[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, characteristics and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 The utility model embodiment provides a packaging container, the packaging container can include: container body and the barrier film layer 12 in the container body. Among them:
[0035] The container body has a containing space. The barrier film layer 12 is a soluble film layer, which is used to divide the containing space of the container body into at least two cavities, and the at least two cavities are used to contain different materials.
[0036] Specifically, the container body comprises a container wall 111, a container cover 112 and a container bottom 113. The container bottom 113 is located at one end of the container wall 111, and the container cover 112 is located at the other end of the container wall 111. The container wall 111, the container cover 112 and the container bottom 113 can form a closed containing space. The containing space can be a cuboid, a cube, a cylinder or a cone, etc.
[0037] In specific implementations, the containing space can be used to contain two or more materials. The materials include but are not limited to: instant food, seasonings and tableware. The instant food includes but is not limited to bread. The seasonings include but are not limited to sauce packets, oil packets, powder packets, etc. The tableware can be a fork or a spoon.
[0038] In specific implementations, the barrier film layer 12 is a soluble film layer that can completely dissolve when it comes into contact with water. The barrier film layer 12 can be a single-layer structure, or a double-layer or multi-layer structure.
[0039] When the barrier film layer 12 is a single-layer structure, the single-layer barrier film layer 12 has a certain load-bearing capacity, and the tableware or certain seasoning packets can be placed on the barrier film layer 12. At this time, the barrier film layer 12 can be formed by using at least one edible material such as edible polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin, sodium alginate, starch-based materials, etc. For example, the barrier film layer 12 can be completely formed by using polyvinyl alcohol, or completely formed by using sodium alginate.
[0040] When the barrier film layer 12 is a double-layer or multi-layer structure, each layer of the barrier film layer 12 is an edible film layer. At this time, the barrier film layer 12 can be formed by using two or more materials such as edible polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin and sodium alginate.
[0041] For example, the barrier film layer 12 can be a double-layer structure, which specifically can comprise a first barrier sub-layer and a second barrier sub-layer. The first barrier sub-layer is formed by using edible polyvinyl alcohol, and the second barrier sub-layer is formed by using gelatin.
[0042] For another example, the barrier film layer 12 can be a three-layer structure, which specifically can comprise a first barrier sub-layer, a second barrier sub-layer and a third barrier sub-layer. The first barrier sub-layer is formed by using edible polyvinyl alcohol, the second barrier sub-layer is formed by using gelatin, and the third barrier sub-layer is formed by using sodium alginate.
[0043] In some embodiments, the barrier film layer can further comprise a printing layer. The printing layer is located on the side of the barrier film layer facing the opening of the container body. Through the printing layer, content can be printed on the barrier film layer, such as patterns or words indicating how to brew, so that the user can more intuitively know the brewing method after opening the container cover.
[0044] In specific implementations, the thickness of the barrier film layer 12 can be in the range of 10um to 1000um, and can be set according to the dissolution time requirement. For example, the thickness of the barrier film layer 12 can be 15um, 20um, or 22um, etc.
[0045] In some embodiments, in order to increase the dissolution speed of the barrier film layer 12, an auxiliary dissolution structure can be arranged on the barrier film layer 12. The auxiliary dissolution structure is used to accelerate the dissolution speed of the barrier film layer 12.
[0046] Specifically, the auxiliary dissolution structure can be a plurality of micropores penetrating the auxiliary barrier film layer 12. The number and distribution of the micropores can be set according to the actual dissolution time requirement. For example, the plurality of micropores can be uniformly distributed on the barrier film layer 12. After the barrier film layer 12 encounters water, the micropores can accelerate the dissolution speed of the barrier film layer 12, thereby reducing the waiting time of the user and improving the user experience.
[0047] In specific implementations, the barrier film layer 12 can be fixed in the container body in various ways.
[0048] In some embodiments, the barrier film layer 12 can be fixed to the inner surface of the container body by adhesion. Specifically, the barrier film layer 12 has an outer edge matching the shape of the accommodation space, and the outer edge of the barrier film layer 12 can be adhered to the inner surface of the container body.
