In detail, the first fixing structures 15 in the embodiment are arranged respectively on two longer sides of the flange 14. The specific structure of the first fixing structure 15 will be explained in the following paragraphs, so further detail thereof is omitted here for brevity. Please refer FIGs. 1, 2 and 3, the shape of the upper lid 20 is corresponding to the shape of the bottom plate 11, so the upper lid 20 in the embodiment is also generally rectangular. The upper lid hermetically covers the opening 13 of the surrounding wall 12 along a vertical direction D (depicted as an up-and-down direction in FIG. 2). The upper lid 20 has a pair of opposite first side frames 21 and a pair of opposite second side frames 22. In the embodiment, each first side frame 21 is corresponding to two longer sides of the surrounding wall 12, each second side frame 22 is corresponding to two shorter sides of the surrounding wall 12, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. Each first side frame 21 has a pair of limiting portions 23. The limiting portions 23 of each first side frame 21 are spaced apart from each other. Each limiting portion 23 defines a slot 231 and a side limiting member 232. In detail, please refer to FIG. 2, each slot 231 in the embodiment is defined on a top of each first side frame 21, each side limiting member 232 in the embodiment is formed at an outside of each first side frame 21. A plurality accommodation spaces (not labeled in figures) respectively for accommodating the insertion ends 33 described later is respectively defined between each side limiting member 322 and each corresponding first side frame 21. Please refer FIGs. 1, 2 and 3, the slidable locking members 30 are arranged opposite to each other in correspondence with the second side frames 22. Each slidable locking member 30 includes a pair of side strips 31 and a pair of connecting strip 32. Each connecting strip 32 is arranged corresponding to each second side frame 22. In each slidable locking members 30, each side strip 31 is connected to a respective one of the two ends of the connecting strip 32, and each side strip 31 covers a part of each first side frame 21. Each slidable locking member 30 has a pair of insertion ends 33, at least one second fixing structure 34, and at least one block plate (baffling plate) 35. Each insertion ends 33 is arranged on an end of each side strip 31 away from the connecting strip 32. Each insertion ends 33 has a positioning insertion piece 331 extended along the first side frames 21. The specific structures and the positions of the second fixing structure 34 and the block plate 35 are described in the following paragraphs, so further detail is omitted here for brevity. Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 10, each slidable locking member 30 may slide along the first side frames 21 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. Please refer to FIG. 4, 5,6, 7, 8, and 9, when each slidable locking member 30 is at the locked position, each positioning insertion piece 331 is inserted and fixed in each slot 231, each side limiting member 232 blocks an outside of each insertion ends 33, each insertion ends 33 is respectively abutted against each corresponding limiting portion 23, each block plate 35 blocks a lower portion of each flange 14 to retain the downward movement of the flange 14 along the vertical direction D (shown in FIG. 9), each second fixing structure 34 is locked with each first fixing structure 15. Please refer FIGs. 10, 11, 12, and 13, when each slidable locking member 30 slides to the unlocked position, each insertion ends 33 is separated from each side limiting member 232, each block plate 35 is separated from each flange 14, each second fixing structure 34 is separated from each first fixing structure 15, thus the upper lid 20 and the slidable locking members 30 may separate from the body 10 (as shown in FIG. 13). As such, the upper lid 20 and the slidable locking members 30 may lock or unlock on the body 10 by sliding the slidable locking members 30 to switch between (move between) the locked position and the unlocked position. Namely, the upper lid 20 and the slidable locking members 30 may quickly and easily lock and unlock on the body 10, and the crisper box of the present disclosure can avoid the slidable locking members 30 from shaking in any direction—left, right, front, back, or up and down—relative to the upper lid 20 or the body 10 when the slidable locking members 30 are locked. It is worth noting that each positioning insertion piece 331 in the embodiment is still inserted in but not fixed in each slot 231 when the slidable locking members 30 are at the unlocked position, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. For example, each positioning insertion piece 331 may also be totally separated from each slot 231 when the slidable locking members 30 are at the unlocked position, this total separation between the positioning insertion piece 331 and the slot 231 does not affect the unlocking of the upper lid 20 and the slidable locking members 30 relative to the body 10. Details are provided as follows. Please refer FIG. 2,3,4,9, 10, and 12, in each slidable locking member 30, the block plate 35 is extended from an inner wall of the connecting strip 32 and is misaligned (staggered) with the flange 14 in the vertical direction D. In detail, the block plate 35 in each slidable locking member 30 is parallel to the flange 14 and lower than the flange 14. Therefore, the block plate 35 may block a lower portion of the flange 14 to prevent the upper lid 20 and the slidable locking members 30 from separating from the body 10 along the vertical direction D when the slidable locking members 30 are at the locked position. In the embodiment, the number of the block plate 35 in each slidable locking member 30 is two, and the block plates 35 in each slidable locking member 30 are arranged at intervals on an inner wall of the connecting strip 32, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the number of the block plate 35 in each slidable locking member 30 also may be one or more than three, as long as the block plate 35 may effectively achieve a blocking effect to the flange 14. Please refer FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the specific structures and the positions of each first fixing structure 15 and each second fixing structure 34 are described as follows. In the embodiment, the number of the second fixing structure 34 in each slidable locking member 30 is two, and the second fixing structures 34 in each slidable locking member 30 are arranged on an inner wall of each side strip 31, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. Each first fixing structure 15 is for example a clamping strip. Two ends of each clamping strip are extended toward the two opposite slidable locking members 30 and the two ends respectively has a first clamping slope 151. Each second fixing structure 34 is for example a wedge block. A side of the wedge block facing to the clamping strip of each wedge block has a second clamping slope 341. As such, each first clamping slope 151 and each second clamping slope 341 are relatively complementary and arranged in parallel. Each second clamping slope 341 is buckled with each first clamping slope 151 to fix each slidable locking member 30 on the body 10 when each slidable locking member 30 is at the locked position. Each second clamping slope 341 is separated from each first clamping slope 151 to release the locking between each slidable locking member 30 and the body 10 when each slidable locking member 30 is at the unlocked position. With reference also to FIG. 6, since the wedge blocks of the second fixing structures 34 in the embodiment are lower than the clamping strips of the first fixing structures 15, the first clamping slopes 151 in the embodiment are separately located under the clamping strips of the first fixing structure 15, and the second clamping slopes 341 in the embodiment are separately located on the wedge blocks of the second fixing structures 34. As such, the first clamping slopes 151 and the second clamping slopes 341 may guide each other when the slidable locking members 30 slide toward the limiting portions 23 (i.e., slide from the unlocked position to the locked position), thus the wedge blocks of the second fixing structure 34 may slide smoothly until they are fixed below the clamping strips of the first fixing structures 15. Please refer FIGs. 2, 3, and 5, each first side frame 21 has a pair of positioning convex-strips 211. Each side strip 31 has a pair of positioning notches 311 arranged at intervals. In detail, the positioning convex-strips 211 in each first side frame 21 are arranged corresponding to the limiting portions 23, the positioning convex-strips 211 are extended along vertical direction on the first side frames 21 and the positioning notches 311 are extended along vertical direction on the side strips 31. Each positioning convex-strip 211 is selectively stuck inside one of the positioning notches 311 of the corresponded side strip 31. As such, each positioning convex-strip 211 is stuck inside the positioning notch 311 adjacent to the corresponded insertion end 33 when the slidable locking members are at the locked position. Each positioning convex-strip 211 is stuck inside the positioning notch 311 away from the corresponded insertion end 33 when the slidable locking members are at the unlocked position. That is, the slidable locking members 30 may achieve a positioning effect either it is at the locked position or at the unlocked position, thus a user may know whether the slidable locking members 30 are at the locked position or at the unlocked position through a feedback tactile sensation of the positioning convex-strips 211 being stuck into one of the positioning notches 311 when operating. Details are provided as follows. Please refer FIGs. 1, 2, 7, 8, and 11, the upper lid has a pair of indentations 24. Each indentation 24 is arranged beside each second side frame 22, and one side of the indentation 24 facing to the corresponded second side frame 22 of each indentation 24 has a stopping surface 241. Atop of each connecting strip 21 has a barb 321. Each barb 321 is buckled with each stopping surface 241 of the corresponded indentations 24 when the slidable locking members 30 are at the unlocked position, thus each slidable locking member 30 is longitudinally restricted to prevent detaching from the upper lid 20. Please refer FIGs. 2, 3, and 8, the slidable locking type airtight container of the present disclosure further includes a sealing ring 40. In the embodiment, the sealing ring 40 is a silicone ring or a rubber ring, but the present disclosure is not limit to this. The upper lid 20 has a groove 25 that is generally rectangular. The sealing ring 40 is fixed in the groove 25 and elastically abutting between the upper lid 20 and the surrounding wall 12 to achieve a sealing effect between the upper lid 20 and the body 10. In the embodiment, the groove 25 is extended upward from a bottom surface of the upper lid 20, thus the sealing ring 40 is elastically abutted on a top end of the surrounding wall 12, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limit to this embodiment. For example, the groove 25 may also be extended inward from an outside surface of the upper lid 20 to make the sealing ring 40 to elastically abut on an inside surface of the surrounding wall 12, or the groove 25 may also be extended outward from an inside surface of the upper lid 20 to make the sealing ring 40 to elastically abut on an outside surface of the surrounding wall 12. It is worth noting that each second clamping slope 341 is respectively buckled with each corresponded first clamping slope 151 to propel the body 10 upward along the vertical direction D when the slidable locking members 30 are at the locked position, thus the sealing ring 40 is elastically abutted between the upper lid 20 and the surrounding wall 12 to effectively ensure a good sealing effect. It shall be understood that the present disclosure may have other types of embodiments, and a person with ordinary skills in the art of the technical field of the present disclosure may make various changes and modifications corresponding to the present disclosure without deviating the principle and substance of the present disclosure; however, such corresponding changes and modification shall be considered to be within the claimed scope of the present disclosure.
