Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a toothbrush set including a toothbrush and a toothbrush case 1. The toothbrush comprises a handle 2 and a brush head (not shown in the figure), wherein the handle 2 comprises a first end 21 and a second end 22 which are oppositely arranged, and the first end 21 is detachably connected with the brush head. Referring to fig. 2 to 6 together, the toothbrush case 1 includes a middle case 10, an upper cover 20 and a lower cover 30, the upper cover 20 is connected with the lower cover 30 and forms a receiving cavity, and the middle case 10 is located in the receiving cavity. The middle shell 10 includes a body 11, a bearing portion 12 and an elastic member 13 connected to each other, and the body 11 includes a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 disposed opposite to each other. The carrying part 12 is disposed on the body 11 and protrudes from the second surface 112, the carrying part 12 is provided with a cavity 121, and one end of the carrying part 12 is further provided with a through hole 122 communicated with the cavity 121. The elastic member 13 is disposed on the second surface 112 and opposite to the through hole 122.

As shown in fig. 1 and 6, the middle shell 10 further includes a placing part 14, the placing part 14 is connected to the main body 11 and protrudes from the second surface 112, and the placing part 14 is provided with a placing cavity 141 for placing the brush head. Moreover, the number of the storage cavities 141 is two, and each storage cavity 141 can be used for storing a brush head, so that a user can replace the brush head conveniently. Further, the opening of the storage cavity 141 and the opening of the cavity 121 are both facing the upper cover 20, and the opening of the storage cavity 141 is communicated with the opening of the cavity 121, so that the user can conveniently take and place the brush head. In this embodiment, the toothbrush is an electric toothbrush, in other embodiments, the toothbrush may be a conventional non-electric toothbrush.

When the toothbrush is stored, the brush head of the toothbrush is separated from the handle 2, and the brush head is placed in the storage cavity 141. Then, the handle 2 is slightly tilted into the cavity 121, so that the first end 21 penetrates through the through hole 122 and presses the elastic member 13. Thus, a gap is left between the second end 22 and the inner wall of the cavity 121 to place the handle 2 into the cavity 121. At this time, the elastic member 13 releases the elastic potential energy stored by the compression of the first end 21, so that the handle 2 moves slightly in the direction from the first end 21 to the second end 22, and the second end 22 abuts against the inner wall of the cavity 121.

Thus, the toothbrush case 1 can restrict the movement of the handle 2 in a direction parallel to the first end 21 to the second end 22 (i.e., an axial direction of the handle 2). Meanwhile, the friction force between the first end 21 and the elastic member 13, and the friction force between the second end 22 and the inner wall of the cavity 121 can limit the movement of the handle 2 in the cavity 121 in a direction perpendicular to the first end 21 to the second end 22. In addition, when the handle 2 is placed in the cavity 121, the first end 21 is inserted into the through hole 122, so that the handle 2 is prevented from being removed from the cavity 121. When the handle 2 is removed, the user applies a force to the second end 22 in a direction from the second end 22 to the first end 21, so that a gap between the second end 22 and the inner wall of the cavity 121 is increased. At this point, the user may remove the handle 2 from the cavity 121.

By providing the elastic member 13, the handle 2 can be elastically contacted with the elastic member 13. When the user compresses the elastic member 13 through the handle 2, the gap between the handle 2 and the inner wall of the cavity 121 can be increased, and the handle 2 is prevented from being scratched by the toothbrush case 1 in the process of taking and placing the handle 2. Moreover, through the arrangement of the through hole 122 and the elastic element 13, no protrusion needs to be arranged on the inner wall of the cavity 121, so that the handle 2 can be prevented from being scratched by the protrusion when the handle 2 is taken or placed. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the shape of the cavity 121 is adapted to the shape of the handle 2 to limit the movement of the handle 2 relative to the middle shell 10. When the handle 2 is placed in the cavity 121, more than half of the handle 2 is located in the cavity 121, so as to prevent the handle 2 from falling out of the cavity 121.

Referring mainly to fig. 6 and 7, the elastic element 13 is a sheet structure, and one end of the elastic element 13 is connected to the body 11, and the other end is a free end and is used for abutting against the first end 21. Moreover, the shape of the surface of the elastic member 13 contacting the first end 21 is adapted to the shape of the end surface of the first end 21 to increase the contact area of the elastic member 13 with the first end 21.

In this embodiment, to facilitate the connection of the elastic member 13 with the body 11, the middle case 10 further includes a mounting seat 15. The mounting seat 15 is connected to the body 11 and disposed on the second surface 112, the mounting seat 15 is provided with a groove 1511, and one end of the elastic element 13 is connected to an inner wall of the groove 1511, so as to save space occupied by the elastic element 13 and the mounting seat 15. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic element 13 may be directly connected to the body 11.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the inner wall of the groove 1511 includes a first sidewall 15111, a bottom wall 15112 and a second sidewall 15113 connected in sequence, and the first sidewall 15111 is disposed opposite to the second sidewall 15113. One end of the elastic member 13 is connected to the bottom wall 15112, the first sidewall 15111 is spaced apart from the elastic member 13 to form a first space-avoiding groove 1512, and the second sidewall 15113 is spaced apart from the elastic member 13 to form a second space-avoiding groove 1513, so as to prevent the elastic member 13 from contacting the first sidewall 15111 or the second sidewall 15113 when moving under the force of the handle 2. That is, the first and

second relief grooves

1512, 1513 allow the free end of the elastic member 13 to freely move relative to the mounting seat 15. In other embodiments, the elastic member 13 may also be connected with the first sidewall 15111 or the second sidewall 15113. At this time, a gap is formed between the elastic member 13 and the bottom wall 15112 and the second surface 112.

