[0035] The following examples are provided to further explain and supplement the present invention and do not constitute any limitation to the present invention.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the electric toothpick box device of the present invention includes a box body 10, a lifting mechanism 20 and a driving mechanism 30.

[0037] The box body 10 is provided with a toothpick outlet 11 for ejecting the toothpick 40 from the lifting mechanism 20. A dust cover 12 is provided at the toothpick outlet 11. The dust cover 12 covers the toothpick outlet 11 to prevent dust. The dust cover 12 is rotatably connected to the box body 10 and can open or close the toothpick outlet 11.

[0038] The lifting mechanism 20 is used to push the toothpick 40 from the interior of the box body 10 through the toothpick outlet 11 to the outside of the box body 10. A pushing portion 211 and a limiting portion 212 are provided at the top of the lifting mechanism 20. A toothpick slot 213 for accommodating the toothpick 40 is formed between the pushing portion 211 and the limiting portion 212. The pushing portion 211 and the limiting portion 212 can have any shape; they are protruding and spaced apart from each other. The pushing portion 211 and the limiting portion 212 can be arranged relative to each other or staggered, thereby limiting the position of the toothpick 40.

[0039] The driving mechanism 30 is disposed in the box body 10 and is used to drive the lifting mechanism 20 to move along the lifting direction X.

[0040] When the lifting mechanism 20 moves in the direction of the toothpick outlet 11 under the drive of the driving mechanism 30, the pushing portion 211 can push the dust cover 12 to open. In this process, the dust cover 12 is pushed open by the lifting of the lifting mechanism 20 to achieve the opening of the dust cover 12. After the dust cover 12 is opened, the dust cover 12 touches the side of the lifting mechanism 20. When the lifting mechanism 20 is ejected, the toothpick slot 213 at its top will bring out the toothpick 40 for the user to take. Since the dust cover 12 does not intersect with the top of the ejection mechanism, it is not easy for the user to touch the dust cover 12 when taking the toothpick 40, thereby avoiding contamination of the dust cover 12 and ensuring cleanliness.

[0041] Furthermore, to facilitate opening the dust cover 12 by pushing the top of the lifting mechanism 20, a tilted pushing surface 2111 is provided on the side of the pushing portion 211 facing the dust cover 12. The tilted pushing surface 2111 is inclined relative to the lifting direction X of the lifting mechanism 20, away from the dust cover 12. Thus, when the lifting mechanism 20 is lifted along the lifting direction X, the tilted pushing surface 2111 can act on the inner side of the dust cover 12 to push the dust cover 12 open.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to achieve automatic closing of the dust cover 12, an elastic member 13 is provided between the dust cover 12 and the box body 10. When the dust cover 12 is opened, the elastic member 13 always has a tendency to drive the dust cover 12 to rotate toward the toothpick outlet 11 to cover the toothpick outlet 11. In other words, when the dust cover 12 is opened, the elastic member 13 provides an elastic restoring force, so that the dust cover 12 is subjected to a certain force. When the lifting mechanism 20 retreats in the direction of the toothpick outlet 11, the dust cover 12 automatically rotates under the action of the elastic force and covers the toothpick outlet 11. In addition, the elastic force provided by the elastic member 13 can also make the dust cover 12 always rest against the side wall of the lifting mechanism 20, and will not flip over and fall to the other side, which is also more conducive to the automatic closing of the dust cover 12.

[0043] The elastic member 13 may be a spring or any elastic component.

[0044] In this embodiment, the elastic member 13 is an elastic ring structure, which can be made of silicone material. A protruding first connecting column 121 is provided on the side of the dust cover 12 facing the lifting mechanism 20, and a first fastener 122 is connected to the inner thread of the first connecting column 121. Correspondingly, a protruding second connecting column 141 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 10, and a second fastener 142 is connected to the inner thread of the second connecting column 141. One end of the elastic member 13 is sleeved on the first fastener 122 and is located between the first fastener 122 and the first connecting column 121. The other end of the elastic member 13 is sleeved on the second fastener 142 and is located between the second fastener 142 and the second connecting column 141. When the dust cover 12 is closed on the toothpick outlet 11, the elastic member 13 is in a natural length or slightly tightened state. When the dust cover 12 is opened under the lifting of the lifting mechanism 20 , the elastic member 13 is stretched and has elastic force, thereby constantly driving the dust cover 12 to rotate toward the toothpick outlet 11 .

