Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of milk powder can accessories, and more specifically, to a vacuum one-way valve of a milk powder cover. Background Art

[0002] After the milk powder can is opened for the first time, its sealing will be reduced, which will seriously affect the shelf life of the milk powder. During the period of the return of the south wind in southern China, the opened milk powder will even become damp and clump within a week, affecting the baby's drinking.

[0003] To this end, the patent document with announcement number CN217101298U provides a vacuum milk powder cover, which mainly extracts the gas inside the milk powder can through the cooperation of a rubber airbag, a first spring and two one-way valves, so that a vacuum sealing effect is formed inside the milk powder can, thereby extending the shelf life of the milk powder.

[0004] However, the rubber airbag in the above patent is essentially a bellows-type airbag. After being pressed multiple times, it is easy to crack at the connection between the corrugations, which in turn affects the vacuuming effect of the milk powder can. In addition, the rubber airbag is prone to non-vertical deformation during the pressing process (such as the compression amount on the left and right sides of the rubber airbag is inconsistent, resulting in one side being higher and the other side being lower). When the rubber airbag is pressed quickly, the hand feel is not good, which greatly affects the experience. Utility Model Content

[0025] The utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] The utility model provides a vacuum one-way valve for a milk powder cover, such as Figure 1-6As shown, it comprises a first cylinder body 1, a first spring 2 and a first sealing ring 3; a first cylinder head 4 is arranged on the top of the first cylinder body 1, a piston 14 is slidably arranged inside the first cylinder body 1 to divide its internal space into a first normal pressure chamber 12 and a second normal pressure chamber 13, and a first groove 141 for accommodating the first spring 2 is provided on the piston 14; the lower end of the first spring 2 is pressed against the bottom of the first cylinder body 1, and the upper end thereof is pressed against the piston 14 to push the piston 14 against the first cylinder head 4; a second groove 142 for accommodating the first sealing ring 3 is provided on the outer wall of the piston 14, the inner ring of the first sealing ring 3 is sleeved with the piston 14, and the outer ring of the first sealing ring 3 is pressed against the first cylinder body 1; a second groove 142 is provided for accommodating the first spring 2 A third groove 143 is provided to connect a normal pressure chamber 12 with a second normal pressure chamber 13; a first air hole 11 is provided at the bottom of the first cylinder body 1, a second cylinder body 15 is provided at the bottom of the first cylinder body 1 and outside the first air hole 11, a second cylinder head 16 is provided at the top of the second cylinder body 15, and a second air hole 161 is provided on the second cylinder head 16; the second normal pressure chamber 13 is connected with the internal space of the milk powder can through the first air hole 11 and the second air hole 161; a sealing gasket 17 for movably blocking the first air hole 11 is accommodated in the second cylinder body 15; a pressing rod 144 is provided in the middle of the piston 14 and passes through the first cylinder head 4; a third air hole 41 is provided on the first cylinder head 4 for connecting the first normal pressure chamber 12 with the external environment.

[0027] In this embodiment group, the first cylinder body 1 is a plastic part with a cylindrical structure, and its upper part is fixedly connected to the first cylinder head 4 by existing methods such as thread, hot melt or glue bonding. The piston 14 slides up and down in the first cylinder body 1, and a pressing rod 144 is integrally formed on its top; a first annular groove 141 is provided on the inner side wall of the piston 14, and a second annular groove 14 is provided on the outer side wall, and the first sealing ring 3 is located in the second groove 14, which is convenient for improving the vacuum effect. The first air hole 11 is provided at the center of the bottom plate of the first cylinder body 1, and the second cylinder body 15 is a cylinder surrounded by the first air hole 11 and is integrally formed with the first cylinder body 1. The top of the second cylinder body 15 is fixedly connected to the second cylinder head 16 by existing methods such as buckling, hot melt or glue bonding, and the second air hole 161 is provided at the center of the second cylinder head 16. The sealing gasket 17 is circular, made of soft and easily deformable materials such as silicone, and is placed at the bottom of the second cylinder body 15 and directly above the first air hole 11. The number of the third groove 143 is at least one, and its function is to prevent the first normal pressure chamber 12 and the second normal pressure chamber 13 from being completely sealed by the first sealing ring 3; the third air hole 41 (see Figure 6 ) is opened on the first cylinder head 4 and the position can be set as required.

