Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food storage, in particular to a glutinous rice ball tray which is easy to separate. Background Art

[0002] Glutinous rice balls are a traditional food that is deeply loved by consumers and is widely consumed during festivals and daily life. The main features of glutinous rice balls are the diverse fillings, delicate taste, and the requirement to maintain a complete spherical shape during cooking. However, the traditional packaging method of glutinous rice balls has some inconveniences during storage, transportation, and consumer use. Especially under frozen conditions, glutinous rice balls tend to stick together, making them difficult to use, and the shape and integrity of the glutinous rice balls may be damaged when separated.

[0003] At present, the common ways of packaging glutinous rice balls on the market are mainly the following:

[0004] 1. Bulk packaging: The glutinous rice balls are directly packed in a large bag or box for freezing. The disadvantage of this method is that the glutinous rice balls are easy to stick together, and they need to be separated by force when they are taken out, which may cause the glutinous rice balls to break or deform, affecting the appearance and taste;

[0005] 2. Layered packaging: The dumplings are placed in layers on trays or boxes. Although this can reduce sticking, it may still require a lot of effort to take them out, especially in the frozen state. The problem of sticking between dumplings still exists;

[0006] 3. Individual packaging: Each glutinous rice ball is individually packaged and then placed together. Although this method can effectively avoid adhesion, it has high packaging costs, low production efficiency, is not environmentally friendly, and increases the generation of plastic waste.

[0007] In view of the above problems, an improved packaging method is urgently needed, which can prevent the glutinous rice balls from sticking together during the freezing process, and facilitate consumers to easily separate them when taking them out, while maintaining the integrity and beautiful appearance of the glutinous rice balls. Utility Model Content

[0008] The utility model aims to solve the problem in the prior art that glutinous rice balls are easily adhered and damaged under freezing conditions and are difficult to separate when taken out, and proposes a glutinous rice ball tray that is easy to separate.

[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] A glutinous rice ball tray that is easy to separate, comprising: a base with a plurality of independent dividing grooves for placing glutinous rice balls; a buckle cover, which cooperates with the base and can be buckled with the base to form a box body, and has a pressing part extending to one side of the dividing groove; wherein the dividing groove has a supporting part, the bottom of the supporting part is cylindrical and a push rod is elastically installed inside, and the base on both sides of the dividing groove has a slide extending inward, a push rod is installed in the slide, the push rod is fixedly connected to the push rod, and the pressing part includes a limiting column that cooperates with the slide.

[0011] In order to make the glutinous rice balls only contact with the protruding portion when frozen and reduce adhesion, preferably, a protruding portion is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the supporting portion, and the protruding portion abuts against the glutinous rice balls.

[0012] In order to prevent the glutinous rice balls from deforming or sticking during the freezing process, further, a partition is fixedly installed in the dividing groove, the partition is fixed to the bottom end of the supporting part and forms a sealed cavity between the supporting part, and the sealed cavity is filled with a cooling medium.

[0013] In order to reduce the friction between the glutinous rice balls and prevent them from sticking to each other or fusing together under high temperature conditions, preferably, the pressing portion also includes a protruding block, and the protruding block is integrally arranged with the limiting column.

[0014] In order to more effectively utilize the packaging space, further, the buckle cover surface has a groove sunken into the inside of the protruding block, and the groove is used to accommodate the dividing grooves of adjacent trays.

[0015] In order to be able to take out one glutinous rice ball individually without affecting other glutinous rice balls, and to prevent them from being damaged or deformed due to mutual squeezing during the taking process, the buckle cover further includes a frame and an opening and closing plate, and the opening and closing plate is rotatably mounted on the frame and is consistent with the number of vertical columns of the dividing grooves.

