Description

LED TOOTHBRUSH < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to an LED electric toothbrush for effective tooth cleaning by reducing gum infection and whitening effect using a beam of 420 nm LED and fine vibration. In addition, titanium dioxide is added to the bristles to provide an oral bactericidal action by photocatalyst when an LED beam of 420 nm is irradiated.

Generally, a toothbrush used for removing food residue, plaque, and calculus which are caught between teeth after eating food has played an important role in preventing tooth decay, periodontal disease and gingivitis as an oral hygiene appliance.

However, internal teeth that are difficult to brush easily can not be wiped cleanly, so that cavities are easily formed and periodontal disease occurs due to the deposition of calculus.

In addition, since the user moves the bristles vertically, horizontally, and rightwardly, the teeth are wiped, which has a problem of wiping the teeth within a short period of time.

In addition, a physically weak young person or an elderly person has a problem of consuming the physical strength relatively to brush the teeth for a few minutes.

In order to solve this problem, Registration No. 10-0999270 attempts to solve the above problem by providing a flat vibration motor between the toothbrush plate on which the bristles are planted and the toothbrush head, and directly vibrating the bristles on the lower portion of the toothbrush plate.

However, in the modern society, whitening of teeth is one of the important factors of the first impression, so many people are interested in whitening teeth, and there is a problem that it is difficult to completely decompose germs and toxins in the mouth by brushing teeth.

The specific structure or functional description presented in the embodiment of the present invention is merely illustrative for the purpose of illustrating an embodiment according to the concept of the present invention, and embodiments according to the concept of the present invention can be implemented in various forms. And should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3, the whitening LED electric toothbrush includes a body part 200 and a head part 100.

The body part 200 has a conical shape which is easy to grasp and includes a light generating part 210 for converting electron energy into light energy, a light irradiating part 220 for emitting light energy of the light generating part 210, And a switch 240 for supplying or cutting off the electron energy to the light generating unit 210 and the vibration motor 230. The vibration generating unit 210 may be a microcomputer.

The light generating unit 210 may have various effects due to a change in wavelength. It has excellent germicidal effect in the range of 255-280nm, and excellent effect in tooth whitening and photocatalytic sterilization in the range of 380-400nm.

The light irradiating unit 220 can transmit the light generated by the light generating unit 210 to the head 100 or directly irradiate a desired site in the oral cavity to use a sterilizing effect and a tooth whitening effect.

At this time, a protective cover (not shown) may be further provided on the upper part of the body part 200 to protect foreign matter and water from entering through the light irradiation part 220.

The switch 240 may not be protruded to the outside of the cosmetic body as a human body detection sensor, but there may be a predetermined indicator (not shown) indicating the position of the human body detection sensor. When the switch is touched, the power is turned on, light enters the light irradiating unit 220, and when the switch 240 is wound, the vibration motor 230 operates to cause vibration.

Further, when there is no human body contact with the switch 240, the power is turned off. For example, when the body 200 is placed on the floor, the power is turned off, the light is turned off, and the vibration stops.

The vibration motor 230 does not feel discomfort to the user with a fine vibration of 12,000 rpm and is suitable for effectively removing the plaque between the gum and the tooth.

Preferably, the upper end of the body part 200 further includes a hole through which the light of the light irradiation part 220 passes and which is coupled with the head part 100.

Preferably, a lid 260 for replacing the battery 250 is further included at the lower end of the body part 200. The lid 260 is made of a female thread and is screwed with a male thread of the body part 200 to easily replace the battery 250 and prevent it from being separated.

The head part 100 includes a bristles 110 made of a transparent resin for enhancing the transmission efficiency of light energy and capable of increasing sterilizing power by photosynthesis with light energy.

The bristles 110 are coated with titanium dioxide to receive light emitted from the light irradiating unit to remove sterilization and contaminants by the photocatalytic principle.

Photocatalyst is a method to remove the sterilization and contaminants by oxidation reaction in the process, when titanium dioxide is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, OH radical having strong oxidizing power is generated.

In addition, the lower end of the head part 100 and the hole at the upper end of the body part 200 are tightly coupled to each other so that the light of the light irradiation part is irradiated through the head part.

A rubber ring 270 is further included between the detentable connection of the head and the body and the lid screwed into the lower end of the body.

The rubber ring 270 prevents foreign matter or water from penetrating through the gaps in the connection area to prevent internal failure.

As shown in FIG. 4, the light irradiating unit 220 protrudes from the upper end of the body part 200 and the lower end of the head part 100 is formed with a groove.
4, the lower end of the light irradiating unit 220 has a larger diameter than that of the upper end of the light irradiating unit 220 and is fixed to the inside of the upper end of the body part 200. The upper end of the light irradiating unit 220, And is tightly coupled to the groove formed on the inner side.
The light irradiation unit 220 is provided between the body part 200 and the head part 100 of the toothbrush so that the fastening force between the body part 200 and the head part 100 can be further strengthened.

Therefore, when the light irradiating unit 220 is irradiated to a desired site in the oral cavity without a separate protective cover, foreign matter and water do not permeate the inside of the body.
On the other hand, a wire C is installed between the light irradiation unit 220 and the battery 250 as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.
The electric wire C serves to supply a power source of the battery 250 to the light irradiation unit 220 and is installed inside the body unit 200.
3 and 4, the light irradiating unit 220 is located below the head 100.
That is, the light irradiating unit 220 is positioned away from the bristles 110.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventions. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
