[0028] To facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the present invention, specific implementations of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the utility model provides a silicone fresh-keeping box with an air valve, comprising a glass bowl body 3 and a silicone cover 1, wherein the silicone cover 1 is connected to a silicone air valve 2. The silicone cover 1 is an integrally formed structure.

[0030] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a sinking groove is arranged above the silicone cover 1, and a boss 11 and an air hole 12 are arranged in the sinking groove.

[0031] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the silicone gas valve 2 is an integrally formed structure, including an integrally connected fixing portion 21, a sealing portion 22, and a connecting portion 23 located between the fixing portion 21 and the sealing portion 22. The fixing portion 21 is used to connect with the silicone cover 1, the sealing portion 22 includes a sealing plug 221 to seal the air hole 12, and a crescent opening 231 is provided on the connecting portion 23. When an external force squeezes the crescent opening 231 to make it stuck on the boss 11 so that the sealing portion 22 stands up, the sealing portion 22 is moved by an external force using the resilience of the silicone so that the crescent opening 231 is separated from the boss 11 and the sealing portion 22 is no longer standing up.

[0032] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, in order to keep the connection part 23 of the silicone gas valve 2 flush with the sealing part 22 and the fixing part 21 and look beautiful, a slot 233 matching the boss 11 is provided at the connection part 23 corresponding to the boss 11 .

[0033] like Figure 7 , 8As shown, in order to use less force and enable the sealing portion 22 to be bent and erected quickly or to cancel the bending and erecting, a bending groove 232 is provided along the bending direction at the connecting portion 23 located below the crescent opening 231 .

[0034] Specifically, a fixing plug 211 is disposed at the bottom of the fixing portion 21 , and a snap-fitting groove 13 for snap-fitting with the fixing plug 211 is provided on the silicone cover 1 .

[0035] The shape of the sink groove provided on the upper part of the silicone cover 1 is the same as the outer contour of the silicone air valve 2. Figure 3 As shown, from the perspective of ergonomics, in order to facilitate the user to open the sealing part 22 of the silicone air valve 2, the end of the sink close to the sealing part 22 is extended outward to form an arc groove 141. The function of the arc groove 141 is to facilitate the fingers to reach in to pull the sealing part 22 to facilitate the opening of the silicone air valve 2.

[0036] like Figure 9 As shown, in order to enhance the sealing performance between the silicone cover 1 and the glass bowl body 3 , a sealing wing 15 is obliquely extended from the lower portion of the silicone cover 1 to achieve extrusion contact with the inner wall of the glass bowl body 3 .

[0037] like Figure 2 , 9 As shown, in order to enhance the sealing performance of the silicone cover 1 and the glass bowl body 3, the upper inner wall of the glass bowl body 3 extends outward to form an extension platform 31, and the end of the extension platform 31 is located at the bottom surface to form a first limiting protrusion 32. A connecting structure 16 matched with the extension platform 31 is formed at the side of the silicone cover 1, and a second limiting protrusion 17 matched with the first limiting protrusion 32 is provided on the connecting structure 16 to form a snap-fit ​​connection, so that the silicone cover 1 and the glass bowl body 3 can be fitted and sealed.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate opening the cover, handles 18 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the silicone cover 1. The handles 18 extend downward to form ears, which are convenient for grasping by hand and facilitate quick and effortless opening of the silicone cover.

[0039] Working process:

[0040] Food is placed in a silica gel fresh-keeping box. In the initial state, the silica gel air valve 2 is closed. When it is necessary to heat it in a microwave oven, an oven or a steamer, open the sealing plug 221 of the silica gel air valve 2 to expose the air hole 12. Squeeze the crescent opening 231 with your finger so that the crescent opening 231 is stuck on the boss 11, and the sealing part 22 is bent and erected. It can be directly seen that the silica gel air valve 2 is in the open state. After the heating is completed, when it is necessary to cancel the bent and erected state of the air valve, just use your finger to move the sealing part 22 in the direction of the connecting part 23. Due to the resilience of the silica gel, the crescent opening 231 is released from the restraint of the engagement with the boss 11, and the sealing part 22 cancels the bent and erected state. The silica gel air valve 2 is in a natural state. Press the sealing part 22 to block the air hole 12 with the sealing plug 221 to close the silica gel air valve 2.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
