[0035] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. More details are elaborated in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can obviously be implemented in a variety of other ways different from the description. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations and deductions based on actual application situations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should not be limited by the content of this specific embodiment.

[0036] According to the brush head packaging 1 of the utility model Figure 5 As shown, it mainly includes two parts: a shell member 20 constituting an external shape and a support member 10 inserted into the shell member 20. A plurality of brush heads 2 for electric toothbrushes are held in the support member 10. The shell member 20 is formed into a shape matching the support member 10. In this example, the shell member 20 is a rectangular box-shaped body, and the shell member 20 can be open at one end or both ends, and the support member 10 is inserted into the shell member 20 through the open end, thereby forming a brush head package 1.

[0037] The outer shell 20 and the support 10 of the brush head package 1 are both made of foldable sheets, usually cardboard. In other alternative embodiments, the package may also include other composite materials, such as cardboard coated with a coating.

[0038] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows the unfolded state of the supporting member 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 The folded state, that is, the packaging state, of the support member 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the utility model is shown. In the production process of packaging the brush head, the support member 10 is folded from the unfolded state to the packaging state, and then inserted into the outer shell member 20 in the packaging state. In this example, the support member 10 in the packaging state has three grooves 110 for placing the brush head 2. Each groove 110 includes two insertion parts 120, which are separated by a distance. Both ends of each insertion part 120 along the extension direction of the groove 110 are open to form an insertion channel, and the size of the insertion channel of the insertion part 120 allows the handle of the brush head 2 to pass through, but not the bristle part of the brush head 2. It should be understood that the number of grooves 110 and the number of insertion parts 110 can be changed according to the packaging needs of the brush head 2 sold. It should be understood that the support member 10 should have at least one groove 110 and one insertion part 120.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the support member 10 in the unfolded state is a whole rectangular cardboard blank, and a plurality of main fold lines 112 forming grooves 110 are preset on the cardboard. The main fold lines 112 extend from one side edge of the cardboard blank to the other side edge opposite thereto and are parallel to each other. Figure 1 In the example shown, the support member 10 is provided with 6 main fold lines 112, which are arranged in pairs to form 3 grooves 110. In addition, an attachment fold line 126 is preset between two adjacent grooves 112, which also extends from one side edge of the cardboard blank to the other side edge opposite thereto.

[0040] When the support member 10 is in the unfolded state, the support member further has an attachment crease line 126 between adjacent grooves 110. The attachment crease line 126 also extends from one side edge of the cardboard blank to the other opposite side edge and is parallel to the main crease line 112, but the folding direction of the attachment crease line 126 is opposite to that of the main crease line 112.

[0041] In addition, the support member 10 in the unfolded state further includes a convex folding portion 130 which is folded to form the insertion portion 120. Each convex folding portion 130 is surrounded by an auxiliary crease line 122 and a cutting line 124, wherein the cutting line 124 forms a position where the convex folding portion 130 is separated from the main body of the cardboard. Figure 1In the example shown, the auxiliary crease lines 122 and the cutting lines 124 on the periphery of a single convex fold portion 130 form a rectangle, the cutting line 124 is substantially perpendicular to the crease line 112 and spans across a main crease line 12, one auxiliary crease line 122 is adjacent to the main crease line 112, and another auxiliary crease line 122 is separated by a distance from another main crease line 112 forming the same groove, and is preferably arranged in the middle position between the main crease line 112 and the attached crease line 126 and is arranged parallel to the crease lines 112 and 126.

[0042] In an alternative embodiment, the periphery of the convex fold portion 130 that forms the insertion portion 120 after folding can also be formed into other shapes. For example, a portion of the edge of the convex fold portion 130 that abuts the bristles of the brush head 2, that is, a portion of the edge at the cutting line 124 can be formed into an arc that conforms to the outer contour of the bristles. This can further even out the force applied to the bristles, thereby protecting the bristles from deformation.

