Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of daily necessities, in particular to a toothbrush with a timing prompting function. Background Art

[0002] As people pay more and more attention to oral health, in order to meet the needs of consumers, existing toothbrush manufacturers have launched a variety of toothbrushes. In order to allow users, especially children, to ensure that the toothbrush is used for a sufficient period of time, some manufacturers have also launched various toothbrushes with timing or light prompt functions.

[0003] For example, the existing patent CN203226418U discloses a flashing toothbrush, which designs a toothbrush that uses a light-emitting module for light prompts. However, in order to achieve the lighting effect of the toothbrush handle, the light-emitting module is placed in the hollow handle through a slide rail, so that when the toothbrush handle is produced, a hollow groove and a slide rail for fixing and clamping the light-emitting module are formed inside the groove. This increases the difficulty of production. In addition, during the assembly process, workers also need to insert the light-emitting module into the groove and form a clamping relationship with the slide rail, which makes the assembly more complicated and increases labor costs.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention designs a toothbrush with a timing reminder function. Utility Model Content

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a toothbrush with a timing reminder function includes: a brush head 1, a brush handle 2, a timing reminder unit 3 and a base 4.

[0024] The brush head 1 is connected to the brush handle 2. The brush handle 2 is hollow inside to form a receiving cavity 21. A light guide seat 22 is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity 21. A light guide column 221 is provided at the upper end of the light guide seat 22. A snap-in groove 222 and a positioning baffle 223 are provided below the light guide seat 22.

[0025] The timing prompt unit 3 is limitedly disposed below the light guide seat 22 by the snap-in groove 222 and the positioning baffle 223. The base 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 5 and then connected to the bottom of the light guide seat 22 through the connecting sleeve 5. The base 4 is made of soft material, and the timing prompt unit 3 can be triggered by the base 4 to provide a light prompt for the brushing time.

[0026] Specifically, a groove is provided at the bottom of the light guide column 221, and a raised portion is provided in front of the timing circuit board 31. The LED lamp is installed on the raised portion of the timing circuit board 31, so that the LED lamp can be inserted into the groove provided at the bottom of the light guide column 221 and is tightly attached to the lower surface of the light guide column.

[0027] At the same time, the brush handle 2 and the light guide column 221 are made of transparent materials. With this arrangement, when the LED light 33 is turned on, its light path enters the display piece along the light guide column 221, and part of the light is transmitted through the transparent brush handle 2, which greatly improves the effect of the light prompt.

[0028] As another supplement, display pieces can be set on the light guide column of the present solution, which can be dolls of various shapes, and preferably made of transparent materials. The present solution has no restrictions on the shape of the display pieces, and the shape of the display pieces can be replaced in actual production, so that the product has a richer format, differentiates the product, and increases the attractiveness of the product to consumers.

[0029] In addition, the receiving groove inside the brush handle can be filled with fluorescent liquid or various sequins and other materials to enhance the effect of the toothbrush when it is luminous.

[0030] Specifically, the timing prompt unit 3 includes: a timing circuit board 31, a power supply component 32, an LED light 33 and a switch 34. The timing circuit board 31, the LED light 33 and the power supply component 32 are electrically connected and are controlled by the switch 34.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown in (A), the power supply assembly 32 includes two batteries connected in series, and the positioning baffle 223 can be clamped in the gap between the two batteries. Through the clamping groove and the positioning baffle, the timing prompt unit can be firmly clamped and positioned under the light guide seat to avoid abnormal noise when brushing teeth.

[0032] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 3 In (B), the light guide seat 22 is provided with an opening at the position of the clamping groove 222, and the height of the opening is equal to the sum of the heights of the timing circuit board and the battery. Such a configuration can also increase the stability of the connection of the timing prompt unit.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a connection recess 23 is provided at the bottom of the brush handle 2, and the light guide seat 22 is sealed and installed in the connection recess 23, and a fixed connection is formed by ultrasonic welding.

[0034] The light guide seat 22 has an outer convex rib 224, and the inner circle side of the connecting sleeve 5 is provided with an inner groove 51, and then the connecting sleeve 5 is connected to the bottom of the light guide seat 22 through the cooperation of the outer convex rib 224 and the inner groove 51, and the base 4 has a socket recess 43 that can cooperate with the connecting sleeve, and is connected to the bottom of the connecting sleeve 5 by means of rubber coating.

[0035] Preferably, a trigger protrusion 41 is provided inside the base 4, and the trigger protrusion 41 corresponds to the position of the switch element 34. When in use, the switch element can be triggered by pressing the base, so that the timing prompt unit starts timing.

[0036] More preferably, a suction cup 42 is provided at the lower portion of the base 4, and the suction cup 42 is used to fix the toothbrush on a horizontal plane.

[0037] Working process:

[0038] When the user uses the toothbrush, the trigger protrusion 41 can be pressed on the soft base to trigger the switch, thereby making the toothbrush start timing. When the brushing reaches a certain period of time, the timing circuit board 31 controls the LED light to light up. At this time, the light of the LED light against the lower surface of the light guide column enters the inside of the toothbrush handle along the light guide column, and forms a lighting effect through the transparent toothbrush handle, thereby prompting the user's brushing time.

[0039] Of course, the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any modifications made according to the spirit of the main technical solution of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
