It can be composed of:

The operation of the water discharge direction switching valve 100 of the present invention configured as described above will be described as follows.

First, let's explain the operation in which the discharge direction is downward (downward discharge mode):

When the water discharge direction change knob 170 is turned to the left to switch to the downward position (see FIG. 15), hot water is discharged through the hot water supply pipe 215 of the hot water supply module 200 and flows into the fastening pipe 110, Hot water flows back into the housing 120. At this time, the first on/off valve 150 maintains the open state of the water discharge hole 123, and at the same time, the second valve 160 maintains the closed state of the water discharge direction change hole 121 of the housing 120.

The hot water flowing into the housing 120 passes through the water discharge hole 123 and then is discharged downward through the slit 181 (shown in FIG. 16) of the water spray network 180.

Meanwhile, when explaining the operation of turning the water discharge direction upward (upward discharge mode), when the water discharge direction change knob 170 is turned to the right to switch to the upward position (see FIG. 15), the water discharge direction change knob 170 is turned to the right and the water discharge direction is changed to the upward position (see FIG. 15). 1 The on-off valve 150 rotates to close the water discharge hole 123, and at the same time, the second valve 160 moves along the inner peripheral surface of the housing 120 to open the water discharge direction change hole 121 of the housing 120. .

Due to the closure of the water discharge hole 123, the hot water closed in the housing 120 can no longer proceed downward, and proceeds toward the water discharge direction change hose 130 through the water discharge direction change hole 121, thereby controlling the water discharge direction. Hot water is discharged upward through the discharge hole 131a of the cap 131.

In the drawer-type toothbrush sterilizing brush holder of the present invention, the drawer-type toothbrush holder 1200 is advanced and pulled out among the plurality of drawer-type toothbrush holders 1200 installed on the front of the toothbrush main body 1100.

At this time, the forward and backward movement of the drawer-type toothbrush holder 1200 is guided safely and smoothly without shaking by the guide protrusions 1110b formed on both sides of the inner surface of the cylindrical tube 1120.

And because the departure prevention long groove 1410 is formed on the bottom of the through guide hole 1110 in the front and rear direction, the hook 1420 is formed on the bottom of the drawer-type toothbrush holder 1200 and moves along the departure prevention long groove 1410. And it is caught at the end of the separation prevention groove (1410) so that it does not fall out arbitrarily.

After taking the toothbrush 10 mounted inside the drawn out drawer-type toothbrush holder 120 out of the drawer-type toothbrush holder 120, apply toothpaste to the toothbrush 10 and brush your teeth.

If you want to gargle, you can conveniently gargle (rinse with water) after brushing your teeth by freely adjusting the direction of the water (the direction of hot water coming out) up and down using the water discharge direction change valve (100) that supplies hot water. there is.

After brushing teeth is completed, the toothbrush 10 is stored in the drawer-type toothbrush holder 1200, and the drawer-type toothbrush holder 1200 is retracted and stored. The UV lamp 1300 sterilizes the bristles 10a of the toothbrush 10 introduced into the toothbrush sterilization room 1130.

That is, the UV lamp 1300 irradiates ultraviolet rays into the toothbrush sterilization room 1130 to sterilize and disinfect the tooth hair 10a. The ultraviolet sterilization method using the UV lamp 1300 can be performed when the drawer-type toothbrush holder 1200 is stored using a sensor (not shown), or can be performed at a certain point in time.

At this time, the reflective film 1170 can sterilize every corner of the bristles 10a of the toothbrush 10 by reflecting the ultraviolet rays of the UV lamp 1300.

Furthermore, the bristles of the toothbrush 10 are dried with hot air using the hot air dryer 1190. The hot air drying method can be performed when the drawer-type toothbrush holder 1200 is stored using a sensor (not shown), or can be performed at a certain point in time. Hot air drying refers to a drying method that uses heated air as a drying medium.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

First, the toothbrush can be safely stored and sterilized in the drawer-type toothbrush holder, so the toothbrush can always be kept clean, and the water jet direction can be freely adjusted up and down using a water jet direction change valve that supplies hot water, allowing for drinking as well as gargling after brushing teeth. You can do this conveniently.

Second, when changing the water direction of the water flow direction change valve for gargling or drinking, the water flow direction can be freely adjusted downward or upward by turning the water direction change knob to the left or right, so the user does not have to use a cup. You can easily gargle in a comfortable position without having to bend your head under the faucet, and by supplying hot water through the hot water supply module, you can not only brush your teeth with hot water even in winter, but also drink it easily.

Third, the water discharge direction change hose is constructed in a bellows-shaped flexible structure, so the water discharge direction can be freely adjusted in directions other than upward.

Fourth, in order to avoid the inconvenience of previously brushing teeth in the bathroom sink and storing the toothbrush in the bathroom or a separate place, the hot water supply module and water discharge direction change valve are integrated with the toothbrush holder, making toothbrush storage, brushing, and gargling the same. It has the advantage of being able to be done simply, quickly, and cleanly at any location.

Fifth, rapid drying of the toothbrush is possible, and the toothbrush always remains clean as the contaminated water dripping from the toothbrush is dried with hot air. Effective hygiene management is possible because multiple toothbrushes are divided so that they do not touch each other. It has the advantage of being able to easily recognize who it belongs to.

Sixth, since the toothbrush sterilization room is formed as an enclosed space, sterilization efficiency can be maximized by concentrating ultraviolet rays in a small space. If a reflective membrane is installed on the inner surface of the toothbrush sterilization room, the reflective membrane reflects the ultraviolet rays of the UV lamp, thereby protecting the toothbrush. It can sterilize every corner of the pubic hair.

Seventh, each individual is provided with a separate drawer-type toothbrush holder, and each person's toothbrush is stored and placed in the drawer-type toothbrush holder, so the risk of infection between toothbrushes can be prevented in advance and hygiene can be maintained more cleanly.
