[0027] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-8 As shown, a food cart with a rainproof serving opening includes a cart body 1 and a chute 2 formed inside the cart above its serving opening. A shield 3 is slidably connected inside the chute 2. Limiting blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides behind the shield 3, and the height of the limiting blocks 10 is greater than the height of the chute 2. The limiting blocks 10 prevent the shield 3 from falling out of the chute 2 during sliding, thus ensuring the stability of the shield 3 during sliding. Flip plates 4 are hinged to the left and right sides of the bottom of the shield 3. The part is provided with a limiting structure 5 to prevent the flap 4 from detaching. The limiting structure 5 includes an inner groove 51 opened inside the flap 4. A limiting plate 52 is slidably connected inside the inner groove 51. A connecting block 54 is fixedly connected to the surface of the limiting plate 52. A spring 53 is provided inside the inner groove 51. The two ends of the spring 53 are fixed to the top of the inner groove 51 and the top of the limiting plate 52, respectively. A limiting groove 56 is opened on the surface of the flap 4. The connecting block 54 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 56. A through groove 55 is opened at the bottom of the limiting groove 56.
[0029] With the setting of the limiting structure 5, when the operator pulls out the cover plate 3, the operator can place their hand inside the through groove 55 and then push the connecting block 54. At this time, the connecting block 54 drives the limiting plate 52 to slide inside the inner groove 51. When one end of the limiting plate 52 is disengaged from the inside of the cover plate 3, the limiting of the flip plate 4 can be released. Due to inertia, the flip plate 4 will flip out from the bottom of the cover plate 3, thereby blocking the rainwater on the left and right sides of the food cart body 1. If the operator needs to retract the flip plate 4, they can push the connecting block 54 again and push the flip plate 4. When the flip plate 4 flips into the inside of the cover plate 3, the connecting block 54 can be released. The elastic force of the spring 53 will drive the limiting plate 52 to move into the interior of the shield 3. When one end of the limiting plate 52 contacts the inner wall of the bottom of the shield 3, the force applied to the flip plate 4 will stop. At this time, the flip plate 4 will be fixed to the bottom of the shield 3. One end of the shield 3 is provided with an extension structure 6 that can improve the shielding effect on the food pick-up opening. The extension structure 6 includes a winding box 61 fixedly connected to the front of the shield 3. A winding roller 64 is rotatably connected inside the winding box 61. A rainproof cloth 62 is wrapped around the surface of the winding roller 64. Hooks 8 are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the rainproof cloth 62. A through hole 9 is opened at the bottom of the flip plate 4 to cooperate with the hooks 8.
[0030] With this configuration, when the rainproof cloth 62 is unfolded to the designated position, the operator can hook the hook 8 onto the through hole 9 at the bottom of the flap 4, thereby fixing the rainproof cloth 62 onto the flap 4 and forming a complete rainproof barrier with the rainproof cloth 62, the shield 3, and the flap 4, thus preventing the rainproof cloth 62 from loosening and causing rainwater to seep in. Both ends of the rewind roller 64 are equipped with spring-loaded springs 63. Through the extension structure 6, the rainproof cloth 62 can be pulled out from the rewind box 61 to cover the front of the food pick-up opening, thereby blocking rainwater from the front of the food pick-up opening of the food cart body 1. The spring-loaded springs 63 provide rebound force, automatically retracting the rainproof cloth 62 into the rewind box 61 when not in use for easy storage. The surface of the food cart body 1 is provided with… An anti-detachment structure 7 is provided to facilitate the fixed support of the pulled-out cover plate 3. The anti-detachment structure 7 includes omnidirectional wheels 71 set on the left and right sides of the bottom front of the food cart body 1. The omnidirectional wheels 71 are equipped with support rods 72. The left and right sides of the top front of the food cart body 1 are fixedly connected to first limiting frames 73. The left and right sides of the cover plate 3 are fixedly connected to second limiting frames 74. With the setting of the anti-detachment structure 7, when the cover plate 3 is moved to the designated position, the operator can pull out the support rods 72 from the first limiting frames 73 and then place the support rods 72 inside the second limiting frames 74 to support the bottom of the cover plate 3, thereby preventing the cover plate 3 from sagging due to its own weight or external force.
[0031] Working principle: When it rains, the operator can pull the cover plate 3 forward along the slide 2 until the cover plate 3 covers the top area of the food pick-up opening of the food cart body 1. Then, the support rod 72 is pulled out from the first limiting frame 73 and placed inside the second limiting frame 74 to support the bottom of the cover plate 3, thereby preventing the cover plate 3 from sagging due to its own weight or external force. After that, the operator can place their hands inside the through groove 55 and push the connecting block 54. At this time, the connection... The connecting block 54 drives the limiting plate 52 to slide inside the inner groove 51. When one end of the limiting plate 52 disengages from the inside of the cover plate 3, the limiting of the flip plate 4 can be released. Due to inertia, the flip plate 4 will flip out from the bottom of the cover plate 3, thereby blocking the rainwater on the left and right sides of the food cart body 1. Then, the rainproof cloth 62 is pulled out from the take-up box 61. Since the rainproof cloth 62 is connected to the take-up roller 64, the spring 63 stores force when it is pulled out, and hooks the hook 8 at the bottom of the rainproof cloth 62 onto the bottom of the flip plate 4. The through-hole 9 allows the rainproof cloth 62, the cover plate 3, and the flip plate 4 to form a complete rainproof barrier, thereby providing multi-directional protection for the food pick-up opening of the food cart body 1 and preventing rainwater from entering the pick-up opening. After the rain stops, the operator can unhook the hook 8 at the bottom of the rainproof cloth 62, and the spring 63 will rebound, causing the rainproof cloth 62 to automatically retract into the roll-up box 61. Then, the operator can push the connecting block 54 again and push the flip plate 4. When the flip plate 4 flips into the interior of the cover plate 3, the connecting block 54 can be released. 4. Due to the elastic force of the spring 53, the limiting plate 52 moves into the interior of the baffle plate 3. When one end of the limiting plate 52 contacts the inner wall of the bottom of the baffle plate 3, the force applied to the flip plate 4 stops. At this time, the flip plate 4 is fixed to the bottom of the baffle plate 3. Then, the support rod 72 is taken out from the second limiting frame 74 and placed inside the first limiting frame 73 to complete the storage of the support rod 72. Finally, the baffle plate 3 is slid backward along the slide groove 2 and retracted to the initial position.
