Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food delivery technology, and in particular to a food delivery and conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the food delivery sector, ensuring the freshness and safety of ingredients during transportation is paramount. Food delivery conveyor systems are widely used in fresh food and cold chain logistics, primarily to maintain a low-temperature environment during transport to ensure freshness. Traditional delivery systems often employ simple foam boxes combined with ice or gel ice packs for refrigeration.
[0003] Traditional food delivery and conveying devices often use simple foam boxes with ice or gel ice packs. Firstly, the foam boxes are often damaged and discarded after only one or two uses, resulting in a lot of waste. Secondly, when the delivery distance is long, the ice packs or ice blocks melt and the temperature rises, and there is no timely reminder or feedback, which can easily lead to food spoilage.
[0004] Therefore, to address the shortcomings of traditional food delivery and conveying devices, a new food delivery and conveying device can be designed. This device features a dual structure of an outer insulated box and an inner refrigerated box, combined with ice-filling cavities at the bottom and sides to enhance the insulation and refrigeration effects. Furthermore, an intelligent insulated cover integrates a temperature sensor and a buzzer to enable real-time temperature monitoring and abnormal warnings, thereby facilitating the resolution of the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of traditional food delivery and conveying devices, which often use simple foam boxes with ice or gel ice packs, the following is proposed: firstly, the foam boxes are often damaged and discarded after one or two uses; and secondly, there is no timely reminder or feedback when the ice packs or ice blocks melt and the temperature rises, which can easily lead to food spoilage.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A food delivery and conveying device includes a conveyor vehicle, an outer insulated box, an inner refrigeration box, and an intelligent insulated cover; the outer insulated box is provided on top of the conveyor vehicle to prevent cold air from leaking out; an insulated storage compartment is provided inside the outer insulated box; an inner refrigeration box is provided inside the insulated storage compartment to reduce the ambient temperature of the food; a food storage compartment is provided inside the inner refrigeration box to store the food; a bottom ice-filling cavity for storing ice is provided at the bottom of the food storage compartment; side ice-filling cavities are provided on all four side walls of the food storage compartment to cooperate with the bottom ice-filling cavity; and an intelligent insulated cover is provided on top of the outer insulated box to seal the insulated box and monitor the refrigeration temperature.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the ice-filling cavity has a sloping guide slope at its center, and a water outlet is located at the center of the sloping guide slope. The water outlet is fitted with a sealing plug inside. Multiple sets of water passage holes communicating with the bottom ice-filling cavity are evenly opened on the inner side of the bottom of the side ice-filling cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, a partition frame is provided above the bottom ice-filling cavity, and a partition plate for separating the bottom ice-filling cavity and the side ice-filling cavity is fitted inside the partition frame.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the side ice-filling cavities has an ice-filling opening at the top, and a sealing cover is provided above each ice-filling opening.
[0010] Furthermore, the interior of the insulated storage chamber is equipped with multiple sets of insulation pads, which are attached to the bottom and four side walls of the insulated storage chamber.
[0011] Furthermore, a control screen is located at the center of the surface of the smart heat preservation cover. A battery slot is located on one side of the control screen. The battery slot contains a battery pack that is electrically connected to the control screen. A battery cover is located above the battery slot. A buzzer is integrated inside the smart heat preservation cover. A sealing heat preservation pad is attached to the lower end of the smart heat preservation cover. A temperature sensor that is electrically connected to the control screen is located at the center of the bottom of the sealing heat preservation pad.
[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the conveyor is provided with positioning grooves, the bottom corners of the conveyor are equipped with casters, and the front end of the conveyor is equipped with a pull rod.
