TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to a long-stem vegetable preservation box. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for food preservation is also getting higher and higher, especially in the preservation of vegetables and fruits. There are many types of existing preservation boxes, but most of them are designed for regular-shaped vegetables and fruits. For long-stem vegetables such as cowpeas, loofahs, and asparagus, there is a lack of specialized preservation design. The preservation boxes on the market usually have regular shapes, such as cuboids or cylinders, and the internal space layout is fixed, which cannot adapt to the length and shape of long-stem vegetables.
[0003] Related prior art such as Chinese patent application "Preservation box capable of prolonging preservation time of vegetables and fruits", publication number CN216970421U, discloses a preservation box including a box body, a limiting frame, a placing frame, and a cover plate. The limiting frame is arranged on the placing frame; the limiting frame is detachably connected with the box body; the placing frame is provided with a water filtering hole, and the placing frame is arranged in the box body, leaving a gap between the placing frame and the box body. The cover plate is detachably connected with the limiting frame. The box body is provided with a ventilation hole. The utility model sets the placing frame in the box body, so that there is a sandwich layer between the placing frame and the box body; the vegetables and fruits are located in the placing frame, and after the water vapor in the box body is liquefied into small water droplets due to cooling, the small water droplets are filtered through the water filtering hole on the placing frame and enter the box body, without forming residues on the surface of the vegetables and fruits or in the placing frame, thereby avoiding the influence of the small water droplets on the vegetables and fruits in the placing frame, improving the practicality, and effectively prolonging the preservation time of the preservation box for vegetables and fruits.
[0004] However, the design of the above-mentioned preservation box often requires bending or breaking long-stem vegetables when storing them, which not only damages the integrity of the vegetables but also may accelerate their deterioration. In addition, the design of conventional preservation boxes in terms of sealing and air permeability also cannot meet the special preservation needs of long-stem vegetables, and cannot effectively prolong their preservation period.
[0005] Therefore, the existing preservation boxes have obvious deficiencies when facing long-stem vegetables, and a preservation box specially designed for long-stem vegetables is needed to solve these problems and better meet the preservation needs of consumers for such vegetables. SUMMARY
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a long-stem vegetable preservation box, which is designed for long-stem vegetables and meets the preservation needs of long-stem vegetables.
[0007] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is: the long-stem vegetable preservation box comprises a lower shell in a strip-shaped structure, the top surface of the lower shell is open, and the side edge of the top surface of the lower shell is reversibly connected with an upper shell; when the upper shell is flipped down to the lower shell, the open top surface of the lower shell is covered and shielded to form an independent storage space; one side of the lower shell is provided with a base, and the lower shell is inserted into the base; the outer side edge of the base is provided with a support ring, the base can be vertically placed on a table top through the support ring, the inner bottom surface of the base is provided with a water receiving groove, and the side surface of the lower shell inserted into the base is provided with a draining hole.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: first, the strip-shaped lower shell can fully adapt to the shape and length of long-stem vegetables, avoiding the problem that long-stem vegetables need to be bent or broken for storage due to the regular shape and fixed internal space layout of traditional preservation boxes, and maintaining the integrity of the vegetables, thereby slowing down the risk of vegetable deterioration from the source and providing a more suitable storage space for long-stem vegetables.
[0009] Secondly, the top surface of the lower shell is open, and the side edge thereof is reversibly connected with the upper shell; this design is convenient for users to take and place vegetables, and can form an independent storage space by flipping the upper shell to cover it, which helps to maintain the internal humidity and freshness and meets the requirement of long-stem vegetables for a relatively stable storage environment.
[0010] Thirdly, the provision of the base increases the flexibility of placing the preservation box; on the one hand, the lower shell and the base can be placed horizontally; on the other hand, the support ring on the outer side edge of the base can make it stand on the table top, thereby saving space and being convenient for users to choose a suitable placement mode according to actual conditions.
[0011] Finally, the water receiving groove on the inner bottom surface of the base and the draining hole on the side surface of the lower shell inserted into the base effectively solve the problem of condensate water generated during preservation; in the vertical state, small water droplets generated in the preservation box can be guided into the water receiving groove through the draining hole, avoiding the residual of water on the surface of the vegetables and in the storage space, so that the vegetables are not affected by additional moisture, the dryness of the vegetables can be better maintained, the preservation period of the vegetables is prolonged, the special requirement of long-stem vegetables for the dryness of the storage environment is precisely met, and the preservation effect is improved.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the lower shell comprises a sealing segment inserted into the base and an open segment exposed outside the base, and the longitudinal section of the lower shell as a whole is in a runway-shaped structure.
