Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food containers, and in particular to a modular food container. Background Technology

[0002] Disposable lunch boxes are a type of packaging material widely used in the catering industry. They are mainly used to hold food and make it convenient for consumers to use when dining out or receiving takeout. Disposable lunch boxes are usually lightweight and easy to carry, making them suitable for use in various scenarios, such as takeout delivery, picnics, and travel. Because they are for single use, they avoid the hygiene problems that may occur during reuse and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

[0003] A common problem with existing disposable food container designs is that food tends to move during transportation, especially when the container is not full. Food may shake inside the container, causing different types of food to mix together, affecting the appearance and taste of the food.

[0004] To address these issues, some improved lunchbox designs have emerged on the market. For example, some lunchboxes use dividers to prevent food from mixing, and then use a lid to cover the lunchbox to reduce food mixing. However, when the amount of food is small, the lid cannot fully contact the dividers or food, resulting in the food still not being effectively secured. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the problem that some lunch boxes mentioned in the background art prevent food from mixing by adding dividers and then using a lid to cover the lunch box to reduce food mixing. However, when the amount of food is small, the lid cannot fully contact the dividers or food, resulting in the food still not being effectively secured. This application provides a divided lunch box.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution: A compartmentalized lunch box includes an upper lunch box, a lower lunch box on one side of the upper lunch box, lunch box edges fixed on both the upper and lower lunch boxes, the two lunch box edges being rotatably connected, an abutment mechanism provided inside the upper lunch box, a reinforcement mechanism provided between the lunch box edges of the upper and lower lunch boxes, and a divider plate fixed inside the lower lunch box.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the upper food container is closed, the contact mechanism inside the upper food container contacts the food inside the lower food container. After the upper and lower food containers are closed together, the fixing mechanism is used to fix the edge of the upper food container to the edge of the lower food container, thereby reducing the possibility of the food inside the food container moving and mixing when the food containers are moved and transported.

[0008] Furthermore, the abutment mechanism includes an abutment plate disposed inside the upper food container, a corrugated plate fixed between the abutment plate and the upper food container, and an abutment sponge disposed between the abutment plate and the upper food container, wherein the abutment sponge is fixedly connected to both the abutment plate and the upper food container.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the food in the lower lunch box is supported by the anti-friction sponge and corrugated board, thus reducing the possibility of food moving and mixing when the lower lunch box contains less food.

[0010] Furthermore, the contact plate has two symmetrical connecting holes.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the contact plate squeezes the contact sponge and corrugated plate, the air between the contact plate and the upper food container is allowed to be discharged through the connecting hole, thereby reducing the possibility of air resistance when the contact plate is squeezed.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the contact plate away from the contact sponge is fixed with evenly distributed anti-slip textures.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the contact plate contacts the food in the lower food container, the anti-slip texture contacts the block-shaped food, thereby further reducing the possibility of food movement.

[0014] Furthermore, the reinforcement mechanism includes a fixing block fixed to the side of the lower lunch box, the fixing block having a fixing hole, a fixing plate one fixed to the side of the upper lunch box, a fixing plate two rotatably connected to the fixing plate one, and a buckle assembly provided between the fixing plate one and the fixing plate two.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the second fixing plate on the side of the upper food container passes through the fixing hole on the side of the lower food container, and then the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are fixed together, thereby improving the connection stability between the upper and lower food containers and reducing the possibility of the upper and lower food containers separating during movement.

[0016] Furthermore, the buckle assembly includes a buckle block fixed on the second fixing plate, a buckle head fixed on the buckle block, and a buckle hole corresponding to the buckle head on the first fixing plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the buckle block on the second fixing plate drives the buckle head to be inserted into the buckle hole on the first fixing plate, thereby making it easy to fix the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate together.

[0018] Furthermore, a sealing strip is fixed around the edge of the upper lunch box, the sealing strip being in the shape of a round bar, and a sealing groove is formed around the edge of the lower lunch box, the sealing groove corresponding to the sealing strip.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, pressing along the edges of the two lunch boxes allows the sealing strip to be inserted into the sealing groove, causing the edges of the two lunch boxes to abut and be fixed together, thereby reducing the possibility of food leaking out between the upper and lower lunch boxes.

