Description

Storage tank

The present invention relates to a storage container, and more particularly to a storage can.

In daily life, there are many small items that are easy to scatter, such as clips, paper clips, candy, and even drugs. In order to facilitate the storage and sorting of such small items, many storage tanks are required for storage.

The structure of a conventional storage tank consists of a tank body with an opening facing upward and a lid body. When only the same item is placed in the tank, the item can be poured out smoothly. However, when there are a plurality of compartments in the tank, and each compartment is filled with different items, if the items are poured out from the storage tank, the items in each compartment will be poured out together, and it is impossible to select only Only pour out one of the items. Therefore, when there are many types of items to be classified, it is necessary to prepare an equal number of storage tanks. However, for places with limited space (such as desks), the more the number of storage tanks, the more space is occupied, so that the space available to the user is relatively reduced. Therefore, the design of the conventional storage tanks is still incomplete.

In view of the above, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a storage can that can be used to sort two different items and to pour out the contained items from the same opening.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage tank comprising a can a body, a partition, at least a first magnet and a second magnet. Wherein, the can body has an opening that communicates with the inside and the outside of the can body; the partition member is disposed in the interior of the can body in a reversible manner, and the partition member partitions the interior of the can body into two spaces; The at least one first magnet is disposed on the partition; the second magnet drives the partition inside the tank by using an interaction force between the two magnetic poles and the two magnetic poles of the at least one first magnet Tumbler.

Wherein, the storage tank comprises a cover body for being coupled to the can body to close the opening; the second magnet is disposed on the cover body.

The top and bottom of the cover have a joint portion for respectively engaging the can body to close the opening; the two magnetic poles of the second magnet respectively face the top and the bottom of the cover body.

Wherein, the inner wall of the can body has two axial holes respectively located at two positions on the same straight line; the partition has a partition and two convex shafts protruding from the periphery of the partition; the at least one first a magnet is disposed on the partition plate; the two convex shaft shafts are respectively located at two positions on the same straight line, and are respectively coupled into the two shaft holes, so that the partition plate can be inside the tank body according to the two convex shafts Located in a straight line flip.

The partition has an inner container and a partition disposed inside the inner container and partitioning the inner portion of the inner container into two spaces; the inner container is coupled to the inner body in a manner that can be flipped in the inner body The inside of the can body; wherein the inner container has two openings at two opposite positions; the at least one first magnet is disposed on the partition.

Wherein, the inner container can be flipped inside the can body according to a fixed axis. And the two openings of the inner container are respectively connected to the opening of the can body during the turning process.

Wherein, the inner wall of the can body has two axial holes respectively located at two positions on the same straight line; the inner container has two convex axes protruding from the outer wall thereof, and the two convex shaft systems are respectively located on the same straight line. The two convex shafts are respectively coupled to the two axial holes, so that the inner container can be inverted inside the can body according to a line in which the two convex axes are located.

The inner wall of the can body has a guiding groove; the guiding groove forms a circular arc guiding path on the can body, and the guiding groove communicates with the opening of the can body; a convex portion is formed on the outer wall, and the convex portion is located in the guiding groove, so that the inner container can be turned over the inner side of the can body; the two openings of the inner container are respectively located on the convex portion. Thereby, the opening of the can body is respectively communicated during the flipping of the inner container.

Wherein, the partition has a partition; the at least one first magnet comprises two first magnets respectively disposed on two faces of the partition, and the magnetic poles of the two first magnets facing outward are different.

The two first magnets are alternately disposed on the two faces of the spacer.

Wherein, the can body has a base, and the second magnet is detachably disposed on the base.

Thereby, the storage tank can be classified into two different items, and can be respectively taken out from the same opening.

In order that the present invention may be more clearly described, the preferred embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
