Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tissue box technology, specifically a tissue box with spare and reminder functions. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, tissue boxes are a common tool for storing and using tissues. Traditional tissue boxes have a simple structure, usually only having one space to hold tissues. After the tissues are used up, they need to be replaced with new tissues in time, otherwise there will be no tissues available.

[0003] Existing dual-chamber tissue boxes still have many shortcomings in practical use. Due to the lack of clear guidance and differentiation mechanisms, users often take tissues from both chambers at the same time, resulting in the simultaneous consumption of two tissues. This fails to truly realize the function of a spare tissue and cannot ensure that tissues are always available when needed. When the spare tissue runs out, existing tissue boxes cannot promptly and effectively remind users. Users only realize that there are no tissues available when the currently used tissues are also used up, thus finding themselves in an awkward situation. Therefore, a tissue box with spare and reminder functions is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tissue box with backup and reminder functions to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tissue box with spare and reminder functions, comprising a shell, a partition fixed in the middle of the inner wall of the shell, and a first placement cavity and a second placement cavity respectively provided inside the shell, the first placement cavity being used to place spare tissues, and the second placement cavity being used to place used tissues; A reminder component is provided on one side of the first placement cavity, and the reminder component is used to remind whether a spare tissue is placed in the first placement cavity; The reminder component includes a box body, a box cover connected to one side of the box body, a through hole on one side of the box cover, a limit block fixed to the inner wall of the box cover, and a connecting plate hinged to one side of the limit block; A pressure block is fixed on one side of the connecting plate, and a push block is fixed on the other side of the connecting plate; An indicator light and a buzzer are installed inside one side of the box cover, and a micro switch is installed on the inner wall of the box, with contacts on the surface of the micro switch.

[0006] Preferably, the first placement cavity and the second placement cavity are located on both sides of the partition, and the bottom of the housing has a paper outlet hole located at the bottom of the second placement cavity.

[0007] Preferably, the box body has a battery cavity inside, a battery is installed inside the battery cavity, and a cover plate located on one side of the battery is connected to the bottom of the box body.

[0008] Preferably, the battery output terminal is electrically connected to the input terminal of the micro switch, and the output terminal of the micro switch is electrically connected to the input terminals of the indicator light and the buzzer, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the pressure block is inserted inside the through hole, and the width of the through hole is greater than the width of the pressure block.

[0010] Preferably, the push block is located on one side of the contact. When the contact pops up, the micro switch is turned on, and the indicator light and buzzer are in working condition.

[0011] Preferably, the box body is fixed to the inner wall of the first placement cavity.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the housing is fitted with a cover.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following technical effects: 1. Users can place two tissues inside the first and second placement chambers respectively. First, take out the tissue from the second placement chamber for use, and keep the tissue from the first placement chamber for later use. When the tissue in the second placement chamber is used up, the spare tissue in the first placement chamber can be transferred to the second placement chamber for use. Then, new tissues are put into the first placement chamber for storage and later use. This cycle can be repeated to effectively prevent the two tissues in the first and second placement chambers from being used up at the same time, ensuring that tissues are always available.

[0014] 2. When there is no spare tissue inside the first placement chamber or the spare tissue has been removed and used, the push block does not apply pressure to the contact point due to the lack of weight of the spare tissue. The normally closed micro switch is turned on, the circuit is connected, the indicator light lights up and the buzzer sounds, which can promptly and effectively remind the user that the spare tissue has been used up, avoiding the embarrassing situation of not having any tissue available due to not noticing in time.

