Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household electronic products, and in particular relates to a teeth brushing reminder. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are a number of children's toothbrush reminders on the market. As auxiliary tools designed specifically for children, their core purpose is to help children establish good oral hygiene habits and ensure that they practice effective and sufficient oral cleaning every day. These products often combine fun, interactivity, and practicality to adapt to children's psychological and behavioral characteristics.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 201922088639.0 discloses a children's teeth brushing reminder. This patent mainly uses a speaker to play a reminder tone and an electronic display to show likes to quantify and encourage children's brushing time, helping them develop a habit of brushing. However, the device in this patent requires children to actively press a button to activate the teeth brushing reminder each time it is used, and it cannot be automatically activated. Children may forget to press the button during use or be unwilling to do so due to laziness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, a toothbrush reminder is provided which can be automatically activated when a child is brushing his teeth.

[0005] The present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions: a toothbrush brushing reminder, comprising a shell, an electronic display module embedded in the wall of the shell, a voice module and a control module arranged in the shell, a hanger suspended in the shell, the front end of the hanger extending out of the shell, a placement slot for placing a toothbrush formed between the front ends of the two hangers, a first conductive sheet provided at the rear end of the hanger, a second conductive sheet provided below the shell corresponding to the first conductive sheet, the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of the control module, the hanger being rotatably connected to the shell; when the toothbrush is inserted into the placement slot, the front end of the hanger descends and the rear end rises so that the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are not in contact, and when the toothbrush is taken out of the placement slot, the front end of the hanger resets and the rear end descends so that the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are in contact.

[0006] During use, when a toothbrush is inserted into the placement slot between the two hangers, the front end of the hanger descends due to gravity. Since the hanger is pivotally connected to the housing, the rear end of the hanger tilts up, causing the first and second conductive plates at the rear end of the hanger to separate. At this point, the entire circuit within the housing is disconnected, and the control module stops functioning, entering a shutdown state. When the toothbrush is removed, the front end of the hanger, unloaded, returns upward, and the rear end descends, bringing the first and second conductive plates into contact. This reconnects the entire circuit within the housing, and the control module operates to control the electronic display module and voice module to encourage and remind children to brush their teeth.

[0007] The electronic display module may be any existing electronic display screen.

[0008] The voice module can adopt any existing voice playing device.

[0009] The control module is conventional technology, for example, including a power supply, a circuit board, and the like.

[0010] Among them, when the toothbrush is taken out, the rear end of the hanger can be lowered by changing the length of the lever arm of the rotating fulcrum, so that the rear end of the hanger can automatically drop without the front end load so that the two conductive sheets contact each other.

[0011] This solution controls the on / off of the toothbrush by picking it up and putting it down. When the child takes out the toothbrush, the toothbrush reminder automatically turns on, and when the child puts the toothbrush back, the toothbrush reminder automatically turns off. This eliminates the need for the child to actively press a button to turn on the toothbrush reminder, making it more convenient.

[0012] Preferably, the hanger is equipped with an elastic member, and the elastic member is arranged in the shell. The rear end of the hanger has a tendency to move downward under the action of the elastic member.

[0013] By providing an elastic member, the rear end of the hanger is caused to descend under the action of the elastic member after the toothbrush is removed, thereby ensuring closer contact between the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet. The elastic member can apply force to the rear end of the hanger by either compression or tension. The upward force exerted by the elastic member on the hanger is less than the force exerted by the weight of the toothbrush on the hanger, ensuring that the rear end of the hanger tilts after the toothbrush is inserted.

[0014] Preferably, the hanger includes a horizontally arranged hanger rod, an extension part and a vertically arranged rotating part, the extension part is located between the rear ends of the two hanger rods and is connected to the hanger rods, the lower end of the extension part is provided with the first conductive sheet, the rotating part is connected to the extension part and extends upward; the shell is provided with two matching parts extending toward the inner side of the shell, the rotating part passes through between the two matching parts, and mutually matching hinge holes and a hinge shaft extending into the hinge hole are provided between the left and right sides of the rotating part and the two matching parts.

[0015] The rotational connection between the bracket and the shell is achieved through the hinged connection between the rotating part and the matching part of the shell; the connection between the hinge hole and the hinge axis is the center of the circle, and the entire bracket can rotate in a small angle around the center of the circle to achieve contact or non-contact between the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet.

[0016] Preferably, the elastic member is located between the inner wall of the housing and the rotating part, and the elastic member applies a force on the rotating part to cause the rotating part to rotate.

[0017] The elastic member is arranged between the rotating portion and the inner wall of the front side of the shell, and the elastic member drives the rotating portion to rotate, thereby realizing the lowering of the rear end of the hanger rod.

[0018] Preferably, the inner wall of the housing is provided with a guide post extending toward the rotating portion, and the elastic member is a spring and is sleeved on the guide post.

[0019] The provision of a guide column can ensure that the action direction of the spring will not deviate.

[0020] Preferably, the extension portion is located at the lower end of the rotating portion, the spring is in contact with the upper end of the rotating portion, and the hinge shaft and the hinge hole are located between the extension portion and the spring.

[0021] The spring contacts the upper end of the rotating part, so that the force arm of the spring on the rotating part can be longer, so that the spring can push the rotating part more effortlessly to reset the entire hanger.

[0022] Preferably, the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are both copper sheets, the first conductive sheet is provided with a first protrusion extending toward the second conductive sheet, the second conductive sheet is provided with a second protrusion extending toward the first conductive sheet, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion are both frustum-shaped; the first protrusion and the second protrusion abut against each other to realize the passage of the control module.

[0023] The conductive sheet is a copper sheet with good conductivity and a price offset. At the same time, a first protrusion and a second protrusion in the shape of a truncated cone are provided, so that the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are easier to contact when they need to contact because the protrusions protrude from each other. At the same time, since the protrusions are in the shape of a truncated cone and the diameters are not equal everywhere, when the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet need to be disconnected, the protrusions have their own avoidance space, so they are also easier to disconnect.

[0024] Preferably, the front side of the shell is provided with a through hole extending inside and outside, the hanger rod passes through the through hole, the aperture of the through hole is larger than the width of the hanger rod, and the upper outer wall of the hanger rod abuts against the upper inner wall of the through hole.

[0025] The aperture of the through hole is larger than the width of the hanger rod, so that the hanger rod has space for movement; at the same time, the upper outer wall of the hanger rod abuts against the upper inner wall of the through hole, which can prevent children from moving the front end of the hanger rod so that the hanger rod moves too much upward, thereby causing the first conductive sheet to press too tightly against the second conductive sheet and causing the two conductive sheets to deform.

[0026] Preferably, the front ends of the two hanger rods are each provided with a blocking portion extending circumferentially outward from the hanger rod, and the distance between the two blocking portions is smaller than the distance between the front ends of the two hanger rods.

[0027] A placement groove for placing a toothbrush is formed between the front ends of the two hanger rods, and the distance between the two blocking portions is also smaller than the width of the placement groove, so the toothbrush can be prevented from sliding out of the front side of the placement groove after being placed.

[0028] Preferably, a hook is provided on the side wall of the shell, the hook is L-shaped, and the hook is used to hang a mouthwash cup. A suction cup or an adhesive sticker is embedded on the rear side wall of the shell.

[0029] The mouthwash cup can be hung by a hook, and the entire teeth brushing reminder can be fixed on a wall or glass by arranging a suction cup or adhesive sticker on the rear side of the shell.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the tooth brushing reminder of the present invention has the advantage of being automatically activated when a child is brushing their teeth. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
