Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of bottle, jar type container for liquid packaging, and particularly relates to the sealing structure of the container. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bottle, jar type container is widely used for liquid packaging, and its opening part usually needs reliable sealing. The packaging of some products such as high-grade wine not only needs to meet the sealing requirement, but also needs to have decorative effect. It usually adopts the way of inner sealing cover plus outer decorative cover to realize the double requirements of sealing and decoration. For this, there are many technical solutions in the prior art, but it is difficult for hard material to realize reliable sealing, and the inner sealing cover is usually made of high polymer flexible material, but the problem brought by it is that the high polymer material is easy to age and deteriorate, which not only affects the sealing effect, but also may pollute the content.

[0003] With the progress of material processing technology, the surface of some hard materials can be mated at low cost, and the liquid can be reliably sealed, such as ceramic material. The present application provides a sealing structure of hard material inner plug and inner wall of container mouth, which is particularly suitable for the sealing structure of ceramic container and ceramic inner plug cover, and can also be suitable for other hard materials.

The sealing structure comprises a container mouth, an inner plug inserted into the container mouth, an outer cover outside the container mouth, a snap spring in the outer cover, the snap spring having an inner thread, a neck part of the outer surface of the container mouth being sleeved with a locking ring, the locking ring having an outer thread, and the snap spring being threadedly connected with the locking ring.

[0006] As a preferred solution, the container mouth 1 and the inner plug are both made of ceramic material, and high-precision processing is adopted to realize mirror surface mating sealing. Further, the inner plug is a T-shaped inner plug, which is composed of an upper plug crown and a lower plug body.

[0007] As a preferred solution, the inner side of the upper edge of the container mouth has a recess, and the inner hole of the container mouth is a conical surface with a certain slope. The plug body of the T-shaped inner plug has a sealing ring groove near the plug crown, and the sealing ring groove has a sealing ring, which cooperates with the recess. The sealing ring only plays an auxiliary sealing role, and at the same time increases the friction force to prevent the inner plug from sliding. The plug body is a conical surface with a certain slope, which cooperates with the conical surface of the inner hole of the container mouth.

[0008] As a preferred solution, the outer side of the container mouth is a neck between the upper edge and the shoulder. The locking ring has a longitudinal locking ring opening, and the locking ring can be sleeved into the neck of the container mouth by pulling the locking ring apart. The neck of the container mouth and the surface of the locking ring have a concave-convex matching structure to prevent sliding. The concave-convex matching structure can be that the neck has one or more positioning holes, and the inner surface of the locking ring has one or more positioning columns, and the positioning holes and the positioning columns are matched.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the lower part of the outer cover has a snap spring slot, and the lower edge has a gap. The snap spring has a longitudinal snap spring opening, and the lower end has a locking catch I extending outward, and the locking catch I has a locking hole I. The snap spring is pressed (so that its diameter is reduced) and is clamped into the snap spring slot of the outer cover, and the locking catch I of the snap spring extends out of the gap of the outer cover. The locking ring has a longitudinal locking ring opening, and the lower end has a locking catch II extending outward, and the locking catch II has a locking hole II. The locking ring can be sleeved into the neck of the container mouth by moderately pulling the locking ring apart, the positioning columns and the positioning holes are matched to prevent the locking ring from sliding. The outer thread is matched with the inner thread, the locking catch I is matched with the locking catch II, the locking hole I and the locking hole II are aligned, and a padlock can be hung to lock and close the seal.

[0010] The container seal structure of the present application combines the inner plug and the outer cover, and takes into account the sealing and decorative properties. The mirror surface matching achieved by high-precision processing of the inner plug and the inner hole of the container plays a sealing role and simplifies the seal structure.
