For example, “inner,” “outer,” “left,” “right,” and similar expressions are intended only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit this invention.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 , is a schematic diagram of a cutlery storage box 100 according to the present invention. The cutlery storage box 100 comprises a hollow box body 20, a base 30 that is mounted and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the box body 20, and a bottom support device 40 mounted on the bottom of the base 30. The box body 20 comprises a lower section 21 and an upper section 22 that communicate with each other. The inner cavity of the lower section 21 is larger than that of the upper section 22. The base 30 is provided with a first slot 31, a second slot 32, and a drain port 33. The drain port 33 is connected to both the first slot 31 and the second slot 32 and is located above the bottom support device 40. The bottom support box device 40 includes a bottom shell 41 and an upper cover 42 connected to each other, a control circuit board 43 installed on the bottom shell 41 and opposite to the upper cover 42, a battery 44 installed on the control circuit board 43, and a sterilization lamp 45 and / or an atmosphere lamp 46 installed on the control circuit board 43. The sterilization lamp 45 is opposite to the inner wall of the upper cover 42 and is electrically connected to the battery 44. The atmosphere lamp 46 is opposite to the inner wall of the bottom shell 41 and is electrically connected to the battery 44.

[0037] The outer shape of the box body 20 is large in one section and small in another section, and the overall shape is similar to that of a flashlight. The outer shape design is novel and can also be picked up like a flashlight. The outer shape of the box body 20 can be set according to actual conditions. Specifically, the cross section of the box body 20 can be circular, elliptical, regular pentagon, regular hexagon, regular octagon, etc., which are not limited here. In order to adapt to the inner wall of the box body 20, the cross section of the base 30 can be circular, elliptical, regular pentagon, regular hexagon, regular octagon, etc., which are not limited here. In the present embodiment, the bottom surface of the bottom shell 41 is flush, and the lower section of the entire tableware storage box 100 is relatively large, with the center of gravity in the lower section area. The entire tableware storage box 100 can be erected and placed, which is very convenient to use.

[0038] Furthermore, the first slot 31 is provided with an auxiliary hole 34 for drainage. During use, a spoon can be inserted into the first slot 31 and placed there. Water on the spoon will flow downward under the action of gravity and flow through the drain port 33 and the auxiliary hole 34 onto the upper cover 42. Chopsticks can be inserted into the second slot 32 and placed there. Water on the chopsticks will flow downward under the action of gravity and flow through the drain port 33 onto the upper cover 42. The drain port 33 and the auxiliary hole 34 facilitate the sterilization light from the germicidal lamp 45 to enter the first slot 31 and the second slot 32 to sterilize the spoon and chopsticks.

[0039] Furthermore, a guide slope 35 is provided on the outer side of the top end of the base 30 , and the guide slope 35 plays a guiding role, making it easier for the entire base 30 to be inserted, installed and fixed from the bottom of the box body 20 .

[0040] Furthermore, the outer wall of the base 30 is elastically squeezed and fixed to the inner wall of the box body 20. In this embodiment, the base 30 and the box body 20 are both made of a material with a certain degree of elastic deformation. In actual design, the outer wall of the base 30 is slightly larger than the inner wall of the box body 20 (for example, the outer wall of the base 30 is 0.5 mm larger than the inner wall of the box body 20). In this way, when the base 30 is pushed into the box body 20 and fits against the inner wall, an interference fit squeezing and fixing force is generated, ultimately securing the base 30 to the box body 20. To improve the fit and fixing effect between the outer wall of the base 30 and the inner wall of the box body 20, one of PP, high-pressure polyethylene, ABS, or silicone can be used, as these materials have a high surface friction coefficient and can provide a certain degree of frictional adsorption. In order to further improve the installation stability between the base 30 and the box body 20 and prevent it from falling off easily, a snap-in groove (not shown) or a snap-in protrusion (not shown) is provided on the outer wall of the base 30, and a snap-in protrusion (not shown) adapted to the above-mentioned snap-in groove or a snap-in groove (not shown) adapted to the above-mentioned snap-in protrusion is provided on the corresponding inner wall of the box body 20.

