The upper handle groove 601 and the lower handle groove 201 are combined to form an arc-shaped fixing groove that matches the handle of the electric toothbrush 9. After the handle of the electric toothbrush 9 is positioned and pressed and fixed by the upper handle groove 601 and the lower handle groove 201, the electric toothbrush 9 can be well kept in a horizontal state. Through the cylinder 4, the positioning pressing plate 5 presses and fixes the handle of the electric toothbrush 9 from the top of the positioning pressing block 6. The other end of the positioning pressing plate 5 is provided with a guide groove 502, and the guide groove 502 is set in a circular shape. The central axis of the guide groove 502 is just opposite to the brush head of the electric toothbrush 9. A calibration weight 7 is arranged in the guide groove 502. The calibration weight 7 is positioned and pressed against the brush head of the electric toothbrush 9 through the guide groove 502. The weight of the calibration weight 7 loaded on the brush head of the electric toothbrush 9 can act vertically and completely on the brush head.

[0022] In this embodiment, in order to achieve better adjustment and tightening of the electric toothbrush 9 by the positioning block 5, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5A screw 602 is provided on the back of the positioning pressing block 6. Preferably, in order to evenly press the handle of the electric toothbrush 9 with the positioning pressing block 6, two screws 602 are provided.
