Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container design and pharmaceutical and health product storage technology, specifically to a storage container for wine-processed propolis. Background Technology

[0002] Wine-processed propolis has unique application value in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. It is a product obtained by extracting propolis with ethanol through a specific process. It is rich in a variety of active ingredients, such as flavonoids and terpenes. These ingredients endow wine-processed propolis with a variety of pharmacological effects, showing good activity in anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and antibacterial properties. It is widely used in the fields of medicine and health products.

[0003] However, wine-processed propolis faces numerous challenges during storage. First, its complex composition and the coexistence of multiple active ingredients result in poor chemical stability. During storage, it is easily affected by external environmental factors. For example, temperature fluctuations can accelerate chemical reaction rates, leading to the oxidation and degradation of active ingredients; light exposure may trigger photochemical reactions, damaging the structure of active ingredients; and humidity changes may affect the physical state of propolis, causing it to absorb moisture or dry out, thereby altering the distribution and interactions of its internal components.

[0004] Secondly, wine-processed propolis is highly susceptible to precipitation and aggregation during storage. Because it may contain substances with limited solubility, these substances may gradually precipitate out over time, affecting the appearance of the propolis and making it cloudy. Simultaneously, interactions between some components, such as intermolecular aggregation, may occur, leading to aggregation and further impacting its uniformity and the stability of its efficacy. This non-uniformity not only makes it difficult to accurately control the dosage when using wine-processed propolis but also reduces its effectiveness and reliability in pharmaceutical and health applications.

[0005] Currently, conventional practices for storing wine-processed propolis mainly focus on controlling environmental conditions, such as placing it in a low-temperature, light-proof, and well-sealed environment. While these measures help slow down the deterioration of wine-processed propolis to some extent, they lack effective solutions for existing sedimentation and uneven composition issues. In practical applications, once sedimentation and aggregation occur in wine-processed propolis, it is often difficult to restore its uniformity and stability through simple environmental adjustments, which significantly limits its long-term storage and effective utilization.

[0006] Furthermore, some existing storage containers are not optimized for the characteristics of wine-processed propolis. Ordinary containers cannot effectively prevent sedimentation or promote uniform mixing of components when storing wine-processed propolis, failing to meet the requirements for long-term storage and maintaining stable quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage container specifically designed for wine-processed propolis to solve the aforementioned problems during storage, ensure its quality, efficacy, and stability, and enhance its application value in medicine, health care, and other fields. Utility Model Content

[0007] Based on the technical problems described above, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a storage container for wine-processed propolis. This utility model, by periodically inverting the container within a specific structure, utilizes gravity and partitions to achieve uniform mixing and prevent sedimentation of the wine-processed propolis, ensuring its quality, efficacy, and stability, and enhancing its application value.

[0008] Specifically, this utility model provides a storage container for wine-processed propolis, characterized in that the storage container includes a sealable lid and a body; the body has an opening, a bottom opposite the opening, and one or more partitions located between the opening and the bottom; the one or more partitions are respectively configured to be vertical and fixed to the side wall of the body, wherein each of the one or more partitions has one or more through holes in a direction parallel to the side wall of the body, and the ratio of the total area of ​​the one or more through holes to the area of ​​the partition where the one or more through holes are located is in the range of 1:5 to 3:5.

[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It will be understood that other embodiments may be implemented without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description is non-limiting.

[0015] Unless otherwise specified, all figures used in this specification and claims to indicate feature dimensions, quantities, and physical properties should be understood to be modified by the term "about" in all cases. Therefore, unless stated to the contrary, the numerical parameters listed in the foregoing specification and appended claims are approximations, and those skilled in the art can appropriately modify these approximations to obtain the desired characteristics using the teachings disclosed herein. The use of numerical ranges indicated by endpoints includes all numbers within that range and any range within that range; for example, 1 to 5 includes 1, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 2, 2.75, 3, 3.80, 4, and 5, etc.

[0016] As mentioned above, wine-processed propolis has a complex composition containing multiple active ingredients and poor chemical stability. During storage, environmental factors such as temperature, light, and humidity can easily oxidize and degrade the active ingredients, potentially altering their physical state and leading to changes in the distribution and interactions of internal components. Furthermore, precipitation and aggregation are highly likely during storage. The limited solubility of some components can cause precipitation, affecting appearance, and interactions between components can lead to aggregation, impacting uniformity and efficacy stability. This makes accurate dosage control difficult, reducing effectiveness and reliability in pharmaceutical and health applications. Existing storage methods primarily focus on environmental condition control, lacking effective solutions to existing precipitation and component inhomogeneity problems. Moreover, existing storage containers are not optimized for the characteristics of wine-processed propolis, failing to effectively prevent precipitation and promote uniform mixing, thus failing to meet the requirements for long-term storage and quality stability. The technical solution of this utility model aims to solve the above technical problems.

