Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oral care products, specifically an oral care stick. Background Technology

[0002] Oral care is crucial in both daily life and medical care. Traditional oral care tools have limited functions; for example, ordinary toothbrushes can only perform simple cleaning and cannot meet the diverse care needs of special populations (such as patients after oral surgery, bedridden patients, etc.).

[0003] For example, the patent with publication number CN213308084U discloses a new type of oral care stick, which includes a thin stick, a thick stick, a positioning mechanism, a groove, a pin, and a spring. This avoids the problem of toothbrush head rubbing against the oral cavity wall when wiping blood, phlegm, or saliva residue in the mouth with cotton balls, causing discomfort to the patient. It has obvious beneficial effects and is suitable for promotion.

[0004] The aforementioned patented oral care stick, due to the fixed connection between the cotton ball and the thin stick, and the fixed connection between the toothbrush head and the thick stick, makes it inconvenient to replace the cotton ball and toothbrush head. In actual use, the cotton ball may need to be replaced due to frequent use, while the toothbrush head may not have been used yet. However, for hygiene requirements, the entire oral care stick must be replaced, thus increasing the cost of using the stick. Therefore, there is a need to design an oral care stick to solve the above problems.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an oral care stick, including: a telescopic component 1, the telescopic component 1 including a main sleeve 101 and an auxiliary sleeve 102 that can slide relative to each other, the main sleeve 101 and the auxiliary sleeve 102 achieve relative sliding through a sliding structure to meet the requirements of different oral care scenarios for the length of the care stick.

[0032] Fixing component 2 is installed on the main sleeve 101 and is used to position the auxiliary sleeve 102. After the relative positions of the main sleeve 101 and the auxiliary sleeve 102 are adjusted, the adjusted length is fixed by fixing component 2 to reduce the occurrence of arbitrary changes in the length of the nursing rod during use.

[0033] The cotton ball replacement component 3 is installed at the front end of the auxiliary sleeve 102. The cotton ball replacement component 3 includes a long hook 305 for inserting into the cotton ball body 306, and an adjusting ring 303 connected to the long hook 305 and adjustable in position. The cotton ball replacement component 3 simplifies the installation of cotton balls, eliminating the need for complicated steps and tools, and enabling quick replacement of cotton balls.

[0034] The brush replacement component 4 is installed at the rear end of the main sleeve 101. The brush replacement component 4 includes a brush body 401, which is detachably connected to the main sleeve 101. Through the brush replacement component 4, the brush body 401 can be easily removed for individual cleaning or replacement after use, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of oral care.

[0035] like Figures 2-6 As shown, the cotton ball replacement assembly 3 is connected to the auxiliary sleeve 102 in the telescopic assembly 1 via a connecting rod 104. The connecting rod 104 is fixed to the front end of the auxiliary sleeve 102. An assembly frame 301 is fixed to the front end of the connecting rod 104. A guide rod 302 is fixed inside the assembly frame 301. An adjusting ring 303 is sleeved on the guide rod 302 and can slide along the axial direction of the guide rod 302. A threaded ring 304 is fixed to the rear end of the adjusting ring 303. An internal thread 310 is provided at the rear end of the assembly frame 301. The threaded ring 304 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 310. A clamping sleeve 307 is installed on the inner wall of the front end of the assembly frame 301. The long hook 305 is connected to the adjusting ring 303. During operation, the cotton ball body 306 is first inserted into the front end of the long hook 305. Then, the adjusting ring 303 is rotated through the operation window 309. The adjusting ring 303 drives the threaded ring 304 to move along the guide rod 302, so that the long hook 305 and the cotton ball move closer to the front end of the assembly frame 301. When the threaded ring 304 is screwed into the internal thread 310 at the rear end of the assembly frame 301, the clamping sleeve 307 gradually clamps the cotton ball body 306, applying pressure to the cotton ball from the side and front end, so that the cotton ball is firmly fixed on the long hook 305, which facilitates oral care operations.

