[0029] See Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses a modular vending vehicle 100. The modular vending vehicle 100 includes a movable seat 10, a vending counter 20, a shelf 30, and a canopy 40.
[0030] The vending cart is equipped with two movable seats 10, which serve as assembly bases. A sales counter 20 is positioned between the two movable seats 10, providing stable support and facilitating easy movement and positioning. The surface of the sales counter 20 is flush with the top of the movable seats 10, serving as the sales operation area. This ensures a flat and comfortable operating area and can be used to place merchandise, cash register equipment, and promotional materials, making it the core area for sales activities. Shelves 30 are located on both sides of the sales counter 20, adding extra storage space for more merchandise or auxiliary equipment. A canopy 40 is installed above the two movable seats 10, integrating the shelves 30 with the sales counter 20 to improve space utilization. The canopy 40 is also located at the top of the shelves 30, connecting them and stabilizing their installation, enhancing the overall structural stability, and improving the aesthetics of the vending cart.
[0031] The vending machine features detachable connections between the vending counter 20 and the movable seat 10, between the movable seat 10 and the shelf 30, and between the shelf 30 and the canopy 40. This allows the entire vending vehicle to be easily disassembled and assembled, facilitating handling and transportation. Furthermore, by replacing or adjusting individual modules, it can easily adapt to different sales needs and site conditions, offering high flexibility and configurability.
[0032] See Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the mobile seat 10 includes a vehicle frame 11, a storage platform 12 disposed on the vehicle frame 11, and wheels 13 disposed at the bottom of the four corners of the vehicle frame 11. The vehicle frame 11 is a rectangular three-dimensional design.
[0033] In this embodiment, the vehicle frame 11 serves as the basic structure of the entire mobile seat 10, supporting and connecting other components. Its overall design is a rectangular three-dimensional shape, which makes the structure more stable and maximizes space utilization. A shelf 12 is mounted on the vehicle frame 11, facilitating the placement of items of various sizes; the design of the shelf 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as adding dividers or drawers. The wheels 13 are located at the four corners of the vehicle frame 11, allowing the mobile seat 10 to move easily. These wheels 13 can be self-locking casters, improving the flexibility of the mobile seat 10 and allowing users to move it to a designated location as needed.
[0034] Furthermore, to achieve a detachable connection between the vending table 20 and the movable seat 10, the top frame of the vehicle frame 11 has a mounting groove 111 on its periphery, and mounting plates 21 are provided at both ends of the vending table 20. The upper end of the mounting plate 21 is bent to form a first hook 211 that matches the mounting groove 111. The vending table 20 is detachably mounted between the two movable seats 10 through the cooperation between the first hooks 211 at both ends and the mounting groove 111. Thus, while ensuring a stable connection between the vending table 20 and the movable seat 10 through the cooperation between the mounting groove 111 and the first hook 211, the vending table 20 can be quickly installed or disassembled, facilitating transportation, storage, or layout adjustment.
[0035] See Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, a baffle 50 is also included. A mounting plate 21 is also provided on the side of the baffle 50. Mounting grooves 111 are simultaneously provided on the adjacent sides of the sales counter 20 and the movable seat 10. The baffle 50 can be detachably connected to one side of the sales counter 20 through the cooperation between the mounting plate 21 and the mounting groove 111. Its main function is to cover the bottom space of the sales counter 20, increasing aesthetics and providing privacy. Furthermore, the baffle 50 can also be detachably connected to the movable seat 10 through the cooperation between the mounting plate 21 and the mounting groove 111, thus covering the internal space of the movable seat 10, achieving both aesthetic appeal and protection of the internal structure.
[0036] Furthermore, the top of the baffle 50 is higher than the countertop height of the sales counter 20, forming a guardrail at least on the user-facing side of the sales counter 20. Because the baffle 50 is higher than the countertop of the sales counter 20, it effectively forms a guardrail on the user-facing side of the sales counter 20. The guardrail prevents items from slipping off the sales counter 20, provides additional support or protection for the user, and prevents accidental access to equipment or items inside the sales counter 20 by the user or other personnel.
