Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of dental instrument technology, and in particular to a dental material storage box. Background Technology
[0002] The work surface of the dental chair in oral and maxillofacial surgery is often scattered with sterile forceps containers, iodine bottles, cotton swabs, and other necessary treatment items. During treatment, these items are easily knocked over due to the operation and patient positioning, leading to instrument contamination or iodine spillage. This forces medical staff to interrupt the procedure to replace sterile items and clean the work surface, which is time-consuming and laborious. However, placing all the items in one place can easily cause confusion and inconvenience in accessing them.
[0003] Currently, to organize different instruments, storage boxes are typically used to hold different types of items such as bottles, swabs, tweezers, and syringes. However, this method still presents the problem of inconvenience in retrieval. The reason is that for bottles, small bottles are often stacked, requiring the top bottles to be removed to retrieve those at the bottom. Small instruments like cotton swabs and tweezers are piled together in layers, requiring rummaging to find them. Similarly, stacked injectable items also require rummaging to locate them. These operations not only easily lead to inconvenience and disarray but also prolong surgical time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a dental material storage box that can distinguish different types of instruments and articles.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An oral material storage box includes a box body, wherein a first cavity is provided on the front side of the box body, a second cavity is provided on the left side, and the second cavity is located above the first cavity;
[0007] The first cavity is provided with a first storage drawer, which is divided into several compartments. The right end of the first storage drawer has an opening, and a sliding compartment is provided in the opening, which can slide out to the right from the opening.
[0008] The second cavity is equipped with a second storage drawer;
[0009] It also includes a sliding push-pull assembly, which includes a fixed compartment located at the rear end of the box and has an opening at its right end. The top and bottom walls inside the fixed compartment are respectively provided with first sliding grooves along the horizontal direction. A slide plate is provided inside the fixed compartment. The top and bottom of the slide plate are respectively provided with sliders that match the two first sliding grooves. The front end of the slide plate is provided with several fixing clips.
[0010] Bottles and jars are placed in the first storage drawer, while bottles and jars that need to be stacked are placed in the sliding compartment; cotton swabs, tweezers, and adhesive tape are laid flat in the second storage drawer; syringes are hung on the sliding plate.
[0011] In some embodiments, a second groove is provided on the left and right side walls of the first cavity, and a third groove is provided on the bottom wall.
[0012] In some embodiments, the front end of the third slide is provided with a rotatable roller, which contacts the bottom of the first storage drawer. This reduces the contact between the bottom of the first storage drawer and the bottom wall of the first cavity, improving the smoothness of the push-pull process of the first storage drawer.
[0013] To prevent the first storage drawer from detaching from the first cavity when pulled out, in some embodiments, the left and right rear sides of the first storage drawer are provided with a first protruding edge facing the second slide groove, and the bottom is provided with a second protruding edge facing the third slide groove.
[0014] In order to enable the sliding compartment to slide at the opening, in some implementations, the front and rear faces of the first storage drawer are respectively provided with right-angled sliding grooves, and the longitudinal grooves of the sliding grooves are arranged downwards; the sliding grooves are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the sliding compartment.
[0015] Further extending the above scheme, the front and rear ends of the sliding compartment are respectively provided with sliding blocks, and the two sliding blocks are respectively located in the sliding grooves on the front and rear ends of the first storage drawer.
[0016] In some embodiments, a first clamping spring is provided on the front left side of the first storage drawer, and the first clamping spring contacts the left side wall of the box; a second clamping spring is provided on the front and rear left sides of the second storage drawer, and the second clamping spring contacts the front and rear walls of the box, respectively; a third clamping spring is provided on the right end of the slide plate, and the third clamping spring contacts the rear end face of the fixing compartment. This solves the problem of how to fix the first storage drawer, the second storage drawer, and the slide plate.
[0017] Compared to existing technologies, this application achieves at least the following beneficial effects: This storage box adopts a structure of a first storage drawer, a second storage drawer, and a sliding component to distinguish and store different types of medical supplies. Each component functions independently and does not interfere with the others, facilitating categorized retrieval. The first storage drawer has a sliding compartment. For bottles and jars that need to be stacked, the top and bottom items can be separated by sliding the compartment for easy access. For items like cotton swabs and tweezers, they can be placed flat in the second storage drawer, ensuring neat arrangement and preventing stacking or misalignment, facilitating inventory and retrieval. For injectable items, they are fixed vertically or horizontally to a sliding plate using clips; removing the plate allows for a clear view of all items in that category. In summary, this storage box not only provides categorized storage for various medical supplies but also improves ease of retrieval, thereby helping to shorten surgical preparation time and increase work efficiency.

