Description

Tray device

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of logistics, and more particularly to the field of logistics transportation, and more particularly to a tray device.

Background

The liquid beverage is a popular beverage, and is generally sealed and transported in a bottle or can mode. In many special cases, such as the delivery of freshly prepared beverages by take-out dispensers or restaurant attendants, sealed packaging is not a requirement because of the need for immediate delivery. In this case, the product is generally dispensed in a simple package manner, i.e., the product is dispensed in a cup-shaped container such as a paper cup or a plastic cup. When the seal between the cup-shaped container and the lid is poor, it is prone to tilting due to vibration or jolting during dispensing, especially when multiple beverages are being dispensed simultaneously. Since the prior art uses conventional pallet dispensing, i.e. the cup-shaped containers are placed in the holes in the pallet, no other measures are taken to prevent leakage, and therefore tilting and collision during transport, especially in vehicle transport, are more likely to cause leakage.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks and deficiencies of the prior art, it is desirable to provide a tray device that solves the above-mentioned problem of liquid leakage during transportation, and that allows the liquid level of the tray device to be kept as smooth as possible during transportation of a cup-shaped container containing liquid, so as to avoid leakage.

Detailed Description

The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not restrictive of the invention. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.

It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, the tray device of the present embodiment includes at least one carrying tray 100 and a tray support 200 for disposing the at least one carrying tray 100. The carrying tray 100 is rotatably disposed opposite to the fixed portion of the tray support 200. The tray support 200 is used to support the carrying tray 100 while allowing the carrying tray 100 to freely rotate. The carrying tray 100 comprises at least one storage unit for the cup-shaped containers 300. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the tray support 200 may be disposed at one side of the carrying tray 100. For example, the tray support 200 may be disposed at the bottom end of the carrying tray 100, i.e., the tray support 200 is below the carrying tray 100. At this time, the tray support 200 supports the carrying tray 100 from the bottom of the carrying tray 100, facilitating the placement of the entire tray device on the surface of an object or the holding of the same from below by hand. In addition, the tray support 200 may be disposed at the top end of the carrying tray 100, that is, the tray support 200 and the bottom of the cup-shaped container 300 are respectively disposed at both sides of the carrying tray 100, and in this case, the carrying tray 100 may be disposed upside down, that is, the tray support 200 suspends and fixes the carrying tray 100 from the top end of the carrying tray 100, so that the carrying tray 100 may be disposed in a hanging manner or may be carried by hand.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the carrying tray 100 may include at least one layer of tray panels, which may be thin plate-shaped. For example, the tray panels may be two or more layers, and the cup-shaped containers are fixed together by the two or more layers of tray panels. And the storage unit may be provided on at least one layer of the tray panel such that the cup-shaped container 300 is placed therein. The tray support 200 is rotatably connected to at least one layer of the tray panel. That is, the tray support 200 may be pivotally connected to any one or more of the tray panels. The manner in which the tray panels secure the cup-shaped containers can be varied. Several specific embodiments are described below.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 4 to 6, the carrying tray 100 may include a first panel 110. The storage unit includes a first storage hole/groove 111 provided on the first panel 110, and the cup-shaped container 300 may be placed in the first storage hole/groove 111. The first storage hole/slot 111 may be a hole formed by directly removing a material from the first panel 110 (as shown in fig. 4), or may be a hole formed by cutting a material of a portion of the first panel 110 where the hole is to be formed, bending the cut material upward or downward without removing the cut material, or may be a hole formed by welding a rib plate below the first panel 110 as shown in fig. 5 to reinforce the fixation of the first storage hole/slot 111 to the cup-shaped container. In the latter two cases, the bent material or the reinforcing rib may be formed into a cylindrical shape conforming to a section of the cup-shaped container 300, for example, a section of a conical cylinder with a large top and a small bottom, and the contact area between the conical cylinder and the cup-shaped container is increased, so that the placement is more stable and reliable. The first storage hole/slot 111 of the above three cases is suitable for placing the cup-shaped container 300 in a shape with a small top and a large bottom. For example, when the cup-shaped container 300 has a shape with a small top and a large bottom, the cup-shaped container is placed into the first storage hole/groove 111 from the top to the bottom, and when a certain position is reached, that is, when the outer diameter of the cup-shaped container 300 is larger than the diameter of the first storage hole/groove 111, the cup-shaped container 300 is just caught in the first storage hole/groove 111 and is fixed. When the cup-shaped container 300 has a straight cylindrical shape or another shape such as a small top and a large bottom, the cup-shaped container 300 can be preferably placed because the first storage hole/groove 111 may be a groove having a bottom. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the first storage hole/groove 111 may be a groove-shaped structure formed by being recessed downward from the first panel 110, but may be a first storage hole/groove 111 formed in other ways, and the cup-shaped container may be put into the first storage hole/groove 111 from the entrance of the first storage hole/groove 111 and reach the bottom of the first storage hole/groove 111 so as to be fixed by the support of the bottom. Of course, the deeper the first storage hole/groove 111, the more stable the placement.

