Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disposable lunch box technology, specifically a disposable lunch box lid with an exhaust and leak-proof structure. Background Technology
[0002] Disposable food containers are designed to meet the needs of convenient catering. They are mainly used in scenarios such as takeout, fast food, and food packaging. They are made of various materials, with plastic food containers being the most common. They are lightweight, leak-proof, and inexpensive, but they are difficult to degrade and can easily cause environmental pollution.
[0003] Regarding the above technical conditions, there is a contradiction between the existing disposable lunch box lids in terms of preventing leakage and venting: traditional sealing structures are prone to leakage when inverted, while fully enclosed designs are prone to deformation of the lunch box due to internal steam pressure in high-temperature environments. Some products use a one-way venting valve structure, but it has problems such as complex structure, high cost, and poor liquid seepage prevention effect. When liquid comes into contact with the valve body, it is easy to leak.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a disposable lunch box lid with an exhaust and leak-proof structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a disposable lunch box lid with an exhaust and leak-proof structure to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to effectively prevent the internal liquid from leaking out when the lunch box is inverted, thereby improving the usability of disposable lunch boxes.
[0008] Preferably, a locking ring is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the exhaust pipe.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation and connection of the card block and the card holder can be convenient.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the lateral channel is provided with a threaded guide groove, which can increase the effect of liquid reflux. The helix angle of the threaded guide groove is α = 15-30° and the groove depth is δ = 0.1-0.2 mm.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the reflux rate of the liquid is improved.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the exhaust pipe is also provided with a hydrophobic filter membrane with a pore size of 5-10 μm.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, the leak-proof effect of liquids can be further improved.
[0014] Preferably, the radius R of the lateral channel is ≤1.5mm, and the width of the micro-gap channel is 0.1-0.3mm.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, a better leak-proof effect can be achieved.
[0016] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] 1. By combining micro-gap channels with lateral channels, and with the synergistic effect of a 0.3mm gap and a 1.5mm channel radius, liquid leakage can be reduced to ≤0.1mL / min.
[0018] 2. The threaded guide grooves can significantly improve the liquid backflow speed. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0028] A disposable lunch box lid with an exhaust and leak-proof structure includes a lid body 1, which can be square or round in shape, depending on the actual use. A snap-on edge 2 is provided on the edge of the lid body 1, which can securely fasten the lid body 1 to the disposable lunch box. A card seat 3 is provided on the lid body 1, and a card block 4 is provided inside the card seat 3. A positioning hole 5 is also provided on the card seat 3. The card block 4 is detachably snapped into the inside of the card seat 3. An exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the card block 4. A lateral channel 8 communicating with the exhaust pipe 6 is provided inside the card block 4. After installation, there is a micro-gap channel between the card block 4 and the card seat 3.
[0029] Furthermore, a locking ring 7 is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the exhaust pipe 6. During installation, the locking ring 7 passes through the positioning hole 5 and then snaps into the top of the positioning hole 5, thereby enabling the locking block 4 to be snapped into the locking seat 3.
[0030] Furthermore, a threaded guide groove 9 is provided on the inner wall of the lateral channel 8, which can increase the effect of liquid reflux. The helix angle α of the threaded guide groove 9 is 15-30° and the groove depth δ is 0.1-0.2mm.
[0031] Furthermore, a hydrophobic filter membrane 10, such as a PTFE membrane, with a pore size of 5-10 μm is also provided at the top of the exhaust pipe 6.
[0032] Furthermore, the radius R of the lateral channel 8 is ≤ 1.5 mm.
[0033] Furthermore, the width of the micro-gap channel is 0.1-0.3 mm.
[0034] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the lunch box is inverted, the liquid enters the side channel 8 through the micro-gap channel. Under the condition that the channel radius R≤1.5mm, the liquid forms a meniscus due to surface tension. When the liquid column height h satisfies h>2σ / (ρgR) (σ is the liquid surface tension coefficient, ρ is the liquid density), the gas-liquid interface forms a sealing barrier. At this time, the bottom gas pressure P0 and the liquid column static pressure ρgh reach equilibrium. When the condition P0≥ρgh is satisfied, the liquid self-locking is achieved.
[0035] When in the upright position, steam is discharged through the top exhaust pipe 6. The ratio of the cross-sectional area S of the exhaust pipe 6 to the area of the cover satisfies S / S0≥0.3% (S0 is the projected area of the cover), ensuring that the internal pressure increment ΔP≤200Pa under 100℃ conditions, thus avoiding deformation of the lunch box.
