[0038] Example 1

[0039] In order to solve the problem that the matching relationship between the electric toothbrush and the electric toothbrush sterilization box 10 in the prior art is single and inconvenient to use, the present invention provides a toothbrush assembly.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the toothbrush assembly includes a toothbrush body 20 and a sterilization box 10, the toothbrush body 20 has a first alignment structure 90 and a first charging structure 1010, the sterilization box 10 has a charging area on its outer surface, and at least a portion of the handle 210 of the toothbrush body 20 can be placed inside the charging area, wherein the sterilization box 10 has a second charging structure 1030 and a second alignment structure 1020, the first charging structure 1010 cooperates with the second charging structure 1030 to realize the charging of the toothbrush body 20 by the sterilization box 10, and the second alignment structure 1020 cooperates with the first alignment structure 90 to limit the toothbrush body 20.

[0041] Specifically, in the toothbrush assembly of the present application, the toothbrush body 20 can be directly placed in the charging area on the outer surface of the sterilization box 10 for charging without the need for disassembly, thereby improving the convenience of use; and through the setting of the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020, it has the function of position correction; the toothbrush body 20 is positioned by the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020, so that the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 are aligned, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030.

[0042] Furthermore, the toothbrush body 20 is placed on the outer surface of the sterilization box 10 to achieve the technical effect of wireless charging, so that when used at home, it can be directly placed without disassembling the handle 210 and the brush head of the toothbrush body 20, so that charging and taking can be convenient; when it is necessary to go out, the handle 210 and the brush head of the toothbrush body 20 can be disassembled and placed inside the sterilization cavity inside the sterilization box 10.

[0043] Among them, at least one of the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 is a coil, that is, the means of wireless charging between the toothbrush body 20 and the sterilization box 10 of the present application is to set a transmitting coil on the sterilization box 10 and a receiving coil on the toothbrush body 20.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020 are magnetically matched. The first alignment structure 90 adopts a first magnetic component and the second alignment structure 1020 adopts a second magnetic component. The first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are magnetically matched. The first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can be magnets or electromagnets 50.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a limiting groove 111 is provided in the charging area. The limiting groove 111 provides a space for accommodating the handle 210 . The second charging structure 1030 and the second alignment structure 1020 are both provided in the limiting groove 111 .

[0046] Specifically, a limiting groove 111 is provided to realize installation and limiting of the handle 210. After the handle 210 is installed inside the limiting groove 111, the position of the handle 210 is corrected under the suction of the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020, so that the toothbrush body 20 is in the charging position, thereby improving the charging efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, the toothbrush body 20 has a charging position. When the toothbrush body 20 is in the charging position, the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 are aligned, and the second alignment structure 1020 and the first alignment structure 90 are aligned. When the toothbrush is in the non-charging position, the second alignment structure 1020 provides driving force for the toothbrush body 20 to rotate to the charging position.

[0048] It should be noted that when the toothbrush body 20 is manually moved into the limiting groove 111, there may be a phenomenon that the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 are not aligned when placed. At this time, suction is generated between the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020 to achieve the technical effect of correction, so that the toothbrush body 20 is rotated until the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 are aligned.

[0049] Among them, the groove wall surface of the limiting groove 111 is used as a guide surface to guide the handle 210, and the guide surface is adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the handle 210. The structural setting of the limiting groove 111 is adapted to the shape of the handle 210 of the toothbrush body 20.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first charging structure 1010 is arranged in the side area of ​​the toothbrush body 20, and the second charging structure 1030 is arranged on the bottom surface of the limiting groove 111. The toothbrush body 20 is placed horizontally. Under the guidance of the groove wall of the limiting groove 111, the toothbrush body 20 can rotate inside the limiting groove 111, thereby realizing the suction force between the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020, which can enable the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 to achieve alignment charging.

[0051] Furthermore, one end of the limiting groove 111 has an abutting surface that abuts against the end face of the handle 210 away from the brush head, and the other end has a through hole. When the handle 210 of the toothbrush body 20 is inside the limiting groove 111, the end face of the handle 210 abuts against the abutting surface, and the side face of the handle 210 is adapted to the peripheral side face of the limiting groove 111.