Because the first panel 110 can be rotatably connected with the tray support 200, the first panel 110 can freely rotate along with external force, so that the cup-shaped container placed on the first panel can also rotate along with the external force, impact force generated by liquid in the cup-shaped container on the side wall of the cup-shaped container due to shaking can be resolved, and according to the interaction relationship of the force, the back collision of the reaction force of the impact force on the liquid can be resolved, so that the liquid is prevented from overflowing due to the action of external force in the horizontal direction.

When the first storage hole/slot 111 is formed in the first panel 110, since a single hole may not be stable enough for placing the cup-shaped container, the carrying tray 100 may further include a second panel 120, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, and the second panel 120 is located at a lower layer of the first panel 110, so as to help the first panel 110 to support the cup-shaped container 300 from the bottom or increase the fixing force to the cup-shaped container 300. The first panel 110 and the second panel 120 may be fixed together by a connection portion 130. Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, a second storage hole/slot 121 may be formed in the second panel 120, and the second storage hole/slot 121 corresponds to the first storage hole/slot 111, and the cup-shaped container 300 passes through the hole of the first storage hole/slot 111 to reach the second storage hole/slot 121. As shown in fig. 7, the second panel 120 may be a flat plate to directly support the cup-shaped container 300 from the bottom.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 3 and 9 to 11, the tray support 200 may include a support column 210, and the support column 210 may be fixedly disposed or rotatably disposed. When the support post 210 is fixedly disposed, the fixed portion includes the support post. At this time, the first panel 110 may include a central unit, for example, the central unit may be a first central hole 113, and the first central hole 113 is rotatably engaged with one end of the pillar 210, so that the carrying tray 100 can freely rotate. When the support column is rotatably disposed, the rotating portion of the tray support includes the support column, one end of the support column 210 is fixedly connected to the first panel 110, the other end of the support column 210 is rotatably disposed on the fixed portion, and the first panel 110 rotates along with the rotation of the support column 210. In order to make the rotation flexible, those skilled in the art may adopt an appropriate structure, such as a ball, etc., and is not limited herein.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the fixing portion may further include a bottom bracket 220, and the bottom bracket 220 is fixedly or rotatably connected to the other end of the support pole 210. Specifically, when the supporting post 210 is a fixed portion, the supporting post 210 is fixedly connected with the bottom bracket 220; when the post 210 is a rotating part, the post 210 may be rotatably connected with the shoe 220.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the storage units may correspond to the bottom bases 220, so that the bottom bases 220 can protect the cup-shaped container 300 from falling from below, and can also receive a small amount of liquid overflowing from the cup-shaped container 300 to prevent the overflowing liquid from polluting other articles.

Preferably, the distance between the bottom bracket 220 and the carrying tray 100 is adjustable. One way of accomplishing this is that the bottom bracket 220 is movably connected to the other end of the support post 210, so that the bottom bracket 220 can slide up and down along the support post 210 on the support post 210, thereby changing the distance between the bottom bracket 220 and the carrying tray 100. Another way to achieve this is that the carrying tray 100 is movably connected to one end of the supporting column 210, so that the carrying tray 100 can slide up and down on the supporting column 210, thereby changing the distance between the carrying tray 100 and the bottom support 220. Of course, the method is not limited to the two implementations, and the skilled person can design the method flexibly according to the needs.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 1, 9 and 10, a fence 230 may be disposed around the bottom support 220, and the carrying tray 100 is located in the area enclosed by the fence 230. The fence can be a net or a fence, and can also be a solid fence. The rail 230 can, on the one hand, reinforce the rigidity and strength of the base 220 to make it more robust and reliable, and, on the other hand, the rail 230 can enclose the carrying tray 100 to better protect the carrying tray and the cup-shaped containers. The carrying tray 100 can not touch other objects around when rotating, thereby being safer and more reliable.

