[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 7, a decorative DIY lunchbox includes a box body 1, with a storage slot 2 inside the box body 1. Symmetrical hinge blocks 3 are arranged on the rear side of the box body 1, and a rotating shaft 4 is rotatably mounted inside the hinge blocks 3. Connecting blocks 5 are located on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 4, connecting the connecting blocks 5 to a box lid 6. A cover plate 7 is located at the bottom inside the box lid 6, and a placement groove 8 is located above the cover plate 7. A decorative panel 9 is located inside the placement groove 8, and multiple insertion holes 10 are opened on the decorative panel 9. The decorative panel 9 is lower than the box lid 6, and a sealing plate 11 is installed on the top inside the box lid 6. The insertion holes 10 have a specification of 4*3, and the shape of the insertion holes 10 can be circular. The box is square or rectangular; the storage slot 2 is divided into 3 vertical slots 201 and 1 horizontal slot 202; the top outer side of the storage slot 2 is provided with a card slot frame 20, and the bottom of the card slot frame 20 has a card slot 21; the outer side of the box lid 6 is fitted with a first rubber sleeve 12, and the outer side of the bottom of the box body 1 is fitted with a second rubber sleeve 13; the bottom of the cover plate 7 is provided with 4 rubber rings 14, which are divided into 3 horizontal rings 141 and 1 vertical ring 142; the front side of the box lid 6 is provided with a locking plate 16 through a fixing block 15, and the locking plate 16 has a lock hole 17; the front side of the box body 1 is provided with a locking block 18; the bottom of the locking plate 16 is provided with an inclined part 19.

[0031] This invention features a cover plate 7 and a decorative plate 9 on the lid 6, with a space between them for inserting decorative items. The decorative plate 9 has a number of holes 10, allowing users to personalize the lunchbox by inserting different decorations. A sealing plate 11 is installed above the decorative plate 9, sealing the lid 6 when the holes 10 are empty, making the product appear as a regular lunchbox and meeting the decorative needs of different users. The decorative plate 9 is made of silicone, allowing users to easily insert decorations into the holes 10 and secure them. Rubber sleeves are also provided on the lid 6 and the outer side of the box body 1 to reduce scratches and wear, protecting the lunchbox, the food inside, and the inserted decorations, thus improving stability.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 The illustrated decorative DIY lunchbox includes a box body 1, which prevents external air from entering and causing bacteria to attach and grow. The box body 1 is usually made of plastic material such as polypropylene (PP), mainly because plastic is lightweight and easy to carry. Polypropylene (PP) can be used for microwave heating, so the consumption rate of consumables is increasing. A storage slot 2 is slidably installed inside the box body 1. The storage slot 2 is mainly used to place food. The storage slot 2 is divided into multiple slots to separate different types of food, prevent food from mixing, and maintain their respective flavors and textures. Moreover, the smaller the space in each slot, the better it helps to fix the food placed inside, reducing shaking and spillage during carrying. In this embodiment, the storage compartment 2 is specifically divided into three vertical compartments 201 and one horizontal compartment 202. The vertical compartments 201 and the horizontal compartment 202 are both rectangular with rounded corners and protrude from the plane of the storage compartment 2. Therefore, after removing the space of the vertical compartments 201 and the horizontal compartment 202 from the top plane of the storage compartment 2, a flow retention area is formed. The flow retention area is lower than the vertical compartments 201 and the horizontal compartment 202. Therefore, when the user puts soup in the vertical compartments 201 and the horizontal compartment 202, even if it overflows, it will stay in the flow retention area and will not flow into other compartments to affect other foods, thus preventing food from mixing.

[0034] The storage compartment 2 has a locking frame 20 on the top outer side, and the bottom of the locking frame 20 has a locking groove 21. The entire storage compartment 2 can be installed by locking the locking groove 21 into the top of the box body 1. Specifically, the storage compartment 2 in this embodiment can be disassembled for easy cleaning. In addition, after the storage compartment 2 is locked into the box body 1 through the locking groove 21, a cavity of a certain capacity is formed between the storage compartment 2 and the box body 1. When the storage compartment 2 is designed to be disassembled by the user, the user can fill the cavity with hot water or ice water to keep the food in the storage compartment 2 warm. This further limits the material of the storage compartment 2 to stainless steel or other materials with strong thermal conductivity. When the storage compartment 2 cannot be easily disassembled, the manufacturer can directly fill the cavity with common and effective insulation materials such as polystyrene foam to insulate the external temperature and keep the food in the storage compartment 2 warm, preventing the food from spoiling under high or low temperature conditions.

[0035] The rear side of the box body 1 is symmetrically provided with hinge blocks 3. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably provided inside the hinge block 3. Connecting blocks 5 are provided on both the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 4. The box cover 6 is connected between the connecting blocks 5. That is, the box cover 6 can rotate on the rear side of the box body 1 through the connecting blocks 5, rotating shaft 4 and hinge block 3. It should be noted that this box cover 6 is only a frame. A cover plate 7 is fixedly installed inside it to seal the top. The cover plate 7 is set at the bottom of the box cover 6. Therefore, a placement groove 8 is formed inside the box cover 6 above the cover plate 7. A decorative plate 9 is provided in the placement groove 8. It is understood that there is a certain space between the decorative plate 9 and the cover plate 7. They are not completely fitted together.

