BACKGROUND
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to a container, in particular to a container capable of preventing a lid from falling off.
Related Art
The lower box and the lid of a food outer container are often accidentally separated because of their unstable combination and fastening, which causes food in the box to spill out.
In this case, a plastic rope or rubber band must be used to bind the container, resulting in excess plastic pollution. Moreover, it is still impossible to seal the lower box and the lid through the rubber band, which may lead to deterioration of the food inside the container. Besides, when the outer container is subjected to collision during transportation, the lid is more prone to separation from the box, so that the freshness and safety of the commodities during transportation cannot be ensured.
SUMMARY
The disclosure provides an anti-opening container, mainly including a first box and a second box. The first box includes a first body and a first box section. The first body includes a first base and a first side wall. The first side wall forms a receiving space around the first base, and the first base is substantially parallel to a horizontal plane. The first box section is formed by the extension of the first side wall and includes a first fastening groove. A depression direction of the first fastening groove is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The second box includes a second body, a second box section and an extension section. The second body includes a second base and a second side wall. The first base and the second base are arranged opposite to each other, and the second side wall forms an accommodating space around the second base. The second box section is formed by the extension of the second side wall and includes a second fastening groove. A depression direction of the second fastening groove is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When the first box and the second box are combined, the first box section is stacked on the second box section. The extension section is formed by the extension of the second side wall, and includes a fastener and a gripping section. The gripping section is connected to the fastener. When the fastener fits into the first fastening groove, the gripping section is located outside the first fastening groove.
According to the anti-opening container of the disclosure, a user may apply a force on the fastener by pinching the gripping section, which can provide the fastener with a pulling force in the direction away from the first fastening groove, so that the fastener and the first fastening groove that are in close fit with each other can be separated. Besides, the fastener fits into the first box section, so that the first box is prevented from being separated from the second box when the anti-opening container is hit by an external force during transportation, which can prevent the anti-opening container from being easily opened due to the hit during transportation.
The detailed features and advantages of the disclosure are set forth in the detailed description of the embodiments of the disclosure, the content of which is sufficient for any person skilled in the art to understand the technical content of the disclosure and implement it based thereon.

Although the first box 1 and the second box 2 are represented as hollow cuboids in the drawings, the disclosure does not limit the shapes of the first box 1 and the second box 2, which may also be hollow round boxes, hollow elliptical boxes or other polygonal shapes and can be designed according to actual needs.
In this embodiment, the second box 2 serves as a lid to cover the first box 1 (as shown in FIG. 1), but the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the second box 2 may also serve as a lid to cover the first box 1.
Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, the first box 1 may mainly consist of a first body 11 and a first box section 12.
The first body 11 may mainly consist of a first base 111 and a first side wall 112. The first side wall 112 forms a receiving space around the first base 111, and the first base 111 is substantially parallel to a horizontal plane P.
The first box section 12 is formed by extending from an end corner of the first side wall 112, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The first box section 12 may also be formed by extending from a side edge of the first side wall 112. The first box section 12 includes a first fastening groove 121. A depression direction Z2 of the first fastening groove 121 is substantially perpendicular to a horizontal plane P. That is, the depression direction Z2 of the first fastening groove 121 is substantially perpendicular to the first base 111. The disclosure does not limit the quantity of the first box sections 12 arranged.
The second box 2 may mainly include a second body 21, a second box section 22 and an extension section 24.
The second body 21 may mainly consist of a second base 211 and a second side wall 212. The second side wall 212 forms an accommodating space around the second base 211. The first base 111 and the second base 211 are arranged opposite to each other. That is, the first base 111 is substantially parallel to the second base 211.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the second side wall 212 may include a second side wall body 2121 and a peripheral side wall 2122. The peripheral side wall 2122 is located at an outer side of a periphery of the second fastening groove 221, and the second side wall body 2121 and the peripheral side wall 2122 are connected to two opposite sides of a second top surface 2123. In some embodiments, the second top surface 2123 is substantially parallel to the second base 211, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The second top surface 2123 may also be not parallel to the second base 211.
The second box section 22 is formed by extending from an end corner of the second side wall 212, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The second box section 22 may also be formed by extending from a side edge of the second side wall 212. The second box section 22 includes a second fastening groove 221. A depression direction Z2 of the second fastening groove 221 is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane P. That is, the depression direction Z2 of the second fastening groove 221 is substantially perpendicular to the second base 211. The disclosure does not limit the quantity of the second box sections 22 arranged.
As shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a sectional view of FIG. 5 taken along line A-A. When the first box 1 and the second box 2 are combined, the first box section 12 is stacked on the second box section 22. In other words, the first box section 12 is not closely combined with the second box section 22.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the extension section 24 is formed by the extension of the second side wall 212, and mainly includes a fastener 241 and a gripping section 242. As shown in FIG. 3, the extension section 24 is formed by the extension of the peripheral side wall 2122 of the second box section 22. The fastener 241 is located at an end of the extension section 24 away from the second box section 22, and its depression direction Z1 (as shown in FIG. 3) is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane P. That is, the depression direction Z1 of the fastener 241 is substantially perpendicular to the second base 211. As shown in FIG. 7, the fastener 241 fits into the first fastening groove 121. In other words, the fastener 241 and the first box section 12 are in close fit with each other such that the fastener 241 is closely combined with the first box section 12. The fastener 241 fits into the first fastening groove 121, so that the first box 1 can be prevented from being separated from the second box 2 when the anti- opening container 100 is hit by an external force during transportation, which can prevent the anti-opening container 100 from being opened due to the hit during transportation.
The gripping section 242 is connected to the fastener 241 and located at the end of the extension section 24 away from the second box section 22. That is, the gripping section 242 is located at an outer side of the fastener 241.
