Description

The food receptacle of air-tight / open type balve structure}

The present invention relates to a food container having a wheat / open / close valve structure for keeping side dishes, various food ingredients, and foods in a state close to a vacuum for a long time, and in detail, the lid portion of the food container is eccentric. With a mill / open / close valve at the position, when the user presses the lid part, the suction pad of the mill / open / close valve is lifted by the air bleeding action inside the food container, and when the pressing force is removed, the mill / open / close valve naturally In order to keep the freshness of the food and keep freshness even if the side dishes, food ingredients and foods are stored for a long time while blocking the air by lowering the adsorption pad to keep the vacuum state in the food container close. Of course, even if the food storage period can be stacked up and down and the handle is formed with the side surface and the smooth surface of the storage container The present invention relates to a food container having a mill / resealable valve structure to increase its storage efficiency within the refrigerator during storage.

When the side dishes such as kimchi or cutlet, various food ingredients and processed foods are stored in the air, they are quickly corroded and rotted due to oxidation with air. In order to solve the problem, it is well known that a food container having a structure for storing food and the like in a state in which air in the food container is taken out and maintained in a vacuum state is developed.

As a container for storing food by maintaining the vacuum state as shown in Figure 9a, the Korean Intellectual Property Office, as shown in Figure 9a "Install the air suction outlet (3) in the upper center of the lid (2) and guide hole (5), air intake (6) Hemispherical packing (9) which is in close contact with the head (8) at the top of the air suction tube (7) formed in sequence and the air inlet (6) at the bottom is integrally formed and the carbon spring (10) The slide shaft 4 is installed to draw air from the container with the air inhaler 12, and the air suction type vacuum sealed food container having a silicone material sealing frame 11 attached to the lower end of the lid portion 2 is pre-sourced. There is a registered Utility Model Registration No. 201019, but a separate air absorber can be used to suck out the air in the food container, there is a problem in that the use of when the loss of the air absorber, etc. is subject to restrictions.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9B, "the first groove formed in the bottom of the cap has a first vent hole formed in communication with the air, and a first protrusion formed in the lid, and a separate protrusion is formed on the upper surface of the first vent hole. A vacuum container including a suction pad positioned on the first recess to open and close the vacuum release button and a vacuum release button having a pull hole for hanging the separation protrusion in itself to pull the separation protrusion. Utility Model Registration Application No. 1998-9712 has been disclosed and published in the Republic of Korea Patent Office.

However, in the case of the utility model, the number of vacuum container means parts mounted on the lid portion is considerable, and when the vacuum release button 60 is inserted and fixed in the first recess 30, the vacuum release button 60 is inserted into the hinge groove 34. Since the hinge pin 68 must be inserted and fixed by a forced external force, it is pointed out that a problem in which a defective rate of the product is considerably generated due to the fact that the hinge pin 68 is broken in this process is inconvenient.

In addition, the utility model is a real user using the product for a certain period of time, the kimchi soup or other foreign substances generated by the kimchi stored in the container flows into the first groove 30 side of the lid 20, the first groove ( Since the case is caught in the space between the vacuum release button 30 and the vacuum release button 60, the actual user should periodically remove the vacuum release button 60 from the first groove 30, the user in the process of vacuum Since the hinge pin 68 can be detached from the hinge groove 34 by forcibly pulling the release button 60, there is a problem that it is not easily detached, and the separation and cleaning is not easy. .

In addition, even if the vacuum release button (60) is separated by a forcible force, the hinge pin (68) is broken in this process, so it is pointed out a problem in use such that the product can not be used at all and disposed of. Meanwhile, even if easily separated, the same problem may occur in the bonding process after washing.

On the other hand, since the handle 21 formed on the side of the product has a structure that protrudes to the outside, it occupies excessively occupy the storage space accommodated in the refrigerator having a limited volume, and also is not easy to vertically stack between containers horizontally Since it should be stored, there is a disadvantage in reducing the refrigerator storage efficiency.

