Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic cover opening structure for a seasoning box and a seasoning box using the same. Background Art

[0002] Currently, common seasoning boxes often require users to manually open the lid when in use. Some products even have a snap-on structure on the lid to ensure sealing performance. Therefore, users must now open the lid when taking seasonings. In addition, since there is no place to place a seasoning spoon on common seasoning boxes, the seasoning spoon is usually placed in the seasoning box by the user. However, this can easily cause the seasoning spoon to be submerged in the seasoning, and the user needs to search for the seasoning spoon in the seasoning box when using it. As mentioned above, when users currently use seasoning boxes to take seasonings, they often need to open the lid first and then find the seasoning spoon. The use process is relatively complicated and is not conducive to users quickly taking seasonings.

[0003] Moreover, the process of searching for the seasoning spoon can easily lead to contamination of the seasoning. At the same time, the handle of the seasoning spoon is often touched by the user, and the handle itself is also a source of contamination for the seasoning. Therefore, placing the seasoning spoon in the seasoning box is not a good solution.

[0004] Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned defects has become an important issue to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model overcomes the deficiencies of the above-mentioned technologies and provides a seasoning box automatic cover opening structure and a seasoning box using the same.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A seasoning box automatic lid opening structure includes a lid body 1, the lid body 1 is provided with an upward-facing material taking port 11 for users to take seasonings, and a sealing cover 2 is hinged on the lid body 1.

[0028] The following examples further illustrate the features of the present invention and other related features to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an automatic opening structure for a seasoning box comprises a lid body 1, wherein the lid body 1 is provided with an upward-facing material taking port 11 for users to take seasonings, and a sealing cover 2 is hinged on the lid body 1, wherein the sealing cover 2 is rotated to open to reveal the material taking port 11 and is rotated to close to cover the material taking port 11, and the lid body 1 is further provided with a accommodating cavity 12, wherein a seasoning spoon 3 is placed in the accommodating cavity 12, and a linkage driving assembly 4 for driving the sealing cover 2 to rotate is provided on the lid body 1, wherein the linkage driving assembly 4 drives the sealing cover 2 to rotate open as the seasoning spoon 3 leaves the accommodating cavity 12, and drives the sealing cover 2 to rotate closed as the seasoning spoon 3 enters the accommodating cavity 12.

[0030] As described above, the automatic lid-opening mechanism of this embodiment is provided with a receiving cavity 12 on the lid body 1 specifically for placing the seasoning spoon 3. This eliminates the need for the user to place the seasoning spoon 3 in the seasoning box 7, significantly saving the user's time in retrieving the seasoning spoon 3 and preventing the seasoning from being contaminated by the seasoning spoon 3 itself or by the rummaging process. Furthermore, the automatic lid-opening mechanism of this embodiment opens and closes the material dispensing port 11 by rotating the sealing cover 2, while a linkage drive assembly 4 is provided within the lid body 1 for driving the sealing cover 2 to rotate. The linkage drive assembly 4 automatically drives the sealing cover 2 to rotate open when the seasoning spoon 3 leaves the receiving cavity 12, and drives the sealing cover 2 to rotate closed when the seasoning spoon 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 12. In this way, the automatic lid opening mechanism of this embodiment integrates the removal and placement of the seasoning spoon 3 and the opening and closing of the sealing cover 2 into one action. When the user removes the seasoning spoon 3 from the accommodating chamber 12 to take out the seasoning, the sealing cover 2 automatically opens. When the user has taken out the seasoning and returns the seasoning spoon 3 to the accommodating chamber 12, the sealing cover 2 closes again. This greatly reduces the number of steps required for the user to take out the seasoning, greatly improves the user experience, and thus increases the product's competitiveness.

[0031] Specifically, the linkage drive assembly 4 is a purely mechanical structure.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, preferably, the linkage drive assembly 4 includes a torsion spring 41 arranged at the hinge axis of the sealing cover 2, one end of the torsion spring 41 abuts the sealing cover 2, and the other end abuts the box cover body 1 so as to continuously provide a driving force to drive the sealing cover 2 to rotate and open, and a movable lever 42 is hinged in the box cover body 1, and the movable lever 42 is provided with a first end 421 abutting the sealing cover 2 and a second end 422 capable of entering and exiting the accommodating cavity 12.

[0033] The second end portion 422 is displaced as the seasoning spoon 3 enters the accommodating chamber 12 and rotates downward to exit the accommodating chamber 12. While the second end portion 422 rotates downward to exit the accommodating chamber 12, it drives the first end portion 421 to rotate upward. When the first end portion 421 rotates upward, it abuts and drives the sealing cover 2 to rotate and close.

[0034] After the seasoning spoon 3 leaves the accommodating chamber 12, the obstacle to the second end 422 rotating upward and entering the accommodating chamber 12 disappears, and the torsion spring 41 drives the sealing cover 2 to rotate open. While the sealing cover 2 rotates open, it abuts and drives the first end 421 to rotate downward. The downward rotation of the first end 421 drives the second end 422 to rotate upward and enter the accommodating chamber 12.

