Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container inner pushing device, and more particularly, to an inner pushing device capable of pushing a kimchi easily, quickly, and evenly over an entire area by using an elastic plate regardless of the size of a container in a container containing kimchi, The present invention relates to a container inner pushing device which is simple in construction and easy to manufacture and clean.

Generally, in order to age and store kimchi at a suitable temperature for a long period of time, a method of storing kimchi in a kimchi storage container and storing the kimchi in a kimchi refrigerator is the most recent method.

In this case, when the kimchi is stored in the kimchi storage container, the kimchi is filled in the container in many cases. In this case, the kimchi liquid flows out of the kimchi storage container due to an increase in the volume of the kimchi during the fermentation process, There is a problem that the inside becomes dirty and a bad smell occurs.

Also, in the process of aging the kimchi, a part of the kimchi stored at the upper side is not immersed in the kimchi liquid and is exposed to the air, so that the kimchi is dried or the kimchi is smelled.

In other words, kimchi must be aged and refrigerated in a state of being immersed in kimchi soup in a container, and a portion of the kimchi at the top is left in the air in the storage space of the container without being immersed in kimchi juice.

The kimchi left in the air in this way is caused by the air that is introduced through the gap between the lid and the container body, and the surface of the kimchi is not covered with the kimchi juice.

The taste of the kimchi is easily changed due to the surface phenomenon, and the quality of the kimchi is deteriorated.

To improve this, a pushing device has been disclosed in which the kimchi can be kept in a state of being locked in the broth by pressing the inside of the container containing the kimchi when the kimchi is dipped and stored.

Examples of such pushing devices include those disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 0411785, Japanese Patent No. 1239645, Japanese Patent Registration No. 0421699, Japanese Patent No. 0836838, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2011-0001773, and the like.

However, the above-described prior arts have a complicated push-plate structure for simply pressing the kimchi, and it is difficult to operate. In addition, in some cases, the structure is of a level that can not be evenly pressed. There is a drawback that it can not be obtained at all.

In particular, the conventional press plate has a slightly different size of the kimchi bar for each maker, and the compatibility is poor, so that it can not be used for other containers except the barrel of the corresponding size.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art and has been made to solve the above problems. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vacuum cleaner which is easy to manufacture and easy to use, The present invention has a main object of providing a container inner pushing device capable of accommodating all of the specifications even if the size of the container is slightly different depending on the manufacturer and providing a uniform pressing force over the entire area of the container.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a container inner pushing device for guiding a kimchi to be immersed in kimchi juice by being disposed on an upper portion of a kimchi contained in the kimchi container and pressing the kimchi therein; A pressure plate; A long side side plate and a short side plate formed at four sides of the press plate; A folding groove formed on the bottom surface of the press plate so that the long and short side plates can be folded while forming a boundary between the press plate and the long side and the short side plate; An elastic member connecting the upper surface of the press plate and the upper and lower side plates to each other; The inner wall surface of the kimch bin is fixed to cover the outer ends of the long and short side plates and the corners at both ends of the long side plates, so as to keep the bending deformed state after pressing the kimchi, The present invention provides a container inner pushing device comprising:

At this time, a finger ring which can lift only the long and short side plates is further formed on the upper surface of the long and short side plates.

According to the present invention, since the structure of the presser plate is simple and simple, it is easy to manufacture, the manufacturing cost can be drastically reduced, and it can be used in all kinds of kimchi containers of different specifications per manufacturer, Thereby improving the sealing effect.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Before describing the present invention, the following specific structural or functional descriptions are merely illustrative for the purpose of describing an embodiment according to the concept of the present invention, and embodiments according to the concept of the present invention may be embodied in various forms, And should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

In addition, since the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention can make various changes and have various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail herein. However, it should be understood that the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention are not intended to limit the present invention to specific modes of operation, but include all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the container inner pushing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a presser plate 10.

Since the pressure plate 10 is made of a plastic having a high elastic force, the elastic force can be maximized.

At this time, the presser plate 10 includes a long side side plate 20 and a short side plate 30 connected to each side and short side of the press plate 10 on the basis of a folding groove H performing a hinge function, .

In this case, the folding grooves H are formed on the lower end surface of the press plate 10 so as to protrude toward the upper surface, and it means that the long side side plate 20 and the short side plate 30 are elastically deformed while being bent , It does not mean that it is maintained in a completely bent state.

