[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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] This specific embodiment is a tooth surface cleaning device, the structural diagram of which is shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a handle 5, a drive mechanism 1, a cap 4, and a brush head 3. The handle 5 is a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior. One end of the handle 5 is provided with a cap 4, and the drive mechanism 1 is installed at the end of the handle 5 away from the cap 4. The drive mechanism 1 slides into the interior of the handle 5 along the end of the handle 5. The outer wall of the handle 5 has a gripping part 2, and the gripping part 2 has a protruding anti-slip block.
[0025] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4A brush head 3 is mounted on the end of the drive mechanism 1 facing the cover 4. The drive mechanism 1 includes an adjusting head 6, a drive rod 8, a connecting rod 11, and a sliding end cap 10. A connecting head 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the brush head 3, and the connecting head 12 and the connecting rod 11 are detachably connected. The end of the connecting rod 11 away from the connecting head 12 is fixedly connected to the sliding end cap 10, which has a disc-shaped structure. A guide groove 9 is horizontally opened on the outer wall of the sliding end cap 10, and a guide slider 15 is horizontally fixed on the inner wall of the handle 5, which slides and adapts to the guide groove 9. A threaded block 7 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 11 away from the sliding end cap 10, and the threaded block 7 has a disc-shaped structure. An internal thread 14 is provided on the inner wall of the handle 5, and the threaded block 7 is adapted to the internal thread 14, with two intervals of the internal thread 14 on the inner wall of the handle 5. An adjusting head 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded block 7 away from the drive rod 8, and the adjusting head 6 is located on the outer side of the end of the handle 5. As the threaded block 7 moves, the drive rod 8 moves accordingly and pushes the slider out from the port at the cover 4.
[0026] Reference Figure 5 The connector 12 has a threaded portion protruding from the side facing the connecting rod 11. The connecting rod 11 is a hollow round tube structure and is threaded to fit the connector 12. Figure 5 As shown, this is one embodiment of the threaded connection.

[0027] Working principle: During use, the cap 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the handle 5, and the brush head 3 is embedded inside the handle 5. When teeth cleaning is required, the cap 4 is removed, and then the adjusting head 6 is rotated. The adjusting head 6 is fixedly connected to the threaded block 7, which in turn drives the threaded block 7 to rotate. The threaded block 7 moves out from the internal thread 14 near the end of the handle 5 and moves towards another internal thread 14, where it is threadedly connected. During the movement of the threaded block 7, the drive rod 8 moves accordingly and pushes the slider out from the port at the cap 4. After block 7 is fixed to another internal thread 14, brush head 3 is fully raised out of handle 5 and fixed. During the rotation of the threaded rod, drive rod 8 is rotatably connected to it, so drive rod 8 can only move and cannot rotate. Meanwhile, the sliding end cap 10 at the other end of drive rod 8 is pushed by force. The outer wall of sliding end cap 10 has guide groove 9, which slides along guide slider 15. Sliding end cap 10 keeps moving horizontally and does not rotate, so brush head 3 can be pushed out, so that brush head 3 can slide out of handle 5 or slide into handle 5 stably.
[0028] The brush head 3 can be detachably connected to the connecting rod 11 on the sliding end cap 10 via a connecting block, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a threaded connection can be used, but snap-fit or other fastening methods familiar to those skilled in the art can also be used. The brush head 3 can be replaced after prolonged use.
