DE202007003791U1 - Dental care device, has rotatably supported brushes integrated in mouth and teeth, where brush lines are provided on inner side of two profile parts and brushes are shifted in rotation by motor for dental care - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has rotatably supported brushes (2) integrated in mouth and teeth. Brush lines (1) are provided on the inner side of two profile parts. The tooth rotates at the interface of both profile parts. The brushes are shifted in rotation by a motor for the purpose of dental care. A frame is provided for the upper or lower jaws. A pump and a nozzle are provided for additional massage of the gums.

Description

The The invention relates to a device for automatic dental care.

to Time will be for the cleaning of teeth mainly Toothbrushes used electrically operated or by hand the rows of teeth guided along Need to become. (Stand 28.022007)

The Problem with the currently applied plastering technique is that that only small areas can clean at the same time. The length and thoroughness the cleaning process is different at the different tooth surfaces, what cause it can that individual surfaces received little or no care.

With the invention should be possible be that all teeth at the same time, while cleaned throughout the period of the cleaning process in constant quality become.

This Problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.

The particular advantages of the invention are When using my system, all teeth are simultaneously cleaned by brushing and once the system is put into the mouth no longer like a toothbrush there and has to be moved. This leads to a more thorough Care in a short time.

The Invention is that in a mouth and dentures Shape, several rotatable mounted brushes so arranged in the direction of the rows of teeth are that this brush, driven by a motor, come to a rotation. When the brush row Rotate through the motor driven, all sides of the tooth Teeth (inside, Outside, tooth crown) cleaned at the same time. The power is transmitted from the engine to the brush shafts.

When Light version is also possible a half-sided version, at then either all teeth of Upper or lower jaw cleaned at the same time.

Of the Motor and the battery are in the device integrated, the device offers, for example, in the grip area the possibilities for technical Extensions.

introduction

The The exhibit presented by me is a device which is the most thorough Cleaning teeth serves.

Of the Advantage of this device across from All tooth cleaning systems available on the market are: that you can brush your teeth brush no longer about yourself the individual sides of the teeth to lead must, but in one operation all teeth automatically the same Maintained care.

The principle

Similar to one Car wash are rotating brushes so in a bite-sized Form arranged so that they reach all teeth simultaneously.

By clenching the teeth can the brush pressure be varied. The brushes are over one System of waves and ribbons connected to a drive motor, by which they are moved so that the brushing always in the direction of the tooth root to the tooth tip he follows.

The advantages

Of the Advantage of my system is the time savings and thoroughness during daily brushing. Furthermore It is convenient and easy to use and with the toothbrush times slip off and injure the gums is no longer in it.

To illustrate the thoroughness and time savings in the right proportions, here is a small sample calculation:
On average, humans have 28 teeth in their teeth. I assume that with a conventional toothbrush only one side of 3 teeth can be cleaned at the same time. But since we have to clean the front, back and the occlusal surface of the teeth, we come to the following truth with a recommended cleaning time of 180 seconds.

180 Sek .: (28: 3 × 3) = 6.4 sec. (28 teeth: 3 Teeth at the same time × 3 pages) That's just us 6.4 sec. Take time for the care of a tooth. This means in reverse that I, when I use my system in 6.4 seconds, the same cleaning effect for all Teeth at the same time achieved! And this even more even than with the manual toothbrush !!

The problems

The disadvantage of the system is that not every bit is the same. Just as people are of different sizes and are shaped differently, so too is their dentition. To solve this problem, I thought up the following:
As with shoe or textile purchases, the system is available in different sizes (eg S, M, L, XL). So that the buyer knows whether and, if so, which size is the right one for him, there is a bite-sized wax paper printed with the size information on which the bite impression is printed after biting. Now you can see if one of the offered sizes fits, or if one must continue to use the toothbrush.

Another problem is the distribution of toothpaste on the brushes of the system. Also my ideas:
If I spread the toothpaste on my system as before, I would soon be poor or my mouth would close. That's why in the first step, self-help would work, and a small, smaller-diameter plastic attachment would make the toothpaste sausage thinner and longer, so that the same amount can be applied to the entire length of the middle or upper brush and spread out from there

in the second quilt could A toothpaste can be made to look like cream or shaving cream can be applied from a tube volume rich. Or you try it with liquid toothpaste.

The conclusion

My Invention is a daily habit to have taken a closer look and the way our today's teeth brushing not only questioned, but a possibility to have recorded this more effectively.

The system

construction

To 1

The system consists of 2 profile parts on the inside of each 2 brush lines ( 1 ) are located. At the interface of the two profile parts in the area of the bite of the teeth rotates another brush ( 2 ) The profile parts ( 3 ) are shaped so that they are smooth on the outside to prevent injuries to tongue or mouth walls, inside they are shaped so that they leave the brushes on the one hand space for rotation and at the same time form a splash guard.

To 2

There is a handle on the front of the system that holds the system out of the oral cavity as it is inserted and removed. In this grip are the power supply ( 1 ), the drive motor ( 2 ), as well as a button ( 3 ), which, as long as he is pressed, the engine powered. By means of bands ( 4 ), Straps and shafts, the force is then placed on the brushes.

The Power supply consists of a battery, which is in a charging cradle can be recharged after use.

function

To 3

Of the Motor drives a wave from which all the brushes in the system get their energy receive. For this purpose, wheels are mounted on the axles at different points over the then bands run and transmit the power from wave to wave. Because the shaft material is rigid, but the force has to be transmitted in the semicircle the parts of the drive shaft by means of ball coupling with each other connected.

To 4 u. 5

The drive shaft ( 1 ) transmits in the image the force by means of bands on the brush shaft ( 2 ; 3 )

The brushes get their power from the drive shaft. However, the direction of movement of the brushes should be such that the cleaning direction takes place everywhere from the tooth root to the tooth tip. To achieve this, I have the drive belts run over pulleys as in the sketch. In order to avoid rubbing at the intersections of the bands, I used tubes to pass the bands past each other.
