Rather, these embodiments are provided to facilitate a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there can be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there can be an intermediate element. In addition, the term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments. For example, “inner,” “outer,” “left,” “right,” and similar expressions are intended only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit this invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , which is a tableware portable box 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention, includes a hollow box body 20, a base 30 that is mounted and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the box body 20, a bottom support box 40 mounted on the bottom of the base 30, and an activated carbon sponge block 50 mounted within the bottom support box 40. 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. 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 activated carbon sponge block 50.

[0028] 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 taken 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 one by one at this. 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 one by one at this. In the present embodiment, the bottom surface of the base 30 is flush with the bottom surface of the bottom support box 40, and the lower section of the whole tableware portable box 100 is relatively large, and the center of gravity is in the lower section area. The whole tableware portable box 100 can be erected and placed, which is very convenient to use.

[0029] Furthermore, an auxiliary hole 34 for drainage is also provided in the first slot 31. When in use, a spoon can be inserted into the first slot 31 and placed, and the water on the spoon will flow downward under the action of gravity and flow through the drain port 33 and the auxiliary hole 34 to the activated carbon sponge block 50. Chopsticks can be inserted into the second slot 32 and placed, and the water on the chopsticks will flow downward under the action of gravity and flow through the drain port 33 to the activated carbon sponge block 50.

[0030] 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 .

[0031] 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, 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.

[0032] 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).

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom of the base 30 is provided with a receiving groove 36, within which a bottom support box 40 is positioned. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the bottom support box 40 is elastically squeezed and fixed to the inner wall of the receiving groove 36. The bottom support box 40 is made of a material with a certain degree of elastic deformation. In actual design, the outer wall of the bottom support box 40 is slightly larger than the inner wall of the receiving groove 36. This creates an interference fit and a squeezing force when the bottom support box 40 is pushed into the receiving groove 36 and abuts against the inner wall, ultimately securing the bottom support box 40 to the bottom of the base 30. To further enhance the mounting stability of the bottom support box 40 and the base 30 and prevent it from falling off, the outer wall of the bottom support box 40 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.

[0034] Furthermore, the tableware portable box 100 also includes a handle 60 connected to the top of the box body 20. A snap joint 61 is installed at the bottom of the handle 60. A snap ring 23 that adapts to the snap joint 61 is provided on the inner wall of the top of the box body 20. The handle 60 is snapped into the snap ring 23 through the snap joint 61, so that the entire handle 60 can be quickly snapped and fixed to the box body 20. In this embodiment, a buckle belt 62 is also installed on the handle 30, which makes it easier to carry and move with the fingers.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 8 , is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a portable tableware box 100 of the present invention, comprising a handle 60 connected to the top of the box body 20. A snap joint 61 is mounted on the bottom of the handle 60. A snap ring 23 that mates with the snap joint 61 is disposed on the inner wall of the top of the box body 20. The handle 60 snaps into engagement with the snap ring 23 via the snap joint 61, allowing the entire handle 60 to be quickly snapped and secured to the box body 20. In this embodiment, the handle 60 is further equipped with a rounded head 63 and a hand-pull hook 64 extending outward from the rounded head 63. This allows the handle 60 to maintain its novelty while also being easily accessible for finger-lifting operations.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 9, is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a tableware portable box 100 of the present invention, wherein the handle 60 is hinged to the top of the box body 20, and the handle 60 can swing around the box body 20. Specifically, the handle 60 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.

[0037] The above-mentioned portable tableware box 100 is assembled as a whole through the box body 20, the base 30 and the bottom support box 40 structure. When storing, it is only necessary to insert the spoon and chopsticks into the corresponding first slot 31 and second slot 32 respectively. Then, the base 30 is pushed in from the bottom of the box body 20 and installed and fixed. When using, the base 30 is removed from the box body 20 to take out the spoon and chopsticks for use. 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. In this way, the overall external structure is compact, and the internal space is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top, which limits the space for daily necessities to move inside, making it less likely to shake and convenient to carry. The activated carbon sponge block 50 in the bottom support box 40 can absorb moisture flowing from the drain port 33, keeping the internal environment dry. In addition, the activated carbon sponge block 50 has the ability to absorb microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and molds, thereby having a certain sterilization effect. The tableware portable box 100 has a novel structure and appearance, is easy to carry and use, can absorb water and sterilize, and has multiple functions.

[0038] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned 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.

[0039] The above-described embodiments merely represent several 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.
