Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a multifunctional food container which is easy to separate and use, effectively avoids secondary pollution of food, has freedom in shape, number and position of the drain hole during manufacturing process, and has high visual aesthetic design. BACKGROUND
[0002] Modern people increasingly demand health, so they often buy vegetables and fruits to cook at home. However, vegetables and fruits still contain a certain amount of pesticide residues. Therefore, in order to clean them thoroughly, a draining basket is often used for cleaning. The sewage after cleaning can be directly discharged from the drain hole below the draining basket. However, the cleaned vegetables and fruits must be placed in another container to dry, so as to avoid water remaining on the surface. As a result, two containers must be used to complete the cleaning and placement of vegetables and fruits.
[0003] In addition, some manufacturers have developed a container with both draining and containing functions, such as patent No. M430229 "object cleaning container with antibacterial effect". It includes a cleaning container and a draining basket. The cleaning container includes a containing space and an opening communicating with the containing space. At least one drain hole is provided near the opening. The draining basket is sleeved in the cleaning container, and a plurality of flow holes are formed on the outer surface of the draining basket. However, although this technology combines the draining basket and the cleaning container, the fluid may not be discharged in time during the draining process when the drain hole is close to the upper edge of the opening, causing some fluid to overflow to the edge of the opening, resulting in vegetables and fruits falling out. Moreover, when the vegetables and fruits are placed in the cleaning container for drying after cleaning, the residual water on the surface of the vegetables and fruits will slowly flow into the bottom of the cleaning container, bringing a small amount of sewage and causing secondary pollution of the vegetables and fruits. In addition, the drain hole of the cleaning container is located near the opening, which limits the layout position, shape and number of the drain hole, and the manufacturing freedom is not good. If used separately, the upper edge of the cleaning container is close to the upper edge of the draining basket, which is difficult to separate and use. A nail or other tool must be inserted into the gap between the two upper edges to separate them, which often causes the nail to break or requires the use of additional tools, affecting the user experience and product sales. In addition, the rigid appearance is not good for the overall visual sense, which indirectly damages the beauty of the indoor space.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the above common problems and shortcomings is the direction that the applicant and relevant manufacturers in this industry want to improve. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0005] The utility model discloses a food container and a draining basket, which can prevent food from being contaminated again and can be used as a food container or a draining basket or both.
[0006] The utility model discloses a food container and a draining basket, which can prevent food from being contaminated again and can be used as a food container or a draining basket or both.
[0007] Most food (such as vegetables and fruits) will use pesticides during planting to protect food from pests, diseases and other interference, so as to improve production quality. However, pesticides are highly toxic to the human body. Although they are washed clean before eating, pesticides still remain on the surface, leading to accidental ingestion. Even if it does not affect human health for a short time, it is a big killer to health if it accumulates over a long period of time. It will cause central nervous system death and lead to problems such as decreased immunity of various organs of the body. Therefore, research shows that if you want to completely remove pesticides, the best way is to do so by washing for a long time. And try to avoid soaking food without running water. If food is soaked without changing water, the high concentration of pesticides on the surface of the food will dissolve into the water, causing secondary pollution of the food. Therefore, the design features of the present case are to place the food in a draining container and then turn on the water source to wash the food. At this time, the first drain hole is arranged on the arrangement area, so the first drain hole can be arranged in more positions, especially positions far from the upper edge of the draining container. This allows the water source to be discharged from the draining container early to form a flowing water concept. That is, after the water source washes the food, it can be quickly discharged through the first drain hole. In contrast, the pesticides on the surface of the food can also be carried away by the water source, so that the pesticides do not remain in the draining container. In this way, the food is less likely to fall out of the upper edge of the draining container, so the user can be more at ease with the long-term continuous water washing of the food. When the water source is discharged from the first drain hole, it will in turn carry away the remaining pesticides, effectively cleaning the pesticides on the surface of the food.
[0008] By the above-mentioned technology, the problems of easy falling out, easy secondary pollution, poor freedom, difficult separation and use, and rigid shape of the vegetable and fruit in the commonly used object washing container with antibacterial effect can be solved, and the above-mentioned advantages of the present application can be achieved.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, which are the perspective view to use schematic diagram of the first preferred embodiment of the present application, it can be clearly seen from the figure that the present application comprises:
[0053] Food container 1, food container 1 has upper edge 11, upper edge 11 has high edge part 111, several respectively by high edge part 111 both ends place to high edge part 111 opposite side extension formation's inclined edge part 112, and in each inclined edge part 112 intersection place formation's low edge part 113, low edge part 113's height is lower than high edge part 111, and
[0054] At least one layered portion 12 is formed at the inner bottom of the food container 1, and the layered portion 12 comprises an upper layer 121 for bearing food, and a lower layer 122 below the upper layer 121 for collecting residual sewage of the food after washing.
