Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a candy box, and more particularly to a press-to-pop candy box. Background Technology
[0002] Common candy boxes typically consist of a main body with an internal storage space for candies. An opening connects to this storage space, and a hinged lid allows users to close the box to prevent candies from falling out when not in use. To empty the candy, the lid is opened and the box is tilted. While simple in structure, this type of candy box presents some inconveniences. Because the candy is tilted to empty, it's difficult to control the amount poured out each time. If too little is poured out, repeated pouring is necessary; if too much is poured out, returning the empty candies can easily contaminate the remaining candy.
[0003] Therefore, overcoming the aforementioned shortcomings has become an important issue that urgently needs to be addressed by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies and provides a press-to-pop candy box.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A press-to-pop candy box includes a candy box body 1. A rotating seat 2, which can rotate around the central axis of the candy box body 1, is coaxially arranged inside the candy box body 1. A first candy outlet 11 is provided on the side wall of the candy box body 1. A plurality of circumferentially evenly distributed candy storage compartments 21 are formed on the rotating seat 2. The candy storage compartments 21 are used to place candies 3, and each candy storage compartment 21 stores only one candy 3. Each candy storage compartment 21 is provided with a second candy outlet 22 that is radially outward. A press-to-rotate assembly 4 is provided inside the candy box body 1 for driving the rotating seat 2 to rotate. The press-to-rotate assembly 4 includes a button 41 exposed on the top surface of the candy box body 1. The button 41 is used for the user to press and drive the press-to-rotate assembly 4 to operate. A pop-out assembly 5 is also provided inside the candy box body 1. The pop-out assembly 5 is used to pop the candy 3 in the candy storage compartment 21 that has rotated to the first candy outlet 11 radially outward.
[0007] Preferably, the pressing and rotating assembly 4 includes a central column 42 disposed in the center of the candy box body 1. A lower toothed seat 43 is sleeved on the central column 42, which can move up and down along the central column 42 and rotate around the central column 42. The upper surface of the lower toothed seat 43 is provided with a first helical tooth evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. The rotating seat 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the lower toothed seat 43. The rotating seat 2 and the lower toothed seat 43 are limited and connected to rotate synchronously. An upper internal toothed seat 44 is also fixed on the central column 42, located above the lower toothed seat 43. The lower surface of the upper internal toothed seat 44 is provided with a second helical tooth evenly distributed in the circumferential direction that can mesh with the lower toothed seat 43. The button 41 is limited and connected to the central column 42 and can move up and down. The button 41 is equipped with an upper outer tooth 412 at its lower end, which is sleeved around the upper inner tooth seat 44. The lower surface of the upper outer tooth 412 is provided with a third helical tooth that is evenly distributed circumferentially and can mesh with the lower tooth seat 43. A return spring 45 is also sleeved on the central column 42 between the bottom surface of the lower tooth seat 43 and the candy box body 1 for driving the lower tooth seat 43 to move upward and reset. The upper inner tooth seat 44 is used to fully mesh with the lower tooth seat 43 after it moves upward and locks the lower tooth seat 43 to prevent it from rotating. The upper outer tooth 412 is used to push the lower tooth seat 43 downward and disengage it from the upper inner tooth seat 44 after the button 41 is pressed, so that the lower tooth seat 43 meshes with the upper outer tooth 412 and drives the lower tooth seat 43 to rotate.
[0008] Preferably, the pop-out component 5 includes a pop-out spring 51 disposed on the top surface inside the candy box body 1. The pop-out spring 51 is disposed parallel to the central axis of the candy box body 1. The pop-out component 5 also includes an annular cavity 52 disposed in the center of the rotating seat 2, connecting the inner end of each sugar storage compartment 21. The pop-out spring 51 extends downward into the annular cavity 52. One end of the pop-out spring 51 is fixed to the candy box body 1, and the other end is free and extends towards the first sugar outlet 11 along the rotation direction of the rotating seat 2. The pop-out spring 51 can extend into the corresponding sugar storage compartment 21 when the first sugar outlet 11 and the second sugar outlet 22 are aligned.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This push-to-pop candy box allows users to easily dispense candy by pressing a button once. The rotating mechanism then drives a rotating base to align one of the candy compartments with the first dispensing opening. Once the base is in position, the pop-up component ejects the candy from the compartment aligned with the opening. Each button press dispenses one candy steadily until all compartments are empty. This allows users to precisely select the desired amount, unlike traditional candy boxes where the amount dispensed is unpredictable, significantly improving convenience. The pop-up effect also provides visual appeal, stimulating curiosity and attracting customers, thus enhancing the candy box's market competitiveness. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The following examples provide a more detailed description of the features and other related characteristics of this utility model, to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:
[0020] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a press-to-pop candy box includes a candy box body 1. A rotating seat 2, which can rotate around the central axis of the candy box body 1, is coaxially arranged inside the candy box body 1. A first candy outlet 11 is provided on the side wall of the candy box body 1. A plurality of circumferentially evenly distributed candy storage compartments 21 are formed on the rotating seat 2. The candy storage compartments 21 are used to place candies 3, and each candy storage compartment 21 stores only one candy 3. Each candy storage compartment 21 is provided with a second candy outlet 22 that is radially outward. A press-to-rotate assembly 4 is provided inside the candy box body 1 for driving the rotating seat 2 to rotate. The press-to-rotate assembly 4 includes a button 41 exposed on the top surface of the candy box body 1. The button 41 is used for the user to press and drive the press-to-rotate assembly 4 to operate. A pop-out assembly 5 is also provided inside the candy box body 1. The pop-out assembly 5 is used to pop the candy 3 in the candy storage compartment 21 that has rotated to the first candy outlet 11 radially outward.