Further, the first avoiding groove 1512 and the second avoiding groove 1513 are U-shaped grooves, and the distance between the elastic member 13 and the first sidewall 15111 and the second sidewall 15113 is equal everywhere, so as to prevent the free end of the elastic member 13 from rubbing against the first sidewall 15111 and the second sidewall 15113 when moving.

In addition, the mounting base 15 includes a base 151 and a rib 152, the base 151 is connected to the elastic element 13 and is provided with a groove 1511, and the rib 152 is connected to the base 151 to enhance the strength of the mounting base 15. In this embodiment, the stiffener 152 is disposed on a side of the seat body 151 away from the through hole 122, and in other embodiments, the stiffener 152 may also be disposed on a side of the seat body 151 facing the through hole 122.

In this embodiment, the elastic member 13 is a sheet structure, and in other embodiments, the elastic member 13 may be a compression spring, a rubber pad, or the like.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the middle shell 10 further includes a rotation preventing portion 16 connected to the body 11, and the rotation preventing portion 16 is disposed on the second surface 112 and located between the bearing portion 12 and the elastic element 13. When the handle 2 is placed in the cavity 121, the portion of the first end 21 penetrating through the through hole 122 abuts against the rotation preventing portion 16, and the rotation preventing portion 16 can prevent the handle 2 from rotating.

Specifically, the first end 21 has a D-shaped cross section, the first end 21 includes a plane extending from the second end 22 to the first end 21, and the rotation preventing portion 16 is a bar-shaped protrusion integrally connected to the body 11. Referring mainly to fig. 2 and 3, when the handle 2 is placed in the cavity 121, the portion of the first end 21 extending out of the through hole 122 rests on the rotation preventing portion 16, and the first end 21 contacts the rotation preventing portion 16 through the plane, and the rotation preventing portion 16 can limit the rotation of the handle 2. Moreover, when the first end 21 is inserted into the through hole 122, since the first end 21 is placed on the rotation preventing portion 16, the rotation preventing portion 16 and the inner wall of the cavity 121 can limit the handle 2 from moving along the direction perpendicular to the direction from the first end 21 to the second end 22, so as to limit the handle 2 from shaking in the cavity 121. In other embodiments, the cross section of the first end 21 may also be rectangular, and the anti-rotation portion 16 may be provided with an anti-rotation groove adapted to the first end 21, so that the first end 21 can be placed in the anti-rotation groove of the anti-rotation portion 16 when extending out of the through hole 122, and at this time, the anti-rotation portion 16 can also limit the rotation of the handle 2. It will be appreciated that the provision of a flat surface at the first end 21 also prevents the brush head from rotating relative to the handle 2 when mounted to the handle 2.

It is worth mentioning that by providing the rotation preventing portion 16, when the first end 21 is about to pass through the through hole 122, the end surface of the first end 21 contacts the rotation preventing portion 16. Moreover, since the handle 2 needs to be placed in the cavity 121 in an inclined manner, when the end surface of the first end 21 comes into contact with the rotation preventing portion 16, the end surface of the first end 21 is arranged in an inclined manner with respect to the rotation preventing portion 16, and the rotation preventing portion 16 can guide the handle 2 during the process that the first end 21 penetrates through the through hole 122.

Meanwhile, by providing the rotation preventing portion 16, the position of the handle 2 after being put into the cavity 121 is uniquely determined. That is, the handle 2 can be placed into the cavity 121 only when the flat portion of the first end 21 of the handle contacts the rotation preventing portion 16. At this time, when the handle 2 is placed in the cavity 121, the switch 23 (see fig. 2) of the handle 2 is always away from the inner wall of the cavity 121, so as to prevent the switch 23 of the handle 2 from being accidentally activated by being pressed by the inner wall of the cavity 121 when the handle 2 is placed in the cavity 121.

In addition, as shown in fig. 2 and 6, when the middle case 10 is located in the accommodating cavity, the carrying portion 12 and the object placing portion 14 face one side of the lower cover 30, and the elastic element 13 and the mounting seat 15 are shielded by the lower cover 30, and are not exposed in the visual range of the user, so that the appearance of the toothbrush case 1 is more concise, and the user's appearance is improved. Moreover, the distance between the carrying part 12 and the object placing part 14 and the lower cover 30 is less than the distance between the second surface 112 and the lower cover 30, and the thickness of the main body 11 is consistent with the thickness of the carrying part 12 and the object placing part 14, so that the middle shell 10 is conveniently integrally formed, and the material consumption of the middle shell 10 can be reduced. In other embodiments, the toothbrush case 1 may be provided without the lower cover 30. At this time, the middle case 10 is coupled with the upper cover 20.

Further, in the present embodiment, the middle case 10 is detachably coupled to the lower cover 30 to facilitate cleaning of the middle case 10. Specifically, the middle case 10 is snap-coupled with the lower cover 30. The middle shell 10 is provided with a clamping groove, and the lower cover 30 is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the clamping groove. When the middle shell 10 is connected with the lower cover 30, the protrusion is clamped into the clamping groove. In other embodiments, the middle shell 10 and the lower cover 30 can be connected by tolerance fit.

In addition, in this embodiment, the upper cover 20 is rotatably connected to the lower cover 30, so that the user can conveniently take and place the toothbrush, and the upper cover 20 can be prevented from being lost. In other embodiments, the upper cover 20 may be attached to the lower cover 30 by a tolerance fit cover. Further, the upper cover 20 is made of a transparent material, so that a user can conveniently check whether the toothbrush case 1 is provided with the handle 2 and the toothbrush head. Furthermore, the side of the handle 2 or the middle shell 10 facing the upper cover 20 may be marked with a label of the manufacturer of the toothbrush for publicity.

The above disclosure is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and it is therefore to be understood that the invention is not limited by the scope of the appended claims.
