[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0023] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the lunchbox pot, as follows:

[0024] A lunchbox pot with a built-in cutlery holder, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a lunchbox 1, a mounting plate 101, a lid 2, a sealing cap 3, a limiting component 4, a first spring 5, a lifting frame 10, a placement box 11, and a discharging assembly. The lunchbox 1 is equipped with a lid 2. The interior of the lunchbox 1 has a double-layer structure. The mounting plate 101 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the lunchbox 1. The sealing cap 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate 101. The limiting component 4 is slidably connected to the top of the side wall of the lunchbox 1. The limiting component 4 is in a limiting fit with the end of the sealing cap 3. The end of the sealing cap 3 is provided with a groove 20, and the end of the limiting component 4 is provided with a wedge-shaped block. When the sealing cap 3 is sealed... When the lid 3 is closed, the inclined surface of the wedge block contacts the side wall of the sealing lid 3, guiding the limiting member 4 to slide along the side wall of the lunch box 1 until the wedge block is embedded in the groove 20 at the end of the sealing lid 3, forming a stable limit. A first spring 5 is sleeved on the connecting rod of the limiting member 4 that slides radially. One end of the first spring 5 is connected to the limiting member 4, and the other end is connected to the lunch box 1. The mounting plate 101 is slidably connected to the lifting frame 10. The lifting frame 10 is provided with a place box 11 for placing tableware. The mounting plate 101 is provided with a discharge component for lifting the lifting frame 10.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the discharge assembly includes a three-section connecting rod 6, a rack 7, a gear 8, and a second spring 9. The second spring 9 is installed inside the mounting plate 101. Two racks 7 are slidably connected to the side of the mounting plate 101. One rack 7 passes through the mounting plate 101 and is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 10. The top of the other rack 7 is connected to the sealing cover 3 by a three-section connecting rod 6, and the bottom end is connected to the top of the second spring 9. The bottom of the second spring 9 is connected inside the mounting plate 101. The gear 8 is rotatably connected inside the mounting plate 101. Both racks 7 mesh with the gear 8 and are located on both sides of the gear 8. Through the transmission design of the gear 8 and the rack 7, the sealing cover 3 opens and the lifting frame 10 rises synchronously, reducing the user's operation steps.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a vertical plate 1001, a guide rod 12, a third spring 13, and a rubber band 14. The top of the lifting frame 10 is connected to several vertical plates 1001, which surround the placement box 11. Several guide rods 12 are slidably connected to the vertical plates 1001. The guide rods 12 on the left and right sides of the placement box 11 are connected to the rubber band 14. The guide rods 12 are fitted with the third spring 13. One end of the third spring 13 is connected to the vertical plate 1001, and the other end is connected to the guide rod 12. The elastic combination of the rubber band 14 and the third spring 13 forms an adaptive fixing structure, which can adapt to tableware of different sizes and prevent tableware from shaking or falling off in the placement box 11.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a cleaning tube 15. The cleaning tube 15 is rotatably connected to the inside of the side wall of the lunch box 1. The bottom of the cleaning tube 15 is provided with a standard threaded interface, which can be quickly connected to an external water pipe.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a torsion spring 16. The bottom of the cleaning tube 15 is fitted with a torsion spring 16. One end of the torsion spring 16 is connected to the cleaning tube 15, and the other end is connected to the lunch box 1. The bottom of the cleaning tube 15 has a groove 20.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a control valve 17. The lower end of the cleaning pipe 15 is equipped with a control valve 17, which is connected to the lunch box 1. The control valve 17 is a rotary regulating valve. By rotating the valve core, the cross-sectional area of ​​the internal channel of the cleaning pipe 15 can be changed. Users can adjust the control valve 17 to precisely control the water jet speed and flow rate to adapt to different cleaning needs.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a rotator 18. The rotator 18 is snapped into the bottom of the lunch box 1. The rotator 18 is snapped into the cleaning tube 15 through the groove 20. The rotator 18 is quickly connected to the cleaning tube 15 through the snap-fit ​​method, which is simple to operate.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a dust plug 19. The bottom of the cleaning tube 15 is provided with a dust plug 19, which is flush with the bottom surface of the lunch box 1. The dust plug 19 can completely seal the bottom interface of the cleaning tube 15 to prevent dust or foreign objects from entering.

