[0002] Lunch boxes are common household items, typically used to hold food (e.g., dishes, staple foods, fruits, etc.). With the continuous improvement of living standards, people have gradually become accustomed to keeping dishes (e.g., vegetables, meat) and staple foods (e.g., rice) separate. This requires the use of at least two lunch boxes: one for dishes and another for staple foods. For ease of portability, these two lunch boxes are often stacked together. How to keep the stacked boxes stable to prevent spillage of soup or water due to tipping or sliding has become a pressing issue.

[0003] To this end, the Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN202800455U proposes a portable modular lunch box. From the technical solution disclosed therein, it can be seen that each box body is provided with threads on the outside of the upper end and the inside of the lower end.

The middle part of the support plate 26 is provided with an opening 28 running through the upper and lower surfaces thereof, so that it is convenient for the fingers to press upward the lower lunch box 2, thereby facilitating the removal of the lower lunch box 2 from the bottom support 4.

[0038] In the present invention, both sides of the retaining ring 27 are provided with integrally connected hanging ears 29, and the hanging ears 29 on both sides are radially symmetrically arranged with respect to the retaining ring 27, so as to facilitate uniform force on the strap 6; both ends of the strap 6 are provided with integrally connected hooks 30, and the hooks 30 at both ends are respectively hung on the hanging ears 29 on both sides, so as to realize the detachable connection of the two ends of the strap 6 to the two sides of the base 4.

[0039] In the present invention, the bottom of the support plate 26 is provided with four spaced feet 31 along its circumference, which can prevent the lunch box from slipping when placed on the table. The outer side of the retaining ring 27 is provided with four spaced protrusions 32 along its circumference, which can prevent the lunch box from shaking to a certain extent when carried.

[0040] In the present invention, the inner side of the base 4 is provided with four L-shaped grooves 33 distributed at intervals along its circumference, and each L-shaped groove 33 extends along the upper surface of the support plate 26 and the inner wall of the retaining ring 27, and each L-shaped groove 33 is clamped with an L-shaped connector 34, and the four pads 31 and the four protrusions 32 are respectively and integrally connected to the lower end and the upper end of the four L-shaped connectors 34, so as to facilitate manufacturing. Each pad 31 passes through the support plate 26 and extends out, and each protrusion 32 passes through the retaining ring and extends out, so as to realize the assembly of each pad 31 and the protrusion 32.

[0041] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0042] During assembly, first stack the lunch boxes 1 and 2 together, then press the upper cover 3 into the recessed portion 11 on the upper surface of the end cover 10 of the upper lunch box 1, and place the box body 9 of the upper lunch box 1 into the bottom support 4.

[0043] Then, the hooks 30 at both ends of the strap 6 are respectively mounted on the hooks 29 at both sides of the retaining ring 27. At this point, the lunch boxes 1 and 2 can be stably assembled together without tipping over or slipping off.

[0044] After the assembly is completed, the annular carrying portion 8 can be conveniently carried.

[0045] It should be noted that, during the assembly process, by loosening and unscrewing the locking sleeve 17, adjusting the strap 6, and adjusting the effective circumference of the annular handle 8, the effective length of the extended portion of the strap 6 can be adjusted to adapt to the change in the distance between the upper cover 3 and the base 4 caused by different numbers of lunch boxes stacked together.

[0046] When disassembling, remove the hooks 30 at both ends from the ears 29 on both sides respectively, separate the strap 6 and the bottom bracket 4, and then remove the upper cover 3 and the bottom bracket 4 respectively. Then separate the two layers of lunch boxes 1 and 2, and each lunch box can be used independently without affecting the heat preservation and freshness preservation effects, which meets food hygiene conditions.

[0047] It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, the upper cover 3, the bottom support 4, the lock assembly 5 and the end cover 10 are all plastic parts, the box body 9 is a glass part, and the strap 6, the foot 31, the protrusion 32 and the L-shaped connector 34 are all silicone parts or rubber parts.

[0048] Although this specification is described according to implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0049] Therefore, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present application; that is, all equivalent modifications made according to the scope of the claims of the present application are within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
