In one usage state, the three-way valve 406 is switched to the first extraction channel 41 and the vacuum pump 401 performs air extraction, the air in the standard-sized mason jar 601 is drawn out from the first gap between the first lid 6012 and the first bottle 6011 through the first air-extraction chamber 701. At this time, the negative pressure in the standard-sized mason jar 601 increases, and the first lid 6012 is affected by the pressure and fits on the first bottle 6011. The first groove 7021 provided between the first sealing part 1092 of the first sealing portion 109 and the intermediate component 107 and coupled with the outside atmosphere, so that the first sealing part 1092 will be more closely adhered to the first bottle 6011 to achieve a better sealing effect. During this process, the air-pressure sensor 405 has been sensing the air pressure in the first pumping chamber 701 through the air-pressure sensing hole 1054, and when the air pressure reaches a preset threshold, the vacuum pump 401 is controlled to stop operation through the control circuit board 402. The decompression valve 404 inflates the first pumping chamber 701 through the decompression hole 1053 to equalize the air pressure to facilitate the separation of the vacuum-completed mason jar 601 from the mason jar sealing device 1.

In another usage state, the three-way valve 406 is switched to the second extraction channel 42 and the vacuum pump 401 performs air extraction, the air in the larger-sized mason jar 602 is drawn out from the second gap between the second lid 6012 and the second bottle 601 through the second air-extraction chamber 702. At this time, the negative pressure in the larger-sized mason jar 602 increases, and the second lid 6022 is affected by the pressure and fits on the second bottle 6021. The second groove 7022 provided between the second sealing part 1102 of the second sealing portion 110 and the first container wall 102 and coupled with the outside atmosphere, so that the second sealing part 1102 will be more closely adhered to the second bottle 6021 to achieve a better sealing effect. During this process, the air-pressure sensor 405 has been sensing the air pressure in the first and second pumping chambers 701, 702 through the air-pressure sensing hole 1054, and when the air pressure reaches a preset threshold, the vacuum pump 401 is controlled to stop operation through the control circuit board 402. The decompression valve 404 inflates the first and second pumping chambers 701, 702 through the decompression hole 1053 to equalize the air pressure to facilitate the separation of the vacuum-completed mason jar 602 from the mason jar sealing device 1.
