Description

  The present invention relates to a toothbrush structure, and more particularly to a toothbrush structure in which a tooth is irradiated with a light beam emitted from the toothbrush, a plaque on the tooth causes a fluorescence reaction, and a user can see a plaque showing a portion that needs to be specifically polished through a mirror. .

  The teeth that are lined up in white are something that everyone rubs. In order to keep the mouth clean, in addition to maintaining personal hygiene habits, social manners must always be aware of the odor from the oral cavity. A substance that adheres to the surface of a tooth is called plaque because it contains a mixture of foods such as scum, germs, camellia, and epithelial cells taken in the mouth. Plaque is a complete organism and has a strong force to adhere to the tooth surface and is difficult to remove. Plaque is one of the important factors that cause oral diseases. For example, some plaques release acidic substances and attack the dental surface quality (enamel). At first, the tooth becomes dull, and as time goes on, it becomes decayed. The main purpose of tooth brushing is to remove plaque, and at the same time, clean food residue on the tooth surface and apply ingredients such as fluorine contained in toothpaste to the tooth surface to prevent tooth decay.

  It is very important to get a habit of brushing your teeth every day, and how to brush your teeth and how to move them must be trained from an early age. However, there is no reason to know if the plaque has been removed neatly with every toothpaste. Currently, plaque stains are used to check for plaque.

  There are two general uses of plaque stains. The first method is to hang 3-5 drops of plaque stain on a cotton swab, apply evenly to teeth and gums, gargle with water after 10 seconds, and exhale together. The second use is to put 5-8 drops of plaque stain in about 8 cc of water, then gargle and exhale several times. Use a mirror to check the tooth surface for pink or red spots. The discolored area indicates that the plaque is present, so it can be seen that the teeth are not well-polished, and the stain and plaque on it are thoroughly removed with a toothbrush. Therefore, if plaque stain is used, the teeth can be objectively polished thoroughly to see if the plaque is removed.

  If the above plaque stain is used, it is possible to observe the stained plaque, but since there is a red food pigment in the component, the mucous membrane in the mouth also becomes pink and even the lips are stained after use. In view of the fact that it takes time to disappear and it is not suitable for going out immediately after use or talking with others, further improvement was necessary.

  In order to solve the drawbacks of the known structure, the present invention combines a check light source with a toothbrush, and the plaque adhering to the tooth exhibits a fluorescent reaction when irradiated on the tooth surface. Toothbrushing after confirming the fluorescent reaction site with a mirror. If it carries out like this, the main subject will be providing the structure of the toothbrush which can avoid the inconvenient part at the time of using the conventional plaque stain, and the plaque can be seen.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a toothbrush structure in which plaque is visible. Includes one body, one check light source, one battery and one control circuit. The main body includes one head formed by a plurality of brushes and a handle for gripping. The check light source is installed in the handle portion of the main body, and the wavelength range of the check light source is 400 nm to 700 nm. The battery and the control circuit are installed in the handle portion of the main body, and the control circuit, the battery, and the check light source are electrically connected.

  The toothbrush in which the plaque is visible further includes one control switch, which is installed on one side of the body, and the control switch is electrically connected to the control circuit.

  In the toothbrush in which the plaque can be seen, the control switch is installed in the handle portion of the main body, and the control switch is installed in the same direction as the brush on the head.

  In the toothbrush in which the plaque can be seen, the check light source is installed at the end of the handle portion of the main body.

  The main body of the toothbrush in which the plaque can be seen is a general toothbrush or an electric toothbrush.

  With the structure of the present invention, it is possible to easily brush the teeth after confirming the position of the plaque without dyeing the inside and outside of the mouth.

It is the solid schematic of this invention. It is a use condition schematic of this invention. It is a use condition schematic of this invention. 4 is a schematic view illustrating a check light source of the present invention positioned around a handle portion. It is the solid schematic which applied this invention to the electric toothbrush. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a check light source of the present invention positioned around an electric toothbrush.

  Hereinafter, the structure, features, and effects of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the best embodiments and drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the toothbrush in which the plaque of the present invention shown in the figure can be seen includes one main body 1, one check light source 2, one battery 3, and one control circuit 4.

  Included in the main body 1 are one head 12 formed by a plurality of brushes 11 and a handle 13 for holding and holding. The main body 1 has an elongated shape and a non-circular cross section. The main body 1 shown in the diagram is a typical toothbrush, and the brushes 11 are arranged in a rectangular shape.

  The check light source 2 is installed on the handle 13 of the main body 1, and the wavelength range emitted by the check light source 2 is 400 nm to 700 nm. The check light source 2 of the present embodiment uses a light emitting diode (LED).

  The battery 3 and the control circuit 4 are installed in the handle portion 13 of the main body 1, and the control circuit 4, the battery 3 and the check light source 2 are electrically connected. The battery 3 provides operating power for the control circuit 4 and the check light source 2.

  The present invention irradiates the check light source 2 in the main body 1 toward the teeth in the oral cavity simply by holding the main body 1 in the hand due to the characteristics of the structural technology. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the teeth on the oral cavity are irradiated. Irradiate one tooth at a time, or select and irradiate a local part (one tooth). A plaque reacts with the teeth and causes a fluorescent reaction. Use a mirror to identify teeth that have a fluorescent reaction and then brush them. In this way, it is possible to confirm whether the plaque on the teeth has been removed neatly even without touching the oral cavity.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the toothbrush where the plaque is visible further includes one control switch 5 (the control switch of the embodiment can be a touch type or a push type), and is installed on one side of the main body 1; The control switch 5 is electrically connected to the control circuit 4. After the control switch 5 is operated by the user, the check light source 2 is further turned on and off through the control circuit 4 so that the user can determine the usage time and reduce the situation of consuming electricity when not in use. it can. The control switch 5 is installed in the handle 13 of the main body 1, and the control switch is installed in the same direction as the brush 11 of the head 12.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the check light source 2 is installed at the end of the handle portion 13 of the main body 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the check light source 2 can be further installed around the handle portion 13 of the main body 1.

  The main body shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 of the present invention uses a general toothbrush as an example. Moreover, the toothbrush with which the plaque of this invention can be seen can utilize a main body in the form of an electric toothbrush, as shown in FIG. Similarly, the check light source 2 is located at the end position of the handle portion 13 of the main body 1. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the check light source 2 can be installed around the handle portion 13 of the main body 1.

  The detailed description of the present invention according to the above embodiments does not limit the scope of the present invention. Even if a person familiar with the present technology makes changes or adjustments within the scope of the present invention, the important significance of the present invention is not lost and is included in the scope of the present invention.
