Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food packaging box technology, specifically to a mouth-held food packaging box and its flip-top. Background Technology

[0002] Oral food packaging typically consists of a box body and a lid. Chewing gum, cigarettes, and other oral foods are placed inside the food compartment of the box. Opening the lid allows access to the oral food for consumption. The lid usually has a recycling compartment and a hinged flap. The recycling compartment is used to hold the consumed oral food, which is then sealed by the flap. This allows chewed gum residue or cigarettes removed after a period of use to be stored in the recycling compartment, preventing indiscriminate disposal and environmental pollution.

[0003] Existing oral food packaging boxes feature a flip-top structure where one side is connected to the outer wall of the lid via a flexible connector to achieve the opening and closing function. However, this structure suffers from a problem of incomplete sealing of the food cavity. Specifically, tiny gaps exist at the connection points between the lower ends of the flexible connector and the side wall of the lid. When the lid is opened, these gaps widen, forming a connecting channel that allows outside air to enter the lid's interior, ultimately leading to communication between the food cavity and the outside environment. This design flaw causes two problems: firstly, it causes the oral food to become damp; secondly, it accelerates the evaporation of food components, severely affecting the taste of the oral food. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, the technical problem to be solved in this application is to provide a food packaging box for oral use and its flip-top, so as to solve the problems of poor sealing of the food cavity in the prior art, which makes the oral food susceptible to moisture or accelerates the volatilization of the oral food, thus affecting the taste.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a flip-top for a food packaging box that can be held in the mouth. The bottom surface of the flip-top is provided with an annular barrier and a V-shaped groove. The V-shaped groove is located outside the annular barrier and divides the flip-top into a fixed part and a flip-up part. The bottom surface of the fixed part is provided with multiple fixing posts arranged side by side for inserting and connecting the cover of the food packaging box to fix it. The flip-up part can be flipped up to open or snapped down to close along the V-shaped groove.

[0006] Based on the above technical solutions, the bottom surface of the flip cover in this application is provided with a V-shaped groove, which divides the flip cover into two parts: a fixed part and a flip-up part. The fixed part is inserted and fixed on the box cover, and the flip-up part can be flipped up to open or snapped down to close along the V-shaped groove, thereby completely sealing the food cavity. Opening and closing the flip cover will not cause the food cavity to communicate with the outside world. The food cavity has good sealing performance, and the food can maintain a good taste even after being stored in the mouth for a long time.

[0007] In the above technical solution, preferably, the base of the fixing post is provided with an annular groove. After the fixing post is inserted into the fixing hole on the cover, the wall of the fixing hole is engaged in the annular groove, fixing the flip cover to the box cover. This structure is easy to assemble and allows for the replacement of flip covers of different colors to meet personalized needs.

[0008] In the above technical solution, preferably, the bottom surface of the fixing part is provided with an annular protrusion, which surrounds the multiple fixing columns, thereby improving the structural strength of the fixing part and preventing deformation.

The lid includes a cover body, and a recycling cavity is provided on the top surface of the cover body. The recycling cavity is provided with an openable and closable flip cover, which adopts the flip cover of the mouth-held food packaging box described above.

[0010] In the above technical solution, preferably, the top surface of the annular wall of the recycling chamber of the box cover is provided with a sunken annular step, the top surface of the annular step is provided with a fixing platform corresponding to the fixing part, the fixing platform is provided with fixing holes corresponding to the multiple fixing posts, and the fixing posts are set through the fixing holes.

[0011] In the above technical solution, preferably, the outer edge of the flip cover is adapted to the outer diameter of the step surface of the annular step. After the flip cover is closed, the outer edge of the flip cover presses against the step surface of the annular step, and the top surface of the flip cover is flush with the top surface of the box cover, which is convenient for storing the packaging box and has an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0012] In the above technical solution, preferably, the annular wall of the cover is also provided with a notch that penetrates its side wall, and the notch is arranged opposite to the fixing platform to facilitate opening the flip cover.

[0013] In the above technical solution, preferably, the bottom surface of the notch is located below the step surface of the annular step, and the height of the annular enclosure is greater than the depth of the notch.

[0014] In the above technical solution, preferably, the outer wall of the annular enclosure is provided with multiple buckles, and the inner wall of the annular step is correspondingly provided with multiple hooks that cooperate with the buckles. In this embodiment, after the flip cover is closed, the hooks engage the buckles, which can prevent the flip cover from being opened unintentionally.

[0015] In the above technical solution, preferably, the buckle is wider in the middle than on both sides along its length, and the thickness at the root of the upper and lower surfaces is greater than that at the outer edge. This structural design makes closing and opening the flip cover easier and more convenient.

[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the oral food packaging box and its flip-top provided in this application solve the problems of poor sealing of the food cavity in the prior art, which makes the oral food susceptible to moisture or accelerates the evaporation of the oral food, thus affecting the taste. Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The flip cover is divided into two parts: a fixed part and a flip-up part, by a V-shaped groove on the bottom surface. The fixed part is inserted into the cover of the food packaging box and fixed in place. The flip-up part can be flipped up to open or snapped down to close along the V-shaped groove, so that the food cavity is completely sealed. Opening and closing the flip cover will not cause the food cavity to communicate with the outside world. The food cavity has good sealing performance, and the food can maintain a good taste even after being stored in the mouth for a long time. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] To provide a clearer explanation and description of the technical solutions and implementation methods of this application, several preferred specific embodiments for implementing the technical solutions of this application are described below.

