In the present embodiment, shown in the 360 degree type toothbrush image patterns 1 like that, have brush cylindraceous at the leading section of brush holder 14.This brush cylindraceous constitutes by following manner, and this mode is: the radial bristle 1 of the filamentary material of the nylon resin system that is used for toothbrush being processed the dish-type that forms is overlapping a plurality of along central axis direction.
At the central part of radial bristle 1, the through hole that the leading section that has brush holder 14 like that shown in the image pattern 2 runs through.The melt-coating part 2 that disk body by ring-type forms is set around this through hole, and multi-filament shape material stretches out radially from melt-coating part 2, the brush portion of formation ring-type.In addition, on one of them surface in melt-coating part 2, the circular protrusion 3 of cross section semicircular in shape shape is formed in the scope in full week with being integral.
Radial bristle 1 is like this made as following.Shown in the manufacturing installation image pattern 3 like that, by the tow 4 that the filamentary material 4A by the nylon resin system of bunchy constitutes, make radial bristle 1.In order to carry out this manufacturing, be equipped with processing bed 6, thereon cylindraceous deposited 5 is set.This processing bed 6 comprises the through hole that tow 4 passes through, and the lifting chuck 7,8 that tow 4 is promoted thereunder is set.
On the surface of processing bed 6, ring-type blade 6B is set according to the mode of contact through hole.The height of this ring-type blade 6B increases towards interior all sides from outer circumferential side, and the inner peripheral surface of this inner peripheral surface and through hole keeps continuously.At the outer circumferential side of ring-type blade 6B, annular recessed portion 6C is set according to the mode that contacts with ring-type blade 6B.Annular recessed portion 6C is used to form the circular protrusion 3 of radial bristle 1, has the cross sectional shape with the corresponding semi-circular shape of cross sectional shape of circular protrusion 3.At the more outer circumferential side of annular recessed portion 6C, turning up the soil with some clearance gap is provided with another annular recessed portion 6A.This annular recessed portion 6A is used to realize make the cut-out of the external diameter unanimity of radial bristle 1.
Deposited 5 cylindraceous is concentric shape and is arranged in the through hole of processing bed 6, and lifting drives by not shown driving mechanism.This deposited 5 is the deposited deposited shaft type die that carries out based on ultrasonic vibration, drives by not shown oscillator.The through hole that is arranged at deposited 5 central part is airport 5A, is used for tow 4 is opened towards periphery.Deposited 5 leading section is also used as the thermal cut-out drift, and is combined with the blade 6B of processing bed 6 according to the 5B of its inner peripheral portion, forms the mode of sword thing, and airport 5A is enlarged.Deposited 5 ring-type front end face 5C is deposited.
In operation task, tow 4 from the bottom side (inner face side) pass the through hole of processing bed 6 to top side (exterior side), the lifting of the lifting chuck 7 of the below by being arranged at processing bed 6 is measured according to the rules on processing bed 6 and is exposed.This amount of exposing is according to the degree set greater than the radius of radial bristle 1.If tow 4 on processing bed 6 according to the rules amount expose, then deposited 5 blows out air towards the below, and in vibration, realizes descending.Central part collision from the exposed portions serve of the tow 4 of deposited 5 blow out air and below.Thus, the exposed portions serve of tow 4 is towards opening equably on every side.At this state, deposited 5 descends continuously, will towards around the tow 4 opened press in the processing beds 6.Thus, the exposed portions serve of tow 4 is radial towards what fully open on every side.Deposited 5 vibration helps exposed portions serve with tow 4 towards evenly and successfully opening on every side.
