Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oral care technology, and in particular to a base station unit, an oral care device and a vibration reduction structure. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, the water flosser uses a motor to drive a water pump to generate a high-speed water flow or a pulsed water flow. These water flows can penetrate deep into the hard-to-clean areas of the teeth and gums to effectively remove food debris and bacteria.

[0003] However, the motor and the water pump are often directly connected to the outer shell of the base station unit. During use, the operation of the motor and the water pump will cause the outer shell to generate noise, affecting the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a base station unit, an oral care device and a vibration reduction structure, which can reduce the vibration and noise of the base station unit and improve the user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present application provides a base station unit, including:

[0006] A main housing having a receiving chamber;

[0007] A first bearing member located in the accommodating chamber, the first bearing member is connected to the main housing and divides the accommodating chamber into a first cavity located at the top and a second cavity located at the bottom;

[0008] The first power assembly is connected to the first bearing member and suspended in the second cavity.

[0009] The technical solution provided by the present application is that the first power assembly is connected to the first bearing member and suspended in the second cavity. In other words, there is a predetermined height between the first power assembly and the bottom of the main housing, and the first power assembly is suspended relative to the bottom of the main housing, so that an air or space gap can be formed between the first power assembly and the bottom of the main housing, and this gap can be used as a vibration isolation layer to prevent the vibration of the first power assembly from being directly transmitted to the bottom of the main housing in contact with the table where the base station unit is placed, thereby reducing the vibration transmission to the main housing. At the same time, when the first power assembly is running, the vibration generated by the first power assembly first acts on the first bearing member, rather than being directly transmitted to the main housing. In this way, the first bearing member is deformed when it is vibrated to absorb vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration transmission of the first power assembly to the main housing through the first bearing member. In this way, as the vibration on the main housing is reduced, the noise generated by the vibration of the main housing can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0010] To achieve the above object, the present application further provides a base station unit, comprising:

[0011] A main housing having a receiving chamber;

[0012] a first bearing member located in the accommodating chamber, comprising a support member, a first connecting member and a first connecting arm, wherein the support member is connected to the main housing, a first notch penetrating the support member is provided in the middle of the support member, the first connecting member is located in the first notch and connected to the support member through the first connecting arm;

[0013] A first power assembly is connected to the first connecting member and suspended in the accommodating chamber.

[0014] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application also provides an oral care device on the other hand, which comprises at least a base station unit and an oral cleaner, wherein the base station unit is connected to the oral cleaner through a delivery pipeline, and the base station unit can deliver liquid to the oral cleaner through the delivery pipeline so that the liquid is sprayed through the cleaning head of the oral cleaner.

[0015] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application also provides a vibration-damping structure on the other hand, which comprises at least a support member, a first connecting member and a first connecting arm, wherein a first notch is provided in the middle of the support member, and the first notch passes through the support member; the first connecting member is located in the first notch and is connected to the support member through the first connecting arm, and the first connecting arm has a bending portion.

[0044] With the development of oral cleaning equipment, more and more oral cleaning equipment with different functions have been produced, such as water flossers with only rinsing function and water flossers with both rinsing and brushing functions. When the above two types of equipment are used for rinsing, the base station unit needs to provide water flow to output water flow impact, so as to flush away food residues, bacteria, tartar, stains and other substances harmful to dental health attached to the gums of teeth, so as to achieve the effect of oral health care.

[0045] In the related art, in order to fix the motor and the water pump, the motor and the water pump are usually directly connected to the outer shell of the base station unit. When the base station unit transports water, it needs to use the power of the motor to drive the water pump to pump and drain water. The motor and the water pump will generate vibration and noise during their operation, which will cause the vibration of the motor and the water pump to be directly transmitted to the outer shell, thereby causing the outer shell to vibrate together, aggravating the generation of noise and affecting the user experience.

