[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-6 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a food delivery vehicle, including a vehicle body 3, a food delivery cabinet 1, and a heating fan 2; A food delivery cabinet 1 is installed inside carriage 3; The food delivery cabinet 1 has a first storage area 11 and a second storage area 12, and a heating fan 2 is installed in the first storage area 11; The second storage area 12 is provided with multiple storage chambers 4 for storing lunch boxes, and each storage chamber 4 is connected to the first storage area 11.

[0022] By setting multiple storage chambers 4 that can hold lunch boxes, each lunch box can be placed into a separate storage chamber 4, avoiding the lunch boxes from stacking and blocking each other. Heating is carried out by a heating fan 2. The hot air blown out by the heating fan 2 can enter each storage chamber 4 connected to the first storage area 11, so that each lunch box can fully contact the hot air in the storage chamber 4, improving the heating efficiency.

[0023] Preferably, a food delivery cabinet 1 is installed on each side of the carriage 3, and both sides of the carriage 3 have double doors. Users can simply open the door and pull out the corresponding pull-out piece 6 to retrieve their meals, resulting in high efficiency. Furthermore, since each independent compartment 4 corresponds to a pull-out piece 6, heat loss from the remaining compartments 4 is slower when the user opens them, resulting in better heat preservation. The opening and closing of the doors is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The heating fan 2 is preferably a waterproof heating fan.

[0025] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a partition structure 5 is provided in the second accommodating area 12, the partition structure 5 being used to divide the second accommodating area 12 into multiple accommodating chambers 4.

[0026] Specifically, the partition structure 5 includes multiple horizontal plates 51 and multiple vertical plates 52; Along the height of the food delivery cabinet 1, multiple horizontal panels 51 are arranged at intervals. Multiple vertical panels 52 are arranged sequentially between each pair of adjacent horizontal panels 51, and the multiple vertical panels 52 of each layer are arranged along the length of the food delivery cabinet 1.

[0027] Each horizontal plate 51 has a first vent hole.

[0028] The horizontal panel 51 and vertical panel 52 can be made of aluminum plate to ensure safety when in direct contact with food, and its corrosion resistance is better than that of 304 stainless steel, making it less likely to produce harmful substances during long-term use. To improve the heat preservation effect, the outer side of the food delivery cabinet 1 is wrapped with an insulation layer to reduce heat loss.

[0029] Preferably, along the length of the horizontal plate 51, each horizontal plate 51 has multiple strip grooves. The length direction of the strip grooves is the same as the width direction of the horizontal plate 51. The vertical plate 52 can be inserted into the appropriate position of the strip groove according to the size of the lunch box. The distance between the two vertical plates 52 in the horizontal direction can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the width of the receiving chamber 4. The width of the receiving chamber 4 is the same as the length direction of the horizontal plate 51.

[0030] Optionally, the vertical plate 52 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 51.

[0031] In this embodiment, the two ends of each horizontal plate 51 are connected to the two side walls opposite to the second receiving area 12. Of course, in this embodiment, the partition structure 5 can also take other forms. For example, the partition structure 5 includes flat plates and vertical plates. The two ends of the vertical plates are connected to the top and bottom walls of the second receiving area 12, respectively. Multiple vertical plates are arranged evenly at intervals along the length of the delivery cabinet 1. Each vertical plate has a limiting groove on both sides. Multiple flat plates are connected between each pair of adjacent vertical plates. The two ends of each flat plate can be inserted into the corresponding limiting groove. Multiple horizontal plates 51 are also provided between the vertical plates at both ends and the corresponding side walls of the second receiving area 12. The multiple horizontal plates 51 are arranged sequentially along the height of the delivery cabinet 1. The second receiving area 12 can also be divided into multiple receiving chambers 4. This does not depart from the design concept of this utility model and therefore should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] Furthermore, a second vent is provided between the first accommodating area 11 and the second accommodating area 12, so that the hot air from the heating fan 2 enters the accommodating chamber 4 directly connected to it after passing through the second vent. Since each horizontal plate 51 is provided with a first vent, the hot air can be transferred upward to heat the lunch boxes in each accommodating chamber 4.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to improve heating efficiency, such as Figure 5 As shown, the food delivery cabinet 1 is also equipped with a conveying area 14. The projection of the second receiving area 12 on the vertical plane falls into the projection of the conveying area 14 on the vertical plane. The first receiving area 11 is located below the second receiving area 12. The second receiving area 12 and the first receiving area 11 are both connected to the conveying area 14.

