The shade body is provided with a plurality of auxiliary openings which are corresponding to a plurality of through holes provided on the upper edge of the covering plate. The covering plate can be rotated with respect to the shade body such that the through holes align with the auxiliary openings and this will control convection of air within the container body. The temperature within the container body is thus regulated by adjusting the covering plate with respect to the shade body.
