Antibacterial tongue cleaner

The present invention relates to an antibacterial tongue cleaner, and more particularly, by simply scratching the tongue, it gently stimulates the tongue and at the same time releases useful ingredients that can inhibit harmful oral bacteria, thereby providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity in the oral cavity, improvement of bad breath, and gums. It relates to an improved antibacterial tongue cleaner that has anti-aging properties and can contribute to maintaining oral hygiene and promoting oral health.

In general, it was confirmed through research that the cause of halitosis patients, who had a bad smell in the mouth, was due to the cause in the mouth.

Usually, tongue or white is the main cause, which refers to a white or black color of the entire or large area of the tongue; White tartar is produced by the adhesion of saliva, bacteria and cells to the nipple, which is a small protrusion on the surface of the tongue, and is caused by various factors such as certain diseases, long-term antibiotics, smoking, etc. It is usually grayish-white or yellowish in color.

In severe cases, such a tongue or white color can cause bad breath to the extent that it is impossible to even talk to the other person, thereby lowering the quality of life.

In addition, it has been confirmed by research that the average reduction rate of oral malodor after tongue washing is reduced to 59-88%.

Volatile sulfur compounds account for 90% of bad breath, and it is caused by oral diseases attached to the back of the tongue.

In this case, the main components of the volatile compound include hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and the like.

In general, a toothbrush or a disposable tongue cleaner is generally used for tongue removal. The disposable tongue cleaner consists of a spatula part and a handle part to wipe the tongue white matter, and is used only for wiping the tongue white matter.

In addition, the disposable tongue cleaner has a problem in that the surface of the plastic is easily worn, and bacteria easily propagate between the worn cracks.

In addition, when using a toothbrush to scrape the tongue, it is scratched with a stronger force than a tongue cleaner, causing a nausea reflex phenomenon, and by injuring the nipple or protrusion of the tongue, there is a problem that it is easily exposed to oral diseases such as glossitis, periodontal disease, periodontal pocket. .

1 is an exemplary view of a tongue cleaner according to the present invention.
2 is an exemplary sample photograph of a tongue cleaner according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1-2 , the antibacterial tongue cleaner according to the present invention includes a gripper 100 .

The gripper 100 is a means that a user can hold by hand, and is molded of a synthetic resin.

In particular, the gripper 100 has an extended part 110 formed at one end, and the extended part 110 is formed in a wide piece shape.

Of course, the extension 110 is formed flat, but is integrally formed at the end of the gripper 100 .

In addition, the gripper 100 is molded with a resin solution in which copper is mixed with PET (polyethylene terephthalate) to have its own antibacterial properties.

In this case, copper is a nanopowder with a particle size of 10 nm, which can be mixed in 2.5 wt% compared to the PET, and is a material that performs a typical antibacterial function.

In addition, 15 parts by weight of polylactic acid, dimethyloctadecyl [3- (trimethoxy Silyl) propyl] 7.5 parts by weight of ammonium chloride, 5.5 parts by weight of dialkanolamine, 5 parts by weight of cocamidopropyl betaine, 2.5 parts by weight of tourmaline powder having a particle size of 10 nm may be further mixed.

At this time, the polylactic acid is to maintain the environmental friendliness with biodegradability while maintaining the flexibility and elasticity of the gripper.

And, dimethyl octadecyl [3- (trimethoxysilyl) propyl] ammonium chloride is a material corresponding to CAS number 27668-52-6, and is a component that enhances antibacterial activity by destroying the cell wall by cations. Since it provides a strong sterilizing power, it is possible to maintain the antibacterial power for a long time without separately sterilizing the gripper 100 .

In addition, dialkanolamine is a material corresponding to CAS No. 68603-42-9, induces low brittleness and high dispersibility, and contributes to stabilizing the composition.

In addition, Cocamidopropyl Betaine provides antibacterial and antistatic properties by enhancing the surfactant function.

