Description

Heatable container with vent

The invention relates to a container, especially a heatable container with an exhaust groove.

At present, most of the various packaging containers used in supermarkets, food sales departments and restaurants on the market are made of plastic or paper. Among them, plastic containers are easier to make a variety of container appearances, such as transparent or matte boxes, cups or bowls, which are quite versatile.

However, the boxed foods sold in supermarkets and stores must be heated by microwaves before they can be eaten. However, before the boxed food is heated by microwaves, the boxed packaging must be torn open so that the air in the box can flow out during heating, otherwise the boxed food will be deformed, and what is more, it will be broken.

The invention provides a heatable container with an exhaust groove, which mainly includes a box body and a cover body. The box body includes a body part, a first side wall part, a second side wall part, an exhaust groove and a box fastening part; the first side wall part includes a first side wall surface and a first top surface, and the first side wall surface connects the body part and the first The top surface; the second side wall part includes the second side wall surface and the second top surface, and the second side wall surface connects the first top surface and the second top surface; the box engaging part is recessed in the second side wall part; the exhaust groove One part is located on the first top surface, and extends towards the direction of the second side wall surface so that the other part is located on the second side wall surface, and communicates the inner space of the main body with the space outside the second side wall surface through the exhaust groove. The cover body includes a cover body, a cover side wall and a cover fastening part; the inner side wall of the cover is connected to the cover body; the bottom of the cover edge is connected to the inner side wall; The outer wall of the cover is connected to the bottom of the lid edge and is parallel to the inner wall of the cover; and the engaging part of the cover is located on the outer wall of the cover. The bottom is located on the first top surface; wherein, the air between the cover and the box is heated and expanded, and the gas flows along the exhaust groove on the first top surface to the exhaust groove on the second side wall, pushing the engaging part A gap is formed between the box and the wall of the exhaust groove, and the gas flows out of the exhaust groove along the gap to be deflated.

Therefore, when the heatable container with venting grooves of the present invention is heated, the heated and expanded gas can be vented through the venting grooves, so the heatable container with venting grooves will not be deformed when heated. Furthermore, after the box fastening part and the lid fastening part are fastened together, they cannot restore the fastened state after separation, which can provide the user with identifying whether the container has been opened. Therefore, the user can easily judge whether the container has been opened from the appearance, which can not only avoid problems such as mistaken purchase and ingestion, but also reduce consumer disputes.

The detailed features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail below in the embodiments, the content of which is sufficient to enable anyone familiar with the relevant art to understand the technical content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and according to the content disclosed in this specification, the scope of the patent application and the drawings Any person skilled in the relevant art can easily understand the related objects and advantages of the present invention.
