Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental cleaning equipment, specifically to a visible electric interdental brush. Background Technology
[0002] Orthodontic patients are those who need orthodontic treatment to adjust the position of their teeth and jaws in order to improve their occlusion, facial aesthetics and oral health. Severe periodontitis is a serious oral disease with symptoms including increased periodontal pocket depth, alveolar bone resorption, gingival recession, loose teeth, halitosis, pain and tooth displacement.
[0003] Whether it's orthodontic patients or patients with severe periodontitis and gingival recession, they need to pay more attention to dental hygiene than normal people. If they use a toothbrush or electric toothbrush, it can only clean the labial and lingual surfaces and occlusal surfaces of the teeth, and cannot reach deep into the interdental spaces. Furthermore, it is difficult for patients to observe food debris in the interdental spaces under direct vision, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and wasting ordinary interdental brushes. In this case, it is necessary to use an interdental brush or electric interdental brush for cleaning.
[0004] Existing Chinese patent 202420174072.7 discloses an electric interdental brush, including a handle, a vibration motor disposed inside the handle, and a brush head connected to the output shaft of the vibration motor. An interdental brush is mounted on the brush head, and a fixing cap is hinged to the top of the brush head. The connecting part of the interdental brush is connected between the fixing cap and the brush head via a fixing mechanism. The fixing cap and the brush head have a fixing hole for the interdental brush to pass through. This invention, by using a fixing cap hinged to the top of the brush head and a fixing mechanism to install the interdental brush onto the brush head, makes replacing the interdental brush more convenient. Simultaneously, users can avoid direct contact with the bristles during replacement, making the replacement process more hygienic.
[0005] While existing technology makes it easier to replace interdental brushes by installing a fixed cap and fixing mechanism at the top of the brush head, and allows users to avoid direct contact with the bristles during replacement, making the replacement process more hygienic, users still cannot observe the cleanliness of their teeth while cleaning, making it impossible to perform targeted cleaning.

[0029] Example
[0030] See Figures 1-10 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is as follows: It includes a control body 5, on which a flushing component 4 and a rotating mechanism 3 are installed. The spray nozzle of the flushing component 4 is located below the rotating mechanism 3. A miniature camera 2 is installed on the top of the rotating mechanism 3. An interdental brush 1 is installed on the face of the rotating mechanism 3. An extension water pipe 6 is provided at the lower end of the control body 5. A water storage cup 7 is installed on the side below the control body 5. The extension water pipe 6 is located in the inner cavity of the water storage cup 7. A control motherboard 8 and a battery 9 are provided inside the control body 5. The control motherboard 8 and the battery 9 are electrically connected.
[0031] More specifically, the interdental brush 1 includes a rectangular insert 13 and an interdental brush body 14, which are connected to each other. The interdental brush body 14 has several bristles, and the end of the rectangular insert 13 has a U-shaped opening 11. The U-shaped opening 11 extends towards the middle of the rectangular insert 13 to form a limiting through hole 12. When it is necessary to install the interdental brush 1, the user only needs to insert the rectangular insert 13 into the interdental brush chamber I. After inserting it partially, the U-shaped opening 11 will abut against the connecting insert 34. At this time, the user only needs to apply a little force to insert the connecting insert 34 from the U-shaped opening 11 into the limiting through hole 12. The limiting through hole 12 locks the connecting insert 34 in place, thereby effectively preventing the interdental brush 1 from falling out of the interdental brush chamber I.
[0032] More specifically, the rectangular insert 13 is tapered inward into an inverted trapezoid on both sides of the U-shaped opening 11, and the rectangular insert 13 is made of elastic silicone. The inverted trapezoidal design on both sides allows for deformation space at the end of the rectangular insert 13 when the connecting insert 34 passes through the U-shaped opening 11, and the elastic silicone material provides sufficient elasticity while also ensuring greater safety and reliability.