If based on the end of opening of deposited 5 tow 4, then shown in the image pattern 4 like that, this tow of opening 4 is fixed by the silk pressing spare 9 of ring-type.This silk pressing spare 9 is independent of deposited 5 and carries out the lifting driving according to the top that is arranged at processing bed 6 around deposited 5 mode with one heart.The bottom surface of silk pressing spare 9 forms the applicator surface 9A of Te Fulong (テ Off ロ Application, registration mark), so that in mode attractive in appearance tow 4 is opened, reduces coefficient of friction.The cut-out sword 10 of ring-type is installed at the outer circumferential side of this silk pressing spare 9.This cut-out sword 10 is corresponding with the lip-deep annular recessed portion 6A that is arranged at processing bed 6.So if follow the decline of silk pressing spare 9, when tow 4 is fixing radially, by cutting off sword 10, external diameter cut off this radial tow 4 according to the rules.
According to cutting off parallel mode with the external diameter of the tow of opening radially 4, the central part of deposited 5 pairs of tow of opening radially 4 pressurizes, and deposited 5C of the ring-type by front end carries out deposited processing to this central part in the form of a ring.Carry out deposited in, by blade 6B towards processing bed 6, the mode of pushing deposited 5 the 5B of inner peripheral portion, the inboard with melt-coating part 2 adds thermal cut-out in the form of a ring, removes this inboard.Here, filamentary material is principal component with the nylon resin.Thus, in deposited, the part of melted material flows among the lip-deep recess 6C that is arranged at processing bed 6, on one of them surface in melt-coating part 2, is integrally formed into the circular protrusion 3 of cross section semicircular in shape shape.
In the present embodiment, like this, adopt tow 4, make radial bristle 1 apace in constant position.Specifically, the opening of pieces 4, fix, external diameter cuts off, the excision that ring-type is deposited, melt-coating part is inboard of central part is carried out in constant position continuously, particularly, the removal that ring-type is deposited, melt-coating part is inboard of the opening of tow 4, central part is side by side carried out by deposited 5.So,, make radial bristle 1 especially expeditiously from pieces 4.
The radial bristle of making on processing bed 61 separates with pieces 4 by the mode of the inboard of removal melt-coating part 2.The leading section of remaining pieces 4 surplus is arranged is fixed by deposited.If deposited 5 and silk pressing spare 9 rise on original position, then shown in the image pattern 5 like that, promote chuck 8 by another silk, according to such as about 2mm tow 4 being promoted, the residue melt-coating part 12 of front end is removed by the cutter 11 of horizontal direction.Thus, the leading section arrangement of tow 4 is neat, use for the manufacturing of next radial bristle.The unnecessary melt-coating part 12 that has cut off attracts by the air blast (air blow) 13 that is arranged at the side.If deposited 5 and silk pressing spare 9 rise on original position, then the radial bristle 1 made of liberation also attracts by above-mentioned air blast (air blow) 13.
By carrying out above-mentioned action repeatedly, make radial bristle 1 expeditiously continuously by pieces 4.The radial bristle 1 made as following, is assembled into 360 degree type toothbrushes.
At first, shown in the image pattern 6 like that, according to leading section below mode vertically support brush holder 14.In addition, on the bristle support than minor diameter of the leading section that is formed at brush holder 14, the order according to from the specified quantity of below embeds Manufactured radial bristle 1.At this moment, radial bristle 1 remains on the downward posture of the circular protrusion that is formed on the ring-type melt-coating part 23.This is inserted through handwork or not shown automatic equipment and carries out.According to processed, so that the above-mentioned radial bristle 1 that has inserted can not extracted halfway in the mode of the fore-end 3mm left and right sides of above-mentioned bristle support length diameter overstriking 0.1mm.
If the radial bristle 1 of specified quantity is inserted the leading section of brush holder 14, then brush holder 14 is sent to subsequent processing by conveyer.In this operation, shown in the image pattern 7 like that, brush holder 14 is set on cladding machine 15 down, cladding machine 15 rises by cylinder, presses on the front end face of brush holder 14, thus, processes near the portion front end face thicker.Like this, at the leading section of brush holder 14 that the radial bristle 1 of specified quantity is fixing, form brush cylindraceous.The deposited time is set by timer, and pressing speed, plus-pressure, heating-up temperature also considering under the situation of room temperature etc., corresponding and suitable setting.