[0034] Since hot air flows upward, placing the first receiving area 11 below the second receiving area 12, so that the heating fan 2 is located below the food delivery cabinet 1, can improve heating efficiency compared to placing the heating fan 2 in other locations.

[0035] Preferred, such as Figure 5 As shown, the food delivery cabinet 1 includes a cabinet body, a first perforated partition, and a second perforated partition. The cabinet body has a storage space. The first perforated partition divides the storage space into a first storage area 11 and a storage cavity. The second perforated partition divides the storage cavity into a delivery area 14 and a second storage area 12. The first perforated partition is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the second perforated partition is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The bottom end of the second perforated partition is connected to the first perforated partition, and its top end is connected to the inner top wall of the storage cavity. The holes in the first perforated partition are the second ventilation holes.

[0036] Another option, such as Figure 4As shown, the food delivery cabinet 1 only has a first perforated partition and does not have a second perforated partition. In this case, the first perforated partition directly divides the storage space into a first storage area 11 and a second storage area 12. Its purpose does not depart from the design concept of this utility model; therefore, it should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] By setting up the conveying zone 14, a portion of the hot air in the first receiving zone 11 enters the conveying zone 14. The hot air can enter each receiving chamber 4 from the conveying zone 14 through the holes in the second hollow partition, thereby improving the heating and heat preservation effect of the lunch box. Furthermore, each vertical plate 52 is provided with a third vent hole. Through the third vent hole on the vertical plate 52, the hot air in the two adjacent receiving chambers 4 can flow to each other, so that the lunch box can come into contact with the hot air entering from all directions, improving the heating and heat preservation effect.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a disinfection lamp 9 is provided inside the conveying area 14. The light from the disinfection lamp 9 shines through the holes in the second hollow partition into each receiving chamber 4 to disinfect the receiving chamber 4, making it more hygienic.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, each accommodating chamber 4 is slidably connected with a pull-out component 6, which facilitates the removal or placement of lunch boxes. The pull-out component 6 includes a bottom plate 61 and a baffle 62 connected to each other. The bottom plate 61 is provided with a placement groove for placing lunch boxes and multiple air vents. The bottom plate 61 is parallel to the horizontal plane. Rubber strips are attached to the periphery of the baffle 62. The rubber strips can improve the overall sealing of the food delivery cabinet 1, reduce heat loss when the heating fan 2 heats the food boxes, and also reduce the occurrence of the pull-out part 6 slipping out and the food boxes falling off when the food delivery vehicle is bumped during transportation.

[0040] Of course, in this embodiment, the opening end of each compartment 4 can also be blocked by a hinged cover plate. The upper side of the cover plate is hinged to the cabinet body of the food delivery cabinet 1. A strip hole is opened at the bottom of the cover plate. A T-bolt is screwed into the lower side of each compartment 4. By screwing the T-bolt through the strip hole and screwing it again, the cover plate is limited between the head of the T-bolt and the food delivery cabinet 1. This can prevent heat loss inside the compartment 4 and also prevent the food box from falling.

[0041] By opening multiple vent holes at the bottom of the base plate 61, hot air flowing out from the first vent hole of the horizontal plate 51 can enter the containment chamber 4 without obstructing it.

