The present disclosure is related to the technical field related to airtight containers, in particular to a control unit provided on the cover of the container, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the cover and the container.
Conventional moisture-proof containers can store food and effectively isolate the air from outside of the container, so as to prevent food from getting moisture. As disclosed in TW M384166, which is a moisture-proof container composed of a container and a cover. The container is provided with storage space with an opening, and the cover can close the opening of the container. In detail, the wall surface of the storage space of the container and the cover is coated with a layer of natural lacquer, so that the container and the cover can be adjacent to the storage space with a layer of film. The active Laccase enzyme contained in the natural lacquer is used to absorb the moisture in the storage space and continuously dry the storage space, so that the food can be prevented from getting moisture.
However, the active Laccase enzyme film coating of the conventional moisture-proof container is coated on the inner side of the container and cover, which results in a bad effect on the quality of the food when the food touches the film. Therefore, improving the lack of conventional moisture-proof containers is the primary research focus of the present disclosure.

The cover 2 is tight sleeved on the joint portion 11 of the container 1. The cover 2 has an outlet groove 20 and a control groove 21. In detail, the outlet groove 20 is located at the top of the cover 2. The outlet groove 20 has an outlet hole 200, and a first joint surface 201 extending outward from the outlet hole 200. The outlet hole 200 passes through the cover 2 and communicates with the storage space 10 of the container 1. A stop ring 202 is convexly encircled the first joint surface 201. The control groove 21 is located at the side of the cover 2. The control groove 21 has a through hole 210, and the through hole 210 passes through the cover 2 and is communicated with the storage space 10 of the container 1.
The elastic outlet unit 3 has a second joint surface extending outward from the first connecting portion, the first connecting portion 30 has a ring rib part 300 on the surface and a hook rib part 301 at the end. The second joint surface 31 of the first connecting portion 30 and the first joint surface 201 of the outlet groove 20 complement each other. The second joint surface 31 has a convex ring part 310 near the first connecting portion 30. When the elastic outlet unit 3 is fitted in the outlet groove 20, the stop ring 202 of the outlet groove 20 limits the elastic outlet unit 3 at the position. When the first connecting portion 30 of the elastic outlet unit 3 is connected with the outlet hole 200, the convex ring part 310 of the second joint surface 31 is pressed against the outlet hole 200, and the ring rib part 300 and the hook rib part 301 of the first connecting portion 30 allow the elastic outlet unit 3 more fittingly attached to the outlet groove 20.
The control unit 4 has a control member 40, a fastener member 41 and an elastic member 42. The control member 40 is integral molding with an axis part 400, the axis part 400 has a fitting part 401 and a recess 402, and the fitting part 401 accommodates the fastener member.
