For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood by specific circumstances.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model proposes a container for packaging tofu, including a box body 1 and a clamping structure 6. The box body 1 is composed of a bottom plate 2, a plurality of fixed plates 3 and at least one movable plate 4. The fixed plates 3 and the movable plates 4 are both connected to the edge of the bottom plate 2, and a rotating structure 5 is provided at the connection between the movable plate 4 and the bottom plate 2 to enable the movable plate 4 to rotate around the edge of the bottom plate 2. A clamping structure 6 is provided at the connection between the movable plate 4 and the fixed plate 3 to fix the movable plate 4.
[0031] It can be understood that the fixed plate 3 and the movable plate 4 are both connected to the edge of the bottom plate 2, and the three are enclosed to form a box body 1. The interior of the box body 1 is used to place tofu, and the size of the interior of the box body 1 should be equal to the size of the tofu, so that it can fit closely with the tofu to prevent the tofu from shaking and breaking during transportation, packaging and storage. In order to facilitate the taking of tofu, a rotating structure 5 is provided at the connection between the movable plate 4 and the bottom plate 2, so that the movable plate 4 can be rotated and lowered along the edge of the bottom plate 2 to expose the edge of the tofu inside the box body 1, and the tofu can be taken from this side. In this case, the two opposite sides of the box body 1 are set as movable plates 4. By putting down these two movable plates 4, the tofu can be taken out or put into the box body 1 from these two sides, which is very convenient and will not cause damage to the tofu. When the tofu is not needed to be taken, the movable plate 4 should be fixed to prevent it from shaking. In this case, the movable plate 4 is fixed by setting a clamping structure 6 on the side where the movable plate 4 contacts the fixed plate 3, so that the movable plate 4 will not move easily and affect the packaging and transportation of the tofu.
[0032] This embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Compared with the traditional container for packaging tofu, it better solves the problem that tofu is difficult to take out of the container during transportation, packaging and storage.
[0033] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the rotating structure 5 includes a rotating head 51, a rotating groove 52 and a fixed shaft 53. The rotating head 51 is arranged on the side of the movable plate 4 adjacent to the base plate 2, and the rotating head 51 is provided with a through hole 511; the rotating groove 52 is arranged on the side of the base plate 2 adjacent to the movable plate 4, and the rotating head 51 is attached to the inner wall of the rotating groove 52; the fixed shaft 53 is fixed in the rotating groove 52, and the fixed shaft 53 passes through the through hole 511.
[0034] It can be understood that the rotating structure 5 is composed of a rotating head 51 on the movable plate 4, a rotating groove 52 and a fixed shaft 53 on the bottom plate 2. The shape of the rotating head 51 is consistent with the rotating groove 52, so that the two can fit and abut. The rotating head 51 has a through hole 511, and the rotating groove 52 has a fixed shaft 53. The fixed shaft 53 passes through the through hole 511 to limit the rotating head 51 in the rotating groove 52 to prevent it from falling out. When the movable plate 4 is rotated, the rotating head 51 slides against the inner wall of the rotating groove 52, and the inner wall of the through hole 511 also slides against the fixed shaft 53, which will not affect the rotation of the movable plate 4. This rotating structure 5 is firmly connected, simple and practical in structure, and easy to produce and install.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the snap-fit structure 6 includes a snap-fit component 7 and a snap-fit interface 8. The snap-fit component 7 is movably connected to the side of the movable plate 4 adjacent to the fixed plate 3. The snap-fit interface 8 is arranged on the side of the fixed plate 3 adjacent to the movable plate 4. The snap-fit component 7 can be moved so that its part can extend into the snap-fit interface 8 to fix the movable plate 4.
[0036] It can be understood that the clamping structure 6 includes a clamping member 7 on the movable plate 4 and a clamping interface 8 on the fixed plate 3. The clamping member 7 can slide on the movable plate 4 to extend into / leave the clamping interface 8. When the clamping member 7 is pushed into the clamping interface 8, the movable plate 4 is fixed and cannot move. When the tofu needs to be taken, the clamping member 7 only needs to be pushed to leave the clamping interface 8, and the movable plate 4 can be rotated and lowered to expose the edge of the tofu. This clamping structure 6 is easy to operate and has a simple structure, and can control the fixing and lowering of the movable plate 4 more conveniently.
