Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oral health care technology, and more specifically, it relates to a toothpaste and its processing system and method. Background Technology
[0002] Regular solid toothpaste, as a daily oral hygiene product, can cause tooth abrasion while cleaning teeth, with the fineness of the abrasive particles particularly affecting the degree of gum wear. Liquid toothpaste, on the other hand, is a departure from traditional soft toothpaste. While retaining the excellent effects of traditional toothpaste, it can quickly penetrate between teeth, covering the entire tooth surface to effectively remove plaque, thoroughly clean teeth, and leave them whiter and healthier. However, liquid toothpaste needs to be used with a spray toothbrush, and purchasing a spray toothbrush separately is an additional expense. Furthermore, liquid toothpaste usually needs to be poured into the spray toothbrush after purchase, which introduces some inconvenience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a toothpaste and its processing system and method, the beneficial effect of which is that the present invention can produce low-cost one-piece brushable toothpaste.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] A toothpaste processing system includes a housing, a conveyor belt installed inside the housing, a shelf fixed inside the housing, a plurality of push blocks slidably connected to the upper side of the shelf, and a plurality of loading frames placed on the conveyor belt.
[0006] Each of the aforementioned carrying frames has a storage slot on its upper side, the bottom of which is a conical surface with a bottom hole at the bottom end.
[0007] Each of the multiple loading frames has a slot on its lower side, and each of the multiple slots has multiple through lines. Each of the multiple push blocks has a corresponding insertion hole on its upper part, and each insertion hole has a through hole on its lower side.
[0008] The outer sides of all of the aforementioned slots are chamfered.
[0009] A toothpaste processing method, the method comprising the following steps:
[0010] S1: Place the basic toothpaste tube into the processing system and start the processing system;
[0011] S2: The toothpaste fixing component is assembled inside the basic toothpaste shell using a processing system to obtain a semi-finished toothpaste shell;
[0012] S3: Fill the semi-finished toothpaste shell with liquid toothpaste;
[0013] S4: Assemble the toothpaste movable parts on the upper side of the semi-finished toothpaste shell to obtain the finished toothpaste.
[0014] A toothpaste includes a basic toothpaste shell, a toothpaste fixing component, and a toothpaste movable component. The basic toothpaste shell includes a brush head, a brush cap fitted over the outside of the brush head, a movable brush handle fixed to the lower side of the brush head, and a fixed brush handle fitted over the outside of the movable brush handle. The toothpaste fixing component includes a handhold shell and a silicone shell fixed inside the handhold shell. The toothpaste movable component includes a sliding air bladder and an air bladder clamp fixed to the sliding air bladder. Attached Figure Description

[0028] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown:
[0029] A toothpaste processing system includes a housing 100, a conveyor belt 110 installed inside the housing 100, a shelf 120 welded inside the housing 100, and a plurality of push blocks 130 slidably connected to the upper side of the shelf 120 by a plurality of electric push rods. A plurality of loading frames 140 are placed on the conveyor belt 110.
[0030] Before starting the toothpaste processing system, the operator places the basic toothpaste casing on the carrying frame 140, and then places the carrying frame 140 containing the basic toothpaste casing on the conveyor belt 110, thus completing the preparation work before starting the toothpaste processing system. Then, the toothpaste processing system is started, causing the conveyor belt 110 to move the carrying frame 140 to the right, thereby moving the basic toothpaste casing inside the carrying frame 140 to the right. When the carrying frame 140 moves to the upper side of the leftmost push block 130, the leftmost electric push rod can be extended, thereby controlling the leftmost push block 130 to move upward, thus pushing the carrying frame 140 upward, causing the basic toothpaste casing on the carrying frame 140 to move upward, allowing the operator to manually install the toothpaste fixing component inside the basic toothpaste casing. Then, the leftmost electric push rod can be shortened, thereby causing the leftmost push block 130 to move the carrying frame 140 downward. The action causes the loading frame 140 to fall back onto the conveyor belt 110. Then, the pusher block 130 can separate from the loading frame 140, allowing the conveyor belt 110 to drive the loading frame 140 to continue moving to the right. When the loading frame 140 moves to the top of the next pusher block 130, the above action can be repeated, allowing the loading frame 140 to be driven upward by the next pusher block 130. This allows the operator to sequentially complete the work of filling liquid toothpaste and installing toothpaste moving parts, thereby producing finished toothpaste. At the same time, the toothpaste processing system can selectively replace manual operation by installing a robotic arm or filling nozzle on the upper side, thereby improving the toothpaste processing efficiency. Since robotic arms and filling nozzles are mature technologies, they will not be described in detail here. When the toothpaste processing system adopts a fully automatic or semi-automatic processing mode, multiple pushers 130 can be controlled separately, thereby simultaneously assembling the various parts of the toothpaste, thereby maximizing the processing efficiency of the toothpaste processing system within an acceptable cost range.
