Two nested sections 8 are rotatably arranged behind the arc edge 7, and the lid 2 is connected between the nested sections 8. The lid 2... The upper protrusion is provided with four expansion slots 9; up to three insert boxes 10 are installed in the first insert 3, the second insert 4, the third insert 5 and the fourth insert 6; the top of each insert box 10 is provided with a sealing cover 11; one of the bottom corners of the sealing cover 11 extends downward to provide an auxiliary plate 12; the outer side of the auxiliary plate 12 is provided with a recess 13, and the recess 13 is provided with friction texture 14; the front side of the second insert 4 and the third insert 5 are provided with a fixing seat 15, and a fastener 16 is rotatably provided between the fixing seats 15, and a roller 17 is rotatably provided on the fastener 16.

[0028] In this invention, the inner box 10 of the lunchbox can be used together with the box body 1 as a mother-daughter box, or it can be used alone, improving the versatility of the lunchbox in different scenarios. Users can choose the number and combination of compartments to carry according to their actual needs, meeting their dining needs in different occasions. In this embodiment, the four slots (first slot 3, second slot 4, third slot 5, and fourth slot 6) are designed with different shapes and sizes to meet the needs of holding different types of food. The size and shape of each slot are coordinated with each other, making the overall structure of the lunchbox compact and the space utilization more reasonable. In this invention, the top of each inner box 10 is equipped with a sealing cover 11, which can effectively prevent food from spilling or spoiling during carrying, maintaining the freshness and hygiene of the food. In this invention, users can wash the used inner box 10 separately as needed, without having to wash the entire lunchbox, reducing cleaning difficulty and saving time and effort.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5The illustrated detachable multi-cavity lunchbox includes a box body 1 and a lid 2. The box body 1 has a downwardly extending arc edge 7. Two nesting sections 8 are rotatably positioned on the rear side of the arc edge 7, meaning two horizontal grooves are formed between the arc edge 7 and the box body 1. The nesting sections 8 are rotatably positioned on the arc edge 7 as a central axis. When the lid 2 is positioned between the nesting sections 8, it can be rotated on the rear side of the box body 1 to seal and open it for use. In this embodiment, the box body 1 has four cavities. Specifically, during the manufacturing process, with the box body 1 as a planar reference, the box body 1 is recessed and pulled out to form one cavity. Gaps and intervals exist between the bottoms of each cavity. The above is only to illustrate the shape of each cavity and does not limit the manufacturing process of the box body 1.

[0031] The four cavities include:

[0032] The upper right corner of the box 1 is recessed to form a first groove 3, which is the largest of the four cavities and is a horizontal rectangular shape.

[0033] The box body 1 has a second groove 4 located in front of the first groove 3, that is, the length of the second groove 4 is the same as that of the first groove 3, and it is a horizontally flat and long shape.

[0034] A third groove 5 is recessed downward on the box body 1 between the left side of the first groove 3 and the second groove 4. The third groove 5 is in the shape of a vertical, flat elongated shape.

[0035] A fourth groove 6 is provided on the box body 1 at the rear side of the third groove 5, that is, the length of the fourth groove 6 is consistent with that of the third groove 5, and it presents a small cavity with a slightly square shape.

[0036] In the above, the sum of the lengths of the second groove 4 and the third groove 5 equals the inner length of the box 1, and the sum of the widths of the third groove 5 and the fourth groove 6 equals the inner width of the box 1.

[0037] In practical applications, the first slot 3 is the largest capacity cavity, suitable for holding staple foods such as rice, noodles, and sushi, or large protein-rich foods like whole pieces of fried fish or chicken cutlets. The second slot 4 can be used to hold chopsticks, portable forks and spoons, or long, thin fruits like bananas or cucumber strips. The third slot 5 can be used to hold long-stemmed vegetables like stir-fried greens and broccoli, with its vertical layout preventing folding and damage. The fourth slot 6, being smaller, can be used to store small, high-calorie foods like nuts and chocolate, or appetizers like kimchi and olives; its independent small space effectively prevents odor diffusion. These are all common storage options, and specific adjustments can be made according to user needs.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] In Embodiment 2, the box body 1 is described to have at least four cavities. Furthermore, in this embodiment, up to three insert boxes 10 are installed in the first insert groove 3, the second insert groove 4, the third insert groove 5, and the fourth insert groove 6, and a sealing cover 11 is provided on the top of the insert box 10. In this way, the insert box 10 can be used together with the box body 1 as a mother and daughter box, or it can be taken out and used separately, which improves the versatility of use in different scenarios.

[0040] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, each of the first, third, and fourth slots has a correspondingly sized container 10. For common usage needs, the container 10 in the first slot 3 can be used to hold staple foods such as rice; the container 10 in the third slot 5 is used to hold side dishes; and the container 10 in the fourth slot 6, being smaller, can be used to hold liquid or powdered dipping sauces such as chili sauce, mustard, and soy sauce. The second slot 4 does not contain a container 10 and can be used to hold fruits and vegetables, or utensils such as chopsticks and forks. This allows users to directly remove each container 10 for consumption, reducing the constraints of space and providing greater flexibility and convenience.

[0041] Since the container 10 in the fourth slot 6 is often used to hold liquids and powders, and is small in size, it is inconvenient to open and is easy to knock over when opened, making it inedible or soiling clothes and the environment. Therefore, an auxiliary plate 12 is provided extending downward from one corner of the bottom of the sealing cover 11. The auxiliary plate 12 and the sealing cover 11 are integrally formed. The outer side of the auxiliary plate 12 is provided with a recess 13 adapted to the shape of the human fingertip, and the recess 13 is provided with friction texture 14. The two work together to allow the user to easily and almost error-free open the sealing cover 11 for use.

[0042] Understandably, users can use different colors or labels to distinguish the purpose (such as "raw food" and "cooked food") and directly take out a suitable size container 10 for individual use. For example, if only a small amount of food such as nuts, fruits, or small salads is being carried, a single container 10 can be taken out to reduce the overall volume and weight of the lunchbox. At the same time, the used container 10 can be washed separately to reduce cleaning difficulty.

[0043] Example 4

[0044] like Figures 1 to 5 The detachable multi-cavity lunch box shown has a lid 2 that rotates on the rear side of the box body 1. The lid 2 has a double-layer design to enhance the protection of the food and the inserts 10 inside the box body 1. At the same time, four expansion slots 9 are raised on the lid 2. The size and distribution of the expansion slots 9 are adapted to each insert slot. They are mainly used to accommodate the increased height when inserts 10 are placed in the insert slots, so as to achieve separate protection for each insert 10.

[0045] Furthermore, a fixing seat 15 is provided on the front side of the second slot 4 and the third slot 5, and a fastener 16 is rotatably provided between the fixing seats 15. The fastener 16 is a stainless steel rod bent into a certain shape, which can achieve the edge fitting of the combined box body 1 and the box cover 2. The fastener 16 is attached to the top of the box cover 2, which can fix the box cover 2 above the box body 1, thereby playing the role of limiting and protecting the embedded box 10 and food stored inside. At the same time, the rotating roller 17 on the fastener 16 contacts the surface of the box cover 2, reducing friction during opening and closing, making locking and unlocking smoother, especially suitable for one-handed operation. The roller 17 is mainly made of food-grade silicone or nylon material to avoid the metal rod directly rubbing against the surface of the box cover 2, which would cause scratches after long-term use and affect the appearance of the lunch box.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof 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. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0047] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
