Detailed Implementation

[0025] The advantages and features of this utility model will be illustrated and explained through the following non-limiting description of preferred embodiments, which are given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a cooling oil container, including a container shell 100. The container shell 100 is a columnar structure with an opening at one end and a hollow interior. The opening is preferably at one end along the length of the container shell 100, and is used to contain solid substances such as cooling oil.

[0027] The spiral groove 200 is formed on the inner surface of the container shell 100, preferably on the inner surface of the container shell 100 in the length direction. The spiral groove 200 provides a guide path for the movement of subsequent components. Its pitch and depth are precisely designed to adapt to the overall mechanical movement requirements.

[0028] The positioning component 300 is rotatably mounted at the opening of the container shell 100 and extends into the interior of the container shell 100. Its function is to provide stable positioning and support for the sliding of the lifting tray 400, ensuring that the lifting tray 400 maintains a stable trajectory during movement.

[0029] The lifting tray 400 is set inside the container shell 100 and is slidably connected to the container shell 100. The surface of the lifting tray 400 is perpendicular to the sliding direction, that is, it slides along the positioning component 300. The lifting tray 400 is used to carry solid cooling oil products. Its size and shape are adapted to the inside of the container shell 100. During the sliding process, the cooling oil can be pushed out and retracted.

[0030] A sliding head 500 is disposed between the lifting tray 400 and the container shell 100 and is fixedly connected to the lifting tray 400. At the same time, the sliding head 500 also slides along the spiral groove 200 and drives the lifting tray 400 to rise and fall when sliding. When the sliding head 500 moves along the spiral groove 200, it will drive the lifting tray 400 connected to it to achieve a stable lifting and lowering action according to the direction of the spiral groove 200, thereby controlling the amount of cooling oil used.

[0031] The container cap 600 is detachably fastened to the positioning component 300. The function of the container cap 600 is to effectively protect the menthol oil inside the container from external contamination when the container is not in use, while preventing its evaporation and ensuring that the quality and efficacy of the menthol oil are preserved for a long time.

[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0033] In use, hold the positioning component 300 or the container shell 100 by hand, and then rotate the container shell 100 or the positioning component 300 so that the positioning component 300 and the container shell 100 rotate relative to each other. During the rotation, the sliding head 500 will drive the lifting tray 400 to rise and fall. When the lifting tray 400 rises, it will cause the cooling oil to extend out of the container shell 100 for use. When it falls, it will cause the cooling oil to be stored inside the container shell 100. Then, the container cap 600 can be fastened onto the positioning component 300.

[0034] The cooling oil is driven to rise and pass through the positioning component 300 to the outside for use when the container shell 100 rotates, through the cooperation of the spiral groove 200 and the sliding head 500. At the same time, the cooling oil can be stored inside the container shell 100 by rotating in the opposite direction, so that the cooling oil can be conveniently accessed without the need for the laborious opening of a traditional tin box.

[0035] The lifting tray 400 ensures proper installation of the cooling oil and allows for its push-out and retraction during the sliding process. It also prevents direct contact between fingers and the cooling oil during use, making it more hygienic.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the positioning component 300 includes:

[0037] The receiving ring 310 is rotatably fastened to the opening of the container shell 100, ensuring smooth and unobstructed rotation and good sealing.

[0038] Multiple extension plates 320 are provided, preferably four. One end of each extension plate 320 is fixedly connected to the receiving ring 310, and the other end is detachably connected to the lower support plate 330. At the same time, the extension plates 320 also pass through the lifting tray 400, providing a stable support and transmission path for the lifting tray 400.

[0039] The lower support plate 330 is detachably mounted on the end of the container shell 100 away from the opening and is detachably connected to multiple extension plates 320 so that it can be easily disassembled, maintained or replaced when needed, while also blocking the lifting pallet 400.

[0040] The lower tray 330 facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the container's interior, making it suitable for various scenarios, whether for daily use or carrying it out.

[0041] The inner surface of the receiving ring 310 is connected to a blocking ring 340 that comes into contact with the mentholatum, which can effectively prevent the mentholatum from shaking in the container.

[0042] The design of the blocking ring 340 alters the stress position of the menthol balm, preventing it from breaking from the bottom during application or under external force, thus increasing its durability.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the lifting tray 400 has multiple guide holes 410, which are perpendicular to the surface of the lifting tray 400 and are adapted to the extension plate 320. The lifting tray 400 is slidably connected to the extension plate 320 through the guide holes 410.

[0044] The guide hole 410 and the extension plate 320 are highly compatible, providing a stable and precise guiding effect for the smooth movement of the extension plate 320.

[0045] Preferably, the contact points between the guide through hole 410 and the extension plate 320 are provided with friction marks to increase friction. That is, the contact points between the guide through hole 410 and the extension plate 320 are roughened. The guide through hole 410 preferably has transverse friction marks, which are evenly distributed, have a fine wavy shape, and have a depth controlled between 0.1 and 0.2 mm. The extension plate 320 preferably has longitudinal friction marks, which are created by a special sanding process to match the friction marks on the guide through hole 410.

[0046] The stability of the lifting tray 400 is increased by the cooperation between the guide hole 410 and the friction marks on the extension plate 320, so as to prevent the cooling oil from sliding downward when used or subjected to external force.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a clamping sleeve 430 is fixedly installed on the side of the lifting tray 400 near the opening of the container shell 100. The clamping sleeve 430 is cylindrical in shape and made of plastic with certain toughness and strength to ensure that it is not easily deformed during long-term use. The diameter of the clamping sleeve 430 is smaller than the diameter of the central channel of the blocking ring 340, which can accurately achieve the expected structural matching function and prevent interference or misalignment between components during device operation.

[0048] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer side of the receiving ring 310 is provided with multiple limiting grooves 311, and the part of the container cap 600 that contacts the positioning component 300 is provided with multiple elastic protrusions 610. The elastic protrusions 610 are inserted into the limiting grooves 311 when the container cap 600 is fastened. At the same time, a sealing gasket structure is provided at the connection between the container cap 600 and the receiving ring 310.

[0049] When the container cap 600 is fastened, the elastic protrusion 610 can be accurately and smoothly inserted into the limiting groove 311. The friction generated by the elastic deformation of the elastic protrusion 610 makes the connection between the container cap 600 and the receiving ring 310 tighter and more stable.

[0050] The working method of this utility model:

[0051] Hold the positioning component 300 or the container shell 100 and then rotate the container shell 100 or the positioning component 300 so that the positioning component 300 and the container shell 100 rotate relative to each other. Since the extension plate 320 cooperates with the guide through hole 410 on the lifting tray 400 and the sliding head 500 slides along the spiral groove 200, the lifting tray 400 rises smoothly and pushes out the cooling oil.

[0052] After use, rotate the container shell 100 or the positioning component 300 in the opposite direction, and the lifting tray 400 will descend, and the cooling oil will be returned to the container.

[0053] When the container cap 600 is fastened, the elastic protrusion 610 and the limiting groove 311 fit tightly together to ensure a good seal of the container and prevent the menthol oil from evaporating. The lower support plate 330 is detachable, making it convenient to clean and maintain the inside of the container. In different scenarios, whether for daily use or carrying it out, the menthol oil container of this utility model can provide users with a convenient and hygienic menthol oil usage experience.

[0054] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may have other implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope claimed by the present invention.
