[0002] The emergence of dental floss on the market can be described as a new revolution in teeth cleaning methods. Thousands of people have benefited greatly from it, relieving them of dental problems, maintaining periodontal health, and reducing other diseases caused by dental diseases.
[0003] In daily life, users' hands frequently come into contact with various items, and inevitably become contaminated with oil, bacteria, and other dirt during meals. When a traditional dental floss pick box is opened and people reach in to take floss picks, there is a high chance that the oil and other dirt on their hands will adhere to the floss picks, easily contaminating the entire box. This means that the dental floss picks, originally intended for cleaning the mouth, can actually introduce dirt and bacteria into the mouth, not only failing to achieve the purpose of cleaning the mouth but also potentially having a negative impact on oral health. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a push-button dental floss pick holder, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art that when a traditional dental floss pick holder is opened and people reach into it to take out dental floss picks, there is a high probability that oil and other dirt from their hands will adhere to the dental floss picks, easily contaminating the entire box of dental floss picks.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a press-type dental floss pick holder, comprising a base box and dental floss picks. A movable plate is slidably disposed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the base box. A push plate is fixed to the top of the movable plate. The push plate is elongated and its height is the same as the height of the dental floss picks. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. The connecting plate is slidably mounted on a sliding rod. The sliding rod is fixedly mounted in a sliding groove. The sliding groove is located in the middle of the bottom of the base box. A spring is installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove. The sliding rod is disposed in the middle of the spring. The spring is connected to the connecting plate. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate opposite to the movable plate. The sliding plate is disposed on the outside of the base box and has anti-slip texture.
[0006] Preferably, one end of the base box has a through hole, and the end of the movable plate near the through hole is rotatably connected to a rotating plate. The width of the movable plate and the width of the rotating plate are both adapted to the through hole, and the cross-section of the rotating plate is L-shaped.
[0007] Preferably, a top cover is installed on the top of the base box, and a limiting rod is fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of the top cover, the limiting rod fitting against the periphery of the dental floss stick.
[0008] Preferably, when the top cover and the bottom box are closed, the bottom end of the limiting rod is horizontal to the top end of the push plate, and the distance between the limiting rod and the moving plate is the same as the height of the dental floss stick.
[0009] Preferably, a pressure plate is slidably mounted on the limiting rod, a second spring is installed on the top of the pressure plate, the limiting rod is located in the middle of the second spring, and the pressure plate is connected to the top cover through the second spring.
[0010] This utility model provides a push-button dental floss pick holder. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] (1) By setting up structures such as a movable plate and a push plate, the floss picks are pushed out by pushing the outer sliding plate, which effectively prevents oil, bacteria and other dirt from the hands from getting on the floss picks inside the floss box, thus ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the floss picks.
[0012] (2) By setting a pressure plate and a second spring, this utility model can push the remaining dental floss sticks to move automatically along the limiting rod after some dental floss sticks are taken out of the dental floss box, and cause one of the dental floss sticks to fit into the moving plate.
[0013] This solves the problem that when a traditional dental floss pick box is opened and you reach in to take out the floss picks, there is a high chance that oil and other dirt from your hands will adhere to the floss picks, easily contaminating the entire box of floss picks.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 A push-type dental floss pick holder includes a base box 1 and dental floss picks 3. A movable plate 11 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the base box 1. A push plate 111 is fixed at the top of the movable plate 11. The push plate 111 is elongated and its height is the same as that of the dental floss picks 3. A connecting plate 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 11. The connecting plate 112 is slidably mounted on a slide rod 121. The slide rod 121 is fixedly mounted in a sliding groove 12. The sliding groove 12 is opened in the middle of the bottom of the base box 1. A spring 122 is installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove 12. The slide rod 121 is located in the middle of the spring 122. The spring 122 is connected to the connecting plate 112. A sliding plate 113 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 112 away from the movable plate 11. The sliding plate 113 is located on the outside of the base box 1 and has anti-slip texture.
[0022] One end of the base box 1 has a through hole, and the end of the movable plate 11 near the through hole is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 13. The width of the movable plate 11 and the width of the rotating plate 13 are both adapted to the through hole, and the cross section of the rotating plate 13 is L-shaped.
[0023] Specifically, when the user needs to use the dental floss pick 3, the user pushes the slide plate 113 located on the outside of the bottom box 1. Since the slide plate 113 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 112, the movement of the slide plate 113 will cause the connecting plate 112 to move together. The connecting plate 112 is slidably mounted on the slide rod 121, and its movement will cause the moving plate 11, which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 112, to slide at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bottom box 1. The push plate 111 fixed at the top of the moving plate 11 moves accordingly. The push plate 111 is long and strip-shaped with the same height as the floss pick 3. At the same time, one end of the push plate 111 is attached to the floss pick 3. Therefore, during the movement, the push plate 111 will push the floss pick 3 towards the through hole at one end of the bottom box 1. When one end of the floss pick 3 is pushed out of the through hole, the rotating plate 13 is rotatably connected to the end of the moving plate 11 near the through hole. This causes the rotating plate 13 to rotate after it is removed from the bottom box 1, making it easier for the user to take the floss pick 3 out of the bottom box 1. This eliminates the need for the user to reach directly into the box to take the floss pick 3, reducing the risk of contaminants such as hand oil and bacteria contaminating the floss pick 3. This ensures the cleanliness and hygiene of the floss pick 3, avoids bringing dirt and bacteria into the mouth, and maintains oral health.
