[0010] In the above technical solution, the preferred number of bearings is four or more.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the arrangement of multiple bearings can provide radial limiting effect on the drive shaft, thereby increasing the stability of the drive shaft.
[0012] In a further technical solution, the drive shaft consists of a front part and a rear part, the diameter of the rear part is larger than the diameter of the front part, the bearing is disposed in the front part, and the inner ring diameter of the bearing matches the diameter of the front part.
[0013] In a further technical solution, the housing is provided with multiple bearing grooves, which are spaced apart, and the bearing is fixedly installed in the bearing grooves.
[0014] In a further technical solution, the housing is provided with a drive shaft groove for placing the drive shaft, and the diameter of the drive shaft groove is smaller than that of the bearing groove.
[0015] In the above technical solution, the spacing of multiple bearing slots can increase the radial limiting effect of the drive shaft; the diameter difference between the drive bearing and the bearing slot can limit the axial movement of the drive shaft, making the drive shaft more stable during operation.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the housing is provided with a limiting notch that mates with a dental handpiece.
[0017] In the above technical solution, the limiting notch is used to assist in the connection between the universal toothbrush bend connector and the dental handpiece.
