In order to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention, the following specific embodiments are used in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to make a detailed description of the present invention, which will be described later:

Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a combined vessel 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7. First referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the combined vessel 1 includes two vessel units 2 and a combined vessel lock 3. In Embodiment 1, each of the vessel units 2 is a semi-circular baking pan (but each of the vessel units 2 is not limited to a semi-circular baking pan). Each of the vessel units 2 includes a bottom wall 21 and a first circumference. The wall 22, a second peripheral wall 23 and a joint portion 24. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the second peripheral wall 23 and the first peripheral wall 22 surround the bottom wall 21 together. An outer wall surface of the second peripheral wall 23 has a longitudinal groove 231, and one end of the longitudinal groove 231 is continuous. On the upper surface of the outer wall surface of the second peripheral wall 23, the longitudinal groove 231 is narrow and wide. The joint portion 24 is disposed on an outer wall surface of the second peripheral wall 23.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the combined container lock 3 includes an operation portion 31, a connection portion 32, and a locking portion 33. The operation portion 31 is a plate body provided horizontally. The connection portion 32 is a cylinder disposed perpendicular to the operation portion 31. The connection portion 32 has a first end 321 and a second end 322. The first end 321 of the connection portion 32 is connected to the operation portion 31. At the center, the locking portion 33 is a horizontally arranged body. The second end 322 of the connecting portion 32 is connected to the center of the locking portion 33. The length extension direction of the locking portion 33 is different. With respect to the length extension direction of the operation portion 31, in this embodiment 1, the angle difference between the length extension direction of the locking portion 33 and the length extension direction of the operation portion 31 is 90 degrees (but the above-mentioned angle difference is not Limited to 90 degrees).

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when the joint portions 24 of each of the vessel units 2 are correspondingly coupled to each other, the second peripheral wall 23 of each of the vessel units 2 abuts against each other, and the longitudinal grooves 231 of each of the vessel units 2 are jointly formed.一 锁 固 容 室 25. The locking container chamber 25 defines an upper container chamber 251 and a lower container chamber 252. The upper container chamber 251 is used to receive the connecting portion 32 of the combined container lock 3, and the connecting portion 32 can be located in the upper container chamber 251. Rotating inside, the lower chamber 252 is used for accommodating the locking portion 33, and the lower chamber 252 can be used to rotate the locking portion 33 in the lower chamber 252.

FIG. 5 shows the operation mode of the combination of the combined container lock 3 and the two container units 2 when the user inserts the locking portion 33 and the connecting portion 32 of the combined container lock 3 into the locking container 25. And the locking portion 33 is first entered into the upper chamber 251 and then further into the lower chamber 252. The length extension direction of the operation portion 31 of the combined vessel lock 3 is perpendicular to the second peripheral wall 23 of each vessel unit 2. . When the user further pushes the combined container lock 3 by 90 degrees, so that the length extension direction of the operation portion 31 is consistent with the length extension direction of the second peripheral wall 23 of each of the container units 2, at this time, the lock portion 33 also Rotate 90 degrees with the rotation of the operation portion 31, so that the direction of the locking portion 33 in the lower receiving chamber 252 deviates from the direction when the locking portion 33 enters the upper receiving chamber 251, and the locking portion 33 is disengaged from the The lower chamber 252 is blocked by the second peripheral wall 23 forming the lower chamber 252. At the same time, the two vessel units 2 are also locked by the operation portion 31 and the locking portion 33 of the combined vessel lock 3 It is not possible to move up and down relative to each other, so that the combined vessel locking member 3 locks and combines the two vessel units 2 together. In this way, when the user holds the combined vessel 1 at the use end, the two vessel units 2 will not be separated due to sliding up and down relative to each other, the combined vessel lock 3 and the combined vessel 1 with the combined vessel lock 3 With the above structure, the user can strengthen the bonding firmness between the two vessel units 2 when holding the combined vessel 1 at the use end.

Referring again to FIGS. 2 and 4, the combined container lock 3 further includes two projections 34, each of which is disposed on each end portion 311, 312 of the operation portion 31. When a user holds the combined container 1 at the end, The two projections 34 of the combined container lock 3 can provide the function of allowing the user's thumb to abut. In addition, when the user pushes the combined vessel lock 3, the two projections 34 can serve as a force application point for the user to push the combined vessel lock 3.

In this embodiment, the angle difference between the length extension direction of the locking portion 33 of the combined container lock 3 and the length extension direction of the operation portion 31 is 90 degrees, but in other embodiments, the angle difference between the two is also It can be 30 degrees, 60 degrees, or other angles, as long as the two vessel units 2 are subject to the upper and lower clamping of the operation portion 31 and the locking portion 33 of the combined vessel lock 3.

Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, an upper cover 26 may be provided on each of the vessel units 2 so that the food placed in each of the vessel units 2 can be fully heated.

In this embodiment, the coupling portion 24 of each of the vessel units 2 is two magnetic elements 241, 242. Two of the magnetic elements 241, 242 of one vessel unit 2 and the two magnetic elements 241, 242 of the other vessel unit 2 are respectively. The two correspond to each other and have opposite magnetic properties. Each of the vessel units 2 is magnetically combined by the joint portion 24 of each other, but the joint portion 24 of each vessel unit 2 may be only one magnetic element or two or more magnetic elements. . In another embodiment, the joint portion 24 of one of the vessel units 2 may be a fitting seat (not shown), the fitting seat is integrally formed with the second peripheral wall 23, and the fitting seat has a fitting The joint portion 24 of the other vessel unit 2 is a fitting block (not shown in the figure). The fitting block is protruded on the outer wall surface of the second peripheral wall 23, and the fitting block is corresponding to the corresponding fitting groove. The systems correspond to each other, but each of the vessel units 2 can also be designed to have a fitting groove and a fitting block at the same time. In other embodiments, the coupling portion 24 of each of the vessel units 2 can also be designed into other coupling structures without being limited to this embodiment.
