Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of containers, in particular to a yogurt container. Background Art

[0002] Yogurt, a dairy product fermented with lactic acid bacteria, is widely popular for its distinctive sour flavor, rich nutritional profile, and thick texture. Not only is it widely consumed as a healthy food, but it has also become a leader among food groups due to its diverse flavors and textures. However, while enjoying the delicious and nutritious taste of yogurt, consumers also face some inconveniences in its use.

[0003] Traditional yogurt containers, whether made of plastic, glass, or paper, all suffer from a common problem: due to yogurt's thick texture, after most of the yogurt in the container has been consumed, some yogurt will always remain on the side walls or bottom of the container. This residual yogurt is not only difficult to completely remove through conventional methods (such as pouring or stirring), but it is also easily exposed to air, causing it to deteriorate faster, resulting in food waste and a poor consumer experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the present invention provides a yogurt container that cleverly incorporates a piston within the container body and a push-pull mechanism at the bottom of the piston. Once the yogurt is mostly consumed, the user can simply push the push-pull mechanism, causing the piston to move upward within the container body. This effectively pushes any remaining yogurt from the bottom and sidewalls of the container, ensuring that the yogurt is completely consumed, thus avoiding waste and enhancing the user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A yogurt container includes a container body, a bottle cap is provided on the top of the container body, a fixing sleeve is provided on the bottom of the container body, an inner wall of the fixing sleeve is provided with an internal thread, the internal thread is threadedly connected to a coil, a piston is fixedly connected to the coil, the piston is located in the container body and is in contact with the side wall of the container body, and a push-pull device is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the piston.

[0007] In some embodiments, the push-pull device includes a fixed block, a first hinge column and a rotating plate. There are two fixed blocks, which are symmetrically arranged on the bottom outer wall of the piston. The two fixed blocks are respectively hinged to the rotating plate through the first hinge column.

[0008] In some embodiments, a hole is opened on the rotating plate, and a connecting component is passed through the hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly includes a connecting rod, a second hinged column and an L-shaped plate. The connecting rod is passed through the hole, and the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged with L-shaped plates through the second hinged column. The L-shaped plate is used to clamp the rotating plate to achieve a fixed connection between the two rotating plates.

[0010] In some embodiments, a sealing ring is further included, and the sealing ring is sleeved on the piston.

[0011] In some embodiments, the push-pull device includes a spoon, the tail end of the spoon is provided with a thread, and the outer wall of the bottom of the piston is provided with a corresponding screw hole for achieving a threaded connection with the tail end of the spoon.

[0012] In some embodiments, a closing portion is provided on the container body, and the shape of the piston is adapted to the closing portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the container body is made of glass.

[0014] In some embodiments, the piston is made of silicone rubber.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In the utility model, the push-pull device is pushed to drive the piston to slide upward on the inner wall of the container body, and the yogurt hanging on the wall of the container body is scraped off without dead angles by the piston, thereby avoiding the waste of yogurt and reducing the pollution of residual yogurt to the environment.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, two fixed blocks are symmetrically arranged on the bottom outer wall of the piston, and each of these fixed blocks is hinged to the rotating plate via a first hinge column. This design allows the user to apply force more evenly and effectively during push-pull operation due to the presence of two rotating plates, thereby ensuring that the piston moves smoothly and steadily within the container body.

[0018] 3. A sealing ring is sleeved on the piston to further enhance the sealing between the piston and the side wall of the container body, preventing the leakage of yogurt during the pushing process and ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the yogurt.

[0019] 4. The spoon not only pushes and pulls the piston, but also serves as a practical cutlery. When the user wants to eat the yogurt, they can easily use the threaded connection between the end of the spoon and the bottom of the piston, converting the spoon into a tool for pushing and pulling the piston. Simply pushing and pulling the spoon causes the piston to move flexibly within the container, effectively pushing any remaining yogurt from the bottom and side walls, ensuring that every drop of yogurt is fully utilized and avoiding waste.

[0020] 5. The closing portion provided on the container body is adapted to the second closing portion provided on the piston. This design enables the piston to always fit tightly with the side wall of the container body during movement, further improving the sealing and pushing effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 A yogurt container comprises a container body 1, a bottle cap 2 is provided on the top of the container body 1, a fixing sleeve 3 is welded or integrally connected to the bottom of the container body 1, an internal thread 4 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 3, the internal thread 4 is threadedly connected to the coil 7, the coil 7 is a hollow tube with an external thread, the external thread is adapted to the internal thread 4, a piston 5 is fixedly connected to the coil 7, the piston 5 is located in the container body 1 and fits with the side wall of the container body 1, a push-pull device is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the piston 5, and the push-pull device can push and pull the piston to move in the container body 1.

