[0051] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0052] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0053] In the related art, in order to prevent the toothbrush from being exposed to the air for a long time and being contaminated by dust and other dirt, the toothbrush is usually stored in a toothbrush portable box after being used to clean teeth.

[0054] However, current toothbrush portable boxes are usually boxes with closed structures, and the brush heads of the toothbrushes after use are damp. Storing the toothbrushes in the closed portable box can easily cause bacteria to grow on the damp toothbrush heads.

[0055] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides an open toothbrush portable box and an electric toothbrush assembly. The open toothbrush portable box and the electric toothbrush assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings of the specification.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The present application provides an electric toothbrush assembly, comprising an electric toothbrush 2 and an open toothbrush portable box 1. The electric toothbrush 2 comprises a brush head 21 and a brush handle 22. The brush head 21 has bristles 210 and a brush plate 211 for fixing the bristles 210.

[0057] The open toothbrush portable box 1 comprises a housing 11; the outer surface of the housing 11 is concave to form a placement groove 12, and the placement groove 12 comprises a first groove body 121 and a second groove body 122 which are connected to each other, and the first groove body 121 and the second groove body 122 are both open forms with the groove opening connected to the outside. The electric toothbrush 2 can be accommodated in the placement groove 12. The second groove body 122 is used to place the brush handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2, and the first groove body 121 is used to place the brush head 21 of the electric toothbrush 2, and the groove wall of the first groove body 121 is used to cover the bristles 210 of the brush head 21.

[0058] The open toothbrush portable box 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a placement slot 12 for accommodating the electric toothbrush 2 on the outer surface of the shell 11. The slot wall of the first slot body 121 of the placement slot 12 can not only place the brush head 21 of the electric toothbrush 2, but also cover the bristles 210 of the brush head 21, effectively preventing the toothbrush from being exposed to the air for a long time and getting dirty such as dust; and the slot opening of the placement slot 12 is in an open form connected to the outside world, which can effectively prevent the damp brush head 21 from breeding bacteria compared to the closed toothbrush portable box used in the related art. It can be seen that the present application can solve the problem that the damp brush head 21 is easily bred with bacteria when stored in a closed toothbrush portable box.

[0059] The specific structure of the electric toothbrush 2 and the open toothbrush portable box 1 in the present application is introduced in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification.

[0060] See also Figure 5The electric toothbrush 2 includes a brush head 21 and a handle 22. The overall shape of the handle 22 can be cylindrical, prismatic or other shapes, which is not specifically limited in this application. Specifically, the handle 22 includes a shell and a movement. The main structure of the shell can be made of plastic. For example, suitable exemplary materials that can be used include but are not limited to hard plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polyamide, polyester, cellulose, SAN (Acrylonitrile-Styrene, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer), acrylic resin, ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastic, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic) and other thermoplastic plastics suitable for toothbrush manufacturing. Of course, the main structure of the shell can also be made of metal, such as one or more of various metal parts such as aluminum alloy, cobalt alloy, stainless steel, etc., which is not limited in this application. The movement can include components such as a bracket, a power supply, a circuit board, and a motor; the power supply, the circuit board, and the motor are all installed on the bracket, and the power supply is used to power electronic devices such as the circuit board. The power supply can be a dry cell or a storage battery. The circuit board is used to control the operation of the electronic devices in the movement. The circuit board can be a single-sided board, a double-sided board or a multi-layer board. The present application does not specifically limit the type, model and size of the circuit board. The motor is provided with a transmission rod extending from the brush handle 22, and the brush head 21 is provided with bristles 210 that are in direct contact with the teeth when brushing teeth and a brush plate 211 that fixes the bristles 210. The brush head 21 is inserted into the transmission rod of the brush handle 22. The transmission rod is located on one side of the brush handle 22 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and is used to transmit the force generated by the operation of the motor to the brush head 21. When the motor is running, the motor drives the transmission rod to vibrate at high speed, and the brush head 21 vibrates at high speed under the drive of the transmission rod to achieve the function of oral cleaning.

