[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, a food cart with temperature control function includes a food cart body 1. A storage box 2 for holding food trays is fixedly connected inside the food cart body 1. A heating pipe 19 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box 2, and the heating pipe 19 is located in the water source of the storage box 2. This allows the heat generated from heating the water to keep the food trays warm. A perforated plate 3 is fixedly connected inside the storage box 2, and a fixing plate 4 is also fixedly connected inside the storage box 2, located above the perforated plate 3. An L-shaped plate 5 is slidably connected to one side of the top of the fixing plate 4. Second T-shaped grooves 12 are formed on both the upper and lower sides of one side of the L-shaped plate 5. Second T-shaped blocks 13 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the second T-shaped grooves 12. 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide plate 7, thereby improving the stability of the slide plate 7 when it moves. Both sides of the surface of the L-shaped plate 5 are provided with a fixing structure 6. The fixing structure 6 includes a movable rod 61 that is slidably connected inside the L-shaped plate 5. A disc 62 is rotatably connected through the surface of the movable rod 61. The disc 62 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the L-shaped plate 5. The bottom of both sides of the surface of the movable rod 61 is fixedly connected with a locking block 64. A spring 63 is sleeved on the surface of the movable rod 61. The two ends of the spring 63 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the disc 62 and the top of the locking block 64, respectively. Several slots 65 are opened on one side of the surface of the fixing plate 4 and one side of the surface of the horizontal plate 16. The locking block 64 and the slot 65 are used in conjunction.

[0027] When the L-shaped plate 5 and the horizontal plate 16 move, the operator can pull the movable rod 61 upwards, causing the locking block 64 to disengage from the slot 65. As the locking block 64 continues to move upwards, it will be positioned inside the limiting chuck. Then, the movable rod 61 is rotated, causing the locking block 64 to rotate as well, so that the locking block 64 screws into the limiting chuck. Subsequently, the L-shaped plate 5 and the horizontal plate 16 are moved. After moving to the designated position, the movable rod 61 can be reversed again, allowing the locking block 64 to disengage from the limiting chuck. At this point, the elastic force of the spring 63 can re-engage the locking block 64. 4. Insert into the slot 65 to fix the moved L-shaped plate 5 and the horizontal plate 16. The horizontal plate 16 is slidably connected inside the L-shaped plate 5. The slide plate 7 is slidably connected to one side of the L-shaped plate 5. The baffle 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the slide plate 7. The upper and lower sides of one side of the baffle 8 are provided with third T-shaped grooves 14. The inner wall of the third T-shaped groove 14 is slidably connected to a third T-shaped block 15. The third T-shaped block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the extension plate 9. When the extension plate 9 moves, it prevents the extension plate 9 from sliding excessively from one side of the baffle 8 and falling off. The extension plate 9 is slidably connected to one side of the baffle 8.

[0028] Both sides of the surface of the fixed plate 4 are provided with a first T-shaped groove 10. The inner wall of the first T-shaped groove 10 is slidably connected to a first T-shaped block 11. The first T-shaped block 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 5. When the L-shaped plate 5 moves, it can guide the L-shaped plate 5.

[0029] A groove 17 is provided on one side of the L-shaped plate 5. A slider 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 17. The slider 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal plate 16. When the horizontal plate 16 moves, the stability of the horizontal plate 16 can be improved.

[0030] Working Principle: When staff use the food cart body 1 to heat the food, they can separate the hot and cold dishes by placing them in the placement box 2. First, the staff needs to place the cold dishes in adjacent positions. Then, the staff adjusts the position of the cold dishes by pulling the movable rod 61 upwards, causing the locking block 64 to disengage from the slot 65. As the locking block 64 continues to move upwards, it will be located inside the limiting chuck. Then, the staff rotates the movable rod 61, which will cause the locking block 64 to rotate as well, causing it to screw into the limiting chuck. This releases the limiting fixation of the L-shaped plate 5 and the horizontal plate 16. The staff can then push the L-shaped plate 5. When the L-shaped plate 5 moves, it will cause the sliding plate 7 and the horizontal plate 16 to move together. The staff can adjust the left and right positions. After adjustment, the staff needs to push the slide plate 7 and the horizontal plate 16 to adjust the front and back positions. When the slide plate 7 moves, it will drive the baffle 8 and the extension plate 9 to move together. After the movement is completed, the staff needs to move the extension plate 9 according to the distance the L-shaped plate 5 has moved. After the movement is completed, the staff needs to reverse the movable rod 61 again so that the locking block 64 can disengage from the limiting chuck. At this time, through the elastic force of the spring 63, the locking block 64 can be driven back into the slot 65, so that the moved L-shaped plate 5 and the horizontal plate 16 can be limited and fixed. Then the staff pours water into the placement box 2 and turns on the heating tube 19 to heat it. The hot air generated during heating will be heated upward through the round hole plate 3 to heat the dishes in sections, while the cold dish area will be blocked.