[0046] In response to the above technical problems, the inventor of this application has come up with the idea of ​​connecting the motor and the water pump to the internal housing through a connecting arm, thereby using the connecting arm to suspend the motor and the water pump to prevent the vibration of the motor and the water pump from being directly transmitted to the outer housing, and the deformation of the slender connecting arm with a curved portion can also be used to absorb vibration energy, thereby further reducing the vibration of the motor and the water pump, thereby reducing the generation of noise and improving the user experience. At the same time, the applicant also coated the soft rubber between the connecting arm and the internal housing, thereby utilizing the good elasticity and damping properties of the soft rubber to absorb and reduce the vibration transmitted from the motor and the water pump to the outer housing, thereby further reducing noise and improving the operating stability of the base station unit.

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0048] The present application provides a base station unit 1000, which can be used as a separate component in conjunction with an oral cleaner 2000 to provide liquid for rinsing the oral cleaner 2000. Of course, the base station unit 1000 can also be integrated with a charging module, and the base station unit 1000 charges the oral cleaner 2000 through the charging module, which is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0049] Please also see Figure 1 to Figure 2 In an achievable implementation, the base station unit 1000 may include at least a main housing 100, which serves as the main body of the base station unit 1000 and can support and protect other components of the base station unit 1000 except the main housing 100. The main housing 100 may be a hollow structure, and a receiving chamber 110 is formed inside the main housing 100.

[0050] In this embodiment, the base station unit 1000 may further include a first bearing member 200 and a first power assembly 300. The first bearing member 200 is located in the accommodating chamber 110. The first bearing member 200 is connected to the main housing 100 and divides the accommodating chamber 110 into a first cavity 111 located at the top and a second cavity 112 located at the bottom. The first cavity 111 may be used to accommodate the control assembly of the base station unit 1000, and the second cavity 112 may be used to accommodate the first power assembly 300. Thus, when the first power assembly 300 or the pipeline connected thereto has an accidental leakage, since the first cavity 111 is located above the second cavity 112, the possibility of liquid infiltration into the first cavity 111 may be reduced, thereby preventing the spread of the fault.

[0051] The first power assembly 300 serves as a power source for the base station unit 1000, and the first power assembly 300 can extract and discharge liquid based on the control of the control assembly. The first power assembly 300 is connected to the first bearing member 200 and suspended in the second cavity 112. In other words, there is a predetermined height between the first power assembly 300 and the bottom of the main housing 100, and the first power assembly 300 is suspended relative to the bottom of the main housing 100, so that an air or space gap can be formed between the first power assembly 300 and the bottom of the main housing 100, and this gap can be used as a vibration isolation layer to prevent the vibration of the first power assembly 300 from being directly transmitted to the bottom of the main housing 100 in contact with the table surface where the base station unit 1000 is placed, thereby reducing the vibration transmission to the main housing 100.

[0052] At the same time, when the first power assembly 300 is running, the vibration generated by the first power assembly 300 first acts on the first bearing member 200, rather than being directly transmitted to the main housing 100. In this way, the vibration energy can be absorbed by the deformation of the first bearing member 200 during vibration, thereby reducing the vibration transmission of the first power assembly 300 to the main housing 100 through the first bearing member 200. In this way, as the vibration on the main housing 100 is reduced, the noise generated by the vibration of the main housing 100 can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0053] It should be noted that the up and down directions defined in this application refer to the Figure 1 The placement perspective of the base station unit 1000 shown is the upper and lower positions of the base station unit 1000 in a normal use state.

[0054] In a feasible implementation, the base station unit 1000 may further include a liquid storage module 500, and the first power assembly 300 is used to extract the liquid in the liquid storage module 500 and discharge it to the oral cleaner 2000, thereby realizing the oral rinse function.

