[0029] See also Figure 1-5A disposable paper pulp lunch box that can be heated comprises a box body 1, a cover body 2 is movably provided at the upper end of the box body 1, an exhaust pipe 3 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the cover body 2, a cover plate 4 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the exhaust pipe 3, a plurality of exhaust holes 5 are provided on the outer side of the exhaust pipe 3, a limiting ring 6 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the exhaust pipe 3, an air inlet hole 7 is provided at the center of the limiting ring 6, a push plate 8 is movably provided in the exhaust pipe 3, a sealing ring 9 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the push plate 8, the sealing ring 9 is movably connected to the exhaust pipe 3, and a spring 10 is fixedly connected between the push plate 8 and the cover plate 4;

[0030] A locking assembly is disposed on the outside of the box body 1 , and the locking assembly includes a plurality of L-shaped fixing blocks 11 fixedly disposed on the lower end of the cover body 2 . A first supporting ring 12 is fixedly disposed on the outside of the box body 1 .

[0031] In the present embodiment, when the lunch box containing food is heated, the heat generated by the food will gather between the cover body 2 and the box body 1. When the air pressure increases, the hot air will enter the exhaust pipe 3 from the air inlet 7. Since the push plate 8 is sealed with the exhaust pipe 3 through the sealing ring 9, the hot air entering the exhaust pipe 3 will push the push plate 8 upward, so that the push plate 8 drives the sealing ring 9 to move upward, and the spring 10 is compressed. When the push plate 8 moves to above the exhaust hole 5, the hot air in the exhaust pipe 3 will be discharged from the multiple exhaust holes 5, thereby preventing the bottom of the box body 1 from being broken due to excessive hot air pressure between the box body 1 and the cover body 2. When heating is not required, the push plate 8 and the sealing ring 9 are moved to the bottom of the exhaust pipe 3 to seal the exhaust pipe 3 under the push of the spring 10, thereby preventing food soup from spilling out of the exhaust pipe 3 during transportation.

[0032] More specifically, when the lunch box containing food is heated, the internal hot air will push the push plate 8 to move upward, so that the exhaust hole 5 is aligned with the air inlet 7, thereby exhausting the excessive hot air and avoiding excessive hot air pressure inside the lunch box. When the food is required to be placed in the box body 1, the cover body 2 is placed on the box body 1, so that the fixing block 11 passes through the first support ring 12, thereby covering the cover body 2 on the box body 1.

[0033] See also Figure 1-5 As an implementation method for fixing the cover body 2: a second support ring 13 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the box body 1, a tear strip 14 is point-contactedly connected between the first support ring 12 and the second support ring 13, a pulling block 15 is fixedly provided at one end of the tear strip 14, a fixing strip 16 cooperating with the fixing block 11 is provided on one side of the tear strip 14, and a matching inclined surface 17 is respectively provided on the fixing block 11 and the fixing strip 16, and a plurality of through holes 18 cooperating with the fixing block 11 are provided on the first support ring 12.

[0034] Specifically, the restaurant staff puts the food into the box body 1, moves the cover body 2 to the upper end of the box body 1, and the cover body 2 drives the multiple fixing blocks 11 to move. The multiple fixing blocks 11 are respectively passed through the multiple through holes 18 and continue to press the cover body 2 downward. The cover body 2 drives the fixing blocks 11 to move downward, so that the inclined surface 17 of the fixing block 11 and the inclined surface 17 of the fixing strip 16 first contact each other. In the process of the fixing block 11 continuing to move downward, the fixing block 11 and the tear strip 14 are slightly deformed, so that the fixing block 11 moves to the bottom of the fixing strip 16 and is engaged with it, thereby fixing the cover body 2 to the box body. 1, when the entire lunch box containing food is delivered to the customer and needs to be opened, the pulling block 15 is pulled, so that the pulling block 15 drives the tear strip 14 to be torn off along the point contact connection with the first support ring 12 and the second support ring 13, and the tear strip 14 drives the fixing strip 16 to be torn off, thereby releasing the clamping of the fixing block 11. At this time, the cover body 2 can be moved upward, so that the cover body 2 drives the fixing block 11 to pass through the through hole 18, thereby opening the cover body 2. The customer can judge whether the lunch box has been opened during the delivery process by whether the tear strip 14 on the received lunch box is torn off.

