[0003] The present application provides a horizontal toothbrush holder and a toothbrush assembly, which prevent the toothbrush from tipping over easily and allow the horizontal toothbrush holder to have more uses.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a horizontal toothbrush holder, which is used to place a toothbrush, and the horizontal toothbrush holder comprises: a seat body, a placement groove is formed on the outer surface of the seat body, the placement groove extends along the length direction of the seat body, and the placement groove is used to lie the toothbrush; a functional component, the functional component is arranged corresponding to the placement groove, the functional component is used to disinfect and dry the brush head of the toothbrush placed in the placement groove, and / or the functional component is used to charge the toothbrush placed in the placement groove; and a power supply component, the power supply component is arranged on the seat body, the power supply component is electrically connected to the functional component, and the power supply component is used to supply power to the functional component.
[0005] In some embodiments of the present application, the curvature of the side of the base body opposite to the side where the placement slot is located is greater than the curvature of the side of the base body adjacent to the side where the placement slot is located; or, the side of the base body opposite to the side where the placement slot is located is a plane. Thus, the whole formed by the toothbrush and the base body is flat, which can reduce the overall volume of the whole formed by the toothbrush and the base body, making it more convenient to carry when the horizontal toothbrush holder is used as a toothbrush portable box, or the side of the base body opposite to the side where the placement slot is located can be placed on a table, making the base body more stable.
[0006] In some embodiments of the present application, the gravity of the horizontal toothbrush holder is greater than the connection force between the toothbrush and the horizontal toothbrush holder, so that when the toothbrush is pulled upward to be taken out of the placement slot, the toothbrush can be smoothly separated from the horizontal toothbrush holder without affecting the position stability of the horizontal toothbrush holder itself.
[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the depth of the placement groove is less than half of the thickness of the brush handle of the toothbrush when lying down. Thus, the brush handle can provide an area sufficient for the user to hold the brush handle, making it easier for the user to hold the brush handle, reducing the contact area between the outer surface of the brush handle and the base, making it more convenient to take and put the toothbrush.
[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the placement slot includes: a brush head slot, the brush head slot is arranged near the first end of the base, and the brush head slot is used to receive the brush head of the toothbrush; a brush handle slot is arranged near the second end of the base, the brush handle slot is connected to the brush head slot, and the brush handle slot is used to receive the brush handle of the toothbrush. Thus, when placing the toothbrush, the brush head and the brush handle can be directly placed in the brush head slot and the brush handle slot respectively, so that the toothbrush can be stably placed in the placement slot without having to disassemble the brush handle and the brush head of the toothbrush before placing.
[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the brush handle groove runs through the end surface of the second end of the base body. Thus, the brush handle can be pulled upward by fingers to separate the brush handle from the placement groove, making it more convenient to take the brush handle.
[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, a hand buckle groove is provided on the end surface of the second end of the base body, and the hand buckle groove is connected to the brush handle groove. The hand buckle groove can provide a space for placing fingers, so that the brush handle can be more conveniently operated.
[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the power supply component further includes a battery disposed on the seat, the battery is electrically connected to the functional component, and the battery is used to power the functional component; wherein the distance between the battery and the first end of the seat along the length direction of the seat is smaller than the distance between the battery and the second end of the seat along the length direction of the seat. Thus, the center of gravity of the whole formed by the toothbrush and the horizontal toothbrush holder is more centered, which can improve the user's overall feel and stability when holding and carrying the toothbrush and the horizontal toothbrush holder.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, when the toothbrush is placed in the placement slot, the bristles of the brush head face the bottom wall of the placement slot; and / or, when the toothbrush is placed in the placement slot, the bristles are spaced from the slot wall of the placement slot. Thus, the bristles can be stored in the placement slot as much as possible to prevent the bristles from being soiled by liquid or dirt. While the bristles are shielded by the placement slot, a certain gap is formed between the placement slot, which improves the ventilation and drying effect of the bristles and prevents the brush head from being in a wet state for a long time to produce mold.
