[0066] In some embodiments, the door 2 may include a door liner 22. The door liner 22 may be disposed on the back side of the door shell 21. A foam layer may be formed between the door liner 22 and the door shell 21. The foam layer may be filled with a foam material to achieve heat preservation and thermal insulation properties of the door 2.
[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the refrigeration unit may include a door shelf 23. The door shelf 23 may be disposed on the side wall of the door 2 facing the refrigeration compartment. Thus, items can be placed on the door 2 via the door shelf 23, thereby fully utilizing the space in the refrigeration compartment and on the door 2.
[0068] In some embodiments, there may be multiple door shelves 23, and the multiple door shelves 23 may be arranged in an upper and lower order. It should be noted that the number of door shelves 23 and the spacing between adjacent door shelves 23 can be adjusted as needed and are not limited here.
[0069] In some embodiments, the door liner 22 may be provided with protruding ribs 221. The ribs 221 may be arranged vertically. Two ribs 221 may be provided, spaced apart from each other. The door shelf 23 may be positioned between the two vertically arranged ribs 221. In this manner, the ribs 221 secure the door shelf 23 to the door liner 22, thereby stably securing the door shelf 23 to the side wall of the door 2.
[0070] In some embodiments, the door shelf 23 can be detachably mounted on the cabinet door 2. The door shelf 23 can be detachably mounted on the ribs 221 of the door liner 22.
[0071] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the door shelf 23 may also be integrally formed in the door liner 22 , so that the door shelf 23 may be integrally formed on the side wall of the box door 2 .
[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the refrigeration device may include a vacuum fresh-keeping container 3. The vacuum fresh-keeping container 3 may be mounted on the refrigerator door 2. The vacuum fresh-keeping container 3 may be supported on the door shelf 23. A storage cavity 310 may be formed within the vacuum fresh-keeping container 3. The interior of the vacuum fresh-keeping container 3 may be evacuated to create a vacuum storage environment within the storage cavity 310. In this manner, the vacuum fresh-keeping container 3 may be used to store food in a vacuum-preserved manner at low temperatures.
[0073] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The structure diagram of the door 2 shown is in another state.
[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the refrigeration device may include a vacuuming component. The vacuuming component can be used to vacuum the vacuum preservation box 3, thereby forming a vacuum storage environment inside the vacuum preservation box 3.
[0075] In some embodiments, the vacuuming assembly may include a vacuum pump (not shown). The vacuum pump may be located inside the door 2. The vacuum pump may be connected to the storage cavity 310 within the vacuum preservation box 3. Thus, the vacuum pump may be used to evacuate the storage cavity 310 within the vacuum preservation box 3, thereby creating a vacuum storage environment within the storage cavity 310 within the vacuum preservation box 3.
[0076] In some embodiments, the vacuum assembly may include a vacuum connector 4. The vacuum pump's exhaust port may be connected to the vacuum connector 4. The vacuum connector 4 may be configured to connect to the storage cavity 310 within the vacuum preservation container 3. The vacuum pump may then evacuate the storage cavity 310 within the vacuum preservation container 3 via the vacuum connector 4, thereby creating a vacuum storage environment within the storage cavity 310 within the vacuum preservation container 3.
[0077] In some embodiments, the vacuum assembly may include a vacuum line (not shown). The vacuum line may be disposed between the vacuum pump and the vacuum connector 4. One end of the vacuum line may be connected to the vacuum pump. The other end of the vacuum line may be connected to the vacuum connector 4. Thus, the vacuum pump's exhaust end may be connected to the vacuum connector 4 via the vacuum line, allowing the vacuum pump to evacuate the interior of the vacuum storage box 3 via the vacuum line and the vacuum connector 4.
[0078] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the vacuum joint 4 is flippably provided on the door 2. When the vacuum joint 4 is flipped, the vacuum joint 4 can be connected to or separated from the inside of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3 on the door 2. When the vacuum joint 4 is flipped and separated from the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3, the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3 can be taken out from the door 2. When the vacuum joint 4 is flipped and connected to the inside of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3, the vacuum joint 4 can vacuum the storage cavity 310 inside the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3 to form a vacuum preservation environment in the storage cavity 310 inside the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3. In this way, the flip design of the vacuum joint 4 can facilitate the user to vacuum the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3 on the door 2 without affecting the taking and placing of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3.
