Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of daily necessities, and in particular to a storage box. Background Art

[0002] Some existing sealed containers include a box body with a receiving cavity and a lid, wherein the box body and the lid are detachably connected and seal the receiving cavity when engaged. Sealed containers, such as lunch boxes, may be used to heat food. Accordingly, the lid is provided with a vent hole and a movable slider for sealing the vent hole. However, the vent hole extends in a direction inconsistent with the sliding direction of the slider. Therefore, to ensure tightness, a sealing rubber ring is provided over the vent hole. The opening of the slider and the sealing rubber ring cooperate to seal the receiving cavity. Over time, if the sealing rubber ring ages, it is easy to cause the opening to be loosely sealed, thereby reducing the sealing effect of the sealed container. Utility Model Content

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component. When a component is referred to as being "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] In this application, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly indicate the number or order of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0044] See Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides a storage box 1000, comprising a box body 100, a box lid 200, and a sliding member 300. The box body 100 has a receiving cavity 110 with an open top. The receiving cavity 110 can be used to store food, etc. The box lid 200 can be sealed with the box body 100 to seal the receiving cavity 110. The box lid 200 is provided with a through hole 231 that connects the receiving cavity 110 with the external atmosphere. When the through hole 231 is blocked, the receiving cavity 110 is sealed. When the through hole 231 is opened, the receiving cavity 110 is unsealed.

[0045] The slider 300 includes a sealing portion 310 , which is slidably mounted on the box cover 200 and has a sealed state in which the sealing portion 310 is inserted into the through-hole 231 to seal the accommodating cavity 110 , and an open state in which the sealing portion 310 is separated from the through-hole 231 . The insertion of the sealing portion 310 into the through-hole 231 increases the mating area between the two compared to the prior art, thereby improving the sealing performance and maintaining a good seal even after long-term use. For ease of description, the sealed state and open state described below for the storage box and the slider refer to the sealed state and open state of the sealing portion.

[0046] The sliding direction of the slider 300 is consistent with the extending direction of the through hole 231, so that the blocking portion 310 has less resistance when inserted into the through hole 231. In one embodiment, the blocking portion 310 is a columnar structure, and the box cover 200 is provided with a sealing member 230 with a through hole 231. In the figure, the sealing member 230 is an elastic rubber ring. The box cover 200 has a mounting hole, and the sealing rubber ring has a slot that engages with the mounting hole. In a sealed state, the blocking portion 310 is inserted into the through hole 231 and squeezes the sealing member 230 to achieve a seal.

[0047] In one embodiment, the box lid 200 includes a top wall 210 and a skirt 220. The top wall 210 is partially sunken to form a first recessed groove 211. The first recessed groove 211 creates a height difference. A through hole 231 is provided in the side wall of the first recessed groove 211. The sliding member 300 includes a driving portion 320 that is slidably mounted within the first recessed groove 211, and a blocking portion 310 is disposed on one side of the driving portion 320. The driving portion 320 is manually operated. The skirt 220 connects to the edge of the top wall 210 and surrounds the open edge of the box body 100. The blocking portion 310 and the through hole 231 are disposed in the first recessed groove 211 and maintain a relatively flat top wall 210, resulting in a simpler appearance. In the figure, the skirt 220 has a raised portion 222 that is higher than the top wall 210, making it easier to grip the storage box 1000.

[0048] In one embodiment, the edge 220 has a notch 221, and the slider 300 includes an operating portion 330. The operating portion 330 is connected to the side of the driving portion 320 facing away from the blocking portion 310 and is slidably disposed in the notch 221. The operating portion 330 is raised in height relative to the driving portion 320 to facilitate finger pressure for sliding operation. Preferably, when the slider 300 is in the sealed state, the operating portion 330 and the raised portion 222 are flush, resulting in a simpler appearance.

[0049] In one embodiment, the opening of the box body 100 has an outer flange 120, and the operating portion 330 has a bent portion 331 extending inward from the outer edge. Figure 5 As shown, the sliding member 300 is in a sealed state, and the bent portion 331 is located below the outer flange 120 to limit the separation of the box cover 200 and the box body 100. Figure 6 As shown, when the sliding member 300 switches to the open state, the bent portion 331 releases the restriction on the outer flange 120. At this time, the accommodating cavity 110 is the same as the outside, and the internal and external pressures are balanced, making it easy to remove the box cover 200 from the box body 100.

[0050] In the figure, a snap-fit structure is provided between the bent portion 331 and the outer flange 120, and the snap-fit structure includes:

[0051] The clamping block 332 is disposed on the bending portion 331;

[0052] The latching groove 121 is provided on the outer flange 120 and cooperates with the latching block 332. When the latching structure is engaged and in the absence of external force (eg, without human operation), the sliding member 300 can be restricted from sliding to the open state.

[0053] In one embodiment, at least one abutment portion 322 protrudes from the bottom surface of the driving portion 320. This abutment portion 322 abuts against the bottom surface of the first recessed groove 211, creating a clearance fit between the bottom surfaces of the driving portion 320 and the bottom surface of the first recessed groove 211. This prevents the top surface of the driving portion 320 from collapsing when the slider 300 is operated, and also reduces the contact area, thereby lowering sliding friction and ensuring smoother sliding. Further preferably, the abutment portions 322 are spaced apart, and are located at least at the ends and center of the driving portion 320.

[0054] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first recess 211 has two side walls perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding member 300, each of which is provided with a spring catch 340 corresponding to the sliding member 300. The spring catch 340 has a limit block 341 that extends into the limit groove 213 to prevent the sliding member 300 from exiting the first recess 211. Preferably, a stopper 214 is provided protruding from the limit groove 213. The stopper 214 acts on both ends of the limit block 341 in the sealed state and the open state to prevent the sliding member 300 from sliding accidentally.

[0055] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9 In another embodiment, the top wall 210 is partially sunken to form a second sink 212, which is used to place tableware. The storage box 1000 also includes a cover 400, which is detachably mounted above the box cover 200 and is at least used to cover the second sink 212, thereby achieving a certain dust-proof effect.

[0056] When the storage box of the present application is in a sealed state, the sealing part is inserted into the through hole to increase the matching area between the two, thereby improving the sealing performance. Compared with the existing technology, the storage box still maintains good sealing performance after long-term use.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined in any manner. To simplify the description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there are no conflicts in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features in different embodiments are reflected in the same figure, it can be regarded as that figure also discloses the combination examples of the various embodiments involved.

[0058] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art could make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
