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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of an automatic toothbrush head processing device, comprising a housing 1, an opening 2 at one end of the housing 1, a first drive motor 3 on one side of the housing 1, the first drive motor 3 being a YE3 series model, multiple sets of rotating rods 7 being sleeved on both sides inside the housing 1, and each set of rotating rods 7 having a sprocket 5 and a cam 8 on the outer side, one rotating rod 7 being connected to the output end of the first drive motor 3, and a chain belt 4 for transmission cooperation being provided on the outer side of the multiple sets of sprockets 5 on the same side;

[0025] The outer sides of the two chain belts 4 are provided with mounting rods 9, and the outer sides of the two mounting rods 9 are respectively fitted with sleeve blocks 10 and springs 13. A brush head placement platform 11 is connected between the two sleeve blocks 10, and multiple placement slots 12 are opened on the inner side of the brush head placement platform 11. The top of the box 1 is provided with a cleaning and sterilization mechanism 6. The output end of the first drive motor 3 is connected to a set of rotating rods 7. Each set of rotating rods 7 is provided with two sprockets 5 and two cams 8 on the outer side, which facilitates the conveying and movement of the chain belt 4 through the driven transmission of the sprockets 5, and facilitates the contact between the rotation of the cams 8 and the brush head placement platform 11 to force it to vibrate.

[0026] Multiple sets of mounting rods 9 and sleeve blocks 10 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the chain belt 4. Each set of mounting rods 9 has a limiting plate at the top to prevent the sleeve blocks 10 from detaching from the outer side of the mounting rods 9.

[0027] The cleaning and sterilization mechanism 6 includes a guide channel 601 and a second drive motor 602. The second drive motor 602 is located on the top of the housing 1. The second drive motor 602 is a YE3 series model. There are two sets of guide channels 601. The two guide channels 601 are located on the top inside the housing 1. The inner side of the two guide channels 601 is provided with guide blocks. The bottom of the guide blocks is connected to a mounting plate 603. The bottom of the mounting plate 603 is provided with a liquid guide pipe 604, and the bottom of the liquid guide pipe 604 is connected to a nozzle.

[0028] The output end of the second drive motor 602 is provided with an incomplete gear 605. The top of the mounting plate 603 is provided with an internal gear ring 606, which meshes with the incomplete gear 605. One end of the mounting plate 603 is connected to a connecting plate 607, and the bottom of the connecting plate 607 is provided with a sterilization lamp 608. The bottom of the drying chamber inside the box 1 is provided with a receiving groove, which is perpendicular to the tail end of the chain belt 4, making it convenient to collect the toothbrush heads that fall vertically downward from the tail end of the chain belt 4.

[0029] Example 1, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the brush head placement platform 11 has a through hole inside, and the through hole is connected to the placement groove 12. Through the connection between the placement groove 12 and the through hole, it is easy to place the brush head in the groove of the placement groove 12, while the toothbrush handle passes through the through hole vertically, thereby fixing the brush head in the placement groove 12. At this time, the brush head can be rinsed and sterilized, improving the stability of the brush head treatment.

[0030] Example 2, as Figure 1-3 As shown, the interior of the housing 1 includes a cleaning chamber and a sterilization chamber. The bottom of the cleaning chamber inside the housing 1 is provided with a liquid receiving tank, and the top of the inner side of the liquid receiving tank is provided with a filter screen. By integrating the cleaning chamber and the sterilization chamber inside the housing 1, it is convenient to process the brush heads simultaneously. This allows multiple sets of brush heads to be processed simultaneously using the transmission and movement of the chain belt 4, greatly improving the processing efficiency of the brush heads.

[0031] Working principle: This toothbrush head automatic processing device;

[0032] By setting up a cleaning chamber and a sterilization chamber inside the housing 1, and starting a set of rotating rods 7 of the first drive motor 3 to drive the sprockets 5 to rotate, the chain belt 4 drives multiple sets of brush head placement platforms 11 to be transported under the transmission cooperation of multiple sets of sprockets 5. When a set of brush head placement platforms 11 is transported to the outside of the housing 1, the brush head can be placed into the placement slot 12 for assembly. Then, with the transport of the chain belt 4, the brush head in the brush head placement platform 11 is guided into the housing 1 and passes through the cleaning chamber and sterilization chamber in sequence.

[0033] When the brush heads in the brush head placement platform 11 pass through the cleaning chamber, the external pipe connects to the liquid guide pipe 604, causing water to spray out from the nozzle of the liquid guide pipe 604, thereby rinsing the passing brush heads. The second drive motor 602 is started to drive the incomplete gear 605 to rotate, causing the incomplete gear 605 to mesh with the internal gear ring 606 structure, so that the incomplete gear 605 drives the mounting plate 603 to move intermittently under the guidance of the guide groove 601, increasing the contact surface between the rinsing structure and the brush head, and enhancing the cleaning effect. When the brush heads in the brush head placement platform 11 pass through the sterilization chamber, the sterilization lamp 608 is started to sterilize the brush heads.

[0034] When the brush head is being rinsed and sterilized, the rotation of multiple sets of rotating rods 7 drives the cam 8 to rotate synchronously, so that the cam 8 intermittently contacts the brush head placement platform 11, causing the brush head placement platform 11 to move the sleeve block 10 to extend and retract outside the mounting rod 9. The spring 13 is used to reset it, thereby lifting the brush head in the brush head placement platform 11 and generating vibration, which improves the brush head cleaning and sterilization efficiency. When the chain belt 4 carries the brush head of the brush head placement platform 11 to the end, the brush head can be vertically downward, and then the lifting structure of the cam 8 automatically causes the brush head and toothbrush body to detach, so as to automatically pick up the processed brush head, greatly improving the automated processing efficiency of toothbrush heads.
