Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food packaging boxes, specifically to a packaging box for ready-to-eat foods. Background Technology

[0002] Ready-to-eat food packaging boxes are widely used in takeout and fast food products, and they need to balance food sealing and preservation, portability, and ease of consumption. In existing technologies, packaging boxes typically consist of a box body and a lid, with some products including individually packaged disposable tableware. However, this design has significant drawbacks: tableware (such as chopsticks) is usually individually packaged inside the box or in an outer bag, requiring users to unpack multiple layers of packaging to retrieve it, which is cumbersome and prone to loss; food generates steam pressure during microwave or self-heating processes, but traditional packaging lacks rapid pressure relief channels, making it susceptible to sudden increases in internal pressure that can cause the box to expand or even burst, posing a safety hazard; and open vents can easily lead to contamination inside the packaging.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a ready-to-eat food packaging box that integrates tableware storage, safe pressure relief, and high sealing performance to improve ease of use and safety. Utility Model Content

For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; "connection" can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 8 This utility model discloses a packaging box for ready-to-eat food, comprising: a box body 1 and a box lid 2 detachably covering the opening of the box body 1. The box lid 2 is provided with a cutlery receiving cavity 5 and a tear-off air vent 3. Cutlery is disposed in the cutlery receiving cavity 5. The tableware receiving cavity 5 is opened on the outer surface of the box lid 2 and is provided with a fixing structure to fix the tableware; The tear-off vent 3 includes a first easy-tear tab 31, and the lid 2 is machined with an annular easy-tear line to form the first easy-tear tab 31.

[0022] The tableware contained in the tableware receiving cavity 5 eliminates the need for users to search for tableware separately. At the same time, the tableware is placed on the outer surface of the packaging, so users do not need to open the packaging to find the tableware, making it convenient for users to take it out. The tableware is fixed in the tableware receiving cavity 5 by a fixing structure, which can prevent the tableware from falling off or being lost during transportation or use.

[0023] When using microwave heating, users can adjust the air pressure inside the packaging by opening the tear-off vent 3 to avoid safety issues caused by the evaporation of moisture inside the food causing the pressure inside the packaging to exceed the external air pressure.

[0024] Preferably, the tear-off vent 3 further includes a pull ring 32 connected to the first easy-tear tab 31, and the pull ring 32 is disposed on the outer surface of the box cover 2.

[0025] The pull ring 32 serves as an external point of force, significantly reducing tearing resistance. Users can quickly open the tear-type air vent 3 with one hand without having to find tools or painstakingly pry off the first easy-tear piece 31.

[0026] Preferably, the tear-off air vent 3 further includes a sealing cap 33 disposed on the inner surface of the box cover 2, the sealing cap 33 covering the annular area of ​​the first easy-tear piece 31.

[0027] The sealing cap 33 independently covers the area of ​​the first easy-tear tab 31, preventing gas / liquid from seeping into the packaging through the micro-gap of the easy-tear line, thus avoiding food from getting damp or contaminated and improving food safety.

[0028] Preferably, the sealing cover 33 is provided with a second easy-tear tab 34, and the sealing cover 33 is machined with an indentation line corresponding to the first easy-tear tab 31.

[0029] The first easy-tear tab 31 is located on the outer side of the box cover 2, which may cause the first easy-tear tab 31 to fall off during transportation and when the goods are displayed on the shelf. Therefore, a second easy-tear tab 34 is provided on the sealing cover 33. When using the product, the user can use the tableware or other items provided on the packaging to poke or tear the second easy-tear tab 34 to open the tear-type air vent 3.

[0030] Preferably, the sealing cap 33 is a plastic film.

[0031] Plastic film can be quickly laminated using automated equipment without the need for complex molds. It also features low raw material costs and controllable thickness, balancing the needs for lightweighting and cost reduction. Users can easily open the plastic film with their fingers.

[0032] Preferably, the tableware is disposable chopsticks 4.

[0033] Preferably, a pair of locking protrusions 51 protrude from the cavity wall of the tableware receiving cavity 5 to form the fixing structure to fix the disposable chopsticks 4.

[0034] Disposable chopsticks 4 have the characteristics of low cost and no need to be cleaned, and are isolated from food through an independent containing cavity to avoid contamination and meet the hygiene requirements of ready-to-eat packaging.

[0035] The locking protrusion 51 physically locks the chopsticks from both sides, resisting transportation vibrations or inverted impacts and preventing the chopsticks from coming out of the cavity. Users can pull out the chopsticks with a little force. The elastic deformation of the locking protrusion 51 allows for repeated picking and putting without damaging the structure.

[0036] Preferably, it also includes a sealing film 6, which is sealed at the opening of the box body 1 to seal the box body 1.

[0037] The sealing film 6 is directly sealed to the opening plane of the box body 1 by heat sealing or pressing process, forming a physical barrier layer located below the box lid 2. The setting of the sealing film 6 can significantly extend the shelf life of food.

[0038] Preferably, the edge of the lid 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​edge 7, which matches the edge of the box body 1 to seal the box body 1.

[0039] A continuous snap-fit ​​edge 7 is added to the edge of the lid 2. Through elastic deformation, it fits tightly with the edge of the box body 1 to form a mechanical locking seal. The mechanical engagement of the snap-fit ​​edge 7 provides continuous clamping force to resist the loosening of the lid 2 caused by transportation vibration or temperature changes, prevent seal failure, and ensure the reliability of the seal throughout the process.
