[0023] It should also be understood that the terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. As used in the specification of the present invention and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms.

[0024] It should be further understood that the term " / and" as used in the specification of the present invention and the appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the related listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the present invention discloses a water flosser water pump, which includes a control board 10, a housing 20, a magnetic induction component 30 and a spring 40. The housing includes a first housing 21 and a second housing 22 connected to each other. The control board is installed on the second housing. A first cylindrical cavity 211 and a second cylindrical cavity 221 that are connected and coaxial are provided inside the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. The first cylindrical cavity is provided inside the first housing, and the second cylindrical cavity is provided inside the second housing. The magnetic induction component is provided inside the first cylindrical cavity and the second cylindrical cavity. The magnetic induction component 30 includes a stator electromagnetic coil assembly 31 and a rotor assembly 32. A part of the rotor assembly penetrates into the stator electromagnetic coil assembly. The rotor assembly 32 includes a connecting shaft 321, a piston 322, a magnet 323 and a magnetic ring 324. The piston, the magnet and the magnetic ring are all sleeved on the connecting shaft. One end of the spring is connected to one end of the connecting shaft, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the outside. The magnetic ring is arranged close to the spring. The magnet is arranged inside the stator electromagnetic coil assembly, and the magnetic ring is arranged outside the stator electromagnetic coil assembly.

[0026] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic coil assembly generates a magnetic field inside the electromagnetic coil assembly through the control line of the control board, so as to act on the magnet inside the electromagnetic coil assembly, driving the magnet, the connecting rod, the piston and the magnetic ring to slide inside the first cylindrical cavity and the second cylindrical cavity, thereby forming a pulsed water pressure. The magnetic ring sends a signal to the controller on the control board under the Hall signal, so as to control the position of the magnetic ring. Since the piston and the magnetic ring move synchronously, the movement of the piston stops at a set distance through the action of the magnetic ring. There is no transmission loss in this application, the efficiency of the water pump is high, and the transmission components of the water pump are reduced, reducing the volume of the water flosser water pump. This application removes the gear assembly, improves the noise of the gear assembly, and has a simpler structure.

[0027] In an alternative embodiment, the stator electromagnetic coil assembly 31 includes an electromagnetic coil 311 and a mounting shell 312. A through-hole portion 3121 is provided inside the mounting shell 312, and the magnet is arranged inside the through-hole portion. A groove ring portion 3122 is provided on the side wall of the mounting shell, and the electromagnetic coil is arranged inside the groove portion. The electromagnetic coil is connected to the control board, and the current passing through the electromagnetic coil is controlled by the control board to generate a changing magnetic field, thereby controlling the movement of the rotor assembly.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, the mounting shell is a stepped cylindrical member. The mounting shell 312 includes a first step 3123 and a second step 3124. The diameter of the first step is greater than that of the second step. The groove ring portion is provided on the side wall of the first step. The second cylindrical cavity 221 is in the shape of a stepped hole, which includes a first-stage hole portion 2211 and a second-stage hole portion 2212. The diameter of the first-stage hole portion is adapted to the diameter of the first step of the mounting shell, and the diameter of the second-stage hole portion is adapted to the diameter of the second step of the mounting shell. In this embodiment, the mounting shell is disposed within the first-stage hole portion and the second-stage hole portion of the second cylindrical cavity. The first housing 21 includes a cylindrical portion 214 and a circular ring plate portion 215. The circular ring plate portion is disposed at one end of the cylindrical portion, and the circular ring plate portion is connected to the opening at the first-stage hole portion of the second housing.

[0029] In an alternative embodiment, the magnetic induction assembly 30 further includes a sliding bearing 33 sleeved on the connecting shaft. The second cylindrical cavity further includes a third-stage hole portion 2213 and a fourth-stage hole portion 2214. The diameter of the third-stage hole portion is adapted to the outer diameter of the sliding bearing. By providing the sliding bearing, the stability of the movement of the mover assembly is increased. Specifically, the diameter of the third-stage hole portion is smaller than that of the second-stage hole portion, and the diameter of the fourth-stage hole portion is smaller than that of the third-stage hole portion. The magnetic ring is disposed within the fourth-stage hole portion, and the spring is disposed within the fourth-stage hole portion. One end of the spring is connected to the end of the connecting shaft within the fourth-stage hole portion, and the other end of the spring is connected to the outside. The spring will also elastically deform as the connecting shaft moves. In this embodiment, the first-stage hole portion, the second-stage hole portion, the third-stage hole portion, and the fourth-stage hole portion are arranged in sequence. The piston is disposed at the end away from the spring. The first housing 21 includes a water inlet 212 and a water outlet 213 that communicate with the first cylindrical cavity. The piston is disposed near the water inlet and the water outlet of the connecting shaft to prevent water from entering the through-hole portion of the mounting shell. In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the through-hole portion on the mounting shell is greater than the diameter of the first cylindrical cavity. Specifically, the piston is disposed within the first cylindrical cavity, and the outer diameter of the piston is the same as the inner diameter of the first cylindrical cavity; the magnet is disposed within the through-hole portion of the mounting shell, and the outer diameter of the magnet is the same as the inner diameter of the through-hole portion. That is, the magnet cannot slide within the first cylindrical cavity, and the magnet also plays a positioning role to limit the piston to slide within the first cylindrical cavity, further ensuring that water does not enter the through-hole.

[0030] This application also relates to a dental irrigator, which includes the above-mentioned dental irrigator water pump. It should be noted that one-way valves are provided at the water inlet and the water outlet of the dental irrigator water pump to control the flow direction of water.
