1 is a conceptual view showing a schematic configuration of a food providing assembly to which a lift device of the present invention is applied.

1, a food providing assembly to which a lifting device of the present invention is applied includes a lifting device 300 coupled to a support 200 and a support 200, and a container 300 that is lifted and lowered by the lifting device 300. [ (100).

First of all, the support 200 will be described below. The support 200 supports the elevating device 300 and is provided near the container 100. As for the type of the support body 200, there is no limitation as long as the lifting and lowering apparatus 300 such as a frame or a ceiling wall arranged vertically or horizontally is coupled and supported and can operate.

Next, the elevating device 300 will be described. The elevating device 300 is coupled to the supporting device 200 to lift or lower the container 100, and a winch or the like is used as the elevating and lowering device However, it is needless to say that a variety of lifting and lowering methods can be used in consideration of the use purpose of the user such as a manual winch or an electric winch, or the weight of the container 100 for lifting and lowering.

At this time, the elevating device 300 and the supporting body 200 are coupled by separate coupling means (not shown), and the coupling means can be fixed or detachably coupled, The coupling method is not limited and various coupling methods can be applied and used.

The elevating device 300 has a connector 400 formed at an end thereof and is coupled with the container 100 through the connector 400 to lift the container 100. The shape of the connector 400 And the number of the connectors 400 are not limited, and various types of connector parts 400 may be used depending on the shape of the container 100. [ The connector unit 400 will be described later in detail with reference to the container 100. [

The container 100 is coupled to the lifting device 300 and is used to receive food and provide food to the customer. The container 100 is not limited in its shape but may further include a connecting portion 110 including one of a ring 111 and a step 112 protruding outwardly for coupling with the elevating device 300 And the connector part 400 included in the lifting device 300 can be engaged with the connection part 110 formed in the container 100 and coupled thereto.

In this case, when the connecting portion 110 is formed of the hook 111, the hook 111 may be formed on the upper surface of the container 100, or may be formed on a conventional pot for a fishcake pot or a pot for a pot The same ring 111 can be formed and coupled with the connector 400.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a connection form of a connector portion including a gripper and a container, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an enlarged view of a gripper.

2, the connection part 110 included in the container 100 includes a step 112 protruding and extending outward along the circumferential direction on the upper surface thereof, The connector 400 holds the vicinity of the step 112 formed in the container 100. This configuration prevents the connection between the connector 400 and the container 100 from being released.

Since the container 100 having the step 112, that is, the container 100 in which the above-mentioned loop 111 is not formed, is generally used because a general food storage container 100 is provided with the step 112, Can be gripped by the connector unit 400 and can be extended to the use of the container 100, so that the more various containers 100 can be applied to the elevating device 300.

3, when the container 100 having the step 112 is gripped, the connector 400 has a structure suitable for gripping the container 100, 510). ≪ / RTI >

The claw 510 has an extension part 513 extending from the starting point to the first inflection point 511, A first convex part 514 which is convexly protruded from the first inflection point 511 to the first inflection point 512 so as to protrude and extended from the first inflection point 512 to the first inflection point 512, The first convex part 514 and the second convex part 515 so that the container 100 is inserted into the container 100 through the clamp 500 including the extension part 513, the first convex part 514, .

The extension part 513 is formed extending from the starting point to the first inflection point 511 and refers to a part where the claw 510 extends to grip the container 100. [ Since the extension part 513 is not limited in length, a nippers 510 including an extension part 513 having a length corresponding to the size of the container 100 desired to be gripped by the user can be used.

The first convex part 514 is curved at the first inflection point 511 and extends to the second inflection point 512 and protrudes convexly with the first curved line. The first convex part 514 having such a convex shape functions to enclose the step 112 formed in the container 100 and the step 112 is received and caught in the first convex part 514, It is possible to prevent the coupling between the clamp 100 and the clamp 500 from being released.

The second convex part 515 is formed by being bent at the second inflection point 512 and has a second curvature smaller than the first curvature. The second convex part 515 having the second curvature serves to grip the container 100 by supporting the lower part of the step 112 and has a curvature smaller than that of the first curvature, 112 and its end portion can contact the side face of the container 100. [ Therefore, since the bottom of the step 112 is supported and the side surface of the container 100 is supported, a higher bonding force can be exhibited.

The connector portion 400 including the clamp 500 constituted by the claw 510 constituted by the extending part 513, the first convex part 514 and the second convex part 515 is formed in the container 100 Since the container 100 is held by surrounding the step 112, the container 100 is prevented from being disengaged by the engagement of the step 112, so that the container 100 can be gripped more stably. 100, it can exhibit a higher bonding force.

The number of the claws 510 is not limited in the connector 400 including the clamp 500 so that the connector 400 including the clamp 500 formed of two or more claws 510, It may be preferable to grasp the container 100 through the clamp 500 including three or more claws 510 for gripping the container 100 more stably.

Fig. 4 is an explanatory view showing a grip including a bending extension part. Fig.

4, the claw 510 included in the connector part 400 is brought into contact with the side of the container 100 by the second convex part 515, at which time the second convex part 515 And may further include a bending elongated bending extension part 516 to more reliably grip the sides of the container 100.

The bending extension part 516 extends from the second convex part 515 to grip the side of the container 100 and functions to hold the side surface of the container 100, 100), it is possible to prevent the container 100 from shaking when the lifting device 300 is lifted or lowered.

In addition, the bending extension part 516 may further include an elastic grip portion 517 of elastic material on the inner side, so that the side portion of the container 100 can be gripped more strongly by the elastic grip portion 517 . In this case, the material of the elastic grip part 517 is not limited, but the container 100 provided in the lifting device 300 may be heated, the container 100 may be provided on the gas burner, It is more preferable to use heat resistant rubber or silicone material to prevent the elastic grip part 517 from being damaged by the heated container 100 when the lifting device 300 is lifted or lowered by the lifting device 300 .

Therefore, the elastic grip part 517 can be used for the heated high-temperature container 100, and the gripper 510 having the bending extension part 516 including the elastic grip part 517 can be used for the upward / It is possible to prevent the swinging of the gripped container 100 from being undesirably released from the gripper 500 included in the connector portion 400.
