TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to kitchen utensil technical field, concretely relates to a seasoning box. BACKGROUND

[0002] The common seasoning box on the market is mainly composed of a box body and a box cover, seasoning and a spoon for scooping the seasoning are stored in the box body when not in use, and the box cover is covered on the box body to prevent dust or water from falling on the seasoning; when the seasoning needs to be scooped, the user first needs to manually open the box cover, then take out the spoon from the box body and scoop a certain amount of seasoning, and after use, the spoon is put back into the box body and the box cover is manually covered.

[0003] These seasoning boxes usually include five steps of manually opening the box cover, taking the spoon, scooping the seasoning, putting back the spoon and manually covering the box cover when in use, which is relatively troublesome.

[0004] In view of the foregoing technical problems, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN103829830A discloses an induction type seasoning box, which comprises a rectangular outer box, an inner box is placed in the outer box, the outer box is connected with a box cover through a rotating shaft, an induction device is arranged at the edge of the box cover, a micro motor is installed on the inner side of the outer box, the micro motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and a battery box is further arranged on the outer box, which supplies power for the micro motor.

[0005] The inventor finds that although the induction type seasoning box realizes automatic opening of the box cover, the use is still not convenient enough. When using the induction type seasoning box, people need to first put their hand in front of the induction device, wait for the box cover to open, and then lift the hand to a certain height to take the small spoon in the inner box. Whether it is the small spoon in which inner box, a small lifting action is needed. Assuming that the induction time of the induction device is T1, the opening time of the box cover is T2, and the lifting time is T3, people need to spend T1+T2+T3 time before getting the target small spoon. Even compared with the traditional non-induction seasoning box, people need to spend more waiting time, so the use of the induction type seasoning box is still not convenient enough.

[0006] Moreover, water or oil is very easy to stick to the hands when cooking, in this case, the spoon will transfer the water stain or oil stain to the handle of the seasoning spoon, causing the spoon to be contaminated, and after use, the contaminated spoon is directly put back into the inner box, which is very unhygienic. If the spoon with water or oil adhered is placed in the inner box, the seasoning is easy to stick to the spoon, thereby forming a layer of stain on the surface of the spoon, and such a spoon placed in the seasoning box will become a source of pollution.

[0007] In addition, when the seasoning in the inner box is less, the spoon cannot be inserted into the seasoning vertically or obliquely, and the spoon will lie on the surface of the seasoning, in this case, if people take the spoon, the fingers will inevitably touch the seasoning, which is very unhygienic; especially, if people have water stains or oil stains on their hands, the seasoning will also adhere to the fingers, and the use experience is very poor.
