[0027] At present, the heat-sealed cover or snap cover of the packaging bowl is provided with a drain structure, which usually includes a drain part and a covering layer. Among them, the drain part is mainly a structure containing an AL layer. After tearing off the covering layer on the drain part, the user cannot directly see the contents through the drain part, and cannot control the water volume and see the draining status. Therefore, the user often uses a timing method to determine whether the contents are edible, which is very inconvenient to use and affects the user experience.
[0028] To address this problem, the utility model provides a packaging container, the drain portion of which is made of transparent material, so that the contents can be directly seen through the drain portion, which makes it convenient to control the amount of water, provide a visual brewing reminder, and facilitate observation of the drainage situation, thereby effectively improving the user experience and the aesthetics of the packaging container.
[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] The present invention provides a packaging container, which includes:
[0031] container body;
[0032] and container lids;
[0033] Wherein, a drain structure is provided on the container cover, and the drain structure comprises: a drain portion located on the container cover, and a covering layer covering the drain portion; wherein, a drain port is provided on the drain portion, and the drain portion is made of a transparent material; a liquid level marking line is provided on the side wall of the drain port, and the liquid level marking line is used to mark the remaining amount of liquid in the container body.
[0034] Since the drain portion is made of transparent material, the content can be directly seen through the drain portion, making the packaging container more convenient to use.
[0035] In a specific implementation, the container body can have a variety of shapes, which are not limited here. For example, the container body can be bowl-shaped, plate-shaped, or rectangular. The container body has a storage space, and the storage space can be used to place the contents and brew the contents. The contents include but are not limited to instant noodles.
[0036] In a specific implementation, the container cover can be covered with the container body opening in a variety of ways. For example, the container cover can be a heat-sealed cover or a snap-on cover, which is not limited here. The snap-on cover refers to a container cover that is covered with the container body opening in a snap-on manner.
[0037] In an embodiment of the utility model, a drain structure is provided on the container cover, and the drain structure is used to drain the liquid used for brewing the contents in the accommodating space. Specifically, the drain structure includes: a drain portion located on the container cover, and a covering layer covering the drain portion.
[0038] Figure 1 It is a top view of a container cover in one embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Top view of the container cover after removing the covering layer. Figure 3 for Figure 1 A top view of the middle container cover when the covering layer covers the drain portion.
[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The container cover 10 has a drain structure 11, which has a drain portion 111 and a covering layer 112. The drain portion 111 may include a plurality of drain ports 111a, which penetrate the drain portion 111, so that the liquid in the accommodation space can be discharged.
[0040] Specifically, in addition to the drain opening 111a, the drain portion 111 may also include a spacer 111b connected to the drain opening 111a. Multiple drain openings 111a may be arranged alternately in the drain portion 111, and the specific arrangement order is not limited. Adjacent drain openings 111a are separated by spacers 111b. The spacers 111b are made of transparent material. Thus, through the spacers 111b of the drain portion 111, the amount of water in the containing space and the brewing status of the contents can be seen.
[0041] In a specific implementation, in addition to the drain portion 111, the container cover 10 also has a covering portion 12 surrounding the drain portion 111. The covering portion 12 is connected to the drain portion 111 and is used to cover the container cover 10 on the container body. The film layer structure of the covering portion 12 and the drain portion 111 can be the same or different.
[0042] In a specific implementation, the drain portion 111 may be formed by at least one transparent film layer. In other words, the spacer 111b may be formed by at least one transparent film layer. The material of the transparent film layer may be polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene (PE).
[0043] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 The drain portion 11 includes: a heat seal layer 41 and a first cutter layer 42 located above the heat seal layer 41. The heat seal layer 41 is used for heat sealing with the container body. A semi-die cutting process can be performed on the first cutter layer 42 to form a drain portion different from the capping portion 12, and the drain port penetrates the heat seal layer 41 and the first cutter layer 42. The spacer 111b can be located on the same layer as the first cutter layer 42.
[0044] Specifically, the material of the heat-sealing layer 41 may be polyethylene, and the material of the first carrier layer 42 may be polyethylene terephthalate.
[0045] In other embodiments, the drain portion 111 may further include other transparent film layers, so that the drain portion 111 has a structure of more than three layers. For example, at least one polyethylene layer may be provided between the heat seal layer 41 and the first backing layer 42, and the drain port penetrates the heat seal layer 41, the first backing layer 42, and the film layer between the heat seal layer 41 and the first backing layer 42, so as to enhance the strength of the drain portion 111 and maintain the transparency of the drain portion 111.
[0046] In one embodiment of the utility model, in order to further improve the convenience of use, the side wall of the drain port 111a may also be provided with a liquid level marking line. The liquid level marking line can be used to mark the amount of liquid remaining in the container. During the draining process, the user can judge the amount of liquid remaining in the container by observing the distance between the water level line and the liquid level marking line. When the water level line coincides with the liquid level marking line, it means that the amount of liquid remaining in the container has reached a relatively ideal state. This technology is particularly suitable for products such as dry noodles. By setting the liquid level marking line, it helps consumers determine the appropriate amount of water in the container, thereby achieving the best taste of the product.