[0013] The design makes the lower shell have better fixation and support in the base, and the insertion of the sealing section into the base can ensure the stability of the connection, and the open section exposed outside is convenient for users to operate and take and place vegetables.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.
[0041] The long-stemmed vegetable preservation box, example one is shown as follows: including a lower shell 1 of long strip structure, the top surface of the lower shell 1 is open, the present application designs the lower shell 1 of long strip structure to be able to fully adapt to the shape and length of long-stemmed vegetables, avoids the problem that long-stemmed vegetables need to be bent or broken for storage due to the regular shape and fixed internal space layout of traditional preservation boxes, well maintains the integrity of vegetables, slows down the risk of vegetable deterioration from the source, and provides more suitable storage space for long-stemmed vegetables. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The top surface of the lower shell 1 is reversibly connected with an upper shell 2 on one side edge, and the upper shell 2 is reversibly connected with the lower shell 1. When the upper shell 2 is reversed to the lower shell 1, the top surface opening of the lower shell 1 is covered and shielded to form an independent storage space. This design not only facilitates the user to take and place vegetables, but also forms an independent storage space by reversing the upper shell 2, which helps to maintain the internal humidity and freshness, and meets the requirement of long-stemmed vegetables for relatively stable storage environment.
[0042] The top surface of the lower shell 1 is reversibly connected with an upper shell 2 on one side edge, and the upper shell 2 is reversibly connected with the lower shell 1. When the upper shell 2 is reversed to the lower shell 1, the top surface opening of the lower shell 1 is covered and shielded to form an independent storage space. This design not only facilitates the user to take and place vegetables, but also forms an independent storage space by reversing the upper shell 2, which helps to maintain the internal humidity and freshness, and meets the requirement of long-stemmed vegetables for relatively stable storage environment.
[0043] A base 3 is provided on one side of the lower housing 1, and one side of the lower housing 1 is inserted into the base 3. A support ring 4 is provided on the outer edge of the base 3, allowing the base 3 to stand upright on the countertop. The base 3 increases the placement flexibility of the food storage container. On the one hand, both the lower housing 1 and the base 3 can be placed horizontally; on the other hand, the support ring 4 on the outer edge of the base 3 allows it to stand upright on the countertop, saving space and allowing users to choose the appropriate placement method according to actual conditions.
[0044] A water-receiving groove 5 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the base 3, and a drainage hole 6 is provided on the side of the lower shell 1 that is inserted into the base 3. The design of the water-receiving groove 5 on the inner bottom surface of the base 3 and the drainage hole 6 on the side of the lower shell 1 that is inserted into the base 3 effectively solves the problem of condensation during the preservation process. In the upright position, small water droplets that may form inside the food storage container can be guided into the water-receiving groove 5 through the drainage hole 6, avoiding moisture residue on the surface of the vegetables and in the storage space. This prevents additional moisture from affecting the vegetables, better maintains their dryness, extends their shelf life, and precisely meets the special requirements of long-stemmed vegetables for a dry storage environment, thus improving the preservation effect.
[0045] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the lower housing 1 includes a sealed section 1a inserted into the base 3 and an open section 1b exposed outside the base 3. The longitudinal cross-section of the lower housing 1 is generally racetrack-shaped. This design provides good fixation and support for the lower housing 1 within the base 3. The sealed section 1a inserted into the base 3 ensures the stability of the connection, while the open section 1b exposed facilitates user operation and access to vegetables. The racetrack-shaped longitudinal cross-section structure can accommodate the shape of long-stemmed vegetables, providing sufficient storage space, while also saving materials and reducing costs to some extent.
[0046] The sealing section 1a of the lower shell 1 has a cylindrical structure, and the drainage hole 6 is located on the end face of the sealing section 1a. Specifically, to facilitate the forming of the lower shell 1, the sealing section 1a of the lower shell 1 can also be designed as a split structure. The drainage hole 6 is located on the end face of the sealing section 1a, so that when the container is upright, the water in the container can flow smoothly into the water collection tank 5 through the drainage hole 6, avoiding water accumulation on the surface of the vegetables and in the storage space, effectively maintaining the dryness of the vegetables and extending the shelf life.
