Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea set storage devices, and in particular to a modular tea set storage box. Background Technology

[0002] A tea set is a set of utensils used in the process of brewing tea, which usually includes a teapot, teacups, saucers, tea tray, tea spoon, and tea towel. Due to the large number of items and the difficulty in storing them, tea sets are not convenient to carry around. However, as people's quality of life gradually improves, portable tea set storage boxes have gradually come into view. By carrying only a few essential tea utensils and storing them in a storage box, tea drinkers can quickly enjoy tea anytime, anywhere. However, in practical applications, how to design a tea set storage box and ensure that the tea utensils can be stably fixed inside it has become a problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a modular teaware storage box. It is equipped with a component with elastic hooks. By applying force to the teacup, it can be locked into the elastic hook, so that the small teacup can be neatly stacked and fixed in a stable position inside the bowl, without displacement or collision. The top cover is rotatably connected to the storage bowl. The stepped bowl opening design makes the top cover more stable. The elastic fixing claw component is detachably connected to the receiving bowl. An elastic limiting plate is inclinedly set on the inner wall of the receiving bowl. When the elastic fixing claw component is applied downward, the limiting protrusion on the side is locked in the limiting groove, thereby fixing the position. When the user applies upward force, the elastic fixing claw component can be quickly released.

[0005] This utility model provides a modular tea set storage box, including a container bowl with an open receiving cavity, an elastic fixing claw assembly that is locked in the receiving cavity, and a top cover that is rotatably connected to the top of the container bowl; the top of the container bowl is provided with a rim, and several notches are provided at intervals on the rim; several buckles are provided at intervals on the bottom side of the top cover, and the buckles extend downward and correspond to the number of notches; a limiting protrusion and a guide groove are provided on the rim area between two notches; the guide groove is provided at one end of the rim area and is lower than the rim; the limiting protrusion is provided at the other end of the rim area and is higher than the rim; the buckle passes through the notch and rotates to connect with the rim until the buckle abuts against the limiting protrusion.

[0006] The container bowl with an open cavity is used to store larger teacups. Then, the elastic retaining claw assembly is inserted into the cavity, and the smaller teacups are pressed into the elastic retaining claw assembly in sequence to secure them. After covering the smaller teacups with a tea towel, the top cover is rotated to connect with the container bowl, thus storing the tea set. The notch on the rim of the bowl is used to engage with the buckle on the top cover to achieve a rotating connection. The stepped design on the rim of the bowl allows the buckle to gradually tighten during rotation. Finally, the buckle abuts against the limiting protrusion, completing the rotation process and securing the top cover tightly.

[0007] In some embodiments, the buckle has an inwardly curved cross-section, and a viewing window is provided on the top cover at a position corresponding to the buckle. The curved buckle fits the curve of the bowl rim, allowing for smooth rotation, and the corresponding viewing window facilitates checking whether the buckle has rotated to the correct position during rotation.

[0008] In some embodiments, the top cover has several vent holes arranged in ascending order of size, and the top cover also has an anti-slip pattern. During the storage of the teacup, some moisture may remain inside the cup, so the vent holes on the top facilitate the release of moisture, and the anti-slip pattern increases friction to make it easier for the user to open.

[0009] In some embodiments, the elastic retaining claw assembly includes an outer frame and a threaded elastic claw. The outer frame includes an outer ring and an inner ring, with the inner ring extending upward from the outer ring. A threaded fixing hole is formed on the inner side of the inner ring, and a fixing thread is provided on the top of the threaded elastic claw. The threaded elastic claw is screwed into the threaded fixing hole through the fixing thread. The outer ring is used to cooperate with the elastic limiting plate to fix the position of the entire elastic retaining claw assembly in the receiving cavity, while the inner ring is used to fix the threaded elastic claw. The threaded elastic claw is an independent detachable structure. If the threaded elastic claw is damaged during use, it can be unscrewed and replaced with a new threaded elastic claw.

[0010] In some embodiments, the threaded elastic claw extends downwards with several elastic hooks, which are arranged around the teacup and gradually contract inwards. The annular elastic hooks are used to fix the position of the small teacup. By applying force to the small teacup, it can be locked into the elastic hooks, keeping it neatly stacked and stable inside the bowl, preventing displacement and collision, thus protecting the small teacup. After the small teacup is removed, the elastic hooks reset, allowing for repeated use.

[0011] In some embodiments, the threaded fixing hole has an outwardly opening gripping groove. Since the elastic fixing claw assembly is snapped together with the elastic limiting plate, outward force is required to pull out the elastic fixing claw assembly. Therefore, a gripping groove is provided on the inner ring to provide a fulcrum for the fingers and facilitate the user's pull-out.

[0012] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the receiving bowl is provided with a plurality of elastic limiting plates spaced around it. These elastic limiting plates extend downwards and are inclined inwards towards the bowl. The top of each elastic limiting plate connects to the inner wall of the receiving bowl, and the bottom of each elastic limiting plate has an arc-shaped hook. The bottom of the outer frame is engaged within this arc-shaped hook. The elastic limiting plates are used to fix the position of the elastic fixing claw assembly. When the elastic fixing claw assembly is pressed, the elastic limiting plates deform, and the arc-shaped hook at the bottom engages with the outer ring, preventing the teacup from shaking during transport and causing damage.

[0013] In some embodiments, the elastic limiting plate is provided with a limiting protrusion on the side corresponding to the inside of the bowl, and a limiting groove is provided on the side of the outer ring, with the limiting protrusion engaging in the limiting groove. During the pressing of the elastic fixing claw assembly, the limiting protrusion engaging in the limiting groove plays an auxiliary limiting role for the elastic fixing claw assembly. When the user applies upward force, the elastic fixing claw assembly can be quickly disengaged.

[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom of the container bowl is provided with several fixing platforms spaced around it, each platform extending inward into the bowl. One end of each fixing platform is connected to the container bowl, and the other end of the fixing platform is arc-shaped. The annular fixing platform at the bottom is used to fix the position of the large teacup, and the arc-shaped end fits against the bottom of the large teacup to prevent it from moving.

[0015] In some embodiments, the container bowl has a lanyard hole on its side. The lanyard hole is a pre-installed location for hanging a lanyard, making it convenient for users to carry the tea set when traveling.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This utility model features a component with elastic hooks. By applying force to a teacup, it can be engaged in the elastic hooks, allowing the small teacup to be neatly stacked and fixed in a stable position inside the bowl, preventing displacement and collision. The top cover is rotatably connected to the storage bowl, and the stepped bowl opening design makes the top cover more stable. The elastic fixing claw component is detachably connected to the storage bowl, and an elastic limiting plate is inclinedly set on the inner wall of the storage bowl. When force is applied downward to the elastic fixing claw component, the limiting protrusion on the side engages in the limiting groove, thereby fixing the position. When the user applies upward force, the elastic fixing claw component can be quickly disengaged.
