Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oral hygiene, and more specifically, to a dental flosser. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional U-shaped dental flossers use a water pump to generate high-pressure pulsed water flow, which can rinse teeth and gums to remove food debris, bacteria, tartar, stains and other substances harmful to dental health, thereby achieving oral health care and maintenance.

[0003] However, in actual use, once this type of dental flosser is inserted into the mouth, the side-by-side arrangement of the water outlets results in a relatively fixed position for cleaning the teeth, making it impossible to clean all parts of the teeth. The teeth are relatively large, making it difficult to adjust their position in the mouth, resulting in low compatibility with oral cavity shapes and difficulty in meeting the needs of various oral cavity shapes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems of U-shaped oral irrigators, such as the side-by-side arrangement of the water outlets leading to a relatively fixed cleaning position, the inability to clean all parts of the teeth, the relatively large size of teeth making it difficult to adjust their position in the mouth, low compatibility with oral cavity shapes, and difficulty in adapting to the needs of various oral cavity shapes, one objective of this invention is to provide an oral irrigator.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the water nozzle includes an inlet end and an outlet end, the inner diameter of the inlet end is 1.8-2.2mm, and the inner diameter of the outlet end is 0.5-0.7mm.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the thickness of the first cleaning part gradually decreases from the end near the water inlet to the end away from the water inlet. The thickness of the first cleaning part near the water inlet is 23-27mm, and the thickness of the first cleaning part away from the water inlet is 11-13mm.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the thickness of the second cleaning part gradually decreases from the end near the water inlet to the end away from the water inlet.

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 4 A dental flosser is described according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dental flosser, comprising: Water inlet 1 has a first water inlet channel inside, and water inlet 1 is curved. The first teeth cleaning part 2 is fixedly connected to the water inlet part 1, and the first teeth cleaning part 2 is provided with a water outlet 4; The second cleaning part 3 is fixedly connected to the water inlet part 1; 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. On the opposite surfaces of the first cleaning section 2 and the second cleaning section 3, there are staggered water spray nozzles 6, which are connected to the second water inlet channel. The first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 form the alveolar 5.

[0021] When teeth cleaning is required, the water inlet 1 is first connected to the external water inlet device. Then, the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 are placed in the mouth, and the teeth are placed in the alveolar socket 5. The water inlet device then flows water into the first water inlet channel. The water passes through the first water inlet channel and the second water inlet channel in sequence, and finally sprays out from the spray nozzle 6. The water sprayed from the spray nozzle 6 on the first cleaning part 2 cleans the outer teeth, and the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 6 on the second cleaning part 3 cleans the inner teeth. Because the spray nozzles 6 are staggered, the area of ​​teeth cleaning can be increased without changing the position of the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3, thus improving the cleaning efficiency. During the teeth cleaning process, the position of the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 can also be manually adjusted so that the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 6 can clean every corner inside the teeth.

[0022] It should be noted that the outer teeth mentioned above refer to the teeth on the side away from the tongue, while the inner teeth mentioned above refer to the teeth on the side closer to the tongue.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, with Figure 2 For example, the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 are U-shaped. The second cleaning part 3 is located inside the first cleaning part 2. The opening ends of the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 are both facing upwards. The opening end of the second cleaning part 3 extends outside the first cleaning part 2, that is, the opening end of the second cleaning part 3 is located above the opening end of the first cleaning part 2. The closed end of the second cleaning part 3 is located inside the first cleaning part 2, that is, the closed end of the second cleaning part 3 is located between the opening end and the closed end of the first cleaning part 2.

[0024] by Figure 2 For example, the horizontal plane where the upper end of the first cleaning part 2 is located is the first plane, the horizontal plane where the lower end of the first cleaning part 2 is located is the second plane, the horizontal plane where the upper end of the second cleaning part 3 is located is the third plane, the horizontal plane where the lower end of the second cleaning part 3 is located is the fourth plane, a first perpendicular line is provided between the first plane and the second plane, the horizontal plane where the midpoint of the first perpendicular line is located is the fifth plane, a second perpendicular line is provided between the third plane and the fourth plane, and the horizontal plane where the midpoint of the second perpendicular line is located is the sixth plane; The distance between the open end and the closed end of the first cleaning part 2 is 35mm, which means the distance between the first plane and the second plane is 35mm; On the first plane, the distance between the two furthest points at the opening end of the first cleaning part 2 is 67mm; The distance between the open end and the closed end of the second cleaning part 3 is 24mm, which is the distance between the third plane and the fourth plane is 24mm; On the third plane, the distance between the two furthest points at the opening end of the second cleaning part 3 is 27mm; The distance between the closed end of the first cleaning part 2 and the closed end of the second cleaning part 3 is 22mm, which is the distance between the second plane and the fourth plane is 22mm. The distance between the opening end of the first cleaning part 2 and the opening end of the second cleaning part 3 is 11mm, which is the distance between the first plane and the third plane is 11mm. On the fifth plane, the distance between the two furthest points of the first dental cleaning part 2 is 28mm; On the sixth plane, the distance between the two furthest points of the second molar portion 3 is 23 mm.

