[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this is a structural schematic diagram of the multi-partition plastic lunch box in this embodiment. The plastic lunch box divides its internal space into multiple sections, allowing different dishes to be placed in each section. The sections can also be connected to allow the broth from the dishes to be absorbed into the main dish. The plastic lunch box includes a main body 1 and a lid 2. The lid 2 is installed on the main body 1 and seals and covers the opening at the top of the main body 1. The main body 1 holds the dishes, and the lid 2 can slow down the loss of heat from the dishes by sealing the opening at the top of the main body 1. The main body 1 is equipped with a partitioning mechanism 3 that distinguishes the internal space of the main body 1.

[0024] As attached Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, this is a structural schematic diagram of the lunchbox lid 2 in this embodiment. The lunchbox lid 2 includes a mating top cover 21, a mating end 22, and a compression ring 23. The mating top cover 21 is positioned above the opening of the lunchbox body 1. The mating end 22, which is fitted onto the outer edge of the lunchbox body 1, is installed at the bottom edge of the mating top cover 21. The inner wall of the mating end 22 is equipped with a compression ring 23 to enhance the stability of the connection between the mating end 22 and the edge of the lunchbox body 1. In use, the mating top cover 21 is placed on top of the lunchbox body 1, and then the entire mating top cover 21 is pressed down, causing the edge of the mating end 22 to wrap around the outer edge of the lunchbox body 1. At this time, the compression ring 23 on the inner wall of the mating end 22 can enhance the stability of the mating top cover 21 when it is mated with the lunchbox body 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the food inside the lunchbox body 1 is too hot and the lunchbox body 1 itself cannot stably block the heat, the lunchbox lid 2 is removed from the top opening of the lunchbox body 1, and then the angle of the mating top cover 21 is flipped so that the mating top cover 21 fits against the bottom of the lunchbox body 1, so that the bottom of the lunchbox body 1 enters into the mating top cover 21, and the edge of the mating end 22 fits against the lower edge of the lunchbox body 1, so that the lunchbox lid 2 as a whole has a heat insulation effect, making it easy for the user to pick up the entire lunchbox body 1.

[0026] As attached Figure 3 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the partitioning mechanism 3 in this embodiment. The partitioning mechanism 3 includes a partition column 31, a partition component 32, and a positioning block 33. The partition column 31 is installed inside the lunch box body 1. The partition column 31 has equidistant mounting slots. The partition component 32 is slidably installed in the mounting slots. The partition component 32 divides the internal space of the lunch box body 1. The positioning block 33 is equidistantly installed on the inner wall surface of the lunch box body 1 and on the side of the mounting slot. The positioning block 33 is connected to the bottom end of the partition component 32 to assist in locking the overall position of the partition component 32. When the partition component 32 is installed inside the lunch box body 1, it divides the internal space of the lunch box body 1. There are multiple sets of mounting slots. When in use, the internal space of the lunch box body 1 can be reasonably divided according to the size of the food, ensuring the quality of use of the plastic lunch box and the stability when it is filled.

[0027] As attached Figure 4As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the dividing component 32 in this embodiment. The dividing component 32 includes a dividing frame 321, a baffle plate 322, and a mounting post 323. The dividing frame 321 is equidistantly arranged inside the main body 1 of the lunch box. The baffle plate 322 is slidably installed on the dividing frame 321 and inserted into the dividing frame 321. The mounting post 323 is installed at the edge of the dividing frame 321 and slides into the mounting groove. The bottom end of the dividing frame 321 is provided with a docking groove for docking with the positioning block 33. In use, by pulling the baffle plate 322, the baffle plate 322 can be pulled out from the dividing frame 321, which facilitates the mixing of dishes or staple food located on both sides of the baffle plate 322. When it is necessary to mix the soup, the dividing frame 321 can be directly pulled out from the main body 1 of the lunch box to release the dividing component 32 from the plastic lunch box, allowing the soup and staple food to be fully mixed, thus ensuring the working quality of the plastic lunch box during use.
