Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food cart technology, and in particular to a multifunctional food cart. Background Technology

[0002] With China's economic development and social progress, China's industry has developed rapidly, especially the catering industry. In the development of the modern catering industry, mobile or semi-mobile street vendor carts are often used to deliver or sell food on the streets and alleys. Food is generally processed, prepared and sold using these carts.

[0003] Currently, street vendors often expose their ingredients to the environment to quickly attract customers. Due to the high density of people in markets, the air is often polluted, making exposed food extremely susceptible to contamination. In hot weather, this accelerates spoilage and makes it difficult to guarantee food safety. Furthermore, existing street vendor carts have limited space and are inconvenient to operate, especially when handling ingredients that need to be cooked on the spot, such as spicy hot pot and satay noodles. It is difficult to handle and place the ingredients that customers have already selected. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional food cart to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a multi-functional food cart, including an electric vehicle, with a food cart compartment mounted on the frame of the electric vehicle. The food cart compartment has an operating cavity, a display and preservation cabinet is located on the right side of the operating cavity, and an operating table is located on the left side. A heating furnace is located on the top of one side of the operating table, and one or more limiting holes are opened on the top of the other side, into which soup pots can be placed. A partition is provided between the display and preservation cabinet and the heating furnace. A lighting lamp and a shelf are provided on the top of the operating cavity. The food cart compartment is located on top of the operating cavity. The dining car has light sign cavities on both sides, each containing an LED advertising light sign. Storage cavities are located on either side of the top of the light sign cavities, each containing a retractable sunshade. A front opening plate is hinged to the top of the operating platform facing the electric vehicle. A window is located on the rear side of the dining car, with a hinged hinge plate at the bottom. A chain connects the hinge plate to the top of the window. A driver's compartment is located on the side of the dining car closest to the electric vehicle. The front of the driver's compartment has a hollow structure and a front crossbar.

[0006] Furthermore, a detachable extension plate is provided between the front crossbar and the front opening plate. Fixed posts are provided on both sides of the top of the front crossbar. A fixed plate is provided at the end of the detachable extension plate near the front of the vehicle. A fixing hole is provided on the fixed plate to be inserted and connected to the fixed post. The detachable extension plate has an L-shaped structure, and its end near the operating cavity is placed on top of the horizontally placed front opening plate.

[0007] Furthermore, when the front panel is placed horizontally, its bottom is supported by the armrest on the seat of the electric vehicle.

[0008] Furthermore, the shelf includes two left connecting rods and two right connecting rods fixed to the top plate of the operating cavity. An upper inclined rod is provided between the top of the left connecting rod and the bottom of the right connecting rod on the same side. A lower inclined rod is connected between the upper inclined rod and the bottom of the left connecting rod. A lower fixed rod is connected between the bottom of the two right connecting rods. An upper fixed rod is connected between the middle parts of the two upper inclined rods. A middle fixed rod is connected between the middle parts of the two lower inclined rods. A bottom fixed rod is connected between the bottom ends of the two lower inclined rods. A guest-side storage position for accommodating a vegetable basket is formed between the upper fixed rod and the lower fixed rod. A main-side storage position for accommodating a vegetable basket is formed between the middle fixed rod and the bottom fixed rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a locking plate is fixed to one side of the front opening plate, and the locking plate has a locking hole. A locking plate corresponding to the locking plate is provided on one side wall of the operating table, and the locking plate has a locking hole. The locking hole and the locking hole can be connected by bolt threads.

[0010] Furthermore, the display cabinet is equipped with a sliding glass door on the side away from the worktable.

[0011] Furthermore, the opening and closing panels of the dining car are connected to the side wall of the dining car via latches.

[0012] Furthermore, a gas cylinder base is fixed to the bottom of the rear side wall of the dining car, and the gas cylinder base is provided with fixing holes for fixing the bottom of the gas cylinder; two ear plates are provided on the side wall of the dining car above the gas cylinder base, and the ear plates are connected to U-shaped plates for fixing the gas cylinder by bolts.

[0013] Furthermore, buffer pads are provided at the contact points between the U-shaped plate, the gas cylinder base, and the side wall of the food cart and the gas cylinder, and the buffer pads are made of rubber.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following advantages: This utility model, through the display and preservation cabinet set for customers, the operating table set for merchants, the shelf set on top of the display and preservation cabinet and the operating table for easy placement of vegetable baskets, and the setting of customer-side storage positions and merchant-side storage positions on the shelf, makes it convenient for customers to take vegetable baskets and select ingredients refrigerated and preserved by the display and preservation cabinet, and also makes it convenient for merchants to take and process the ingredients selected by customers. It solves the problem of handling and placing the ingredients already selected by customers. The spatial layout of the food cart is convenient for both customer operation and merchant operation.

[0016] The hinged panel connects to the food cart via hinges, chains, and latches, allowing the windows to be opened and closed. Opening the panel increases the food cart's storage and operating space. The combination of the food cart's front crossbar, the vertically / horizontally adjustable front panel, and the detachable extension panel further increases the food cart's storage and operating space, making operation more convenient. This solves the problem of limited usable area and small operating space in existing food carts.

[0017] This utility model can securely fix the gas cylinder by using a combination of a gas cylinder base, ear plate, U-shaped plate and bolts, thus solving the safety hazards such as collision leakage and falling off caused by the existing technology of hanging gas cylinders on hooks in catering carts.