[0047] The top surface of the open section 1b of the lower shell 1 is open, and the top surface of the open section 1b is located in the middle of the sealing section 1a. The open top surface of the open section 1b and its location in the middle of the sealing section 1a give the lower shell 1 a larger opening area, making it more convenient for users to take out and put in long-stemmed vegetables, reducing the cumbersomeness of operation. At the same time, this design also facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the lower shell 1, ensuring the hygiene of the food storage container.
[0048] The bottom surface of the upper shell 2 is adapted to the opening surface of the lower shell 1, and the top surface of the lower shell 1 is a stepped surface. The adaptation of the bottom surface of the upper shell 2 to the opening surface of the lower shell 1 ensures the tightness and sealing of the connection between the two, effectively preventing foreign matter from entering and maintaining the stability of the internal environment. The stepped surface design of the top surface of the lower shell 1 ensures that the upper shell 2 has a structural engagement force after being connected to the lower shell 1, eliminating the need for additional clamping structures, simplifying the design, reducing production costs, and ensuring the reliability of the connection.
[0049] One end of the bottom surface of the upper shell 2 is connected to the lower shell 1 through a rotating shaft 7, and the other end of the bottom surface of the upper shell 2 protrudes and is provided with a push piece 8. The connection of the rotating shaft 7 allows the upper shell 2 to be flexibly flipped, making it convenient for users to open and close the preservation box. The design of the push piece 8 facilitates the user's force, easily driving the upper shell 2 to rotate around the rotating shaft 7, improving the convenience of operation and making the user more labor-saving and convenient during use.
[0050] The side surface of the sealing section 1a in contact with the upper shell 2 is provided with a protrusion, and the corresponding position of the upper shell 2 is provided with a recess 10. When the upper shell 2 covers the lower shell 1, the protrusion is embedded in the recess 10. The cooperation of the protrusion and the recess 10 provides the user with clear force feedback when closing the upper shell 2, ensuring that the upper shell 2 is closed in place and avoiding structural instability caused by loose closure. This physical structure engagement method enhances the stability of the connection.
[0051] The other contents of Example Two are the same as those of Example One.
[0052] Example Three, as shown in Figures 1 to 6 The outer circumferential surface of the sealing section 1a of the lower shell 1 is provided with a plurality of ribs 11, which are arranged along the length direction of the lower shell 1, and the lower shell 1 is connected to the inner wall surface of the base 3 through the ribs 11. The ribs 11 also have a certain guiding effect, making the lower shell 1 more smooth when inserted into the base 3. At the same time, the design of the ribs 11 ensures the reliability of the contact connection between the lower shell 1 and the base 3, avoiding shaking after installation.
[0053] The top surface and the bottom surface of the sealing section 1a of the lower shell 1 are provided with clamping protrusions 12, and the inner wall surface of the base 3 is provided with clamping grooves 13 corresponding to the clamping protrusions 12. The lower shell 1 is inserted into the base 3 to realize clamping through the clamping protrusions 12 and the clamping grooves 13; the clamping protrusions 12 are parallel to one side surface of the lower shell 1. The cooperation of the clamping protrusions 12 and the clamping grooves 13 allows the lower shell 1 to be quickly and accurately connected to the base 3, making the operation simple and improving the assembly efficiency. The clamping protrusions 12 are parallel to the side surface of the lower shell 1, ensuring the stability of the clamping and avoiding the lower shell 1 from loosening or falling off during use, enhancing the reliability of the overall structure.
[0054] The support ring 4 protrudes from the outer side of the base 3, and the diameter of the outer edge of the support ring 4 is greater than the diameter of the base 3. The support ring 4 protrudes from the outer side of the base 3, and the diameter of the outer edge is greater than the diameter of the base 3, so that the support ring 4 has better supportability, ensures the stability of the preservation box when it is placed vertically, and prevents it from toppling over. Specifically, the support ring 4 of the present application is designed as a skirt-like structure, which has better aesthetic appearance.
[0055] The other contents of the third embodiment are the same as those of the first or second embodiment.