[0020] Furthermore, the edge of the sealing groove is set to be arc-shaped.

[0021] By employing the above-mentioned technology, when the sealing strip is squeezed into the sealing groove, the sealing strip abuts against the arc-shaped edge, making it easier to insert the sealing strip into the sealing groove.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects; 1. In this application, after the food is placed into the lower food container, the upper food container is placed on top of the lower food container. During this process, the contact plate on the upper food container abuts against the food. After the upper food container is completely in contact with the lower food container, the contact plate, supported by the contact sponge and limited by the corrugated plate, allows the contact plate to abut against the food in the lower food container. The anti-slip texture on the contact plate further limits some blocky food items. This achieves the purpose of reducing the possibility of food moving and mixing in the food container when the lower food container contains a small amount of food.

[0023] 2. This application, by placing the upper lunchbox on top of the lower lunchbox, with the edges of the upper and lower lunchboxes abutting together, then allowing the second fixing plate to pass through the fixing hole on the fixing block, and then bringing the first and second fixing plates together, allowing the buckle block on the second fixing plate to drive the buckle head into the buckle hole, under the action of the buckle head, the first and second fixing plates pass through the fixing hole and are fixed together, making it difficult for the edges of the upper and lower lunchboxes to separate. Then, pressing along the edges of the two lunchboxes allows the sealing strip to be inserted into the sealing groove, making the two edges of the lunchboxes abut and fixed together, sealing the lunchboxes, thereby improving the connection firmness between the upper and lower lunchboxes, reducing the possibility of the upper and lower lunchboxes separating during the movement of the lunchboxes, and also reducing the possibility of food leaking from the gaps in the lunchboxes.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —4 provides further detailed description of this application.

[0027] This application discloses a modular lunchbox.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A type of compartmentalized lunch box includes an upper lunch box 1, a lower lunch box 2 on one side of the upper lunch box 1, lunch box edges 3 fixed on both the upper lunch box 1 and the lower lunch box 2, the two lunch box edges 3 being rotatably connected, an abutment mechanism 4 being provided inside the upper lunch box 1, a reinforcing mechanism 5 being provided between the lunch box edges 3 of the upper lunch box 1 and the lower lunch box 2, and a divider 6 being fixed inside the lower lunch box 2.

[0029] When using this lunchbox, first open the upper lunchbox 1 and the lower lunchbox 2, then fill the lower lunchbox 2 with the corresponding food. The food in the lower lunchbox 2 is neatly separated by the divider 6. Then close the upper lunchbox 1. The abutting mechanism 4 inside the upper lunchbox 1 abuts against the food in the lower lunchbox 2. After the upper lunchbox 1 and the lower lunchbox 2 are closed, the fixing mechanism secures the sides 3 of the upper lunchbox 1 and the lower lunchbox 2 together, completing the food packaging. When moving the lunchbox, the abutting component inside the upper lunchbox 1 abuts against the food. The compression limiting mechanism reduces food movement. The reinforced mechanism firmly fixes the upper food container 1 and the lower food container 2 together, reducing the possibility of separation between them during movement. It also reduces the possibility of food passing between the upper food container 1 and the lower food container 2. By setting an abutment mechanism 4 in the upper food container 1, the abutment component in the upper food container 1 limits the food when the lower food container 2 is not full. This reduces the possibility of food moving and mixing during the transportation of the food containers.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The contact mechanism 4 includes a contact plate 41 disposed inside the upper food container 1. A corrugated plate 43 is fixed between the contact plate 41 and the upper food container 1. A contact sponge 42 is disposed between the contact plate 41 and the upper food container 1. The contact sponge 42 is fixedly connected to both the contact plate 41 and the upper food container 1.

[0031] In addition, two symmetrical connecting holes 44 are provided on the contact plate 41.

[0032] Furthermore, the side of the contact plate 41 away from the contact sponge 42 is fixed with evenly distributed anti-slip textures 45.