[0030] In some embodiments, the push-pull device includes a fixed block 8, a first hinge column 9, and a rotating plate 10. There are two fixed blocks 8, which are symmetrically arranged on the bottom outer wall of the piston 5. The two fixed blocks 8 are respectively hinged to the rotating plate 10 through the first hinge column 9. After the hinged connection, there are two rotating plates 10. Each of the two rotating plates 10 is provided with a hole 11, and a connecting component can be inserted into the hole 11. Specifically, the connecting component includes a connecting rod 12, a second hinge column 13, and an L-shaped plate 14. The connecting rod 12 is inserted into the hole 11. The two ends of the connecting rod 12 are respectively hinged to the L-shaped plate 14 through the second hinge column 13. The L-shaped plate 14 is used to clamp the rotating plate 10 to achieve a fixed connection between the two rotating plates 10.

[0031] It should be noted that, see Figure 4 The L-shaped plate 14 is clamped to the rotating plate 10 to achieve a fixed connection between the two rotating plates 10. This clamping method can be modified in many ways. For example, the two L-shaped plates 14 are magnets, and the clamping rotating plate 10 is made of non-magnetic metal or plastic. After the L-shaped plates are clamped to the rotating plate 10, the two L-shaped plates 14 can be brought into contact. Since the two L-shaped plates are made of magnetic materials, the two L-shaped plates 14 are attracted together, thus achieving the purpose of fixing the two rotating plates 10. This design not only relies on the attraction between the magnets to form the first level of fixation, but also uses the clamping structure of the L-shaped plates themselves to achieve a second level of fixation, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the two rotating plates 10.

[0032] In some embodiments, the connecting component is a cable tie, which is passed through the aperture 11 to securely connect the two rotating plates 10 .

[0033] In some embodiments, the connecting component is a magnet or adhesive provided on the rotating plate 10 , and the purpose of fixing the two rotating plates is achieved through the magnetic force of the magnet or the adhesive force of the adhesive.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , and also includes a sealing ring 6, which is sleeved on the piston 5.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The push-pull mechanism can also include a spoon 15, the tail end of which is threaded. The bottom outer wall of the piston 5 is provided with a corresponding screw hole for threaded connection with the tail end of the spoon. Specifically, the spoon 15 is secured to the bottom of the piston 5 by adhesive or other conventional means. During use, the user removes the spoon 15 and screws its tail end into the screw hole of the piston. This allows the spoon to conveniently push the piston 5 within the container body 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The container body 1 is provided with a closing portion 16 , and the shape of the piston 5 is adapted to the closing portion 16 .

[0037] In some embodiments, the container body 1 is made of glass, stainless steel, polyethylene (PE), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the piston 5 is made of silicone rubber, polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), or the like.

[0038] The operating principle is as follows: To enjoy yogurt, first open the bottle cap 2. Once most of the yogurt has been consumed, rotate the rotating plate 10 to drive the piston 5 and the spiral coil 7 upward. This causes the yogurt on the side wall of the container body 1 to move toward the bottle mouth along with the piston 5. When the threads on the spiral coil 7 are completely unscrewed, the user can choose to cut the cable tie or flip open the L-shaped plate 14 to open the rotating plate 10. Then, push the rotating plate 10 upward to completely squeeze out the yogurt from the container body 1. If necessary, the user can repeatedly push and pull the rotating plate 10 to ensure that the yogurt is completely removed.

[0039] It should be noted that the user can flexibly select the operation sequence according to his or her preferences: the user can first open the rotating plate 10 and then push the piston 5; or the user can first push the piston 5 and then open the rotating plate 10.

[0040] After consuming the yogurt, if you want to keep and reuse the yogurt container, you can pull down the piston 5 and then rotate the rotating plate 10 in the opposite direction until the coil 7 is completely screwed into the fixed sleeve 3. The sealing ring 6 is sleeved on the piston, ensuring a good seal at the bottom of the yogurt container. In this way, the yogurt container can be used repeatedly, not only for holding yogurt, but also for storing other viscous fluids or various items, realizing the versatility and sustainable use of the container.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
