[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric food cart technology, and in particular relates to a multi-functional food compartment for a lightweight electric food cart. Background Technology

[0002] The multi-functional food compartment for light-duty electric food carts is a compartment structure specifically designed for light-duty electric food carts, integrating multiple functions into one. It should typically have a cooking area, a food storage area, and a sales and display area. Based on the actual size of the food cart and the usage requirements, the interior space of the food compartment is scientifically and rationally planned, organically combining the various functional areas to ensure operational convenience while maximizing space utilization and improving space efficiency.

[0003] Existing electric food carts often have a menu board near the service window inside the cart, which displays the name of the food, its special features, and its price. Some also include simple pictures of the food, allowing customers to quickly understand the basic information about the food being sold from a distance. However, this menu board takes up some space inside the cart, restricting the movement of the staff. At the same time, it may obstruct customers' view of the food or the staff inside the cart, negatively impacting the customer's visual experience and hindering smooth communication and interaction between the staff and customers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-functional food compartment for a lightweight electric food cart. By setting an information board that can be quickly unfolded and retracted on one side of the storage board, it solves the problem that the menu board set near the service window of the existing electric food cart, although it can display basic food information, occupies space, restricts the operator, obstructs the customer's view, and is not conducive to communication and interaction.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a multi-functional food compartment for a lightweight electric food cart, including a compartment body. The compartment body has a cooking area and a storage cabinet on two opposite inner sides, and two service windows are installed on two opposite outer outer walls of the compartment body.

[0007] The service window includes a window frame fixedly installed on the outer wall of the compartment. The window frame is rotatably fitted with an upper glass window relative to the two inner walls. The window frame is rotatably fitted with a shelf located below the upper glass window relative to the two inner walls. An information board is rotatably fitted to one side of the shelf.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that two symmetrical sliders are slidably fitted on one side of the shelf, and connecting plates are rotatably fitted at both ends of the sliders, and the two connecting plates are rotatably fitted with the window frame and the information board respectively.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a display cabinet is fixedly installed on the top of the storage cabinet, the display cabinet includes a cabinet body, and the cabinet body has several trays arranged in a linear array and rotating between its two inner side walls.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the cabinet body is slidably fitted with rack plates on both inner side walls, and a number of insert rods are fixedly connected in a linear array on one side of the rack plates, and the tray is provided with sliding grooves on both outer side surfaces that slidably fit with the insert rods.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a connecting shaft is rotatably fitted through the cabinet body, and two spur gears are fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the connecting shaft, the spur gears meshing with the rack plate.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a stop sleeve that slides with the connecting shaft is fixedly installed on one outer side wall of the cabinet, a ratchet gear that is embedded with the stop sleeve is slidably fitted on the circumferential side of the connecting shaft, and a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model involves pushing open a shelf on a window frame. When the shelf unfolds outward, the connecting plate that rotates with the window frame also swings. This connecting plate drives another connecting plate to swing via a slider. The other connecting plate then pushes an information board, causing it to rotate relative to the shelf until the shelf and information board are fully unfolded outward. At this point, customers can view the information on the information board to select suitable food. Meanwhile, the information board does not interfere with the operator's activities and does not affect the communication between the operator and the customer.

[0015] 2. This utility model involves pulling the ratchet gear to one side to disengage it from the stop sleeve, and then rotating the connecting shaft via the handle. The connecting shaft drives the rack plate upward through the spur gear, causing the insert rod on the rack plate to rotate the tray, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the tray so that customers can view the food on the tray.

[0027] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model is a multi-functional food compartment for a lightweight electric food cart, including a compartment 1. The compartment 1 has a cooking area 2 and a storage cabinet 3 on its two inner sides respectively. The compartment 1 has two service windows 4 installed on its two outer side walls. A display cabinet 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the storage cabinet 3. Merchants can store food ingredients in the storage cabinet 3 and cook them in the cooking area 2. After cooking, the ingredients are placed on the display cabinet 11 for display.

