[0020] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] A toothbrush bristle bending strength testing device includes a frame 1, a pressing mechanism 2 disposed on the frame 1, and a mounting mechanism 3 disposed on the frame 1.

[0024] The pressing mechanism 2 includes a pressing cylinder 21, a pressing head 22 disposed on the output end of the pressing cylinder 21, and an adjusting component 23 for adjusting the distance between the pressing head 22 and the mounting mechanism 3.

[0025] The mounting mechanism 3 includes a base 31, a positioning groove 32 disposed on the base 31 for placing the toothbrush, and a fixing component 33 disposed on the base 31 for pressing the toothbrush onto the base 31.

[0026] When the pressing cylinder 21 is working, it drives the pressing head 22 to press down repeatedly onto the bristles of the toothbrush.

[0027] This invention provides a toothbrush bristle bending strength testing device. The toothbrush is placed in a positioning groove and fixed with a fixing component so that the bristles face upwards. The height of the pressing head is then adjusted by an adjusting component, so that when the pressing cylinder operates, the pressing head presses against the bristles. By continuously pressing the bristles, the bending strength of the bristles is tested.

[0028] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the base 31 includes a top surface 311 and a cavity 312 recessed from the top surface 311. The positioning groove 32 is disposed on the top surface 311 and communicates with the cavity 312. The fixing component 33 presses the toothbrush so that the brush head is located on the positioning groove 32, or the brush head is suspended in the cavity 312. When the brush head is suspended, the bristles will bend under force, simulating the environment of brushing teeth with a handheld toothbrush, and the bending of the bristles can be tested. When the brush head is on the positioning groove, the bristles can be tested directly.

[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the fixing component 33 includes a connector 331 disposed on the base 31, a pressure plate 332 covering the positioning groove 32, and a compression spring 333 disposed between the pressure plate 332 and the connector 331. The connector 331 passes through the pressure plate 332, allowing the pressure plate 332 to slide relative to the connector 331. This allows the toothbrush to be fixed in place. Because the pressure applied by the lower pressure head to the bristles is not very high in a simulated brushing situation, the toothbrush can be fixed under the action of the compression spring.

[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the positioning groove 32 penetrates the top surface 311, and the positioning groove 32 is at least partially exposed outside the pressure plate 332. This facilitates direct testing of the brush bristles.

[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, a moving mechanism 4 is provided between the frame 1 and the mounting mechanism 3. The moving mechanism 4 allows the base 31 to move the toothbrush so that the bristles align with the lower pressure head 22. This allows for the adaptation to toothbrushes of different models and lengths.

[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the moving mechanism 4 includes a slide rail 41 disposed on the frame 1 and a slider 42 cooperating with the slide rail 41, and the base 31 is disposed on the slider 42.

[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the adjustment assembly 23 includes an adjustment seat 231, a guide post 232 hinged to the adjustment seat 231, and a sleeve post 233 threadedly connected to the guide post 232 on the frame 1. Rotating the guide post allows the adjustment seat to rise or fall. A pressure cylinder is mounted on the adjustment seat.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the positioning groove 32 includes a semi-circular groove bottom 321 and arc-shaped surfaces 322 extending from both sides of the groove bottom 321 to the top surface 311. This is suitable for toothbrush handles of different shapes.

[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the connector 331 is threadedly connected to the base 31 to adjust the insertion depth of the connector 331, thereby adjusting the pressure of the compression spring 333 on the pressure plate 332.

[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the pressure plate 332 is provided with a silicone pressure pad 5 facing the positioning groove 32, which better fits the toothbrush handle.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this application. Any other embodiments whose principles and basic structures are the same as or similar to those of this application are within the protection scope of this application.
