Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pasta processing technology, specifically a four-layer box. Background Technology

[0002] In the realm of Chinese noodle making, filled noodles such as dumplings and chive boxes are widely loved for their unique flavor. Their preparation process typically involves multiple steps, including rolling out the dough, placing the filling, and pinching the edges together.

[0003] Currently, when making filled pasta dishes such as dumplings and chive boxes at home or in small workshops, key shaping steps such as pinching the edges together rely heavily on manual operation. Manual pinching is affected by differences in the operator's experience and technique, leading to inconsistent sealing of the finished product's edges. This results in some finished products leaking filling during cooking or frying due to incomplete pinching, directly affecting the taste and appearance. Furthermore, manual pinching requires repeated pressing and shaping, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid production, especially in batch production where efficiency is low.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a four-stack box. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a four-layer box including a box body. The box body includes a first manufacturing box, a second manufacturing box, a third manufacturing box, and a fourth manufacturing box, which are sequentially nested within each other. Each of the first, second, third, and fourth manufacturing boxes consists of a bottom box and a top box, and the bottom box and the top box are rotatably connected. The edge of the bottom box is provided with a toothed groove, and the edge of the top box is provided with teeth, which are adapted to the toothed groove.

[0006] By incorporating nested first to fourth production boxes, a multi-sized production tool is integrated into a single design. Compared to traditional single tools, this saves storage space, making it convenient for home or small workshops to store and carry. The appropriate production box can be selected based on the size of the dough, meeting diverse production needs. Furthermore, the rotating connection structure between the bottom and top boxes, along with the toothed grooves on the bottom and teeth on the top, replaces manual pinching. When the bottom and top boxes are closed, the teeth engage with the grooves to evenly and tightly pinch the edges of the dough, avoiding inconsistent sealing due to differences in manual operation experience. This significantly reduces the risk of leakage during cooking or frying, ensuring the final product's taste and appearance. Moreover, the pinching method between the top and bottom boxes eliminates the need for repeated manual pressing, reducing operational intensity and increasing production efficiency, making it particularly suitable for batch production.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, both the bottom box and the top box are semi-elliptical structures.

[0008] The technical advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: the semi-elliptical structure is highly compatible with the shape of filled pasta such as dumplings and chive boxes, allowing for a more fitting hold for the dough and filling, ensuring that the ingredients do not easily spill out during the production process, and solving the problem of food waste caused by poor shape control during handmade production. At the same time, it is easier for users to hold and operate, reducing hand fatigue when opening and closing the box, making the production process more effortless; and the regular semi-elliptical outline guides the dough to distribute evenly, and combined with the pinching action of the teeth and grooves, makes the finished product more standardized and uniform in shape, further improving the appearance of the pasta.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting post is fixed to the side of the bottom box, and a rotating groove is formed on the outer side of the connecting post. A rotating post is fixed to the side of the top box, and a rotating post is fixed to the inner side of the rotating post. The rotating post is rotatably connected to the rotating groove to achieve rotational engagement between the bottom box and the top box.

[0010] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the rotating column rotates in the rotating groove, ensuring the smoothness of the opening and closing process of the bottom box and the top box, and avoiding the problem of the box jamming or displacement caused by uneven force during manual operation.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a slot is provided on the inner side of the connecting column, and a locking post is fixed on the outer side of the rotating column. The locking post is engaged and connected in the slot to achieve mutual engagement and positioning between the first manufacturing box, the second manufacturing box, the third manufacturing box, and the fourth manufacturing box.

[0012] The technical advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: When the first to fourth crafting boxes are nested, the engagement of the locking posts and slots prevents the crafting boxes from loosening and separating during storage or carrying, solving the problem of traditional combination tools easily scattering and ensuring the portability of the tools. At the same time, the relative positions of each crafting box are more precise when nested, avoiding collisions and wear between parts; and when it is necessary to disassemble them for use, only appropriate force needs to be applied to disengage the locking posts from the slots, making operation simple and further improving the practicality of the four-stack box in home or small workshop scenarios.

[0013] This utility model provides a four-stack box. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The grooves on the bottom edge and the teeth on the top edge of the box replace the traditional hand-pinching operation, allowing the edges of the dough to be pinched evenly and tightly. This effectively avoids inconsistent sealing results caused by differences in operator experience and technique, greatly reducing the risk of filling leakage during cooking or frying, and ensuring the taste and appearance of the finished product.

