Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 Example 1 illustrates a food storage cabinet for a commercial kitchen, comprising a worktable 1, a refrigerator 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the worktable 1, a support frame 3 fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the worktable 1, a long straight plate 4 fixedly connected to the center of the support frame 3, a storage cabinet 5 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 3, three partition plates 6 fixedly connected at equal intervals in the inner cavity of the storage cabinet 5, several shelf plates 7 fixedly connected at equal intervals between two sets of partition plates 6, and a humidification mechanism 8 provided in the inner cavity of the storage cabinet 5, the humidification mechanism 8 including a water tank 801, a water pump 802, a delivery pipe 803, and a spray head 804, the water tank 801 being connected to the water pump 802 via a pipe, the delivery pipe 803 being fixedly connected to the top of the front side of the inner cavity of the storage cabinet 5, and several spray heads 804 fixedly connected at equal intervals on the side of the delivery pipe 803 near the shelf plate 7;
[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5The water tank 801 in the figure is fixedly installed on the top of the storage cabinet 5. The water outlet pipe of the water tank 801 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 802. The water outlet of the water pump 802 is connected to a water guide pipe. The end of the water guide pipe away from the water pump 802 passes through the top of the storage cabinet 5 and extends into its interior to be connected to the delivery pipe 803.
[0026] In this embodiment, ingredients requiring refrigeration are placed in the refrigerator 2 as needed. The refrigeration system of the refrigerator 2 operates continuously to maintain a low-temperature environment in the cavity. Ingredients that need to be portable can be collected through a placement frame and placed on a long straight plate 4 fixedly connected to the support frame 3 for easy access by the chef. Ingredients requiring humidification are placed in the storage cabinet 5. At the same time, the humidity of the ingredients in the storage cabinet 5 is regulated by the humidification mechanism 8. The user starts the water pump 802 through an external switch. The water pump 802 uses suction to pump water from the water tank 801 into the delivery pipe 803 through the water guide pipe. Then, the water is delivered to each spray head 804 through the delivery pipe 803. The spray head 804 sprays water evenly in a mist form onto the ingredients on the shelf 7 to achieve a humidification effect and maintain the freshness of the ingredients. The partition plate 6 and the shelf 7 work together to make full use of the space in the storage cabinet 5. Different types of ingredients can be stored separately to avoid cross-contamination between ingredients. At the same time, it makes it easier for the chef to find the ingredients they need, improving the efficiency of the kitchen.
[0027] It should be noted that the refrigeration system inside the refrigerator 2 can maintain its interior at a low temperature, thereby refrigerating and preserving the food inside and extending its shelf life. The food placed in the storage cabinet 5 can have its humidity regulated by the humidification mechanism 8 to provide the necessary moisture, thereby achieving a moisturizing effect and maintaining the freshness of the food. In addition, the combined use of the divider 6 and the shelf 7 makes full use of the space inside the storage cabinet 5, allowing different types of food to be stored separately and avoiding cross-contamination between food items.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Example 2 is described below. This embodiment further illustrates Example 1. In the figure, the size of the operating table 1 matches the size of the top of the refrigerator 2, and the width of the support frame 3 is half the width of the operating table 1.
[0030] Furthermore, the interior of the refrigerator 2 is provided with three accommodating cavities 9 at equal intervals, and each accommodating cavity 9 has a hinged airtight door 10 at its front opening.
[0031] In this embodiment, the width of the support frame 3 is half the width of the worktable 1, so that the worktable 1 can provide sufficient operating space. The chef can cut ingredients and prepare dishes on the worktable 1. The three compartments 9 inside the refrigerator 2 provide independent storage space for different types of ingredients. Each compartment 9 is sealed by a sealed door 10, which effectively prevents cross-contamination of odors and loss of temperature between ingredients, ensuring the freshness and original flavor of the ingredients.
[0032] It should be noted that a humidity sensor can also be installed in the storage cabinet 5. The humidity sensor is electrically connected to the water pump 802. The humidity sensor can detect the humidity in the storage cabinet 5 in real time. When the detected humidity is lower than the preset value, the humidity sensor sends a signal to the water pump 802, the water pump 802 starts, draws water from the water tank 801, and sprays it evenly on the food in a mist form through the spray head 804. This achieves intelligent humidity control, ensures that the food is in the best storage environment, and maintains the freshness and taste of the food.
[0033] Example 3
[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Example 3 is described below. This embodiment further describes Example 2. In the figure, three partition plates 6 evenly divide the inner cavity of the storage cabinet 5 into four storage areas. Each storage area has a cabinet door 11 hinged to the front side, and a transparent plate 12 is provided on the cabinet door 11.
[0035] Furthermore, the shelf 7 is perpendicular to the partition 6, and the shelf 7 has several through holes 13 at equal intervals.
[0036] In this embodiment, the transparent panel 12 provided on the cabinet door 11 allows the chef to quickly observe the food conditions in each storage area of the storage cabinet 5 without opening the cabinet door 11, making it easier for the chef to find the required food quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of the kitchen.
[0037] Specifically, the water pump 802 draws water from the water tank 801 and delivers it to the horizontal conveying pipe 803 at the top of the storage cabinet 5 via the water guide pipe. The spray nozzles 804, which are evenly distributed below the conveying pipe 803, atomize the water and spray it out. The water mist evenly covers the inner cavity of the storage cabinet 5, maintaining a high humidity environment, which is suitable for the preservation of vegetables. The through holes 13 on the shelf 7 can promote air circulation and avoid local water accumulation.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