[0061] See also Figure 4 The first groove body 121 and the second groove body 122 on the housing 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 are connected. The first groove body 121 may include a groove bottom wall, a first groove side wall and a second groove side wall which are sequentially connected from the inside to the outside. Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5When the bristles 210 of the brush head 21 on the electric toothbrush 2 are placed in the first slot body 121 with the attitude of facing the slot bottom wall of the first slot body 121, the first slot side wall surrounds the bristles 210 of the brush head 21, and the second slot side wall surrounds the brush plate 211 of the brush head 21 and is connected to the outside world, so that the slot bottom wall, the first slot side wall, the second slot side wall and the brush plate 211 of the brush head 21 can cover the bristles 210 of the brush head 21. Therefore, unlike the closed structure adopted by the toothbrush portable box in the related art, the embodiment of the present application adopts an open form in which the slot is connected to the outside world. This open form can not only prevent the bristles 210 of the electric toothbrush 2 from being exposed to the air and sticking to dust and other dirt, but also prevent the wet bristles 210 from breeding bacteria.

[0062] Furthermore, the depth of the first slot 121 satisfies that after the electric toothbrush 2 is placed with the bristles 210 inserted into the slot of the first slot 121, there is a gap between the bristles 210 of the electric toothbrush 2 and the bottom wall of the first slot 121. That is, when the electric toothbrush 2 is placed in the placement slot 12 with the bristles 210 facing the bottom wall of the first slot 121, the bristles 210 do not contact the bottom wall of the first slot 121, but maintain a certain gap with the bottom wall of the first slot 121. It can be seen that the depth of the first slot 121 can be set to be greater than the length of the bristles 210, for example, the depth of the first slot 121 can be 1.1 times, 1.2 times, etc., of the length of the bristles 210. Of course, considering that the lengths of the bristles 210 of the electric toothbrushes 2 designed for different user groups such as adult toothbrushes and children's toothbrushes are different, in order to take into account the electric toothbrushes 2 of different specifications and improve the applicability of the open toothbrush portable box 1, the depth of the first slot 121 can be designed to be deeper. Of course, according to the volume, processing difficulty, production cost and other factors of the open toothbrush portable box 1, the designer can flexibly design the depth of the first slot 121.

[0063] See also Figure 8It is understandable that the bottom wall of the first slot body 121 can also be provided with a functional part 1211 for disinfecting, sterilizing, drying, or disinfecting and drying the bristles 210 of the brush head 21. The functional part 1211 is electrically connected to the power supply through a circuit board. The functional part 1211 can be at least one of a disinfection lamp, a fan, and an electric heating component. For example, the disinfection lamp can be an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, i.e., a UV lamp (Ultraviolet Lamp). An ultraviolet disinfection lamp is a lamp that uses the bactericidal effect of ultraviolet rays to sterilize and disinfect, such as using ultraviolet rays emitted by a mercury lamp to achieve the sterilization and disinfection function. Since ultraviolet rays of a specific radiation wavelength have a strong bactericidal ability, they can achieve the purpose of disinfection and sterilization. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp can have multiple luminous intensities, and the driving voltage output by the power supply to the ultraviolet disinfection lamp can be adjusted through the circuit board to adjust the luminous intensity of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp. The fan can ventilate the bristles 210 in the first slot body 121; the electric heating component can use a heating wire, and the heating wire can be energized to heat and dry the bristles 210 that are wet with accumulated water. Both the fan and the electric heating component can further prevent the bristles 210 from forming mold due to moisture.

[0064] It should be noted that in the placement groove 12 of the shell 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 of the present application, the groove wall of at least one of the first groove body 121 and the second groove body 122 can provide a holding force for the electric toothbrush 2 located in the placement groove 12. In other words, the groove wall of the first groove body 121 can provide a holding force for the brush head 21 of the electric toothbrush 2 located in the first groove body 121, or the groove wall of the second groove body 122 can provide a holding force for the brush handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 located in the second groove body 122, or the groove wall of the first groove body 121 and the groove wall of the second groove body 122 can simultaneously provide a holding force for the brush head 21 of the electric toothbrush 2 in the first groove body 121 and the brush handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 in the second groove body 122. In this way, when the open toothbrush portable box 1 is placed in any posture and is not subjected to external force, the electric toothbrush 2 in the placement groove 12 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 will not loosen.

