DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] At present, in the prior art, the replacement period of toothbrushes for different groups of people is also different, which can be roughly divided into the following cases.

[0036] Adults:

[0037] General situation: Most oral cavity experts and manufacturers recommend that adult toothbrushes should be replaced every 3 to 4 months, and this recommendation is based on the degree of wear of the bristles and the risk of bacterial accumulation.

[0038] Special situation: If the toothbrush bristles are obviously worn, forked, deformed or the like, or if the person has periodontitis or other oral cavity diseases, the toothbrush may need to be replaced more frequently to reduce the risk of bacterial breeding and transmission.

[0039] Children:

[0040] General situation: children's toothbrushes should be replaced every three months or so, and if possible, they should be replaced every month or so. Because if the time is too long, it will cause dirt and bacteria to accumulate between the bristles, affecting the cleaning effect.

[0041] Special situation: If the child brushes his teeth frequently and strictly follows the doctor's instructions, the wear and tear of the toothbrush may be faster, in which case it should be replaced regularly. It is generally recommended to replace it every month or so to ensure the cleaning effect and safety of the toothbrush.

[0042] Old people:

[0043] General situation: middle-aged and old people should develop the habit of brushing their teeth correctly, and it is recommended to replace the toothbrush every 3 months. If the bristles of the toothbrush curl, it should be replaced in advance.

[0044] Special situation: Because the oral health status of middle-aged and old people may be more complex, if they have oral diseases or low immunity, it is recommended to replace the toothbrush more frequently to reduce the risk of bacterial growth and infection

[0045] As can be seen, regular replacement of dental appliances, that is, regular replacement of toothbrushes is very important in daily life, and has a profound impact on the cleaning effect of the toothbrush and the health of the people.

[0046] It needs to be understood that the dental appliances in this application take into account toothbrushes and toothpaste, and regular replacement of dental appliances means regular replacement of toothbrushes.

[0047] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0048] By Figures 1 to 6 Given, some embodiments of the present application relate to limited-term dental appliances, including toothpaste hoses and toothbrushes,

[0049] The toothpaste hose includes a tube body 1, a tube shoulder 2, a tube nozzle 3, and a cap 4;

[0050] At least part of the tube body 1 is formed in the brush handle 5, and the volume of toothpaste in the tube body 1 is 50-250 times the volume of toothpaste carried by the bristles 8;

[0051] The tube shoulder 2 is formed between the tube body 1 and the brush neck 6, and the tube shoulder 2 is used to communicate the tube body 1 and the brush neck 6;

[0052] The tube nozzle 3 is movably installed on the brush head 7, and the tube nozzle 3 is used to communicate the brush neck 6 and the bristles 8;

[0053] The cap 4 is detachably installed on the brush head 7, and the cap 4 is used to drive the tube nozzle 3 to extend out of the brush head 7;

[0054] The toothbrush includes a brush handle 5, a brush neck 6, a brush head 7, and bristles 8;

[0055] At least part of the brush handle 5 is formed outside the tube body 1;

[0056] The brush neck 6 is formed between the tube shoulder 2 and the brush head 7, and the brush neck 6 is used to communicate the tube shoulder 2 and the brush head 7;

[0057] The upper surface of the brush head 7 is fixedly installed with the bristles 8, and the lower surface of the brush head 7 is formed with the through hole 9 used to movably install the tube nozzle 3;

[0058] The bristles 8 can be moved into or out of the cap 4 at the through hole 9.

