Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a dental irrigator for orthodontic treatment, comprising a housing, a booster pump 3 installed inside the housing 1, an irrigator head 4 connected to the output end of the booster pump 3, a water storage component 2 installed at the bottom of the housing 1, and a fixing component 5 provided on one side of the surface of the housing 1.
[0030] The water storage component 2 includes a connecting cylinder 21, which is located in the middle of the bottom surface of the housing 1. An extension cylinder 23 is connected to the bottom of the connecting cylinder 21. A sealing ring 22 is provided on the top of the connecting cylinder 21. A heating component 24 is installed inside the extension cylinder 23. A base 25 is installed at the bottom of the extension cylinder 23. A filter component 26 is installed inside the base 25.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the water storage component 2, firstly, add the corresponding extension tube 23 according to the usage scenario, and connect the connecting tube 21 and the base 25 through the extension tube 23. After the connection is completed, install the connecting tube 21 to the bottom of the housing 1, and then open the filter component 26 to fill with water. The water is filtered through the filter component 26. After filling, the heating component 24 can be activated to heat the water when the temperature is low, which is convenient for users.
[0032] Specifically, a pipe joint is fixed to the top of the connecting cylinder 21, and a threaded joint is provided at the bottom of the housing 1.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the cooperation of pipe joints and threaded joints, the water storage component 2 can be disassembled as a whole, which optimizes the maintenance and cleaning process and enhances its practicality.
[0034] Specifically, a transparent window is provided on the outer surface of the connecting cylinder 21, and a scale line is provided on one side of the transparent window.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the transparent window combined with scale lines allows users to easily check the water volume and usage, making it easy to replenish the appropriate amount of water in a timely manner and ensuring the effectiveness of rinsing.
[0036] Specifically, a threaded outer ring is fixed to the top surface of the extension tube 23, a threaded inner ring is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the extension tube 23, and an anti-slip strip is fixed to the outer surface of the extension tube 23.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the use of threaded outer ring and threaded inner ring facilitates the installation and connection of multiple extension cylinders 23, improving the flexibility of the device. At the same time, it also allows for the replacement of a single extension cylinder 23 when it is damaged, improving the utilization rate of parts and contributing to the development of environmental protection.
[0038] Specifically, the heating assembly 24 includes a heating ring 241, which is fixedly mounted on the extension tube 23. An installation ring 242 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the heating ring 241, and a heating block 243 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the heating ring 241. An electric heating wire 244 is mounted on the inner side of the heating block 243, and a heat-conducting strip 245 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating ring 241.
[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the heating component 24, the heating block 243 is connected to the built-in power supply of the device during assembly. When the switch is turned on, the heating wire 244 generates heat. The heat is used to heat the stored water through the heating ring 241. The heat is conducted through the heat conduction strip 245, which makes the heat transfer more uniform and avoids local water temperature from being too high or too low, thus optimizing the user experience.
[0040] Specifically, the filter assembly 26 includes a connector 261, which is disposed inside the base 25. A reinforcing frame 262 is fixedly connected to the top of the connector 261. A filter cylinder 263 is disposed inside the reinforcing frame 262. A plug 264 is disposed inside the reinforcing frame 262. An opening ring 265 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector 261.
[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, during water injection, the plug 264 is first rotated by the opening ring 265 to remove the seal of the plug 264 on the connecting seat 261, and then water can be injected through the water inlet. During water injection, impurities in the water can be filtered through the filter cylinder 263, and the reinforcing frame 262 can protect the filter cylinder 263 to prevent misalignment or damage to the filter cylinder 263 when the water flow is too large.
[0042] Specifically, the base 25 has a water inlet on its inner side, and the water inlet has a thread on its inner side. The outer surface of the connecting seat 261 has a thread that matches the base 25. The outer surface of the plug 264 has a thread, and the inner side of the connecting seat 261 has a thread that matches the plug 264.
