[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation to the present invention.

[0028] The directional terms or positional relationships such as "upper" and "lower" described in the embodiment are based on the drawings in the specification of the utility model. Figure 2 The orientation relationship is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. It does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the content protected by the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 9As shown, this embodiment includes a box body 5, a storage tray 6, a support tray 8, a connecting block 10 and a driving assembly. Operating the driving assembly can make the cotton swabs in the storage tray 6 fall out through the support tray 8, the connecting block 10 and the bottom of the box body 5, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly taking out the cotton swabs.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the box body 5 includes a bottom plate 51, a side plate 52 and a box cover 53. The bottom plate 51 and the side plate 52 are fixedly connected, and the box cover 53 is detachably connected to the side plate 52. The detachable connection here is specifically as follows: Figure 6 As shown, a protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the box cover 53, and a slot is provided on the side panel 52 at a position corresponding to the protrusion. When the box cover 53 is pressed, when the protrusion is engaged with the slot, the box cover 53 is fixed to the side panel 52. Of course, the structure of the protrusion and the slot can also be replaced with any other structure in the prior art that can achieve a detachable connection.

[0031] A fixed shaft 19 is fixed on the bottom plate 51 inside the box body 5. Figure 3 As shown, the axial direction of the fixed shaft 19 is along the upward and downward directions, the receiving plate 6 and the driven gear 15 are rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 19 through the bearing 20, and the supporting plate 8 is fixedly sleeved on the fixed shaft 19.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner ring of the bearing 20 is fixedly sleeved on the fixed shaft 19, and the outer ring of the bearing 20 is fixedly sleeved on the storage tray 6. A plurality of cotton swab storage grooves 7 are arranged at intervals on the storage tray 6. In this embodiment, the plurality of cotton swab storage grooves 7 are arranged in a circular array on the storage tray 6 with the center point of the storage tray 6 as the center. The height of the cotton swab storage groove 7 is equal to the height of the storage tray 6. In other words, the cotton swab storage groove 7 runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the storage tray 6. The length of the cotton swab storage groove 7 is less than the height of the cotton swab. In this embodiment, the length refers to the distance along the radial direction of the storage tray 6; and the height of the storage tray 6 is adapted to the height of the cotton swab. Adaptation here means that the height of the storage tray 6 is greater than or equal to the height of the cotton swab, so that the cotton swab can be placed vertically in the cotton swab storage groove 7. In this embodiment, the height refers to the distance in the upper and lower directions.

[0033] The driving assembly is arranged on the box body 5 and is used to drive the storage tray 6 to rotate. Figure 3 As shown, the driving assembly includes a rotating shaft 13, a driving gear 14 and a driven gear 15 that are meshed with each other.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, the driven gear 15 is coaxially arranged and fixedly connected to the storage tray 6. In this embodiment, the driven gear 15 and the fixed shaft 19 are connected by a bearing 20 to achieve relative rotation. The driven gear 15 is located below the storage tray 6 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tray 6. The driven gear 15 is provided with third slots 12 at positions corresponding to the cotton swab storage slots 7. The number of third slots 12 is also multiple, and the shape and size are the same as the cotton swab storage slots 7. They are also arranged in a circular array on the driven gear 15, and the third slots 12 extend through the upper and lower surfaces of the driven gear 15.

[0035] like Figure 3 、 5 As shown, the rotating shaft 13 is disposed through the side plate 52 and is rotatably connected to the side plate 52 via a bearing (not shown). The end of the rotating shaft 13 extending into the interior of the housing 5 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 14. In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the driving gear 14 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the driven gear 15. The end of the rotating shaft 13 extending from the housing 5 is fixedly provided with a handle 16 for convenient manual operation of the rotating shaft 13.

