[0044] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0045] With reference to Figures 1 to 9, the present application provides a brush head care device, including: a main body 1, the main body 1 is a table formed by rotating around a first axis, the first bottom surface is recessed toward the second bottom surface along the extension direction of the first axis to form a receiving recess 302, and a limiting groove 202 is formed at one end of the receiving recess 302, the receiving recess 302 is used to accommodate at least part of the components of the brush head 401; a retaining frame 501 is detachably arranged at one end of the receiving recess 302, the retaining frame 501 includes a receiving groove 503, and a support portion 504 arranged at the first end of the receiving groove 503, the first end of the receiving groove is an end extending along the through direction of the receiving groove; the receiving groove 503 is adjacent to the limiting groove 202 and is correspondingly arranged, and the opening directions of the receiving groove 503 and the limiting groove 202 are both away from the receiving recess 302, so that at least part of the components of the brush head 401 can pass through the receiving groove 503 and the limiting groove 202, and be releasably retained on the support portion 504. The opening directions of the accommodating groove 503 and the limiting groove 202 intersect perpendicularly with the through direction.

[0046] The brush head care device includes a main body 1 and a holder 501 detachably mounted on the main body 1. The toothbrush is hung on the holder 501, so the residual toothpaste stains and water stains on the toothbrush will be more concentrated on the holder 501. Since the holder 501 is detachable, when cleaning is required, the holder 501 can be removed from the main body 1, and then the holder 501 can be cleaned and dried, and then installed on the main body 1. This will not cause adverse effects on the electronic devices in the main body 1, and can ensure the cleanliness and dryness of the holder 501, making it convenient to clean the holder 501, and effectively avoiding problems such as residual toothpaste stains and mold on the holder 501.

[0047] Since the retaining frame 501 can be removed, the cleaning of the receiving recess 302 of the main body 1 will not be affected by the retaining frame 501, and the operation is also simpler and more convenient. It can be cleaned directly by wiping, so that the brush head care device can be kept clean and dry as a whole, improving the problems of the brush head care device being difficult to clean, easy to leave toothpaste stains, water stains, and the resulting mold, thereby improving the usability and comfort of the brush head care device.

[0048] In this embodiment, the projection of the main body 1 on the cross section perpendicular to the first axis is circular or quasi-circular. The main body 1 is a platform formed by rotating one circle around the first axis, and the central axis of the platform coincides with the first axis.

[0049] At least part of the components of the brush head 401 include the bristles of the brush head and the base of the brush head on which the bristles are arranged.

[0050] In one embodiment, the holder 501 is snap-fitted with one end of the receiving recess 302. The snap-fitting between the holder 501 and the receiving recess 302 of the main body 1 enables the holder 501 to be installed on the main body 1. This provides a simple structure, convenient operation, and quicker installation and removal. This makes cleaning the holder 501 easier, reduces operational difficulty for the user, and improves user convenience.

[0051] The clamping connection between the retaining frame 501 and the main body 1 can be achieved directly by utilizing the structures on the retaining frame 501 and the main body 1 without the need to set up additional components, so the cost of parts is lower.

[0052] In one embodiment, the detachable connection between the holder 501 and the main body 1 may also be a screw connection or a pin connection.

[0053] In one embodiment, a protruding hook 303 is provided on one side of the receiving recess 302 close to the first axis, and a slot 502 extending a preset length along the extension direction of the first axis is provided at the second end of the receiving groove 503, and the second end of the receiving groove is the other end of the receiving groove extending along the through direction; when the retaining frame 501 is coupled to the receiving recess 302, the hook 303 is engaged with the slot 502.

[0054] In this embodiment, the slot 502 extends from the bottom of the retainer 501 and extends a predetermined length along the first axis, forming a stop surface at the end of the slot 502 for the hook 303. The hook 303 extends laterally from the main body 1, and the retainer 501 can be directly engaged with the hook 303 through the slot 502, thereby achieving the fixed position and installation of the retainer 501 on the main body 1. The slot 502 extends from the bottom of the retaining frame 501, but does not pass through the top of the slot of the retaining frame 501. Therefore, the slot 502 can form a stop surface on the side close to the top of the slot. After the slot 502 is connected to the hook 303, the retaining frame 501 slides down relative to the hook 303 under the action of the slot 502. When it slides down to the position where the stop surface contacts the hook 303, the retaining frame 501 is hung on the hook 303 under the stopping action of the stop surface and will not slide down, thereby forming an effective limit for the sliding position of the retaining frame 501. On the one hand, it accurately defines the hooking position of the retaining frame 501 on the hook 303, and on the other hand, it effectively prevents the retaining frame 501 from sliding off the hook 303, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the clamping structure of the retaining frame 501 on the hook 303.

