[0054] Example 9:
[0055] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model also provides a dental flosser, including a housing, a water pump mechanism 1, and a power component; the water pump mechanism 1 and the power component are both installed inside the housing. The housing includes an upper housing 31 and a lower housing 32.
[0056] When water needs to be introduced into the pump chamber 114, this invention reduces the pressure inside the pump chamber 114.

This allows external water to sequentially enter the pump chamber 114 through the second inlet 125, the through-hole 133 of the first elastic valve 131, and the first inlet. Simultaneously, the diaphragm 134 of the first elastic valve 131, under the action of external pressure, adheres tightly to the through-hole 133 of the second elastic valve 132, facilitating the rapid entry of external water into the pump chamber 114. Conversely, when the pump chamber 114 sprays water outwards, the pressure is increased by... The pressure inside the pump chamber 114 causes the diaphragm 134 of the second elastic valve 132 to press tightly against the through hole 133 of the first elastic valve 131. The diaphragm 134 of the first elastic valve 131 moves away from the through hole 133 of the second elastic valve 132 toward the water inlet / outlet assembly 12, thereby causing the water in the pump chamber 114 to be sprayed out after passing through the first outlet 111, the through hole 133 of the second elastic valve 132, and the second outlet in sequence. This utility model uses the pressure change of the pump chamber 114 inside the pump housing 11 to control the opening and closing of the double elastic valve 13 by setting a double elastic valve 13, thereby achieving the effect of water inlet and outlet, while also effectively ensuring the sealing effect.
