[0035] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a dental flosser is proposed, comprising: a head assembly 3 and a water tank assembly 4; the head assembly 3 includes a housing 310, a sterilization device 5, and a drying device; the lower end of the housing 310 is connected to the water tank assembly 4, and the upper end of the housing 310 is provided with a liquid injection opening 311, forming a liquid injection channel communicating with the water tank assembly 4 within the housing 310; the drying device includes a drying power component 318 and drying blades 319, the drying power component 318 is installed inside the housing 310, and the front end of the drying drive part of the drying power component 318 extends out of the lower end of the housing 310 to drive the drying blades 319 installed at the front end of the drying drive part; the water tank assembly 4 includes a water tank shell. 410, a water tank door 411 is provided on the lower side of the water tank housing 410, and a water tank plug 412 is detachably connected to the water tank door 411; the air drying device is used to drive airflow to flow through the water tank door 411, the water tank assembly 4, the liquid injection channel and the liquid injection opening 311; the sterilization device 5 includes a sterilization light-emitting component disposed at the lower end of the housing 310; a sterilization first accommodating part 501 is provided at the lower end of the housing 310, the sterilization light-emitting component is disposed in the sterilization first accommodating part 501, and a sterilization light-transmitting component 504 is provided at the opening of the sterilization first accommodating part 501, the sterilization light-transmitting component 504 allows the light emitted by the sterilization light-emitting component to pass through and seals the opening of the sterilization accommodating part.

[0038] Specifically, a first recess 312 is formed at the lower end of the housing 310. The first recess 312 is provided with a liquid injection outlet 314 that connects to the liquid injection channel. A second recess 313 is also provided adjacent to the first recess 312. The depth of the second recess 313 is less than that of the first recess 312 and the two are connected. The drying blade 319 is disposed in the second recess 313. Therefore, the drying blade 319 will not encroach on the internal space of the water tank housing 410 and will not affect the original capacity of the water tank housing 410 to hold cleaning liquid.

[0039] More specifically, the inner side of the housing 310 is provided with a drying power bracket 315, which is equipped with a drying motor as the drying power component 318; the bottom of the housing 310 is provided with a drying shaft hole 316 that connects to the second recess 313, and the output shaft of the drying motor passes through the drying shaft hole 316. The output shaft of the drying motor and the drying shaft hole 316 are rotatably sealed to prevent the cleaning liquid in the water tank from entering the drying power bracket 315 through the drying shaft hole 316 during use, causing a short circuit in the drying power component 318.

[0040] To further enhance the waterproof function, on the one hand, the air-drying power component 318 can be set as a waterproof motor; on the other hand, the air-drying power bracket 315 is cylindrical. The air-drying motor is sealed inside the air-drying power bracket 315 with waterproof adhesive, or the air-drying power bracket 315 is provided with a shielding component to seal the air-drying motor inside the air-drying power bracket 315. Under this sealed structure, even if the cleaning fluid enters the interior of the air-drying power bracket 315, it will not enter the housing 310, thereby protecting other electrical components inside the head assembly 3.

[0041] To ensure the drying effect, the outer diameter of the drying blade 319 extends beyond the second recess 313. When the drying blade 319 is viewed from above along its axial direction, the projection of the drying blade 319 during rotation falls into the first recess 312. This structure allows the airflow generated by the agitation of the drying blade 319 to better enter the first recess 312, or the airflow agitated by the drying blade 319 can enter the second recess 313 from the first recess 312.

[0042] While ensuring the drying effect, the addition of cleaning fluid may impact the drying blade 319, thereby causing damage to the drying blade 319. Therefore, when the drying blade 319 is viewed from above along its axial direction, the projection of the drying blade 319 during rotation is outside the range of the injection outlet 314.

[0043] To facilitate the installation of the water tank structure, a water tank bottom pad 413 is provided at the bottom of the water tank shell 410, the water tank door 411 is provided on the side wall at the lower end of the water tank shell 410, and the water tank plug 412 is rotatably connected to the water tank bottom pad 413.

