Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen shelf technology, and in particular to a kitchen semi-finished product shelf with drip-drip drainage. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional canteen kitchens often face numerous challenges, such as uncontrollable water flow, stagnant water breeding bacteria, and slippery floors posing a risk of falling. These challenges not only threaten food safety but also place a heavy burden on daily cleaning and staff safety. The kitchen's semi-finished product shelves are used to place washed raw food ingredients. When the ingredients are placed on the shelves, the washing water drips down the shelves onto the floor.

[0003] To solve the problem of dripping water from shelves, existing technologies modify the equipment by adding a 1-3cm overflow-proof edge to the shelf surface, tilting the surface, and installing drainage holes. This allows the washing water on the surface of semi-finished raw materials to be collected and drained into the drainage system. However, during use, since the slope of the shelf surface is fixed once it leaves the factory, it cannot be adjusted according to actual conditions in daily use. For example, when there are many semi-finished products on the shelf, the slope cannot be increased. In this case, the washing water on the surface of the semi-finished products collects slowly because the slope cannot be increased, making it easy for washing water to remain on the shelf and causing splashing when handling raw materials.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1The present invention provides a drip-guided kitchen semi-finished product rack, which consists of multiple support legs 1, multiple rack units and multiple lifting mechanisms 5, wherein the rack unit includes a rack frame 2, two side panels 21, a countertop 3 and a front panel 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, multiple support legs 1 provide stable support, and multiple shelf units are arranged continuously and at equal intervals between the support legs 1 to form a multi-layer storage space.

[0036] It should be noted that each shelf frame 2 has two opposing side baffles 21 and a movable front baffle 4 on its inner side. The side baffles 21 are used to cooperate with the table panel 3 to close the space on both sides, and the front baffle 4 is used to cooperate with the table panel 3 to close the end position. The front baffle 4 is connected to the shelf frame 2 by a spring 44 and can fit tightly against the surface of the table panel 3.

[0037] One end of the tabletop 3 is rotatably connected to the shelf frame 2, and its tilt angle can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism 5.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the two sides of the table panel 3 are provided with first sealing strips 33, which are closely attached to the side baffles 21, so that while the table panel 3 is adjusted inclination relative to the horizontal plane, its two sides can maintain a sealed connection through the first sealing strips 33 and the side baffles 21.

[0039] More specifically, the end of the first sealing strip 33 that contacts the side baffle 21 is subdivided into multiple arc-shaped protrusions, which enables the tabletop 3 to still achieve a good sealing effect when it swings at an arc angle.

[0040] Furthermore, the first sealing strip 33 is detachably connected to the tabletop 3 via a T-slot, preventing it from losing its sealing effect after prolonged use and facilitating replacement.

[0041] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 8 A groove 41 is provided on one side of the front baffle 4. The groove 41 slides in cooperation with the slide plate 23 on the inner side of the shelf frame 2, so that the front baffle 4 can slide vertically relative to the shelf frame 2.

[0042] On the other side of the front baffle 4, there is an insert block 43 that is inserted into the insertion hole 24 on the bottom surface of the shelf frame 2. A spring 44 is provided in the insertion hole 24. One end of the spring 44 is connected to the top wall of the insertion hole 24, and the other end is connected to the insert block 43, providing elasticity to make the front baffle 4 tightly abut against the surface of the table panel 3, so that the front baffle 4 adaptively abuts against the end face of the table panel 3 after adjustment.

[0043] Meanwhile, the bottom of the baffle 4 is provided with a water-blocking strip 42, whose vertical cross section is semi-circular arc, which can ensure that it has a good sealing effect with the tabletop 3 under different contact angles.

[0044] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, one end of the table panel 3 is provided with multiple mounting seats 31, and a rotating shaft 32 is connected between adjacent mounting seats 31. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the bushing 22 on the lower surface of one side of the shelf frame 2, so that the table panel 3 can swing around the rotating shaft 32, thereby adjusting its tilt angle.

[0045] The two sides of the front baffle 4 are provided with second sealing strips 45, which are also closely attached to the side baffle 21 to further improve the sealing effect. Since the movement trajectory of the front baffle 4 relative to the side baffle 21 is vertical, the second sealing strip 45 can be a flat sealing strip.

[0046] Example 2: In this example, one end of the tabletop 3 is hinged to the shelf frame 2 via a hinge seat, so that the tilt angle of the tabletop 3 can be adjusted. The shape of the tabletop 3 covers the cross-section of the shelf frame 2, and an elastic seal is provided between the tabletop 3 and the shelf frame 2 to keep the tabletop 3 sealed when it rotates relative to the shelf frame 2.

[0047] The elastic seals used can be corrugated metal or natural rubber.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 5 is disposed between the two side baffles 21 and is used to adjust the height of one side of the platform 3, thereby adjusting its tilt slope. The lifting mechanism 5 includes a lifting rod 51, a screw 53 and a mounting plate 52. The mounting plate 52 is disposed on the side of the side baffle 21 facing the shelf frame 2 and has a threaded hole. The screw 53 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 52.

[0049] Furthermore, the lifting rod 51 and the screw 53 are movably connected at their ends. The top of the screw 53 is rotatably connected to a U-shaped bracket 54, which is fastened to the outside of the lifting rod 51. By rotating the screw 53, the position of the lifting rod 51 can be adjusted, thereby pushing one side of the table panel 3 to achieve the adjustment of the tilt angle, which facilitates the diversion of water.

[0050] In this embodiment, each panel 3 has a drain hole 6 with corresponding upper and lower positions on the side away from the mounting base 31, and the bottom of the panel 3 is provided with a drain pipe 7 communicating with the drain hole 6. The drain pipe 7 corresponds to a drain hole 6 below, which allows the cleaning water of the multi-layer panel 3 to be collected.

[0051] To accommodate the adjustable tilt angle of the countertop 3, the drain pipe 7 can be made of flexible hose so that it hangs naturally to correspond to the position of the drain hole 6.

[0052] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0053] In actual use, depending on the type of food and storage requirements, the screw 53 is rotated, and the screw 53 is threadedly engaged with the mounting plate 52 to lift the bracket 54. The bracket 54 pushes the lifting rod 51 to rise, and the lifting rod 51 moves downward. At this time, the table panel 3 loses the support of the lifting rod 51 below. The spring 44 pushes the plug 43 connected to it downward through its elastic force. Under the pressure of the spring 44, the front baffle 4 squeezes one end of the table panel 3. The table panel 3 swings relative to the shelf frame 2 through the pivot 32 at its end, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the table panel 3. After the adjustment is completed, the table panel 3 and the two sides of the side baffle 21 are still sealed by the first sealing strip 33. The front baffle 4 abuts against the surface of the table panel 3 through the water-blocking strip 42 at its lower end, so that the three sides of the table panel 3 are surrounded to collect the washing water.

[0054] In this document, the directional terms such as front, back, top, and bottom are defined based on the location of the components in the accompanying drawings and their relative positions to each other, solely for the purpose of clarity and convenience in expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that these are relative concepts and can vary depending on the method of use and placement; the use of directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0055] Where there is no conflict, the above embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
