Description
本發明係關於潔牙裝置與模具裝置,尤指一種具有螺旋狀軟膠刷毛部的潔牙裝置,以及能夠形成前述螺旋狀軟膠刷毛部的模具裝置。 The invention relates to a tooth cleaning device and a mold device, in particular to a tooth cleaning device having a spiral soft rubber bristle portion, and a mold device capable of forming the spiral soft rubber bristle portion.
按,根據美國牙周病學會指出,相較於沒有牙周病的人,牙周病患者罹患冠狀動脈疾病的機率高一倍,主要在於,牙周病的細菌可順著血液流動,而在提供心臟營養的冠狀動脈腔上形成菌斑(fatty plaques),造成動脈管壁增厚,導致產生血栓,因此,牙齦疾病引發的慢性炎症一直和心臟病、血管堵塞和中風等心血管疾病有所關連性;此外,相較於牙齦和牙齒健康的成年人,患有牙齦炎(牙齦腫脹、出血)的成年人在記憶力和其它認知功能的測試上表現較差,由此可知,口腔健康實與身體健康息息相關。 According to the American Academy of Periodontal Diseases, patients with periodontal disease are twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease as compared with people without periodontal disease. The main reason is that the bacteria of periodontal disease can flow along the blood, while in The formation of fatty plaques on the coronary artery lumen that provides heart nutrition causes the arterial wall to thicken and cause thrombosis. Therefore, chronic inflammation caused by gum disease has been associated with cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease, blood vessel blockage and stroke. Relevance; in addition, adults with gingivitis (gingival swelling, bleeding) perform poorly on memory and other cognitive tests compared to adults with healthy gums and teeth. Health is closely related.
除了前述健康因素之外,保持良好的口腔衛生亦是維持生活品質所必備的要件之一,畢竟,健康的牙齒能夠令人進行社交聊天時保持充分的自信,進而增添說話時的魅力與風采。目前,大多數人係透過刷牙和漱口等方式來保持口腔清潔,雖然「牙刷」對人體之頰面、唇面、舌面及咬合面等處,具有良好的去除菌斑效果,但是,對於相鄰牙齒的齒間牙垢來說,牙刷並無法達到完全清潔之效果,因此,人們通常會採用能夠穿過牙齒間隙(或稱牙縫、齒縫)之潔牙工具,以能夠有效清潔相鄰牙齒的齒間 牙垢。 In addition to the aforementioned health factors, maintaining good oral hygiene is also one of the essential requirements for maintaining the quality of life. After all, healthy teeth can make people maintain full self-confidence when social chatting, which in turn increases the charm and style of speaking. At present, most people keep their mouths clean by brushing their teeth and gargle. Although the "toothbrush" has a good effect of removing plaque on the cheeks, lips, tongue and occlusal surfaces of the human body, but Tooth tartar between adjacent teeth, toothbrushes cannot achieve a complete cleaning effect. Therefore, people usually use dental cleaning tools that can pass through the gaps between teeth (or interdental, interdental) to effectively clean adjacent teeth Interdental teeth Tartar.
現今較常被使用的潔牙工具(尤指前述清潔相鄰牙齒的齒間牙垢),大多為牙線棒與牙間刷,一般來說,習知牙線棒包括一牙線固定部及一握持部,其中,該牙線固定部係呈U型,其兩對應端與一牙線之兩端相固接,該握持部則固接至該牙線固定部上,以供使用者握持,如此,使用者即能在飯後,以手持取習知牙線棒的握持部,並將該牙線固定部置入口中,以能利用該牙線固定部上的牙線來刮除牙齒表面及齒間牙垢。然而,由於牙線在習知牙線棒上係呈緊繃直線,使用者必須將牙線完全穿入齒縫間,方能清除牙齒間的殘渣及牙垢,在齒縫過小導致牙線不易進入的情況下,牙齒鄰近牙齦處的殘渣及牙垢即不易被清除,且使用者亦容易用力過猛,而造成緊繃的牙線或堅硬的牙線固定部碰撞牙齦,導致牙齦出血。 The flossing tools that are commonly used today (especially the aforementioned interdental tartar cleaning of adjacent teeth) are mostly floss sticks and interdental brushes. Generally speaking, the conventional floss stick includes a floss fixing part and a A grip portion, wherein the floss fixing portion is U-shaped, and two corresponding ends are fixedly connected to both ends of a floss, and the grip portion is fixedly connected to the floss fixing portion for a user Hold, so that the user can take the grasping part of the conventional dental floss stick after the meal and put the dental floss fixing part into the entrance, so that the dental floss on the dental floss fixing part can be used Scrape off the tooth surface and tartar between teeth. However, because the dental floss is tight and straight on the conventional dental floss rods, the user must completely penetrate the dental floss between the teeth to remove the debris and tartar between the teeth. The dental floss is too small and the dental floss is not easy to enter In the case of teeth, the residue and tartar near the gums are not easy to be removed, and the user is also prone to excessive force, which causes the tight floss or hard floss fixation to hit the gums, causing bleeding of the gums.
