[0002] In a medical environment, proper storage and convenient access to medical cotton swabs are crucial; existing medical cotton swab boxes have some problems in use.
[0003] For example: the discharge method is difficult to control, which often leads to too much or too little discharge at one time, unable to meet the needs of quantitative extraction, resulting in waste of resources or inconvenience in use; in terms of storage, since the humidity in the box cannot be effectively controlled, the cotton swabs are easily affected by moisture, thereby increasing the risk of bacterial growth and deterioration, affecting their use effect and safety.
[0004] For this reason, we propose a medical cotton swab box that is easy to use. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a medical cotton swab box that is easy to use, in order to prevent the waste of resources and inconvenience caused by excessive or insufficient discharge, thereby improving the accuracy and convenience of cotton swab removal and realizing quantitative discharge; in order to prevent the problem of uncontrolled humidity in the box causing the cotton swabs to get damp, thereby improving the storage quality of the cotton swabs, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and deterioration, ensuring its use effect and safety, and effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0007] A medical cotton swab box that is easy to take out includes a box body, wherein a material storage chamber and an installation chamber are respectively provided inside the box body, a material inlet is provided at the top of the box body and located above the material storage chamber, a partition is fixedly connected inside the box body and located between the material storage chamber and the installation chamber, a plurality of through holes are evenly distributed on the partition, the material storage chamber and the installation chamber are connected through the through holes, a drawer box is slidably connected to the interior of the installation chamber, and a desiccant is provided inside the drawer box;
[0008] A discharge barrel is provided at the lower part of one end of the box body, a discharge port is provided on the outer side of the discharge barrel away from the box body, a discharge port is provided at the bottom end of the storage cavity and at the top end of the discharge barrel, a rotating column is rotatably connected to the inside of the discharge barrel, a discharge trough adapted to the discharge port is provided on the outer side of the rotating column, a first visual window is provided at one end of the discharge barrel, a stop of the rotating column is fixedly connected to a rotating knob, and one end of the rotating knob passes through the first visual window and extends to the outside;
[0009] A limiting groove is provided in the middle of the outer side of the rotating column, and a groove is provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the discharge barrel. A limiting ball that can be inserted into the limiting groove is provided in the groove, and the bottom end of the limiting ball is connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the groove through a spring.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating column is rotated by rotating the knob. Due to the presence of the limiting groove in the middle part of the outer side of the rotating column, when the limiting ball in the groove of the lower barrel is inserted into the limiting groove under the action of the spring, the rotating column will be temporarily limited and fixed. At this time, the discharge trough is exactly aligned with the discharge port. Under the action of gravity, the cotton swab in the storage chamber falls into the discharge trough through the discharge port under the action of gravity. The user can observe the rotation of the rotating column through the first viewing window to ensure that the discharge trough is accurately aligned with the discharge port.
[0011] The cotton swabs in the storage chamber can be replenished through the feed port. The evenly distributed through holes on the partition allow the storage chamber to communicate with the installation chamber. The desiccant in the drawer box absorbs moisture from the air in the storage chamber through the through holes, keeping the environment in the storage chamber dry and extending the shelf life of the cotton swabs.
[0012] After there is a cotton swab in the discharge chute, the cotton swab can be taken out from the discharge port on the outside of the discharge barrel.
[0013] Furthermore, the rotating column is a horizontally arranged cylindrical structure, and the discharge troughs and the limiting grooves are arranged in a plurality of groups in a circular array of the rotating column, and the limiting grooves are located between adjacent discharge troughs.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotary knob is turned to drive the rotating column to rotate, as the rotating column rotates, the discharge slots at different positions are aligned with the discharge port in turn. During the rotation process, when a discharge slot is about to be aligned with the discharge port, the limit slot located between the adjacent discharge slots will first pass through the position of the groove; at this time, the limit ball in the groove will be inserted into the limit slot under the action of the spring, thereby temporarily limiting and fixing the rotating column, ensuring that the current discharge slot can be accurately and stably aligned with the discharge port, so that the cotton swabs in the storage chamber can fall smoothly into the discharge slot. When the discharge slot is full of cotton swabs, continue to rotate the rotating column to align the next empty discharge slot with the discharge port for loading, and repeat this cycle to achieve an orderly and quantitative cotton swab discharge process.
