Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toothbrush technology, specifically to an inner shaft structure for a toothbrush head that rotates linearly and swings left and right. Background Technology

[0002] A toothbrush is a personal care tool specifically designed for cleaning teeth and maintaining oral hygiene. It typically consists of two main parts: the brush head and the handle. The brush head contains multiple tufts of bristles, usually made of nylon or similar synthetic materials, and is soft or medium-hard, effectively removing food debris and plaque from the tooth surface. Brush heads come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different oral structures and cleaning needs. The handle, which provides grip and operation, is usually made of plastic or rubber and is ergonomically designed for comfortable and convenient use. In addition to manual toothbrushes, there are also electric toothbrushes, which are powered by batteries or rechargeable batteries, providing a more efficient cleaning experience.

[0003] In daily life, the application of automatic cleaning and care devices is becoming increasingly widespread. Electric toothbrushes can clean teeth more conveniently and effectively. Electric toothbrushes are generally divided into replaceable brush heads and handles. Therefore, the traditional method of transmitting the mechanical motion of the handle to the brush head to make the bristles swing is a crucial issue. Traditionally, the connection is rigid and cannot control the swing arc and frequency. How to better control and adjust the swing arc and frequency of the brush head to make the transmission smoother, achieve a better user experience, and improve product performance is an important direction for technological improvement and development in this field. Therefore, we propose an internal shaft structure for a toothbrush head that rotates linearly and swings left and right. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inner shaft structure for a toothbrush head that rotates linearly and swings left and right, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art as described in the background.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An inner shaft structure for a toothbrush head that rotates linearly and oscillates left and right includes a toothbrush head, a support rod, a tail cap, and a toothbrush handle. The toothbrush head and the support rod are connected by a docking device. A slot is provided through the support rod, and an inner shaft assembly is disposed in the slot. The tail cap is disposed between the support rod and the toothbrush handle.

[0007] Preferably, the docking device includes a rotating seat fixedly connected to the lower end of the toothbrush head, a connecting groove is provided through the front side of the support rod, the rotating seat is docked in the connecting groove and a steel sleeve is provided therein, and a head pin is provided through the front end of the support rod, the position of the head pin corresponding to the position of the rotating seat.

[0008] Preferably, the inner shaft assembly includes an eccentric shaft and a drive housing. A drive rod is connected to the drive housing. The eccentric shaft is fixedly connected to the tail end of the drive rod. A drive end cover is provided through the side wall of the drive rod. A spring is sleeved on the side wall of the drive rod. A drive iron shaft is provided through the side wall of the spring. An elastic silicone is provided between the eccentric shaft and the drive end cover.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the tail cap is provided with a circular hole bone locking groove, a bone retainer, a guide bone, and an elliptical cavity, and the tail cap is connected to the toothbrush handle through the elliptical cavity.

[0010] Preferably, the eccentric shaft is coupled to the rotating seat.

[0011] Preferably, a water leakage hole is provided through the tail cap.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, the inner shaft assembly, under the pressure of the toothbrush handle, undergoes a linear motion within the outer casing, which is then changed to a reciprocating motion, driving the brush head to rotate and oscillate, thereby achieving the function of cleaning oral hygiene. The breakthrough lies in controlling the brush head rotation angle and oscillation frequency by changing the linear motion mode of the power source to a new reciprocating motion, thus achieving smooth transmission of the brush head and reducing noise caused by the transmission process. The tail of the inner shaft assembly is directly driven to the handle by spring tension. Under the reciprocating drive of the handle, the inner shaft assembly is driven and drives the eccentric rod to change the direction of rotation in the drive box, making a left-right oscillating reciprocating motion, and driving the toothbrush rotating seat to rotate left and right around the central axis, thereby achieving the effect of whitening teeth.
