Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of packaging, and particularly to a tray structure. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous enrichment of ice cream products, the product categories have become increasingly diversified. Dessert + ice cream is a cross-border ice cream product that has become popular in the past two years and is deeply loved by consumers. Generally speaking, dessert + ice cream is divided into two forms. One is the freshly made non-prepackaged form sold in bakeries or tea shops, and the other is the prepackaged form sold in terminal freezers. Prepackaged dessert + ice cream generally needs to be used in combination with a tray to prevent the product from deforming due to extrusion during transportation.

[0003] Conventional boxed ice cream without dessert needs to be equipped with a spoon for easy consumption. However, since dessert ice cream has a dessert part and cannot be scooped, generally no spoon is matched during the packaging process. Instead, the product is directly placed in the tray, and consumers take out the product from the tray for consumption.

[0004] When current consumers take out the product from the tray, the product usually comes into direct contact with the hand, resulting in stickiness and a poor consumer experience.

[0005] Therefore, how to facilitate the removal of the product from the tray and improve the consumer experience has always been a concern for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a tray structure that can be separated from direct contact with food and does not make the hand sticky when taking out the food.

[0007] The present application provides a tray structure for containing food, including:

[0008] A box body, including a receiving cavity with an opening;

[0009] A cushion paper, at least partially located inside the receiving cavity and detachably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, the cushion paper having a grasping portion;

[0010] The box body is provided with a notch, the notch is opposite to the grasping portion and extends along the food removal direction to the opening.

[0011] When the food is put into the box, the frozen food is directly placed inside the receiving cavity of the box body, and then packaged.

[0012] When it is necessary to take out the food self-supporting box structure, since there are openings on the box body, the fingers of the consumer can pass through the openings and hold the grasping part of the cushion paper, and hold the food, and drive the food to move along the extending direction of the opening, so as to take the food out of the inside of the accommodating cavity. In this way, problems such as the product sticking to the hand and making the hand icy during the grasping process are avoided. After the cushion paper is taken out with the food, it can be put back into the accommodating cavity of the box body together with the product again, which increases the experience and convenience during the consumption process of the consumer.

[0013] In one example, the cushion paper and the box body are of an integral structure, and the cushion paper and the box body are connected by an easy-to-tear structure.

[0014] In one example, the easy-to-tear structure includes an easy-to-tear line structure or an indentation.

[0015] In one example, the cushion paper and the box body are of a split structure, and the cushion paper is fitted and attached to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity.

[0016] In one example, the number of the grasping parts is two, and the two are arranged oppositely; two openings are provided on the box body, which respectively correspond to the two grasping parts.

[0017] In one example, the two openings are respectively defined as a first opening and a second opening, and the cushion paper extends from the first opening to the second opening.

[0018] In one example, the width of the cushion paper is less than or equal to the maximum width of the opening.

[0019] In one example, the opening is a tapered opening, and the farther away from the opening, the smaller the width of the opening.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the tray box structure in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is Figure 1 another perspective schematic diagram of the tray box structure shown.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application provides a tray box structure for containing food, especially for containing ice cream food with pastries. Generally, spoons are not matched during the packaging process of this type of ice cream food, and it is directly placed in the tray box structure. Of course, it is not excluded that the tray box structure provided by the embodiment of the present application can be used to contain other foods to solve the same or similar technical problems as the present application.

