[0017] The technical aspects of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in relation to the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without performing creative labors belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0018] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the drawings below are intended to distinguish between similar objects without necessarily being used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this manner can be interchanged where appropriate, such that the embodiments of this application described herein can be practiced, for example, in an order other than that shown or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprise" and "have" and all variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units explicitly listed, but may include steps or units not explicitly listed or other steps or units inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0019] For ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "above...", "above...", "on top of...", "above" are used herein to describe the spatial location of one device or feature relative to another device or feature as shown in the figures. It is understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation of the device other than the orientation described in the figures. For example, if a device in the drawings is turned upside down, a device described as "above other devices or structures" or "on top of other devices or structures" would later be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "under other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above..." may include two orientations: "above..." and "below...". The device may be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and appropriately accounted for the spatially relative descriptions used herein.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the container base includes a base 10. An engagement groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of the base 10, and a protruding rib 12 is provided in the engagement groove 11, extending inward along the radial direction of the base 10. The protruding rib 12 can be deformed by an external force, and when the external force disappears, the protruding rib 12 can return to its original shape. When the inner liner assembly 30 is assembled into the base 10, the engagement point of the inner liner assembly 30 slides along the engagement groove 11. Here, the engagement point may be a cylindrical engagement point, a rectangular parallelepiped engagement point, or an engagement point of other shapes. When the engagement point needs to get over the protruding rib 12, the protruding rib 12 can be deformed and retreat from the engagement point, facilitating the engagement point to smoothly get over the protruding rib. When the engagement point gets over the protruding rib, the protruding rib can quickly return to its original shape and block the engagement point. Therefore, the design of the protruding rib in the present application can generate a jump during the process of assembling the inner liner assembly into the container base, which can help the user check the installation process. The design of the protruding rib with the retraction function facilitates the engagement point of the inner liner assembly to smoothly engage, and also reduces the wear of the protruding rib, thereby extending the service life of the container base.

[0021] Example 1: As shown in FIG. 1, the protruding rib 12 is provided on the side arm 14, the first end of the side arm 14 is connected to the inner wall of the base 10, and the second end of the side arm 14 is a free end, and the side arm 14 can rotate along the first end of the side arm relative to the inner wall of the base. The side arm 14 is located in the locking groove 11, and the side arm 14 is hinged to the inner wall of the base. That is, only one side of the periphery of the side arm 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the base 10. The protruding rib 12 is fixed to the side arm 14 and protrudes from the side arm 14. The protruding rib 12 may be a solid convex hull structure or a stripe structure. Therefore, the side arm 14 and the inner wall of the base 10 are not completely fixed to each other, and the protruding rib 12 has a certain retraction space. Therefore, when the engagement point of the inner liner assembly overcomes the protruding rib 12, the protruding rib 12 presses toward the inside of the inner wall of the base 10, making it easier for the engagement point of the inner liner assembly to overcome the protruding rib 12 and also allowing it to be quickly reset.

[0022] Alternatively, the protruding rib 12 is provided on the inner wall of the base 10, and there is a gap between the protruding rib 12 and the base 10. That is, the protruding rib 12 is provided on the side wall position where the locking groove 11 of the base 10 is opened. The protruding rib 12 extends toward the position of the inner cavity along the radial direction of the base. The protruding rib 12 and the base 10 can be integrally injection molded products. The gap between the protruding rib 12 and the base 10 allows the protruding rib 12 to have a retraction space. The following Examples 2 and 3 are two specific embodiments in which there is a gap between the protruding rib and the base.

[0023] Example 2: The protruding rib 12 includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. A first end of the first connecting portion is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 10, a second end of the first connecting portion is fixedly connected to the first end of the second connecting portion, and a second end of the second connecting portion is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 10. There is a gap between the second end of the first connecting portion and the inner wall of the base 10 and between the first end of the second connecting portion and the inner wall of the base 10. The protruding rib 12 can be an integrally molded product. Both ends of the protruding rib 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 10, and the middle part of the protruding rib 12 is not connected to the inner wall of the base 10 and is formed in an arch shape on the inner wall of the base. That is, the protruding rib 12 has low both ends and high middle part. In this way, the protruding rib can easily deform the middle part to allow the engagement point of the inner liner assembly to overcome the protruding rib, and can quickly return to its original state. Alternatively, the first and second connection parts have the same structure, and both have a rectangular, trapezoidal, or other irregular structure. Alternatively, the protruding rib 12 has a structure that is narrow in the middle and wide at both ends, and the whole protruding rib has a bow shape.

[0024] Example 3: As shown in FIG. 2, the protruding rib 12 is a convex hull, the inside of the convex hull has a hollow structure, and the periphery of the convex hull is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 10. The convex hull may be a regular hemisphere or a part of an irregular sphere, as long as there is a gap between the middle part of the convex hull and the inside of the base. This allows the convex hull to deform and retreat when the locking point of the inner liner assembly needs to overcome the convex hull, and after the locking point overcomes the convex hull, the convex hull can quickly recover and block the locking point. This facilitates the assembly and removal of the inner liner assembly, and effectively prevents the inner liner assembly from sliding relative to the base.