[0055] In practical applications, the liquid storage module 500 can be a liquid storage cavity surrounded by the main housing 100 and having the function of accommodating liquid. The liquid storage module 500 can also be detachably mounted on the main housing 100 as a separate water tank. For example, the main housing 100 has a receiving groove recessed from the top for placing the liquid storage module 500. The main housing 100 can be detachably mounted in the receiving groove. When the liquid storage module 500 is installed in the receiving groove, the first power assembly 300 can be connected to the inside of the liquid storage module 500 to facilitate extraction of liquid in the liquid storage module 500. The receiving groove can limit the main shell 100 to form an L-shaped structure. Correspondingly, the receiving chamber 110 can also be L-shaped. The above-mentioned first cavity 111 can be composed of the upper part of the vertical cavity of the L-shaped receiving chamber 110, and the second cavity 112 is composed of the lower part of the vertical cavity of the L-shaped receiving chamber 110 and the horizontal cavity of the receiving chamber 110. The first power component 300 can extend from the lower part of the vertical cavity of the receiving chamber 110 to the horizontal cavity of the receiving chamber 110.

[0056] Regarding the specific structure of the first bearing member 200, as shown in FIG. Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in an achievable embodiment, the first bearing member 200 may include a support member 210, a first connecting member 220 and a first connecting arm 230, and the number of the first connecting arm 230 may be one, two or more. The support member 210 is connected to the main housing 100, so that the first bearing member 200 is connected to the main housing 100. The middle area of ​​the support member 210 is provided with a first notch 211 that penetrates the support member 210, and the first cavity 111 can be connected to the second cavity 112 through the first notch 211. The first connecting member 220 is at least partially located in the first notch 211, and the first connecting member 220 is connected to the support member 210 through the first connecting arm 230, and the first power assembly 300 is connected to the first connecting member 220. The first connecting arm 230 will deform after being subjected to force, so as to absorb vibration energy by using the deformation of the first connecting arm 230, and reduce the vibration transmission of the first power assembly 300 to the main housing 100 through the first bearing member 200. Furthermore, the first connecting member 220 connected to the first power assembly 300 is connected to the support member 210 through the first connecting arm 230. There is a gap between the first connecting member 220 and the support member 210, which can effectively isolate vibration through the gap and reduce the vibration transmission between the first power assembly 300 and the main housing 100. At the same time, it is preferred that two or more first connecting arms 230 are provided, and the first connecting member 220 is connected to the support member 210 by at least two first connecting arms 230, so as to avoid the situation of unstable unilateral connection and ensure the connection stability between the first power assembly 300 and the support member 210.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first connecting arm 230 can be of an elongated structure, and the first connecting arm 230 can be made of hard rubber material. The first connecting arm 230 realizes deformation by using its own shape characteristics, so as to absorb vibration energy through the deformation and reduce the vibration transmission from the first power component 300 to the main housing 100. At the same time, the first connecting arm 230 made of hard rubber material can also have a certain strength to avoid the problems of being broken by force and permanent deformation. Of course, the first connecting arm 230 can also be made of other materials with a certain strength and capable of generating a certain degree of deformation.

[0058] In practical applications, the support member 210 can be directly or indirectly connected to the main housing 100. When the support member 210 is directly connected to the main housing 100, the main housing 100, the support member 210, the first connecting member 220, and the first connecting arm 230 can be integrally formed by injection molding or the like, thereby simplifying the production process, reducing the production cost, and at the same time ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the main housing 100, the support member 210, the first connecting member 220, and the first connecting arm 230. Of course, the main housing 100 can also be integrally formed with a part of the support member 210, the first connecting member 220, and the first connecting arm 230, or the main housing 100, the support member 210, the first connecting member 220, and the first connecting arm 230 are separately formed and then connected to each other.

[0059] Furthermore, the first connecting arm 230 can have at least one bending portion, that is to say, the first connecting arm 230 has a bending design, so that the deformation range of the first connecting arm 230 can be further increased through the bending design, and the vibration damping effect of the first connecting arm 230 can be improved.

[0060] In practical applications, the bending portion of the first connecting arm 230 can have one, two, three, or four, etc. When the first connecting arm 230 has one bending portion, the first connecting arm 230 can be in the shape of a "Ji" character as Figure 5 shown.

