[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the cleaning chamber is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the ultrasonic generator is attached to the bottom of the outer side of the bottom of the chamber.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the system further includes a drain pump installed in the space formed by the inclined bottom of the cavity. The inlet of the drain pump is connected to the outlet of the cleaning cavity, and the outlet of the drain pump is connected to the storage cavity of the waste liquid tank.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the first support of the cleaning bracket is inclined relative to the horizontal plane to fit the inclined cavity bottom.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the lid includes a lid outer shell and a lid inner shell disposed opposite to each other, and a lid inner cavity is formed between the lid outer shell and the lid inner shell;

[0036] The air-drying assembly includes a fan disposed within the inner cavity of the box cover;

[0037] The lid is also provided with:

[0049] The oral power accessory cleaning bracket and cleaning device of the present invention have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0050] (1) Achieve overall cleaning and dry isolation: The mouthpiece, connecting hose and connecting plug are simultaneously fixed by the cleaning bracket, and the washable receiving part and the dry keeping part are separated by the isolation connection part, so that the mouthpiece can be safely rinsed or soaked for disinfection, while the connecting plug is always kept dry, which solves the problem that the existing technology cannot be cleaned as a whole.

[0051] (2) Easy to operate and highly efficient in cleaning: Users only need to place the oral power accessory on the cleaning bracket and then put the bracket into the box. The cleaning can be automated by ultrasonic cleaning, ultraviolet disinfection and air drying. There is no need to clean separately by hand, which greatly simplifies the operation steps.

[0052] (3) Thorough cleaning and hygiene safety: The ultrasonic generator produces high-frequency vibrations, which, combined with the ultraviolet disinfection lamp, sterilize the cleaned accessories. The air-drying components dry quickly, effectively preventing bacterial growth and eliminating hygiene hazards.

[0053] (4) Compact structure, high degree of functional integration and safe use: The device integrates multiple functions such as ultrasonic cleaning, ultraviolet disinfection, air drying and waste liquid collection. The electrical connection between the lid and the body is achieved through a split circuit board and a separable electrical connection structure. The layout is reasonable and easy to maintain. At the same time, when the lid is opened, the separable electrical connection structure is disconnected, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp and air drying component are automatically powered off, avoiding direct ultraviolet light on the human body or accidental operation of the fan, which significantly improves the safety of use.

[0054] (5) Easy to pick up and put down, and good operating experience: Through the lifting component (such as the rebounder) and the vertical guide mechanism, the cleaning bracket can be pressed to switch between the cleaning position and the pick-up and put-down position. When picking up and putting down accessories, the bracket will automatically rise and when cleaning, the bracket will automatically fall. The operation is smooth and labor-saving.

[0055] (6) Save cleaning fluid consumption and extend the waste liquid tank cleaning cycle: By tilting the bottom of the cleaning chamber, the volume of liquid required for a single cleaning is significantly reduced while meeting the effective working liquid level of the ultrasonic generator. At the same time, the waste liquid tank can hold the wastewater generated by more cleanings, reducing the trouble of users frequently dumping waste liquid.

[0056] (7) High space utilization and compact layout: The high and low drop area formed by the inclined cavity bottom is rationally used as the installation space for the drainage pump, without the need to increase the overall volume of the device, thus realizing the high integration of the structure and the efficient use of space.

[0057] (8) Lid hovering function, flexible use: The lid can be hovered between fully open and closed, making it convenient for users to pick up or put down accessories or observe the cleaning status in the middle; the lid can be closed by pressing it, making it easy to operate.

Detailed Implementation

[0073] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0074] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0075] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, the oral power accessory in this embodiment mainly includes an oral attachment 1, a connecting plug 3, and a connecting hose 2 connecting the two. The oral attachment 1 comes into direct contact with the oral cavity during use and requires thorough cleaning and disinfection; the connecting plug 3 typically lacks waterproof or chemical-resistant cleaning capabilities and cannot be directly rinsed or soaked.