[0047] Furthermore, the present application provides another embodiment, combining Figure 6 As shown, multiple drain ports 111a are layered into three drain areas A, B and C along the longitudinal extension line of drain, and different drain areas correspond to different product taste areas; among them, area A corresponds to a moist taste area, area B corresponds to an optimal taste (neither dry nor wet) area, and area C corresponds to a dry taste area. Different liquid level marking lines are set for different product taste areas. When the water level reaches the liquid level marking lines of different areas during draining, it means the corresponding taste of the food in the container at this time.
[0048] Furthermore, the liquid level marking lines in different areas can be distinguished by different colors, thereby increasing the interactive fun of users, such as red for a drier taste, yellow for the best taste, and green for a moister taste.
[0049] It should be noted that the technical solution provided in the present application is not limited to the above, and the technicians can set corresponding liquid level marking lines in combination with the drain outlets of different containers during the design and manufacturing process.
[0050] After draining, by observing the distance from the liquid level in the containing space to the liquid level marking line, the capacity of the remaining water in the containing space can be accurately determined, so that consumers can determine whether the amount of drainage meets their needs to meet the different taste requirements of consumers.
[0051] In a specific implementation, the thickness of the drain portion 111 can be set according to the weight of the contents and the liquid in the accommodating space, so that the drain portion 111 can provide sufficient supporting force when draining without damaging the drain portion structure.
[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the drain portion 111 can be set to be above 60um. When the thickness of the drain portion 111 is less than 60um, it is easy to be damaged during draining. When the thickness of the drain portion 111 is above 60um, it can provide sufficient support force to avoid damage.
[0053] In a specific implementation, when the covering layer 112 covers the drain portion 111, it can be peeled off from above the drain portion 111. For example, the covering layer 112 can be pasted on the drain portion 111. When draining is required, the covering layer 112 can be peeled off from above the drain portion 111. After the covering layer 112 covers the drain portion 111, it can be flush with the upper surface of the covering portion 12.
[0054] In a specific implementation, the material of the cover layer 112 may be a non-transparent material. In this case, the cover layer 112 may include an aluminum (Al) layer, which acts as an oxygen barrier to prevent oxygen from entering the receiving space. After the cover layer 112 is removed from above the drain portion 111, the user can observe the contents of the receiving space.
[0055] In one embodiment, the material of the covering layer 112 may also be a transparent material. In this case, the contents in the containing space can be observed directly from above the covering layer 112, and the convenience of use and the aesthetics of the packaging container can be further improved.
[0056] In a specific implementation, the transparent cover layer 112 can have various structures.
[0057] In one embodiment, the cover layer 112 may include at least one transparent film layer. The material of the transparent film layer may be polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene (PE). In addition, the transparent film layer may be used as a second carrier layer and may be used to perform a semi-die cutting process, thereby forming a drainage portion different from the covering portion 12.
[0058] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The cover layer 112 may include: a second carrier layer 51 and a printing layer 52 located above the second carrier layer 51. The second carrier layer 51 and the printing layer 52 may be made of transparent materials. For example, the second carrier layer 51 may be made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or paper, and the printing layer 52 may be made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The printing layer 52 may be printed with a corresponding pattern.
[0059] In a specific implementation, at least one polyethylene layer may be disposed between the second carrier layer 51 and the printing layer 52 to enhance the strength of the cover layer 112 and maintain the transparency of the cover layer 112. The number of the polyethylene layer may be only one, or two or more layers.
[0060] In one embodiment of the utility model, a temperature-sensitive color strip may be provided on the printing layer 52. Specifically, the printing layer 52 may be formed by printing with thermochromic ink, and the thermochromic ink may serve as the temperature-sensitive color strip. When the color of the temperature-sensitive color strip completely changes to colorless or other colors, it indicates that the contents are ready to be consumed. When the color of the temperature-sensitive color strip does not change, it indicates that the contents are not ready to be consumed.
[0061] By providing a temperature-sensitive color band on the printed layer 52, it can be used as a brewing reminder, so that the user can more conveniently know the brewing status of the contents, further improving the convenience of use.
[0062] In a specific implementation, when the covering layer 112 is a non-transparent material, the film layer structure of the covering part 12 is the same as the film layer structure of the drainage structure 11. At this time, both the covering part 12 and the drainage structure 11 can contain an aluminum layer, so that the entire container cover 10 has oxygen barrier properties.
[0063] In a specific implementation, when the covering layer 112 is made of a transparent material, the film layer structure of the covering portion 12 and the film layer structure of the drainage structure 11 may be the same or different.
[0064] According to the solution of the utility model, a transparent drain portion is provided on the container cover of the packaging container, which is not only convenient for controlling the amount of liquid in the accommodating space, but also convenient for observing the brewing status of the contents through the drain portion, thereby effectively improving the convenience of use.
[0065] In addition, setting the covering layer as a transparent structure can also further enhance the aesthetics of the packaging container.
[0066] Although the utility model is disclosed as above, the utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