[0015] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly installed on the middle part of the side of the drawer box away from the discharge barrel.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the desiccant in the drawer box needs to be replaced or replenished, the user can easily pull the drawer box out of the installation cavity by holding the handle. The handle is located in the middle of the side of the drawer box away from the discharge barrel. It conforms to the ergonomic design, making the action of pulling the drawer box more natural and convenient, thereby improving the comfort and efficiency of operation.
[0017] Furthermore, a box cover is rotatably connected to the interior of the feed port, and a first shifting block is provided on the top of the box cover.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the lid provided at the feed inlet is used to seal the feed inlet, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the storage chamber, ensuring the cleanliness of the cotton swabs. The lid is rotatably connected to the feed inlet, making opening and closing operations more convenient. The first shifting block provided on the top of the lid allows the user to rotate the lid by shifting the first shifting block, increasing the convenience and flexibility of operation, eliminating the need to laboriously find a point of force to open the lid.
[0019] Furthermore, a cylinder cover is rotatably connected to the inside of the discharge port, and a second shifting block is provided on the outside of the cylinder cover.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the discharge port is closed when the cotton swab is not being used, preventing external pollutants from entering the inside of the discharge barrel, thereby ensuring the hygiene of the cotton swab to be taken out. By turning the second dial block, the barrel cover can be easily rotated to open or close the discharge port, making the operation of taking the cotton swab more convenient and controllable.
[0021] Furthermore, second visual windows are provided on the upper parts of both sides of the box body and located at the position of the material storage cavity.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the remaining number of cotton swabs can be quickly understood from the outside through the second visual window without opening the box cover or performing other complicated operations, so as to replenish them in time and ensure continuity of use.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] (1) The utility model provides a medical cotton swab box that is easy to take out. Through the coordinated design of a rotating column, a discharge trough, a limiting groove, a limiting ball and a spring, the orderly quantitative discharge of cotton swabs is realized.

One end of the rotary knob 12 passes through the first visual window 13 and extends to the outside.
[0033] A limiting groove 14 is provided in the middle of the outer side of the rotating column 9, and a groove 16 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the discharge barrel 8. A limiting ball 15 is provided in the groove 16 and can be inserted into the limiting groove 14. The bottom end of the limiting ball 15 is connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the groove 16 through a spring 17.
[0034] During use, the rotating column 9 is rotated by rotating the knob 12. Due to the presence of the limiting groove 14 in the middle of the outer side of the rotating column 9, when the limiting ball 15 in the groove 16 of the lower barrel 8 is inserted into the limiting groove 14 under the action of the spring 17, the rotating column 9 will be temporarily limited and fixed. At this time, the discharge trough 11 is just aligned with the discharge port 10. Under the action of gravity, the cotton swab in the storage chamber 2 falls into the discharge trough 11 through the discharge port 10. The user can observe the rotation of the rotating column 9 through the first viewing window 13 to ensure that the discharge trough 11 is accurately aligned with the discharge port 10.
[0035] The cotton swabs in the storage chamber 2 can be replenished through the feed port 18. The evenly distributed through holes 5 on the partition 4 allow the storage chamber 2 to communicate with the installation chamber 3. The desiccant 7 in the drawer box 6 absorbs moisture from the air in the storage chamber 2 through the through holes 5, keeping the environment in the storage chamber 2 dry and extending the shelf life of the cotton swabs.
[0036] After there are cotton swabs in the discharge trough 11 , the cotton swabs can be taken out from the discharge port 21 outside the discharge barrel 8 .
