[0022] Referring to FIG. 1 , a wireless charging electric toothbrush according to a first embodiment of the present application includes a main body 100 including a cleaning part 101 and a handle 110 connected to each other. The cleaning part 101 is provided with a brush head 102. The handle 110 includes an outer case 111 and an inner case 112. The outer case 111 is fitted over the inner case 112 and is made of metal, making the surface of the handle 110 easy to clean. Optionally, the outer case 111 may be integrally manufactured using a material such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or magnesium alloy, thereby eliminating gaps on the surface, optimizing cleaning convenience, and preventing plastic deterioration. The inner case 112 is fitted into the outer case 111 and is connected to the inner wall of the outer case 111 by adhesive. Securing the outer case 111 and inner case 112 with adhesive simplifies the connection structure, increases the utilization of the internal space, and improves the structural strength of electric toothbrushes, which are often maintenance-free. Alternatively, the inner case 112 is preferably made of a fully degradable PLA material, i.e., a fully biodegradable polylactic acid (Polylactic Acid) material. Polylactic acid has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, and can be completely decomposed into water and carbon dioxide under certain conditions, making it environmentally friendly. Additionally, the brush head 102 can be made of similarly degradable, environmentally friendly materials, such as plant fiber, to reduce environmental pollution.

[0023] 2, the end of inner case 112 away from clean section 101 is closed off as closed end 114, which is integrated with inner case 112, eliminating the need for removable fasteners and significantly improving waterproofing and preventing water leakage due to seal degradation or loosening.