[0061] As Figure 5 to Figure 6As shown, in an achievable embodiment, the first connecting member 220 may include an intermediate frame 221 and a first connecting column 222, the first power assembly 300 is connected to the first connecting column 222, and the number of the first connecting column 222 may be one, two or more. The first connecting column 222 is preferably provided with two or more, at least two first connecting columns 222 are connected to the edge of the intermediate frame 221, and at least two first connecting arms 230 are connected to at least two first connecting columns 222 through the intermediate frame 221. In this way, compared with the manner in which each first connecting column 222 is connected to the support member 210 through the first connecting arm 230, the present application simplifies the structure of the first bearing member 200 by connecting at least two first connecting columns 222 to the intermediate frame 221, and connecting the intermediate frame 221 to the support member 210 through the first connecting arm 230.

[0062] At the same time, the first connection column 222 connected to the first power assembly 300 is connected to the edge of the intermediate frame 221, that is, the intermediate frame 221 does not completely surround the first connection column 222. In this way, there is a non-connected area between the first connection column 222 and the intermediate frame 221 in the circumferential direction, which can further reduce the circumferential vibration transmission of the first power assembly 300 through the first connection column 222.

[0063] In practical applications, such as Figure 7 As shown, a mounting column 311 may be provided at the top of the first power component 300, and the first connecting column 222 may be provided with an inner cavity for accommodating the mounting column 311. The mounting column 311 may enter the inner cavity of the first connecting column 222 and be connected to the first connecting column 222 by means of clipping, bonding, interference fit, or screw fastening.

[0064] The shape of the first notch 211 can be triangle, circle, square or any other shape.

[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, taking the first notch 211 being roughly circular as an example, the number of the first connecting columns 222 and the first connecting arms 230 can be the same, and at least two first connecting columns 222 and at least two first connecting arms 230 are arranged alternately in sequence and are arranged in a circular array about the axis of the first notch 211. In other words, there is a first connecting arm 230 between two adjacent first connecting columns 222, and two adjacent first connecting columns 222 are symmetrically arranged about the first connecting arm 230 located between the two adjacent first connecting columns 222. In this way, the uniformity and stability of the first connecting arm 230 supporting the first connecting member 220 can be ensured, and at the same time, the vibration from the first power assembly 300 can be uniformly transmitted to the first notch 211 through the first connecting column 222 and the first connecting arm 230, so as to be uniformly distributed on the main housing 100, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive noise caused by concentrated vibration.

[0066] It should be noted that the first notch 211 can be a complete circle. However, in the actual design process, the first notch 211 is often limited by the components inside the main housing 100 to form a corresponding inwardly extending or outwardly extending area to form a quasi-circular shape. The complete circle and the quasi-circular shape are both roughly circular shapes defined above.

[0067] The number of the first connecting posts 222 and the first connecting arms 230 can be two, three, four, five, etc. For example, if the number of the first connecting posts 222 and the first connecting arms 230 is three, the three first connecting arms 230 are respectively connected to the side walls of the intermediate frame 221 between two adjacent first connecting posts 222.

[0068] In practical applications, the intermediate frame 221 may be in a triangular shape, the three first connecting columns 222 are respectively connected to the three vertices of the intermediate frame 221, and the three first connecting arms 230 are respectively connected to the midpoints of the three sides of the intermediate frame 221. The three sides of the intermediate frame 221 may also be in an arc shape that is concave inward, so that the intermediate frame 221 also has a certain deformation ability, so that the vibration energy is absorbed through the deformation of the intermediate frame 221, thereby reducing the vibration transmission of the first power assembly 300 to the main housing 100 through the first bearing member 200.