[0015] The four nested containers integrate different sizes of dough-making functions, allowing for flexible selection based on the size of the dough and meeting diverse production needs. Furthermore, the nested arrangement of the four containers allows for compact storage when not in use, significantly saving storage space and making them convenient for home use or small workshops to store and carry.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a four-stack box includes a box body 100, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the box body 100 includes a first manufacturing box 110, a second manufacturing box 120, a third manufacturing box 130, and a fourth manufacturing box 140, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the first crafting box 110, the second crafting box 120, the third crafting box 130, and the fourth crafting box 140 are nested together in sequence. This nesting arrangement allows the four crafting boxes to be compactly stored together when not in use, significantly saving storage space and making them convenient for storage and transport in homes or small workshops. When different sizes of crafting boxes are needed, the required box can be easily removed from the nest.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first production box 110, the second production box 120, the third production box 130, and the fourth production box 140 are all composed of a base box 200 and a top box 300, and the base box 200 and the top box 300 are rotatably connected. This rotatable connection between the base box 200 and the top box 300 allows the production boxes to be opened and closed, facilitating the placement of dough and fillings, as well as subsequent dough shaping operations. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom box 200 has a groove 210 on its edge, and the top box 300 has teeth 310 on its edge, with the teeth 310 fitting into the groove 210. When the bottom box 200 and the top box 300 are closed, the teeth 310 can be embedded in the groove 210, thereby pinching the edge of the pasta placed between the bottom box 200 and the top box 300 together, ensuring a tight seal and reducing leakage during cooking or frying. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the teeth 310 and the groove 210 results in a more regular shape for the pasta's edges, improving its appearance. Figures 4-6 As shown, both the bottom box 200 and the top box 300 have a semi-elliptical structure. This semi-elliptical structure makes it compatible with the shape of filled pasta dishes such as dumplings and chive boxes, allowing for better accommodation of dough and fillings, thus helping to produce standard-shaped pasta dishes. Furthermore, this shape makes it easy for users to hold and handle during use.

[0026] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 A connecting post 400 is fixed to the side of the bottom box 200, and a rotating groove 420 is formed on the outer side of the connecting post 400. A rotating post 500 is fixed to the side of the top box 300, and a rotating post 510 is fixed to the inner side of the rotating post 500. The rotating post 510 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 420. The rotation of the rotating post 510 in the rotating groove 420 provides stable support and guidance for the rotation of the bottom box 200 and the top box 300, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the rotation process, avoiding jamming or deviation during rotation, and ensuring the convenience of opening and closing the box.

[0027] Among them, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the connecting post 400 on the side of the bottom box 200 in the first manufacturing box 110 is a long column (see reference). Figure 4The connecting posts 400 on the sides of the second production box 120, the third production box 130, and the fourth production box 140 are short columns (see reference). Figure 5 and Figure 6 (As shown). The long cylindrical connecting column 400 provides more structural support for the first manufacturing box 110, making it the innermost manufacturing box and thus enabling a stable nesting with the outer second manufacturing box 120. The outer second manufacturing box 120, third manufacturing box 130, and fourth manufacturing box 140 use short cylindrical connecting columns 400, which avoids redundant space occupation caused by excessively long connecting columns, ensures a tight fit between the manufacturing boxes when nested, reduces gaps, improves the compactness of the overall structure, and saves storage space.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, a slot 410 is provided on the inner side of the connecting post 400, and a locking post 520 is fixed on the outer side of the rotating post 500. The locking post 520 is engaged within the slot 410. When multiple boxes are nested together, the locking action of the locking post 520 and the slot 410 securely connects the boxes, preventing loosening or separation during storage or transport, thus ensuring the stability of the nesting. Furthermore, when it is necessary to separate the boxes, simply apply a certain force to disengage the locking post 520 from the slot 410; the operation is simple and convenient.

[0029] When using this four-fold box, if Figures 1-6 As shown, select the appropriate making box according to the size of the dough you want to make. For example, to make smaller dumplings, you can choose the first making box 110; to make larger chive dumplings, you can choose the fourth making box 140. After taking out the selected making box, rotate the top box 300 to open the bottom box 200 and the top box 300. Place the dough in the bottom box 200, add an appropriate amount of filling, and then rotate the top box 300 to close it with the bottom box 200. At this time, the teeth 310 are engaged in the grooves 210, completing the pinching of the dough edges. Finally, open the top box 300 and take out the made dough.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