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a dental power accessory cleaning support 10 for supporting the aforementioned dental power accessory. The cleaning support 10 includes: a washable receiving portion 11, a drying retaining portion 12, and an insulating connecting portion 13.

[0078] The washable receiving portion 11 is provided with a first support 111 for fixing and exposing the oral accessory 1. Specifically, the first support 111 is inclined, and its end is provided with a clamping structure 113. In this embodiment, the clamping structure 113 includes at least a pair of opposing elastic clips 112. The elastic clips 112 can be made of a plastic or metal material with a certain degree of elasticity, and their relative spacing is slightly smaller than the corresponding directional dimension of the oral accessory 1. When the oral accessory 1 is inserted, the elastic clips 112 undergo elastic deformation and adaptively clamp the oral accessory 1, thereby stably fixing it to the first support 111, while most of the surface of the oral accessory 1 is exposed, facilitating sufficient contact with subsequent cleaning fluid.

[0079] The drying and retaining part 12 is provided with a second bracket 121 for supporting and isolating the connector 3. The outer periphery of the second bracket 121 is provided with an upwardly protruding plate-shaped isolation structure 124, and the center of the second bracket is provided with an upwardly extending winding structure 122. The winding structure 122 is used to wind the connector hose 2, and the plate-shaped isolation structure 124 and the winding structure 122 form a section for accommodating the connector 3 and the wound connector hose 2.

[0080] In this embodiment, the winding structure 122 is a columnar body erected at the center of the second support 121. Preferably, its surface can be provided with several anti-slip protrusions or grooves to prevent the hose from slipping off. Furthermore, a cap 123 is provided at the top of the winding structure 122. The diameter of the cap 123 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the winding structure 122, thereby at least partially covering the top of the winding structure 122. When the connecting hose 2 is wound around the winding structure 122, the cap 123 can effectively restrict the hose from detaching upwards, ensuring a secure winding.

[0081] The isolating connection portion 13 connects the washable receiving portion 11 and the drying retaining portion 12, and its length can be adjusted appropriately according to the length of the hose 2. The upper surface of the isolating connection portion 13 is provided with at least one limiting groove 131 for positioning the connecting hose 2. Preferably, the limiting groove 131 is an arc-shaped groove, the curvature of which matches the outer diameter of the connecting hose 2, which can prevent the hose 2 from shaking or shifting during the cleaning process.

[0082] In this embodiment, the washable receiving part 11, the isolating connecting part 13, and the drying retaining part 12 are connected in sequence to form an integral support structure. The area where the first support 111 is located (i.e., the mouthpiece fixing area) and the area where the second support 121 is located (i.e., the connector support area) are spatially separated by the isolating connecting part 13. This structure allows only the mouthpiece 1 and part of the connecting hose 2 to come into contact with the cleaning fluid during cleaning, while the connector 3 remains dry, achieving a balance between local cleaning and overall fixation.

[0083] One example of a cleaning device in this embodiment, such as Figures 4-14 As shown, it includes the aforementioned cleaning bracket 10, box body 20, box cover 30, waste liquid tank 40, ultrasonic generator 27, air drying assembly, ultraviolet disinfection lamp 35, and control unit.

[0084] A preferred embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the box body 20 has a generally rectangular parallelepiped structure, and its interior is provided with a cleaning chamber 21, a drying chamber 22, and a connecting groove 23. The cleaning chamber 21 is used to accommodate the washable receiving part 11 of the cleaning bracket 10, the drying chamber 22 is used to accommodate the drying holding part 12, and the connecting groove 23 is used to accommodate the isolation connecting part 13 and restrict its horizontal displacement.

[0085] As a preferred embodiment, in this case, Figure 8 , Figure 11 As shown, the bottom of the drying chamber 22 is provided with a drain hole 221 that connects to the waste liquid tank 40. The advantage of this design is that even if cleaning fluid enters the drying chamber 22, it can be immediately drained through the drain hole 221, preventing water accumulation in the drying chamber.