[0024] During the removal of the dental floss pick 3, spring 122 is compressed due to the influence of connecting plate 112. After removing the dental floss pick 3, the slide plate 113 is released, at which point spring 122 on the inner wall of the sliding groove 12 will function. Spring 122 is connected to connecting plate 112. When the external force pushing the slide plate 113 is removed, spring 122 will rebound, causing connecting plate 112, moving plate 11, push plate 111 and rotating plate 13 to reset, preparing for the next removal of dental floss pick 3.
[0025] Inside the floss holder, the floss picks 3 are stacked. The push plate 111 is elongated and its height is the same as that of the floss picks 3. When the slide plate 113 is pushed, the moving plate 11 slides on the slide rod 121, causing the push plate 111 to move smoothly. Since the push plate 111 is the same height as the floss picks 3, it can provide uniform and stable support for the floss picks 3 above during movement, so that when the floss picks 3 on the moving plate 11 are pushed out of the through hole, the remaining floss picks 3 remain balanced and will not tip over or fall off. When the floss picks 3 are removed and the components inside the base box 1 are reset, the remaining floss picks 3 inside the floss holder lose the support of the push plate 111, so that the remaining floss picks 3 can automatically move to the moving plate 11 for easy removal of the next floss pick 3.
[0026] Example 2:
[0027] To ensure that after a single floss pick 3 is used, the remaining floss pick 3 can automatically move onto the moving plate 11, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-4 Based on embodiment 1, a top cover 2 is installed on the top of the bottom box 1, and a limiting rod 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of the top cover 2. The limiting rod 22 fits against the periphery of the dental floss stick 3.
[0028] When the top cover 2 and the bottom box 1 are closed, the bottom end of the limiting rod 22 is horizontal to the top end of the push plate 111, and the distance between the limiting rod 22 and the moving plate 11 is the same as the height of the dental floss stick 3.
[0029] A pressure plate 21 is slidably mounted on the limiting rod 22. A second spring 23 is installed on the top of the pressure plate 21. The limiting rod 22 is located in the middle of the second spring 23. The pressure plate 21 is connected to the top cover 2 through the second spring 23.
[0030] Specifically, the limiting rod 22 fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the top cover 2 fits against the periphery of the dental floss pick 3. When the top cover 2 and the bottom box 1 are closed, the limiting rod 22 can restrict the position of the dental floss pick 3 from the side, so that the dental floss pick 3 will not shake or move laterally in the box. This ensures that the dental floss pick 3 is neatly stacked in the box and easy to take out. The distance between the limiting rod 22 and the moving plate 11 is the same as the height of the dental floss pick 3, and the bottom end of the limiting rod 22 is horizontal with the top end of the push plate 111. This allows the dental floss pick 3 to be smoothly taken out of the dental floss box when the push plate 111 pushes the dental floss pick 3, without being difficult to take out or getting stuck in the box.
[0031] The pressure plate 21, which is slidably set on the limiting rod 22, is connected to the top cover 2 via the second spring 23. Under the action of the second spring 23, the pressure plate 21 will apply a certain pressure to the top of the dental floss stick 3. Combined with the action of the limiting rod 22, the dental floss stick 3 can be more stable in the stacked state, preventing the dental floss stick 3 from popping up or loosening in the box due to vibration, shaking, etc. At the same time, when the push plate 111 pushes the dental floss stick 3 out and resets, the pressure plate 21 will automatically push the remaining dental floss stick 3 along the limiting rod 22 to the moving plate 11, so that the dental floss stick 3 can be taken out again.
[0032] Matching buckles and slots are provided on the edges of the top cover 2 and the bottom box 1, respectively. When the top cover 2 is placed on the bottom box 1, the buckles will be tightly engaged in the slots to form a stable connection, resisting the elastic force of the spring 23 and preventing the top cover 2 from being pushed open. When the top cover 2 and the bottom box 1 are open, it is convenient to add dental floss picks 3. When the top cover 2 and the bottom box 1 are closed, the pressure plate 21 and the push plate 111 cooperate to form a relatively closed space inside the dental floss box, enhancing the sealing of the dental floss box.
[0033] Working principle: Open the top cover 2 and neatly stack the floss picks 3 on the movable plate 11 inside the bottom box 1, ensuring that the floss picks 3 are located on one side of the push plate 111 and are in contact with the push plate 111. Then close the top cover 2, so that the buckle and the slot are tightly engaged, forming a stable connection and enhancing the seal. At this time, the limiting rod 22 fixed at the top of the inner cavity of the top cover 2 is in contact with the periphery of the floss picks 3, limiting the floss picks 3 laterally. At the same time, the second spring 23 is in a compressed state, and the pressure plate 21 applies pressure to the top of the floss picks 3 under the action of the second spring 23, ensuring that the floss picks 3 are stacked stably.
[0034] When floss picks 3 are needed, the user pushes the sliding plate 113 on the outside of the base box 1, causing the connecting plate 112 to slide on the sliding rod 121. This causes the moving plate 11 to slide at the bottom of the inner cavity of the base box 1, and the push plate 111 on top of the moving plate 11 moves accordingly, smoothly pushing the floss picks 3 stacked at the bottom towards the through hole at one end of the base box 1. When one end of the floss picks 3 is pushed out of the through hole, the rotating plate 13 moves out of the base box 1 and rotates, making it easy for the user to remove the floss picks 3 from the base box 1.
[0035] After removing the floss pick 3, the user releases the slide plate 113, and the spring 122 on the inner wall of the sliding groove 12 rebounds, causing the connecting plate 112, the moving plate 11, the push plate 111, and the rotating plate 13 to reset. The pressure plate 21 will automatically push the remaining floss pick 3 along the limit rod 22 to the moving plate 11 under the action of the spring 23, preparing for the next floss pick 3 removal.
