Furthermore, boxed instant noodles prioritize portability and environmental friendliness in their packaging design, adapting to the needs of today's fast-paced lifestyle.

[0003] Currently, when filtering the water in instant noodles, the water needs to be poured out elsewhere, which is complicated, especially in places like trains. It is also very easy to burn your hands. Although some containers have a filter at the bottom, the seasoning will flow out through the filter when mixing the noodles, resulting in a poor user experience. At the same time, there is also the problem that consumers cannot drink the soup when eating instant noodles.

[0004] In conclusion, how to provide a noodle mixing box that is easy for consumers to use is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a noodle mixing box that makes it easy for consumers to filter out water and allows them to drink soup while eating noodles.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A noodle mixing box, comprising:

[0008] An outer box and an inner box, wherein the inner box is placed inside the outer box, and the inner box is provided with a water filter outlet, and a filter screen is provided at the water filter outlet;

[0009] A material blocking assembly includes an outer baffle plate, which is installed on the outer edge of the inner box and located outside the inner box. When the outer baffle plate overlaps with the water filter outlet, it blocks the water filter outlet.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer baffle is provided with a slot, and the outer baffle is connected to the outer extension of the inner box through the slot.

[0011] Furthermore, in this invention, the slot slides on the outer edge of the inner box, so that the outer baffle slides along the outer edge of the inner box.

[0012] Furthermore, the material-stopping assembly further includes:

[0013] The inner baffle and the outer baffle form a U-shaped structure and are located on both sides of the inner box sidewall respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, in this invention, the inner baffle is connected to the outer baffle, and the inner baffle and the outer baffle slide synchronously.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer baffle is provided with a slide rail, and the inner baffle is slidably mounted on the slide rail so that the outer baffle and the inner baffle slide relative to each other.

[0016] Furthermore, in this invention, both the inner baffle and the outer baffle are made of PP material.

[0017] Furthermore, in this invention, the distance between the inner baffle and the outer baffle is less than the thickness of the inner box sidewall.

[0018] Furthermore, in this invention, the included angle between the inner baffle and the outer baffle is an acute angle.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner box sidewall is provided with two limiting protrusions, which are located on both sides of the water filter port.

[0028] 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.

[0029] The core of this utility model is to provide a noodle mixing box that makes it easy for consumers to filter out water and allows them to drink soup while eating noodles.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A noodle mixing box includes an outer box 1, an inner box 2, and a material blocking component 3. The inner box 2 is placed inside the outer box 1. The inner box 2 is provided with a water filter port and a filter screen 4 is provided at the water filter port. The material blocking component 3 includes an outer baffle 301. The outer baffle 301 is installed on the outer extension of the inner box 2 and is located outside the inner box 2. When the outer baffle 301 overlaps with the water filter port, it can block the water filter port.

[0031] It should be noted that the inner box 2 and the outer box 1 in this embodiment of the present invention can be of any shape. Specifically, the inner box 2 can be circular and the outer box 1 can be square.

[0032] In addition, in some embodiments, for the convenience of consumers, the outer box 1 is provided with an outward protruding drinking spout, so that consumers can drink soup.

[0033] Optionally, in some embodiments, the inner box 2 and the outer box 1 may be made of PP material and formed using an injection molding process.

[0034] Optionally, in some embodiments, the filter 4 can be fixed to the inner box 2 in a snap-fit ​​manner, and during installation, the filter 4 is snapped into the inner box 2.

[0035] In other embodiments, the filter screen 4 can be fixed by integral molding with the inner box 2 to increase the fixing effect of the filter screen 4 and reduce production costs.

[0036] In use, the inner box 2 is placed inside the outer box 1. The inner box 2 has a water filter outlet with a filter screen 4. The baffle assembly 3 includes an outer baffle 301, which is installed on the outer edge of the inner box 2 and located outside the inner box 2. When the outer baffle 301 overlaps with the water filter outlet, it blocks the water filter outlet. Therefore, when you need to make instant noodles, move the outer baffle 301 until it overlaps with the water filter outlet to close it. Then add water to make instant noodles, which will soften the noodles. When you need to drain the water... When draining water, open the outer baffle 301 to expose the filter outlet, allowing water to drain out. This reduces the amount of manual operation required by the consumer, thus lowering the risk of burns. After the water drains, the outer baffle 301 returns to its original position, sealing the filter outlet. At this point, seasonings can be added for mixing noodles, preventing them from overflowing and ensuring flavor. Meanwhile, the drained water enters the outer box 1, allowing the consumer to add the soup and vegetable packet for soup, greatly improving convenience and customer satisfaction.

