[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4According to a first aspect of the present invention, an adjustable divider food packaging box includes a box body 100 and a divider plate 200. The box body 100 has a cavity, and the divider plate 200 is disposed in the box body 100 and located in the cavity. The divider plate 200 can be folded to form a dividing portion that protrudes relative to the bottom of the cavity. The dividing portion is used to divide the cavity into different areas. The divider plate 200 can be folded to form at least two states, and the number of dividing portions of the divider plate 200 is different in different states. In use, the divider plate 200 is first folded to the required state and then placed in the box body 100, with the divider plate 200 protruding relative to the bottom of the cavity. The dividing section divides the cavity into several areas, which can be the same or different sizes. Different areas can hold different foods, so that only one divider 200 is needed to meet different storage needs. Traditional boxes can only provide one type of division with one divider 200, which can only meet one type of storage space. When multiple types of storage space are needed, multiple dividers 200 need to be configured, which is costly and inconvenient to store. Therefore, compared with traditional boxes, this embodiment only needs one divider 200 to meet multiple needs, which can save on usage costs and facilitate the storage of the box.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments of the present invention, the partition plate 200 has a first state and a second state. The partition plate 200 is provided with a first folding portion 211, a second folding portion 212, and a third folding portion 213. The third folding portion 213 is symmetrically arranged with the first folding portion 211 as the axis and the second folding portion 212. The first folding portion 211, the second folding portion 212, and the third folding portion 213 divide the partition plate 200 into a first region 221, a second region 222, a third region 223, and a fourth region 224. The second region 222 is located between the second folding portion 212 and the first folding portion 211, and the third region 223 is located between the first folding portion 211 and the second folding portion 212. Between the folded portion 211 and the third folded portion 213, the first region 221 is adjacent to the second region 222, and the fourth region 224 is adjacent to the third region 223. The first region 221 is provided with the fourth folded portion 214. By folding the fourth folded portion 214, part of the partition plate 200 in the first region 221 can be folded upright to form the second partition portion 320. Specifically, the second folded portion 212 is spaced apart from the first folded portion 211. By folding the first folded portion 211, the second folded portion 212, and the third folded portion 213, the second region 222 and the third region 223 are erected relative to the fourth region 224 and the first region 221. The partition plates 200 of the erected second region 222 and third region 223 form a raised first partition 310, which divides the cavity into two regions. This is the first state of the partition plate 200. In the first state, the cavity is divided into two, which can store two different foods, preventing them from being mixed up. The two regions have a large space, which can accommodate larger foods, such as two different flavors of fried chicken legs. The fourth fold 214 can be set in the fourth region 224, and the fourth fold 214 intersects with the second fold 212. By folding the fourth fold, part of the partition plate 200 is divided. The first partition 310 is connected to the second partition 320, which is erected to form a second partition 320. The second partition 320 is connected to the first partition 310, dividing the cavity into three areas. It should be noted that the second partition 320 is connected to the body of the partition 200 through the fourth fold 214. The second fold 212 are not connected to each other, so that the second partition 320 can be folded up. The second partition 320 and the first partition 310 divide the cavity into one large and two small spaces, forming the second state of the partition 200. In the second state, the box can store three kinds of food and prevent them from being mixed up. Moreover, the different sized areas can accommodate different sized foods.

[0034] It should be noted that the arrangement of the fourth folding part 214 is not limited to the above embodiment. Other embodiments can also be adopted. For example, the fourth folding part 214 can also be arranged in the first region 221. By folding the fourth folding part 214, part of the partition plate 200 in the first region 221 is folded up to form the second partition 320.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the partition plate 200 further has a third state, in which a fifth folding portion 215 is provided in the region where the fourth folding portion 214 is located. The fifth folding portion 215 can fold up a portion of the partition plate 200 in the region to form a third dividing portion 330. Specifically, in the second state, the first dividing portion 310 and the second dividing portion 320 divide the cavity into three regions, and the fifth folding portion 215 can be in the fourth region 224. The fifth folding portion 215 is spaced apart from the fourth folding portion 214, and the third dividing portion 330 folds up the partition plate 200 in the second state. The three areas are divided into four areas to form the third state of the partition plate 200. It should be noted that the fifth folding part 215 of the third dividing part 330 is connected to the partition plate 200, while other parts are not connected to the partition plate 200, so that the third dividing part 330 can be folded up. In the third state, the cavity is divided into four areas, especially three small areas and one large area. Four different foods can be stored in their corresponding areas so that they are not mixed up. The large area can hold larger foods, and the small areas can hold smaller foods, which meets the storage needs of different foods.

[0036] It should be noted that the arrangement of the fifth fold 215 is not limited to the above embodiment. Other embodiments can also be adopted. For example, if the fourth fold 214 is located in the first region 221, the fifth fold 215 can also be arranged in the first region 221 and spaced apart from the fourth fold 214.