[0086] In this embodiment, the waste liquid tank 40 is located at the bottom of the box body 20, and its internal storage chamber 41 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning chamber 21 through a pipe or a direct opening for collecting the waste liquid after cleaning. Preferably, the waste liquid tank 40 and the box body 20 are detachably connected for easy disposal of waste liquid. For example, the waste liquid tank 40 can be a pull-out structure that can be pulled out from the side of the box body 20; or, the waste liquid tank 40 and the box body are connected vertically and can be separated from the bottom of the box body for easy disposal of waste liquid.

[0087] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic generator 27 is installed at the bottom outside the cavity bottom 211 of the cleaning chamber 21. Preferably, as shown... Figures 11-12 As shown, the ultrasonic generator 27 is attached to the lowest or middle part of the outer side of the bottom 211 of the cleaning chamber 21, which is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, to ensure that the ultrasonic energy is effectively transmitted to the cleaning fluid. At the same time, in order to adapt to the inclined bottom 211, the first bracket 111 of the cleaning bracket 10 is also inclined relative to the horizontal plane, so that the mouthpiece 1 fixed thereon can be kept basically parallel to the bottom of the chamber, ensuring that the accessory is evenly submerged and the cleaning effect is better.

[0088] In this embodiment, the bottom 211 of the cleaning chamber 21 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, with the inclination angle preferably between 5° and 30°. This inclined design has multiple technical advantages: First, during cleaning, only a small amount of cleaning fluid is needed to submerge the oral accessory 1, saving liquid consumption; second, during drainage, the liquid can quickly collect at the lowest point along the inclined surface, reducing residue; third, the inclined space outside the bottom 211 forms an additional installation area, which can be used to arrange structures such as the drain pump 28, achieving a high degree of structural integration and efficient use of space.

[0089] In a preferred embodiment, a drain pump 28 is used to accelerate the flow of cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 21. For example... Figures 11-12 As shown, the drain pump 28 is installed within the space formed by the inclined bottom 211 of the cavity (i.e., near the lowest point on the outer side of the cavity bottom). The inlet of the drain pump 28 is connected to the outlet connector 212 of the cleaning chamber 21 (located at the lowest point of the cavity bottom) via a pipe 282, and the outlet 281 of the drain pump 28 is connected to the water storage chamber of the waste liquid tank 40 via a water outlet hole 204 at the bottom of the housing. After cleaning is completed, the control unit starts the drain pump 28 to automatically pump the waste liquid in the cleaning chamber 21 into the waste liquid tank 40. Users do not need to manually empty the cleaning chamber, further improving convenience and drainage efficiency.

[0090] In this embodiment, the lid 30 is mounted on top of the box body 20. Preferably, the two are rotatably connected by a hinge structure 39. Figures 4-7 and Figure 13 As shown, the lid 30 includes a lid outer shell 301 and a lid inner shell 302 disposed opposite to each other, forming a lid inner cavity 307. The air drying assembly includes a fan 36 (preferably an axial fan) disposed within the lid inner cavity 307, the fan 36 being mounted inside the lid via a second mounting slot 361.

[0091] A preferred embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the inner shell 302 of the box lid is provided with a plurality of buckles 303 around its periphery, and the outer shell 301 of the box lid is provided with buckle protrusions 304 that are adapted to and connected to the buckles 303. The two are connected by the cooperation of the buckles 303 and the buckle protrusions 304.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment, the lid 30 is provided with an external air inlet 31 and an internal air outlet 33. The external air inlet 31 is located on the top or side of the lid outer shell 301, connecting the lid inner cavity 307 to the outside; the internal air outlet 33 is located on the lid inner shell 302, facing the cleaning chamber 21, connecting the lid inner cavity 307 and the cleaning chamber 21. A fan 36 is disposed in the airflow path between the external air inlet 31 and the internal air outlet 33. When the fan 36 is working, outside air enters the lid inner cavity 307 through the external air inlet 31, and is then blown towards the accessories in the cleaning chamber 21 through the internal air outlet 33, achieving rapid air drying.

