Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electric toothbrush technology, and more particularly to a waterproof component used in electric toothbrushes. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, electric toothbrushes have become a common tool for oral hygiene. Because they are often used in humid environments, such as the washbasin, and come into direct contact with water during brushing, the waterproof performance of electric toothbrushes is crucial.

[0003] Currently, most electric toothbrushes have their charging ports located at the bottom, and many only use a rubber pad inserted into the port for protection. In actual use, the charging port is susceptible to water ingress in humid environments, leading to damage and even, in severe cases, short circuits within the toothbrush, affecting its normal operation. Therefore, this invention proposes a waterproof component for electric toothbrushes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a waterproof component for electric toothbrushes to solve the problem of insufficient waterproof effect at the charging port of existing electric toothbrushes.

[0005] This application provides a waterproof component for an electric toothbrush, including a housing, a main unit installed inside the housing, a brush head extending from the top of the main unit and mounted thereon, a button mounted on the side wall of the housing, an annular plate fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the housing, a base plate disposed at the center of the bottom surface of the annular plate, a charging port mounted on one side of the base plate, and flip-close components disposed on both sides of the base plate.

[0006] In some embodiments, the flip-close assembly includes a fixed shell. Two fixed shells are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top surface of the annular plate. A movable plate is movably connected to the inner cavity of each fixed shell. The bottom surface of the movable plate passes through the annular plate and is movably connected to a side tube. The side tube is fixedly connected to the bottom plate. A vertical hole is opened at the center of the top surface of the movable plate. The vertical hole communicates with the side tube. A vertical tube is movably connected inside the vertical hole. The top end of the vertical tube passes through the top surface of the fixed shell and is fixedly connected to the fixed shell. A spring is sleeved on the vertical tube. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top surface of the inner cavity of the fixed shell, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top surface of the movable plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the annular plates are provided with through grooves at the fixed shell locations, and a first sealing ring is fixedly connected in each through groove, with the movable plate passing through the through groove.

[0008] In some embodiments, an elastic sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the vertical tube near the top end, and the outer diameter of the elastic sealing ring is the same as the inner diameter of the vertical tube.

[0009] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the base plate is larger than the inner diameter of the annular plate, and a second sealing ring is fixedly connected to both the upper and lower side walls of the base plate. A sealing groove matching the second sealing ring is formed on the bottom surface of the annular plate.

[0010] In some embodiments, a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the annular plate, the support plate being circular and having the same outer diameter as the annular plate.

[0011] In some embodiments, a leather pad is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate, and the leather pad is arranged in a circular shape.

[0012] With the above solution, the base plate can be pulled during use, causing the movable plate to move within the fixed shell. The movable plate then stretches the spring. When the base plate moves away from the annular plate by a certain distance, rotating the base plate around the side tube releases the base plate. Under the action of the spring, the base plate can be pressed tightly against the bottom surface of the annular plate. At this time, if the charging port faces downwards, it is convenient for charging. If the charging port faces upwards, it can be sealed inside the shell cavity, reducing the amount of water entering the charging port and improving the waterproof effect of the electric toothbrush, resulting in better performance.

A spring 14 is sleeved on the vertical tube 13. One end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the inner cavity of the fixed shell 9, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the movable plate 10.

[0034] In the technical solution of this embodiment, during use, the base plate 6 can be pulled, which can drive the movable plate 10 to move within the fixed shell 9. The movable plate 10 can also drive the spring 14 to stretch. When the base plate 6 is a certain distance away from the annular plate 5, the base plate 6 can be released by rotating it around the side tube 11. Under the action of the spring 14, the base plate 6 can be pressed tightly against the bottom surface of the annular plate 5. At this time, if the charging port 7 is facing down, it is convenient to charge and use. If the charging port 7 is facing up, the charging port 7 can be sealed in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, reducing the amount of water entering the charging port 7 and improving the waterproof effect of the electric toothbrush, resulting in a better performance.

[0035] Furthermore, the annular plate 5 is provided with through grooves at the fixed shell 9, and the first sealing ring 15 is fixedly connected in each through groove. The movable plate 10 is provided through the through groove, which can effectively improve the sealing between the movable plate 10 and the annular plate 5.

[0036] Furthermore, an elastic sealing ring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the vertical tube 13 near the top. The outer diameter of the elastic sealing ring 16 is the same as the inner diameter of the vertical tube 13. One end of the charging wire is connected to the main unit 2, and the other end of the wire passes through the vertical tube 13, the vertical hole 12 and the side tube 11 in sequence, so that the wire is connected to the charging port 7. This enables the main unit 1 to be charged through the charging port 7, and reduces the amount of water entering the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, thus improving the waterproof effect.
