TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mother and baby products, and particularly relates to a container cleaning device. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, infant feeding bottle cleaning tools mainly include independent split feeding bottle brushes and nipple brushes, and simple combined cleaning tools. The split design has the problems of inconvenient use and storage and easy loss of parts. The existing combined products are connected by springs, buckles or simple hinges, and although they can achieve a certain degree of bending or stretching, they have obvious defects in actual use: the transformation process is usually sudden or uncontrollable, and lacks an intermediate stable state. When switching functions, the brush head is easily pulled to the bottom due to excessive force, and the feeding bottle brush shape is instantly changed to the limit bending nipple brush shape. This harsh and excessive deformation not only may damage the product structure and affect the service life, but also causes the transition between the two function modes to be not smooth and natural, and cannot achieve stable and gradual cleaning angle adjustment, resulting in poor user experience. Therefore, an integrated cleaning tool capable of realizing controllable and gradual deformation and ensuring smooth and reliable transition between the two functions is needed.
[0003] Therefore, a container cleaning device is needed to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, and provides a container cleaning device. The two-section controllable deformation structure of the present application ensures smooth transition from the feeding bottle brush to the nipple brush function, protects the structure of the silica gel part, and improves the operation feel and use reliability.
[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is: a container cleaning device, comprising a feeding bottle brush, a nipple brush and a brush rod, the feeding bottle brush and the nipple brush are connected to each other through a silica gel part;
[0006] The cross section of the silica gel part is in a trapezoidal structure, and a first annular groove and a second annular groove are arranged in the silica gel part;
[0007] The first annular groove is located at the connection between the silica gel part and the feeding bottle brush;
[0008] The second annular groove is located in the middle of the silica gel part, and the slopes on both sides of the second annular groove are different;
[0009] The silica gel part deforms when subjected to stress, so that the nipple brush is converted between the extended position and the retracted position relative to the feeding bottle brush.
[0010] Further, a plastic part is further included, which is tightly fitted in the inside of the nipple brush, and the plastic part can slide relative to the inside of the nipple brush.
[0011] Furthermore, the plastic part includes a head, on which multiple vent holes are provided to prevent air from accumulating inside the plastic part.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottle brush is connected to a brush rod, on which a sliding groove is provided, and a push block for guiding the movement of the plastic part is slidably connected within the sliding groove.
[0013] Furthermore, one end of the brush rod is connected to a base.
[0014] Furthermore, the slope of the second annular groove near the bottle brush is less than the slope near the nipple brush.
[0015] The advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a container cleaning device, which has the following technical effects:
[0016] 1. This invention solves the technical problems of uncontrolled deformation and tendency to "pull all the way down" in existing products by utilizing the synergistic effect of a specific concave structure (first annular groove) on the silicone part and an auxiliary positioning part on the plastic part. This design divides the deformation process of the silicone part into two stages: First, the auxiliary positioning part engages with the initial position of the concave structure, providing initial resistance and positioning, causing the brush head to initially bend to adapt to the curvature of the bottle; as the pulling force continues to be applied, the auxiliary positioning part slides past the apex of the concave structure and enters the final locking position, achieving complete deformation, thus preventing excessive and abrupt deformation. This two-stage controllable deformation structure ensures a smooth transition from bottle brush to nipple brush function, protecting the silicone part structure while improving the handling feel and reliability.
[0017] 2. This invention achieves an innovative integrated design of a bottle brush and a nipple brush by utilizing the elastic deformation properties of silicone components. The invention creatively uses silicone components to connect the bottle brush and the nipple brush, integrating two separate cleaning tools into a single unit through the elastic deformation properties of silicone. When cleaning the bottle, the nipple brush remains extended; after cleaning, the deformation of the silicone components causes the nipple brush to retract, forming a compact, integrated structure with the bottle brush. This design facilitates storage and portability, solving the problems of inconvenience and easy loss associated with traditional separate products, and improving the user experience.
[0018] 3. This invention optimizes deformation performance and service life through the coordinated design of the trapezoidal cross-section and annular groove of the silicone component. The silicone component adopts a unique trapezoidal cross-section structure and has a first and a second annular groove inside. The first annular groove is located at the connection point to provide cushioning, while the second annular groove is located in the middle to control the deformation direction. This design allows the silicone component to maintain its elasticity after thousands of deformations, solving the problems of easy aging and damage of traditional connectors.
[0019] 4. This invention features a sliding plastic component inside the nipple brush, with multiple vent holes at its head. When the nipple brush extends or retracts, the vent holes promptly balance the internal and external air pressure, ensuring smooth extension and retraction and avoiding the jamming phenomenon caused by air pressure issues in traditional designs.

