Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dental floss box products, in particular to a base device which is convenient for taking out dental floss sticks. Background Art

[0002] In the daily life of residents, dental floss sticks are common tools for cleaning teeth. Common dental floss sticks include a long handle, a dental floss bow, and dental floss. The dental floss bow is U-shaped and connected to the long handle, and the two ends of the dental floss are respectively fixed at the bifurcated openings of the dental floss bow. There are many dental floss boxes on the market that can accommodate dental floss sticks, including dental floss boxes that simply store dental floss sticks and need to be taken out one by one, and dental floss boxes with a dental floss pop-up structure that can eject the dental floss stick without directly contacting the dental floss stick. The former is too simple and easily contaminates the remaining dental floss sticks when taking out the dental floss sticks. The latter has a relatively complicated pop-up structure, which causes difficulty in production. In the fierce market competition, it is necessary to continuously improve dental floss box products to adapt to market demand. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a base device which is convenient for taking out a dental floss stick, and has the characteristics of simple structure, few parts and components, and convenient installation and use.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A base device for facilitating the taking of a dental floss stick, which cooperates with the dental floss stick and the dental floss box cover. The dental floss stick comprises a long handle, a dental floss bow, and dental floss. The dental floss bow is U-shaped and connected to the long handle. Both ends of the dental floss are respectively fixed at the bifurcated openings of the dental floss bow. The base device comprises a base box, a toggle knob, and a knob reset device. The base box comprises a bottom plate and a flange extending upward from the periphery of the bottom plate. The bottom plate and the flange form a pop-up cavity with an open top. A plurality of supporting ribs perpendicular to the bottom plate are arranged in the pop-up cavity. A limit baffle is arranged on the top of the supporting rib. A knob reset device is arranged at one or both ends of the bottom plate to cooperate with the toggle knob. The knob reset device comprises a positioning column, an elastic strip or a torsion spring. The toggle knob comprises a rotary knob. A rotating plate, a toggle plate, a partition, a striking plate, and a return plate. The flange is provided with a notch that matches the rotating plate. The rotating plate is rotatably connected to the positioning column. One side of the rotating plate extends out of the notch and is connected to the toggle plate. The other side of the rotating plate is provided with a protruding partition. After the rotating plate is installed, the height of the top side surface is not lower than the height of the flap. The floss bow of the dental floss stick falls on the top of the partition before the toggle knob is rotated, and the floss bow of the dental floss stick falls on the rotating plate after the toggle knob is rotated. The height of the striking plate is not higher than the height of the partition. The striking plate is located on the outside of the dental floss stick after the toggle knob is rotated. A return plate is provided at the bottom of the rotating plate, and the return plate is tightly attached to the elastic strip or torsion spring.

[0006] The base device of the present invention has a simple structure and actually uses only three parts, namely, the base box, the toggle knob, and the elastic strip or torsion spring of the knob reset device. It is convenient to produce and install. In conjunction with the dental floss box cover, multiple dental floss sticks can be placed in the dental floss box cover. When the dental floss stick is not ejected, its long handle part falls on the supporting rib plate in the ejection cavity, and the long handle is limited by the limit stopper. The dental floss bow and dental floss part of the dental floss stick fall on the top of the partition of the rotating plate, and the dental floss box cover blocks the dental floss bow and dental floss part of the dental floss stick. When the dental floss stick needs to be ejected, The knob is turned by hand so that the dental floss bow and the dental floss part of the dental floss stick can fall onto the rotating plate and avoid being blocked by the dental floss box cover. At this time, the impact plate on the rotating plate is located on the side of the dental floss bow and the dental floss part. After releasing the knob, the knob is reset in the opposite direction under the action of the elastic strip or the torsion spring, so that the impact plate on the rotating plate impacts the dental floss bow or the dental floss part from the side to eject it for use. After taking out the dental floss stick, the dental floss stick stored in the box cover falls down accordingly, so that the bottom dental floss stick moves to the position of the previous dental floss stick.

[0007] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the dental floss box cover is snap-fitted with the base box, and a wire outlet groove matching the length of the dental floss stick is provided at the bottom of one or both sides of the dental floss box cover. The dental floss box cover of this solution is matched with the number of knob reset devices to set the wire outlet groove on one side (one knob reset device) or on both sides (two knob reset devices); the snap-fit ​​connection adopts the connection method of male buckle and female buckle.

[0008] As a preferred solution of the utility model, one or two groups of dental floss stick limiting posts are provided in the dental floss box cover, a dental floss stick storage compartment is formed between the dental floss stick limiting posts and the inner side of the dental floss box cover, and an elastic pressure strip is provided in the dental floss stick storage compartment. If this solution adopts a knob reset device, only one group of dental floss stick limiting posts need to be provided in the dental floss box cover to limit the dental floss stick in the dental floss stick storage compartment. If two knob reset devices are adopted, two groups of dental floss stick limiting posts need to be provided in the dental floss box cover; when the dental floss stick is inserted into the dental floss box cover, the elastic pressure strip is pressed. When the dental floss stick is taken out from the base device, the elastic pressure strip generates a pressure on the dental floss stick, which, in combination with the weight of the dental floss stick itself, allows the dental floss stick to continue to fall.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the dial knob is reset after being rotated clockwise, and the knob reset device provides a counterclockwise restoring elastic force.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the dial knob is reset after being rotated counterclockwise, and the knob reset device provides clockwise restoring elastic force.

[0011] The toggle knob of the present invention can be used clockwise or counterclockwise. According to different rotation directions, it is only necessary to adjust the return direction of the elastic strip or torsion spring and the close contact position of the return plate at the bottom of the rotating plate during installation.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the utility model, one end of the elastic strip is connected to the positioning column, and the other end is tightly attached to the return plate at the bottom of the rotating plate. When the elastic strip of this solution is tightly attached to the return plate at the bottom of the rotating plate, the two sides of the return plate can generate return elastic forces in different directions.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the torsion spring is V-shaped, the middle part of the torsion spring is a spring coil and is sleeved on the outside of the positioning column, one end or both ends of the bottom plate are provided with a limit slot plate that matches one end of the torsion spring, one end of the torsion spring is clamped on the limit slot plate, and the other end of the torsion spring is tightly attached to the return plate at the bottom of the rotating plate. When the torsion spring of this solution is installed in a V shape or an inverted V shape, the direction of its return elastic force can be exactly opposite.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the rotating plate is provided with a countersunk screw, a rotating hole is provided in the middle of the rotating plate, a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the positioning column, the countersunk screw passes through the rotating hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the rotating plate can rotate around the countersunk screw. The thread length of the threaded hole in this solution is smaller than the thread length of the countersunk screw. When the countersunk screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole to the bottom, there is still enough space between the countersunk seat of the countersunk screw and the top surface of the positioning column to accommodate the thickness of the rotating plate. Therefore, the countersunk screw only plays a limiting role on the rotating plate (limiting the upward and downward movement of the rotating plate), but does not press the rotating plate, so the rotating plate can rotate around the countersunk screw.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] The utility model has a simple structure, fewer parts and components, and is convenient to install and use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
