The present invention relates to a vacuum container, and more particularly, to a vacuum container having an air intake device that automatically sucks air from the container to maintain a vacuum to keep the food therein fresh.

In general, the sealed container is for preventing food from being introduced into the container to preserve food stored therein, and includes a main body and a lid detachably connected to the main body. However, after a period of time, external air eventually enters the container and corrupts the food stored therein. In order to solve this drawback, an improved closed container has been introduced on the market.

The sealed container of this type is equipped with a vacuum pump and a check valve which are operated manually. By providing a vacuum pump, the air inside the container can be sucked in to maintain a vacuum to keep the food therein fresh.

However, since no vacuum sensing device is provided for monitoring the vacuum state inside the container, the user cannot know whether the air is leaking. In addition, a manually operated vacuum pump was required. Therefore, the vacuum state could not be kept constant every time the closed container was used.

Another disadvantage of conventional sealed containers is that there is no indication of when the food is stored therein. To record the storage time of the food, the user would normally have to put a dated sticker on the container in a sealed container to determine if the food is still edible. However, this undermines the appearance of the container. Therefore, the emergence of a vacuum container that can solve the above problems has been required.

It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a vacuum container having an air intake device that can automatically inhale air from the container to maintain a vacuum to keep the food stored therein fresh.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum container having a data recording device that allows a user to know when food is stored therein.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum container having an ozone generator that can further enhance the effect of keeping food fresh.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the vacuum container is a main body connected with the bottom sheet having an air intake device mounted therein, the body is a micro switch, micro electrically connected to the air intake device A fastener having a second lever slidably contacting the lever of the switch, a first end having a pin selectively connected to a hole in the body, and a first end having a second end slidably contacting the second lever of the fastener And a cover having a spring mounted between the first lever and the second end of the first lever and the tab of the main body, the tab having a tab connected to the main shaft and the rotational shaft and clamped with the fastener of the main body. When the lid is closed, the air intake device may automatically start to draw air from the vessel until a preset vacuum is reached. When the set state is reached, the air intake device automatically stops operating.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the vacuum container further includes a data recording apparatus mounted to the lid.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the vacuum vessel further comprises an ozone generator connected to the ozone inlet of the vessel via a hose and electrically connected to the vacuum pump. When the vessel reaches a preset vacuum, the vacuum pump stops operation and the ozone generator starts operation for a preset time.