[0030] Example 1:
[0031] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This embodiment is intended to fully disclose the technical solution of the present invention, but is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The present invention, through an innovative silicone component connection structure, achieves an integrated design of the bottle brush and nipple brush, effectively solving the problems of inconvenience in use and storage difficulties of traditional separate products. Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the present invention in its assembled state. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the present invention. Figure 3 for Figure 2 Enlarged structural diagram at point A in the middle. Figure 4 Changes in the usage status of the present invention Figure 1 , Figure 5 Changes in the usage status of the present invention Figure 2 .like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The container cleaning device shown integrates a bottle brush 1 and a nipple brush 2 into a single unit. (Reference) Figure 1The schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure shows that the overall structure mainly includes a bottle brush 1, a nipple brush 2, a silicone part 3, a plastic part 4, a pusher 5, a base 6, and a brush handle 7. The bottle brush 1 is connected to the base 6 via the brush handle 7, forming the main cleaning component. The brush handle 7 has a groove 701, on which the pusher 5 is mounted. The pusher 5 can slide within the groove 701, guiding the movement of the plastic part 4. The nipple brush 2 is flexibly connected to the bottle brush 1 via an innovative silicone part 3. The elasticity of the silicone part 3 allows the nipple brush 2 to switch between extended and retracted positions. The plastic part 4 is tightly fitted inside the nipple brush 2 and slides within the groove 701 of the brush handle 7 via the pusher 5, achieving precise position control. The base 6 is connected to one end of the brush handle, and multifunctional accessories, including a crevice brush, a straw brush, and a cup lid brush, can be installed within the base 6.
[0032] The silicone component 3 in this invention is the core innovative part, and its unique structure enables a flexible connection between the bottle brush 1 and the nipple brush 2. Please refer to... Figure 2 Schematic diagram of cross-section structure and Figure 3 A partial enlarged view. The silicone part 3 is made of food-grade silicone material, possessing excellent elastic recovery properties and chemical stability, ensuring safety in contact with infant products. The trapezoidal cross-section structure of the silicone part optimizes stress distribution, ensuring both structural strength and good flexibility. A first annular groove 301 is provided at the connection between the silicone part 3 and the bottle brush 1. This groove serves as a primary buffer structure, effectively dispersing stress when the silicone part 3 deforms, preventing tearing caused by stress concentration at the connection. A second annular groove 302 is provided in the middle of the silicone part 3. The slopes on both sides of this groove are different; this asymmetrical design gives the silicone part 3 directional bending characteristics under stress. Through its elastic deformation characteristics, the silicone part 3 allows the nipple brush 2 to smoothly transition between the extended and retracted positions relative to the bottle brush 1. In the extended state, the silicone part 3 provides stable support; in the retracted state, the silicone part 3 undergoes compressive deformation, achieving compact storage.
[0033] The plastic part 4 in this invention is a key component to ensure the normal operation of the device. The plastic part 4 has excellent wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction. Its head 41 has multiple vent holes 411, which are symmetrically arranged to ensure uniform air pressure balance. When the nipple brush 2 extends or retracts, the plastic part 4 slides inside the nipple brush 2. The vent holes 411 promptly expel or draw in air, preventing jamming caused by air pressure differences.
[0034] Working principle and usage process description: The working principle of this invention is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The usage status change diagram can clearly show this. The working process of the device is explained in detail below with reference to the diagram.
[0035] When preparing for cleaning, the user holds the base 6 and pushes the push block 5 forward with their thumb. The push block 5 guides the plastic part 4 forward through the slide groove 701, causing the plastic part 4 to extend the nipple brush 2. During this process, the vent 411 on the head 41 of the plastic part 4 promptly releases internal air to prevent vacuum adsorption. The silicone part 3 begins to elastically deform under the pushing force, allowing the nipple brush 2 to extend smoothly. The nipple is cleaned by the nipple brush 2, and the bottle is cleaned by the bottle brush 1. During the cleaning process, the user can precisely control the cleaning depth and angle by finely adjusting the position of the push block 5. After cleaning, the user pulls the push block 5 backward. The plastic part 4 moves backward under the pulling force, and the silicone part 3 undergoes compression deformation under the elastic restoring force, causing the nipple brush 2 to smoothly retract into the bottle brush 1.
[0036] This embodiment, through the detailed description above, fully discloses the technical solution of the present invention. Through the innovative design and structural fit of the silicone part 3, the efficient integration of the bottle brush 1 and the nipple brush 2 is successfully achieved, providing a more convenient and safer solution for cleaning infant bottles.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
