본 발명은 기능성 칫솔에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하기로는 치아 사이의 침투력과 치아 표면의 세척력이 향상된 기능성 칫솔에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a functional toothbrush, and more particularly, to a functional toothbrush with improved penetration between teeth and cleaning power of the tooth surface.

종래의 칫솔은 도1과 같이 칫솔의 두부에 형성된 작은 원형의 홀에 1군씩 식모되는 것이 일반적이었다. 그러나 이러한 칫솔은 생산성과 양치효과가 떨어지고 외관이 미려하지 못하여 최근에는 도2와 같이 세로 방향으로 긴 사각형의 홀에 1군씩 칫솔모가 식모된 칫솔(이하, "선행기술 1"로 칭함)이 등장하였다.Conventional toothbrushes are generally planted one group at a small circular hole formed in the head of the toothbrush as shown in FIG. However, these toothbrushes are inferior in productivity and brushing effect, and are not beautiful in appearance. Recently, toothbrushes in which the bristles are implanted into a long rectangular hole in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 2 (hereinafter, referred to as "prior art 1") have appeared. .

이러한 칫솔의 이점은 1홀에 상대적으로 많은 수의 칫솔모가 식모되므로 생산성과 치아 표면의 세척효과가 좋을 뿐만 아니라, 그 외관이 단정하고 정돈된 느낌을 주어서 소비자들이 선호하고 있다. 그러나 종래의 설비로는 이와 같은 형태의 칫솔을 제조할 수 없다는 문제점이 있다. 그 이유는 종래의 통상적인 칫솔의 제조방법은 직경 약 1.6mm 정도의 작은 원형의 홀에 칫솔모를 삽입한 다음 1개의 지지핀으로 칫솔모를 고정시키는 방법이며, 이러한 칫솔을 제조하기 위한 설비로는 홀의 크기가 훨씬 큰 선행기술 1과 같은 칫솔을 제조할 수 없는 것이다.The advantage of such a toothbrush is that since a relatively large number of bristles are planted in one hole, not only the productivity and the cleaning effect of the tooth surface are good, but also the appearance is neat and tidy and is favored by consumers. However, there is a problem in that conventional toothbrush can not manufacture this type of toothbrush. The reason is that the conventional toothbrush manufacturing method is to insert the bristles in a small circular hole of about 1.6mm in diameter and then fix the bristles with one support pin. It is not possible to manufacture toothbrushes such as prior art 1 which are much larger in size.

또한, 이러한 형태의 칫솔은 도2와 같이 식모된 각 군의 칫솔모가 세로로 길게 늘어 선 형태이므로 치아 표면의 세척력은 비교적 우수하지만 치아 사이의 침투력은 부족하여 치아 건강에 나쁜 영향을 미치는 문제점을 가지고 있다.In addition, the toothbrush of this type has a problem that the toothbrushes of each group planted as shown in Figure 2 is long vertically arranged so that the cleaning power of the tooth surface is relatively excellent, but the penetration force between the teeth is insufficient, which adversely affects dental health. have.

이에 대하여 좀 더 상세히 설명하면, 음식물 찌꺼기는 치아 표면에도 부착되 지만 치아 사이 또는 치아와 잇몸 사이에 많이 끼게 된다. 실제로 구취 또는 치아를 손상시키는 충치나 풍치는 주로 치아 사이에 끼인 음식물 찌꺼기가 주원인이 되고 있다.In more detail about this, the food residue is attached to the surface of the tooth but is sandwiched a lot between the teeth or between the teeth and gums. In fact, bad breath or tooth decay or tooth decay is mainly caused by food waste sandwiched between the teeth.

