The air pump may be disposed in the compressor compartment, and an inlet end of the air pump is connected to the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber 420 of the oxygen-enriched membrane module 400 via a pipeline, and is configured to pump air outwards via the oxygen-enriched membrane module 400, so as to controllably make the pressure of the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber 420 smaller than the pressure of the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping space. That is, the air pump is configured to pump the air in the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping space outwards through the oxygen-enriched membrane assembly 400, so that the air in the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping space flows to the air-enriched membrane assembly 400, and under the action of the oxygen-enriched membrane assembly 400, part or all of the oxygen in the air in the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping space enters the oxygen-enriched air collecting cavity 420 and then is discharged out of the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping space through the pipeline and the air pump, so that the nitrogen-rich and oxygen-poor gas atmosphere in the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping space is obtained to facilitate the food fresh-keeping. With the sealing ring 300 of the above embodiment, the pressure inside and outside the container 10 can be kept balanced as much as possible, so that the air pump can more easily pump oxygen from the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber 420, and the energy consumption of the air pump is reduced.
Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
