[0035] The side of the connecting portion 111 that is away from the protrusion 112 is called the first side. The connecting portion 111 has two opposing sides, and the side that is away from the protrusion 112 and is used to face the container is the first side.
[0036] The first side surface of the connecting part 111 is flat, the rivet 12 is provided on the connecting part 111, and the ventilation hole 1126 is provided at the lower part of the protrusion 112. Here, "up" and "down" are with reference to the usage state of the ventilator 1.
[0037] The cross-section of the connecting part 111 is square, and a square opening is provided inside it.
[0038] A protrusion 112 is provided at the opening of the connecting portion 111. The protrusion 112 is formed by protruding from the opening of the connecting portion 111 in a direction away from the first side.
[0039] Continue reading Figure 2 The protrusion 112 includes two side walls 1121 spaced apart in the vertical direction and an outer wall 1122 connecting the two side walls 1121. The two side walls 1121 are inclined toward the connecting part 111 in a direction away from each other, and the outer wall 1122 is parallel to the connecting part 111.
[0040] The remaining two sides of the outer wall 1122 are provided with end walls 1123, which are connected between the outer wall 1122 and the connecting part 111.
[0041] That is, the two side walls 1121, the two end walls 1123 and the outer wall 1122 constitute the protrusion 112, and the two side walls 1121, the two end walls 1123 and the outer wall 1122 enclose and form a ventilation groove 113.
[0042] Ventilation holes 1126 are provided on the lower side wall 1121. In this embodiment, a plurality of ventilation holes 1126 are provided on the side wall 1121 located below the outer wall 1122, and the plurality of ventilation holes 1126 are arranged in an array.
[0043] Furthermore, the vertical height of the lower side wall 1121 is greater than the vertical height of the upper side wall 1121.
[0044] The angle between the lower sidewall 1121 and the outer wall 1122 is greater than the angle between the upper sidewall 1121 and the outer wall 1122, resulting in a larger tilt angle for the lower sidewall 1121.
[0045] The ventilator 1 also includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 13 arranged in parallel at intervals, with the plurality of reinforcing ribs 13 spaced apart in the vertical direction.
[0046] Specifically, the reinforcing rib 13 is located inside the ventilation slot 113. The reinforcing rib 13 is U-shaped with its opening facing the first side.
[0047] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 13 is connected to the outer wall 1122 and the end walls 1123 located at both ends of the outer wall 1122.
[0048] Multiple rivets 12 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the ventilator body 11. That is, no rivets 12 are provided on the corresponding sides of the end wall 1123 of the ventilator body 11.
[0049] The rivet 12 is preferably integrally formed on the ventilator body 11, eliminating the need for separate installation of the rivet 12 and making the installation of the ventilator 1 simpler and more convenient.
[0050] Furthermore, when the rivets 12 at the upper and lower ends are arranged, one rivet 12 at one end is located between two adjacent rivets 12 at the other end.
[0051] In this embodiment, there are two rivets 12 at the upper end and one rivet 12 at the lower end, with the lower rivet 12 positioned between the two upper rivets 12. In other embodiments, the number of rivets at the upper and lower ends can be different.
[0052] Furthermore, the connecting part 111 is provided with a water flow channel 1111, which is located below the protrusion 112. The water flow channel 1111 extends vertically and communicates with the ventilation channel 113, with the opening of the water flow channel 1111 facing the first side. Through the water flow channel 1111, water in the ventilation channel 113 can be discharged outward.
[0053] There are multiple drainage channels 1111, which are spaced apart. The drainage channels 1111 are spaced apart from the rivets 12 located below. Preferably, drainage channels 1111 are provided on both sides of the rivets 12.
[0054] The ventilator body 11, rivets 12, and reinforcing ribs 13 are integrally molded. Specifically, the above three components are obtained by integral injection molding.

[0060] Continue reading Figures 4-6 The sealing gasket 14 also includes a flange 143 disposed on the outer periphery of the fitting portion 141, which fits against the outer periphery of the ventilator body 11. That is, the outer periphery of the fitting portion 141 is folded to form the flange 143, and the flange 143 and the snap-fit portion 142 are located on the same side of the fitting portion 141 and both are away from the first side. The design of the flange 143 can improve the sealing performance.
[0061] Furthermore, the sealing gasket 14 also includes folded edges 144 disposed on the inner sides of opposite sides of the fitting portion 141. The folded edges 144 extend in the vertical direction and are located within the ventilation groove 113. Specifically, the folded edges 144 and the snap-fit portion 142 are also located on the same side of the fitting portion 141. The lower end of the folded edges 144 is located above the bottom of the fitting portion 141, and the upper end of the folded edges 144 is located below the top of the fitting portion 141. That is, the folded edges 144 avoid the connecting portions 111 located above and below the protrusion 112.
[0062] The sealing gasket can be made of silicone or rubber.
[0063] This utility model also provides a container, including a container body and at least one of the above-mentioned ventilators 1.
[0064] Specifically, mounting holes are provided on the housing. Multiple rivets 12 of the ventilator 1 are inserted into the corresponding mounting holes to install the ventilator 1. The ventilator 1 is located on the side of the housing and extends vertically.
[0065] The sealing gasket 14 creates a large sealing area between the ventilator 1 and the housing, eliminating the need for additional sealant application in the area where the sealing gasket 14 is located. This saves time and labor costs, and improves efficiency.
[0066] In summary, this ventilator has the following advantages:
[0067] The ventilator 1 includes a ventilator body 11, rivets 12, and a sealing gasket 14. The rivets 12 are inserted into the mounting holes of the housing while the ventilator body 11 is being fitted to the housing, eliminating the need for separate rivet installation and making the installation of the ventilator 1 simpler and more convenient.
