DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] The following embodiments of the present application are illustrated by way of specific examples, and other advantages and effects of the present application can be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the contents disclosed in the specification.

[0058] Please refer to Figures 1 to 20 It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings of the specification are merely used to understand and read the contents disclosed in the specification by those skilled in the art, and are not used to limit the conditions that the present application can be implemented, and therefore do not have technical significance.

Meanwhile, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", and "one" used in the specification are merely for the convenience of clear description, and are not used to limit the scope of the present application, and the change or adjustment of the relative relationship, without substantially changing the technical content, should also be considered as the scope of the present application.

[0059] The following embodiments are only for illustration. The embodiments can be combined, and are not limited to the contents shown in the following single embodiment.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 to 15This invention provides an embodiment of an ultrasonic oral irrigator, comprising: a nozzle assembly and a handle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes an amplitude transformer, which is an amplitude transformer rod 11. The amplitude transformer rod 11 has a first water channel 111 inside, a water outlet 112 at its front end, and a water inlet 113 at its rear end. The first water channel 111 extends from the water inlet 113 to the water outlet 112. The handle assembly includes a housing 21 and a transducer 22. The rear end of the amplitude transformer rod 11 is connected to the transducer 22, which is installed inside the housing 21. The front end of the amplitude transformer rod 11 extends out of the housing 21. By providing a water channel on the amplitude transformer rod 11, the water channel structure is simplified, making manufacturing easier. Simultaneously, the water pressure is less prone to attenuation, and the amplitude transformer rod 11 can better cavitate the water during vibration, thus achieving a better teeth cleaning effect. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1 to 9 , Figures 10 to 15 The first water channel 111 includes a converging section 1111, the diameter of which decreases from large to small along the water spray direction. The converging structure of the first water channel 111 makes it easier for the water pressure to decrease when the water is sprayed out, resulting in a better flushing effect.

[0061] In this embodiment, the transducer 22 is mounted inside the housing 21 via a rigid structure or an elastic structure. The rigid structure can be installed using bolts or threads, or it can be a welded structure. The elastic structure can be installed using elastic rubber.

[0062] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 10 , Figure 14 The transducer 22 is mounted inside the housing 21 via an elastic structure. This elastic structure prevents the vibration of the transducer 22 from being disturbed by the housing 21, thereby improving vibration performance and ensuring the cavitation effect of the amplitude transformer 11 on the water. This elastic structure can be a soft rubber sleeve 223, which is fitted onto the transducer 22. A soft rubber pad 220 can also be provided at the bottom of the transducer 22.

[0063] In this embodiment, please refer to... Figures 1 to 9 , Figures 10 to 15 The outlet 112 is a conical orifice with a diameter that gradually increases along the spray direction. The converging section 1111 and the outlet 112 form a water channel structure that first contracts and then expands. This first convergence and then expansion ensures that the water pressure does not easily decrease and also maintains the shape of the sprayed water column.

[0064] In this embodiment, the convergence segment 1111 is a gradually converging structure and / or the convergence segment 1111 is a sudden convergence structure. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation] for details. Figures 1 to 9 , Figures 10 to 15, the converging section 1111 is a stepped gradient structure, and the converging section 1111 comprises at least one tapered hole 11111, when there are multiple tapered holes 11111, each of the tapered holes 11111 is connected in sequence. That is, the taper of the adjacent tapered holes 11111 is different, the large hole of one tapered hole 11111 is equal to the small hole of another tapered hole 11111, forming a gradient converging structure. The gradient converging structure makes the water channel have small disturbance to water. Figure 5 In the embodiment, the tapered hole 11111 is only one, that is, a one-order convergence; when it is a multi-order convergence, it can make the hole diameter of the first water channel 111 change faster, which is convenient for the design of the generated demand.

[0065] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , the outer wall of the amplitude transformer 11 is an equal-diameter structure.

[0066] In the embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 7 , the outer wall of the amplitude transformer 11 is a variable-diameter structure, and the outer diameter of the amplitude transformer 11 gradually decreases along the water spraying direction. The water inlet end is the large end, and the water outlet end is the small end. In order to have sufficient energy exchange, the amplitude transformer 11 functions to amplify the amplitude value of ultrasonic wave vibration. According to the vibration principle, the diameter should gradually decrease from the large end to the small end. The diameter ratio of the large end to the small end is the amplification coefficient of the amplitude transformer 11. The diameter of the large end is designed to be 8-20 mm, and the optimal value is 10 mm. The diameter of the small end of the amplitude transformer 11 is designed to be 1-5 mm, and the optimal value is 2 mm. At the same time, the water channel inside the amplitude transformer 11 is designed to be a converging water channel. Since the water channel penetrates through the amplitude transformer 11, if the water channel is designed to be an equal-diameter straight-through structure, the diameter should be smaller than the minimum diameter of the amplitude transformer 11. If so, the water channel can only be designed to be an elongated equal-diameter pipeline, which will cause serious attenuation of water pressure. After multiple design verifications, the water channel is designed to be converging from large to small, which basically guarantees the smoothness of the water channel and the processability and implementability of the project.

[0067] In the embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the outer contour of the front end of the amplitude transformer 11 is a blunt structure. The product applied to the oral cavity requires that the instrument avoid sharp corners, sharp edges and other structures that are easy to cause harm. Optionally, the outer contour of the front end of the amplitude transformer 11 is provided with a chamfer structure. Optionally, the outer contour of the front end of the amplitude transformer 11 is an arc structure. The arc structure 114 of the outer contour can be a water-drop-like structure or a spherical structure.

[0068] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the water outlet 112 is at an angle with the axis of the amplitude transformer 11. Optionally, the front end of the amplitude transformer 11 is a bending structure, and the bending angle of the front end of the amplitude transformer 11 is 0°-90°.

[0069] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the water outlet 112 of the water jet direction and the axis of the boom 11 parallel.

[0070] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 , the front end of the boom 11 is provided with a standing wave cavity 115, the water inlet of the standing wave cavity 115 is communicated with the first water channel 111, the water outlet 112 and the standing wave cavity 115 are communicated, water enters the standing wave cavity through the back, and then is sprayed out by the water outlet. The standing wave cavity 115 can effectively improve the strength of ultrasonic cavitation, so that the disinfection / sterilization effect is better.

[0071] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figures 11 to 15 , the spray head assembly further comprises a sheath 12, the sheath 12 is sleeved on the boom 11, and the front end of the boom 11 protrudes from the front end of the sheath 12. The sheath 12 can protect the boom 11.

[0073] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 , the water jet direction of the water jet 121 and the axis of the boom 11 form an angle. It is convenient to operate when cleaning. Optionally, the water jet 121 gradually increases in aperture along the water jet direction. The gradually increasing aperture can ensure the shape of the sprayed water column. Optionally, the sheath 12 is connected to the boom 11 through an elastic structure. The vibration interference of the sheath 12 to the boom 11 is reduced. Optionally, the sheath 12 is connected to the boom 11 through an elastic rubber ring 122, the elastic rubber ring 122 is sleeved on the front end of the boom 11, and the elastic rubber ring 122 is located in the sheath 12; the sheath can also be connected to the shell.

The specific dismounting purpose is shown in the next embodiment, and of course the structure can also be designed as a non-dismounting structure.
