Detailed Implementation

[0020] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0021] A type of ceramic storage jar, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the storage container includes an upper lid 1 and a lower body 2. The body 2 is equipped with a moisture-absorbing drying component 3. The drying component 3 includes a moisture-absorbing desiccant 31 and a slider 32 for holding the desiccant 31. The body 2 has a slider receiving groove 21 for holding the slider 32, and the slider receiving groove 21 has a vent hole for moisture to pass through. The body 2 also has a visualization component 4 for observing the state of the desiccant 31. By observing the state of the desiccant 31 through the visualization component 4, the slider 32 can be pulled out when the desiccant 31 changes color, and the discolored and ineffective desiccant 31 can be replaced. By observing the color change of the desiccant 31, it is easy to replace the ineffective desiccant 31 in a timely manner, ensuring the dryness of the seasonings in the storage container. The desiccant 31 is a food-grade desiccant, specifically a color-changing silica gel desiccant. The desiccant 31 is orange before absorbing moisture and turns light green after absorbing moisture.

[0022] The slider receiving groove 21 is located on the outer side wall of the storage tank body 2. The opening of the slider receiving groove 21 faces the bottom of the storage tank body 2, which is conducive to the user observing the usage status of the desiccant 31 and maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of the storage tank appearance. The slider receiving groove 21 is designed at the bottom, which will increase the thickness of the bottom of the storage tank, thus increasing the manufacturing difficulty and cost. The slider receiving groove 21 is designed in the cavity of the storage tank, which will occupy too much of the storage space of the storage tank and is not conducive to the user observing the desiccant 31. The slider receiving groove 21 has a first inner wall on the outer side and a second inner wall on the inner side corresponding to the first inner wall. The vent includes a first through hole 211 at the top of the slider receiving groove 21 and a second through hole 212 on the inner wall of the second inner wall. The slider 32 includes a drying receiving part 321 at the top and a handle part 322 at the bottom. The top of the drying receiving part 321 is provided with a drying receiving groove 3211 for holding the desiccant 31. The opening of the drying receiving groove 3211 faces the first through hole 211. The drying receiving groove 3211 is provided with a groove through hole 3212 corresponding to the second through hole 212. On the basis of facilitating the formation of vent holes, more vent holes are added so that moisture can be absorbed by the desiccant 31 more quickly, ensuring the dryness of the seasonings in the storage tank, improving the water absorption efficiency, and reducing production costs.

[0023] The slider 32 is equipped with a limiting component to facilitate its installation and disassembly. Furthermore, the limiting component can employ snap-fit ​​connections, threaded connections, magnetic connections, etc., all of which enable quick assembly and disassembly. The limiting component includes an elastic element 323 located on the outer wall of the drying container 321, which serves to limit and fix the slider 32. The drying container 321 has an elastic receiving groove 324 for receiving the elastic element 323. Through the elastic deformation of the elastic element 323, the slider 32 can be simply and efficiently limited, while also ensuring the overall sealing of the storage tank, preventing external moisture from entering through the gap between the slider 32 and the slider receiving groove 21, thus accelerating the desiccant 31's deterioration. The handle 322 has a pull-out groove 3221 for easy pulling of the slider 32. The opening of the pull-out groove 3221 faces the outer wall of the storage tank body, allowing the user to insert their fingers into the pull-out groove 3221 to pull out the slider 32. This operation is simple and convenient and does not affect the overall aesthetics.

[0024] The visualization component 4 is located on the outer wall of the storage tank corresponding to the drying container 321, allowing users to easily observe the usage status of the desiccant 31 and replace it in a timely manner. The visualization component 4 includes a viewing window 41 located on the outer wall of the storage tank and corresponding to the drying container 321; a viewing receiving groove 22 on the outer wall of the storage tank to accommodate the viewing window 41, the viewing receiving groove 22 having a first viewing aperture 221 corresponding to the viewing window 41; the drying container 321 having a second viewing aperture 3213 corresponding to the first viewing aperture 221. The overall structure ensures easy observation for users while also reducing production costs. The viewing window 41 is made of transparent material, and the viewing window 41 is glued together with the viewing receiving groove 22. The structure is simple and effective. Furthermore, the adhesive used is food-grade adhesive, such as food-grade epoxy adhesive, food-grade inorganic adhesive, and food-grade silicone adhesive, with food-grade silicone adhesive being preferred, to provide a sealing and moisture-proof function.

[0025] The storage jar lid 1 is provided with a sealing ring 11 for sealing and limiting; the lower part of the storage jar lid 1 is provided with a lid extension section that extends into the inner cavity of the storage jar body 2. The lid extension section has a sealing receiving groove 12 for accommodating the sealing ring 11, which plays a sealing role, preventing moisture from entering the seasoning jar and causing the seasoning to clump or spoil, and also making it convenient to open and close the storage jar lid 1.

[0026] The product form of this utility model is not limited to the illustrations and embodiments in this case. Any appropriate changes or modifications made to it based on similar ideas should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
