[0031] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the example embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this utility model will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals in the figures denote like or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0032] The terms "a", "an", "the", etc. are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "comprising" and "having" are used to mean an open inclusion and mean that there may be additional elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.

[0033] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a tea can, as Figures 1-5 shown, the tea can includes a tank body 1, a can lid 2 and a sealing member. The tank body 1 has a tank opening 10 at the top. The can lid 2 is covered on the tank opening 10 and clamped on the outside of the tank body 1. The sealing member is connected to the inside of the can lid 2. When the can lid 2 is connected to the tank body 1, the sealing member covers above the tank opening 10. In this application, when the can lid 2 and the tank body 1 are clamped, the sealing member covers the tank opening 10, which can seal the tank body 1, prevent the tea can from leaking air, and improve the sealing performance of the tea can by using the buckle and sealing member design, reduce the oxidation rate of the tea, and ensure the taste and shelf life of the tea.

[0034] In addition, the existing tea cans are mostly made of tinplate or paper cylinders, and the tea is packaged in food-grade bags. Although the sealing performance of the tea cans can be improved, the packaging of the tea leaves requires more than two layers, which increases the packaging process and cost of the tea. The can body 1 and the can lid 2 in the present application are both made of food-grade PP material. It is only necessary to design a seal at the can mouth 10 to seal it again to achieve the sealing effect of the tea can. Moreover, compared with the traditional spiral structure, the can body 1 and the can lid 2 can be connected by snapping, which can avoid having to rotate multiple times each time it is opened or closed, and can achieve quick opening and closing, which is quick and labor-saving to use and very convenient. By adding a snap-fit structure and a sealing design of a seal such as a foam gasket to the can lid 2 and the can mouth 10, the effect of quick opening and closing and extending the shelf life of the tea can be achieved.