[0033] After the food is placed into the lower food container 2, the upper food container 1 is placed over the lower food container 2. During this process, the contact plate 41 on the upper food container 1 contacts the food. After the upper food container 1 is completely in contact with the lower food container 2, the contact plate 41, supported by the contact sponge 42 and limited by the corrugated plate 43, keeps the contact plate 41 in contact with the food in the lower food container 2. The anti-slip texture 45 on the contact plate 41 further limits some blocky food items. By setting the contact plate 41 in the upper food container 1, and then allowing the contact plate 41 to contact the food with the support of the contact sponge 42 and the corrugated plate 43, the possibility of the food in the lower food container moving and mixing during the transportation of the food container can be reduced when there is less food in the lower food container 2.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The reinforcing mechanism 5 includes a fixing block 51 fixed on the side 3 of the lower lunch box 2, a fixing hole 52 is provided on the fixing block 51, a fixing plate 53 is fixed on the side 3 of the upper lunch box 1, a fixing plate 54 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 53, and a buckle assembly 55 is provided between the fixing plate 53 and the fixing plate 54.

[0035] In addition, the buckle assembly 55 includes a buckle block 551 fixed on the second fixing plate 54, a buckle head 552 fixed on the buckle block 551, and a buckle hole 553 corresponding to the buckle head 552 is opened on the first fixing plate 53.

[0036] Furthermore, a sealing strip 56 is fixed on the edge 3 of the upper lunch box 1. The sealing strip 56 is in the shape of a round bar. A sealing groove 57 is opened on the edge 3 of the lower lunch box 2. The sealing groove 57 corresponds to the sealing strip 56.

[0037] Furthermore, the edge of the sealing groove 57 is set to be arc-shaped.

[0038] After placing the upper lunchbox 1 on top of the lower lunchbox 2, the edges 3 of the upper lunchbox 1 and the lower lunchbox 2 abut together. Then, the second fixing plate 54 passes through the fixing hole 52 on the fixing block 51. Next, the first fixing plate 53 and the second fixing plate 54 are brought together, and the latching block 551 on the second fixing plate 54 drives the latching head 552 to insert into the latching hole 553. Under the action of the latching head 552, the first fixing plate 53 and the second fixing plate 54 pass through the fixing hole 52 and are fixed together, making it difficult for the edges 3 of the upper lunchbox 1 and the lower lunchbox 2 to separate. Then press along the two sides 3 of the lunch box to make the sealing strip 56 snap into the sealing groove 57, so that the two sides 3 of the lunch box are pressed together to seal the lunch box. By letting the fixing plate 2 54 pass through the fixing hole 52, and then fixing the fixing plate 1 53 and the fixing plate 2 54 together, the two sides 3 of the lunch box are fixed by the sealing strip 56 and the sealing groove 57, which can improve the connection between the upper lunch box 1 and the lower lunch box 2, reduce the possibility of the upper lunch box 1 and the lower lunch box 2 separating during the movement of the lunch box, and reduce the possibility of food leaking out from the gaps in the lunch box.

[0039] Working principle: When using this lunchbox, first open the upper lunchbox 1 and the lower lunchbox 2, then fill the lower lunchbox 2 with the corresponding food. The food in the lower lunchbox 2 is orderly separated by the divider 6. Then close the upper lunchbox 1. The contact plate 41 on the upper lunchbox 1 abuts against the food. After the upper lunchbox 1 is completely in contact with the lower lunchbox 2, the contact plate 41, supported by the contact sponge 42 and limited by the corrugated plate 43, abuts against the food in the lower lunchbox 2. The anti-slip texture 45 on the contact plate 41 further limits some blocky food. Then, the fixing plate 2 54 moves away from the lower lunchbox 2. The fixing hole 52 on the fixing block 51 is passed through, and then the fixing plate 1 53 and the fixing plate 2 54 are put together. The buckle block 551 on the fixing plate 2 54 drives the buckle head 552 to be inserted into the buckle hole 553. Under the action of the buckle head 552, the fixing plate 1 53 and the fixing plate 2 54 pass through the fixing hole 52 and are fixed together, so that the lunch box edge 3 of the upper lunch box 1 and the lunch box edge 3 of the lower lunch box 2 are not easily separated. Then, press along the two lunch box edges 3 to make the sealing strip 56 snap into the sealing groove 57, so that the two lunch box edges 3 abut and are fixed together. Then move the lunch box.