[0025] The above-mentioned size design makes the shape and size of the entire dental floss device suitable for most people, thereby increasing its applicability.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the water nozzle 6 includes an inlet end and an outlet end. The inner diameter of the inlet end is 2.2 mm, and the inner diameter of the outlet end is 0.7 mm. After the water inside the second inlet channel enters the water nozzle 6, the inner diameter of the water nozzle 6 gradually decreases, thereby increasing the water pressure and thus increasing the water pressure sprayed from the water nozzle 6, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the first cleaning portion 2 gradually decreases from the end near the water inlet portion 1 to the end away from the water inlet portion 1. The thickness of the first cleaning portion 2 at the end near the water inlet portion 1 is 23-27 mm, and the thickness of the first cleaning portion 2 at the end away from the water inlet portion 1 is 11-13 mm. Figure 2 For example, in the front-back direction, the distance between the front and back 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 27mm, and the thickness of the upper end of the first cleaning part 2 is 13mm; Figure 3 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.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the second cleaning portion 3 gradually decreases from the end near the water inlet portion 1 to the end away from the water inlet portion 1. The thickness of the second cleaning portion 3 at the end near the water inlet portion 1 is 14-16 mm, and the thickness of the second cleaning portion 3 at the end away from the water inlet portion 1 is 11-13 mm. Figure 2 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 16mm, and the thickness of the upper end of the second cleaning part 3 is 13mm; Figure 3 For 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.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 gradually increases from the end closer to the water inlet 1 to the end farther from the water inlet 1. The distance between the end of the first cleaning part 2 near the water inlet 1 and the end of the second cleaning part 3 near the water inlet 1 is 9-11 mm, and the distance between the end of the first cleaning part 2 away from the water inlet 1 and the end of the second cleaning part 3 away from the water inlet 1 is 14-16 mm. Figure 2 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 11mm, and the distance between the upper end of the first cleaning part 2 and the upper end of the second cleaning part 3 is 16mm. 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 9. 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.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: The water outlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the first dental cleaning part 2 away from the second dental cleaning part 3. The water outlet pipe 7 is connected to the water outlet 4. During use, the water outlet pipe 7 is set vertically with the drain outlet of the water outlet pipe 7 facing downward, which facilitates drainage.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: by Figure 2For example, the baffle plate 8 is fixedly connected to the second teeth cleaning part 3. The baffle plate 8 is U-shaped with the open end facing upward. Through the design of the baffle plate 8, water can be reduced from entering the tongue. After the water is sprayed out of the spray nozzle 6, the sprayed water is blocked by the baffle plate 8, so that the water is discharged from the outlet 4, thereby reducing the amount of water entering the esophagus.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: The occlusal part 9 is fixedly connected to the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 at both ends. After the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 are placed in the mouth, the upper and lower rows of teeth can bite on the occlusal part 9, thereby improving the stability of the dental flosser during the cleaning process.

[0033] Working principle: During use, the person's face is first turned towards the ground. Then, the first cleaning part 2 and the second cleaning part 3 are inserted into the mouth. Next, the two rows of teeth are placed into the two alveoli 5 respectively, and the upper and lower rows of teeth are bitten on the occlusal part 9. At this time, the first cleaning part 2 covers the outer teeth in the mouth, and the second cleaning part 3 covers the inner teeth in 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. Finally, the water is sprayed out from nozzle 6. Since nozzle 6 is conical from the inside out, the inner diameter of nozzle 6 gradually decreases, resulting in a larger water pressure. The sprayed water hits the teeth and cleans them. During the teeth cleaning process, the staggered arrangement of nozzles 6 can improve the cleaning efficiency of the teeth. After the water sprayed from nozzle 6 hits the teeth, it is blocked by the baffle plate 8 and flows downward under the action of gravity. Finally, it enters the water outlet pipe 7 from the outlet 4 and is discharged from the water outlet pipe 7.

[0034] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. Through its meticulous size design, the dental floss device's overall structure is suitable for most people's oral cavity, making it more adaptable. 2. By staggering the spray nozzles 6, the cleaning efficiency of teeth can be improved.