[0037] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a sliding groove 41 is provided on the side of the movable plate 4 adjacent to the fixed plate 3 , and the clamping member 7 is movably connected to the sliding groove 41 .
[0038] It can be understood that the setting of the sliding groove 41 can, on the one hand, limit the snap-in component 7 so that it can only move back and forth in one direction along the groove in the sliding groove 41, preventing the snap-in component 7 from falling or slipping; on the other hand, it can also prevent the snap-in component 7 in the sliding groove 41 from protruding relative to the surface of the movable plate 4, avoiding collision damage or accidental touching of the snap-in component 7 during transportation and packaging.
[0039] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the clamping member 7 includes a clamping section 71 and a toggle section 72 . The toggle section 72 can be moved along the sliding groove 41 to allow the clamping section 71 to extend into / out of the card interface 8 .
[0040] It can be understood that the snap-in component 7 is a segmented structure, the snap-in section 71 is thinner, and the toggle section 72 is thicker, and a step surface is formed at the connection between the two. When the toggle section 72 is pressed to slide the snap-in component 7, the step surface abuts against the edge of the sliding groove 41, and the snap-in section 71 extends into the card interface 8 to complete the fixation of the movable plate 4. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, it is convenient to toggle the snap-in component 7, and it can also make the length of each snap-in component 7 extending into the card interface 8 fixed and consistent.
[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of ridges 721 are arranged on the surface of the toggle section 72 .
[0042] It can be understood that, through the above arrangement, the friction force on the surface of the toggle section 72 is increased, making the clamping member 7 easier to be toggled, and more labor-saving when toggling, thereby avoiding the situation where the fingers slip when toggling.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of drainage grooves 21 are staggeredly arranged on the inner surface of the bottom plate 2 , and a plurality of drainage holes 31 are opened on the fixed plate 3 corresponding to the drainage grooves 21 .
[0044] It is understandable that due to the high water content of tofu, there may be more water in the packaging and transportation process. The provision of the drainage groove 21 and the drainage hole 31 can facilitate the drainage of the water inside the box body 1 to prevent the tofu from being soaked in water and affecting the taste and quality; at the same time, it can also extend the shelf life of the tofu. If the tofu is soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to cause the tofu to deteriorate and rot. By timely removing the water in the box body 1, the shelf life of the tofu can be extended to maintain its freshness and taste; and it can also prevent the growth of bacteria. A humid environment is prone to the growth of bacteria and mold, and the drainage groove 21 and the drainage hole 31 can help keep the inside of the box body 1 dry and reduce the growth of bacteria, thereby reducing food contamination and the occurrence of food safety problems.
[0045] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, gripping portions 32 are provided on two opposite fixing plates 3 .
[0046] It can be understood that the provision of the gripping portion 32 can facilitate the transportation and stacking of the box body 1. Since the box body 1 is usually heavy, especially when the box body 1 is full of tofu, a stable gripping portion 32 is needed to facilitate transportation and reduce the inconvenience and instability during transportation.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, placement grooves 33 are provided on the sides of the two opposite fixing plates 3 away from the bottom plate 2, and placement strips 22 are provided on the edges of the bottom plate 2 corresponding to the placement grooves 33. The placement strips 22 can be placed in the placement grooves 33 of other box bodies 1 so that multiple box bodies 1 can be stacked.
[0048] It can be understood that a placement groove 33 and a placement strip 22 are provided on the box body 1 so that multiple box bodies 1 can be stacked. On the one hand, this can save space and save storage space and transportation costs to the greatest extent; on the other hand, it can prevent shaking and tilting, and the stacked box bodies 1 can be fixed together more firmly, reducing shaking and tilting during packaging and transportation, and reducing the risk of damage to the box body 1 and damage to the tofu.
[0049] In summary, the beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: this embodiment provides a movable plate 4 that can be rotatably lowered on the side of the box body 1, so that the tofu can be taken out from the side without being damaged, and a clamping structure 6 is provided at the connection between the movable plate 4 and the fixed plate 3 to control the fixation or movement of the movable plate 4. This embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which solves the problem that tofu is not easy to take out of the container during transportation, packaging and storage.
[0050] The embodiments described above are only preferred implementation modes of the present utility model and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Any non-substantial changes and modifications made by technicians in this field on the basis of the utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
