Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lunch boxes, and specifically to an environmentally friendly lunch box. Background Technology

[0002] When people eat, they often leave uneaten food scraps such as chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and bones on the table. This messy food waste, along with the oil stains from the food scraps, easily adheres to the table, causing inconvenience to those who eat later and increasing the workload of cleaning the table afterwards. Therefore, this invention proposes an environmentally friendly lunchbox to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an environmentally friendly lunch box. The space formed by the outer partition allows for convenient storage of food waste during meals, and after meals, the waste can be easily transferred to the space formed by the inner baffle. This makes full use of the storage space originally intended for food storage after meals. Furthermore, the outer partition and the inner baffle can be folded up, so the overall shape of the box is not affected when filling it with food or storing food waste after meals, making it easy to carry.

[0004] Technical solution

[0005] An environmentally friendly lunch box includes a box body with an internal storage space, a lid on the top of the box body, and retractable storage mechanisms on both sides of the box body for filling food waste.

[0006] Furthermore, the storage mechanism includes a through space that penetrates both sides of the storage space. An inner baffle is hinged to one of the adjacent sides of the through space. Two first connecting edges with soft material and good sealing properties are fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the inner baffle and the front and rear walls of the through space. A second connecting edge with soft material and good sealing properties is fixedly connected between the bottom edge of the inner baffle and the bottom edge of the through space.

[0007] Furthermore, an outer partition is provided on the mutually distant side of the through space. The front and rear sides of the outer partition are fixedly connected to the front and rear walls of the through space by two third connecting edges made of soft material and with good sealing properties. The bottom edge of the outer partition is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the through space by a fourth connecting edge made of soft material and with good sealing properties.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer partition plate has a gripping notch on the opposite side surface.

[0009] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the bottom wall of the storage space to restrict the inner baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, a bottom baffle strip is provided on the lower side of the through space and fixed to the outer surface of the box. Two side baffle strips are provided on the upper side of the bottom baffle strip and fixed to the outer surface of the box. A limiting plate is provided between the side baffle strips and placed on the upper side of the bottom baffle strip for limiting the outer partition.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower edge of the lid abuts against the top of the side guard strip.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the space formed by the outer partition can conveniently store food waste during eating, and after eating, the waste can be easily transferred to the space formed by the inner baffle, making full use of the storage space originally used for food storage after eating. Furthermore, the outer partition and the inner baffle can be folded up, so the overall shape of the box is not affected when filling the box with food or storing food waste after eating. It is easy to carry, and the lid can also restrict the limiting plate. The overall design principle is simple, the structure is compact, and the operation is quick and convenient, making it worthy of promotion. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better illustrate the content of this invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples:

[0022] have Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention discloses an environmentally friendly lunch box, including a box body 1, a storage space 2 inside the box body 1, a lid 3 on the top of the box body 1, and retractable storage mechanisms 900 for filling food waste on both sides of the box body 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the storage mechanism 900 includes a through space 6 penetrating both side walls of the storage space 2. An inner baffle 13 is hinged to one of the adjacent sides of the through space 6. Two first connecting edges 12 with soft material and good sealing performance are fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the inner baffle 13 and the front and rear walls of the through space 6. A second connecting edge 11 with soft material and good sealing performance is fixedly connected between the bottom edge of the inner baffle 13 and the bottom edge of the through space 6.

[0024] Furthermore, an outer partition 8 is provided on the mutually distant side of the through space 6. Two third connecting edges 5 made of soft material and with good sealing are fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the outer partition 8 and the front and rear walls of the through space 6. A fourth connecting edge 9 made of soft material and with good sealing is fixedly connected between the bottom edge of the outer partition 8 and the bottom wall of the through space 6.

[0025] Furthermore, the outer partition plate 8 has a gripping notch 7 on the side surface that is far apart from each other.

[0026] Furthermore, a baffle 14 for limiting the inner baffle 13 is provided on the bottom wall of the storage space 2.

[0027] Furthermore, a bottom baffle 10 fixed to the outer surface of the box body 1 is provided on the lower side of the through space 6, and two side baffles 4 fixed to the outer surface of the box body 1 are provided on the upper side of the bottom baffle 10. A limiting plate 15 placed on the upper side of the bottom baffle 10 is provided between the side baffles 4 for limiting the outer partition 8.

[0028] Furthermore, the lower side of the box cover 3 abuts against the top of the side baffle 4.

[0029] Specifically, in the initial state, the inner baffle 13 and the outer partition 8 are located inside the through space 6. The baffle 14 limits the inner baffle 13, the limiting plate 15 limits the outer partition 8, and the box cover 3 presses down on the top of the side baffle 4 and restricts the limiting plate 15 from moving upward.

[0030] When eating, open the lid 3, take out the limiting plate 15, and pull out the outer partition 8 through the notch 7. At this time, the outer partition 8, the third connecting edge 5, the fourth connecting edge 9 and the through space 6 form a space for storing food waste. Food waste generated during eating can be stored in the above space, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the dining table.

[0031] When the meal is finished, the outer partition 8 can be pushed into the space 6 by squeezing. At this time, the inner baffle 13 will be squeezed, thus pushing open the baffle 14. The storage space 2 is empty because the meal is finished, and the inner baffle 13 moves into the storage space 2. At this time, the inner baffle 13, the first connecting edge 12, and the second connecting edge 11 will form another space inside the storage space 2. Under the push of the outer partition 8, the food waste on one side of the outer partition 8 can be received. At this time, the limiting plate 15 can be inserted again to limit the outer partition 8. At the same time, the food waste will be stored in the other space inside the storage space 2. Then the lid 3 is closed to limit the limiting plate 15. At this time, the overall volume of the box 1 does not change, and the food waste is conveniently separated and stored, which is very convenient.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
