Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of storage and storage, in particular to a storage box for recording dates. Background Art

[0002] Sealed food storage can effectively isolate food from the outside environment and reduce the impact of oxygen and moisture on food, which helps to extend the shelf life of food and reduce the risk of food spoilage and corruption. It can also prevent food from external contamination and reduce the entry of microorganisms, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial contamination in food, which is very important for ensuring food safety. Therefore, in order to preserve food and prevent food from becoming damp and moldy, growing moths and other problems, storage boxes or sealed bags are used to seal and store food. While preserving food, it can also reduce the volume of food for easy storage. In addition, many foods now have a shelf life marked on the packaging bag to inform consumers of the use or limited period, protecting the rights and interests of consumers. Generally, customers will pay attention to the shelf life when purchasing goods, but the labeling position of the shelf life of different foods is different, and it is very inconvenient to check the shelf life due to problems such as packaging seals and colors. Therefore, after buying food home, they often ignore the shelf life and cause food expiration, which may lead to health problems. Especially for customers who like to stock up, the lack of attention to the shelf life of food leads to food expiration, which in turn causes food waste. In addition, for bulk unpackaged foods such as rice, flour, grains and beans, after they are sealed in sealed boxes or bags, there is no record of the storage date, so we can only judge their storage time based on impression, but we cannot know their freshness.

[0032] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, a storage box for recording dates includes a box body 1 with a accommodating cavity, a recording device 3 is provided on the box body 1, and the recording device 3 includes a knob 4 protruding from the side wall of the box body 1. In this embodiment, the knob 4 is cylindrical, and a plurality of marks 31 capable of distinguishing dates are provided on the side of the knob 4 away from the box body 1. At the same time, a rotatable adjustment ring 5 is also provided on the knob 4, and the surface of the adjustment ring 5 is flush with the side wall of the knob 4 and / or slightly protrudes from the side wall of the knob 4. An indicating portion is provided on the outer surface of the adjustment ring 5, and the indicating portion can point to any mark 31 as the adjustment ring 5 rotates. Further, the indicating portion is any one or any combination of grooves, concave points, convex points or engraved lines provided on the surface of the adjustment ring; preferably, the indicating portion is a convex ridge 51 protruding from the surface of the adjustment ring 5, and the convex ridge 51 is parallel to the axis of the adjustment ring 5. The adjustment ring 5 is rotated to make the convex ridge 51 align with any mark 31, and the mark 31 pointed to indicates the storage date or expiration date of the food stored in the box body 1. In this embodiment, the mark 31 uses numbers 1-12 to represent months 1 to 12 respectively. Further, the mark 31 that can distinguish the date is evenly arranged on the surface of the knob 4 in the circumferential direction, and the side wall of the knob 4 close to the mark 31 is provided with a circumferential slide groove 41, and the inner wall of the adjustment ring 5 is provided with a ball 52 that cooperates with the slide groove 41. The ball 52 and the adjustment ring 5 are integrally formed, and the ball 52 is clamped in the slide groove 41, so that the adjustment ring 5 is fixed on the knob 4. At the same time, the cross-section of the slide groove 41 is an arc shape and fits with the ball 52, ensuring that the adjustment ring 5 can smoothly rotate around the knob 4, and can make the adjustment ring 5 and the knob 4 have good friction without autonomous relative movement, so that the adjustment ring 5 is fixed at the adjusted position.

[0034] In a preferred case, an opening 11 is provided at the top of the box body 1, and a detachable sealing cover 2 is provided at the opening 11, so that the box body 1 has a large opening, which is convenient for taking and placing the stored food. A sealing ring is provided at the position where the sealing cover 2 contacts the box body 1, and the gap between the box body 1 and the sealing cover 2 is further sealed, which has a good dustproof and moisture-proof effect and ensures a dry environment inside the box body 1. In this embodiment, a storage box 21 is also provided on the sealing cover 2, and a plurality of air holes 22 are provided on the inner wall of the storage box 21. The storage box 21 is connected to the inner cavity of the box body 1 through the air holes 22, and then garlic, pepper and other items can be placed in the storage box 21 to prevent insects from growing in the box body 1 and extend the shelf life of the stored food; further, a card cover 23 is sealed and connected at the opening of the storage box 21 to seal the storage box 21.