그런데, 칫솔질은 위 아래로 하는 것이 올바른 방법이며, 이런 방법으로 칫솔질을 할 경우 선행기술 1의 칫솔은 식모된 각 군의 칫솔모가 세로로 길게 늘어 선 형태여서 치아 사이의 좁은 공간에 침투하기가 어렵게 구성된 것이다. 또한 선행기술 1의 칫솔을 사용하여 칫솔질을 위 아래 방향으로 하지 않고, 좌우 방향으로 장기간 할 경우에는 문제는 더욱 심각하여 치아 표면의 법랑질이 손상되어 치아 표면에 수평의 줄이 형성되기 쉽다. 그 이유는 식모된 각 군의 칫솔모가 모두 세로로 길게 배열되어 이 방향의 세척력 또는 연마력이 휠씬 강하기 때문이다.By the way, brushing up and down is the correct way, and when brushing in this way, the toothbrush of the prior art 1 has a long vertical line of bristles of each group that is planted so that it is difficult to penetrate into the narrow space between the teeth It is composed. In addition, if the toothbrush of the prior art 1 is not brushed up and down in the left and right direction for a long time in the left and right direction, the problem is more serious, the enamel on the surface of the tooth is damaged easily to form a horizontal line on the tooth surface. The reason is that the bristles of each group that have been planted are all vertically arranged so that the washing or polishing force in this direction is much stronger.

또한, 선행기술 1의 칫솔은 칫솔대에 심을 홀 수에 맞추어 롤에 감겨진 길이가 수천 미터의 모노필라멘트를 제조하고자 하는 형태의 사출금형에다 정렬시키고 방적기로 원단을 직조하듯이 식모함과 동시에 식모된 칫솔모가 칫솔대와 일체화되도록 사출성형하는 공정으로 제조되기 때문에 길이가 35mm 이하인 침상모를 식모하는 것이 근본적으로 불가능하다는 문제점도 가지고 있다.In addition, the toothbrush of the prior art 1 is aligned with the injection mold of the shape to be produced thousands of meters of monofilament wound on the roll in accordance with the number of holes to be planted in the toothbrush rod and planted at the same time as weaving fabric with a spinning machine Since the bristles are manufactured by a process of injection molding so that the bristles are integrated with the toothbrush rods, there is a problem that it is fundamentally impossible to plant the needles having a length of 35 mm or less.

이 외에 선행기술 1의 칫솔은 끝이 뾰족한 침상모가 사용되지 아니하고 일반모가 사용되므로 치아 사이 및 치아와 잇몸의 경계면인 치주 포켓트 속으로의 침투가 어렵다는 문제점도 아울러 가지고 있다.In addition, the toothbrush of the prior art 1 has a problem that it is difficult to penetrate into the periodontal pocket, which is the interface between the teeth and the interface between the teeth and the gums, since the pointed needle hair is not used and the general hair is used.

이러한 문제점을 해결한 기술로는 본 발명자에 의한 한국 특허출원 제2001-24978호(이하, "선행기술 2"로 칭함)를 들 수 있다. 선행기술 2의 칫솔은 칫솔대(10)의 두부(11) 외측에는 세로 방향으로 긴 복수개의 홀(1)에 침상모(3)가 식모되며, 칫솔대(10)의 두부(11) 내측에는 가로 방향으로 긴 복수 개의 홀(1')에 침상모(3)가 식모된 것으로 구성되며(도3 참조), 선행기술 2의 제조방법은 칫솔대(10)의 두부(11) 외측에는 세로 방향으로 긴 복수 개의 직사각형 홀(1)을 형성하고, 두부 내측에는 가로 방향으로 긴 복수개의 직사각형 홀(1')을 형성한 다음, 침상모(3)를 각 홀(1, 1')에 삽입하고 장형의 지지핀(2)으로 침상모(3)를 고정시킨 후, 식모된 침상모의 불균일한 끝 부분을 절단하고 그라인딩 가공하는 것으로 구성된다.As a technique for solving such a problem, Korean Patent Application No. 2001-24978 (hereinafter referred to as "prior art 2") by the present inventors is mentioned. The toothbrush of the prior art 2 is a needle (3) is implanted in a plurality of holes (1) longitudinally long outside the head 11 of the toothbrush pole 10, the horizontal direction inside the head 11 of the toothbrush pole (10) It consists of a needle (3) is planted in a plurality of long holes (1 ') (see Figure 3), the manufacturing method of the prior art 2 is a plurality of longitudinally long outside the head 11 of the toothbrush pole 10 Rectangular holes 1 are formed, and a plurality of rectangular holes 1 'elongated in the transverse direction are formed inside the head, and the needle-like hair 3 is inserted into each of the holes 1 and 1', and a long support is formed. After fixing the needle-like hair 3 with the pin 2, it consists of cutting and grinding the uneven end part of the planted needle-like hair.

