Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealed storage tank technology, specifically a sealed storage tank for probiotics. Background Technology

[0002] Probiotics, as beneficial live microorganisms, rely heavily on the activity of their bacterial strains for efficacy. However, most probiotics (such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus) are extremely sensitive to their storage environment: oxygen in the air can easily trigger oxidation reactions that lead to strain inactivation, while humidity can cause powder to clump or capsules to become deliquescent. Traditional storage containers (such as ordinary medicine boxes and glass bottles) generally suffer from insufficient sealing and poor portability, making it difficult to meet the stringent storage requirements of probiotics.

[0003] Currently, probiotic storage products on the market suffer from two main drawbacks: First, their sealing structures are simplistic, mostly relying on simple threads or snap-fit ​​connections, which easily lead to decreased airtightness due to wear and tear over long-term use. Second, their ergonomic design is lacking; traditional containers are mostly cylindrical, making them slippery to hold, and the lids are easily lost or contaminated after opening. Furthermore, while some high-end products employ vacuum sealing or cold chain storage, their high cost and poor portability hinder their widespread adoption in everyday household use. These technological shortcomings make it difficult for existing storage containers to balance airtightness, convenience, and economy, limiting the storage effectiveness and user experience of probiotic products.

[0008] A sealed storage container for probiotics includes a container body and a lid for sealing the container body. The container body is a cylinder that is wider at both ends and narrower in the middle. The middle part of the container body has multiple anti-slip grooves. The upper part of the container body has a lower ring groove. The lid has an upper ring groove. A connecting strip is installed between the lower ring groove and the upper ring groove. The outer ring of the container body is threadedly connected to the outer ring thread of the lid to seal the container body. A sealing block is fixedly connected inside the lid.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting band is composed of a circular band that matches the diameter of the lower and upper annular grooves and a connecting band that connects the two circular bands.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting band is an elastic band.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing block is in the shape of a boss, and the diameter of the sealing block is adapted to the diameter of the tank.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a sealed storage container for probiotics, including a container body 1 and a lid 2 for sealing the container body 1. The container body 1 is a cylinder that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. The narrowing design in the middle makes it easy to hold, while the widening at both ends increases the internal storage space, which is ergonomic.

[0025] The middle part of the can 1 is provided with multiple anti-slip grooves 3 to increase the friction between the hand and the can 1, making it easier to unscrew or tighten the lid 2, especially suitable for users with wet hands or less strength.

[0026] The upper part of the tank body 1 is provided with a lower ring groove 4, and the cover 2 is provided with an upper ring groove 5. A connecting strap 6 is installed between the lower ring groove 4 and the upper ring groove 5. After the cover 2 is opened, it is connected to the tank body 1 through the connecting strap 6 to prevent the cover 2 from being separated and lost.

[0027] The outer ring of the can 1 is threadedly connected to the outer thread of the lid 2 through the outer protruding thread, so that the lid 2 seals the can 1. The lid 2 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sealing block 7. When the lid 2 is tightened, the sealing block 7 is embedded in the top opening of the can 1, forming a physical sealing barrier to isolate air and moisture and prevent probiotics from getting damp or oxidized and inactive.

[0028] The working principle of this probiotic sealed storage container is as follows: the outer thread of the container 1 connects with the outer thread of the lid 2, allowing the lid 2 to be screwed tightly onto the container 1. Simultaneously, the diameter of the raised sealing block 7 inside the lid 2 matches the diameter of the container 1 and embeds into the top opening of the container 1, forming a sealing barrier to isolate air and moisture. The connecting strap 6 primarily prevents the lid 2 from being lost; its elasticity ensures that the lid 2 remains connected to the container 1 after opening, preventing separation and loss. The anti-slip groove 3 in the middle of the container 1 increases friction for easier gripping of the lid, while the rounded corners enhance safety. The plastic material balances lightweight design and cost. The sealing function mainly relies on the cooperation of the threaded connection and the sealing block 7; the connecting strap 6 does not directly participate in the sealing but rather enhances ease of use.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting band 6 is composed of an annular band that matches the diameter of the lower annular groove 4 and the upper annular groove 5, and a connecting band 6 that connects the two annular bands, and is a specific component of the connecting band 6.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting band 6 is an elastic band, which is convenient to use and shape.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing block 7 is in the shape of a boss, and the diameter of the sealing block 7 is adapted to the diameter of the can body 1. As the inner core component of the lid 2, after being embedded in the opening of the can body 1, the side of the boss is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the can body 1, which prevents air and moisture from entering the interior of the can body 1 and prevents the probiotics from being deliquescent or oxidized and inactive.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the can body 1 and the lid 2 are made of plastic; plastic has a low density and is lighter than glass, making it suitable for daily carrying or use when going out.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the corners of both the container body 1 and the lid 2 are rounded. The rounded corner design optimizes safety, comfort, and ease of cleaning, making the storage container more suitable for home use and reflecting a human-centered design philosophy.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
