Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0018] Example 1:

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3The following technical solution is provided, specifically disclosing: a protective box 1, a first rotating rod 15 movably connected to the lower end of the inner surface of the protective box 1, a top plate 16 fixedly connected to the middle end of the outer surface of the first rotating rod 15, a first gear 10 fixedly connected to the front of the first rotating rod 15, a motor 9 fixedly connected to the front of the protective box 1, a second gear 11 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 9, and the second gear 11 meshing with the first gear 10; sliding grooves 17 are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the protective box 1, sliders 2 are slidably connected to the inner surface of the sliding grooves 17, a tray body 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliders 2, and a plurality of equidistantly distributed placement slots 13 are provided on the top of the tray body 14 for placing food. Within the slot 13, the protective box 1 and the cover plate 8 form a closed structure, thus protecting the food. When the food needs to be retrieved, the motor 9 is controlled to rotate via the control switch 6. When the motor 9 rotates, it drives the second gear 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 10 to rotate. With the cooperation of the single-sided toothed synchronous belt, the second gear 11 and the first gear 10 can drive the second rotating rod 3 to rotate, thereby automatically opening the two covers 8. During this process, the first gear 10 drives the first rotating rod 15 to rotate, thereby causing the top plate 16 to deflect. With the cooperation of the slide 17 and the slider 2, the tray body 14 can automatically move upward, making it easier for people to retrieve the food located in the protective box 1.

[0020] Example 2:

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The following technical solution is provided, specifically: support legs 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective box 1 on all four sides, and a battery box 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front of the protective box 1. A charging socket 7 is opened at the upper end of the inner surface of the battery box 5, and a control switch 6 is fixedly connected to the left end of the front of the battery box 5. A storage battery 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the battery box 5. The left and right ends of the top of the battery box 5 are movably connected to the cover plate 8 through hinges, and a second rotating rod 3 is fixedly connected to the front of the cover plate 8. The second rotating rod 3 located at the left end is connected to the first gear 10 through a single-sided toothed synchronous belt, and the second rotating rod 3 located at the right end is connected to the second gear 11 through a single-sided toothed synchronous belt. A reserved hole is opened at the connection between the battery box 5 and the single-sided toothed synchronous belt.

[0022] The working principle of this application is as follows: Food is placed in the placement slot 13, and the protective box 1 and the cover plate 8 can form a closed structure to protect the food. When the food needs to be taken out, the motor 9 is controlled to rotate by the control switch 6. When the motor 9 rotates, it drives the second gear 11 to rotate. When the second gear 11 rotates, it drives the first gear 10 to rotate. The second gear 11 and the first gear 10 can drive the second rotating rod 3 to rotate under the cooperation of the single-sided toothed synchronous belt, so that the two covers 8 can be opened automatically. During this process, the first gear 10 will drive the first rotating rod 15 to rotate, thereby driving the top plate 16 to deflect. With the cooperation of the slide 17 and the slider 2, the tray body 14 can be moved upward automatically, so that people can take out the food located in the protective box 1. It should be noted that the protective box 1, the battery box 5 and the cover plate 8 are all made of polymethyl methacrylate, so that people can easily observe the food inside the protective box 1 when the cover plate 8 is closed.

[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