[0045] Furthermore, to facilitate installation and use, the box body 10 includes a base body 15 and a cover plate 14 .

[0046] The base body 15 is provided with a storage cavity 16 for storing toothpicks 40 , and the cover 14 covers the opening of the storage cavity 16 and is connected to the base body 15 . The cover 14 can be opened or closed relative to the storage cavity 16 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the storage cavity 16 opens upward, and the cover plate 14 is rotatably connected to the base body 15 .

[0048] Furthermore, to achieve a rotatable connection between the cover 14 and the base body 15, first rotational axles 143 are provided at opposite ends of the cover 14. Corresponding first rotational axle holes are provided in the base body 15, and the first rotational axle portions 143 engage within the first rotational axle holes. The cover 14 can rotate about the first rotational axle portions 143, thereby opening and closing the storage chamber 16.

[0049] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the cover 14, a first notch 144 is provided at a position of the cover 14 close to the first shaft portion 143. The first notch 144 is strip-shaped, which makes the two ends of the cover 14 have a certain elasticity and the first shaft portion 143 can be installed into the first shaft hole by extrusion.

[0050] Furthermore, the toothpick outlet 11 is provided on the cover plate 14 , and the dustproof cover plate 12 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 14 . The second connecting post 141 is protrudingly provided on the inner surface of the cover plate 14 .

[0051] Furthermore, to facilitate installation of the dust cover 12 on the cover 14, a groove 145 is provided on the cover 14, and the groove 145 is connected to the toothpick outlet 11. The dust cover 12 includes a first plate portion 123 and a second plate portion 124. Second rotation shaft portions 125 are provided at both ends of the first plate portion 123, and a second rotation shaft hole 146 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 145. The second rotation shaft portion 125 fits within the second rotation shaft hole 146. When the dust cover 12 is closed over the toothpick outlet 11, the first plate portion 123 is embedded in the groove 145, and the second plate portion 124 covers the toothpick outlet 11. The dust cover 12 is flush with the surface of the cover 14, thereby improving the appearance and preventing the dust cover 12 from falling into the storage cavity 16.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation of the dust cover 12, a second notch 126 is provided at a position of the dust cover 12 close to the second rotating shaft. The second notch 126 is strip-shaped, which makes the two ends of the dust cover 12 have a certain elasticity and the second rotating shaft portion 125 can be installed into the second rotating shaft hole 146 by extrusion.

[0053] Furthermore, to facilitate installation of the lifting mechanism 20 and the drive mechanism 30, a mounting cavity 17 is provided within the base body 15. The mounting cavity 17 communicates with the storage cavity 16 via a first opening 18. The first opening 18 corresponds to the position of the toothpick outlet 11, and the line connecting the first opening 18 defines the lifting direction X.

[0054] In this embodiment, the installation cavity 17 and storage cavity 16 are isolated from each other, with the installation cavity 17 opening downward and the storage cavity 16 opening upward. To facilitate the automatic drop of the toothpicks 40 into the top of the lifting mechanism 20, the storage cavity 16 has a symmetrical or asymmetrical V-shaped cross-section, wherein the first through hole 18 is located at the lowest position of the storage cavity 16. In this way, the toothpicks 40 in the storage cavity 16 will automatically slide downward under the action of gravity, so that the toothpicks 40 can always fall to the height of the first through hole 18 and can then be removed by the lifting mechanism 20.

[0055] The lifting mechanism 20 includes a push plate 21, with a stopper 212 and a pushing portion 211 disposed on its top. The bottom of the push plate 21 is positioned within the mounting cavity 17, while its top passes through the first opening 18 and is positioned within the storage cavity 16. The push plate 21 is movable along a lifting direction X toward the toothpick outlet 11. When the push plate 21 is in its lowest position, its top is positioned within the first opening 18, allowing the toothpicks 40 in the storage cavity 16 to accumulate on top of the push plate 21. Because the toothpick slot 213 is located on the top of the push plate 21, there is always a toothpick 40 in the slot 213. When the push plate 21 is extended toward the toothpick outlet 11, the toothpicks 40 in the slot 213 are removed, while the remaining toothpicks 40 slide to the sides of the push plate 21 and remain stored in the storage cavity 16.