[0013] The beneficial effects are that, compared to the shortcomings of traditional food delivery and conveying devices, this application, through its dual structure of an outer insulated box and an inner refrigeration box, combined with bottom and side ice-filling cavities, increases the contact area between ice and food, enhancing the insulation and refrigeration effect. Compared to the traditional method of using foam boxes with ice or gel ice packs, it can more effectively maintain the low-temperature environment of food during transportation, extending the freshness time. Traditional foam boxes are often damaged and discarded after one or two uses, resulting in significant waste. The outer insulated box and inner refrigeration box of this utility model are made of durable materials and can be reused, greatly reducing resource waste and lowering costs. This reduces operating costs; the intelligent insulation cover integrates a temperature sensor and buzzer, enabling real-time monitoring of temperature changes inside the refrigeration unit. When the temperature exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm is issued promptly.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Example
[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a food delivery and conveying device includes a conveyor 1, an outer insulated box 2, an inner refrigeration box 3, and an intelligent insulated cover 4. The outer insulated box 2 is located above the conveyor 1 to prevent cold air from leaking out. The outer insulated box 2 has an insulated storage compartment 201 inside. The inner refrigeration box 3 is located inside the insulated storage compartment 201 to reduce the ambient temperature of the food. The inner refrigeration box 3 has a food storage compartment 301 inside. The bottom of the food storage compartment 301 has a bottom ice-filling cavity 304 for storing ice. The four side walls of the food storage compartment 301 all have side ice-filling cavities 302 that cooperate with the bottom ice-filling cavity 304. The intelligent insulated cover 4 is located above the outer insulated box 2 to seal the outer insulated box 2 and monitor the refrigeration temperature.
[0024] The bottom ice-filling cavity 304 has a sloping guide slope 305 at its center, and a water outlet 306 at its center. A sealing plug 307 is installed inside the water outlet 306. Multiple sets of water passage holes 308 communicating with the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 are evenly opened on the inner side of the bottom of the side ice-filling cavity 302. Through the design of the sloping guide slope 305 and the water outlet 306, the water accumulated after the ice in the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 is easily discharged, avoiding water from soaking the food and ensuring the quality of the food. The sealing plug 307 can flexibly control the drainage and prevent water from flowing out randomly during transportation and affecting the operation of the device. The side ice-filling cavity 302 and the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 are connected through the water passage holes 308, which allows the water from the melting ice in the side and bottom to circulate with each other, ensuring that the water is discharged in a concentrated manner.
[0025] A partition frame 309 is provided above the bottom ice-filling cavity 304. A partition plate 310 is fitted inside the partition frame 309 to separate the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 from the side ice-filling cavity 302. The bottom ice-filling cavity 304 is separated by the partition plate 310 and food is placed in it. Before use, the partition plate 310 can be disassembled so that ice can be filled into the bottom ice-filling cavity 304.
[0026] The top of each side ice filling cavity 302 is provided with an ice filling port, and a sealing cover strip 303 is provided above each ice filling port. Ice can be added to the side ice filling cavity 302 before transportation through the ice filling port to ensure the continuity of the cooling effect. The sealing cover strip 303 can tightly seal the ice filling port when no ice is being filled to prevent cold air from leaking out.
[0027] The interior of the insulated storage compartment 201 is equipped with multiple sets of insulation pads 202. The multiple sets of insulation pads 202 are attached to the bottom and four side walls of the insulated storage compartment 201. The insulation pads 202 form an effective heat insulation buffer layer between the outer insulated box 2 and the inner refrigeration box 3, which prolongs the preservation time of food and reduces the conduction of external heat into the interior.
[0028] The intelligent heat preservation cover 4 has a control screen 402 at its center. A battery slot 404 is located on one side of the control screen 402. A battery pack 405 electrically connected to the control screen 402 is located inside the battery slot 404. A battery cover 406 is matched above the battery slot 404. A buzzer 403 is integrated inside the intelligent heat preservation cover 4. A sealing heat preservation pad 401 is attached to the lower end of the intelligent heat preservation cover 4. A temperature sensor (temperature sensor model HC2A-S) electrically connected to the control screen 402 is located at the center of the bottom of the sealing heat preservation pad 401. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature change inside the inner cooling box 3 in real time and transmits the data to the control screen 402. When the temperature exceeds the preset threshold, the buzzer 403 immediately sounds an alarm to promptly remind relevant personnel to take measures to prevent food from spoiling due to abnormal temperature. The battery pack 405 supplies power to the control screen 402, the buzzer 403, and the temperature sensor.
[0029] The surface of the conveyor 1 is provided with positioning grooves 101, and the bottom corners of the conveyor 1 are provided with casters 102. The front end of the conveyor 1 is provided with a pull rod 103. By cooperating with the pull rod 103 and the casters 102, the conveyor 1 can flexibly turn and move conveniently when transporting goods over short distances, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the operators.