[0021] This press-to-pop candy box features a rotating base 2 within the main body 1, capable of rotating around its central axis. The rotating base 2 has several storage compartments 21 for holding candy. The main body 1 also includes a press-to-rotate assembly 4 for driving the rotating base 2 and a pop-out assembly 5 for ejecting candy 3 from the storage compartments 21. Each press of the button 41 on the press-to-rotate assembly 4 rotates the rotating base 2 a certain angle in a fixed direction, moving the storage compartment 21 to the next adjacent compartment. After the rotating base 2 has rotated completely, the second outlet 22 of one of the storage compartments 21 aligns with its first outlet 11. At this point, the pop-out assembly 5 automatically ejects the candy 3 from the storage compartment 21 radially outward through the second outlet 22 and the first outlet 11.
[0022] As described above, in this case, the push-to-pop candy box allows the user to easily retrieve candy by pressing button 41 once. The pressing and rotating component 4 then drives the rotating base 2 to rotate at a certain angle, aligning one of the candy storage compartments 21 with the first candy outlet 11. Once the rotating base 2 is in position, the pop-out component 5 pops the candy 3 from the compartment 21 aligned with the first candy outlet 11. Thus, each press of button 41 causes one candy 3 to pop out of the candy box steadily until all the candies 3 in the compartments 21 have been popped out. This allows the user to accurately retrieve the required number of candies, unlike traditional candy boxes where it's difficult to accurately predict how much candy will be dispensed, significantly improving the convenience of candy retrieval. Simultaneously, the pop-out candy effect provides a visual impact, stimulating user curiosity and attracting purchases, thereby further enhancing the market competitiveness of this candy box.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, preferably, the pressing and rotating assembly 4 includes a central column 42 disposed in the center of the candy box body 1. A lower toothed seat 43, capable of moving up and down along the central column 42 and rotating around the central column 42, is sleeved on the central column 42. The upper surface of the lower toothed seat 43 is provided with circumferentially evenly distributed first helical teeth. The rotating seat 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the lower toothed seat 43. The rotating seat 2 and the lower toothed seat 43 are limited and connected to rotate synchronously. An upper internal toothed seat 44, located above the lower toothed seat 43, is also fixed on the central column 42. The lower surface of the upper internal toothed seat 44 is provided with circumferentially evenly distributed second helical teeth that can mesh with the lower toothed seat 43. The button 41 is limited and connected to the central column 42 and can move up and down. The button 41 is lowered and has an upper outer tooth 412 sleeved around the upper inner tooth seat 44. The lower surface of the upper outer tooth 412 has a third helical tooth evenly distributed in the circumference that can mesh with the lower tooth seat 43. The bottom surface of the lower tooth seat 43 and the central column 42 between the bottom surface of the lower tooth seat 43 and the candy box body 1 are also sleeved with a return spring 45 for driving the lower tooth seat 43 to move upward and reset. The upper inner tooth seat 44 is used to fully mesh with the lower tooth seat 43 after it moves upward and locks the lower tooth seat 43 to prevent it from rotating. The upper outer tooth 412 is used to push the lower tooth seat 43 downward and disengage it from the upper inner tooth seat 44 after the button 41 is pressed, so that the lower tooth seat 43 meshes with the upper outer tooth 412 and drives the lower tooth seat 43 to rotate.
[0024] As described above, when the button 41 is not pressed, the lower tooth seat 43 of the pressing and rotating assembly 4 moves to its limit position under the drive of the return spring 45 and fully engages with the upper internal tooth seat 44. After the first helical tooth and the second helical tooth are fully engaged, the lower tooth seat 43 and the upper internal tooth seat 44 will also be jammed, preventing the lower tooth seat 43 from rotating. The rotating seat 2 will also be fixed and unable to rotate because the lower tooth seat 43 cannot rotate. The upper external tooth 412 will also contact the upper external tooth 412 while engaging with the upper internal tooth seat 44, but they cannot fully engage.
