Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral irrigator technology, and in particular to an oral irrigator with sterilization function. Background Technology
[0002] A water flosser is an auxiliary tool for cleaning the oral cavity. It uses pulsed water jets to clean teeth and between teeth. It is mainly available in portable and tabletop models. The rinsing pressure is generally between 0 and 90 psi. Just as people know that a high-pressure water gun can easily clean cars, water jets of appropriate pressure have long been proven to effectively clean people's teeth and oral cavity. The cleaning effect of a water flosser is mainly achieved by the impact force of a high-speed water jet sprayed under a certain pressure.
[0003] Some existing oral irrigators only serve to pass through and accelerate the water flow into the mouth to clean it, but they do not sterilize the water sprayed from the nozzle. This is not good for the user's health when cleaning their mouth. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A dental irrigator with sterilization function is constructed, comprising: a shell, a water inlet pipe, a sterilization mechanism, a main body, and a nozzle. The water inlet pipe, sterilization mechanism, and main body are all installed inside the shell. A water storage tank is provided inside the shell. One end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the water storage tank. The nozzle is installed on the main body. The other end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the nozzle through the main body. The sterilization mechanism is installed in the flow path of the water inlet pipe. The sterilization mechanism includes: a connecting component and a sterilization module. The connecting component includes a connector. The connector has a through hole communicating with the water inlet pipe. The water inlet pipe is installed in sections on the through hole. The connector has at least one mounting groove. A sterilization window is opened on the side wall of the connector. The sterilization module is installed on the mounting groove and seals the sterilization window.
[0006] Furthermore, the sterilization module includes: a transparent partition and a first UV sterilization lamp. The transparent partition is sealed and installed on the sterilization window, and the first UV sterilization lamp is installed in the mounting slot. The first UV sterilization lamp is electrically connected to the main body of the mechanism.
[0007] Furthermore, the water supply pipe is connected in sections to the through hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting assembly also includes a sealing ring disposed between the water supply pipe and the through hole.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The first embodiment of this utility model discloses a water flosser with sterilization function, comprising: a housing 1, a water inlet pipe 2, a sterilization mechanism 3, a main body 4, and a nozzle 5. The water inlet pipe 2, the sterilization mechanism 3, and the main body 4 are all installed inside the housing 1. A water storage tank 11 is provided inside the housing 1. One end of the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to the water storage tank 11. The nozzle 5 is installed on the main body 4, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to the nozzle 5 through the main body 4. The sterilization mechanism 3 is installed on the flow path of the water inlet pipe 2. The sterilization mechanism 3 includes: a connecting component 31 and a sterilization module 32. The connecting component 31 includes a connector 311, which has a through hole 312 communicating with the water inlet pipe 2. The water inlet pipe 2 is installed in sections on the through hole 312. The connector 311 has at least one mounting groove 313 and a sterilization window on its side wall. The sterilization module 32 is installed on the mounting groove 313 and seals the sterilization window.
[0030] Among them, the sterilization mechanism 3 installed on the water supply pipe 2 can make the water flow through the sterilization mechanism 3 when rinsing the teeth, so that the sterilization mechanism 3 can sterilize the water flow, making the water sprayed from the nozzle 5 cleaner and healthier, and improving the health of the user.
[0031] This application includes a water storage tank 11 inside the body 1, with one end of the water supply pipe 2 connected to the water storage tank 11, a nozzle 5 installed on the main body 4, and the other end of the water supply pipe 2 connected to the nozzle 5 through the main body 4. A sterilization mechanism 3 is installed on the flow path of the water supply pipe 2. The sterilization mechanism 3 includes a connecting component 31 and a sterilization module 32. The connecting component 31 includes a connector 311, which has a through hole 312 communicating with the water supply pipe 2. The water supply pipe 2 is installed in sections on the through hole 312. The connector 311 has at least one mounting groove 313 and a sterilization window on its side wall. The sterilization module 32 is installed on the mounting groove 313 and seals the sterilization window. The main body 4 of the mechanism is started by an external switch, so that the suction force generated by the main body 4 acts on one end of the water inlet pipe 2 inside the water storage tank 11. After the water is drawn in from one end of the water inlet pipe 2, it flows into the main body 4. During the flow, the water flows through the connecting component 31 and the sterilization module 32 of the sterilization mechanism 3. The sterilization module 32 sterilizes the water flow, making the water flow through the sterilization module 32 cleaner and more hygienic. Then the main body 4 continues to operate, so that the purified water is sprayed out from the nozzle 5 to clean the mouth. By installing the water supply pipe 2 in sections on the through holes 312 of the connector 311, the clean water flow must pass through the through holes 312 inside the connector 311. The sterilization window opened on the side wall of the connector 311 allows the sterilization module 32 to act directly on the water flow, reducing the distance between the sterilization module 32 and the water flow, maximizing the sterilization effect, improving sterilization efficiency, making the water flow sprayed from the nozzle 5 healthier, protecting the user, and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the sterilization module 32 includes a transparent partition 321 and a first UV sterilization lamp 322.

The first UV sterilization lamp 322 is electrically connected to the main body 4 of the core.
[0033] This application utilizes a transparent partition 321 to seal the sterilization window, with a first UV sterilization lamp 322 installed within the mounting groove 313. The first UV sterilization lamp 322 is electrically connected to the main body 4. The transparent partition 321 seals the sterilization window, preventing water leakage, and also provides some protection for the first UV sterilization lamp 322, extending its lifespan. The light emitted by the first UV sterilization lamp 322 penetrates the transparent partition 321 and acts on the water flowing through the through-hole 312, thereby improving user health and increasing cleaning efficiency.
[0034] The transparent partition 321 can be sealed and installed on the sterilization window, and its shape can be changed so that a part of the transparent partition 321 extends into the through hole 312. After the first UV sterilization lamp 322 is refracted by the transparent partition 321, the diffusion area of the sterilization light will be increased, thereby improving the sterilization effect and efficiency, making it healthier for users and further improving the cleaning effect.
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the water supply pipe 2 is segmented and inserted into the through hole 312.
[0036] This application allows for quick maintenance and replacement of the water supply pipe 2 by segmenting it into the through hole 312 after wear or damage to the sterilization mechanism 3, reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs. The segmented insertion of the water supply pipe 2 into the through hole 312 also reduces the gap between the water supply pipe 2 and the connector 311, preventing bacterial growth and further improving the health of the user.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 31 further includes a sealing ring 314 disposed between the water inlet pipe 2 and the through hole 312.
[0038] This application uses a sealing ring 314 between the water inlet pipe 2 and the through hole 312. The sealing ring 314 can reduce the gap between the water inlet pipe 2 and the connector 311, making the connection between the connector 311 and the water inlet pipe 2 more airtight, preventing water leakage, and also improving the connection strength between the connector 311 and the water inlet pipe 2, further extending the service life.
