[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this utility model provides a press-type sugar dispensing box, including: a press-type housing 10 and a contoured base 20;

[0036] The pressing housing 10 is provided with a lifting movable cavity 11, a candy storage cavity 12 and a guide rail 121. The bottom of the candy storage cavity 12 is provided with a candy outlet 122. The opposite sides of the candy storage cavity 12 are respectively provided with movable openings 123 and blocking parts 124. The guide rail 121 gradually moves away from the blocking part 124 in the upward direction.

[0037] The contoured base 20 is located at the bottom of the pressing housing 10. A lifting guide structure 21 is provided on the contoured base 20. The lifting guide structure 21 extends into the lifting movable cavity 11. An elastic element 22 and a blocking element 23 are provided on the lifting guide structure 21. The elastic element 22 is connected to the pressing housing 10. The blocking element 23 is rotatably mounted on the lifting guide structure 21. The blocking element 23 is movably engaged with the guide rail 121. The blocking element 23 extends into the candy storage cavity 12 from the movable opening 123. The blocking element 23 and the blocking part 124 cooperate to prevent the candy from falling toward the candy outlet 122.

[0038] The working principle of a push-to-dispense sugar box according to an embodiment of this utility model is explained below:

[0039] The candy storage cavity 12 is used to store candy. The candy at the bottom is blocked by the blocking member 23 and the blocking part 124, preventing it from falling towards the candy outlet 122. When dispensing candy, simply press the pressing housing 10 down, causing it to descend along the lifting guide structure 21. As the pressing housing 10 descends along the lifting guide structure 21, the elastic member 22 will be squeezed / stretched by the lifting guide structure 21 and the pressing housing 10, resulting in elastic deformation. The blocking member 23 will move along the guide track 121 and gradually move away from the blocking part 124. When the space between the baffles 124 is sufficient for the candy to pass through, the candy will pass through the baffles 23 and 124 by its own weight, then fall to the candy outlet 122, and finally fall out of the pressing housing 10 from the candy outlet 122, thus discharging the candy. Subsequently, the elastic force of the elastic member 22 will drive the pressing housing 10 to rise along the lifting guide structure 21 and return to its original position. During this process, the baffle 23 will move along the guide track 121 and move toward the baffle 124, so that the space between the baffle 124 and the baffle 23 is restored to a level where the candy cannot pass through.

[0040] When the blocking member 23 moves along the guide rail 121, the blocking member 23 can rotate relative to the lifting guide structure 21 to adapt to changing its position and avoid structural interference.

[0041] The shape of the pressing housing 10 can be designed according to actual needs, for example, it can be designed as...

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, the horizontal cross-sectional area of ​​the candy storage cavity 12 gradually decreases from top to bottom, allowing more candy to be stored at higher positions of the candy storage cavity 12, while the area near the blocking portion 124 is reduced to a sufficiently small size, such that the horizontal cross-sectional area of ​​the candy storage cavity 12 near the blocking portion 124 is slightly larger than the size of a single candy, ensuring that only a single candy passes between the blocking portion 124 and the blocking member 23 at a time. In this embodiment, the horizontal cross-sectional area of ​​the portion of the candy storage cavity 12 above the blocking portion 124 gradually decreases from top to bottom, while the portion of the candy storage cavity 12 below the blocking portion 124 does not need to be changed, and the movable opening 123 is arranged on one side of the portion of the candy storage cavity 12 below the blocking portion 124.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the blocking member 23 is provided with a protruding stop 231. The stop 231 and the blocking member 124 cooperate to prevent the candy from falling toward the candy outlet 122. When the pressing housing 10 descends along the lifting guide structure 21, the blocking member 23 moves along the guide rail 121, causing the stop 231 to gradually move away from the blocking member 124. In this embodiment, the guide rail 121 is a guide groove, the side of the blocking member 23 slides with the guide groove, and the stop 231 is on one side of the guide rail 121, which facilitates cooperation with the blocking member 124.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, a clearance groove 125 is provided in the candy storage cavity 12, and the clearance groove 125 and the blocking part 124 are located on opposite sides of the candy storage cavity 12. The guide rail 121 is provided on one side of the clearance groove 125. When the pressing housing 10 descends along the lifting guide structure 21, the blocking part 23 moves along the guide rail 121 and extends into the clearance groove 125, thereby preventing the blocking part 23 from obstructing the falling of the candy.

