[0045] Example embodiments now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, the example embodiments can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the several views and the description of the figures.
[0046] The words expressing position and direction described in the present application are explained by taking the drawings as an example, but changes can also be made as needed, and the changes made are included in the protection scope of the present application.
[0047] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The container assembly disclosed in the present application comprises a container body 1, a container cover 2 and an air vent 3. In the present application, the container assembly is mainly used for filling desiccant 7, and plays a drying role in terms of moisture-proof and mildew-proof. In addition, the container assembly can be used for filling some preparations with special odor or function, such as solid fragrances, medicaments, or gas filters, etc., which are not specifically limited here.
[0048] Referring to Figures 2 to 5 As shown in the drawings, the container body 1 is generally in a cylindrical structure, and has a certain space inside for placing the filling material, such as the desiccant 7.
[0049] The outer side of the container body 1 is provided with a circumferentially continuous first protrusion 11, which has a first guide surface for guiding the downward movement of the second protrusion 21 on the container cover 2 and a first stop surface for locking with each other. As an example, the longitudinal section of the first protrusion 11 can be trapezoidal (see Figure 4 Of course, the longitudinal section of the first protrusion 11 can also be arched, semicircular, triangular, etc.
[0050] Continuing to see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, the outer shape and caliber of the container cover 2 are matched with the container body 1, so as to close the opening of the container body 1 and form a containing cavity 4 for filling the desiccant 7.
[0051] The inner side of the container cover 2 is provided with a circumferentially continuous second protrusion 21, which has a second guide surface matched with the first protrusion 11 on the container body 1 and a second stop surface. As an example, the longitudinal section of the second protrusion 21 can also be trapezoidal (see Figure 4 , of course, the longitudinal section of the second protrusion 21 can also be arched, semicircular, triangular, etc.
[0052] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the gas permeable holes 3 are arranged on the container body 1 and / or the container cover 2 to realize the circulation of the internal and external gas in the containing cavity 4. The cross section of the gas permeable holes 3 can be at least one of circular, elliptical, triangular, square, etc.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the container body 1 and the top of the container cover 2 are each provided with a gas permeable hole 3, which makes the gas flow path in the container assembly more unobstructed, and the gas can form a continuous circulation in the containing cavity 4. The external gas enters the containing cavity 4 from one gas permeable hole 3 and then leaves from another gas permeable hole 3. This continuous gas flow path makes the gas in the containing cavity 4 more evenly distributed and can be in full contact with the desiccant 7, thereby improving the drying efficiency and effect.
[0054] Moreover, as shown in Figure 3 , the hole diameter of the gas permeable holes 3 gradually decreases from the inside to the outside. This gradual change design can limit the leakage of the desiccant 7, and only needs to ensure that the outermost hole diameter is smaller than the particle size of the desiccant 7. On the other hand, it can guide the gas. In simple terms, the gas passing through the gas permeable holes 3 is guided by the expanded angle and can enter the containing cavity 4 in a more dispersed state, fully contact the desiccant 7, and improve the drying efficiency and effect.
[0055] The above-mentioned container body 1 and container cover 2 can be connected into one through the cooperation of the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 to form a container assembly and a containing cavity 4 for filling the desiccant 7.
[0056] It can be understood that, since the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 are continuous in the circumferential direction (see Figure 2 , the annular structure design makes the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 effectively prevent the desiccant 7 from being clamped between them when the container cover 2 is buckled on the container body 1 after the desiccant 7 is filled in the container body 1, which affects the mutual locking ability, improves the reliability of the combination of the container body 1 and the container cover 2, and avoids the safety hazard caused by the leakage of the desiccant 7.
[0057] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first protrusion 11 can be continuous in the circumferential direction and the second protrusion 21 can be discontinuous in the circumferential direction; or the first protrusion 11 can be discontinuous in the circumferential direction and the second protrusion 21 can be continuous in the circumferential direction; or the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 can both be discontinuous in the circumferential direction.
[0058] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the outer diameter of the first protrusion 11 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the container cover 2, which makes the first protrusion 11 interferingly fit with the inner wall of the container cover 2 to form a seal. And / or, the inner diameter of the second protrusion 21 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the container body 1 at the portion where the second protrusion 21 fits, which makes the second protrusion 21 interferingly fit with the outer periphery of the container body 1 to form a seal.
[0059] As preferred, the outer diameter of the first protrusion 11 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the container cover 2, and the inner diameter of the second protrusion 21 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the container body 1 at the portion where the second protrusion 21 fits.
[0060] In some embodiments, the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 are made of elastic plastic, which makes the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 have a certain deformation ability, facilitating the assembly of the two. Wherein, the first protrusion 11 can be integrally formed with the container body 1, and the second protrusion 21 can be integrally formed with the container cover 2.
[0061] In some embodiments, the inner bottom of the container body 1 and / or the inner top of the container cover 2 is provided with a reinforcing rib 5, so as to improve the structural strength of the container body 1 and / or the container cover 2 and ensure the reliability of the container assembly. As an example, as shown in FIG. 2, the reinforcing rib 5 can be a cross rib formed on the inner bottom of the container body 1. Figure 5
[0062] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the outer bottom of the container body 1 and / or the outer top of the container cover 2 is provided with a recessed area 6 formed by injection molding of the container body 1 and / or the container cover 2, which can be used for positioning on the container assembly, facilitating transportation or stacking.
[0063] Referring to Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the end of the container body 1 close to the container cover 2 is provided with an outer chamfer 12, and correspondingly, the end of the container cover 2 close to the container body 1 is provided with an inner chamfer 22. Through the cooperation of the inner chamfer 22 and the outer chamfer 12, the container body 1 and the container cover 2 are facilitated to be butted, effectively improving the assembly efficiency.
[0064] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 5, in a specific embodiment, the container assembly is of a cylindrical structure, and the diameter of the container assembly is 6-10 mm and the height is 8-12 mm. This container assembly has a small volume, and is especially suitable for use in a small space environment. As an example, the diameter of the container assembly can be set to 8 mm and the height can be set to 10 mm. Of course, the container assembly can also be a cuboid structure, a multi-prism structure or even a spherical structure, which is not limited herein.
[0065] In some preferable embodiments, the container body 1 is also fixed with the container cover 2 by heat melting, and the heat melting can be performed by ultrasonic welding, so as to further improve the connecting effect of the container body 1 and the container cover 2. By means of the double fixing, the leakage of the drying agent 7 caused by the separation of the container body 1 and the container cover 2 is effectively prevented, and the safety and reliability of use are improved.