[0069] In order to further reduce the vibration transmission of the first power assembly 300 to the main housing 100 through the first bearing member 200, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, in an achievable implementation, the first bearing member 200 may further include a first covering member 240 made of soft glue, wherein the soft glue is a material with elasticity and softness, and may be made of a variety of different polymers, such as natural or synthetic rubber, silicone rubber, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), soft PVC, etc. The first covering member 240 at least partially covers at least one of the support member 210, the first connecting member 220, and the first connecting arm 230. In this way, when the first power assembly 300 transmits vibration through the first connecting member 220, the first connecting arm 230, and the support member 210, the first covering member 240 can absorb the vibration by utilizing its own elasticity and damping characteristics, thereby reducing the vibration transmission. At the same time, the first covering member 240 can connect the support member 210, the first connecting member 220 and the first connecting arm 230 to each other to ensure the stability of the support member 210, the first connecting member 220 and the first connecting arm 230, avoid breakage or permanent deformation damage due to vibration, and improve the service life of the first bearing member 200.

[0070] In actual applications, after the support member 210, the first connecting member 220 and the first connecting arm 230 are integrally formed, or after the split designs are connected to each other, the first covering member 240 can cover at least one of the support member 210, the first connecting member 220 and the first connecting arm 230 by secondary injection molding or lamination.

[0071] The first covering member 240 may partially fill the hollow area between the supporting member 210 , the first connecting member 220 and the first connecting arm 230 .

[0072] The above-mentioned first covering member 240 can also completely fill the hollow areas within the support member 210, the first connecting member 220 and the first connecting arm 230 bracket. Accordingly, the outer peripheral surface of the support member 210 is seamlessly connected to the inner wall surface of the main shell 100. In this way, the first bearing member 200 can isolate the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 from each other, and can further avoid the possibility of accidental leakage of liquid in the second cavity 112 entering the first cavity 111, thereby reducing the spread of faults.

[0073] In practical applications, the first covering member 240 can completely cover the intermediate frame 221 and the first connecting arm 230 inside, or only cover the side and bottom surfaces of the intermediate frame 221 and the first connecting arm 230. The first covering member 240 can only cover the side surfaces of the first connecting column 222, so that the vibration transmitted circumferentially by the first connecting column 222 can be damped by the first covering member 240. In order to prevent the first covering member 240 from being disconnected from the first connecting column 222, an outwardly protruding annular flange is provided on the outer wall surface of the first connecting column 222, and the first covering member 240 is only covered below the annular flange. In this way, when the first power assembly 300 applies a downward force to the first connecting column 222, the first covering member 240 can abut against the annular flange to share the force, thereby reducing the possibility of disconnection between the first covering member 240 and the first connecting column 222.

[0074] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figures 10 to 12 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, a plurality of fixing holes 212 may be provided on the support member 210, and the plurality of fixing holes 212 are spaced around the edge of the first notch 211, and the first covering member 240 fills the plurality of fixing holes 212. In this way, the contact area between the first covering member 240 and the support member 210 can be increased, and the adhesion between the first covering member 240 and the support member 210 can be increased, thereby avoiding the possibility of the first covering member 240 falling off during multiple deformation processes, and improving the stability and reliability of the first covering member 240.

[0075] In practical applications, the plurality of fixing holes 212 may be arranged in a circular array around the edge of the first notch 211 , or may be arranged at unequal intervals at least partially around the first notch 211 , which is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0076] It can be understood that when a fixing hole 212 is provided on the support member 210, the fixing hole 212 can be understood as a hollow area on the support member 210. Correspondingly, when the first bearing member 200 needs to isolate the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 from each other, the first covering member 240 not only needs to completely fill the hollow areas in the support member 210, the first connecting member 220 and the first connecting arm 230 bracket, but also needs to fill the fixing hole 212, that is, fill the hollow area on the support member 210.

