[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN2666372Y discloses an electric toothbrush head using a U-shaped rocker, which includes a brush rod and a brush plate mounted on the end of the brush rod, a transmission shaft is provided inside the brush rod, a bearing is installed between the transmission shaft and the brush rod, a clearance compensation spring is installed on the shoulder of the transmission shaft, a U-shaped rocker is movably installed on the short shafts on both sides of the rear of the brush plate, the concave ball head at the bottom of the U-shaped rocker is movably matched with the eccentric convex ball head at the front end of the transmission shaft, a mounting platform is provided on the inner side of the end of the brush rod, a clearance compensation spring is provided on the outer side of the mounting platform, and the brush plate and the mounting platform of the brush rod are installed on the same straight axis. The transmission shaft rotates, and the brush plate is driven to perform reciprocating large swing angle rotation through the U-shaped rocker connected to its eccentric convex ball head. This electric toothbrush head adopts a transmission mechanism composed of a transmission shaft with an eccentric convex ball head and a U-shaped rocker, which can drive the brush plate to perform reciprocating rotation with a large swing amplitude. At the same time, the clearance compensation spring on the shoulder of the transmission shaft can automatically adjust the clearance between the eccentric convex ball head at the front end of the transmission shaft and the concave ball head at the bottom end of the U-shaped rocker.
