A plurality of rubber hairs are annularly distributed on the foundation pillar, and the lengths of the rubber hairs are gradually reduced from the center of the foundation pillar to the top end and the bottom end of the foundation pillar; and the foundation pillar is made of an elastic material. Due to the fact that the rubber bristles on the base column are gradually arranged from high to low from the center of the base column to the two ends of the base column, when the rubber bristles at the top end and the bottom end of the base column make contact with the gaps between the metal tooth hoop and the teeth, the rubber bristles located in the middle of the base column keep making contact with the gaps between the metal tooth hoop and the teeth all the time. According to the interdental brush cleaning tool, the contact area of the rubber bristles and the gaps between the metal tooth hoops and the teeth is greatly increased, and the cleaning efficiency of the gaps between the metal tooth hoops and the teeth is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cleaning tool, in particular to an interdental brush cleaning tool. Background Art

[0002] During orthodontic treatment, metal braces are usually worn as orthodontic tools. When the metal braces are worn on the teeth, it is impossible to achieve complete fitting between the metal braces and the tooth surfaces. There are gaps between the metal braces and the teeth, and food residues are likely to remain in the gaps. Since the gaps between the metal braces and the teeth are small, it is not easy to clean them thoroughly with a toothbrush, which affects the oral health of the orthodontic patients. Therefore, most orthodontic patients use interdental brush cleaning tools to clean the gaps between the metal braces and the teeth. However, the rubber bristles of the existing interdental brush cleaning tools become longer in turn from top to bottom. As shown in A in Figure 5 and A in Figure 6 , when the rubber bristles of the existing interdental brush cleaning tool clean the metal braces, only a small part of the longer rubber bristles extend into the gaps between the metal braces and the tooth surfaces, and only a small area of the gaps between the metal braces and the tooth surfaces is locally cleaned, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to some extent. For this purpose, the utility model provides an interdental brush cleaning tool.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: an interdental brush cleaning tool, including a cleaning part, and the cleaning part includes a base column; a plurality of rubber bristles are annularly distributed on the base column, and the lengths of the rubber bristles are arranged from long to short from the center of the base column to the top and bottom ends of the base column; the base column is made of an elastic material.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the diameter of the base column is arranged from small to large from the top end to the bottom end.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the length of the area on the base column where the rubber bristles are provided is 6.9 - 7.1 mm.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, it further includes a mounting part; the mounting part is arranged in a brush handle in a matching manner; the bottom end of the base column is connected to the mounting part.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, it further includes a limiting part, the bottom end of the base column is connected to the limiting part, the bottom end of the limiting part is connected to the mounting part, the limiting part is cylindrical, and the diameter of the limiting part is larger than the diameter of the mounting part.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the installation part is provided with an installation post and an installation ball head. One end of the installation post is connected to the limiting part, and the other end is connected to the installation ball head. The diameter of the installation ball head is larger than that of the installation post.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, one end of the rubber hair is a connection end, and the other end is a free end. The connection end is connected to the base post, and the diameter of the rubber hair is set to gradually decrease from the connection end to the free end.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the rubber hair is made of silica gel material.

[0012] The beneficial effect of the present utility model is that since the rubber hairs on the base post are arranged in a progressive manner from high to low and from long to short from the center of the base post to both ends, when the rubber hairs at the top and bottom ends of the base post come into contact with the gaps between the metal dental braces and the teeth, the rubber hairs in the middle of the base post also always maintain contact with the gaps between the metal dental braces and the teeth.

[0020] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0021] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as limiting the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features. In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, an interdental brush cleaning appliance includes a cleaning part 1; the cleaning part 1 includes a base column 101; a plurality of rubber bristles 102 are annularly distributed on the base column 1, and the lengths of the rubber bristles 102 are arranged from long to short in the directions from the center of the base column 101 to the top and bottom ends of the base column 101; the base column 101 is made of an elastic material, which is convenient for deformation and use.