[0043] Figure 2 Shows Figure 1 The cardboard is folded from the unfolded state to the packaged state. The main fold line 112 is folded at a right angle to form the groove 110. The attached fold line 126 is folded in the opposite direction so that the adjacent grooves 110 are arranged side by side. At the same time, the auxiliary fold line 112 on one side of the insertion part 120 is folded 90 degrees relative to the side wall at a position approximately in the middle height of the side wall of the groove 110, and the auxiliary fold line 112 on the other side of the insertion part 120 is folded 90 degrees vertically relative to the bottom wall of the groove 110 adjacent to a main fold line 112, thereby making the first part of the convex fold part 130 in the cardboard blank extend vertically upward from the bottom of the groove 110, and the second part is separated from the bottom of the groove 110 by a distance and extends parallel to the bottom of the groove 110. Preferably, another fold line is preset between the first part and the second part so that the first part is folded 90 degrees relative to the second part, so that the convex fold part 130 is separated from the main body of the cardboard blank, forming an insertion part 120 that can insert the brush head 2. In this example, the first portion of the convex folding portion 130 is folded and abuts against the side wall of the groove 110 , which helps to hold the inserting portion 120 to prevent it from being deformed.

[0044] The length, width and depth of the groove 110 in the support member 10 depend on the size of the brush head 2 to be placed. The depth of the groove 110 should be greater than the height of the bristle portion of the brush head 2. On the other hand, the size of the convex fold 130 forming the insertion portion 120 along the length direction of the groove 110 is, for example, about 1 cm. The height of the insertion portion 120 protruding from the bottom of the groove 110 should be less than the depth of the groove 110, that is, the maximum height of the insertion portion 120 relative to the bottom of the groove 110 is less than the depth of the groove 110, preferably, the height of the insertion portion 120 is approximately half of the groove 110. More preferably, the height of the insertion portion 120 should be selected to be as low as possible under the condition that the handle of the brush head 2 can be inserted, so that the insertion portion 120 is as close to the bottom of the bristles as possible at the position where it abuts against the bristles of the brush head 2, which will be beneficial to protect the bristles and minimize the possibility of the bristles being squeezed and deformed.

[0045] After the entire support member 10 is folded into a packaging state, the corresponding toothbrush head 2 can be inserted. Figure 3 As shown, for a support member 10 having two insertion portions 120 in one groove 110, first, the brush head is inserted into the lower insertion portion 120, and then, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, a brush head is inserted into another inserting portion 120 above the groove 110. Finally, when each inserting portion 120 is loaded with the electric toothbrush head 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the entire holder 10 is inserted into the housing 20, thereby forming the brush head packaging according to the present invention.

[0046] The outer surface of the outer shell 20 may be printed with patterns, and the outer layer may be additionally covered with a plastic film to provide more reliable protection for the packaging.

[0047] The crease lines and punching lines on the cardboard blank before folding the carrier 10 can be formed by punching in one or more steps.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, end baffles can be integrally formed at both ends of the groove 110 of the support member 10 or at the end where the brush head 2 is inserted. The end baffles are connected to the edge of the groove 110 through a crease line, and the baffles are folded vertically relative to the bottom of the groove 110, thereby forming a shield for the end of the brush head package 1.

[0049] It should be understood that there may be other preset ways to form the convex folded portion 130 of the inserting portion 120 by folding upward relative to the bottom of the groove 110 in the blank of the supporting member 10, and the auxiliary crease lines of the convex folded portion 130 may be symmetrically arranged relative to the groove 110.

[0050] In addition, a positioning portion may be preset in the blank in the groove 110 , and the handle of the brush head 2 may be positioned by folding it toward the inside of the groove, thereby reducing unnecessary displacement of the brush head 2 .

[0051] The brush head packaging according to the utility model is made of cardboard, which meets environmental protection requirements, and because the supporting member 10 is folded from a whole rectangular cardboard, the cost is low and the blank volume is small. The groove 110 and the inserting part 120 in the supporting member 10 of the brush head packaging formed by the structure of the utility model can well protect the bristles, and the bristles will not be crushed during transportation and sales.

[0052] The supporting member 10 of the package according to the utility model can be formed by punching and folding, and no other manufacturing steps are required, so the manufacturing process is simple.

[0053] According to the packaging of the utility model, the width of each groove 110 of the supporting member 10 is set to correspond to the widest part of the brush head 2, and the grooves 110 are preferably arranged close to each other. In this way, on the one hand, the volume of the brush head packaging is minimized, which is better for packaging a large number of brush heads. On the other hand, the close fit between adjacent grooves 110 and 110 also reduces the possibility of deformation of the grooves 110.

[0054] Although the utility model is disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make possible changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, any modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the utility model without departing from the content of the technical solution of the utility model shall fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the utility model.