[0030] During operation, the staff first opens the outer insulated box 2, removes the inner refrigeration box 3 from the insulated storage compartment 201, removes the partition plate 310 inside the partition frame 309, fills the bottom ice filling cavity 304 with an appropriate amount of ice, and then reinstalls the partition plate 310. Next, the staff opens the sealing cover strip 303 on the top of the side ice filling cavity 302, adds ice to the side ice filling cavity 302 through the ice filling port, and after filling, closes the sealing cover strip 303. The food to be delivered is then placed into the food compartment 301 of the inner refrigeration box 3. Then, the inner refrigeration box 3 is placed back into the insulated storage compartment 201 of the outer insulated box 2, the smart insulation cover 4 is closed, and it is ensured that the battery pack 405 is installed and has sufficient power.
[0031] By pulling the conveyor 1 with the lever 103 at the front end of the conveyor 1, the device can be flexibly moved onto the transport vehicle or delivered directly at close range using the casters 102 at the bottom corner.
[0032] The temperature sensor inside the intelligent insulation cover 4 monitors the temperature changes inside the inner cooling box 3 in real time and transmits the data to the control panel 402. Staff can view the temperature data on the control panel 402 at any time. If the temperature exceeds a preset threshold, the buzzer 403 will immediately sound an alarm to remind relevant personnel to take timely measures.
[0033] After transportation is completed, the water in the side ice-filling cavity 302 enters the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 through the water inlet 308. The water in the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 will flow to the outlet 306 along the inclined guide slope 305. Remove the sealing plug 307 to drain the water. After drainage is completed, re-plug the sealing plug 307 for next use.
[0034] Its working principle is as follows: the outer insulated box 2 and the inner cooling box 3 form a dual structure. The outer insulated box 2 provides initial insulation, reducing the transfer of external heat. The inner cooling box 3 lowers the ambient temperature of the food through ice blocks in the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 and the side ice-filling cavity 302, keeping the food fresh. Multiple sets of insulation pads 202 in the insulated compartment 201 form an effective heat insulation buffer layer between the outer insulated box 2 and the inner cooling box 3, further extending the food preservation time and reducing the conduction of external heat inward. The temperature sensor under the intelligent insulation cover 4 monitors the temperature changes inside the inner cooling box 3 in real time and transmits the data accordingly. Data is transmitted to the control panel 402. When the temperature exceeds the preset threshold, the control panel 402 transmits a signal to the buzzer 403, which immediately sounds an alarm to remind staff to take measures. The inclined guide slope 305 at the bottom of the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 allows the water after the ice melts to flow smoothly to the outlet 306. By controlling the insertion and removal of the sealing plug 307, the water can be flexibly discharged to prevent the water from soaking the food. The side ice-filling cavity 302 and the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 are connected through the water passage 308, allowing the water from the melting ice on the side and bottom to circulate with each other, ensuring that the water is discharged in a concentrated manner.
[0035] Its beneficial effects are significant. This application, through the dual structure of the outer insulated box 2 and the inner refrigeration box 3, combined with the design of the bottom ice-filling cavity 304 and the side ice-filling cavity 302, increases the contact area between the ice and the food, enhancing the insulation and refrigeration effect. Compared with the traditional method of using foam boxes with ice or gel ice packs, it can more effectively maintain the low-temperature environment of the food during transportation and extend the food's freshness time. Traditional foam boxes are often damaged and discarded after one or two uses, resulting in a lot of waste. The outer insulated box 2 and the inner refrigeration box 3 of this utility model are made of durable materials and can be reused, greatly reducing resource waste and lowering the cost of use. Through the intelligent insulation cover 4, it integrates... The temperature sensor and buzzer 403 can monitor the temperature changes inside the inner refrigeration box 3 in real time. When the temperature exceeds the preset threshold, an alarm will be issued in time. Compared with traditional devices that cannot promptly remind and respond to temperature changes, this can effectively prevent food spoilage due to abnormal temperature, ensuring the safety and freshness of the food. The design of the conveyor trolley 1, combined with the pull rod 103 and universal wheels 102, makes the conveyor flexible and convenient to move during short-distance transportation, reducing the labor intensity of operators. The reasonable structural design of the ice filling port, sealing cover strip 303, and sealing plug 307 facilitates ice filling and drainage operations before and after transportation, improving work efficiency.