[0035] Thirdly, tea cans can be not only cylindrical, but also rectangular, cube, triangular, hexagonal, octagonal, decagonal, or dodecaprism. Compared to the traditional cylindrical shape, tea cans are more diverse in shape, especially the use of rectangular or cube shapes with chamfered corners, making the product more beautiful and comfortable to the touch. In addition, the magic cube concept is colorful and beautiful, whether it is functionalism or appearance is justice, it is unique and meets the health needs of today's sophisticated young people.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1-5 The can body 1 shown includes a can body main body 11 and a connecting portion 12 formed by shrinking the can body main body 11 upwards. A clamping block 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting portion 12. A clamping portion 21 is provided on the inner wall of the can cover 2 for cooperating with the clamping block 13. When the clamping block 13 is engaged with the clamping portion 21, the bottom of the can cover 2 abuts against the top of the can body main body 11. Figures 1-2 When the can lid 2 and the can body 1 are tightened, and the clamping block 13 is clamped with the clamping portion 21, the bottom of the can lid 2 abuts against the top of the can body 11, thereby achieving a primary seal between the can body 1 and the can lid 2. The secondary seal is achieved by the cooperation of the sealing member and the can mouth 10, which can make the tea can 100% sealed, reduce the oxidation rate of the tea, ensure the taste of the tea, and improve the shelf life of the tea.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1-5The snap-in part 21 shown includes a support base 211, an L-shaped block 212, and a limiting rib 213. The support base 211 is connected to the inner wall of the can lid 2. The L-shaped block 212 is connected to one side of the support base 211 close to the connecting part 12. The L-shaped block 212 includes a vertical section 2121 and a horizontal section 2122 perpendicular to the vertical section 2121. The limiting rib 213 is connected to the horizontal section 2122 and extends upward along the support base 211. Among them, the limiting rib 213 and the L-shaped block 212 enclose a clamping groove 214 for limiting the clamping block 13, and the clamping groove 214 and the clamping block 13 are snap-connected. As shown in the figure, the outer diameter of the can mouth 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the can lid 2. By arranging at least two evenly distributed snap-in parts 21 inside the can lid 2, the circumferential force between the can body 1 and the can lid 2 is more uniform and the connection is tighter. At the same time, as the can lid 2 rotates, the clamping block 13 snaps into or out of the clamping groove 214, realizing the quick opening and closing of the can lid 2, making the can lid 2 quick and labor-saving to use, thus solving the defects of difficult screwing, laboriousness, and air leakage shortening the shelf life of tea leaves brought by traditional screw caps.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-5 shown, the width of the limiting rib 213 is smaller than the width of the horizontal section 2122, and the clamping block 13 is screwed into or out of the clamping groove 214 through the surface of the limiting rib 213. The width in this application refers to the size of the radial cross-section of the can lid 2 where the horizontal section 2122 or the limiting rib 213 is located. Among them, the width of the limiting rib 213 is smaller than the width of the horizontal section 2122, that is, the limiting rib 213 is located inside the horizontal section 2122, so that there is a certain gap between the horizontal section 2122 and the limiting rib 213 to facilitate the clamping block 13 to be screwed into or out of the clamping groove 214, making the opening and closing of the can lid 2 faster and more labor-saving.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-5 shown, the free end of the horizontal section 2122 is inclined downward along the inner wall of the can lid 2 to form a transition section 2123, and the clamping block 13 can rotate upward along the transition section 2123 and enter the clamping groove 214. By using the transition section 2123 that rotates from bottom to top, the clamping block 13 can be better rotated and slid into the clamping groove 214, realizing the guiding effect on the clamping block 13, and at the same time making the snap connection of the can lid 2 smoother.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-5 shown, the cross-section of the support base 211 is U-shaped, and a support cavity 210 is formed between the support base 211 and the inner wall of the can lid 2. In this application, the cross-section refers to the section made perpendicular to the axis of the can lid 2. Through the support cavity 210, the force received by the clamping groove 214 during the screwing process can be dispersed, improving the strength of the L-shaped block 212 and the support base 211 and the service life of the product.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, asFigures 1-5 The seal shown includes a foamed gasket. The foamed gasket is arranged inside the middle of the can lid 2. The diameter of the foamed gasket matches the sizes of the can lid 2 and the can mouth 10, and its thickness is 1.0 - 1.5 mm. After the clamping block 13 on the connecting part 12 is clamped with the clamping groove 214, the can lid 2 and the can body 1 are tightened. At this time, the can mouth 10 is closely attached to the outside of the foamed gasket. After testing, even when filled with liquid, it will not leak when inverted and shaken, the airtight function is improved by 100%, the oxidation rate of the tea is reduced, and the shelf life of the tea is extended.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-5 shown, a support ring 22 for installing the foamed gasket is arranged at the inner top of the can lid 2, and the number of the support rings 22 is at least one. The support ring 22 can support the foamed gasket. When the can lid 2 is tightened, it can make the foamed gasket and the can mouth 10 closely attached, improving the sealing effect of the tea can.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-5 shown, there are multiple support rings 22, and the multiple support rings 22 are arranged concentrically. The support ring 22 located at the outermost of the can lid 2 is the first support ring 221, and a plurality of uniformly distributed reinforcing ribs 23 are arranged on the inner wall of the first support ring 221. The diameters of the multiple support rings 22 are different and arranged concentrically, effectively supporting the foamed gasket. In addition, since the can mouth 10 also abuts against the first support ring 221 and is closely attached to the foamed gasket here, the reinforcing ribs 23 can effectively increase the strength of the first support ring 221, improving the structural strength and service life of the can lid 2.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-5 shown, the outer wall of the first support ring 221 extends downward to form a plurality of spaced-apart limiting protrusions 24, and the extension lines of the plurality of limiting protrusions 24 together form a limiting ring. The foamed gasket and the connecting part 12 are respectively clamped to the limiting ring. As Figures 4-5 shown, the extension lines of the plurality of limiting protrusions 24 together form a limiting ring. The foamed gasket is inserted into the limiting ring and is in clearance fit with it. The top surface of the foamed gasket abuts against the support ring 22, and the two can be connected by bonding to avoid the foamed gasket shifting after the can lid 2 is opened multiple times, affecting the sealing performance and use experience of the tea can.