선행기술 2에 의하여 선행기술 1의 문제점은 대부분 해결되었다. 그러나 선행기술 2는 비교적 큰 홀에 모가 식모됨으로써 식모된 모의 길이가 불균일하여 별도로 절단 및 그라인딩 등의 후처리 공정이 필요하다는 문제점과, 양치효율 및 침투력과 세척력이 다소 부족하다는 문제점을 가지고 있다.By the prior art 2, the problems of the prior art 1 have been mostly solved. However, the prior art 2 has a problem that the post-treatment process such as cutting and grinding is necessary separately because of the uneven length of the seeded hair by transplanting the hair into a relatively large hole, and the problem that the brushing efficiency and penetration and washing power is somewhat insufficient.

본 발명은 상기 선행기술 2의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 별도의 후처리 공정이 불필요한 칫솔모가 교차 식모된 칫솔을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 발명의 다른 목적은 치아와 치아 사이 및 치아와 잇몸 사이의 양치효율 및 침투력과 치아 표면의 세척력이 보다 향상된 칫솔모가 교차 식모된 칫솔을 제공하는 것이다. 본 발명의 또 다른 목적은 불량율이 감소되고 생산성이 향상된 칫솔모가 교차 식모된 칫솔의 제조방법을 제공하는 것이다.
The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art 2, and an object of the present invention is to provide a toothbrush cross-planted bristle without a separate post-treatment process. Another object of the present invention is to provide a toothbrush cross-planted bristle with improved brushing efficiency and penetration between teeth and teeth and between teeth and gums and the cleaning power of the tooth surface. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a toothbrush in which the bristle rate is reduced and the productivity is improved.

본 발명의 칫솔은 칫솔대(10)의 두부(11) 외측에는 세로 방향으로 긴 홀(1)에 침상모(3)가 식모된 군이 세로 방향으로 배열되며, 칫솔대(10)의 두부(11) 내측에는 가로 방향으로 긴 홀(1')에 침상모(3)가 식모된 군이 가로 방향으로 배열된 칫솔에 있어서, In the toothbrush of the present invention, the head 11 of the toothbrush rod 10 is arranged in a longitudinal direction with a group of the needles 3 implanted into the longitudinal hole 1 in the longitudinal direction, and the head 11 of the toothbrush rod 10. In the toothbrush in which the group by which the needle hair 3 was planted in the horizontally long hole 1 'was planted in the horizontal direction,

두부(11) 외측에 식모된 침상모(3)의 길이가 두부(11) 내측에 식모된 침상모(3)의 길이보다 1.5-3.5mm 길며, 홀(1, 1')의 형상은 타원형인 것을 특징으로 한다.The length of the needle-like hair 3 planted on the outside of the head 11 is 1.5-3.5mm longer than the length of the needle-shaped hair 3 planted on the inside of the head 11, and the shape of the holes 1 and 1 'is oval. It is characterized by.

본 발명의 칫솔의 제조방법은 칫솔대(10)의 두부(11) 외측에는 세로 방향으로 긴 홀(1)에 침상모(3)가 식모된 군을 세로 방향으로 배열시키며, 칫솔대(10)의 두부(11) 내측에는 가로 방향으로 긴 홀(1')에 침상모(3)가 식모된 군을 가로 방향으로 배열시키는 칫솔의 제조방법에 있어서, In the method of manufacturing a toothbrush of the present invention, the head 11 of the toothbrush pole 10 is arranged in a longitudinal direction with the needle hair 3 planted in the longitudinal direction in the longitudinal hole 1 in the longitudinal direction, and the head of the toothbrush pole 10. (11) In the manufacturing method of the toothbrush which arrange | positions the group by which the needle hair 3 was planted in the horizontally long hole 1 'in the horizontal direction inside,

두부(11)에 형성된 타원형의 홀(1, 1') 중의 외측의 홀(1)에는 내측의 홀(1')보다 침상모(3)를 1.5-3.5mm 길게 식모하는 것을 특징으로 한다.In the outer hole 1 of the elliptical holes 1 and 1 'formed in the head 11, the needle hair 3 is planted 1.5-3.5 mm longer than the inner hole 1'.

