Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a state of use. The suction toothbrush according to the present invention is used in connection with the medical suctioning apparatus 10 having the suction pump 12 coupled to the storage container 14 and includes a grip 110 and a grip 110 And a connector 130 protruding from the proximal end of the gripper 110. The connector 130 includes a head portion 120 provided at the tip of the grip portion 110 and a connector portion 130 protruding from the base portion of the gripper 110. [

The head part 120, the grip part 110, and the connector part 130 are integrally formed by using synthetic resin or silicone. Specifically, the head part 120, the grip part 110, and the connector part 130 are formed as follows.

The grip portion 110 has a bar shape so that the grip portion 110 can be held by hand. The head portion 120 has a shape in which the bristles 122 are formed on an upper surface thereof, similar to a head portion of a general toothbrush.

A suction path 108 is formed in the grip portion 110 and the head portion 120. A plurality of suction holes 124 communicating with the suction path 108 are formed in the head portion 120. [ Suction holes 124 are formed on the side, upper and lower surfaces of the head portion 120 in an appropriate number.

The connector 130 has a circular tube shape tapered so as to have a narrower width toward the outer side, and a plurality of wedge-shaped protrusions 132 are formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof. The grip portion 110 and the suction passage 108 of the head portion 120 communicate with the inside of the connector portion 130 and are opened to the outside because the connector portion 130 is formed in a tubular shape.

 The connector 130 is detachably coupled to the suction tube 16 connected to the storage container 14 of the suction mechanism 10. Since the connector portion 130 has a tapered shape that becomes narrower toward the outer side, it is easy to fit the connector portion 130 into the suction tube 16, and the present invention is applicable to the suction tube 16 of various sizes There are also possible benefits.

When the connector portion 130 is inserted into the suction tube 16, the wedge-shaped protrusion 132 is pressed against the inner circumferential surface of the suction tube 16 to slightly dent the inner surface of the suction tube 16, (130) is firmly coupled to the suction tube (16).

On the other hand, a suction adjusting hole 112 is protruded from the grip 110, and an adjusting contact surface 114 protruding outward is formed at the tip of the suction adjusting hole 112. The user opens and closes the suction control hole 112 with the thumb while holding the grip 110 by hand. As described later, when the suction force inside the head portion 120 is increased by the opening / closing of the suction control hole 112 .

Preferably, as shown, the adjustment contact surface 114 comprises a curved surface that protrudes upward as it goes outward, so that the thumb is effectively in close contact with the adjustment contact surface 114 so that the suction adjustment hole 112 Lt; / RTI >

The present invention having such a configuration is used as follows.

The user connects the connector portion 130 of the present invention to the suction tube 16 of the medical suction mechanism 10 and operates the suction mechanism 10. [ When the suction force is not required to be generated at the initial stage of brushing the tooth, the suction control hole 112 is used in an open state.

When the suction control hole 112 is opened, external air is sucked through the suction control hole 112 by the suction force of the suction mechanism 10, so that no suction force is generated in the head portion 120.

On the other hand, when the user wants to discharge the to-be-caged body in the mouth of the patient, the suction control hole 112 is closed with the thumb. The suction force of the suction mechanism 10 acts on the head portion 120 so that the tomblets that are lodged in the mouth of the patient through the suction holes 124 of the head portion 120 are separated from the head portion 120 and the grip portion 110 And is discharged to the suction container 14. The suction port 108 of the suction port 108 is connected to the suction port 108 of the suction port.

It is easy to close the suction adjusting hole 112 due to the adjustment contact surface 114 formed at the tip of the suction adjusting hole 112. That is, when the adjustment contact surface 114 is not formed in the suction adjustment hole 112, the suction adjustment hole 112 is properly closed by accurately positioning the finger on the end surface of the suction adjustment hole 112. In this case, The finger may be pressed by the end of the suction control hole 112 to cause pain.

However, in the present invention, since the adjustment contact surface 114 is formed so that the user's finger is brought into close contact with the adjustment contact surface 114 and the finger is pushed wide and the suction adjustment hole 112 is closed, There is no possibility that the finger is painful because the finger is not pressed against the end portion of the suction control hole 112. Further,

In this way, the user opens and closes the suction control hole 112 with his or her finger to generate a suction force in the head portion 120 as needed. If the user needs to adjust the suction force by turning on / off the suction mechanism 10, the use of the suction force may be considerably inconvenient. However, in the present invention, the suction force of the head portion 120 So that there is an advantage that it is easy to use.

On the other hand, when considering the hygiene aspect, the present invention is preferably used as a disposable product. Since the present invention is used in connection with the medical suction mechanism 10 and controls the suction force through the opening and closing of the suction control hole 112, the present invention does not have any electrical or electronic structure, And has a simple configuration. Therefore, since the cost is low, even if it is used for disposable use, a large burden on the user is not generated economically.

Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be described, and the same configurations and effects as those of the above-described embodiments will not be described.

3 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention. According to the present embodiment, the present invention comprises a head portion 120 and a grip portion 110, and is connected to the suction tube 16 using a separate connector 30.

The connector 30 has a circular tubular shape and has a suction adjusting hole 32 formed at a central portion thereof and both ends thereof are detachably coupled to the suction tube 16 of the grip portion 110 and the suction mechanism 10, respectively . Preferably, the outer peripheral surfaces of the both ends of the connector 30 are formed with wedge-shaped protrusions 33 for firmly engaging the grip portion 110 and the suction tube 16. Reference numeral 34 denotes an adjustment contact surface formed at the tip of the suction adjustment hole 32. [

In the case where the present invention is constituted by the head part 120 and the grip part 110 and is connected to the suction tube 16 by the separate connector 30, the present invention is more compact, .

4 and 5 are a perspective view and an exploded perspective view showing a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the head portion 120 is divided into a head body 128 and an upper plate 126 on which the bristles 122 are formed.

The head main body 128 is integrally formed with the grip portion 110 so as to have a rectangular housing shape with the top opened. Therefore, the suction passage 108 formed in the head main body 128 is opened upward. A pair of latching grooves 129 are formed on the opposite inner surfaces of the head main body 128 and the suction holes 124 are formed to open upward from the upper end of the head main body 128.

A pair of elastic protrusions 127 protruding from the bottom surface of the upper plate 126 are formed on the bottom plate 126 so as to fit into the latching recesses 129. Therefore, the upper plate 126 is detachably coupled to the upper side of the head body 128 by the elastic protrusion 127.

The head 120 is divided into the upper plate 126 and the head body 128 so that the user can remove the upper plate 126 from the head body 128 to clean the inside of the head 120 , So that the design can be used repeatedly, rather than disposable, as needed.

Particularly, since the suction hole 124 is formed at the upper end of the head body 128, when the upper plate 126 is detached, the suction hole 124 is opened upward so that the suction hole 124 can be easily cleaned.

When the upper plate 126 is separated from the head main body 128, a pointed mechanism is inserted into the suction hole 124 formed in a direction parallel to the elastic protrusion 127 of the suction hole 124, The upper plate 126 is easily separated.

On the other hand, since the suction passage 108 inside the grip portion 110 is linear, it is easy to clean the inside.
