[0004] At present, toilet brushes with quick-change brush blocks all use a claw structure to grab the brush block. The claw structure involves multiple transmission parts, has a complex structure, requires high assembly precision, and is difficult to assemble. In addition, the claw structure is easily damaged, resulting in failure to effectively grab and release the brush block. Therefore, the existing toilet brushes with quick-change brush blocks can be further improved. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a toilet brush with a new brush block grabbing structure that is convenient for replacing the brush block in view of the above-mentioned existing technical status, and the structure is more reasonable and simple, the assembly is convenient, and the cost is low.

This structural design can quickly replace the brush block. When in use, first move the plug to the position of blocking the exhaust port of the exhaust channel, press the suction cup to the film, and the air in the inner cavity of the suction cup is discharged. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the suction cup can suck the brush block; after use, the plug moves to the exhaust port position away from the exhaust channel, the inner cavity of the suction cup is connected to the outside world, the suction cup no longer sucks the brush block, and the brush block is separated from the suction cup.

[0008] Preferably, the joint is plugged into the lower port of the brush handle, the plug is disposed in the brush handle and can slide axially, the plug can block the exhaust port of the exhaust channel when it moves axially downward, and the plug can open the exhaust port of the exhaust channel when it moves axially upward. This structure blocks the exhaust port of the exhaust channel by the axial sliding of the plug in the brush handle, which is conducive to the layout and control of the sliding of the plug.

[0009] As an improvement, the upper end of the joint is provided with a concave receiving cavity for inserting the plug, the exhaust port of the exhaust channel is connected to the bottom surface of the receiving cavity, and after the plug enters the receiving cavity, the outer periphery of the plug cooperates with the receiving cavity to form a seal. The provision of the receiving cavity enables the plug to better seal the exhaust port of the exhaust channel, with a better sealing effect and enhanced suction force of the suction cup.

[0010] In order to further enhance the effect of the plug in blocking the exhaust passage, the lower end of the plug is in a pointed cone shape, and the pointed cone portion of the plug can be inserted into the exhaust port of the exhaust passage.

[0011] In order to facilitate the sliding operation of the plug, a pull rod capable of axial sliding is provided in the brush handle. The plug is fixed at the lower end of the pull rod. The pull rod is kept moving downward to block the exhaust port of the exhaust channel by the action of a spring. A handle is provided on the pull rod, which reveals the brush handle for people to operate and pull up the pull rod. In addition, under the action of the spring, the plug keeps blocking the exhaust port of the exhaust channel under normal conditions. The pull rod needs to be operated only when the brush block is to be replaced or discarded. This design is more reasonable.

[0012] As an improvement, the pull rod is constrained in the brush handle by the rib groove limiting structure and can only slide axially, ensuring that the pull rod slides smoothly and is not prone to shaking.

[0013] To facilitate assembly, the brush handle is tubular, the upper opening of the brush handle is provided with a plug for sealing, and the spring is arranged between the pull rod and the plug.

[0014] For easy holding, an extension handle is sleeved on the upper end of the brush handle.

This structure can connect the three parts together through the plug, has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: the toilet brush absorbs the film arranged on the top surface of the brush block through the suction cup arranged at the lower end of the brush handle, and the connection between the brush block and the brush handle is realized through the adsorption of the suction cup. The structure is simpler and no complicated claw structure is required. At the same time, when detaching, the brush block and the suction cup can be detached by allowing air to enter the inner cavity of the suction cup again. The brush block is easy to detach, which is conducive to discarding and replacing the brush block. The setting of the film is conducive to adsorption with the suction cup, and the adsorption is more reliable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The suction cup 3 is provided with an exhaust hole 31 connected to the suction cup inner cavity 32, and the joint 4 is provided with an exhaust channel 41 connected to the exhaust hole.

[0025] It also includes a movable plug 5 that can block the exhaust port of the exhaust channel 41 . The movement of the plug 5 can determine whether it blocks the exhaust port of the exhaust channel 41 .

[0026] The plug 5 in this embodiment is arranged in the brush handle 1 and can slide axially. The plug 5 can block the exhaust port of the exhaust channel 41 when it moves axially downward, and open the exhaust port of the exhaust channel 41 when it moves axially upward.

[0027] The upper end of the joint 4 is provided with a concave accommodating cavity 42 for inserting the plug, the exhaust port of the exhaust channel 41 is connected to the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 42, and after the plug 5 enters the accommodating cavity 42, the outer periphery of the plug cooperates with the accommodating cavity 42 to form a seal.

[0028] The lower end of the plug 5 is in a pointed cone shape, and the pointed cone portion of the plug 5 can be inserted into the exhaust port of the exhaust passage 41 .

[0029] A pull rod 6 capable of axial sliding is provided in the brush handle 1. The pull rod 6 is constrained in the brush handle 1 by a rib groove limiting structure and can only slide axially. The plug 5 is a soft rubber plug, which is sleeved and fixed on the lower end of the pull rod 6. The pull rod 6 is kept moving downward to block the exhaust port of the exhaust channel 41 by the action of a spring 7. A handle 61 is provided on the pull rod 6, and the handle 61 exposes the brush handle 1 for a person to operate and pull up the pull rod 6. The upper end opening of the brush handle 1 is sealed with a plug 8, and the spring 7 is provided between the pull rod 6 and the plug 8.