[0093] Furthermore, the lid of this embodiment is also provided with an inner air inlet 34 and an outer air outlet 32. The inner air inlet 34 is connected to the cleaning chamber 21, and the outer air outlet 32 ​​connects the inner air inlet 34 to the outside, thereby exhausting the air containing moisture to the outside of the cleaning device and improving the drying efficiency. The airflow path is as follows: Figure 11 As shown by the arrow in the image.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment, the box cover 30 is provided with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 35, which is installed in the first mounting groove 351 and is positioned facing the cleaning chamber 21 for ultraviolet sterilization of the oral accessory 1.

[0095] In this embodiment, the control unit is used to control the operation of the ultrasonic generator 27, fan 36, drain pump 28, and ultraviolet disinfection lamp 35. In this embodiment, as... Figure 7 , Figure 13 As shown, the control unit includes a first circuit board 26 and a second circuit board 37. The first circuit board 26 is located inside the housing 20 and integrates a main control chip and an ultrasonic drive circuit, i.e., a water pump drive circuit. The second circuit board 37 is located inside the housing cover 30 and is used to control the on / off state of the fan 36 and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 35.

[0096] In a preferred embodiment, a detachable electrical connection structure is provided between the box body 20 and the box cover 30. Specifically, in this embodiment, it includes a contact pin 305 located at the bottom of the box cover 30 and a contact point 29 located at the top of the box body 20. When the box cover 30 is placed on the box body 20, the electrical connection structure is activated, and the power source 25 inside the box body 20 (e.g., a rechargeable battery or an external power adapter) supplies power to the first circuit board 26, the ultrasonic generator 27, and the drain pump 28. Simultaneously, the detachable electrical connection structure supplies power to the second circuit board 37, the fan 36, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 35. When the box cover 30 is opened, the electrical connection structure automatically disconnects, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 35 and the fan 36 are immediately de-energized, preventing direct ultraviolet light exposure to the human body or accidental fan operation, significantly improving safety.

[0097] Preferably, in this embodiment, the power source 25 is a rechargeable battery, and its housing 20 is provided with a charging port 205.

[0098] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the box is also provided with a display screen 206 for displaying relevant status information of the cleaning device.

[0099] A preferred embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 , Figures 9-10 To facilitate the placement and removal of the oral power accessory, a vertical guide mechanism and a lifting component are provided between the cleaning bracket 10 and the box body 20.

[0100] The vertical guiding mechanism includes at least two guide posts 132 disposed at the bottom of the cleaning bracket 10, and a guide hole 231 disposed within the housing 20 (specifically at the bottom of the connecting groove 23). The guide posts 132 and the guide hole 231 slide in engagement to ensure that the cleaning bracket 10 can only move in the vertical direction, preventing swaying.

[0101] The lifting assembly is used to position the cleaning bracket 10 in... Figure 10 The cleaning location shown is... Figure 9 Switching between the indicated pick-up and drop-off positions. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly uses a rebound mechanism 24. The rebound mechanism 24 is a mechanical component commonly found in push-button drawers or cabinet doors of furniture, which contains a spring and a locking mechanism. Specifically, in this embodiment, the winding structure 122 in the cleaning bracket 10 is cylindrical, and a columnar body 222 adapted to the cylindrical structure is provided on the drying chamber 22. The upper end of the rebound mechanism 24 abuts against the inner cylinder of the winding structure 122, and the lower end is installed inside the columnar body 222. When the cleaning bracket 10 is in the cleaning position (e.g., ... Figure 10 When the cleaning bracket 10 is completely inside the housing 20, and accessory 1 is submerged in the cleaning solution, as shown, pressing down on the cleaning bracket 10 releases the locking mechanism of the rebound device 24. Under the action of the internal spring, the cleaning bracket 10 rises to the pick-up / drop-off position (as shown). Figure 9 As shown in the diagram, at this point, the cleaning bracket 10 is at least partially higher than the housing 20, allowing the user to easily place and remove the oral power accessory. Pressing the cleaning bracket 10 down again locks the rebound mechanism 24 back into place, and the cleaning bracket 10 descends to the cleaning position. This process is repeated to achieve one-button position switching.