承上,有鑑於前述使用上的缺失,人們亦會選擇使用牙間刷來清潔牙縫,又,現有牙間刷係一種體積類似於牙籤,但具有刷毛的小型刷頭,使用者能夠將牙間刷之刷毛刺入牙縫中,以藉由其上的刷毛,輕易地將牙齒鄰近牙齦處的殘渣及牙垢帶出牙縫,同時亦能利用具有彈性的刷毛,往復對牙齦進行按摩,如此,不但能將牙齒鄰近牙齦處的殘渣及牙垢清除乾淨,且能藉由按摩促進牙齦的血液循環,避免牙齦受傷流血,而達到口腔保健的目的。由於牙線棒與牙間刷均無法同時達到完全清除齒縫殘渣及按摩牙齦的效果,故,對於注重口腔保健的使用者來說,仍必須先後使用牙線棒與牙間刷,方能達到完全清除齒縫殘渣及按摩牙齦的口腔保健效果,由於牙線棒或牙間刷均屬於體積細小的產品,因此,當使用者外出時,若需分別攜帶與收納獨立的牙線棒與牙間刷,勢必會造成使用者的困 擾與不便性。 In view of the above, in view of the aforementioned lack of use, people will also choose to use the interdental brush to clean the teeth. In addition, the existing interdental brush is a small brush head with a volume similar to a toothpick, but with bristles. The bristles of the intermediary brush penetrate into the tooth gap to easily remove the residue and tartar near the gums from the tooth gap with the bristles on the tooth. At the same time, the elastic bristles can be used to massage the gum back and forth. It can not only remove the residue and tartar of the teeth near the gums, but also promote the blood circulation of the gums by massage, avoid the bleeding and bleeding of the gums, and achieve the purpose of oral health care. Since neither the dental floss stick nor the interdental brush can simultaneously achieve the effect of completely removing the residue between the teeth and massaging the gums, for users who pay attention to oral health, they must still use the dental floss stick and the interdental brush in order to achieve Completely remove dental residues and massage the gums for oral health effects. Since dental floss sticks or interdental brushes are small products, when users go out, they need to carry and store separate dental floss sticks and interdental spaces, respectively. Brushing is bound to cause user's sleepiness Disturbance and inconvenience.
雖然,目前有部分業者設計出在牙線棒的尾端增設刷毛,但實際生產與使用上,仍具有下列缺失:(1)現有的牙間刷多半採用同一種材質製成,因此,為能提供一定強度,方便使用者握持,及能夠順利地插入齒縫間,尤其是齒縫較小的情況,使得牙間刷的材質較硬,容易造成牙齦受傷;若採用硬度較低的材質製成,則牙間刷容易因使用者握持而彎折變形,反而不利使用;(2)現有的牙間刷之刷毛普遍設置為兩排,且各排刷毛的間隔角度為180度(即,對稱排列),因此,當其中一排刷毛清潔其中一齒根與牙齦間的縫隙時,另一排刷毛並無法發揮作用,降低清潔上的便利性;(3)針對第(1)點的問題,雖有業者採用二次射出成型方式,先以一種塑化材料製作出牙間刷的本體後,再以另一種塑化材料製作出刷毛,但是,前述牙間刷的結構是將另一種塑化材料完全包覆住牙間刷的一端後,才在其上凸設形成刷毛,因此,業者需以模具固定住牙間刷的另一端,才能夠以其它模具射出形成刷毛,此種情況,不僅造成模具的複雜度上升,且會造成另一種塑化材料的用量上升,使得業者的生產成本居高不下。 Although some manufacturers have designed to add bristles to the end of the dental floss bar, the actual production and use still have the following defects: (1) Most existing interdental brushes are made of the same material, so Provide a certain strength, easy for the user to hold, and can be smoothly inserted between the teeth, especially when the teeth are small, so that the material of the interdental brush is hard, and it is easy to cause gum injuries; if it is made of a material with lower hardness The interdental brush is easy to be bent and deformed by the user's grip, which is unfavorable; (2) The bristles of the existing interdental brush are generally set in two rows, and the interval angle of each row of bristles is 180 degrees (that is, Symmetrical arrangement), therefore, when one row of bristles cleans the gap between one tooth root and gums, the other row of bristles does not work, reducing the convenience of cleaning; (3) for the problem of point (1) Although some manufacturers use the second injection molding method, the body of the interdental brush is first made of one plasticized material, and then the bristles are made of another plasticized material, but the structure of the foregoing interdental brush is to use another plastic After the one end of the interdental brush is completely covered by the chemical material, the bristles are protruded on it. Therefore, the manufacturer needs to fix the other end of the interdental brush with a mold to be able to shoot out the other mold to form the bristles. Not only will the complexity of the mold increase, but also the amount of another plasticized material will increase, making the production cost of the industry high.
