Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a tongue cleaning device for oral care. Background Technology

[0002] Tongue coating is a moss-like substance covering the surface of the tongue, composed of a mixture of keratinized epithelium, saliva, bacteria, food debris, etc. A normal tongue coating is thin, white, and moist, evenly spread across the tongue surface, slightly thicker at the base, and moderately moist.

[0003] In Western medicine, abnormal tongue coating is also associated with a variety of diseases. Local oral conditions such as candidiasis and lichen planus, as well as systemic diseases like digestive disorders and endocrine imbalances, can all cause changes in tongue coating. Paying attention to your tongue coating daily can help you detect potential health problems early.

[0004] The tongue needs cleaning for several reasons: First, food debris easily remains on the tongue, providing a breeding ground for bacteria. Failure to clean it can lead to oral problems such as tooth decay and periodontitis. Second, bacteria breaking down food debris produces unpleasant odors, causing bad breath, which affects social interactions and personal image. Third, cleaning the tongue leaves it feeling refreshed, helping taste receptors function better and improving taste sensitivity. Finally, a clean tongue makes it easier for doctors to observe its condition, providing accurate diagnostic information and facilitating the early detection of potential health problems.

[0005] However, existing tongue cleaning devices are usually simple handheld tongue scrapers with limited functions. They do not have a liquid spraying function and can only be cleaned by manually scraping the tongue, which is inefficient.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to provide a tongue cleaning device for oral care to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0037] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, an oral care tongue cleaning device includes: a housing 1, a brush plate 2, a transmission mechanism 3, a drive component 4, an injection tube 5, a storage tank 6, and a tongue scraper 7. The housing 1 is the structure used to house the pipes and the transmission mechanism in this device. The brush plate 2 rotates to drive the brush to rotate, thereby performing the operation of brushing the tongue. The drive component 4 is the structure that provides power for the rotation of the brush, and the rotational motion output by the drive component 4 is converted into the rotation of the brush plate 2 through the transmission mechanism 3. The injection tube 5 is the structure that injects liquid into the oral cavity, especially onto the tongue, to achieve a cleaning effect in conjunction with the rotation of the brush. The storage tank 6 is the structure that stores the cleaning liquid, which reaches the injection tube 5 through a connecting tube 502 and flows onto the patient's tongue through a spray nozzle 501.

[0040] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 3 is installed inside the housing 1, including a transmission chain 302 and two transmission wheels 301. One transmission wheel 301 is fixedly connected to the brush plate 2, and the other transmission wheel 301 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive member 4. The drive member 4 outputs rotational motion, which is converted into the rotation of the brush plate 2 through the transmission chain and the transmission wheels. The drive member 4 is fixedly installed at one end of the housing 1. The scraper 7 is sleeved on the other end of the housing 1. The transmission mechanism 3 is a co-directional transmission mechanism, and its function is to transmit the output of the drive member 4 to the brush plate 2. Since it is a co-directional transmission mechanism, both belt drive and chain drive can achieve the corresponding function. However, due to the limitations of the size and weight of this device, chain drive is preferred. To improve the comfort of use, vibration and noise need to be strictly controlled. When it is a chain drive, the transmission wheel 301 is a sprocket, and the transmission chain 302 is a chain. When it is a belt drive, the transmission wheel 301 is a pulley, and the transmission chain 302 is a belt.

[0041] In this embodiment, the injection pipe 5 is an annular pipe with several downward-opening spray nozzles 501; the spray nozzles 501 are arranged circumferentially and surround the outer periphery of the brush plate 2; the upper part of the injection pipe is connected to the storage tank 6 through a connecting pipe 502; the injection pipe 5 has an annular structure to expand the spray area while avoiding interference with the brush plate 2, so as not to affect each other's rotation; the connecting pipe 502 needs to be placed inside the housing 1 and kept in a relatively stable position. It can be fixed by using a U-shaped elastic bracket, or by using an arc-shaped clip, or it can be set as an integral structure with the housing, but a good seal should be maintained;

[0042] In this embodiment, the brush plate 2 includes a brush and a circular plate 201; the circular plate 201 is a plate in a horizontal plane, and its upper surface is fixedly connected to a transmission wheel 301 and is driven by the transmission wheel 301 to rotate; the brush covers the lower surface of the circular plate 201.

[0043] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 502 passes through the housing 1 from bottom to top, and at the other end of the housing 1 passes through the housing 1 from top to bottom, with the end extending into the bottom of the liquid storage tank 6; the liquid storage tank 6 is threadedly connected to the housing.

[0044] In this embodiment, a flip-top cover 101 is rotatably connected to the top of the housing 1; the inner surface of the cover 101 is a mirror 102; the fixing structure of the cover 101 and the housing 1 after flipping and closing is a mature technology in the prior art. In this embodiment, it can be fixed by magnetic attraction or by spring pin. Those skilled in the art can flexibly choose according to the actual situation, and there is no technical difficulty. This embodiment will not elaborate further. Opening the cover 101 facilitates the inspection and replacement of the internal components of the housing 1, and allows for self-observation of the tongue coating cleanliness, similar to the mirror 102, without the need to carry an additional mirror.

[0045] In this embodiment, a liquid pump 503 is installed on the connecting pipe 502; the liquid pump 503 draws liquid from the liquid storage tank 6 and discharges it through the spray nozzle 501; the liquid pump 503 is a miniature pump body. When the liquid pump 503 is large, a notch or opening can be provided in the cover 101 at the position corresponding to the liquid pump 503, without restricting the closing of the cover 101.

[0046] In this embodiment, the tongue scraper 7 is an arc-shaped plate located on the outer periphery of the injection tube 5. The tongue scraper 7 is mainly used when the tongue coating is thick and difficult to clean with a brush. In this case, the tongue scraper 7 scrapes off the coating first and then brushes it.

[0047] In this embodiment, a handle 103 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the housing 1. The handle 103 is located on the side of the housing 1 away from the scraper 7. The handle 103 can integrate the switch or control button of the drive unit 4 and the liquid pump 503, and can also serve as the location of the live charging interface of the battery to provide energy to the drive unit 4 and the liquid pump.

[0048] In this embodiment, the specific usage process of a tongue cleaning device for oral care is as follows:

[0049] After assembling and installing all the components of this device according to the diagram and the above description, close the cover 101 of the housing 1, store the cleaning liquid in the storage tank and screw it onto the housing 1; start the liquid pump 503 and the drive unit 4, insert the brush plate 2 into the oral cavity and place it on the tongue coating, and move the brush plate 2 back and forth by the handle 103 to perform the brushing and scraping operation of the tongue coating.
