Before delivering the dishes, the cover plate 5 is hinged open relative to the groove 4, and the appropriate box 9 is pulled out. The T-shaped slider 11 slides and adjusts relative to the slide groove 12 of the support plate 8, which drives the box 9 with the separator 10 to slide out. The separator 10 separates and stores different dishes. After storage, the box 9 slides back to its original position, and the cover plate 5 closes.

[0029] More specifically, after prolonged use, the cover 5 can be opened, and the L-shaped plate 7 can be removed from the groove 4 to disassemble and clean the entire L-shaped plate 7.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As one embodiment of closing and locking the cover plate 5: a limiting rod 13 is provided through the front side of the upper end of the movable chassis 1 corresponding to the two cover plates 5. A limiting hole 14 is opened on the upper end of the two cover plates 5 corresponding to the limiting rod 13. A limiting ring 15 is provided on the upper end of the two limiting rods 13. A spring 16 is provided between the limiting ring 15 and the movable chassis 1. The spring 16 is fitted on the outer end of the limiting rod 13.

Grasp the limiting ring 15, pull the limiting rod 13 upward, and the spring 16 is stretched. Grasp the first handle 6 to hinge open the cover plate 5. After the sample retention operation is completed, the cover plate 5 is hinged closed. Before closing, grasp the limiting ring 15, pull the limiting rod 13 upward, and the spring 16 is stretched. After the cover plate 5 is closed, release the limiting ring 15, the spring 16 retracts, and the limiting rod 13 resets and inserts into the limiting hole 14 to lock the cover plate 5.

[0038] When the box body 9 is in the sliding adjustment state, after the cover plate 5 is opened, grasp the second handle 24, the box body 9 slides relative to the support plate 8, the T-shaped slider 11 slides relative to the slide groove 12 of the support plate 8, the guide rod 23 and the guide hole 22 cooperate to guide, the box body 9 slides outward to be taken out, the container containing the food for sample retention is placed in the inner groove of the box body 9 which is separated by the separator seat 10, after placement, the box body 9 slides back to its original position, and the cover plate 5 is hinged to close, realizing the sample retention storage.

[0039] When the entire assembly is disassembled, after the cover plate 5 is opened, the locking rod 20 is rotated. The locking rod 20 and the locking hole 19 are threaded together, and the locking rod 20 is removed from the locking hole 21. The positioning hole 18 and the positioning rod 17 of the L-shaped plate 7 are slidably engaged, so as to realize the overall disassembly of the L-shaped plate 7. After the overall disassembly, the L-shaped plate 7 can be cleaned for easy cleaning.