[0031] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown:
[0032] Each of the multiple carrying frames 140 has a storage slot 144 on its upper side. The bottom of the storage slot 144 is a conical surface, and a bottom hole 145 is provided at the bottom end of the conical surface. This allows the air inside the storage slot 144 to be expelled through the bottom hole 145 when the basic toothpaste shell is placed inside the carrying frame 140. This ensures that the basic toothpaste shell inserted into the storage slot 133 can fit tightly against the inner side of the storage slot 144, thus preventing the basic toothpaste shell inserted into the storage slot 144 from shaking during processing.
[0033] Further:
[0034] Each of the multiple loading frames 140 has a slot 142 on its lower side, and each of the multiple slots 142 has multiple through lines 143. Each of the multiple push blocks 130 has an insertion hole 131 on its upper part that corresponds to the slot 142, and each of the insertion holes 131 has a through hole 132 on its lower side.
[0035] When the pusher 130 needs to push the corresponding container 140 upward, the outer edge of the insertion hole 131 on the pusher 130 can correspond to the slot 142 on the lower side of the container 140, so that the outer edge of the insertion hole 131 can be inserted into the corresponding slot 142. This ensures that when the pusher 130 pushes the container 140 upward, the container 140 can be completely fitted with the pusher 140, thereby further ensuring that the basic toothpaste shell will not shake during the processing.
[0036] Meanwhile, the through wire 143 and through hole 132 can maintain the air communication between the slot 142 and the insertion hole 131 and the outside, so that when the outer edge of the insertion hole 131 is inserted into the corresponding slot 142, the air inside can be squeezed out through the through wire 143 and through hole 132, thereby ensuring the stability of the insertion process of the push block 130, and ensuring that the outer edge of the insertion hole 131 can be fully inserted into the corresponding slot 142.
[0037] Further:
[0038] The outer sides of all slots 142 are chamfered; thus, when the outer edge of the insertion hole 131 is inserted into the slot 142, the chamfer can guide the position of the push block 130, thereby ensuring that the push block 130 can be accurately inserted into the lower side of the carrying frame 140, and thus ensuring that the push block 130 can accurately push the carrying frame 140 upward, thereby preventing the carrying frame 140 from tilting to one side during the upward movement, which would cause the processing to stop.
[0039] Further:
[0040] Each of the multiple loading frames 140 has a fixing plate 141 welded to its outer side; thus, when the loading frame 140 is placed on the conveyor belt 110, the fixing plate 141 can act as a stop to prevent the loading frame 140 from falling.
[0041] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown
[0042] Multiple guide strips 101 corresponding to the fixing plate 141 are welded to the front and rear sides of the upper part of the housing 100; thus, when the carrying frame 140 is pushed upward, the angle and position of the fixing plate 141 can be restricted by the corresponding guide strips 101, thereby ensuring that the position of the carrying frame 140 is not incorrect during the upward movement.
[0043] A toothpaste processing method includes the following steps:
[0044] S1: Place the basic toothpaste tube into the processing system and start the processing system;
[0045] S2: The toothpaste fixing component is assembled inside the basic toothpaste shell using a processing system to obtain a semi-finished toothpaste shell;
[0046] S3: Fill the semi-finished toothpaste shell with liquid toothpaste;
[0047] S4: Assemble the toothpaste movable parts on the upper side of the semi-finished toothpaste shell to obtain the finished toothpaste.