If the installation of radial bristle 1, then brush holder 14 is sent to subsequent processing again by conveyer.In this operation, shown in the image pattern 8 like that, by the outer peripheral face of the Manufactured brush of hair end rounding processing machine 16 processing.Hair end rounding processing machine 16 is according to will be along the diagonal on the surface of the sand paper about No. 400, and adhesion width is that the assembly of No. 600 sand paper about 10mm is fixed on the bulging surface, and by CD-ROM drive motor 17, the mode of rotating this drum constitutes.In addition, on the surface of the processing machine 16 that is rotated, the outer peripheral face of contact brush is this state, when making the brush rotation, it is moved vertically.Thus, each mao end in the brush is processed into round shape.The tension force of paper part is considered the material, diameter of filamentary material etc. and is suitably adjusted.
In the present embodiment, make 360 degree type toothbrushes through above operation.The feature of Manufactured 360 degree type toothbrushes is as described below.
On one of them surface in the plate-like melt-coating part 2 of radial bristle 1, be integrally formed into the circular protrusion 3 of convex.Thus,, be not situated between and establish under the situation of distance piece,, still between the brush portion of the radial bristle 1 of adjacency, guarantee predetermined gap only by towards the equidirectional mode that radial bristle 1 is overlapping even be between the bristle of adjacency.Thus, can in brush cylindraceous, axial gross density be reduced in the suitable scope.Thus, usability is good, does not damage mucous membrane in gum, the oral cavity, ganoid danger in addition.In addition, aeration is good, and hygienic state is improved.In addition, also have the hair end and enter between cog easily, arrive the advantage of terminal molar easily.
In addition, when forming melt-coating part 2, form above-mentioned circular protrusion 3, in this is shaped, do not require unnecessary cost.So it does not constitute the reason that the goods cost increases.
Best, the height of the lug boss that is formed by circular protrusion 3 is in the scope of 0.1~0.4mm.If it is low that this height is spent, then the axial gross density of brush does not reduce fully.Otherwise in the occasion of this excessive height, gross density is too sparse, produces the obstruction in the practicality.In addition, this lug boss flows into by the resin from melt-coating part and forms.From the aspect of guaranteeing of amount of resin, the formation of too high lug boss is difficult.
In the assembling of brush cylindraceous, owing to needn't adopt distance piece, thus avoid the increase of number of components, and manufacturing process is significantly rationalized.Owing to these reasons, so can reduce manufacturing cost significantly.In addition, avoid sneaking into of foreign matter, also improve hygienic state.Alternately the efficiency of operation by radial bristle 1 and distance piece is extremely low, and leeway increases.By only inserting radial bristle 1, installation time reduces by half, and realizes the significantly reduction of production, goods price in a large number.
In the manufacturing of radial bristle 1, constant position carry out continuously from supplying to of tow 4 be the opening of radiation shapes, fix, deposited, the removal that melt-coating part is inboard of central part, and the removal of the residue melt-coating part 12 of pieces 4.Particularly, by deposited 5,, carry out the removal of the deposited and melt-coating part inboard of the opening of tow 4, central part by the single operation of single instrument.Thus, the highly productive of radial bristle 1, the price of manufacturing installation is also lower, can reduce the manufacturing cost of radial bristle 1 significantly.
By the way, can make 360 high-quality degree type toothbrushes economically, can to the market low price provide.
Fig. 9 is the cutaway view of another example of the radial bristle of expression.
In this radial bristle 1, on two surfaces of the melt-coating part 2 of ring-type, circular protrusion 3,3 is set.As the method that circular protrusion 3,3 is set, also can on deposited 5C of front end of deposited 5 ring-type, form and be formed at the corresponding annular recessed portion of lip-deep annular recessed portion 6C of processing bed 6 on two faces of melt-coating part 2.Thus, can when forming melt-coating part 2, on two faces, form circular protrusion 3,3.
In the brush cylindraceous that radial bristle 1 is overlapped into by this, circular protrusion 3,3 relative between the radial bristle 1,1 of adjacency is overlapping, forms distance piece, and thus, axial gross density reduces.The height of the circular protrusion 3 of this occasion is that circular protrusion 3 is arranged at the 1/2 all right of an occasion on the face.
