[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, this application proposes a multi-functional extended buffet cart 100. The multi-functional extended buffet cart 100 includes a main frame 10 and replaceable components 20. Wherein:

[0031] The main frame 10 is the main support structure of the multi-functional extended buffet cart 100. It is a rectangular three-dimensional frame that ensures the stability and load-bearing capacity of the buffet cart. Specifically, the main frame 10 includes four legs 11 and several crossbeams. The four legs 11, when connected in sequence, form a rectangle, providing a support foundation. The crossbeams include a first crossbeam 12 and a second crossbeam 13, which are connected between the legs 11 at different distances to improve the stability of the frame. The first crossbeam 12 is located between two legs 11 with a longer relative distance, which can increase the stability of the buffet cart in the length direction; the second crossbeam 13 is located between two legs 11 with a shorter relative distance, which can enhance the support in the width direction of the buffet cart.

[0032] In a further embodiment, wheels 14 can be installed at the bottom of the four support legs 11 to facilitate the movement of the buffet cart. These wheels 14 can be omnidirectional wheels with self-locking function. The top of the main frame 10 has a placement area for food ingredients; this placement area can specifically be formed between the two first crossbeams 12 at the top. For example, the opposite edges of the two first crossbeams 12 at the top have supporting steps, and the placement area can be used to place containers containing food. The two ends of the containers are respectively attached to the supporting steps on both sides to ensure the stability of the containers.

[0033] The replaceable component 20 is vertically installed in the top central area of ​​the main frame 10. It includes a functional component 21 and two connecting arms 22 connected to the functional component 21. The functional component 21 can be various types of equipment or tools to meet different food preservation and display needs. The two connecting arms 22 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two connecting arms 22 are detachably connected to the two second crossbeams 13 at the top of the main frame, thereby ensuring the stability and easy replacement of the replaceable component 20 through the connecting arms 22.

[0034] Furthermore, with a series of replaceable components 20, the technical solution of this application allows users to quickly expand and switch the functions of the bus without changing the layout of the main frame 10 by replacing the replaceable components 20. Thus, the bus can quickly adapt to different operating scenarios and passenger needs without requiring large-scale modifications to the vehicle body, thereby improving flexibility.

[0035] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the second crossbeam 13 has a built-in connector box 15, and the end of the connecting arm 22 is fitted with a connector 23 that matches the connector box 15. The cooperation between the connector 23 and the connector box 15 forms a detachable connection between the connecting arm 22 and the main frame 10. This simplifies the installation process and makes it more convenient and quick to replace or adjust the replaceable parts 20.

[0036] The plug-in box 15 has a plug-in cavity 151, and a locking hole 152 communicating with the plug-in cavity 151 is provided on the side wall of the plug-in box 15. The plug-in connector 23 is provided with a locking structure, which includes an elastic element (not shown in the figure), an unlocking key 231, and a locking pin 232. The unlocking key 231 is connected to the locking pin 232 and moves synchronously. Under the action of the elastic element, the unlocking key 231 always remains in a state of protruding through the connecting arm 22. The locking pin 232 matches the locking hole 152. After the plug-in connector 23 is inserted into the plug-in cavity 151, it can be inserted into the locking hole 152 under the drive of the elastic element. Furthermore, the assembly process between the plug-in connector 23 and the plug-in box 15 is as follows:

[0037] When connector 23 needs to be inserted into connector box 15, the user aligns connector 23 with connector cavity 151 and inserts it forcefully. During insertion, locking pin 232 gradually approaches locking socket 152 under the drive of elastic element. When locking pin 232 is aligned with locking socket 152, elastic element pushes locking pin 232 smoothly into locking socket 152, thus achieving a secure connection between connector 23 and connector box 15. When connector 23 needs to be removed, the user simply presses unlock button 231, which pulls locking pin 232 out of locking socket 152, releasing the connection between connector 23 and connector box 15. At this time, the user can easily pull connector 23 out of connector cavity 151.

[0038] See Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second crossbeam 13 has a through hole corresponding to the plug box 15 for the plug 23 to pass through, and a cover plate 133 is provided at the through hole. The cover plate 133 is rotatably connected to the second crossbeam 13 by a torsion spring so that the cover plate 133 always has the tendency to rotate upward to cover the through hole.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cover plate 133 at the perforation is used to cover the perforation when the connector 23 is not in use, preventing dust, moisture, or other debris from entering the connector box 15, thereby protecting the connector box 15 and its internal components. When the connector 23 needs to be inserted, the cover plate 133 can be pressed against and driven to rotate downwards, displacing it from the perforation position, thus allowing the connector 23 to pass through the perforation and enter the connector box 15. When the connector 23 is not inserted, the cover plate 133 is pushed upwards by a torsion spring, automatically covering the perforation.

[0040] Therefore, the design of the cover plate 133 not only improves the protection performance of the junction box 15, but also ensures the convenience of the insertion process.

[0041] See Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, an electrical female connector is provided in the insertion cavity 151, and the insertion connector 23 also includes an electrical male connector 233 corresponding to the electrical female connector. The electrical female connector and the electrical male connector 233 are used to make electrical connections while the insertion connector 23 is inserted into the insertion cavity 151 to form a mechanical connection.