[0035] In a preferred case, an outlet 12 is provided on the bottom wall of the box body 1, and the knob 4 is connected to a gate plate 6, and a first through hole 61 is provided on the gate plate 6. When the first through hole 61 is misaligned with the outlet 12, the outlet 12 is in a closed state, isolating the accommodating cavity of the barrel body 1 from the outside world; when the knob 4 is pressed to move the first through hole 61 below the outlet 12 and gradually overlap with the outlet 12, the outlet 12 is in an open state, and the items in the box body 1 flow out through the outlet 12 at this time, so that the storage box can also be used to store rice and flour grains, and can achieve first-in-first-out to prevent the generation of stale rice. Further, the bottom of the box body 1 shrinks towards the outlet 12 in a funnel shape. In another preferred case, the storage box is hung on the wall by a suction cup, which is convenient for receiving the outflowing grains at the lower side of the storage box, while saving storage space.

[0036] In a preferred case, the gate 6 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1 through the mounting seat 7, and a boss 71 is arranged in the mounting seat 7. The gate 6 is installed between the upper surface of the boss 71 and the bottom wall of the box body 1; a plurality of guide edges 72 are arranged on the boss 71, and the guide edges 72 are arranged on both sides of the gate 6, which have the function of guiding and limiting the gate 6 to prevent the gate 6 from being dislocated during movement. An extrusion plate 62 is connected to one end of the gate 6, and a knob 4 is arranged on the extrusion plate 62. A mounting hole 74 is arranged on the side wall of the mounting seat 7, and the knob 4 passes through the mounting hole 74. A spring 8 is arranged between the extrusion plate 62 and the side wall of the boss 71, and a second through hole 73 is arranged at the position of the boss 71 corresponding to the outlet 12, and the second through hole 73 corresponds to the position of the opening 12. Pressing the knob 4, the spring 8 is squeezed and deformed, and the first through hole 61 gradually overlaps with the outlet 12 and the second through hole 73 as the gate 6 moves backward. At this time, the food at the bottom of the storage box loses its support and flows out from the outlet 12. When the knob 4 is released, the spring 8 recovers its deformation and pushes the knob 4 to move toward the outside of the box 1, thereby driving the gate 6 to move, thereby causing the first through hole 61 to be offset from the outlet 12 and the second through hole 73, so that the outlet 12 is closed. Furthermore, the knob 4 is a hollow structure and the boss 71 is provided with a fixing position 75 at a position corresponding to the knob 4. One end of the spring 8 is inserted into the knob 4 and the other end is sleeved on the fixing position 75 to prevent the spring from being squeezed, bent, deformed, or dislocated.

[0037] In a preferred case, the interior of the box body 1 is divided into several chambers by the partition 9, which can realize the storage and storage of multiple grains at the same time. A plurality of slots 13 are provided on the inner wall of the box body 1, and the slots 13 are arranged on the opposite side walls and bottom wall of the box body 1. The edge of the partition 9 is inserted into the slot 13 to divide the interior of the barrel body 1 into several chambers. Preferably, the size of each chamber is inconsistent, and it can be used according to the use requirements. Furthermore, a limit edge 91 cooperating with the slot 13 is provided near the edge of the partition 9. The limit edge 91 limits the insertion depth of the partition 9 and is used as a supporting rib of the partition 9 to prevent the partition 9 from deformation. There is an outlet 12 at the bottom of each chamber, so that the required grains can be directly taken according to the needs, and the taking is convenient and quick. And a recording device 3 is provided on the outside of each chamber to record the storage date or the first use date of the items stored in each chamber separately, which is simple and convenient.

[0038] In another preferred embodiment, the box 1 is a transparent box, which is convenient for observing the types and remaining status of stored items.

[0039] In the above technical solution, after placing food inside the box 1, the sealing cover is closed at the opening 11 to seal the internal space of the box 1 and isolate it from the external environment. And according to the expiration date marked on the packaging bag of the stored food, the adjusting ring 5 is rotated so that the ridge 51 is aligned with the expiration date, and the user can easily see the expiration date of the stored items. For example, when storing unpackaged items such as rice, flour, and grains in the storage box, the adjusting ring 5 can be rotated so that the ridge 51 points to the mark of the start date of food storage, so that the storage time of the food can be clearly understood and the freshness of the food can be ensured; in addition, an outlet 12 is provided at the bottom of the box, so that the stored rice, flour, and grains can flow out from the bottom, achieving a first-in-first-out effect and avoiding the situation of stale rice.

[0040] This embodiment is only an illustration of the concept and implementation of the utility model, and does not limit it. Under the concept of the utility model, technical solutions that have not been substantially changed are still within the scope of protection.