[0036] The bottom of the cover plate 7 is provided with multiple rubber rings 14, which are mainly used to seal each slot in the storage compartment 2 after the box body 1 is closed, and to limit the food inside, so as to prevent the food from overflowing due to constant shaking during carrying. Therefore, the number of rubber rings 14 is consistent with the layout and number of vertical slots 201 and horizontal slots 202. This ensures that when the lid 6 is rotated to be above the box body 1, the rubber rings 14 are directly above the vertical slots 201 and horizontal slots 202, thus completing the sealing of each slot. That is, the bottom of the cover plate 7 is provided with 4 rubber rings 14, which are divided into 3 horizontal rings 141 and 1 vertical ring 142. The outer edge size of the rubber rings 14 is consistent with the inner edge size of each slot in the storage compartment 2. This ensures that when the lid 6 is rotated to be above the box body 1, the horizontal ring 141 can be fully inserted into the horizontal slot 202 and the vertical ring 142 can be fully inserted into the vertical slot 201, thus achieving the sealing of each slot.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] like Figures 1 to 7The illustrated decorative DIY lunchbox includes a box body 1, a lid 6 rotatably mounted on the rear side of the box body 1, and a cover plate 7 inside the lid 6. By rotating the lid 6 and the cover plate 7, the rubber ring 14 at the bottom of the cover plate 7 is inserted into various slots, achieving preservation, sealing, and storage of food placed in the storage slots 2. A placement groove 8 is formed inside the lid 6 above the cover plate 7, and a decorative panel 9 is placed in the placement groove 8. The decorative panel 9 is made of silicone and is lower than the highest point of the lid 6. The decorative panel 9 has 4*3 insertion holes 10 for inserting decorative items.

[0039] The quantity and specifications can be designed with even spacing according to the actual size of the lunchbox, or their special shapes can be limited at the factory, such as heart-shaped, star-shaped, etc., for a more interesting distribution. Rubber products can be inserted into the socket 10, so the shape of the socket 10 can also be changed according to the specific shape of the rubber product. The idea is mainly inspired by the design of Crocs that can be inserted with shoe flowers. The decoration usually has a locking rod that is the same size as the socket 10, which is used to ensure that the decoration can be smoothly inserted into the socket 10 and maintain a certain stability. The bottom of the locking rod is connected to a protrusion, which is slightly larger than the socket 10. When inserting, the protrusion of the decoration can be aligned with the socket 10, and then the protrusion can be pressed down on the decoration at a certain angle, causing half of the protrusion to be squeezed under the decorative plate 9. Then the decoration is rotated to move the protrusion completely under the decorative plate 9, and the locking rod is located in the socket 10, completing the installation. Decorations are usually installed on the top of the lunchbox handle. Common shapes include: flowers and butterflies that little girls like, cartoon and anime character shapes that children like, such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Crayon Shin-chan, or geometric shapes. They can be selected and installed as needed to personalize the lunchbox decoration and make the use of the lunchbox more fun.

[0040] Furthermore, considering that some people in this embodiment do not like overly complicated decorations, a sealing plate 11 is also installed on the top inside the lid 6. The sealing plate 11 is located above the decorative plate 9. When there is no decoration inside the insertion hole 10 on the decorative plate 9, the lid 6 can be closed by the sealing plate 11, so that the appearance of this product is that of an ordinary and common lunch box.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] like Figures 1 to 7The decorative DIY lunchbox shown has a locking block 18 rotatably mounted on the front side of the lid 6 via a fixing block 15. The locking block 18 has a rectangular locking hole 17. Correspondingly, a locking block 18 is also mounted on the front side of the box body 1. The locking block 18 is also rectangular in shape and has the same inner diameter as the rectangular locking hole 17. Therefore, after the user rotates the lid 6 to close the storage slot 2, the locking plate 16 can be rotated to engage the locking hole 17 with the locking block 18, fixing the lid 6 above the box body 1. This completes the restriction of the food inside the box body 1, preventing the lid 6 from detaching from the box body 1 when the user moves the lunchbox. This would cause the rubber ring 14 to detach from the storage slot 2, making it impossible to protect the food inside and resulting in the food spilling out and becoming inedible.

[0043] Understandably, the size of the rubber ring 14 is slightly smaller than the inner edge of the storage slot 2. When the user pushes the lid 6 to insert the rubber ring 14 into the storage slot 2, due to the material of the rubber ring 14, its elasticity prevents it from being fully inserted into each slot and causes it to get stuck between the lid 7 and the storage slot 2. Therefore, when closing the lid 6, the user can apply force to fully insert the rubber ring 14 into each slot first. At this time, rotating the locking plate 16 causes the locking hole 17 to engage with the locking block 18. After the engagement is complete, the lid 6 is released, and the rubber ring 14 returns to its original position, causing the lid 6 to move slightly upward. This causes the locking plate 16 to engage with the locking block 18, indirectly limiting the lid 6. Furthermore, an inclined section 19 is provided at the bottom of the locking plate 16 near the box body 1, so that after the locking plate 16 is engaged, a space is created between it and the box body 1 to accommodate the user's fingers, making it easier to open the locking plate 16 and engage the limiting function on the lid 6 for use.

[0044] Example 5

[0045] like Figures 1 to 7 The decorative DIY lunchbox shown has a first rubber sleeve 12 fitted on the outside of the lid 6, and a corresponding second rubber sleeve 13 fitted on the outside of the bottom of the box body 1. Both the first rubber sleeve 12 and the second rubber sleeve 13 protrude outwards, which can prevent scratches or wear caused by direct contact with hard objects during the placement or movement of the lunchbox, and effectively buffer the impact or collision that may be caused to the lunchbox from the outside, thereby ensuring the integrity of the lunchbox and the food inside, as well as the stability of the inserted decorations; at the same time, the rubber sleeve at the bottom of the box body 1 can also improve the stability of the lunchbox when placed on a flat or uneven surface, reducing accidents caused by sliding or tipping.
