Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food warming technology, and more specifically, to a suspended food warming assembly. Background Technology

[0002] As a vital pillar of my country's national economy, the coal industry faces increasingly complex underground working environments as mining progresses deeper. In these challenging conditions, worker meals have become a significant factor hindering safe production. For example, the inability to keep food warm and the lack of dining tables negatively impact workers' dining experience. The lack of suitable dining facilities forces workers to stand or squat in cramped spaces to eat, affecting food hygiene, preventing adequate rest, and potentially causing digestive problems and other health issues. This severely impacts work efficiency and the physical and mental well-being of workers.

[0003] While existing insulated lunch boxes can address the aforementioned issues to some extent, the large number of these boxes poses a significant space-consuming problem. They need to be permanently placed in main aisles, occupying valuable passageway space and hindering normal production and emergency evacuation. Furthermore, due to their fixed location, workers must travel between the work area and the dining area, wasting considerable time and energy and potentially impacting production progress.

[0004] Therefore, a suspended dining heat preservation assembly is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to propose a suspended dining insulation assembly to solve the dining problem for underground workers.

[0006] For the purposes described above, this application provides a suspended dining heat preservation assembly, comprising:

Attached Figure Description

[0019] The above features and technical advantages of this application will become clearer and easier to understand from the following description of its embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the suspended dining heat preservation assembly used in a specific embodiment of this application.

[0021] The attached figures are labeled as follows:

[0022] 1. Insulated box; 2. Dining platform; 3. Dining board; 4. Steamer; 5. Container; 6. Handle. Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings. The terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the suspended dining heat preservation assembly used in a specific embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the suspended dining heat preservation assembly includes a heat preservation box 1 and a dining platform 2.

[0025] The insulated box 1 integrates heat preservation, heating, and cooling functions, and can hold food while providing heat preservation, heating, and cooling functions for the food.

[0026] The dining platform 2 is connected to the insulated box 1, for example, by welding or by fixing bolts. The dining platform 2 is provided with a connecting part and is assembled to a designated position on the hydraulic support through the connecting part. Typically, the dining platform 2 is located opposite the insulated box 1. The dining platform 2 has a flat surface and is assembled to a designated position on the hydraulic support, such as the front column, through the connecting part.

[0027] The dimensions and installation location of the suspended dining warming assembly were determined based on on-site spatial measurements. The dining platform 2 is suspended from a hydraulic support, suitable for long-walled work surfaces. Workers can carry meals to the hydraulic support when starting or changing shifts. The meals are placed in a relatively sealed state, such as in bags or boxes, inside the warming box 1. By installing the dining platform 2 at the designated location on the hydraulic support, which provides support and meets the platform's height requirements, the space occupied in the aisle is avoided. Furthermore, the integration of the warming box 1 and the dining platform 2 ensures that the food temperature is maintained within a suitable range.

[0028] By adopting the above-mentioned suspended dining and heating assembly, the workers are concentrated near the hydraulic support. The dining platform 2 and the heating box 1 are suspended and installed at the designated position on the hydraulic support. This not only meets the height and space requirements, providing a relatively good and hygienic dining environment for the workers and improving their dining experience, but also avoids the need to travel back and forth between the work surface and the dining point, saving a lot of time and energy. Moreover, it no longer occupies the space of the roadway, avoiding normal production passage or emergency evacuation. The standardized structure facilitates unified management and allocation.

[0029] Optionally, the insulated box 1 includes a box body, a door, and a temperature regulating component. A dining platform 2 is located at the top of the box body. An insulated cavity is provided inside the box body, and an opening is provided on the side of the box body. The door is closable and connected to the edge of the opening to expose or seal it. The temperature regulating component is used to regulate and maintain the temperature inside the insulated cavity. When the door is closed over the opening, a relatively sealed insulated cavity is formed inside the box, ensuring the temperature and hygiene of the food. Opening the door allows the food to be taken out for consumption. If the food temperature is unsuitable, the temperature inside the insulated cavity can be adjusted using the temperature regulating component. The component can either raise the temperature inside the insulated cavity to heat the food or lower the temperature to preserve it. By using the above-described insulated box 1 and utilizing the temperature regulating component to adjust the temperature inside the insulated cavity, the application range of the insulated box 1 is expanded.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, the dining platform 2 is located at the top of the container. The container and the door are connected by hinges, and the door is tightly connected to the container. A locking structure can also be provided between the door and the container to prevent the door from being opened accidentally. A handle 6 is provided on the door for easy opening and closing.

[0031] Optionally, the interior of the container is provided with at least one steaming rack 4. The steaming rack 4 can divide the insulation cavity into multiple compartments to hold different foods or to divide it into spaces for different purposes. The steaming rack 4 is provided with through holes to facilitate the transfer of heat within the insulation cavity.

[0032] The number of steaming racks 4 can be set according to the height of the container, usually one or two or more. In one embodiment of this application, one steaming rack 4 is provided in the container, which is centrally located within the container. When there are multiple steaming racks 4, the multiple steaming racks 4 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the height direction of the container.

[0033] Optionally, the chamber is provided with at least one support portion, which extends along the circumferential direction of the chamber; the support portion is detachably connected to the steam rack 4. The steam rack 4 can be overlapped on the support portion, which provides support for the steam rack 4 and facilitates the assembly of the steam rack 4.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, there are multiple support parts, which are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the box. The steamer rack 4 can cooperate with any of the support parts, and the height of the steamer rack 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the food. The steamer rack 4 is detachably connected for easy internal cleaning.

