Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of flour storage, and particularly to a flour storage device. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, flour, as a key raw material for making staple foods such as steamed buns and noodles, is an essential ingredient in many family kitchens. Due to its powdery nature, its physical properties determine that it has high requirements for environmental conditions during storage, especially the need to focus on preventing moisture absorption and insect infestation.

[0003] In related technologies, most families often use a relatively simple method when storing flour, that is, directly placing the purchased flour in the cabinet. However, the environment of the cabinet is difficult to meet the ideal storage conditions for flour. On the one hand, the inside of the cabinet cannot effectively isolate the air, and the moisture in the air will gradually penetrate into the flour, causing the flour to become damp and caked. This not only affects the texture and taste of the flour but also reduces its nutritional value. On the other hand, the cabinet is not a sealed space, and insects are easy to enter and feed on the flour, resulting in the flour being infested by insects, with a large amount of debris and insect bodies, seriously affecting the quality of the flour, and ultimately it can only be discarded, causing unnecessary waste.

[0004] In addition, ordinary cabinets do not have a design for flexibly adjusting the flour storage capacity. When a family purchases a large amount of flour at one time, the limited space in the cabinet may not be able to accommodate it properly, and when the flour storage amount is small, the cabinet space cannot be reasonably utilized, resulting in a waste of space resources.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present application, magnets are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the downward movement limit block, the bottom inner side wall of the limit protection cover and the bottom of the limit protection cover; a metal block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upward movement limit block.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present application, a sealing strip is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing cover, and the sealing strip is connected to the round hole by interference fit.

[0016] In an embodiment of the present application, temperature-changing coatings are respectively sprayed on the side walls of the upper component, the telescopic component and the lower component.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present application, a card slot is opened at the end of the rubber ball, and a fixing hook is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper component.

[0032] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0033] The flour storage device of the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0034] As Figures 1 - 6 shown, the flour storage device of the embodiments of the present application may include a storage tank body, and the storage tank body includes an upper component 1, a telescopic component 11 and a lower component 12 that are connected to each other.

[0035] Among them, the telescopic component 11 is located between the upper component 1 and the lower component 12 to realize the connection between the upper component 1 and the lower component 12 and can adjust the height of the tank body. The bottom of the lower component 12 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip component 13. A circular hole is opened at the top of the telescopic component 11. A sealing cover 14 is detachably installed in the middle of the upper component 1. A rubber ball 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover 14. An operating component 16 for changing the height of the tank body is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper component 1. By operating the operating component 16, the telescopic component 11 can be stretched or compressed to change the height of the tank body.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the upper component 1 described is the upper shell, the telescopic component 11 is the telescopic tube, the lower component 12 is the lower shell, the anti-slip component 13 is the rubber anti-slip pad, and the operating component 16 is the handle.

[0037] Specifically, the telescopic component 11 is installed between the upper component 1 and the lower component 12. Its function is to connect the two and adjust the height of the tank body. The bottom of the lower component 12 is firmly fixed with an anti-slip component 13, which can ensure the stability of the device when placed. A round hole is opened at the top of the telescopic component 11. The middle part of the upper component 1 is detachably installed with a sealing cover 14. A rubber ball 15 is fixed on the top of the sealing cover 14, which is convenient for users to operate the sealing cover 14. The side wall of the upper component 1 is fixed with an operating component 16. By operating this component, the telescopic component 11 can be stretched or compressed, thereby changing the height of the tank body. During actual operation, when it is necessary to increase the storage space, the user can hold the handle and stretch it upward to expand the telescopic tube. If it is necessary to reduce the space, press the tank body to contract the telescopic tube.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, a limit protection cover 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper component 1, and a downward movement limit block 21 and an upward movement limit block 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower component 12. The downward movement limit block 21 is located at the bottom of the upward movement limit block 22, and the upward movement limit block 22 is close to the telescopic component 11.

