Detailed Implementation

[0017] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0018] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0019] The following reference Figures 1 to 3 A dental flosser is described according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dental flosser, comprising: The water inlet 1 has four first water inlet channels in the vertical direction. The left and right sides of the water inlet 1 are the teeth cleaning working area and the working support area, respectively. A teeth cleaning component is disposed in the teeth cleaning working area and is connected to the water inlet 1.

[0021] By incorporating a cleaning component into the cleaning work area, this invention allows for the cleaning of both the inside and outside of teeth on one side of the mouth. Compared to traditional methods that clean both sides simultaneously, this cleaning component is smaller, improving comfort during the cleaning process, and requires less material, thus reducing costs. Furthermore, this cleaning component is suitable for various oral cavity shapes, offering greater adaptability.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the teeth cleaning component includes: The teeth cleaning components include: The first teeth cleaning part 2 is connected to the upper end of the water inlet part 1, and the first teeth cleaning part 2 is provided with a water outlet 5; The occlusal portion 6 is connected at one end to the first cleaning portion 2; The second cleaning part 3 is connected to the other end of the occlusal part 6; Both the first cleaning section 2 and the second cleaning section 3 are provided with a second water inlet channel, which is connected to the first water inlet channel. Both the first cleaning section 2 and the second cleaning section 3 are provided with a water spray nozzle 4 on their opposite surfaces. That is, both the first cleaning section 2 and the second cleaning section 3 are provided with a water spray nozzle 4 on the side near the occlusal part 6. The first cleaning part 2, the second cleaning part 3, and the occlusal part 6 form two alveoli 7, so as to Figure Two For example, the two alveoli 7 are located on the front and back sides of the occlusal part 6, respectively.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first cleaning section 2 includes a first anterior tooth segment 201 and a first posterior tooth segment 202 connected to each other. The lower end of the first anterior tooth segment 201 is connected to the upper end of the water inlet section 1, and the lower end of the first posterior tooth segment 202 is connected to the upper end of the first anterior tooth segment 201. The first anterior tooth segment 201 covers the anterior tooth area and premolar area in the outer part of the oral cavity, and the first posterior tooth segment 202 covers the molar area in the outer part of the oral cavity. The first anterior tooth segment 201 is formed by connecting multiple 30-degree bevels, that is, the first anterior tooth segment 201 is connected by multiple 30-degree bevels. The angle formed by two adjacent inclined planes is 150 degrees. The first posterior tooth segment 202 is composed of multiple 10-degree inclined planes connected together, that is, the angle formed by two adjacent inclined planes of the first posterior tooth segment 202 is 170 degrees. The first anterior tooth segment 201 and the first posterior tooth segment 202 form a continuous arc-shaped structure, which makes the arc-shaped structure fit the shape of the teeth on one side of the oral cavity. In addition, according to actual use needs, the first cleaning part 2 can be adapted to different people by appropriate angle design, which improves the usability of the entire structure.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second cleaning section 3 includes a second anterior tooth segment 301 and a second posterior tooth segment 302 connected to each other. The lower end of the second anterior tooth segment 301 is connected to the upper end of the water inlet section 1, and the lower end of the second posterior tooth segment 302 is connected to the upper end of the second anterior tooth segment 301. The second anterior tooth segment 301 covers the anterior tooth area and premolar area inside the oral cavity, and the second posterior tooth segment 302 covers the molar area inside the oral cavity. The second anterior tooth segment 301 is formed by connecting multiple 40-degree bevels, that is, the second anterior tooth segment 301 is connected by multiple 40-degree bevels. The angle formed by two adjacent inclined planes is 140 degrees. The second posterior tooth segment 302 is composed of multiple 10-degree inclined planes connected together, that is, the angle formed by two adjacent inclined planes of the second posterior tooth segment 302 is 170 degrees. The second anterior tooth segment 301 and the second posterior tooth segment 302 form a continuous arc-shaped structure, which makes the arc-shaped structure fit the shape of the teeth on one side of the oral cavity. In addition, according to actual use needs, the second cleaning part 3 can be adapted to different people by appropriate angle design, which improves the usability of the entire structure.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the water nozzle 4 includes an inlet end and an outlet end. The inner diameter of the inlet end is 2mm and the inner diameter of the outlet end is 0.6mm. After the water inside the second water inlet channel enters the water nozzle 4, the inner diameter of the water nozzle 4 gradually decreases, thereby increasing the water pressure and thus increasing the water pressure sprayed from the water nozzle 4, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, with Figure Two For example, in the front-back direction, the distance between the two points of the first cleaning part 2 is the thickness of the first cleaning part 2; the thickness of the lower end of the first cleaning part 2 is 25mm, and the thickness of the upper end of the first cleaning part 2 is 12mm; Figure Three For example, L1 is the thickness of one part of the first cleaning part 2; the first cleaning part 2 is designed according to the changes in the shape of the tooth crown, and the thickness of the first cleaning part 2 gradually decreases from bottom to top, so that the first cleaning part 2 fits the shape of the tooth better, is easier to put in the mouth, and improves the wearing comfort; in addition, the first cleaning part 2 of the appropriate thickness can be made according to the actual tooth shape of each person, which increases the scope of use.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, with Figure Two For example, in the front-back direction, the distance between the two points of the second cleaning part 3 is the thickness of the second cleaning part 3. The thickness of the lower end of the second cleaning part 3 is 15mm, and the thickness of the upper end of the second cleaning part 3 is 12mm; Figure ThreeFor example, L2 is the thickness of one part of the second cleaning section 3; the thickness of the second cleaning section 3 gradually decreases from bottom to top, which makes the shape of the second cleaning section 3 fit the shape of the teeth better, making it easier to put in the mouth and improving wearing comfort; in addition, the second cleaning section 3 of appropriate thickness can be made according to the actual tooth shape of each person, which increases the scope of use.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, with Figure Two For example, the distance between the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 gradually increases from bottom to top. The distance between the lower end of the first cleaning part 2 and the lower end of the second cleaning part 3 is 10mm, and the distance between the upper end of the first cleaning part 2 and the upper end of the second cleaning part 3 is 15mm. Since the teeth gradually thicken from the front teeth to the back teeth, the distance between the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 gradually increases from bottom to top, which makes it easier for the teeth to bite the occlusal part 6. In addition, the distance between the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 can be designed according to individual differences and actual usage needs.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: by Figure Two For example, the water outlet pipe 8 is connected to the side of the first dental cleaning section 2 away from the second dental cleaning section 3, and the water outlet pipe 8 is connected to the water outlet 5.

