[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pepper storage device, including a lower shell 1, a first through hole 2, a first thread 3, a movable seat 4, a first magnetic block 5, a reset spring 6, an upper shell 7, a second thread 8, and a second magnetic block 9. The lower shell 1 has several sets of first through holes 2 on its lower end face, and the upper end of the outer side of the lower shell 1 is provided with a first thread 3. The movable seat 4 is provided inside the lower shell 1, and the upper end face of the movable seat 4 is fitted with a first magnetic block 5. The lower end face of the movable seat 4 is provided with a reset spring 6. The upper shell 7 is provided above the lower shell 1, and the lower end of the inner side of the upper shell 7 is provided with a second thread 8. The lower end face of the lower shell 1 is fitted with a second magnetic block 9. This design solves the problem of accidentally ingesting seasonings when eating food.

[0021] As the first embodiment of this utility model: a fixed sleeve 42 is bonded inside the lower housing 1, and three sets of fixed sleeves 42 of the same specifications are provided. A movable sleeve 41 is bonded to the lower end face of the movable seat 4. The movable sleeve 41 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 42. The movable sleeve 41 can slide tightly along the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 42. The design of the movable sleeve 41 and the fixed sleeve 42 makes the movement of the movable seat 4 more stable in the vertical direction. Spring connecting seats 61 are provided at both ends of the return spring 6. The return spring 6 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 4 and the inner wall of the lower housing 1 through the spring connecting seats 61 respectively. The spring connecting seats 61 can fix the position of both ends of the return spring 6. The return spring 6 can help the movable seat 4 to return to its original position. The second thread 8 occupies the inner side of the upper housing 7. The first thread 3 occupies 2 / 5 of the area of ​​the outer surface of the lower housing 1. This design allows the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 7 to be rotated and connected after over-meshing. The first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 9 attract each other, allowing the lower housing 1 to attract the upper housing 7. The first thread 3 and the second thread 8 mesh with each other, fixing the position between the upper housing 7 and the lower housing 1. Several sets of second through holes 71 are opened on the upper end face of the upper housing 7. The diameter of the first through hole 2 and the second through hole 71 is 3-8 mm smaller than the diameter of a typical peppercorn. The first through hole 2 and the second through hole 71 allow the internal seasonings to release their flavor to the outside without leaking out.

[0022] As a second embodiment of this utility model: The user places peppercorns into the lower housing 1, and then installs the upper housing 7 using the first thread 3 and the second thread 8. After the first thread 3 and the second thread 8 are fully engaged, continued rotation allows the first thread 3 and the second thread 8 to unscrew. Since the first thread 3 and the second thread 8 occupy 2 / 5 of the area of ​​the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 7 respectively, after the first thread 3 unscrews the second thread 8, the upper housing 7 and the lower housing 1 can rotate independently and move up and down within a certain range, such as... Figure 4As shown, at this time, the movable seat 4 and the first magnetic block 5 attract the upper shell 7, which is embedded with the second magnetic block 9, and pull the upper shell 7 downward under the action of the reset spring 6, so that the first thread 3 and the second thread 8 disengage. At this time, the upper shell 7 and the lower shell 1 will not be unscrewed even if they are rotated freely. The upper shell 7 and the lower shell 1 are placed in the wok for normal cooking. The peppercorns inside the lower shell 1 can release their aroma through the first through hole 2 and the second through hole 71 to season the food. No matter how much they are stir-fried, the upper shell 7 will not be accidentally rotated and disengaged, causing the peppercorns to leak out. After cooking, the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 7 can be taken out directly to separate the peppercorns from the food, avoiding the accidental ingestion of peppercorns during consumption. After the upper shell 7 and the lower shell 1 are taken out, the user needs to pull the upper shell 7 and the lower shell 1 to both sides to stretch the reset spring 6 and make the first thread 3 and the second thread 8 re-engage. Then rotate the upper shell 7 and the lower shell 1 to separate the upper shell 7 and the lower shell 1, making it easy to clean.