[0077] Furthermore, the support member 210 may be provided with a step groove 213, which is arranged around the edge of the first notch 211, and the inner wall surface of the step groove 213 is connected to the first notch 211, and a plurality of fixing holes 212 are formed at the bottom of the step groove 213, and the first covering member 240 fills the step groove 213, thereby further increasing the contact area between the first covering member 240 and the support member 210, and increasing the adhesion between the first covering member 240 and the support member 210. At the same time, the provision of the step groove 213 can also make the top and bottom surfaces of the first covering member 240 and the support member 210 substantially flush, so as to ensure the overall aesthetics of the first bearing member 200.

[0078] like Fig.12 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, an annular groove 241 is provided on the bottom surface of the first covering member 240, and the annular groove 241 is located in the first notch 211 and is arranged around the edge of the first notch 211, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 242 are provided in the annular groove 241, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 242 are arranged in an annular array along the annular groove 241, so that the strength of the first covering member 240 is increased by the reinforcing ribs 242, so that the first covering member 240 can better withstand long-term or repeated loads, thereby extending its service life, and the first covering member 240 with higher strength can provide better support for the first power component 300, reduce deformation under high load conditions, and thus improve the stability of the first bearing member 200.

[0079] Regarding the specific structure of the first power assembly 300, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the first power component 300 may include a driving module 310, a transmission module 320 and a water pumping module 330, wherein the top end of the driving module 310 is connected to the first bearing member 200, and the bottom end of the driving module 310 is connected to the water pumping module 330 through the transmission module 320, so that the driving module 310 can drive the water pumping module 330 to operate through the transmission module 320 to extract the liquid in the liquid storage module 500 and discharge it.

[0080] In this embodiment, the driving module 310 can be connected to the pump module 330 through the transmission module 320 to form a whole, and can be integrally installed on the base station unit 1000 or integrally removed from the base station unit 1000. The driving module 310 is located in the vertical cavity of the second cavity 112, the transmission module 320 is located at the junction of the vertical cavity and the horizontal cavity of the second cavity 112, and the pump module 330 is located in the horizontal cavity of the second cavity 112.

[0081] In practical applications, the driving module 310 may be a motor, the transmission module 320 may be a gear box, and the pumping module 330 may be a water pump. A motor frame 312 is mounted on the motor, and correspondingly, the mounting column 311 is formed on the motor frame 312 .

[0082] In order to ensure that the position of the water pump module 330 is relatively fixed and avoid affecting the normal operation of the water pump module 330, the water pump module 330, or the connection between the water pump module 330 and the transmission module 320, is connected to the main housing 100 through the second bearing member 400. At the same time, the second bearing member 400 limits the end of the first power assembly 300 located at the water pump module 330, and can also prevent the water pump module 330 from vibrating significantly, thereby reducing vibration and noise.

[0083] In actual application, in order to ensure that the first power assembly 300 is suspended in the second cavity 112, the second bearing member 400 is connected to the part of the main shell 100 located above or on the side of the water pump module 330, so that the water pump module 330 is still suspended relative to the bottom of the main shell 100.

[0084] Regarding the specific structure of the second bearing member 400 , the present application provides two achievable embodiments for reference.

[0085] Embodiment 1: Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the second bearing member 400 includes a second connecting member 410 and a second connecting arm 420, wherein the second connecting member 410 is connected to the water pump module 330, or the second connecting member 410 is connected to the connection between the water pump module 330 and the transmission module 320. One end of the second connecting arm 420 is connected to the second connecting member 410, and the other end of the second connecting arm 420 is connected to the main housing 100. And the second connecting arm 420 has at least one bent portion.

[0086] In this embodiment, the second connecting arm 420 can be an elongated structure, and the second connecting arm 420 can be made of hard plastic. The second connecting arm 420 uses its own shape characteristics to achieve deformation, thereby using deformation to absorb vibration energy and reduce the vibration transmission from the water pump module 330 to the main housing 100. At the same time, the second connecting arm 420 can be made of hard plastic material, which has a certain strength to avoid the problem of force breakage and permanent deformation. Of course, the second connecting arm 420 can also be made of other materials with a certain strength and a certain degree of deformation.