[0017] Specifically, this utility model provides a storage container for wine-processed propolis, characterized in that the storage container includes a sealable lid and a body; the body has an opening, a bottom opposite the opening, and one or more partitions located between the opening and the bottom; the one or more partitions are respectively configured to be vertical and fixed to the side wall of the body, wherein each of the one or more partitions has one or more through holes in a direction parallel to the side wall of the body, and the ratio of the total area of ​​the one or more through holes to the area of ​​the partition where the one or more through holes are located is in the range of 1:5 to 3:5.

[0018] Figure 1 A longitudinal cross-sectional schematic diagram of a storage container 100 for wine-processed propolis according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown. Specifically, the storage container 100 includes a sealable lid 2 and a body 3; the body 3 has an opening 4, a bottom 5 opposite to the opening 4, and a partition 6 located between the opening 4 and the bottom 5; the partition 6 is configured to be vertical and fixed to the side wall 7 of the body 3, wherein the partition 6 has a through hole 8 in a direction parallel to the side wall 7 of the body 3.

[0019] Figure 2 Showing Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the storage container for wine-made propolis, cut along the partition.

[0020] Figure 3 The diagram shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a storage container 200 for wine-processed propolis according to another specific embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the storage container includes three partitions 6, wherein the ratio of the total area A of the one or more through holes 8 to the total area B of the partition 6 where the one or more through holes 8 are located is in the range of 1:5 to 3:5.

[0021] Figure 4 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of a storage container for wine-processed propolis according to another specific embodiment of the present invention. The storage container is a cylindrical container, and the partition 6 includes 6 through holes 8.

[0022] Figure 5 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of a storage container for wine-processed propolis according to another specific embodiment of the present invention. The storage container is a square barrel, and the partition 6 includes a through hole 8.

[0023] The storage container 100 consists of a sealable lid 2 and a body 3. The lid 2 fits tightly with the body 3 to form a sealed space, preventing the intrusion of external impurities and the evaporation of ethanol. The body 3 has an opening 4, a bottom 5, and one or more partitions 6 located between the two. The opening 4 facilitates the filling and retrieval of the wine-processed propolis, and the bottom 5 is used to hold the wine-processed propolis.

[0024] The partition 6 is vertically fixed to the side wall 7 of the main body 3, and has one or more through holes 8 in a direction parallel to the side wall 7. The ratio of the total area A of the through holes 8 to the area B of the partition 6 is between 1:5 and 3:5 (preferably 3:10 to 5:10). Controlling this ratio is crucial for the uniform mixing of the wine-processed propolis and for preventing sedimentation. If the ratio is too small, the flow of the wine-processed propolis between the partitions is restricted, which is not conducive to thorough mixing; if the ratio is too large, the mixing effect may be poor, and the aggregation of components may not be effectively broken.

[0025] The cross-sectional shape of the main body 3, perpendicular to the side wall 7, can be circular, square, or rectangular. A circular cross-section facilitates uniform circulation when the propolis is inverted during winemaking, promoting mixing; square and rectangular cross-sections offer advantages in space utilization and container stacking.

[0026] The storage container has 3 to 10 (preferably 3 to 6) parallel and spaced-apart partitions in a direction perpendicular to the sidewall 7. An appropriate number of partitions can increase the mixing layers; too few partitions will not mix thoroughly, while too many partitions will increase cost and structural complexity.

[0027] Each partition 6 preferably has 5-20 (more preferably 6-10) through holes 8. The shape of the through holes 8 can be circular, square, rectangular, rhomboid, or triangular, etc. Different numbers and shapes of through holes affect the flow resistance and pattern of the propolis in the wine, and reasonable setting can optimize the flow path and mixing degree.

[0028] Preferably, the thickness of the partition 6 is between 0.5mm and 5mm. This thickness can ensure the structural strength of the partition during use, withstand the pressure of the wine-processed propolis and the impact of inversion, without taking up too much space or increasing the weight.

[0029] Preferably, the sidewalls and bottom of the main body 3 are coated with an anti-stick coating, such as polytetrafluoroethylene or a ceramic coating, to prevent the wine-processed propolis from adhering to the inner wall, ensuring complete pouring, reducing residue, and avoiding local deterioration that affects the overall quality.

[0030] Preferably, the cover 2 and the main body 3 are sealed with a rubber sealing ring. The Shore hardness of the rubber sealing ring is preferably 40A-70A to ensure good sealing performance, prevent ethanol evaporation and impurity entry, and ensure sealing effect after multiple opening and closing.

[0031] Preferably, the storage container is provided with a transparent observation window, the area of ​​which occupies 1 / 10 to 1 / 5 of the main body side area, so as to facilitate intuitive observation of the storage status of the wine-processed propolis, such as color, transparency, sedimentation, etc., so as to take timely measures.

[0032] During the storage of wine-processed propolis, the storage container is inverted periodically (e.g., once a month), causing the wine-processed propolis to flow in the opposite direction under the influence of gravity.

[0033] According to the technical solution of this utility model, the quality, efficacy and stability of wine-processed propolis are ensured during storage, improving its application value in the fields of medicine and health products. It solves the problems of sedimentation and uneven composition that cannot be effectively solved by existing storage methods and containers, making the dosage control of wine-processed propolis more accurate during use, and improving its effectiveness and reliability.