[0049] In some embodiments, the barrier film layer 12 can be fixed to the inner surface of the container body by adhesion. Specifically, the barrier film layer 12 can include a film layer body and a sticking part surrounding the film layer body. The shape of the film layer body matches the shape of the accommodation space, and the film layer body is stuck to the inner surface of the container body by the sticking part.
[0050] In some embodiments, the barrier film layer 12 can also be hung on the container wall 111. Specifically, the barrier film layer 12 can include a film layer body and a first hanging part and a second hanging part located at both ends of the film layer body. The shape of the film layer body matches the shape of the accommodation space, and the film layer body is hung on the container wall 111 by the first hanging part and the second hanging part. The film layer body, the first hanging part and the second hanging part can all be soluble film layers formed of edible materials, so that the barrier film layer 12 can be detachably connected with the container body, facilitating replacement and placement of the barrier film layer 12.
[0051] In some embodiments, the packaging container can have only one barrier film layer 12, which divides the accommodation space into two cavities. The two cavities can have various distribution manners, which are not limited herein as long as each cavity can accommodate corresponding materials.
[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the barrier film layer 12 divides the accommodation space into a first cavity 11a and a second cavity 11b. The first cavity 11a is surrounded by the container wall 111, the barrier film layer 12, and the container cover 112. The second cavity 11b is surrounded by the container wall 111, the container bottom 113, and the barrier film layer 12. The first cavity 11a and the second cavity 11b are distributed in an up-down manner. The first cavity 11a is located above the barrier film layer 12, and the second cavity 11b is located below the barrier film layer 12. The first cavity 11a and the second cavity 11b are used to place different materials, respectively.
[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the barrier film layer 12 can be located at the upper part of the container wall 111. In this case, the first cavity 11a can be used to place tableware, which can be placed on the barrier film layer 12. The second cavity 11b can be used to place food 13 and condiments 14.
[0054] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the barrier film layer 12 can be located at the lower part of the container wall 111. In this case, the first cavity 11a can be used to place tableware and food, which can be placed on the barrier film layer 12. The second cavity 11b can be used to place food and condiments.
[0055] In other embodiments, when the packaging container has only one barrier film layer 12, the two cavities divided by the barrier film layer 12 can also be distributed in a left-right manner.
[0056] In some embodiments, the packaging container can have two or more barrier film layers, which can be distributed in the same direction in the accommodation space. In this way, the accommodation space can be divided into three or more cavities along the distribution direction of the barrier film layers. By dividing into three or more cavities, different flavors of condiments can be placed separately, preventing the condiments from being mixed too early and affecting the taste, and facilitating the production of products with better taste.
[0057] In some embodiments, the two or more barrier film layers in the packaging container are distributed in an up-down manner in the accommodation space, thereby dividing the accommodation space into multiple cavities distributed in an up-down manner. The three or more cavities include a first cavity located above the two or more barrier film layers, a second cavity located below the two or more barrier film layers, and a third cavity located between the barrier film layers.
[0058] For example, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the packaging container can be provided with a first barrier film layer 121 and a second barrier film layer 122, which are distributed above and below the accommodation space, thereby separating the accommodation space into a first cavity 11a, a second cavity 11b below the second barrier film layer 122, and a third cavity 11c between the first barrier film layer 121 and the second barrier film layer 122.
[0059] In a specific implementation, when two or more barrier film layers are provided in the packaging container, the materials and thicknesses of the barrier film layers can be set according to the mixing order of the food and the seasonings, the materials placed in each cavity, and the dissolution speed of each barrier film layer, so that the dissolution speed of each barrier film layer conforms to the set mixing order of the food and the seasonings.
