Description

This invention relates to an efficient meal delivery system, and more particularly to a rail-type meal delivery device that enables rapid delivery while saving human labor and dining space. In the catering industry, food delivery rails are widely used for automated food delivery, particularly in buffet restaurants and conveyor belt sushi restaurants. The currently known food delivery systems combine a single food delivery rail with a single delivery cart, shortening delivery times and allowing the cart to quickly arrive at the designated location, stop, and wait for the customer to pick up their food, unaffected by changes in the customer's location, travel route, or surrounding environment. This is an example of an overall external view of a rail-type meal delivery device according to one embodiment of the present invention.This is an example of a three-dimensional exploded view of a delivery cart according to one embodiment of the present invention.This is an example of an electronic control block diagram relating to a delivery cart according to one embodiment of the present invention.This is an example of a close-up view of a part of Figure 1 of the present invention.This is an example of a plan view of a rail-type meal delivery device according to one embodiment of the present invention.This is a cross-sectional view taken along line X-X in Figure 5 of the present invention.This is an example of a schematic diagram relating to the delivery of meals to a food collection platform according to one embodiment of the present invention.This is an example of a schematic diagram relating to the operation of a lifting device according to one embodiment of the present invention.This is an example of a three-dimensional diagram of another embodiment of the rail-type meal delivery device of the present invention.This is an example of a schematic diagram spanning multiple floors in another embodiment of the rail-type meal delivery device of the present invention.This is an example of another schematic diagram spanning multiple floors in another embodiment of the rail-type meal delivery device of the present invention. This invention relates to a rail-type food delivery device A, as shown in one embodiment in Figures 1 and 2, and primarily provides automated food delivery services in various types of restaurants. For example, it is mounted on a disc-type food delivery rail 5 and includes a rail assembly 1, at least one delivery cart 2, and at least one lifting device 3. The combination of these components will be described below with reference to the figures. As shown in Figures 1, 3, and 4, the rail assembly 1 includes at least one first rail set 11 and at least one second rail set 12, and a plurality of food accumulation platforms 13 provided according to the number of seats 6 for the planned meal. The first rail set 11 and the second rail set 12 are installed by stacking them vertically on a plurality of support columns 14, and are mounted between two meal delivery rails 51 provided on a disc-shaped meal delivery rail 5, or are installed horizontally and above the disc-shaped meal delivery rail 5. The number of food accumulation platforms 13 installed at each seat 6 can be designed as one, two, or three depending on the capacity, and one or more platforms can be installed depending on the number of customers that can be accommodated at each seat. These plurality of food accumulation platforms 13 are positioned on one or both sides of the first rail set 11 or the second rail set 12. In other words, the plurality of food accumulation platforms 13 are positioned directly above the two meal delivery rails 51. Furthermore, the first rail set 11 is equipped with multiple position signaling devices 111, and each food collection platform 13 is equipped with multiple rollers 133, one guard plate 131, one food detection unit 132, one audio module, one acoustic light module 135, or a combination thereof. The food collection platform 13 is also inclined downward at a predetermined angle, and the delivery carts 2 on the first rail set 11 and the delivery carts 2 on the second rail set 12 are either moving in opposite or the same direction. Additionally, the first rail set 11 is positioned vertically above and/or below the second rail set 12, or the first rail set 11 and the second rail set 12 are positioned horizontally. In other words, the first rail set 11 works in conjunction with multiple food collection platforms 13 to provide delivery services using multiple delivery carts 2, while the second rail set 12 enables these delivery carts 2 to quickly return to the kitchen space 4 after completing deliveries, or works in conjunction with multiple food collection platforms 13 to exclusively provide meal delivery services, while the first rail set 11 enables the multiple delivery carts 2 to quickly return to the kitchen space 4 after completing deliveries, thereby preparing to transport the next scheduled meal. In particular, as
