Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 5 In an embodiment of the present invention, an electric toothbrush of extruded toothpaste type includes a brush handle 1 and a brush barrel 2, the brush handle 1 is detachably mounted on the upper end of the brush barrel 2, bristles 11 are arranged on the outer portion of the upper end of the brush handle 1, a connecting hole 12 is opened at the other end of the brush handle 1 to form an internal hollow structure of the brush handle 1, one end of the connecting hole 12 extends to the bristles 11 to form a passage, a first one-way valve 13 is arranged at one end of the connecting hole 12 close to the bristles 11, a one-way output end of the first one-way valve 13 faces the bristles 11, a material chamber 21 is arranged inside the brush barrel 2 for storing paste, a piston 22 is arranged inside the material chamber 21, an exhaust hole 23 is arranged at the bottom of the brush barrel 2 to communicate with the material chamber 21, the opening of the material chamber 21 close to one end of the brush handle 1 is connected to the connecting hole 12 to form a communicating area, the brush handle 1 is provided with a pressing pump 24, the pressing pump 24 is detachably mounted in the brush handle 1 to generate negative pressure in the connecting hole 12, thereby absorbing the paste in the material chamber 21 and delivering it to the bristles 11;

[0040] The pressing pump 24 is inserted into the connecting hole 12, and the pressing pump 24 is an internal hollow structure. A second one-way valve 2411 is formed at one end of the pressing pump 24. The pressing pump 24 is an internal hollow structure. The pressing pump 24 is provided with a third one-way valve 2423. The third one-way valve 2423 is embedded in the pressing pump 24, and the one-way output end of the third one-way valve 2423 faces the bristles 11. A protrusion is formed outwardly on the inside of the pressing pump 24 as a pressing block 2412 for pressing. A pressing port 14 is provided on the handle surface of the brush handle 1 close to the pressing block 2412 for exposing the pressing block 2412.

[0041] Working principle of this embodiment: The operator presses the pressing block 2412 so that the air in the connecting hole 12 is squeezed and passes through the second one-way valve 2411 and then passes through the first one-way valve 13 to discharge the brush handle 1, thereby forming a negative pressure inside the brush handle 1. Since the connecting hole 12 is connected to the material chamber 12, the material chamber 2 also forms a negative pressure. In this case, the piston 22 moves toward the bristles 11 to push the paste in the material chamber 2 to the end of the bristles 11. After a period of use, the piston 22 moves to the upper end of the material chamber 21, and the paste in the material chamber 21 is used up. The operator can buy commercially available toothpaste to refill the material chamber 21, align the toothpaste mouth with the material chamber 21, and squeeze the toothpaste so that the paste enters the material chamber 21. The piston 22 located in the material chamber 21 is pushed downward by the paste feeding, so that the air at the lower end of the piston 22 is discharged from the exhaust hole 23. When the piston 22 is pushed by the paste feed and moves to the lower end of the material chamber 21, the material feeding of the material chamber 21 is completed.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the brush handle 1 is a hard rubber part, and a soft rubber tube (not shown in the figure) can be arranged in the connecting hole 12 inside the brush handle 1. One end of the soft rubber tube (not shown in the figure) is sleeved on the output end of the second one-way valve 2411, so that the paste can be output from the second one-way valve 2411 to the soft rubber tube (not shown in the figure), and the other end of the soft rubber tube (not shown in the figure) extends to the bristles 11 so that the paste can be squeezed from the soft rubber tube (not shown in the figure) to the bristles 11. Then, the first one-way valve 13 is installed at the other end of the soft rubber tube (not shown in the figure) to prevent waterproofing and avoid backflow of the paste. The connecting hole 12 can be used to install the soft rubber part so that the paste can be transported to the bristles 11. The soft rubber part can have a good sealing effect to prevent leakage of the paste.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present invention, the connecting hole 13 can also be directly used as a conveying channel for the paste. The operator generates negative pressure inside the brush handle 1 by pressing the pressing block 2412. The material chamber 21 located in the brush tube 2 and at atmospheric pressure is affected by the negative pressure and drives the piston 22 to move toward the bristles 11, thereby pushing the paste. The paste is conveyed from the third one-way valve 24223 to the second one-way valve 2411, and then from the second one-way valve 2411 to the connecting hole 12. The paste can be conveyed to the bristles 11 through the connecting hole 12.