[0025] When the user presses button 41, the upper external tooth 412 presses against the lower tooth seat 43, overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 45, and moves downward. After moving downward, the lower tooth seat 43 disengages from the upper internal tooth seat 44 and is no longer in contact with it. After disengaging from the upper internal tooth seat 44, the lower tooth seat 43 can rotate freely. Thus, under the pressure of the upper external tooth 412, the lower tooth seat 43 will rotate a certain angle and engage with the upper external tooth 412. At this time, the rotation of the lower tooth seat 43 will also drive the rotating seat 2 to rotate. When the user releases button 41, the lower tooth seat 43 will move upward again under the drive of the return spring 45 and re-engage with the upper internal tooth seat 44. However, since the lower tooth seat 43 has already rotated a certain angle, it will re-engage with the upper internal tooth seat 44 and rotate a certain angle again during the upward movement. When the lower gear seat 43 rises to its position and fully engages with the upper internal gear seat 44 again, the lower gear seat 43 just drives the rotating seat 2 to rotate the distance of one sugar storage compartment 21.
[0026] As described above, when the user presses button 41 once, the rotating component 4 can drive the rotating seat 2 to rotate a distance of one sugar storage compartment 21, so that the next sugar storage compartment 21 can be aligned with the first sugar outlet 11, and the ejector component 5 can eject a candy 3.
[0027] Specifically, the mechanical principle used in the pressing and rotating component 4 in this case is similar to the operating principle of a push-button ballpoint pen.
[0028] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, preferably, the pop-out component 5 includes a pop-out spring 51 disposed on the top surface inside the candy box body 1. The pop-out spring 51 is disposed parallel to the central axis of the candy box body 1. The pop-out component 5 also includes an annular cavity 52 disposed in the center of the rotating seat 2, connecting the inner end of each sugar storage compartment 21. The pop-out spring 51 extends downward into the annular cavity 52. One end of the pop-out spring 51 is fixed to the candy box body 1, and the other end is free and extends towards the first sugar outlet 11 along the rotation direction of the rotating seat 2. The pop-out spring 51 can extend into the corresponding sugar storage compartment 21 when the first sugar outlet 11 and the second sugar outlet 22 are aligned.
[0029] As described above, the ejector assembly 5 in this case includes an ejector spring 51 and an annular cavity 52. The annular cavity 52 is disposed on the rotating seat 2 and communicates with the inner end of each candy storage compartment 21. The ejector spring 51 is fixed to the top surface inside the candy box body 1 and extends downward into the annular cavity 52. Therefore, when the rotating seat 2 moves, the ejector spring 51 will not obstruct the rotation of the rotating seat 2. In addition, one end of the ejector spring 51 is fixed to the candy box body 1, while the other end is free and extends towards the first candy outlet 11 along the rotation direction of the rotating seat 2. Thus, when the rotating seat 2 rotates, the wall of the candy storage compartment 21 will squeeze the free end of the ejector spring 51, pushing the free end of the ejector spring 51 out of the candy storage compartment 21 that was originally aligned with the first candy outlet 11. When the rotating seat 2 rotates a distance of one sugar storage compartment 21, the free end of the pop-out spring 51 will spring back to the first sugar outlet 11 under its own elasticity, and then pop into the sugar storage compartment 21 that is aligned with the first sugar outlet 11 at this time, and pop out the candy 3 in it towards the first sugar outlet 11 to realize sugar dispensing.
[0030] The pop-out component 5 in this case, by setting an annular cavity 52, not only avoids the pop-out spring 51 from obstructing the rotation of the rotating seat 2, but also uses the rotation of the rotating seat 2 to build up momentum for the pop-out spring 51 to pop out the candy 3, so that the action of rotating seat 2 rotating and candy 3 popping out can be completed in one go.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, preferably, the candy box body 1 includes an upward-facing bottom box 12 and a lid 13 for sealing the opening of the bottom box 12. The bottom box 12 and the lid 13 are detachably connected by a snap fastener. The top of the lid 13 is provided with a through hole 131 for the button 41 to extend upward. In this way, the lid 13 can be easily removed to expose the entire rotating seat 2. After all the candies 3 in the candy box are taken out, it is convenient to replenish the candy storage compartment 21 with candies 3. After long-term use, the rotating seat 2, the pressing and rotating component 4 and the pop-out component 5 can be removed by disassembling the lid 13 for cleaning, ensuring the hygiene of the candy box.
[0032] Specifically, the first sugar outlet 11 is located on the side wall of the bottom box 12, the central column 42 is located on the bottom box 12, and the pop-out spring 51 is located on the box cover 13.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, preferably, the candy box body 1 is also provided with a movable cover 14 for closing or opening the first candy outlet 11. In this way, after the candy 3 is taken out, the first candy outlet 11 can be closed by the movable cover 14 to prevent foreign objects from entering the candy box body 1 through the first candy outlet 11 and contaminating the candy 3 inside.
[0034] Specifically, one end of the movable cover 14 is movably connected to the bottom box 12, and the other end is detachably connected to the box cover 13 via a buckle.
[0035] As stated above, this case protects a push-to-pop candy box, and all technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this case should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this case.