[0035] As described above, the linkage drive assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a torsion spring 41 and a movable lever 42. The torsion spring 41 continuously applies a driving force to the sealing cover 2, causing it to rotate and open. Once the seasoning spoon 3 is placed in the accommodating chamber 12, the movable lever 42 presses between the sealing cover 2 and the seasoning spoon 3, thereby overcoming the torque of the torsion spring 41 that prevents the sealing cover 2 from opening. It also presses the sealing cover 2 against the material dispensing opening 11 to ensure a tight seal. When the seasoning spoon 3 is removed from the accommodating chamber 12, the obstacle hindering the rotation of the movable lever 42 disappears, and the movable lever 42 is unable to provide the sealing cover 2 with a force to resist the torque of the torsion spring 41. Driven by the torsion spring 41, the sealing cover 2 opens, revealing the material dispensing opening 11. In this way, the linkage drive assembly 4 enables the linkage of the sealing cover 2 and the seasoning spoon 3, achieving automatic lid opening and closing, making it easier for users to access the seasoning.

[0036] Specifically, the first end portion 421 and the second end portion 422 are arranged opposite to each other at 180 degrees.

[0037] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, preferably, the sealing cover 2 includes a covering portion 21 for covering the material taking port 11 and a driving portion 22 for abutting the first end portion 421 , and the covering portion 21 and the driving portion 22 are distributed on both sides of the hinge axis between the sealing cover 2 and the box cover body 1 .

[0038] As described above, the first end portion 421 abuts against the bottom of the driving portion 22, so that the sealing cover 2 can be prevented from rotating and opening by the abutment of the first end portion 421. When the sealing cover 2 rotates and opens, the driving portion 22 can in turn abut against the first end portion 421, thereby driving the first end portion 421 to rotate downward, and then allowing the second end portion 422 to enter the accommodating cavity 12.

[0039] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, preferably, a limit block piece 13 is further provided in the box cover body 1 for preventing the first end portion 421 from rotating excessively downward. After the first end portion 421 rotates downward to the limit position, it will contact the limit block piece 13 and be prevented from further rotating downward by the limit block piece 13.

[0040] As described above, by providing the limiting block 13 on the box cover body 1 , the limit position of the rotation of the movable lever 42 can be limited, thereby ensuring that the movable lever 42 does not excessively rotate to a specific position and cause the linkage drive assembly 4 to fail.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, preferably, a handle portion 14 is provided on the box cover body 1, and the accommodating cavity 12 is arranged in the handle portion 14. In this way, combining the accommodating cavity 12 and the handle portion 14 together can save space for setting the accommodating cavity 12, thereby avoiding increasing the volume of the seasoning box cover due to setting the accommodating cavity 12. At the same time, the handle portion 14 can also make it easier for the user to pick up the seasoning box 7.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, preferably, an opening 141 is provided at the bottom of the handle portion 14, and a plug 5 is detachably connected to the opening 141. In this way, after the seasoning spoon 3 is placed in the accommodating cavity 12, if the seasoning remaining on the seasoning spoon 3 falls off, it will fall onto the plug 5, and the plug 5 is detachable, so the remaining seasoning can be cleared after the plug 5 is removed, avoiding the embarrassing situation that the seasoning remaining on the seasoning spoon 3 accumulates at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 12 and cannot be cleaned.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, preferably, the upper end of the seasoning spoon 3 is provided with a support portion 31 for supporting the upper end of the accommodating cavity 12 and covering the accommodating cavity 12, and the upper end of the support portion 31 is also provided with a grabbing portion 32 extending upward. In this way, the seasoning spoon 3 is supported on the upper end of the accommodating cavity 12 by the support portion 31, so as to ensure that the seasoning spoon 3 does not go too deep into the accommodating cavity 12 and cannot be taken out. At the same time, covering the accommodating cavity 12 by the support portion 31 can prevent foreign matter from entering the accommodating cavity 12 and contaminating the seasoning spoon 3. The grabbing portion 32 provided at the upper end of the support portion 31 can facilitate the user to pick up the seasoning spoon 3, and prevent the user from touching the part of the seasoning spoon 3 that holds the seasoning and causing contamination.

[0044] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, preferably, a sealing ring 6 is provided at the feeding port 11, and the sealing ring 6 is provided with a contact portion 61 that is raised upward and is used to abut against the sealing cover 2. In this way, by providing the sealing ring 6, the inside and outside of the feeding port 11 can be effectively isolated, and when the sealing cover 2 is closed, the contact portion 61 will be squeezed, thereby further ensuring that the sealing cover 2 and the sealing ring 6 are in close contact to ensure sealing.

[0045] like Figures 6 and 7 As shown, a seasoning box uses the above-mentioned seasoning box automatic cover opening structure, and a seasoning box 7 with an upward opening for containing seasonings is detachably connected to the box cover body 1, and the opening of the seasoning box 7 is located below the material removal port 11.

[0046] In this way, different seasoning boxes 7 can be quickly replaced by disassembling the box cover body 1 and the seasoning box 7, and the box cover body 1 and the seasoning box 7 can also be conveniently cleaned.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, preferably, the opening of the seasoning box 7 abuts against the bottom of the sealing ring 6, so that the sealing between the seasoning box 7, the material taking port 11 and the sealing cover 2 can be ensured.

[0048] As mentioned above, this case protects an automatic lid opening structure for a seasoning box and a seasoning box using the same. All technical solutions that are identical or similar to those in this case should be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of this case.
