Each water cup positioning mark 114 corresponds to a mouthwash liquid tank 111. The water cup positioning mark 114 includes a circular boss, a circular groove, or a circular flat icon. When the water cup positioning mark 114 is a circular boss, a water cup with a bottom provided with a fixed groove corresponding to the circular boss is required. When the water cup positioning mark 114 is a circular groove, a water cup with a bottom corresponding to the circular groove is required. When the water cup positioning mark 114 is a circular flat icon, the water cup only needs to be placed on the circular flat icon.

[0063] As Figure 6 shown, the toothpaste dispensing part 12 includes toothpaste barrels 121, toothpaste squeezing devices 122, brush head detection sensors 123, second valves 124, and toothbrush head positioning marks 125. The brush head detection sensor 123 is not shown in Figure 6 , and the position of the brush head detection sensor 123 is referenced to the position of the cup detection sensor 113. The toothpaste barrel 121 is four, used to hold different varieties of toothpaste, such as whitening, anti-cavity, etc. The number of toothpaste barrels 121 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. The number of toothpaste squeezing devices 122 is consistent with the number of toothpaste barrels 121, and the number of brush head detection sensors 123 is also consistent with the number of toothpaste barrels 121. The specific structure of the toothpaste barrel 121 is as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the toothpaste tube 121 is provided with a toothpaste opening, which is located at the bottom of the toothpaste tube 121. The toothpaste tube 121 comprises a tube body 121A, a screw rod 121B, a gasket 121C, a rotating part 121D and a tray 121E. The tube body 121A is cylindrical in shape, has a cylindrical cavity inside, is provided with a first protrusion at the bottom, and is provided with a toothpaste opening of the toothpaste tube 121 on the first protrusion for extruding toothpaste. The top of the tube body 121A is provided with a tube opening, and one or more guide rails are arranged on the inner wall of the tube body 121A. The lower part of the screw rod 121B is in a spiral structure, and the upper part is in a columnar structure. The screw rod 121B vertically extends into the cylindrical cavity from the tube opening at the top of the tube body 121A. The rotating part 121D is located above the tube body 121A, and the bottom of the rotating part 121D is provided with a first groove, into which the upper part of the screw rod 121B is inserted, so as to realize the fixed connection between the screw rod 121B and the rotating part 121D. The tray 121C is arranged in the cylindrical cavity and is in a cylindrical structure, comprising an extrusion disc at the upper part and a tray wall surrounding the extrusion disc. The extrusion disc is provided with a spiral hole corresponding to the screw rod 121B in the middle, and the screw rod 121B passes through the spiral hole to rotatably connect the screw rod 121B and the tray 121C. The outer wall of the tray wall is provided with a first guide groove corresponding to the guide rail, so that when the rotating part 121D rotates to drive the screw rod 121B to rotate, the tray 121C moves downward along the guide rail. The gasket 121E is arranged in the cylindrical cavity and above the tray 121C. The gasket 121E is cylindrical in shape and is provided with a circular insertion hole in the middle, through which the columnar structure at the upper part of the screw rod 121B passes. The outer wall of the gasket 121E is provided with a second guide groove corresponding to the guide rail. The gasket 121E can keep the screw rod 121B in a vertical state at all times and prevent the screw rod 121B from tilting during rotation. Figure 9 As shown, when the toothpaste tube 121 is not used, the amount of toothpaste is the largest at this time, the tray 121C is located above the tube body 121A, and there is no gap between the tray 121C and the gasket 121E. Figure 10As shown, when the toothpaste tube 121 is used, the rotation of the rotating part 121D drives the screw rod 121B to rotate, so that the tray 121C continuously moves downward to squeeze out the toothpaste, and the distance between the tray 121C and the gasket 121E becomes larger and larger. In this scheme, the rotation of the rotating part 121D causes the toothpaste to be squeezed out. Preferably, the rotating part 121D is rotated by the toothpaste squeezing device 122 in a mechanical manner, so as to squeeze out the toothpaste in the toothpaste tube 121. The toothpaste squeezing device 122 is arranged above the toothpaste tube 121. Specifically, the following two schemes can be adopted: (1) The top of the rotating part 121D is provided with a second groove, and the toothpaste squeezing device 122 is a first motor, which extends into the second groove and drives the rotating part 121D to rotate. The groove is a special-shaped groove with a square or other non-circular structure, preferably a quadrilateral or hexagonal structure. The special-shaped groove with a square or other non-circular structure can eliminate the need for a limiting structure; (2) The rotating part 121D has a cylindrical structure, and the outer surface of the rotating part 121D has a gear structure. The toothpaste squeezing device 122 includes a second motor and a rotating gear, the second motor is fixedly connected with the rotating gear and drives the rotating gear to rotate, and the rotating gear is engaged with the outer surface of the rotating part 121D. As a preferred embodiment, the toothpaste squeezing device 122 further includes a Hall sensor, which is used to record the number of rotations of the first motor or the second motor and transmit the number to the cloud server 2. The cloud server 2 records the toothpaste usage of the toothpaste tube 121 through the number of rotations. Although the usage of toothpaste can be known according to the oral cavity cleaning prescription, the number of rotations of the motor cannot completely guarantee that the squeezed amount is exactly the same as the amount of the prescription. Therefore, by recording the number of rotations of the motor, the usage of toothpaste can be recorded more accurately. The brush head positioning mark 125 is located directly below the opening of the toothpaste tube 121, and is used to prompt the user to place the brush head at the accurate position. The brush head detection sensor 123 is arranged near the opening of the toothpaste, and is used to detect whether the brush head is placed directly below the opening of the toothpaste. The second valve 124 is arranged near the opening of the toothpaste, and has a function similar to that of a cover. When the toothpaste is not used, the second valve 124 is closed to prevent the toothpaste from flowing out of the opening of the toothpaste. The brush head positioning mark 125 includes a circular boss, a circular groove or a circular planar icon. The brush head positioning mark 125 is a plurality of marks, and each mark corresponds to one toothpaste tube 121.

