(1) The cover body 2 is connected to the container body 1, and then the push button 4 is rotated clockwise until the engaging protrusion 41 leaves the limiting groove 52 and enters the engaging groove 51 and abuts against the side wall of the first limiting portion 24 or the second limiting portion 25.

(2) When the key 4 is released, the piston elastic member 33 rebounds to drive the piston assembly 3 and the key 4 to move upwards synchronously. Referring to fig. 5, as the volume of the second chamber b increases during the ascent, the air pressure in the second chamber b decreases. When the gas pressure in the first chamber a is sufficiently higher than the gas pressure in the second chamber b, the gas in the first chamber a lifts the pumping gasket 7, the pumping hole 221 is opened, and the gas in the first chamber a enters the second chamber b through the pumping hole 221, so that a part of the gas in the first chamber a is pumped out into the second chamber b. At the same time, the air pressure difference between the external environment and the second chamber b causes the exhaust seal 8 to cover the exhaust hole 31, and thus the exhaust hole 31 remains closed.

(3) When the push button 4 reaches the highest position, the push button 4 is pressed downward, the push button 4 drives the piston assembly 3 to move downward synchronously through the piston driving member 38, and the piston elastic member 33 is compressed until the lower side surface of the piston head 32 abuts against the supporting portion 23 of the cover 2. Referring to fig. 4, as the volume of the second chamber b decreases during the downward movement, the air pressure in the second chamber b increases. When the air pressure in the second chamber b is sufficiently higher than the air pressure in the external environment, the air in the second chamber b jacks up the exhaust gasket 8, the exhaust hole 31 is opened, and the air in the second chamber b sequentially flows through the exhaust hole 31, the gap between the piston main body part 37 and the piston driving part 38, the exhaust groove 35 on the piston head part 32, the gap between the piston head part 32 and the button 4, and the gap between the button 4 and the decorative body 5 and is exhausted to the outside, so that the air in the second chamber b is exhausted to the outside. At the same time, the air pressure difference between the second chamber b and the first chamber a causes the pumping gasket 7 to cover the pumping hole 221, and thus the pumping hole 221 remains closed.

(4) The operation of loosening and pressing the key 4 is repeated for a plurality of times, so that the gas in the first chamber a is completely pumped out until the first chamber a is vacuum, or the gas in the first chamber a is partially pumped out until the first chamber a is at a required air pressure value, thereby meeting different requirements of different articles contained in the container body 1 on the air pressure and expanding the application range of the vacuum-pumping device.

Fig. 13 shows an operation view when the vacuum pumping means maintains pressure in the first chamber a. The operation process of pressure maintaining is as follows:

(1) When the first chamber a is in a vacuum state or at a desired air pressure value, the push button 4 is pressed downward, the push button 4 drives the piston assembly 3 to move downward synchronously through the piston driving member 38, and the piston elastic member 33 is compressed until the lower side surface of the piston head 32 abuts against the supporting portion 23 of the cover body 2. During the downward movement, the pumping hole 221 is kept closed, the exhaust hole 31 is opened, and the gas in the second chamber b is exhausted to the outside.

(2) The push button 4 is rotated counterclockwise while keeping the push button 4 pressed downward, so that the fitting projection 41 is moved out of the fitting groove 51 into the stopper groove 52. When the engaging projection 41 abuts against the side wall of the stopper groove 52, the rotation is stopped and the push button 4 is released, and the engaging projection 41 is slightly moved upward until it abuts against the top wall of the stopper groove 52 by the restoring force of the piston elastic member 33. At this time, the button 4 is snapped on the decoration 5, so that the piston assembly 3 is maintained at a fixed position, and the suction hole 221 and the exhaust hole 31 are both kept closed, thereby maintaining the first chamber a in a vacuum state or at a desired air pressure value.

Figure 14 shows an operational view of the evacuation device inflating the first chamber a. The operation process of inflation is as follows:

(1) The key 4 is rotated clockwise until the engaging protrusion 41 leaves the limiting groove 52 and enters the engaging groove 51 and abuts against the side wall of the first limiting part 24 or the second limiting part 25.

(2) When the key 4 is released, the piston elastic member 33 rebounds to drive the piston assembly 3 and the key 4 to move upwards synchronously.

(3) After the key 4 reaches the highest position, the key 4 continues to be rotated clockwise until the engaging protrusion 41 of the key 4 abuts against the side wall of the engaging groove 51 (i.e., the side wall of the engaging groove 51 on the side away from the adjacent limiting groove 52), and at this time, the engaging protrusion 41 is located above the inflation guide rod 6.

(4) The key 4 is pressed downwards until one of the matching protrusions 41 of the key 4 presses the inflation guide rod 6 into the first limiting portion 24 of the cover 2 and presses against the top of the first limiting portion 24, and the other matching protrusion 41 presses against the top of the second limiting portion 25, so that the two sides of the key 4 are uniformly stressed, and the key 4 is prevented from shaking (see fig. 15-18) when pressed. When the inflation guide bar 6 moves down, the inflation hole 222 is opened, and the outside air enters the first chamber a through the gap between the decoration body 5 and the key 4, the gap between the inflation guide bar 6 and the first limiting portion 24, and the gap between the inflation guide bar 6 and the inflation hole 222 in sequence.

(5) After the state of pressing the button 4 is maintained for a while, the air pressure in the first chamber a is balanced with the outside, and the cover 2 can be easily detached from the container body 1, thereby taking out the object contained in the container body 1.

Therefore, the vacuumizing device arranged at the opening of the container body 1 can conveniently vacuumize, maintain pressure and inflate the first cavity by simply rotating, pressing and loosening the key 4 of the vacuumizing device, does not need auxiliary tools, and is convenient to operate and carry; the concave part 22 for accommodating the decorative body 5, the key 4 and the piston assembly 3 is arranged on the cover body 2, so that the volume of the cover body 2 is reduced, and the vacuum-pumping device is convenient to store and carry.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and not to be construed as limiting the present invention and that those skilled in the art may make modifications, alterations, substitutions and alterations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
