Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to a mobile cart for pre-prepared dishes that prevents burns. Background Technology

[0002] Pre-prepared meals, also known as pre-cooked foods, generally refer to semi-finished or finished products made from various agricultural, livestock, poultry, and aquatic products as raw and auxiliary materials, along with seasonings and other auxiliary materials, through pre-selection, preparation, and other processes. They need to be stored or transported under cold chain conditions and are intended for consumers or food service providers to simply heat or cook before consumption. The ingredients, after being sterilized by high-temperature steam during the pre-prepared meal processing, need to be transported promptly for further processing. This transfer is achieved using trolleys, where the ingredients are placed in a material basket and transported as a whole. During this process, the high temperature of the ingredients is transferred through the basket to the trolley and further to the handle, posing a risk of burns to transporters. Furthermore, during loading and unloading, it is difficult to fully load and quickly unload the food, requiring manual adjustment by the handlers, which still carries the risk of burns, making the food impractical. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scalding-proof mobile cart for pre-prepared food. This invention allows for loading and unloading without direct contact by the handler, while reducing heat transfer to the handles to prevent burns. It is practical and reliable.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model: a pre-prepared food cart for preventing burns, including a cart platform with multiple casters at the bottom. Symmetrically arranged first rotating rods are located on both sides of the front of the cart platform, with a front stop bar at the top of both first rotating rods. Symmetrically arranged second rotating rods are located on both sides of the rear of the cart platform, with a rear stop bar at the top of both second rotating rods. The first and second rotating rods are parallel and of equal length. A side stop bar is rotatably connected to the top of the first rotating rod, and the end of the side stop bar is rotatably connected to the top of the corresponding second rotating rod. An extension rod is provided on the front stop bar, and a handle is provided at the end of the extension rod. A positioning mechanism is provided on the cart platform to keep the first rotating rods upright.

[0005] In the aforementioned anti-scalding pre-cooked food mobile cart, the positioning mechanism includes a slot disposed on the top surface of the cart panel and located behind the first rotating rod, and an insert plate corresponding to the rear of the first rotating rod is provided in the slot; the side of the cart panel is provided with a fixing block corresponding to the front of the first rotating rod.

[0006] In the aforementioned pre-cooked food trolley designed to prevent burns, the top surfaces of the insert plates on both sides correspond to the bottom surfaces of the side guards.

[0007] In the aforementioned pre-cooked food trolley designed to prevent burns, the insert plate is made of heat-insulating material.

[0008] In the aforementioned anti-scalding pre-cooked food mobile cart, the slot surface is provided with an installation port, and the installation port is provided with a flexible and movable plug, the two sides of which are inclined; the side of the plug plate is provided with a positioning port that matches the plug.

[0009] In the aforementioned pre-cooked food trolley designed to prevent burns, the top surface of the trolley panel is provided with a groove that fits into the front stop bar.

[0010] In the aforementioned pre-cooked food trolley designed to prevent burns, the rear end of the trolley is equipped with an unloading extension plate.

[0011] In the aforementioned pre-cooked food trolley designed to prevent burns, the handle is provided with a heat-insulating sleeve, and the heat-insulating sleeve has evenly distributed grooves.

[0012] In the aforementioned pre-cooked food trolley designed to prevent burns, a foot plate is provided at the bottom front side of the trolley panel, and the foot plate has evenly distributed friction textures.

