[0028] 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.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] In daily life and medical settings, iodine swabs are widely used due to their convenient disinfection and quick use. However, traditional iodine swabs are usually packaged in plastic bags, which require manual tearing open. This is not only inconvenient but also makes it difficult to properly store any remaining swabs. Therefore, a swab storage box has been designed. However, existing swab storage boxes require manual removal of the swabs, which is cumbersome when hands are unclean or when using one hand. Furthermore, they cannot achieve automatic ejection and quantitative dispensing of iodine swabs, failing to meet the needs for quick and hygienic dispensing. To address these issues, a portable automatic ejection box for iodine swabs is designed.
[0031] Furthermore:
[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0033] Based on the above: it includes a box body 1 and a receiving cavity 11 opened inside the box body 1. A cotton outlet 12 is opened on one side surface of the box body 1. It also includes a push assembly 2 disposed inside the receiving cavity 11 and a flip-top assembly 3 disposed on the surface of the box body 1. The push assembly 2 includes a placement plate 21 disposed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 11. A limit spring 22 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower surface of the placement plate 21. The end of the limit spring 22 away from the placement plate 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. The flip-top assembly 3 includes a top cover 31 rotatably connected to the surface of the box body 1.
[0034] In this implementation scheme: the accommodating cavity 11 set in the box body 1 realizes the centralized storage of iodine swabs. The limiting spring 22 in the pushing component 2 will generate an upward pushing force on the placement plate 21 in the natural state, which can push the iodine swabs in the accommodating cavity 11 upward, so that the swabs can be ejected from the cotton outlet 12. The top cover 31 of the flip cover component 3 can cover the top of the box body 1 when it is not necessary to replenish the swabs, preventing external dust, impurities, etc. from entering the accommodating cavity 11 and contaminating the swabs, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the swabs.
[0035] Furthermore:
[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0037] In an optional embodiment, slide rails 23 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate 21, and slide grooves 24 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the box body 1. The slide rails 23 are slidably connected to the box body 1 through the slide grooves 24.
[0038] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the slide rail 23 and the slide groove 24 guides and limits the movement of the placement plate 21, allowing the placement plate 21 to move stably up and down along a fixed trajectory under the action of the limiting spring 22. This prevents the placement plate 21 from shifting or tilting during movement, ensuring the smoothness of the cotton swab pushing process, and thus ensuring that the cotton swab can be accurately ejected from the cotton outlet 12.
[0039] Furthermore:
[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0041] In an optional embodiment, a side shell 25 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the box body 1, and a linkage plate 26 is rotatably connected inside the side shell 25. A pressing rod 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the linkage plate 26, and the pressing rod 27 and the side shell 25 are slidably connected. A push rod 28 is slidably connected to the surface of the box body 1, and a connecting plate 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 28. Limiting sliders 210 are symmetrically slidably connected to the surface of the connecting plate 29, and the limiting sliders 210 are all rotatably connected to the linkage plate 26.
[0042] In this embodiment: when the pressing rod 27 is pressed, the linkage plate 26 will rotate. The linkage plate 26 drives the connecting plate 29 to move through the limiting slider 210, thereby causing the push rod 28 to slide. The push rod 28 can push the cotton swab in the receiving cavity 11. With the help of the placement plate 21, the cotton swab can be pushed out from the cotton outlet 12 more efficiently, realizing the automatic pop-out function of the cotton swab. The operation is convenient, especially when operating with one hand, which improves the ease of use.
[0043] Furthermore:
[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0045] In an optional embodiment, a limiting spring 212 is sleeved on the surface of the pressing rod 27, one end of the limiting spring 212 is fixedly connected to the side housing 25, and a limiting spring 211 is sleeved on the surface of the push rod 28, one end of the limiting spring 211 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 29.
[0046] In this embodiment, both limit spring 3 212 and limit spring 211 serve a reset function. When the pressing rod 27 is released, limit spring 3 212 will push the pressing rod 27 back to its initial position. At the same time, under the action of limit spring 211, components such as push rod 28 and connecting plate 29 will also reset, waiting for the next operation. This automatic reset function ensures that the device can work repeatedly and stably without manual reset, simplifying the operation process and improving the efficiency of the device.
[0047] Furthermore:
[0048] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0049] In an optional embodiment, a retaining plate 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of the top cover 31, and a limiting ring 33 is slidably connected to the surface of the retaining plate 32. The limiting ring 33 is fixedly connected to the box body 1.
[0050] In this implementation scheme: the cooperation between the card plate 32 and the limiting ring 33 achieves the fixation of the top cover 31. When the top cover 31 is closed, the card plate 32 slides into the limiting ring 33, and the limiting ring 33 limits the card plate 32, thereby firmly covering the top cover 31 on the box body 1, preventing the top cover 31 from being accidentally opened when carried or not in use, and further protecting the cotton swabs in the receiving cavity 11 from contamination.
[0051] Furthermore:
[0052] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0053] In an optional embodiment, sealing gaskets 34 are fixedly connected to the opposite side surfaces of the housing 1 and the top cover 31.