[0079] In some embodiments, the vacuum connector 4 is reversibly disposed above the door shelf 23. When the vacuum container 3 is placed on the door shelf 23, the vacuum connector 4 can be flipped downward and aligned with the top surface of the vacuum container 3, allowing the vacuum pump to vacuum the interior of the vacuum container 3 via the vacuum pipeline and the vacuum connector 4. When the vacuum connector 4 is flipped upward, it can be separated from the top surface of the vacuum container 3, allowing the vacuum container 3 to be removed from the door shelf 23.
[0080] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the vacuum joint 4 can also be movably provided on the door 2. When the vacuum joint 4 can also be moved to the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3 and docked with the interior of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3, the vacuum pump can sequentially vacuum the interior of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3 through the vacuum pipe and the vacuum joint 4.
[0081] In addition, in some other embodiments, the vacuum assembly may not include the vacuum connector 4. The vacuum pump may also be directly connected to the interior of the vacuum preservation box 3 through a vacuum pipeline.
[0082] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The structural diagram of the vacuum preservation box 3 is shown.
[0083] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the vacuum storage box 3 can be detachably supported on the door shelf 23. When the vacuum joint 4 is flipped, the vacuum joint 4 can be aligned with or separated from the top surface of the vacuum storage box 3. Thus, when the vacuum storage box 3 needs to be vacuumed, the vacuum joint 4 can be flipped downward so that the vacuum joint 4 can be aligned with the top surface of the vacuum storage box 3, thereby vacuuming the interior of the vacuum storage box 3. When the vacuum storage box 3 needs to be removed or placed, the vacuum joint 4 can be flipped upward so that the vacuum joint 4 can be separated from the top surface of the vacuum storage box 3, thereby allowing the vacuum storage box 3 to be smoothly removed and placed on the door shelf 23.
[0084] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the decomposition structure.
[0085] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the vacuum preservation box 3 may include a box body 31 and a box lid 32. The box body 31 has an opening at the top. A storage cavity 310 may be formed inside the box body 31. The box lid 32 may be detachably mounted on the top opening of the box body 31, and the storage cavity 310 may be opened or closed by the box lid 32.
[0086] In some embodiments, a vacuum port 321 may be provided on the top surface of the lid 32. When the vacuum connector 4 is flipped over, it can connect or disconnect with the vacuum port 321 on the top surface of the vacuum preservation box 3. Thus, when the vacuum preservation box 3 needs to be vacuumed, the vacuum connector 4 can be flipped downward so that it can connect with the vacuum port 321 on the top surface of the vacuum preservation box 3. This allows a vacuum pump to vacuum the interior of the vacuum preservation box 3 through the vacuum connector 4 and the vacuum port 321.
[0087] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the vacuum port 321 may not be provided on the top surface of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3. The vacuum port 321 may also be provided on other side walls of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3. In this case, the vacuum connector 4 may be reversibly disposed on one side of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3, or movably disposed on one side of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3, to facilitate connection and disconnection of the vacuum connector 4 with the vacuum port 321.

[0089] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the vacuum preservation box 3 may include a sealing ring 33. The sealing ring 33 may be provided between the box cover 32 and the box body 31 to seal the gap between the box cover 32 and the box body 31, thereby achieving sealing of the vacuum preservation box 3.
[0090] In some embodiments, the sealing ring 33 can be annular. The sealing ring 33 can be disposed at the peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the box cover 32. When the box cover 32 is closed on the top opening of the box body 31, the sealing ring 33 can be supported on the top area of the peripheral side wall of the box body 31, so that the sealing ring 33 can be clamped between the peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the box cover 32 and the top of the peripheral side wall of the box body 31, thereby sealing the gap between the box cover 32 and the box body 31, thereby achieving a sealed vacuum fresh-keeping box 3.

[0092] like Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the vacuum preservation box 3 may include a vacuum air valve 34. The vacuum air valve 34 may be provided at the vacuum port 321. The vacuum air valve 34 may be used to seal the vacuum port 321, thereby sealing the storage cavity 310 inside the vacuum preservation box 3.
