Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a washing or cleaning device operated manually or mechanically, in particular to a bathing and cleaning appliance. Background Art
[0002] When taking a bath, some cleaning tools are often used to assist in removing the aged or contaminated stratum corneum on the skin surface. However, due to physiological reasons, not everyone can reach the middle and upper part of the back, which requires the use of extendable cleaning tools. The existing technology is roughly divided into two types, one is a bath brush with a long handle, and the other is a long bath towel with grippers at both ends.
[0003] However, due to the principle of leverage, a long-handled bath brush requires greater force to control the direction and angle. After the long handle is stained with shower gel, it becomes very slippery and cannot be effectively controlled, which can easily cause discomfort when used.
[0004] Although long bath towels can clean the back well, they often need to be folded for easy holding when cleaning other parts of the body. However, the folded bath towels are easy to spread out, and the cleaning area of long bath towels is strip-shaped, which is not friendly to people who only want to clean a certain point on the back. Washing the bath towel after use is also unpleasant. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a cleaning tool that can conveniently clean the back (easy to apply force, flexible operation), and also conveniently clean other parts of the body, can be operated with one hand, does not need to switch back and forth, and is easy to clean.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A bathing and cleaning tool comprises a main body, at least one side of which is formed with or connected with a cleaning portion, and the main body is provided with an insertion space matching the shape of a finger.
[0008] Furthermore, the main body is a rigid structure, and the matching with the finger shape means that when the finger is inserted into the space, the shape and size of the space can provide sufficient restraining force to the inserted finger to prevent the bathing and cleaning utensil from slipping, and the hand can provide force toward the cleaning part along the bendable direction of the finger.
[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the insertion space gradually shrinks along the insertion direction of the finger, or the insertion space is curved toward the cleaning portion.
[0010] Furthermore, there are several extension spaces, and their extension direction is parallel to the working surface of the cleaning part; wherein, when there is one extension space, its diameter matches the middle finger, and positions for fingers to press are provided above both sides of the extension space; when there are more than two extension spaces, at least one is provided to match the middle finger, and the extension space is close to the central axis of the maximum area projection of the working surface of the cleaning part.
[0011] Furthermore, the main body is rigid, and when there are more than two insertion spaces, a partition is provided, the partition separates two adjacent insertion spaces into independent spaces, and the length of the partition along the finger insertion direction is 2-6 cm.
[0012] Furthermore, an anti-slip rib is provided on the top surface of the main body at a position corresponding to the position extending into the space.
[0013] Furthermore, the body is hollow, and keyway-shaped through holes are provided on both sides of the body in the extension direction of the insertion space, and the insertion space and the keyway-shaped through holes are both connected to the hollow part.
[0014] Furthermore, the main body is rectangular and has a length of 10-30 cm.
[0015] Furthermore, in a cross section or a longitudinal section perpendicular to a working surface of the cleaning portion, a surface of the main body at a side away from the cleaning portion is in an arched arc shape.
[0016] Furthermore, the cleaning part refers to a device for cleaning the body surface by friction or brushing.
[0017] Furthermore, the body is divided into a head and a handle, and the cleaning part is arranged on the head.
[0018] The insertion space is arranged on the handle.
[0019] Furthermore, the extending space extends into the interior of the body.
[0020] The bathing and cleaning tool of the utility model can be grasped by inserting fingers, so the holding is firm and labor-saving, the directivity is good, the cleaning of various parts of the body is convenient, and the cleaning is easy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The technical solution of this patent is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0027] Examples of embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this patent, and cannot be understood as limiting this patent.
[0028] The inventor of the utility model found that in the absence of cleaning tools, humans usually use their palms and fingers to rub their bodies to remove dirt when bathing. Human hands are very flexible, and the cleaning action is natural and comfortable. Unfortunately, due to physiological reasons, it is difficult for the palms to exert force on some parts of the body, and the palms do not have a sufficiently rough friction layer, so cleaning tools are needed. When using cleaning tools, the closer the hand is to the working surface of the cleaning tool, the easier it is to operate, and the more flexible and easy to apply force. For example, a handleless brush is easier to operate than a long-handled brush, but a handleless brush does not have an extension effect and still cannot touch certain areas of the back. Therefore, it would be a better choice if a handleless or short-handled brush could also extend the hand without affecting flexibility. This is also the main design idea of the utility model. Example
[0029] See also Figure 1 , a snap-on bathing and cleaning appliance, comprising a body 1, the body 1 is injection molded, and is made of plastic that is not easily deformed, that is, a rigid material, and is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, 18 cm long, hollow, and 3 insertion spaces 12 are arranged on both sides of the long side. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate production, the cross section of the insertion space 12 is a square with rounded corners, and its cross section is adapted to the diameter of an adult finger. However, people's fingers are different in thickness, and the device is a rigid structure. In order to accommodate more users as much as possible, the size of the insertion space 12 can be designed to be biased towards the larger size of the adult finger diameter (of course, if the conversion cost is not considered, many models can also be set according to the size). When the size is too large, the finger is prone to slipping after being inserted. In order to solve this problem, the following 5 solutions can be adopted in some embodiments:
[0030] The first method is to set the insertion space 12 to be a cone-like shape that gradually becomes thinner along the insertion direction, so that the finger can be clamped by the depth of insertion.
[0031] The second method is to set anti-slip patterns such as convex points and grids on the inner wall of the space 12.
[0032] The third method is to set a silicone layer in the extended space 12 to increase friction. Furthermore, the softness of the silicone layer can be used in combination with the first method to more effectively clamp the finger by changing the diameter.