The limiting column is interference-fitted in the slideway to squeeze the push rod, and the push rod moves in the slideway and drives the push rod to drop, so that the glutinous rice balls fall completely into the separation groove for storage. Independently separated glutinous rice balls can reduce the risk of cross contamination. Each glutinous rice ball has its own space, avoiding mutual contact and maintaining a higher hygiene standard. When eating, consumers can open the buckle cover and the glutinous rice balls will be ejected for easy access. And because the glutinous rice balls will not stick together, the probability of damage and deformation during transportation and storage is greatly reduced, reducing loss and waste.

[0018] 2. The glutinous rice balls tray that is easy to separate can quickly and evenly freeze the glutinous rice balls by setting up a sealed cavity, preventing them from deforming or sticking during the freezing process. This ensures that the glutinous rice balls can still maintain their original round shape and texture after thawing. At the same time, the use of freezing medium can more effectively reduce the temperature of the glutinous rice balls and slow down the activity of microorganisms and enzymes, thereby extending the shelf life of the glutinous rice balls. This is an important advantage for food production and supply chain management. Furthermore, the freezing medium can provide a uniform cooling effect during the freezing process to prevent the glutinous rice balls from sticking together. This is of great help to the convenience during storage and use, reducing damage or waste caused by adhesion. Furthermore, the freezing medium is designed to be reusable, which not only reduces costs, but also reduces the generation of waste, meeting environmental protection requirements;

[0019] 3. The glutinous rice balls tray that is easy to separate, through the setting of the frame and the opening and closing plate, adopts multi-modularization to independently accommodate one or more glutinous rice balls, which can be taken out separately when used without affecting other glutinous rice balls, and can prevent them from being damaged or deformed due to mutual squeezing during the use process, so as to maintain the perfect shape and quality of the glutinous rice balls, ensure the appearance and taste after cooking, and reduce the chance of contact and cross contamination. This helps to improve the hygiene level of food, and whether it is a small family, a single person, or a large-scale catering venue, it can be flexibly used according to actual needs, and it is more adaptable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 A glutinous rice ball tray that is easy to separate includes a base 1 and a buckle cover 2. The base 1 and the buckle cover 2 are both made of food-grade plastics that can maintain good performance under low temperature conditions, such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), which ensures safety and has a certain anti-stickiness.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 The base 1 has a plurality of independent partition grooves 110 for placing glutinous rice balls. Each groove can accommodate one glutinous rice ball to ensure that there is no direct contact between the glutinous rice balls. The buckle cover 2 cooperates with the base 1 and can be folded open to be buckled with the base 1 to form a box body, and has a pressing portion 210 extending to one side of the partition groove 110.

[0032] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 and Figure 6 The partition groove 110 has a supporting portion 112, the bottom of the supporting portion 112 is cylindrical and a push rod 120 is elastically installed inside. The base 1 on both sides of the partition groove 110 has a slide 114 extending inward, and a push rod 130 is installed in the slide 114. The push rod 130 is fixedly connected to the push rod 120. The pressing portion 210 includes a limiting column 212 that cooperates with the slide (114). When the buckle cover 2 is buckled with the base 1, the limiting column 212 can be inserted into the slide 114 through an interference fit that can be pulled out.

[0033] Optionally, two first retaining rings 113 for limiting are provided at the bottom of the supporting portion 112, a second retaining ring 121 is provided on the push rod 120, and a spring 123 is movably installed on the push rod 120, and both ends of the spring 123 abut against the first retaining ring 113 and the second retaining ring 121, thereby realizing the elastic movement of the push rod 120 at the bottom of the supporting portion 112.

