Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of orthodontic accessory storage boxes, and more specifically, relates to an orthodontic accessory storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are no dedicated storage boxes for orthodontic attachments in clinical practice. Commonly, they are stored in plastic medicine boxes with dividers. These plastic boxes cannot be sterilized by high temperature or autoclave; they can only be disinfected by wiping with alcohol. The storage method typically involves placing different types of attachments in separate boxes, each divided by a partition. When needed, nurses retrieve them using a tweezers, which is not only inefficient but also highly susceptible to cross-infection. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an orthodontic accessory storage box. This solves the problem that there is currently no dedicated orthodontic accessory storage box in clinical practice, and that the commonly used storage is a plastic medicine box with dividers, which is not only inefficient to retrieve but also very easy to cause cross-infection.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an orthodontic accessory storage box, comprising:
[0005] The box body has at least one protrusion inside, which is used to hold orthodontic accessories;
[0006] The lid has a through hole corresponding to the protrusion, through which orthodontic accessories can be placed and removed.
[0007] A partition is movably mounted on the box cover and is capable of sealing the through hole.
[0008] Optionally, the raised rectangles are distributed in two columns, totaling 20.
[0009] Optionally, the box body and the box lid are respectively groove-shaped.
[0010] Optionally, the side wall of the lid is provided with a through groove, and the partition is slidably or hinged in the through groove.
[0011] Optionally, the inner wall of the box lid is provided with a slide rail, and the partition is detachably slidably connected to the box lid.
[0012] Optionally, the through hole is strip-shaped or T-shaped.
[0013] Optionally, the box body is a stainless steel box body.
[0014] Optionally, the box body and the box lid are detachably connected.
[0015] Optionally, the protrusion is columnar with a hemispherical top.
[0016] Optionally, the top of the protrusion is provided with a groove.
[0017] This utility model provides an orthodontic accessory storage box, which has the following advantages:
[0018] This orthodontic accessory storage box uses a box body and lid to store orthodontic accessories. The accessories are spaced apart by raised sections, with the accessories positioned on top of these raised sections. Compared to slotted or compartmentalized storage, this design better prevents contamination, movement, and impacts, avoids interference between accessories, and reduces the risk of corrosion after cleaning. Dividers can seal through openings, facilitating transport and transfer.
[0019] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description
[0020] The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals generally represent like parts.

[0023] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures:
[0024] 1. Box body; 2. Protrusion; 3. Box lid; 4. Divider. Detailed Implementation
[0025] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an orthodontic accessory storage box includes:
[0027] Box 1, with at least one protrusion 2 inside the box 1, the protrusion 2 being used to place orthodontic accessories;
[0028] The cover 3 has a through hole corresponding to the protrusion 2, which allows orthodontic accessories to be placed and removed.
[0029] Partition 4 is movably mounted on the box cover 3 and can seal the through hole.
[0030] Specifically, the orthodontic attachments are stored in the box body 1 and the lid 3. The attachments are arranged at intervals by the protrusions 2, and are placed on top of the protrusions 2. Compared with slotted or other types of storage, this method better avoids contamination, shaking, and bumps, prevents interference between attachments, and reduces the risk of corrosion after washing. The partition 4 can seal the through holes, facilitating carrying and transfer.
[0031] Furthermore, the partition 4 is either integrated with or separate from the lid 3, for example, it is folded or slidably positioned on the side of the lid 3 away from the box body 1. Orthodontic accessories can be removed from the box body 1 through the through-hole without opening the lid 3, via the partition 4.
[0032] In this embodiment, the 20 protrusions are arranged in two rectangular columns.
[0033] Specifically, the spacing and number of protrusions 2 are reasonably distributed according to the size of the box 1 and the size of the orthodontic attachments, wherein the spacing between the protrusions is greater than the size between the attachment clamping instruments.
[0034] Furthermore, box 1 is 12cm long and 3cm wide; protrusions 2 are spaced 0.5cm horizontally and 1cm vertically; partition 4 is 9cm long and 2.4cm wide.
[0035] In this embodiment, the box body 1 and the box cover 3 are respectively groove-shaped.
[0036] Specifically, the box body 1 and the box lid 3 interlock.
[0037] In this embodiment, the side wall of the box cover 3 is provided with a through groove, and the partition 4 is slidably or hinged in the through groove.
[0038] Specifically, the orthodontic accessories inside the box 1 can be removed through the through slot without opening the box cover 3.
[0039] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the box cover 3 is provided with a slide rail, and the partition 4 is detachably slidably connected to the box cover 3.
[0040] Specifically, the lid 3 and the partition 4 form a drawer-type structure.
[0041] In this embodiment, the through hole is strip-shaped or T-shaped.
[0042] Specifically, in addition to the through hole that allows orthodontic attachments to pass through, clearance grooves are added to both ends to form a strip or Chinese character shape. The clearance grooves facilitate the use of tools such as tweezers to grasp orthodontic attachments.
[0043] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is a stainless steel box body 1.
[0044] Specifically, stainless steel is convenient for high-temperature sterilization.
[0045] In this embodiment, the box body 1 and the box cover 3 are detachably connected.
[0046] In this embodiment, the protrusion 2 is columnar with a hemispherical top.
[0047] In this embodiment, a groove is provided at the top of the protrusion 2.
[0048] This embodiment uses an orthodontic accessory storage box for example, taking the transport of orthodontic accessories as a case study:
[0049] Orthodontic attachments are placed on the protrusion 2 of the case 1, then the lid 3 is fastened and the through-hole is sealed by the partition 4 for easy carrying. After transportation, the through-hole can be exposed by opening the partition 4, and the orthodontic attachments can be retrieved through the through-hole. Because they are retrieved through the through-hole, it is to avoid unstable gripping and damage to nearby orthodontic attachments. At the same time, the information of the corresponding orthodontic attachment can be marked at the through-hole for easy location and retrieval.
[0050] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
