Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper lunch box technology, specifically a microwaveable paper lunch box. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing global environmental awareness, people have higher and higher requirements for food packaging materials. Traditional plastic lunch boxes, while lightweight and durable, are difficult to degrade, causing long-term environmental pollution. Therefore, microwaveable paper lunch boxes, as an environmentally friendly alternative, are gradually gaining market favor. Paper lunch boxes are usually made of food-grade cardboard and can be recycled, greatly reducing environmental pollution.

[0003] The patent currently published under the number CN215958691U discloses a snap-fit ​​paper lunch box comprising a box body and a lid. The box body has a bottom wall, a peripheral wall, and a reinforcing piece. The peripheral wall connects to the periphery of the bottom wall, creating a space for holding food between the peripheral wall and the bottom wall. The reinforcing piece is partially fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall, forming a slot between the reinforcing piece and the peripheral wall. The lid has a lid body and a wing connecting the lid body. When the lid is closed, the lid body covers the space, and the wing of the lid abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall and is partially inserted into the slot, making the lid snap-fit ​​tighter.

[0004] However, the above technology still has the following problems: In daily life, customers order both cold and hot dishes. For food safety and quality considerations, cold and hot dishes in takeout are not placed in the same paper container at the same time. If they are packed in two separate containers, it is easy to cause confusion in the dishes and result in a mismatch between the dishes ordered by the customer. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a microwaveable paper food box that can heat takeout dishes and distinguish between hot and cold dishes.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a microwaveable paper lunch box, including a box body one, the interior of the box body one is divided into three storage compartments by a T-shaped partition, a box body two is fixedly connected to the left side of the box body one by a connecting plate, a box lid one is fixedly connected to the box body one, a box lid two is fixedly connected to the box body two, an insert plate is fixedly connected to the front end of both the box body one and the box body two, and a card plate is fixedly connected to both the box lid one and the box lid two, with through holes opened on the card plate.

[0007] Furthermore, both box body one and box body two are made of coated paper lunch boxes.

[0008] Furthermore, the first and second lids are provided with vent holes, and a sealing mechanism is detachably connected to the vent holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism includes a rotating cardboard, on which a food-grade, high-temperature resistant, frustum-shaped plastic block that matches the vent hole is fixedly connected.

[0010] Furthermore, a groove is formed in the middle of the connecting plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This microwaveable paper lunchbox perfectly meets diverse customer needs. When a customer's order includes cold dishes, these dishes can be properly stored in box two. If hot dishes stored in box one need to be reheated, the customer can easily separate box one from box two, effectively avoiding unnecessary reheating of the cold dishes and preserving their original taste and flavor. Even more thoughtfully, when box one and box two are connected, they form a complete lunchbox, making it convenient to carry and preventing confusion. This effectively prevents restaurants from storing cold dishes separately during busy periods, thus avoiding mixing them with other customers' dishes. This design undoubtedly enhances dining convenience and customer satisfaction. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 3A microwaveable paper lunch box includes a box body 1. The interior of the box body 1 is divided into three storage compartments by a T-shaped partition 2. A box body 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the box body 1 via a connecting plate 3. A box lid 5 is fixedly connected to the box body 1. A box lid 6 is fixedly connected to the box body 4. Insert plates 7 are fixedly connected to the front ends of both the box body 1 and the box body 4. A locking plate 8 is fixedly connected to both the box lid 5 and the box lid 6. A through hole 9 is provided on the locking plate 8.

[0019] The microwaveable paper lunch box of this utility model is similar in structure to existing snap-fit ​​paper lunch boxes, such as the snap-fit ​​paper lunch box disclosed in patent publication number CN215958691U. The main improvement of this utility model is that by dividing the paper lunch box into two parts, it can simultaneously store cold and hot dishes, making it convenient to carry and less prone to confusion. This effectively prevents businesses from storing cold dishes separately during busy periods, thus avoiding confusion with other customers' dishes. It also prevents cold and hot dishes from affecting each other, and when hot dishes need to be heated, the cold dish box can be detached, allowing only the hot dishes to be heated. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the microwaveable paper lunch box of this utility model allows rice and hot dishes to be placed inside box body 1 during use. Box body 2 can hold both hot and cold dishes. When both box body 1 and box body 2 are filled with hot dishes, the frustum-shaped plastic block 12 can be lifted upwards to disengage it from the vent 10, thus opening the vent 10. Then, box body 1 and box body 2 are placed in the microwave oven for heating. After heating, the heat and steam generated by box body 1 and box body 2 can flow through the vent 10, thereby preventing excessive pressure inside the lunch box. When box body 2 contains cold dishes, box body 2 can be separated from box body 1 along the groove line 13, so that only the rice and hot dishes in box body 1 are heated. Since box 1 and box 2 are initially connected, placing cold dishes inside box 2 effectively prevents them from being stored separately during busy periods, thus avoiding confusion with other customers' dishes. This design undoubtedly improves dining convenience and satisfaction.

[0020] like Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, the first box 1 and the second box 4 are coated paper lunch boxes.

[0021] Specifically, coated paper lunch boxes are made by coating a thin layer of plastic film onto cardboard to improve their water resistance and durability. These lunch boxes can withstand certain high temperatures and are suitable for microwave heating.

[0022] like Figure 1 or Figure 2As shown, the first box cover 5 and the second box cover 6 are provided with vent holes 10, and a sealing mechanism is detachably connected to the vent holes 10.

[0023] Specifically, when heating food in a microwave oven, heat is rapidly generated from the inside of the sealed food container. If the container is sealed without a vent 10, the pressure will increase as the internal temperature rises, potentially causing the container to deform or even explode. The vent 10 design allows heat and steam to escape during the heating process, thus preventing excessive pressure inside the container.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the sealing mechanism includes a rotating cardboard 11, on which a food-grade, high-temperature resistant, frustum-shaped plastic block 12 that matches the vent hole 10 is fixedly connected.

[0025] Specifically, during transportation, the frustum-shaped plastic block 12 is inserted into the vent 10 to reduce heat loss from the first box 1 and the second box 4. When the food needs to be heated, the frustum-shaped plastic block 12 is pulled upward to disengage from the vent 10, allowing the heat and steam inside the first box 1 and the second box 4 to escape, instead of opening the lid 5 and the lid 6 for heating. The vent 10 reduces the contact between the air inside the microwave oven and the inside of the first box 1 and the second box 4, thus reducing contamination of the food.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, a groove 13 is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 3.

[0027] Specifically, when cold dishes are stored in box 2 4, box 2 4 can be separated from box 1 1 along the direction of groove line 13, so that only the rice and hot dishes in box 1 1 can be heated.

[0028] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