[0035] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. These embodiments are provided herein to make the disclosure of the present application more complete and to fully convey the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art.
[0036] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
[0037] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inconvenience in distinguishing different types of medical devices and the difficulty for medical staff to handle them, the inventors, after careful analysis, discovered that the main reasons for these problems are:
[0038] Firstly, regarding the storage of bottles and jars, conventional storage boxes often only offer simple squares or recesses, lacking a layered design for space utilization. Due to the limited space in operating rooms, medical staff often stack small medicine bottles and jars (such as iodine bottles and small anesthetic containers) to save space. However, this stacking method results in the bottom bottles and jars being obstructed by the top ones. When retrieving them, the items on top must be removed one by one, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also highly prone to knocking over other bottles and jars in the chaos, causing confusion in the operating area, and may even lead to contamination or breakage risks.
[0039] Secondly, for small instruments such as cotton swabs and tweezers, traditional storage boxes often use an open, shallow design, which makes it easy for items to stack, intertwine, or even become tangled. Especially in urgent situations, medical staff may find it difficult to quickly identify and retrieve the target instruments, often requiring them to manually rummage and pick them out, a process that easily reduces efficiency.
[0040] Finally, for syringes, the most common storage method is still to lay them flat and stack them. Syringes come in various models and have similar specifications. When stacked, the syringes and plungers obscure each other, making the labels difficult to identify. Medical staff have to check and search for each one when they need to retrieve it, which also reduces preparation efficiency.
[0041] In conclusion, while existing storage boxes offer basic categorization, they lack in-depth design tailored to the unique shapes and usage logic of different medical items. This results in unavoidable issues such as cluttered stacking and inefficient retrieval during application. This not only increases pre-operative preparation time but may also disrupt the overall coordination of the medical process.
[0042] Based on the above analysis, the inventor made structural improvements to the storage box.
[0043] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in at least one embodiment of the oral material storage box of this application, a rectangular box body 1 is included, which can be placed on a medical trolley or operating table. A first cavity 12 with a rectangular opening is opened on the front side of the box body 1, and a second cavity 11 with a rectangular opening is opened on the left side, with the second cavity 11 located above the first cavity 12. The first cavity 12 and the second cavity 11 are not in communication.
[0044] A drawer-type first storage drawer 6 is installed inside the first cavity 12. Its shape matches the first cavity 12 and it can slide within the first cavity 12 to achieve push-pull movement. Several longitudinally arranged partitions 62 are welded inside the first storage drawer 6, dividing the interior of the first storage drawer 6 into several compartments (in this embodiment, two partitions 62 are used to divide it into three compartments). A U-shaped notch 67 is opened at the top right end of the first storage drawer 6, and a sliding compartment 65 is installed inside the notch 67. The sliding compartment 65 has a rectangular structure, is hollow inside, and has an upward opening. The sliding compartment 65 is longitudinally arranged in the compartment on the right side of the first storage drawer 6 and can slide out to the right from the notch 67.
[0045] The second cavity 11 contains a drawer-type second storage drawer 2. The first storage drawer 6 is taller and is used to store bottles and jars, while the second storage drawer 2 is shorter and is used to store cotton swabs, tweezers, and similar items.
[0046] The first storage drawer 6 has outward-facing limiting edges 61 on the front left and right sides and the bottom.
[0047] This storage box also includes a sliding push-pull assembly, which includes a fixed compartment 3. The fixed compartment 3 is composed of a rectangular plate, with forward-extending baffles fixedly connected to its top, bottom, and left side. These baffles are fused to the rear end of the box body 1, forming a structure where the fixed compartment 3 is closed at the front and open at the right end. The top and bottom walls inside the fixed compartment 3 are respectively provided with first sliding grooves 32 along the horizontal direction. A rectangular plastic plate slide 4 is installed inside the fixed compartment 3. The slide 4 is arranged horizontally, with its length matching the rectangular plate and its height located between the top and bottom of the rectangular plate. The slide 4 can slide left and right within the fixed compartment 3. The top and bottom of the slide 4 are respectively fixed with sliders 43 that match the two first sliding grooves 32. The sliders 43 have a cylindrical structure. Through the cooperation of the sliders 43 and the first sliding grooves 32, the slide 4 can be prevented from falling out of the fixed compartment 3 when it is pushed or pulled.