[0060] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the first barrier film layer 121 and the second barrier film layer 122 can be both distributed above the container wall 111, and the first barrier film layer 121 dissolves before the second barrier film layer 122. At this time, the first cavity 11a can be used to place tableware and food 13. The second cavity 11b can be used to place oil 141, and the third cavity 11c can be used to place sauce and powder 142. At this time, the food 13 is first mixed with the oil 141, and then mixed with the sauce and powder 142.
[0061] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the first barrier film layer 121 and the second barrier film layer 122 can be both distributed below the container wall 111, and the second barrier film layer 122 dissolves before the first barrier film layer 121. At this time, the first cavity 11a can be used to place tableware and food 13. The second cavity 11b can be used to place oil 141, and the third cavity 11c can be used to place sauce and powder 142. Accordingly, the food 13 is first mixed with the oil 141, and then mixed with the sauce and powder 142.
[0062] The dissolution speeds of the first barrier film layer 121 and the second barrier film layer 122 are different, and the mixing order of the food and the seasonings is also different, thereby affecting the taste of the food.
[0063] The packaging container in the embodiments of the present application has barrier properties, can separate the accommodation space into a plurality of cavities, and different cavities can be used to place different materials. The user can directly brew when using, without the need to take out the barrier film layer, thereby reducing the waste of seasonings caused by taking out the utensil holder from the container, and improving the user experience.
[0064] The utility model embodiment further provides a convenient food, the convenient food includes the packing container in any one embodiment above, and the food, the condiment and the tableware in the packing container.
[0065] In some embodiments, only one barrier film layer is arranged in the packing container, through which the food and the condiment can be separated in different cavities, and the food and the condiment gradually mix as the barrier film layer dissolves, and can be used after mixing for a certain time.
[0066] In other embodiments, two or more barrier film layers can be arranged in the packing container, through which the food and the condiments of different tastes can be separated in different cavities, and the food and the condiments of different tastes gradually mix as the barrier film layers dissolve, and can be used after mixing for a certain time.
[0067] In specific implementation, the condiment placed in the cavity can be scattered in the cavity or on the food in the cavity.
[0068] In some embodiments, to avoid affecting transportation or taste due to the condiment scattered in the cavity, the condiment placed in the cavity can be a condiment package wrapped with a soluble film. The film of the condiment package can be formed of at least one material of polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin and sodium alginate.
[0069] For example, referring to Figure 5 The powder package 143 wrapped with powder and the sauce package 144 wrapped with sauce can be placed in the second cavity 11b. The films of the powder package 143 and the sauce package 144 are both soluble films.
[0070] In specific implementation, the condiments placed in the same cavity can be independent condiment packages or integrated condiment packages. The independent condiment packages, for example, referring to Figure 5 The powder package 143 and the sauce package 144 are independent individuals. The integrated condiment package means that two or more condiment packages are wrapped with the same outer film.
[0071] In some embodiments, the integrated condiment package can include an outer film and at least one inner film. The inner film itself forms an independent inner cavity, and an outer cavity is formed between the outer film and the inner film. The inner cavity and the outer cavity can wrap different condiments, respectively.
[0072] For example, referring to Figure 6The integrated seasoning package can include an outer film 61, a first inner film 62, and a second inner film 63. The first inner film 62 forms an inner cavity and can be used to wrap a first seasoning. The second inner film 63 forms another inner cavity and can be used to wrap a second seasoning. The cavity between the first inner film 62, the second inner film 63, and the outer film 61 serves as an outer cavity and can be used to wrap a third seasoning.
[0073] In a specific implementation, the thickness and material of the different films can be set according to the dissolution speed requirement, so that the seasonings in the integrated seasoning package are mixed with the food in a set order to achieve the desired taste.
[0074] The convenient food in the embodiments of the present application has a soluble barrier film layer in the packaging container, so the barrier film layer does not need to be removed when eating, which is convenient for eating and can reduce seasoning waste. In addition, the mixing order of the food and the seasonings can be adjusted by changing the material and thickness of the barrier film layer, thereby improving the taste.
[0075] Although the present application is disclosed as above, the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, can make various changes and modifications, therefore the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
