Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food sorting equipment, and more specifically, to a canteen food distribution and sorting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With people's increasing demands for food safety and hygiene, canteens, as centralized meal service locations, generally use specialized food distribution and sorting equipment for food distribution and sorting. In the food distribution and sorting process in canteens, the distribution and sorting boxes are key containers for the temporary storage and transfer of food, and their hygiene is of paramount importance.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN218191129U, which discloses a food delivery and sorting device. This device addresses the problem that when receiving boxes for food are placed on a conveyor belt, the lack of a restraint mechanism leads to instability during transport, causing frequent tipping and movement. This severely impacts subsequent delivery and sorting operations, and sometimes the boxes even fall off the conveyor belt, causing serious damage to the food. The device uses a triangular plate and connecting holes to secure the receiving boxes, preventing them from shifting during transport and hindering normal delivery and sorting. Furthermore, the moving plate and rod can automatically close the restraint mechanism based on the actual working conditions, minimizing disruption to normal transport.

[0004] Food distribution and sorting equipment is used in canteens to distribute and sort food ingredients. However, over long-term use, bacteria and dirt can easily accumulate in the distribution and sorting boxes. It is difficult to ensure that the cleaning is comprehensive and thorough, and stains and food residues are easily left behind. At the same time, bacteria and viruses can easily grow. The lack of effective cleaning and disinfection methods makes the distribution and sorting boxes a source of secondary contamination of food ingredients, affecting the quality and safety of the food.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] By setting up a cleaning mechanism, when the telescopic cylinder is activated to lower the cleaning component and the cleaning sponge plate contacts the delivery and sorting box, the fixing spring automatically and elastically extends and retracts according to the unevenness of the delivery and sorting box surface and the resistance encountered during cleaning. This allows the cleaning sponge plate to fit tightly against every part of the delivery and sorting box surface, thoroughly cleaning both grooves and protrusions. This effectively removes various stains and food residues, greatly improving the cleaning effect, ensuring the hygiene of the delivery and sorting box, creating a clean environment for food sorting, and meeting the canteen's need for rapid cleaning of the delivery and sorting box during food delivery and sorting intervals.

[0018] By setting up a disinfection mechanism, disinfectant is added to the disinfectant tank through the inlet pipe. When disinfection of the delivery and sorting box is required, multiple atomizing nozzles at the bottom spray out a fine mist of disinfectant, which can evenly cover the inside of the delivery and sorting box. This comprehensive and uniform disinfection method can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that may exist in the delivery and sorting box, effectively ensuring the hygiene and safety of the food placed inside. During the food sorting process, it avoids the situation where the food deteriorates or becomes contaminated due to contamination of the delivery and sorting box, thus protecting the health of diners.
