Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of daily necessities technology and relates to a dental floss box. Background Technology
[0002] Dental floss picks are tools used in daily oral hygiene to remove food debris from between teeth. Traditional dental floss picks are packaged in boxes or multiple plastic bags. Opening the box or removing the pick from the bag each time you use them can easily expose you to unused picks, which is unhygienic and can lead to bacterial contamination. Therefore, dental floss boxes were developed to store dental floss picks. During use, the box dispenses one pick at a time, improving both hygiene and convenience.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN213130028U discloses a portable dental floss box, including a shell, a sliding component and an elastic element disposed within the shell. The shell has a strip-shaped hole and an opening. The sliding component passes through the strip-shaped hole and extends to the outside of the shell. The sliding component can move along the length direction of the strip-shaped hole. The dental floss stick is disposed between the sliding component and the elastic element, and the dental floss stick is pressed against the sliding component under the elastic action of the elastic element. A push hook is also provided on the side of the sliding component facing the elastic element. The sliding component includes a sliding plate disposed within the shell and a button disposed on the outer surface of the shell. The sliding plate and the button are connected. The sliding plate extends along the length direction of the strip-shaped hole, and the push hook is disposed on the side of the sliding plate opposite to the button. When the sliding component moves to a first position relative to the strip-shaped hole, both the dental floss stick and the sliding component are located inside the shell. When the sliding component moves to a second position relative to the strip-shaped hole, the sliding component slides out through the opening to the outside of the shell, and at the same time, the push hook pushes the dental floss stick closest to the sliding component to slide out through the opening to the outside of the shell. This design makes it easy to carry, prevents contamination of other unused dental floss sticks, and is beneficial for oral hygiene.
[0004] However, the existing dental floss boxes have the following defects during use: because the floss picks are constantly pressed against the lower surface of the sliding plate by the elastic element, when the sliding plate of the sliding assembly moves back and forth, the floss picks are subjected to friction from the sliding plate. During the movement, the position of the floss picks is easily offset from the position of the output port. This may cause the push hook on the sliding plate to push the floss picks out, which may cause jamming or even blockage, resulting in poor reliability of the dental floss box. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a dental floss box. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is how to improve the reliability of the dental floss box.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A dental floss box includes a box body with an outlet, a pressing member disposed at the bottom of the box body for pressing down the dental floss sticks, and a seat cover fixedly connected to the opening of the box body. A push block is slidably disposed on the seat cover. The lower surface of the push block is located inside the box body and has a push hook on the lower surface. The characteristic is that the lower surface of the seat cover has a strip-shaped protrusion protruding towards the pressing member. The protrusion is disposed adjacent to the push block. The outer end of the protrusion extends along the sliding direction of the push block to a position close to the outlet. The height of the lower surface of the protrusion is between the lower surface of the push block and the lowest part of the push hook.
[0007] Unlike existing technologies where floss picks are pressed against the pusher block, this invention improves the reliability of the floss box by changing the pressing position of the floss picks, preventing them from shifting due to the movement of the pusher block. Specifically, a strip-shaped protrusion facing the pressing element is designed on the lower surface of the cover. This protrusion is adjacent to the pusher block, with its outer end extending along the sliding direction of the pusher block to near the outlet. The lower surface of this protrusion is positioned between the lower surface of the pusher block and the lowest point of the push hook. This ensures that the floss picks, when pressed by the pressing element, are pressed against the protrusion instead of the pusher block. This prevents the lower surface of the pusher block from rubbing against the floss picks during its movement, thus preventing the floss picks from shifting relative to the outlet. This ensures the floss picks follow the designed path and are pushed out of the outlet normally via the push hook, preventing jamming or even stuck floss picks during output and significantly improving the reliability of the floss box.
[0008] In the aforementioned dental floss holder, the cover has a strip-shaped hole, the pusher is slidably disposed within the strip-shaped hole, the inner end of the protruding strip is away from the inner end of the strip-shaped hole, and the outer end of the protruding strip extends along the length of the strip-shaped hole to near the outlet. This design of the positions of the inner and outer ends of the protruding strip ensures that the floss pick is always supported by the protruding strip during its output movement, thus helping to ensure stable floss output and improving the reliability of the dental floss holder.
[0009] In the aforementioned floss holder, there are two raised strips distributed on both sides of the pusher block. This design ensures the stability of the floss pick pressing against the raised strips without affecting the normal operation of the pusher block, thereby helping to ensure stable floss pick output and improving the reliability of the floss holder.
[0010] In the aforementioned dental floss box, the lower surface of the seat cover has guide plates one and two, spaced apart along the sliding direction of the pusher. Both guide plates one and two extend downwards to near the bottom of the box. Guide plate one has a guide opening one that extends through to the lower end, and guide plate two has a guide opening two that extends through to the lower end. With this guide plate and guide opening design, during use, the two ends of the dental floss stick placed inside the box are respectively positioned within guide opening one and guide opening two. In other words, with this design, under the action of the pressing component, the two ends of the dental floss stick can be pushed upwards one by one onto the protrusion through the guiding action of guide opening one and guide opening two, ensuring that the dental floss stick does not deviate during the pressing movement. This facilitates ensuring that the dental floss stick can be accurately output from the outlet according to the preset path, improving the reliability of the dental floss box.
[0011] In the aforementioned dental floss box, the pusher is H-shaped, and the side of the base cover has a mounting opening adapted to the shape of the pusher. The outer end of the strip-shaped hole extends to the mounting opening and communicates with it. This pusher shape design allows for more stable sliding, thus improving the reliability of the dental floss box. Furthermore, the mounting opening design makes installation of the pusher convenient; simply sliding the pusher into the mounting opening achieves a sliding engagement with the strip-shaped hole.
[0012] In the aforementioned dental floss box, the pressure element is either a spring or a spring sheet. Both the spring sheet and the spring sheet, as pressure elements, can provide stable pressure to the floss picks, ensuring stable floss output and improving the reliability of the dental floss box.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this dental floss box has the following advantages: Through the improved design of the convex strip structure, the dental floss sticks are pressed against the convex strip instead of against the lower surface of the push block, thereby avoiding the influence of the push block movement on the dental floss sticks, ensuring that the dental floss sticks can be accurately output from the outlet, and greatly improving the reliability of the dental floss box.