[0065] It is understandable that, in addition to the groove wall of the placement groove 12 of the upper shell 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 providing a holding force, a limiting structure 13 can also be provided on the open toothbrush portable box 1, and the limiting structure 13 acts on the electric toothbrush 2 to prevent the electric toothbrush 2 from loosening from the placement groove 12. The limiting structure 13 is connected to the shell 11 and is used to provide a blocking force when the electric toothbrush 2 is loosened from the placement groove 12. Fig.10As shown, exemplarily, the limiting structure 13 can be a magnet, and the limiting structure 13 is used to provide magnetic attraction to the electric toothbrush 2. For a metal shell, the limiting structure 13, i.e., the magnet, in the open toothbrush portable box 1 can directly adsorb the electric toothbrush 2. For a plastic shell, a magnet or iron sheet with a different polarity from the limiting structure 13, i.e., the magnet, in the open toothbrush portable box 1 can be installed in the electric toothbrush 2. The limiting structure 13 in the open toothbrush portable box 1 can be set at a predetermined position, and the position where the magnet or iron sheet in the electric toothbrush 2 is set on the electric toothbrush 2 corresponds to the predetermined position. In this way, when the electric toothbrush 2 gradually approaches the open toothbrush portable box 1, due to the attraction force of the magnetic force, not only can the electric toothbrush 2 and the open toothbrush portable box 1 not be loosened when subjected to the vibration force or separation force generated by extrusion during the carrying and moving process, but also the electric toothbrush 2 can be accurately and reliably fixed on the open toothbrush portable box 1. In addition, because of the mutual attraction through magnetic force, when the electric toothbrush 2 is placed with a small range of misalignment, the magnetic force can be relied upon to automatically correct the misalignment, so that the electric toothbrush 2 can be accurately fixed on the open toothbrush portable box 1.

[0066] Of course, the limiting structure 13 can also be a buckle for clamping the electric toothbrush 2. For example, the housing of the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 can be provided with a clamping groove, and the buckle on the limiting structure 13 can be a clamping protrusion, which is clamped with the clamping groove, so that the electric toothbrush 2 will not be loosened from the placement groove 12.

[0067] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, in the depth direction of the second slot 122, the second slot 122 satisfies that after the electric toothbrush 2 is placed, the largest diameter of the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 is exposed outside the notch of the second slot 122. In other words, the largest diameter of the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 is located above the notch of the second slot 122. In this way, the two sides where the electric toothbrush 2 and the open toothbrush portable box 1 are combined in the electric toothbrush assembly can present a similar concave structure. Therefore, when the user uses the electric toothbrush 2, that is, when the electric toothbrush 2 is removed from the open toothbrush portable box 1 or the electric toothbrush 2 is placed in the open toothbrush portable box 1, force can be applied to the lower surface of the largest diameter of the handle 22, which is convenient for the user to grasp and take and put the electric toothbrush 2.

[0068] See also Figure 4 The housing 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 may include a first end 111 and a second end 112 arranged opposite to each other in the length direction, a first groove 121 is close to the first end 111, and a second groove 122 passes through the second end 112. Figure 4When placed vertically as shown, the first end 111 is the upper end of the housing 11, and the second end 112 is the lower end of the housing 11. In addition, the second slot 122 runs through the second end 112, so that when the electric toothbrush 2 is placed in the open toothbrush portable box 1 after use, the liquid water remaining on the brush head 21 of the electric toothbrush 2 can flow smoothly along the bottom wall of the first slot 121 and the second slot 122 to the outside, further reducing the possibility of bacteria breeding on the wet brush head 21. In addition, a fan or a functional part 1211 of an electric heating component is set on the bottom wall of the first slot 121, and the air flow generated by the fan or the water vapor flow generated by the electric heating component can also flow along the bottom wall of the first slot 121 and the second slot 122 to the outside, thereby improving the drying effect of the fan and the electric heating component, and further reducing the possibility of mold generation on the bristles 210 due to moisture.

