Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food preservation, and in particular to a vacuum food preservation box. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum food storage containers are storage devices used to preserve and keep food fresh. They are common household items nowadays. Because vacuum food storage containers can preserve food better, they are widely used in household products. There are many styles of vacuum food storage containers on the market, and their functions are also different.

[0003] However, currently used vacuum food storage containers are generally intended for individual use. When multiple vacuum food storage containers are used simultaneously, they are not convenient to handle together, and are scattered, making them inconvenient to retrieve. Although some can be stacked, they are not easy to stack and are prone to slipping. In addition, existing vacuum food storage containers are generally taller along the entire rib, resulting in an unattractive appearance.

[0004] Furthermore, existing vacuum food storage containers exhibit relatively significant deformation during vacuum sealing, affecting preservation effectiveness and making them prone to slipping when stacked. While some existing containers use internal ribs in the lid to increase strength and reduce deformation, these lids are difficult to clean. Additionally, existing vacuum food storage containers generally lack date settings, which can lead to confusion about usage dates when using multiple containers, making management inconvenient. Moreover, existing vacuum food storage containers are typically made of AS, ABS, or PET materials, making them susceptible to deformation or breakage under sudden temperature changes, thus failing to meet the requirements for microwave heating and refrigerator storage.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a vacuum food preservation container. Utility Model Content

[0042] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the invention described herein while still achieving its advantageous effects. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0043] The present invention will be described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a vacuum food storage box, including a box body 1, a box lid 2, and a vacuum valve 3.

[0045] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 As shown, the lid 2 is mounted on the body 1; the vacuum valve 3 includes a first silicone component 31, a second silicone component 32, a third silicone component 33, and a fourth silicone component 34; the first silicone component 31 is connected to one side of the second silicone component 32; the third silicone component 33 is mounted on the other side of the second silicone component 32 and is located between the second silicone component 32 and the fourth silicone component 34.

[0046] Furthermore, the lid 2 has a through hole 21; the third silicone element 33 passes through the through hole 21; the first silicone element 31 and the second silicone element 32 are both located on the outside of the lid 2 (and also on one side of the through hole 21); the second silicone element 32 is adsorbed onto the lid 2 and is in close contact with the lid 2; the fourth silicone element 34 is located on the inside of the lid 2 (and also on the other side of the through hole 21, and inside the box body 1); the fourth silicone element 34 maintains a predetermined distance from the through hole 21 for venting or depressurization (i.e., gas inside the box body 1 is discharged or gas outside the lid 2 enters the box body 1, such as...). Figure 4 The direction of the dashed arrow in the diagram indicates the direction of the gas flow.

[0047] Preferably, the first silicone part 31, the second silicone part 32, the third silicone part 33 and the fourth silicone part 34 are all made of soft and elastic silicone material.

[0048] In addition, combined Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first silicone part 31 is an annular structure with an arc-shaped protrusion 35 in the middle; the convex surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 35 is located on the outside of the box cover 2, and the concave surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 35 is connected to the inside of the box body 1 through the hollow structure.

[0049] The ring-shaped first silicone element 31 allows users to quickly release pressure simply by moving it by hand.

[0050] With the arc-shaped protrusion 35, when the vacuum food container is in a vacuum preservation state, the convex surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 35 is recessed, which makes it easy for users to observe whether the inside of the vacuum food container is in a vacuum preservation state.

[0051] In addition, in this embodiment, by gently moving the first silicone part 31 and the second silicone part 32, the second silicone part 32 is no longer adhering to the lid 2, allowing external gas to enter the through hole 21 through the gap between the second silicone part 32 and the lid 2, and then smoothly enter the box body 1 through multiple grooves 71; at this time, the arc-shaped protrusion 35 is in a raised state, so that the user can easily observe that the vacuum food container is no longer in a vacuum state, and also prepare for the next vacuuming.