[0041] Furthermore, in another embodiment, an outer ring (not shown) is further provided on the base 30, and the inner wall of the outer ring is elastically pressed and fixed to the inner wall of the box body 20. The inner wall of the outer ring is slightly smaller than the outer wall of the box body 20 (for example, the inner wall of the outer ring is 0.5 mm smaller than the outer wall of the box body 20).

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom of the base 30 is provided with a receiving groove 36, and the bottom support box device 40 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 36 via an upper cover 42. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the upper cover 42 is elastically squeezed and fixed to the inner wall of the receiving groove 36. The upper cover 42 is made of a material with a certain degree of elastic deformation. In actual design, the outer wall of the upper cover 42 is slightly larger than the inner wall of the receiving groove 36. This creates an interference fit and a squeezing force when the upper cover 42 is pushed into the receiving groove 36 and abuts against the inner wall, ultimately securing the upper cover 42 to the bottom of the base 30. To further enhance the installation stability of the upper cover 42 and the base 30 and prevent it from falling off, the outer wall of the upper cover 42 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove (not shown) or a snap-fit ​​protrusion (not shown). The inner wall of the corresponding receiving groove 36 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion (not shown) that matches the snap-fit ​​groove, or a snap-fit ​​groove (not shown) that matches the snap-fit ​​protrusion. In other embodiments, the upper cover 42 and the receiving groove 36 may be fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure or a threaded connection structure. When a threaded connection structure is used, the upper cover 12 and the receiving groove 36 are required to be circular in shape.

[0043] Furthermore, the bottom tray device 40 also includes a touch switch 47 and a charging plug 48 mounted on the control circuit board 43. The touch switch 47 abuts the inner wall of the bottom shell 41. The touch switch 47 controls the on / off and mode switching of the germicidal lamp 45 and the ambient light 46. The charging plug 48 connects to an external power source to charge the battery 44, which in turn powers the germicidal lamp 45 and the ambient light 46. The tableware storage box 100 has three configuration modes for the germicidal lamp 45 and the ambient light 46: the first mode with only the germicidal lamp 45 mounted on the control circuit board 43, the second mode with only the ambient light 46 mounted on the control circuit board 43, and the third mode with both the germicidal lamp 45 and the ambient light 46 mounted on either side of the control circuit board 43. In the third mode, the touch switch 47 operates by long-pressing. The first press turns on the germicidal lamp 45, the second press turns on the ambient light 46, the third press switches the ambient light 46 to a different color, and the next long press turns it off.

[0044] Furthermore, the germicidal lamp 45 is an ultraviolet lamp, and the bottom shell 41 and the upper cover 42 are preferably made of high-purity quartz glass material specially used for sterilization, so that the ultraviolet transmittance is greater than 80%, and it is also conducive to the lighting of the atmosphere lamp 46.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12, is a schematic diagram of a bottom support box device 40 in one embodiment. Only ambient lights 46 are mounted on the control circuit board 43 of this bottom support box device 40. Specifically, in this embodiment, four ambient lights 46 are arranged around a touch switch 47. The battery 44 is located on the other side of the control circuit board 43 and opposite the upper cover 42. Furthermore, the bottom cover 41 is provided with a snap-in groove 411, a stopper 412, and a relief hole 413. The snap-in groove 411 is located on the inner wall of the bottom cover 41, the stopper 412 is located at the upper edge of the bottom cover 41, and the relief hole 413 is directly opposite the charging plug 48. The upper cover 42 is provided with a snap-in protrusion 421, a stopper 422, and a relief hole 423. The snap-in protrusion 421 is located on the outer wall of the upper cover 42 and fits in the snap-in groove 411. The stopper 422 fits in the stopper 412. The relief hole 423 snaps into place with the side of the charging plug 48.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 16 , is a schematic diagram of a bottom support box device 40 in one embodiment. In this device, only a germicidal lamp 45 is mounted on the control circuit board 43. Specifically, in this embodiment, two germicidal lamps 45 are located on one side of the control circuit board 43, close to the upper cover 42. A battery 44, a touch switch 47, and a charging plug 48 are located on the other side of the control circuit board 43. Furthermore, the bottom shell 41 is provided with a snap-on protrusion 414 and a stopper 415. The stopper 414 is located on the outer wall of the bottom shell 41, while the stopper 415 is located at the bottom outer edge of the bottom shell 41. The upper cover 42 is provided with a snap-on groove 424, a stopper opening 425, and a relief hole 426. The snap-on groove 424 is located on the inner wall of the upper cover 42 and mates with the snap-on protrusion 414. The stopper opening 425 mates with the stopper 415. The relief hole 426 directly faces the charging plug 48. In this embodiment, the outer shape of the upper cover 42 is oval, and the corresponding receiving groove 36 is also oval.