[0044] Furthermore, the oral irrigator proposed in this application also has a storage function, wherein the water tank housing 410 is sleeved on the machine housing 310, and the machine housing 310 can be inserted and stored in the water tank housing 410.

[0045] The specific structural configuration of the housing 310 is as follows: the upper end of the housing 310 forms an upper opening for the head housing, and an upper cover 320 for the head housing is installed at the upper opening. The upper cover 320 for the head housing has the liquid injection opening 311, which extends inward to form a liquid injection pipe 321. The bottom of the housing 310 has a liquid injection pipe connection part 317, which communicates with the liquid injection outlet 314. The liquid injection pipe 321 is sealed and inserted into the liquid injection pipe connection part 317, forming part of the liquid injection channel. The liquid injection opening 311 is equipped with a liquid injection sealing cap 322, and the upper cover 320 for the head housing is fitted with a head housing decorative cap 323. The liquid injection sealing cap 322 is detachably connected to the head housing decorative cap.

[0046] The sterilization device 5 employs the following structure to ensure its airtightness, preventing the cleaning solution in the water tank from entering the sterilization device 5. A second sterilization container 502 is provided around the outer periphery of the first sterilization container 501, and the sterilization light-transmitting component 504 is snapped into the second sterilization container 502. A third sterilization container 503 is provided at the bottom of the second sterilization container 502, and a sterilization sealing component 505 is disposed within the third sterilization container 503. Part of the sterilization sealing component 505 is exposed outside the third sterilization container 503 and elastically abuts against the sterilization light-transmitting component 504. A sterilization protrusion 506 is provided at the lower end of the housing 310, and the first sterilization container 501 is formed within the sterilization protrusion 506. A sterilization bracket 507 is fitted around the outer periphery of the sterilization protrusion 506, and this sterilization bracket 507 abuts against the sterilization light-transmitting component 504 to prevent the sterilization light-transmitting component 504 from falling off. The upper end of the sterilization bracket 507 forms a sterilization bracket fitting groove 508, through which the sterilization bracket 507 is fitted onto the sterilization protrusion 506. The sterilization bracket 507 is provided with a sterilization bracket light-transmitting part 509, and the water tank assembly 4 includes a water tank shell 410. The cross-sectional shape of the sterilization bracket light-transmitting part 509 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the water tank shell 410.

[0047] Furthermore, to control the range of ultraviolet irradiation generated by the sterilization device 5, the sterilization bracket 507 is provided with a light-transmitting part 509. One end of the sterilization bracket 507 facing the water tank assembly 4 has a sterilization light-guiding chamfer 510 on the outer periphery of the light-transmitting part 509. For example, the irradiation angle of the sterilization light is 120 degrees, and the water tank assembly 4 includes a water tank shell 410, which is fitted onto the housing 310. The housing 310 can be inserted into and housed within the water tank shell 410. The water tank shell 410 is transparent. Since water flossers are often placed on washbasins or similar locations, their surroundings are often damp, leading to bacterial growth and mold. Therefore, making the water tank shell 410 transparent allows the water flosser to function as an ultraviolet sterilizing lamp to irradiate and sterilize the surrounding environment.

[0048] However, the irradiation range of the front side of the water flosser during the sterilization process should be controlled to a small range. The front side of the housing 310 is provided with an operation button, and the portion of the light-transmitting part 509 of the sterilization frame facing the front side of the housing 310 is provided with a second light guide chamfer 511, so that the range of the sterilization light-emitting component irradiating the front side of the water tank housing 410 is smaller than the irradiation range of the other sides of the water tank housing 410.

[0049] Specifically, in this application, the sterilization and light-emitting component includes a sterilization circuit board 512 and ultraviolet LED beads 513 disposed on the sterilization circuit board 512.

[0050] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "one example," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0051] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make several simple deductions or substitutions without departing from the concept of this application.
