[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a 3D printed electric toothbrush shell fixture, including a main body 1 and a cleaning mechanism 2. The cleaning mechanism 2 is located at the upper end of the main body 1. The main body 1 includes a base plate 101, a mold 102 and a movable shaft 103. The mold 102 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the upper end of the base plate 101, and the movable shaft 103 is movably installed at the rear end of the upper end of the mold 102.

[0025] The main body mechanism 1 also includes a second mold 104, a positioning groove 105, a recess 106, a sleeve 107, a buffer spring 108, and a positioning block 109. The second mold 104 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the movable shaft 103 and is movably connected to the first mold 102. The positioning groove 105 is fixedly located at the left and right ends of the inner end of the second mold 104, the recess 106 is fixedly located at the left and right ends of the inner end of the first mold 102, the sleeve 107 is fixedly installed at the inner end of the recess 106, the buffer spring 108 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the inner end of the sleeve 107, and the positioning block 109 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the buffer spring 108. The positioning block 109 extends above the groove 106 and is adapted to the positioning groove 105. When using the 3D printed electric toothbrush shell fixture, the staff puts the 3D printed electric toothbrush shell into mold groove 1 201 and mold groove 2 202 respectively, and installs the internal parts into the electric toothbrush shell. Then, the mold 1 102 and mold 2 104 are merged to complete the assembly. When merging the mold 1 102 and mold 2 104, the positioning groove 105 and the positioning block 109 play a positioning role, and the buffer spring 108 buffers the positioning block 109, extending its service life.

[0026] The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a mold groove 1 201, a mold groove 2 202, a connecting block 203, a mounting plate 204, a water collection pipe 205, a water inlet pipe 206, a handle 207, a rinsing nozzle 208, and bolts 209. The mold groove 1 201 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the mold 1 102, and the mold groove 2 202 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the mold 2 104. The connecting block 203 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper rear end of the mold 2 104. The mounting plate 204 is fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the upper front end of the base plate 101.

The bolt 209 is threaded onto the upper end of the base plate 101, extending to the lower part of the base plate 101. After long-term use, dust and other impurities will accumulate on the surface of the fixture. Water enters the water collection pipe 205 through the inlet pipe 206 and finally sprays out from the flushing nozzle 208 to clean the surface of the fixture. During the cleaning process, the operator can rotate the throttle 207 to adjust the angle of the flushing nozzle 208 to improve the cleaning effect. Keeping the fixture clean can extend its service life and avoid wear and malfunctions caused by dirt.

[0027] Working principle: First, when using the 3D-printed electric toothbrush shell fixture, the operator places the 3D-printed electric toothbrush shell into mold slot 1 201 and mold slot 2 202 respectively. After installing the internal parts into the electric toothbrush shell, mold slot 1 102 and mold slot 2 104 are merged to complete the assembly. When merging mold slot 1 102 and mold slot 2 104, the positioning slot 105 and positioning block 109 play a positioning role, and the buffer spring 108 buffers the positioning block 109, extending its service life. After long-term use, dust and other impurities will accumulate on the surface of the fixture. Water enters the water collection pipe 205 through the water inlet pipe 206 and is finally sprayed out from the rinsing nozzle 208 to clean the surface of the fixture. During the cleaning process, the operator can rotate the handle 207 to adjust the angle of the rinsing nozzle 208 to improve the cleaning effect. Keeping the fixture clean can extend its service life and avoid wear and malfunctions caused by dirt.
