[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a snap-on easy-open insulated box, including a box cover 1 and a box body 2 forming a box-shaped structure. The box cover 1 and the box body 2 are provided with at least one matching snap-on device 3. The snap-on device 3 includes a snap-on tooth part 4 and a snap-on groove part 5. The snap-on tooth part 4 includes an elastic element 41 and a snap-on tooth 42. The snap-on tooth 42 is disposed on the elastic element 41. One end of the elastic element 41 is connected to the box cover 1. The snap-on groove part 5 includes a snap-on groove hole 51 and a snap-on groove opening 52. The snap-on groove hole 51 can be used to accommodate the elastic element 41, and the snap-on groove opening 52 can be used to engage the snap-on tooth 42.

[0034] The method of using this application is as follows: when it is necessary to close the insulated box, first let the lid 1 close naturally to the position of the box body 2, then align the matching buckle device 3 between the lid 1 and the box body 2, that is, insert the elastic element 41 into the slot hole 51, and the locking teeth 42 engage with the slot opening 52, thus completing the closing of the insulated box. If it is necessary to open the insulated box, simply reverse the steps.

[0035] It should be noted that when only one snap-fit ​​device 3 is used, its fixing effect is not as good as that of multiple snap-fit ​​devices 3. Therefore, the preferred solution is to use multiple snap-fit ​​devices 3. For example, snap-fit ​​devices 3 can be used on each of the two edges in the opposite front and rear directions, or snap-fit ​​devices 3 can be used on all four edges. Furthermore, multiple snap-fit ​​devices 3 can also be used on each edge to achieve a better fixing and sealing effect.

[0036] It should also be noted that the accompanying drawings of this application all illustrate that the toothed part 4 is set on the cover 1 and the slotted part 5 is set on the body 2. However, the reverse installation (i.e., the toothed part 4 is set on the body 2 and the slotted part 5 is set on the cover 1) can also achieve the technical effect of this application and still fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] In this embodiment, the elastic element 41 used is in the shape of a hinge, including a first hinge piece 411 and a second hinge piece 412. The first hinge piece 411 and the second hinge piece 412 are connected to each other to form a beveled insert 413. The first hinge piece 411 is connected to the box cover 1, and the second hinge piece 412 is provided with a locking tooth 42.

[0039] In use, the slanted insert 413 can be smoothly inserted into the card slot 51, and the locking teeth 42 on the second flap 412 are engaged with the card slot 52 to strengthen the fixation and prevent it from falling off.

[0040] Even better, the furthest distance between the first flap 411 and the second flap 412 is greater than the width of the slot hole 51. With this design, after the elastic element 41 is inserted into the slot hole 51, the elastic force between the first flap 411 and the second flap 412 will further fix the connection.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] In this embodiment, an anti-dislodgement groove 53 is also provided at the top of the slot hole 51 to prevent the elastic element 41 from falling off. Even after the elastic element 41 is inserted into the slot hole 51, it may still fall off. The anti-dislodgement groove 53 in this embodiment forms a protruding structure at the top of the slot hole 51. When the elastic element 41 is about to dislodge from the slot hole 51, it will be blocked by the protruding structure when it slides into the anti-dislodgement groove 53, thus preventing the lid 1 from being accidentally opened. When it needs to be opened for use, an external force can be applied to the elastic element 41 to make it jump over the anti-dislodgement groove 53, thereby allowing the lid 1 to be opened smoothly.

[0043] Example 4

[0044] In this embodiment, a removable sealing ring 11 is provided on the outer periphery of the lid 1 and / or the outer periphery of the opening of the box body 2. The sealing ring 11 abuts against the box body 2 after the lid 1 is closed, which can achieve a higher sealing and heat preservation effect. At the same time, due to the function of the sealing ring 11, a relatively sealed space is formed inside the box body 2, and the atmospheric pressure makes the fixation between the lid 1 and the box body 2 more stable.

[0045] The sealing ring 11 can be set only on the outer periphery of the cover 1, only on the outer periphery of the opening of the body 2, or on both the outer periphery of the cover 1 and the outer periphery of the opening of the body 2.

[0046] The sealing ring 11 can be made of elastomers such as rubber, silicone, or latex. These materials are often prone to aging, so the sealing ring 11 and the cover 1 are designed to be detachable, which makes it easy to clean and replace.

[0047] The detachable connection between the sealing cap and the box cover 1 can be selected from conventional detachable methods such as snap-fit ​​connection and threaded connection.

[0048] Example 5

[0049] In this embodiment, the lid 1 and the body 2 are provided with a hinge device 6. The lid 1 can be opened from the body 2 around the hinge device 6. At least one buckle device 3 is provided on the connecting edge of the lid 1 and the body 2 opposite to the hinge device 6.

[0050] The hinge device 6 allows the opening method of this application to be changed to a flip-top opening method, and the connection of the hinge device 6 will be more stable. In a specific implementation, the hinge device 6 can be provided on one side of the lid 1 to connect with the box body 2, and at least one latching device 3 can be provided on the connecting edge of the lid 1 and the box body 2 opposite to the hinge device 6. The preferred solution is to provide two latching devices 3.

[0051] In some other embodiments, at least one latching device 3 may be provided on the connecting edge of the cover 1 and the body 2 adjacent to the hinge device 6. For example, on the four connecting edges, one edge may be provided with the hinge device 6, and the other three edges may be provided with latching devices 3. Each connecting edge may be provided with at least one latching device 3.

[0052] Example 6

[0053] In this embodiment, the locking tooth 42 is hook-shaped, and the locking groove 5 is provided with a reinforcing fixing groove 54 that engages with the locking tooth 42. The function of the reinforcing fixing groove 54 is to make the engagement of the locking tooth 42 more stable, and the hook-shaped end of the locking tooth 42 can be fitted into the reinforcing fixing groove 54 to prevent accidental dislodgement.

[0054] Example 7

[0055] In this embodiment, the box body 2 includes a box wall and a box bottom. Both the box wall and the box bottom include at least an outer shell layer and a box body 2 insulation layer from the outside to the inside. The box body 2 insulation layer can be any of the following types:

[0056] Option 1: The insulation layer of the box 2 is configured with one of the following materials: sponge, silica aerogel, glass fiber, pearl cotton, EVA, aluminum foil cotton, and rubber and plastic materials.

[0057] Method 2: The insulation layer of box 2 is unfilled and is an inflatable structure. The inflatable structure makes it easy to compress and store box 2 while ensuring insulation.

[0058] Method 3: The insulation layer of the box 2 is filled with a brushed material, which is an inflatable brushed structure. The inflatable brushed structure also has good storage performance, and the brushing can enhance the stability of the product and prevent the box 2 from bulging.
