Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of personal care products, specifically a toothbrush designed for disabled people, aiming to solve the problem of difficulty in brushing teeth caused by motor disorders or cognitive disorders, improve oral cleaning effects, and reduce the incidence of oral diseases. Background Art

[0002] At present, some disabled people find it difficult to effectively use traditional toothbrushes for oral cleaning due to limited motor skills or cognitive impairment. This not only affects their oral hygiene, but also increases the risk of oral diseases. Therefore, this group of people has a higher probability of suffering from oral diseases than their peers. Some patients do not cooperate with oral diagnosis and treatment, and recovery is difficult. At the same time, due to cognitive impairment, they may bite foreign objects and not pay attention to personal hygiene, so they have a higher probability of developing hand, foot and mouth disease than their peers.

[0003] Most toothbrush products currently on the market do not fully consider such special needs, resulting in many inconveniences for people with disabilities when brushing their teeth, and even resistance, which is not conducive to the maintenance of oral health.

[0004] Therefore, developing a toothbrush that is easy to operate, safe and effective becomes a priority. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a toothbrush that is easy to operate, safe and effective, making the brushing process simple and convenient, and is particularly suitable for use by disabled people, thereby effectively improving their oral hygiene, reducing the incidence of oral diseases, preventing hand, foot and mouth disease, and improving their quality of life.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions.

[0007] A toothbrush convenient for disabled people to use, comprising:

[0008] The handle has an O-ring structure for the fingers to fit into.

[0009] The brush head can be bent 120 degrees vertically relative to the handle, and exerts a small opposing force toward the jaw during the bending process, helping the operator to complete the brushing action more easily;

[0010] Massage particles are set on the back of the curved brush head to gently massage facial muscles during brushing, relax muscles, promote blood circulation and restore facial movement coordination;

[0011] The throat shield is detachably mounted on the upper portion of the handle to prevent the toothbrush from penetrating too deeply into the mouth. A drainage port is provided on the throat shield to direct the foam and wastewater generated during brushing to the sink.

[0012] The suction cup base is set at the bottom of the toothbrush and is used to firmly adsorb the toothbrush on the operating table for easy placement and air drying.

[0013] Furthermore, the handle is made of anti-slip material to ensure that it is not easy to slip out of the hand and is soft and easy to hold.

[0014] Furthermore, the throat baffle is a centrally symmetrical wave-shaped structure.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0016] 1. Improved ease of use: The finger-shaped handle and bendable brush head design significantly reduce the difficulty of operation, making it easier for people with disabilities to brush their teeth;

[0017] 2. Enhanced cleaning effect: The bendable design of the brush head and the massage particles not only improve cleaning efficiency but also promote oral health;

[0018] 3. Ensure safe use: The throat guard effectively prevents the toothbrush from being inserted too deeply, and the drainage port reduces the risk of swallowing. At the same time, it can reduce the probability of hand, foot and mouth disease virus transmission through this route during brushing; the suction cup base ensures that the toothbrush is placed firmly to avoid accidental drops;

[0019] 4. The toothbrush body is smooth, soft and has no edges, making it highly safe. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in more detail and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like to indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined. Specific embodiments

[0027] In view of the existing toothbrush technology: it needs to be replaced regularly, is not environmentally friendly, and is costly; it still requires manual operation and cannot fully guarantee ideal results and safe use. This technical solution aims to provide a toothbrush that is easy for disabled people to use. Through innovative structural design, the brushing process becomes easier, making it more convenient for disabled people to take care of their oral cavity and reducing the incidence of oral diseases among disabled people.

[0028] Technical solution content

[0029] Handle: The toothbrush handle 10 is designed to fit over the fingers, i.e. the main body is an O-ring structure for the fingers to fit into. It is made of non-slip material to ensure that it is not easy to slip out of the hand. At the same time, it is soft and easy to grip, and is suitable for disabled people with different hand shapes.

[0030] Brush head: The brush head 20 is made of soft plastic material and can be bent about 120° in the vertical direction. During the bending process, it applies a small opposing force to the jaw surface, helping the operator to complete the brushing action more easily and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0031] Massage particle design: Massage particles 30 are set on the back of the brush head 20, which can gently massage the facial muscles during brushing, relax the muscles, promote blood circulation and restore the coordination of facial movements.

[0032] Throat shield and drainage port: The throat shield 40 is detachably mounted on the handle and is made of plastic. It can be clamped on the handle by elastic force, effectively preventing the toothbrush from going too deep into the mouth. At the same time, a drainage port 41 is provided on the throat shield 40, which can smoothly guide the foam and sewage generated during brushing into the sink to maintain oral hygiene. The setting of the throat shield 40 can effectively prevent hand, foot and mouth disease, that is, reduce the probability of the operator being infected with the hand, foot and mouth disease virus during brushing.

[0033] Suction cup base: The bottom of the toothbrush is equipped with a suction cup 50, which can be firmly adsorbed on the operating table, making it easy to place and air dry after use, reducing bacterial growth and improving hygiene.
