  • the arrangement of the first space 100, 100a and the second space 101, 101a can be altered according to the status of the partition component 2, so that the partition component 2 formed with the suitable status is able to be disposed in the container body 1 with respect to different foods to be stored by a user.
  • the partition component 2 is mainly composed of a plurality of plate units 20, and each plate unit 20 has a partition plate part 21 and an abutting part 22 extended from one side of the partition plate part 21.
  • the plate units 2 can be made through an injection molding means by utilizing a same mold, and the two plate units 2 are oppositely arranged so as to structure the partition component 2. Details are provided as follows.
  • At least one first pivotal part 210 and at least one second pivotal part 211 are provided at the partition plate part 21 of the plate unit 20 and arranged at one side away from the abutting part 22, wherein the first pivotal part 210 is disposed with a pivotal shaft 210a, and the second pivotal part 211 is disposed with a pivotal hole 211a.
  • the two plate units 20 when the two plate units 20 are oppositely arranged, the first pivotal part 210 is corresponding to the second pivotal part 211 arranged at the other end, the two plate units 20 can be composed as the partition component 2 through the partition plate parts 21 thereof being pivotally connected, and the partition plate parts 21 can be unfolded to form the transversal status as shown in FIG.
  • An alignment part 220 is extended from at least one side of the abutting part 22 of each plate unit 20 of the partition component 2, the alignment part 220 is formed with a curvature, a transversal inner edge 110 is formed between the lateral parts of the container body 1, and a longitudinal inner edge 111 is formed between the bottom part 10 and each lateral part 11 of the container body 1; meanwhile a curvature defined by the transversal inner edge 110 being extended from each lateral part 11, and a curvature defined by the longitudinal inner edge 111 being extended from the bottom part 10 to each lateral part 11 are substantially the same as the curvature of the alignment part 220.
