[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0020] A toothbrush with a replaceable brush head includes a handle 1, a connecting rod 2, and a brush head 3. The two ends of the connecting rod 2 are fixedly connected to the handle 1 and the brush head 3, respectively. The brush head 3 has a storage groove 39, and a base plate 4 is provided on the top of the brush head 3. Brush bristles 5 are provided on the top of the base plate 4. Rectangular cavities 15 are provided on the base plate 4 near both the left and right sides. A rectangular slot 14 communicating with the inner cavity of the storage groove 39 is provided at the bottom of each rectangular cavity 15. Limiting blocks 16 are slidably connected to the inner cavities of both rectangular cavities 15, and the right side of the limiting block 16... Two movable blocks 13 are fixedly connected. The bottoms of the two movable blocks 13 respectively penetrate the inner cavities of adjacent rectangular slots 14, and each is fixedly connected to a vertical rod 12. The bottom ends of the two vertical rods 12 are fixedly connected to movable plates 11, and the same first pull rod 17 is horizontally fixed through the two movable plates 11. A cylindrical cavity 32 is opened on the connecting rod 2, and a first through hole communicating with the inner cavity of the cylindrical cavity 32 is opened at the bottom left side of the connecting rod 2. A first through groove communicating with the inner cavity of the cylindrical cavity 32 is opened on the outer wall of the connecting rod 2, and the first... The other end of the pull rod 17 passes through the first through hole and the inner cavity of the first through groove, and is fixedly connected to the first arc-shaped cover plate 18. A first fixing ring 19 is sleeved and fixed on the outer wall of the first pull rod 17, and a first spring 20 is sleeved on the first pull rod 17. The two ends of the first spring 20 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity 32 and the first fixing ring 19, respectively. When it is necessary to replace the bristles 5 on the brush head 3 and the base plate 4, the first arc-shaped cover plate 18 can be pushed to move horizontally to the right, and the two moving plates 11 can be moved horizontally to the right by the first pull rod 17. The movement causes the two vertical rods 12 to drive the two movable blocks 13 to slide horizontally to the right, and also causes the limiting block 16 to move horizontally to a position flush with the left side of the inner cavity of the rectangular slot 14. After pulling the base plate 4 upward, the base plate 4 and the bristles 5 can be removed from the brush head 3. Then, by turning the cross knob 10 and driving the base 7 to rotate, the threaded tube 8 and the sealing ring 9 can be unscrewed from the storage cavity 6. The spare base plate 4 with bristles 5 can then be taken out of the storage cavity 6 and installed on the brush head 3 for use.

[0021] The bottom of the inner cavity of the storage slot 39 is provided with a lifting plate 21, and the top of the lifting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides. Dental floss 23 is provided between the two fixed rods 22. A square hole is opened on the lifting plate 21 near the left side, and a T-shaped square rod 24 slides through the inner cavity of the square hole. When the bottom plate 4 is removed and the storage slot 39 is opened, the lifting plate 21 can be pulled to move vertically upward under the limiting action of the T-shaped square rod 24, thereby driving the dental floss 23 to rise above the brush head 3. The dental floss 23 has the function of removing teeth, making it convenient for users to clean the toothbrush.

[0022] A fixing hole 25 is provided on the right side of the lifting plate 21, and a vertical plate 26 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the lifting plate 21. A positioning hole 27 of the same size as the fixing hole 25 is provided near the top of the vertical plate 26. A second through hole communicating with the inner cavity of the cylindrical cavity 32 is provided at the top left side of the connecting rod 2, and a second pull rod 28 slides through the inner cavity of the second through hole. The longest end of the second pull rod 28 is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning hole 27. A second fixing ring 30 is sleeved and fixed on the outer wall of the second pull rod 28, and a second spring 31 is sleeved on the outer side of the second pull rod 28. The two ends of the second spring 31 are respectively connected to the inner cavity of the cylindrical cavity 32. The wall and the second fixing ring 30 are fixedly connected. The outer wall of the connecting rod 2 is provided with a second through groove that matches the second pull rod 28. The other end of the second pull rod 28 passes through the inner cavity of the second through groove and is fixedly connected with the second arc-shaped cover plate 29. By inserting the longest end of the second pull rod 28 into the inner cavity of the positioning hole 27, the lifting plate 21 can be locked to prevent the lifting plate 21 from shaking during brushing and affecting the brushing experience. In addition, when the dental floss 23 rises above the brush head 3, the longest end of the second pull rod 28 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the fixing hole 25 to lock and fix the dental floss 23, thereby improving the stability during use.

