Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral hygiene and care, and more specifically, to a disposable tongue cleaner. Background Technology

[0002] Tongue cleaners are mainly used for oral hygiene and care, especially for cleaning the tongue coating. By using a tongue cleaner regularly, food residue, bacteria, and sloughed epithelial cells on the tongue coating can be effectively removed, thereby preventing oral diseases such as bad breath, gingivitis, and periodontitis.

[0003] When you place the brush head of the tongue cleaner on your tongue, the scrapers or array of particles on the brush head will rub against the tongue coating with appropriate force and movement, thereby scraping off food residue, bacteria, and sloughed epithelial cells. At the same time, the soft material and curved design of the brush head can better adapt to the shape and contour of the tongue, ensuring a more comprehensive and thorough cleaning effect.

[0004] Existing tongue cleaners cannot effectively clean hard-to-reach areas such as the top and edges of the tongue, leading to incomplete cleaning, bad breath, oral diseases, impaired taste, and respiratory problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of disposable tongue cleaner. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a disposable tongue cleaner to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0007] A disposable tongue cleaner includes a handle, one end of which is connected to a connecting neck, and the other end of which is connected to a cleaning head. The cleaning head has a cavity, and a first scraper and a second scraper are arranged sequentially from bottom to top in the cavity. A third scraper is arranged at the top of the cleaning head. A first cleaning zone is arranged in the middle of the first scraper, and second cleaning zones are arranged on both sides of the first cleaning zone. A third cleaning zone is arranged on both sides of the second cleaning zone. Each of the first, second, and third cleaning zones has multiple bristles. The diameter of the bristles in the first cleaning zone is smaller than that in the second cleaning zone, and the diameter of the bristles in the second cleaning zone is smaller than that in the third cleaning zone. The second scraper is provided with wavy silicone.

[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning head is circular, and the first scraper, second scraper, and third scraper have a raised arc-shaped structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the handle is connected to the cleaning head via a connecting neck, which is at an arc angle.

[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning head, the first scraper, and the second scraper are all provided with massage heads at equal intervals on their reverse sides, and are in a semi-circular shape.

[0011] Furthermore, both the connecting neck and the lower part of the cleaning head are wrapped with sponge.

[0012] Furthermore, the handle has vertical grooves in the center of both the front and back sides, and the handle edges and grooves are provided with anti-slip textures.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) The first scraper, the second scraper and the third scraper are set with a raised arc structure to increase the cleaning area and depth, which helps to scrape off different layers of tongue coating, clean from shallow to deep step by step, and improve cleaning efficiency. Different diameters and densities of bristles are set on the first cleaning area, the second cleaning area and the third cleaning area. Smaller bristle diameter is suitable for areas that need fine cleaning, while larger bristle diameter is suitable for areas that need stronger cleaning power, which can adapt to the cleaning power needs of different parts of the tongue.

[0015] (2) This solution sets the connecting neck at an arc angle, so that the cleaner can fit the user's hand and oral structure more naturally during use, reducing discomfort during use and achieving better cleaning effect.

[0016] (3) This solution creates a groove in the middle of the front and back of the handle, which allows the user's fingers to fit and hold the handle more naturally. Especially during long-term use, it can reduce hand fatigue. The handle edge and the groove are provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction of the handle surface and prevent the cleaner from slipping due to wet or slippery hands during use.

[0017] (4) The cleaner is designed to be short and lightweight, which reduces production costs. Its single-use design ensures that each cleaning is clean and hygienic, reducing the risk of cross-infection. Attached Figure Description

