As shown in
Specifically, the bag body 1 is provided with a bag mouth 3; the vacuum valve 2 is detachably mounted on the bag mouth 3; a gas passage 4 is provided on at least one side wall of the bag body 1. The vacuum valve 2 is used in connection with a vacuum pump to achieve vacuum extraction.
In one embodiment, as shown in
In this embodiment, with continued reference to
The actual sizes of the bag mouth 3 and the vacuum valve 2 may be set according to actual requirements.
In one embodiment, with continued reference to
In another embodiment, with continued reference to
Preferably, the first embossing 1001 and the second embossing 1010 each include a dot type embossing or a strip type embossing. The strip type embossing is arranged in parallel or in a staggered manner, for example, they may be inclined stripes arranged in a staggered manner, as shown in
In the present embodiment, the bag body 1 is made of 1.2-wire PET, 1.5-wire PA and 17-wire PE by a three-layer composite process, so that the bag body 1 has stronger toughness and firmness.
In the present embodiment, as shown in combination with FIGS.1 and 6-7, the bag body 1 includes a bottom of the bag, two sides and a top of the bag; the two sides are respectively located at two sides of the bottom of the bag and the top of the bag, and the bottom of the bag and the top of the bag are respectively located at two ends of the two sides; the bag mouth 3 is located at one of the two sides, or at the top of the bag, or at the connection of the top of the bag and the side.

As a preferred embodiment, when the handle 5 is perpendicular to the expanded portion 6, i.e., when the handle 5 is arranged on one of the two sides, there is no need to hold the bottom of the bag when it is desired to pour the food in the bag body 1. If the handle 5 is arranged at the top of the bag body 1, i.e., the handle 5 is parallel to the expanded portion 6, the bottom of the bag body 1 needs to be lifted by gravity in order to be able to pour out the food (since the width of the expanded portion 6 is greater than the width of the top of the bag body 1, the expanded portion 6 is located at where there is the most food, making the bottom of the bag heavier). In the present device, the handle 5 is perpendicularly installed at the expanded portion 6, so that when the food is poured, there is no need to hold the bottom of the bag body 1, thereby facilitating the pouring of the food.
In a specific example, the middle portion of the expanded portion 6 is provided with a crease, and the space occupied by the bag body 1 is reduced by folding the expanded portion 6 along the crease between the first bag layer 100 and the second bag layer 101.