[0047] Furthermore, the tableware portable box 100 also includes a handle 50 connected to the top of the box body 20. A snap joint 51 is installed at the bottom of the handle 50. A snap-fitting protrusion 23 that adapts to the snap joint 51 is provided on the top inner wall of the box body 20. The handle 50 is snapped into the snap-fitting protrusion 23 via the snap joint 51, so that the entire handle 50 can be quickly snapped and fixed to the box body 20. In this embodiment, a buckle belt 52 is also installed on the handle 50, which makes it easier to lift and move with fingers. To enhance the display effect of the entire product, another ambient light (not shown) can be set near the handle 50 of the box body 20, so that both ends have ambient lights, which looks very cool.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 17, is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a portable tableware box 100 of the present invention, comprising a handle 50 connected to the top of the box body 20. A snap joint 51 is mounted on the bottom of the handle 50. A snap ring 23 that mates with the snap joint 51 is disposed on the inner wall of the top of the box body 20. The handle 50 snaps into engagement with the snap ring 23 via the snap joint 51, allowing the entire handle 50 to be quickly snapped and secured to the box body 20. In this embodiment, the handle 50 is further equipped with a rounded head 53 and a hand-pull hook 54 extending outward from the rounded head 53. This allows the handle 50 to maintain its novelty while also being easily accessible for finger lifting and hanging operations.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 18 , is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a tableware portable box 100 of the present invention, wherein the handle 50 is hinged to the top of the box body 20, and the handle 50 can swing around the box body 20. Specifically, the handle 50 is similar to an open ring, and the two ends of the open ring are hinged to the outer side of the top of the box body 20, so that it can swing, which is very convenient for finger lifting and hanging operations.

[0050] The above-mentioned tableware storage box 100 is assembled from a box body 20, a base 30, and a bottom support box device 40. To store the tableware, one only needs to insert the spoon and chopsticks into the corresponding first slot 31 and second slot 32. Then, the base 30 is pushed in from the bottom of the box body 20 and fixedly mounted. To use, the base 30 is removed from the box body 20 to remove the spoon and chopsticks. The box body 20 includes a lower section 21 and an upper section 22 that are interconnected. The inner cavity of the lower section 21 is larger than the inner cavity of the upper section 22. This results in a compact overall structure and a larger lower and smaller upper interior space, which limits the space for daily necessities to move around inside, making it less likely to move and easier to carry. The control circuit board 43 inside the bottom support box device 40 is equipped with a germicidal lamp 45 and / or an ambient light 46. The germicidal lamp 45 can sterilize and disinfect the spoon and chopsticks on the base 30, and the ambient light 46 can create a lighting atmosphere during use. The tableware storage box 100 has a novel structure and appearance, is easy to carry and use, can sterilize and disinfect, and can also create a lighting atmosphere, and has multiple functions.