[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the functional component includes: a power supply contact, which is arranged on the groove wall of the placement groove, and the power supply contact is used to contact the charging contact located on the outer peripheral side of the brush handle of the toothbrush when the toothbrush is placed in the placement groove, so as to charge the toothbrush. The horizontal toothbrush holder can provide charging services for the toothbrush through the power supply contact and the charging contact. The power supply contact contacts the outer peripheral side of the toothbrush, and the outer peripheral side of the toothbrush is not easy to accumulate water, thereby improving the durability of the charging contact on the toothbrush.
[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the power contact is an elastic contact, and the head end of the power contact protrudes from the wall of the placement groove. When the toothbrush is placed in the placement groove, the charging contact presses the power contact until the outer peripheral side of the brush handle of the toothbrush contacts the wall of the placement groove. As a result, the wall of the placement groove can provide support for the brush handle, making the toothbrush more stable, and the charging contact is elastically compressed, which improves the stability of the electrical connection.
[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the functional components include: a disinfection lamp, which is arranged in the placement slot, and the disinfection lamp is used to disinfect the brush head when the toothbrush is placed in the placement slot; or / and a drying piece, which is arranged in the placement slot, and the drying piece is used to dry the brush head when the toothbrush is placed in the placement slot. The disinfection lamp can disinfect and sterilize the brush head to prevent bacteria and viruses from attaching to the brush head, and the drying piece can keep the brush head dry to prevent the brush head from being in a wet state for a long time, which may cause mold to form on the brush head.
[0016] In a second aspect, the present application further provides a toothbrush assembly, comprising a toothbrush and a horizontal toothbrush holder as described in any one of the above embodiments, wherein the toothbrush lies in the placement groove on the horizontal toothbrush holder.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: when the toothbrush is not needed, the toothbrush can be laid down in the placement groove of the seat body, and the seat body can separate the toothbrush from the countertop to prevent the bristles of the toothbrush from contacting the countertop and causing the bristles to be contaminated with dirt such as sewage and dust, and because the toothbrush is laid down in the placement groove, the center of gravity of the toothbrush is lower and it is placed more stably, making it less likely for the toothbrush to tip over; in addition, by arranging functional components, the horizontal toothbrush seat can not only provide a place for the toothbrush to lie down, but also has at least one of the functions of disinfection, drying and charging, thereby enhancing the user experience when using the horizontal toothbrush seat.

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0032] The present application provides a horizontal toothbrush stand and a toothbrush assembly to solve the problem in the related art that the toothbrush is at risk of tipping over or falling regardless of whether it is suspended or placed upright.
[0033] In a first aspect, the present application provides a horizontal toothbrush holder, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal toothbrush holder is used to place a toothbrush 60 . The horizontal toothbrush holder includes a holder body 10 . A placement groove 11 is formed on the outer surface of the holder body 10 . The placement groove 11 extends along the length direction of the holder body 10 . The placement groove 11 is used to place the toothbrush 60 lying down.
[0034] It can be understood that the base 10 can be placed on a table top such as a washbasin. When the toothbrush 60 is not needed, the toothbrush 60 can be placed in the placement groove 11 of the base 10. The base 10 can separate the toothbrush 60 from the table top to prevent the bristles 611 of the toothbrush 60 from contacting the table top and causing the bristles 611 to be contaminated with dirt such as sewage and dust. In addition, since the toothbrush 60 is placed in the placement groove 11, the center of gravity of the toothbrush 60 is lower and it is placed more stably, making it less likely for the toothbrush 60 to tip over.
[0035] Specifically, the horizontal toothbrush holder also includes a functional component 20 and a power supply component 30 (such as Figure 5), the functional component 20 is arranged corresponding to the placement groove 11, and the functional component 20 is used to sterilize and dry the brush head 61 of the toothbrush 60 placed in the placement groove 11, and / or the functional component 20 is used to charge the toothbrush 60 placed in the placement groove 11; the power supply component 30 is arranged on the seat body 10, and the power supply component 30 is electrically connected to the functional component 20, and the power supply component 30 is used to supply power to the functional component 20. It can be understood that by setting the functional component 20, the horizontal toothbrush holder can not only provide the toothbrush 60 with a lying position, but also has at least one of the functions of sterilization, drying and charging, thereby improving the user experience when using the horizontal toothbrush holder.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, one side of the placement groove 11 is an opening 111, and the opening 111 is used for the toothbrush 60 to enter and exit the placement groove 11. The placement groove 11 is an open groove arranged on the surface of the base 10, and the toothbrush 60 can be directly taken in and put in through the opening 111.