[0059] In these embodiments, the toothpaste tube and the toothbrush are integrally formed, the toothpaste tube is filled with toothpaste for toothbrushing, and the toothpaste is delivered to the bristles 8 of the toothbrush by extruding the toothpaste tube, and then the toothpaste is used for toothbrushing. The volume of toothpaste in the tube body 1 refers to the volume of toothpaste that can be extruded, that is, the actual volume of toothpaste that can be used. Since part of the toothpaste will be left in the toothbrush during actual use, the volume of toothpaste filled in the toothbrush is usually greater than the volume of toothpaste that can be extruded. In addition, the volume of toothpaste carried by the bristles 8 refers to the volume of toothpaste used each time for toothbrushing. In daily life, the volume of toothpaste used each time for toothbrushing is roughly the same. By the action that the volume of toothpaste in the tube body 1 is 50-300 times the volume of toothpaste carried by the bristles 8, the time for which the toothpaste can be used is roughly one month to four months, that is, the service life of the toothbrush is roughly one month to four months. Then, according to the actual use requirement, the volume of toothpaste filled in the toothpaste tube is selected, so that the service life of the toothbrush can be any one of one month, two months, three months, and four months, and the toothbrush with a reasonable service life can be selected according to the use requirement, so as to timely and effectively visually assist people in replacing the toothbrush within a reasonable service life.

[0060] Through the cooperation of the tube body 1, the tube shoulder 2, the tube nozzle 3, the cap 4, the brush handle 5, the brush neck 6, the brush head 7, and the bristles 8, the toothbrush is integrally formed (except for the tube nozzle 3, the cap 4, and the bristles 8), the structure is more ingenious, and the use is more convenient. The cost of replacing the toothbrush is greatly reduced, so as to facilitate people in replacing the toothbrush within a reasonable service life. The toothpaste is delivered to the brush neck 6 through the tube shoulder 2 by extruding the tube body 1, the toothpaste is delivered to the brush head 7 by the brush neck 6, and then the toothpaste in the brush head 7 is delivered to the bristles 8 through the tube nozzle 3. After the toothpaste needed for use is extruded in the bristles 8, the toothbrush is held by the brush handle 5 for toothbrushing. After toothbrushing is completed, the cap 4 is covered on the tube nozzle 3 in the brush head 7 for storage, so as to facilitate the use of toothbrushing next time, thereby avoiding the waste caused by the toothbrush being replaced too soon or the cleaning effect being affected by the toothbrush being replaced too late.

[0061] In addition, the nozzle 3 is movably mounted on the brush head 7 through the through hole 9. When the nozzle 3 is pressed into the brush head 7, the nozzle 3 communicates with the brush neck 6, and at the same time, the outlet of the nozzle 3 moves closer to the bristles 8, thereby delivering toothpaste to the bristles 8. When storing the toothbrush, the cap 4 is inserted into the through hole 9 from the bristle 8 side, and the nozzle 3 is pushed out of the brush head 7. This facilitates storage and use, and also ensures the safe storage of the nozzle 3 outlet, thus ensuring the smooth extrusion of toothpaste.

[0062] In some embodiments of the time-limited dental appliance, the brush handle 5 is located on the outer surface of the left side of the tube body 1, and the brush handle 5 extends sequentially to the tube shoulder 2 and the brush neck 6, with at least a portion of the brush neck 6 formed within the brush handle 5.

[0063] In these embodiments, the tube body 1 and the brush neck 6 are connected and reinforced by the brush handle 5, which makes it easy to hold during use and to quickly squeeze toothpaste into the bristles 8.

[0064] In some embodiments of the time-limited dental appliance, the brush handle 5 is a rigid tube. The brush handle 5 is composed of a body section 501, a shoulder section 502, and a neck section 503. The body section 501 is formed on the outer surface of the tube body 1, the shoulder section 502 is formed on the outer surface of the shoulder 2, and the neck section 503 is formed on the outer surface of the brush neck 6.

[0065] In these implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the brush handle 5, composed of the body section 501, shoulder section 502, and neck section 503, is formed on the outer surface of the tube body 1, shoulder section 2, and neck 6, which effectively improves the support effect during use and makes it easier to brush teeth.

