Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of containers, and in particular to a silica gel container. Background Art

[0002] As a popular snack, popcorn has multiple advantages: it is not only crispy, but also low in fat and calories, making it a healthy snack choice; it is easy to make and carry, and has a relatively low cost, so it is loved by people of all ages and backgrounds, especially by other users such as movie lovers, sports spectators, outdoor activity participants and snack lovers.

[0003] In order to facilitate the making of popcorn, there are many containers for making popcorn on the market. Users put ingredients such as grains, ghee and sugar into the container, and place the container with the ingredients in a microwave oven. They turn on the microwave and wait for a while to complete the making of popcorn. It is convenient and quick.

[0004] In order to make popcorn crispy, it is necessary to remove moisture from the raw materials. When the microwave oven starts to heat the raw materials in the container, the moisture in the raw materials evaporates rapidly due to the heat. If during this process, the water vapor evaporated from the raw materials cannot be dissipated along the container in time, the water vapor will gather in the container. After the popcorn is made, some of the water vapor may be absorbed by the popcorn, affecting the eating taste of the popcorn. There is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to facilitate the production and maintain the short-term storage effect of popcorn, the present application provides a silica gel container.

[0006] The present application provides a silica gel container adopting the following technical solution:

[0007] A silica gel container comprises a cover and a barrel, wherein the barrel is used for making and / or containing popcorn, the cover covers the barrel opening of the barrel, and a vent is formed on the cover, which penetrates along the thickness direction of the cover.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover and the barrel are made of silicone material, which has high temperature resistance and stable chemical properties to meet the heating requirements of microwave ovens. The popcorn to be processed is placed in the barrel and covered with the cover, and the silicone container is placed in the microwave oven. When the microwave oven starts working, the popcorn in the silicone container begins to heat up, and the moisture in the popcorn or the gas at the bottom of the barrel will be dispersed along the exhaust part, thereby reducing the amount of water vapor accumulated on the barrel and / or the cover, and reducing the probability of the water vapor on the barrel and / or the cover being absorbed by the popcorn again after the popcorn processing is completed, thereby affecting the edible taste of the popcorn. At the same time, when the popcorn processing is completed, the popcorn can be directly placed in the silicone container without the need for secondary packaging, which plays a positive guiding role in making and maintaining short-term storage of popcorn.

[0009] Preferably, the exhaust portion includes a plurality of air dispersion openings, and the plurality of air dispersion openings are distributed on the cover body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the water vapor at the bottom of the barrel body is discharged through a plurality of air dispersion openings, thereby increasing the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust part and reducing the probability of a large amount of water vapor accumulating on the barrel body and / or the cover body due to the inability to discharge the water vapor in time.

[0011] Preferably, the cover body is divided into a plurality of cover pieces by the plurality of air dispersion openings. When external force is applied to the cover pieces, the cover pieces are deformed along the air dispersion openings. When the external force disappears, the cover pieces can be reset.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user needs to take the popcorn out from the barrel body, the user can directly extend his hand into the bottom of the barrel body along the cover piece. After the popcorn is taken out, the cover piece can be reset. Therefore, when the user needs to take the popcorn, there is no need to open the cover along the barrel body, thereby reducing the amount of foreign matter in the air that enters the bottom of the barrel body, which is beneficial to maintaining the sanitary conditions of the popcorn. At the same time, the user does not need to open the cover body to achieve the purpose of taking the popcorn, and reduces the probability of popcorn spilling along the silicone container when the silicone container is tipped over.

[0013] Preferably, the barrel body is provided with a plurality of folding portions along the height direction, and when an external force is applied to the barrel body, the plurality of folding portions are folded with each other in sequence along the connection portions.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the container is not needed, the barrel body can be folded along the folding portion and stored, thereby reducing the space occupied by the container.

[0015] Preferably, a plurality of convex rings are sequentially arranged on the bottom of the barrel body from the geometric center to the edge of the bottom of the barrel body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when popcorn is placed at the bottom of the barrel, the guiding and limiting effects of several convex rings make the popcorn relatively evenly distributed at the bottom of the barrel, thereby reducing the probability of popcorn accumulating along the barrel, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0017] Preferably, a hanging hole is provided on the barrel mouth of the barrel body.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the container is no longer needed, the cover body can be closed on the barrel body, and the barrel body can be hung at a designated position along the hanging hole, which is conducive to improving the neatness of the container.

