface of the sliding plate 54. The scraper 55 is set on the bottom surface of the sliding plate 54. The scraper 55 is made of rubber material. When cleaning, the staff pulls the handle on the sliding plate 54 to move the sliding plate 54 and the moving frame 51. During the movement of the sliding plate 54, the scraper 55 can scrape off the food and soup scattered on the surface of the weighing device 2 and push the food and soup into the opening 3. Furthermore, the food and soup will fall into the collection box 4 through the opening 3, thus playing a role in cleaning the weighing device 2.

[0037] The weighing and settlement station for the self-service canteen also includes a control structure, which is set on the table body 1. The control structure includes: two connecting rods 61, both fixed to the table body 1; two fixing plates 62, respectively fixed to the ends of the two connecting rods 61 away from the table body 1, and both fixing plates 62 are provided with inclined surfaces; and two top rods 63, respectively fixed to both sides of the sliding plate 54. The two top rods 63 are respectively set directly opposite the two fixing plates 62. When the moving frame 51 moves to the other end of the table body 1, the other top rod 63 on the sliding plate 54 will contact the inclined surface of the other fixing plate 62 and move under the action of the inclined surface, causing the top rod 63 to move upward. When the top rod 63 moves upward, it can drive the sliding plate 54 to move upward, so that the scraper 55 is separated from the weighing device 2. In this case, the scraper 55 will not contact the weighing device 2 during the reset process.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model:

[0039] The weighing and settlement counter for a self-service canteen proposed in this utility model allows staff to clean up spilled food and soup from the weighing device 2 using a cleaning structure. Specifically, in the initial state, the moving frame 51 is located at one end of the table body 1. At this time, one of the top rods 63 is pressed against the inclined surface of the fixed plate 62 directly opposite it. Under the action of this inclined surface, the sliding plate 54 is in a lower position, and the scraper 55 is in contact with the surface of the weighing device 2. When cleaning, the staff pulls the handle on the sliding plate 54 to move the sliding plate 54. 4. When the sliding plate 54 moves with the moving frame 51, the scraper 55 on it can scrape off the food and soup scattered on the surface of the weighing device 2 and push the food and soup into the opening 3. Furthermore, the food and soup will fall into the collection box 4 through the opening 3, thus cleaning the weighing device 2. It is worth noting that the scraper 55 is made of rubber material, which not only ensures a tight fit between the scraper 55 and the weighing device 2, but also prevents the scraper 55 from damaging the weighing device 2.

[0040] When the moving frame 51 moves to the other end of the table body 1, another top rod 63 on the sliding plate 54 will contact the inclined surface of another fixed plate 62 and move under the action of the inclined surface, causing the top rod 63 to move upward. When the top rod 63 moves upward, it can drive the sliding plate 54 to move upward, so that the scraper 55 separates from the weighing device 2. In this case, the scraper 55 will not contact the weighing device 2 during the reset process. Only when the scraper 55 moves towards the opening 3 can the scraper 55 push the food and soup into the opening 3. This design can ensure the cleaning effect of the scraper 55 on the weighing device 2.

[0041] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
