DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Embodiment 1

[0027] In order to describe embodiments of the present invention in further detail to achieve the objective of embodiments of the present invention and technical effects thereof, the structural characteristics of a dish with lid provided by embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the embodiments and attached drawings. The detailed description is as follows.

[0028] FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a dish with a lid of embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the dish with a lid includes a dish body 10 and a lid body 20. The lid body 20 is disposed on the dish body 10 and snap-fitted with it. The dish body 10 and the lid body 20 form a storage cavity 30 there-between. The dish body 10 has average heights of 10 to 60 mm, but its height is not limited to the above heights. The greater the length, width or diameter of the dish body is, the higher the height of the dish is; the smaller the length, width or diameter of the dish body is, the lower the height of the dish is. In this embodiment, the dish body 10 has a height of 25 mm.

[0029] FIGS. 2 and 3 show that an open edge of the dish body 10 is provided with an inclined folded edge 11 which extends upward, and the outer edge of the inclined folded edge 11 is provided with a dish body edge engagement portion 12. The bottom of the dish body 10 is provided with support legs 13 configured to support the dish body 10 and make it more stable.

[0030] FIGS. 4 and 5 show that an open edge of the lid body 20 is provided with a horizontal folded edge 21 which horizontally extends outward, and the outer edge of the horizontal folded edge 21 is provided with a lid body edge engagement portion 22 matched with the dish body edge engagement portion 12. The outer edge of the lid body edge engagement body 22 is provided with a bevel edge 23; the bevel edge 23 allows a user to open the lid body 20 conveniently and prevents the lid body edge engagement portion 12 from being contaminated. The inside wall of the lid body edge engagement portion 22 is provided with a projection 24. The lid body 20 is provided with a recess 25 on the upside.

[0031] FIGS. 6 and 7 show that when the lid body 20 is in snap fit with the dish body 10, the lid body edge engagement portion 22 and the dish body edge engagement portion 12 are matched and snap-fitted with each other; the dish body edge engagement portion 12 is embedded in the lid body edge engagement portion 22; the far outside end of the dish body edge engagement portion 12 is pressed against the projection 24 on the inside wall of the lid body edge engagement portion 22 to drive the dish body 10 and the lid body 20 to form an embedded seal there-between, and prevent the dish body 10 and the lid body 20 from separating. When it is necessary to open the dish with lid, the bevel edge 23 on the outer edge of the lid body edge engagement portion 22 can be slightly moved such that the dish body edge engagement portion 12 pressed against the projection 24 separates from the lid body edge engagement portion 22, and then the dish body 10 is separated from the lid body 20. In this embodiment, the horizontal folded edge 21 of the lid body 20 does not completely fit the inclined folded edge 11 of the dish body 10, thus avoiding a situation where it is difficult to separate the dish body 10 and the lid body 20, once these two are snap-fitted with each other.

[0032] In this embodiment, the cross sections of the dish body edge engagement portion 12 and the lid body edge engagement portion 22 are both trapezoid, but they are not limited to the above shape.