[0069] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the second slot body 122 may also include a main slot 1221 and a hand-grip slot 1222 that are connected to each other. The main slot 1221 is connected to the first slot body 121, and the hand-grip slot 1222 passes through the second end 112. The end of the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 extends into the hand-grip slot 1222. Figure 2 The portion of the second slot body 122 extending outward can be formed by processing a rounded corner or the like. For the second slot body 122 having the hand-grip groove 1222, since the hand-grip groove 1222 is closer to the second end 112 than the main body groove 1221, the hand-grip groove 1222 is processed to pass through the second end 112. Figure 1 When the electric toothbrush 2 is used up and placed in the open toothbrush portable box 1, the end, i.e., the bottom end, of the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 extends into the hand grip groove 1222. In this way, an operating gap with a certain space can be formed between the groove wall of the hand grip groove 1222 and the outer wall of the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2. When taking out the electric toothbrush 2, the user can easily take out the electric toothbrush 2 from the open toothbrush portable box 1 by pulling the bottom end of the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 with his fingers. In addition, see Figure 3 In the direction away from the main body groove 1221, the projection area of ​​the hand groove 1222 on the cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the housing 11 gradually increases. In this way, the hand groove 1222 can be made to present a larger outward expansion state, thereby widening the operating gap between the groove wall of the hand groove 1222 and the outer wall of the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2, further improving the convenience of taking out the electric toothbrush 2 from the open toothbrush portable box 1.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the housing 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 may include a first side surface and a second side surface that are arranged opposite to each other, a third side surface connected to one side of the first side surface and one side of the second side surface, and a fourth side surface connected to the other side of the first side surface and the other side of the second side surface; a placement groove 12 is arranged on the first side surface, and the curvature of the third side surface and the curvature of the fourth side surface are both smaller than the curvature of the second side surface. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first side and the second side are two sides of the open toothbrush portable box 1 that are opposite to each other, and the third side and the fourth side are two sides of the open toothbrush portable box 1 that are opposite to each other. The first side, the second side, the third side and the fourth side can be basically surrounded to form the outline of the housing 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the curvature of the third side and the fourth side is set to be less than the curvature of the second side, that is, the curvature of the third side and the fourth side is smaller than the curvature of the second side. In this way, the overall structure of the electric toothbrush assembly composed of the electric toothbrush 2 and the open toothbrush portable box 1 can be flat, not only can the third side and the fourth side of the open toothbrush portable box 1, that is, the flat surface contact the support surface when the electric toothbrush assembly is placed, so that the placement of the electric toothbrush assembly is more stable, and when the third side and the fourth side of the open toothbrush portable box 1 contact the support surface, the electric toothbrush 2 is located on the left or right side of the open toothbrush portable box 1, so that it is more convenient to take and put the electric toothbrush 2. The third side and the fourth side can be both planes; the first side can be a curved surface; or the first side and the second side can be both curved surfaces. It can be understood that the third side and the fourth side of the plane structure are relatively simple and convenient to process, and the first side and the second side of the curved surface structure can make the shell 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 more rounded. In addition, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The thickness dimension of the shell 11 of the open toothbrush portable case 1 between the first side and the second side is greater than the thickness dimension between the third side and the fourth side. In this way, the open toothbrush portable case 1 can be made into a sheet-like structure, so that the overall volume of the electric toothbrush assembly composed of the electric toothbrush 2 and the open toothbrush portable case 1 is smaller.

[0071] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The housing 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 may also include a first part and a second part connected to each other, wherein the outer wall of the first part is provided with a first groove 121, and the outer wall of the second part is provided with a second groove 122. Fig. 9As shown, the first part is the upper part of the housing 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1, and the second part is the lower part of the housing 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1. Since the overall structure of the electric toothbrush 2 is that the brush head 21 located at the top is slender and the brush handle 22 located at the bottom is thick, therefore, in the depth direction of the placement groove 12, the embodiment of the present application designs the thickness of the first part to be greater than the thickness of the second part. In this way, the first part with a larger thickness can be matched with the slender brush head 21, and the second part with a smaller thickness can be matched with the thick brush handle 22, so that the overall structure of the open toothbrush portable box 1 and the electric toothbrush 2 can be complementary, so that the rear parts of the two ends of the installed electric toothbrush assembly are not much different, which can not only make the overall structure of the electric toothbrush assembly more coordinated, but also improve the portability of the electric toothbrush assembly.

[0072] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The open toothbrush portable box 1 may further include a power supply assembly 14 disposed in the housing 11, and the power supply assembly 14 may include a mounting bracket, a battery 141, and a power supply structure 142. The mounting bracket may be integrally formed by an injection molding process, so that the mounting bracket has a high structural strength, so that the battery 141 can be stably supported, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the power supply assembly 14.

