[0001] The utility model relates to the field of plastic products, in particular to an easy-to-tear theftproof meal box. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, with the vigorous development of take-out catering industry, take-out ordering has become the solution for most workers' lunch and dinner. As a bridge between merchants and customers, take-out riders are an indispensable part of meal delivery. Due to the large number of take-out riders and the low threshold for entering the industry, combined with the occasional friction between take-out riders and merchants, some take-out riders tamper with meals, such as stealing part of the meal or spitting saliva into the meal, which seriously endangers the interests of customers and causes food safety risks.
[0003] Traditional meal boxes are very easy to open, and it is also difficult to detect the meal box after being opened again, which makes it difficult for customers to distinguish whether their meal has been tampered with. If this problem is not solved, it will weaken the credibility of customers for take-out meals and reduce the desire of customers for take-out ordering. Therefore, the meal box needs to be improved so that it is difficult to be easily opened after the meal is packed, and even if it is opened, it will leave traces. SUMMARY

[0038] As shown in Figures 1 to 12 , it is an easy-to-tear theftproof lunch box 100 of an embodiment of the present application.
[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , the easy-to-tear theftproof lunch box 100 comprises a bottom box 10 and a face cover 20 connected to the bottom box 10. In combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 , in use, the food is loaded in the bottom box 10, and then combined with the bottom box 10 through the face cover 20 to seal and store the food.
[0040] In the following, in combination Figures 1 to 12 , the easy-to-tear theftproof lunch box 100 is further described.
[0041] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the bottom box 10 comprises a main box body 11 and a first surrounding edge 12 surrounding the opening of the main box body 11. The first surrounding edge 12 is provided with a plurality of uniformly distributed card holes 121. Each card hole 121 penetrates the first surrounding edge 12 along the thickness direction of the main box body 11. For example, as shown in Figure 7 , in the present embodiment, the number of card holes 121 is four and each side of the first surrounding edge 12 is provided with a card hole 121.
[0042] Considering that most of the current food is meat and vegetable combination, therefore, in other embodiments, a partition plate can be provided in the main box body 11. The partition plate divides the inner cavity of the main box body 11 into a plurality of storage areas, which facilitates independent placement of various foods in the lunch box.
[0043] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the face cover 20 comprises a main cover body 21 covering the main box body 11 and a second surrounding edge 22 surrounding the opening of the main cover body 21. The second surrounding edge 22 is provided with a plurality of buckles 221 corresponding to the card holes 121 one by one. The buckles 221 and the card holes 121 are buckled with each other to lock the first surrounding edge 12 and the second surrounding edge 22 together. The second surrounding edge 22 is also provided with a first easy-to-tear line 222 and a second easy-to-tear line 223 arranged around the outer periphery of the main cover body 21. The first easy-to-tear line 222 and the second easy-to-tear line 223 are parallel to each other to form an easy-to-tear strip, and the easy-to-tear strip is located on the inner side of the buckle 221. As shown in Figure 10 , in this embodiment, four buckles 221 are provided on the second surrounding edge 22, which are distributed at positions corresponding to the positions of the card holes 121. At the same time, in this embodiment, the first easy-to-tear line 222 and the second easy-to-tear line 223 are formed by a plurality of spaced-apart strip-shaped hollow grooves. In order to facilitate display, the width and length of each hollow groove are enlarged, and in actual product manufacturing, the width and length of each hollow groove can be further reduced, or in the form of a round hole.
[0044] Further, as shown in Figure 11 , in this embodiment, the buckle 221 is provided with a barb portion 2211, and the barb portion 2211 is provided with a guide slope 22111. The barb portion 2211 is used for buckling with the bottom of the first surrounding edge 12, and the guide slope 22111 is used to improve the smoothness of the buckle 221 and the card hole 121.
[0045] Working principle:
[0046] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , when loading food, the first surrounding edge 12 and the second surrounding edge 22 are overlapped, and the card holes 121 and the buckles 221 are buckled with each other, so as to lock the bottom box 10 and the face cover 20. When the customer needs to open the face cover 20, the face cover 20 cannot be directly opened due to the locking of the card holes 121 and the buckles 221, so the customer needs to tear the easy-to-tear strip to disconnect the connection between the second surrounding edge 22 and the main cover body 21. The second surrounding edge 22 remains on the bottom box 10, and the customer can take off the main cover body 21, so as to achieve the purpose of opening the face cover 20. And because the easy-to-tear strip is located at the connection between the main cover body 21 and the second surrounding edge 22, once the easy-to-tear strip is torn, the second surrounding edge 22 will be separated from the main cover body 21, and after the main cover body 21 is taken away, the second surrounding edge 22 will still be buckled on the first surrounding edge 12.
[0047] In the present solution, the bottom box 10 and the cover 20 are both made of plastic material, and the hardness of the bottom box 10 is greater than that of the cover 20. For example, if the same plastic material is used, the wall thickness of the bottom box 10 is greater than that of the cover 20. This design ensures the overall structural stability of the lunch box while taking into account the difficulty of tearing the tear strip. Based on this, in order to compensate for the hardness of the cover 20, in some embodiments, the inner side of the main cover body 21 is provided with a reinforcing rib. The reinforcing rib is used to strengthen the structural strength of the main cover body 21, so that the lunch boxes can be stacked without deformation and collapse.
[0048] In addition, in order to ensure that the customer can easily tear off the tear strip, the cover 20 can also be improved.
[0049] For example, in some embodiments, the cover 20 can also include a metal strip embedded on the second surrounding edge 22. The metal strip is located on the tear strip (equivalent to the metal strip being plasticized). The metal strip can strengthen the structural strength of the tear strip, and when the customer tears the tear strip, it ensures that the tear strip can be completely separated from the second surrounding edge 22. The metal strip can be embedded in the cover 20 during the injection molding process.
[0050] For example, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 12 , in the present embodiment, one corner of the second surrounding edge 22 is provided with a third tear line 224 and a fourth tear line 225. The third tear line 224 and the fourth tear line 225 form the head of the tear strip on the second surrounding edge 22. Forming the head of the tear strip at one corner of the second surrounding edge 22 facilitates the customer tearing off the tear strip.
[0051] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , the head of the tear strip can also be provided with a starting mark 225. The starting mark 225 facilitates the customer quickly finding the head of the tear strip.
[0052] In addition, in order to further improve the sealing performance when the cover 20 is combined with the bottom box 10, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 7 , and Figure 9 , in the present embodiment, the opening of the main box body 11 is provided with an annular groove 111. The opening of the main cover body 21 is provided with an annular protrusion 211, and the protrusion 211 is located on the inner side of the tear strip. The protrusion 211 and the groove 111 are connected to form a sealing structure at the connection between the bottom box 10 and the cover 20. The sealing structure formed by the groove 111 and the protrusion 211 improves the sealing performance between the cover 20 and the bottom box 10.
[0053] The above-mentioned easy-to-tear theft-proof meal box 100 uses the lock catch structure and the easy-to-tear structure, so that once the cover 20 is opened after loading meal, the cover 20 is damaged, the meal box is not easy to be opened, and after being opened, obvious traces are left and the meal box cannot be closed again, customers can easily distinguish whether their meal is tampered, and the food safety is improved.
[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any manner, and to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
[0055] The above embodiments only express the preferred implementation manners of the utility model, the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, on the premise of not departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