[0055] In the embodiment, the food container 1 and the layered portion 12 are integrally formed.
[0056] In the embodiment, the shape of the layered portion 12 is not limited, and the layered portion 12 is in the form of a plurality of circular ribs, but can also be in the form of a staggered grid, which is within the scope of the present application. The upper layer 121 is defined by the area of the peak region of the layered portion 12, and the lower layer 122 is defined by the area of the valley region of the layered portion 12.
[0057] In the embodiment, the food can be vegetables, fruits or other food that needs to be dried, and the food is taken as an example in the embodiment.
[0058] Therefore, when the user wants to use the food container 1 to hold fruits, the fruits can be directly placed into the food container 1 through the opening on the food container 1, and the fruits can be received by the upper layer 121 of the layered portion 12. The fruits can also have residual pesticides or other contaminants. At this time, the residual water 2 on the fruits will naturally flow from the surface of the fruits to the lower layer 122 at the bottom of the food container 1. In this way, the separation design of the fruits on the upper layer 121 and the residual water 2 on the lower layer 122 is formed, so that the fruits will not be contaminated by the residual water 2 that can have pesticides or other contaminants, and the residual pesticides will naturally volatilize and decrease with the ambient temperature and time. The longer the standing time, the more complete the volatilization of the pesticides. Therefore, through the isolation design of the upper layer 121 and the lower layer 122 of the layered portion 12, the fruits will not be contaminated by the residual water that can have pesticides or other contaminants during the standing process, and the problem of secondary pollution will not occur. In addition, the pesticides can be naturally volatilized and removed during the process, so that the fruits can be eaten more safely and healthily.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 4 The food container 1 has at least one stabilizing portion 13 at the bottom of the outer side of the food container 1, and the food container 1 holds food. Obviously, if the stabilizing portion 13 is not designed, the food container 1 can be unstable, especially when the table surface is not flat, and the food container 1 is more likely to be overturned. Therefore, the stabilizing portion 13 can make the food container 1 more stable and not prone to overturning.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 9 to 14 As shown in the seventh preferred embodiment of the utility model, the difference between the embodiment and the above-mentioned preferred embodiments is that the embodiment integrates most of the above-mentioned technical features, in other words, the upper edge of the food container 1 has a high edge portion 111, an inclined edge portion 112 and a low edge portion 113, and the inner bottom portion has at least one layered portion 12, the layered portion 12 includes an upper layer 121 and a lower layer 122, the high edge portion 111 is provided with a high edge handle portion 1111, the inclined edge portion 112 is formed with an inclined edge folding portion 1121, the low edge portion 113 is formed with a low edge folding portion 1131, and the peripheral wall of the food container 1 is formed with a texture portion 14, thereby the embodiment combines the advantages of the above-mentioned embodiments, the food container 1 is closer to the daily use of users in the overall use, and the overall home space is also improved in aesthetics, thereby the marketing, sales and effective promotion of industrial competitiveness are improved.
[0065] The food container 1 has an upper edge 11, the upper edge 11 has a high edge portion 111, a plurality of inclined edge portions 112 respectively extending from both ends of the high edge portion 111 to the opposite side of the high edge portion 111, and a low edge portion 113 formed at the intersection of each inclined edge portion 112, the height of the low edge portion 113 is lower than that of the high edge portion 111, the low edge portion 113 is formed with a low edge folding portion 1131, the inclined edge portion 112 is formed with an inclined edge folding portion 1121, and the high edge portion 111 is provided with a high edge handle portion 1111;
[0066] At least one layered portion 12 formed at the inner bottom portion of the food container 1, the layered portion 12 includes an upper layer 121 for bearing food and a lower layer 122 located below the upper layer 121, the lower layer 122 is used for concentrating residual water 2 after the food is washed;
[0067] A draining container 3 arranged in the upper layer 121 of the layered portion 12, the upper edge 31 of the draining container 3 and the middle portion of the upper edge 11 of the food container 1 are formed with a layout area 32;
[0068] A plurality of first drain holes 33 formed on the layout area 32;
[0069] A plurality of second drain holes 34 formed at the bottom of the draining container 3; and
[0070] A texture portion 14 formed at the peripheral wall of the food container 1.
