[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 —4:
[0030] A food storage box includes a box body 1 with an upper opening 10 and a box lid 2 that seals the upper opening. The box lid 2 has a downwardly extending venting groove 3 in the middle, and an upwardly opening hinged groove 30 in the middle of the venting groove 3. A sealing cover 4 is provided at the upper end of the venting groove 3. A hinge post 40 is provided at the middle of the bottom of the sealing cover 4, which is embedded in the hinged groove 30. The sealing cover 4 can swing left and right along the hinge post 40. A through hole 31 is provided at the bottom of the venting groove 3 on one side of the hinged groove 30. A sealing part 41 corresponding to the through hole 31 is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover 4. When the sealing cover 4 moves along the sealing part 41 on one side of the hinge post 40, the sealing part 41 seals the through hole 31. When the sealing cover 4 moves away from the sealing part 41 along the hinge post 40, the sealing part 41 disengages from the through hole 31.
[0031] In actual use, the lid 2 is usually fastened to the top of the box body and seals the opening 10. The sealing cover on the top of the lid should press against the through hole 31 in the exhaust groove.
[0032] After heating the storage box, the user needs to vent the air by pressing the sealing cap. During the pressing process, the hinge pin of the sealing cap 4 rotates on the hinge groove 30, causing the sealing part 41 to no longer seal the through hole 31, thus allowing the hot air inside the box to escape through the through hole 31. Furthermore, the user's fingers will not be burned by the hot air when pressing, and the entire process is simple and convenient.
[0033] Preferably, the box cover 2 includes an outer ring 20 and an inner cover 21. The bottom of the outer ring 20 is provided with a snap groove 200 for sealing the opening 10 on the box body 1. The outer edge of the inner cover 21 is embedded in the inner wall of the outer ring 20. The venting groove 3 is formed in the middle of the inner cover 21.
[0034] In the above structure, the cover 2 is detachable, facilitating overall installation. Furthermore, the outer ring and inner cover are machined separately before assembly, reducing manufacturing complexity.
[0035] The detachable structure also makes it easy for users to clean the storage box.
[0036] Preferably, the surface of the inner cover 21 is provided with a plurality of heat-insulating ridges 210 extending outward from the venting groove 3. The heat-insulating ridges 210 are integrally formed, thereby effectively enhancing the heat insulation effect and preventing users from being burned when touching the inner cover.
[0037] Preferably, the outer ring 20 is made of silicone, and the inner cover 21 is made of plastic.
[0038] Based on the above, the silicone material of the outer ring 20 allows the buckle groove 200 to have a certain deformation capability, thereby achieving a certain interference fit when fastened to the upper opening and enhancing the sealing performance; at the same time, the plastic material of the inner cover 21 also enhances the overall support of the box cover and ensures sufficient structural strength.
[0039] Preferably, the bottom of the exhaust groove 3 extends downward and forms a recessed groove 32, the through hole 31 is opened on the side away from the recessed groove 32, and when one end of the sealing cover 4 is hinged to move in the direction of the recessed groove 32, the horizontal height of the bottom of the other end of the sealing cover 4 is above the horizontal height of the opening of the exhaust groove 3.
[0040] During the pressing process, in order to allow as much space as possible above the through hole 31, the recessed groove 32 allows the sealing cover 4 on the other side to be raised higher, thus creating a larger opening on the other side and enhancing the air output efficiency.
[0041] Additionally, an abutment protrusion 33 is provided on the vent groove. The abutment protrusion 33 is located on the side of the through hole, so that when pressing to seal, excessive pressure is avoided, ensuring normal use.
[0042] Preferably, the bottom of the sealing part 41 has a spherical structure, and the upper edge of the through hole 31 is formed with an abutting protrusion 310 that fits against the lower end face of the sealing part 41. When the sealing part 41 seals the through hole 31, the bottom of the sealing part 41 abuts against the upper end of the abutting protrusion 310.
[0043] In the above structure, the abutting convex ring 310 is used to abut against the spherical surface at the bottom of the sealing part 41 in order to increase the contact area and thus ensure the sealing performance in the non-air-venting state.
[0044] Preferably, the upper surface of the sealing cover 4 is provided with an indicator portion 42.
[0045] In the specific implementation process, an indicator for pressing and sealing is displayed at the position of the sealing cap corresponding to the through hole 31, while an indicator for pressing and releasing air is displayed on the other side. At the same time, the indicator for pressing and releasing air is slightly recessed to facilitate the force when releasing air.
[0046] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