On the other hand, when releasing the vacuum state in the vacuum container by operating the vacuum release button 60, it is generally difficult to lift from the center due to the nature of the suction pad, so that the other side of the vacuum release button is connected to the suction pad, the vacuum release button In operation, by having a structure in which one side of the suction pad is lifted by the lifting operation of the other side, there is a problem that the operation force of the vacuum release button is required significantly. That is, when the vacuum state is considerable, the suction pad of the other side is lifted only by increasing the force to press the vacuum release button, so it is inconvenient to use because it is possible to release the vacuum state by applying more load than simple operation force. have.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve the above problems,

The upper and lower lamination structure of the food use period is possible, and the handles respectively formed on the side surface side of the food container allow the food container side portion and the smooth surface to be formed so as to increase the storage utilization when storing in a limited storage space such as a refrigerator. The purpose is to enable efficient use of space, and to store various foods or food ingredients in the food container and to maintain the vacuum state by removing the air to the outside by a simple operation.

In addition, the present invention makes it possible to easily separate and tighten the mill / open / close valve from the lid, to facilitate the cleaning of foreign substances, such as dried kimchi soup, spilled from the food stored in the container after a certain period of time, and the cleaning is completed. Another purpose is to make it possible to use the food container in a clean state at all times by facilitating post-coupling operation.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration will be described in detail.

Food container (1) of the present invention is a lid 100 and the container body 150, as shown in the accompanying drawings 1 to 8, and the mil / opening and closing valve 200 is eccentrically housed on one side of the lid (100) ) And a packing 300 for improving the sealing and sealing properties.

Here, the lid 100 and the container body 200 are preferably formed of a transparent synthetic resin so that food and the like stored therein can be visually identified.

Concave grooves 120 are formed on both side portions or all side portions of the lid 100, but the hinge grooves 121 are formed on both sides of the grooves 120. Thus, the reason for forming the grooves 120 is described below. Part of the 110, that is, the fastening handle 110, from the hinge 111 side, so that the entire outer surface of the fastening handle 110 is inserted into the groove 120, after the fastening handle 110 and the container body 150 after fastening The outer surface of the fastening handle 110 and the outer circumferential surface of the lid 100 to be smooth to reduce the volume of the food container 1 of the present invention in the storage space, such as a refrigerator as much as possible (see Fig. 2).

Meanwhile, the upper surface of the lid 100 is formed to be convex in a dome shape as shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, and the periphery of the upper surface of the lid 100 forms a concave portion 130 along the periphery thereof. The center portion is formed to match the height surface of the lid 100 so that the upper surface of the lid 100 is configured to be smooth when viewed from the side.

The convex center portion is limited to the maximum upper surface of the lid 100 so that the user presses the center portion of the lid 100 to operate the mill / open / close valve 200 which will be described later. If it is spilled to the outside, the convex protruding portion to the center is formed to the lower side so that other food containers (1 ', 1 ") can be easily stacked and loaded on it in a stable state.

In addition, by forming a receiving groove 140 in the position eccentric to any one side in the central portion of the lid 100 as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, the opening / closing valve 200 to receive and fix the receiving groove ( As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the protrusion 141 in which the hole 142 is perforated is integrally formed at the bottom of the receiving groove 140, and the sealing surface 143 facing upward is integrally formed. And, the inner tongue groove 144 for receiving the weight 231 of the suction pad 230 is formed therein.

At this time, it is important that the diameter of the sealing surface 143 is smaller than the diameter of the adsorption pad 230. That is, the suction pad 230 is in close contact with the sealing surface 143 to maintain the vacuum in the food container 1 by the operation of the lever 210 which will be described later the suction pad 230 to release the vacuum. When it is separated from the sealing surface 143, the outer periphery of the adsorption pad 230 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter side of the sealing surface 143, so that the outer periphery and the sealing surface 143 of the adsorption pad 230 when the lever 210 is operated.