Figure 10 is the also front view of an example of the radial bristle of expression.
In this radial bristle 1, be mixed with long filamentary material and short filamentary material.More particularly, the multi-filament shape material 40 that extends radially to outer circumferential side from the melt-coating part 2 of the ring-type structure that long filamentary material 41 and short filamentary material 42 are combined into of serving as reasons.On the surface of melt-coating part 2, identical with other radial bristle 1, form the lug boss that forms by circular protrusion 3.
Radial bristle 1 comparable like following such manufacturing like this.When being to make on the processing bed 6 radial bristle 1, on processing bed 6, tow 4 length according to the rules exposes, and still, at this moment, makes an appointment with the filamentary material of half to expose more longways from processing bed 6, and rest parts is exposed from processing bed 6 shortly.In addition, to processing by both at random composite tow 4.Thus, can in the brush portion that multi-filament shape material is expanded radially, make the radial bristle 1 of the different filamentary material of mixing length.
If form brush by such radial bristle 1, the type located for the inboard that the hair end can be arrived well between cog, terminal molar especially etc. of this 360 degree type toothbrush then.
Figure 11 is the also front view of an example of the radial bristle of expression.
In this radial bristle 1, thick and long filamentary material and thin and short filamentary material mix.More particularly, the multi-filament shape material 40 that extends radially to outer circumferential side from the melt-coating part 2 of the ring-type structure that thick and long filamentary material 43 and thin and short filamentary material 44 are combined into of serving as reasons.On the surface of melt-coating part 2, identical with other radial bristle 1, form the lug boss that forms by circular protrusion 3.
Radial bristle 1 like this can such as, as following, make.When being to make on the processing bed 6 radial bristle 1, on processing bed 6 tow 4 according to the rules length expose, but, the type that filamentary material that tow 4 employings this moment are thicker and thinner filamentary material mix, for thicker filamentary material, to expose largely, for thinner filamentary material, it exposes with short degree from processing bed 6 from processing bed 6 for it.In addition, the tow 4 that at random mixes both is processed.Thus, in the brush portion that multi-filament shape material extends radially, make the radial bristle 1 that the diameter filamentary material different with length mixes.
If form brush by so radial bristle 1, then in this 360 degree type toothbrush, inboard that the hair end can be arrived well between cog, terminal molar especially etc. is located, and the ability of scrubbing is good, and flexibly contact, obtain the excellent massage effect with inside, oral cavity, gum.It is harder that its reason is to arrive the long filamentary material of the inboard of between cog, terminal molar etc. locating, the filamentary material softness in contact gum, oral cavity.In addition, by adopting thicker filamentary material and thinner filamentary material simultaneously, hardness can be adjusted to and the corresponding brush hardness of the state of inside, oral cavity, gum.
Figure 12 is the brush outside drawing of the another example of expression 360 degree type toothbrushes.
This 360 degree type toothbrush comprises the brush that is combined into by 2 kinds of radial bristle 1A, 1B.One of them radial bristle 1A be from the melt-coating part of ring-type towards around, the major diameter bristle that the filamentary material that extends radially is long, another bristle be the minor diameter bristle that this filamentary material is lacked.By alternately making up the radial bristle 1B of large diameter radial bristle 1A and minor diameter, this brush forms the type that the different filamentary material of length mixes, and the hair end arrives the inboard of between cog, terminal molar etc. well and locates.

This 360 degree type toothbrush comprises the brush that is combined into by 2 kinds of radial bristle 1C, 1D, one of them radial bristle 1C is for adopting the hard bristle of thicker filamentary material, another radial bristle is for adopting the soft bristle of thinner filamentary material, by the radial bristle 1C of hard and soft radial bristle 1D are alternately made up, this brush forms the type that is mixed with the different filamentary material of hardness, hardness can be adjusted to and the corresponding brush hardness of the state of inside, oral cavity, gum.Such as, because of the occasion a little less than the gums such as gingivitis, periodontitis, can carry out corresponding hardness and regulate.