[0028] The utility model needs to be used in combination with the existing milk powder cover, such as setting the first cylinder body 1 in an integrally formed manner on the milk powder cover body in the CN217101298U patent, and in the absence of external force, the upper end of the first spring 2 pushes the piston 14 to press against the first cylinder cover 4; its vacuum pumping principle is as follows: ① Press the pressing rod 144 downward, the piston 14 slides downward, the volume of the first normal pressure chamber 12 increases, the volume of the second normal pressure chamber 13 decreases, the air pressure in the second normal pressure chamber 13 increases, and the sealing gasket 17 is deformed by force to block the first air hole 11, causing the compressed gas in the second normal pressure chamber 13 to enter the first normal pressure chamber 12 through the third groove 143, and then enter the external environment through the third air hole 41. ② Remove the external force, the first spring 2 recovers its elastic deformation, quickly pushes the piston 14 to slide upward, the volume of the second normal pressure chamber 13 increases and the internal air pressure decreases, the sealing gasket 17 no longer blocks the first air hole 11, so that part of the gas in the milk powder can enters the second normal pressure chamber 13 through the first air hole 11 and the second air hole 161, then enters the first normal pressure chamber 12 through the third groove 143, and then enters the external environment through the third air hole 41. Steps ① and ② are a vacuum cycle, which can only extract part of the gas in the milk powder can. Repeating the cycle 3-5 times can make the vacuum degree in the milk powder can meet the long-term moisture-proof sealing requirements.

[0029] It can be seen that the utility model first forms a vacuum system through the mutual cooperation of the first cylinder body 1, the first cylinder head 4, the piston 14, the first sealing ring 3, the first spring 2 and the pressing rod 144, and then extracts the gas in the milk powder can into the second normal pressure chamber 13 through the vacuum system, and further forms a one-way valve through the mutual cooperation of the second cylinder body 15, the second cylinder head 16, the sealing gasket 17 and the first cylinder body 1 to prevent the gas in the external environment from entering the interior of the milk powder can through the second normal pressure chamber 13, so that the interior of the milk powder can forms a vacuum sealing effect, thereby extending the shelf life of the milk powder. Secondly, the first cylinder body 1 is made of a certain thickness of hard plastic, and even if it is subjected to multiple sliding frictions of the first sealing ring 3, it will not be damaged, and can maintain the vacuum effect for a long time, thereby overcoming the problem that the rubber airbag in the CN217101298U patent is easy to crack and easy to deform in a non-vertical direction. In addition, during the pressing process, the pressing rod 144 always slides in the vertical direction, and has a better pressing feel compared with the rubber airbag.

[0030] Furthermore, a bell mouth 111 is formed on the upper surface of the first air hole 11 to facilitate the sealing gasket 17 to deform and flexibly seal the first air hole 11 .

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the bell mouth 111 is concave and communicates with the first air hole 11, which can facilitate the deformation of the sealing gasket 17 and thus obtain better sealing performance.

[0032] Furthermore, an anti-sealing boss 162 for preventing the sealing gasket 17 from blocking the second air hole 161 is provided on the lower surface of the second cylinder body 15 .

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the anti-sealing boss 162 is integrally formed with the second cylinder body 15, and can prevent the sealing gasket 17 from blocking the second air hole 161 during the upward sliding process of the piston 14. The anti-sealing boss 162 is composed of a plurality of protrusions, which are arranged around the second air hole 161. The shape of the protrusions can be a triangle, a trapezoid, a rectangle, etc., and in this embodiment, it is a right-angled trapezoid.

[0034] Furthermore, the middle height of the anti-sealing boss 162 is greater than the peripheral height thereof.

[0035] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the anti-sealing boss 162 is in the shape of a truncated cone as a whole, and its middle height is greater than its outer peripheral height, so as to prevent the sealing gasket 17 from adhering to the bottom of the anti-sealing boss 162 when the piston 14 slides upward.

[0036] Furthermore, a pressing cap 18 is provided on the pressing rod 144 to facilitate pushing the piston 14 to slide up and down.

