Vacuum apparatus for vacuum compression pack used to store foods

Abstract

A vacuum apparatus for a vacuum compression pack used to store foods is provided. The vacuum apparatus includes a vacuum valve and a piston-type vacuum pump. The vacuum valve is installed in the vacuum compression pack, and the vacuum compression pack is prepared by using a pair of an upper vinyl and a lower vinyl having a sheet structure. Three edges of the vacuum compression pack are thermally compressed to seal the vacuum compression pack, and one edge of the vacuum compression pack is equipped with a zipper to seal the vacuum compression pack. The piston-type vacuum pump is installed in the vacuum compression pack such that the vacuum valve is buried in the vacuum pump.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a vacuum apparatus for a vacuum compression pack used to store foods, in which a vacuum pressure valve is installed in a vinyl bag having a sheet structure and the vinyl bag is held in a vacuum state by a vacuum pump, so that the foods packaged in the vacuum compression pack can be stored for a long period of time without decomposition of the foods.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A general food vessel simply receives foods therein. If the foods are stored in the food vessel for a long period of time, the foods may be decomposed so that most homemakers may cook the foods available for a short period of time. Thus, the homemakers must frequently cook the foods, causing inconvenience especially for small families, such as two-income families.[0005]In order to solve the above drawback, a vacuum vessel has been developed to store the foods in a vacuum state. However, it is diffic...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum apparatus including a vacuum valve capable of perfectly sealing foods in a sanitary state and a vacuum pump having a small size to drain air through the vacuum valve, so the vacuum apparatus can be easily carried and stored while representing the inexpensive cost and high popularization.

[0010]In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a vacuum apparatus, in which a vacuum valve is installed in a compression pack having a sheet structure such that the vacuum valve can be buried in a piston-type pump, and the compression pack is held in a vacuum state by draining air contained in the compression pack through the up-down movement of a piston, thereby storing foods for a long period of time without decomposition of the foods.

[0011]As described above, according to the present invention, the air can be drained from the compression pack by using the vacuum valve and the piston-type pump, so that the structure of the vacuum apparatus can be simplified. Thus, the vacuum apparatus can be manufactured in a small size with the inexpensive cost, and can be easily carried and stored.

Problems solved by technology

If the foods are stored in the food vessel for a long period of time, the foods may be decomposed so that most homemakers may cook the foods available for a short period of time.

Thus, the homemakers must frequently cook the foods, causing inconvenience especially for small families, such as two-income families.

However, it is difficult to keep the vacuum vessel in a perfect vacuum state, so that the available time of the foods stored in the vacuum vessel may be short.

However, according to the above vacuum apparatus, the vacuum valve installed in the compression pack having the sheet structure may not be completely sealed, so that the vacuum state may not be perfectly maintained.

In addition, since the electric pump is employed as a vacuum pump to drain the air contained in the compression pack, the vacuum pump may have the large size and expensive cost, so that the vacuum pump may not be easily available and popularized.

In addition, although most foods contain moisture, the vacuum valve cannot deal with the moisture, so the vacuum valve is unsanitary and easily open due to the moisture.

Thus, it is almost impossible to reuse the vacuum valve.