[0037] Continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the overall shape of the placement groove 11 is adapted to the overall shape of the outer contour of the toothbrush 60, so that the toothbrush 60 is placed more firmly in the placement groove 11, preventing the toothbrush 60 from shaking relative to the base 10.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the placement groove 11 includes a brush head groove 112 and a brush handle groove 113. The brush head groove 112 is arranged near the first end 12 of the base body 10, and the brush head groove 112 is used to accommodate the brush head 61 of the toothbrush 60; the brush handle groove 113 is arranged near the second end 13 of the base body 10, and the brush handle groove 113 is connected to the brush head groove 112, and the brush handle groove 113 is used to accommodate the brush handle 62 of the toothbrush 60. It can be understood that the brush head groove 112 and the brush handle groove 113 are respectively arranged close to the first end 12 and the second end 13 of the base body 10, and the first end 12 and the second end 13 are the two ends of the base body 10 along the length direction of the base body 10. When placing the toothbrush 60, the brush head 61 and the brush handle 62 are directly placed in the brush head groove 112 and the brush handle groove 113 respectively, so that the toothbrush 60 can lie stably in the placement groove 11 without disassembling the brush handle 62 and the brush head 61 of the toothbrush 60 and placing them, so that the toothbrush 60 can be placed on the base body 10 more conveniently.
[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the brush handle groove 113 passes through the end surface of the second end 13 of the seat body 10 to form a through opening 14. When the user takes the toothbrush 60 out of the placement groove 11, in addition to directly lifting the brush handle 62, the user can also touch the end of the brush handle 62 close to the through opening 14 with a finger and then press the brush handle 62 upward to detach the brush handle 62 from the placement groove 11, making it more convenient to take the brush handle 62. In addition, the water in the placement groove 11 can also be discharged through the through opening 14 to prevent the water from remaining in the placement groove 11 and causing problems such as mold.
[0040] Furthermore, a hand buckle groove 15 is provided on the end surface of the second end 13 of the seat body 10, and the hand buckle groove 15 is connected to the brush handle groove 113. It should be noted that when the user uses a finger to pull the end of the brush handle 62 close to the through-port 14, the hand buckle groove 15 can provide a placement space for the finger, so that the brush handle 62 can be pulled more conveniently. It should also be noted that the hand buckle groove 15 and the placement groove 11 can be formed at the same time, or the hand buckle groove 15 and the placement groove 11 can be formed separately. Preferably, when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement groove 11, the end of the brush handle 62 close to the through-port 14 protrudes from the hand buckle groove 15, so that the user can pull the brush handle 62 more conveniently.
[0041] Continue to see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the curvature of a surface of the base 10 opposite to the surface where the placement groove 11 is located (i.e., the first surface 16) is greater than the curvature of a surface of the base 10 adjacent to the surface where the placement groove 11 is located (i.e., the second surface 17), that is, both the first surface 16 and the second surface 17 are curved surfaces, and the degree of curvature of the first surface 16 is greater than the degree of curvature of the second surface 17, so that the whole formed by the toothbrush 60 and the base 10 is flat, which can reduce the overall volume of the whole formed by the toothbrush 60 and the base 10, making it more convenient to carry when the horizontal toothbrush holder is used as a portable box for the toothbrush 60. When the base 10 needs to be placed on a table, the second surface 17 can be placed on the table to make the base 10 placed more stably.
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment of the present application, the surface (first surface 16) of the base 10 opposite to the surface where the placement groove 11 is located can be a plane. When the base 10 needs to be placed on a table, the first surface 16 can be placed on the table so that the base 10 can be placed more stably. At this time, the opening 111 of the placement groove 11 faces upward, and the distance between the toothbrush 60 and the table can be increased to prevent dirt on the table from adhering to the toothbrush 60.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the gravity of the horizontal toothbrush holder is greater than the connection force between the toothbrush 60 and the horizontal toothbrush holder, so that when the toothbrush 60 is pulled upward to be removed from the placement slot 11, the horizontal toothbrush holder can remain in contact with the tabletop under the action of the gravity of the horizontal toothbrush holder, so that the toothbrush 60 can be smoothly separated from the horizontal toothbrush holder without affecting the position stability of the horizontal toothbrush holder itself. It should also be noted that the connection force between the toothbrush 60 and the horizontal toothbrush holder may only include the friction between the toothbrush 60 and the horizontal toothbrush holder, and the connection force between the toothbrush 60 and the horizontal toothbrush holder may also include the suction force of the toothbrush holder 60 on the toothbrush 60 through devices such as magnetic suction parts.