[0029] The tray box structure in the embodiment of the present application includes a box body 1 and a cushion paper 2. Among them, the box body 1 has certain support performance, that is, the box body 1 can play a role in protecting and supporting the food contained therein, and prevent it from being squeezed and deformed during transportation and sales. The box body 1 can be made of paper material or plastic material. The specific structure of the box body 1 depends on the shape of the product it contains. Figure 1 and Figure 2 shows that the box body 1 is generally a cuboid structure. Of course, the box body 1 can also be cylindrical or other polygonal structures, and the specific shape of the box body 1 will not be elaborated herein.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the box body 1 includes an accommodating cavity 10 with an opening 13. One side of the box body 1 can be an open structure, and the open structure is the opening 13. Food can be placed into the accommodating cavity 10 from the opening 13.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the cushion paper 2 is at least partially located inside the accommodating cavity 10. That is to say, the cushion paper 2 can be partially located inside the accommodating cavity 10 or entirely located inside the accommodating cavity 10. The main function of the cushion paper 2 is to isolate the food from the consumer's hand. The cushion paper 2 can completely cover the accommodating cavity 10. Of course, the cushion paper 2 can also only cover a part of the area of the accommodating cavity 10, and the cushion paper 2 is only provided at the position where the consumer contacts the food. The accompanying drawings show an example where the cushion paper 2 is provided in a part of the area of the accommodating cavity 10.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present application, the cushion paper 2 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 10. That is to say, under the action of a force, the cushion paper 2 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 10 can be separated. In one case, the cushion paper 2 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 10 have no connection relationship in themselves and are relatively independent; in another case, the cushion paper 2 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 10 have a connection relationship, but they can be relatively separated under the action of an external force.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present application, the cushion paper 2 has a grasping portion, which is mainly used for consumers to hold by hand. In the box body 1 of the present application embodiment, there is a notch 1a, which is opposite to the grasping portion and extends along the food taking-out direction to the opening 13. The lowest position of the notch 1a is lower than the height of the food.

[0034] When packing the food into the box, the frozen food is directly placed into the inner part of the accommodating cavity 10 of the box body 1, and then wrapped.

[0035] When it is necessary to take out the food from the tray structure, because there is a notch 1a on the box body 1, the fingers of the consumer can pass through the notch 1a to hold the grasping portion of the cushion paper 2 and hold the food, and drive the food to move along the extending direction of the notch 1a to take the food out of the inner part of the accommodating cavity 10. In this way, problems such as the product sticking to the hand and making the hand icy during the grasping process are avoided. After the cushion paper 2 is taken out with the food, it can be put back into the accommodating cavity 10 of the box body 1 together with the product again, increasing the experience and convenience of consumers during the eating process.

[0036] In one example, the cushion paper 2 and the box body 1 can be of a split structure, and the cushion paper 2 is fitted to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 10. The cushion paper 2 and the box body 1 are processed separately, and the process is simple.

[0037] In the embodiments of the present application, the cushion paper 2 and the box body 1 are of an integral structure, and the cushion paper 2 and the box body 1 are connected by an easy-to-tear structure. Compared with the split structure of the cushion paper 2 and the box body 1, the cushion paper 2 and the box body 1 are of an integral structure, and the two do not need subsequent assembly, reducing the manual labor intensity. And in the tray structure, the manual process of adding the cushion paper 2 during the packaging process is reduced, avoiding product contamination and improving production efficiency.

[0038] The above-mentioned easy-to-tear structure can be an easy-to-tear structure including an easy-to-tear line structure or an indentation. This kind of cushion paper 2 and box body 1 can be formed during processing, with a simple process and easy to tear.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, the number of the grasping portions is two, and they are arranged oppositely; there are two notches 1a on the box body 1, which respectively correspond to the two grasping portions. This conforms to the grasping habit of consumers, and the grasping is simple and convenient.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the two notches 1a are respectively defined as the first notch 1a and the second notch 1a, and the cushion paper 2 extends from the first notch 1a to the second notch 1a. The cushion paper 2 is generally strip-shaped, reducing the packaging material and saving costs.

[0041] Wherein, the width L of the cushion paper 2 is less than or equal to the maximum width of the notch 1a. On the basis of meeting the grasping requirement, the width of the cushion paper 2 is minimized as much as possible.

[0042] In the present application, the end of the cushion paper 2 can be flush with the opening 13, and the appearance after packaging is more beautiful.

[0043] Furthermore, the notch 1a is a tapered notch. The farther away from the opening 13, the smaller the width of the notch 1a. In this way, the box body 1 reduces less material and has a higher supporting capacity.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the box body 1 includes a peripheral wall 11 and a bottom wall 12. The peripheral wall 11 and the bottom wall 12 enclose a receiving cavity 10. The bottom wall 12 is connected to one end of the peripheral wall 11, and the other end of the peripheral wall 11 forms an opening 13. The notch 1a is provided on the peripheral wall 11.

[0045] Wherein, the peripheral wall 11 has a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112 which are oppositely arranged, and the notch 1a is provided on both the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112. This type of tray box structure is convenient for processing and forming.