[0045] The specific structure of the lifting guide structure 21 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the lifting guide structure 21 includes a connecting plate 211 and a plurality of lifting guide columns 212. The connecting plate 211 and the plurality of lifting guide columns 212 are connected. The lifting guide columns 212 extend into the lifting movable cavity 11. The connecting plate 211 is disposed in the lifting movable cavity 11 and is confined within the lifting movable cavity 11. The pressing housing 10 rises and falls relative to the plurality of lifting guide columns 212. The plurality of lifting guide columns 212 can improve the lifting stability of the pressing housing 10. After the elastic member 22 drives the pressing housing 10 to rise, the connecting member is confined within the lifting movable cavity 11, so that the lifting guide columns 212 will not detach from the lifting movable cavity 11. The blocking member 23 is rotatably disposed on the connecting plate 211 or the lifting guide column 212.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, the outer side of the pressing housing 10 is provided with a plurality of first guide holes 13, and the lifting movable cavity 11 is provided with a plurality of second guide holes 14. The lifting guide post 212 passes through the first guide holes 13 and the second guide holes 14 in sequence. The connecting plate 211 is located between the first guide holes 13 and the second guide holes 14. The lifting guide post 212 is supported by the inner wall of the first guide hole 13 and the inner wall of the second guide hole 14. Based on the principle that two points determine a line, the pressing housing 10 is connected to the lifting guide post 212 through the cooperation of the first guide holes 13 and the second guide holes 14. Therefore, the pressing housing 10 is not easy to sway left and right relative to the lifting guide post 212, which improves the lifting stability of the pressing housing 10.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, the top of the pressing housing 10 is provided with a cavity 15 and a cover 16. The cover 16 is rotatably mounted on the pressing housing 10. The cover 16 opens or closes the cavity 15. The cavity 15 is connected to the candy storage cavity 12. When the cover 16 opens the cavity 15, it is convenient to fill the candy storage cavity 12 with candy. When the cover 16 closes the cavity 15, it is convenient to preserve the candy.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some optional embodiments, a protruding limiting platform 161 is provided at the bottom of the cover 16, extending into the cavity 15. Several limiting buckles 162 are provided on the side of the limiting platform 161, and several limiting grooves 17 are provided inside the pressing housing 10. The limiting buckles 162 engage with the limiting grooves 17. After the limiting platform 161 extends into the cavity 15, it is positioned and engaged with the cavity 15, thereby improving the stability of the cover 16. The limiting buckles 162 engage with the limiting grooves 17, enabling the cover 16 to be quickly and easily detached and fixed. In this embodiment, multiple limiting buckles 162 are provided on the side of the limiting platform 161, arranged sequentially around the limiting platform 161. Multiple limiting grooves 17 are also provided inside the pressing housing 10, arranged sequentially around the cavity 15. This helps to improve the limiting stability of the cover 16.

[0049] In some alternative embodiments, the pressing housing 10 includes an inner shell 18 and two side shells 19. The inner shell 18 is disposed between the two side shells 19. The inner shell 18 and the side shells 19 are detachably connected to each other. The two side shells 19 are detachably connected to each other. A lifting and movable cavity 11 is formed between the outer sides of the two side shells 19 and the inner shell 18. The inner shell 18 surrounds and forms a candy storage cavity 12. The disassembly and assembly of the inner shell 18 and the two side shells 19 facilitate production assembly and also facilitate the formation of the lifting and movable cavity 11 and the candy storage cavity 12.

[0050] The two side shells 19 are detachably connected by a number of screws or snap-fit ​​structures. In this embodiment, one side shell 19 is provided with multiple locking posts, and the other side shell 19 is provided with multiple locking holes. The locking posts and locking holes are detachably engaged, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the two side shells 19.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the side shell 19 is provided with a plurality of first fixing grooves 191 and a plurality of second fixing grooves 192; the top edge of the inner shell 18 forms a fixing part 181 arranged around the inner shell 18, and the side of the inner shell 18 is also provided with a fixing plate 182 arranged around the inner shell 18. The fixing part 181 extends into the first fixing groove 191 and the fixing part 182 extends into the second fixing groove 192. When assembling the pressing housing 10, the two side shells 19 clamp the inner shell 18 between the two side shells 19. The first fixing grooves 191 on the side shell 19 are in a limiting engagement with the fixing part 181, and the second fixing grooves 192 are in a limiting engagement with the fixing plate 182, thereby preventing the inner shell 18 from moving relative to the side shells 19, improving the stability of fixing the inner shell 18, realizing the detachable connection between the side shells 19 and the inner shell 18, and realizing the structural stability of the pressing housing 10.

[0052] The specific structure of the elastic element 22 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in this embodiment, the elastic element 22 includes multiple springs, which are correspondingly sleeved on the lifting guide column 212. One end of the spring abuts against the fixing plate 182, and the other end of the spring abuts against the connecting plate 211.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