[0044] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the depth of the placement groove 11 is less than half of the thickness dimension of the brush handle 62 of the toothbrush when it is lying down. It should be noted that the thickness dimension of the brush handle 62 when it is lying down in the placement groove 11 refers to the thickness of the brush handle 62 along the depth direction of the placement groove 11 when the toothbrush is lying down in the placement groove 11, so that when the toothbrush is lying down in the placement groove 11, a sufficient part of the brush handle 62 is exposed from the placement groove 11, so that when the toothbrush 60 is taken out, the brush handle 62 can provide a sufficient area for the user to hold, which is convenient for the user to hold the brush handle 62. In addition, the contact area between the outer surface of the brush handle 62 and the base 10 can be reduced, and the resistance of the base 10 to the brush handle 62 when taking and placing the toothbrush 60 can be reduced, making it more convenient to take and place the toothbrush 60.
[0045] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11, the maximum cross-section S of the handle 62 of the toothbrush 60 is perpendicular to the direction XX in which the toothbrush 60 enters and exits the placement slot 11, and is exposed from the placement slot 11 through the opening 111, so that when the toothbrush 60 is taken out, the handle 62 can provide an area sufficient for the user to hold, making it convenient for the user to hold the handle 62. In addition, the contact area between the outer surface of the handle 62 and the base 10 can be reduced, and the resistance of the base 10 to the handle 62 when taking and placing the toothbrush 60 can be reduced, making it more convenient to take and place the toothbrush 60. It can be understood that Figure 4 Taking the perspective shown as an example, Figure 4 In the figure, the direction in which the toothbrush 60 enters and exits the placement slot 11 is vertical, the maximum cross-section of the brush handle 62 perpendicular to the direction in which the toothbrush 60 enters and exits the placement slot 11 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the opening 111 of the placement slot 11 faces upward.
[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the power supply component 30 also includes a battery 31 arranged on the base 10, and the battery 31 is electrically connected to the functional component 20. The battery 31 is used to power the functional component 20. The battery 31 can be a dry cell or a storage battery. The present application does not limit the model and type of the battery 31.
[0047] The distance between the battery 31 and the first end 12 of the base 10 along the length direction of the base 10 is smaller than the distance between the battery 31 and the second end 13 of the base 10 along the length direction of the base 10, so that the battery 31 is closer to the first end 12 of the base 10. It can be understood that the weight of the brush handle 62 is usually greater than that of the brush head 61, and the brush handle groove 113 is closer to the second end 13 of the base 10. When the toothbrush 60 is placed in the placement groove 11, the center of gravity of the toothbrush 60 is closer to the second end 13 of the base 10. In this embodiment, by placing the battery 31 closer to the first end 12 of the base 10, the center of gravity of the battery 31 is closer to the first end 12 of the base 10, thereby reducing the influence of the toothbrush 60, making the center of gravity of the whole formed by the toothbrush 60 and the horizontal toothbrush stand more centered, and improving the overall feel and stability of the toothbrush 60 and the horizontal toothbrush stand when the user holds and carries it.
[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement groove 11, the bristles 611 of the brush head 61 face the bottom wall of the placement groove 11, so that when the toothbrush 60 is stored in the placement groove 11, the bristles 611 of the brush head 61 can be stored in the placement groove 11 as much as possible to prevent the bristles 611 from being soiled by water or dirt.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11, the bristles 611 can be spaced apart from the slot wall of the placement slot 11 so that there is a certain gap between the bristles 611 and the slot wall of the placement slot 11, so that the bristles 611 can be suspended in the air to prevent the bristles 611 from contacting the slot wall of the placement slot 11 and causing the bristles 611 to be dirty. While the bristles 611 are shielded by the placement slot 11, a certain gap is formed between the bristles 611 and the placement slot 11, which can improve the ventilation and drying effect of the bristles 611 and prevent the bristles 611 from being in a wet state for a long time and generating mold. Specifically, when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11, the bristles 611 of the brush head 61 face the bottom wall of the brush head slot 112 and are spaced apart from the slot wall of the brush head slot 112.
