[0019] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the utility model shown preferably provides an automatic unloading structure for a toilet brush, including a barrel 1, wherein the barrel 1 has a cavity 2 for vertically stacking brush heads, and the cavity 2 is divided into a storage area and a discharge area from top to bottom, and an opening 3 connected to the discharge area is penetrated through one side of the barrel 1, and a unloading structure 9 is arranged between the storage area and the discharge area, which can drive the brush heads to be accommodated one by one in the discharge area.

[0021] Specifically, multiple brush heads are stacked vertically in the cavity, and the discharge structure is used to place the brush heads one by one in the discharge area, while the remaining brush heads stay in the storage area, so that the user can directly take the brush head located in the discharge area at the bottom of the cavity from the opening, and the remaining brush heads are protected by staying in the storage area, which effectively avoids the problem of water dripping and contamination on the user's hands caused by contact with other unused brush heads when taking the brush head, and enables the user to take the brush head in order from bottom to top, solving the problem of difficulty in taking the brush head due to the excessive depth of the cavity.

[0022] Furthermore, the blanking structure 9 includes a collar 91, a first transmission member 8 and a second transmission member 10. The cylinder 1 has a slot 5 with an upper opening for placing a brush rod, the cylinder 1 has a cavity 6, and one side of the slot 5 is penetrated by a through groove 7 connected to the cavity 6. The collar 91 is movably arranged in the cavity 6, and a hook 92 is rotatably arranged on the collar 91. A notch 93 is connected between the cavity 2 and the cavity 6, and the hook 92 can be movably accommodated in the cavity 2 through the notch 93. The first transmission member 8 is connected to the hook 92 to drive the hook 92 to swing back and forth as the collar 91 moves up and down, and the second transmission member 10 is connected to the collar 91 to drive the collar 91 to move up and down, and the second transmission member 10 is partially accommodated in the slot 5 through the through groove 7 to abut against the brush rod.

[0023] Specifically, when the brush rod is inserted and placed in the slot, the brush rod presses against the second transmission member, so that the second transmission member is forced to drive the collar to move downward relative to the cylinder body, and then the first transmission member drives the hook in the collar to relatively flip as the collar moves downward. At this time, the hook is in a connection state of being disconnected from the cavity, and then the multiple brush heads in the cavity are stacked vertically, that is, the brush heads in the feeding area and the discharging area of ​​the cavity are in a close stacking state;

[0024] When the user needs to use it, after the user pulls the brush rod out of the slot, the second transmission component resets and drives the ring to move upward relative to the cylinder body. At this time, the hook claw in the ring is transmitted by the first transmission component, so that the hook claw moves upward with the ring. At the same time, the hook claw flips relative to the ring and is in the cavity and rises to form an active state of grabbing and lifting the brush head. Then, except for the brush head at the bottom of the discharge area, the remaining brush heads in the cavity are hooked by the hook claw and lifted and raised to the storage area, so that the brush heads are accommodated in the discharge area one by one, and the brush heads in the discharge area and the storage area are in a spaced-apart state at this time, effectively avoiding the contamination problem caused by contact between the user and other unused brush heads in the storage area when taking out the brush head in the discharge area, and at this time, one end of the second transmission component resets the convexity and is accommodated in the slot, so as to facilitate the next cycle of use after the subsequent brush rod is placed in the slot again.

[0025] Furthermore, the first transmission member 8 includes a second guide groove arranged in the cavity 6, and the second guide groove includes a vertical section 94 and an inclined section 95 which are connected in sequence from top to bottom. A second guide shaft 96 is arranged on one side of the hook 92, and the second guide shaft 96 is movably arranged in the second guide groove, and when the second guide shaft 96 is located in the inclined section 95, the hook 92 rotates relative to the ring 91 and disengages from the cavity 2, and when the second guide shaft 96 is located in the vertical section 94, the hook 92 rotates relative to the ring 91 and is accommodated in the cavity 2.

[0026] Specifically, when the hook moves up and down with the collar, the second guide shaft of the hook can be displaced to the vertical section or inclined section of the second guide groove as the collar moves up and down, thereby driving the hook to flip relative to the collar through the guidance of the vertical section and the inclined section.

[0027] Furthermore, the second transmission component 10 includes a second transmission rod 11 and a second elastic member 12, the second transmission rod 11 is rotatably arranged in the cavity 6, and one end of the second transmission rod 11 passes through the through slot 7 and extends into the slot 5, a third guide slot 13 is penetrated through the side wall of the other end of the second transmission rod 11, a third guide shaft 14 is arranged on one side of the ring 91, and the third guide shaft 14 is movably arranged in the third guide slot 13; the second elastic member 12 is connected between the second transmission rod 11 and the inner wall of the cavity 6 or between the ring 91 and the inner wall of the cavity 6 to drive one end of the second transmission rod 11 to elastically remain accommodated in the slot 5.

[0028] Specifically, in the initial state, the brush rod is inserted into the slot, and the brush rod is pressed against one end of the second transmission rod, so that the second transmission rod rotates and compresses the elastic force of the second elastic member. At this time, the collar is driven by the second transmission rod to remain in a downward state relative to the cavity, and at the same time, the second guide shaft of the hook in the collar moves downward and is in an inclined section, and the hook is separated from the gripping contact with the brush head;

[0029] When the user needs to use it, the user pulls the brush rod out of the slot, and the second transmission rod rotates due to the elastic force release of the second elastic member, and the third guide groove on the second transmission rod cooperates with the third guide shaft of the collar to drive the collar to move upward relative to the cavity, and then as the collar moves upward, the second guide shaft of the hook claw is driven to be in the straight section, and the hook claw flips and switches along the displacement of the second guide shaft from the inclined section to the straight section, and the hook claw grabs and lifts the brush head in the cavity. At this time, the second transmission rod is kept in the slot at one end by the elastic force of the second elastic member, so as to facilitate the next cycle of use after the subsequent brush rod is placed in the slot again.

[0030] Furthermore, the hook 92 and the collar 91 are both made of PP material, and the hook 92 can be bent and integrally connected to the collar 91. In this way, the hook can be bent and rotated relative to the collar, and the production cost and assembly steps are effectively saved by integrally forming the hook and the collar.

[0031] Furthermore, a movable bin 4 is movably disposed in the opening 3, and the movable bin 4 can be movably accommodated in the discharge area at the bottom of the cavity 2 or movably moved to the outside of the cylinder 1. The movable bin can then realize the function of drawing out the brush heads in the discharge area one by one in a drawer-like manner, thereby better realizing the anti-pollution protection of the brush heads.

[0032] Furthermore, the cylinder body 1 includes an inner cylinder 15 and an outer cylinder 16, the cavity 2 and the slot 5 are formed on the inner cylinder 15, the cavity 6 is formed between the inner cylinder 15 and the outer cylinder 16, the ring 91 is movably sleeved on the outside of the inner cylinder 15, the notch 93 is formed on the inner cylinder 15, and the opening 3 is formed on the outer cylinder 16.

[0033] Furthermore, a cover plate 18 capable of covering the opening of the cavity 2 is rotatably provided on the cylinder 1. Then, the user can add a brush head to the cavity by opening the cover plate.

[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. The technicians in this industry should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the description are only to illustrate the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model will have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
