Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food preservation containers, and in particular to a silicone food preservation box. Background Technology
[0002] Food storage containers are used to store food to maintain its freshness and extend its shelf life. They can be categorized by material, such as plastic, glass, and silicone. Silicone containers are lightweight, have excellent sealing properties, are soft to the touch, and are flexible. They do not yellow or fade over long-term use, save space when stored, and are suitable for travel. Current silicone food storage containers typically consist of a food-containing body and a lid. The lid is screwed to the body for closure. When storing vegetables, fruits, or other foods, juices can easily remain in the grooves of the threads, making them difficult to clean and leading to bacterial growth. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a silicone food storage box that uses the magnetic principle to achieve the closure of the lid and the box body, making it easy to clean and reducing bacterial growth.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A silicone food storage container includes a container body and a lid for covering the upper part of the container body. Both the container body and the lid are provided with receiving grooves. A connecting piece is integrally provided between the outer side wall of the container body and the outer side wall of the lid. A first ear plate and a second ear plate are respectively provided on the side of the container body and the lid away from the connecting piece. A plurality of first magnet blocks are embedded around the receiving groove at the upper end of the container body. A plurality of second magnet blocks that attract each other to the first magnet blocks are embedded around the receiving groove at the upper end of the lid.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the box body and the box lid are arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the upper surface of the connecting piece is provided with a crease groove along the longitudinal center line.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a circular buckle hole is provided through the first ear plate, and a first through hole and a second through hole are provided on the first ear plate and the second ear plate, respectively.
[0008] As a preferred option, both the box body and the lid are made of transparent silicone.
[0009] As a preferred option, both the box body and the lid are bowl-shaped.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the wall thickness of the lower part of the receiving groove on the box body and the box cover is less than the wall thickness of the upper part of the receiving groove.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model achieves at least the following beneficial effects:
[0012] When closing the lid and body, the second magnet attracts the first magnet to achieve a tight seal, making it easy to operate. The lid and body have no threaded structure, eliminating the drawback of existing silicone food storage containers where juice can easily remain in the grooves of the threaded structure. The lid and body of this invention are easy to clean, reducing bacterial growth. The lid and body form an integrated structure, making them less likely to be lost. Attached Figure Description

However, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. These embodiments are provided herein to make the disclosure of this application more complete and to fully convey the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art.
[0019] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "several" or "more than" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" a second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or it can include contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Moreover, "above," "over," and "on top" of a second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" of a second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] like Figures 1-2As shown, the silicone food storage container includes a container body 1 and a lid 2. The lid 2 is used to cover the top of the container body 1. Both the container body 1 and the lid 2 have receiving grooves 3. The container body 1 can be used to hold vegetables, fruits, and other food items, as well as small amounts of liquid. For some vegetables and mushrooms that expand in volume, if their volume exceeds the depth of the receiving groove 3 on the container body 1, the lid 2, which also has a certain depth of receiving groove 3, creates a larger internal cavity when the lid 2 and the container body 1 are closed. The lid 2 can cover the surface of the vegetables or mushrooms, thus providing excellent preservation. Optionally, a stretchable silicone film can also be provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 3 on the lid 2. This allows the stretchable silicone film to have good extensibility when the lid 2 and the container body 1 are closed, accommodating the volume of expanding food items.
[0022] A connecting piece 4 is integrally provided between the outer wall of the box body 1 and the outer wall of the lid 2, so that the lid 2 and the box body 1 form a connected structure and are not easily lost. The box body 1 and the lid 2 are respectively provided with a first ear plate 5 and a second ear plate 6 on the side away from the connecting piece 4. Several first magnet blocks 7 are embedded around the upper end of the box body 1 around the receiving groove 3. Several second magnet blocks 8 that attract each other to the first magnet blocks 7 are embedded around the upper end of the lid 2 around the receiving groove 3. The first magnet blocks 7 and the second magnet blocks 8 can be integrally formed on the box body 1 and the lid 2 using a mold through injection molding or other processes, so that one magnetic pole of the second magnet block 8 on the lid 2 is opposite to the other opposite magnetic pole of the first magnet block 7 on the box body 1, thereby generating an attraction force, so that the lid 2 and the box body 1 can be attracted together.
[0023] When closing the lid 2 and the body 1, the lid 2 can be lifted by holding the second ear plate 6 and then placed on the top of the body 1. The connecting piece 4 is bent, and the second magnet 8 and the first magnet 7 attract each other to achieve a tight closure, which is convenient to operate.
[0024] Optionally, both the box body 1 and the lid 2 are bowl-shaped, and both are made of transparent silicone. The wall thickness of the lower part of the receiving groove 3 on the box body 1 and the lid 2 is less than the wall thickness of the upper part of the receiving groove 3. The thinner lower wall thickness increases the transparency of the lower part of the box body 1 and the lid 2, making it easier to observe the freshness of the food. The thicker upper wall thickness provides effective support and enclosure for the first magnet block 7 and the second magnet block 8, allowing for reasonable control of the amount of silicone used and reducing material costs. In addition, the connecting piece 4, the first ear plate 5, and the second ear plate 6 are also made of silicone.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the box body 1 and the box lid 2 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides. The upper surface of the connecting piece 4 is provided with a crease groove 41 along the longitudinal center line. When the box lid 2 is lifted and placed on the upper end of the box body 1, the crease groove 41 makes it easier for the connecting piece 4 to bend. In addition, the first ear plate 5 and the second ear plate 6 are respectively provided with a first through hole 9 and a second through hole 10. By providing the first through hole 9 and the second through hole 10, it is convenient to hang the box body 1 and the box lid 2 on the corresponding hooks when not in use.
[0027] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above under the concept of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