[0013] In the aforementioned pre-cooked food trolley designed to prevent burns, the trolley panel has a slot, and rollers are evenly distributed from front to back within the slot.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, before loading, this utility model releases the vertical lock of the first rotating rod through the positioning mechanism. Pushing the handle forward causes the extension rod to rotate via the front stop, and further via the side stop to rotate the second rotating rod. The rear stop moves downward, and the material is then placed into the frame-shaped area formed by the front stop, rear stop, and side stops. Pulling the handle forward causes the front stop, side stops, and rear stop to move upward. During this process, the rear stop pushes the material forward to adjust its position. After all stops have moved upward, they cooperate with the upright first and second rotating rods to form a barrier. The positioning mechanism positions the first rotating rod, and the barrier reliably limits the material. During transport, since the extension rod is not directly connected to the vehicle platform, the heat from the material is less likely to be transferred to the handle, reducing the possibility of burns. Upon reaching the unloading location, the positioning mechanism releases the position, and pushing the handle back causes the front stop to push the material backward to the edge of the vehicle platform, where the barrier is removed, facilitating unloading. This process eliminates the need for direct contact between the handler's hands and the material, effectively preventing burns. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] Example: Anti-scalding pre-cooked food trolley, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle includes a rectangular platform 1 with four casters 2 mounted on its bottom. First rotating rods 3 are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the front of the platform 1 via an axis, and a cylindrical front stop bar 4 is rotatably connected to the inner top of each of the two first rotating rods 3. Second rotating rods 5 are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the rear of the platform 1 via an axis, and a rear stop bar 6 is rotatably connected to the inner top of each of the two second rotating rods 5. The first rotating rods 3 and the second rotating rods 5 are parallel and of equal length, forming a parallelogram connecting rod. A side stop bar 7 is rotatably connected to the outer top of each of the first rotating rods 3, and the end of the side stop bar 7 is rotatably connected to the outer top of the corresponding second rotating rod 5. An extension rod 8 is integrally formed on the front stop bar 4, and a handle 9 is integrally formed at the end of the extension rod 8. A positioning mechanism 10 for keeping the first rotating rods 3 upright is mounted on the platform 1. (See attached diagram) Figure 2 As shown, the positioning mechanism 10 includes a slot 11 located on the top surface of the vehicle panel 1 and behind the first rotating rod 3. The slot 11 contains an insert plate 12 corresponding to the rear of the first rotating rod 3. After insertion, the insert plate fits against the rear of the first rotating rod, preventing it from rotating backward. A fixing block 13 corresponding to the front of the first rotating rod 3 is welded to the side of the vehicle panel 1. The fixing block fits against the front of the first rotating rod, preventing it from rotating forward. The top surfaces of both sides of the insert plate 12 correspond to the bottom surfaces of the side stop rod 7, providing support for the side stop rod and improving the positioning effect of the insert plate. The insert plate 12 is made of heat-insulating materials such as resin foam board. The insert plate creates a gap between the front stop rod and the material to reduce direct heat transfer. Simultaneously, its heat-insulating properties hinder heat transfer, further improving the reliability of use. (See attached...) Figure 4As shown, the slot 11 has an installation opening 20 on its groove surface. A spring-loaded insert 21 is connected within the installation opening 20, with inclined surfaces on both sides. The insert plate 12 has a positioning opening 22 on its side that matches the insert 21. When the insert plate is inserted, the insert, under elastic pressure, will insert into the positioning opening, thus positioning the insert and preventing it from detaching from the slot. When sufficient external force is applied to the insert plate from the side, the positioning opening will push the insert back into the installation opening via the inclined surfaces, thereby removing the insert plate. The top surface of the vehicle platform 1 has a groove 19 that fits with the front deflector 4. When the front deflector rotates backward, it can be inserted into the groove, and the rear deflector rotates backward to the rear of the vehicle platform, allowing the first and second rotating rods to be laid completely flat, avoiding obstruction during loading and unloading. The rear end of the vehicle platform 1 has an integrally formed unloading extension plate 14 to expand the support range. (See attached...) Figure 3 As shown, the handle 9 is covered with a heat insulation sleeve 15, which has evenly distributed grooves 16. The inner layer of the heat insulation sleeve is made of aerogel, and the outer layer is made of silicone, which effectively insulates heat. The grooves increase the heat dissipation area by expanding the exposed surface, avoiding burns and improving grip comfort. A foot plate 17 is welded to the bottom front side of the cart 1. The foot plate 17 has evenly distributed friction textures 18. Users can step on the foot plate to fix the cart, which is convenient for loading and unloading. The friction textures are used to increase friction. The cart 1 is provided with a slot 23, and rollers 24 are evenly distributed from front to back in the slot 23. This can reduce the friction force on the material basket when it moves above, thereby improving the convenience of loading and unloading.

[0022] Working principle: Before loading, push out the insert plate 12 to release the vertical lock of the first rotating rod 3. Push the handle 9, and the extension rod 8 drives the first rotating rod 3 to rotate via the front stop rod 4, and further drives the second rotating rod 5 to rotate via the side stop rod 7. The rear stop rod moves down, and then the material to be transported is placed into the frame-shaped area formed by the front stop rod 4, the rear stop rod 6, and the side stop rods 7. Pull the handle 9 forward, at which time the front stop rod 4, the side stop rods 7, and the rear stop rod 6 all move up. During the process, the rear stop rod 6 pushes the material forward to adjust its position. After all the stops have moved up completely, they cooperate... The upright first rotating rod 3 and the second rotating rod 5 form a barrier. The insert plate 12 is inserted back to position the first rotating rod 3, and the barrier reliably limits the material. During the handling process, since the extension rod 8 is not directly connected to the vehicle platform 1, the heat of the material is not easily transferred to the handle, reducing the possibility of burns. After arriving at the unloading location, the insert plate 12 is pushed out with a stick-shaped tool to release the positioning. The handle 9 is pushed back again, and the front stop bar 4 pushes the material backward to push it to the edge of the vehicle platform 1 and remove the barrier, which facilitates unloading. During the process, the handler does not need to directly touch the material with their hands.

[0023] The above embodiments merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. Furthermore, in these embodiments, "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back" represent relative positions only, not absolute positions. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
