[0020] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a plastic lunch box with a built-in cutlery storage slot includes a lunch box body 1, a lid 2, and a cutlery storage component 3. The lid 2 is installed on the upper side of the lunch box body 1, and a sealing ring corresponding to the shape of the lunch box body 1 is provided on the inner ring of the lid 2. Insertion slots 4 are evenly spaced on the inner side wall of the lunch box body 1, and the insertion slots 4 are arc-shaped slots. A partition plate 5 is installed inside the lunch box body 1, and protrusions 6 are integrally fixed at both ends of the partition plate 5, and the protrusions 6 match the size of the insertion slots 4. The lid 2 is matched with the lunch box body 1, and the lid 2 is provided with a vent hole and a sealing cap structure for plugging the vent hole. The protrusions 6 at both ends of the partition plate 5 match the size of the insertion slots 4, so the partition plate 5 can be inserted into the interior of the lunch box body 1, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. Thus, the internal cavity of the lunch box body 1 can be divided into multiple spaces according to the usage needs, and the insertion slots 4 are relatively wide arc-shaped slots for easy cleaning.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, anti-scalding and handling components 7 are installed on both the left and right sides of the outer side of the lunch box body 1. The anti-scalding and handling components 7 include a bearing 701, a hinge 702, and a side plate 703. The bearing 701 is fixedly connected to the lunch box body 1, and the side plate 703 is rotatably installed between the bearings 701 via the hinge 702. The front and rear sides of the lid 2 are rotatably installed with buckles 8, and the front and rear side walls of the lunch box body 1 are fixed with connecting blocks 9 that cooperate with the buckles 8. The buckles 8 and the connecting blocks 9 facilitate the fixing of the lid 2. The hinge 702 facilitates the rotation and unfolding of the side plates 703. When there is hot food inside the lunch box body 1, you can hold only the two side plates 703 on the side to avoid the lunch box body 1 getting hot. Conversely, when not in use, the side plates 703 can be rotated and stored in the side position of the lunch box body 1.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a cutlery storage assembly 3 is installed on the upper side of the lid 2. The cutlery storage assembly 3 includes a mounting frame plate 301, a sliding groove 302, a storage box 303, and a sliding strip 304.

[0023] In summary, as Figures 1-3 As shown, this plastic lunch box with built-in cutlery storage slots can be used by first inserting the divider 5 into the interior of the lunch box body 1, so that the protrusions 6 at both ends of the divider 5 align with the insertion slots 4. This allows the interior cavity of the lunch box body 1 to be divided into multiple spaces according to usage needs. Different cutlery can then be stored in the two storage boxes 303. When needed, the cutlery can be removed by rotating and opening the side cover 305. The sliding strips 304 on both sides of the storage box 303 connect with the sliding grooves 305. 2 is a sliding connection, so the storage box 303 can be easily slid and disassembled for cleaning and replacement. During use, when hot food is placed inside the main body 1 of the lunch box, the side panel 703 can be rotated and unfolded through the hinge 702. Then, only the two side panels 703 can be held by hand to avoid the lunch box body 1 being too hot. Conversely, when not in use, the side panels 703 can be rotated and stored on the side of the lunch box body 1. This completes the use of the plastic lunch box with built-in cutlery storage slot.