[0056] Furthermore, to drive the push plate 21 along the lifting direction X, the drive mechanism 30 includes a drive motor and a main gear located at the output end of the drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor is perpendicular to the lifting direction X. Accordingly, a passage slot 214 extending along the lifting direction X is provided on the push plate 21. A spur gear portion 215 is provided on the sidewall of the passage slot 214, which meshes with the main gear. The main gear is located in the passage slot 214 and meshes with the spur gear portion 215. When the drive motor is operating, the main gear rotates and meshes with the spur gear portion 215. Therefore, the engagement between the main gear and the spur gear portion 215 drives the push plate 21 to move along the lifting direction X. The forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor drives the push plate 21 to eject and retract, thereby automatically ejecting the toothpicks 40. After automatic ejection, the lifting mechanism 20 can automatically retract.

[0057] In order to ensure that the push plate 21 does not shake when moving along the lifting direction X, a support seat 19 and a restraining member 22 are provided in the base body 15 . The restraining member 22 is a part of the lifting mechanism 20 .

[0058] The support seat 19 is disposed in the mounting cavity 17 and fixedly connected to the base body 15. In this embodiment, a plurality of third connecting columns 1511 arranged along the lifting direction X are provided on the back side of the storage cavity 16. The support seat 19 is connected to the third connecting columns 1511 by screws, thereby being fixedly mounted on the base body 15. A second through hole 192 is provided on the support seat 19. The position of the second through hole 192 is opposite to the position of the first through hole 18 and the toothpick outlet 11. Elastic portions 193 are provided at both ends of the second through hole 192. One end of the elastic portion 193 is connected to the support seat 19, and the other end is bent into a free end and is spaced apart from the other end of the elastic portion 193, thereby providing elasticity. The elastic portion 193 is integrally formed or fixedly connected to the support seat 19. In this embodiment, it is preferably integrally formed. The free end of the elastic portion 193 is located in the second through hole 192 and is spaced apart from the inner wall of the second through hole 192. The free end of the elastic portion 193 can be elastically squeezed along the other end of the elastic portion 193 , and can elastically and adaptably support the restraining member 22 .

[0059] The restraining member 22 is used to restrain the push plate 21 from moving in a straight line, and to solve the processing accuracy problem of the push plate 21, so as to ensure that the push plate 21 can be easily processed and can move along the lifting direction X without shaking due to processing accuracy and assembly accuracy problems.

[0060] The push plate 21 is inserted into the second opening 192. The restraining member 22 is disposed between the elastic portion 193 and both ends of the push plate 21. The restraining member 22 extends along the lifting direction X. Both ends of the push plate 21 engage with the restraining member 22, and the push plate 21 is movable relative to the restraining member 22 along the lifting direction X. The elasticity provided by the elastic portion 193 braces the restraining member 22, ensuring a tight fit between the restraining member 22 and the push plate 21, thereby ensuring that the push plate 21 does not wobble when moving along the lifting direction X. Furthermore, the adaptive tightening provided by the elastic portion 193 can reduce the machining accuracy of the structure, further facilitating industrial processing and production.

[0061] Furthermore, a positioning portion 194 is provided on the support seat 19. The positioning portion 194 is spaced a certain distance from the free end of the elastic portion 193 to form a slot hole 195. The restraint member 22 is inserted into the slot hole 195 and matches the shape of the positioning portion 194. The elastic portion 193 always has a tendency to drive the restraint member 22 to fit closely with the positioning portion 194. During installation, it is sufficient to insert the restraint member 22 into the slot hole 195. Under the elastic action of the elastic portion 193, the restraint member 22 can match the shape of the positioning portion 194 well, thereby providing a stable limiting restraint effect for the push plate 21, ensuring that the push plate 21 moves linearly along the lifting direction X without shaking.

