Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese Patent Application No. 2024223350136, filed on September 25, 2024, entitled "A Tube Cap Container with Dual Drying Function". Technical Field
[0002] This utility model relates to the field of container moisture-proof technology, and in particular to a pipe cap container with dual drying functions. Background Technology
[0003] A capped container is a container used to store products (such as test strips, candy, medicine, etc.) and protect them from external moisture to prevent them from affecting their performance.
[0004] For existing capped containers, they mainly rely on desiccant granules sealed inside the cap for moisture absorption and protection. However, in environments or climates with high humidity, the actual moisture protection effect of relying solely on the desiccant inside the cap is not significant, especially for stored items located at the bottom of the tube, which are prone to moisture absorption and deterioration.
[0005] Secondly, once the desiccant particles are saturated with water, their moisture-proof function also fails. It is difficult to replace the desiccant particles in the existing cap container, and the cap container is difficult to reuse, resulting in high costs for storing products and being detrimental to environmental protection. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tube cap container with dual drying function, which improves the moisture-proof performance of the tube cap container by using a dual drying method at the top and bottom, effectively preventing stored items from getting damp or deteriorating.
[0007] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] A pipe cap container with dual drying function, comprising:
[0009] The container body has a first drying element that is snapped and fixed to its inner bottom;
[0010] A sealing cap is provided at the opening of the container body, and a second drying element is provided on the inner top of the sealing cap and engaged with it.
[0011] In the above scheme, during storage, the first and second drying units work together to dry the stored items, and the moisture-proof range covers the entire container space, which can ensure that the moisture-proof effect of each part of the stored items is consistent, thereby avoiding problems such as moisture absorption and deterioration of the stored items.
[0012] In addition, when the drying function of the tube cap container is about to fail, the first drying element and the second drying element 4 can be removed from the container body and the sealing cap respectively, and the new first drying element and the second drying element can be replaced to restore the drying function of the tube cap container, thereby reducing the cost of use.
[0013] In some embodiments, the inner bottom of the container body is provided with a support portion and the inner wall is provided with a first protrusion;
[0014] The first drying element is laid on the support and is snapped and fixed to the first protrusion.
[0015] In the above solution, the lower end of the first drying component is supported by the support part, and the upper edge of the first drying component is secured by the first protrusion. The first drying component can be quickly installed in the inner bottom area of the container body, with good fixing effect and convenient disassembly.
[0016] In some embodiments, the first protrusions are circumferentially spaced on the inner wall of the container body.
[0017] In the above scheme, the first protrusions arranged at circumferential intervals are more conducive to the first drying component passing over itself and contacting the support, which facilitates assembly.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first protrusion is circumferentially continuous on the inner wall of the container body.
[0019] In the above scheme, the circumferentially continuous first protrusion will make the pressing resistance of the first drying component relatively large, but the first protrusion will have a better effect on the snap-fit and fixation of the first drying component, thereby ensuring the stability of the first drying component after installation.
[0020] In some embodiments, a hollow cavity is provided in the inner wall of the container body, and the hollow cavity corresponds to the position of the first protrusion.
[0021] In the above scheme, the presence of the hollow cavity gives the first protrusion a certain degree of elasticity. When the first drying component is installed, the first protrusion is squeezed and shrinks. After the first drying component is in place, the first protrusion can be reset and re-engaged with the first protrusion to improve the smoothness of installation.
[0022] In some embodiments, the hollow cavity is filled with an inert gas.
[0023] In the above scheme, filling with inert gas can increase the elasticity of the first protrusion, prevent collapse, and ensure that it has a good snap-fit and fixing effect after resetting.
[0024] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the container body is further provided with a groove, which is circumferentially continuous and located below the first drying element.
[0025] In the above solution, the groove is used to prevent product defects caused by local internal shrinkage during the injection molding of the container body, thereby improving the molding quality.
[0026] In some embodiments, the sealing cap includes:
[0027] An attachment ring is fitted onto the opening of the container body;
[0028] The cap body is flip-connected to the attachment ring, and the cap body is in a sealing fit with the opening of the container body.
[0029] In some embodiments, a circumferentially continuous second protrusion is provided on the side wall of the chamber of the cover body;
[0030] The outer periphery of the second drying element is provided with a matching groove for engaging and fixing with the second protrusion.
[0031] In the above solution, by setting the second protrusion and matching groove, the second drying component can be quickly snapped and fixed inside the cover body, with good fixing effect and convenient disassembly.
[0032] In some embodiments, the distance between the first drying element and the second drying element is no greater than 40 mm.
[0033] In the above scheme, since the cap container itself is only used to hold small-volume stored items, if the spacing is too large, it may affect the moisture-proof effect. A spacing of no more than 40mm can ensure that the cap container has good drying ability.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include at least the following:
[0035] 1. By using a double drying method at the top and bottom, the moisture-proof performance of the container with the cap is improved, effectively preventing the stored items from getting damp or deteriorating.
[0036] 2. The dryer is easy to assemble and disassemble, allowing the cap and container to be reused, thus reducing the cost of storing products. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted.
[0044] The terms used to describe position and direction in this utility model are illustrated with the accompanying drawings, but changes can be made as needed, and all such changes are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0045] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a tube cap container with dual drying functions, including a container body 1 and a sealing cap 2.
[0046] The container body 1 can be a container such as a pipe or can, closed at the bottom but open at the top, to hold stored items. Furthermore, a first drying element 3 is snap-fitted to the inner bottom of the container body 1 to dry the bottom area of the container body 1. In this application, the first drying element 3 is a circular solid desiccant, which is laid flat on the inner bottom area of the container body 1 in a snap-fit manner, providing a large drying area. After absorbing water and becoming saturated, the first drying element 3 can be disassembled and replaced, allowing the container body 1 to regain its drying capacity, thereby achieving cost savings and reuse.
