Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral care technology, and in particular to a toothbrush. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times, more and more people are paying attention to oral hygiene. Good oral hygiene is not only an important part of personal image, but also a key link in physical health.

[0003] To ensure oral hygiene, in addition to daily brushing, a dental flosser is used to clean the gingival sulcus and gaps between teeth.

[0004] Current toothbrushes typically only come with one brush head. If you need to replace the brush head, you need to carry other brush heads and a toolbox to store them. This can cause inconvenience when using other brush heads and lead to clutter when storing multiple toolboxes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a toothbrush that solves the problems of convenience in taking out other brush heads and neatness in placing them during use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a toothbrush, including a toothbrush assembly, a housing, a water supply assembly, a connecting pipe, and a storage assembly.

[0007] The water supply component is located inside the housing and is connected to the toothbrush component; the storage component is located outside the housing; the housing is made of magnetic material, and a magnetic suction element is provided on one end of the storage component, allowing the storage component to be placed in any position within the housing.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this toothbrush are as follows: The toothbrush provided by this utility model has a storage component that can store various brush heads or other tools. At the same time, by using a shell made of magnetic material and providing a magnetic suction element on the storage component, the storage component can be placed at any position on the shell according to the positional needs during use, further realizing the convenience of taking out the required brush head or other tools from the storage component during the use of the toothbrush.

[0009] In some embodiments, the storage assembly further includes a storage slot and a connector. The connector connects the magnetic element and the storage slot. The vertical length of the connector is less than the vertical lengths of the magnetic element and the storage slot. The cross-section formed by the sequentially connected magnetic element, connector, and storage slot is an I-shaped cross-section with a central concave section. Thus, the connector located between the storage slot and the magnetic element is a concave portion, with the magnetic element and storage slot at both ends. The connecting tube can be wound around this concave portion, meaning the connecting tube can be wound around the outside of the connector. This arrangement more effectively utilizes existing space for storage, and because it is housed inside the toothbrush, it also facilitates organization.

[0010] In some embodiments, one side of the housing is recessed inward to form a first mounting portion, and the storage component is embedded in the first mounting portion. This reduces the overall space occupied, and the installation method where the storage component and the first mounting portion are interlocked also appears neater and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0011] In some embodiments, the toothbrush assembly includes a brush head and a first handle, the brush head having a first water outlet, the first handle having a hollow structure, and the first handle being connected to the water supply assembly via a connecting pipe.

[0012] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a second mounting part, the connecting pipe is installed at the second mounting part, the water supply component is provided with a second water outlet, the second water outlet is installed at the second mounting part and communicates with the connecting pipe through the second mounting part.

[0013] In some embodiments, the toothbrush also includes a retractable support, which is located on the upper part of the housing. The support includes two first support members and a crossbar disposed between the two first support members. Thus, the support can hold replacement brush heads, and when needed, the support can also serve as a handle for moving the toothbrush, making it easy to carry.

[0014] In some embodiments, a mounting groove is formed on one end of the crossbar, and a mounting component is disposed within the mounting groove. The mounting component is movable along the depth of the mounting groove, and a mounting opening is provided on the mounting component for mounting the toothbrush assembly. Thus, by providing a movable mounting component and a mounting opening on it, the toothbrush assembly can be snapped into place on the mounting opening of the mounting component. By providing a location for storing the toothbrush assembly, the brush head does not come into contact with other devices during use, ensuring the cleanliness of the brush head and also regulating user behavior.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mounting component is further provided with a second grip, which is located at the end of the mounting component away from the bottom of the mounting groove. Therefore, by providing the second grip, the user can move the mounting component by grasping the second grip, making it more convenient for the user to move the mounting component.

[0016] In some embodiments, the mounting component is further provided with a limiting part, which is located at the bottom of the mounting component and on the side facing the protruding direction of the mounting opening. Therefore, when the toothbrush assembly is installed on the mounting opening, the limiting part prevents the toothbrush assembly from tilting outwards, allowing the toothbrush assembly to be more securely installed on the mounting component, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the brush head.

[0017] In some embodiments, the toothbrush also includes a base located at the bottom of the housing. The base is height-adjustable and includes a second support member and a base plate disposed at the bottom of the second support member. The second support member is vertically extendable. Therefore, by activating the height-adjustable base, the height of this invention can be further adjusted to a height convenient for the user, reducing the impact of the usage environment and thus expanding its application range. Simultaneously, the base plate provides more stable support for the housing and components disposed inside and outside the housing. Attached Figure Description

[0038] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this is the toothbrush 100 of this utility model.

