[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, it is a partitioned lunch box 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the compartmentalized lunch box 100 includes a base 10, an inner tray 20 mounted on the base 10, and a lid 30 covering the base 10. The base 10 and inner tray 20 are both used to hold food, and the inner tray 20 can be removed from the base 10 for use. The lid 30 covers the base 10 and inner tray 20 to protect the food.

[0044] Below, combined Figures 1 to 11 , the above-mentioned partitioned lunch box 100 is further explained.

[0045] like Figure 6As shown, the chassis 10 is provided with a support column 11 and a partition plate 12. The support column 11 is located at the center of the chassis 10 and protrudes upward. There are multiple partition plates 12, which extend radially outward from the support column 11 to the periphery of the chassis 10 at intervals. For example, in this embodiment, four partition plates 12 are provided on the chassis 10, and the interval between two adjacent partition plates 12 is 90°, thereby dividing the chassis 10 into four equal-sized storage areas. In other embodiments, the number of partition plates 12 can also be two, three, five or more, and the partition plates 12 can be evenly spaced or unevenly spaced.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the chassis 10 is disc-shaped. In other embodiments, the chassis 10 may also be square, polygonal, or irregularly shaped.

[0047] In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, the bearing surface of the chassis 10 is provided with a plurality of steps 13 radiating outward from the support column 11 as the center. The steps 13 can form a height difference on each storage area of ​​the chassis 10. When placing products, a gap is formed between the bottom of the dish and the bearing surface of the chassis 10, reducing the risk of the dish adhering to the chassis 10 and being difficult to remove. For example, in this embodiment, three steps 13 are provided on the bearing surface of the chassis 10, thereby forming four bearing areas with height differences. When the dish is placed in the storage area, the bottom of the dish contacts the steps 13, and the bottom of the dish is lifted up by the steps 13 to form an overhead posture. This not only reduces the risk of the dish adhering to the chassis 10, but also makes the dish arrangement more beautiful and the display effect better.

[0048] In order to further optimize the design of the product and improve its convenience of use. Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the support column 11 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a sealed top, and a slot 111 extending from bottom to top is formed on the inner side of the support column 11. The slot 111 formed by the support column 11 can facilitate manufacturers and merchants to stack multiple chassis 10 together for easy storage and transportation.

[0049] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the inner tray 20 is clamped on the top of the support column 11, and the position of the inner tray 20 is higher than the partition plate 12. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner tray 20 is a circular tray structure, and its diameter is smaller than that of the base tray 10 .

[0050] In order to realize the connection between the inner tray 20 and the support column 11, Figure 3 、 Figure 6 ,as well as Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a snap ring 21 is provided at the bottom of the inner tray 20. A slot 112 is provided at the top of the support column 11 to engage with the snap ring 21. The combination of the snap ring 21 and the slot 112 allows the inner tray 20 to be snapped onto the top of the support column 11, providing easy assembly and disassembly and enhanced reliability. It is understood that in other embodiments, the positions of the snap ring 21 and the slot 112 can be reversed, such that the slot 112 is provided at the bottom of the inner tray 20 and the snap ring 21 is provided at the top of the support column 11 to engage with the slot 112.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the periphery of the cover 30 is engaged with the periphery of the base 10. The cover 30 covers the support column 11, the partition plate 12, and the inner tray 20. In this embodiment, the shape of the cover 30 is an inverted bowl.

[0052] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a raised ring 14 is provided on the periphery of the base 10. The raised ring 14 engages with the inner wall of the periphery of the lid 30. This engagement of the raised ring 14 with the inner wall of the periphery of the lid 30 prevents the lid 30 from being easily separated from the base 10. Furthermore, a fence structure is formed around the periphery of the base 10, reducing the risk of spillage of food juices.

[0053] In addition, in this embodiment, the cover 30 is a transparent cover. The transparent cover is convenient for displaying dishes, more ornamental, and conducive to improving user experience.

[0054] Brief description of working principle:

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the base plate 10 is divided into multiple independent storage areas by a partition plate 12, so that dishes can be stored separately from each other. At the same time, a support column 11 is provided at the center of the base plate 10, and the inner tray 20 is erected by the support column 11. The inner tray 20 and the support column 11 are connected by a snap, so that the inner tray 20 can be used to load dishes and can also be removed from the base plate 10 for user convenience. In addition, the position of the inner tray 20 is higher than the partition plate 12, so an arched storage area is formed in the center of the base plate 10, which can achieve more gorgeous dish display, enhance the user's visual experience, and realize the vertical layered utilization of space, thereby improving space utilization.

[0056] In addition, in this solution, the chassis 10, the inner tray 20, and the cover 30 can all be manufactured by injection molding.

[0057] The compartmentalized lunch box 100 utilizes a compartmentalized base 10 structure. Furthermore, a raised inner tray 20 is mounted on the base 10, providing additional storage space. The inner tray 20 is also removable, making it easy for vendors to load dishes and for users to remove and enjoy dishes individually. This design reduces the risk of food contamination and flavor transfer, enhances the presentation, and reduces the risk of damage to the dish during delivery, thus improving the user experience.

[0058] It should be noted that the partitioned lunch box 100 of this solution can also be used to hold fruit pieces, desserts, cakes, etc.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, it is a partitioned lunch box 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the support column 11 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a sealed bottom, and a storage groove 113 extending from top to bottom is formed in the support column 11. The storage groove 113 formed by the support column 11 can provide an additional storage area for dishes or tableware. For example, dishes that are prone to spillage can be placed in the storage groove 113 formed by the support column 11 and sealed by the inner tray 20. Tableware, such as foldable forks, spoons, and toothpicks, can also be placed in the storage groove 113.

[0062] The other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment and can also achieve the beneficial effects of the first embodiment, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0063] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The above embodiments merely represent preferred implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