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 A disposable tongue cleaner includes a handle 1, with a connecting neck 3 connected to one end of the handle 1. The arc shape of the connecting neck 3 helps to better fit the surface of the tongue and improve cleaning efficiency. The other end of the connecting neck 3 is connected to a cleaning head 4. The cleaning head 4 has a cavity 5, and a first scraper 6 and a second scraper 7 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top in the cavity 5. A third scraper 8 is located at the top of the cleaning head 4. The initial cleaning by the first scraper 6 can quickly reduce the amount of dirt on the tongue. The second scraper 7 further scrapes away any missed tongue coating dirt. The third scraper 8 scrapes away the residue after cleaning, ensuring a thorough cleaning of the tongue surface. A first cleaning zone 9 is located in the upper middle part of the first scraper 6. Second cleaning zones 10 are located on both sides of the first cleaning zone 9. Third cleaning zones 11 are located on both sides of the second cleaning zone 10. Each of the first cleaning zone 9, second cleaning zone 10, and third cleaning zone 11 has multiple bristles 12, with the bristles 12 arranged in ascending order of diameter for the first cleaning zone 9, second cleaning zone 10, and third cleaning zone 11. 0. The third cleaning zone 11 has bristles 12 arranged in descending order of density, corresponding to the first cleaning zone 9, the second cleaning zone 10, and the third cleaning zone 11. By increasing the diameter and density of the bristles 12, the cleaning process allows for a gentle initial cleaning of the tongue coating with denser, softer bristles 12, gradually transitioning to larger, more sparser bristles 12 to remove more stubborn or larger particles. This achieves a gradual transition from fine cleaning to powerful cleaning, improving the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the cleaning. The second scraper 7 features a wavy silicone 13. The soft silicone material does not scratch the oral mucosa when in contact with the tongue coating. Its wavy structure increases the contact area and friction with the tongue coating, more effectively removing mucus and residual dirt from the surface. This solves the problem that existing tongue cleaners cannot effectively clean the top and edges of the tongue coating.

[0025] See Figures 1-3The cleaning head 4, the first scraper 6, and the second scraper 7 are all equipped with massage heads 14 at equal intervals on their reverse sides, and they are semi-circular. After cleaning the tongue coating, place the reverse side of the cleaning head 4 on the tongue surface. The semi-circular massage heads 14 can gently massage the tongue. Their equal distribution can ensure that the massage intensity is uniform, stimulate the nerve endings on the surface of the tongue, and promote blood circulation in the tongue.

[0026] See Figure 1 Both the neck 3 and the lower part of the cleaning head 4 are covered with sponges. When the cleaner is used in the mouth, the sponges can effectively absorb saliva and saliva in the mouth, preventing saliva or moisture in the mouth from getting on the handle 1 and causing inconvenience during the cleaning process.

[0027] See Figure 1 The handle 1 has vertical grooves 2 in the middle of both the front and back sides, which allows the user's fingers to fit and hold the handle 1 more naturally. Especially during long-term use, it can reduce hand fatigue. The edge of the handle 1 and the groove 2 are provided with anti-slip textures to increase the friction of the handle surface and prevent the cleaner from slipping due to wet or slippery hands during use.

[0028] The working principle is as follows:

[0029] The user holds the handle 1, using the grooves 2 on the handle 1 and the anti-slip texture on the edges and grooves 2 to hold the cleaner stably and comfortably. The curved design of the connecting neck 3 allows for flexible adjustment of the cleaning head 4's angle and position within the mouth, better adapting to different areas. When the cleaning head 4 is placed in the mouth and comes into contact with the tongue, the first scraper 6, with its raised curved structure, fits tightly against the tongue. The densely packed, small-diameter bristles 12 in the first cleaning zone 9 gently comb the tongue, removing loose dirt and impurities from the surface. Then, the second cleaning zones 10 on both sides... The third cleaning zone 11 performs further cleaning work according to the characteristics of the bristles 12, achieving a transition from fine to relatively strong cleaning, effectively removing tongue coating dirt of different degrees. Then, the wavy silicone 13 on the second scraper 7 uses its special shape and the softness and elasticity of the silicone material to further scrape off the residual mucus and more stubborn dirt on the tongue coating. The third scraper 8 on the top of the cleaning head 4 scrapes off the residue after cleaning, ensuring a thorough cleaning of the tongue surface, thus solving the problem that existing tongue cleaning devices cannot target the more difficult-to-clean areas such as the top and edges of the tongue coating.

[0030] After cleaning, the cleaning head 4 can be flipped over, and the semi-circular massage head 14 can be placed on the tongue to massage the tongue, stimulate the nerve endings and blood circulation, and promote oral health. The sponge that connects the neck 3 and the lower part of the cleaning head 4 absorbs saliva in the mouth and acts as a buffer during the movement of the cleaning head to prevent damage to the oral mucosa.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