[0037] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the pressing cap 18 is installed on the top of the pressing rod 144 by existing methods such as threading, snap-fitting, clamping, hot melting or gluing. It is T-shaped, which can increase the contact area with the hand and make it easier to push the piston 14 to slide up and down.

[0038] Furthermore, the pressing rod 144 is provided with a limiting groove 1441 , and the pressing cap 18 is provided with a limiting protrusion 181 corresponding to the limiting groove 1441 , and the limiting protrusion 181 is adapted to the limiting groove 1441 so that the pressing cap 18 is rotatably connected to the pressing rod 144 .

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, under the action of the limiting groove 1441 and the limiting protrusion 181, the pressing cap 18 is rotatably clamped on the pressing rod 144.

[0040] Furthermore, a fourth groove 42 for movably accommodating the pressing cap 18 is formed on the first cylinder cover 4; when the pressing cap 18 is located in the fourth groove 42, the pressing cap 18 is fixed to the first cylinder cover 4 by threaded engagement.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the pressing cap 18 is provided with a first thread, and the first cylinder head 4 is provided with a second thread adapted to the first thread. When the piston 14 moves to the bottom of the first cylinder body 1, the pressing cap 18 is located in the fourth groove 42. At this time, the pressing cap 18 can be fixed on the first cylinder head 4 by rotating it, preventing the pressing cap 18 from protruding from the top of the first cylinder head 4, which can improve the aesthetics on the one hand and prevent the pressing cap 18 from accidentally scratching the skin on the other hand.

[0042] In view of the problem that the rubber airbag in the CN217101298U patent protrudes from the top of the milk powder cover body, the appearance is relatively rough, and the rubber plug plugged into the air inlet is easy to lose. Figure 2-6 The main feature of the milk powder cover shown is the application of the vacuum one-way valve of the above structure. The specific structure is as follows:

[0043] The first cylinder body 1 is in an inverted T-shape, with an emptying hole on its left side, and an emptying pressure rod 5 movably seals the emptying hole. The emptying pressure rod 5 runs through the first cylinder body 1 and the first cylinder head 4. The lower end of the emptying pressure rod 5 is an umbrella structure, and a third sealing ring 52 is sleeved on the outer wall, and a second spring 51 is sleeved in the middle, and a clamping meson 53 is provided at the upper end. Without external force, the emptying pressure rod 5 is in a normally closed state under the action of the second spring 51 and the clamping meson 53. When used to press the emptying pressure rod 5, the third sealing ring 52 no longer seals the emptying hole, and the internal space of the milk powder can is connected to the external environment through the emptying hole. A connecting ring 6 for sealing and fixing on the top of the milk powder can is integrally formed below the first cylinder body 1, and a second sealing ring 7 for improving the sealing between the connecting ring 6 and the milk powder can is inlaid inside the connecting ring 6. The right side of the connecting ring 6 is foldable with the right side of the first cylinder body 1, and its left side is buckled and connected with the left side of the first cylinder body 1. The first cover body 4 is provided with a fifth groove 43 for receiving the milk powder spoon 8, and a cover plate 44 is hingedly connected to the first cover body 4 for covering the fifth groove 43 to prevent the milk powder spoon 8 from falling. The milk powder spoon 8 is provided with a clamping block 81 for driving the pressing cap 18 to rotate, and the pressing cap 18 is provided with a clamping groove 182 adapted to the clamping block 81.

[0044] The use process of this milk powder cover is as follows: ① Tear off the original aluminum sealing film on the milk powder can, fix the connecting ring 6 on the top of the milk powder cover, lift the cover plate 44, take out the milk powder spoon 8, insert the clamping block 81 into the clamping groove 182 and rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise (at this time, the piston 14 is at the highest position under the action of the first spring 2), repeatedly press and draw its pressing cap 18 to complete the vacuum process, and then press the pressing cap 18 into the fourth groove 42 and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise to lock the pressing cap 18 on the first cover body 4. ② When it is necessary to take milk powder, press the emptying pressure rod 5 to make the air pressure in the milk powder can equal the external environment pressure, flip the first cover body 4 to the right to open the milk powder cover to take milk powder, and after taking milk powder, repeat the above steps ① to seal the milk powder can again.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