故,如何改善前述問題,以提供使用者更為良好的使用經驗,同時能降低業者的生產成本,即成為目前業界亟思研發改良之一重要議題,亦為本發明在此欲探討之一重要課題。 Therefore, how to improve the aforementioned problems in order to provide users with a better experience and at the same time can reduce the production costs of the industry has become an important issue in the industry's urgent research and development improvement, and it is also an important issue for the present invention to discuss here.

另,一般人使用刷毛部15時,通常會將該刷毛部15前後往復地插拔,但因齒縫的前後距離不會太長,故,請參閱第3及6圖所示,在該實施例中,該螺旋狀軟膠刷毛部155的總長度會小於22毫米,且其繞圈數約10至19圈,每一圈的軸向寬度H1為0.65毫米至1.15毫米,以能兼顧清潔所需及節省材料之目的。再者,為了能夠使該刷毛部15較易伸入齒縫中,在該實施例中,該桿體151之厚度能由其一端朝另一端逐漸縮減,且該桿體151最薄處之厚度為0.3毫米至0.45毫米,該桿體151最厚處之厚度為0.55毫米至0.65毫米,以使該桿體151之另一端能輕易地插入至齒縫,且藉由增加之厚度,令該等刷毛153能貼靠住牙齒周緣,以清除牙齒表面的齒垢和牙菌斑,
此外,該桿體151之另一端未設有刷毛153的區域長度H2能為0.5毫米至2毫米,以便該桿體151之另一端能輕易地插入齒縫中,但在本發明之其它實施例中,業者能夠根據生產需求,調整該刷毛部15之各個位置的厚度。
In addition, when a person uses the
承上,復請參閱第3及6圖所示,在該實施例中,該等刷毛153的長度亦能由該桿體151之一端朝另一端逐漸減少(如第3圖由下往上所示),以藉由複數排刷毛153及其長度變化,將齒縫間的殘渣和齒垢帶出,且能供使用者根據自身的齒縫大小,自行控制該桿體151插入齒縫的長度,避免因過長的刷毛153,妨礙了桿體151插入齒縫的程度;在該實施例中,最長之刷毛153長度較佳為0.4毫米至0.7毫米,最短之刷毛153長度較佳為0.15毫米至0.4毫米;且刷毛153頂端(或稱末端)的直徑F1較佳為0.15毫米至0.35毫米,刷毛153底端的直徑F2較佳為0.35毫米至0.7毫米,使得該等刷毛153能形成圓錐體。
As mentioned above, please refer to Figures 3 and 6 again. In this embodiment, the length of the
最後,復請參閱第1至4圖所示,在該實施例中,該模具裝置2尚設有一注料口20,為便於說明,第1圖僅以虛線方式繪製注料口20,但本領域之技藝人士,當能依實際需求,在模具裝置2中設置注料口20,合先陳明。又,該注料口20係對應於該潔牙裝置1之握柄部11的區域,以使用以形成刷毛153的塑化材料,能由該握柄部11朝該桿體151方向披覆,直至灌注於該螺紋注料空間(即,該等下注料空間214與該等上注料空間)為止,意即,本發明之第二塑化材料的射出起始點是位在該握柄部11的位置,以利用第二塑化材料在該握柄部11的對應位置形成外顯之一圖騰或一標記,甚至是止滑結構;舉例來說,該圖騰或該標記可為一裝飾或商標的圖案或文字,又,該第二塑化材料的顏色能不同於該第一塑化材料的顏色,以令該
圖騰或標記醒目地呈現在該握柄部11上,而成為使用者目光的焦點,此外,藉由其軟膠材質,亦能成為使用者握持時不易鬆脫掉落的施力點。