[0036] In the brush replacement assembly 4, a connector 403 is provided at the rear end of the main sleeve 101, and the connector 403 is fixedly connected to the main sleeve 101. A shaped block 405 is fixedly connected to the front end of the brush body 401. A threaded sleeve 402 is provided on the brush body 401. A shaped groove 404 is opened at the rear end of the connector 403, and it has a cavity inside. During operation, the threaded sleeve 402 at the front end of the brush body 401 is aligned with the connector 403 at the rear end of the main sleeve 101, so that the shaped block 405 passes through... The shaped groove 404 enters the internal cavity of the connector 403. Then, the brush body 401 is rotated, and the shaped block 405 rotates within the internal cavity of the connector 403. At the same time, the threaded sleeve 402 is threadedly connected to the connector 403, thus enabling the installation of the brush body 401. To disassemble, the brush body 401 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the threaded sleeve 402 to separate from the connector 403. The shaped block 405 then rotates out of the internal cavity of the connector 403, allowing the brush body 401 to be removed for easy brush replacement.

[0037] The fixing seat 201 in the fixing component 2 is fixedly connected to the front end of the main sleeve 101 to ensure a stable connection between the fixing seat 201 and the main sleeve 101. A locking pin 203 is provided inside the fixing seat 201, and a spring 202 is sleeved on the locking pin 203. One end of the spring 202 is connected to the fixing seat 201, and the other end is connected to the adjusting head 204. The auxiliary sleeve 102 can be provided with multiple slots 105 spaced apart along the axial direction. During operation, after the user adjusts the position of the auxiliary sleeve 102 in the main sleeve 101, the adjusting head 204 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring 202, the locking pin 203 moves downward and inserts into the corresponding slot 105 on the auxiliary sleeve 102, thereby fixing the position of the auxiliary sleeve 102 and ensuring that the length of the nursing rod is stable during use and will not extend or retract arbitrarily due to external force.

[0038] The telescopic component 1 consists of a main sleeve 101 and an auxiliary sleeve 102. The main sleeve 101 and the auxiliary sleeve 102 are slidably connected, that is, the auxiliary sleeve 102 can slide relative to the main sleeve 101. Its working principle is that when it is necessary to adjust the length of the oral care stick, the user manually pulls the auxiliary sleeve 102 to make it slide within the main sleeve 101, thereby changing the overall length of the care stick to adapt to the needs of different oral care scenarios.

[0039] For example, when caring for patients after oral surgery, a shorter nursing stick may be needed for more precise operation, while for normal oral cleaning, a longer nursing stick may be easier to hold and use. The outer wall of the main sleeve 101 is equipped with an anti-slip sleeve 103 to increase the friction when the user holds the nursing stick and prevent the nursing stick from slipping during use.

[0040] Working principle: First, according to the actual needs of oral care, the length of the nursing stick is adjusted by sliding the auxiliary sleeve 102 inside the main sleeve 101. After adjustment, the adjusting head 204 is released so that the locking pin 203 is engaged in the corresponding slot 105 on the auxiliary sleeve 102 to fix the position of the auxiliary sleeve 102.

[0041] If cotton balls are needed for care, select a suitable cotton ball and insert the cotton ball body 306 steadily into the front end of the long hook 305, ensuring stable insertion. At this time, hold the assembly frame 301 and pinch the adjusting ring 303 with your thumb, so that the adjusting ring 303 drives the threaded ring 304 to move along the guide rod 302 toward the internal thread 310 at the rear end of the assembly frame 301. Then, the long hook 305 and the cotton ball move closer to the front end of the assembly frame 301. At this time, the adjusting ring 303 will reach the internal thread 310 that mates with the assembly frame 301. Then, rotate the adjusting ring 303 to rotate the threaded ring 304 into the interior of the assembly frame 301. During this process, the clamping sleeve 307 installed on the inner wall of the front end of the assembly frame 301 will gradually press the cotton ball body 306, applying pressure to the cotton ball from the side. At the same time, part of the cotton ball will also be stuck inside the assembly frame 301, thus making the cotton ball more firmly fixed on the long hook 305, ensuring that it will not easily fall off or shift during subsequent oral care operations.

[0042] If a brush is needed for oral care, align the threaded sleeve 402 at the front end of the brush body 401 with the connector 403 at the rear end of the main sleeve 101, and allow the shaped block 405 to enter the internal cavity of the connector 403 through the shaped groove 404. Rotate the brush body 401, at which point the shaped block 405 will rotate inside the cavity of the connector 403, and the threaded sleeve 402 will also engage with the connector 403, thus completing the connection of the brush body 401. Then, use the brush for oral cleaning. During the entire process, the telescopic component 1 allows for adjustment of the length of the care stick, the fixing component 2 ensures the stability of the length, the cotton ball replacement component 3 facilitates the replacement and fixing of the cotton ball, and the brush replacement component 4 facilitates the replacement of the brush. All components work together to improve the effectiveness and convenience of oral care.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