이하, 본 발명을 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

충치의 발생확률이 높은 어금니와 송곳니 및 사랑니의 표면은 둥근 형상이므로, 본 발명에서와 같이 두부(11) 외측에 식모되는 모를 두부 내측에 식모되는 모보다 길게 식모하게 되면 둥근 형상의 치아와 접촉 면적이 증가하게 된다. 칫솔모와 치아 표면의 접착력이 증가하게 되면 양치효율과 치아 표면의 세척력이 증가하 게 된다.Since the surface of the molars, fangs and wisdom teeth with a high probability of caries is rounded, as long as the hair that is planted on the outside of the head 11 is transplanted longer than the hair that is planted on the inside of the head as in the present invention, the contact area with the teeth of the round shape Will increase. Increasing the adhesion between the brush head and the tooth surface increases the brushing efficiency and the cleaning power of the tooth surface.

또한, 칫솔질을 상하로 할 경우에, 가로로 길게 식모된 짧은 모는 치아 사이로 원활하게 침투할 수 있고, 세로로 길게 식모된 긴 모는 치아 표면을 효과적으로 세척함과 동시에 치아와 잇몸 사이의 치주 포켓트 속으로의 침투가 원활하다. 긴 모와 짧은 모의 길이 차는 1.5-3.5mm 범위가 적절하며, 이 범위를 벗어날 경우에는 모와 치아 표면과의 접촉면적이 저하하게 된다.In addition, when brushing up and down, the long bristles that have been planted horizontally and long can penetrate smoothly, and the long bristles which have been vertically planted efficiently wash the surface of the tooth effectively and at the same time as the periodontal pocket between the teeth and the gums. Smooth penetration into The difference between the length of the long hair and the short hair is in the range of 1.5-3.5 mm, and beyond this range the area of contact between the hair and the tooth surface is reduced.

본 발명에서 '교차식모'의 의미는 정확하게 가로방향과 세로방향으로 식모되는 것은 물론, 도8 내지 도10과 같이 가로방향 또는 세로방향으로 식모되는 모 군이 가로선 또는 세로선을 기준으로 30도 이내의 각도로 지그재그형으로 식모되는 것도 포함한 의미이다. 이 각도 범위 내에서는 본 발명에서 목적하는 효과를 거둘 수 있다.In the present invention, the meaning of 'cross hair' is precisely planted in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, as well as the parent group transplanted in the horizontal or vertical direction as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 within 30 degrees based on the horizontal line or the vertical line. It also includes zigzag planting at an angle. Within this angle range, the desired effect can be achieved in the present invention.

침상모라 함은 끝 부분으로 갈수록 가늘어지는 모를 말하며, 차이와 치아 사이 또는 치아와 잇몸 사이의 치주 포켓트 속으로의 침투력이 우수하고 부드러워 최근 소비자들의 큰 호응을 받고 있는 칫솔용 모를 말한다. 그 제조방법은 끝 부분을 기계적으로 그라인딩하는 방법과 산 또는 알칼리성 약품에 끝 부분을 침적시켜 분해시키는 방법이 있다.Bed hair refers to a hair thinner toward the end, and refers to a toothbrush hair that has been very popular with consumers recently because of its softness and soft penetration into the periodontal pocket between the difference and the teeth or between the teeth and the gums. The production method is a method of mechanically grinding the tip and a method of dipping and disassembling the tip in acid or alkaline chemicals.

