Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage and transportation tools, in particular to an egg box and a combined egg box. Background Art
[0002] An egg box is a storage and transportation tool for transporting eggs. The existing egg box structure generally includes a box body and a box cover for covering the box body. A plurality of egg slots are provided on the box body. Eggs are stored in the egg slots of the box body, wherein each egg slot can hold one egg. The egg slots can fix the eggs and prevent them from shaking left and right. Then the box cover is closed. This not only protects the eggs, but also facilitates the transportation of the eggs.
[0003] However, there is a problem with the existing egg boxes when they are used. In the process of carrying egg boxes, the number of egg boxes that need to be carried is often large. In order to facilitate the carrying of multiple egg boxes, people will stack several egg boxes vertically in a row to carry them, so as to increase the carrying speed. The top of the cover and the bottom of the box body of the existing egg box are very smooth. Multiple egg boxes cannot be connected to each other after being stacked together. Therefore, the egg boxes of this structure are prone to relative sliding after being stacked together, causing the egg boxes on the upper layer to fall to the ground, affecting the carrying efficiency, and the eggs in the egg boxes that fall to the ground will be damaged, which is not worth the loss. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide an egg box that can be interlocked with another egg box to facilitate the transportation and storage of multiple egg boxes.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution provided by the utility model is: an egg box, including a box body with a plurality of egg grooves on the top, and a box cover covering the box body, a first connecting piece is provided on the box cover, and a second connecting piece is provided on the bottom of the box body, and the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are structures that can be interlocked.
[0006] In the above scheme, by providing a first connecting piece on the box cover and a second connecting piece under the box body, when multiple egg boxes need to be carried, the user can interlock the first connecting piece of one egg box with the second connecting piece of the other egg box in two adjacent egg boxes, so that the multiple egg boxes are arranged vertically and interlocked, which is equivalent to combining multiple egg boxes into a vertically arranged combined egg box, so that the user can conveniently lift multiple egg boxes at one time for carrying, which is convenient for carrying and improves the carrying efficiency. After the multiple egg boxes are interlocked, the connection between the adjacent egg boxes is firm, so that when carrying, the egg boxes located on the upper layer will not fall over, ensuring the safety of the eggs. In addition, after the combination, the multiple egg boxes are a whole that will not be dispersed, and their width is only the width of an egg box, so that the occupation of space can be saved and it will be more convenient to store.
[0007] Furthermore, the first connecting member is a groove provided on the box cover, and the second connecting member is a boss provided on the bottom of the box body, the boss is inserted into the groove and can rotate in the groove, and the side wall of the groove is provided with a limiting mechanism for preventing the boss from naturally escaping from the groove upward. When in use, when the boss of the upper egg box is inserted into the groove of the lower egg box, and then the boss is rotated to a position where the limiting mechanism can block the boss, the limiting mechanism blocks the boss from escaping from the groove upward, so that two adjacent egg boxes can be arranged vertically and buckled together.
[0008] Furthermore, the above-mentioned limiting mechanism is a block provided at two opposite sides of the top of the groove, and bumps are provided at two opposite sides of the bottom of the boss. When the boss is inserted into the groove, the boss is rotated to align the bumps with the block. At this time, the block is located between the bottom of the box body and the top of the bump, so that the block can block the bump from moving upward, thereby preventing the boss from escaping from the groove upward. When the boss is rotated to stagger the bumps with the block, the boss can be moved upward to escaping from the groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the side wall of the block is provided with a buckle groove, and the outer wall of the boss is provided with a clamping block at a position below the boss corresponding to the boss. When the boss is inserted into the groove and the boss is rotated to align the position of the boss with the block, the clamping block is engaged with the buckle groove. With the engagement of the clamping block and the buckle groove, the rotation of the boss can be damped to prevent the boss from rotating naturally and causing the position of the boss to be misaligned with the block, thereby further improving the buckle stability of two adjacent egg cartons.
[0010] Furthermore, the block is provided with a through hole penetrating the upper and lower side walls thereof, and the combination of the through hole and the buckle groove can improve the elasticity of the block to reduce the resistance of the block to the protrusion, so that the boss can be more easily rotated during operation to drive the block to engage and disengage with the buckle groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the above-mentioned boss is a circular ring structure, which makes it easier to rotate the boss, and the above-mentioned groove is a rounded square structure, which makes it easier to insert the boss into the groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the box body is an open structure, an egg holder is installed in the box body, and the egg slot is opened on the egg holder. When it is necessary to steam eggs, the egg holder can be removed from the box body, and then the egg holder and the eggs are placed in a steamer for heating. After the eggs are cooked, the egg holder and the eggs can be directly taken out of the steamer, and then the egg holder is installed in the box body and the box cover is closed, so that the cooked eggs can be stored in the egg box, and the freshly cooked eggs can be kept warm in time, which is convenient for the storage and transportation of cooked eggs, and the operation of steaming eggs is also more convenient.
