Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of buffet display technology, and in particular relates to a rotating buffet display. Background Technology
[0002] A buffet, in essence, is a meal where no main course is prepared. Instead, diners freely choose their own food and drinks, and can then eat standing or sitting, either with others or alone. The reason it's called a buffet is because it encourages diners to take initiative, helping themselves by selecting their own food within a set menu. It's also sometimes called a cold buffet because it primarily offers cold dishes, with a few hot dishes or semi-finished products for diners to prepare themselves. Revolving hot pot buffets, for example, continuously rotate the food, allowing diners to access different items without getting up, increasing convenience.
[0003] In existing rotating hot pot buffets, since most of the ingredients are placed on plates on a rotating rack without being fixed in place, some diners may accidentally knock the plates off, wasting food. At the same time, the fumes generated during the cooking process can affect diners' vision, especially those who wear glasses. Utility Model Content

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0018] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a rotating buffet rack according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rack body 1, a turntable rack assembly 2, a limiting assembly 3, a resetting assembly 4, and an exhaust assembly 5. The turntable rack assembly 2 is installed inside the rack body 1. The limiting assembly 3 includes a mounting post 31, a support frame 32 fixedly connected to the end face of the mounting post 31, a rotating rod 33 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 32, a limiting block 34 and a pushing block 35 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 33, and a fixed rod 35 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the pushing block 35 via a fixed rod. Block 36, the end face of the fixed block 36 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 37, the reset assembly 4 includes the mounting plate 41 and the reset spring 42, the exhaust assembly 5 includes the dining table 51, the inner wall of the dining table 51 is fixedly connected to the electromagnetic heating assembly 52, the exhaust pipe 53 and the exhaust motor 56, the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 53 is fixedly connected to several control valves 54, the end face of several control valves 54 is inserted with a dust filter plate 55, the end face of the output shaft of the exhaust motor 56 is fixedly connected to the exhaust fan 57, and the outer wall of the dining table 51 is fixedly connected to the exhaust box 58.
[0020] This utility model provides a rotating buffet rack that, through the setting of limiting component 3 and resetting component 4, can limit and fix the plates holding buffet food, so that when diners take food, the plates will not tip over even if they bump or push them, increasing the safety of the food, avoiding waste, and reducing the cost of buffet food. Through the setting of venting component 5, when diners steam or cook buffet food, the heat generated during steaming or cooking can be absorbed and discharged, reducing interference with diners' vision, especially for diners who wear glasses, thus improving the dining experience.
[0021] In this embodiment of the invention, during use, the plate containing the food for the buffet is placed on the limiting plate 37. Due to the pressure, the limiting plate 37 moves downward, causing the pushing block 35 to rotate. The limiting block 34 rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 33 and clamps the two ends of the plate, thus effectively restricting and fixing it, preventing the plate from tipping over when the diner picks up the food. Then, the turntable rack assembly 2 is powered on, which can rotate the limiting assembly 3 in a cycle, making it easier for the diner to pick up different foods. At the same time, the electromagnetic heating assembly 52 can heat the steamer to steam the food. Since hot air is generated during the steaming process, the exhaust fan motor 56 is powered on to drive the exhaust fan 57. The corresponding control valve 54 can be opened through the control button 502, connecting to the exhaust pipe 53, to absorb and discharge the hot air from the steaming process, thereby reducing interference to the diner.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in a further embodiment of this utility model, the free end of the mounting column 31 is rotatably connected to the turntable rack assembly 2, and the end face of the limiting plate 37 is provided with an anti-slip groove 371. The outer wall of the limiting plate 37 is slidably connected to the support frame 32. This facilitates the installation of the mounting column 31 on the turntable rack assembly 2, thereby making it convenient to place buffet ingredients. When not in use, it is also easy to disassemble and store. Furthermore, the anti-slip groove 371 can increase the frictional resistance of the food placement plate, preventing the plate from moving significantly.
[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the mounting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 37, the end face of the return spring 42 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 41, and the free end of the return spring 42 is fixedly connected to the support frame 32; the return spring 42 applies force to the mounting plate 41 and the limiting plate 37, thereby facilitating the placement of plates for buffet ingredients.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the dining table 51 is fixedly connected to the main body 1 of the display stand, and the outer wall of the dining table 51 is also provided with a fixing groove 501. A control button 502 is also installed on the outer wall of the dining table 51 near the fixing groove 501. The electromagnetic heating component 52 can be used to facilitate the diners to steam or heat the food, thereby increasing the convenience of dining.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in a further embodiment of this utility model, a filter screen is installed on the end face of the exhaust box 58, and a sealing cover is snapped onto the end face of the dining table 51; this can block dust and particulate matter, preventing dust and particulate matter from floating into the dining table 51 and causing damage to the components.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in a further embodiment of this utility model, the dust filter plate 55 has an air inlet on its end face, the outer wall of the dust filter plate 55 is inserted into the dining table 51, and the outer wall of the dining table 51 is also provided with an exhaust hole 503. The exhaust pipe 53 is connected to the exhaust box 58 through the exhaust hole 503. This allows the heat generated by steaming and cooking the buffet food to be absorbed and discharged when diners are eating, reducing interference to diners and making it easier to take the buffet food.
[0027] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
