Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pallet technology, and in particular to an integrated pallet. Background Technology
[0002] The trays currently used in the catering industry are generally one-piece trays, with only one fixed structure. When soup or sauce spills, it collects directly on the surface of the tray, making it difficult to handle. This can actually hinder work during busy periods. Although some trays have a double-layer structure, the drip tray and the serving compartment are often connected by threads, requiring multiple rotations for disassembly and assembly. This also makes it easy for dirt to remain during cleaning. Furthermore, this type of design lacks a good structure to hold the cutlery in place, meaning that cutlery can only sit on the surface of the tray most of the time. If there is soup or other liquid on the tray, it is difficult to drain and can also damage the cutlery. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated tray. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the deficiencies in the existing technology by proposing an integrated tray.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An integrated tray includes: a serving rack located at the top, the bottom of the serving rack having at least one drainage hole, and the edge of the drainage hole having several inclined guide grooves.
[0006] The drip tray is connected to the bottom of the serving rack via a snap-fit mechanism.
[0007] A flow guide cavity is formed between the serving rack and the drip tray, and the top edge of the drip tray extends upward to form a splash-proof edging.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper edge of the dining rack is symmetrically provided with silicone anti-slip strips, the silicone anti-slip strips have a wavy structure, and the inside of the silicone anti-slip strips is symmetrically provided with spring-loaded hooks.
[0009] Furthermore, the spring hook includes a spring rod that passes through the silicone anti-slip strip. The two ends of the spring rod are respectively provided with a pressing cover and a hook plate. The hook plate has a circular structure. A locking spring that cooperates with the spring rod is provided between the pressing cover and the side wall of the silicone anti-slip strip.
[0010] Furthermore, the two pressing covers have linkage grooves on the side away from the spring rod, and linkage plates are provided in the two linkage grooves. The bottom wall of the linkage groove is provided with spring protrusions that cooperate with the linkage plates.
[0011] Furthermore, the drain hole is provided with a buoyancy plate and a sealing frame that cooperate with it, and the bottom end of the buoyancy plate is provided with a buoyancy telescopic rod that cooperates with the sealing frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the buckle structure includes a semi-circular buckle located at the bottom of the serving rack and a stepped groove formed at the bottom of the drip tray. The semi-circular buckle and the stepped groove are interference-fitted, and the interior of the stepped groove is provided with a clamping washer that cooperates with the semi-circular buckle.
[0013] Furthermore, the water receiving tray is provided with negative pressure suction cups at the four corners of its bottom, and a ventilation column is provided at the center of the suction cups.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 An integrated tray includes: a serving rack 1 located at the top, the bottom of the serving rack 1 having at least one drainage hole 11, and the edge of the drainage hole 11 having several inclined guide grooves.
[0025] The drip tray 2 is connected to the bottom of the serving rack 1 via a snap-fit structure 3;
[0026] A flow guiding cavity 4 is formed between the serving rack 1 and the drip tray 2. The top edge of the drip tray 2 extends upward to form a splash guard 21. In one specific embodiment, the serving rack 1 is made of food-grade PP plastic injection molding, and a drainage hole 11 is provided in the middle of its bottom plate. The drip tray 2 is vertically installed below the serving rack through four sets of buckle structures 3. The distance between the two forms the flow guiding cavity 4. The top edge of the drip tray 2 extends upward to form a splash guard 21. When soup overflows from the serving rack 1, the liquid falls vertically through the drainage hole 11 and is dispersed by the lateral space of the flow guiding cavity 4, eventually falling into the bottom of the drip tray 2. The splash guard 21 prevents the liquid from splashing laterally when the tray moves, forming a physical leak-proof barrier.