[0033] A fourth method is to configure the extending space 12 to be curved toward the cleaning portion so that the device can be hooked by applying force with fingers.
[0034] The fifth method is to fix it by using the clamping force generated by the interlayer.
[0035] All of the above five methods actually provide a restraining force for the fingers by setting the extending space 12 to achieve a firm hold with one hand.
[0036] In this embodiment, the main body 1 is divided into three parts: a box body 11, an adapter plate 14 and a cleaning part 15. The cleaning part 15 is a sponge, a scrubbing cloth, a mesh cloth and a stitched body of two or more thereof, which is bonded or sleeved on the adapter plate 14. The adapter plate 14 is snap-connected with the box body 11 to form a complete structure.
[0037] It should be pointed out that there is a lot of room for setting the number of insertion spaces 12. For example, in some embodiments, the thickness of the main body is set to be small. In this case, only one insertion space 12 can be set. When in use, the middle finger is inserted into the use space 12 to prevent it from falling off, and then the index finger and ring finger are pressed against the surface of the main body 1 on both sides of the insertion space 12 to ensure that it will not flip over. Of course, a depression or anti-slip rib corresponding to the shape of the finger can also be set at the pressing position to achieve anti-slip.
[0038] When the area of the body is large, the insertion spaces 12 may be set to be more than 3, such as 4 or 5. When using, just insert multiple fingers into the insertion spaces 12 (generally the middle position) that are most convenient for exerting force according to personal habits. In this case, the multiple insertion spaces 12 may also be set to different sizes, but generally one or two in the middle position should correspond to the size of the middle finger.
[0039] In this embodiment, the device is hollow, that is, a cavity is formed inside the box body 11, and the insertion space 12 is separated by a partition 18, which is connected to the cavity. When the partition is short in the insertion direction, the fingertips can be closed, which is more convenient for exerting force, but if it is too small, it will cause discomfort to the base of the finger, so it is appropriate to have a size between the first and second finger joints. Key slot-shaped through holes 13 are opened on both sides of the cavity. The key slot-shaped through holes 13 have two or three purposes. One is to conveniently accommodate fingers that are not inserted into the insertion space 12 to increase comfort, and the other is to facilitate cleaning of the interior, and the other is to facilitate four fingers to extend horizontally into the grasping body 1.
[0040] In this embodiment, the extending direction of the extending space is roughly parallel to the outer surface of the cleaning portion 15; in order to improve comfort or aesthetics, the extending direction of the extending space and the outer surface of the cleaning portion 15 can also form an angle. It should be understood that the cleaning tool must have a force against the surface of the body to work, so in theory, as long as the angle does not affect the fingers to provide this force, it can be specifically set to 0° to 45°.
[0041] In order to reduce weight and cost, the injection molding thickness will be reduced. If the main body 1 still adopts a planar structure, it will cause deformation when subjected to force. At this time, the surface of the side of the main body 1 away from the cleaning part 15 can be made into an arched shape to increase strength. The arched shape can be set along the short side direction of the main body 1, that is, the upper side of the cross section of the main body 1 perpendicular to the surface direction of the cleaning part 15 is an arc. It can also be set along the long side direction of the main body 1, that is, the upper side of the longitudinal section of the main body 1 perpendicular to the surface direction of the cleaning part 15 is an arc. It can also be set as a double arch, that is, the upper surface of the main body 1 away from the cleaning part 15 is a curved surface. Example
[0042] See also Figure 2 , the adhesive bath cleaning tool, its structure is roughly the same as that of embodiment 1, except that the body 1 is integrally formed, the cleaning part 15 is one or more of foam stone, sponge, coarse fiber fabric, cleaning net, and is attached to one side of the body, and the upper surface of the body 1 is provided with anti-skid ribs 16. In this embodiment, the anti-skid ribs 16 are arranged at the position corresponding to the most central extension space 12. Of course, for the purpose of anti-skid, the anti-skid ribs 16 can also be arranged at other positions where gripping is required. Example
[0043] See also Figure 3 The structure of the bristle-type bath cleaning tool is substantially the same as that of Example 2, except that a plurality of protrusions are injection-molded on one side of the main body 1 to form a cleaning portion 15 with a comb-like or brush-like structure. Of course, in order to increase the comfort, a hair planting process can also be used to provide softer bristles 151.
[0044] It should be noted that the above description of the cleaning part 15 is not limiting. Those skilled in the art should be aware that the so-called cleaning includes two methods: friction or brushing. The so-called friction refers to the use of greater pressure to create sufficient friction between the surface of the cleaning part and the human body, thereby removing dirt and stratum corneum on the skin surface, such as pumice, melon, coarse fiber fabrics, etc.; while brushing is to apply less pressure and use the structure of the surface array of the cleaning part to remove dirt on the skin surface, which generally does not damage the epidermis, such as bristles, sponges, etc. Example
[0045] See also Figure 4 , a bristle-type bath cleaning tool, its structure is generally the same as that of Example 2, except that the body 1 is divided into a head 21 and a handle 22, wherein the cleaning portion 15 is arranged on the head 21, and the extension space 12 is arranged on the handle, and its shape can be round, square, triangular, oval, and can also be set to a cartoon shape or other irregular shapes for aesthetics. In this embodiment, the handle 22 is only used as an extension part and does not participate in cleaning the body, which can minimize the ineffective use area, thereby reducing weight and manufacturing cost. In order to facilitate the discharge of liquid and gas in the extension space 12, a through hole leading to the extension space can be provided on the side where the handle 22 and the cleaning portion 15 are located.
[0046] The above are only preferred implementations of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model. These should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model. These will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent.