[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to disassemble and assemble the connector 261 and the base 25, and to replace or clean the filter cartridge 263. At the same time, the plug 264 can be installed more securely at the bottom of the connector 261, and the sealing ring further enhances the sealing effect of the plug 264 to prevent water leakage.
[0044] In this embodiment, when using the water storage component 2, firstly, add the corresponding extension tube 23 according to the usage scenario. Connect the connecting tube 21 and the base 25 through the extension tube 23. After connection, install the connecting tube 21 to the bottom of the housing 1. Then, open the filter component 26 to fill with water. The water is filtered through the filter component 26. After filling, the heating component 24 can be activated to heat the water when the temperature is low, making it convenient for users. The pipe joint and threaded joint facilitate the disassembly of the entire water storage component 2, optimizing the maintenance and cleaning process and enhancing practicality. The transparent window and scale lines allow users to easily check the water volume and usage, facilitating timely replenishment of appropriate amounts of water and ensuring the effectiveness of flushing. The threaded outer ring and threaded inner ring facilitate the installation and connection of multiple extension tubes 23, improving the flexibility of the device. It also allows for replacement of a single damaged extension tube 23, improving the utilization rate of parts and contributing to environmental protection. When using the heating component 24, during assembly, connect the heating block 243 to the built-in power supply of the device, turn on the switch, and the heating wire 244 generates heat. The heat is then transferred through the heating ring 241 to heat the stored water. The heat is conducted through the heat-conducting strip 245, resulting in more even heat distribution and preventing localized excessively high or low water temperatures, thus optimizing the user experience. When filling with water, first rotate the plug 264 by opening the ring 265 to release the seal between the plug 264 and the connecting seat 261, and then... Water is injected through the inlet. During water injection, impurities in the water are filtered through the filter cartridge 263. The reinforcing frame 262 protects the filter cartridge 263, preventing misalignment or damage when the water flow is too large. It is easy to detach the connecting seat 261 from the base 25, making it easy to replace or clean the filter cartridge 263. At the same time, the plug 264 can be more securely installed at the bottom of the connecting seat 261, and the sealing ring further enhances the sealing effect of the plug 264 to prevent water leakage.
[0045] Example 2
[0046] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, specifically, the fixing component 5 includes a bidirectional screw 52, which is rotatably disposed inside the housing 1. A knob 51 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer surface of the bidirectional screw 52. An insert 53 is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional screw 52. An insert block 54 is provided on the outer side of the insert 53. A fixing bracket 55 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the insert block 54.
[0047] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the fixing component 5, the insert 54 is inserted into the mating groove at the top of the housing 1, and then the knob 51 is rotated. The knob 51 drives the bidirectional screw 52 to rotate, which further moves the insert 53 to both sides until the insert 53 passes through the insert 54, thus limiting the insertion 54. After installation, the device can be hung by the fixing bracket 55. If it is necessary to carry the device, the knob 51 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the insert 54 detach from the housing 1, avoiding the fixing bracket 55 occupying unnecessary space and improving portability.
[0048] Specifically, a guide block is fixed to one side surface of the insert 53, and a guide groove is provided on the inner side of the housing 1 near the guide block.
[0049] By adopting the above technical solution, when the insert 53 moves, it slides inside the guide groove through the guide block, which further improves the guidance of the insert 53 and also improves the stability of the movement of the insert 53.
[0050] Specifically, the inner side of the fixing bracket 55 has a fixing hole, and the outer side of the knob 51 is fitted with a rubber sleeve.
[0051] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing holes on the inner side of the fixing bracket 55 make it easy to install the fixing bracket 55 into a fixed position. When fixing, the device can be installed and fixed on the fixing bracket 55 in the fixed position, which is convenient for home use. The rubber sleeve makes it easy for users to rotate the knob 51 and avoids slippage, thus optimizing the user experience.
