[0003] Existing food display cases use multiple mesh partitions to separate the interior, with food displayed on these shelves. The entire cabinet is refrigerated by a central cooling unit. When food needs to be retrieved from a particular shelf, opening the side door allows hot outside air to quickly enter the entire cabinet, causing the overall internal temperature to rise and increasing energy consumption. Furthermore, meat products drip oil, making cleaning the interior difficult. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a food display preservation device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a food display preservation device, comprising a cabinet, wherein the cabinet is provided with a display cavity, a top cavity, and a back cavity, and the top cavity is located at the top of the display cavity and the back cavity. A vertical partition and several horizontal partitions are fixed inside the display cavity, and the vertical partitions and several horizontal partitions divide the display cavity into several independent placement cavities. A cold air vent is provided between each of the independent placement cavities and the back cavity. A refrigeration component is provided inside the top cavity, inside the back cavity, and outside the cabinet. A controller is provided inside the top cavity. A mesh plate and a water collection trough are provided at the bottom of each of the independent placement cavities. Several casters are fixed on the lower surface of the cabinet.

[0006] Furthermore, the refrigeration assembly includes a compressor, a condenser, a filter, a capillary tube, and an evaporator, which are connected in sequence. The compressor, filter, and capillary tube are located inside the top cavity, the condenser is located outside the cabinet, and the evaporator is located inside the back cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the individually placed cavities has an LED light bead installed on its inner sidewall.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the independent placement cavities has guide grooves on both sides of its inner sidewall, the two ends of the mesh plate are located inside the guide grooves and are slidably connected to the guide grooves, and the water receiving trough is located below the mesh plate.

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

[0023] As shown in Figures 1-5, a food display preservation device is disclosed, comprising a cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 has a display cavity 101, a top cavity 102, and a back cavity 103 inside, with the top cavity 102 located at the top of the display cavity 101 and the back cavity 103. A vertical partition 2 and several horizontal partitions 3 are fixed inside the display cavity 101, dividing the display cavity 101 into several independent placement cavities 104. A cold air vent 6 is provided between each independent placement cavity 104 and the back cavity 103. A refrigeration component 7 is provided inside the top cavity 102, inside the back cavity 103, and outside the cabinet 1. A controller is provided inside the top cavity 102. A mesh plate 9 and a water collection tank 10 are provided at the bottom of each independent placement cavity 104. Several casters 12 are fixed on the lower surface of the cabinet 1.

[0024] The refrigeration assembly 7 includes a compressor 71, a condenser 72, a filter 73, a capillary tube 74, and an evaporator 75, which are connected in sequence. The compressor 71, the filter 73, the capillary tube 74, and the evaporator 75 are located inside the top cavity 102, the condenser 72 is located outside the cabinet 1, and the evaporator 75 is located inside the back cavity 103.

[0025] In this embodiment, the working principle of the refrigeration component 7 is exactly the same as that of the prior art. The compressor 71 pressurizes the gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which flows through the condenser 72 to dissipate heat and liquefy. The liquid refrigerant then passes through the filter 73 for filtration, and then through the capillary tube 74 for throttling and pressure reduction. It then vaporizes and absorbs heat in the evaporator 75, absorbing heat from the back cavity 103 to achieve cooling. Finally, the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor 71, completing the cycle. The controller inside the top cavity 102 also adopts the prior art, specifically model ETC-2110A, and controls the operation of the refrigeration component 7. Temperature feedback and temperature regulation are the same as in the prior art and will not be described further.

[0026] Each independent placement cavity 104 has an LED light bead 11 installed on its inner side wall.

[0027] By installing LED beads 11 inside each independent placement cavity 104, each independent placement cavity 104 can be illuminated. The LED beads 11 are low-power lamps.

[0028] Each independent placement cavity 104 has guide grooves 8 on both sides of its inner wall. The two ends of the mesh plate 9 are located inside the guide grooves 8 and are slidably connected to the guide grooves 8. The water receiving tank 10 is located below the mesh plate 9.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the mesh plate 9 and the water receiving tank 10 are made of food-grade stainless steel. The mesh plate 9 is supported by the guide groove 8. During use, food is placed on the surface of the mesh plate 9, and water or oil on the surface of the food can drip into the water receiving tank 10 below without contaminating the inner wall of the independent placement cavity 104. The mesh plate 9 and the water receiving tank 10 can be removed from the independent placement cavity 104 for cleaning.

[0030] Each independent placement cavity 104 has a side door 4 that is hinged to one side of its opening. The side door 4 that is away from the hinge is fixedly connected to the cabinet body 1 by a magnet.

[0031] In this embodiment, the connection between the side door 4 and the cabinet 1 is sealed with a rubber ring. The corresponding side door 4 can be rotated to open and take out the food in the independent placement cavity 104, or put the food into the corresponding independent placement cavity 104.

[0032] A glass window 5 is fixed in the middle of the side door 4. The glass window 5 allows for easy observation of the food inside the corresponding independent storage compartment 104.

[0033] Working principle: When the refrigeration component 7 is running, it cools the back cavity 103 through the evaporator 75. Cold air passes through the cold air inlet 6 and enters different independent placement cavities 104, cooling each independent placement cavity 104 individually. When the side door 4 corresponding to one independent placement cavity 104 is opened to take out or store food, it will not have a significant impact on the internal temperature of other independent placement cavities 104, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
