Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hotel management technology, specifically a hotel room service vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In modern hotel management, guest room service carts are an important tool for cleaning staff to carry out guest room cleaning work. However, existing hotel guest room service carts have certain drawbacks in actual use. For example, the connection between the trash can and the cart is not flexible enough. When there is a lot of trash in the room, the large size of the cart makes it inconvenient to enter the room. Cleaning staff need to carry the trash from the room to the trash can on the cart, which is laborious and inefficient. Some carts have detachable portable trash cans, which can be quickly separated from the cart, but this adds unnecessary physical labor for cleaning staff. When there is a lot of heavy trash, cleaning staff need to expend a lot of energy to lift and move the trash can, which is very inconvenient to use.

[0003] Based on this, a hotel room service vehicle is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, a hotel room service cart includes a mobile frame 1 and a trash can 8. The upper surface of the mobile frame 1 is provided with a miscellaneous storage board 5, and the miscellaneous storage board 5 is provided with several storage compartments 6. The side wall of the mobile frame 1 is provided with a storage drawer 7, and the inside of the mobile frame 1 is provided with a supplies storage board 4. A first handle 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mobile frame 1. The trash can 8 is provided at the side wall of the mobile frame 1, and a base plate 11 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the trash can 8. Both the lower surfaces of the mobile frame 1 and the base plate 11 are provided with casters.

[0028] Commonly used items such as gloves and aprons can be placed on the storage board 5 for easy access;

[0029] The miscellaneous storage board 5 is equipped with several storage compartments 6, which can be used to classify and store cleaning tools and supplies.

[0030] The supplies storage board 4 can be used to place towels, bath towels, etc. that need to be changed in the guest rooms.

[0031] In one embodiment, the mobile frame 1 is provided with a sewage plate 2 and a drain plate 3, with the sewage plate 2 located below the drain plate 3, and the drain plate 3 having a plurality of drain holes.

[0032] The drain board 3 can hold damp bath towels and other items used by the previous batch of users. Some sewage can drip from the drain holes of the drain board 3 into the sewage board 2, which will facilitate the centralized treatment of sewage later.

[0033] In one embodiment, a limiting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mobile frame 1. The limiting rod 9 limits the movement of the trash can 8.

[0034] In one embodiment, a limiting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mobile frame 1, a hook groove 18 is provided on the upper surface of the mobile frame 1, two symmetrical mounting plates 15 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the base plate 11, the mounting plates 15 are connected to a rotating shaft 17 through a bearing, the rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to a hook 16, the hook 16 is engaged with the hook groove 18, and a limiting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 15.

[0035] The limiting plate 19 can limit the rotation angle of the hook 16.

[0036] When there is a lot of trash in the room, the cleaner can step on the pedal 12 to lift the trash can 8 at a certain angle. At this time, the hook 16 is released from the hook groove 18, and the trash can 8 can be pulled out directly. With the help of the casters, the trash can 8 can be pushed into the room to clean up the trash. There is no need to take a large amount of trash out of the room and put it into the trash can in the service cart. It is more convenient to use and less strenuous to transport trash from the room.

[0037] When the garbage is collected, simply push the garbage can 8 back to the service vehicle position and push the garbage can 8 directly into the limiting rod 9 and the limiting frame 10. The limiting rod 9 and the limiting frame 10 can prevent the garbage can 8 from tipping over or shifting its position during the process of pushing the service vehicle. As the garbage can 8 enters the limiting rod 9 and the limiting frame 10, the hook 16 contacts the limiting frame 10 and rotates. When the hook 16 is above the hook groove 18, the hook 16 rotates back to its original position under the action of the coil spring and engages with the hook groove 18. This allows for quick connection between the garbage can 8 and the mobile frame 1, making it convenient to use.

[0038] In one embodiment, a coil spring is provided between the rotating shaft 17 and the mounting plate 15.

[0039] Hook 16 rotates and resets under the action of the coil spring.

[0040] In one embodiment, the sidewall of hook 16 is chamfered.

[0041] This makes the connection between hook 16 and hook groove 18 smoother.

[0042] In one embodiment, a footboard 12 is provided on the side wall of the base plate 11, and a first handle 13 is provided on the side wall of the trash can 8.

[0043] The foot pedal 12 makes it easy for cleaners to step on it and tilt the trash can 8.

[0044] The above embodiments disclose a hotel room service vehicle, the specific working principle and process of which are as follows:

[0045] Commonly used items such as gloves and aprons can be placed on the storage board 5 for easy access;

[0046] The miscellaneous storage board 5 is equipped with several storage compartments 6, which can be used to classify and store cleaning tools and supplies.

[0047] The supplies storage board 4 can be used to place towels, bath towels, etc. that need to be changed in the guest rooms;

[0048] The drain board 3 can hold damp bath towels and other items used by users. Some wastewater can drip from the drain holes of the drain board 3 into the wastewater board 2, which will facilitate the centralized treatment of wastewater later.

[0049] When there is a lot of trash in the room, the cleaner can step on the pedal 12 to lift the trash can 8 at a certain angle. At this time, the hook 16 is released from the hook groove 18, and the trash can 8 can be pulled out directly. With the help of the casters, the trash can 8 can be pushed into the room to clean up the trash. There is no need to take a large amount of trash out of the room and put it into the trash can in the service vehicle. It is more convenient to use and less strenuous to transport trash from the room.

[0050] When the garbage is collected, simply push the garbage can 8 back to the service vehicle position and push the garbage can 8 directly into the limiting rod 9 and the limiting frame 10. The limiting rod 9 and the limiting frame 10 can prevent the garbage can 8 from tipping over or shifting its position during the process of pushing the service vehicle. As the garbage can 8 enters the limiting rod 9 and the limiting frame 10, the hook 16 contacts the limiting frame 10 and rotates. When the hook 16 is above the hook groove 18, the hook 16 rotates back to its original position under the action of the coil spring and engages with the hook groove 18. This allows for quick connection between the garbage can 8 and the mobile frame 1, making it convenient to use.

[0051] When the cleaner pushes the mobile cart 1, the trash can 8 will not detach from the mobile cart 1 due to the limiting rod 9 and the trash can 10.

[0052] When the cleaner pulls the mobile frame 1, the trash can 8 will not detach from the mobile frame 1 because the hook 16 is hooked in the hook groove 18.

[0053] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
