[0006] A smart food weighing system includes a base, a support, and a protective cover. The base supports a food tray. The support includes a first support plate, a second support plate, and a telescopic mechanism. The first support plate is disposed on one side of the base. The telescopic mechanism is disposed on the first support plate. The second support plate is disposed above the first support plate and connected to the telescopic mechanism. The second support plate moves vertically relative to the first support plate under the action of the telescopic mechanism. The protective cover is disposed on the second support plate and is located above the base, and is used to cover the food tray.

[0007] A further technical solution is: a first mounting groove is provided on the upper surface of the first support plate; the first mounting groove extends from the upper end of the first support plate to the lower end of the first support plate; the telescopic mechanism is disposed in the first mounting groove.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the protective cover is made of transparent material.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] The second support plate is moved upwards via a telescopic mechanism, which in turn moves the protective cover on the second support plate upwards. On one hand, when cleaning or serving food, the protective cover can be opened without flipping it over, greatly improving operational convenience and saving space. On the other hand, staff can easily adjust the height of the protective cover according to the height of the food tray, thus improving the practicality of the smart scale system. Simultaneously, the protective cover better covers the food tray, further reducing the risk of contamination from sneezing or droplets during customer pickup, thus improving the restaurant's hygiene standards.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example 1: This example provides a smart scale system for food pickup, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a base 1, a support 2, and a protective cover 3. The base 1 is used to support a food tray. The support 2 includes a first support plate 21, a second support plate 22, and a telescopic mechanism 23. The first support plate 21 is disposed on one side of the base 1. The telescopic mechanism 23 is disposed on the first support plate 21. The second support plate 22 is disposed above the first support plate 21 and is connected to the telescopic mechanism 23. The second support plate 22 is used to move up and down relative to the first support plate 21 under the action of the telescopic mechanism 23. The protective cover 3 is disposed on the second support plate 22 and is located above the base 1. The protective cover 3 is used to cover the food tray.

[0020] For example, in the implementation process, the base 1 is used to support the food tray to ensure that the food tray can be stably placed on the base 1 for customers to take the food.

[0021] The bracket 2 includes a first support plate 21, a second support plate 22, and a telescopic mechanism 23. The first support plate 21 is connected to one side of the base 1 by welding, screwing, or other methods. The telescopic mechanism 23 can be an electric telescopic rod, a hydraulic rod, or other form of telescopic device, and is connected to the first support plate 21 by welding, screwing, or snap-fitting. The second support plate 22 is located above the first support plate 21 and is connected to the telescopic mechanism 23 by welding, screwing, or other methods. Driven by the telescopic mechanism 23, the second support plate 22 can move vertically closer to or further away from the first support plate 21, thereby adjusting the height of the second support plate 22.

[0022] The protective cover 3 is located above the base 1 and is used to shield the food tray. This reduces the risk of contamination from sneezing, droplets, etc., during customer food collection, thereby improving the restaurant's hygiene standards.

[0023] The protective cover 3 is connected to the second support plate 22 by means of screws, welding, or snap-fit. In use, the second support plate 22 can be moved upwards via the telescopic mechanism 23, thereby moving the protective cover 3 upwards as well. On one hand, when cleaning or serving food, the protective cover 3 can be opened without flipping it, greatly improving operational convenience and saving space. On the other hand, it allows staff to adjust the height of the protective cover 3 according to the height of the food tray, thus improving the practicality of the smart scale system. Simultaneously, the protective cover 3 better covers the food tray, further reducing the risk of contamination from sneezing or droplets during food collection, thus improving the restaurant's hygiene standards.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1 above, as follows Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end face of the first support plate 21 is provided with a first mounting groove 4; the first mounting groove 4 extends from the upper end of the first support plate 21 to the lower end of the first support plate 21; the telescopic mechanism 23 is disposed in the first mounting groove 4.

[0025] For example, during implementation, a first mounting groove 4 is formed on the upper surface of the first support plate 21, extending from the upper end to the lower end of the first support plate 21. A telescopic mechanism 23 is installed within the first mounting groove 4. On one hand, by embedding the telescopic mechanism 23 within the first mounting groove 4, the structure of the bracket 2 becomes more compact, reducing the occupancy of external space. This makes the smart scale system for food pickup more aesthetically pleasing to modern restaurants, enhancing the customer's dining experience. On the other hand, the telescopic mechanism 23 is fixed within the first mounting groove 4, reducing the risk of loosening or damage caused by external factors (such as collisions, vibrations, etc.), thereby improving the stability of the smart scale system for food pickup.

[0026] Example 3: Based on Example 1 above, in this example, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 3 is made of transparent material.

[0027] For example, in implementation, the protective cover 3 is made of transparent materials such as glass or transparent plastics (e.g., polycarbonate, acrylic, etc.). This is to reduce the risk of the protective cover 3 obstructing the customer's view and to make it easier for the customer to identify the dishes on the food tray.