[0037] Optionally, in some embodiments, to avoid splashing during water filtration, the top of the outer box 1 is provided with a raised edge or a guide channel to direct the flowing hot water to the bottom of the outer box 1, preventing hot water from splashing directly onto the user's hands. In addition, the opening of the outer box 1 can be designed as an inclined or funnel shape to further reduce the possibility of splashing.

[0038] In other embodiments, the baffle on the inner box 2 can be automatically closed. When the inner box 2 is lifted, the water outlet automatically closes to prevent hot water from continuing to flow into the outer box 1; when the inner box 2 is put back into the outer box 1, the water outlet automatically opens. This design avoids the inconvenience of manually operating the baffle during the water filtration process and reduces the risk of hot water splashing or overflowing.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the automatic closing method can be achieved by the weight and buoyancy of the baffle itself.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, the anti-slip design on the bottom of the outer box 1 prevents the mixing box from sliding or tipping over during the water filtration process by adding an anti-slip pad or textured surface to the bottom of the outer box 1. The anti-slip pad is typically made of high-temperature resistant silicone or rubber material, which not only securely holds the mixing box but also prevents the user from accidentally coming into contact with hot water due to the box sliding. In addition, the bottom of the outer box 1 can be designed with a widened or weighted structure to further improve stability. It is particularly suitable for use on smooth countertops to ensure a safe and reliable water filtration process, especially for use on train tables.

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, a transparent window or water level scale is provided on the side of the outer box 1, allowing the user to observe the water level inside the outer box 1 at any time. When the water level approaches the upper limit, the user can stop filtering water in time to prevent hot water from overflowing. The transparent window is usually made of high-temperature resistant plastic or glass material to ensure safety and durability. This design not only improves the convenience of use but also effectively prevents the risk of scalding due to excessive water level.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the outer baffle 301 is provided with a slot, and the outer baffle 301 is connected to the outer extension of the inner box 2 through the slot. That is, the outer baffle 301 and the inner box 2 are connected through the slot.

[0043] Optionally, in some embodiments, the outer baffle 301 of this utility model can be connected to the inner box 2 through a slot, that is, the outer baffle 301 is fixed by being inserted into the outer extension of the inner box 2 through the slot. Specifically, the outer baffle 301 can be detached from the inner box 2 through the slot. When water filtration is required, the outer baffle 301 can be removed.

[0044] In other embodiments, the slot slides on the outer edge of the inner box 2 so that the outer baffle 301 slides along the outer edge of the inner box 2. That is, the slot enables the outer baffle 301 to have a sliding function so that the outer baffle 301 can slide its position as needed.

[0045] In other embodiments, the outer baffle 301 can adopt other structural designs to achieve the opening and closing of the filter inlet, such as a rotary baffle, which controls the opening and closing of the filter inlet through rotation. The outer baffle 301 is designed to be circular or fan-shaped and installed above or below the filter inlet. The outer baffle 301 is rotatably fixed to the inner box 2 by a central shaft. Consumers can simply rotate the outer baffle 301 to change the overlap area between the outer baffle 301 and the filter inlet, thereby adjusting the water flow or completely closing the filter inlet. This makes it convenient for consumers to use. The rotary baffle has a smooth operating feel and is suitable for quick adjustment. At the same time, the rotary baffle has the advantages of compact structure, small space occupation, and stepless adjustment, allowing users to precisely control the water filtration speed as needed.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the surface of the outer baffle 301 may be designed with anti-slip textures or grooves to facilitate the application of force by the user.

[0047] In the above embodiments, a locking function can be provided on the outer baffle 301, such as a snap-lock structure, and position locking can be achieved by designing protrusions and grooves on the outer baffle 301 and the inner box 2.

[0048] In other embodiments, the outer baffle 301 can be a flip-top type, where the filter outlet is opened and closed by flipping. Specifically, the outer baffle 301 is hinged to the outer extension of the inner box 2 via a slot. The outer extension of the inner box 2 has a protrusion for the rotation of the outer baffle 301. Consumers can open or close the filter outlet simply by lifting or pressing the baffle with their fingers. The flip-top type outer baffle 301 is simple and intuitive to operate, suitable for quick operation, and easy for users to apply force. The advantage of the flip-top type baffle is its simple structure, ease of cleaning and maintenance.

[0049] In the above embodiment, in order to further facilitate consumer operation, an extension piece is provided on the outer baffle 301. The extension piece is arranged in the opposite direction to the outer baffle 301. Therefore, the consumer can control the outer baffle 301 by pressing the extension piece.