[0052] Preferred, combined Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a sealing ring 4 is provided on the side of the box cover 2 that contacts the box body 1.

[0053] Furthermore, the sealing ring 4 has a textured surface, which further improves the sealing performance of the device. The texture can be diagonal, horizontal, or vertical stripes, etc., to achieve the same effect.

[0054] In addition, the sealing ring 4 can be detachably installed on the box cover 2 for easy disassembly and cleaning.

[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 6-7 As shown. A fitting 7 is provided near the side wall of the box body 1 near the through hole 21; the fitting 7 communicates with the through hole 21; the fourth silicone element 34 and the third silicone element 33 pass through the fitting 7 in sequence; the fourth silicone element 34 engages with the end of the fitting 7 away from the through hole 21; multiple grooves 71 are provided at the end of the fitting 7, forming an air vent between it and the fourth silicone element 34. The grooves 71 or air vents are used for venting or depressurizing (i.e., gas inside the box body 1 is discharged through the grooves 71 or gas outside the box cover 2 enters the box body 1 through the grooves 71, such as...). Figure 4 The direction of the dashed arrow in the diagram indicates the direction of the gas flow when it is being expelled, and also the path when it is being depressurized.

[0056] More specifically, the assembly 7 has a hollow structure. By providing a groove 71 at the end of the assembly 7, when a vacuum pump is used to extract vacuum by contacting the first silicone part 31 and the second silicone part 32, the gas inside the box 1 can directly enter the through hole 21 from the groove 71, and then leak out through the through hole 21 along the gap between the second silicone part 32 and the box cover 2.

[0057] Preferably, the diameter of the through hole 21 is larger than the diameter of the third silicone element 33, and smaller than the diameters of the second silicone element 32 and the fourth silicone element 34, so as to facilitate the normal flow of gas.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second silicone element 32, the third silicone element 33, and the fourth silicone element 34 are all hollow structures. To facilitate the assembly of the vacuum valve 3, the fourth silicone element 34 can deform and smoothly pass through the through hole 21, thus making easy contact with the interior of the housing 1. Furthermore, by gently moving the first silicone element 31 and the second silicone element 32, the second silicone element 32 is no longer adhered to the housing cover 2, allowing external gas to enter the through hole 21 through the gap between the second silicone element 32 and the housing cover 2, and then smoothly enter the housing 1 through the multiple grooves 71.

[0059] Preferably, the lid 2 is made of PP material, the sealing ring 4 is made of hollow silicone, and the box body 1 is made of environmentally friendly PP material or high borosilicate glass material. The combination of these materials can make the device have a better preservation effect, and at the same time meet the needs of microwave heating and refrigerator preservation storage.

[0060] In addition, combined Figure 1-3 as well as Figures 8-9 As shown, this embodiment also includes a date observation device. Specifically, the box cover 2 has an annular groove 6 on the side away from the box body 1; the date observation device is disposed in the annular groove 6; the through hole 21 and the vacuum valve 3 are both located in the middle of the annular groove 6 and the date observation device.

[0061] In one specific example, the date observation device includes a date dial 51 and a plurality of movable parts 52. Specifically, the date dial 51 is engaged in the annular groove 6; the date dial 51 includes a month scale area and a date scale area; one of the movable parts 52 is slidably disposed on the month scale area, and the other movable part 52 is slidably disposed on the date scale area.

[0062] Preferably, the date dial 51 is ring-shaped, which makes it easy to directly snap into the ring groove 6.

[0063] In this embodiment, the movable component 52 includes a first connector 521, a second connector 522, and a third connector 523. Specifically, one end of the first connector 521 is connected to one end of the second connector 522, and the other end of the first connector 521 is provided with a U-shaped groove 5210 for separately displaying the month and date on the date dial 51; the other end of the second connector 522 is connected to the third connector 523; and the date dial 51 is snapped between the first connector 521 and the third connector 523.

