Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of storage container technology, and more particularly to storage containers with variable capacity. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, as living standards have improved, people's demand for daily necessities has been increasing. For example, storage containers are used to store everyday items such as rice and small items. However, most storage containers currently on the market have a fixed capacity, so if the number of items exceeds the capacity, multiple containers must be prepared. If there are only a few items, the container's capacity will be too large, which will require too much storage space, making storage inconvenient. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a storage container with a variable capacity, which has the advantage that the overall capacity of the storage container is variable. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The technical object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: a container includes a container lid, a volumetric cylinder, and a container body, arranged in this order from top to bottom, the volumetric cylinder can slide on the container body, and a dividing protrusion on the side wall of the volumetric cylinder can divide the volumetric cylinder into two parts, upper and lower, with different volumes and can abut against the upper end surface of the container body.
[0005] Preferably, a position limiting member for limiting the position of the volumetric cylinder is provided between the container body and the dividing protrusion.
[0006] Preferably, the position limiting member includes a locking groove formed in the outer wall of the container body and a locking block provided on the inner wall of the volumetric cylinder, and the locking block can be fitted into the locking groove.
[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the container body is recessed inward to form a mounting groove, and a sealing ring can be mounted in the mounting groove.
[0008] Preferably, the container body has an anti-slip protrusion at the bottom end. [Effects of the Invention]
[0009] In summary, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. By limiting the volume of the two different parts of the capacity tube with the dividing protrusion, the user can turn the capacity tube upside down to increase or decrease the capacity of the entire storage container, making it easier for the user to store items. 2. The engagement of the position limiting member prevents the container body and the volume cylinder from being easily separated, effectively improving the overall stability. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the volumetric cylinder of the embodiment. [Figure 3] 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a container body according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] In addition, in the description of the present invention, the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are intended merely to facilitate the description and simplification of the present invention. They do not necessarily indicate or imply that the devices or components shown have a specific orientation or are configured or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0012] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0013] (Example) This storage container has a variable capacity, and as shown in Figures 1 to 3, it comprises a container lid 1, a capacity cylinder 2, and a container body 3, arranged in this order from top to bottom. The capacity cylinder 2 can slide along the container body 3, and the side wall of the capacity cylinder 2 has a dividing protrusion 4 that can separate the capacity cylinder 2 into two upper and lower parts with different volumes and can abut against the upper end surface of the container body 3. By limiting the volume of the two different parts of the capacity cylinder 2 with the dividing protrusion 4, the user can turn the capacity cylinder 2 upside down to increase or decrease the capacity of the entire storage container, making it easier for the user to store items.
[0014] Between the container body 3 and the dividing protrusion 4, a position limiting member 5 for limiting the position of the volumetric cylinder 2 is provided.
[0015] The position limiting member 5 includes a locking groove 6 opened in the outer wall of the container body 3 and a locking block 7 provided on the inner wall of the capacity cylinder 2, the locking block 7 can be engaged into the locking groove 6, the outer wall of the container body 3 is recessed inward to form an attachment groove 8, a sealing ring can be attached to the attachment groove 8 to seal the internal space of the container body 3, and an anti-slip protrusion 9 is provided at the lower end of the container body 3.
[0016] The above-described contents are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention, which is determined by the appended claims. [Explanation of symbols]
