Description

storage container

technical field

The invention relates to a storage container, in particular to a storage container for storing food and the like.

Background technique

A general refrigerator has a refrigerator compartment, a freezer compartment, and a vegetable compartment as storage compartments. In recent years, along with the popularization of frozen food, the size of the freezer compartment has been increasing, and thus the volume of the vegetable compartment may not be sufficiently secured. As a solution to this problem, it is conceivable to store food such as vegetables in a storage container and store the storage container in a refrigerator.

An example of a storage container is described in Patent Document 1 (JP-A-8-170873). The storage container has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a cool air vent is formed by opening the lower part in a slit shape. Cool air enters the inside of the storage container through the cool air vent, thereby cooling foods such as vegetables stored in the storage container to a predetermined refrigerating temperature range.

However, in the storage container of the background art described above, there is room for improvement from the viewpoint of freshness preservation of food to be stored.

Specifically, since a slit is formed in the storage container of the background art, moisture contained in stored vegetables and the like is discharged to the outside of the container through the slit. In this way, there is a problem that the freshness of vegetables decreases early.

In addition, since the slit is formed on the lower surface and the side surface of the container, there is also a problem that dust enters the inside of the storage container through the slit.

This invention is made|formed in view of the said situation, and it aims at providing the storage container which can keep the freshness of the vegetables stored favorably.
