Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrument storage box technology, specifically a convenient oral instrument storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Commonly used instruments in orthodontics include three-pronged instruments, needle holders, and scissors. To facilitate their use, instruments are stored in instrument cases for easy access later.
[0003] The prior art includes a dental orthodontic contaminated instrument storage box with publication number CN219332056U. It comprises a storage box with a removable top cover. The inner cavity of the storage box contains a solid-liquid separation assembly, which includes a filter box located within the inner cavity. The bottom of the filter box's inner cavity has multiple filter holes. A liquid collection box is perforated through the bottom of the front surface of the storage box, and a rectangular opening adapted to the liquid collection box is formed at the bottom of the front surface. The inner cavity of the top cover contains a sealing assembly, which includes a sealing plate located at the front of the inner cavity of the top cover. Rotating columns are fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the sealing plate. The rotating columns are rotatably connected to the top cover. A torsion spring is sleeved on the surface of each rotating column. One end of the torsion spring engages with the inner wall of the top cover, and the other end engages with the sealing plate.
[0004] When using the above-mentioned equipment, the instruments are placed in the storage box. During transportation, the instruments are prone to collisions with each other or with the inner wall of the storage box, which can cause damage to the instruments. At the same time, due to the depth of the storage box, it is also inconvenient to take out the instruments inside the storage box. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a convenient dental instrument storage box that can separate instruments to prevent collisions and damage, and also makes it easy to retrieve instruments.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include:
[0009] A user-friendly dental instrument storage box includes an outer shell and a top cover. A column is fixedly mounted in the center of the inner cavity of the outer shell. Dividers are fixed at equal angles between the column and the inner wall of the outer shell. A storage mechanism is positioned between the dividers. The storage mechanism includes a fixed rod, a rotating rod, and a supporting surface. The two ends of the fixed rod are respectively fixed to the column and the outer shell. One end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the column, and the other end is located on the top of the outer shell. This design allows instruments to be stored separately, preventing collisions and damage, and also facilitates the retrieval of instruments.
[0010] Preferably, the support surface has a fan-shaped structure, and the inner arc of the support surface is close to the column.
[0011] Preferably, a groove is formed on the outer wall of the column, and the end of the rotating rod near the column is located in the groove. The end of the rotating rod located inside the groove is rotatably connected to the column through a rotating shaft.
[0012] Preferably, a through hole is provided on the support surface.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] This utility model provides a convenient dental instrument storage box. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) The instrument is placed on the support surface, and the two sides of the instrument are protected by the support surface to avoid collision.
[0016] (2) When the rotating rod is rotated, the rotating rod pulls the support surface open, and the opened support surface lifts the instrument on the support surface upward, making it easier to pick up the instrument. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the convenient dental instrument storage box of this embodiment includes an outer shell 1 and a top cover 2. A column 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. A partition plate 4 is fixedly installed at an equal angle between the column 3 and the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A storage mechanism 5 is installed between the partition plates 4. The storage mechanism 5 includes a fixed rod 501, a rotating rod 502, and a support surface 503. The two ends of the fixed rod 501 are fixed to the column 3 and the outer shell 1, respectively. One end of the rotating rod 502 is rotatably connected to the column 3, and the other end is located on the top of the outer shell 1. This design can protect the instruments and also facilitate the retrieval of the instruments.
[0024] Furthermore, the support surface 503 has a fan-shaped structure, and the inner arc of the support surface 503 is close to the column 3.
[0025] Furthermore, a groove 6 is provided on the outer wall of the column 3, and one end of the rotating rod 502 near the column 3 is located in the groove 6. The end of the rotating rod 502 located inside the groove 6 is rotatably connected to the column 3 through a rotating shaft.
[0026] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the support surface 503.
[0027] Working principle: After cleaning, disinfecting, and drying, remove the top cover 2 and place the instruments on the support surface 503, with the tip or end requiring protection facing the column 3. Under the weight of the instruments, the support surface 503 will hang downwards. For lighter instruments, the rotating rod 502 can be rotated to lower the instruments downwards. Then, replace the top cover 2. The sides of the instruments will be protected by the support surface 503, and the side of the instrument near the inner wall of the outer shell 1 will be blocked by the inner wall of the outer shell 1.
[0028] When you need to retrieve an instrument, remove the top cover 2. When you need to retrieve an instrument from the corresponding support surface 503, rotate the rotating rod 502 to the opposite side. When the rotating rod 502 rotates, it will pull the support surface 503 upward, and the instrument on the support surface 503 will be pushed upward. You can then retrieve the instrument from the support surface 503.
