FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present relates to the technical field of storage containers, and in particular, to a detachable automatic vacuum storage container.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONStorage containers are used to store articles, mainly used for storing foods or moistureproof articles. With the increasingly higher living level, people enhance their pursuit of quality of life. Traditionally, the storage containers can protect the foods or articles by simply sealing them to a certain extent. However, there exists air in the storage boxes and foods stored for a long time may be prone to oxidize and deteriorate, the articles stored may be damaged in wet weather condition, therefore, the traditional storage containers can not meet people's increasing living needs. In order to enhance the food preservation effect and moisture and pest control of articles in the storage containers, the vacuum storage containers emerge. The container is in a vacuum state inside, due to isolation of air, foods can be stored longer under the vacuum environment, and the valuables can be stored in the vacuum box, which has a better effect of rodent, pest control and moisture resistance. The existing vacuum storage container usually comprises a vacuum control device and a seal box, and the vacuum control device is usually secured to the seal box, and a vacuum control device can pump air for the assembled box body only; usually the processing and production cost of a vacuum control device is high, so the market retail price is high; for consumers, the storage of articles in the vacuum boxes in a large scope is unrealistic and possibly causes a great waste of space. During use, for some vacuum storage containers, the vacuum control device is monitored, opened and closed manually, which will greatly reduce users' experiences, besides it is difficult to control the vacuumizing time artificially; and if it is operated incorrectly, the storage effect of articles will be affected. The vacuum control device and sealed box are detachable for some vacuum storage containers, but their vacuumizing effect is poor, and it is difficult to align the suction port, or even the port deviation may occur during vacuumizing.