[0055] In one embodiment, the hook 303 includes a guide rail extending along the extension direction of the first axis and unfolding along the extension direction of the second axis, and a hook assembly set at an angle to the guide rail; when the retaining frame 501 is force-coupled to the receiving recess 302, the elastic arm at the open end of the slot 502 slides from one end of the guide rail along the extension direction of the first axis, close to the guide rail, and the hook assembly enters the hook slot portion adapted by the slot 502 until the stop surface at the other end of the slot 502 is close to the other end of the guide rail, and / or the elastic arm stops sliding when the end boss near the open end buckles the other end of the guide rail.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first axis is the central axis of the main body 1, and the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis, so that the guide rail of the hook 303 first forms a guide distance for guiding the installation of the retaining frame 501 along the direction of the first axis, and then expands toward the second axis, so that the guide rail can form a guide width for guiding the retaining frame 501, thereby ensuring the matching structure of the guide rail and the retaining frame 501. The hook assembly is arranged at the end of the guide rail expanded along the second axis and forms an angle with the guide rail. This angle can be used to form a hook structure, which facilitates the limitation of the retaining frame 501 when sliding on the guide rail and prevents the retaining frame 501 from falling off when sliding on the guide rail. A preset angle is formed between the hook assembly and the guide rail, that is, a preset angle is formed between the hook assembly and the second axis, and the angle can be optionally 90°.

[0057] The elastic arm at the open end of the slot 502 slides closely against the guide rail along the extension direction of the first axis from one end of the guide rail. The one end here refers to the end extending along the first axis. The elastic arm stops sliding when the end boss near the open end buckles the other end of the guide rail. The other end here refers to the other end extending along the first axis.

[0058] In one embodiment, the hooks 303 are disposed on both sides of the limiting slot 202 , and the hook bodies of the hooks 303 on both sides are opposite to each other, and the structure of the slot 502 is adapted to the shape of the hooks 303 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the hook 303 is L-shaped or 7-shaped, and the slot 502 is also L-shaped or 7-shaped to match. The hook body of the hook 303 can cooperate with the slot 502 to limit the retainer 501 and prevent the retainer 501 from falling away from the main body. The hook bodies of the hooks 303 on both sides are separated from each other, which can prevent the hook bodies of the hooks 303 from interfering with the arrangement of the limit slot 202, thereby facilitating the structural design of the limit slot 202.

[0060] As an embodiment, the length of the hook groove portion may be less than or equal to the length of the slide rail; or, the length of the hook groove portion may be less than the length of the elastic arm.

[0061] In one embodiment, the length of the guide rail is 5 mm to 8 mm. If the guide rail is too long, the height of the main body 1 along the first axis will increase, which will increase the volume of the brush head care device and hinder the miniaturization and portability of the brush head care device. If the guide rail is too short, the clamping length of the guide rail and the retaining frame 501 will be too short, resulting in poor structural stability after the clamping joint and causing left and right shaking. Limiting the length of the guide rail to the above range can effectively solve these two problems.

[0062] In one embodiment, when the retaining frame 501 is coupled to the receiving recess 302, when the retaining frame 501 is subjected to a force that exceeds a preset threshold and moves away from the receiving recess 302 in the extension direction of the first axis, the end boss at the open end detaches from the other end of the guide rail and slides away from the receiving recess 302 close to the guide rail in the extension direction of the first axis.

[0063] In this embodiment, the retaining frame 501 and the hook 303 will form a clamping force when they are clamped. This clamping force enables the retaining frame 501 to remain stably in its current position when it is under the pressure of the toothbrush without displacement. After the position of the retaining frame 501 on the hook 303 is adjusted into place, it can be effectively maintained, which can ensure that a good matching relationship is formed between the position of the toothbrush head and the various parts of the brush head care device, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the mounting structure of the retaining frame 501.

[0064] The clamping force between the retaining frame 501 and the hook 303 should not be too small, and should be greater than the mass of the toothbrush to ensure that the retaining frame 501 provides stable support for the toothbrush. The clamping force should not be too large to avoid the problem of excessive force required to adjust the matching position of the retaining frame 501 and the hook 303, resulting in unchanged adjustment.

[0065] In one embodiment, the retaining frame 501 is an elastic structure, and the retaining frame 501 and the hook 303 are in interference fit.

[0066] In this embodiment, the retaining frame 501 is designed as an elastic structure, and the retaining frame 501 and the hook 303 are interference fit. The elastic deformation force of the retaining frame 501 can be used to press the hook 303, so that a stable fit is formed between the retaining frame 501 and the hook 303, preventing the retaining frame 501 from moving relative to the hook 303 after being installed on the hook 303, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the installation structure.

[0067] In addition, the holder 501 adopts an elastic structure, and after the brush head 401 is installed on the holder 501, the holder 501 can be used to clamp and fix the brush head 401, so that the brush head 401 can be stably installed on the holder 501.

