Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food heating and cooking, specifically a lunch box for a food heating device. Background Technology

[0002] Food heating appliances are a common device in food cooking, using electric or gas heating on a fixed stove to heat and cook food. With social progress and the ever-increasing pace of life, people have higher and higher demands for quick and convenient eating, which has led to the emergence of food container heating devices.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN111972997A discloses a convenient heating structure for a takeout container. It utilizes a compartmentalized structure to separate different types of food and heats them in sections via a bottom heating layer. However, while the aforementioned heating device for the takeout container is simple in structure, its heating is uneven.

[0004] To address this, a lunchbox heating accessory on the market is equipped with a drive component. This drive component rotates the heating accessory, thereby heating the lunchbox evenly.

[0005] The lunch boxes generally use disposable aluminum foil containers to accommodate heating.

[0006] However, this type of lunchbox has the following drawbacks in actual use:

[0007] 1. Existing lunch boxes are relatively soft. In order to be compatible with the heating equipment, the height of the lunch box must be higher than the height of the equipment entrance so that it can be clamped and rotated by the equipment. This results in a large overall size of the lunch box. In addition, since aluminum foil lunch boxes are for single use, the manufacturing and usage costs of the lunch boxes are relatively high.

[0008] 2. Existing lunch boxes are made of soft material and will deform when rotated with the equipment, resulting in poor stability and even damage, causing food to leak out, making it difficult to process properly and wasting food. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the technical deficiencies of existing food container heating devices, this utility model provides a food container for a food heating device. It is compatible with heating equipment, has a simple structure, high pressure resistance, greatly improves stability, ensures uniform heating of food, prevents food leakage, reduces manufacturing costs, and ensures product performance.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a food container for a food heating device, including a bottom shell and a top cover. The food container also includes a protective frame to prevent the top cover from deforming when the food is heated. The protective frame is installed on the top cover and presses the top cover tightly onto the bottom shell, so that the protective frame covers the corners of the top cover, thereby forming a reinforcing layer at the corners of the top cover.

[0011] Based on the above optimization, the protective frame presses the upper cover tightly against the bottom shell by pressing down, forming a food placement cavity with the bottom shell.

[0012] Based on the above optimization, a sealing block for sealing connection is provided between the upper cover and the bottom shell.

[0013] Based on the above optimization, the protective frame has a downward pressing protrusion for sealing and fixing the sealing block between the upper cover and the bottom shell, and the downward pressing protrusion is fastened to the four side edges of the bottom shell.

[0014] Based on the above optimization, the sealing block is set as a corrugated sealing silicone with a buffering effect.

[0015] Based on the above optimization, the protective frame is set as a stainless steel pressure frame.

[0016] Based on the above optimization, the top cover is set as a disposable aluminum foil cover.

[0017] Based on the above optimization, the bottom shell is set as a stainless steel reusable shell with a handle.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. The food heating device of this utility model uses a food container with an added protective frame. This protective frame is installed on the top cover and presses the top cover tightly onto the bottom shell, thus reinforcing the corners of the top cover. This structure is easy to assemble, simple in design, and effectively strengthens the easily deformable corners of the top cover, increasing its compressive strength and greatly improving its stability. It is suitable for use in food heating devices, ensuring uniform heating of food.

[0020] 2. The food heating device of this utility model uses a lunch box that improves the sealing performance between the top cover and the bottom shell by adding a sealing block, preventing food leakage during heating, ensuring uniform heating of the product, and guaranteeing the quality of food processing. At the same time, the amount of aluminum foil used in the lunch box is half that of the prior art, effectively reducing the manufacturing and use costs of the lunch box. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;

[0022] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the present invention;

[0023] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the present invention; Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. The applicant hereby emphasizes that the following embodiments are one or more examples that can realize the technical solutions of the present utility model, obtain the corresponding technical effects, and solve the corresponding technical problems, but do not mean that the protection scope of the technical solution only includes the following embodiments.

[0025] according to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the food heating device of this utility model mainly includes a bottom shell 1 and a top cover 2. The food container also includes a protective frame 3 to prevent the top cover 2 from deforming when the food is heated. The protective frame 3 is installed on the top cover 2 and presses the top cover 2 tightly onto the bottom shell 1, so that the protective frame 3 covers the corners of the top cover 2 respectively, thereby forming a reinforcing layer at the corners of the top cover 2.

[0026] Furthermore, the protective frame 3 presses the upper cover 2 tightly against the bottom shell 1 by pressing down, and together with the bottom shell 1, forms a food placement cavity 4.

[0027] The food container for this food heating device features a protective frame 3. This frame 3 is installed on the upper cover 2 and presses the upper cover 2 firmly against the bottom shell 1, thus reinforcing the corners of the upper cover 2. This design facilitates assembly, simplifies the structure, and effectively strengthens the easily deformable corners of the upper cover 2, enhancing its compressive strength and significantly improving its stability. Suitable for use in food heating devices, it ensures even heating of food.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, to be further detailed, a sealing block 5 for sealing connection is provided between the upper cover 2 and the bottom shell 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the protective frame 3 has a downward pressing protrusion 31 for sealing and fixing the sealing block 5 between the upper cover 2 and the bottom shell 1, and the downward pressing protrusion 31 is fastened to the four sides of the bottom shell 1.

[0030] The sealing block 5 is configured as a corrugated silicone sealant with a buffering function.

[0031] By adding a sealing block 5, the sealing performance between the upper cover 2 and the bottom shell 1 is improved, preventing food leakage during heating, ensuring uniform heating of the product, and guaranteeing the quality of food processing. Furthermore, the sealing block 5 itself provides a cushioning effect during assembly or food processing, effectively protecting the food container.

[0032] In addition, the upper cover 2 is a disposable aluminum foil cover, the protective frame 3 is a stainless steel pressure frame, and the bottom shell 1 is a stainless steel reusable shell with a handle.

[0033] The lunchbox with this structure enhances structural stability and compressive strength through the individual characteristics of the top cover 2, bottom shell 1, and protective frame 3. It is compatible with heating devices and ensures thermal conductivity, thus guaranteeing processing quality.

[0034] Meanwhile, by using a combination of disposable aluminum foil lids and reusable stainless steel shells, the amount of aluminum foil used in the lunch box is reduced to half that of existing technologies, effectively reducing the manufacturing and usage costs of the lunch box.