[0052] Furthermore, the depth of the limiting groove 111 is not less than one-fourth of the thickness of the handle 210 of the toothbrush body 20 to achieve a limiting effect. After a position difference is generated between the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020, the handle 210 is rotated inside the limiting groove 111 under the suction force of the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a first mounting groove 211 is provided on the inner peripheral wall surface of the toothbrush body 20 , and at least a portion of the first alignment structure 90 and the first charging structure 1010 are provided inside the first mounting groove 211 .

[0054] Specifically, the first installation groove 211 provides an installation space for the first alignment structure 90 and the first charging structure 1010 , thereby facilitating positional fixation of the first alignment structure 90 and the first charging structure 1010 .

[0055] Furthermore, the first alignment structure 90 has a first accommodating groove 910, and at least a portion of the first charging structure 1010 is located inside the first accommodating groove 910. By setting the first accommodating groove 910 on the first alignment structure 90 to limit the first charging structure 1010, further limiting the first charging structure 1010 is achieved.

[0056] Of course, the method is not limited to the above-mentioned method of disposing the first receiving groove 910 on the first charging structure 1010 . Alternatively, the first charging structure 1010 and the first alignment structure 90 may be disposed at intervals.

[0057] In this embodiment, to facilitate installation and positioning of the second charging structure 1030 and the second positioning structure, a second mounting groove 1111 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 111. The second alignment structure 1020 is connected to the inner wall of the second mounting groove 1111, and at least a portion of the second charging structure 1030 is disposed within the second mounting groove 1111. When the toothbrush body 20 is in the charging position, the first mounting groove 211 and the second mounting groove 1111 are aligned.

[0058] Furthermore, the second alignment structure 1020 has a second receiving groove 1021 opening toward the charging area, and at least a portion of the second charging structure 1030 is located within the second receiving groove 1021. The structural arrangement of the second receiving groove 1021 ensures stable installation between the alignment structure and the second charging structure 1030.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the toothbrush body 20 has an energy storage structure 70 inside, the first charging structure 1010 is electrically connected to the energy storage structure 70 , and at least another part of the first alignment structure 90 is connected to the outer wall surface of the energy storage structure 70 .

[0060] Specifically, in order to further position the first alignment structure 90 , the first alignment structure 90 is connected to the energy storage structure 70 to enhance the installation stability of the first alignment structure 90 .

[0061] Furthermore, at least a portion of the first alignment structure 90 is adhered to the outer wall surface of the energy storage structure 70 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the energy storage structure 70 is a battery, and the first alignment structure 90 is adhered to the outer wall surface of the battery.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the toothbrush body 20 is also provided with a magnetic structure 60 arranged on the same side as the first alignment structure 90, and the sterilization box 10 also includes an electromagnet 50 arranged inside the charging area. The magnetic structure 60 electromagnet 50 is used to provide a magnetic force that repels the magnetic structure 60.

[0064] Specifically, the magnetic structure 60 is arranged on the same side as the first alignment structure 90 , and when the electromagnet 50 is energized, a repulsive force is generated between the electromagnet 50 and the magnetic structure 60 , which provides a driving force for the toothbrush body 20 to be suspended inside the limiting groove 111 .

[0065] Furthermore, the electromagnet 50 has a power-on state and a power-off state. When the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 are aligned, the electromagnet 50 is in a power-on state, and the repulsive force between the electromagnet 50 and the magnetic structure 60 is greater than the attractive force between the first alignment structure 90 and the second alignment structure 1020, so that the toothbrush body 20 moves a first distance away from the outer surface of the sterilization box 10; when the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 are not aligned, the electromagnet 50 is in a power-off state.

[0066] Among them, when the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 are aligned, the toothbrush body 20 is in the charging position. At this time, the first charging structure 1010 and the second charging structure 1030 are electrically connected, so that the toothbrush body 20 is charged through the sterilization box 10.

[0067] It should be noted that during wireless charging, in order to improve the charging efficiency between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil, the distance between the two coils is kept between 3-5 mm. Due to the thickness of the toothbrush body 20, the first distance is between 1 mm and 3 mm.

[0068] In this embodiment, an electromagnet 50 is provided to cooperate with a magnetic structure 60 to provide a repulsive force, so that when the sterilization box 10 charges the toothbrush body 20, the toothbrush body 20 and the bottom surface of the limiting groove 111 do not fit together, and it is not easy to damage the contact surface, and the charging efficiency is also improved.