[0073] The battery 141 may be a rechargeable storage battery, such as a lithium battery. Of course, it may also be a dry cell or other form, which is not limited in the present application. The number and specifications of the battery 141 may be flexibly set according to actual needs. For example, the battery 141 may be Fig. 9 Of course, the number of batteries 141 can also be set to one, three, etc. according to factors such as battery life and space size. Fig. 9 As shown, the battery 141 can be arranged closer to the first part relative to the power supply structure 142, that is, Fig. 9 The upper part of the housing 11 of the open toothbrush portable box 1. In this way, the center of gravity of the electric toothbrush assembly formed by the electric toothbrush 2 and the open toothbrush portable box 1 can be more centered, avoiding the situation of top-light and foot-heavy or top-heavy and foot-light, thereby improving the user's feel when holding and carrying the electric toothbrush assembly, and further improving the user's experience.

[0074] The power supply structure 142 is used to charge the electric toothbrush 2. Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Fig.10 The power supply structure 142 may be an elastic power supply contact, and the elastic power supply contact part is exposed from the groove wall of the housing 11 corresponding to the placement groove 12. Figure 5 and Figure 7, a charging electrode 221 can be provided on the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2; the power supply structure 142 using elastic power supply contacts on the open toothbrush portable case 1 can cooperate with the charging electrode 221 of the upper handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 to electrically connect with each other to realize charging of the electric toothbrush 2. When the electric toothbrush 2 is placed in the placement groove 12, the elastic power supply contacts are compressed to be in contact with the wall surface of the electric toothbrush 2 and the wall surface of the placement groove 12. In this way, when the open toothbrush portable case 1 charges the electric toothbrush 2 through the elastic power supply contacts, the charging process of the electric toothbrush 2 can be made more stable and the charging efficiency can be higher.

[0075] See also Figure 6 , the power supply structure 142 may include two elastic power supply contacts spaced apart; one of the elastic power supply contacts is a positive contact, and the other elastic power supply contact is a negative contact. Since the electric toothbrush 2 is usually used in a watery environment, in order to avoid a short circuit in the power supply structure 142 due to contact with liquid water, a water storage groove 143 may be provided around the wall of the placement groove 12. The water storage groove 143 may accommodate liquid water left on the surfaces of the electric toothbrush 2 and the open toothbrush portable box 1 when the two are matched. The number of water storage grooves 143 may be one or more than two. Figure 6 As shown, when there is one water storage groove 143, the water storage groove 143 can be arranged on the wall surface of the slot wall of the placement slot 12 between the two elastic power supply contacts. When there are more than two water storage grooves 143, the water storage grooves 143 can be distributed on the wall surface of the slot wall of the placement slot 12 around the power supply structure 142. Figure 5 and Figure 7 , a limiting boss 222 may be provided on the handle 22 of the electric toothbrush 2 corresponding to the water storage groove 123, and the limiting boss 222 cooperates with the water storage groove 123. In this way, after using the electric toothbrush 2, the electric toothbrush 2 can be quickly and accurately placed on the open toothbrush portable box 1. It is understandable that the position and number of the limiting boss 222 correspond to the position and number of the water storage groove 143. For example, Figure 6 and 7 As shown, when a water storage groove 143 is arranged on the wall surface of the groove wall of the placement groove 12 between two elastic power supply contacts, a limiting boss 222 is also arranged on the wall surface of the outer shell of the brush handle 22 between two charging electrodes 221.

[0076] like Figure 4 and Fig. 9As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the power supply component 14 may also include a charging interface 15; the charging interface 15 is used to insert the electrical connector of the power cord so that the open toothbrush portable box 1 can be charged using a power adapter. Among them, the charging interface 15 can adopt a Micro USB interface, a Type-c interface, a Lightning interface, etc. Specifically, a charging unit is installed in the charging interface 15. The charging unit cooperates with the battery 141 of the open toothbrush portable box 1. When the battery 141 needs to be charged, the electrical connector of the power cord is inserted into the charging interface 15, and the power adapter is connected to a power source such as a power grid or a mobile power supply. Then, the battery 141 of the open toothbrush portable box 1 can be charged through the charging interface 15. In addition, the charging interface 15 is located on the end surface of the first part away from the second part. In this way, the charging interface 15 can be far away from the support surface, and the water on the support surface is not easy to contact the charging interface 15, thereby preventing the charging interface 15 from being damaged or moldy due to water ingress.