[0050] In other embodiments, the outer baffle 301 can be a press-type baffle, which opens and closes the filter outlet by pressing. Specifically, the outer baffle 301 is made of an elastic material, and its lower end is fixed below the filter outlet. The inner box 2 has a sliding hole through which the other end of the outer baffle 301 passes. Therefore, when the filter outlet needs to be opened, pressing the top of the outer baffle 301 deforms it and separates it from the inner box 2, thus separating the outer baffle 301 from the filter outlet. The press-type baffle is simple and quick to operate, suitable for one-handed operation, making it more convenient for consumers and increasing ease of use. Furthermore, the opening and closing range of the press-type baffle can be adjusted according to needs.

[0051] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the baffle assembly 3 further includes an inner baffle 303, which forms a U-shaped structure with the outer baffle 301 and is located on both sides of the side wall of the inner box 2. In other words, the combination of the inner baffle 303 and the outer baffle 301 achieves double sealing of the filter outlet, further improving the sealing performance of the filter outlet and preventing the seasoning from overflowing and causing a deterioration in taste.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments, the inner baffle 303 and the outer baffle 301 are manufactured using an integral molding method.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, the inner baffle 303 is connected to the outer baffle 301, and the inner baffle 303 and the outer baffle 301 slide synchronously, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the filter port.

[0054] Optionally, in some embodiments, the inner baffle 303 and the outer baffle 301 can slide up and down synchronously or act as sliding objects to open the filter port.

[0055] In the above embodiment, when the inner baffle 303 and the outer baffle 301 can slide up and down synchronously, the inner box 2 is provided with a sliding groove arranged along its sliding direction. Through the cooperation of the inner baffle 303 and the outer baffle 301 with the sliding groove, the inner baffle 303 and the outer baffle 301 can slide up and down.

[0056] Optionally, in some embodiments, in order to improve the stability of the baffle during the sliding process, a slide rail 302 is provided on the inner box 2, and the inner baffle 303 is slidably installed on the slide rail 302. The slide rail 302 increases the stability of the baffle during the sliding process and can also improve the sealing performance when the filter port is blocked.

[0057] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the outer baffle 301 is provided with a slide rail 302, and the inner baffle 303 is slidably installed on the slide rail 302, so that the outer baffle 301 and the inner baffle 303 slide relative to each other. That is to say, by providing a slide rail 302 on the outer baffle 301 and slidably installing the inner baffle 303 on the slide rail 302, the outer baffle 301 and the inner baffle 303 slide relative to each other, and the consumer can turn the outer baffle 301 and the inner baffle 303 with one hand to open and close the water filter, which is more convenient.

[0058] In the above embodiments, in order to facilitate consumers' operation of the outer baffle 301 and the inner baffle 303, anti-slip textures or anti-slip protrusions can be provided on the surfaces of the outer baffle 301 and the inner baffle 303 to increase friction and facilitate consumer operation.

[0059] Optionally, in some embodiments, both the inner baffle and the outer baffle 301 are made of PP material.

[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments, the distance between the inner baffle and the outer baffle 301 is less than the thickness of the side wall of the inner box 2. Combined with the PP material used for the inner baffle and the outer baffle 301, the clamping firmness of the inner baffle and the outer baffle 301 on the side wall of the inner box 2 is increased, thereby improving the sealing performance of the filter port.

[0061] Optionally, in some embodiments, the angle between the inner baffle and the outer baffle 301 is an acute angle. The acute angle can further improve the fit between the inner baffle and the outer baffle 301 and the side wall of the inner box 2, thereby improving the sealing performance of the filter port.

[0062] Optionally, in some embodiments, two limiting protrusions 5 are provided on the side wall of the inner box 2, and are located on both sides of the water filter outlet, that is, the maximum movement position of the inner baffle and the outer baffle 301 is limited by the two limiting protrusions 5.

[0063] In other words, the key point of this utility model embodiment is: the use of an inner box 2 and an outer box 1, with the inner box 2 having a water filter outlet and a filter screen 4 at the outlet, and also including an outer baffle 301. When the outer baffle 301 overlaps with the water filter outlet, it blocks the outlet. Therefore, when instant noodles are needed, the outer baffle 301 is moved to overlap with the outlet to seal it. Water is then added to soften the noodles. When draining is needed, the outer baffle 301 is opened to expose the outlet, allowing water to drain. This reduces the amount of manual operation required by the consumer and lowers the risk of burns. After the water drains, the outer baffle 301 returns to its original position, sealing the outlet. Seasonings can then be added for mixing the noodles, preventing spillage and ensuring flavor. The drained water enters the outer box 1, allowing the consumer to add a soup packet for soup, greatly improving convenience and customer satisfaction.

[0064] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