[0066] To further improve the convenience of squeezing out toothpaste, in some embodiments of the time-limited toothbrush, the brush handle 5 includes at least one rigid reinforcing rib 10, with the left portion of the rigid reinforcing rib 10 formed on the brush neck 6, the middle portion of the rigid reinforcing rib 10 formed on the shoulder 2, and the right portion of the rigid reinforcing rib 10 formed on the body 1.

[0067] In these implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, there are two rigid reinforcing ribs 10. The two rigid reinforcing ribs 10 are formed opposite to each other on the outer surface of the tube body 1, tube shoulder 2 and brush neck 6. This not only allows for stable gripping and use, but also facilitates the squeezing out of toothpaste, which helps to reduce residue caused during use.

[0068] In some embodiments of the time-limited dental appliance, a first channel 11 communicating with the shoulder 2 is formed in the brush neck 6, and a second channel 12 is formed in the brush head 7, the second channel 12 being used to connect the first channel 11 with the nozzle 3.

[0069] In these embodiments, the toothpaste can be delivered smoothly through the cooperation of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12.

[0070] In some embodiments of the time-limited dental appliance, the nozzle 3 includes a base 301 and a guide tube 302. The base 301 is slidably installed in the through hole 9, and the guide tube 302 is formed on the upper part of the base 301. The inlet of the guide tube 302 can communicate with the second channel 12, and the outlet of the guide tube 302 is communicated with the bristles 8.

[0071] In these implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, a limiting groove is formed on the side of the through hole 9 near the second channel 12. The outlet of the guide tube 302 can move in the limiting groove. When the nozzle 3 is pushed into the through hole 9 of the brush head 7, the inlet of the guide tube 302 connects with the second channel 12, thereby conveying toothpaste from the outlet of the guide tube 302 to the bristles 8. When the nozzle 3 is pushed out of the brush head 7, the inlet of the guide tube 302 is disconnected from the second channel 12, and its inlet is sealed by the limiting groove, which effectively prevents toothpaste from being accidentally squeezed out during storage and helps to improve storage safety.

[0072] In some embodiments of time-limited dental appliances, a sealing piece 303 is formed on the inner wall of the guide tube 302 near its outlet, the sealing piece 303 being used to open or close the opening of the guide tube 302.

[0073] In these embodiments, the sealing piece 303 can be a pointed nozzle. The pointed nozzle of the sealing piece 303 effectively prevents backflow of the nozzle 3 during brushing, thus ensuring the safety of unused toothpaste during storage. The pointed nozzle can be the type disclosed in a portable toothbrush device in Chinese Patent No. CN221204439U. Alternatively, the sealing piece 303 can be a latex sheet with a protruding central portion that can open and close. When toothpaste is squeezed out, the sealing piece 303 is opened to expel the toothpaste; when toothpaste is not being squeezed out, the sealing piece 303 automatically closes to prevent backflow of the nozzle 3.

[0074] In some embodiments of the time-limited dental appliance, the bristles 8 have a clearance space 13 formed at the through hole 9, and the cap 4 can pass through the clearance space 13 and be inserted into the through hole 9, and the cap 4 can abut against the nozzle 3.

[0075] In some embodiments of the time-limited dental appliance, a first recess 14 is formed in the middle of the cap 4, and a second recess 15 is formed in the middle of the bristles 8.

[0076] In these implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first recess 14 in the middle of the cap 4 makes it easier to hold, and the space 13 allows for quick loading and unloading of the cap 4, making it more flexible to use. The second recess 15 in the middle of the bristles 8 allows the squeezed toothpaste to be better formed on the bristles 8, which helps to ensure that the volume of toothpaste squeezed out each time is roughly the same.

[0077] In some limited period tooth implement embodiments, the right end of the tube body 1 is formed with a hose seal 16.

[0078] In these embodiments, the hose seal 16 can both ensure the closure of the toothpaste hose and facilitate the extrusion of the toothpaste.

[0079] The above-described specific embodiments further detail the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present application, and it should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments are merely examples of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
