Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental floss box technology, specifically a push-to-dispense dental floss box. Background Technology

[0002] Maintaining clean and healthy teeth is crucial for overall health, benefiting countless individuals. Proper oral hygiene alleviates most dental problems, maintains periodontal health, and reduces the risk of other dental-related diseases. Since toothbrushes can only reach about 70% of the upper surface of teeth and are inconvenient to carry, while toothpicks are too thick to reach deep into the gaps between teeth, their cleaning effect is significantly reduced. Dental floss, on the other hand, conveniently and effectively removes food debris from between teeth and plaque from the interdental surfaces. Therefore, people typically use floss picks in conjunction with a toothbrush for oral hygiene.

[0003] Currently, traditional dental floss is typically stored in a floss box containing dozens of floss pieces. When retrieving the floss, the floss is usually pulled out through the bottom opening of the box by gravity. However, since the floss outlet is located at the bottom of the box, it is inconvenient for users to handle the floss, and their hands are prone to touching the table surface. This can lead to hand contamination, especially when there is water or dirt on the table surface, which can indirectly affect oral hygiene. Therefore, a push-to-dispense dental floss box is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a push-to-discharge dental floss box that can solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a push-to-dispense dental floss box, comprising a housing, with outlets on both side walls of the housing, a first button and a second button on the housing, an extrusion assembly below the first and second buttons, an upper push assembly inside the housing, a guide shell fixed in the inner wall of the housing, the upper push assembly for pushing the dental floss body upward, and a fixing assembly inside the housing. The extrusion assembly includes: A movable plate is slidably connected to the top inner wall of the housing. An inclined groove is provided on the movable plate, and an inclined block is fixedly connected to the movable plate. An extrusion strip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate. When the extrusion strip slides, it can extrude the U-shaped elastic element to open. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the U-shaped elastic element. The ejector is slidably connected to the top inner wall of the housing, and the ejector is elastically connected to the movable plate by a torsion spring.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the ejector is designed as a trapezoidal block. When the moving plate moves toward the U-shaped elastic member, it can drive the ejector to compress the torsion spring. After the torsion spring is reset, the bottom trapezoidal block of the ejector can eject the dental floss.

[0007] Preferably, a wedge block is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the button, and a spring is sleeved on the wedge block. By pressing the button, the wedge block can be driven to descend, thereby driving the two sets of moving plates to move and allowing the dental floss to be discharged from the two outlets.

[0008] Preferably, a wedge block two is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the button two, and a spring two is sleeved on the wedge block two. By pressing the button two, the wedge block two can be driven to descend, thereby driving a set of moving plates to move, so that a set of outlets can discharge dental floss.

[0009] Preferably, the top assembly includes a support member, and a snap-fit ​​member is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support member. The support member is elastically connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing by a spring.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing component includes a fixing block, a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block, a vertical plate is slidably connected to the top of the fixing block, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical plate, and the fixing plate and the inner surface of the connecting sleeve are elastically connected by a spring.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the fixing block and the bottom of the vertical plate are both designed to be inclined. The fixing block is fixed to the connecting rod. The surface of the vertical plate has multiple sets of slots, and the slots match the connecting parts.

[0012] This utility model provides a push-to-dispense dental floss box. It has the following advantages: (1) This push-to-dispense dental floss box solves the problem of the cumbersome process of opening the lid to retrieve floss in traditional dental floss boxes by using a collaborative design of the extrusion component and two buttons. Pressing button two drives a set of moving plates, which, through the linkage of the tilting block and the extrusion strip, open the U-shaped elastic element of the corresponding outlet, and push out a single piece of floss when the torsion spring returns to its original position. Pressing button one drives two sets of moving plates to achieve simultaneous floss dispensing from both outlets. There is no need to open the box; floss can be retrieved simply by pressing. The operation is simple and quick, especially suitable for scenarios such as when traveling or in the office where convenient oral cleaning is required. This greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of floss retrieval. This method allows users to easily retrieve floss from the top opening of the dental floss box, avoiding contact between hands and the table, preventing hand contamination, and improving the overall user experience.

[0013] (2) The push-out type dental floss box ensures a continuous and stable supply of dental floss through the cooperation of the top component and the fixing component. Under the action of the spring, the support of the top component can push the dental floss body upward as the dental floss is consumed, always keeping the dental floss in a position that is easy to squeeze out, and avoiding difficulty in taking out the floss due to insufficient dental floss.

[0017] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-14 This utility model proposes a press-to-dispense dental floss box, including a housing 1, with outlets 2 on both side walls of the housing 1, a first button 3 and a second button 4 on the housing 1, an extrusion assembly 5 below the first button 3 and the second button 4, an upper push assembly 6 inside the housing 1, a guide shell 7 fixed in the inner wall of the housing 1, the upper push assembly 6 for pushing the dental floss body 8 upward, and a fixing assembly 9 inside the housing 1.