Figure 14 is the also brush outside drawing of an example of expression 360 degree type toothbrushes.
This 360 degree type toothbrush comprises the brush that is combined into by 2 kinds of radial bristle 1E, 1F.One of them radial bristle 1E is for adopting the major diameter hard bristle of the filamentary material of slightly growing, and another radial bristle is for adopting the soft bristle of minor diameter of the filamentary material of carefully lacking.Alternately with they combinations, form brush, thus, this brush is located for the inboard that the hair end can be arrived well between cog, terminal molar especially etc., and to gum, the massage effect in oral cavity is good.It is hard that its reason is to arrive the long filamentary material of the inboard of between cog, terminal molar etc. locating, the filamentary material softness of lacking that contact with gum, oral cavity.In addition, by adopting thicker filamentary material and thinner filamentary material simultaneously, hardness can be adjusted to and the corresponding brush hardness of the state of inside, oral cavity, gum.
Figure 15 is the also brush outside drawing of an example of expression 360 degree type toothbrushes.
In this 360 degree type toothbrush, the brush cylindraceous that is overlapped into by radial bristle 1 is follows the taper that reduces gradually towards the leading section external diameter from base end part.Such brush can form in the stage of final outside cutting.In addition, can correctly scrub,, then promptly be used in pet, be still effectively if increase the diameter of filamentary material until terminal molar place.
Here, thickness and the bristle diameter to the filamentary material in the radial bristle of the present invention describes.The diameter of the common filamentary material that toothbrush adopted is usually in the scope of 0.15~0.2mm.This situation in 360 degree type toothbrushes of the present invention, when by one of them side of toothbrush tooth being scrubbed, by the another side, rubs to oral mucosa relatively.Thus, than the thin filamentary material of diameter in the scope of 0.08~0.14mm of the common filamentary material that toothbrush adopted, preferably as the filamentary material in the radial bristle of the present invention.More particularly, in the brush of common hardness, be fit to adopt the filamentary material of diameter in the scope of 0.11~0.14mm, for the brush that flexibly contacts gum, oral cavity, be fit to adopt the filamentary material of its diameter in the scope of 0.08~0.10mm, aforesaid thicker filamentary material is the former, and thinner filamentary material is the latter.
For bristle diameter, from the aspect of usability, scrubbing property etc., its diameter is identical with the diameter of the head of common toothbrush, and this diameter is adapted in the scope of 15~18mm.Be mixed with the occasion of the brush of short minor diameter bristle of long major diameter bristle of filamentary material and filamentary material in brush portion, the diameter of major diameter bristle is equivalent to common diameter, and the diameter of minor diameter bristle is suitably for 0.8~0.95 times of common diameter.If the footpath here is poor little, then provide the meaning of diameter difference to reduce.In the excessive occasion of diameter difference, short filamentary material does not contact gum.Be equally in the brush portion of a radial bristle that be mixed with the long filamentary material and the occasion of short filamentary material, people wish to have the silk length difference that meets this diameter difference.
Figure 16~Figure 18 represents the automatic manufacturing equipment of 360 degree type toothbrushes, and Figure 16 represents the brush holder feedway, and Figure 17 represents the stacked device of the manufacturing of radial bristle, and Figure 18 represents the fixture of radial bristle.
This 360 degree type toothbrush manufacturing equipment comprises brush holder feedway shown in Figure 16, the stacked device of the manufacturing of radial bristle shown in Figure 17, and the fixture of radial bristle shown in Figure 180.
Brush holder feedway (Figure 16) comprises supply equipment people 21.This supply equipment people 21 comprises the position perpendicular axis of rotation 22 eccentric with relative revolution center.A plurality of supply arms 23 are set in the bottom of this axis of rotation 22.This supply equipment people 21 passes through revolution motion, a plurality of supply arms 23 are moved on to brush supply unit 24, simultaneously a plurality of brush holders 14 are carried out clamping by a plurality of supply arms 23, then it is turned back to the position of the stacked device of manufacturing of radial bristle, here, make a plurality of supply arm 23 rotations, thus, respectively a plurality of brush holders 14 are handed to many and made stacked device.