[0064] In one embodiment, only one number can be displayed or circled within the U-shaped groove 5210. For example, there are two movable parts 52. Specifically, when it is necessary to record the storage date of food in the vacuum-sealed food container, simply slide the two movable parts 52 respectively, one to indicate the month of storage and the other to indicate the date of storage, and the specific storage time can be displayed. Then, the freshness of the food can be determined based on the displayed month and day.

[0065] In another specific example, the date observation device includes a date scale component 53 and an indicator component 54; the date scale component 53 is integrally formed with the box cover 2; the date scale component 53 includes a date scale area disposed in the annular groove 6; the indicator component 54 is fixedly connected to the vacuum valve 3, for example, it can be fixedly connected to the second silicone component 32, and the indicating end points to the date scale area. The indicator component 54 can be triangular, with the indicating end being... Figure 9 The central indicator 54 is oriented toward the tip of the date scale area.

[0066] In one embodiment, the lid 2 is provided with fasteners 22 around its perimeter for securing the sidewalls of the box body 1. Specifically, the fasteners 22 are provided with engaging grooves that can engage the sidewalls of the box body 1.

[0067] In addition, the overall shape of a vacuum food storage container can be rectangular or circular, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the overall size and shape can be set according to actual needs.

[0068] In this embodiment, as Figure 12 As shown, the top of the box cover 2 is a dome structure, and the highest point of the dome structure is higher than the edge of the box cover 2.

[0069] In this embodiment, the vacuum food storage container is initially in the following state: Figure 12 As shown, the central surface of the lid 2 has a curvature (i.e., the lid 2 is a dome-shaped structure or a dome structure), and the curvature is... Figure 12 As shown by the solid line arc, the lid 2 is raised around its entire perimeter, allowing it to enclose the bottom of the container 1 under vacuum, achieving a stackable and non-slip effect. Specifically, when multiple vacuum food storage containers need to be stacked, a vacuum pump is installed on the vacuum valve 3 to perform a vacuuming operation. At this time, the gas inside the vacuum food storage container is discharged from the inside of the container 1 under the action of the vacuum pump, sequentially through the groove 71, the through hole 21, and the gap between the second silicone piece 32 and the lid 2. This gas can then be observed through the recess of the arc-shaped protrusion 35 (such as...). Figure 12 (When the arc-shaped protrusion 35° is depressed under the action of force F, it can be seen that the vacuum storage container is in a vacuum state.) The surface of the lid 2 is at this time flat. Figure 12As shown by the dashed line, the surface is no longer curved, thus enabling the stacking of multiple vacuum food storage containers.

[0070] Then, by manually moving the first silicone component 31, a gap is created between the second silicone component 32 and the lid 2, allowing gas to pass through the gap between the second silicone component 32 and the lid 2, the through hole 21, and the groove 71 into the interior of the box body 1, thereby depressurizing the device.

[0071] In summary, the vacuum food storage container proposed in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0072] The device comprises a box body, a lid, and a vacuum valve; the lid is mounted on the box body; the vacuum valve includes a first silicone component, a second silicone component, a third silicone component, and a fourth silicone component; the first silicone component is connected to one side of the second silicone component; the third silicone component is mounted on the other side of the second silicone component and located between the second and fourth silicone components; the lid has a through hole; the third silicone component passes through the through hole; both the first and second silicone components are located on the outside of the lid; the second silicone component is adhered to the lid and tightly fitted to it; the fourth silicone component is located on the inside of the lid; a predetermined distance is maintained between the fourth silicone component and the through hole for venting or depressurization. This device not only achieves vacuum preservation but also improves sealing performance through the vacuum valve and is easy to stack.

[0073] In addition, the arc-shaped protrusion in the middle of the first silicone part allows observation of whether the vacuum food container is in a vacuum state.

[0074] In addition, by setting the date observation device, the date when food is stored can be set each time, so that the freshness of the food can be judged by observing the usage date later.

[0075] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
