Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tray assembly technology, and more specifically, to a tray assembly for a food delivery robot. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the tray components of current food delivery robots cannot flexibly adjust their height during use. This means that when delivering food to tables or bars of different heights, the robot needs to perform additional operations to adjust the tray height, increasing the complexity and time cost of the operation. The inflexible tray components make the robot less adaptable to different scenarios, especially in environments such as restaurants or bars where table heights vary. The robot may need to adjust its position multiple times to place the food stably on the table.
[0003] In existing food delivery robot tray components, the design of the protective pad's disassembly and assembly structure is too simple and not sturdy enough. It is easy for it to shift or loosen during use. This not only affects the stability of the tableware placement but also poses a safety hazard. The unstable protective pad may slide or fall off when the robot moves, causing the food to tilt or tip over, or even damage the tray or the food.
[0004] Commercially available food delivery robots do not have the function of collecting residual swill on the plates when collecting tableware. This leads to contamination of the plate surface during use. To improve the efficiency and hygiene of tableware collection, an automatic collection component can be integrated into the tray assembly to achieve efficient and hygienic tableware collection.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 A tray assembly for a food delivery robot includes a mobile cart 1. An adjustment assembly is provided on the mobile cart 1, comprising a support rod 2, a placement tray 3, a fixing sleeve 4, fixing bolts 5, and fixing holes 6. The support rods 2 are evenly distributed on the mobile cart 1, the placement tray 3 is evenly slidably connected to the support rods 2, the fixing sleeves 4 are evenly distributed on the placement tray 3, the fixing bolts 5 are detachably installed between the support rods 2 and the fixing sleeves 4, and the fixing holes 6 are evenly distributed on the support rods 2, each fitting the fixing bolt 5. A protective assembly is provided on the placement tray 3, comprising a protective pad 7, a stabilizing ear 8, and a stabilizing bolt 9. The protective pad 7 is detachably disposed on the placement tray 3, the stabilizing ear 8 is disposed at both ends of the protective pad 7, and the stabilizing bolt 9 is detachably disposed between the stabilizing ear 8 and the placement tray 3.
[0032] The top of the support rod 2 is connected to a top frame 10.
[0033] The protective pad 7 has a placement groove 11 and a drainage groove 12, which are connected to each other.
[0034] A flow hole 13 is provided on the placement plate 3.
[0035] In this embodiment, during use, since the size of the food served varies, the position of the placement plate 3 needs to be adjusted according to different situations. At this time, the fixing bolt 5 is removed from between the support rod 2 and the fixing sleeve 4. Then, the placement plate 3 is slidably moved along the support rod 2 using the fixing sleeve 4. During the movement, after moving to a suitable position, the fixing bolt 5 is re-inserted through the appropriate fixing hole 6 on the support rod 2 to complete the fixing process of the placement plate 3. In order to effectively protect the placement plate 3 during operation, the protective pad 7 is placed on the placement plate 3, and the drainage groove 12 on it is aligned with the flow hole 13 on the placement plate 3. Then, the stabilizing bolt 9 is used to pass through the stabilizing lug 8 on the protective pad 7 to complete the fixing process. Thus, during use, the operator can place the plate in the placement groove 11 of the protective pad 7 to effectively prevent the surface of the placement plate 3 from being affected by the high temperature of the tableware.
[0036] Please see Figure 4-5 As an embodiment of the tray component of a food delivery robot, the storage component is provided on the placement tray 3. The storage component includes a mounting groove 14, a collection box 15 and an opening 16. The mounting groove 14 is opened on the placement tray 3. The collection box 15 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 14. The opening 16 is opened on the collection box 15. The opening 16 is aligned with the flow hole 13, the drain groove 12 and the placement groove 11.
[0037] A guide block 17 is installed on the collection box 15, and the guide block 17 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 14. A device 18 is installed on the mobile vehicle 1, a camera 19 is installed on the top of the device 18, and a pull-out box 20 is slidably connected to the device 18.

[0040] More specifically, during use, tableware inevitably spills. When it spills, it flows along the placement groove 11 and the drain groove 12, through the flow hole 13 on the placement tray 3, and then into the collection box 15. When it needs to be cleaned after a certain amount of collection, the guide block 17 on it slides along the mounting groove 14 on the placement tray 3, thereby removing it from the placement tray 3 so that the collection box 15 can be cleaned. After the cleaning process is completed, the above operation is repeated in reverse to complete the placement process. During use, certain components can be placed in the gas pull box 20 for easy removal during use. When water needs to be taken, the cup is placed on the rack 21. With the cooperation of the drain pipe 25 and its external pump, the water source in the water tank 23 is sent through the drain pipe 25 into the water outlet pipe 22, and then flows into the cup, thus completing the water source taking process.
[0041] In summary, during the use or operation of the entire equipment: Because the size of the food served varies, the position of the placement plate 3 needs to be adjusted according to different situations. At this time, the fixing bolt 5 is removed from between the support rod 2 and the fixing sleeve 4. Then, the placement plate 3 is slidably moved along the support rod 2 using the fixing sleeve 4. After moving to a suitable position, the fixing bolt 5 is re-inserted through the appropriate fixing hole 6 on the support rod 2 to complete the fixing process of the placement plate 3. During operation, to effectively protect the placement plate 3, a protective pad 7 is placed on the placement plate 3, with its drainage groove 12 aligned with the flow hole 13 on the placement plate 3. Then, the stabilizing bolt 9 is passed through the stabilizing lug 8 on the protective pad 7 to complete the fixing process. Thus, during use, the operator can place the plate in the placement groove 11 of the protective pad 7, effectively preventing the surface of the placement plate 3 from being affected by the high temperature of the tableware.
[0042] During use, tableware inevitably spills. When it spills, it flows along the placement groove 11 and the drain groove 12, through the flow hole 13 on the placement tray 3, and then into the collection box 15. When it needs to be cleaned after a certain amount of collection, the guide block 17 slides along the mounting groove 14 on the placement tray 3 to remove it from the placement tray 3, allowing the collection box 15 to be cleaned. After the cleaning process is completed, the above operation is repeated to complete the placement process. During use, certain components can be placed in the gas pull box 20 for easy removal during use. When water needs to be obtained, the cup is placed on the rack 21. With the cooperation of the drain pipe 25 and its external pump, the water source in the water tank 23 is sent through the drain pipe 25 into the water outlet pipe 22, and then flows into the cup, thus completing the water source obtaining process.