[0093] In some embodiments, the vacuum air valve 34 may include a column portion 341. The column portion 341 may be provided at the vacuum port 321. The outer diameter of the column portion 341 may be smaller than the inner diameter of the vacuum port 321, so that a first ventilation gap (not shown) is formed between the outer wall of the column portion 341 and the inner wall of the vacuum port 321. When the vacuum joint 4 vacuums the vacuum port 321, the column portion 341 may be forced to move upward, and the air inside the vacuum preservation box 3 may be extracted through the first ventilation gap, thereby forming a vacuum environment inside the vacuum preservation box 3.
[0094] like Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the vacuum air valve 34 may include a sealing portion 342. The sealing portion 342 may be provided at the top of the vacuum air valve 34. The sealing portion 342 may be provided on the circumferential side of the top of the column portion 341. The column portion 341 is annular and is circumferentially arranged around the circumferential side of the top of the column portion 341. A sealing surface 322 may be formed on the top surface of the box cover 32. The sealing surface 322 may be arranged around the circumferential side of the top opening of the vacuum port 321. The sealing portion 342 may protrude from the top of the vacuum port 321. The sealing portion 342 may be provided above the sealing surface 322. The sealing portion 342 may be used to abut against the sealing surface 322 to achieve sealing of the vacuum port 321, thereby sealing the storage cavity 310 inside the vacuum preservation box 3.
[0095] Figure 11 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the layout is shown. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the local enlarged structure.
[0096] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, when the vacuum joint 4 is vacuuming the vacuum port 321, the sealing portion 342 can be forced to move upward, forming a second ventilation gap (not shown) between the bottom surface of the sealing portion 342 and the sealing surface 322. The second ventilation gap is connected to the first ventilation gap, thereby allowing the storage cavity 310 inside the vacuum storage box 3 to communicate with the vacuum joint 4 through the first ventilation gap and the second ventilation gap. At this time, the vacuum pump can extract air from the vacuum storage box 3 through the vacuum joint 4, thereby vacuuming the interior of the vacuum storage box 3.
[0097] When the vacuum preservation box 3 is evacuated, negative pressure may be formed inside the vacuum preservation box 3. The sealing portion 342 may be tightly attached to the sealing surface 322 under the action of the internal and external pressure difference, thereby sealing the vacuum extraction port 321 and further sealing the storage cavity 310 inside the vacuum preservation box 3.
[0098] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, when the vacuum preservation box 3 needs to be opened, the sealing portion 342 can be moved upward by external force, so that a second ventilation gap can be formed between the bottom surface of the sealing portion 342 and the sealing surface 322. The air outside the vacuum preservation box 3 can flow into the storage cavity 310 inside the vacuum preservation box 3 through the second ventilation gap and the first ventilation gap, thereby achieving pressure relief of the vacuum preservation box 3 and allowing the box cover 32 to be easily opened.
[0099] like Figure 10 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the vacuum air valve 34 may include an abutment portion 343. The abutment portion 343 is provided on the peripheral side of the bottom of the column portion 341. The abutment portion 343 is used to abut against the bottom opening of the vacuum port 321. When the vacuum port 321 is evacuated or depressurized, the vacuum air valve 34 can be forced to move upward, causing the abutment portion 343 to abut against the peripheral side wall of the bottom opening of the vacuum port 321, thereby preventing the vacuum air valve 34 from falling out of the vacuum port 321.
[0100] In some embodiments, when the vacuum port 321 is vacuumed, the sealing portion 342 can be forced to move upward, and the abutting portion 343 abuts against the bottom opening of the vacuum port 321. At this time, the distance between the sealing portion 342 and the abutting portion 343 is greater than the height of the vacuum port 321, so a second ventilation gap can be formed between the bottom surface of the sealing portion 342 and the sealing surface 322, so that the second ventilation gap is connected to the first ventilation gap.
[0101] In some embodiments, the abutting portion 343 may be annular and circumferentially arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the bottom of the column portion 341 .