[0036] The support plate 8 is located in the box body 5. Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the support plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the fixed shaft 19 and is located below the driven gear 15. The size of the support plate 8 is adapted to the size of the storage plate 6. Adaptation here means that the diameter of the support plate 8 is equal to or greater than the length of the cotton swab storage slot 7 on the storage plate 6. This structure can ensure that the bottom of the cotton swab is in contact with the support plate 8, preventing the cotton swab in the cotton swab storage slot 7 from falling into the interior of the box body 5. The distance between the support plate 8 and the storage plate 6 is less than the height of the cotton swab, so that the cotton swab can be placed vertically in the cotton swab storage slot 7. If the distance between the support plate 8 and the storage plate 6 is greater than the height of the cotton swab, the cotton swab may fall on the support plate 8 and will not remain in a vertical state.

[0037] like Figure 4 、 5 As shown, a connecting block 10 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 8, and the bottom of the connecting block 10 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 5, that is, the bottom of the connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 51. In order to smoothly remove the cotton swab, a first slot 9 is opened on the support plate 8, see Figure 5 The shape and size of the first through groove 9 are adapted to the shape and size of the cotton swab storage groove 7. Adaptation here means that the shape of the first through groove 9 is the same as that of the cotton swab storage groove 7, and the size of the first through groove 9 is greater than or equal to the size of the cotton swab storage groove 7, so that the cotton swab can smoothly fall from the third through groove 12 into the first through groove 9. A second through groove 11 is provided on the connecting block 10 at a position corresponding to the first through groove 9. The shape and size of the second through groove 11 are the same as those of the first through groove 9, and the second through groove 11 runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting block 10. Figure 7As shown, an opening 21 is provided at the position corresponding to the second slot 11 at the bottom of the box body 5, that is, an opening 21 is provided at the position corresponding to the second slot 11 on the bottom plate 51, and the size of the opening 21 is adapted to the size of the second slot 11. Adaptation here means that the size of the opening 21 is greater than or equal to the size of the second slot 11, so that the cotton swab in the second slot 11 can fall out of the opening 21.

[0038] It should be supplemented that the lengths of the first through slot 9 , the second through slot 11 , and the third through slot 12 are all smaller than the height of the cotton swab, so that the cotton swab is always in a vertical state when falling.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 5 、 8 As shown in FIG. 9 , a ratchet mechanism is also provided in the housing 5 for realizing unidirectional rotation of the shaft 13. The ratchet mechanism includes a ratchet 17 and a pawl 18. The ratchet 17 is fixedly mounted on the shaft 13, and the pawl 18 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the housing 5. In this embodiment, a pin is fixed on the side plate 52, and the pawl 18 is hinged on the pin. The ratchet mechanism can limit the shaft 13 to only rotate in one direction. Figure 8 The cotton swab storage slot 7 may be rotated to correspond to the first slot 9 multiple times, and the operator may not know whether there are cotton swabs in other cotton swab storage slots 7. The operator needs to keep rotating the shaft 13, which wastes the operator's time.

[0040] When using this embodiment, a cotton swab is placed vertically with the cotton swab head facing upward into the cotton swab storage slot 7. At this time, the bottom of the cotton swab is in contact with the support plate 8. The box cover 53 is closed and the handle 16 is rotated. The driving gear 14 rotates to drive the driven gear 15, the storage plate 6 and the cotton swab to rotate together. When it rotates to one of the third slots 12 corresponding to the first slot 9, the cotton swab in the third slot 12 falls into the first slot 9, and then falls into the hand of the operator through the second slot 11 and the opening 21. At this time, the end of the cotton swab that is not the cotton swab head is in contact with the hand, preventing the hand from contaminating the cotton swab head.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cotton swabs are stored in the box body 5, which can prevent the dust in the environment from contaminating the cotton swab heads. During operation, the handle 16 is turned and the cotton swabs will fall out from the opening 21, making it more convenient and quick to take. In addition, the number of cotton swab storage slots 7 can be opened according to actual needs, and the number of cotton swabs in the cotton swab storage slots 7 can also be placed according to actual needs. For example, when only one cotton swab is needed each time, one cotton swab is placed in each cotton swab storage slot 7, and only one cotton swab will fall out from the opening 21 each time; when three cotton swabs are needed each time, three cotton swabs are placed in each cotton swab storage slot 7, and three cotton swabs will fall out from the opening 21 at a time.

[0042] It should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
