[0017] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0018] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a modular ceramic tableware is provided.

[0019] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, a modular ceramic tableware according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a tray 1 and a placement groove 12. Several sets of placement grooves 12 are formed on the surface of the tray 1. Several sets of water storage chambers 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the placement grooves 12 inside the tray 1. Outer tableware 11 is slidably connected inside the placement grooves 12, and several sets of inner tableware 8 are slidably connected inside the outer tableware 11. A water inlet is formed on one side of the water storage chamber 7 at the top of the surface of the tray 1, and a drain outlet is formed at the bottom of the water storage chamber 7 at the bottom surface of the tray 1. A water inlet plug 3 and a drain plug 5 are respectively installed at the water inlet and drain outlet. The tray 1 is a rectangular ceramic plate, serving as the core base of the tableware set. Several sets of placement slots 12 are evenly spaced along its length on its surface. Each slot 12 is a rectangular groove adapted to the size of the outer tableware 11. The inner wall of the slot 12 is rounded to prevent sharp edges from scratching the outer tableware 11. The depth of the slot is level with the height of the outer tableware 11, ensuring that the gripping ring 9 is exposed after the tableware is placed inside for easy retrieval. The outer tableware 11 has an open structure, allowing several sets of inner tableware 8 to slide and nest inside along its depth. The outer diameter of the inner tableware 8 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the outer tableware 11, ensuring easy placement of the inner tableware 8 while preventing collisions caused by shaking. The height of the inner tableware 8 is... The outer cutlery 11 is of the same height, ensuring that the gripping ring 9 on the top of the inner cutlery 8 can be exposed after nesting, making it easy to take out separately; the size gradient between the outer cutlery 11 and the inner cutlery 8 forms a design with the outer part being larger and the inner part being smaller, realizing a "layer nested" storage combination: when not in use, the inner cutlery 8 can be completely nested into the outer cutlery 11, and the outer cutlery 11 is then placed in the tray 1 placement slot 12, with the overall volume being only 1 / 3 of that when placed alone, saving 60% of storage space; when in use, it can be taken out as needed, realizing a flexible combination of "one base and multiple utensils"; multi-scenario combination, supporting 3 basic usage modes: (1) Individual use: outer cutlery 11 for soup, inner cutlery 8. Small dishes are placed in tray 1, and staple food is placed in tray 1; (2) Nested combination: inner tableware 8 is placed in outer tableware 11, and different foods are loaded at the same time to reduce table space occupation; (3) Tray 1 combination: outer tableware 11 and inner tableware 8 are both placed in tray 1 and transported to the dining table in a concentrated manner, which is suitable for family gatherings or picnics, and can meet different daily dietary needs, solving the pain points of traditional tableware being "single in function and messy in placement"; The silicone material of water inlet plug 3 and drain plug 5 is elastic, and can fit tightly against the hole wall after being inserted into the water inlet / drain outlet, so that there is no leakage after hot water is injected; when draining, the drain plug 5 is pulled out, and the hot water in the cavity can be completely drained to avoid water accumulation and bacterial growth.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, gripping rings 9 are installed on both sides of the top of the outer cutlery 11 and the inner cutlery 8. The top sides of the outer cutlery 11 and the inner cutlery 8 are integrally formed. The gripping rings 9 are U-shaped ceramic protrusions and are fired integrally with the cutlery. The gripping rings 9 are positioned higher than the edge of the cutlery, so that even if the cutlery is full of hot food, fingers can still pick it up through the gripping rings 9, avoiding direct contact with the outer wall of the cutlery and causing burns. After the inner cutlery 8 is nested into the outer cutlery 11, the gripping rings 9 are still higher than the edge of the outer cutlery 11, ensuring that the inner cutlery 8 can be removed separately. The height design of the gripping rings 9 of the inner cutlery 8 ensures that it can still be exposed after being nested, solving the pain point of "not being able to take out" traditional nested cutlery. The gripping rings 9 of the outer cutlery 11 are matched with the depth of the tray 1 placement slot 12, making it easy to remove the outer cutlery 11 separately from the placement slot 12.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, handles 6 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the tray 1. The handles 6 are symmetrically distributed, allowing a single person to grasp and move the assembled tableware with both hands, making it convenient to use in different positions.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, several sets of limiting grooves 10 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the inner surface of the placement groove 12. The limiting grooves 10 are rectangular grooves that form a "convex-concave" fit with the limiting blocks 4 installed on the corresponding sides of the outer tableware 11. The limiting blocks 4 are integrally formed with the outer tableware 11 or are bonded and fixed with ceramic glue. After being inserted into the limiting grooves 10, the outer tableware 11 is ensured to have no lateral shaking in the placement groove 12, and the whole is stable after assembly.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, several sets of limiting blocks 4 are installed on the two sides of the outer tableware 11. When the outer tableware 11 is placed into the placement slot 12, the limiting blocks 4 on both sides are precisely embedded into the corresponding limiting slots 10 to form "two-way positioning": it not only restricts the sliding of the outer tableware 11 along the surface of the tray 1, but also prevents the tableware from tipping over during transportation, which is especially suitable for loading liquid foods such as soup.