[0030] The water outlet pipe 8 includes an inclined section 801 and a vertical section 802. The upper end of the inclined section 801 is connected to the water outlet 5, and the lower end is connected to one end of the vertical section 802. The angle formed between the inclined section 801 and the water inlet 1 is 40-50 degrees, and the angle formed between the vertical section 802 and the water outlet pipe 8 is 0-10 degrees. The vertical section 802 tends to be parallel to the water inlet 1, which allows water to flow downwards during use and avoids water splashing everywhere. In addition, the lower end of the water outlet pipe 8 is on the same plane as the lower end of the water inlet 1, which enhances the overall aesthetic appearance. The cross-sectional shape of the internal channel of the water outlet pipe 8 is elliptical, which can reduce flow resistance.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the inner diameter of the upper end of the inclined section 801 is 12-20 mm, the inner diameter of the lower end of the vertical section 802 is 10-12 mm, and the inner diameter of the water outlet pipe 8 gradually decreases from top to bottom. This gradual design creates a Venturi effect to accelerate water discharge.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: Baffle 9 is located in the working support area and is connected to the water inlet 1. Baffle 9 is composed of multiple 30-degree inclined surfaces connected together. The included angle between two adjacent baffles 9 is 150 degrees. Baffle 9 is symmetrically arranged with the first anterior tooth segment 201. Baffle 9 covers the anterior tooth area and premolar area of ​​the oral cavity. Baffle 9 can block water after cleaning teeth to prevent water splashing. The blocked water flows to the water outlet 5 under the action of gravity and enters the water outlet pipe 8 to flow out. Baffle 9 only needs to play a water blocking role. Compared with the first anterior tooth segment 201, the thickness of baffle 9 can be appropriately reduced to reduce material waste.

[0033] It should be noted that the entire structure can be 3D printed in one piece using rigid materials; alternatively, the entire structure can be divided into two parts, one of which is the baffle 9, and the other part is the structure excluding the baffle 9, with the entire structure made of soft silicone, which can improve comfort during use; alternatively, the entire structure can be 3D printed in one piece using rigid materials, and then wrapped with soft silicone to improve the overall comfort of the structure.

[0034] Working principle: During use, the person's face is first turned towards the ground. Then, the first cleaning part 2, the second cleaning part 3, the baffle 9, and the occlusal part 6 are inserted into the mouth. The two rows of teeth are then placed into the two alveoli 7, and the two rows of teeth bite down on the occlusal part 6. At this time, the first cleaning part 2 covers the outer side of the teeth on the left side of the mouth, and the second cleaning part 3 covers the inner side of the teeth on the left side of the mouth. Then, the lower end of the water inlet 1 is connected to the handle on the external machine, and water begins to enter from the lower end of the water inlet 1. The water passes through the first water inlet channel and the second water inlet channel in sequence, and finally sprays out from the nozzle 4. Because the nozzle 4 is conical from the inside out, the inner diameter of the nozzle 4 gradually decreases, resulting in a larger water pressure. The sprayed water hits the teeth, especially the left front teeth. The cleaning process involves cleaning the dental area, premolar area, and molar area. During the cleaning process, because the first cleaning section 2 and the second cleaning section 3 are curved upwards, the water sprayed from the nozzle 4 hits the teeth and flows downwards under gravity. Finally, it enters the water outlet 8 from the outlet 5 and is discharged from the water outlet 8. Due to the high water pressure, water splashes when it hits the teeth. The baffle 9 can block the splashing water. Since the baffle 9 is also curved upwards, it covers the anterior and premolar areas of the right side teeth. The water blocked by the baffle 9 flows to the inlet under gravity and is discharged from the water outlet 8. The lower end of the water outlet 8 faces downwards to the ground, thus preventing water from spraying in all directions.

[0035] After cleaning the left side teeth, remove the entire structure from your mouth, rotate it 180 degrees, and put the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 back into your mouth to clean the right side teeth. The working principle is the same as the principle of cleaning the left side teeth described above, so I will not go into details here.

[0036] In the above process, since only one side of the teeth needs to be cleaned at a time, compared to dental flossers that clean both sides simultaneously, the structure of this application is smaller. Once inserted into the mouth, the cleaning process is more comfortable, reducing discomfort, and also reducing material usage and costs. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3, this application can be applied to various oral cavity shapes, improving the overall adaptability of the structure.

[0037] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. The teeth cleaning kit is suitable for different oral cavity shapes, making it more adaptable; the overall structure is small in size, enhancing the comfort when inserted into the mouth, achieving both comfort and versatility.

[0038] 2. The one-sided design reduces the amount of materials used and lowers costs.

[0039] 3. The design of the baffle 9 can reduce water splashing and ensure that the water can flow into the outlet pipe 8 under the action of gravity, ensuring normal water discharge.
