Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water flossers, in particular to a water flosser with stepless speed change and pressure regulation function. Background Art
[0002] Traditional water flossers have only a few preset water pressure levels, and users can only choose three or several of them. Different consumers have different user experiences during the process of rinsing their teeth. Simply limiting the selection of three levels of water pressure cannot maximize the cleaning effect. Some existing continuously variable water flossers, such as patent 201922283380.5, disclose a stepless water pressure regulating device and a water flosser. The stepless pressure regulating module of the water flosser has many components, a complex structure, a high assembly cost, and a large occupied volume. It is only suitable for installation on some water flossers with relatively large bodies. For small and portable water flossers, this structure is relatively large and difficult to install on a small-bodied water flosser. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a continuously variable pressure regulating device for a small-bodied water flosser. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0031] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a water flosser with a stepless speed-changing pressure-regulating function, comprising a main body shell 1, a water flosser pump 2, a main control PCB board 3 and a panel assembly 4, wherein the panel assembly 4 comprises a panel 41, an encoder 42, a rotating shaft 43 and a roller 44, wherein the panel assembly 4 is fixed on the main body shell 1, the water flosser pump 2 is assembled inside the main body shell 1, the encoder 42 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the panel 41, the rotating shaft 43 passes through the roller 44 and is fixedly connected to the roller 44, one end of the rotating shaft 43 is connected to the encoder 42, and the encoder 42 is driven to rotate internally by rotating the rotating roller 44 left and right to control and adjust, thereby realizing stepless speed-changing control of the water pressure of the water flosser pump, wherein the main control PCB board 3 is assembled on one side of the water flosser pump 2, and when flushing teeth, the roller 44 is moved by fingers to adjust the water pressure to a comfortable state;
[0032] Two hemispherical slots 411 are provided in the middle of the front side of the panel 41, and symmetrical step holes 412 are provided inside the two hemispherical slots 411. A waterproof soft rubber pad 45 is installed in the step hole 412. Three steps are provided on the outside of the waterproof soft rubber pad 45. The waterproof soft rubber pad 45 is interference fit with the step hole. Through the waterproof effect of the waterproof soft rubber pad 45, it is difficult for water to enter the main control PCB board 3 through the gap between the roller 44 and the rotating shaft 43, which plays a better protective role on the circuit part.
[0033] The encoder 42 is installed on the slot 421 on the inner side of the panel and is electrically connected to the main control PCB board 3 through an electronic wire. There is a regular hexagonal hole in the middle of the encoder 42. The rotating shaft 43 passes through the waterproof soft rubber pad 45, the roller 44 and the encoder 42, and the roller 44 and the encoder 42 form a linked whole. In this way, when the roller 44 rotates, it will drive the rotating shaft 43 fixedly connected to it to rotate synchronously.

The chip U3 cooperates with the resistor R3, the capacitor C10, and the capacitor C11 to control the battery charging. When the battery is fully charged to 4.2V, the chip U3 automatically turns off the charging.

[0041] Specifically, in the gear force adjustment module, VR1 is the gear force adjustment knob. The power supply gives the gear force adjustment knob a high potential through resistors R25 and R26. After turning the knob, a starting signal is obtained. The signal is connected to chip U2 through S2 and S3 to judge the strength at that time.
[0042] Specifically, the ultraviolet disinfection module is turned on by long pressing the switch S1. The chip U2 sends a command to turn on the power of the ultraviolet disinfection module through the resistor R23, the resistor R22, and the field effect transistor Q3. The power is supplied to the chip U1, the inductor L1, the diode D11, the resistor R19, and the capacitor C2 to drive the UV lamp for disinfection. The light-emitting diode D5 and the light-emitting diode D6 form a UV lamp. The UV lamp adjusts the disinfection power through the current-limiting resistors R6 and R9. The chip U1 adjusts the output voltage through the resistor R16 and the resistor R20.