[0050] Specifically, the functional component 20 includes at least one of a disinfection lamp 21 , a drying element, and a power supply contact 22 .
[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, when the functional component 20 includes a disinfection lamp 21, the disinfection lamp 21 is arranged in the placement slot 11, and the disinfection lamp 21 is used to disinfect the brush head 61 when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11. The disinfection lamp 21 can be an ultraviolet lamp, and the disinfection lamp 21 can generate ultraviolet rays for disinfecting the brush head 61. The ultraviolet rays can disinfect and sterilize the brush head 61 to prevent bacteria and viruses from adhering to the brush head 61. Specifically, the disinfection lamp 21 can be arranged on the bottom wall of the brush head slot 112, so that when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11, the disinfection lamp 21 can be opposite to the brush head 61, so that the ultraviolet rays generated by the disinfection lamp 21 can be more concentratedly directed to the brush head 61, thereby further improving the disinfection effect on the brush head 61.
[0052] When the functional component 20 includes a drying element, the drying element is disposed in the placement slot 11, and the drying element is used to dry the brush head 61 when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11. The drying element may be a fan or an electric heating element, and the drying element is used to air-dry or dry the brush head 61, which can prevent the brush head 61 from being in a wet state for a long time and causing mold to grow on the brush head 61. Specifically, the drying element can be disposed on the bottom wall of the brush head slot 112, so that when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11, the drying element can be opposite to the brush head 61, which can further improve the drying effect on the brush head 61.
[0053] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, when the functional component 20 includes a power supply contact 22, the power supply contact 22 is disposed on the groove wall of the placement groove 11, and the power supply contact 22 is used to connect with the charging contact 63 (such as the charging contact 63) located on the outer peripheral side of the brush handle 62 of the toothbrush 60 when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement groove 11. Fig.10 ) to charge the toothbrush 60. It can be understood that the power supply contact 22 is a conductive component made of conductive materials such as copper or copper alloy. When the toothbrush 60 is placed in the placement slot 11, the power supply contact 22 contacts the charging contact 63, so that the horizontal toothbrush holder is electrically connected to the toothbrush 60. The horizontal toothbrush holder can provide charging services for the toothbrush 60 through the power supply contact 22 and the charging contact 63. In addition, the power supply contact 22 contacts the peripheral side of the toothbrush, and the peripheral side of the toothbrush is not easy to accumulate water, which can improve the durability of the power supply contact 22.
[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, the power supply contact 22 is an elastic contact, and the head end of the power supply contact 22 protrudes from the groove wall of the placement groove 11. When the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement groove 11, the charging contact 63 squeezes the power supply contact 22. It can be understood that the power supply contact 22 is elastic and can be elastically retracted. When the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement groove 11, the charging contact 63 contacts and squeezes the power supply contact 22. The power supply contact 22 abuts against the charging contact 63 under the action of its own elastic restoring force, so that the charging contact 63 and the power supply contact 22 are in closer contact, so as to prevent the charging contact 63 and the power supply contact 22 from having poor contact, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection; after the toothbrush 60 is taken out, the power supply contact 22 can be reset by its own elastic restoring force.
[0055] Furthermore, when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11, the charging contact 63 squeezes the power supply contact 22 until the outer peripheral side of the brush handle 62 of the toothbrush 60 contacts the slot wall of the placement slot 11, so that the slot wall of the placement slot 11 can provide support for the brush handle 62, so that the toothbrush 60 is placed more stably, and prevents the power supply contact 22 from making the brush handle 62 suspended when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11, so that the toothbrush 60 is easily separated from the placement slot 11 due to factors such as vibration. Specifically, the power supply contact 22 is arranged on the slot wall of the brush handle slot 113, so that the power supply contact 22 contacts the charging contact 63.
[0056] Continue to see Fig. 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the power supply contact 22 may be provided with one or more, the number of the charging contacts 63 is the same as the power supply contacts 22, and when the toothbrush 60 lies in the placement slot 11, the charging contacts 63 correspond one to one with the power supply contacts 22.
