WO2016179796A1 - Blocking body for use in toothbrush, toothbrush handle, toothbrush head, and toothbrush - Google Patents

Abstract

A blocking body (22), a toothbrush handle (2), a toothbrush head (1), and a toothbrush. A blocking wall (223) extending outwards from the centerline of a handle body is provided on the handle of the toothbrush. While brushing teeth, when a foam liquid produced by a toothpaste flows downward to the blocking wall, the blocking wall is capable of blocking the foam liquid from continuing to flow downward and, at the same time, guiding the foam liquid to be discharged from the outermost edge of the blocking wall, thus preventing the foam liquid from flowing onto a gripping handle for a user and causing the hand of the user to be covered with the foam liquid.

Description

Barrier for toothbrush, toothbrush handle, toothbrush head and toothbrush Technical field

This application relates to cleaning articles, and more particularly to a toothbrush.

Background technique

A toothbrush is a brush used to clean teeth. Generally, when you brush your teeth, you will add toothpaste to your toothbrush to clean your teeth. Toothbrush is a must-have item for people's daily lives.

A conventional toothbrush is usually a one-piece type of handle and toothbrush head that is manually cleaned by a user. With the continuous advancement of technology, more types of toothbrushes have appeared on the market, such as electric toothbrushes. The electric toothbrush generally drives the brush head to quickly oscillate through the driver in the handle, so that the brush head generates high-frequency vibration, and the toothpaste is decomposed into a fine foam liquid in an instant to deeply clean the teeth; at the same time, the vibration of the bristles can promote blood circulation of the mouth. Unexpected massage effect on gum tissue.

However, whether it is a traditional toothbrush or a new type of toothbrush, there is a problem in that during the brushing process, the foam liquid generated by the toothpaste will flow down along the toothbrush body along with the brushing water, and flow to the lower end of the handle body. This problem is more pronounced with the grip of the hand, especially for electric toothbrushes, due to the vibration of the electric toothbrush.

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this embodiment. The following detailed description is provided to facilitate a more thorough understanding of the disclosure of the present disclosure, wherein the words indicating the orientations of the top, the bottom, the left, the right, and the like are only for the position of the illustrated structure in the corresponding drawings.

However, one skilled in the art may realize that a detailed description of one or more of the details may be omitted, or other methods, components or materials may be employed. In some instances, some implementations are not described or described in detail.

In addition, the technical features and technical solutions described herein may also be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

Embodiment 1:

The first embodiment provides a toothbrush, in particular an electric toothbrush.

Referring to FIG. 1, the toothbrush includes a toothbrush head 1 and a toothbrush handle 2, which is mounted on the toothbrush handle 2.

The toothbrush handle 2 includes a handle body 21 and a blocking body 22. The blocking body 22 is mounted on the handle body 21.

Referring to FIG. 2, the blocking body 22 has a mounting hole 221 for mounting to the toothbrush and a blocking wall 223 for blocking the foaming liquid. The blocking wall 223 extends outward from the center line of the mounting hole 221. The blocking wall 223 can be formed into various shapes such as a circle, a square, a triangle, a pentagram, a flower shape, and the like.

The blocking body 22 is attached to the handle body 21 through a mounting hole 221.

Specifically, the attachment to the handle body 21 through the mounting hole 221 herein includes a detachable connection and a non-detachable connection.

The detachable connection may be that the blocking body 22 is tightly fitted to the handle body 21 through the mounting hole 221, or may be screwed to the handle body 21 by providing an internal thread on the inner wall 222 of the mounting hole 221.

The non-detachable connection may be that the blocking body 22 is bonded or welded to the handle body 21 through the mounting hole 221.

This embodiment is described by taking a tight fit as an example.

The blocking body 22 is made of a flexible material having elasticity, so that the blocking body 22 can be directly fitted tightly On the handle body 21.

Further, referring to FIG. 3, the embodiment further provides a mounting rib 221 on the mounting hole 221, and a corresponding recess 211 is disposed on the handle body 21 to engage the rib 221. Of course, as a deformation, a groove may be provided in the mounting hole 221, and the handle body 21 is provided with a rib and a groove.

The detachable cooperation of the embodiment facilitates the removal of the blocking body 22 and the handle body 21 for cleaning, and in the case of damage to the blocking body 22 or the handle body 21, it can be easily removed for replacement without having to replace the entire toothbrush. Handle 2.

Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the barrier wall 223 blocks the flow of the foam liquid flowing down the brush head 1 to the handle holding portion. The blocking wall 223 referred to herein may be perpendicular to the handle body 21 or may be disposed obliquely. In this embodiment, the damming wall 223 is disposed obliquely. As shown in FIG. 3, the damming wall 223 has an acute angle structure with the center line of the mounting hole 221.

The advantage of the oblique arrangement is that a receiving cavity can be formed between the blocking wall 223 and the handle body 21, and when the toothbrush is held vertically for brushing, the foam liquid is temporarily stored in the accommodating cavity without being blocked from the damming wall. The outer edge of the 223 flows downward to avoid the flow of foam to the user's hand when held vertically.

Of course, the structure in which the blocking wall 223 and the center line of the mounting hole 221 are at an acute angle is a general term, which not only includes the manner in which the blocking wall 223 extends in a reverse tapered shape, but also includes the blocking wall 223 on the inverted tapered surface. The deformation is made, for example, the barrier wall 223 extends in a bowl shape, and the structure is as shown in FIG. 3 of the embodiment; or the barrier wall 223 can also be formed as an inverted quadrangular pyramid or the like, which is based on the present embodiment. The shape given in the example can be extended to a wide variety of similar structures. Therefore, the present embodiment collectively refers to these structures as the obstruction wall 223 and the center line of the mounting hole 221 at an acute angle.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a flange 224 may be formed at the outermost edge of the barrier wall 223, and the flange 224 is perpendicular to the center line of the mounting hole 221, which is perpendicular to the center line of the mounting hole 221 (ie, The flange 224 of the center line direction of the handle body 21 prevents the foam liquid from flowing back from the outer wall of the blocking body 22 to the gripping position when flowing out of the blocking wall 223.

Further, in order to make the blocking body 22 have a good cleaning ability, the barrier wall 223 can have a self-cleaning surface formed of a self-cleaning material, which has a good self-cleaning effect and allows the liquid to quickly guide away.

The self-cleaning surface formed by the self-cleaning material referred to herein includes the self-cleaning material being disposed on the barrier wall 223 by existing spraying or other means to form a self-cleaning coating, and also includes mixing the self-cleaning material with the plastic material and then passing through The existing injection molding process is directly formed into the barrier wall 223.
