[0067] an inner support 12 arranged in the inner cavity 111, the inner support 12 has a first locking part 121 and a battery compartment 122, and the inner support 12 and the outer shell 11 are separately arranged. That is, the shell body 1 is composed of the outer shell 11 and the inner support 12, since the outer shell 11 and the inner support 12 are separately arranged, the outer shell 11 and the inner support 12 can be manufactured independently, and then the outer shell 11 and the inner support 12 are mounted together, so that the manufacturing difficulty of the shell body 1 is reduced.

[0068] Referring to Figures 2-3 Figure 3In one embodiment, the shell 11 has a buckle groove 114 located on the side wall of the inner cavity 111, and the inner holder 12 is provided with a buckle portion 123 located on one end close to the first locking portion 121, the buckle portion 123 and the buckle groove 114 are matched to fix the inner holder 12 and the shell 11 together, and since the buckle portion 123 is located on one side close to the first locking portion 121, the structural strength of the first locking portion 121 can be increased to ensure that the first locking portion 121 can be reliably buckled with the second locking portion 31, and the structural stability is improved.

[0069] The utility model provides a kind of electric toothbrush, including the shell of above, that is, the shell is applied to electric toothbrush.

[0070] The electric toothbrush of the utility model, since the shell is used, the movable locking member 3 is also arranged on the cover 2, when the opening 112 needs to be covered, the cover 2 is arranged on the shell main body 1, and then the locking member 3 is driven to move to make the second locking portion 31 and the first locking portion 121 buckled, so that the locking member 3 and the shell main body 1 are connected together, thereby realizing the fixed connection of the cover 2 and the shell main body 1, and the cover 2 is limited to the state of covering the opening 112; when the opening 112 needs to be opened, the locking member 3 is driven to move to make the second locking portion 31 and the first locking portion 121 disengaged, so that the locking member 3 and the shell main body 1 are disconnected, thereby releasing the fixed connection of the cover 2 and the shell main body 1, so that the cover 2 can be separated from the opening 112, thereby opening the opening 112, whether the opening 112 is covered or opened, only the locking member 3 needs to be driven, which is simple and convenient to operate, and the operation efficiency is high, and the cover 2 does not need to be rotated, and in the case that the battery spring is arranged between the cover 2 and the shell main body 1, the battery spring can be prevented from being rotated, so that the battery spring maintains the original performance.

[0071] In other embodiments, the shell can also be applied to other household appliances, such as a razor, a sphygmomanometer, a flashlight, etc., which greatly simplifies the operation of opening and closing the shell.

[0072] The utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications or changes to the utility model do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and if these modifications and changes are within the scope of the claims and equivalent technology of the utility model, the utility model also intends to include these modifications and changes.