[0069] Furthermore, in order to control the on and off state of the electromagnet 50, the sterilization box 10 also includes a shell 110, a controller, a position sensor and a power supply. A charging area is set on the shell 110, and the controller is installed inside the shell 110. The controller is electrically connected to the second charging structure 1030 and the electromagnet 50. The position sensor is set on the shell 110. The position sensor is used to detect the position of the toothbrush body 20. The power supply is installed inside the shell 110, and the power supply is electrically connected to the controller and the position sensor.

[0070] When the position sensor detects that the first charging structure 1010 of the toothbrush body 20 is aligned with the second charging structure 1030 of the charging area, the controller controls the electromagnet 50 to be energized and controls the sterilization box 10 to charge the toothbrush body 20 .

[0071] In this embodiment, there are multiple magnetic structures 60 and they are spaced apart along the axial direction of the handle 210 of the toothbrush assembly, wherein the number of electromagnets 50 is one or more. When there is one electromagnet 50, one electromagnet 50 is used to cooperate with multiple magnetic structures 60. When there are multiple electromagnets 50, multiple electromagnets 50 are spaced apart and cooperate with multiple magnetic structures 60 one by one.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the toothbrush assembly further includes a wall-mounted bracket 30 , which has a supporting section 320 and a hanging section 310 arranged at an angle. The supporting section 320 is used to support the bottom surface of the shell 110 of the sterilization box 10 , and the hanging section 310 is used to connect with the shell 110 .

[0073] Specifically, the support section 320 and the hanging section 310 are arranged at an angle, and the sterilization box 10 is placed on the support section 320 and connected to the hanging section 310, thereby supporting and positioning the sterilization box 10, wherein the support section 320 is used to provide a supporting effect, further enhancing the stability of the installation of the sterilization box 10.

[0074] Furthermore, the hanging section 310 is not only used to connect with the sterilization box 10 to fix the sterilization box 10, but also can be connected to a fixed body, such as a wall, a table, etc.

[0075] Furthermore, the toothbrush assembly also includes an adsorption magnet 80 and double-sided tape 40. The adsorption magnet 80 is provided on both the hanging section 310 and the housing 110. The hanging section 310 and the housing 110 are magnetically connected via the adsorption magnet 80. The magnetic connection between the sterilization box 10 and the hanging section 310 facilitates the placement or removal of the sterilization box 10.

[0076] The housing 110 has a buckle 112 , and the adsorption magnet 80 is buckled onto the housing 110 via the buckle 112 .

[0077] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the connection between the hanging section 310 and the fixed body, the toothbrush assembly further includes a double-sided tape 40, which is provided on the hanging section 310. One adhesive surface of the double-sided tape 40 is bonded to the hanging section 310, and the other adhesive surface of the double-sided tape 40 is bonded to the fixed body, thereby achieving the purpose of bonding the hanging section 310 to the fixed body for positioning without damaging the fixed body.

[0078] In this embodiment, the attachment section 310 is provided with a through-hole, and the adsorption magnet 80 is mounted inside the through-hole. At least a portion of the adsorption magnet 80 is bonded to the double-sided tape 40. The through-hole is used to accommodate the adsorption magnet 80. To further ensure the stability of the installation of the adsorption magnet 80, the adhesive surface of the double-sided tape 40 bonded to the attachment section 310 covers the through-hole, so that the adsorption magnet 80 inside the through-hole is bonded to the adhesive surface, thereby securing the adsorption magnet 80.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] Different from the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the first charging structure 1010 and the first alignment structure 90 are not arranged inside the first accommodating groove 910. The first alignment structure 90 and the first charging structure 1010 are colinear and spaced apart along the axial direction of the toothbrush body 20.

[0081] In this embodiment, the second alignment structure 1020 is arranged corresponding to the first alignment structure 90, and the second charging structure 1030 is arranged corresponding to the first charging structure 1010, that is, the second alignment structure 1020 and the second charging structure 1030 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the limiting groove 111.

[0082] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0083] 1. In the toothbrush assembly of the present application, the toothbrush body 20 can be directly placed in the charging area on the outer surface of the sterilization box 10 for charging without disassembly, thereby improving the convenience of use;