[0037] Reference Figure 6In some embodiments of the present invention, the partition plate 200 also has a fourth state, in which a sixth fold 216 is provided on another region opposite to the first dividing part 310 in the region where the fourth fold 214 is located. The sixth fold 216 can fold up a portion of the partition plate 200 in that region to form the fourth dividing part 340. Specifically, in the third state, the first dividing part 310, the second dividing part 320, and the third dividing part 330 divide the cavity into four regions. When the fourth fold 214 and the fifth fold 215 are provided in the fourth region 224, the sixth fold 216 can be provided in the first region 221. The folding part 216 raises the partition plate 200 of the first region 221 to form the fourth partition part 340. It should be noted that the fourth partition part 340 is connected to the partition plate 200 through the sixth folding part 216, but not connected at other positions, so that it can be folded and raised. The fourth partition part 340 divides the four regions of the partition plate 200 in the third state into five regions to form the fourth state of the partition plate 200. In the fourth state, by further dividing, the cavity can be divided into five regions, and five different foods can be put into the box, and the different foods will not be mixed together, further meeting the storage needs of different foods.

[0038] It should be noted that the arrangement of the sixth fold 216 is not limited to the above embodiment. There may be other different embodiments. For example, when the fourth fold 214 is arranged in the first region 221, the fifth fold 215 is also arranged in the first region 221, and the sixth fold 216 may also be arranged in the fourth region 224.

[0039] Reference Figure 7In some embodiments of the present invention, the partition plate 200 also has a fifth state, and a seventh folding part 217 is provided in the region where the sixth folding part 216 is located. The seventh folding part 217 can fold up part of the partition plate 200 in the region to form a fifth dividing part 350. Specifically, in the fourth state, the partition plate 200 is folded to form a first dividing part 310, a second dividing part 320, a third dividing part 330, and a fourth dividing part 340, and each dividing part divides the cavity into five regions. When the fourth folding part 214 and the fifth folding part 215 are provided in the fourth region 224; and the sixth folding part 216 is provided in the first region 221, the seventh folding part 217 can be provided in the first region 221 and is connected to the sixth folding part. The partition plate 200 of the first region 221 is folded up by folding the seventh folding part 217 to form the fifth partition 350. It should be noted that the fifth partition 350 is connected to the partition plate 200 through the seventh folding part 217, but not connected to the partition plate 200 at other positions, so that the fifth partition 350 can be folded up. The fifth partition 350 divides the five regions separated by the partition plate 200 in the fourth state into six regions, forming the fifth state of the partition plate 200. In the fifth state, the cavity can be divided into six regions, further dividing the cavity into regions, which can meet the storage needs of six different foods in the box, and the six foods will not be mixed together, further meeting the storage needs of different foods.

[0040] It should be noted that the arrangement of the seventh fold 217 is not limited to the above embodiment. There may be other embodiments. For example, when the fourth fold 214 and the fifth fold 215 are arranged in the first region 221 and the sixth fold 216 is arranged in the fourth region 224, the seventh fold 217 may also be arranged in the fourth region 224.

[0041] Reference Figures 2 to 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the partition plate 200 is further provided with a snap-fit ​​component 400. The snap-fit ​​component 400 is used to fix the partition plate 200 formed by folding. After the partition plate 200 is folded to form the partition, it can be fixed by the snap-fit ​​component 400, so that the partition can be more stable and the partition can support the food more stably when the box is used to store food.

[0042] Reference Figures 2 to 7In some embodiments of the present invention, the snap-fit ​​assembly 400 includes a snap fastener 410 and a slot 420. Each segment is provided with at least one snap fastener 410, and the partition plate 200 is provided with a slot 420 that cooperates with each snap fastener 410. The segment is snapped and fixed by the snap fastener 410 and the slot 420. Specifically, when the segment is formed by folding the partition plate 200, the snap fastener 410 and the slot 420 are snapped together by the snap fastener 410 provided on the segment and the corresponding slot 420 provided on the partition plate 200 at the corresponding positions, so that the folded segment can be fixed quickly.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the snap-fit ​​assembly 400 and the partition plate 200 are integrally formed. Specifically, the buckle 410 provided on the partition and the slot 420 on the partition plate 200 are integrally formed with the partition plate 200. The buckle 410 is cut out by cutting or pressing the partition plate 200, and the hole formed by folding the buckle 410 becomes part of the slot 420. The remaining slots 420 are directly opened on the partition plate 200. Therefore, the entire snap-fit ​​assembly 400 and the partition plate 200 are integrally formed, avoiding a series of cumbersome processes such as splicing. The forming is simple and can make full use of materials. The cut buckle 410 naturally forms the slot 420, saving materials.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first folding part 211, the second folding part 212, the third folding part 213, the fourth folding part 214, the fifth folding part 215, the sixth folding part 216 and the seventh folding part 217 are all provided with spaced perforated grooves. The perforated grooves can reduce the strength of each folding part, making it easier to bend and facilitating the folding of the partition plate 200, thereby improving the ease of operation.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the box body 100 and the partition 200 are both made of kraft paper. Kraft paper is easy to process and is lightweight enough. Compared with other types of paper, it has a certain strength and toughness, which makes the box body 100 lighter and more durable.