[0023] When the interdental brush cleaning appliance of the present utility model is in use, it can be used horizontally or vertically. When used vertically, as Figure 2 shown and Figure 5 shown as B in, hold the bottom end of the base column 101, so that the rubber bristles 102 at the middle part of the base column 101 first contact the gap between the metal dental brace and the teeth, and then continuously press down the base column 101. Since the lengths of the rubber bristles 102 are arranged from long to short in the directions from the center of the base column 101 to the top and bottom ends of the base column 101, it can be realized that when the rubber bristles at the top and bottom ends of the base column 101 contact the gap between the metal dental brace and the teeth, the rubber bristles at the middle of the base column 101 also always keep contacting the gap between the metal dental brace and the teeth. Compared with the existing interdental brush cleaning appliances, as Figure 5As shown in A, the interdental brush cleaning tool in the present application greatly increases the contact area between the rubber bristles and the gap between the metal braces and the teeth, improving the cleaning efficiency of the gap between the metal braces and the teeth; the cleaning of the gap between the metal braces and the teeth is carried out by reciprocating friction multiple times; such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown in B, when the interdental brush cleaning tool is placed horizontally for use and the bottom end of the base column 101 is held by hand, since the rubber bristles 102 on the base column 101 are arranged in a progressive manner from high to low and from long to short from the center of the base column 101 to both ends, when the base column 101 approaches the metal braces, the longest rubber bristles 102 at the middle of the base column 101 first contact the gap between the metal braces and the teeth, and the rubber bristles 102 at the top and bottom ends of the base column 101 are shorter than the rubber bristles 102 at the center of the base column 101. When the rubber bristles at the top and bottom ends of the base column 101 contact the gap between the metal braces and the teeth, the rubber bristles at the middle of the base column 101 also contact the gap between the metal braces and the teeth, greatly increasing the contact area between the rubber bristles and the gap between the metal braces and the teeth, and greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of the interdental brush cleaning tool in the present application for the gap between the metal braces and the teeth.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the base column 101 in the present application is set to increase from the top end to the bottom end direction, so that the volume of the top end of the base column 101 is small, which is convenient for the base column 101 to drive the rubber bristles 102 to extend into the gap between the metal braces and the teeth, improving the cleaning efficiency of the gap between the metal braces and the teeth.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the length of the area where the rubber bristles are provided on the base column 101 is 6.9 - 7.1 mm; the length of the area where the rubber bristles are provided on the base column 101 in the present application is shorter than the area where the rubber bristles are provided on the existing interdental brush, and the rubber bristles 102 in the present application are distributed in a 360-degree ring shape, so that the effective cleaning space of the interdental brush cleaning tool in the present application is an ellipsoid, which is convenient for the center of the base column 101 to extend into the gap between the metal braces and the teeth to realize the cleaning of the gap between the metal braces and the teeth.

[0026] The interdental brush cleaning tool in this application further includes a mounting part; the bottom end of the base post is connected to the mounting part; the mounting part is arranged in a matching manner within the brush handle. By connecting the mounting part to the brush handle, it is convenient to hold the brush handle to clean the gaps between the metal dental braces and the teeth, improving the convenience of use. As a preferred embodiment, the interdental brush cleaning tool in this application further includes a limiting part 3. The bottom end of the base post 101 is connected to the limiting part 3, and the bottom end of the limiting part is connected to the mounting part 2. The limiting part 3 is cylindrical, and the diameter of the limiting part 3 is greater than the diameter of the mounting part 2. The setting of the limiting part 3 facilitates the limitation of the base 101 during the matching connection process between the mounting part 2 and the brush handle, improving the connection efficiency between the mounting part 2 and the brush handle. More specifically, the mounting part 2 in this application is provided with a mounting post 201 and a mounting ball head 202. One end of the mounting post 201 is connected to the limiting part 3, and the other end is connected to the mounting ball head 202. The diameter of the mounting ball head 202 is greater than the diameter of the mounting post 201. During the connection process between the mounting part 2 and the brush handle, the mounting ball head 202 is snap-fitted into the groove of the brush handle to achieve the connection between the mounting part 2 and the brush handle. After the mounting ball head 202 is snapped into place with the groove of the brush handle, the top end of the brush handle is in abutment with the limiting part 3 in a matching manner, facilitating the quick identification of whether the brush handle and the interdental brush cleaning tool are assembled in place and ensuring the stability of the connection between the brush handle and the interdental brush cleaning tool.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the rubber hair 102 in this application is a connection end 1021, and the other end is a free end 1022. The connection end is connected to the base post 101, and the diameter of the rubber hair 102 is set to gradually decrease from the connection end 1021 to the free end 1022. The free end 1022 with a smaller diameter of the rubber hair 102 is convenient for extending into the gaps between the metal dental braces and the teeth, improving the cleaning efficiency of the gaps between the metal dental braces and the teeth. More preferably, the rubber hair 102 in this application is made of silica gel material, which facilitates the deformation of the rubber hair 102 during extrusion, facilitating better matching of the gaps between the metal dental braces and the teeth, and silica gel also reduces the damage to the metal dental braces and the teeth.
