Description

Toothbrush with plaque

This creation is about a toothbrush that illuminates the teeth through the light it produces, which causes the plaque on the teeth to produce a fluorescent response, and the user can further enhance the area to be cleaned through the mirror.

It’s amazing to have a white, flat tooth. Paying attention to oral cleaning In addition to maintaining personal hygiene, it is more concerned with the need for social etiquette to see if the mouth produces odor. After eating the food, the food residue, bacteria, saliva, and epithelial cells that fall off in the mouth are mixed together and adhered to the surface of the tooth, which is called plaque. Plaque is a complete organism that attaches to the surface of the tooth and is quite easy to remove. Plaque is one of the important factors leading to oral diseases. For example, some plaques release acidic substances to erode the enamel (enamel) on the surface of the teeth. The initial teeth lose their luster and cause dental caries for a long time. The main purpose of brushing is to remove plaque, while cleaning the food residue on the tooth surface, and to prevent tooth decay by applying the ingredients contained in the toothpaste, such as fluoride, to the surface of the tooth.

It is very important to develop a daily cleaning brushing habit. It is necessary to develop from a small training method for brushing and brushing. However, it is actually impossible to know whether the brushing is cleaned every time the teeth are cleaned. Currently common detection of plaque Mainly using plaque display agents.

The plaque display agent can be roughly divided into two types. The first method is to apply 3~5 drops of plaque display agent to the cotton swab, evenly spread on the teeth and gums, wait for about 10 seconds. Shui shui spit out. The second method of use is to inject 5 to 8 drops of plaque display agent into about 8 cc of clean water, and then spit it out several times in a mouthwash. When using a mirror to observe the surface of the tooth showing pink or red chromosomes in some places, it can be observed that there are still plaques in the discolored position, indicating that the position of the teeth is not clean, and the display agent and plaque need to be completely cleaned. Therefore, the use of plaque display agent can objectively express whether the brushing teeth are thoroughly cleaned to remove plaque.

Although the stained plaque can be observed using the above plaque display agent, it is composed of red food coloring. After use, the mucosa in the mouth is also stained pink, and even the lips are stained, which takes time to resolve. Therefore, there are still some inconveniences in actual use, and it is not suitable for going out to activities immediately after use, to avoid being scared to others by talking with others.

The main purpose of this creation is to combine a detection light source (ultraviolet wavelength) on the toothbrush. When it is irradiated on the surface of the tooth, the plaque attached to the tooth generates a fluorescent reaction. After the fluorescent reaction portion is observed by the mirror, the cleaning brush is performed. The action can avoid the inconvenience of using the plaque display agent in the past, so as to achieve the purpose and effect of the creation.

In order to achieve the aforementioned purpose and effect, the present invention can see a plaque toothbrush, which comprises a body, a detecting light source, a battery and a control circuit. Wherein: the body comprises a brush head formed by a plurality of bristles and a grip for providing a grip; the detecting light source is disposed at the body grip, and the detecting light source emits a wavelength ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm; The control circuit is disposed in the handle of the body, and the control circuit is electrically connected to the battery and the detecting light source.

The toothbrush having the plaque as described above further includes a control switch disposed on one side of the body, and the control opening relationship is electrically connected to the control circuit.

The aforementioned plaque toothbrush, wherein the control switch is disposed on the handle of the body, and the control opening relationship is in the same direction as the bristles of the brush head.

The aforementioned plaque toothbrush is characterized in that the detecting light source is disposed at a position of a tip end end of the body.

The aforementioned plaque toothbrush, wherein the body is a general toothbrush or an electric toothbrush.

The first picture is a three-dimensional diagram of the creation.

The second and third pictures are schematic diagrams of the state of use of the creation.

The fourth figure is a schematic view of the creation detection light source on the periphery of the handle.

The fifth figure is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the present application applied to an electric toothbrush.

The sixth figure is a schematic diagram of the artificial detection light source located on the circumference of the electric toothbrush.

Please refer to the first to second figures. The figure shows the toothbrush with plaque visible in this creation, including a body 1, a detection light source 2, a battery 3 and a control. Circuit 4.

The body 1 includes a brush head 12 formed by a plurality of bristles 11 and a grip 13 for providing a grip. The body 1 is an elongated and non-circular cross-section rod body. In the figure, the main body 1 is exemplified by a general toothbrush, and the bristles 11 are arranged in a rectangular shape.

The detecting light source 2 is disposed at the grip 13 of the body 1, and the detecting light source 2 emits a wavelength ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm. The detecting light source 2 of this embodiment is a light-emitting diode (LED).

The battery 3 and the control circuit 4 are disposed in the handle 13 of the body 1, and the control circuit 4 is electrically connected to the battery 3 and the detection light source 2. The battery 3 provides a source of operational energy for the control circuit 4 and the detection source 2.

Through the foregoing structural and technical features, the user only needs to hold the body 1 and irradiate the teeth in the oral cavity with the detecting light source 2 on the body 1, and irradiate the upper teeth in the oral cavity as shown in the second and third figures. Irradiate the teeth one by one or select a local (single tooth) to stimulate the plaque attached to the teeth to produce a fluorescent reaction, and use the mirror to observe the fluorescent reaction to clean the teeth, thereby providing a contactless oral cavity. The way to see if the plaque on the teeth is cleaned.

Referring to the first figure, the toothbrush that sees the plaque further includes a control switch 5 (the control switch of the embodiment may be a touch or push type) and is disposed on the side of the body 1, and the control The switch 5 is electrically connected to the control circuit 4. The control switch 5 provides a user operation, and then turns on and off the detection light source 2 through the control circuit 4, and the user can determine the use time and reduce the unused power consumption condition. The control switch 5 is disposed on the handle 13 of the body 1, and the control switch 5 is connected to the bristles 11 of the brush head 12. Settings are in the same direction.

Referring to the first figure of the drawing, the detecting light source 2 is disposed at the end end of the handle 13 of the body 1. In addition, the detection light source 2 may be disposed on the circumferential side of the handle 13 of the body 1 as shown in the fourth figure.

The body 1 disclosed in the first to fourth figures of the present invention is exemplified by a general toothbrush. In addition, the toothbrush that can be seen in the creation of the plaque can also be applied to the body 1 as an electric toothbrush type, as shown in the fifth figure of the figure. And the detecting light source 2 is also located at the end position of the grip 13 of the body 1. In addition, the detection light source 2 can also be disposed on the circumferential side of the handle 13 of the body 1, as shown in the sixth figure.