[0020] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-8This utility model provides a technical solution: a tissue box with backup and reminder functions, including a shell 1, a partition 4 fixed in the middle of the inner wall of the shell 1, a first placement cavity 6 and a second placement cavity 7 respectively provided inside the shell 1, the first placement cavity 6 is used to place spare tissues, and the second placement cavity 7 is used to place used tissues. The used tissues placed in the second placement cavity 7 are pulled out through the paper outlet hole 2 to realize the normal paper dispensing function. The first placement cavity 6 and the second placement cavity 7 are located on both sides of the partition 4. The surface of the first placement cavity 6 does not have a paper outlet hole 2, so the tissues inside the first placement cavity 6 can only be used as spare tissues. The spare tissues are placed inside the second placement cavity 7 before they can be used. The bottom of the shell 1 has a paper outlet hole 2 located at the bottom of the second placement cavity 7. The top of the shell 1 is fitted with a top cover 3. A hook is provided on one side of the shell 1 for easy connection by pasting to the wall of the bathroom. The shell 1 is placed vertically, and under its own weight, the inner side of the top cover 3 is inserted into the top of the shell 1. A reminder component 5 is provided on one side of the first placement cavity 6. The reminder component 5 is used to remind whether spare tissues are placed in the first placement cavity. The reminder component 5 includes a box body 51, and a box cover 52 is connected to one side of the box body 51. The box cover 52 can be connected to the box body 51 by a buckle or screw. A through hole 53 is opened on one side of the box cover 52. A limit block 56 is fixed to the inner wall of the box cover 52. A connecting plate 59 is hinged to one side of the limit block 56. A pressure block 513 is fixed to one side of the connecting plate 59, and a push block 510 is fixed to the other side of the connecting plate 59. When no spare tissues are placed in the first placement cavity 6, after the pressure block 513 loses the gravity of the spare tissues, the push block 510 is popped open by the contact point 512, and the connecting plate 59 rotates around the hinge point of the limit block 56. When the device is activated, one side of the connecting plate 59 is attached to one side of the cover 52, keeping the push block 510 and the contact 512 of the micro switch 511 separated. The push block 510 has no force to push the contact 512 of the micro switch 511, and the contact 512 is not pressed. At this time, the normally closed contact 512 of the micro switch 511 remains closed due to the lack of external force. The battery 58 forms a conductive circuit through the micro switch 511, and the indicator light 54 and the buzzer 55 are powered on and emit light and sound signals to remind the user to replenish spare tissues. The indicator light 54 and the buzzer 55 are installed inside one side of the cover 52, and the micro switch 511 is installed on the inner wall of the box body 51. The surface of the micro switch 511 is provided with the contact 512.

[0021] The inner side of the housing 51 has a battery cavity, and a battery 58 is installed inside the battery cavity. A cover plate 57 located on one side of the battery 58 is connected to the bottom of the housing 51. The output terminal of the battery 58 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the micro switch 511. The output terminal of the micro switch 511 is electrically connected to the input terminals of the indicator light 54 and the buzzer 55, respectively. The micro switch 511 is a normally closed micro switch, and the model of the micro switch 511 is V-15-2C25. When the user puts the spare tissue into the first placement cavity 6, the bottom of the tissue contacts the pressure block 513 and applies downward pressure to the pressure block 513. Since the pressure block 513 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 59, the connecting plate 59 rotates around the hinge point of the limiting block 56, driving the push block 510 on the other side to move towards the contact point 512. Its end contacts the contact point 512 of the micro switch 511 and applies pressing pressure to the contact point 512. Since the micro switch 511 is normally closed, the internal spring sheet of the contact 512 deforms after being pressed, causing the contact 512 to switch from the closed state to the open state, cutting off the circuit connection between the battery 58 and the indicator light 54 and the buzzer 55. After the circuit is disconnected, the indicator light 54 goes out, the buzzer 55 stops sounding, the reminder function is turned off, indicating that the spare tissue has been placed normally, and the pressure block 513 is inserted into the inside of the through hole 53. The width of the through hole 53 is greater than the width of the pressure block 513.

[0022] No spare tissues are placed inside the first placement cavity 6. The push block 510 is located on one side of the contact 512. When the push block 510 does not apply pressure to the contact 512, the contact 512 pops up, the micro switch 511 is turned on, and the indicator light 54 and the buzzer 55 are in working state. When spare tissues are placed inside the first placement cavity 6, the push block 510 contacts the contact 512. When the push block 510 applies pressure to press the contact 512, the micro switch 511 is turned off, and the indicator light 54 and the buzzer 55 are in a non-working state. The box body 51 is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the first placement cavity 6.

[0023] The micro switch 511 is a small micro switch. The weight of the connecting plate 59, push block 510 and pressure block 513 is light and insufficient to press the contact 512. Only when a spare tissue is used to press the pressure block 513 can the push block 510 press the contact. When the spare tissue is removed, the contact 512 will naturally spring up and the push block 510 will also be popped away. At this time, the push block 510 and the contact 512 are in light contact.