[0033] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "inner" and "outer", "front" and "back" and "left" and "right" in this article are based on the product's usage status. Obviously, the use of these directional terms does not limit the scope of protection of this solution.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this application provides a food packaging box for oral use, including a box body 10 and a lid 20 detachably disposed at the opening of the box body 10. The box body 10 has a food cavity 11 for storing oral food. In this embodiment, the box body 10 and the lid 20 adopt a snap-fit ​​structure. The box body 10 and the lid 20 can be molded from plastic material and have a cylindrical shape.

[0035] The lid 20 includes a lid body 21, and a recycling chamber 22 is provided on the top surface of the lid body 21 for storing oral food after consumption. The recycling chamber 22 is provided with an openable and closable flip cover 30 for opening or closing the recycling chamber 22.

[0036] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the bottom surface of the flip cover 30 is provided with an annular retaining ring 31, which is used to insert into the recovery chamber 22 to achieve positioning and sealing functions. A V-shaped groove 32 is also provided on the bottom surface of the flip cover 30, located outside the annular retaining ring 31. The V-shaped groove 32 divides the flip cover 30 into two parts: a fixing part 33 and a flip-up part 34. The bottom of the V-shaped groove 32 forms a flexible connecting part, allowing the flip-up part 34 to be flipped upwards along the V-shaped groove 32 to open or downwards to close the recovery chamber 22. Multiple fixing posts 35 are arranged side-by-side on the bottom surface of the fixing part 33, and these posts 35 are inserted into fixing holes on the cover body 21 for fixation.

[0037] Please see again Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the top surface of the annular wall of the recycling chamber 22 of the cover 20 is provided with a recessed annular step 23. The top surface of the annular step 23 is provided with a fixing platform 24 corresponding to the fixing part 33. The fixing platform 24 has fixing holes 25 corresponding to multiple fixing posts 35. The base of each fixing post 35 has an annular groove 36. The fixing post 35 passes through the fixing hole 25, and the wall of the fixing hole 25 engages with the annular groove 36 to fix the flip cover 30 onto the cover body 21. This method requires no tools during assembly, making it simple and convenient. Furthermore, different colored flip covers 30 can be easily replaced to meet personalized needs.

[0038] The outer edge of the flip cover 30 is matched with the outer diameter of the step surface of the annular step 23. After the flip cover 30 is closed, the outer edge of the flip cover 30 presses against the step surface of the annular step 23. The top surface of the flip cover 30 is flush with the top surface of the cover body 21, and there are no protrusions on the surface, which makes it convenient for storage. At the same time, it also enhances the aesthetics of the product.

[0039] The annular wall of the cover 21 is also provided with a notch 26 that penetrates its side wall. The notch 26 is positioned opposite to the fixed platform 24 and is used to open the flip cover 30. The bottom surface of the notch 26 is located below the step surface of the annular step 23. The height of the annular barrier 31 is greater than the depth of the notch 26. On the one hand, it is easier to open the flip cover 30. On the other hand, the annular barrier 31 can prevent external debris from entering the recycling chamber 22 or prevent edible food items stored in the recycling chamber 22 from leaking out.

[0040] The top surface of the fixing platform 24 is located below the step surface of the annular step 23. An annular protrusion 37 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixing part 33. The annular protrusion 37 is arranged around multiple fixing posts 35, and its height is adapted to the height difference between the fixing platform 24 and the annular step 23. This design enables the fixing part 33 to have high structural strength, maintains the flatness of the upper surface of the flip cover 30, and prevents the opening and closing of the flip-up part 34 from being affected by the deformation of the fixing part 33.

[0041] Combined Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, multiple buckles 38 are provided on the outer wall of the annular enclosure 31, and the multiple buckles 38 can be evenly distributed along the circumference. The inner wall of the annular step 23 is provided with multiple hooks 27 that cooperate with the buckles 38. When the flip cover 30 is closed, the hooks 27 lock the buckles 38, which can prevent the flip cover 30 from being opened unintentionally.

[0042] In this application, the width of the buckle 38 in the middle along its length is greater than that on both sides, that is, the middle is wider and the sides are narrower. The thickness of the root of the upper and lower surfaces of the buckle 38 is greater than the thickness of its outer edge, that is, the root is thicker and the outer edge is thinner. This design allows the flip cover 30 to be easily closed or opened by pressing down and lifting up.

[0043] Based on the above description of specific embodiments, the oral food packaging box and its flip-top provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0044] First, a V-shaped groove is provided on the bottom surface of the flip-top, dividing it into a fixed part and a flip-up part. The fixed part is fixed to the cover body by a fixing post, and the bottom of the V-shaped groove forms a flexible connection part. The flip-up part can be flipped up along the V-shaped groove to open or snapped down to close the retraction chamber. This flip-top structure completely seals the food cavity, preventing the food cavity from communicating with the outside world when the flip-top is opened or closed. The good sealing of the food cavity ensures that food can maintain its good taste even after being stored in the mouth for a long time.

[0045] Secondly, the flip cover adopts a structure in which the fixed post is inserted and fixed to the cover body. Assembly does not require tools and is simple and convenient. Different colored flip cover combinations can be changed at will to meet personalized needs.

[0046] Third, multiple buckles are provided on the outer wall of the ring-shaped enclosure, and multiple hooks are provided on the inner wall of the ring-shaped steps. When the flip cover is closed, the hooks lock the buckles, which can prevent the flip cover from being opened unintentionally.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof as used herein are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