[0019] Preferably, the cover body is provided with a pull ear, and the barrel body is provided with a cover removal groove, and when the cover body is closed on the barrel mouth of the barrel body, the pull ear is located in the cover removal groove.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user needs to remove the cover from the barrel body, the user can use the cooperation between the cover removal groove and the pull ear to pull the pull ear along the cover removal groove with fingers, thereby removing the cover from the barrel body, which is easy to operate.

[0021] Preferably, a snap-fit ​​piece is provided on the cover body, and a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the barrel mouth of the barrel body. When the cover body is covered on the barrel body, the snap-fit ​​piece is snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the clamping piece and the clamping groove, the cover body can be stably covered on the barrel body when not affected by external force, thereby reducing the probability of the cover body falling off along the barrel body due to looseness in the cooperation between the cover body and the barrel body.

[0023] Preferably, the covering piece is provided with a reinforcement portion along the edge, and the thickness of the reinforcement portion is greater than the thickness of the covering piece.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcement part is used to increase the toughness of the cover piece itself, reduce the cover piece being unable to reset when affected by external force, increase the size of the exhaust part, and thus increase the amount of water vapor in the air entering the bottom of the barrel body.

[0025] Preferably, the bottom of the barrel body is arched upward toward the open end of the barrel body.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, since the bottom of the barrel is arched upward toward the open end of the barrel, the probability of uneven heating of the popcorn and reduced detonation rate of the grains due to popcorn gathering in the middle of the bottom of the barrel is reduced.

[0027] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. Some of the water vapor and heat remaining in the popcorn are dissipated along the exhaust part, which improves the heat dissipation capacity of the barrel body, which is conducive to reducing the probability of water vapor gathering in the silica gel container, so that the water vapor is absorbed by the popcorn again. When the user takes the popcorn at the bottom of the barrel body, through the cooperation of several cover pieces, there is no need to open the cover along the barrel body, thereby reducing the amount of foreign matter in the air entering the bottom of the barrel body. To a certain extent, it solves the problem that when the popcorn is stored for a short period of time, the amount of water vapor accumulated at the bottom of the barrel body affects the edible taste of the popcorn;

[0029] 2. When the container is not needed, the barrel can be folded along the folding portion and stored to reduce the space occupied by the container;

[0030] 3. Through the guiding and limiting effects of several convex rings, the popcorn is relatively evenly distributed at the bottom of the barrel, reducing the probability of popcorn accumulating along the barrel, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0038] The present application embodiment discloses a silica gel container 1. Figure 1A silicone container 1 includes a cover 11 and a barrel 12. The barrel 12 is used to make and / or contain popcorn. The cover 11 covers the barrel mouth of the barrel 12. The cover 11 is provided with a vent 2. The vent 2 is formed through the thickness direction of the cover 11. The moisture in the popcorn or the gas in the barrel 12 will be dispersed along the vent 2, reducing the amount of water vapor accumulated on the barrel 12 and / or the cover 11.

[0039] Specifically, the entire silicone container 1 is made of silicone material, which has excellent temperature resistance and stable chemical properties, and can meet the needs of directly placing the silicone container 1 in a microwave oven for heating, and can meet the needs of making and / or serving freshly made popcorn without waiting for the popcorn to cool down and then store it again.

[0040] Further, see Figure 1-Figure 3 In any figure, the exhaust part 2 includes a plurality of air dispersion openings 21, and the plurality of air dispersion openings 21 are distributed on the cover body 11. The plurality of air dispersion openings 21 are formed to radiate concentrically toward the edge of the cover body 11, and the water vapor in the barrel body 12 is discharged through the plurality of air dispersion openings 21, which increases the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust part 2 and reduces the probability of a large amount of water vapor being accumulated on the barrel body 12 and / or the cover body 11 due to the inability to discharge the water vapor in time. The plurality of air dispersion openings 21 divide the cover body 11 into a plurality of cover pieces 3. When an external force is applied to the cover piece 3, the cover piece 3 is deformed along the air dispersion openings 21, and when the external force disappears, the cover piece 3 can be reset.

[0041] Correspondingly, the number of the air diffusion openings 21 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. In the present embodiment, six air diffusion openings 21 are arranged in an arc shape, and the six air diffusion openings 21 diverge from the geometric center of the cover body 11 to the edge of the cover body 11.