[0042] In this embodiment, the aim is to simultaneously establish a mechanical connection and an electrical connection between the connector 23 and the junction box 15. Typically, both the male and female electrical connectors contain multiple metal contacts. When the male and female electrical connectors are in full contact, these metal contacts form an electrical connection, which can be used to transmit power. This further allows for the supply of power to the functional component 21 if it is an electrical device.

[0043] Furthermore, the main frame 10 has wires laid inside its crossbeams to connect to electrical female connectors, and a junction box 16 connected to these wires is also provided on the main frame 10. The junction box 16 contains a power plug for connecting to an external power source to provide power. When the external power source is connected to the junction box 16 via the power plug, power begins to be transmitted through the wires to each electrical female connector. When the connector 23 is inserted into the connector cavity 151, its male connector 233 forms an electrical connection with the female connector, thereby transmitting power to the required functional frame.

[0044] The wiring network within the main frame 10 can distribute power to different electrical connectors as needed. Furthermore, the wiring network within the main frame 10 allows for the installation of electrical sockets on the main frame 10, enabling electrical devices mounted on the main frame 10 to connect to an external power source. For example, the placement area can be used to house a cooking module for food preparation; the cooking module directly obtains power through the electrical sockets, ensuring efficient operation.

[0045] See Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the functional component 21 includes a mounting rod 241 and a droplet baffle 242. The mounting rod 241 is connected to one end of the two connecting arms 22 away from the second crossbeam 13, and the droplet baffle 242 is disposed on the mounting rod 241 to form a barrier between the user and the placement area.

[0046] In this embodiment, the functional component 21, through the design of the droplet baffle 242, expands the hygiene and safety functions of the bread cart. It effectively prevents droplets from entering the placement area, ensuring the hygiene of the food.

[0047] Understandably, when a user cooks or retrieves ingredients from the buffet cart, they are positioned to one side of the cart, which is the user side. Droplets generated during this process tend to be concentrated on this user side. Therefore, the droplet baffle 242 in this application is positioned as close to the user side as possible, supported by two connecting arms 22 and a mounting rod 241. This ensures the droplet baffle 242 is positioned above the placement area and close to the user side, thereby improving its isolation effect.

[0048] The droplet shield 242 is made of transparent or semi-transparent materials, such as acrylic or glass. The transparent design provides protection while offering users a wider field of vision, ensuring it does not obstruct the user's view of the food in the designated area.

[0049] Furthermore, the droplet baffle 242 and the mounting rod 241 are rotatably connected, specifically via a rotary hinge or damping hinge, or other adjustable-angle hinge devices. This allows the user to adjust the angle of the droplet baffle 242 to achieve the optimal protective position as needed.

[0050] See Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the functional component 21 includes a lamp holder 25 and a heat-insulating lamp (within the lamp holder 25, not shown in the figure). The lamp holder 25 is disposed at one end of the two connecting arms 22 away from the second crossbeam 13, and the heat-insulating lamp is disposed on the lamp holder 25 for illuminating the placement area.

[0051] In this embodiment, the functional component 21, through the design of the heat-preserving lamp, realizes the functional expansion of the flatbread cart in terms of food heat preservation, which is suitable for effectively maintaining the temperature of food during cold seasons or long-distance transportation, and improving the dining experience of passengers.

[0052] The lamp holder 25 serves as the support structure for the heat-preserving lamp, with both ends connected to two connecting arms 22 to form a stable mounting platform. A removable rechargeable battery pack can be further installed within the lamp holder 25 to power the heat-preserving lamp. Furthermore, the heat-preserving lamp can be an infrared heating lamp or an LED heating lamp, providing uniform heat distribution and suitable light intensity to ensure food maintains a suitable temperature.

[0053] It is understandable that the above-mentioned droplet baffle 242 and heat lamp functional design are only part of the design of the implementation scheme of this application. In some other schemes, the functional component 21 can also be designed as an advertising display module and a decorative beautification module to meet the diverse needs in operation and further improve service quality and user satisfaction.

[0054] See Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the second crossbeam 13 includes two sub-beams 131, which are hinged together, and the ends of the two sub-beams 131 are respectively pivotally connected to adjacent support legs 11; the plug box 15 is disposed on one of the sub-beams 131 near the hinge between the two sub-beams 131.

[0055] In this embodiment, the hinged and pivotal design of the sub-beams 131 in the second crossbeam 13 allows the second crossbeam 13 to switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. In the folded state, the two sub-beams 131 rotate around the hinge point, causing the second crossbeam 13 to fold and reducing the area occupied by the main frame. In the unfolded state, the two sub-beams 131 are arranged in a straight line, forming a complete second crossbeam 13 that supports the short side of the main frame. The folding function of the second crossbeam 13 allows the main frame to be quickly adjusted in size, facilitating transportation, storage, or adaptation to different display needs.

[0056] Furthermore, the crossbeam has mounting slots (not shown in the attached diagram) on its periphery, and the Buffet also includes a baffle (not shown in the attached diagram), which is attached to the crossbeam to cover the bottom space below the display stand.

[0057] In this embodiment, the mounting groove can be located on the inner side of the crossbeam. By creating mounting grooves around the crossbeam and attaching baffles, the space beneath the display stand can be concealed, enhancing both the aesthetics and practicality of the display stand. The baffles can be made of wood, metal, plastic, or other lightweight materials, balancing aesthetics and practicality. Hooks or connectors adapted to the mounting grooves are provided on the baffles for easy and quick attachment or removal.

[0058] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of this application. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings under the overall concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
