[0051] The present utility model will be more clearly and completely explained by means of examples and in conjunction with the drawings, but it is not therefore limited to the scope of the described examples.
[0052] Example 1
[0053] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5-7As shown, the embodiment discloses a mouth guard brush, which comprises a brush head 1 and a brush handle 2, the brush head 1 comprises a first end 11 and a second end 12, the brush handle 2 is connected to the second end 12, the outer diameter of the brush head 1 gradually decreases from the second end 12 to the first end 11, the brush head 1 has a first mounting surface 13, the first mounting surface 13 comprises a first bristle area 131 and a second bristle area 132 arranged in sequence from the first end 11 to the second end 12, a plurality of first bristles 1311 are installed in the first bristle area 131, and the first bristles 1311 are used for cleaning a tip cavity 301 and an accessory cavity 302 of a mouth guard 300.
[0054] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the brush handle 2 of the mouth guard brush is used for being held by hand, the brush head 1 is provided with bristles, the shape of the brush head 1 is arranged to gradually decrease from the second end 12 to the first end 11, so that the brush head 1 is in a tip shape, the bristles of the brush head 1 can be inserted into the tip cavity 301 or the accessory cavity 302 of the mouth guard 300 (as shown in Figures 5-7 , and thus the first bristles 1311 arranged at the front end of the brush head 1 can clean the relatively narrow and deep cavity in the mouth guard 300, and the cleaning effect of the mouth guard 300 is improved.
[0055] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, a plurality of second bristles 1321 are installed in the second bristle area 132, and the length of the second bristles 1321 is less than the length of the first bristles 1311. By arranging the second bristles 1321 in the second bristle area 132, the coverage area of the bristles on the brush head 1 is increased, and correspondingly, the cleaning range of the mouth guard brush is increased, and the cleaning effect is improved. By arranging the length of the first bristles 1311 to be greater than the length of the second bristles 1321, the bristles near the end of the brush head 1 are longer, and the bristles of the first bristle area 131 can be used to clean the relatively narrow and deep cavity in the mouth guard 300, and the bristles of the second bristle area 132 are used for cleaning the remaining positions of the mouth guard 300, so that the mouth guard 300 can be cleaned in all directions, and the cleaning effect is improved.
[0056] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the length of the first bristle area 131 along the first direction 100 is less than the length of the second bristle area 132 along the first direction 100, so that the length of the first bristle area 131 is shortened, and the number of the first bristles 1311 is less than the number of the second bristles 1321, and the first bristles 1311 can be inserted into the relatively deep and narrow cavity. The first direction 100 is the length direction of the mouth guard brush. In an optional embodiment, the difference between the length of the first bristles 1311 and the length of the second bristles 1321 is not less than 1 millimeter, so as to meet the depth requirement of most mouth guards 300.
[0057] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the width of the first bristle area 131 along the second direction 200 is less than the width of the second bristle area 132 along the second direction 200, so that the first bristle area 131 is narrowed, and the number of the first bristles 1311 is less than the number of the second bristles 1321, which facilitates the first bristles 1311 to be able to penetrate into a deeper narrow cavity. Wherein, the second direction 200 is the width direction of the mouthguard brush.
[0058] In an optional embodiment, the width of the first bristle area 131 along the second direction 200 is not less than 2mm and not more than 5mm, so that the setting width of the bristles in the first bristle area 131 matches the inner cavity of most mouthguards 300, improving the cleaning effect. Preferably, the width of the first bristle area 131 along the second direction 200 is 3mm.
[0059] In the embodiment, a predetermined distance 3 is reserved between the first bristle area 131 and the second bristle area 132, and the size of the predetermined distance can be set according to user needs. Due to the existence of the predetermined distance 3, some bristles can be planted on the first mounting surface 13, saving the amount of bristles and saving manufacturing costs. At the same time, when manufacturing the mouthguard brush, different models or different colors of bristles can be planted in the first bristle area 131 and the second bristle area 132, which can be distinguished.
[0060] In the embodiment, the brush head 1 is in a conical structure, which facilitates the conical brush head 1 to penetrate into a narrow cavity, improving the cleaning effect.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, the brush head 1 also has a second mounting surface 14 adjacent to the first mounting surface 13, the second mounting surface 14 is located at the end face of the brush head 1 away from the brush handle 2, and a plurality of third bristles (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the second mounting surface 14, so that the end of the brush head 1 towards the front is also provided with bristles, which facilitates the mouthguard brush to clean the area towards the first mounting surface 13 of the mouthguard 300 while also being able to clean the area towards the front of the brush head, improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0062] In another optional embodiment, a plurality of fourth bristles (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the two side edges 15 of the brush head 1, so that the mounting surface and the edges 15 of the brush head 1 both have bristles at the same time, which facilitates the mouthguard brush to clean the area towards the first mounting surface 13 of the mouthguard 300 while also being able to clean the area towards the two sides of the brush head 1, improving the cleaning range and cleaning efficiency.
[0063] In yet another optional embodiment, bristles are arranged on the second mounting surface 14 of the brush head 1 and the two sides of the brush head 1, further improving the cleaning effect of the mouthguard brush.
[0064] The present embodiment also discloses a toothbrush assembly, which comprises a toothbrush and the mouthguard brush as described above.
[0065] Embodiment 2
[0066] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that the first bristle area 131 and the second bristle area 132 are adjacently arranged. When manufacturing the mouthguard brush as described above, the bristles do not need to be manufactured in sections, which facilitates the implantation of the bristles on the mounting surface of the brush head 1 at one time, simplifies the manufacturing process, and improves the production efficiency.
[0067] In an alternative embodiment, the first bristles and the second bristles are arranged in a stepped manner in the direction from the brush head to the brush handle.
[0068] In another alternative embodiment, the first bristles and the second bristles are arranged in a gradual change manner in the direction from the brush head to the brush handle, with the height gradually decreasing or increasing.
