A sealing cylindrical surface 203 extending circumferentially is also provided inside the cover body 201. The height of the sealing cylindrical surface 203 is greater than the height of the end face 202, and there is a gap between the sealing cylindrical surface 203 and the end face 202 to form an annular groove end face 204. The upper end of the sealing ring 3 is embedded in the annular groove end face 204, and the lower end of the sealing ring 3 is located between the sealing cylindrical surface 203 and the upper end face 202 of the tank body 1. A one-way valve 4 and a pressure monitoring device 5 are also provided on the cover body 201. It should be noted that, during assembly, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the upper end of the sealing ring 3 is pushed along the sealing cylindrical surface 203 of the upper cover 2 into the annular groove section between the sealing cylindrical surface 203 and the end cover. Then, the lower end of the sealing ring 3 is inserted into the inner side of the tank body 1 to seal the upper cover 2 and the tank body 1. This structure is simple and easy to assemble. The air pressure monitoring device 5 is installed on the cover 201. After connecting the external vacuum pump and the one-way valve 4, the tank body 1 is evacuated to create a negative pressure. The upper cover 2 and the tank body 1 are then sealed together by the sealing ring 3. The structural design of the upper cover 2 and the tank body 1 facilitates automated assembly while ensuring a good sealing effect. At the same time, the air pressure monitoring device 5 installed on the upper cover 2 allows for real-time observation of the air pressure changes inside the storage tank, making it easy for users to judge the freshness of the items inside.
