BACKGROUNDA storage tank is common daily living equipment. There are a wide variety of storage tanks. The most common storage tank comprises a tank body and a tank cover. After food and drugs are put into the tank body, the tank cover is covered to well isolate the articles placed in the tank body to prevent dust. The existing storage tank can be well sealed to prevent air from entering, so the freshness preservation of the articles plays a certain role, but the tank body itself contains certain air. Therefore, it is impossible to ensure that the articles in the tank body are in a vacuum state and the storage time is short. In addition, for a storage tank with a small bottle mouth, the prior art also has the practice of using a vacuum structure combined with a bottle cap. For example, a vacuum wine bottle uses a vacuum structure to extract the air in the bottle, which can store the wine in the bottle body longer. However, this vacuum bottle cap structure is not suitable for a wide-mouth storage tank, because the vacuum bottle cap with the small bottle mouth structure can be easily opened under the action of manpower and is not easy to be opened in the wide-mouth storage tank directly with manpower, which even causes damage to the storage tank.
Therefore, how to provide a tank cover with a pressure balance valve and a storage tank having same with simple and stable structure and convenient and rapid opening and closing is an urgent problem for those skilled in the art.