[0054] In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 34 is usually made of elastic material. When the top cover 31 is closed, the sealing gasket 34 is squeezed to fill the gap between the box body 1 and the top cover 31, which significantly enhances the sealing performance of the device and can effectively prevent external dust, moisture and other substances from entering the receiving cavity 11, prolonging the storage time of the iodine swabs and ensuring the disinfection effect and safety of the swabs.
[0055] Furthermore:
[0056] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0057] In an optional embodiment, a fixing block 35 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the box 1, a rotating shaft 36 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing block 35, and a protective cover 37 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 36.
[0058] In this embodiment, the protective cover 37 can provide additional protection for key components such as the cotton outlet 12 or the pressing rod 27. When the device is not in use, rotating the protective cover 37 to cover the corresponding components can further prevent accidental contact with the pressing rod 27 that could cause the cotton swab to pop out. It can also reduce damage to these components from external factors, thereby improving the service life and safety of the device.
[0059] Furthermore:
[0060] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0061] In an optional embodiment, one end of the rotating shaft 36 is fixedly connected to a limiting gear 38, the surface of the limiting gear 38 is meshed with a limiting gear 39, and the limiting gear 39 is rotatably connected to the housing 1.
[0062] In this embodiment, the meshing of the first limiting gear 38 and the second limiting gear 39 limits the rotation angle of the protective cover 37, ensuring that the protective cover 37 can only rotate within a specific angle range. This prevents the protective cover 37 from opening unnecessarily when not in use, and also ensures that the protective cover 37 can stably remain in the corresponding position when covered or opened, thus improving the stability and reliability of the device.
[0063] Working principle: Iodine swabs are centrally stored in the receiving cavity 11 within the box body 1. The limiting spring 22 in the pushing component 2 exerts an upward force on the placement plate 21 in its natural state, pushing the iodine swabs upwards within the receiving cavity 11, facilitating their ejection from the outlet 12. The top cover 31 of the flip-top component 3 covers the top of the box body 1 when no additional swabs are needed, preventing external dust and impurities from entering the receiving cavity 11 and contaminating the swabs, thus ensuring their cleanliness. The sliding rail 23 and the sliding groove 24 guide and limit the movement of the placement plate 21, allowing it to move stably up and down along a fixed trajectory under the action of the limiting spring 22, preventing the placement plate 21 from shifting during movement. The offset and tilting ensure the smoothness of the cotton swab pushing process, thus ensuring that the cotton swab can be accurately ejected from the cotton outlet 12. When the pressing rod 27 is pressed, it will drive the linkage plate 26 to rotate. The linkage plate 26 drives the connecting plate 29 to move through the limit slider 210, which in turn causes the push rod 28 to slide. The push rod 28 can push the cotton swab in the receiving cavity 11. With the action of the placement plate 21, the cotton swab can be pushed out of the cotton outlet 12 more efficiently, realizing the automatic ejection function of the cotton swab. The operation is convenient, especially when operating with one hand, which improves the ease of use. The limit spring 3 212 and the limit spring 211 both play a reset role. When the pressing rod 27 is released, the limit spring 3 212 will push the pressing rod 27 back to the initial position. At the same time, the limit spring 212 will push the pressing rod 27 back to the initial position. Under the action of the second spring 211, components such as the push rod 28 and connecting plate 29 will also reset, waiting for the next operation. This automatic reset function ensures that the device can work repeatedly and stably without manual reset, simplifying the operation process and improving the efficiency of the device. The cooperation between the locking plate 32 and the limiting ring 33 fixes the top cover 31. When the top cover 31 is closed, the locking plate 32 slides into the limiting ring 33, and the limiting ring 33 limits the locking plate 32, thereby firmly covering the top cover 31 on the box body 1, preventing the top cover 31 from being accidentally opened when carried or not in use, and further protecting the cotton swabs in the receiving cavity 11 from contamination. The sealing gasket 34 is usually made of elastic material. When the top cover 31 is closed, the sealing gasket 34 will be squeezed, filling the box body 1 and The gap between the top covers 31 significantly enhances the device's sealing performance, effectively preventing external dust and moisture from entering the receiving cavity 11, extending the shelf life of the iodine swabs, and ensuring the disinfection effect and safety of the swabs. The protective cover 37 provides additional protection for key components such as the cotton outlet 12 or the pressing rod 27. When the device is not in use, rotating the protective cover 37 to cover the corresponding components further prevents accidental activation of the pressing rod 27, which could cause the swabs to pop out. It also reduces damage to these components from external factors, improving the device's service life and safety. The meshing of the first limiting gear 38 and the second limiting gear 39 limits the rotation angle of the protective cover 37, ensuring that the protective cover 37 can only rotate within a specific angle range.This design prevents the protective cover 37 from opening unnecessarily when not in use, and also ensures that the protective cover 37 remains stably in the appropriate position when closed or opened, thus improving the stability and reliability of the device.