[0033] More specifically, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a micro motor 31, which is electrically connected to the control main board 8. A motor rotating shaft 32 is mounted on the output end of the micro motor 31. A connecting end 33 is provided at the front end of the motor rotating shaft 32. An interdental brush insertion chamber I is formed in the central cavity of the connecting end 33, and a connecting post 34 is installed on the inner cavity of the interdental brush insertion chamber I. When the interdental brush 1 is needed for teeth cleaning, the micro motor 31 drives the connecting end 33 to rotate via the motor rotating shaft 32, and the connecting end 33 drives the interdental brush 1, thereby completing the teeth cleaning operation.
[0034] More specifically, the flushing assembly 4 includes a miniature water pump 42, one end of which is provided with a water inlet 43 for connecting its extension water pipe 6, and the other end of which is provided with a water outlet nozzle 41 for flushing.
[0035] More specifically, the control unit 5 is also equipped with an indicator light 501 and a control button 502. Both the indicator light 501 and the control button 502 are electrically connected to the control mainboard 8. The upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the control unit 5, where the battery 9 is installed, are respectively equipped with an upper sealing gasket 504 and a lower sealing gasket 503. The upper and lower sealing gaskets 504 and 503 ensure the waterproof sealing of the battery 9 and the control mainboard 8, thereby extending the safe use of the equipment. The indicator light 501 is used to display the current status of the equipment for user convenience, while the control button 502 facilitates user control of the equipment.
[0036] More specifically, the side of the control unit 5 protrudes outward to form a water tank connecting post 5-1, and the inner side of the upper part of the water storage cup 7 is recessed inward to form a water tank L-shaped groove 7-1. To install the water storage cup 7 onto the control unit 5, the operator only needs to insert the water tank connecting post 5-1 into the water tank L-shaped groove 7-1 and rotate the water storage cup 7 to complete the installation between the control unit 5 and the water storage cup 7.
[0037] More specifically, the control motherboard 8 is electrically connected to its miniature camera 2, miniature motor 31, miniature water pump 42, indicator light 501, and control button 502.
[0038] More specifically, both the battery 9 and the control board 8 have buffer pads on their sides, and a charging port is installed at one end of the battery 9. The buffer pads protect the control board 8 and the battery 9 for safe use, while the charging port facilitates charging the battery 9 for the user. Example
[0039] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the water storage cup 7 is a foldable water cup. A foldable water cup is easier to store and transport, making it more convenient for users to carry around and increasing user convenience.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the user simply installs the interdental brush 1 at the rotating mechanism 3. During installation, the user inserts the rectangular insert 13 into the interdental brush chamber I. After partial insertion, the U-shaped opening 11 abuts against the connecting insert 34. At this point, the user applies a little more force to insert the connecting insert 34 from the U-shaped opening 11 into the limiting through hole 12. The limiting through hole 12 engages the connecting insert 34, effectively preventing the interdental brush 1 from falling out of the interdental brush chamber I. The extension water pipe 6 is then installed at the water inlet 43. After filling the water storage cup 7 with water, it can be installed on the control body 5. During use, the user simply activates the rotating mechanism 3 via the control button 502, which drives the interdental brush 1 to a certain depth. The interdental brush 1 cleans the user's teeth by rotating at a certain speed. During cleaning, the user can also observe the oral cavity cleaning status through the miniature camera 2. The miniature camera 2 can transmit the acquired image information to an external device through the control motherboard 8. The user can view the image information acquired by the miniature camera 2 through the external device. The image information transmission methods include Bluetooth and WLAN. After the user has cleaned for a period of time, the user can activate the flushing component 4 again through the control button 502 to flush the oral cavity and reduce the frequency of rinsing. When the user needs to replace the interdental brush 1, he / she only needs to grasp the interdental brush body 14 and apply a certain force to pull out the rectangular insert 13 from the interdental brush insertion chamber I, so as to facilitate the user to replace the new interdental brush 1.
[0041] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