In addition, tourmaline is generally a cyclosilicate crystal structure containing boron, and when it receives electromagnetic waves from solar energy, it generates a current of 0.06mA beneficial to the human body, and emits far infrared rays of 4 to 14 microns the same as the human body. It is added to enhance the human body benefit and antibacterial properties according to the emission of negative ions and far-infrared rays.

In addition, since the expansion part 110 is a part that enters the oral cavity, in order to increase durability and strengthen anti-contamination properties, 10 parts by weight of mucus mixed with rosin and resin powder in a weight ratio of 1:3 with respect to 100 parts by weight of polypropylene resin Part, calcined coral powder 2.5 parts by weight, attapulgite 2.5 parts by weight, sericite powder 2.5 parts by weight can be mixed to coat the outer surface of the extension (110).

At this time, it is preferable to use the rosin and the cinnamon powder as natural antibacterial agents, and in particular, the rosin powder is nano-sized to have a particle size of 10 nm.

In addition, calcined coral powder contains a large amount of various amino acids, so it is a rich natural mineral mass, which can significantly enhance mineral elution properties.

In addition, attapulgite having a particle size of 10 nm has a characteristic of adsorbing, removing, and decomposing harmful substances in the oral cavity including heavy metals.

In addition, sericite powder having a particle size of 10 nm is a hydrophilic mineral that increases the adhesion area to the surface and doubles the adhesion. It also contributes to wound healing through its effectiveness.

On the other hand, the extension part 110 has a first protrusion 200, a second protrusion 300 softer than the first protrusion 200, and a third harder than the first protrusion 200 in turn toward the end. A plurality of protrusions 400 are formed to protrude, respectively.

Therefore, the third protrusion 400 is the strongest and serves as a scraper to scrape white or tongue, and the first protrusion 200 is the next strong quality, providing a massage effect that stimulates nerves and cells on the surface of the tongue. The second protrusion 300 is soft and has a function of inducing the white matter to be easily scratched by gently stimulating the white matter of the tongue before scraping it with the third protrusion 400 .

To this end, the first, second, and third protrusions 200, 300, and 400 are all configured to have antibacterial properties by mixing copper (Cu) powder with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), and it is preferable that the copper is contained in an amount of 2.5% by weight.

At this time, the copper powder has a particle size of 10 nm, and the first protrusion 200 contains 1.0 parts by weight of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), 5 parts by weight of elvan stone powder having a particle size of 10 nm, and Naringin with respect to 100 parts by weight of a resin solution in which copper is mixed with TPU. (Naringin) 15 parts by weight may be molded in a mixed state.

Here, PEEK is an eco-friendly material added to increase the rigidity of the first protrusion 200 .

And, the elvan stone powder is to increase the stimulation and thermal effect of the tongue surface through the far-infrared emitting properties.

In addition, since it contains a large amount of naringin, it provides strong natural antibacterial properties without toxicity that destroys the outer membrane of bacteria and kills them.

In addition, the second protrusion 300 may be molded in a state in which 5 parts by weight of ascorbic acid and 5 parts by weight of propolis are mixed with respect to 100 parts by weight of a resin solution in which copper is mixed with TPU.

In this case, ascorbic acid enhances antibacterial properties, and propolis enhances anti-inflammatory properties.

In addition, the third protrusion 400 is based on 100 parts by weight of a resin solution in which copper is mixed with TPU, 10 parts by weight of PEEK (Polyetheretherketone), 10 parts by weight of EC (Epicatechin), 2.5 parts by weight of elvan stone powder having a particle size of 10 nm, Naringin (Naringin) 10 parts by weight may be molded in a mixed state.

At this time, EC (Epicatechin) is a substance belonging to the catechin class, and it is added for this purpose because it has anti-cavity, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

And, these first, second, and third protrusions 200, 300, 400 can implement protrusions of the form shown in the figure by injecting different molding resin liquids from the mold to the injection hole corresponding to each protrusion molding.

In this way, just by scratching the tongue, it gently stimulates the tongue and at the same time releases useful ingredients that can inhibit harmful oral bacteria, and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity, improvement of bad breath, and suppression of gum aging to maintain oral hygiene and improve oral hygiene. It can contribute to the improvement of oral health.
