Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral hygiene technology, specifically to a self-powered oral hygiene device. Background Technology
[0002] Cleaning the mouth is an important way to maintain oral health. It is inevitable to use various oral cleaning tools to assist in oral cleaning. Common oral cleaning tools include electric toothbrushes, water flossers, and ultrasonic cleaners. Using these tools can not only improve cleaning efficiency but also enhance the cleaning effect.
[0003] However, after cleaning the mouth, these instruments will inevitably have some residual bacteria. If these bacteria are not disinfected in time, they will continue to grow and contaminate the mouth the next time the instrument is used, causing incalculable harm to oral health.
[0004] In response to the above phenomena, some cleaning products sold on the market are equipped with disinfection and sterilization devices. Among them, the more convenient ones have disinfection and sterilization devices installed in the cleaning equipment storage box. After the cleaning products are used, they can be stored in the storage box, and the disinfection and sterilization device is powered by the built-in battery in the storage box, or by using a charging cable to connect the power input interface of the storage box to an external power source to power the disinfection and sterilization device, so that the disinfection and sterilization device can work normally and disinfect the cleaning products stored in the storage box.
[0005] However, such devices either come with their own batteries, which significantly increases the product cost and imposes various restrictions on logistics and transportation, or they are not equipped with batteries and require an external power source to perform bacterial disinfection, causing great inconvenience to users. In either case, it is difficult to gain a competitive advantage in an increasingly competitive market, resulting in cleaning products with built-in bacterial disinfection devices being unpopular with consumers. This has led to the widespread use of such products, which, strictly speaking, is not conducive to the promotion of oral health. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A self-powered oral hygiene device includes: a cleaning device storage box 1 for storing a cleaning device 2, wherein the cleaning device storage box 1 has multiple storage cavities, including at least a main unit storage cavity 13 and a cleaning head storage cavity 14; the cleaning device 2 includes a cleaning main unit 21 and a cleaning head 22, wherein the cleaning main unit 21 has a built-in battery, and the cleaning head 22 is used for oral hygiene, and the cleaning main unit is used to support and / or drive the cleaning head 22 to perform cleaning operations; a bacteria disinfection device 3 is disposed on the wall of the cleaning head storage cavity 14 for disinfecting bacteria attached to the cleaning head 22; a power connection mechanism including a power supply end and a power receiving end, wherein the power supply end is disposed on the cleaning main unit 21, and the power receiving end is disposed on the cleaning device storage box 1, and the power connection mechanism is used to realize the circuit connection between the cleaning main unit 21 and the bacteria disinfection device 3; and a power supply induction control circuit for controlling the power supply mechanism to start and stop and the power supply duration.
[0025] The cleaning equipment storage box 1 includes a storage box cover 11 and a storage box base 12 that are rotatably connected to each other. A cavity is formed between the storage box cover 11 and the storage box base 12, and multiple storage cavities are formed within the cavity. The storage box lid 11 and the storage box base 12 are connected by flipping each other on the same side edge through a soft adhesive strip. The side edge facing the soft adhesive strip is respectively equipped with a first magnetic 112 and a second magnetic 122. The first magnetic 112 and the second magnetic 122 are magnetically attracted to each other. The storage box lid 11 includes an outer lid shell 111 and an inner lid shell 113. The storage box base 12 includes an inner base shell 121 and an outer base shell 123. When the storage box lid 11 and the storage box base 12 are in the closed state, the first magnetic 112 and the second magnetic 122 can maintain the closed state of the two by magnetic attraction. The closed state between the storage box lid 11 and the storage box base 12 can only be unlocked when the opening force applied by the outside is greater than the magnetic attraction force.
[0026] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 2 is an electric toothbrush, the cleaning host 21 is an electric toothbrush handle, and the cleaning head 22 is a toothbrush head detachably connected to the electric toothbrush handle. The electric toothbrush handle has a built-in battery. The power supply end of the power receiving mechanism uses a wireless transmitting coil 41, which is located at the tail end of the electric toothbrush handle and encapsulated in the tail end cover 211 of the electric toothbrush. The power receiving mechanism uses a wireless receiving coil 42 and a circuit board assembly 43. The wireless receiving coil 42 is located on the side wall of the host storage cavity 13 facing the tail end cover 211 of the electric toothbrush and is close to the wireless transmitting coil 41. The circuit board assembly 43 is located inside the housing of the cleaning device storage box 1. The wireless receiving coil 42 and the circuit board assembly 43 are electrically connected. When the electric toothbrush handle is stored in the host storage cavity 13, the wireless transmitting coil 41 and the wireless receiving coil 42 are wirelessly electromagnetically connected.
[0027] The power connection mechanism can also use a combination of male electrode connector and female electrode connector. The power supply end is the female electrode connector, and the power receiving end is the male electrode connector. The female electrode connector is set on the cleaning host 21, and the male electrode connector is set on the side wall of the host storage cavity 13 near the female electrode connector.

The observation window 114 penetrates the housing of the cleaning equipment storage box 1, and a transparent panel 115 is encapsulated on the outer end face of the observation window 114. Whether the UV germicidal lamp is lit can be observed through the transparent panel 115, thus determining whether the bacterial disinfection device 3 has started working.
[0030] Operating mode: When the electric toothbrush handle and toothbrush head are respectively aligned and stored in the main unit storage cavity 13 and the cleaning head storage cavity 14, the wireless receiving coil 42 is triggered by the magnetic field of the wireless transmitting coil 41. Under the action of the trigger signal, the power supply induction control circuit in the circuit board assembly 43 is activated, and the factory preset working mode is called to control the wireless receiving coil 42 and the wireless transmitting coil 41 to turn on the wireless power-on mode. When the set power-on time ends, the circuit connection between the wireless receiving coil 42 and the wireless transmitting coil 41 is disconnected. When the circuit connection is not disconnected, the current in the circuit can drive the UV sterilization lamp to light up, thereby realizing the sterilization of bacteria on the toothbrush head.
[0031] In summary, this utility model eliminates the need for a separate battery in the cleaning equipment storage box 1. When the cleaning host 21 is stored inside the storage box, it can draw power from the cleaning host 21 through the power supply induction control circuit and the power connection mechanism, and then use the power to power the bacteria disinfection device 3. This allows the bacteria disinfection device 3 to disinfect the cleaning equipment 2 stored in the cleaning equipment storage box 1, effectively reducing the cost of cleaning tools with built-in bacteria disinfection devices 3 and facilitating logistics and transportation. It is not only highly practical but also beneficial to the promotion of oral health.