[0035] See also Figure 1-5 As an implementation method for placing tableware: the utility model is further configured as follows: a placement chamber 19 is provided on the cover body 2, the lower end of the placement chamber 19 passes through the cover body 2 and is fixedly connected to a mounting frame 20, a partition plate 21 is slidably provided in the mounting frame 20, and one end of the partition plate 21 passes through the mounting frame 20 and is fixedly connected to a handle 22.

[0036] Specifically, by pulling the handle 22, the handle 22 drives the partition plate 21 to be moved out of the installation frame 20, thereby opening the placement chamber 19. Restaurant staff can place tableware in the placement chamber 19, and then insert the partition plate 21 into the installation frame 20. When the cover body 2 is fixed to the upper end of the box body 1, the partition plate 21 can prevent food from contaminating the tableware, so that the tableware remains clean.

[0037] To sum up, when the overall equipment is in use:

[0038] When the restaurant staff needs to put the tableware into the lunch box, they pull the handle 22 so that the handle 22 drives the partition plate 21 to move out of the installation frame 20, thereby opening the placement chamber 19. The restaurant staff can put the tableware into the placement chamber 19 and then insert the partition plate 21 into the installation frame 20. When the cover body 2 is fixed to the upper end of the box body 1, the partition plate 21 can prevent food from contaminating the tableware, so that the tableware remains clean.

[0039] When the restaurant staff is packing the food, they put the food into the box body 1 and move the cover body 2 to the upper end of the box body 1. The cover body 2 drives the multiple fixing blocks 11 to move. The multiple fixing blocks 11 pass through the multiple through holes 18 respectively and continue to press the cover body 2 downward. The cover body 2 drives the fixing blocks 11 to move downward, so that the inclined surface 17 of the fixing blocks 11 and the inclined surface 17 of the fixing strip 16 contact first. In the process of the fixing blocks 11 continuing to move downward, the fixing blocks 11 and the tear strip 14 are slightly deformed, so that the fixing blocks 11 move to the bottom of the fixing strip 16 and engage with it, thereby the cover is closed. The cover body 2 is fixed to the box body 1. When the entire lunch box containing food is delivered to the customer and needs to be opened, the pulling block 15 is pulled, so that the pulling block 15 drives the tear strip 14 to be torn off along the point contact connection with the first support ring 12 and the second support ring 13, and the tear strip 14 drives the fixing strip 16 to be torn off, thereby releasing the clamping of the fixing block 11. At this time, the cover body 2 can be moved upward, so that the cover body 2 drives the fixing block 11 to pass through the through hole 18 to open the cover body 2. The customer can judge whether the lunch box has been opened during the delivery process by whether the tear strip 14 on the received lunch box is torn off.

[0040] When the lunch box containing food is heated, the heat generated by the food will gather between the cover 2 and the box body 1. When the air pressure increases, the hot air will enter the exhaust pipe 3 from the air inlet 7. Since the push plate 8 is sealed with the exhaust pipe 3 through the sealing ring 9, the hot air entering the exhaust pipe 3 will push the push plate 8 upward, so that the push plate 8 drives the sealing ring 9 to move upward, and the spring 10 is compressed. When the push plate 8 moves to above the exhaust hole 5, the hot air in the exhaust pipe 3 will be discharged from the multiple exhaust holes 5, thereby preventing the bottom of the box body 1 from being broken due to excessive hot air pressure between the box body 1 and the cover 2. When heating is not required, the push plate 8 and the sealing ring 9 are moved to the bottom of the exhaust pipe 3 to seal the exhaust pipe 3 under the push of the spring 10, thereby preventing food soup from spilling out of the exhaust pipe 3 during the delivery process.

[0041] In all the schemes mentioned above, the connection between two parts can be selected according to actual conditions by welding, bolt and nut matching connection, bolt or screw connection or other well-known connection methods, which are not described here one by one. In the above, all fixed connections are preferably welded. Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by ordinary technicians in this field that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