[0025] Example 4: The protruding rib 12 is a protruding rib made of an elastic material. The protruding rib 12 itself is made of an elastic material, and the protruding rib and the base are made by two-color injection molding, and the material of the base is harder than the protruding rib. In this way, the protruding rib can be designed to have a conventional solid structure. As shown in FIG. 3, the protruding rib is a conventional strip-shaped structure, or the protruding rib is a conventional solid convex hull structure. Since the protruding rib 12 itself has elasticity, when the locking point of the inner liner assembly passes over the protruding rib, the protruding rib 12 can be deformed to facilitate the passage of the locking point.

[0026] 4, the base 10 is further provided with an inner ring 20, which is fixedly fitted to the outside of the base 10, and a fretwork locking groove 11 is opened on the side wall of the base 10, and a protruding rib 12 is provided on the inner ring 20, which is disposed in the locking groove 11. Since the base 10 and the inner ring 20 are separate structures, when the locking point of the inner liner assembly 30 presses the protruding rib 12, the inner ring is popped slightly outward, so that the protruding rib 12 retreats from the locking point. When the base and the inner ring are separate structures and the protruding rib 12 retreats from the locking point, the base and the inner ring can be relatively separated, which facilitates the locking point to be engaged.

[0027] Example 6: The base 10 is further provided with an inner ring 20, which is fixedly mounted in the base 10, and a fretwork locking groove 11 is opened on the side wall of the inner ring 20, and a protruding rib 12 is provided on the base 10, and the protruding rib 12 is disposed in the locking groove 11. In this embodiment, since the inner ring 20 is located inside the base 10, the protruding rib 12 is mounted on the base 10, and when the engagement point of the inner liner assembly 30 presses the protruding rib 12, the base springs slightly outward, and the protruding rib 12 retreats from the engagement point.

[0028] In view of the above, in this application, there are several aspects to give the protruding rib a deformation function, as follows. First, as in the embodiment of Example 4, the protruding rib is manufactured from an elastic material. Second, as in the embodiments of Examples 2 and 3, for example, a hollow structure is designed between the protruding rib and the base, and the protruding rib is made into a sheet, so that the retraction function can be realized even if the protruding rib is made of a general plastic material. Third, as in the embodiment of Example 1, a protruding rib is provided on the side arm, and the side arm and the base are hingedly connected. Fourth, as in the embodiments of Examples 5 and 6, a protruding rib and a locking groove are provided on two independent members, respectively, so that the protruding rib can be displaced relative to the locking groove to realize the retraction function.

[0029] The locking groove 11 is provided with a bump 13 extending in the axial direction of the base 10. The locking groove 11 includes a first groove body opened along the vertical direction of the base 10 and a second groove body opened along the horizontal direction of the base 10, and the protruding rib 12 and the bump 13 are located in the second groove body. Example 7: As shown in FIG. 5, the base 10 extends downward along the upper axial direction of the second groove body to form the bump 13, or the base 10 extends upward along the lower axial direction of the second groove body to form the bump 13. This design of the bump 13 can further fix the engagement point, so that the inner liner assembly and the container base are firmly coupled without any wobbling.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 6, the container box includes a container base, an inner liner assembly 30, and an outer lid 40, and the outer wall of the inner liner assembly 30 is provided with an engagement point, and the outer lid 40 covers the container base. The inner liner assembly 30 is removably mounted in the container base. When assembled, the engagement point of the inner liner assembly 30 slides along the locking groove 11 of the container box, and when the engagement point overcomes the protruding rib 12, the inner liner assembly 30 is mounted in a predetermined position, and the outer lid 40 is hinged to the container box. When the outer lid 40 covers the container box, the two are engaged with a buckle, and the inner liner assembly can be sealed and stored. The protruding rib of the container base in the present application is elastic, or its unique structure allows the protruding rib to have a deformation function, or the protruding rib and the locking groove are provided on different members, so that when the engagement point of the inner liner assembly needs to overcome the protruding rib, the protruding rib can retreat from the engagement point, making the assembly and disassembly of the inner liner assembly smoother, and reducing the wear of the engagement point and the protruding rib caused by hard friction, thereby extending the service life of the container base and meeting the demand for repeated use of the container base. Since the inner liner assembly of the container box is removably attached to the container base, when the material in the inner liner assembly is used up, the old inner liner assembly can be removed and a new inner liner assembly can be installed for repeated use, thereby reducing waste of resources. Here, the container base may be an air cushion base, and the container box may be an air cushion box.

[0031] It should be pointed out to those skilled in the art that any modifications or improvements made without departing from the concept of the present application will fall within the scope of protection of the present application, and therefore the scope of protection of the present application should be in accordance with the scope of the attached utility model claims.