[0037] See Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the shelf 30 includes two sets of U-shaped frames 31 arranged opposite each other and a plurality of shelf panels 32 arranged vertically and horizontally in the two sets of U-shaped frames 31; wherein, the U-shaped frame 31 includes two support rods 311 arranged opposite each other and a crossbar 312 arranged between one end of the two support rods 311; the free end of the support rod 311 is inserted into the movable seat 10 and locked by a locking mechanism.
[0038] In this embodiment, the two sets of U-shaped frames 31 provide stable support for the shelves 30. Multiple shelves 32, spaced vertically apart within these two sets of U-shaped frames 31, allow for vertical stacking of items within a limited space, improving storage efficiency. Furthermore, a locking mechanism is used to ensure a secure connection between the support rod 311 and the movable base 10. The locking mechanism may be a mechanical device, such as a bolt, nut, or clip, used to fix the support rod 311 to a predetermined position on the movable base 10. With the locking mechanism, the user can easily install or remove the shelves 30 while ensuring its stability during use.
[0039] Furthermore, the shelf 32 is simultaneously clamped in the U-shaped grooves of the two sets of U-shaped frames 31. The two ends of each connecting side of the shelf 32 are rotatably connected to the support rods 311 on the same side of the two sets of U-shaped frames 31, so that when the two sets of U-shaped frames 31 shift in the length direction, the shelf 32 can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. Specifically: when the two sets of U-shaped frames 31 are pulled apart, the shelf 32 unfolds horizontally, forming a stable storage platform; when the two sets of U-shaped frames 31 are brought together, the shelf 32 rotates relative to the support rods 311 and folds, saving space.
[0040] Furthermore, the shelving unit 30, through its simple folding design, can quickly adjust its space occupancy to adapt to different usage scenarios. The folded shelving unit 30 is also smaller in size, facilitating transportation and storage.
[0041] See Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the canopy 40 is designed to include two long side panels 41 and two short side panels 42. These two sets of frames are connected and enclose each other, forming a rectangular canopy 40 structure. In this structure, the inner parts of the two short side panels 42 are equipped with second hooks 421. These second hooks 421 are designed to fit with the crossbars 312 in the U-shaped frame 31. Through this design, the canopy 40 can be hung on the shelves 30 at both ends by the interaction between the second hooks 421 and the crossbars 312. This not only ensures the stability of the canopy 40, but also provides a convenient installation method, allowing the canopy 40 to be easily hung on the shelves 30, enhancing the overall practicality and convenience.
[0042] It is worth noting that when the vending cart has two sets of shelves 30, and each set of shelves 30 includes two sets of U-shaped frames 31, the two short side panels 42 of the canopy 40 are respectively connected to the crossbars 312 in the U-shaped frames 31 on the outer sides of the two sets of shelves 30. The frame of the canopy 40 not only provides structural support but also serves as a platform for decoration or advertising display, further enhancing its practicality and aesthetics. For example, sales information or brand logos can be printed on the canopy 40 to attract customers' attention. In certain occasions, such as markets or outdoor events, a canopy can be further installed on the canopy 40 to serve as a sunshade, protecting goods from sun and rain and extending the sales time of the goods.
[0043] Furthermore, a hanging block is provided on the outer wall near the top of the support rod 311, and a hanging groove 410 adapted to the hanging block is provided on the inner side of the long side plate 41. The canopy 40 is hung on the shelves 30 at both ends through the cooperation between the hanging block and the hanging groove 410. Similar to the principle of the short side plate 42, the canopy 40 and the shelf 30 are detachably connected by hanging. The cooperation between the hanging block and the hanging groove 410 and the cooperation between the second hook 421 and the crossbar 312 can be used alone or in combination. When used in combination, the connection stability of the canopy 40 is further improved.
[0044] See Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the two long side plates and the two short side plates are detachably connected. The long side plate includes a first sub-side plate 411 and a second sub-side plate 412, which are hinged together.
[0045] In this embodiment, the aim is to further reduce the size of the canopy 40 by breaking it down into smaller parts, making it easier to carry and transport. The long side panel and the short side panel can be detachably connected by bolts, clips, or pins. This allows the canopy 40 to be quickly disassembled or reassembled as needed. Furthermore, the hinge between the first sub-side panel 411 and the second sub-side panel 412 in the long side panel allows the long side panel to be folded, further reducing its size and facilitating transportation and storage.
[0046] 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.