[0023] A storage cavity 33 is provided near the left end of the brush handle 1, and an access hole 34 communicating with the inner cavity of the storage cavity 33 is provided at the top left side of the brush handle 1. An annular cover plate 35 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 2, and the annular cover plate 35 is fitted to the brush handle 1. A round hole 36 of the same size as the access hole 34 is provided on the annular cover plate 35. A blind hole 37 is provided on the left side of the annular cover plate 35, and a positioning rod 38 that matches it is inserted into the inner cavity of the blind hole 37. The other end of the positioning rod 38 is fixedly connected to the second arc-shaped cover plate 29. A certain number of toothpicks can be put into the storage cavity 33 through the round hole 36 and the access hole 34, so that they can be taken out when the user needs to pick their teeth.

[0024] A storage cavity 6 is provided at the center of the right side of the brush handle 1, and an internal thread is provided on the right side of the inner cavity of the storage cavity 6. The inner cavity of the storage cavity 6 is connected to a threaded tube 8 through the internal thread, and a base 7 is fixedly connected to the right end of the threaded tube 8. A cross knob 10 is provided in the inner cavity of the base 7. The base 7 can increase the contact area between the toothbrush and the table when it is placed upright, thereby improving the stability of the toothbrush when it is placed upright. At the same time, by turning the cross knob 10, the base 7 can be rotated, thereby improving the convenience of opening and closing the storage cavity 6. A sealing ring 9 is fixedly connected to the left end of the threaded tube 8. By storing the spare base plate 4 with bristles 5 into the inner cavity of the storage cavity 6, and then screwing the threaded tube 8 into the storage cavity 6, the base plate 4 can be limited, while ensuring that the bristles 5 are clean and tidy.

[0025] Working Principle: In use, this invention allows for the pre-storage of a spare base plate 4 with bristles 5 in the storage cavity 6. Simultaneously, a certain number of toothpicks can be stored in the storage cavity 33. When the bristles 5 need to be replaced, simply push the first arc-shaped cover plate 18 horizontally to the right. This, along with the first pull rod 17, causes the two moving plates 11 to move horizontally to the right simultaneously. This, in turn, causes the two vertical rods 12 to move the two movable blocks 13 horizontally to the right, and simultaneously causes the two limiting blocks 16 to move to the right. Once the left side of the limiting block 16 is aligned with the left side of the inner cavity of the rectangular slot 14, the base plate 4 can be pulled to remove the bristles 5 from the brush head 3. Then, by turning the cross knob 10 and rotating the base 7, the threaded tube 8 and sealing ring 9 can be unscrewed from the storage cavity 6. The base plate 4 stored in the storage cavity 6 can then be removed and installed on the brush head 3, thus enabling the toothbrush to be used continuously and reducing its operating costs. Furthermore, when the user needs to clean their teeth, they can use toothpicks or other cleaning agents. When using dental floss 23, if toothpicks are needed, push the second arc-shaped cover 29 horizontally to the left and disengage the positioning rod 38 from the inner cavity of the blind hole 37. Then, rotate the annular cover 35 to align the round hole 36 with the access hole 34, allowing the toothpick to be poured out of the storage cavity 33 for easy access. When dental floss 23 is needed, repeat the above operation and open the storage slot 39. Then, push the second arc-shaped cover 29 horizontally to the right and push the second pull rod 28 out from the inner cavity of the positioning hole 27. Next, pull the lifting plate 21 vertically upward and raise the dental floss 23 to the top of the brush head 3. After releasing the second arc-shaped cover 29, the longest end of the second pull rod 28 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the fixing hole 25 under the action of the second spring 31, thereby locking and fixing the lifting plate 21 and improving the stability of dental floss 23 during use. By increasing the functionality of the toothbrush, it is beneficial to further promote it in the market.
