The existing sealing ring design of insulated containers makes it difficult to balance sealing performance with the flexibility of opening and closing the lid. When the sealing ring is squeezed tightly, the resistance to opening the lid is large, which affects the smoothness of opening and closing the lid and the user experience.

Method used

The inner and outer pressure rings are used to fix the inner and outer sides of the seal respectively. The sealing groove provides deformation space for the seal. The flange of the cover contacts the seal in the axial direction to reduce friction. Combined with the elastic fit of the sealing strip, a sealing effect and smooth opening and closing are achieved.

Benefits of technology

It achieves stable sealing performance, while making it easier to open and close the cover, avoiding jamming, and improving the user experience.
