The use of the words "first," "second," and "third" is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1-10 , an embodiment of a dental braces disinfection box of the present invention is further described in detail.
[0036] A dental braces disinfection box, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, it includes a box body 1 for accommodating braces, a box cover 2 adapted to the box body 1, a guide assembly 3 for guiding the box cover 2 to slide on the box body 1, and a limit assembly 4 for limiting the sliding stroke of the box cover 2. The box cover 2 is provided with a plurality of hollow grooves 211 in parallel near the middle position, and the limit assembly 4 passes through the hollow grooves 211 and is respectively connected between the box body 1 and the box cover 2; the bottom end of the box cover 2 is located on both sides of the hollow groove 211 and a guide groove 212 is also provided, the guide assembly 3 includes a first guide slider 31 and a second guide slider 32, the first guide slider 31 is arranged on the box body 1 corresponding to the position of the guide groove 212, the second guide slider 32 is arranged on the limit assembly 4 and contacts the box cover 2, the first guide slider 31 and the second guide slider 32 are both hemispherical structures, and a plurality of first guide sliders 31 and the second guide slider 32 are provided, and the plurality of first guide sliders 31 and the second guide slider 32 are respectively arranged in a straight line and distributed in the guide groove 212 and the hollow groove 211 and maintain contact with the box cover 2.
[0037] Specifically, in order to make the box cover 2 slide smoothly on the box body 1, a guide groove 212 is opened on the box cover 2, and a first guide slider 31 is provided on the box body 1 at the position corresponding to the guide groove 212; the first guide slider 31 adopts a semi-spherical structure, which not only makes the sliding of the box cover 2 relative to the guide surface smoother, but also further reduces the friction noise; at the same time, the semi-spherical shape of the first guide slider 31 is used to maintain spherical contact with the guide groove 212, thereby reducing the friction between the first guide slider 31 and the guide groove 212, thereby eliminating the lubricating film and reducing production costs; in addition, by providing a second guide slider 32 between the positioning component and the hollow groove 211, the second guide slider 32 maintains contact with the guide groove 212, so that in the process of the positioning component following the sliding, the problem of shaking during the sliding process of the box cover 2 is effectively avoided, thereby further improving the accuracy and stability of the guidance.
[0038] It is worth mentioning that Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the hollow groove 211 in the present invention is composed of a bottom surface for sliding, a hollow hole groove, and a side surface in contact with the second guide slider 32. The bottom structure formed by the bottom surface and the side surface can be consistent with the spherical shape of the second guide slider 32. During the sliding of the box cover 2, the positioning component, with the cooperation of the second slider and the hollow groove 211, always controls the box cover 2 to slide along the direction of the hollow groove 211, and reduces the friction during the sliding process through the second guide slider 32, effectively avoiding the problem of shaking, and further improving the stability of the sliding process of the box cover 2.
[0039] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 、 3As shown, the limiting assembly 4 includes a limiting plate 41, a limiting column 42 and a connecting tube 43. The four corners of the limiting plate 41 have guide fulcrums 411 protruding outward, and the guide fulcrums 411 and the limiting plate 41 are an integrally formed structure; the limiting columns 42 are distributed in an array at the bottom end of the limiting plate 41, and the limiting columns 42 are cooperatively connected with the connecting tube 43; the interior of the connecting tube 43 is a hollow structure, and the connecting tube 43 is fixedly connected to the box body 1.
[0040] Specifically, when the box cover 2 slides under the action of the guide assembly 3, in order to avoid affecting the positioning assembly, the hollow groove 211 is used to move along the positioning assembly. In order to maintain stability during the movement, a guide fulcrum 411 is set at the position where the limit plate 41 contacts the hollow groove 211. The guide fulcrum 411 maintains point contact with the side of the hollow groove 211, thereby maintaining the stability of the sliding process and minimizing friction and noise. At the same time, in order to limit the maximum sliding distance of the box cover 2, the bottom end of the limit plate 41 passes through the hollow groove 211 through the limit column 42 and is connected to the connecting tube 43, so that the limit plate 41 is fixedly connected to the box body 1, thereby ensuring that the maximum sliding distance of the box cover 2 can be limited when sliding.
