[0033] Figure 1 A toothbrush system 100 is disclosed in [reference], and the toothbrush system 100 includes an electric toothbrush 1 and a storage cup 2. The electric toothbrush 1 is used for cleaning teeth. The electric toothbrush 1 generally includes a main body and a brush head. The structure and working principle of the electric toothbrush 1 are relatively common and will not be elaborated here. The storage cup 2 is used for storing the electric toothbrush 1, and the storage cup 2 includes a base 21 and a cup cover 22 covering the base 21. The electric toothbrush 1 is placed on the base 21 and then covered by the cup cover 22 to prevent dust and other sundries from falling onto the toothbrush.
[0034] Reference Figure 1-9 , and specifically reference Figure 3 and 4 , in order to improve the waterproof performance, the base 21 includes an outer cover 211 and an inner cover 212. The inner cover 212 defines a receiving space, and the electric toothbrush 1 is placed in the receiving space. A groove 213 is provided on the bottom side of the inner cover 212 facing the outer cover 211, and a circuit board 23 is provided in the groove 213. The circuit board 23 is connected to a charging structure for charging the electric toothbrush 1. The charging structure is preferably a plurality of charging contacts 25. The charging contacts 25 can be docked with the charging port of the electric toothbrush 1 to charge the electric toothbrush 1. Magnetic materials can be provided around the charging contacts 25.
[0035] In order to prevent the charging contacts 25 from coming into contact with liquid, a first drain port 214 is opened at the bottom of the inner cover 212. The first drain port 214 is provided on the outer periphery of the groove 213. The bottom of the inner cover 212 gradually decreases when extending outward from the charging contacts 25, and the liquid can be effectively drained from the first drain port 214. In order to prevent the water on the tabletop or the placement plane from soaking the circuit board 23, a second drain port 215 is provided at the bottom of the outer cover 211. The second drain port 215 is provided below the first drain port 214 in the height direction. Here, the "below" can be directly below or obliquely below. In this way, due to the height difference, the water in the inner cover 212 can be smoothly drained. Moreover, even if there is a small amount of liquid accumulation on the placement plane, the circuit board will not be soaked.
[0036] To further improve the waterproof effect, the outer cover 211 includes a bottom plate 216 (reference Figure 9), the second drain port 215 is provided on the bottom plate 216 and is located on the outer periphery of the first drain port 214.
[0037] Reference Figure 8 and 9 , a charging interface 217 is provided on the side wall of the outer cover 211, and the charging interface 217 is electrically connected to the circuit board 23. The charging interface 217 is provided with a magnetic material, which can attract the magnetic material on the charging cable. After the two are docked, electrical connection can be achieved. A magnetic material is provided at the charging interface 217, and the magnetic material can attract the magnetic material on the charging cable to realize the docking between the charging connector 27 on the charging cable and the charging interface 217.
[0038] Reference Figure 5 and 6 , an installation space 218 is jointly defined between the upper end of the inner cover 212 and the upper end of the outer cover 211. An indicator 219 is provided in the installation space 218, and the indicator 219 is electrically connected to the circuit board 23. The indicator 219 can be multiple lamp beads or a light strip. The indicator 219 can indicate the charging status of the toothbrush, whether the storage box is working properly, etc., and can also play a decorative role. A wire passing space is defined between the inner cover 212 and the outer cover 211, and the wire led out from the circuit board 23 can pass through the wire passing space. In order to achieve waterproofing, a seal is formed between the upper end of the inner cover 212 and the upper end of the outer cover 211 to prevent liquid from entering the installation space 218.
[0039] In order to prevent liquid from entering the storage cup 2 at the docking place of the cup cover 22 and the base 21, after the cup cover 22 covers the base 21, the installation space 218 is located inside the cup cover 22.
[0040] Reference Figure 3 , since the toothbrush is placed in a relatively humid environment for a long time, some bacteria may grow. Therefore, a sterilization component 24 needs to be provided to sterilize the toothbrush head. In order to effectively sterilize the bristles, a sterilization component 24 is provided at the cup cover 22. Specifically, the cup cover 22 includes a cover body 221 and a cover plate 222 provided on the top of the cover body 221. The cover body 221 and the cover plate 222 jointly define a top space 223. A sterilization component 24 is provided in the top space 223. The sterilization component 24 includes a battery, a circuit board and an ultraviolet lamp. The cover body 221 is integrally formed, which can achieve better waterproof performance. The ultraviolet lamp is provided directly above the cover body 221. The switch of the ultraviolet lamp is also provided in the top space 223, which can be touch-type or button-type. The user only needs to operate on the top of the storage cup 2 with his hand.
[0041] Reference Figure 7, a suction cup 26 is provided at the bottom of the outer cover 211. The suction cup 26 can effectively ensure the stability of the storage cup 2. The outer edge of the suction cup 26 is located within the inner circumference of the second drain port 215, which can prevent water from directly dripping onto the suction cup 26.
[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the field, additional modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrated examples here.