[0024] Working principle: The user places two tissues inside the first placement cavity 6 and the second placement cavity 7 respectively, and takes out the tissue from the second placement cavity 7 through the paper outlet 2 for use. The tissue inside the first placement cavity 6 is reserved for later use. When the tissue in the second placement cavity 7 is used up, the reserved tissue in the first placement cavity 6 is transferred to the second placement cavity 7 for use, and then a tissue is put into the first placement cavity 6 for storage. This cycle is repeated to avoid the two tissues in the first placement cavity 6 and the second placement cavity 7 being used up at the same time. When there is no spare tissue inside the first placement cavity 6 or when it is removed and used, the push block 510 is located on one side of the contact 512 under the action of the weight of the spare tissue on the connecting plate 59. At this time, the push block 510 does not apply pressure to the contact 512. The contact 512 of the micro switch 511 returns to its natural state due to the loss of pressure. Since the micro switch 511 is a normally closed micro switch, the micro switch 511 is turned on, the circuit is connected, the indicator light 54 lights up, and the buzzer 55 sounds to remind the user that the spare tissue has been used up and needs to be replenished in time. When a spare tissue is placed inside the first placement cavity 6, the spare tissue will press down on the pressure block 513. The pressure block 513 drives the connecting plate 59 to rotate around the hinge point, causing the push block 510 to press the contact 512. At this time, the micro switch 511 is disconnected, the circuit is cut off, the indicator light 54 is turned off, and the buzzer 55 stops sounding, indicating that the spare tissue has been placed and no replenishment is needed.

[0025] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the micro switch 511 can be other types of switches, such as tactile switches, mercury switches, gravity switches, angle switches, ball switches, Hall switches, photoelectric switches, reset switches, and inductive switches, as well as all switches that can conduct power.

[0026] Example 3 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1 and 2 is that: The micro switch 511 is vertically fixed to the inner wall of the box 51, and the contact 512 protrudes from the top of the box cover 52. The size of the contact 512 is increased to fit the spare tissue, and the bottom of the spare tissue directly contacts the contact 512.

[0027] Example 4 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1, 2, and 3 is that: The indicator light 54 or the buzzer 55 can be installed separately. The indicator light 54 and the buzzer 55 can be installed in any position in the tissue box. The battery 58 can be a AAA battery, a button battery or a rechargeable battery. The cover 57 is connected to the bottom of the first placement cavity 6 by bolts or clips. The battery 58 can be replaced by removing the cover 57.

[0028] Example 5 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1, 2, 3, and 4 is that: The housing 1 has a third placement cavity inside, and the reminder component 5 is located inside the third placement cavity. The third placement cavity is a tissue box that can only hold one tissue. When there is no tissue inside the third placement cavity, it can remind the user. At this time, the tissue box is used as a spare tissue storage and the stored tissue can be transferred to other tissue boxes for use.

[0029] Example 6 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 is that: The box 51 is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the first placement cavity 6 by screws.

[0030] Example 7 This embodiment differs from Embodiments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in that: The box 51 can be fixed to the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the inner wall of the first placement cavity 6, so that the pressure block 513 can withstand the pressure of the spare tissue in the upper, lower, left, and right directions, thereby prompting the user.

[0031] Example 8 This embodiment differs from Embodiments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 in that: The top of the housing 1 is fitted with a top cover 3, and the top of the top cover 3 has a paper output hole 2 located at the top of the second placement cavity 7, so that the paper output hole 2 faces upward, making it convenient to place and use on the desktop.

[0032] Example 9 This embodiment differs from Embodiments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in the following ways: The micro switch 512 is mounted on the right side, front, back, or bottom of the push block 510.

[0033] In summary, users can place two tissues inside the first placement cavity 6 and the second placement cavity 7 respectively. First, the tissues inside the second placement cavity 7 are used, while the tissues inside the first placement cavity 6 are kept as spares. When the tissues in the second placement cavity 7 are used up, the spare tissues in the first placement cavity 6 can be transferred to the second placement cavity 7 for use. After that, new tissues are put into the first placement cavity 6 for storage and backup. This cycle effectively avoids the situation where the two tissues in the first placement cavity 6 and the second placement cavity 7 are used up at the same time, ensuring that tissues are always available.

[0034] When there is no spare tissue inside the first placement cavity 6 or the spare tissue has been removed and used, the push block 510 does not apply pressure to the contact 512 without the weight of the spare tissue. The normally closed micro switch 511 is turned on, the circuit is connected, the indicator light 54 lights up and the buzzer 55 sounds, which can promptly and effectively remind the user that the spare tissue has been used up, avoiding the embarrassing situation of not having any tissue available due to not noticing in time.