[0041] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 、 8 As shown, the box cover 2 includes a bottom plate 21 and a cover 22 . The hollow groove 211 and the guide groove 212 are both distributed on the bottom plate 21 , and the bottom plate 21 is provided with buffer pads 5 at both ends of the hollow groove 211 ; the cover 22 covers the bottom plate 21 .
[0042] Specifically, the buffer pad 5 can effectively buffer the collision between the positioning plate and the box cover 2 when it slides to the extreme positions at both ends, reduce the collision sound when the upper box cover 2 is opened and closed to the two end positions, and further reduce the friction noise of the opening and closing of the upper box cover 2; wherein, the buffer pad 5 is made of a flexible material, such as rubber or silicone, and multiple buffer pads 5 are respectively arranged at both ends of the box cover 2, and the multiple buffer pads 5 are equidistantly distributed.
[0043] In order to further improve the strength of the box cover 2, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 6 are distributed circumferentially on the bottom plate 21. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 6 are connected end to end to the baffle 7, and the top ends of the reinforcing ribs 6 are connected to the cover 22, so that the reinforcing ribs 6 are surrounded to form a mesh structure; the layout of the reinforcing ribs 6 is similar to the shape of a spider web. Such a structure can further improve the connection between the bottom plate 21 and the cover, strengthen the strength of the box cover 2, and improve the service life of the box cover 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, baffles 7 are further provided on both sides of the hollow groove 211 of the bottom plate 21 , and the side walls of the baffles 7 abut against the guide fulcrum 411 .
[0045] Specifically, the purpose of providing the baffle 7 is to increase the contact area with the guide fulcrum 411 to avoid the problem of the box cover 2 being offset during the sliding process, thereby improving the stability of the box cover 2 during sliding.
[0046] In this embodiment, one end of the sealing cover 22 is further provided with a convex strip 8 for pushing the box cover 2 to slide, and the convex strip 8 is an arc structure.
[0047] Specifically, the convex strips 8 are used to quickly identify the sliding direction of the box cover 2 on the one hand, and to transmit the force during sliding on the other hand. When opening the box cover 2, it is only necessary to gently push the convex strips 8 with your hand, so that the box cover 2 moves along the guide grooves 212 and the hollow grooves 211 under the action of the guide assembly 3 and the positioning assembly.
[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 9 、 10 As shown, a hollow cavity is provided in the box body 1, and the hollow cavity is separated by a blocking wall 13 to form a receiving cavity 11 for accommodating braces and an inner cavity 12 for installing the ultraviolet lamp disinfection module 9, and the receiving cavity 11 and the inner cavity 12 are crescent-shaped structures.
[0049] Specifically, the accommodating cavity 11 in the box body 1 is used to place braces and is adapted to the crescent shape of the braces. At the same time, a lamp hole 131 connecting the accommodating cavity 11 and the inner cavity 12 is opened on the blocking wall 13. The ultraviolet lamp disinfection module 9 in the inner cavity 12 can disinfect and sterilize the braces in the accommodating cavity 11 through the lamp hole 131, thereby facilitating the sterilization of the braces.
[0050] In order to facilitate charging of the braces disinfection box, a charging interface 10 for charging the ultraviolet disinfection lamp module 9 is provided on the outer surface of the box body 1. The charging interface 10 can be a USB interface or a type-c interface.
[0051] The working principle of this utility model:
[0052] When opening the dental braces disinfection box, by pressing the ridge 8 on the box cover 2 with your hand and pushing the box cover 2 along the other end, the box cover 2 moves forward along the guide groove 212 under the action of the guide assembly 3, and when it moves to the end of the guide groove 212, it stops sliding under the limiting action of the positioning assembly, thereby completing the opening of the box cover 2, and placing the dental braces into the accommodating cavity 11. The ultraviolet lamp disinfection module 9 in the inner cavity 12 will emit ultraviolet rays through the lamp hole 131 to sterilize and disinfect the dental braces. After the disinfection work is completed, the dental braces can be taken out and worn. The sliding guide structure of the dental braces disinfection box of the present invention is changed to use two semi-spherical guide blocks for transmission, so that the sliding resistance between the guide assembly 3 and the guide groove 212 is smaller, and shaking during the sliding process can be avoided; at the same time, the contact between the guide assembly 3 and the guide groove 212 is changed to spherical contact, so that the sliding contact area is smaller and the guidance is more precise.
[0053] The examples of this specific embodiment are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application.