[0057] Continue to see Fig. 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a water collecting groove 18 is provided on the groove wall of the placement groove 11, and the water collecting groove 18 is provided adjacent to the power contact 22, that is, the water collecting groove 18 is provided near the power contact 22. It is understandable that since the use environment of the toothbrush 60 is usually a watery environment, liquid is usually attached to the handle 62 of the toothbrush 60. When the toothbrush 60 is placed in the placement groove 11, the liquid on the handle 62 will drip into the placement groove 11. When the liquid flows to the vicinity of the power contact 22, the liquid will flow into the water collecting groove 18 under the action of gravity, which can prevent the power contact 22 from short-circuiting due to the liquid. It should also be noted that when there are multiple power contacts 22, the water collecting groove 18 is located between two adjacent power contacts 22 to prevent multiple power contacts 22 from short-circuiting due to liquid.
[0058] The outer side of the brush handle 62 may be provided with a protrusion 65 (such as Fig.10), when the toothbrush lies in the placement groove 11, the protrusion 65 is inserted into the water collecting groove 18, so that the protrusion 65 and the water collecting groove 18 are aligned, thereby realizing the positioning and placement of the toothbrush in the water collecting groove 18, and can also limit the toothbrush to prevent the toothbrush from shaking relative to the base 10.
[0059] Continue to see Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the horizontal toothbrush holder further includes a first magnetic member 40, which is disposed on the holder body 10 and is used to connect with a second magnetic member 64 (such as Fig.10 ) magnetic attraction. The first magnetic member 40 and the second magnetic member 64 attract each other, which can strengthen the connection force between the toothbrush 60 and the horizontal toothbrush holder, and prevent the toothbrush 60 from being separated from the placement slot 11 due to factors such as vibration during placement and carrying. Among them, the first magnetic member 40 and the second magnetic member 64 can be permanent magnets or electromagnets. Specifically, the first magnetic member 40 can be arranged on the bottom wall of the brush head slot 112, and the second magnetic member 64 can be arranged on the peripheral side of the brush handle 62.
[0060] It should be noted that when the opening 111 of the placement slot 11 is facing downward, the support force provided by the horizontal toothbrush holder for the toothbrush 60 is minimal. At this time, the toothbrush 60 is most likely to detach from the placement slot 11. In order to prevent the toothbrush 60 from detaching from the placement slot 11 without being subjected to external force, in one embodiment of the present application, when the opening 111 of the placement slot 11 is facing downward, the suction force of the first magnetic component 40 and the second magnetic component 64 is greater than the gravity of the toothbrush 60, so that the suction force of the first magnetic component 40 and the second magnetic component 64 can be used to fix the toothbrush 60 in the placement slot 11. This can ensure that when the opening 111 of the placement slot 11 is facing in any direction, the toothbrush 60 will not detach from the placement slot 11 without being subjected to force. It can also prevent the toothbrush 60 from detaching from the placement slot 11 when the toothbrush 60 and the horizontal toothbrush holder are subjected to the vibration force generated by carrying and movement and the separation force generated by normal extrusion.
[0061] Continue to see Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the power supply component 30 also includes a power socket 32, which is located at the first end 12 of the seat body 10, and is electrically connected to the battery 31 and the power socket 32 and the power contact 22. The power socket 32 can be electrically connected to a power source via a data cable to supply power to the battery 31 and the power contact 22; wherein the power socket 32 can be a circular interface or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface or other types of interface, and the present application does not impose specific restrictions on the type of the power socket 32.
[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, the horizontal toothbrush holder also includes a sealing plug 50, which includes a plug body 51 and an elastic connection column 52. The plug body 51 is connected to the holder body 10 through the elastic connection column 52. The plug body 51 can open and seal the power socket 32 so that the power socket 32 can remain sealed when the power socket 32 is not needed, thereby preventing water and dirt from entering the power socket 32.
[0063] In a second aspect, based on the above-mentioned horizontal toothbrush holder, the present application further provides a toothbrush assembly, which includes a toothbrush 60 and a horizontal toothbrush holder as in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the toothbrush lies in a placement groove 11 on the horizontal toothbrush holder.
[0064] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
