In some embodiments, one end of the first box cover 22 is hinged to the first box body 21. When taking out seasonings from the first accommodating cavity 211 or putting seasonings into the first accommodating cavity 211, the first box cover 22 may be flipped outward to be opened, reducing the possibility that the first box cover 22 falls off.
In some embodiments, a first shaker lid 23 is also provided inside one first accommodating cavity 211 close to an opening of the first accommodating cavity 211. By snapping the first box cover 22 on the first box body 21, the first shaker lid 23 may be snapped into the first accommodating cavity 211. The first shaker lid 23 is defined with a plurality of through holes for dispersing the internal solid seasoning. When in use, the first box cover 22 of the first accommodating cavity 211 is opened, and the first box body 21 may be turned upside down to allow the solid seasoning to be dispersed, making it more convenient to use. The first shaker lid 23 may be provided to evenly disperse the seasoning stored in the first accommodating cavity 211, which is convenient for seasoning. The arrangement of the first shaker lid 23 may also allow a user to better control the amount of seasoning to be taken, further facilitating seasoning.
In some embodiments, a rotating shaft 231 is provided at one end of the first shaker lid 23, and two ends of the rotating shaft 231 protrude from the first shaker lid 23. Correspondingly, a rotating shaft groove 212 is opened at an inner side wall defining the first accommodating cavity 211. One end of the rotating shaft 231 is inserted into the rotating shaft groove. Another end of the first shaker lid 23 away from the rotating shaft 231 is clamped to one side wall defining the first accommodating cavity 211. A pull tab 232 provided on the other end of the first shaker lid 23 away from the rotating shaft 231 is clamped to one side wall defining the first accommodating cavity 211. In other words, the pull tab 232 is near the clamping point. When it is necessary to fill the seasoning into the first accommodating cavity 211, the user only needs to pull the pull tab 232 to release the clamping connection of the end of the first shaker lid 23 away from the rotating shaft 231 with the side wall defining the first accommodating cavity 211, and flip the first shaker lid 23 outward. In other words, the pull tab 232 may be pulled to release the first shaker lid 23 to be flipped outward, which may reduce excessive contact of the user's hand with the first shaker lid 23, and may reduce the possibility that the first shaker lid 23 falls off when sprinkling or adding seasoning, thereby reducing the hygienic hazard.