[0042] Therefore, since there are six air dispersion openings 21, six air dispersion openings 21 are used to separate six cover pieces 3 along the cover body 11, and one end of the six cover pieces 3 facing the geometric center of the cover body 11 is in a disconnected state. Therefore, when the user needs to take popcorn, the user can directly use the hand to drive the cover piece 3 to deform, thereby extending the hand into the barrel body 12 without removing the cover body 11 along the barrel body 12. This reduces the probability of foreign matter in the air entering the barrel body 12 due to frequent removal of the cover body 11 along the barrel body 12, and is beneficial to maintaining the sanitary conditions of the popcorn. At the same time, it is beneficial to reduce the probability of popcorn spilling along the barrel body 12 after the user finishes taking the popcorn.

[0043] In addition, refer to Figure 5A reinforcing portion 15 is provided along the edge of the cover piece 3, and the thickness of the reinforcing portion 15 is greater than the thickness of the cover piece 3, wherein the reinforcing portion 15 is located on the surface of the cover piece 3 facing the inside of the barrel body 12, so that the appearance of the barrel body 12 is relatively flat, and the reinforcing portion 15 and the cover piece 3 are integrally formed, which is beneficial to reducing the time required for the production of the cover body 11. The reinforcing portion 15 is beneficial to increase the toughness of the cover piece 3 itself, and reduce the cover piece 3 being unable to reset when it is affected by external force, thereby increasing the size of the exhaust portion 2, thereby increasing the amount of water vapor in the air entering the barrel body 12.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The barrel body 12 is provided with a plurality of folding portions 4 along the height direction. When an external force is applied to the barrel body 12, the plurality of folding portions 4 are folded with each other in sequence along the connection portions.

[0045] Specifically, the number of folding parts 4 can be increased or decreased according to the actual size and height of the barrel body 12. In this embodiment, there are four folding parts 4, which are integrally formed, and the thickness of the folding parts 4 from the barrel mouth of the barrel body 12 to the barrel bottom of the barrel body 12 is gradually reduced. Therefore, when the user does not need to use the container 1, the cover body 11 can be covered on the barrel body 12 and pressure is applied to the cover body 11. Due to the difference in thickness between the four folding parts 4, the four folding parts 4 are forced to be folded in sequence in the vertical direction. The size of the folded container 1 is greatly reduced, which is conducive to reducing the space occupied by the container 1 and is also convenient for storing the container 1.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A plurality of convex rings 5 ​​are sequentially arranged along the geometric center of the bottom of the barrel body 12 to the edge of the bottom of the barrel body 12 .

[0047] Specifically, the convex ring 5 is formed by a protrusion from the bottom of the barrel body 12 toward the barrel mouth of the barrel body 12. The number of the convex rings 5 ​​can be increased or reduced according to the size of the barrel body 12 and the actual capacity of the barrel body 12. For the convenience of understanding and explanation, in the present embodiment, the number of the convex rings 5 ​​is set to eight. The eight convex rings 5 ​​are gradually expanded from the geometric center of the bottom of the barrel body 12 to the edge of the barrel body 12, and the distance between any two adjacent convex rings 5 ​​is the same.

[0048] Correspondingly, the bottom of the barrel body 12 is arched upward toward the open end of the barrel body 12, so that the bottom of the barrel body 12 is upwardly convex toward the barrel mouth of the barrel body 12. Because the bottom of the barrel body 12 is arched upward toward the open end of the barrel body 12, the probability of uneven heating of the popcorn during microwave processing due to the popcorn gathering in the middle of the bottom of the barrel body 12 is reduced, thereby reducing the probability of the popcorn having a poor taste after processing.

[0049] Its function is that when the user makes and / or contains popcorn in the barrel body 12, the guiding and limiting effects of the eight convex rings 5 ​​make the popcorn relatively evenly distributed in the barrel body 12, thereby reducing the probability of popcorn accumulating at the same location along the barrel body 12, which is beneficial to improving the user experience when taking popcorn along the barrel body 12, and at the same time is beneficial to further increase the uniformity of heating of the popcorn to be processed placed in the barrel body 12, so that the taste of each part of the popcorn after processing is consistent.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 A clamping piece 9 is provided on the cover body 11, and a clamping groove 10 is provided on the barrel mouth of the barrel body 12. When the cover body 11 is covered on the barrel body 12, the clamping piece 9 is clamped and matched with the clamping groove 10.