본 발명에서 사용되는 침상모의 끝 점 후도는 0.01-0.03mm 범위이며, 이 범위 내의 다양한 끝 점 후도를 가진 모가 혼합 사용되는 것이 더욱 바람직하다. 본 발명에서 사용되는 침상모의 테이퍼 길이는 5-12mm 의 범위이며, 역시 이 범위의 테이퍼 길이를 가진 다양한 모가 혼합되어 사용되는 것이 적절하다. 그 이유는 다 양한 끝 점과 테이퍼 길이를 가진 모가 혼합사용되면 적절한 침투력과 세척력을 발휘할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 칫솔의 수명이 연장되기 때문이다. 끝 점 후도가 상기 범위 미만의 경우에는 세척력이 저하하게 되며, 상기 범위를 초과하는 경우에는 경성이 증가하여 양치시 잇몸을 손상시킬 우려가 있다. 테이퍼 길이가 상기 범위 미만의 경우에는 경성이 지나치게 증가하게 되며, 상기 범위를 초과하는 경우에는 세척력이 저하된다.The end point thickness of the needle-shaped hair used in the present invention is in the range of 0.01-0.03 mm, and it is more preferable that a hair having various end point thicknesses within this range is mixed and used. The tapered length of the needle-shaped hair used in the present invention is in the range of 5-12 mm, and it is appropriate that various hairs having a tapered length in this range are mixed and used. The reason for this is that a combination of different end and taper lengths of hair can provide adequate penetration and cleaning as well as prolong the life of the toothbrush. If the end point thickness is less than the above range, the washing power is lowered, and if it exceeds the above range, the hardness increases, which may damage the gum when brushing teeth. When the taper length is less than the above range, the rigidity is excessively increased, and when the taper length exceeds the above range, the washing force is lowered.

도1과 같이 작은 원형의 홀에 모가 식모되는 칫솔을 제조하는 방법은 매우 간단하여 홀에 도4와 같이 칫솔모를 식모한 후 지지핀으로 고정시키면 완료된다. 이렇게 제조된 칫솔은 홀의 직경이 1.6mm 정도로 작기 때문에 지지핀으로 고정한 후 후처리를 하지 아니하여도 표면으로 돌출된 모의 길이는 비교적 일정하여 그대로 제품화된다.The method of manufacturing a toothbrush which is planted in a small circular hole as shown in FIG. 1 is very simple, and the bristles are planted as shown in FIG. The toothbrush manufactured as described above has a small diameter of about 1.6 mm, and thus the length of the hair protruding into the surface is relatively constant even after fixing with a supporting pin and without post-treatment.

선행기술 2의 모의 식모방법도 위와 같으나, 칫솔대에 형성된 홀이 크기 때문에(가로 1.0-2.0mm, 세로 3.0-4.5mm) 홀의 형상과 유사한 장형의 지지핀으로 모를 고정시켜야 하며, 이 장형의 지지핀으로 많은 수의 칫솔모를 홀에 고정할 경우에는 홀의 크기가 작은 종래 기술의 경우와는 달리, 고정된 칫솔모의 길이가 일정하지 않게 된다. 이러한 이유로 선행기술 2에서는 칫솔모를 식모한 후, 불균일하게 식모된 모의 길이를 일정하게 하기 위하여 절단공정이 추가되었으며, 또한 절단공정에 의하여 침상의 끝 부분이 제거되어 끝 부분의 후도가 커지게 되므로 다시 모를 그라인딩하여 테이퍼시키는 공정이 필요하게 되었다. 이러한 공정들이 추가됨으로써 작업성이 크게 저하될 뿐만 아니라, 절단 후 그라인딩 가공을 하더라도 식모 된 모의 끝 점 후도는 비교적 커서 부드러움이 그대로 유지되지 않는다는 문제점도 아울러 발생하게 된다.The simulation method of the prior art 2 is the same as above, but since the holes formed in the toothbrush rod are large (1.0-2.0 mm wide and 3.0-4.5 mm wide), the wool should be fixed with a long support pin similar to the shape of the hole. In the case of fixing a large number of bristles to the hole, the length of the fixed bristles is not constant, unlike in the case of the prior art in which the size of the holes is small. For this reason, in the prior art 2, after cutting the bristles, a cutting process was added to make the hair length uniformly transplanted, and the end of the needle was removed by the cutting process so that the thickness of the tip is increased. There was a need for a process of grinding and tapering the wool again. The addition of these processes not only greatly reduces the workability, but also causes the problem that the softness is not maintained as it is relatively large even after the end of the seeded wool even when grinding after cutting.