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a drainage groove 2 is provided at the bottom of the tray 1 on the outer periphery of the drainage plug 5. The drainage groove 2 is designed to facilitate the operation of the drainage plug 5 by personnel and facilitate subsequent drainage.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the water storage chamber 7 has an internal cavity. The tray 1 has symmetrically arranged water storage chambers 7 on both sides of each set of placement slots 12. The water storage chamber 7 is a sealed, one-piece ceramic cavity, separated from the placement slot 12 only by a ceramic wall. It can keep the tableware in the placement slot 12 warm through heat conduction from the hot water. The top of the water storage chamber 7 has a circular inlet, fitted with a silicone plug 3 that fits the inlet with an interference fit. The bottom has a drain outlet with the same diameter as the inlet, fitted with a silicone plug 5 of the same material. The inlet plug 3 and drain plug 5... The surface has anti-slip textures for easy operation, and the silicone material is resistant to high and low temperatures, making it suitable for long-term use. The water storage chamber 7 is adjacent to the placement slot 12. After hot water is injected, the heat is evenly conducted through the ceramic wall to the outer tableware 11 in the placement slot 12, which can keep the food in the tableware warm, especially suitable for winter or long-term dining scenarios. The hot water insulation design of the water storage chamber 7 extends the time that the food temperature is maintained, avoiding the impact on the taste due to the temperature dropping too quickly, such as soups getting cold or porridge clumping. It is especially suitable for family gatherings, outdoor picnics, and other scenarios where food needs to be kept for a long time.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the depth of the drainage groove 2 is greater than the thickness of the drainage plug 5 when inserted. The depth of the drainage groove 2 is designed to avoid the drainage plug 5 protruding after installation due to insufficient depth, causing unevenness on the bottom surface of the tray 1 and ensuring overall stability. Individual use mode: When a small amount of food needs to be portioned, simply remove the inner cutlery 8 to hold side dishes / sauces, the outer cutlery 11 to hold soup / staple food, and the tray 1 to hold staple food / fruit. Each component functions independently, suitable for single-person dining or simple meal needs. Nested combination mode: When dining with multiple people, nest the inner cutlery 8 inside the outer cutlery 11, placing side dishes inside and main dishes outside. Then place the outer cutlery 11 into the placement groove 12 of the tray 1. The limiting block 4 is embedded in the limiting groove 10 for fixation. The tray 1 can be moved to the table using the handles 6 on both sides, reducing the number of trips and keeping the table neatly arranged, thus reducing space usage. Constant temperature insulation mode: In winter, remove the water-filling plug 3 from the tray 1, inject hot water into the water storage chamber 7, and then tighten the water-filling plug 3. The outer cutlery 11 in the placement groove 12 absorbs heat through the ceramic wall, maintaining the food temperature. Temperature; After use, pull out the drain plug 5, and hot water will flow out from the drain outlet; Storage mode: When not in use, the inner tableware 8 is nested inside the outer tableware 11, and the outer tableware 11 is placed in the tray 1 placement slot 12, and the whole set is stacked for storage. The volume is only 1 / 3 of that of individual placement, saving cabinet space; Multifunctional: Supports 4 modes of "individual use, nested combination, constant temperature insulation, and storage", suitable for various dining scenarios such as single meals, family gatherings, and outdoor picnics, replacing the traditional multi-piece set of "bowl + plate + insulated box"; Highly practical: The water storage chamber 7 insulates the food and solves the problem of food cooling down quickly. The grip ring 9 prevents scalding and improves the safety of use. The handle 6 reduces labor intensity when carrying. The limiting structure ensures the stability of the combination. The all-ceramic material is easy to clean and meets the convenience needs of daily use; Good combination effect: The precise cooperation between the limiting block 4 and the limiting slot 10 ensures that there is no shaking or offset after combination. The nested structure achieves "large capacity in small space". The insulation and leak-proof design takes into account both functionality and cleanliness. The whole set meets the core needs of "aesthetics + practicality" for ceramic tableware.

[0027] Working Principle: In actual use, personnel can choose to use either the outer tableware 11 or the inner tableware 8 individually according to different needs, thereby meeting different food placement requirements. Multiple inner tableware 8 can also be placed inside the outer tableware 11 for simultaneous movement and use, reducing the labor intensity of personnel. In addition to food loading needs, tableware can also be placed in the placement slots 12 on the tray 1 for centralized placement and movement. Both sides of the placement slots 12 are equipped with water storage chambers 7. The water inlets of the water storage chambers 7 can be exposed by pulling out the water plugs 3 on the top side, allowing personnel to fill the water storage chambers 7 with hot water to heat the surrounding tableware, ensuring stable food temperature inside the tableware and preventing rapid temperature drops that could affect the taste, thus facilitating better use. Furthermore, when the outer tableware 11 is moved, the cooperation of the limiting blocks 4 on both sides and the limiting slots 10 prevents the tableware from moving arbitrarily, reducing the occurrence of bumps and damage, ensuring the integrity of the tableware, and improving the overall combined use effect. The device as a whole has the advantages of diverse functions, strong practicality, and good combined effect.