[0042] Preferably, the position of the air outlet corresponds to the position of the first vent.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a third accommodating area 13 is provided on the upper side of the food delivery cabinet 1, and a control panel 7 is provided in the third accommodating area 13. A temperature control system for monitoring and controlling the temperature is also provided in the food delivery vehicle. The temperature control system and the heating fan 2 are electrically connected to the control panel 7.

[0044] The temperature control system includes a thermostat and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is placed in one of the housing chambers 4. When the temperature sensor shows that the temperature has reached the preset temperature value, the thermostat controls the heating fan 2 to stop working.

[0045] Heating fan 2 uses a 3KW heating fan, which can heat up to 100 degrees Celsius in about 30 minutes, with high heating efficiency. Combined with the temperature control system, the heating temperature can be precisely set with an accuracy of ±1℃. When the temperature inside the food delivery cabinet 1 is lower than the set value, heating automatically starts; once the set value is reached, it automatically stops to prevent overheating.

[0046] The heating fan 2 can quickly heat the food, improving heating efficiency and ensuring that the hot food (such as rice and soup) in the meal box is kept at a suitable eating temperature of above 80°C during transportation, avoiding hardening of texture and loss of flavor due to low temperature; in extreme climates such as severe cold (such as below -10°C in northern winters) and scorching heat (above 35°C in southern summers), it reduces the impact of the external environment on the temperature of the food, ensuring that the food still meets the safety standards for consumption when it is delivered. Furthermore, the delivery vehicle also includes an alarm bell, a power sensor, a GPS positioning module, etc. The power sensor can monitor the power level of the delivery vehicle, and when the power is low, the alarm bell will sound an alarm. These are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0047] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a lighting lamp 8 is provided at the top of the food delivery cabinet 1. When the heating fan 2 or other equipment inside the food delivery cabinet 1 is damaged, the rear door of the carriage 3 can be opened and the lighting lamp 8 can be manually turned on to provide lighting, making it convenient for personnel to enter the carriage 3 to carry out maintenance work.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the carriage 3 includes a body and a door. The body includes a frame, an outer skin 31 and an inner skin 32. The frame is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which reduces the weight by 30%-40% compared to traditional carbon steel, and has good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for complex environments such as farms. An insulation structure 33 for heat preservation is provided between the outer skin 31 and the inner skin 32. The insulation structure 33 has a thickness of 40mm.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer skin 31 comprises a fiberglass plate with a preferred thickness of 1.0 mm, which has excellent anti-corrosion and easy-to-clean properties, and the inner skin 32 comprises an aluminum plate. The insulation structure 33 includes an insulation board and an aluminum foil reflective film; The aluminum foil reflective film is attached to the side of the insulation board closest to the fiberglass plate. The insulation board is made of polyurethane (PU) foam material with a density of 40-50 kg / m³. 3 Thermal conductivity ≤0.025W / (m Compared to traditional EPS polystyrene, the insulation effect is improved by 20%-30%. A layer of aluminum foil reflective film is attached to the outside of the insulation board to effectively reflect external radiant heat, reduce heat transfer, and improve the insulation effect.

[0050] All joints and gaps in the food delivery vehicle compartment 3 are sealed with silicone sealant to ensure overall airtightness. For areas where electrical wires and pipes penetrate compartment 3, fire-retardant putty is used for sealing to prevent heat leakage. Ultraviolet disinfection lamps reduce bacterial residue inside the storage compartment 4. Because all joints and gaps in compartment 3 are sealed with silicone sealant, the airtightness is excellent, reducing the possibility of dust, insects, or odors entering compartment 3 during transportation, lowering the risk of food contamination, and ensuring greater hygiene.

[0051] The delivery vehicle includes a chassis and a driver's cab, which delivery personnel can drive to deliver meals. The chassis is a Class II micro-truck chassis, equipped with a 15.97kWh battery to power the electrical equipment on the delivery vehicle, and solar panels are installed on the top of the delivery vehicle to provide auxiliary power.

[0052] Warning signs and reflective strips are installed around the perimeter of carriage 3 to improve safety during nighttime driving.