[0064] As shown in Figure 11 The disinfection device 16 is arranged at the upper part of the intelligent dental kit 1, and the disinfection device 16 is a cavity. A plurality of brush head placing grooves are arranged at the bottom of the cavity, and a disinfection lamp is arranged at one side or the top of the brush head placing grooves. Photocatalyst material is arranged in the cavity, and is used to sterilize the air in the cavity. A drying lamp is further arranged in the cavity, and is used to dry the brush head. A ventilation channel is arranged in the disinfection device 16, and the ventilation channel is in communication with a ventilation opening on the outer surface of the intelligent dental kit 1.

[0065] As shown in Figure 12As shown, the control system 14 comprises a transmission device 141, a prompting device 142, an identification device 143, a brush head recording device 144, a mouthwash recording device 145, a toothpaste cylinder recording device 146, a disinfection recording device 147, and an air quality detection device 148. The transmission device 141 is communicatively connected with the camera 13 and the thermometer 15, and is also communicatively connected with the cloud server 2, for sending the data recorded by the camera 14 and the thermometer 15 to the cloud server 2, and for receiving the data transmitted by the cloud server 2, including the oral cleaning prescription, the toothbrush head information, the toothpaste cylinder information, and the mouthwash liquid tank information. The prompting device 142 is used for prompting the user to clean the oral cavity according to the oral cleaning prescription. The prompting device 142 comprises a display screen, and / or a voice prompting device, and / or an indicator light. The display screen can adopt an interactive screen, such as Figure 11As shown, it is located at the top of the smart toothbrush case 1. The identification device 143 is communicatively connected to the transmission device 141 and the prompting device 142 within the control system 14. It is also communicatively connected to the first valve 112, the cup detection sensor 113, the toothpaste squeezing device 122, the brush head detection sensor 123, and the second valve 124 outside the control system 14.
