[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "width," "thickness," "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," and the like, indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4The present application provides a tissue box 1 with a remaining amount detection function. The tissue box 1 with a remaining amount detection function includes a housing 12 and two cantilevers 13. The housing 12 has an inner chamber 11 formed therein. Each cantilever 13 includes a first end 131 and a second end 132. The first end is connected to the housing 12 and the second end 132 is suspended from the inner chamber 11. The second end 132 is provided with a protrusion 133. The two cantilevers 13 respectively include oppositely disposed side surfaces. The two cantilevers 13 respectively include oppositely disposed first side surfaces 134 and second side surfaces 135, wherein the second side surface 135 is not labeled. The protrusion 133 is provided on the first side 134 and the second side 135. The protrusion 133 is used to support the paper towel 15. The second end 132 is also provided with a remaining amount detection module 14. The remaining amount detection module 14 is spaced apart from the protrusion 133. It can be understood that there is a certain distance between the remaining amount detection module 14 and the protrusion 133. After the protrusion 133 supports the paper towel 15, the user gradually uses the paper towel 15. When the paper towel 15 is consumed to a certain distance from the protrusion 133, the remaining amount detection module 14 detects that the paper towel 15 is almost used up and notifies the user to replace the paper towel 15. It can be understood that the closer the distance between the remaining amount detection module 14 and the protrusion 133, the better. This ensures that the user is notified to replace the paper towel 15 until the paper towel 15 is almost completely consumed, thus avoiding waste of paper towels 15.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present application, the center of the paper towel 15 includes a hollow paper tube 151 (not shown in the figure), and the protrusion 133 extends into the paper tube 151 to support the paper towel 15. The paper towel 15 is a roll of paper, and the roll of paper is wrapped around the outer wall of the paper tube 151 in circles. The protrusion 133 extends into the paper tube 151, and the effect of supporting the paper towel 15 is achieved by supporting the paper tube 151.

[0030] Furthermore, the remaining amount detection module 14 and the protrusion 133 are spaced apart from each other from top to bottom. When the protrusion 133 extends into the paper tube 151, there is a certain distance between the protrusion 133 and the paper tube 151. When the protrusion 133 supports the paper towel 15, there is a certain distance between the protrusion 133 and the paper tube 151 so that the paper towel 15 can rotate around the circumferential direction of the protrusion 133 on the protrusion 133. When the paper towel 15 is stationary, the paper towel 15 above the protrusion 133 is larger than the paper towel 15 on the left and right sides or The paper towel 15 below is closer to the protrusion 133. When the remaining amount detection module 14 and the protrusion 133 are arranged with a gap from top to bottom, that is, the remaining amount detection module 14 is arranged above the protrusion 133, the remaining amount of the paper towel 15 can be detected more accurately. If the remaining amount detection module 14 is arranged on the left or right sides or below the protrusion 133, the remaining amount detection module 14 will mistakenly believe that the distance between the protrusion 133 and the paper roll 151 is also the remaining amount of the paper towel 15 when detecting the remaining amount of the paper towel 15, resulting in a misjudgment of the remaining amount of the paper towel 15.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present application, the second end 132 is provided with a support portion 136, and the remainder detection module 14 and the protrusion 133 are arranged on the side of the support portion 136 away from the side wall of the shell 12. The shell 12 includes left and right side walls, and the remainder detection module 14 and the protrusion 133 are arranged on the side of the support portion 136 away from the left and right side walls of the shell 12.

[0032] Furthermore, the support portion 136 is provided with a groove 137 , and the residual detection module 14 is disposed in the groove 137 . A groove 137 is provided on a side of the support portion 136 away from the left and right side walls of the housing 12 , and the residual detection module 14 is fixedly disposed in the groove 137 .

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, the remaining amount detection module 14 includes a first remaining amount detection sensor 141 and a second remaining amount detection sensor 142. The first remaining amount detection sensor 141 and the second remaining amount detection sensor 142 are arranged from top to bottom. The first remaining amount detection sensor 141 is used to detect the amount of high-position paper towels 15, and the second remaining amount detection sensor 142 is used to detect the remaining amount of low-position paper towels 15. The user can select one of the first remaining amount detection sensor 141 and the second remaining amount detection sensor 142 to provide feedback on the remaining amount of paper towels 15, or select the first remaining amount detection sensor 141 and the second remaining amount detection sensor 142 to provide feedback at the same time. This design can detect the high and low remaining amounts of paper towels 15 at the same time, providing more comprehensive remaining information. The user can freely select any one or both remaining amount detection sensors to provide feedback on the remaining amount of paper towels 15 according to the usage of paper towels 15.

[0034] Furthermore, the first remaining amount detection sensor 141 and the second remaining amount detection sensor 142 are infrared sensors, which can accurately detect the remaining amount of the paper towel 15 and are not affected by light and other environmental factors.

[0035] Furthermore, the first remaining quantity detection sensor 141 and the second remaining quantity detection sensor 142 are spaced apart by more than 5 mm. The setting of more than 5 mm can separate the high and low remaining quantity detection areas, so that the user has a large remaining quantity feedback selection space.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present application, the remaining battery detection module 14 further includes a battery, which is a lithium battery. The lithium battery has high energy density and long life, and can ensure that the remaining battery detection module 14 can operate stably for a long time.

[0037] Furthermore, the lithium battery is arranged inside the residual detection module 14, which can reduce the influence of the lithium battery on the space environment and ensure the long-term stable operation of the residual detection module 14.

[0038] In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "mounted," "connected," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, these terms may refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; internal communication between two components; surface contact only; or surface contact through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] Although the present application is disclosed as above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art may make possible changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application shall be based on the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