[0020] In an embodiment of this utility model, the extrusion assembly 5 includes a movable plate 51, an extrusion bar 54, and an ejector 57. The movable plate 51 is slidably connected to the inner top wall of the housing 1. An inclined groove 52 is provided on the movable plate 51, and an inclined block 53 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 51. The extrusion bar 54 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 51. When the extrusion bar 54 slides, it can squeeze the U-shaped elastic member 55 to open. A connecting rod 56 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the U-shaped elastic member 55. The ejector 57 is slidably connected to the inner top wall of the housing 1. The ejector 57 and the movable plate 51 are elastically connected by a torsion spring 58. The bottom of the ejector 57 is designed as a trapezoidal block. When the movable plate 51 moves toward the U-shaped elastic member 55, it can drive the ejector 57 to compress the torsion spring 58 and move. After the torsion spring 58 is reset, the bottom trapezoidal block of the ejector 57 can eject the dental floss.

[0021] Furthermore, the upper component 6 includes a support member 61, and a snap-fit ​​member 62 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support member 61. The support member 61 is elastically connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing 1 by a spring 63. Under the action of the spring 63, the support member 61 can push the dental floss body 8 upward as the dental floss is consumed, always keeping the dental floss in a position that is easy to squeeze out, and avoiding difficulty in picking up the floss due to insufficient dental floss.

[0022] Furthermore, the fixing component 9 includes a fixing block 91, a connecting sleeve 92 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 91, a vertical plate 93 slidably connected to the top of the fixing block 91, a fixing plate 94 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical plate 93, and the fixing plate 94 and the inner surface of the connecting sleeve 92 are elastically connected by a spring 95. The top of the fixing block 91 and the bottom of the vertical plate 93 are both inclined. The fixing block 91 is fixed to the connecting rod 56. The surface of the vertical plate 93 has multiple sets of slots, and the slots match the snap-fit ​​parts 62.

[0023] During the removal process, the vertical plate 93 moves away from the locking member 62, causing the locking member 62 to disengage from the slot. This releases the limiting state of the support member 61, which moves upward under the action of the spring 63, pushing out one piece of dental floss. After one piece of dental floss is removed, the support member 61, under the action of the spring 63, drives the locking member 62 to move upward. After the locking member 62 engages with the slot, it can maintain the stability of the support member 61 and prevent the support member 61 from continuously squeezing the dental floss. When it is necessary to place the dental floss, the top cover of the housing 1 is opened and the dental floss is placed. During this process, the support member 61 moves downward. The wedge-shaped design of the locking member 62 and the slot allows the locking member 62 to move downward. After placement, the dental floss will not be pushed out due to the limiting effect of the slot on the locking member 62, ensuring the stability of the dental floss placement.

[0024] In the embodiments of this utility model, see Figure 13 A wedge block 31 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of button 3. A spring 32 is sleeved on the wedge block 31. By pressing button 3, the wedge block 31 is driven to descend, which in turn drives the two sets of moving plates 51 to move towards the U-shaped elastic member 55. This can drive the pusher 57 to compress the torsion spring 58 and move it. At the same time, the extrusion bar 54 squeezes the U-shaped elastic member 55 to open it, which drives the connecting rod 56 to move, which in turn drives the vertical plate 93 to move, causing the snap-fit ​​member 62 to disengage from the slot. This causes the support member 61 to push the dental floss upward to the bottom of the pusher 57. Then, when button 3 is released, the torsion spring 58 returns to its original position, and the trapezoidal block at the bottom of the pusher 57 can push out the dental floss, so that the dental floss is discharged from both sets of outlets 2.

[0025] In the embodiments of this utility model, see Figure 14A wedge block 41 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of button 4. A spring 42 is sleeved on the wedge block 41. By pressing button 4, the wedge block 41 is driven to descend, which in turn drives a group of moving plates 51 to move towards the U-shaped elastic member 55. This can drive the push-out member 57 to compress the torsion spring 58 and move it, so that a group of outlets 2 can discharge dental floss. The operation is convenient.

[0026] The above method of floss collection allows users to easily remove floss from the two outlets at the top of the floss box, avoiding contact between hands and the table, preventing hand contamination, and improving the effectiveness of the product.

[0027] It should be noted that the above electrical components are all existing technology products. Those skilled in the art should select, install, and complete the circuit debugging work according to the needs of use to ensure that all electrical appliances can work normally. The components are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art.

The standard parts used in this application can all be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part are all connected by conventional means such as riveting and welding that are mature in the prior art. The standard parts are all conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art.

[0028] When in use, press button 3 or button 4 according to the need for flossing. When button 3 is pressed, the wedge block 31 descends, which in turn moves the two sets of moving plates 51 toward the U-shaped elastic member 55. This causes the ejector 57 to compress the torsion spring 58 and move. At the same time, the squeezing bar 54 squeezes the U-shaped elastic member 55 to open, causing the connecting rod 56 to move, which in turn moves the vertical plate 93, causing the locking member 62 to disengage from the slot. This causes the support member 61 to push the floss upward to the bottom of the ejector 57. Then, release button 3, the torsion spring 58 returns to its original position, and the bottom trapezoidal block of the ejector 57 can push out the floss, allowing the floss to be discharged from both outlets 2. When button 4 is pressed, the wedge block 41 descends, which in turn moves the set of moving plates 51 toward the U-shaped elastic member 55. This causes the ejector 57 to compress the torsion spring 58 and move, allowing the floss to be discharged from both outlets 2.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
