Detailed ways

It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can propose various alternative structural modes and implementation modes. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solutions of the present invention, and should not be regarded as all of the present invention or as a limitation or limitation to the technical solutions of the present invention.

The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom that are mentioned or may be mentioned in this specification are defined relative to the structure shown in the drawings, and they are The concept of relative, therefore, may change accordingly according to different locations and different usage conditions. Therefore, these or other orientation terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.

The container according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in conjunction with FIGS. 1 to 3, where it can be seen that the container includes an upper portion 11, a lower portion 12 and a transition portion 13 between the upper portion 11 and the lower portion 12. The upper part 11 is through and the lower part of the lower part 12 is closed. The diameter of the upper part 11 is larger than the diameter of the lower part 12, so the upper part 11, the lower part 12 and the transition part 13 are open The opening above the upper part 11 is the opening of the container. The upper part 11 and the lower part 12 are configured in a cylindrical or truncated cone shape respectively, and preferably the symmetric center line of the upper part 11 coincides with the symmetric center line of the lower part 12. The container further includes an embedding part 14, the embedding part 14 is through and the lower part of the embedding part 14 is supported by the transition part 13. Preferably, the transition portion 13 extends substantially along the radial direction of the upper portion 11 or the lower portion 12 so as to provide reliable support for the embedded portion 14. In the container, especially in the containing space formed by the lower portion 12 and the embedded portion 14, nutritional ingredients can be stored. The container further includes a sealing film 15 for closing the opening above the upper part 11, that is, the sealing film 15 for sealing the opening of the container so that the nutritional ingredients stored in the container are not Will overflow. Preferably, the sealing film 15 is made of aluminum or plastic, and/or the sealing film 15 is fixed to the upper part 11 by plastic sealing.

In the container according to the present invention, the embedding part 14 supported on the transition part 13 is constructed so that after the sealing film 15 for closing the container is cut, the sealing film 15 can be brought between the transition part 13 and the upper part 11 of the container. Time, so as to facilitate the release of nutritional ingredients.

Preferably, the height of the embedded portion 14 corresponds to the height of the upper portion 11, that is, the extension length of the embedded portion 14 in the vertical direction is substantially equivalent to the extension length of the upper portion 11 in the vertical direction. Further preferably, the extension length of the embedded portion 14 in the vertical direction is slightly larger than the extension length of the upper portion 11 in the vertical direction. In this way, when the sealing film 15 closes the container, the sealing film 15 abuts on the upper part of the embedding part 14, so that the nutritional ingredients stored in the container basically do not overflow into the embedding part. 14 and the space between the upper part 11.

Preferably, the height of the embedding portion 14 corresponds to half of the radius of the opening above the upper portion 11, that is, the extension length of the embedding portion 14 in the vertical direction is approximately equivalent to the upper portion of the upper portion 11. Half the radius of the opening. Further preferably, the extension length of the embedding portion 14 in the vertical direction is slightly larger than half of the radius of the opening above the upper portion 11. In this way, after the sealing film 15 is cut, the sealing film 15 having a length greater than the radius of the opening above the upper portion 11 can be pressed into between the upper portion 11 and the insertion portion 14.

Preferably, the embedding portion 14 has a substantially cylindrical or frusto-conical configuration. The diameter of the embedding part 14 is smaller than the diameter of the upper part 11, so that there is enough space to accommodate the cut sealing film 15 and for pressing the cut sealing film 15 into the upper part 11 of the container and embedding Tool between section 14. Further preferably, the diameter of the embedded portion 14 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the upper portion 11, so as not to excessively reduce the accommodating space formed by the embedded portion 14 and the lower portion 12 for nutritional ingredients.

An exemplary manufacturing process of the container according to the present invention is: first, the upper part 11, the lower part 12, and the transition part 13 are integrally molded by injection molding; the embedded part 14 is injection molded, and then the embedded part 14 is embedded in the upper part 11 so that the lower part of the embedded part 14 is supported on the transition part 13; then, the required nutritional ingredients are filled in from the opening above the embedded part 14; finally, the A sealing film 15 is applied to the annular edge of the upper portion 11 to close the container.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tool for a container of any one or more of the foregoing embodiments is shown in conjunction with FIGS. 4 to 6, where it can be seen that the tool includes a knife part 21 and a ring part 22, The knife portion 21 is used to cut the sealing film 15, and the ring-shaped portion 22 is used to press the cut sealing film 15 into between the upper portion 11 and the insertion portion 14 of the container.