[0087] In practical applications, the second connecting member 410 can be sleeve-shaped, and the second connecting member 410 is sleeved on the water pump module 330 or the connection between the water pump module 330 and the transmission module 320. The second connecting member 410 can also be formed into a sleeve shape by splicing two arc parts together, and this application does not make specific restrictions on this. The second connecting arm 420 can be directly connected to the main shell 100 or indirectly connected. When the second connecting arm 420 is directly connected to the main shell 100, the main shell 100 and the second connecting arm 420 can be integrally formed by injection molding or the like, thereby simplifying the production process and reducing production costs. Of course, when the second connecting arm 420 is directly connected to the main shell 100, the second connecting arm 420 and the main shell 100 can also be connected by snap-on, hot-melt, adhesive bonding and threaded fastening, and this application does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0088] Furthermore, the second connecting arm 420 may have at least one bending portion, that is, the second connecting arm 420 has a bending design, so that the bending design can further increase the deformation range of the second connecting arm 420 and improve the vibration reduction effect of the second connecting arm 420.

[0089] Embodiment 2: Figure 15 to Figure 16 As shown, the second bearing member 400 includes a third connecting member 430 and a connecting seat 440, wherein the third connecting member 430 is connected to the water pump module 330, or the third connecting member 430 is connected to the connection between the water pump module 330 and the transmission module 320; the third connecting member 430 is connected to the main shell 100 through the connecting seat 440.

[0090] When the water pump module 330 is running, the vibration generated by the first power assembly 300 at the water pump module 330, or in other words, the vibration generated by the water pump module 330 first acts on the second bearing member 400, rather than being directly transmitted to the main housing 100. In this way, since the second bearing member 400 will deform when vibrated, this deformation can absorb the vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration transmission of the water pump module 330 to the main housing 100 through the second bearing member 400. In this way, as the vibration on the main housing 100 is reduced, the noise generated by the vibration of the main housing 100 can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0091] In practical applications, the third connecting member 430 may be sleeve-shaped, and the third connecting member 430 is sleeved on the water pump module 330 or at the connection between the water pump module 330 and the transmission module 320. The third connecting member 430 may also be formed by splicing two arc members to form a sleeve shape, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0092] like Figures 16 to 18As shown, in an achievable embodiment, the connection seat 440 may include a seat body 441, a second connection column 442 and a third connection arm 443, and the number of the third connection arm 443 may be one, two or more, wherein the seat body 441 is connected to the main housing 100, and a second notch 4411 is provided on the seat body 441. The second connection column 442 is at least partially located in the second notch 4411, one end of the second connection column 442 is connected to the seat body 441 through the third connection arm 443, and the other end of the second connection column 442 is connected to the third connection member 430. The deformation of the third connection arm 443 is used to absorb vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration transmission of the pump water module 330 to the main housing 100 through the connection seat 440.

[0093] Furthermore, the number of the third connecting arms 443 is preferably two or more, and the second connecting column 442 is connected to the base body 441 through at least two third connecting arms 443. There is a gap between the second connecting column 442 and the base body 441, which can effectively isolate vibration through the gap, thereby reducing the vibration transmission between the second connecting column 442 and the main housing 100. At the same time, the second connecting column 442 is connected to the base body 441 by at least two third connecting arms 443, thereby avoiding the situation of unstable unilateral connection and ensuring the connection stability between the base body 441 and the second connecting column 442.

[0094] In this embodiment, the third connecting arm 443 may be of an elongated structure, and the third connecting arm 443 may be made of hard plastic. The third connecting arm 443 uses its own shape characteristics to achieve deformation, thereby using deformation to absorb vibration energy and reduce the vibration transmission from the water pump module 330 of the first power assembly 300 to the main housing 100. At the same time, the third connecting arm 443 is made of hard plastic material and can also have a certain strength to avoid the problem of breaking and permanent deformation under force. Of course, the third connecting arm 443 can also be made of other materials with a certain strength and a certain degree of deformation.

