In addition, in the following description, the descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present utility model.

[0037] Embodiment 1: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a portable dental floss box includes a box body 1, wherein the box body 1 is provided with a accommodating chamber for storing dental floss and a driving mechanism 2 for driving the dental floss in the accommodating chamber to come out, a control member 3 for driving the mechanism 2 is provided on the box body 1, an outlet 4 for taking out the dental floss is provided on the box body 1, and a pushing device 5 for pushing the dental floss in the accommodating chamber to a position below the outlet 4 is provided inside the box body 1. When in use, by starting the control member 3, the driving mechanism 2 can make the dental floss below the outlet 4 come out from the outlet 4, so that the user can take it out for use. When the control member 3 controls the driving mechanism 2 to return to its original position, the pushing device 5 can push the remaining dental floss into the accommodating chamber below the outlet 4 and wait for the control member 3 to be started again. Then the dental floss can be driven out of the chamber in the box body 1 again. In this way, one dental floss comes out at a time during use, avoiding the problem of multiple dental flosses coming out at one time, which leads to waste of use. On the basis of keeping the structure simpler, the problem of dental floss falling without reason can be prevented, which is more conducive to meeting the use needs.

[0038] Embodiment 2: It can be explained on the basis of embodiment 1, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the box body 1 includes a shell 11 and a partition 12 arranged in the shell 11, the partition 12 divides the accommodating chamber into a chamber 13 and a chamber 2 14, a driving mechanism 2 is installed in the chamber 13, a frame 15 for accommodating dental floss is arranged in the chamber 2 14, a placement chamber consistent with the dental floss is arranged in the frame 15, a through hole 16 is opened on the partition 12, the partition 12, the placement chamber of the frame 15 and the driving mechanism 2 passing through the through hole 16 form an outlet space for supplying dental floss out of the box body 1, and when the driving mechanism 2 is controlled by the control member 3 to make the dental floss in the outlet space come out from the outlet 4 for user use, and when the driving mechanism 2 is controlled to return to its position by the control member 3 again, the dental floss in the placement chamber enters the outlet space again, and then the driving mechanism 2 is controlled by the control member 3, the driving mechanism 2 can make the dental floss in the outlet space come out from the outlet 4 again, and this cycle is repeated, and the dental floss comes out one by one each time, avoiding the problem of multiple dental floss falling, and better meeting the use requirements.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the wire outlet space is located below the outlet 4, so that the dental floss in the wire outlet space can be discharged through the outlet 4.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 andFigure 6 As shown, on the side end face of the housing 11, there are a first end cover 17 and a second end cover 18. The first end cover 17 is used to cover the first chamber 13, and the second end cover 18 is used to cover the second chamber 14. A pushing device 5 is provided on the inner side wall of the second end cover 18, and a mirror surface 19 is provided on the outer side surface of the second end cover 18. This kind of setting structure is more novel and more conducive to meeting the usage requirements.

[0041] Among them, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the pushing device 5 is located on the inner side wall of the housing 11 in the accommodation chamber. This is beneficial for the dental floss in the wire outlet space to enter the wire placement chamber through the pushing device 5 after being used. In this way, it can automatically replenish the dental floss in the placement chamber into the wire outlet space, so as to facilitate the subsequent extraction of the dental floss and make it more convenient for users to take and use.

[0042] Embodiment 3: It can be described on the basis of Embodiment 2. As Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown in the figure, the driving mechanism 2 includes a sliding plate 21 that can move back and forth in the first chamber 13. A rack 22 is provided on one side of the sliding plate 21, and a mounting seat 23 for placing dental floss is provided on the other side of the sliding plate 21. The mounting seat 23 is in contact with the end face of the frame 15, which is beneficial for the dental floss in the placement cavity of the frame 15 to enter the mounting seat 23 under the action of the pushing device 5. The mounting seat 23 passes through the through hole 16. A strip-shaped hole 24 is provided on the sliding plate 21, and a gear 25 is provided on the partition plate 12. The gear 25 meshes with the rack 22. A fixed shaft 26 is provided on the gear 25, and the fixed shaft 26 is fixedly arranged on the partition plate 12 and is located in the strip-shaped hole 24. The rotation of the gear 25 meshes and drives the rack 22, which will cause the sliding plate 21 to move back and forth. The movement range of the fixed shaft 26 in the strip-shaped hole 24 limits the back-and-forth sliding range of the sliding plate 21. The gear 25 meshes and drives a control member 3, and the control member 3 can slide back and forth on the housing 11. When in use, the back-and-forth sliding of the control member 3 drives the self-rotation of the gear 25, and then the self-rotation of the gear 25 meshes and drives the back-and-forth movement of the rack 22, thereby causing the sliding plate 21 to move back and forth. Finally, the dental floss on the mounting seat 23 of the sliding plate 21 can enter and exit from the outlet 4. For example, when the control member 3 is slid downward, the control member 3 will drive the gear 25 to rotate clockwise, and the clockwise rotation of the gear 25 will drive the rack 22 to move upward, so that the dental floss on the mounting seat 23 of the sliding plate 21 can come out from the outlet 4 for the user to take and use. When the control member 3 is slid upward, the control member 3 will drive the gear 25 to rotate counterclockwise, and the counterclockwise rotation of the gear 25 will drive the rack 22 to move downward, so that the mounting seat 23 of the sliding plate 21 will return to its original position, and then the pushing device 5 will cause the dental floss in the placement cavity to enter the wire outlet space, that is, on the mounting seat 23. Such a cycle is beneficial for the dental floss to be available for use when needed, and is more conducive to meeting the use requirements. The sliding plate 21 is integrally formed with the rack 22 and the mounting seat 23 respectively. This setting greatly improves the firmness of the structure and is also beneficial to the stability of the operation of the sliding plate 21.

[0043] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, further explanation is that the control member 3 includes a toothed belt 31 located in the first chamber 13. A button 32 is provided on the toothed belt 31, and a notch 33 for the button 32 to slide back and forth is provided on the housing 11. This is beneficial for the user to make the toothed belt 31 slide up and down by pressing the button 32 up and down, facilitating the user's operation.

[0044] Embodiment 4: It can be described on the basis of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 or Embodiment 3. AsFigure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the pushing device 5 includes a fixed seat 51 arranged on the inner side wall of the box body 1. A spring 52 is arranged on the fixed seat 51, and a top plate 53 is arranged on the spring 52. The top plate 53 presses the dental floss in the accommodating cavity against the driving mechanism 2. This kind of setting is reasonable and convenient to implement.

[0045] Furthermore, the fixed seat 51 and the box body 1 are integrally formed, which improves the firmness of the structure.

[0046] Even further, as Figure 2 shown, the top plate 53 includes a base 531, and a plate body 532 is arranged on the base 531. The plate body 532 is used to press the dental floss. Protrusions 533 are arranged around the base 531. The base 531 is located in the spring 52, and the base 531 is fixed on the spring 52 by clamping the spring 52 through the protrusions 533. This kind of setting is reasonable and convenient to implement.

[0047] In the second chamber 14 of the present utility model, dental floss used in the market can be placed, that is, the present utility model can place dental floss of different brands, which solves the situation that it cannot be used when changing to different dental floss in the market, has stronger versatility, and can better meet the usage requirements.

[0048] The standard parts used in this application document can all be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part all adopt conventional means such as bolts and screws that are mature in the prior art, and will not be specifically described here.

[0049] It should be noted that although the above-mentioned embodiments have been described in this article, the patent protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereby. Therefore, based on the innovative concept of the present utility model, the changes and modifications made to the embodiments described in this article, or the equivalent structural or equivalent process transformations made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
