Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Example 1: As Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient airline catering rapid distribution tool, including a rapid distribution component 1, a movable component 3 at the bottom of the rapid distribution component 1, and a buffer component 2 on the outer side of the rapid distribution component 1. The rapid distribution component 1 includes a catering cart 101, and the buffer component 2 includes multiple first buffer dampers 201. One end of each first buffer damper 201 is provided with a soft pad 203. The first buffer dampers 201 are located on the side of the catering cart 101, and multiple buffer springs 202 are distributed on the side of the catering cart 101. The buffer springs 202 are located on the side of the first buffer dampers 201 and are connected to the side of the soft pad 203. A slide rail 111 is symmetrically installed on one end of the catering cart 101. The interior has two sliding door panels 112. Multiple second buffer dampers 204 are distributed on the sides of the door panels 112. One end of the second buffer damper 204 is connected to a protective pad 205. The inner side of the food cart 101 has symmetrically distributed slide grooves 108. A slider 107 is installed inside the slide groove 108. A partition frame 105 is installed on the side of the slider 107. A partition plate 106 is installed inside the partition frame 105. A heater 109 is installed on the top of the food cart 101. Heating tubes 110 are connected to both ends of the heater 109. The heating tubes 110 are located inside the food cart 101. A beverage placement slot 102 is installed on the top of the food cart 101. A disposable paper cup holder 103 is installed on the side of the beverage placement slot 102. A handle 104 is installed on the top of the food cart 101.

[0024] In this embodiment, by pulling the partition frame 105, the slider 107 slides inside the slide groove 108, facilitating the removal of the partition frame 105 from the interior of the food cart 101. This allows operators to place food on the partition plates 106. The partition frame 105 has multiple limiting plates distributed inside, allowing for adjustment of the number and position of the partition plates 106 according to the size of the food, thus maximizing the use of the internal space. The beverage placement slot 102 facilitates the placement of beverages, and the disposable paper cup holder 103 facilitates the placement of disposable paper cups, making operation easier and improving convenience. The movable door panel 112, moving within the slide rail 111, facilitates the retrieval of food. The side of the door panel 112 has... Multiple second buffer dampers 204 are provided, with a protective pad 205 at one end of each second buffer damper 204. The second buffer dampers 204, together with the protective pad 205, help to provide a buffering effect, preventing the door panel 112 from directly colliding with the passenger. At the same time, multiple first buffer dampers 201 and buffer springs 202 are distributed on the side of the dining car 101, which help to provide a buffering effect, effectively buffering the impact force, preventing direct collision with the passenger and causing injury, thus helping to ensure the safety of the passenger. The soft pad 203 provides a soft touch. By controlling the heater 109 to work, the heating tube 110 releases heat evenly, which helps to heat the food inside the dining car 101 and ensure the temperature of the food.

[0025] Example 2: As Figures 1-6 As shown, the movable component 3 includes a support base 301, a hydraulic telescopic column 303 is installed inside the support base 301, a movable wheel 304 is connected to the output end of the hydraulic telescopic column 303, a bottom support plate 302 is installed at the bottom of the support base 301, guide plates 305 are installed on both sides of the movable wheel 304, a guide groove is opened on the side of the support base 301, and the guide plate 305 is movably installed inside the guide groove.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the rapid distribution component 1 is needed, the hydraulic telescopic column 303 is extended synchronously to allow the moving wheel 304 to contact the ground, which facilitates the movement of the rapid distribution component 1 and enables rapid distribution of food and beverages. When it is not needed, the hydraulic telescopic column 303 is retracted synchronously to allow the moving wheel 304 to be stored inside the support base 301, causing the bottom support plate 302 to contact the ground. The bottom of the bottom support plate 302 has multiple friction pads, which increases the friction with the ground and ensures the stability of the placement. This prevents the rapid distribution component 1 from shifting due to aircraft shaking, thus fixing the rapid distribution component 1 in the designated position in the cabin. The guide plates 305 on both sides of the moving wheel 304 move inside the guide groove, which helps to improve the stability of the moving wheel 304 during lifting and lowering.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, firstly, the partition frame 105 is pulled, causing the slider 107 to slide inside the slide groove 108. This facilitates moving the partition frame 105 out of the food cart 101, allowing operators to place food on the partition plates 106. Multiple limiting plates are distributed inside the partition frame 105, allowing adjustment of the number and position of the partition plates 106 according to the size of the food. Simultaneously, the heater 109 is controlled to operate, ensuring the heating tube 110 releases heat evenly, thus heating the food inside the food cart 101 and maintaining its temperature. The beverage placement slot 102 facilitates placing beverages, and the disposable paper cup holder 103 facilitates placing disposable paper cups, improving operational convenience. The movable door panel 112, moving inside the slide rail 111, facilitates food retrieval. Multiple second buffer dampers 204 are distributed on the side of the door panel 112. A protective pad 205 is provided at one end of the device 204. The second buffer damper 204, together with the protective pad 205, helps to provide a buffering effect, preventing the door panel 112 from directly colliding with the passenger. At the same time, multiple first buffer dampers 201 and buffer springs 202 are distributed on the side of the food cart 101, which helps to provide a buffering effect, effectively buffering the impact force and preventing direct collision with the passenger and causing injury. When the quick distribution component 1 is needed, the hydraulic telescopic column 303 is extended synchronously by controlling it, so that the moving wheel 304 contacts the ground, which helps to move the quick distribution component 1 and facilitates the quick distribution of food. When it is not needed, the hydraulic telescopic column 303 is retracted synchronously by controlling it, so that the moving wheel 304 is stored inside the support base 301, causing the bottom support plate 302 to contact the ground. Multiple friction pads are distributed on the bottom of the bottom support plate 302, which helps to increase the friction with the ground, thereby ensuring the stability of the placement.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