[0062] To ensure that the restraining member 22 is fully inserted, a protruding flange 221 is provided on the outer wall of the restraining member 22. When the restraining member 22 is inserted into the slot 195, when the flange 221 abuts against the support seat 19, the restraining member 22 is fully inserted. At this point, due to the restriction of the flange 221, the restraining member 22 cannot be inserted further.

[0063] When the restraining member 22 is inserted into place, the two ends of the restraining member 22 along the lifting direction X are respectively located on both sides of the second through hole 192, and it has a certain height, thereby providing support for the movement of the push plate 21 and ensuring that the push plate 21 moves in a straight line.

[0064] Furthermore, the inner sides of the restraining members 22 are provided with sliding grooves 222 extending along the lifting direction X. The two ends of the push plate 21 are respectively fitted into the sliding grooves 222. Through the guiding fit of the sliding grooves 222, the push plate 21 can be better constrained to move along a straight line.

[0065] Furthermore, to limit the upward movement of the push plate 21, a restricting portion 216 is provided at the bottom of the push plate 21. The restricting portion 216 protrudes from the side surface of the push plate 21 and cannot pass through the second opening 192. When the push plate 21 is ejected toward the toothpick outlet 11, the restricting portion 212 interferes with the support seat 19, causing the push plate 21 to be ejected into position and unable to be ejected further upward. The restricting portion 216 prevents the push plate 21 from moving upward without restriction and serves to limit its movement.

[0066] The driving motor is fixedly mounted on the supporting base 19 and can be fixed in a known manner, for example, by screws.

[0067] Furthermore, the support base 19 is provided with a plurality of connecting legs 196 extending in the lifting direction X. A first hook 197 is provided at the free end of each of the connecting legs 196. Correspondingly, the base body 15 is provided with a plurality of protruding support legs 1521 extending in the lifting direction X. A second hook 1522 is provided at the free end of each support leg 1521. The first hook 197 and the second hook 1522 are hooked together. The hooked connection between the support legs 1521 and the connecting legs 196 greatly simplifies the installation of the support base 19.

[0068] Furthermore, a first inclined surface 198 is provided on the first hook portion 197, and a second inclined surface 1523 is provided on the second hook portion 1522. When the support leg portion 1521 and the connecting leg portion 196 are assembled along the lifting direction X, the first inclined surface 198 and the second inclined surface 1523 abut against and squeeze each other, causing the connecting leg and / or the support leg 1521 to elastically slide in a direction perpendicular to the lifting direction X, thereby hooking the first hook portion 197 and the second hook portion 1522 together. Installation in this manner requires only inserting the support base 19 toward the support leg 1521 and then screwing the support base 19 to the third connecting column 1511. This greatly simplifies the installation of the support base 19 and reduces material usage. Furthermore, by arranging the support base 19 in this manner, the support base 19 is easily disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating the inspection, replacement, and updating of the internal structure, thereby greatly improving the product's versatility in production and processing.

[0069] Furthermore, the base body 15 includes a base 151 and a bottom plate 152, which are connected in a mate manner. The base 151 is provided with the storage cavity 16 and the installation cavity 17, and the bottom plate 152 is connected in a mate manner to the opening of the installation cavity 17. The support leg 1521 is protruded from the bottom plate 152.

[0070] Furthermore, a sensor 50 is provided on the base body 15 and is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 30. When the sensor 50 detects a user action, the drive motor begins operating, driving the lifting mechanism 20 toward the toothpick outlet 11 through the cooperation of the main gear and the spur gear portion 215, thereby automatically pushing open the dust cover 12 and automatically ejecting the toothpick 40. The sensor 50 can be configured as an infrared sensor, and its electrical connection to the drive mechanism 30 can refer to known techniques.

[0071] Furthermore, to power the drive motor and the sensor 50, a battery is provided in the base body 15. The battery is electrically connected to the drive motor and the sensor 50. In this embodiment, a battery compartment 1524 is provided on the bottom plate 152, and the battery is disposed in the battery compartment 1524.

[0072] Although the present invention is disclosed through the above embodiments, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above components can be replaced with similar or equivalent elements known to those skilled in the art.