[0039] Figure 1 The toothbrush 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. The toothbrush 100 includes a brushing component 1, a housing 2, a storage component 5, a water supply component 3, a connecting pipe 4, a bracket 6, and a base 7.

[0040] The water supply component 3 is located inside the housing 2, the storage component 5 is located outside the housing 2, the bracket 6 is located on the upper part of the housing 2, the base 7 is located on the bottom of the housing 2, and the connecting pipe 4 connects the toothbrush component 1 and the water supply component 3.

[0041] Specifically, the housing 2 is made of magnetic material, and a magnetic suction element 51 is provided on one side of the storage component 5. This allows the storage component 5 to be installed at any position on the housing 2 via its magnetic suction element 51. For example, during use, the storage component 5 can be magnetically attached to the top of the housing 2 for easy access to tools, replacement of brush heads 11, etc. Preferably, the magnetic material used in the housing 2 is iron, cobalt, nickel, stainless steel, etc. The storage component 5 can store various tools needed, such as replacement brush heads 11 of the same type, other types of brush heads 11, disinfection tools, cleaning tools, etc.

[0042] Specifically, the water supply assembly 3 includes a water tank and a drive unit. Optionally, the drive unit can be a negative pressure water pump. Water in the water tank flows out of the water supply assembly 3 under the driving action of the drive unit, and then flows into the toothbrush assembly 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 5 further includes a storage slot 53 and a connector 52.

[0044] See Figure 3 As shown, the connector 52 connects the magnetic suction member 51 to the storage slot 53. The connector 52 can be a columnar structure, with its two ends connected to the magnetic suction member 51 and the storage slot 53, respectively. Without the connector 52, the magnetic suction member 51 might attract tools from the storage slot 53. Preferably, the connector 52 and the storage slot 53 are integrally formed. Optionally, the magnetic suction member 51, the connector 52, and the storage slot 53 can be integrally formed. The storage slot 53 can have multiple compartments for storing different types of tools.

[0045] Specifically, the length of the connector 52 in the vertical direction is less than the length of the magnetic 51 and the storage slot 53 in the vertical direction, and the cross-section formed by the magnetic 51, connector 52 and storage slot 53 connected in sequence is an I-shaped cross-section with a concave center.

[0046] That is, the connector 52 is a recessed part, and the magnetic suction part 51 and the storage groove 53 at both ends of the connector 52 are protruding. When in use, the longer connecting tube 4 or the excess connecting tube 4 can be wrapped around the connector 52 to achieve a neat and orderly use environment.

[0047] See Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, one side of the housing 2 is recessed inward to form a first mounting portion 21, and the storage component 5 is inlayably mounted at the first mounting portion 21.

[0048] Specifically, the shape of the storage component 5 matches the shape of the first mounting portion 21 of the housing 2. The storage component 5 can be embedded in the first mounting portion 21, so that the storage component 5 and the housing 2 form an integral whole. Preferably, the integral whole formed by the storage component 5 and the housing 2 is cuboid in shape. When the storage component 5 is not needed, it can be installed in the first mounting portion 21. At this time, the tools in the storage slot 53 can be sealed and stored, preventing external contamination and ensuring the hygiene of the tools.

[0049] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the toothbrush assembly 1 includes a brush head 11 and a first handle 12. The brush head 11 has multiple first water outlets 111, and the first handle 12 has a hollow structure. The first handle is connected to the water supply assembly through a connecting pipe 4. Water from the water supply assembly 3 flows through the connecting pipe 4 to the first handle 12 of the toothbrush assembly 1. Because the first handle 12 has a hollow structure, the water continues to flow through it to the first water outlets 111 of the brush head 11, and the water flows out from the first water outlets 111 to the user's mouth or other places where water is needed.

[0050] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 2 is provided with a second mounting part 22, the connecting pipe 4 is installed at the second mounting part 22, and the water supply component 3 is provided with a second water outlet 31, which is installed at the second mounting part 22 and communicates with the connecting pipe 4 through the second mounting part 22.

[0051] Optionally, the second mounting part 22 is a mounting hole. One end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the second outlet 31 of the water supply component 3 through this mounting hole, so that water from the water supply component 3 flows from the second outlet 31 into the connecting pipe 4.