[0032] When a user needs to eat, they first manually open the lid 2, then pull the limiting member 4 to the side. At this time, the limiting member 4 slides radially along the side wall of the lunchbox 1, and the first spring 5 connected to the limiting member 4 is stretched, generating rebound potential energy. When the end of the limiting member 4 disengages from the sealing cover 3, the second spring 9, which is in a stretched state inside the mounting plate 101, generates a downward pulling force through the connected rack 7. The rack 7 transmits the downward force to the sealing cover 3 through the three-section connecting rod 6, pushing the sealing cover 3 to rotate around the top pivot of the lunchbox 1, thus automatically opening it. At the same time, another rack 7, which is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 10, moves upward due to the meshing transmission of the gear 8, causing the lifting frame 10 and the placement box 11 to be lifted from the side wall of the lunchbox 1. The tableware in the placement box 11 rises with the lifting frame 10 to a position that is easy to take out, and the user can take it directly.

[0033] After the meal, the user places the cleaned tableware into the corresponding storage box 11 according to category, and then manually rotates the sealing lid 3 to close it at the top of the lunch box 1. When the sealing lid 3 is rotated, its end pulls the rack 7 connected to the second spring 9 upward through the three-section connecting rod 6, causing the second spring 9 to stretch and store energy. At the same time, another rack 7 slides downward due to the meshing of the gear 8, driving the lifting frame 10 to move downward along the mounting plate 101 until the storage box 11 and tableware are completely hidden inside the side wall of the lunch box 1. At this time, the user pushes the limiting piece 4 to the side, causing it to slide along the side wall of the lunch box 1 to the docking position at the end of the sealing lid 3. The rebound potential energy generated by the stretching of the first spring 5 is released, pushing the limiting piece 4 into the corresponding slot of the sealing lid 3, completing the limiting and fixing of the sealing lid 3, and realizing the closed storage of tableware.

[0034] When the user places the tableware into the placement box 11, the sidewall of the tableware contacts the elastic band 14 surrounding the placement box 11 and is pressed outward. The elastic band 14 is stretched and undergoes elastic deformation, simultaneously pushing the connected guide rod 12 to slide along the upright plate 1001. During the sliding process, the guide rod 12 compresses the third spring 13, allowing it to store elastic potential energy. At this time, the compressive force of the third spring 13 and the tensile force of the elastic band 14 work together to form a clamping force on the tableware, ensuring that the tableware is stable and does not wobble within the placement box 11. When the user removes the tableware, the rebound potential energy generated by the compression of the third spring 13 is released, pushing the guide rod 12 to slide in the opposite direction. The elastic band 14 then returns to its natural state, providing a fixed space for the next placement of tableware.

[0035] When cleaning lunchbox 1, the user first performs a preliminary cleaning of the inside of lunchbox 1, then removes the tableware placed inside box 11, and manually removes the rotator 18 at the bottom of lunchbox 1 and the dust plug 19 at the bottom of cleaning tube 15. The external water pipe is inserted into the inlet at the bottom of cleaning tube 15, and water sprays upwards along the internal channel of cleaning tube 15, directly rinsing away residue on the surface of mounting plate 101 and lifting frame 10. At this time, the user can insert the rotator 18 into the groove 20 at the bottom of cleaning tube 15 and rotate it, causing cleaning tube 15 to rotate around the side wall of lunchbox 1. The torsion spring 16 connected to cleaning tube 15 generates torsional potential energy due to rotation, adjusting the direction of water spray. Simultaneously, adjusting the control valve 17 at the lower end of cleaning tube 15 changes the cross-sectional area through which the water flows, thereby adjusting the spray speed or flow rate to achieve a comprehensive cleaning of the side wall structure of lunchbox 1. After cleaning, the user reinstalls the rotator 18 at the bottom of lunchbox 1, inserts the dust plug 19 back into the bottom of cleaning tube 15, and finally closes the lid 2, completing the overall cleaning process.