본 발명에서는 칫솔대에 타원형의 홀을 형성함으로써 상기한 바와 같은 선행기술 2의 문제점을 완전히 해결하였다. 선행기술 2에서 모의 길이가 불균일하게 식모되는 이유는 홀의 크기가 종래기술에 비하여 큰 것도 있지만 그 보다는 홀의 형상이 사각형이라는 것을 반복 실험에 의하여 밝혀내게 되었으며, 선행기술 2와 같은 크기의 홀을 형성하더라도 홀의 형상을 타원형 또는 타원형과 유사한 형태로 하게 되면 불균일 식모의 문제점이 해결될 수 있다. 타원형과 유사한 형태라 함은 도5와 같이 전체적으로 직사각형 형태이지만 모서리 부분이 라운드됨으로써 각이 없어진 형태의 것을 의미한다. 이와 같은 공정을 거쳐 얻어지는 본 발명의 칫솔의 도6과 같다.In the present invention, the problem of the prior art 2 as described above is completely solved by forming an elliptical hole in the toothbrush bar. The reason why the length of the mock-up is unevenly implanted in the prior art 2 is that the size of the hole is larger than that of the prior art, but it has been found by repeated experiments that the shape of the hole is square, and even if the hole of the same size as the prior art 2 is formed, If the shape of the hole to oval or similar to the shape of the oval can solve the problem of uneven hair. The oval-like shape means that the shape is generally rectangular as shown in FIG. 5, but the shape is eliminated by rounding corners. 6 is a toothbrush of the present invention obtained through such a process.

칫솔의 침투력을 더욱 향상시키기 위해서는 반으로 접혀져서 각 홀에 식모되는 침상모의 길이가 0.5-1.5mm 정도 차이가 나도록 식모하는 것이 바람직하다. 같은 홀에 식모된 모가 도7과 같이 좌우 편차가 나도록 식모됨으로써 동일한 높이로 식모된 것에 비하여 우수한 침투력을 발휘하게 된다.In order to further improve the penetration of the toothbrush, it is preferable to cultivate so that the length of the needle hair folded in half and planted in each hole is about 0.5-1.5 mm. As the hair seeded in the same hole is planted to have left and right deviations as shown in FIG. 7, it exhibits excellent penetrating power as compared to the hair transplanted at the same height.

본 발명의 칫솔은 종래의 칫솔에 비하여 상대적으로 큰 홀에 많은 수의 모가 동시에 식모되므로 생산성이 우수하고, 내외부의 홀에 모가 교차되도록 식모됨으로써 침투력과 세척력을 동시에 증가시킬 수 있으며, 내외부의 홀에 식모된 모의 길 이가 차이가 나도록 식모함으로써 치아와의 접촉면적을 넓혀 양치효율을 증가시킬 수 있다. 또한 홀을 타원형으로 구성함으로써 상대적으로 큰 홀에 다수 개의 모가 식모되더라도 식모된 모의 길이가 전체적으로 불균일하게 식모되는 문제점을 해결함으로써 종래기술의 가장 큰 문제점인 식모 후 절단 및 그라인딩 공정을 추가하여야 하는 문제점을 근본적으로 해결할 수 있게 되었다.The toothbrush of the present invention is more productive because a large number of hairs are planted at the same time in a relatively large hole compared to a conventional toothbrush, and productivity can be increased, and the penetration and washing power can be simultaneously increased by being planted so that the hairs intersect the inside and outside holes. By planting the seedlings to be different in length, the tooth contact efficiency can be increased by increasing the contact area with the teeth. In addition, by configuring the hole in an elliptical shape, even though a plurality of hairs are planted in a relatively large hole, the length of the hairs that are planted is unevenly planted as a whole, thereby solving the problem of cutting and grinding processes, which is the biggest problem of the related art. The solution is fundamental.