[0030] Specifically, the service window 4 includes a window frame 5 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the compartment 1. An upper glass window 6 is rotatably fitted between the window frame 5 and the two inner walls. A shelf 7 located below the upper glass window 6 is rotatably fitted between the window frame 5 and the two inner walls. An information board 8 is rotatably fitted on one side of the shelf 7. Two symmetrical sliders 9 are slidably fitted on one side of the shelf 7. Connecting plates 10 are rotatably fitted at both ends of each slider 9. The two connecting plates 10 are rotatably fitted with the window frame 5 and the information board 8, respectively. Food information and prices can be displayed on the information board 8. When the electric food cart arrives at the designated area for sale, the upper glass window 6 and the shelf 7 on the window frame 5 can be pushed open. When the shelf 7 begins to swing, it connects with the window frame 5... The rotating connecting plate 10 also swings and applies an oblique force to the slider 9, causing the slider 9 to move relative to the shelf 7. At the same time, the slider 9 pushes the connecting plate 10, which rotates with the information board 8, so that the connecting plate 10 pushes the information board 8 to rotate relative to the shelf 7 until the shelf 7 is horizontal and the information board 8 is perpendicular to the shelf 7. At this time, customers can view the information on the information board 8 to select suitable food. The merchant can place the food on the shelf 7 for customers to take. If it is necessary to close the stall, the shelf 7 can be rotated in the opposite direction to fold it into the window frame 5. At the same time, the connecting plate 10 and the slider 9 begin to reset, so that the information board 8 gradually fits against the shelf 7.

[0031] Furthermore, the display case 11 includes a cabinet body 12, which is arranged in a linear array with several trays 13 between its two inner side walls for food to be placed on the trays 13 for display.

[0032] The cabinet 12 has rack plates 14 that slide against its two inner side walls. Several insert rods 15 are fixedly connected in a linear array on one side of the rack plates 14. The tray 13 has grooves 16 on both outer sides that slide against the insert rods 15. A connecting shaft 17 rotates through the cabinet 12. Two spur gears 18 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the connecting shaft 17, meshing with the rack plates 14. A stop sleeve 19 that slides against the connecting shaft 17 is fixedly installed on one outer side wall of the cabinet 12. A ratchet gear 20 that is fitted into the stop sleeve 19 slides against the circumference of the connecting shaft 17. A handle 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 17. Because the display cabinet 11 is in a higher position… When the tray 13 is in a horizontal position, customers outside the vehicle, especially short children, may have difficulty clearly observing the shape of the food in the tray 13. At this time, the ratchet 20 can be pulled to one side to disengage it from the stop sleeve 19. Then, the connecting shaft 17 can be rotated through the handle 21. The connecting shaft 17 drives the two spur gears 18 to rotate synchronously. Since the spur gears 18 mesh with the rack plate 14, the rack plate 14 will move upward when the spur gears 18 rotate. At the same time, the insert rod 15 on the rack plate 14 applies an upward pushing force to the tray 13, causing the tray 13 to rotate relative to the cabinet 12, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the tray 13 so that customers can see the food in the tray 13.

[0033] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: drive the electric food cart to the designated area, push open the upper glass window 6 and the shelf 7 on the window frame 5. When the shelf 7 unfolds outward, the connecting plate 10 that rotates with the window frame 5 also swings. The connecting plate 10 drives another connecting plate 10 to swing through the slider 9. The other connecting plate 10 pushes the information plate 8 to rotate relative to the shelf 7 until the shelf 7 and the information plate 8 are fully unfolded. At this time, customers can view the information on the information plate 8 to select the appropriate food. When closing up, the shelf 7 can be rotated in the opposite direction to retract it into the window frame 5. At the same time, the connecting plate 10 and the slider 9 begin to reset and drive the information plate 8 to fit against the shelf 7.

[0034] Meanwhile, when the tray 13 is full of food prepared in the cooking area 2, the ratchet 20 can be pulled to one side to disengage it from the stop sleeve 19. Then, the connecting shaft 17 can be rotated by the handle 21. The connecting shaft 17 drives the rack plate 14 to move upward through the spur gear 18, so that the insert rod 15 on the rack plate 14 drives the tray 13 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the tray 13 so that customers can view the food in the tray 13.