[0035] For safe heating, an optional vent is provided on the door, with an openable and closable cover. When storing food, the cover closes the vent to prevent dust from entering. During heating or cooling, the cover can be opened appropriately, connecting the vent to the external environment and preventing abnormal pressure inside the chamber.

[0036] To ensure effective heating or preservation while maintaining cleanliness and hygiene within the insulation cavity, sealing strips may be installed along the edges of the vents and / or the opening. These sealing strips provide waterproofing and dustproofing, preventing food storage from being affected by dust or water vapor. They also improve the tightness of the connection between the vent and the cover, as well as the tightness of the connection between the door and the cabinet body.

[0037] Powered by an electric motor, the operation of the electric heating equipment requires personnel to work in a damp environment, posing a risk of explosion. Furthermore, the power supply occupies ground space, and the overhead wires in the confined underground environment increase the risk of tripping and escape hazards. Optionally, a receiving groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the enclosure, connected to the insulation cavity. The temperature control components include a heating pack and an ice pack. When heating is required, the heating pack is placed in the receiving groove 5, and liquid (such as room temperature water, which can be provided inside the enclosure) is added. The medium inside the heating pack reacts with the liquid to release heat. The heating pack uses a food-grade heating pack, with self-heating materials including quicklime, sodium bicarbonate, and magnesium sulfate, packaged in a bag. When needed, the outer packaging film is torn open, the heating pack is placed in the receiving groove 5, and room temperature water is added. After a chemical reaction, the temperature rises rapidly, heating and cooking the food inside the package. During the heating process, the self-heating pack temperature can reach over 100℃, and the steam temperature can reach 200℃. When cooling is needed, the ice pack is placed in the receiving tank 5. The medium inside the ice pack dissolves or reacts to absorb heat. The ice pack acts as a refrigeration and preservation agent for easily perishable and easily spoiled products such as vegetables, fruits, beverages, and food, preventing spoilage, especially in places without a cold source. Using a heating pack as a heat source and the ice pack as a cold source, replacing electric heating or cooling, eliminates safety hazards and effectively solves the long-standing safety problem of underground dining. The electricity-free heating design fundamentally eliminates the risk of electric shock. At the same time, it effectively prevents poor food insulation, eliminates food safety issues, and ensures the dining needs of underground workers are effectively met.

[0038] To extend the service life of the insulated box 1, optionally, the insulated box 1 is made of stainless steel, and an insulation layer is installed inside the insulated box 1. The insulation layer includes, but is not limited to, insulation sponge. The insulation sponge is placed in the internal interlayer of the box body. The insulation layer can prevent rapid heat loss.

[0039] Optionally, the dining platform 2 also includes: an installation platform and a dining board 3. The bottom surface of the installation platform is connected to the insulated box 1. Connecting parts are located at one or both ends of the installation platform. A storage cavity is provided on the side of the installation platform, in which the dining board 3 can be stored and is movably connected to the cavity wall. Typically, the two connecting parts are located at both ends of the installation platform, and are connected to the front columns of the hydraulic supports on both sides, keeping the installation platform level. The dining board 3 can be stored in the storage cavity; when dining, the dining board 3 can be pulled out to place food or tableware.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, slide rails are provided on the opposite side walls of the storage cavity, and sliders are provided on the opposite sides of the dining board 3. The dining board 3 is slidably connected to the slide rails through the sliders, so that the dining board 3 is slidably connected to the storage cavity.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the dining board 3 can be a retractable board or a pull-out board. When dining, the dining board 3 can be unfolded to provide a relatively larger usable area, providing a comfortable dining platform for 1-2 people; after dining, it can be stored away to avoid taking up space.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the surface of the dining board 3 is covered with an anti-slip layer, which can stably hold tableware even in tilted environments.

[0043] Optionally, the connection consists of two snap-fit ​​fasteners, each located at one of the opposite ends of the mounting platform. These fasteners engage with the uprights of the hydraulic support and are locked in place by fasteners. Using snap-fit ​​fasteners to connect to the uprights, while simultaneously securing the dining platform 2 and the hydraulic support to their relative positions, increases the stability of the connection. Fasteners include, but are not limited to, fixing bolts.

[0044] The following section further describes the usage process of the suspended dining heat preservation assembly.

[0045] The dining platform 2 is suspended between the front columns of the hydraulic support via a connecting part, and the food is placed on the steaming rack 4 of the insulated box 1. For food requiring heating, open the lid and door, tear off the outer packaging film of the heating pack, place the heating pack in the receiving tank 5, add room temperature water, and close the door. A chemical reaction will rapidly raise the temperature, heating and cooking the food inside the packaging. Gas can circulate through the vent to prevent abnormal pressure inside the insulated chamber. For food requiring preservation, place ice packs in the receiving tank 5. The medium inside the ice packs dissolves or reacts to absorb heat, providing refrigeration and preservation for the food.

[0046] As can be seen from the above description and practice, the suspended dining and heat preservation assembly provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art: With the above-mentioned suspended dining and heat preservation assembly, the workers can concentrate on working near the hydraulic support, and the dining platform and heat preservation box can be suspended and installed at the designated position of the hydraulic support. This not only meets the height and space requirements, providing workers with a relatively good and hygienic dining environment and improving the dining experience, but also avoids the need to travel back and forth between the work surface and the dining point, saving a lot of time and energy; moreover, it no longer occupies the space of the roadway, avoiding normal production passage or emergency evacuation, and the standardized structure facilitates unified management and allocation.

[0047] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the scope of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
