[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a canopy structure for an electric food cart includes a food cart body 1 and a canopy. The canopy is installed on the side wall of the food cart body 1. The canopy includes a roller 2, a curtain 3, and a pull shaft 4. The curtain 3 is wound around the roller 2. The roller 2 is a common type of roller. A torsion spring is installed inside the roller 2. After the pull shaft 4 is released, the curtain 3 will automatically roll back into the roller 2. The pull shaft 4 is fixedly installed at one end of the curtain 3. Support rods 5 are rotatably connected to both ends of the pull shaft 4.

[0022] The support rod 5 is internally equipped with a telescopic assembly, which includes an internal rod 10, a rotating rod 11, and a locking rod 12. The support rod 5 is hollow with an open bottom. The internal rod 10 is inserted into the bottom of the support rod 5. One end of the rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support rod 5, and the locking rod 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod 11. The side wall of the support rod 5 has a rotating groove 13, in which the locking rod 12 is located. The side wall of the internal rod 10 has several slots 14, the shape of which is the same as the shape of the rotating groove 13. Similarly, the locking lever 12 extends into the locking slot 14. One end of the locking lever 12 that extends into the locking slot 14 is a magnet, and the inner rod 10 is made of magnetic metal. When the operator rotates the rotating rod 11, the locking lever 12 will leave the locking slot 14 and enter the through slot 15. Then the operator can stretch the inner rod 10. After stretching the inner rod 10 to a suitable height, the locking lever 12 can be rotated back into the corresponding locking slot 14. Under the action of magnetic force, the distance between the inner rod 10 and the support rod 5 can be locked, thereby ensuring the support effect.

[0023] A common passageway 15 connects several card slots 14. Both the rotating groove 13 and the card slots 14 are arc-shaped, with the end away from the passageway 15 having an upward-curving design. The upward-curving design causes the card rod 12 and the rotating rod 11 entering the card slot 14 to be in an inclined state, which can support the curtain 3 at an angle. Moreover, due to the magnetic effect, the support effect is further improved.

[0024] Two fixing blocks 6 are installed on the side wall of the food cart. The side wall of the fixing block 6 is fitted with an inclined slot 7. The support rod 5 is inserted into the inclined slot 7. Since the pull shaft 4 will be pulled to a tight position by the roller 2, the support rod 5 will be in an inclined state. The inclined slot 7 can ensure that the support rod 5 is in a state that is easy to remove. The side wall of the fixing block 6 is provided with a strap 9. One end of the strap 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing block 6, and the other end is connected to the other side wall of the fixing block 6 by Velcro. The side wall of the support rod 5 abuts against the inside of the strap 9. The strap 9 can fix the support rod 5 and the internal rod 10, thereby ensuring the storage state of the curtain 3.

[0025] Two fixed seats 8 are installed on one side of the food cart body 1. The two fixed seats 8 are located at both ends of the pull shaft 4. The distance between the two fixed seats 8 is the same as the distance between the two support rods 5. The fixed seats 8 are open at the top. The opening size of the fixed seats 8 is the same as the size of the internal rod 10. The internal rod 10 of fixed height is inserted into the fixed seat 8 to ensure that the curtain 3 will not be blown away by the wind, thus stably shading the customers.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