[0102] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a stop rib 323 may be protruded from the bottom of the box cover 32. The stop rib 323 is arranged around the circumference of the bottom opening of the vacuum port 321. The stop rib 323 can serve as the circumferential side wall of the bottom opening of the vacuum port 321. In this way, when the vacuum port 321 is evacuated or depressurized, the sealing portion 342 can be forced to move upward, and the abutting portion 343 can abut against the stop rib 323 around the bottom opening of the vacuum port 321, thereby preventing the vacuum air valve 34 from falling out of the vacuum port 321.
[0103] In some embodiments, the bottom of the stop rib 323 may be provided with a plurality of stop portions 3231. The plurality of stop portions 3231 may be arranged circumferentially spaced apart on the stop rib 323. The plurality of stop portions 3231 may be arranged circumferentially spaced apart around the bottom of the vacuum port 321. Ventilation grooves 3232 may be formed between adjacent stop portions 3231. The venting grooves 3232 may connect the first ventilation gap and the storage chamber 310. In this way, when the vacuum port 321 is evacuated or depressurized, the abutment portion 343 may abut against the stop portion 3231 at the bottom of the stop rib 323, maintaining the first ventilation gap in communication with the storage chamber 310 through the venting grooves 3232. This allows the gas within the storage chamber 310 to be drawn out of the vacuum joint 4 through the venting grooves 3232, the first ventilation gap, and the second ventilation gap, thereby achieving vacuuming of the interior of the vacuum storage box 3.
[0104] In addition, when the vacuum port 321 is depressurized, the abutment portion 343 can also abut against the stop portion 3231 at the bottom of the stop rib 323, so that the first ventilation gap remains connected to the storage cavity 310 through the ventilation groove 3232, and the air outside the vacuum preservation box 3 can flow into the storage cavity 310 through the second ventilation gap, the first ventilation gap, and the ventilation groove 3232 in sequence, thereby achieving air pressure balance inside and outside the vacuum preservation box 3, and allowing the box cover 32 to be easily opened.
[0105] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the bottom of the stop rib 323 may not be provided with the stop portion 3231 and the vent groove 3232, and a vent hole connecting the first vent gap and the storage cavity 310 may be provided on the abutment portion 343. When the storage cavity 310 abuts against each other, the vent hole can be used to maintain the first vent gap and the storage cavity 310 in communication.
[0106] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a reinforcing rib 324 may be provided on the bottom surface of the box cover 32. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 324 may be provided. Multiple reinforcing ribs 324 can increase the structural strength of the box cover 32.
[0107] In some embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 324 may be arranged around the circumference of the stop rib 323. One end of the reinforcing rib 324 may be connected to the stop rib 323. The other end of the reinforcing rib 324 may be connected to the circumferential edge of the bottom surface of the box cover 32. In this way, the structural strength of the box cover 32 can be further improved by the plurality of reinforcing ribs 324 and the stop rib 323.
[0108] like Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning ring 325 may be protruded from the top surface of the box cover 32. The positioning ring 325 may be arranged around the circumference of the vacuum port 321.
[0109] When the vacuum joint 4 is flipped over and docked with the top of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3, the vacuum joint 4 can be sealed against the positioning ring 325, isolating the interior of the positioning ring 325 from the exterior, and then the vacuum joint 4 can dock with the vacuum port 321 inside the positioning ring 325. In this way, when the vacuum pump is operating, the air inside the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3 can smoothly flow into the vacuum joint 4 through the vacuum port 321 and be pumped out by the vacuum pump, thus achieving vacuumization of the interior of the vacuum fresh-keeping box 3.
[0110] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, a sealing ring 41 can be provided on the vacuuming joint 4. The sealing ring 41 can be made of a flexible material. The sealing ring 41 can have a ring shape. When the vacuuming joint 4 is connected to the top of the vacuum preservation box 3, the sealing ring 41 can be sealed against the positioning ring 325, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection between the vacuuming joint 4 and the vacuuming port 321, so that the air inside the vacuum preservation box 3 can be smoothly extracted.
[0111] Figure 13 is Figure 7 A sectional view of the box cover 32. Figure 14 is Figure 13 A partial enlarged structural schematic view of the box cover 32.
