[0002] Toiletries are tools used for daily cleaning, such as toothbrushes, irrigators, towels, brushes, etc. Since they come into direct or indirect contact with the human body, the hygiene and cleanliness of the tools themselves are particularly important and are also the focus of people's attention when using the tools.
[0003] In order to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the instruments to the greatest extent during use, people will disinfect and sterilize the instruments in various ways before and after use. Among them, the most common and practical method is to use ultraviolet light with a bactericidal effect to disinfect bacteria on the instruments. However, the wavelength range of ultraviolet light is relatively large, and only ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength can have a bactericidal effect. Therefore, in many cases, although the ultraviolet light can be seen shining on the instruments with the naked eye, it is not certain whether the ultraviolet light can achieve the effect of disinfecting bacteria on the instruments, which leads to people's lack of trust in the bactericidal effect of ultraviolet light. This has greatly restricted the development of ultraviolet light disinfection devices and also left health risks to people's living environment. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] For example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a sterilization identification mechanism applied to a washing appliance. In this embodiment, the washing appliance is a water flosser, comprising a accommodating cavity, the accommodating cavity being arranged on the water flosser body, the water flosser body comprising a water flosser host 11 and a water tank 12 connected to the lower end of the water flosser host 11, the accommodating cavity being the internal space of the water tank 12, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 being arranged on the wall surface of the accommodating cavity, a circuit board assembly 13 being arranged inside the water flosser host 11, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 being encapsulated on the circuit board assembly 13, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 is arranged at the lower end surface of the water flosser main unit 11, and the light direction is arranged toward the inside of the water tank. The ultraviolet sterilization lamp 31 is arranged toward the inside of the accommodating cavity. The water tank 12 is a photochromic shell material. The photochromic shell material contains photochromic material and isobutyl phenoxy epoxy resin. The raw materials of the photochromic shell material specifically contain 40 to 60 parts of isobutyl phenoxy epoxy resin, 50 to 70 parts of solvent, and 1 to 10 parts of photochromic material. The photochromic material is uniformly mixed in the isobutyl phenoxy epoxy resin and integrally injection molded.
[0021] During use, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 generates ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to disinfect bacteria in the internal area of the water tank 12. The targets of disinfection include the water tank wall, the water stored in the water tank, and the water pipe of the water flosser. When the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 is not turned on or the lamp beads are damaged and fail, the water tank 12 is displayed in a normal color. When the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 is working normally, the water tank 12 will turn into another color after being irradiated with ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength. When the ultraviolet light of this specific wavelength is lost, it will return to its original molecular structure and become colorless again. In this way, the user can intuitively judge with the naked eye whether the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 is performing the bacterial disinfection operation normally.
[0022] For example 2, please refer to Figures 4-6, a sterilization identification mechanism applied to toiletries. In this embodiment, the toiletries are a toothbrush set, including a toothbrush storage box 21 and a accommodating cavity. The accommodating cavity is arranged in the toothbrush storage box 21. A brush head accommodating cavity 23 is arranged inside the toothbrush storage box 21. The accommodating cavity is a brush head accommodating cavity 23. The shell where the brush head accommodating cavity 23 is located is a photochromic shell material. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 is arranged on the wall of the brush head accommodating cavity 23, and the light direction is toward the inside of the brush head accommodating cavity 23. The photochromic shell material contains photochromic material and isobutylphenoxy epoxy resin. The raw materials of the photochromic shell material specifically contain 40 to 60 parts of isobutylphenoxy epoxy resin, 50 to 70 parts of solvent, and 1 to 10 parts of photochromic material. The photochromic material is uniformly mixed in the isobutylphenoxy epoxy resin and is integrally injection molded.
[0023] During use, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 generates ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to disinfect bacteria on the toothbrush head 22 placed in the brush head accommodating cavity 23. When the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 is not turned on or the lamp bead is damaged and fails, the brush head accommodating cavity 23 is displayed in a normal color. When the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 is working normally, the brush head accommodating cavity 23 will turn into another color after being irradiated with ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength. When the ultraviolet light of this specific wavelength is lost, it will return to its original molecular structure and become colorless again. In this way, the user can intuitively judge with the naked eye whether the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 31 is performing the bacterial disinfection operation normally.
[0024] To sum up: the utility model adds photochromic material to the housing shell of the bacteria disinfection operation area, so that the housing shell in the illumination area has a photochromic function. When ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength is irradiated on the housing shell, the housing shell will change color and change to another color, so that the user can intuitively judge whether the ultraviolet light sterilization equipment can achieve the bacteria disinfection operation with the naked eye. When the ultraviolet light disappears or is not within the specific sterilization wavelength, the housing shell will automatically change to the normal color. Therefore, the application of this sterilization identification mechanism can simply and accurately identify the sterilization effect of the ultraviolet light sterilization equipment when it is working, which not only brings convenience to people's lives, but also effectively avoids the existence of health hazards.
