Vacuum storage system 1 according to the present invention configured as described above is stored in each of the storage (k) including the medicines, foods and grains in a plurality of storage grooves 12 provided in the main body portion 10 The bins 5 are stored in vacuum. That is, as shown in Figure 4, in the state in which the storage box 5 is removed from any one of the storage groove 12 provided in the main body portion 10, containing the storage (k) therein, again the storage groove 12 Can be stored in a vacuum.

First, in the state which removed the storage box 5 from the storage groove 12, the storage material k is contained in the upper surface open surface 5a side of the storage box 5. Then, when the storage box 5 is pushed into the storage groove 12 side of the main body 10, the sealing rim 7 formed on the front surface 5c side of the storage box 5 is the groove-shaped groove 7a. By tightly fitting the protrusions 16 of the storage groove 12, the storage box 5 is free of air inflow into the storage groove 12 around the edge of the storage container insertion opening 12a in which it is fitted.

When the storage box 5 is inserted into the storage groove 12 in this manner, the rear surface of the storage box 5 presses the push rod 46 of the vacuum-forming valve 31, and thus the push rod 46 is pushed. As a result, the vent hole 44 of the vacuum forming valve 31 is opened so that the vacuum pressure from the conduit 32 reaches the inside of the storage groove 12.

When the vacuum forming valve 31 is opened in this way, the vacuum pressure maintained in the vacuum tank 54 and the vacuum header 56 of the vacuum pressure generating unit 50 is connected to the branch pipe 34 and the branch pipe 34. Air is drawn in from the storage groove 12 through the conduit 32 and the interior space of the storage grooves 12 is maintained in vacuum.

When the air in the storage groove 12 flows into the vacuum tank 54 side by the vacuum pressure of the vacuum tank 54 as described above, the vacuum pressure of the vacuum tank 54 is lowered, and the variation of the vacuum pressure is vacuum. It is sent to the control part 70 through the pressure detection sensor 54a.

Therefore, the controller 70 compares whether the detected vacuum pressure corresponds to the set vacuum pressure by the internal circuit, and operates the vacuum pump 52 to compensate for the vacuum pressure lower than the set vacuum pressure. Therefore, the air in the vacuum tank 54 is discharged to the outside by the operation of the vacuum pump 52, the vacuum pressure in the vacuum tank 54 is raised to the set pressure again to replenish.

Therefore, the storage k contained in the storage box 5 is maintained at a vacuum pressure to prevent any damage or rot even if stored for a long time.

On the other hand, if you want to take out the storage (k) in the vacuum stored state in this way, because the storage box (5) is sealed in the storage groove 12 and fitted in a vacuum state does not open easily even when pulling the handle (5b). At this time, when the user presses the push button 95 of the vacuum release button 92 of the vacuum release unit 90, the push button 95 presses the spring 94 from the front surface 5c of the storage box 5. Pushing backward, the blocking plate 98 opens the vents 93a at the rear of the cover 93.

Therefore, due to the air pressure difference between the vacuum state in the storage box 5 and the atmospheric pressure outside the storage box 5, the air flows into the inside of the storage box 5 through the air vents 93a and 93b.

Thus, the vacuum in the storage groove 12 in which the storage box 5 is located is released, and the user can easily store the storage from the storage groove 12 by pulling the handle 5b fixed to the front surface 5c of the storage box 5 ( 5) can be taken out.

On the other hand, when the storage box 5 is pulled out from the storage groove 12 in this way, the vacuum forming valve 31 as described above is shown in Figure 6a, by the force of the spring 43, the pressing rod ( 46 is pushed toward the storage groove 12 to keep all of the vent holes 44 closed, and blocks the vacuum pressure from the vacuum tank 54 from affecting the storage groove 12.

As such, when the vacuum forming valve 31 is blocked, the vacuum state is released in the storage groove 12.

Then, when the storage box 5 is removed from the storage groove 12 as described above, the storage box 5 is stored in the storage box 5 again in a vacuum state, and the storage box 5 is again stored in the storage groove ( 12) When pushed to the side as described above with respect to FIG. 6B), the push rod 46 is reversed to open the vent hole 44 so that vacuum pressure is stored through the conduit 32 and the branch pipe 34. It extends into the groove 12, and thus a vacuum is formed in the internal space of the storage grooves 12.

On the other hand, when the air in the storage groove 12 is sucked in such a way that a vacuum is formed, the push button 95 of the vacuum release button 92 tries to reverse by the vacuum, but the vacuum level in the storage box 5 is reversed. The force of the spring 94 is greater than the vacuum pressure since it is only required that the air is removed.

Accordingly, the push button 95 is brought into close contact with the front surface 5c side of the storage box 5 as an action force of the spring 94, and the vent hole 93a is not released by the blocking plate 98 and is kept closed. will be.

In addition, when the vacuum-forming valve 31 is opened as described above, the push rod 46 tries to push the rear side of the storage box 5 to the front side by the repulsive force of the spring 43, but the storage box 5 is stored. By the vacuum pressure formed in the groove 12, and because of the structure in which the projections 16 are fitted in the sealing edge 7, it is held in a stable state in the storage groove 12.

In this manner, a vacuum pressure is formed in the storage box 5, and the storage k contained in the storage box 5 is kept in a vacuum state to prevent any damage or rot even when stored for a long time.

According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to keep the storage containing the medicines, foods, grains and the like in a vacuum state can be stored in a good state for a long time.
