The invention relates to a seal box with a good sealing effect and easy to open, in particular to a seal box with a good sealing effect and easy to open, a sealing cover of which can be opened quickly and easily.
Sealed containers, such as preservation boxes, fulfill a sealing effect traditionally in the following manner: the cover and the box are in press fit or are connected in a threaded manner, wherein the cover and the box are in press fit means that the box opening and the box cover are in close fit and are mutually clamped, which makes it difficult to open the box; and threaded connection is only suitable for circular box openings and circular box covers and is not beneficial to fabrication and use. So, in recent years, a flange-buckle structure is commonly adopted. That is, a clip is disposed on the outer wall of the box opening, a flange to be pulled is disposed on the edge of the box body and is provided with a buckle or a hole, and the buckle or the hole is matched with the clip to tightly connect the box and the cover. This technique has the following advantages: using is convenient; the flange-buckle structure is suitable for boxes of different shapes (square and round boxes), and particularly, the hole is formed in the flange on the edge of the box cover, and the clip is clamped in the hole to realize firm connection. But, this technique has the defect that the box cover cannot be opened with a single hand due to the unreasonable structural design of the flange.
For example, Chinese patent document Application No. CN101164833A and entitled “Buckling structure and seal box with same” discloses a seal box structure, wherein the buckling structure is provided with a buckling flange extending outwards relative to the periphery of a cover and a hinge portion for connecting the buckling flange to the periphery of the cover, at least one buckle portion is disposed below the buckling flange to buckle and fasten the cover; and the hinge portion is formed with a plurality of thin slots which reduce the hinge area for connecting the bucking flange and the cover. The seal box comprises the buckling structure and a container body, wherein a fastening structure is disposed close to the top edge and is matched with the buckle portion to fasten and fix the cover to the container body.
The above-mentioned box cannot be easily opened by users. When opening the cover, the users have to fix the container body with one hand and pull the buckling flange with the other hand, and it takes a long time for the users to pull the buckling flange strenuously to open the cover. The seal box of such a structure is difficult to open, thus causing great inconvenience to the users; and particularly, when the users are very busy or hold other articles with one hand, it is impossible for the users to open the cover with both hands. Thus, all existing seal boxes with a sealing structure having a good sealing effect have the problem of being difficult to open.