[0052] In this embodiment, when using the fixing component 5, the insert 54 is inserted into the mating groove at the top of the housing 1. Then, the knob 51 is rotated, which drives the bidirectional screw 52 to rotate, further causing the insert 53 to move to both sides until the insert 53 passes through the insert 54, thus limiting the insertion 54. After installation, the device can be hung on the fixing bracket 55. If the device needs to be carried, the knob 51 is rotated in the opposite direction to detach the insert 54 from the housing 1, avoiding unnecessary space occupation by the fixing bracket 55 and improving portability. When the insert 53 moves, it slides in the guide groove through the guide block, further improving the guidance of the insert 53 and also improving the stability of the movement of the insert 53. The fixing hole on the inner side of the fixing bracket 55 makes it easy to install the fixing bracket 55 in a fixed position. When fixing, the device can be installed and fixed on the fixing bracket 55 in a fixed position for home use. The rubber sleeve makes it easy for the user to rotate the knob 51 and avoids slippage, thus optimizing the user experience.
[0053] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: When using the water storage component 2, firstly, add the corresponding extension tube 23 according to the usage scenario. Connect the connecting tube 21 and the base 25 through the extension tube 23. After the connection is completed, install the connecting tube 21 to the bottom of the housing 1. Then, open the filter component 26 to fill with water. The water is filtered through the filter component 26. After filling, the heating component 24 can be activated to heat the water when the temperature is low, which is convenient for users. The pipe joint and threaded joint make it easy to disassemble the entire water storage component 2, optimizing the maintenance and cleaning process and enhancing practicality. The transparent window and scale lines make it easy for users to check the water volume and water consumption in time, so as to replenish the appropriate amount of water in time and ensure the effectiveness of flushing. The threaded outer ring and threaded inner ring make it easy to install and connect multiple sets of extension tubes 23, improving the flexibility of the device. At the same time, it is also possible to replace a single extension tube 23 when it is damaged, improving the utilization rate of parts and contributing to the development of environmental protection. When using the heating component 24, during assembly, the heating block 243 is connected to the built-in power supply of the device, and the switch is turned on. The heating wire 244 generates heat, which heats the stored water through the heating ring 241. The heat is conducted through the heat-conducting strip 245, making the heat transfer more even and avoiding localized excessively high or low water temperatures, thus optimizing the user experience. When filling with water, first, the plug 264 is rotated by opening the ring 265 to release the seal between the plug 264 and the connecting seat 261. Water can be injected through the inlet. During water injection, impurities in the water can be filtered through the filter cartridge 263. The reinforced frame 262 can protect the filter cartridge 263 and prevent the filter cartridge 263 from being misaligned or damaged when the water flow is too large. It is easy to disassemble and assemble the connecting seat 261 and the base 25, and it is easy to replace or clean the filter cartridge 263. At the same time, the plug 264 can be installed more securely at the bottom of the connecting seat 261. With the sealing ring, the sealing effect of the plug 264 is further enhanced to prevent water leakage.
[0054] When using the fixing component 5, insert the plug 54 into the mating groove at the top of the housing 1, then rotate the knob 51. The knob 51 drives the bidirectional screw 52 to rotate, further causing the plug 53 to move to both sides until the plug 53 passes through the plug 54, thus limiting the plug 54. After installation, the device can be hung on the fixing bracket 55. If the device needs to be carried, rotate the knob 51 in the opposite direction to detach the plug 54 from the housing 1, avoiding unnecessary space occupation by the fixing bracket 55 and improving portability. When the plug 53 moves, it slides in the guide groove through the guide block, further improving the guidance of the plug 53 and also improving the stability of the movement of the plug 53. The fixing hole on the inner side of the fixing bracket 55 makes it easy to install the fixing bracket 55 in a fixed position. When fixing, the device can be installed and fixed on the fixing bracket 55 in a fixed position for home use. The rubber sleeve makes it easy for the user to rotate the knob 51 and avoids slippage, thus optimizing the user experience.
