The present disclosure relates to an oral cleaning kit, and more particularly to an oral cleaning kit for cleaning tooth gaps and observing an oral cavity.
Oral cleaning is daily care that everyone must perform every day, especially with age, or pathological reasons, it is very easy to cause gingival recession and enlargement of tooth gaps, and it is very prone to food residue. If an oral cavity cannot be cleaned in time, on the one hand, bad breath may be produced, and on the other hand, various dental diseases, oral diseases, and especially periodontitis may occur.
In view of this situation, various interdental brushes, also known as interdental brushes, have been developed on the current market for users to choose. Although there are products of various structures and different specifications on the market today, the existing products are generally disadvantageous in that it is unlikely to observe tooth gaps. Especially when cleaning a gap between the third molar and the second molar or a gap between the second molar and the first molar or a gap between the first molar and the second premolar. Because the position of a tooth gap to be cleaned is deep in the mouth, the light is very dark in the cleaned part. When there is no external lighting, a user can operate only by feeling. The working part of an interdental brush in the prior art usually adopts a brush structure of attaching polymer material fibers to a metal wire. Therefore, when operating by feeling, the metal wire is very easy to stab gingival tissues and cause bleeding or damage to the gums.
In order to prevent the metal wire from stabbing the gums, the interdental brush in the prior art also includes an interdental brush made of a soft polymer material. Although the head of the interdental brush becomes soft and reduces the stab on the gums, it is prone to bending deformation due to low strength of the interdental brush. Therefore, the interdental brush slightly misaligns to the tooth gap, it is difficult to push bristles of the interdental brush into the tooth gap, and it is difficult to successfully clean the tooth gap. Therefore, when using this interdental brush, the visibility of the use process is more demanding.
Based on the above-mentioned technical shortcomings, the applicant applied for Chinese Patent No. 201410091268.0, filed on Mar. 12, 2014 and entitled “Internal Interdental Brush”; the applicant applied for Chinese Patent No. 201410108525.7, filed on Mar. 21, 2014 and entitled “Visual Interdental Brush”; and the applicant filed a PCT application for the above patents, and the PCT patent application number is PCT/CN2015/073927. The above patents have all technically improved the technical shortcomings of the foregoing interdental brush.
Meanwhile, the applicant has also found that for most users, daily oral cleaning needs to be performed in time after eating, and in a complete oral cleaning process, a variety of tools are needed: observation tools such as an oral viewer; cleaning tools such as an interdental brush, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss. When oral cleaning is performed during business hours or travel time, dental cleaning is usually performed in public toilets. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the problems how to realize the carrying-out of tools such as an interdental brush, an oral viewer and a toothbrush, as well as the use convenience and hygiene in public toilets.
The present disclosure is directed to a portable oral cleaning kit that is hygienic and convenient to use in various toilets.
The present disclosure provides an oral cleaning kit. The oral cleaning kit 800 is characterized by including an interdental brush 1, an oral viewer 2, and a container 3 capable of containing the interdental brush 1 and the oral viewer 2. The container 3 includes an upper cover 31, a base 32 and a storage space 33. The upper cover 31 is detachably mounted on the base 32, and a space between the upper cover 31 and the base 32 constitutes the storage space 33. The interdental brush 1 and the oral viewer 2 are mounted in the storage space 33.
During oral cleaning, the upper cover 31 is taken down from the base 32, the interdental brush 1 and the oral viewer 2 are taken out from the container 3, and under the assisted observation of the oral viewer 2, tooth gaps are cleaned by using the interdental brush 1. After use, the interdental brush 1 and the oral viewer 2 are disposed in the storage space 33 of the container 3, and then the upper cover 31 is mounted on the base 32, so the oral cleaning kit 800 can constitute a portable and disposable unit again.
The base 32 includes a fixed clamping ring 32-1 and a storage tank 32-2. The fixed clamping ring 32-1 is provided at an open end of the storage tank 32-2.

The provision of the vent 3-1 may ensure the evaporation of residual water in the container 3, keep the dryness of the storage space 33 of the container 3, effectively prevent the growth of bacteria, and avoid the residual water from causing short circuit, aging and accidental damage of electronic components, thereby making the oral cleaning kit 800 safer and more hygienic.
The container 3 may contain a toothbrush 5, and/or toothpaste 6, and/or dental floss 7. The container 3 may also contain a daily cleaning product such as a toothbrush 5, and/or toothpaste 6, and/or dental floss 7, and the user may conveniently perform a complete oral cleaning care through the oral cleaning kit of the present disclosure.
The interdental brush 1 is an internal interdental brush 100. The internal interdental brush 100 includes an interdental brush 1, a delivery device 100-2, and the connection mechanism 300; the interdental brush 1 is movably disposed in an elbow 100-2-1 at the front end of the delivery device 100-2; and the connection mechanism 300 is provided on the delivery device 100-2.
The interdental brush 1 of the internal interdental brush 100 includes a working portion 11 and a connecting body 12, the working portion 11 being provided at the front end of the connecting body 12. The delivery device 100-2 includes a guide head 100-21 and a sliding mechanism 100-22. The guide head 100-21 internally includes an elbow 100-2-1. The interdental brush 1 is mounted in the elbow 100-2-1, the working portion 11 of the interdental brush 1 can slide inside the elbow 100-2-1, and the connecting body 12 of the interdental brush 1 is mounted on the sliding mechanism 100-22 of the delivery device 100-2. The movement of the sliding mechanism 100-22 can drive the working portion 11 of the interdental brush 1 to slide in the elbow 100-2-1. By driving the sliding mechanism 100-22, the working portion 11 of the interdental brush 1 can protrude from an outlet of the elbow 100-2-1.
The sliding mechanism 100-22 of the internal interdental brush 100 includes an interdental brush connecting mechanism 100-2-2 and a slider 100-2-3, the interdental brush connecting mechanism 100-2-2 being provided on the slider 100-2-3. The connecting body 12 of the interdental brush and the interdental brush connecting mechanism 100-2-2 are connected together, and the slider 100-2-3 can be pushed and pulled to drive the interdental brush 1 to reciprocate within the elbow 100-2-1, such that the working portion 11 of the interdental brush protrudes or retracts from the outlet of the elbow 100-2-1.
Because the internal interdental brush 100 has a structure of the interdental brush 1 being disposed in the elbow 100-2-1 of the guide head 100-21 of the delivery device 100-2, after the guide head 100-21 aligns to a tooth gap, the working portion 11 of the interdental brush 1 made of an elastic material pushes the sliding mechanism 100-22 on the delivery device 100-2 to drive the working portion 11 of the interdental brush 1 to automatically bend along the curvature of the elbow 100-2-1, and to align and enter the tooth gap. By pushing and pulling the slider 22-2 on the sliding mechanism 100-22 of the delivery device 100-2 back and forth, the working portion 11 of the interdental brush moves back and forth in the tooth gap to clean the tooth gap. Due to the good rigidity of the delivery device 100-2, the working portion 11 of the interdental brush 1 will be pushed out to directly enter the tooth gap after the outlet of the elbow 100-2-1 of the guide head 100-21 of the delivery device 100-2 aligns to the tooth gap. Because the outlet of the elbow 100-2-1 of the guide head 100-21 of the delivery device 100-2 is almost close to the tooth gap, the working portion 11 of the interdental brush is unlikely to bend due to a short distance from the tooth gap, so the conductivity of the power of the interdental brush 1 is greatly improved, the controllability of the interdental brush 1 is improved, and the shortcoming of injury to gums caused by bending of an interdental brush in the prior art when cleaning a gap between molars is avoided.
