[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-8This utility model provides an embodiment of a food ingredient delivery and preservation device for catering, including a base plate 1; it also includes a preservation box 21 and a disassembly assembly. The preservation box 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A cabinet door 22 is rotatably connected to the front of the preservation box 21. A rack 23 is fixedly connected inside the preservation box 21. A sliding box 24 is slidably connected to the rack 23. A lever 25 is rotatably connected inside the sliding box 24. A moving plate 26 is slidably connected inside the lever 25. An installation box 27 is fixedly connected inside the rack 23. Connecting seats 214 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rack 23. A double-ended gear 213 is rotatably connected inside the sliding box 24 and meshes with the rack 23. A spring 210 is fixedly connected to the inside of the installation box 27. A ratchet block 211 is fixedly connected to one side of the spring 210. A ratchet wheel 212 is fixedly connected inside the installation box 27 and is fixedly connected to the double-ended gear 213. An eccentric block 29 is rotatably connected inside the box 27. One end of the eccentric block 29 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 28. When the storage box 33 for placing food is too high, the lever 25 is moved, causing the moving plate 26 to slide within the rack 23. At this time, the moving plate 26 will cause the rotating plate 28 to deflect to one side. The deflection of the rotating plate 28 will cause the eccentric block 29 to deflect towards a set of ratchet blocks 211 and cooperate with the spring 210 to disengage the ratchet blocks 211 from the ratchet wheel 212. At this time, the sliding box 24 is moved, causing the double-headed gears 213 in the connecting seats 214 at both ends of the sliding box 24 to move on the cabinet door 22. At the same time, the double-headed gears 213 drive the ratchet wheel 212 to rotate under the restriction of the spring 210 and the ratchet blocks 211. When the adjustment is to the appropriate position, the lever 25 is moved back to the middle position, so that the two sets of ratchet blocks 211, under the push of the spring 210, restrict the ratchet wheel 212 again, thereby fixing the adjustment position.

[0025] Please see Figure 2-7 In this embodiment, when the eccentric block 29 approaches the spring 210 and the ratchet block 211, the ratchet 212 will be restricted by another set of springs 210 and ratchet blocks 211. The presence of springs 210 facilitates the pushing of the ratchet blocks 211 to restrict the ratchet 212. A through hole is provided on the double-ended gear 213, and the connecting seat 214 is rotatably connected to the double-ended gear 213 through the through hole. The double-ended gear 213 facilitates the movement of the sliding box 24 in conjunction with the cabinet door 22. A sliding groove is provided inside the rack 23. The movable plate 26 is slidably connected to the rack 23 via a slide groove. The rack 23 provides a mounting base for other components. The mounting box 27 has a through hole, through which the ratchet block 211 is rotatably connected. The ratchet block 211 helps to restrict the ratchet 212. The rotating plate 28 has a slide groove, through which the movable plate 26 is slidably connected. The rotating plate 28 helps to drive the eccentric block 29 to restrict the ratchet block 211.

[0026] Please see Figure 8In this embodiment, the disassembly assembly includes a rectangular frame 31, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rack 23. A hole placement plate 32 is slidably connected to the rectangular frame 31, and a storage box 33 is provided on the top of the hole placement plate 32. The hole placement plate 32 provides space for the storage box 33.

[0027] During operation, when the storage box 33 containing the ingredients is too high, the lever 25 is activated, causing the moving plate 26 to slide within the rack 23. This causes the moving plate 26 to rotate the rotating plate 28 to one side. The rotation of the rotating plate 28 causes the eccentric block 29 to deflect towards a set of ratchet blocks 211, and the spring 210 disengages the ratchet blocks 211 from the ratchet wheel 212. At this time, the sliding box 24 is moved, causing the double-headed gears 213 within the connecting seats 214 at both ends of the sliding box 24 to move on the cabinet door 22. Meanwhile, the double-headed gear 213 drives the ratchet 212 to rotate under the restriction of the spring 210 and the ratchet block 211. When the adjustment is in the appropriate position, the lever 25 is moved back to the middle position, so that the two sets of ratchet blocks 211, under the push of the spring 210, restrict the ratchet 212 again, thereby fixing the adjustment position. Then, the storage boxes 33 of different specifications are placed on the top of the drain hole placement plate 32. By removing the drain hole placement plate 32 from the rectangular frame 31, the drain hole placement plate 32 can be cleaned.

[0028] Through the above steps, by moving the lever 25, the moving plate 26 slides within the rack 23, thereby causing the rotating plate 28 to deflect. The rotating plate 28 causes the eccentric block 29 to deflect towards a set of ratchet blocks 211, which, in conjunction with the spring 210, disengages the ratchet blocks 211 from the ratchet wheel 212. At this time, the sliding box 24 is moved, and the double-headed gears 213 within the connecting seats 214 at both ends of the sliding box 24 move on the cabinet door 22, simultaneously causing the ratchet wheel 212 to rotate (restricted by the spring 210 and the ratchet blocks 211). After adjusting to the appropriate position, the lever 25 is moved back to the center, and the two sets of ratchet blocks 211, pushed by the spring 210, re-restrict the ratchet wheel 212, fixing its position. This design can be adjusted according to the size of the storage box 33, offering high flexibility and improving space utilization.
