[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0022] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses an intelligent dental flosser, including a base cavity adapted to the shape of the gums, a driving device disposed inside the base cavity, and a brush blade with bristles that can be installed on the surface of the driving device, which drives the brush blade to brush the teeth.

[0023] Specifically, a positioning groove for mounting a drive device is provided within the matrix cavity, and connecting drive blocks are installed at intervals on the drive device, such as... Figure 2 As shown, brush blades 21 with bristles 211 on their surfaces can be installed on the upper and lower sides of the connecting drive block 2, and slide rods are installed inside the connecting drive block, such as... Figure 3 As shown, brush blades 31 with bristles 32 are installed on the left and right sides of the slide bar 3, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, while the flexible shaft 4 drives the connecting drive block 2 to move back and forth, the connecting drive block can drive the slide rod 3 inside it to move up and down. The driving device is a flexible shaft, which can drive the brush blade to brush teeth by driving a section of the flexible shaft or a connecting drive block to move back and forth. The base cavity is composed of an upper base and a lower base that are adapted to the shape of the gum. Guide grooves are opened at the top and bottom of the base cavity opposite to the connecting drive block, and the protrusions at the upper and lower ends of the connecting drive block are limited in the corresponding guide grooves. The brush blade with bristles is installed on the connecting drive block opposite to the occlusal surface of the teeth. A vertical inclined groove 22 is provided in the connecting drive block, and the slide rod is located in the inclined groove, which can drive the slide rod to move up and down. On both sides of the base cavity opposite to each slide rod, there are inner and outer surface cleaning guide grooves, and the two ends of the slide rod are limited in the corresponding inner and outer surface cleaning guide grooves. The brush blades on both sides of the slide rod are adapted to the shape of the gum.

[0024] This embodiment also discloses a teeth cleaning method. Using the aforementioned intelligent teeth cleaning device, after the device is placed in the mouth, the teeth bite into the cavity of the device. A flexible shaft or a connecting drive block is driven to move back and forth, causing the flexible shaft to move back and forth within the cavity of the device. During the back-and-forth movement of the flexible shaft, the connecting drive block can be driven to reciprocate back and forth, and the slide rod can be driven to reciprocate up and down. During the back-and-forth movement of the connecting drive block, the bristles on its upper and lower sides can clean the occlusal surfaces of the teeth. During the up-and-down movement of the slide rod, the bristles on its left and right sides can clean the inner and outer surfaces of the teeth. After cleaning, the back-and-forth movement of the flexible shaft is stopped, and the intelligent teeth cleaning device is removed from the mouth.
