[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0023] See Figure 1-6 As shown, a dental floss assembly for an electric toothbrush can be directly installed on the vibrating arm after the toothbrush head is removed from the electric toothbrush to form an electric dental flosser.

[0024] The dental floss assembly for an electric toothbrush includes a mounting base 1 for mounting on the vibrating arm of the electric toothbrush and a dental floss 2 detachably mounted on the upper end of the mounting base 1, wherein the upper end of the mounting base 1 is provided with an insertion slot 11, the inner wall of the insertion slot 11 is provided with a lock buckle 12, and the rear end of the dental floss 2 is provided with a connecting arm 21 that can generate elastic deformation and adapt to the insertion slot 11, and a locking port 211 adapted to the lock buckle 12 is provided in the connecting arm 21. After the connecting arm 21 is inserted into the insertion slot 11, the lock buckle 12 is buckled with the lock buckle 211 to form a detachable locking structure. In other words, the dental floss assembly of the present invention is a two-piece structure, comprising a mounting base 1 and a dental floss 2 detachably mounted on the upper end of the mounting base 1. During assembly, a connecting arm 21 at the rear end of the dental floss 2 is directly inserted into a slot 11 at the upper end of the mounting base 1. A locking catch 12 within the slot 11 engages with a locking notch 211 on the connecting arm 21 to form a removable locking structure. This assembly is stable and simple, using only two parts, resulting in a minimal number of parts and low cost. Furthermore, the dental floss 2 can be quickly installed on the mounting base 1, resulting in highly efficient assembly. To remove and replace the dental floss 2, the connecting arm 21 at the rear end of the dental floss 2 is simply pressed against the mounting base 1, disengaging the locking notch 211 on the connecting arm 21 from the locking catch 12. This ease of operation makes the present invention highly competitive in the market.

[0025] To facilitate removal of the dental floss 2 from the mounting base 1, the following design is incorporated: a relief groove 111 is provided on the rear side of the insertion slot 11 to accommodate the connecting arm 21 after it has been pressed down relative to the mounting base 1. To remove and replace the dental floss 2, the connecting arm 21 is simply pressed down relative to the mounting base 1. The rear end of the connecting arm 21 presses into the relief groove 111, creating sufficient space for elastic deformation and disengaging the locking notch 211 on the connecting arm 21 from the locking catch 12. This allows for easy removal of the dental floss 2.

[0026] To enhance the elastic deformation capability of the connecting arm 21, the following improvements have been made: a groove 210 is provided on the upper and / or lower rear end surfaces of the connecting arm 21, thinning the rear side of the connecting arm 21 to form an elastic structure; a locking opening 211 is provided at the bottom of the groove 210 and extends through the upper and lower rear end surfaces of the connecting arm 21. In this embodiment, the grooves 210 are provided on both the upper and lower rear end surfaces of the connecting arm 21, thereby enhancing its elastic deformation capability.

[0027] The rear end surface of the connecting arm 21 is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface 212 so that when the connecting arm 21 is inserted into the insertion slot 11 , the arc-shaped guide surface 212 plays a good guiding role, thereby improving the insertion efficiency and smoothness.

[0028] The lock buckle 12 is integrally formed on the rear side of the upper inner wall of the insertion slot 11, and an inclined guide surface 121 is provided on the lower side of the lock buckle 12, so that when the arc-shaped guide surface 212 of the connecting arm 21 contacts the inclined guide surface 121 on the lower side of the lock buckle 12, it can better pass over the lock buckle 12, so that the lock buckle 12 can be more smoothly engaged with the lock mouth 211 to form a detachable locking structure, thereby improving assembly efficiency and smoothness.

[0029] In this embodiment, the dental floss 2 includes a C-shaped main body 22, the connecting arm 21 integrally formed at the rear end of the main body 22, and a wire body 23 disposed at the front end of the main body 22, and its structure is extremely stable.

[0030] Arc-shaped grooves 113 are provided on both sides of the front end opening of the insertion slot 11, and the part of the rear end of the main body 22 connected to the connecting arm 21 is embedded in the arc-shaped grooves 113, which can limit the main body 22 to ensure the stability of the assembly structure. At the same time, it can also prevent the dental floss 2 from being inserted into the insertion slot 11, thereby ensuring the stability of the assembly structure between the dental floss 2 and the insertion slot 11.

[0031] The upper end of the mounting seat 1 is integrally formed with a connecting portion 10 that is distributed in an inclined manner. The insertion slot 11 is provided in the connecting portion 10 and is distributed in an inclined manner.

[0032] In summary, the dental floss assembly of the present invention is a two-piece structure, comprising a mounting base 1 and a dental floss 2 detachably mounted on the upper end of the mounting base 1. During assembly, a connecting arm 21 at the rear end of the dental floss 2 is directly inserted into a slot 11 at the upper end of the mounting base 1. A locking catch 12 within the slot 11 engages with a locking notch 211 on the connecting arm 21 to form a removable locking structure. This assembly structure is stable and simple, utilizing only two components, resulting in a minimal number of parts and low cost. Furthermore, the dental floss 2 can be quickly installed on the mounting base 1, resulting in highly efficient assembly. To remove and replace the dental floss 2, the connecting arm 21 at the rear end of the dental floss 2 is simply pressed against the mounting base 1, disengaging the locking notch 211 on the connecting arm 21 from the locking catch 12. This ease of operation makes the present invention highly competitive in the market.

[0033] Of course, the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made based on the structure, features and principles described in the scope of the patent application of the present invention should be included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