[0013] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the middle of the egg tray, and when in use, the egg tray can be lifted by grasping the handle to facilitate taking the egg tray out of the box body and the steamer, making the operation more convenient. In addition, the handle is also provided with a hanging hole, allowing the user to insert a hook into the hanging hole and hang the egg tray out of the pot, reducing the risk of scalding.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer circumference of the above-mentioned box cover is evenly distributed with four lock buckles, which include a buckle plate rotatably connected to the outer side of the box cover, and a lock hook arranged on the inner side of the buckle plate. A lock slot is provided on the outer side of the box body corresponding to the position of the lock hook. When the box cover is in the closed state, the buckle plate is rotated to drive the lock hook to engage and disengage with the lock slot. When in use, when the buckle plate is rotated to drive the lock hook to engage with the lock slot, the box cover can be locked in the closed state, thereby preventing the box cover from opening automatically and ensuring the structural stability of the box cover in the closed state. When the buckle plate is rotated to drive the lock hook to disengage from the lock slot, the lock of the box cover can be released, so that the box cover can be pulled out to open, which is easy to operate.
[0015] Another object of the utility model is to provide a combined egg box which is stable in assembly and safe in transportation.
[0016] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution provided by the utility model is: a combined egg box, including a plurality of egg boxes as mentioned above arranged vertically, and in two adjacent egg boxes, the first connecting piece of one egg box is interlocked with the second connecting piece of the other egg box.
[0017] In the above scheme, a plurality of egg cartons are arranged vertically and interlocked with each other through a first connecting member and a second connecting member to assemble a modular egg cartons. In this way, a user can conveniently lift a plurality of egg cartons at one time for transportation, which is convenient for transportation and improves transportation efficiency.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0036] Embodiment 1
[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model provides an egg box, including a box body 1 with a plurality of egg slots 10 on the top, and a box cover 2 covering the box body 1, a first connecting piece is provided on the box cover 2, and a second connecting piece is provided on the bottom of the box body 1, and the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are structures that can be interlocked.
[0038] Specifically, the first connecting member is a groove 21 provided on the top of the box cover 2, and the second connecting member is a boss 11 provided on the bottom of the box body 1. The boss 11 is inserted into the groove 21 and can rotate in the groove 21. The side wall of the groove 21 is provided with a limiting mechanism for preventing the boss 11 from naturally escaping from the groove 21 upward. The limiting mechanism is a stopper 22 provided at two opposite sides of the top of the groove 21, and two opposite sides of the bottom of the boss 11 are provided with protrusions 12, such as Figure 5 , 6As shown, when the boss 11 is inserted into the groove 21, the boss 11 is rotated to align the position of the protrusion 12 and the stopper 22. At this time, the stopper 22 is located between the bottom of the box body 1 and the top of the protrusion 12, so that the stopper 22 can block the protrusion 12 from moving upward, thereby preventing the boss 11 from escaping from the groove 21 upward.
[0039] In the process of transporting egg cartons, if the number of egg cartons to be transported is large, the user can buckle multiple egg cartons of the present embodiment together, and the buckle operation method is as follows: Figure 4-6 As shown, first align the two adjacent egg boxes up and down, and at the same time, stagger the positions of the protrusion 12 located on the upper egg box and the stopper 22 located on the lower egg box, then insert the boss 11 located on the upper egg box into the groove 21 located on the lower egg box, and then rotate the protrusion 12 located on the upper egg box to align the position of the stopper 22 located on the lower egg box, so that the two adjacent egg boxes can be buckled together. At this time, the stopper 22 will prevent the protrusion 12 from moving upward, so that the connection stability of the two adjacent egg boxes can be ensured.
[0040] When it is necessary to disassemble two adjacent egg boxes, the protrusion 12 on the upper egg box can be rotated to stagger the position of the stopper 22 on the lower egg box, and then the boss 11 on the upper egg box is moved upward to disengage from the groove 21 on the lower egg box, so that the two adjacent egg boxes can be disassembled and separated, and the disassembly and assembly operation is convenient.
[0041] As an improvement of this embodiment, Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the side wall of the stopper 22 is provided with a buckle groove 221, and the outer wall of the boss 11 is provided with a clamping block 111 at a position below the boss 12 corresponding to the position of the boss 12. When the boss 11 is inserted into the groove 21, and the boss 11 is rotated to drive the boss 12 to align with the stopper 22, the clamping block 111 is engaged with the buckle groove 221. With the cooperation of the clamping block 111 and the buckle groove 221, the rotation of the boss 11 can be damped to prevent the boss 11 from rotating naturally and driving the boss 12 and the stopper 22 to stagger, thereby further improving the buckling stability of two adjacent egg cartons.
[0042] The block 22 is provided with a through hole 222 penetrating the upper and lower side walls thereof. The combination of the through hole 222 and the buckle groove 221 can improve the elasticity of the block 22 to reduce the resistance of the block 22 to the protrusion 12, so that the boss 11 can be rotated more easily to drive the clamping block 111 to engage with and disengage from the buckle groove 221 during operation. In addition, the boss 11 is preferably a circular ring structure, which can make it easier to rotate the boss 11, and the groove 21 is preferably a rounded square structure, which can make it easier to insert the boss 11 into the groove 21.
[0043] The egg box of this embodiment can be buckled with another egg box, so that the user can arrange multiple egg boxes vertically and buckle them together, so as to facilitate lifting multiple egg boxes at one time for transportation, which is convenient for transportation and improves transportation efficiency. After the multiple egg boxes are buckled together, the connection between adjacent egg boxes is firm, so that during transportation, the egg boxes on the upper layer will not fall over, ensuring the safety of egg transportation. In addition, the multiple egg boxes after buckling are a whole that will not be dispersed, and their width is only the width of an egg box, so that it can save space and be more convenient to store.
[0044] Embodiment 2
[0045] This embodiment is a further improvement on the structure of the egg box of the first embodiment.
