Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the production and processing field of water flossers, in particular to an operating life tester for a pulse water flow water flosser. Background Art

[0002] The core components of the air-powered pulse water water flosser are an air pump, a solenoid valve and a silicone sheet. During use, the air pump is used to inflate the silicone sheet, causing the elastic bulge of the silicone sheet to deform and squeeze from a downward concave state to an upward convex state. Then, the piston column arranged on the elastic bulge instantly pushes the water inside the column when the elastic bulge is deformed, causing the water to generate instantaneous high pressure and spray out of the nozzle in the form of pulses, thereby achieving the purpose of flushing. After the water inside the column is sprayed out, the solenoid valve opens, the air pressure of the silicone sheet is released, and the silicone sheet returns to its initial state under the action of its elasticity. Therefore, In order to ensure the service life of the pulse water irrigator, the air pump, solenoid valve and silicone sheet need to be tested for operation. To achieve the purpose of the test, the industry standard requires that the air pump, solenoid valve and silicone sheet be tested for up to 250,000 cycles, from the air pump to the pressurization of the silicone sheet, and the solenoid valve to the pressure relief of the silicone sheet. If the product engineering prototype is used for testing, the air pump, solenoid valve and silicone sheet need to be assembled on the internal bracket of the oral irrigator. The assembly is troublesome, and the test process requires power replenishment and the product PCBA cannot work for a long time, making it difficult to achieve the purpose of the test for the product's service life.
