[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] This utility model provides a tissue box with a paper shortage reminder, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a box body 1, a tissue dispenser 11 at the top, a port 12 at one end with an end cap 3 on the outside of the port 12, a support assembly 2 at the bottom, a horn 6 on the side wall, sliding grooves 13 on both sides of the inside of the box body 1, a support base 4 at the bottom inside the box body 1, sliders 42 on both sides of the support base 4, the sliders 42 slidingly engaging with the sliding grooves 13, a groove at the top of the support base 4, a pressure sensor 41 on the inner wall of the groove, a tissue pack 5 supported on the support base 4, and a horn 6 on the outer wall of the box body 1. Through the sliding engagement of the sliding grooves 13 inside the box body 1 and the sliders 42 on the support base 4, and the pressure sensor 41 embedded in the groove at the top of the support base 4, real-time and accurate monitoring of the weight of the tissue pack 5 is achieved. When the tissue is gradually pulled out and the weight of the tissue pack 5 decreases to a preset threshold (e.g., when the remaining tissue amount is less than 20%), the pressure sensor 41 triggers a signal.

[0026] The signal triggered by the pressure sensor 41 is transmitted to the speaker 6 installed on the side wall of the box 1 through the circuit connection. The speaker 6 then emits a clear and loud reminder sound (such as "The tissues are almost empty, please replace them"), which promptly informs the user or management personnel (such as third-party management personnel or cleaning personnel) to replace the tissues, avoiding the inconvenience caused by running out of tissues.

[0027] The port 12 at one end of the box 1, in conjunction with the end cap 3, makes inserting and removing the tissue pack 5 exceptionally simple. The end cap 3 is securely connected to the port 12 via magnetic attraction or snap-fit, ensuring both the neatness and aesthetics of the tissue box and facilitating daily maintenance. This design improves the ease of tissue replacement by more than 30%.

[0028] The stable installation of support component 2 ensures the stability and durability of the tissue box in various usage scenarios (such as airports, hospitals, offices, etc.). Support component 2 includes components such as sleeve 21 and threaded rod 221, which are tightly fixed to the bottom of the box body 1 by means of threaded connection or welding, so that the tissue box can be placed stably on various flat surfaces and is not easy to tip over or shake.

[0029] In this embodiment, magnetic grooves 14 are provided on both sides of port 12, and magnetic plates are installed on the inner walls of the magnetic grooves 14. Magnetic inserts 31 are installed on both sides of end cap 3, and the magnetic inserts 31 are engaged with the magnetic grooves 14. This enables easy and secure closure of end cap 3. This magnetic design not only improves the aesthetics of the tissue box, but also allows end cap 3 to automatically align and fit tightly when closed, effectively preventing dust and impurities from entering. It also facilitates users to quickly open and close end caps for tissue replacement.

[0030] Specifically, a circuit board 15 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the box body 1. The output end of the pressure sensor 41 is electrically connected to the input end of the circuit board 15, and the output end of the circuit board 15 is electrically connected to the input end of the speaker 6. The weight signal of the tissue paper monitored by the pressure sensor 41 is transmitted to the circuit board 15 for processing via this electrical connection. The processed signal is then transmitted to the speaker 6 via the output end of the circuit board 15, enabling an automatic reminder function when tissue paper is low. This design ensures the intelligence and automation of the tissue box, improving ease of use and user experience.

[0031] Furthermore, the support component 2 includes a sleeve 21 with internal threads. The top of the sleeve 21 is welded and fixed to the box body 1. A base plate 22 is provided at the bottom of the sleeve 21, and a threaded rod 221 is installed on the top of the base plate 22. The threaded rod 221 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 21. The threaded connection enables the adjustable support height at different positions on the bottom of the box body 1. This design allows the tissue box to be easily adjusted horizontally, ensuring the stability and balance of the tissue box during use. At the same time, the welding and fixing of the sleeve 21 to the box body 1 also ensures the sturdiness and durability of the support component.

[0032] Furthermore, a dust cover 61 is installed on the outer wall of the speaker 6. This effectively prevents the intrusion of dust and impurities, protecting the speaker's sound quality and lifespan. The dust cover 61 is both aesthetically pleasing and practical, ensuring that the tissue box maintains a clear reminder sound even after long-term use.

[0033] Furthermore, a circular hole is provided in the center of the tissue box opening 11. This not only facilitates the user's tissue pulling operation but also ensures that the tissue can be pulled out smoothly, avoiding tissue jamming or tearing caused by an unreasonable tissue box design. This design improves the practicality of the tissue box and the user experience.

[0034] Furthermore, a level 7 is installed on the top of the box 1. The level 7 is a columnar structure with a level indicator bubble inside. By observing the level indicator bubble inside the level 7, the user can quickly determine whether the tissue box is placed stably. This design avoids tipping or shaking caused by an unstable tissue box, improving the stability and safety of the tissue box.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper sides of both sides of the box 1 are provided with anti-slip textures 16. This increases the stability of the user's grip during use and prevents accidental drops due to slipping. This design not only improves the safety of the tissue box, but also makes it more convenient and stable to carry or move.

[0036] When using the tissue box with a paper shortage reminder, the tissue box is initially in an unused state. The tissue pack 5 is placed intact on the support base 4. The end cap 3 is tightly closed with the magnetic groove 14 via the magnetic plug 31. The dust cover 61 protects the speaker 6. The level 7 indicates that the tissue box is placed stably. The anti-slip texture 16 provides additional grip stability.

[0037] As the user pulls out tissues through the tissue dispenser 11, the weight of the tissue pack 5 gradually decreases. The pressure sensor 41 on the top of the support 4 monitors the weight change of the tissue pack 5 in real time and converts this signal into an electrical signal.

[0038] The electrical signal triggered by the pressure sensor 41 is transmitted to the circuit board 15 through the circuit connection. The circuit board 15 processes the received signal and determines whether the weight of the tissue pack 5 is lower than a preset threshold (e.g., the remaining amount of tissue is less than 20%).

[0039] When circuit board 15 determines that the tissues are about to run out, it transmits the processed signal to speaker 6 through its output terminal. After receiving the signal, speaker 6 immediately emits a clear and loud reminder sound (such as a voice prompt saying "The tissues are about to run out, please replace them").

[0040] After hearing the alert, the user or administrator opens end cover 3, removes the old tissue pack 5 through port 12, and places a new tissue pack inside. End cover 3 then closes tightly again via magnetic attraction or snap-fit, ensuring the tissue box remains neat and aesthetically pleasing.

[0041] Depending on actual needs, users can adjust the height of the support component 2 by rotating the threaded rod 221 to ensure the stability and balance of the tissue box in different usage scenarios. The dust cover 61 effectively prevents dust and impurities from entering the speaker 6, protecting its sound quality and lifespan. The level 7 helps users quickly determine whether the tissue box is placed stably, preventing it from tipping over or shaking. The anti-slip texture 16 increases grip stability and prevents accidental drops.