[0102] A preferred embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figures 8-10 as well as Figures 13-14As shown, the lid 30 and the box body 20 are hinged together by a hinge structure 39. The hinge structure 39 includes: a hinge seat 391, located on one side (e.g., the rear side) of the lid 30, with pivots 392 on both sides of the hinge seat 391; and a receiving groove 201, located on one side of the top of the box body 20, for accommodating the hinge seat 391, with pivot holes 202 on both sides of the receiving groove 201 that are adapted to connect with the pivots 392. Through this hinge structure, the lid 30 can rotate within a certain angle range.

[0103] Furthermore, the lid 30 has a fully open position (e.g.) Figure 8 As shown, usually greater than 90°), closed position (such as...) Figure 5 (as shown) and the hovering position between the two (as shown) Figure 14 (As shown). To achieve the hovering function, there is a floating gap L between the outer shell 301 and the inner shell 302 of the lid (i.e., they are not completely rigidly fixed, but allow for slight relative movement), or the inner shell 302 itself has an elastic deformation space (e.g., made of a thin-walled elastic material). Simultaneously, at least one protrusion is provided between the lid 30 and the box body 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, the protrusion includes a first protrusion 306 on the lid 30 and a second protrusion 203 on the box body 20. When the lid 30 rotates to a certain intermediate angle (e.g., 30°-60°), the first protrusion 306 contacts the corresponding second protrusion 203, generating frictional resistance or a locking force, allowing the lid 30 to overcome its own weight and remain in that position, i.e., the hovering position. When the user needs to close the lid 30, they only need to press down on the lid 30. Due to the floating gap or elastic deformation, the protrusions can temporarily disengage, and the lid 30 smoothly rotates to the closed position. This design allows users to easily access accessories or observe the cleaning process without fully opening the lid, enhancing usability.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment, the lid 30 is held in the closed position by a magnetic connection structure with the box body 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, as... Figure 7 As shown, a magnet mounting cavity 381 is provided on the side of the inner shell 302 away from the hinge structure, and a magnet 38 is installed in the magnet mounting cavity 381. Correspondingly, a magnet or a magnetically attracted structure is provided at a corresponding position on the box body 20.

[0105] The usage procedure of the cleaning device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0106] S10, open the box cover 30, press down on the cleaning bracket 10, release the rebounder 24, and the cleaning bracket 10 springs up to the pick-up / place position;

[0107] S20, Place the oral power accessory: Insert the oral accessory 1 into the elastic clips 112 of the first bracket 111, insert the connecting hose 2 into the limiting groove 131 and wrap it around the winding structure 122 in sequence, and finally insert the connecting plug 3 into the receiving cavity of the second bracket 121 to complete the fixation of the accessory.

[0108] S30, press down on the cleaning bracket 10 until the rebound device 24 locks (cleaning position). Inject an appropriate amount of cleaning fluid into the cleaning chamber 21 (the fluid level should submerge the inlet containing accessory 1).

[0109] S40, Cleaning with the lid closed: When the lid 30 is closed, the detachable electrical connection structure automatically conducts. After the control unit detects that the lid is closed, it can automatically start or wait for the user to press the start button. The ultrasonic generator 27 operates to perform high-frequency ultrasonic cleaning on the mouthpiece containing accessory 1. The cleaning time can be set as needed. After cleaning, the drain pump 28 automatically discharges the waste liquid into the waste liquid tank 40.

[0110] S50, Disinfection and Drying: After cleaning and draining, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 35 is turned on and the attachment 1 is irradiated for a certain period of time to sterilize it; at the same time, the fan 36 is started to blow dry air into the cleaning chamber 21 to quickly dry the surface of the attachment.

[0111] S60, Remove the oral power accessory: Open the lid 30, the UV lamp and fan will automatically shut off. Press down on the cleaning bracket 10, the rebound mechanism 24 will release, and the cleaning bracket 10 will spring up to the pick-up / drop-off position, allowing the user to easily remove the cleaned and disinfected oral power accessory.

[0112] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