As shown in FIG. 7, when the fastener 241 fits into the first clamping fastening groove 121, the gripping section 242 is located outside the first fastening groove 121. That is, the gripping section 242 is not received in the first fastening groove 121. Since the fastener 241 fits into the first fastening groove 121 downward along the direction Z2 perpendicular to the horizontal plane P, a user may apply a force on the fastener 241 by pinching the gripping section 242, which can provide the fastener 241 with a pulling force in the direction Z1 away from the first fastening groove 121, so that the fastener 241 and the first fastening groove 121 that are in close fit with each other can be separated.
Besides, since the first box section 12 is just stack on the second box section 22 and not closely combined with the second box section 22, after the fastener 241 leaves the first fastening groove 121, the user can partially separate the first box 1 from the second box 2 easily so as to open the anti-opening container 100.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the gripping section 242 may have a bump structure 2421. The bump structure 2421 protrudes from a body 2420 of the gripping section 242. Here, the bump structure 2421 in FIG. 3 is illustrated by taking a hemispherical shape as an example, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The bump structure 2421 may also be in other shapes. As shown in FIG. 7, when the fastener 241 fits into the first fastening groove 121, the bump structure 2421 abuts against an outer edge 1210 of the first fastening groove 121, so that a gap G is formed between the gripping section 242 and an outer periphery of the first fastening groove 121.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 8 which shows a sectional view of FIG. 5 taken along line B-B, in some embodiments, the first side wall 112 mainly includes a first side wall body 1121 and a first locking surface 1122. The first locking surface 1122 is located at an outer side of a periphery of the first side wall body 1121. The first side wall body 1121 and the first locking surface 1122 maybe integrally formed. The second side wall 212 mainly includes a second side wall body 2121 and a second locking surface 2124. The second locking surface 2124 is located at an outer side of a periphery of the second side wall body 2121. The second side wall body 2121 and the second locking surface 2124 maybe integrally formed.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 8, when the first box 1 and the second box 2 are combined, the first locking surface 1122 is locked with the second locking surface 2124 so as to locate the first box 1 and the second box 2. Here, the second locking surface 2124 may abut against the first locking surface 1122 in a direction Z3 away from the center of the first box 1.
Here, the first locking surface 1122 is located at one side of the first fastening groove 121, and the second locking surface 2124 is located at one side of the second fastening groove 221. As shown in FIG. 8, the first locking surface 1122 and the second locking surface 2124 that are locked with each other are located at the position of line B-B marked in FIG. 5, but not the position of line A-A marked in FIG. 5 (i.e., the positions of the first fastening groove 121 and the second fastening groove 221).
Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the first fastening groove 121 may include a first neck 1211 and a first closing section 1212. The first closing section 1212 is a closed side of the first fastening groove 121. A first inner side wall 1213 of the first fastening groove 121 surrounds the first closing section 1212 and is generally of a hollow cylinder. A cross section of the first fastening groove 121 in the depression direction Z2 is generally flared from the first neck 1211 to the first closing section 1212, and is also flared from the first neck 1211 to the open side of the first fastening groove 121. In other words, the cross section of the first fastening groove 121 in the depression direction Z2 is generally in a shape of an hourglass.
As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the fastener 241 may include a fastener opening section 2411 and a fastener closing section 2412. Here, the fastener 241 may be a hollow cylinder, and its cross section in the depression direction Z2 (when the fastener 241 fits into the first fastening groove 121, the depression direction is Z2) is generally flared from the fastener opening section 2411 to the fastener closing section 2412.
A width W1 of the first neck 1211 of the first fastening groove 121 is less than a width W2 of the first closing section 1212, and a width W3 of the fastener opening section 2411 of the fastener 241 is less than a width W4 of the fastener closing section 2412. Therefore, the closer the fastener 241 is to the direction of the fastener closing section 2412, the closer it abuts against the first fastening groove 121, so that the fastener 241 cannot be separated from the first fastening groove 121 easily.
Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the width W4 of the fastener closing section 2412 is slightly greater than the width W1 of the first neck 1211. In this embodiment, since the width W4 of the fastener closing section 2412 of the fastener 241 is greater than the width W1 of the first neck 1211 of the first fastening groove 121, when the fastener 241 fits into the first fastening groove 121, the fastener closing section 2412 is limited by the first neck 1211 and thus cannot be easily separated from the first fastening groove 121 in the direction Z1 away from the first fastening groove 121, so that the fastener 241 can be firmly combined with the first fastening groove 121.
Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the second fastening groove 221 includes a second opening section 2211 and a second closing section 2212. A width W5 of the second opening section 2211 is greater than a width W6 of the second closing section 2212. Therefore, a cross section of the second fastening groove 221 in the depression direction Z2 generally tappers from the second opening section 2211 to the second closing section 2212. Besides, the width W2 of the first closing section 1212 of the first fastening groove 121 is less than the width W6 of the second closing section 2212, so when the first box 1 or a part of the first box 1 leaves the second box 2, the first fastening groove 121 can be separated from the second fastening groove 221 easily.
Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the first inner side wall 1213 of the first fastening groove 121 may include a guide section 1213a. The guide section 1213a is connected to the first neck 1211, and a width W7 of an end of the guide section 1213a away from the first closing section 1212 is greater than the width W1 of the first neck 1211. Since the width W1 of the first neck 1211 (as shown in FIG. 7) is less than the width W4 of the fastener closing section 2412 (as shown in FIG. 7), in order to ensure the fastener 241 to smoothly fit into the first fastening groove 121, the guide section 1213a can guide the fastener 241 into the first fastening groove 121, then the user applies a force, so that the fastener 241 passes through the first neck 1211 and fits into the first fastening groove 121.