[0039] Specifically, when adjusting the height of the tank body, when the tank body is stretched upward, the upward movement limit block 22 will cooperate with the limit protection cover 2 to prevent the telescopic tube from being overstretched. When the tank body is pressed downward, the downward movement limit block 21 will cooperate with the limit protection cover 2 to avoid the telescopic tube being overcompressed, thereby protecting the telescopic tube and extending its service life. At the same time, magnets 6 are fixed to the top of the downward movement limit block 21, the bottom inner side wall of the limit protection cover 2, and the bottom of the limit protection cover 2, and a metal block 61 is fixed to the bottom of the upward movement limit block 22. When the tank body is adjusted to the appropriate height, the magnetic attraction between the magnet 6 and the metal block 61 will enhance the stability of the tank body and prevent it from accidentally telescoping during use.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, a discharge ball 3 is also fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower component 12. A threaded hole is opened in the middle of the discharge ball 3, and the threaded hole penetrates through the discharge ball 3 and the lower component 12. A sealing plug 31 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. A rotating piece 32 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plug 31, and the threaded hole is inclined.

[0041] Specifically, when it is necessary to take out flour, the relevant personnel can unscrew the sealing plug 31 by rotating the rotating piece 32. Due to the inclination of the threaded hole, the flour will smoothly discharge from the discharge port under the action of gravity. After taking out the flour, then rotate the rotating piece 32 to tighten the sealing plug 31 to prevent the flour from leaking and the entry of external air, moisture, and pests.

[0042] As a possible scenario, a vibrator (not shown in the figure) is also installed on the discharging ball 3 described in this embodiment. When it is necessary to take out the flour, the vibrator is started, and the flour attached together is dispersed through vibration, making it easier to discharge.

[0043] As another possible scenario, a rotatable stirring paddle similar to a dragon worm is also provided inside the discharging ball 3 (not shown in the figure). When taking out the flour, the stirring paddle can be rotated to promote the discharge of the flour.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, a plurality of groove blocks 41 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing cover 14. The groove blocks 41 are arranged in a circular array. A pest repellent cover 4 is detachably connected to the bottom of the sealing cover 14, and a plurality of fixing blocks 42 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the pest repellent cover 4.

[0045] Specifically, relevant personnel can place items with pest repellent effects such as Chinese prickly ash, garlic, and star anise in the pest repellent cover 4, and then install the pest repellent cover 4 on the bottom of the sealing cover 14 by aligning the fixing blocks 42 with the groove blocks 41 and snapping them in. When the pest repellent effect of the pest repellent items weakens or needs to be replaced, the pest repellent cover 4 can be conveniently removed for operation by simply taking out the fixing blocks 42 from the groove blocks 41.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, mounting holes 5 are respectively formed in the side walls of the upper member 1 and the lower member 12. A transparent plate 51 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting hole 5, and scale lines are provided on the side wall of the transparent plate 51.

[0047] Specifically, relevant personnel can directly see the remaining amount of flour in the tank through the transparent plate 51. At the same time, the scale lines can help users more accurately judge the specific quantity of the remaining flour, so as to replenish the flour in time and avoid the situation where the flour is used up but not discovered in time.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, magnets 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the downward displacement limiting block 21, the bottom of the inner side wall of the limiting protection cover 2, and the bottom of the limiting protection cover 2. A metal block 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upward displacement limiting block 22.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, a sealing strip 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing cover 14, and the sealing strip 7 is connected to the round hole through interference fit.

[0050] Specifically, when installing the sealing cover 14, the user aligns the sealing cover 14 with the round hole and presses it. Since the sealing strip 7 is in interference fit with the round hole, a good sealing effect can be formed, effectively preventing external air, moisture, and pests from entering the inside of the tank and ensuring the storage quality of the flour.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, temperature-changing coatings are respectively sprayed on the side walls of the upper component 1, the telescopic component 11, and the lower component 12.

[0052] Specifically, the temperature-changing coating changes color with the change of the ambient temperature. When the ambient temperature is too high, which may have an adverse impact on the storage of flour in the tank, the color change of the temperature-changing coating will remind the user to take corresponding measures, such as transferring the device to a place with a lower temperature, so as to ensure the storage quality of the flour.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, a clamping groove 81 is opened at the end of the rubber ball 15, and a fixing hook 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper component 1.

[0054] Specifically, when taking flour, the relevant personnel can open the sealing cover 14 and hang the clamping groove 81 at the end of the rubber ball 15 on the fixing hook 8. This can prevent the sealing cover 14 from being placed randomly and getting contaminated with dust, and also facilitate covering the sealing cover 14 in time after taking the flour to maintain the airtightness of the device.

[0055] In summary, the flour storage device of the embodiment of the present application can effectively prevent moisture and insects, improve the storage quality of flour, and can also flexibly adjust the height of the tank body to adapt to different purchase quantities, thereby effectively improving the space utilization rate.
