Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display cabinet technology, and in particular to a rotating bulk food display cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Bulk food display cases are commercial equipment specifically designed for displaying and selling unpackaged or non-quantitatively packaged foods, and are widely used in supermarkets, bakeries, grocery stores and other places.
[0003] Patent CN220089078U discloses a food display cabinet. It includes a fixed plate fixedly mounted on the top of the cabinet, a conical platform fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate, and several circular trays for placing food fixedly connected to the surface of the conical platform. Lighting lights are fixedly installed around the bottom of each circular tray, and a temperature control device is installed on the top of the inner wall of the cabinet. When using this patent, food is displayed on the circular trays mounted on the conical platform. However, in the aforementioned prior art patent, the conical platform is fixedly connected to the fixed plate and cannot rotate. When customers select food, they need to move their position and adjust their viewing angle to see the food from different directions, reducing the convenience of shopping.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a rotating bulk food display case. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing patents where the conical platform is fixedly connected to a fixed plate and cannot rotate, requiring customers to move their position and adjust their viewing angle to see the food from different directions, thus reducing the convenience of shopping, this utility model provides a rotating bulk food display cabinet. Through components such as a motor, synchronous wheel, and synchronous belt, the containers storing food can be rotated for display, eliminating the need for customers to walk around to view them.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: a rotating bulk food display cabinet, comprising a cabinet body and a control panel. The control panel is mounted on the cabinet body. The cabinet body also includes a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, a motor, a pulley assembly, a synchronous pulley, a synchronous belt, a fixed base, a connecting shaft, and a storage box. The second rotating shaft and the first rotating shaft are rotatably mounted on the cabinet body. A motor is installed inside the cabinet body. A pulley assembly is positioned between the motor's output shaft and the first rotating shaft. Two synchronous pulleys are fixedly connected to both the first and second rotating shafts. A synchronous belt is wound between two adjacent synchronous pulleys on the first and second rotating shafts. Ten fixed bases are fixedly connected to the synchronous belt. A connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on each fixed base. A storage box is fixedly connected between two connecting shafts located on the same horizontal line. The control panel is electrically connected to the motor.
[0007] Further explanation: It also includes partitions, retaining balls, and elastic elements. The storage box has two sliding grooves, and three partitions are slidably arranged between the two grooves. Two retaining balls are slidably arranged on the partitions. Elastic elements connect the retaining balls to the partitions. The storage box has multiple retaining holes, and the retaining balls are inserted into adjacent retaining holes.
[0008] To further explain, it also includes sliding seats and silicone curtains. There are two guide grooves on the cabinet, and multiple sliding seats are slidably installed in the guide grooves. A silicone curtain is installed between the multiple sliding seats located on the same side.
[0009] To further explain, the cabinet has two air ducts and two protective covers.
[0010] To further explain, it also includes supplementary lighting; supplementary lighting is installed inside the cabinet.
[0011] To further explain, it also includes ceramic rings; multiple ceramic rings are set on the silicone curtain.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. The output shaft of the motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate through the pulley assembly. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are linked with the synchronous belt through the synchronous pulley, so that the two sets of synchronous belts rotate synchronously. The rotation of the synchronous belt drives the connecting shaft and storage box and the bulk food inside to move, so that the ten storage boxes are rotated in a cycle for display. Therefore, there is no need to move the position or adjust the viewing angle to view all the goods in the cabinet, thereby improving the shopping experience.
[0013] 2. By pushing the partition to the corresponding position, the locking ball aligns with the adjacent locking hole, and the elastic element rebounds and pushes the locking ball into the locking hole, thus quickly fixing the partition. This allows for sliding adjustment of the volume of the storage box's cavity, adapting to the partitioned storage of food of different sizes.
[0014] 3. Turn off the motor via the control panel, then pull the silicone curtain to allow it to slide along the guide groove via the sliding seat. The curtain will then hang down naturally to cover the cabinet opening, thereby reducing the entry of dust and impurities and ensuring that the food is not contaminated.