[0027] The upper edge of the serving rack 1 is symmetrically provided with silicone anti-slip strips 12. The silicone anti-slip strips 12 have a wavy structure, and the interior of the silicone anti-slip strips 12 is symmetrically provided with spring hooks 13. The spring hooks 13 include spring rods 131 that pass through the silicone anti-slip strips 12. The two ends of the spring rods 131 are respectively provided with pressing covers 132 and hook plates 133. The hook plates 133 have a circular structure. A locking spring 134 that cooperates with the spring rod 131 is provided between the pressing covers 132 and the side wall of the silicone anti-slip strips 12. In a specific embodiment, on the upper edge of the serving rack 1... The edge is covered with a wavy silicone anti-slip strip 12. Two sets of symmetrically arranged spring hooks 13 are embedded inside the silicone anti-slip strip 12. Each set includes a spring rod 131 that penetrates the silicone. The two ends of the rod are connected to a pressing cover 132 and a circular hook plate 133, respectively. A locking spring 134 is sleeved on the spring rod 131. Under normal conditions, the hook plate 133 is retracted into the anti-slip strip. When the pressing covers 132 on both sides of the anti-slip strip are pressed, the spring rod 131 compresses the locking spring 134 and pushes the hook plate 133 outward to form a fulcrum for hanging tableware. After the pressure is released, the locking spring 134 rebounds and the hook plate 133 automatically retracts.
[0028] The two pressing covers 132 have a linkage groove 135 on the side away from the spring rod 131. A linkage plate 136 is provided in the two linkage grooves 135. The bottom wall of the linkage groove 135 is provided with a spring protrusion 137 that cooperates with the linkage plate 136. In a specific embodiment, the linkage groove 135 is opened on the inner side of the two pressing covers 132, and the linkage plate 136 is embedded in the groove. A hemispherical spring protrusion 137 is provided at the bottom of the linkage groove 135, and its top contacts the bottom surface of the linkage plate 136. The protrusion has a built-in miniature compression spring. When one pressing cover 132 is pressed down, the linkage plate 136 slides along the linkage groove 135 and transmits pressure to the other pressing cover through the spring protrusion 137 to achieve pressing. The linkage plate 136 makes the hooks on both sides move synchronously.
[0029] The drain hole 11 is provided with a buoyancy plate 14 and a sealing frame 15 that cooperate with it. The bottom end of the buoyancy plate 14 is provided with a buoyancy telescopic rod 16 that cooperates with the sealing frame 15. In a specific embodiment, the buoyancy plate 14 is provided above the drain hole 11, and the buoyancy telescopic rod 16 is connected to the center of the bottom of the plate. The sealing frame 15 is fixed inside the drain hole. When the liquid level in the guide cavity 4 reaches a certain height, the buoyancy plate 14 floats up under the action of buoyancy, which drives the buoyancy telescopic rod 16 to extend, so that the buoyancy plate is separated from the sealing groove of the sealing frame 15, thereby opening the drain hole 11 to accelerate drainage. After the liquid level drops, the buoyancy plate 14 automatically resets and seals.
[0030] The buckle structure 3 includes a semi-circular buckle 31 located at the bottom of the serving rack 1 and a stepped groove 32 formed at the bottom of the drip tray 2. The semi-circular buckle 31 and the stepped groove 32 are interference-fitted. The stepped groove 32 is provided with a clamping washer 33 that mates with the semi-circular buckle 31. In one specific embodiment, a semi-circular buckle 31 is provided at each of the four corners of the bottom of the serving rack 1, and a stepped groove 32 is formed at the corresponding position of the drip tray 2. The stepped groove 32 is embedded with a silicone clamping washer 33. During installation, the semi-circular buckle 31 is pressed vertically into the stepped groove 32. By rotating, the semi-circular buckle 31 with its semi-circular structure comes into contact with the silicone clamping washer 33 and undergoes elastic deformation, generating a radial clamping force. To disassemble, the buckle can be released by rotating in the opposite direction.
[0031] The water receiving tray 2 has negative pressure suction cups 22 at its four bottom corners, and a venting column 221 at the center of each suction cup. In one specific embodiment, pressing the tray causes the edge of the suction cup 22 to first contact the tabletop. As pressure continues to be applied, the central area deforms and expels air, forming a vacuum suction. When lifted, pinching the venting column 221 breaks the negative pressure, allowing for easy separation.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
