[0024] 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.

[0025] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-7 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A brush head component for an electric toothbrush includes a soft rubber part 1, bristle plates 2, and bristle bundles 3. Several bristle plates 2 are fixedly connected to one side of the soft rubber part 1, and multiple bristle bundles 3 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the bristle plates 2. A brush handle assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the soft rubber part 1. An airbag assembly 5 is fixedly installed inside the brush handle assembly 4, and a connecting sleeve assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the soft rubber part 1. The brush handle assembly 4 includes a hollow rod 41, with an inter-rod groove 42 on the outer side of the hollow rod 41 and a mounting hole 43 on the inner side. A tray 44 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the hollow rod 41, and a limiting plate 45 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the hollow rod 41. A limiting groove 46 is formed inside the limiting plate 45. The hollow rod 41 has a connection hole 47 at its bottom end. The airbag assembly 5 includes an airbag ball 51. A short tube 52 is fixedly connected to the inside of the airbag ball 51. An anti-slip airbag strip 53 is fixedly connected to one end of the short tube 52. A vertical tube 54 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the airbag ball 51. The connecting sleeve assembly 6 includes a sealing gasket 61. A retaining plate 62 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sealing gasket 61. A grooved retaining sleeve 63 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the retaining plate 62. A retaining block 64 is fixedly connected to the inside of the grooved retaining sleeve 63. An air chamber 65 is opened inside the grooved retaining sleeve 63. A piston block 66 is slidably connected to the inside of the air chamber 65. An air inlet 67 is opened at the upper end of the air chamber 65. A sealing strip 68 is fixedly connected to the inside of the air chamber 65.

[0028] As a further implementation of this solution, the projection of the pallet 44 in the vertical direction is annular, the central axis of the pallet 44 and the central axis of the hollow rod 41 are on the same straight line, and the inner side of the limiting groove 46 and the outer side of the clamping plate 62 are in zero clearance fit. This setting makes the connection between the inner side of the limiting groove 46 and the clamping plate 62 more stable, which is beneficial to the transmission between components.

[0029] As a further implementation of this solution, the outer side of the airbag ball 51 is attached to the inner side of the tray 44. Several short tubes 52 are provided, and the short tubes 52 are arranged in a ring array with the center of the airbag ball 51 as the center. The number of short tubes 52 corresponds to the number of anti-slip airbag strips 53. The outer side of the short tubes 52 is attached to the inner side of the mounting hole 43. A part of the anti-slip airbag strip 53 is exposed outside the rod groove 42. The vertical tube 54 and the airbag ball 51 are on the same axis. The outer side of the bottom end of the vertical tube 54 is attached to the inner side of the air inlet 67. This arrangement allows for easy insertion and removal of the hollow rod 41 while holding the anti-slip airbag strip 53. This makes the anti-slip airbag strip 53 more likely to deform while playing an anti-slip role, allowing the internal air to be discharged.

[0030] As a further implementation of this solution, the included angle between the card block 64 and the grooved sleeve 63 is 90°, the outer side of the piston block 66 is in contact with the inner side of the air chamber 65, and two sealing strips 68 are provided. The two sealing strips 68 are symmetrically distributed on the inner side of the grooved sleeve 63. This design can achieve better sealing when the components are connected.

[0031] As a further implementation of this solution, a hollow rod 41 is bonded to the outside of the sealing gasket 61. The upper end face of the sealing gasket 61 is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom end face of the limiting plate 45. The central axis of the sealing gasket 61 is on the same straight line as the central axis of the connecting hole 47. This design can make the sealing gasket 61 fit tightly with the hollow rod 41 and the limiting plate 45, preventing impurities and water from entering the hollow rod 41 and causing the parts to rust.

[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, several inter-bar grooves 42 are provided, and the inter-bar grooves 42 are distributed in a ring array on the outside of the hollow bar 41. Several mounting holes 43 are provided, and the positions of the mounting holes 43 correspond to the positions of the inter-bar grooves 42. This design is conducive to the installation of the anti-slip airbag strip 53 and the short tube 52, and at the same time improves the competitiveness of the product's appearance.

[0033] Working Process: When using the electric toothbrush, while holding the brush handle assembly 4, pressure is applied to the anti-slip airbag strip 53, causing air inside the anti-slip airbag strip 53 to flow into the airbag ball 51 through the short tube 52. Since multiple anti-slip airbag strips 53 are arranged in a ring array, the user can easily apply pressure to multiple anti-slip airbag strips 53 simultaneously, resulting in a larger volume of air entering the airbag ball 51. After the air enters the airbag ball 51, it is discharged into the air chamber 65 through the vertical tube 54. Because the outer side of the piston block 66 is in contact with the inner side of the air chamber 65, the air entering the air chamber 65 pushes the piston block 66 downwards. At this time, the device is inserted into the brush handle, allowing the connecting shaft of the brush handle to pass through the connecting hole 47 and the sealing washer 61 into the grooved sleeve 63, so that the upper end face of the connecting shaft of the brush handle is in contact with the bottom end face of the piston block 66. Because the sealing strip 68 provides good sealing for the grooved sleeve 63, when the connecting shaft of the brush handle is fully... When the slotted sleeve 63 is inserted, the air between the brush handle connecting shaft and the slotted sleeve 63 is completely expelled, and it engages with the locking block 64, thus ensuring the stability of the connection. After installation, the brush handle assembly 4 is released, and no more pressure is applied to the anti-slip airbag strip 53. Some of the air in the airbag ball 51 flows back to the anti-slip airbag strip 53 through the short tube 52. At the same time, the vertical tube 54 extracts the air from the air chamber 65, creating a negative pressure inside the air chamber 65, which further enhances the stability of the connecting sleeve assembly 6 and the brush handle connecting shaft. When the brush handle connecting shaft rotates, it will drive the slotted sleeve 63 to rotate. The rotation of the slotted sleeve 63 will drive the locking plate 62 to rotate. The locking plate 62 drives the limiting plate 45 to rotate through the limiting groove 46. The rotation of the limiting plate 45 drives the hollow rod 41 to rotate, causing the soft rubber part 1, the bristle plate 2, and the bristle bundle 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the hollow rod 41 to rotate simultaneously, thereby increasing the cleaning power of the electric toothbrush head component on the teeth.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