[0112] As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, a sealing groove 326 can be concavely provided on the top surface of the box cover 32, and the sealing groove 326 can be circumferentially arranged on the side of the top opening of the vacuuming port 321. A sealing surface 322 can be formed on the groove bottom surface of the sealing groove 326. A sealing portion 342 can be arranged within the contour of the sealing groove 326. The positioning ring 325 can be circumferentially arranged on the side of the sealing groove 326. In this way, by arranging the sealing portion 342 within the sealing groove 326, the height of the vacuum air valve 34 can be reduced, so that the vacuum air valve 34 does not protrude above the top surface of the positioning ring 325, thereby facilitating the reduction of the height requirement of the positioning ring 325.
[0113] Figure 15 is Figure 13 A structural schematic view of the box cover 32 during the molding process. Figure 14 is Figure 13 A partial enlarged structural schematic view of the box cover 32.
[0114] As shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16 In some embodiments, the box cover 32 can be integrally injection molded. The box cover 32 can be made by injection molding.
[0115] As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 16 In some embodiments, the box cover 32 can include an injection ring 3211. The injection ring 3211 can be formed on the circumferential wall of the vacuuming port 321. The injection ring 3211 can have a ring structure. The injection ring 3211 can be circumferentially and annularly arranged on the circumferential wall of the vacuuming port 321.
[0116] During the injection molding process of the box cover 32, the injection melt can enter the surrounding area of the vacuum port 321 through the injection ring 3211 and be injected into other areas of the box cover 32, thereby integrally forming the entire box cover 32. Specifically, in the injection mold of the box cover 32, the injection port of the injection molding material can be connected to the injection ring 3211, thereby allowing the injection melt formed by heating the injection molding material to evenly enter the surrounding area of the vacuum port 321 through the injection ring 3211, and then continuously flow from the surrounding area of the vacuum port 321 to other areas of the box cover 32. During the process of the injection melt being continuously injected by the injection ring 3211, the position corresponding to the sealing surface 322 can remain flat without any bubbles remaining.
[0117] After the injection molding is completed and the lid 32 cools, the flatness of the sealing surface 322 can be ensured, which is conducive to improving the smoothness of the sealing surface 322. When the vacuum air valve 34 is installed at the vacuum port 321, it can ensure that the sealing surface 322 and the sealing portion 342 of the vacuum air valve 34 are in close contact, which is conducive to improving the sealing performance of the sealing portion 342 of the vacuum air valve 34, thereby improving the sealing performance of the molded lid 32 and the overall sealing performance of the vacuum storage container 3.
[0118] It should be noted that in the injection molding schemes of the relevant box lid 32 on the market, the injection ports of the injection molding raw materials are usually arranged at intervals on one side of the vacuum port 321. Therefore, during the injection molding process of the box lid 32, when the injection molding melt of the injection molding raw material enters the interior of the box lid 32 through the injection port, it will first enter the area on one side of the vacuum port 321, and then flow along the peripheral side wall of the vacuum port 321 to the area on the other side of the vacuum port 321. In this way, the injection molding melt will converge at the area on the other side of the vacuum port 321, and injection molding marks will be formed at the convergence point, which may easily lead to the formation of corresponding trace lines or trace grooves on the sealing surface 322 of the box lid 32 after molding, so that the flatness and smoothness of the sealing surface 322 do not meet the requirements, which may easily affect the sealing performance of the box lid 32 and the sealing performance of the vacuum preservation box 3 as a whole.
[0119] like Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the box cover 32 may include an injection molding column 327. The injection molding column 327 may be disposed inside the vacuum port 321. The injection molding column 327 is cylindrical and extends vertically. The outer peripheral wall of the top end of the injection molding column 327 may be connected to the injection ring 3211. The bottom end of the injection molding column 327 may be a feed end.
[0120] During the injection molding process of the box cover 32, the injection melt can enter the injection column 327 through the feed end at the bottom of the injection column 327, and then enter the surrounding area of the vacuum port 321 from the top of the injection column 327 through the injection ring 3211, and then continue to flow from the surrounding area of the vacuum port 321 to other areas of the box cover 32.
[0121] In this way, during the injection molding process of the box cover 32, the injection melt can move from the bottom of the injection column 327 to the top thereof. When the injection melt rises, it needs to overcome gravity so that the injection melt rises evenly, and then can evenly and continuously pass through the injection ring 3211 into the surrounding area of the vacuum port 321, which is beneficial to improving the flatness and smoothness of the sealing surface 322, and thus is beneficial to improving the sealing of the molded box cover 32, as well as improving the overall sealing of the vacuum preservation box 3.