[0047] A sealing cap 2 is disposed at the opening of the container body 1 to seal the container body 1 and form a moisture-proof space for the internal storage. In this application, the sealing cap 2 includes an attachment ring 21 and a cap body 22; wherein, the attachment ring 21 is sleeved on the opening of the container body 1, and the cap body 22 is flip-connected to the attachment ring 21 and can seal with the opening of the container body 1.
[0048] Furthermore, a second drying element 4 is provided inside the sealing cap 2 and is snapped into place therewith, thereby drying the top area of the container body 1. In this application, the second drying element 4 is a U-shaped solid desiccant, which is fixed inside the sealing cap 2 by snapping. The U-shaped structure reduces the weight of the second drying element 4, making it not only low-cost but also reducing the adverse effects of gravity on the stability and firmness of the snap-fit. On the other hand, the U-shaped structure increases the contact area between the second drying element 4 and the air, allowing both its surface and inner layers to absorb moisture, thus significantly improving the utilization rate and drying performance of the second drying element 4. After saturation with water, the second drying element 4 can also be disassembled and replaced, allowing the sealing cap 2 to regain its drying capacity.
[0049] When using this dual-drying container, open the main body 22 of the sealing cap 2. The folding angle of the main body 22 is approximately 0°-270°. After placing the stored item inside the container body 1, close the main body 22 to the container body 1. During storage, the first drying element 3 and the second drying element 4 work together to dry the stored item. The moisture-proof range covers the entire container space, ensuring that the moisture-proof effect is consistent throughout the stored item, thereby preventing problems such as moisture absorption and spoilage.
[0050] When the drying function of the tube cap container is about to fail, remove the first drying element 3 and the second drying element 4 from the container body 1 and the sealing cap 2 respectively, and replace them with new first drying elements 3 and second drying elements 4 to restore the drying function of the tube cap container.
[0051] See Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a support portion 11 is provided on the inner bottom of the container body 1 to support the first drying component 3. In this application, the support portion 11 is preferably a platform structure, located in the central region of the inner bottom of the container body 1, and can be formed by an upward indentation from the lower end of the container body 1 to fully fit and support the first drying component 3. In addition, a first protrusion 12 is provided on the inner wall of the container body 1 for fixing the first drying component 3. In this application, the first protrusion 12 can be integrally formed with the container body 1, and the cross-section of the first protrusion 12 is an arc-shaped structure, which gives it good guiding and limiting capabilities, facilitating assembly with the first drying component 3.
[0052] During installation, the first drying component 3 is laid on the support part 11, and the first protrusion 12 presses the edge of the first drying component 3 to lock and fix it.
[0053] Example 1
[0054] Example 1 discloses an installation structure for a first drying element 3 and a second drying element 4 of a tube cap container with dual drying functions.
[0055] See Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the first protrusions 12 are circumferentially spaced on the inner wall of the container body 1. When installing the first drying component 3, the first drying component 3 is inserted into the container body 1, so that it passes over the first protrusions 12. The lower end of the first drying component 3 contacts the support part 11, and the upper edge is engaged and fixed with the first protrusions 12.
[0056] A circumferentially continuous second protrusion 221 is provided on the side wall of the chamber of the cover body 22, and a matching groove 41 is provided on the outer periphery of the second drying element 4 for engaging and fixing with the second protrusion 221. When installing the second drying element 4, the second drying element 4 is inserted into the side wall of the chamber of the cover body 22 until the second protrusion 221 engages and is fixed with the matching groove 41.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] Example 2 discloses another installation structure for the first drying element 3 and the second drying element 4 of a tube cap container with dual drying functions.
[0059] See Figure 4 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the first protrusion 12 is continuously arranged on the inner wall of the container body 1 in a circumferential direction.
[0060] The installation method of the first drying element 3 and the second drying element 4 in Embodiment 2 is the same as that in Embodiment 1. However, when installing the first drying element 3, the circumferentially continuous first protrusion 12 will make the pressing resistance of the first drying element 3 slightly greater than that in Embodiment 1, but the first protrusion 12 will have a better effect on the first drying element 3 in locking and fixing.
[0061] Example 3
[0062] Example 3 also discloses an installation structure for a first drying element 3 and a second drying element 4 of a tube cap container with dual drying functions.
[0063] See Figure 5 As shown, Embodiment 3 is based on Embodiment 2, but differs in that: a hollow cavity 13 is provided in the inner wall of the container body 1, and the hollow cavity 13 corresponds to the position of the first protrusion 12. The presence of the hollow cavity 13 gives the first protrusion 12 a certain degree of elasticity. When the first drying component 3 is installed, the first protrusion 12 is squeezed and shrinks. After the first drying component 3 is in place, the first protrusion 12 can be reset and re-engaged with the first protrusion 12, thereby improving the smoothness of installation.
[0064] Furthermore, the hollow cavity 13 is filled with an inert gas, such as nitrogen. By filling it with an inert gas, the elasticity of the first protrusion 12 can be increased, preventing collapse and ensuring a good snap-fit fixation effect after resetting.
[0065] join Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the container body 1 is also provided with a groove 14. The groove 14 is circumferentially continuous and located below the first drying element 3. Specifically, it can be located at the bottom corner of the container body 1 to prevent product defects caused by local internal shrinkage during the injection molding of the container body and improve the molding quality.
[0066] In some embodiments, the distance between the first drying element 3 and the second drying element 4 is no greater than 40 mm. Since the container itself is only used to hold small-volume stored items, a larger distance may affect the moisture-proof effect. In this application, the distance between the first drying element 3 and the second drying element 4 can be 30 mm to 36 mm.
[0067] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and all such changes should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