[0051] Specifically, a boss 14 is provided in a ring shape at the mouth of the barrel body 12, which helps to increase the stability of the mouth of the barrel body 12 and to a certain extent solves the problem that the mouth of the barrel body 12 is deformed to a large extent when the user holds the container 1 because the mouth of the barrel body 12 is relatively soft.

[0052] Furthermore, the clamping part 9 includes a clamping portion 91 and a connecting portion 92. The connecting portion 92 is located on the surface of the cover body 11 facing the barrel mouth of the barrel body 12. The connecting portion 92 is arranged in a ring shape, and the fixed end of the connecting portion 92 is integrally formed with the cover body 11. At the same time, the clamping portion 91 is arranged in a ring shape and is integrally formed with the free end of the connecting portion 92, and the width of the clamping portion 91 is greater than the width of the connecting portion 92.

[0053] Meanwhile, the clamping groove 10 is annularly formed along the upper surface of the boss 14 , and the clamping groove 10 is formed by the boss 14 being recessed along the thickness direction. The contour of the clamping groove 10 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the clamping member 9 .

[0054] Therefore, when the cover body 11 is covered on the barrel body 12, the snap-fitting piece 9 is snap-fitted with the snap-fitting groove 10. At this time, the connecting portion 92 is located in the snap-fitting groove 10, so that the cover body 11 can be stably covered on the barrel mouth of the barrel body 12. When the cover body 11 is not affected by external force, the cover body 11 can be stably covered on the barrel body 12, reducing the probability of the cover body 11 falling off along the barrel body 12 due to looseness in the fit between the cover body 11 and the barrel body 12.

[0055] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 In any figure, a hanging hole 6 is opened on the barrel mouth of the barrel body 12, a pull ear 7 is provided on the cover body 11, and a cover removal groove 8 is provided on the barrel body 12. When the cover body 11 covers the barrel mouth of the barrel body 12, the pull ear 7 is located in the cover removal groove 8.

[0056] Specifically, handles 13 are provided at the two edges of the boss 14 from the geometric center of the boss 14 as the symmetry line. The handles 13 are extended outward along the side wall of the boss 14. The handles 13 and the boss 14 are integrally formed to facilitate the user to hold or shift the container 1.

[0057] Furthermore, a hanging hole 6 is provided on one of the handles 13, and the hanging hole 6 is formed through the thickness direction of the handle 13. When the user does not need to use the container 1, the cover body 11 can be covered on the barrel body 12, and then the container 1 can be hung with a hook to facilitate storage of the container 1, which plays a positive guiding role in improving the neatness of the container 1.

[0058] At the same time, the pull ear 7 is formed to extend outward along the side wall of the cover body 11, and the pull ear 7 is integrally formed with the cover body 11. The cover removal groove 8 is formed to be concave along the thickness direction of the other handle 13, and the contour of the cover removal groove 8 is adapted to the contour of the pull ear 7. When the cover body 11 is covered on the barrel body 12, the pull ear 7 is located in the cover removal groove 8.

[0059] Therefore, when the user needs to remove the cover 11 along the barrel body 12, the user can use the fingers to pull the pull ear 7 along the cover removal groove 8 through the cooperation between the cover removal groove 8 and the pull ear 7, so as to remove the cover 11 along the barrel body 12, which is easy to operate.

[0060] The implementation principle of a silicone container 1 in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the cover body 11 and the barrel body 12 are both made of silicone material, so that it has high temperature resistance and stable chemical properties, which meets the heating requirements of a microwave oven. The popcorn to be processed is placed in the barrel body 12 and covered with the cover body 11, and the silicone container 1 is placed in a microwave oven. When the microwave oven starts working, the popcorn in the silicone container 1 starts to heat up, and the moisture in the popcorn or the gas in the barrel body 12 will be dispersed along the exhaust portion 2, thereby reducing the amount of water vapor accumulated on the barrel body 12 and / or the cover body 11, and reducing the probability of the water vapor on the barrel body 12 and / or the cover body 11 being absorbed by the popcorn again after the popcorn processing is completed, thereby affecting the edible taste of the popcorn. At the same time, when the popcorn processing is completed, the popcorn can be directly placed in the silicone container 1 without the need for secondary packaging, which plays a positive guiding role in making and maintaining short-term storage of popcorn.

[0061] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
