Description

  The present invention relates to a compound cart-accommodating type distribution vehicle comprising a movable compound cart in which trays on which food is placed are arranged in multiple stages and a main body that accommodates the cart when providing meals in a hospital or a nursing home.

  Conventionally, this kind of distribution vehicle has a tray accommodation chamber for accommodating trays in multiple stages in the main body and a cooling facility for feeding cool air and a heating facility for feeding hot air to the tray accommodation chamber. In the case of such an integrated type arrangement vehicle, the overall weight of the arrangement vehicle becomes heavy due to the cooling equipment and the heating equipment, and when performing the arrangement in each room such as a hospital, There was an inconvenience that it was difficult to move and change directions.

  In order to cope with such a problem, a station having a cooling facility and a heating facility is installed in a predetermined place, and a cart having trays accommodated in multiple stages is docked to the station, and the station is There is also a docking type distribution vehicle that sends cold air or hot air into the cart to refrigerate or heat the dishes on each tray for a certain period of time, and only moves the cart when serving. It has been.

  In the case of the docking type arrangement vehicle described above, it is only necessary to move the cart by separating the cart from the station and moving only the carts in which the trays are accommodated in multiple stages. Therefore, the movement is easier than the integrated arrangement vehicle. .

  However, even in the docking type allocation vehicle described above, the cart docked with respect to the station is intended to insulate from the outside air when the dishes on the trays stored in multiple stages in the cart are cooled or heated. In addition, since the whole is box-shaped, the upper and lower walls, the left and right walls, and the front and rear doors, etc., must be formed of thick heat insulating panels. At the same time, the cost is increased, and the ease of movement of the cart alone is still insufficient.

  There is also known a docking type arrangement vehicle in which the cart has a two-member configuration of an inner cart and an outer cart. However, in such an arrangement cart, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the component panel of the outer cart that comes into contact with the outside air. In addition, there is an inconvenience that manpower and manpower are required to put in and out the inner cart with respect to the outer cart, and the operability is low.

  An object of the present invention is to efficiently heat and cool food and food on a tray accommodated in the cart without increasing the heat insulation of the cart itself. -To provide a composite cart-accommodating bar arrangement that can enhance convenience.

The present invention according to claim 1 is a layout in which a plurality of trays are arranged inside, a composite cart movable by wheels attached to the bottom, and a composite cart storage chamber for storing the whole composite cart is formed inside. There is a car body, and the cart body has a cart entry / exit part for taking in and out of the cart in the composite cart storage room on the front side of the composite cart storage room, and superheated steam or the like spouts to the rear wall of the composite cart storage room A superheated steam outlet, a superheated steam inlet for sucking in superheated steam, a cool air outlet from which cool air blows out, and a cool air inlet for sucking in cool air are formed, and the distribution vehicle body feeds cold air from the cold air outlet. Cooling equipment and heating equipment for sending superheated steam or hot air from the superheated steam outlet, etc. The cart has upper and lower walls, left and right walls, and the rear side communicates with each of the superheated steam outlet and the superheated steam inlet, the cold air outlet and the cold air inlet in the layout vehicle body. The front side of the composite cart main body is a tray storage vehicle entrance / exit portion for taking in and out the tray storage vehicle built in the cart main body, and a cart door is attached to each of the tray storage vehicle entrance / exit portion and the communication opening portion. The tray accommodating vehicle has at least a substantially square base portion, struts erected at four corners on the upper surface of the base portion, a top portion supported by these struts, and a wheel attached to the lower surface of the base portion. It is a combined cart-accommodating type distribution vehicle.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the combined cart-accommodating type distribution vehicle according to the first aspect, a wheel entry opening through which a wheel of the composite cart enters is formed in a lower wall of the distribution vehicle main body. .

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the composite cart-accommodating type distribution vehicle according to the first or second aspect, a heating facility is provided at a lower portion of the distribution vehicle main body, and a cooling facility is provided at an upper portion of the distribution vehicle main body. It is what.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided one or a plurality of the composite cart-accommodating type distribution vehicles according to any one of the first to third aspects on the rear side of the superheated steam outlet for the distribution vehicle main body. The heater is arranged so that the warm air or steam emitted from the heating equipment is heated by the heater.

  The composite cart-accommodating type distribution vehicle of the present invention is configured such that the entire composite cart is accommodated in the composite cart accommodation chamber of the distribution vehicle body, and cold air, superheated steam, etc. are circulated in the composite cart within the composite cart accommodation chamber. Therefore, at the time of cooling and heating, the composite cart itself is completely shielded from the outside air, and thus constitutes a composite cart main body as compared with the conventional integrated and docking type allocation vehicles. The structure of the upper and lower walls, the left and right walls, and the front and rear doors can be simplified, the thickness of each wall can be reduced and the weight can be reduced, and the overall size of the cart can be reduced. The operability such as movement and direction change is further improved, and the manufacturing can be easily performed, and the cost can be reduced.

  Furthermore, according to the composite cart-accommodating type distribution vehicle of the present invention, when performing a distribution in a facility such as a hospital or a nursing home, the combination cart storage room of the distribution vehicle body disposed in the kitchen room or the like in the facility is used. First, the combined cart is taken out and moved to the vicinity of the final arrangement place, and the final arrangement place can be arranged by taking out only the tray containing vehicle from the combination cart body. Therefore, foreign matters such as dust can be reliably prevented from entering the food on the tray in the middle of the distribution, and a smooth and flexible distribution operation can be performed.