[0052] That is, one side of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the water supply assembly 3, and the other side is connected to the bottom of the first handle 12. Then, the water in the water tank of the water supply assembly flows out from the second outlet 31 under the driving action of the driving component in the water supply assembly, flows through the second mounting part 22 into the connecting pipe 4, and then flows sequentially to the first handle 12 and the brush head 11 of the toothbrush assembly 1.

[0053] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the toothbrush 100 is also provided with a retractable bracket 6, which is disposed on the upper part of the housing 2. The bracket 6 includes two first support members 61 and a crossbar 62 disposed between the two first support members 61.

[0054] Specifically, one end of the crossbar 62 extends inward to form a mounting groove 621, within which a mounting member 622 is disposed. The mounting member 622 can move bidirectionally along the depth direction of the mounting groove 621. Optionally, the mounting member 622 is plate-shaped. The height of the mounting member 622 is less than or equal to the width of the mounting groove 621, and the length of the mounting member 622 can be set according to the user's actual usage needs. The user moves the mounting member 622 by pulling it out; when needed, the mounting member 622 can be pulled out, and when not needed, it can be pushed back in.

[0055] The mounting member 622 is provided with a mounting opening 623, which can be used to install the toothbrush assembly 1. Preferably, the mounting member 622 is made of an elastic material. When the mounting member 622 is made of an elastic material, the size of the mounting opening 623 can be slightly smaller than the radial dimension of the first gripping portion 12 of the toothbrush assembly 1, so that the toothbrush assembly 1 can be securely engaged and installed at the mounting opening 623.

[0056] Preferably, the mounting member 622 is further provided with a second gripping part 624, which is located at the end of the mounting member 622 away from the bottom of the mounting groove 621.

[0057] Specifically, the second gripping part 624 protrudes from the mounting member 622. Optionally, the second gripping part 624 can be located on the upper part, lower part, or outer ring wall of the mounting member 622. The user can more easily adjust the position of the mounting member 622 by gripping the second gripping part 624.

[0058] In some embodiments, the mounting member 622 is further provided with a limiting portion 625, which is located at the bottom of the mounting member 622 and on the side facing the protruding direction of the mounting opening 623. When the toothbrush assembly 1 is mounted on the mounting opening 623, the limiting portion 625 can prevent the toothbrush assembly 1 from tilting outward.

[0059] If the first gripping part 12 of the toothbrush assembly 1 is tubular, the part of the limiting part 625 that contacts it can be an arc-shaped groove that matches its shape. In this way, the limiting part 625 can clamp and lock the first gripping part 12.

[0060] See Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the toothbrush 100 further includes a base 7, which is disposed at the bottom of the housing 2. The base 7 is a height-adjustable base 7. Specifically, the height-adjustable base 7 consists of a second support member 71 and a base plate 72 disposed at the bottom of the second support member 71. The second support member 71 can extend and retract in the vertical direction.

[0061] Specifically, the second support member 71 is located at the bottom of the housing 2, meaning that the top of the second support member 71 is connected to the bottom of the housing 2. Optionally, the second support member 71 can be a column, and the number of second support members 71 can be two or more. When the bottom surface of the housing 2 is rectangular, the number of second support members 71 can be four, placed at the four vertices of the bottom surface of the housing 2. This arrangement can distribute the pressure transmitted to the second support member 71 by the housing 2, the water supply component 3, and the storage component 5, thus reducing the pressure on the second support member 71 and extending its service life.

[0062] Specifically, the base plate 72 is located at the bottom of the second support member 71. The base plate 72 increases the contact area with the ground, tabletop, or other placement platforms, reduces the pressure of this application, and improves the overall stability.

[0063] The working process of this utility model is as follows: the storage component 5 is placed on the housing 2 in a convenient position, and the two ends of the connecting pipe 4 are respectively connected to the second mounting part 22 of the housing 2 and the bottom of the first handle part 12 of the toothbrush component 1. The water supply component 3 is turned on, and the water from the water supply component 3 flows out from the second outlet 31 into the connecting pipe 4, then flows from the connecting pipe 4 into the toothbrush component 1, and then flows from the first handle part 12 of the toothbrush component 1 to the brush head 11, and flows out from the first outlet 111 of the brush head 11 to the place where it is needed.

[0064] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a toothbrush 100, which, by providing a storage component 5, can store various brush heads 11 or other tools. At the same time, by providing a housing 2 made of magnetic material and a magnetic suction element 51 on the storage component 5, the storage component 5 can be placed at any position on the housing 2 as needed, further realizing the convenience of taking out other brush heads or other tools from the storage component 5 during the use of the toothbrush 100.

[0065] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