[0048] To facilitate pulling the skateboard 4 out of the fixed compartment 3, a push-pull groove 41 is provided on the right side of the front end of the skateboard 4. Medical staff can put their fingers into the push-pull groove 41 to increase the friction of pulling the skateboard 4, making it easier to pull the skateboard 4 out of the groove.
[0049] The front end of the slide plate 4 is equipped with several fixing clips 5. The fixing clips 5 have a semi-circular structure, similar to the clips used to hold broom handles. The rear end of the fixing clips 5 is integrally formed with a pad, and the rear end of the pad is fused to the front end of the slide plate 4. In this embodiment, the fixing clips 5 are arranged in pairs, equidistantly at different heights, for holding syringe-like items. The size of the fixing clips 5 can be adjusted according to the size of the syringe.
[0050] The first cavity 12 has a second sliding groove 13 on its left and right sides respectively. The front end of the second sliding groove 13 terminates at the front end of the box body 1 and the rear end terminates at the rear end of the box body 1. The first cavity 12 has a third sliding groove 14 on its bottom wall. The front end of the third sliding groove 14 terminates at the front end of the box body 1 and the rear end terminates at the rear end of the box body 1.
[0051] The third slide groove 14 has coaxially distributed countersunk holes on its left and right sides at its front end. A roller 7 is horizontally installed inside the third slide groove 14, with its ends positioned within the two countersunk holes to form a hinged connection, allowing the roller 7 to rotate freely. The rotating surface of the roller 7 is higher than the bottom wall of the first cavity 12 and contacts the bottom of the first storage drawer 6. Since the bottles and jars placed in the first storage drawer 6 are quite heavy, if the bottom of the first storage drawer 6 were in complete contact with the bottom of the first cavity 12, long-term pushing and pulling friction would easily lead to surface wear and roughness, thereby increasing the friction between the bottom of the first storage drawer 6 and the bottom of the first cavity 12, hindering the first storage drawer 6 from being pulled out of the box 1. Adding the roller 7 reduces the contact area between the bottom of the first storage drawer 6 and the bottom of the first cavity 12, and also improves the smoothness of pushing and pulling the first storage drawer 6 through the rolling motion of the roller 7.
[0052] The first storage drawer 6 has a first protruding edge on each of its rear left and right sides, facing the second slide groove 13 and extending into it, and a second protruding edge on its bottom, facing the third slide groove 14 and extending into it. When the first storage drawer 6 is pulled forward, the first protruding edge contacts the front end of the second slide groove 13, and the second protruding edge contacts the front end of the third slide groove 14, forming a limit to prevent the first storage drawer 6 from sliding out of the first cavity 12.
[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, a shoulder 68 is provided on the right side of the first storage drawer 6 and the front right side of the first convex edge. The front end face of the shoulder 68 contacts and limits the front end face of the second slide groove 13 on the right side of the first cavity 12.
[0054] The front and rear faces of the first storage drawer 6 are respectively provided with right-angled sliding grooves 66. The sliding groove 66 includes a horizontal groove segment 661 and a vertical groove segment 662. The horizontal groove segment 661 is arranged to the left, and the vertical groove segment 662 is arranged downward. The two sliding grooves 66 are located on the front and rear sides of the sliding compartment 65, respectively. They are used to constrain the movement trajectory of the sliding compartment 65 and prevent the sliding compartment 65 from sliding out of the notch 67.
[0055] The starting point of the sliding groove 66 on the front end face of the first storage drawer 6 is located at the connection between the right compartment and the partition 62. It extends to the right to the limiting edge 61 and then downwards, ending at the bottom of the limiting edge 61. The starting point of the sliding groove 66 on the rear end face of the first storage drawer 6 is located at the connection between the right compartment and the partition 62. It extends to the right to the left side of the first convex edge and the shoulder 68 and then downwards, ending at the bottom of the first convex edge.
[0056] Cylindrical sliding blocks 651 are fused to the left side of the front and rear ends of the sliding compartment 65, respectively. The two sliding blocks 651 are located within the grooves on the front and rear faces of the first storage drawer 6. When the sliding compartment 65 is within the notch 67, the sliding blocks 651 are at the starting point of the sliding groove 66. Pulling the sliding compartment 65 to the right moves the sliding blocks 651 along the transverse groove segment 661 until they reach the connection point of the transverse and longitudinal groove segments 662. At this point, the inner wall of the longitudinal groove segment 662 will prevent the sliding blocks 651 from moving further to the right, preventing the sliding compartment 65 from dislodging. At this time, the compartment on the right side of the first storage drawer 6 is offset from the sliding compartment 65, and there is a gap between the right end face of the first storage drawer 6 and the left end face of the sliding compartment 65. After the sliding compartment 65 is staggered from the compartment on the right side of the first storage drawer 6, it may affect the view of the slide plate 4 pulled out from the rear. Therefore, the longitudinal groove 662 can guide the sliding compartment 65 to move downward until it is flush with the bottom surface of the opening 67, so as to prevent the sliding compartment 65 from blocking the view of the slide plate 4.
