And the handle 502 includes a head mounting portion 502a and a handle portion 502 b. To ensure that the handle 502 is tightly connected to the head 501, the design dimensions of the head mounting portion 502a of the handle 502 are substantially the same as the design dimensions of the handle mounting cavity of the head 501.

In the process of manufacturing the brush, the brush head 501 and the handle 502 are manufactured and formed separately, and then the handle 502 is mounted in the brush head 501 to complete the assembly of the brush. Brush assembly is an important process in the brush production process, which includes two main operating steps: step one, handle installation: insert brush head installation department 502a with brush holder 502 to the brush holder installation intracavity of brush head 501, the second step is fixed: the brush head 501 is stamped using a nailing mechanism or a punching mechanism to achieve a secure connection of the brush handle 502 and the brush head 501.