[0015] 4. By turning on the air duct fan, the air duct fan circulates air inside and outside the cabinet, which can prevent food from getting damp or overheating. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] Example 1: A rotating bulk food display case, see reference. Figures 1-6 As shown, the system includes a cabinet 1 and a control panel 101. The control panel 101 is bolted to the front right side of the cabinet 1. The system also includes a first rotating shaft 2, a second rotating shaft 3, a motor 4, a pulley assembly 5, a synchronous pulley 6, a synchronous belt 7, a mounting base 8, a connecting shaft 9, and a storage box 10. The second rotating shaft 3 is rotatably mounted in the upper part of the cabinet 1, and the first rotating shaft 2 is rotatably mounted in the lower part of the cabinet 1. The motor 4 is bolted to the lower right side of the cabinet 1. A pulley assembly 5 is installed between the output shaft of the motor 4 and the first rotating shaft 2. The pulley assembly 5 consists of two… The system consists of a pulley and a flat belt. The two pulleys are respectively mounted on the output shaft of the motor 4 and the first rotating shaft 2. The flat belt is wound between the two pulleys. Synchronous pulleys 6 are fixedly connected to both ends of the first rotating shaft 2 and the second rotating shaft 3. A synchronous belt 7 is wound between two close synchronous pulleys 6 on the first rotating shaft 2 and the second rotating shaft 3. Ten fixed seats 8 are fixedly connected at even intervals on the synchronous belt 7. A connecting shaft 9 is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 8. A storage box 10 is welded between two connecting shafts 9 located on the same horizontal line. The control panel 101 is electrically connected to the motor 4.
[0025] See Figure 2and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a supplementary light 21, which is installed on the top of the cabinet 1.
[0026] When using this device, first place the bulk food in the storage box 10, then start the motor 4 through the control panel 101. The output shaft of the motor 4 drives the first rotating shaft 2 to rotate through the pulley assembly 5. The first rotating shaft 2 and the second rotating shaft 3 are linked with the synchronous belt 7 through the synchronous pulley 6, so that the two sets of synchronous belts 7 rotate synchronously. The rotation of the synchronous belt 7 drives the connecting shaft 9 on itself and the storage box 10 and the bulk food inside to move, so that the ten storage boxes 10 rotate and display in a cycle. This eliminates the need to move the position or adjust the viewing angle to view all the goods in the cabinet 1, thereby improving the shopping experience. The supplementary light 21 on the top of the cabinet provides uniform lighting and enhances the visual appeal of the food display.
[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a partition plate 13, a retaining ball 14, and an elastic element 15. The storage box 10 has a sliding groove 11 on both the front and rear sides. Three partition plates 13 are slidably arranged between two sliding grooves 11. Retaining balls 14 are slidably arranged on both the front and rear sides of the partition plate 13. An elastic element 15 connects the retaining ball 14 and the partition plate 13. Multiple retaining holes 12 are evenly spaced on both the front and rear sides of the storage box 10. The retaining holes 12 are located in the sliding grooves 11, and the retaining balls 14 are inserted into the adjacent retaining holes 12.
[0028] When bulk food is placed in front of the storage box 10, the partition plate 13 is first pushed, causing the locking ball 14 to be squeezed inward by the storage box 10. The elastic element 15 is compressed accordingly. When the partition plate 13 is pushed to the corresponding position, the locking ball 14 is aligned with the nearby locking hole 12. The elastic element 15 then rebounds and pushes the locking ball 14 into the locking hole 12, thereby quickly fixing the partition plate 13. In this way, the volume of the cavity inside the storage box 10 can be slidably adjusted to adapt to the partitioned storage of food of different sizes.
[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a sliding seat 17 and a silicone curtain 18. Two guide grooves 16 are opened on the upper part of the cabinet 1. Multiple sliding seats 17 are evenly spaced and slidably arranged in the guide grooves 16. A silicone curtain 18 is arranged between the multiple sliding seats 17 on the same side. The two silicone curtains 18 are located on the front and rear sides of the cabinet 1 respectively.
[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a ceramic ring 22. Multiple ceramic rings 22 are provided on the silicone curtain 18, and the ceramic rings 22 are in contact with the sliding seat 17.
[0031] When no display is needed, first turn off motor 4 via control panel 101, then pull silicone curtain 18 so that silicone curtain 18 slides and unfolds along guide groove 16 via sliding seat 17. The curtain hangs down naturally to cover the opening of cabinet 1, thereby reducing the entry of dust and impurities and ensuring that food is not contaminated. At the same time, ceramic ring 22 increases the smoothness of sliding and avoids jamming.
[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an air guide fan 19 and a protective cover 20. The air guide fan 19 is symmetrically installed on the right side of the cabinet 1 by means of bolt connection. The protective cover 20 is symmetrically installed on the right side of the cabinet 1 by means of welding. The protective cover 20 is located to the right of the air guide fan 19.
[0033] When the display is being conducted, the air guide fan 19 is activated to circulate air inside and outside the cabinet 1, thereby preventing the food from getting damp or overheated. The protective cover 20 covers the outside of the fan, blocking foreign objects from entering and guiding the airflow to ensure safety and ventilation efficiency.
[0034] It should be understood that the above description is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that variations of the present invention will be included within the scope of the claims herein.