[0057] In this embodiment, three transverse grooves 661 are provided, all of which are connected to the longitudinal grooves 662; correspondingly, three sliding blocks 651 are also provided, each located within a corresponding transverse groove 661. The purpose is to restrict the sliding compartment 65 from swinging toward the right end face of the first storage drawer 6 by using multiple sliding blocks 651.
[0058] At least one plastic first clamping spring 63 is fused to the left front end of the first storage drawer 6. The first clamping spring 63 contacts the left side wall of the box body 1 and, together with the left end face of the first storage drawer 6, clamps the right side of the first cavity 12, thus preventing the first storage drawer 6 from opening automatically through the friction of clamping. At the left front end and the left rear end of the second storage drawer 2, a plastic second clamping spring 21 is fused to each of them. The two second clamping springs 21 contact the front wall and the rear wall of the box body 1, respectively, and, together with the front end face of the second storage drawer 2, clamp the front and rear sides of the second cavity 11, thus preventing the second storage drawer 2 from opening automatically through the friction of clamping. At least one plastic third clamping spring 42 is fused to the right end of the slide plate 4. The third clamping spring 42 contacts the rear end face of the fixed compartment 3 and, together with the rear end face of the slide plate 4, clamps the rectangular plate of the fixed compartment 3, thus preventing the slide plate 4 from opening automatically through the friction of clamping.
[0059] The front section of the first clamping spring 63 is an arc-shaped piece 631, which adopts a spring-like design. The rear section is a clamping piece 632 of a certain length, used to increase the contact area of the surface of the component it is connected to. The end of the clamping piece 632 has a bend 633 to enlarge the opening. The structures of the second clamping spring 21 and the third clamping spring 42 are the same as those of the first clamping spring 63, the difference being their orientation. The structures of the first clamping spring 63, the second clamping spring 21, and the third clamping spring 42 can also be referenced from those of a shirt clip.
[0060] To limit the swing of the slide plate 4, a hollowed-out groove 31 is provided on the front end face of the rectangular plate of the fixed compartment 3. A cylindrical slide rod 44 is welded to the left side of the rear end face of the slide plate 4. The slide rod 44 passes through the groove and can slide along the groove. The rear end face of the slide rod 44 is provided with a flange. The front end face of the flange contacts the rear end face of the rectangular plate of the fixed compartment 3 to form a limit and prevent the slide rod 44 from coming out of the hollowed-out groove 31, thereby limiting the swing of the slide plate 4.
[0061] A horizontally arranged cylindrical first push-pull handle 64 is fixedly connected to the front end of the first storage drawer 6; a vertically arranged cylindrical second push-pull handle 22 is fixedly connected to the left end of the second storage drawer 2.
[0062] When using this storage box, first move it to the operating area, and then pull the first storage drawer 6 forward until it reaches its limit using the first push-pull handle 64. Then, pinch the right side wall of the sliding compartment 65 and pull it to the right. The sliding block 651 slides along the transverse groove 661 of the sliding groove 66 until it reaches the connection between the transverse and longitudinal groove 662. At this point, the sliding compartment 65 can no longer move to the right. Subsequently, the sliding block 651 can move downwards along the longitudinal groove 662 until the bottom slider 43 at the front and rear ends of the sliding compartment 65 contacts the bottom of the longitudinal groove 662, and the bottom of the sliding compartment 65 is flush with the bottom of the notch 67.
[0063] Then, pull the second storage drawer 2 to the left using the second push-pull handle 22. The second storage drawer 2 can be fixed in the second cavity 11 or removed and placed on the operating table. Finally, press your thumb into the push-pull groove 41 of the slide plate 4 and pull the slide plate 4 to the right until it reaches its limit. At this point, the first storage drawer 6 for storing bottles and jars, the second storage drawer 2 for storing cotton swabs and tweezers, and the slide plate 4 for storing syringes are all open. The various items are clearly distinguished and easily accessible.
[0064] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Various modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above under the concept of this application should be within the protection scope of this application.
