Abstract
The present invention relates to an electric toothbrush, and more particularly, to an electric toothbrush which includes a toothbrush body having a power supply unit built therein, a driving motor that receives power from the power supply unit and rotates the driving shaft, and a toothbrush handle coupled to the toothbrush body, In the toothbrush, the toothbrush handle is rotatably mounted on the toothbrush body, a bearing member is provided between the toothbrush handle and the toothbrush body, and an elastic member is connected between the toothbrush handle and the toothbrush body. The toothbrush body is rotated with respect to the toothbrush body to move back to the toothbrush body by applying a restoring force to the toothbrush body.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a power toothbrush, and more particularly, to a power toothbrush capable of easily removing foreign matter in a mouth using motor power.
In general, various devices have been developed for oral health, and electric toothbrush is one of them.
By using a motor to rotate the bristles several times per minute, the electric toothbrush can perform much more brushing than when the user directly wipes his teeth.
Therefore, it is possible to easily remove foreign substances and calculus adhered to the teeth easily.
1, a conventional electric toothbrush disclosed in Registration Practical Utility Model No. 0403315 has a user's intention to perform brushing on the tooth surface, One of the two
Further, in the conventional electric toothbrush, the
In addition, since the
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a toothbrush capable of uniformly distributing force to tooth surfaces or skin tissues.
Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily remove foreign matter caught in a tooth gap by using bristles of a shape having excellent scrubbing property.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a toothbrush device and a toothbrush which are configured such that only a driving shaft connected to a toothbrush body by a driving motor rotates and a driving shaft connected to the toothbrush holder is stopped, To be reduced significantly.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a powered toothbrush comprising: a toothbrush body having a power supply unit built therein; a driving motor for receiving power from the power supply unit and rotating the driving shaft; An electric toothbrush comprising an attached toothbrush body,
Wherein the toothbrush body is rotatably mounted on the toothbrush body, a bearing member is provided between the toothbrush body and the toothbrush body,
And an elastic member is connected between the toothbrush body and the toothbrush body.
The elastic member is composed of an annular ring portion fixed to the toothbrush body and an elastic extension piece having one end fixed to the annular ring portion and the other end fixed to the toothbrush handle.
And the elastic extension member is composed of a thin metal piece and is wound around the annular ring portion and then extends toward the brush portion at positions facing each other about the annular ring portion.
The inner circumferential surface of the annular ring portion is formed with a fitting groove and the outer surface of the toothbrush body is formed with a fitting protrusion so that the fitting protrusion and the fitting groove are not rotated relative to each other when the fitting protrusion and the fitting groove are engaged.
Wherein a plurality of receiving holes are formed along the circumferential direction of the toothbrush holder, a ball constituting the bearing member is inserted from the outside of the receiving hole, the toothbrush handle is wrapped by a cylindrical leaf spring having a shape cut in the longitudinal direction,
The receiving hole has a cross-sectional area that decreases toward the hollow side of the toothbrush body to prevent the ball from falling into the hollow of the toothbrush body.
Wherein the drive shaft has a structure in which a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft are separated from each other,
The toothbrush body is provided with a first driving shaft connected to the driving motor and protruding in the longitudinal direction from an end of the toothbrush body, a first rotor shaft having a polygonal columnar shape is connected to one end in the longitudinal direction of the first driving shaft, A second driving shaft is received in the toothbrush handle, a second rotor shaft having a polygonal columnar shape is formed at the other end of the second driving shaft, and a hollow having a polygonal columnar shape for receiving the first rotor shaft and the second rotor shaft inside And a connecting cylinder.
And a plurality of cut-away portions spaced along the circumferential direction are formed on the circumferential surface of the first rotor shaft of the connecting cylinder.
And a contact protruding portion is formed at the free end of the cutout portion so as to protrude toward the inside of the connecting cylinder.
The bristles are equally spaced along the periphery of the bristle shaft and are spirally formed along the longitudinal direction of the bristle shaft.
According to the electric toothbrush of the present invention as described above, a pair of sole housed in the toothbrush socket can uniformly distribute the force to the upper teeth and the lower teeth, thereby improving the cleaning performance as well as the brushing performance .
In addition, a plurality of bristles arranged in a spiral shape on one sole part are effective to remove foreign matter sandwiched between gaps between the teeth and the tooth smoothly while continuously rotating along the bristles and tooth surfaces corresponding to each other.
In addition, when wiping the skin tissue in the oral cavity, when the skin tissue accidentally rubs between the bristles between the bristles, only the driving shaft rotates within the toothbrush body, and the driving shaft housed in the toothbrush body is stopped, thereby remarkably reducing the scarring of the skin tissue .