[0048] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown:
[0049] A toothpaste includes a basic toothpaste shell, a toothpaste fixing component, and a toothpaste movable component. The basic toothpaste shell includes a brush head 000, a brush cap 001 fitted over the outside of the brush head 000, a movable brush handle 010 adhered to the lower side of the brush head 000, and a fixed brush handle 020 fitted over the outside of the movable brush handle. The toothpaste fixing component includes a handhold shell 030 and a silicone shell 040 adhered inside the handhold shell 030. The toothpaste movable component includes a sliding airbag 050 and an airbag clamp 060 snapped onto the sliding airbag 050. The handhold shell 030 is adhered to the lower side of the fixed brush handle 020, and the airbag clamp 060 is detachably snapped into the silicone shell 040.
[0050] When the toothpaste is not in use, the movable brush handle 010 can be compressed to the inside of the fixed brush handle 020, and then the brush cap 001 can be put on the outside of the brush head 000, thereby reducing the storage space of the toothpaste and preventing leakage of the liquid toothpaste inside. When the toothpaste is in use, the brush cap 001 is removed, the movable brush handle 010 is pulled out from the inside of the fixed brush handle 020, and then the user can hold the hand case 030 and use the brush head 000 to clean the teeth. When liquid toothpaste is needed, the user can press the exposed silicone shell 040 on the hand case 030, so that the silicone shell 040 can squeeze the liquid toothpaste through the brush head 000, thereby making it easy to squeeze out and use liquid toothpaste.
[0051] Secondly, when too much liquid toothpaste is used inside the silicone shell 040, making it impossible for the user to squeeze out more, the user can push the sliding airbag 050 on the lower side of the toothpaste, so that the sliding airbag 050 moves upward and locks into the inside of the silicone shell 040, thereby filling the internal space of the silicone shell 040 that is left after the liquid toothpaste is used, thus ensuring that the user can continue to squeeze out liquid toothpaste normally.
[0052] At the same time, since the internal structure of the toothpaste is a purely mechanical structure, the cost of the toothbrush part when using an electric control structure can be greatly reduced. This allows the toothbrush part and the toothpaste part to be integrated, thus avoiding the inconvenience and pollution caused by liquid toothpaste when it is injected into the spray toothbrush, and keeping the unused liquid toothpaste clean.
[0053] Meanwhile, since the toothpaste brush head 000 is an integrated structure, the amount of liquid toothpaste injected can be controlled according to the user's usage habits, thus ensuring that the usage time of the brush head 000 is consistent with the usage time of the liquid toothpaste. This avoids the possibility of omissions when replacing toothpaste and toothbrush separately, thereby further maintaining the user's good oral hygiene.
[0054] like Figure 11 As shown:
[0055] A baffle 011 is hinged to the inner side of the movable brush handle 010. The baffle 011 slides inside the fixed brush handle 020. A guide groove is provided on the inner side of the fixed brush handle 020.
[0056] When the toothpaste is not in use, the user can push the movable brush handle 010 into the fixed brush handle 020, so that the baffle 011 is attached to the lower side of the movable brush handle 010, thereby preventing liquid toothpaste from entering the movable brush handle 010 and thus avoiding leakage of liquid toothpaste.
[0057] When toothpaste is used, the user can push the movable brush handle 010 out of the fixed brush handle 020. When the movable brush handle 010 is pulled out to near the top of the fixed brush handle 020, the guide groove can prevent the baffle 010 from continuing to move with the movable brush handle 010, so that only one side of the baffle 010 can be in contact with the lower side of the movable brush handle 010, thereby causing the baffle 010 to flip, so that the liquid toothpaste can enter the brush head 000 through the movable brush handle 010, thus ensuring that the liquid toothpaste can be squeezed out and used normally.
[0058] like Figure 12 As shown:
[0059] The inner side of the silicone shell 040 is provided with multiple protrusions 041, and the outer side of the airbag clamp 060 is provided with grooves corresponding to the protrusions 041. This ensures that when the user needs to push the sliding airbag 050 under the toothpaste tube, the groove on the outer side of the airbag clamp 060 can engage with the corresponding protrusion 041, thus ensuring that the airbag clamp 060 will not slip out due to the user's pressure on the silicone shell 040, thereby further ensuring that the user can continue to squeeze out liquid toothpaste normally.