[0071] In this embodiment, the first drainage hole 33 is an elongated hole and is horizontally positioned. However, the configuration of the first drainage hole 33 is not limited and can be one of a circular hole, a polygon, or a curved shape.
[0072] In this embodiment, the second drain hole 34 is a round hole and is arranged radially from the center of the bottom of the food container 1. This radial arrangement allows the residual water 2 near the center to be drained quickly, and the residual water 2 far from the center can also be drained smoothly from the second drain hole 34 on the radial periphery.
[0073] When users clean food, such as Figure 12 As shown, the drain container 3 can be combined with the food container 1. Food is placed inside the drain container 3, and water source 4 can then be turned on to rinse the food. Because the first drain hole 33 is located in the area 32 between the upper edge 31 of the drain container 3 and the upper edge 11 of the food container 1, water source 4 will first drain out through the first drain hole 33, not from the upper edge 31 of the drain container 3. Furthermore, due to the location of the area 32, the placement of the first drain hole 33 is highly flexible; it can be opened within the area 32 as needed. In this embodiment, the first drain hole 33 is located closer to the top of the area 32. This prevents food from overflowing from the upper edge 31 of the drain container 3 and falling out, thus avoiding damage or contamination. Moreover, users can use the water source 4 to continuously rinse the food, removing pesticides from the food surface through the first drain hole 33, effectively removing pesticides.
[0074] When you want to drain the water after washing, such as Figure 13 As shown, the residual water 2 in the food container 1 can be poured out first, and then the drain container 3 containing the food can be attached to the food container 1. At this time, some residual water 2 will remain on the food. This residual water 2 will flow from the food to the second drain hole 34 at the bottom of the drain container 3, and then flow through the second drain hole 34 to the lower layer 122 of the layered section 12 for collection. Obviously, even if the food is placed in the drain container 3, it will not be contaminated by the dripping residual water 2, achieving the layered separation design, that is, there will be no problem of secondary contamination.
[0075] When the user wants to separate the food container 1 from the drain container 3, such as Figure 14As shown, the food container 1 can be separated from the draining container 3 by holding the upper edge 11 of the food container 1 with one hand and the arrangement area 32 of the draining container 3 with the other hand, and then applying force. The overall operation is simple, convenient, labor-saving and time-saving. Even without using nails or other tools to penetrate the gap between the upper edges of the two containers, the food container 1 can be separated from the draining container 3. That is, the food container 1 can be separated from the draining container 3 without using nails or tools.
[0076] In addition, due to the large area design of the arrangement area 32, the first drain hole 33 has more degrees of freedom in position arrangement during manufacturing, including number, arrangement height, appearance shape, etc. The present embodiment is horizontally arranged as an example.
[0077] Therefore, when the user only needs to use the food container 1 to hold food as a fruit plate, the food container 1 can be used to hold food (such as fruits), and also has the advantage of preventing secondary pollution. If the user needs to clean the food, the draining container 3 can be added, and the food can be placed in the draining container 3 for cleaning. The sewage generated after cleaning can be discharged downward from the second drain hole 34 to be used as a draining basket. After cleaning, the food can be continuously placed in the draining container 3 and combined with the food container 1 for draining action, so that the remaining water 2 can drip onto the lower layer 122 for collection. Obviously, the present application can be used in different ways according to the needs of the user to achieve the advantage of multi-function.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 15 As shown, the draining container 3 of the eighth preferred embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. The difference between the present embodiment and the seventh preferred embodiment is that the upper edge 31 of the draining container 3 has an upper edge handle 311, and the upper edge handle 311 is a flat surface formed by one side extension. When the user takes the draining container 3, the hand does not need to reach the inner side wall of the draining container 3, which is not only easier to hold, but also safer and more hygienic.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 16 As shown, the draining container 3 of the ninth preferred embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. The difference between the present embodiment and the seventh preferred embodiment is that the upper edge 31 of the draining container 3 forms an upper edge fold 312, which is formed by folding the original upper edge 31 of the draining container 3 outward in one piece. The design of the upper edge fold 312 makes it less likely to accidentally cut the user at the edge of the draining container 3, and also improves the grip.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 17As shown in the drawings, the drainage container of the twelfth preferred embodiment of the utility model is a schematic diagram of the drainage container, and the difference between the twelfth preferred embodiment and the seventh preferred embodiment is that the first drainage hole 33 of the twelfth preferred embodiment is in the shape of a long hole and is arranged obliquely.