The stacked device of the manufacturing of corresponding radial bristle (Figure 17) comprises the turntable 25 of level.Turntable 25 is set on the carriage 26, and the driving body 27 by the below rotates driving.On the surface of turntable 25, the clamping pivot is installed 2 processing beds 6,6.The rotation of 2 processing bed 6,6 accompanying rotation platforms 25, circulation is moved between bristle manufacturing position and bristle stowed position.Make the position at bristle, deposited 5 and lifting chuck 28 are provided with according to the mode of clamping turntable 25, and in the bristle stowed position, spindle clamp tool 29 is provided with according to the mode of the top side that is positioned at turntable 25.Spindle clamp tool 29 according to front end below the brush holder 14 delivered from above-mentioned brush holder feedway of mode clamping, make its lifting.
In operation task, make the position at bristle and make radial bristle 1 by pieces 4.Manufacture method is identical with aforesaid method in fact, by lifting chuck 28 make pieces 4 according to the rules length on processing bed 6, expose, then, deposited 5 descends, and makes the radial bristle 1 that has projection on processing bed 6.If make the position at bristle, on processing bed 6, make radial bristle 1, the pieces 4 that then will run through turntable 25 and machine table 6 is withdrawing downwards temporarily, arrives the drop point shown in the label 4B.In addition, turntable 25 rotations move to the bristle stowed position until this processing bed 6.At this moment, the radial bristle of having made 1 is positioned on the processing bed 6, and the lug boss (circular protrusion 3) that is formed at the bottom surface of melt-coating part 2 helps the raising of the positioning and fixing of radial bristle 1, stability.
If radial bristle 1 is sent to the bristle stowed position, then spindle clamp tool 29 descends, and keeps the leading section of brush holder 14 thereon to insert the radial bristle of processing on the bed 61.If this release, then turntable 25 rotates once more, will process bed 6 and turn back to bristle manufacturing position from the bristle stowed position, the radial bristle of making 1 is made the position from bristle be transported to the bristle stowed position.By carrying out this operation repeatedly, the radial bristle 1 of specified quantity embeds in the brush holder 14.
If in the bristle stowed position, the radial bristle 1 of specified quantity embeds in the brush holder 14, then this brush holder 14 is handed to the fixture (Figure 18) of radial bristle.Specifically, brush holder 14 is handed to the lifting chuck 30 of fixture.This lifting chuck 30 according to leading section below mode keep finishing the brush holder 14 of the installation of radial bristle 1, driven by lifting by driving cylinder 31.Be provided with deposited 32 on the next door of driving cylinder 31, cladding machine 15 is installed thereon.In addition, because of the decline of lifting chuck 30, the front end face of brush holder 14 presses on the cladding machine 15 of below, will process slightlyer near this front end face, thus, and at the radial bristle 1 of the leading section fixed gauge determined number of brush holder 14.
By carrying out this a series of operation repeatedly, automatically and efficiently be manufactured on the 360 degree type toothbrushes that leading section has the brush cylindraceous that the radial bristle 1 with specified quantity is overlapped into.
The brush cylindraceous that is overlapped into by the radial bristle 1 of specified quantity can be by forming one by deposited mode in the mode that inner peripheral surface forms projection.If form the structure that the integrated cylinder brush of this male-type inserts the leading section of brush holder, then constitute the 360 degree type toothbrushes of remodeling first watch.
If in filamentary material, sneak into abrasive particulate material with antibacterial action, make radial bristle, then constitute antibacterial toothbrush.
The intensity of the integrated cylinder brush of male-type is very high.Compare with each occasion of common planting the wool type rotating brush, have a radial bristle of projection, in table 1, provide the result of this tension test.Have the also abundant height of intensity of the radial bristle of projection, still, the intensity of the integrated cylinder brush of male-type is higher.
