[0020] The following description, using the accompanying drawings as an example, details the relevant structure and its various implementations for each component. Without violating the technical principles, the components (including one or more implementations) can be combined with each other.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 In Embodiment 1, this application discloses a base 1. (See reference...) Figure 2 A toothbrush system 2 is disclosed. The toothbrush system 2 includes a base 1 and a toothbrush 3. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 includes an upper shell 10, a lower shell 12, a main body 11, and a decorative component 13. The upper shell 10 has a recessed slot 101. The toothbrush 3 is placed in the slot 101. The slot 101's limiting effect on the toothbrush 3 can be achieved by setting the size of the slot 101. Alternatively, a limiting structure 14 can be provided within the slot 101 to limit the toothbrush 3 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown). At least two limiting structures 14 are provided. The cavity formed by the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 12 can accommodate the main body 11. The main body 11 can be a counterweight. The center of gravity of the main body 11 is on the central axis (Y-axis) of the base 1. The central axis (Y-axis) refers to the axis perpendicular to the placement surface B1 and passing through the geometric center of the base 1 when the base 1 is in a balanced state. The main body 11 is located on the outer periphery of the slot 101. The main body 11 can be configured with mounting holes 112. The slot 101 is installed in the mounting holes 112. (As shown) Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, when the base 1 and / or the toothbrush system 2 are in a balanced state on the placement surface B1, the area where the lower surface of the lower housing 12 contacts the placement surface B1 is the first support area A1 (i.e., Figure 5 and Figure 8 The area enclosed by the dashed line shown. The central axis (Y-axis) passes through the geometric center of the first support area A1. (As shown...) Figure 6-7 and Figure 9-10 As shown, when the base 1 and / or the toothbrush system 2 are placed on the placement surface B1 and are shaking, the area of ​​the lower surface of the lower housing 12 in contact with the placement surface B1 varies between the first support area A1 and the second support area A2. The second support area A2 refers to all areas of the lower surface of the lower housing 12 that can contact the placement surface B1, excluding the first support area A1, when the base 1 is shaking (i.e., Figure 5 and Figure 8 The area enclosed by the solid line (excluding the area enclosed by the dashed line) is shown. Placement surface B1 refers to any surface suitable for placing the base 1 and / or toothbrush system 2, such as a washbasin countertop, bathroom shelf surface, etc. The edge of the second support area A2 is rounded to facilitate the variation of the lower surface between the first support area A1 and the second support area A2 when the base 1 shakes. The surface area of ​​the second support area A2 is smaller than the surface area of ​​the lower surface. When the user touches the base 1 and / or toothbrush system 2, the base 1 and / or toothbrush system 2 shakes along the central axis (Y-axis) without tipping over. The stability of the base 1 and / or toothbrush system 2 placed on placement surface B1 is increased. The surface area of ​​the first support area A1 is smaller than the surface area of ​​the second support area A2. The second support area A2 is configured as a ring surrounding the first support area A1.

[0022] In Example 2, as Figure 11 As shown, the widest part of the base is 8-10cm. The ratio of the base's maximum height to its maximum width is designed to be between 0.3 and 0.5. To reduce the volume of the base, the ratio is further set between 0.38 and 0.4. In daily life, space for toiletries is limited, so the size of the base 1 for the toothbrush 3 needs to be controlled. A height-to-width ratio of 0.3-0.5 ensures the stability of the base without excessively occupying the placement surface B1. The maximum height H1 of the base 1 refers to the vertical distance between the lowest point of the lower surface of the lower shell 12 and the highest point of the upper edge of the upper shell 10 when the base 1 is in a balanced state. The maximum width W1 of the base 1 refers to the maximum projected width in the horizontal direction when the base 1 is in a balanced state. Both satisfy 0.3 ≤ maximum height H1 / maximum width W1 ≤ 0.5.

[0023] In embodiment 3, the slot 101 is further designed with a height-to-width ratio between 1.3 and 1.7. While maintaining the stability of the base 1 and without excessively occupying the placement surface B1, the height-to-width ratio of the slot 101 is between 1.3 and 1.7. Setting the height-to-width ratio of the slot 101 to 1.3-1.7 is suitable for most toothbrushes 3 on the market, and also ensures that the toothbrush 3 can be stably and securely placed on the base 1, while still allowing for easy placement and removal. The maximum height H2 of the slot 101 refers to the vertical distance between the lowest point of the bottom of the slot 101 and the highest point of the slot 101. The maximum width W2 of the slot 101 refers to the maximum projected width of the side of the slot 101 in the horizontal direction. Both satisfy 1.3 ≤ maximum height H2 of the slot 101 / maximum width W2 of the slot 101 ≤ 1.7.

[0024] In embodiment 4, the ratio of the highest height H1 of base 1 to the highest height H2 of slot 101 is designed to be between 1.3 and 1.6. This ratio can be further limited to between 1.4 and 1.5. The ratio of the widest width W1 of base 1 to the widest width W2 of slot 101 is designed to be between 2.3 and 2.7. In addition, the ratio of the highest height H1 of base 1 to the highest height H3 of body 11 is set to between 2.2 and 2.4. The ratio of the widest width W1 of base 1 to the widest width W3 of body 11 is set to between 4.3 and 4.6. The highest height H3 of body 11 refers to the vertical distance between the highest point of the upper surface of body 11 and the lowest point of the lower surface of body 11 when body 11 is located in the cavity and in a balanced state. The widest width W3 of body 11 refers to the maximum projected width of one side of body 11 in a horizontal position, with the central axis (Y-axis) as the dividing line, when body 11 is located in the cavity and in a balanced state. When the maximum height-to-width ratio is designed between 2.2 and 2.4, and the maximum width-to-weight ratio is designed between 4.3 and 4.6, the center of gravity of the main body 11 and the base 1 is lowered, reducing the risk of the base 1 tipping over due to accidental contact. While maintaining the stability of the base 1, the weight of the main body 11 and the base 1 is also reduced, making the main body 11 and the base 1 lighter.

[0025] In Example 5, as Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 12 can be connected by threads. The main body 11 is provided with a positioning hole 111. The main body 11 is connected to the threaded hole 103 of the upper housing 10 and the mounting hole 122 of the lower housing 12 through the positioning hole 111 and is installed in the cavity. The center of gravity of the main body 11 does not deviate from the central axis (Y-axis). When the user touches the base 1 and / or the toothbrush system 2, the base 1 and / or the toothbrush system 2 maintain stability and can gradually return to balance from shaking. When the toothbrush 3 is placed in the mouthwash cup after daily use, the residual liquid on the toothbrush 3 will fall into the mouthwash cup. If it is not cleaned in time, it may cause bacteria to grow on the toothbrush 3, thus affecting oral health. Therefore, hydrophobicity is considered in the design of the base 1. The upper housing 10 is provided with a protruding structure 104. At least one first hydrophobic hole 102 is provided on the protruding structure 104. The protruding structure 104 is connected to the bottom of the slot 101 and installed in the cavity. At least one second hydrophobic hole 121 is provided on the lower housing 12. Liquid falling into the slot 101 can be promptly drained from the base 1 through the first drainage hole 102 and the second drainage hole 121. After the toothbrush 3 is placed in the slot 101 of the base 1, it will not accumulate water and breed bacteria, thus preventing any impact on oral health.

[0026] Although the embodiments of this application have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this application is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