[0095] In actual applications, the seat body 441, the second connecting column 442 and the third connecting arm 443 can all be made of hard plastic material and formed as one piece by injection molding, thereby simplifying the production process and reducing production costs, while also ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the seat body 441, the second connecting column 442 and the third connecting arm 443.

[0096] Furthermore, the third connecting arm 443 may have at least one bending portion, that is, the third connecting arm 443 has a bending design, so that the bending design can further increase the deformation range of the third connecting arm 443 and improve the vibration reduction effect of the third connecting arm 443.

[0097] like Figures 16 to 20As shown, in an achievable implementation, the connection seat 440 may further include a second covering member 444 made of soft rubber; the second covering member 444 at least partially covers at least one of the seat body 441, the second connection column 442 and the third connection arm 443. It should be noted that the soft rubber is a material with elasticity and softness, which can be made of a variety of different polymers, such as natural or synthetic rubber, silicone rubber, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), soft PVC, etc.

[0098] When the pump module 330 of the first power assembly 300 transmits vibration through the second connecting column 442, the third connecting arm 443 and the seat body 441, the second covering member 444 can absorb the vibration by using its own elasticity and damping characteristics, thereby reducing the vibration transmission. At the same time, the second covering member 444 can connect the second connecting column 442, the third connecting arm 443 and the seat body 441 to each other to ensure the stability between the second connecting column 442, the third connecting arm 443 and the seat body 441, avoid fracture or permanent deformation damage caused by vibration, and increase the service life of the second bearing member 400.

[0099] In practical applications, after the second connecting column 442, the third connecting arm 443 and the seat body 441 are integrally formed, or after the split designs are interconnected, the second covering part 444 can be covered on the second connecting column 442, the third connecting arm 443 and the seat body 441 by secondary injection molding or lamination.

[0100] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the second covering member 444 may be provided with an annular groove, which is located in the second notch 4411 and is arranged around the edge of the second notch 4411, and a plurality of reinforcing structures are provided in the annular groove, and the plurality of reinforcing structures are arranged in an annular array along the annular groove, thereby increasing the strength of the second covering member 444 through the reinforcing structure, so that the second covering member 444 can better withstand long-term or repeated loads, thereby extending its service life, and the second covering member 444 with higher strength can provide better support for the first power component 300, reduce deformation under high load conditions, and thus improve the stability of the second load-bearing member 400.

[0101] Furthermore, the third connecting member 430 has two connecting parts 431. Accordingly, there are two second notches 4411, each of which is provided with a second connecting column 442, a third connecting arm 443 and a second covering member 444, and the two connecting parts 431 are respectively connected to the two second connecting columns 442, thereby achieving a double vibration reduction effect and ensuring the limiting stability of the second bearing member 400 on the first power assembly 300 at one end of the water pump module 330.

The support member 210 is connected to the main housing 100, and a first notch 211 penetrating the support member 210 is provided in the middle of the support member 210. The first connecting member 220 is located in the first notch 211 and is connected to the support member 210 through the first connecting arm 230.

The oral cleaner 2000 is one of an all-in-one irrigator and a water flosser.

[0105] When the oral cleaner 2000 is a flushing machine, the cleaning head can be a brush head with bristles, a nozzle, or a brush head with both bristles and a nozzle. A second power assembly can be provided in the main body of the oral cleaner 2000, and the second power assembly includes a motor body that receives a drive shaft of the cleaning head, rotates the drive shaft, and / or applies vibration to the drive shaft. The drive shaft can be hollow to provide a fluid channel to facilitate the fluid to enter the cleaning head from the drive shaft to perform the flushing operation.

[0106] In actual applications, the base station unit 1000 may also have an installation position, and the oral cleaner 2000 can be detachably connected to the base station unit 1000 by magnetic adsorption, hanging or buckling at the installation position, so that when the oral cleaner 2000 is idle, the oral cleaner 2000 can be stored and organized together with the base station unit 1000.
