Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spice storage technology, and in particular to a highly sealed spice storage container. Background Technology

[0002] A spice is a substance that can be smelled or tasted. It may be a single substance or a mixture. According to the method of production or raw materials, spices can be divided into two main categories: natural spices and synthetic spices. Spices need to be stored in spice storage containers.

[0003] To prevent fragrances from being damaged by moisture in the air, they are typically stored in highly sealed containers. However, these containers need to be opened to retrieve the fragrances, which exposes a large amount of the fragrances to the air. This allows moisture to enter the inner wall of the container, increasing the frequency of retrieval and accelerating the damage to the fragrances. Therefore, existing highly sealed containers are quite inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses a highly sealed spice storage tank, which aims to solve the technical problem that existing highly sealed tanks require opening the tank when taking out materials, which leads to a large amount of spices being exposed to the air. This allows moisture from the air to enter the inner wall of the tank, and the increased number of times materials are taken out accelerates the damage of the spices.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A highly sealed spice storage tank includes a storage tank, inside which a hollow cylindrical rod is fixedly connected. A member is slidably connected to the upper end of the hollow cylindrical rod. A circular block is fixedly connected to the wall of the member. A first spring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the circular block, and the upper end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper end of the hollow cylindrical rod. A second spring is fixed to the lower end of the circular block, and a pressure block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second spring. The pressure block is slidably connected to the member. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the member, and a movable block is slidably connected to the outer side of the movable plate. A third spring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate, and the lower end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the movable block. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the hollow cylindrical rod, and a limit block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow cylindrical rod.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the limiting block is inclined, and the lower end of the pressing block is parallel to the upper end of the limiting block;

[0008] Preferably, the moving block is arranged in an arc shape;

[0009] Preferably, a feed hopper is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the storage tank, a sealing plate is rotatably connected to the feed hopper, and a discharge valve is fixedly connected to the lower end of the storage tank.

[0010] Preferably, the rod is rectangular in shape, and a handle is provided at the upper end of the rod.

[0011] As can be seen from the above, the advantages of the highly sealed spice storage tank provided by this utility model are: during material retrieval, the set pressure block and moving block can ensure that the inner wall of the storage tank is always in a non-communicating state with the outside world, thus minimizing the entry of external gas into the storage tank, thereby ensuring that the spices are not damaged during storage and improving the storage effect.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-3 A highly sealed spice storage container includes a storage container 1. A hollow circular rod 3 is fixedly connected inside the storage container 1. A rod 2 is slidably connected to the upper end of the hollow circular rod 3, allowing the rod 2 to move up and down relative to the hollow circular rod 3. A circular block 7 is fixedly connected to the wall of the rod 2. Moving the rod 2 causes the circular block 7 to move. A first spring 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the circular block 7, allowing it to return to its original position after movement. The upper end of the first spring 8 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the hollow circular rod 3. A second spring 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the circular block 7, and a pressure block 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second spring 9. The pressure block 10 is slidably connected to the rod 2 and adheres to the inner wall of the hollow circular rod 3. The rod 2 is closed and has a sealing ring on the outside. The lower end of the rod 2 is fixedly connected to a moving plate 15. The movement of the rod 2 drives the moving plate 15 to move up and down. The outer side of the moving plate 15 is slidably connected to a moving block 13. The lower end of the moving plate 15 is fixedly connected to a third spring 14. The third spring 14 has a certain pulling force on the moving block 13. The lower end of the third spring 14 is fixedly connected to the moving block 13. The right side of the hollow rod 3 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 6 for discharging the spices inside. The inner wall of the hollow rod 3 is fixedly connected to a limit block 11. The limit block 11 limits the upward movement distance of the moving block 13. The moving block 13 is arc-shaped, which allows the moving block 13 to pass through the spices better and move downward.

[0020] When spices need to be removed from storage tank 1, the downward movement of rod 2 causes moving plate 15 to move moving block 13 downward, placing the spices inside moving block 13. At the top of moving block 13, rod 2 moves downward, causing round block 7 to move downward, which in turn causes second spring 9 to move downward. Under the action of second spring 9, pressing block 10 downward, pressing against the upper end of limit block 11, thus preventing discharge pipe 6 from communicating with the interior of storage tank 1. When the spices are filled, rod 2 moves upward, causing moving block 13 to move up and down. Moving block 13 continues to move upward, pressing against the limit block 11. When the lower end of block 11 contacts the moving block 13, the moving block 13 can no longer move. At this time, the rod 2 drives the moving plate 15 to move upward relative to the moving block 13. The movement of the moving block 13 drives the fragrance to move and discharge it through the discharge pipe 6. It should be noted that the lower end of the moving block 13 of the initial device is located at the lower end of the inner wall of the hollow rod 3 and is attached to the inner wall of the hollow rod 3. In this way, when taking out the material, the pressure block 10 and the moving block 13 can ensure that the inner wall of the storage tank 1 is always in a non-communication state with the outside world. This will prevent the outside gas from entering the interior of the storage tank 1 as much as possible, thereby ensuring that the fragrance will not be damaged during storage and improving the storage effect.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper end of the limiting block 11 is inclined, and the lower end of the pressing block 10 is parallel to the upper end of the limiting block 11. The inclined setting of the limiting block 11 has a certain guiding effect, so that the spices can smoothly enter the interior of the discharge pipe 6 and then be discharged.

[0022] Reference Figure 2 A feeding hopper 5 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the storage tank 1. A sealing plate 4 is rotatably connected to the feeding hopper 5 for pouring spices into the storage tank 1. A discharge valve 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the storage tank 1, which can discharge all the remaining spices in the storage tank 1.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rod 2 is rectangular, and a handle is provided at the upper end of the rod 2. The rectangle has a certain limit to rotation to prevent the rod 2 from rotating on its own.

[0024] Working principle: When spices need to be retrieved from the storage tank 1, the downward-moving rod 2 causes the moving plate 15 to move the moving block 13 downward, placing the spices inside the moving block 13. The rod 2, moving downward, causes the circular block 7 to move downward, which in turn causes the second spring 9 to move downward. Under the action of the second spring 9, the pressure block 10 moves downward, pressing against the upper end of the limiting block 11, thus decoupling the discharge pipe 6 from the interior of the storage tank 1. When the spices are filled, the rod 2 moves upward, causing the moving block 13 to move up and down continuously. When the lower end of the limiting block 11 is in contact, the moving block 13 can no longer move. At this time, the rod 2 drives the moving plate 15 to move upward relative to the moving block 13. The movement of the moving block 13 drives the fragrance to move and discharge it through the discharge pipe 6. It should be noted that the lower end of the moving block 13 of the initial device is located at the lower end of the inner wall of the hollow rod 3 and is attached to the inner wall of the hollow rod 3. In this way, when taking out the material, the pressure block 10 and the moving block 13 can ensure that the inner wall of the storage tank 1 is always in a non-connected state with the outside world. This will prevent the outside gas from entering the interior of the storage tank 1 as much as possible, thereby ensuring that the fragrance will not be damaged during storage and improving the storage effect.
