Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular to a toilet brush cleaner. Background Art
[0002] A toilet brush is a tool for cleaning a toilet. Whenever the toilet brush finishes cleaning the toilet, dirt may remain on the toilet brush, which is prone to breed bacteria. In order to solve the above problems, a device specifically used for cleaning toilet brushes has appeared on the market. For example, the Chinese patent document CN209186522U discloses a toilet brush combination that is easy to clean, which specifically discloses: a toilet brush body and a toilet cup, the toilet brush body includes a brush handle and a brush head connected to the end of the brush handle, characterized in that an inner cylinder for placing the toilet brush is provided inside the toilet cup, a plurality of drainage holes are provided at one end of the inner cylinder away from the brush handle, a plurality of cleaning plates for cleaning the toilet brush are connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder, a plurality of cleaning strips are fixedly connected to a side of the cleaning plate away from the inner cylinder, the cleaning strips protrude in a direction away from the inner cylinder, an adjustment component for moving the cleaning plate is provided between the inner cylinder and the cleaning plate, and the brush head is clamped between the plurality of cleaning plates. The toilet brush combination cooperates with each other through the cleaning plate, the cleaning strip and the adjustment component, and then rotates the toilet brush to make the bristles collide and rub against the cleaning strip, thereby cleaning the toilet brush. However, the disadvantages are: the overall structure is relatively complicated and the operation is relatively troublesome. After the toilet brush is cleaned, since the cleaning strip is not effectively cleaned in the later stage, dirt will remain on the cleaning strip, which will affect the next cleaning of the toilet brush. In addition, the service life is short. Users may even need to check the cleaning strip regularly, which makes the later maintenance troublesome and the user experience poor. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Summary of the invention