[0068] In one embodiment, the preset threshold is a force of 1 kg.

[0069] In one embodiment, the main body 1 is a wall-hanging structure. When the main body 1 is hung on the wall, the limiting groove 202 is located at the bottom of the main body 1. The holder 501 also includes a supporting part, which is located at the top of the holder 501. The toothbrush is suspended on the holder 501, and the brush head 401 is supported by the top of the holder 501.

[0070] In this embodiment, the main body 1 is provided with a structure suitable for wall hanging, such as a hook or a hanging hole, so that the brush head care device is in a wall-hanging state when it is in use. At this time, the limiting groove 202 is located at the bottom of the main body 1, and the top of the holder 501 is the side away from the limiting groove 202, and the bottom of the holder 501 is the side close to the limiting groove 202. The top of the holder 501 here refers to the top of the holder 501 when the main body 1 is in the wall-hanging state, which is different from the top and bottom of the accommodating groove 503 of the holder 501. The top and bottom of the accommodating groove 503 are relative to the accommodating groove 503, and the bottom of the accommodating groove 503 is used as the bottom, and the notch position is used as the top, not the top and bottom of the holder 501 when it is in use. The references between the two are different, so there is no contradiction.

[0071] In one embodiment, the support portion 504 includes a curved surface that is concave toward the other end along the through direction of the receiving groove 503 .

[0072] In one embodiment, the support portion 504 includes a downwardly recessed support groove, and the width of the support groove decreases from top to bottom.

[0073] In this embodiment, the width of the support groove decreases from top to bottom, and a structure that gradually shrinks from top to bottom can be formed. When the brush head 401 is installed on the retaining frame 501, the neck of the brush head 401 will be stuck in the support groove and supported by the support groove. Since the width of the support groove decreases from top to bottom, the brush head 401 can fall into the support groove under the action of gravity and be limited by the support groove, so that the support of the brush head 401 by the support groove is more stable. Since the width of the support groove decreases from top to bottom, it coincides with the change of the neck structure of the brush head 401, so that the two have better adaptability and the matching structure is more stable.

[0074] In one embodiment, the curved surface is a contoured curved surface adapted to the mounting portion of the brush head 401 , so that the mounting portion of the brush head 401 fits the curved surface and is releasably retained in the support portion 504 .

[0075] The curved surface is a contoured design of the support portion 504 and is adapted to the mounting portion of the brush head 401 , enabling the brush head to be automatically fine-tuned and aligned with the germicidal lamp after being hung, and enhancing the adaptability of the brush head to the support portion 504 .

[0076] The mounting portion of the brush head 401 may be the junction between the back plate and the handle of the brush head, or the back plate of the brush head, or the handle of the brush head.

[0077] In one embodiment, the curved surface is formed by stacking multiple brush head mounting portion contoured curved surfaces of different shapes, and adjacent contoured curved surfaces are transitionally connected so that the mounting portion of at least part of the components of the brush head 401 fits the curved surface and can be releasably retained in the support portion 504.

[0078] In this embodiment, in order to accommodate multiple types of brush heads 401 so that they can be stably placed on the holder 501, the outer curved surfaces of multiple commonly used brush heads 401 are superimposed together, and then these curved surfaces are smoothly combined. Then, each brush head has an inconsistent width of the outer curved surface, forming a curved surface from wide to narrow. Therefore, when different types of brush heads 401 are placed on the holder 501, they will contact at different heights of the curved surface according to their width, thereby achieving tight hanging without shaking.

[0079] In one embodiment, the width of the curved surface decreases along the concave direction, or the curved surface includes multiple supporting steps, and the widths of the multiple supporting steps decrease along the concave direction; or the curved surface includes multiple different curved surfaces, and the curvatures of the multiple different curved surfaces decrease along the concave direction, and adjacent curved surfaces are connected by arc surface transitions.

[0080] The plurality of support steps can form a plurality of support grooves of different sizes, thereby being able to adapt to brush heads 401 of different specifications and meeting the installation and fixing requirements of brush heads 401 of various specifications on the retaining frame 501.

[0081] In one embodiment, the holder 501 is made of a soft rubber structure, and the elasticity of the soft rubber can be used to adapt to different brush heads.

[0082] In one embodiment, the accommodating groove 503 and the receiving recess 302 are spaced apart by a preset length along the extension direction of the first axis, so that when at least part of the components of the brush head 401 are retained in the accommodating groove 503 , the bristle cleaning surface is spaced apart from the first bottom surface.

[0083] In one embodiment, a germicidal lamp 703 is provided between the first bottom surface and the second bottom surface. The germicidal lamp 703 is arranged toward the bristle cleaning surface. The distance between the bristle cleaning surface and the germicidal lamp is 6 mm to 8 mm.

[0084] In one embodiment, the distance between the bristle cleaning surface and the germicidal lamp 703 is 7 mm.
