Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a modified vehicle, and more particularly to a mobile vending vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the night economy and outdoor catering, mobile vending vehicles, as flexible commercial vehicles, have been widely used in night markets, music festivals, campsites, and other scenarios. These mobile, modified vehicles, by integrating refrigeration systems, vending and supply equipment, and simple operating tables, are particularly suitable for providing on-demand food and beverage services, with beverage vending vehicles being one of the most common applications.
[0003] In current technology, mobile beverage vending carts are mostly equipped with disposable plastic cups for customers. This method generates a large amount of non-biodegradable plastic waste, which contradicts the current advocacy of green consumption, and the frequent purchase of consumables significantly increases operating costs. In addition, especially when selling alcoholic beverages such as draft beer, the poor light transmittance and insufficient rigidity of disposable plastic cups fail to fully showcase the visual appeal of the drinks, and also make it difficult for consumers to perform the crisp clinking action characteristic of traditional glass glasses, thus weakening the ritual and interactive fun of drinking beverages and resulting in a poor consumer experience. If glass cups are used, the used beverage cups must be temporarily stored on the cart's storage rack and transported to a designated cleaning area after business hours. Delayed cleaning allows bacteria to easily grow on the surface of the beverage cups in a humid and hot environment, further affecting the hygiene conditions of the storage space inside the beverage cart and posing significant hygiene and safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a mobile vending cart that can realize instant cleaning of beverage cups.
[0005] A mobile vending vehicle includes a vehicle body with an outward-opening door on one side. The vehicle compartment is divided into an internal refrigerated storage area and an external sales and display area, which is connected to the outward-opening door. The refrigerated storage area includes an insulated compartment containing beverage containers. The sales and display area has a beverage tap, a worktable below the tap, a fresh water tap on one side, a floor drain on the worktable, a fresh water tank, a wastewater tank, and a water pump connected to the fresh water tank and tap via water pipes below the worktable. The floor drain is connected to the wastewater tank. A switchable drain pipe is located below the fresh water tank, and a switchable sewage pipe is located below the wastewater tank. The drain pipe and sewage pipe extend through the bottom of the vehicle body. A water inlet is located on the side wall of the vehicle body, and the fresh water tank is connected to the water inlet.
[0006] When in use, simply turn on the water tap, and the water pump will pump water from the clean water tank into the tap to wash the beverage cups. Wastewater from washing the cups flows into the wastewater tank through the floor drain on the work surface. By including the water tap, floor drain, clean water tank, water pump, and wastewater tank, the system meets the mobile vending cart's need for cleaning glass beverage cups, enabling immediate washing after use. This prevents bacteria growth on used cups and allows for centralized collection of wastewater for subsequent treatment, maintaining environmental hygiene. The inclusion of drain pipes, sewage pipes, and water inlets allows for convenient and quick filling and emptying of the clean water and wastewater tanks without requiring them to be removed.
