The specific embodiment

Referring now to accompanying drawing, wherein in all different figure, adopt identical Reference numeral to refer to identical or similar parts.

Fig. 1 is the block diagram of expression according to the storage container of first embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 is the exploded perspective view of the storage container of Fig. 1.

As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, the storage container that is used for grain according to first embodiment of the invention is included in the container body 10 of wherein storing grain P.This storage container also comprises: pellet guide unit 20, and it is arranged in the container body 10, so that the grain P in the main body 10 controllably falls; And tray unit 30, it is arranged in the bottom of container body 10, grain P controllably is distributed to the outside of main body 10.In the present invention, each grain P is configured as the square body with circular corner and surface.Yet the shape of grain P is not limited to above-mentioned square configuration.

The container body 10 that contents (being grain P, as chewing gum grain, chocolate dragee or pill) are contained in is wherein made by plastics (that is synthetic resin material).Container body 10 can be designed to the form of cylinder form or square configuration in a conventional manner.Replacedly, container body 10 can be designed to attract various role's forms of child attention.Seal cover cap 12 engages the open top that is installed in container body 10 by screw type engagement or powerful assembly type.And, on the bottom of container body 10 sidewalls, form tray openings 14, thereby tray unit 30 ejects from container body 10 and is withdrawn in the container body 10 by tray openings 14.Lower house 11 is installed on the open lower end of container body 10 and is in the position of tray unit 30 belows, thus the open lower end of closing containers main body 10.

Pellet guide unit 20 is installed in the container body 10 and is positioned at the position of tray unit 30 tops, grain P in this pellet guide unit guiding container body 10, thus make grain P be distributed to the outside of container body 10 in check pellet distribution mode.Pellet guide unit 20 part therebetween has grain downcast hole 22.This grain downcast hole 22 has rectangular shape with corresponding with the shape of tray unit 30 upper surfaces.The width of grain downcast hole 22 is a bit larger tham the length of the every side of grain P, thereby the grain P under the horizontal positioned state can pass through this grain downcast hole 22 successively.

Pellet guide unit 20 comprises: left guiding piece 23 and the right guiding piece 24 that is provided with along the relative longer edges of rectangle grain downcast hole 22 respectively, and respectively along the relative preceding guiding piece 25 and the back guiding piece 26 that is provided with than the minor face edge of grain downcast hole 22.Above-mentioned guiding piece 23,24,25 and 26 is provided at inclined downward on the direction at grain downcast hole 22 edges respectively, thereby each grain P can both slip over these guiding pieces downwards towards grain downcast hole 22, drops in the tray unit 30 by grain downcast hole 22 thus.

Fig. 3 is the section drawing of expression according to the pellet guide unit 20 of the storage container of first embodiment of the invention.As shown in the figure, grain downcast hole 22 is configured such that the height at edge in the hole 22 around left guiding piece 23 and right guiding piece 24 is different.The design of the above-mentioned differing heights of the opposite edges of grain downcast hole 22 is for following consideration.When the opposite edges of grain downcast hole 22 were designed to have equal height, two or more grain P can move on left guiding piece 23 and right guiding piece 24 and arrive grain downcast hole 22 simultaneously.Under above state, grain P may interfere mutually and support mutually, thereby is stuck in the entrance in hole 22, and impassabitity hole 22 (seeing the dotted line among Fig. 3).For fear of this interference between the grain P of grain downcast hole 22 entrance, the edge configuration in left guiding piece 23 and right guiding piece 24 hole 22 on every side becomes to have different height.Therefore, even when two or more grain P arrive hole 22 simultaneously after moving on left guiding piece 23 and right guiding piece 24, grain P also can be in the hole 22 entrance stacked mutually, thereby one by one smoothly by hole 22 (seeing the solid line among Fig. 3).

Preceding guiding piece 25 extends upward, and has the crooked backward (see figure 4) in part place of predetermined altitude H at it.Before the height H of sweep of guiding piece 25 almost equate with the height of each grain P when the grain P horizontal positioned.Thereby the sweep of preceding guiding piece 25 prevents that at each grain P grain P enters grain downcast hole 22 with the state of vertical placement when left guiding piece 23 and right guiding piece 24 arrives holes 22.

Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 be for cuing open the section drawing of getting along line A-A of Fig. 2, thereby show according to the concrete parts around the tray unit of the storage container of first embodiment of the invention.

As Fig. 2, Fig. 4 and shown in Figure 5, tray unit 30 is installed in the container body 10, thereby this tray unit 30 can eject from main body 10 by tray openings 14 and be withdrawn in the main body 10.Tray unit 30 has the structure of drawer-like, and it has open top so that grain P is contained in wherein.Therefore, the grain P that falls from the grain downcast hole 22 of pellet guide unit 20 can be accommodated in the tray unit 30.

Preferably, tray unit 30 is provided with the pellet distribution control unit, optionally closing grain downcast hole 22, and controls the pellet distribution of container simultaneously, thereby once only discharges a grain P.

