Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lunch box technology, specifically relating to a vacuum insulated lunch box. Background Technology
[0002] A lunchbox is a box specifically designed to hold food, also known as a bento box. Most are made of aluminum, stainless steel, or plastic. Most lunchboxes on the market are single-layered. However, hot food loses heat quickly when placed in the box, and single-layered boxes don't retain heat well. This can result in the box being too hot to handle before the food cools down. Currently, most insulated lunchboxes are made with a double-layered structure, filling the interlayer with foam plastic as insulation. Insulated lunchboxes reduce heat transfer, thus improving food insulation. Vacuum-insulated lunchboxes offer even stronger insulation, maintaining food temperature for longer than ordinary insulated lunchboxes. However, vacuum-insulated lunchboxes are generally made of welded stainless steel. Due to the vacuum layer, they are prone to bulging and deformation when containing hot food or undergoing high-temperature sterilization. Therefore, we propose a vacuum-insulated lunchbox with a more robust structure that reduces deformation caused by high temperatures. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-7This utility model provides the following technical solution: a vacuum insulated lunch box, including a box body 1 and a lid 2. The box body 1 is composed of an outer box 101 and an inner liner 102. The surface of the inner liner 102 is provided with a groove 103 for holding food. The inner liner 102 is disposed inside the outer box 101 and is welded to the outer box 101 to form an integral structure. A double-layer structure is formed between the outer box 101 and the inner liner 102, and the internal cavity is formed by a vacuum pump to form a first vacuum layer 3. The bottom of the outer box 101 is stamped to form an upwardly protruding first reinforcing rib 4. The first reinforcing rib 4 can improve the structural strength of the outer box 101, and the groove 103 of the inner liner 102 can improve the structural strength. Therefore, after the outer box 101 and the inner liner 102 are welded to form an integral structure and a vacuum is drawn in the cavity of the double-layer structure, the structural strength of the box body 1 can be effectively improved by the above method. To reduce the risk of deformation of the box body 1 due to high temperature, the first box cover 2 is composed of an upper cover 201 and a lower cover 202. The surface of the lower cover 202 is stamped to form a stamping groove 203. The lower cover 202 is fastened to the bottom of the upper cover 201 and welded to the upper cover 201 to form an integral structure. A double-layer structure is formed between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, and the internal cavity is formed into a second vacuum layer 5 by a vacuuming device. The bottom of the upper cover 201 and the bottom of the lower cover 202 are both stamped to form an upwardly protruding second reinforcing rib 6. The second reinforcing rib 6 can improve the structural strength of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202. Therefore, after vacuuming between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, the second reinforcing rib 6 can reduce the risk of deformation of the box cover 2 due to high temperature. The four sides of the outer box 101 are equipped with fastening components 7 to fix the box cover 2.
[0023] In this embodiment, the fastening assembly 7 includes a sleeve 701 fixedly installed on the side of the outer box 101. A U-shaped connector 702 is rotatably installed inside the sleeve 701. Each of the two vertical sections of the connector 702 is provided with a fastening part 703. A connecting rod 704 is integrally connected between the ends of the two fastening parts 703. When the connector 702 is rotated to the vertical position, the fastening part 703 fastens and fixes the box cover 2 to the top of the box body 1.
[0024] Specifically, after the lid 2 is fastened to the top of the box body 1, the connector 702 is rotated so that the fastening part 703 fixes the lid 2. The connecting rod 704 can increase the fastening range of the fastening part 703, thereby fixing the lid 2 more effectively.
[0025] In this embodiment, the top edge of the cover 201 is provided with a fastening rib 8, and the fastening part 703 is bent. When the connector 702 is rotated to the vertical state, the fastening part 703 is located at one end of the connecting rod 704 and is obliquely downward. The fastening part 703 is fastened to the fastening rib 8.
[0026] Specifically, since the fastening part 703 is located at one end of the connecting rod 704 and is obliquely downward when the connector 702 is rotated to the vertical position, when the lid 2 is fastened to the top of the box body 1, the fastening part 703 can be fastened to the surface of the fastening rib 8 by rotating the connector 702. The obliquely downward structure of the fastening part 703 enables the fastening part 703 to effectively fix the lid 2, and the fastening rib 8 can also effectively improve the structural strength of the upper cover 201.
[0027] In this embodiment, a snap-fit groove 9 is formed between the bottom edge of the lower cover 202 and the outer wall of the stamping groove 203. The box cover 2 is snapped onto the top of the box body 1 through the snap-fit groove 9, and the bottom of the outer wall of the stamping groove 203 abuts against the inner wall of the inner liner 102.
[0028] Specifically, the snap-fit groove 9 makes it easier for the lid 2 to be snapped onto the top of the box body 1. When the lid 2 is snapped onto, the outer wall of the stamping groove 203 at the bottom of the lid 2 will be in close contact with the inner wall of the inner liner 102, thereby improving the stability of the lid 2 being snapped onto the top of the box body 1. The snap-fit part 703 can effectively fix the lid 2 to the top of the box body 1.
[0029] Please see Figure 8 In this embodiment, the number of grooves 103 is not less than two, and the shape of the grooves 103 includes, but is not limited to, circles, squares, polygons and irregular shapes.
[0030] Specifically, the above methods allow users to choose and purchase lunch boxes that suit their own needs.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
