Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toothbrushes, specifically, it relates to a self-controlled integrated plaque detection toothbrush. Background Technology

[0002] The dangers of dental plaque: Dental plaque is a bacterial biofilm that adheres to the surface of teeth and is a major culprit in causing oral diseases such as tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Daily brushing is the primary means of removing dental plaque.

[0003] Traditional toothbrushes: These only provide mechanical cleaning, making it difficult for users to visually assess brushing effectiveness and determine whether plaque has been effectively removed, especially in hard-to-observe areas (such as between teeth, below the gum line, and back teeth). Smart toothbrushes (existing): Most existing smart toothbrushes focus on recording brushing time, pressure, and coverage area, or using cameras for visual observation (e.g., a camera integrated into the toothbrush handle), but lack the ability to effectively, conveniently, and in real-time detect plaque itself. Camera-based solutions typically require complex optical systems and additional display devices (such as mobile apps), resulting in high costs, inconvenient operation, and poor imaging quality in a moist oral environment.

[0004] Professional detection method: Dentists typically use plaque revealing agents (stains) to indicate the location of dental plaque. While effective, this method requires additional equipment and involves applying the stain, making it unsuitable for everyday home use and inconvenient to operate.

[0005] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a self-controlled integrated plaque detection toothbrush, including: a brush head 1, a brush handle 3, a connecting tube 7 and a tail cap 6. The brush head 1 is provided with a flow cavity 11, and a plurality of liquid outlet holes 12 communicating with the flow cavity 11 are opened on one side of the brush head 1.

[0029] The brush handle 3 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 8, and a hose 10 is connected to one side of the liquid storage chamber 8. A flow controller 2 that cooperates with the hose 10 is provided on the brush handle 3. A rubber stopper 4 is slidably fitted inside the liquid storage chamber 8. The liquid storage chamber 8 is used to store dye, and the rubber stopper 4 is used to seal the cavity to form air compression.

[0030] The connecting cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the brush handle 3 and the brush head 1, and the connecting cylinder 7 is connected to the hose 10 and the flow cavity 11;

[0031] A spring 5 is fixedly connected between the tail cap 6 and the rubber stopper 4, and a fastener 13 is provided between the tail cap 6 and the brush handle 3. The spring 5 provides elastic thrust. When the liquid reservoir 8 is filled with dye, the spring 5 compresses the liquid reservoir 8 through the rubber stopper 4. The compression deformation of the spring 5 provides a pushing force to push the dye through the hose 10 to the brush head 1.

[0032] To address the problem that existing toothbrushes cannot visually display plaque residue, or that require additional operation or instruments to display plaque, this paper provides a compact and convenient integrated plaque detection toothbrush that combines brushing and plaque monitoring, allowing for real-time monitoring of plaque cleanliness during brushing.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, the brush handle 3 of this embodiment has a through groove 9 for placing the hose 10; the flow controller 2 includes a channel 201 opened on the brush handle 3 and connected to the through groove 9, inclined grooves 202 opened on both sides of the channel 201, a rotating roller 204 with both ends located in the two inclined grooves 202, and a roller 203 fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating roller 204 and pressing against the hose 10; there is friction between the two ends of the rotating roller 204 and the two inclined grooves 202;

[0034] When the roller 203 is pushed forward, the roller 204 can drive the roller 203 to push forward through the inclined groove 202, which will flatten the connecting hose to close the channel and prevent the dye from flowing out. When pushed backward, the channel will open and the dye can flow out to the liquid outlet 12 on the brush head 1.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer periphery of the roller 203 in this embodiment is provided with multiple anti-slip protrusions, which increase the friction when the roller 203 is pushed.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the fastener 13 in this embodiment includes an internal thread 1301 disposed on the inner periphery of the tail cap 6 and an external thread 1302 disposed on the outer periphery of the brush handle 3 and meshing with the internal thread 1301. After the internal thread 1301 on the brush handle 3 and the external thread 1302 on the tail cap 6 are tightly rotated and fixed, a sealing and spring 5 thrust are provided.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] 1. Before using the toothbrush, unscrew the tail cap 6 and remove the tail cap 6 + spring 5 + rubber stopper 4 [these 3 parts are connected together];

[0039] 2. Close the roller 203 of the connecting hose 10 [push it to the front: towards brush head 1];

[0040] 3. Pour the harmless dye [erythrosine] into the reservoir 8 to about 90% capacity. Seal the liquid in the reservoir 8 with a combination of rubber stopper 4, spring 5 and tail cap 6. The tail cap 6 is connected to the tail of brush handle 3 by threads.

[0041] 4. Try brushing your teeth normally with toothpaste first, and clean the brush head after you finish brushing.

[0042] 5. After brushing your teeth, gently open the roller 203 [pull it back lightly]. At this moment, the staining agent in the reservoir 8 will flow through the hose 10 to the outlet hole 12 of the brush head 1 under the closing force of the spring 5 and the rubber stopper 4.

[0043] 6. After that, the user uses a toothbrush to evenly apply the stain to the tooth surface, spreading the staining agent on the tooth surface through brush head 1. The plaque will show color after 5-10 seconds.

[0044] 7. Rinse your mouth first. The areas that cannot be rinsed off are areas where plaque remains. Clean these areas twice, and then repeat this action until there are no obvious stained areas, which means the plaque is clean.