The pellet distribution control unit comprises the swash plate 32 that is installed in the pellet storage space S, and this space S is limited in the top of tray unit 30.Swash plate 32 gently is inclined upwardly on the direction at rear portion in the front portion from tray unit 30.The height of swash plate 32 rear ends is the height of tray unit 30 no better than, thereby the pellet storage space S of tray unit 30 only can hold a grain P therein.Under above state,, in the process that tray unit 30 is ejected, blocked by the upper limb of tray openings 14 owing to the certain tilt structure of swash plate 32 with another the overlapping grain of grain that is contained in the storage space S.Therefore, the pellet distribution control unit has prevented to distribute simultaneously several stacked grains mutually.

Simultaneously, when ejection tray unit 30, form back space in tray unit 30 back, thereby grain P can fall into this back space, disturbs the ejection and the withdrawal of tray unit 30 thus.Therefore, pellet stop unit 34 is set in lower house 14, enters in the back space to prevent grain P.

This pellet stop unit 34 comprises the plastic sheet in the lower space that is inserted into tray unit 30, and in the following time of retracted mode in tray unit 30 is held in place container body 10, this pellet stop unit is limited to the below of swash plate 32.Simultaneously, when from container body ejection tray unit 30, this plastic sheet of pellet stop unit 34 is closed the back space that is formed on tray unit 30 back.Thereby pellet stop unit 34 prevents that grain P from entering in this back space.

Failure-free moves for tray unit 30 stablize in the process that ejects by tray openings 14 with withdrawal, preferably tray 40 all is set at lower house 11 and tray unit 30 in the two.

This tray 40 comprises: resilient bias 50, and it applies elastic force along ejection direction to tray unit 30; And lock cell 60, it optionally is locked in tray unit 30 retracted position in the lower house 11.

In the present invention, can freely design lock cell with traditional one touch type actuating structure, wherein when tray unit is pushed one time on retracted orientation, tray unit can be contracted to be locked in retracted mode, and when tray unit was promoted on identical direction once more, tray unit can be ejected.

In the present embodiment, lock cell comprises lock(ing) bolt 162, and it is installed in tray unit 170 rear end lower with by spring 161 biased downward.This lock(ing) bolt 162 also engages with guide recess 134, and this guide recess 134 is arranged on the inside face of lower house 130 diapires along the direction parallel with moving of tray unit 170, thereby lock(ing) bolt 162 moves along guide recess 134.This lock cell also comprises the holding element 164 that is arranged on lower house 130 diapires, and this holding element is in such position, that is, and and the lock(ing) bolt 162 that moves simultaneously with tray unit 170 residing position in tray unit 170 is fully retracted to container body C the time.

Specifically, holding element 164 comprises depression, thereby for lock(ing) bolt 162 provides path of navigation, and be provided with heart-shaped protrusion at the middle part of this depression.In addition, holding element 164 is provided with the triangle locking seat towards this heart-shaped protrusion.The bottom surface of the path of navigation of holding element 164 specifically tilts, thereby make a part of bottom surface around the inlet of path of navigation have the less gradient, thereby and gently be inclined upwardly and form acclivitous surface, and another part bottom surface around the outlet of path of navigation is gently downward-sloping to form downward-sloping surface.Like this, along tray unit 170 of retracted orientation promotion the time, lock(ing) bolt 162 moves backward from the inlet of path of navigation, to lock the space between the seat by heart-shaped protrusion and triangle, thereby be maintained in the locking seat, so that tray unit 170 is locked in retracted mode.Simultaneously, when once more when retracted orientation promotes tray unit 170, lock(ing) bolt 162 passes the outlet of path of navigation and breaks away from the path of navigation of holding element 164 under the effect of the elastic force of spring 184.Therefore, tray unit 170 is ejected.

Have according to the operation of the storage container of the said structure of second embodiment as follows.

At first, the grain P of requirement is contained in the container body C, then, container body C is installed on the air grid of automobile by anchor clamps 190.

In above state, some grain P that are contained in the container body C bottom move downward along the upper surface 154 of pellet guide unit 150, thereby one or more grain P falls by grain downcast hole 152.Then, the grain P that falls from pellet guide unit 150 along the upper surface 171 of tray unit 170 to lower slider, to be stored in the pellet storage space 176.In above state, when tray unit 170 is maintained at the retracted position of tray unit 170 by stopping at lock(ing) bolt 162 in the holding element 164, be one or more from pallet guidance unit 150 by the quantity that grain downcast hole 152 falls with the grain P in the storage space 176 that is stored in tray unit 170 simultaneously.

When the user promoted to be in the tray unit 170 of above state, lock(ing) bolt 162 broke away from holding element 164, thereby resilient bias 184 flexibly ejects tray unit 170 from container body C.Like this, the user can take out one or more grain P from the pellet storage space 176 of the tray unit 170 that ejects.In above state, the user can open grain exit door 174, to take out grain P more easily from tray unit 170.

After the tray unit 170 that ejects takes out one or more grain P, the user promotes tray unit 170 once more, while elasticity of compression bias piece 184, thus tray unit 170 is withdrawn among the container body C.When tray unit 170 was fully retracted among the container body C, lock(ing) bolt 162 stopped in the holding element 164, thereby made tray unit 170 be locked in retracted mode and can not ejected by accident.

The invention provides a kind of storage container that is used for grain, this container structure becomes to allow the user to take out described grain with a hand from described container, such as chewing gum grain or pill.