[0034] Through the above-mentioned structure, the glutinous rice balls are placed in the partition groove 110, and the buckle cover 2 is buckled, so that the buckle cover 2 and the base 1 are buckled into a box body, and after the buckle, the limit column 212 is interference-fitted in the slideway 114 to squeeze the push rod 130, and the push rod 130 moves in the slideway 114 and drives the push rod 120 to fall, so that the glutinous rice balls fall completely into the partition groove 110 for storage, and the independently separated glutinous rice balls can reduce the risk of cross contamination. Each glutinous rice ball has its own space, avoiding mutual contact and maintaining a higher hygiene standard; when eating, the consumer can open the buckle cover 2, and the push rod 130 loses the squeezing of the limit column 212, so that the push rod 120 is reset in the lifting part 112 and lifts the glutinous rice balls, and the glutinous rice balls will be ejected, which is convenient for taking; and because the glutinous rice balls will not stick together, the probability of damage and deformation during transportation and storage is greatly reduced, reducing loss and waste.

[0035] Each structure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 A protrusion 111 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the lifting portion 112, and the protrusion 111 abuts against the glutinous rice balls.

[0037] The protrusion 111 can be made of silicone material, which has certain flexibility and anti-stickiness, so that the glutinous rice balls can form a certain suspended space contact through the protrusion 111 when frozen, thereby reducing its contact area with the inner circumference of the supporting part 112, thereby reducing adhesion and facilitating later demoulding.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 A partition 140 is fixedly installed in the dividing groove 110, and the partition 140 is fixed to the bottom end of the supporting portion 112 and forms a sealed cavity 101 with the supporting portion 112. The sealed cavity 101 is filled with a cooling medium, and optionally, the cooling medium is water.

[0039] The freezing medium can quickly and evenly freeze the glutinous rice balls, preventing them from deforming or sticking during the freezing process. This ensures that the glutinous rice balls can maintain their original round shape and texture after thawing. At the same time, the use of freezing medium can more effectively reduce the temperature of the glutinous rice balls, slow down the activity of microorganisms and enzymes, and thus extend the shelf life of the glutinous rice balls. This is an important advantage for food production and supply chain management. Furthermore, the freezing medium can provide a uniform cooling effect during the freezing process and prevent the glutinous rice balls from sticking together. This is very helpful for the convenience of storage and use, reducing damage or waste caused by adhesion. Furthermore, the freezing medium is designed to be reusable, which not only reduces costs, but also reduces the generation of waste, which meets environmental protection requirements.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 The pressing portion 210 further includes a protruding block 214 , and the protruding block 214 and the limiting column 212 are integrally arranged.

[0041] After the buckle cover 2 is closed, the protrusion 214 presses the surface of the glutinous rice balls tightly. The appropriately tight packaging can reduce the friction between the glutinous rice balls and prevent them from sticking to each other or fusing together under high temperature conditions. This is very important for maintaining the independence and aesthetics of the glutinous rice balls, and the tight packaging can fix the glutinous rice balls to prevent them from moving and colliding due to the bumps and vibrations of the vehicle during transportation. This can effectively reduce the breakage rate of the glutinous rice balls and keep them in an intact state.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The surface of the buckle cover 2 has a groove 201 that is recessed into the protruding block 214 , and the groove 201 is used to accommodate the separation groove 110 of the adjacent tray.

[0043] When two adjacent pallets are stacked, the partition groove 110 of the upper pallet can be embedded in the groove 201 of the lower pallet, which is convenient for storage and can more effectively utilize the packaging space, increase the capacity of a single transport unit, thereby improving transportation efficiency and reducing logistics costs.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 The buckle cover 2 includes a frame 220 and an opening and closing plate 230 . The opening and closing plate 230 is rotatably mounted on the frame 220 and is consistent with the number of vertical columns of the separation grooves 110 .

[0045] The multi-module system can independently accommodate one or more glutinous rice balls, which can be taken out separately without affecting other glutinous rice balls, which can prevent them from being damaged or deformed due to mutual squeezing during the use process. This can maintain the perfect shape and quality of the glutinous rice balls, ensure the appearance and taste after cooking, and reduce the chance of contact and cross contamination. This helps to improve the hygiene level of food, and whether it is a small family, a single person, or a large-scale catering venue, it can be flexibly taken according to actual needs, and it is more adaptable.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
