Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food cart technology, and in particular to an insulated food cart. Background Technology

[0002] Meal carts are used to deliver meals prepared in advance by kitchen staff, which are then packaged into trays or in set meals. The packaged meal boxes are placed on the trays of the delivery cart and transported to a designated location for sale or distribution. They are often used for transporting and selling boxed meals in public areas such as trains, hospitals, schools, and construction sites, providing convenience for people's lives.

[0003] Existing insulated food carts do not keep food warm effectively. In places such as hospitals and nursing homes, medical staff often need to eat at specific times. When transporting food from the canteen to the medical staff, the food may be cold by the time it arrives due to the long distance or the long time the food is left in the food containers during treatment. This affects the taste experience and nutrient absorption of the diners.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an insulated food cart to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0011] The above technical solution filters the air through the filter screen on the drawer cover. The filtered dust remains inside the pull-out drawer and is then cleaned after accumulating for a period of time through the pull-out drawer.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a fan is fixedly installed at the top of the drawer protective cover, a heater is fixedly installed at the bottom of the dining car body, and a power supply is fixedly installed on one side of the fan protective cover.

[0013] The above technical solution involves installing a fan to draw air into the fan protective cover, a heater to heat the air inside the fan protective cover, and a power supply to provide power to the fan and heater.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the installation mechanism includes four universal wheels fixed to the bottom of the food cart body, and corner protection strips are fixedly installed on the outside of the food cart body.

[0015] With the above technical solution, the food cart body moves by means of casters, and the corner protection strips protect the corners of the food cart body.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: a folding storage board is fixedly installed on one side of the food cart body, an accessory cabinet is fixedly installed on the other side of the food cart body, and a power cord storage box is fixedly installed on the other side of the food cart body.

[0017] Through the above technical solutions, the folding storage board facilitates the folding and placement of food cart trays, the accessory cabinet is used to store items such as chopsticks and soup spoons, and the power cord storage box stores the power cords.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that: an intelligent temperature control module is fixedly installed on the other side of the food cart body, and a food cart tray is slidably installed inside the food cart body.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the intelligent temperature control module prevents the heater from overheating and causing risks, and the food cart tray is used to place boxed food.
