The locking groove 132 is 1 / 4 circle and extends inward from the bottom of the insertion groove 131 along the circumference of the protruding post 13.
[0042] Considering that meals are usually a combination of meat and vegetables, and sometimes may be served with soup, in some embodiments, the base bowl 10 is also equipped with multiple partitions. The partitions radiate radially outward from the outer side of the protrusion 13 to divide the inner cavity of the base bowl 10 into multiple independent storage areas (i.e., the partitions radiate radially outward with the protrusion 13 as the central axis). This partitioned design allows businesses to easily categorize and arrange different dishes, preventing cross-contamination of flavors. For example, three partitions can be installed inside the base bowl 10, forming three separate storage areas for rice, vegetables, and meat.
[0043] Furthermore, considering the convenience of manufacturers shipping and retailers storing materials, the top cover 20 and the bottom bowl 10 are usually stacked separately. Therefore, to facilitate stacking the bottom bowl 10, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the base bowl 10 is provided with a limiting groove 14 that matches the shape of the protrusion 13. When storing multiple base bowls 10, the base bowls 10 can be stably stacked together by using the limiting groove 14 to connect with the protrusion 13.
[0044] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the inner side of the periphery of the cover 20 is provided with a retaining ring 21 that engages with the retaining groove 11. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the outer periphery of the cover 20 is provided with a protruding second tongue 22, and combined with... Figure 1 As shown, the projection of the second tongue 22 onto the first tongue 12 in the vertical direction coincides. The second tongue 22 has a hollow area 221 opposite to the puncture area 121. Figure 9 As shown, a locking block 23 is provided at the center of the faceplate 20. Figure 10 As shown, the locking block 23 includes a driving part 231 and a locking part 232, wherein the driving part 231 is 1 / 4 cylindrical and the locking part 232 is 1 / 2 disc shaped. Half of the locking part 232 is inserted into the locking groove 132.
[0045] In some embodiments, the cover 20 is a transparent cover. The transparent cover allows customers to clearly observe the contents of the food in the bottom bowl 10.
[0046] like Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the cover 20 is provided with a handle 24. The handle 24 facilitates the operation of the cover 20 by the merchant and the customer.
[0047] Further, the handle 24 can also be provided with a cutlery slot 241. The cutlery slot 241 is used to clamp cutlery. The cutlery slot 241 can make the cutlery stably clamped on the cover 20, improving the convenience of food delivery.
[0048] Working principle:
[0049] As shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 , in use, the food is received in the inner cavity of the bottom bowl 10. Then, the driving part 231 of the locking block 23 of the cover 20 is inserted into the insertion slot 131 of the protruding column 13 of the bottom bowl 10. Then, the cover 20 is rotated 90° towards the first tongue 12, and in this process, the arc surface of the driving part 231 slides relative to the inner wall of the insertion slot 131, so that the driving part 231 rotates with the center axis of the protruding column 13 as the rotation axis. As shown in Figures 1 to 5 , when the first tongue 12 coincides with the second tongue 22, the locking part 232 of the locking block 23 is embedded into the locking slot 132, achieving the locking of the cover 20 and the bottom bowl 10 in the vertical direction. Then, the merchant penetrates the first tongue 12 through the hollow area 221 on the second tongue 22 by means of the staple, so as to lock the first tongue 12 and the second tongue 22 together by means of the staple, thereby achieving the locking of the cover 20 and the bottom bowl 10 in the circumferential direction, so that the locking block 23 cannot be pulled out of the locking slot 132. When the customer needs to enjoy the food, the staple is removed or the first tongue 12 and the second tongue 22 are torn by means of the staple, so as to unlock the cover 20 and the bottom bowl 10.
[0050] When the bottom bowl 10 and the cover 20 are combined, the locking part 232 and the insertion slot 131 can be aligned, and then the locking block 23 is inserted into the insertion slot 131. Then, the cover 20 is rotated 90° towards the first tongue 12 until the first tongue 12 and the second tongue 22 coincide. In order to make the operation more convenient, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6 , in this embodiment, the outer side of the periphery of the bottom bowl 10 can also be provided with an outwardly protruding third tongue 15. The third tongue 15 is spaced 90° from the first tongue 12. The third tongue 15 facilitates the merchant to quickly find the accurate insertion position when assembling the cover 20 to the bottom bowl 10.
[0051] In addition, in order to further strengthen the stability of the combination of the bottom bowl 10 and the cover 20, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 9As shown, in the embodiment, a pressing block is arranged at the center of the face cover 20. A locking block 23 is arranged on the pressing block. The pressing block is provided with a pressing part abutting against the top of the convex column 13. When the face cover 20 is locked with the bottom bowl 10, the pressing block and the locking block 23 can form a clamping effect on the convex column 13, improving the stability of the locking.
[0052] The above-mentioned rotatable locking bento box 100 utilizes the rotatable locking structure, and cooperates with the first tongue 12 and the second tongue 22 locked by the staple, so as to realize the locking between the face cover 20 and the bottom bowl 10. The face cover 20 and the bottom bowl 10 are not easy to be loosened, and the food stability is good. At the same time, the customer can know whether the face cover 20 is disassembled by observing the staple on the first tongue 12 and the second tongue 22, and the safety of the food is improved.
[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist contradictory, it should be considered as the scope of the present application.
[0054] The above embodiments only express the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as the limitation of the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
