Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a toothbrush disinfection box. Background Art

[0002] When not in use, electric or non-electric toothbrushes can become contaminated if exposed to the environment. Therefore, toothbrush disinfection boxes have emerged in the prior art for protecting brush heads. These boxes house the brush heads when not in use and include a disinfection assembly capable of disinfecting the brush heads. These disinfection assemblies can be used for ultraviolet radiation, ozone release, or drying. CN 213466127 U, CN 113499460 A, and CN 215022986 U all disclose toothbrush disinfection boxes. These boxes generally include a box base, a disinfection chamber, and a disinfection assembly within the box base, into which the brush heads are placed for disinfection. However, these prior art toothbrush disinfection boxes also have the disadvantage that the brush heads are simply placed within the disinfection chamber, making it difficult to position them. Consequently, they are prone to shaking and, in severe cases, may even fall out of the chamber. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the existing toothbrush disinfection box, the utility model provides a toothbrush disinfection box capable of positioning the brush head of a toothbrush.

[0004] The utility model solves the technical problem with the following technical solutions: a toothbrush disinfection box, comprising a box seat and a box cover;

[0005] The box base has a disinfection module and a control circuit for controlling the disinfection module. The upper surface of the box base is concave to form a disinfection cavity for accommodating the brush head of the toothbrush. The side of the box base also has an opening for accommodating the neck of the brush head, and the opening is connected to the disinfection cavity.

[0006] The box cover covers the upper surface of the box base;

[0007] A clamping arm is rotatably provided in the box seat, and the clamping arm can enter the opening to position the neck of the brush head between the clamping arm and the side wall of the opening.

[0008] Furthermore, the box seat is provided with an elastic mechanism acting on the clamping arm, and under the action of the elastic mechanism, the clamping arm has a tendency to rotate toward the opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping arm is provided with a rotating shaft, and the clamping arm is rotatably connected to the box seat via the rotating shaft;

[0010] The elastic mechanism is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and one end of the torsion spring is against the clamping arm, and the other end of the torsion spring is against the box seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping arm is provided with a rotating shaft, and the clamping arm is rotatably connected to the box seat via the rotating shaft;

[0012] The elastic mechanism is a spring sheet, one end of which is against the clamping arm, and the other end of which is against the box seat.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping arm has a clamping opening facing the side wall of the opening.

[0014] Furthermore, the control circuit includes a Hall switch, and the box cover is provided with a magnet corresponding to the Hall switch.

[0015] Furthermore, the side edge of the box cover is hinged on the box base.

[0016] Furthermore, the lower portion of the clamping arm is rotatably connected to the box seat, and the upper edge of the entrance opening portion of the clamping arm is provided with a downwardly inclined slope.

[0017] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the clamping arms cooperate with the side walls of the opening to position the neck of the brush head between the clamping arms and the side walls of the opening, so that the brush head is not easily moved in the disinfection box.

[0025] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-Figure 7 A toothbrush disinfection box includes a box base 1 and a box cover 2.

[0027] The box base 1 contains a disinfection module and a control circuit for controlling the disinfection module. The disinfection module can adopt technical solutions in the prior art, such as using an ultraviolet lamp to disinfect by ultraviolet irradiation; or using an ozone generator to disinfect by ozone; or using a heating device to disinfect by drying, etc.

[0028] The upper surface of the box base 1 is concave to form a disinfection chamber 4 for accommodating the brush head 3 of the toothbrush, and the box cover 2 covers the upper surface of the box base 1. The side of the box base 1 is also provided with an opening 6 for accommodating the neck 5 of the brush head, and the opening 6 is connected to the disinfection chamber 4. The box base 1 is also provided with a clamping arm 7 that is rotatable and can enter the opening 6 to position the neck 5 of the brush head between the clamping arm 7 and the side wall of the opening 6. When placing the toothbrush, open the box cover 2, align the brush head 3 with the disinfection chamber 4, align the neck 5 of the brush head with the opening 6, and place the toothbrush downward. After placement, the neck 5 of the brush head is positioned between the clamping arm 7 and the side wall of the opening 6, and will not shake easily or will shake very little.

[0029] During placement of the brush head, the clamp arm 7 rotates, initially increasing the distance between the clamp arm 7 and the sidewalls of the opening 6. After placement is complete, the clamp arm 7 returns to its original position, reducing the distance between the clamp arm 7 and the sidewalls of the opening 6 and achieving the desired position. A preferred embodiment of this is to provide an elastic mechanism within the cartridge holder 1 that acts on the clamp arm 7. Under the action of this elastic mechanism, the clamp arm 7 has a tendency to rotate toward the opening 6. This allows the clamp arm 7 to automatically return to its original position under the action of the elastic mechanism after rotation. In another preferred embodiment, the lower portion of the clamp arm 7 is pivotally connected to the cartridge holder 1. The upper edge of the clamp arm 7, where it enters the opening, is provided with a downwardly inclined surface 8. This surface 8 is designed to ensure that when the toothbrush is placed downwardly, the neck 5 of the brush head first contacts this surface. Under the action of this surface 8 and an external force, the clamp arm 7 rotates, increasing the distance between the clamp arm 7 and the sidewalls of the opening 6 until the neck 5 of the brush head enters between the clamp arm 7 and the sidewalls of the opening 6.

[0030] In one embodiment, the clamping arm 7 is provided with a rotating shaft 9, and the clamping arm 7 is rotatably connected to the cassette base 1 via the rotating shaft 9; the elastic mechanism is a torsion spring 10, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 9, with one end of the torsion spring 10 resting on the clamping arm 7 and the other end of the torsion spring 10 resting on the cassette base 1. Of course, the elastic mechanism may also take other forms, for example, the elastic mechanism is a spring, with one end of the spring resting on the clamping arm and the other end of the spring resting on the cassette base.

[0031] In one embodiment, the clamping arm 7 has a clamping opening 11 facing the side wall of the opening 6 , and the neck 5 of the brush head can be clamped in the clamping opening 11 to achieve better positioning.

[0032] In one embodiment, the control circuit includes a Hall switch, and the lid 2 is provided with a magnet 12 corresponding to the Hall switch. When the lid 2 is closed, the magnet 12 on the lid approaches the Hall switch, thereby activating the disinfection assembly. In one embodiment, the side edge of the lid 2 is hinged to the base 1, and the lid 2 is opened or closed by rotation.

[0033] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with that embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