The reason why the long-side side plate 20 and the short-side side plate 30 are bent in accordance with the folding groove H, that is, the hinge point is that the container such as a kimchi pass is slightly However, there is a problem that it is necessary to provide a presser plate 10 having a specific size for each container because the maximum difference is in the range of 4-5 cm in the case of the width and the length. However, when the presser plate 10 can be bent as in the present invention, This is because there is an advantage that it can be used for all vessels, and an example of use will be described later with reference to FIG.

A closing member 40 is provided at each of the outer ends of the long-side side plate 20 and the short-side side plate 30 and the corner where both ends of the side plates are located.

As shown in the enlarged view, the closure member 40 may be fitted to the long-side side plate 20 and the short-side side plate 30, respectively. Silicon is preferable.

However, it does not necessarily have to be fitted and can be integrally formed, and need not be limited to silicon. That is, it may be a non-toxic material having stretchability.

In this case, the closure member 40 is intended to maintain airtightness, i.e., sealing, while being kept in frictional contact with the inner wall surface of the container when it is mounted on the container,

On the other hand, a grip groove 12 is formed in the center of the upper surface of the pressure plate 10, and a grip 14 is provided in the grip groove 12.

At this time, the handle 14 may have various shapes such as a arc shape and an ∩ shape. Both ends of the handle 14 are fitted to a wall surface of the handle groove 12 to constitute a rotation axis, In order to be able to be laid down.

Then, it is convenient to store and the appearance quality can be improved.

In addition, the pressure plate 10 may further include an air hole 16 on one side of the upper surface of the pressure plate 10 for discharging air (pressure relief) from the inside of the container. The air hole 16 may be formed through the air hole stopper 18 It is better if it can be opened and closed.

An elastic member 50 is provided between the side plates 20 and the side plates 30 so that the side plates 20 and the side plates 30 can be elastically folded with respect to the pressure plate 10.

In this case, the elastic member 50 may be any spring member such as a leaf spring, a line spring, or the like, as long as it has an elastic returning force.

In FIG. 1, it is shown that the wire spring is deformed to a predetermined shape so as to have a sufficient elastic force, which is expressed schematically, and an exemplary shape can be a shape of an enlarged cross section.

One of the fixing protrusions 52 protrudes from the upper surface of the pressure plate 10 and the other protrudes from the upper surface of the long side plate 20, And the short side plates 30, respectively.

Thus, both ends of the elastic member 50 are fitted into the fixing projections 52, respectively.

Each of the long-side side plate 20 and the short-side side plate 30 has a structure capable of being elastically deformable with respect to the pressure plate 10 under the elastic member 50 interposed therebetween.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, at least one finger ring 60 may further be provided on each of the upper surfaces of the long-side side plate 20 and the short-side side plate 30.

At this time, since the long side side plate 20 and the bottom side surface of the short side plate 30 are in contact with the inner wall surface of the container, the ring projections 62 protrude more than the grooves, When both ends of the ring 60 are rotatably fitted, it is possible to use them so that they can be held in a lying position as shown in (a) and put in a finger as shown in (b).

Accordingly, when the container is sealed, it is not easy to raise the long side plate 20 and the short side plate 30, but when lifting only one side by using the finger ring 60, do.

In this case, a plurality of irregularities or embosses may be formed on the surface of the finger ring 60 so as not to slide easily.

3, the present invention can be carried out in a state in which the present invention pressing device is placed on the opening of the container L as shown in (a) in a state in which a kimchi is housed in the container L, 10, the long side side plate 20 and the short side plate 30 are elastically deformed so that the pressure plate 10 is lowered and the long side side plate 20 and the short side plate 30 are folded and the container L So as to maintain the airtightness, and at the same time, the stored kimchi can be pressed with a certain pressure.

The pressing device according to the present invention is advantageous not only in ease of use but also in manufacturing cost and inexpensiveness. The pressing device according to the present invention has an advantage in that the angle between the long side side plate 20 and the short side side plate 30 It is expected that the application will be very large because it can cover most of the kimchi cask, regardless of volume.

On the other hand, as another example, a circular pressure plate can be realized as shown in Fig.

Of course, the example of FIG. 4 is only circular in shape, and the remaining configuration is the same as described above.

However, it should be noted that, in the case of a circular shape, since the term is not matched with the long side side plate and the short side side plate, the blade plate W can be folded by the elastic member 50 'along the perimeter of the pressure plate 10, The two ends of the wing plates W are slightly overlapped with each other, that is, they are overlapped to help maintain airtightness.

The elastic member 50 'may be configured to have a resilient return force by incorporating a torsion spring in the form of a hinge as shown in the figure.

In addition, the remaining components are included in the constitutional scope of the present invention described above, and the shape and shape of the component are changed according to the shape deformation.