[0122] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the injection molding column 327 may be provided with an inlet (not shown). The inlet may serve as the feed end of the injection molding column 327. The injection molding melt may enter the injection molding column 327 through the inlet to reduce the injection speed of the injection molding melt. The injection molding melt entering the injection molding column 327 may rise evenly along the injection molding column 327.
[0123] It should be noted that the size of the feed opening can be smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom surface of the injection column 327. The size of the feed opening can be adjusted as needed and is not limited here.
[0124] like Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the injection column 327 may include a tapered portion 3271. The tapered portion 3271 may have a conical structure. The outer diameter of the top end of the tapered portion 3271 may be greater than the outer diameter of the bottom end of the tapered portion 3271. The outer peripheral wall of the top end of the tapered portion 3271 may be connected to the injection ring 3211. The injection melt entering the injection column 327 may rise along the tapered portion 3271 to gradually reduce the flow rate of the injection melt, and then be able to evenly and continuously pass through the injection ring 3211 into the peripheral area of the vacuum port 321, which is conducive to improving the uniformity of injection molding.
[0125] In some embodiments, the injection molding column 327 may include a cylindrical portion 3272. The cylindrical portion 3272 may be a cylindrical structure. A tapered portion 3271 may be disposed above the cylindrical portion 3272. The bottom end of the tapered portion 3271 may be connected to the top end of the cylindrical portion 3272. The bottom end of the cylindrical portion 3272 may form an inlet port. The injection molding melt entering the injection molding column 327 through the inlet port may rise evenly along the cylindrical portion 3272.
[0126] like Figure 14 and Figure 16As shown, in some embodiments, after the box cover 32 is formed, the injection column 327 can be separated from the surrounding side walls of the vacuum port 321 at the injection ring 3211 under the action of an external force. For example, by pressing with a finger or inserting a cylindrical tool into the vacuum port 321, the injection column 327 can be separated from the surrounding side walls of the vacuum port 321 at the injection ring 3211, thereby opening the vacuum port 321. This eliminates the need for drilling and helps reduce processing costs.
[0127] It should be noted that after separation, traces of the injection ring 3211 may remain on the sidewalls surrounding the vacuum port 321. These traces of the injection ring 3211 may also remain on the sidewalls surrounding the vacuum port 321 without undergoing machining. Since these traces of the injection ring 3211 are located away from the sealing surface 322, they do not affect the sealing performance of the sealing surface 322, and thus, the overall sealing performance of the vacuum container 3. Of course, these traces of the injection ring 3211 can be removed through machining and polishing.
[0128] In some embodiments, the injection ring 3211 can be smaller than 0.8 mm in height relative to the vacuum port 321. By making the injection ring 3211 smaller than 0.8 mm, the connection strength between the injection column 327 and the sidewall of the vacuum port 321 can be reduced. Consequently, with minimal external force, the injection column 327 can be easily separated from the sidewall of the vacuum port 321 at the injection ring 3211, eliminating the need for drilling.
[0129] In some embodiments, the injection ring 3211 may have a dimension greater than 0.3 mm in the height direction of the vacuum port 321. By having the injection ring 3211 dimension greater than 0.3 mm, the injection ring 3211 can have a sufficient opening width, thereby ensuring the injection speed of the injection melt and improving the injection efficiency of the box cover 32.
[0130] In some embodiments, the injection ring 3211 can have a height dimension in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm in the direction of the vacuum port 321. By keeping the injection ring 3211 height dimension in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm, the injection column 327 can be easily separated from the sidewall of the vacuum port 321 at the injection ring 3211, while also ensuring a high injection speed for the injection melt at the injection ring 3211, thereby improving the injection efficiency of the box cover 32.
[0131] In some embodiments, the injection ring 3211 may be 0.5 mm in height from the vacuum port 321. By keeping the injection ring 3211 at 0.5 mm, the size of the injection ring 3211 can be more reasonable, ensuring that the injection column 327 can be easily separated from the peripheral sidewall of the vacuum port 321 and that the injection speed of the injection melt at the injection ring 3211 is maintained.