According to the needs, can be in tray support is last to set up the handle for carry the position of handle when carrying tray device, convenient transport. For example, the handle may be disposed on the rail to be fixed to the rail, may be disposed on the pillar, or may be disposed at other convenient positions, which are not particularly limited herein.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 3 and 9, a shock absorbing mechanism 400 may be disposed between the carrying tray 100 and the tray support 200 to reduce shock to the carrying tray caused by external force during transportation, so as to prevent liquid leakage caused by the shock. Specifically, the damping mechanism 400 may be an elastic structure, such as a spring or a structure made of other elastic materials, such as rubber. Here, taking the case where the damper mechanism 400 is a coil spring as an example, as shown in fig. 3 and 9, the coil spring may be coaxial with the strut 210, for example, the coil spring may be wound around the outer diameter of the strut 210, or the coil spring may be inserted into an inner hole of the strut 210. One end of the coil spring may be fixed to or in contact with the tray support 200, and the other end may be fixed to or in contact with the carrier tray 100. Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, the pillar 210 is a hollow shaft, the coil spring is disposed in and coaxial with the inner hole of the pillar 210, and the carrying tray 100 may include a pin 114, and the pin 114 passes through the first central hole 113 of the carrying tray 100 and penetrates into the inner hole of the pillar 210 to contact or fix one end of the coil spring. The pin 114 is fixedly connected to the first panel 110 (or the second panel 120), and when the tray support vibrates, the pin causes the coil spring to expand and contract, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the tray 100 above the coil spring.

In addition, the shape of the carrying tray 100 or the tray support 200 may be a circle or a square, and may also be other shapes. The arrangement of the tray support 200 and the shock absorbing mechanism 400 can also be flexible, for example, the edge of the circular carrying tray 100 can be placed on the circular track of the tray support 200, the circular track can be an annular boss or a circular groove, which not only can support the carrying tray 100, but also can be provided with a sliding or rolling device between the contact positions of the circular track and the circular carrying tray 100 to reduce the friction between the two during rotation. Then, a spring plate or a resilient structure such as rubber may be provided between the contact positions of the circular rail and the circular carrying tray 100.

In summary, the form of the shock absorbing mechanism 400 may be various, and those skilled in the art can flexibly design the shock absorbing mechanism according to the technical knowledge, and is not particularly limited herein.

As shown in fig. 1 to 8, in order to simultaneously transport as much liquid as possible, two or more storage units may be provided on the same carrier tray 100, and the two or more storage units may be uniformly provided on the carrier tray 100. The uniform arrangement means that the storage units are uniformly and symmetrically arranged with respect to the rotation center of the carrying tray, so that the carrying tray 100 is easily balanced when rotated, thereby making the rotation smooth and preventing the liquid leakage.

Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 11, in order to transport more liquid at the same time, two or more of the receiving trays 100 may be provided, and two or more of the receiving trays 100 may be horizontally arranged in parallel or vertically arranged in parallel. When arranged horizontally, as shown in fig. 8, more than two of the carrying trays 100 may share one of the bottom brackets 220, and more than two of the supporting posts 210 may be disposed on the bottom brackets 220 to correspond to more than two of the carrying trays 100. Such a design makes the structure simpler while enabling more liquid to be dispensed at one time. For example, in the current takeaway delivery service, a dispenser can load a desired number of cup-shaped containers into the same tray device at a time for delivery. Or when the waiters in the restaurant send beverages to different tables, the tray device in the embodiment can be used for conveying more cup-shaped containers at one time, so that the number of times of taking beverages by the waiters is reduced, and the physical strength and the time are saved. Meanwhile, since the tray device in this embodiment has shock-absorbing and anti-overflow effects, leakage is not easily generated in the process of delivering beverages to customers by either takeaway dealers or restaurant attendants. Greatly facilitating the distribution service.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the application and is illustrative of the principles of the technology employed. It will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that the scope of the invention as referred to in the present application is not limited to the embodiments with a specific combination of the above-mentioned features, but also covers other embodiments with any combination of the above-mentioned features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, the above features may be replaced with (but not limited to) features having similar functions disclosed in the present application.
