Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small household appliance research and development technology, and in particular to a connector for a water flosser and a water flosser. Background Technology
[0002] A water flosser, also known as a dental irrigator or water flosser, is a tool that uses pulsating water jets to clean teeth and between teeth. This water jet can reach areas that are difficult for a toothbrush to reach, such as between teeth and the gum line, effectively removing food debris and plaque. At the same time, the pulsating water jet can also massage the gums, promote blood circulation, and enhance the gums' resistance to disease.
[0003] However, most water flossers on the market use silicone hoses to connect the water pump and the nozzle. Silicone is relatively expensive, and it is prone to loosening and falling off after a long period of use. In addition, silicone hoses are relatively complicated and time-consuming to assemble. Therefore, further improvements to the existing technology are needed. Utility Model Content

[0035] Example 1: As Figure 1-8 As shown, a connector for a water flosser includes a connector body 1. The connector body 1 is provided with a water inlet 101 for water inflow and a water outlet 102 for water outflow. The water inlet 101 and the water outlet 102 are connected and arranged in communication. Water enters from the water inlet 101 and then sprays out from the water outlet 102. The structure of this application makes the water flosser assembly process simpler and faster, reduces labor costs and assembly time costs on the production line, and at the same time, users can easily disassemble and reinstall it when performing daily cleaning or manufacturer maintenance, improving the ease of use of the product.
[0036] The water inlet 101 and the water outlet 102 are arranged opposite to each other or staggered. The staggered arrangement of the water outlet and water inlet can make the internal structure of the water flosser more compact, which helps to reduce the overall size of the water flosser, making it more portable and easier to use.
[0037] This includes a first waterproof ring 11, which is fitted inside the water outlet 102;
[0038] and / or
[0039] It includes a second waterproof ring 12, which is fitted inside the water inlet 101. The first and second waterproof rings are provided to prevent water leakage when water flows through the connector body.
[0040] The connector body 1 is provided with a protruding wall 13, the water outlet 102 is located inside the protruding wall 13, and the first waterproof ring 11 is provided with a groove corresponding to the protruding wall 13. The first waterproof ring 11 is fitted onto the protruding wall 13 through the groove.
[0041] and / or
[0042] The connector body 1 has a stepped surface 14 inside, and the second waterproof ring 12 abuts against the stepped surface 14, so that water is not easy to leak when it flows through the connector body.
[0043] The connector body 1 is made using an integral molding process, and there are no seams or welding points inside the connector body, which greatly enhances its structural strength and can better withstand the impact and pressure of water flow, ensuring that the water flosser remains stable and reliable during use.
[0044] Example 2: Figure 1-8 As shown, the oral irrigator includes a water pump 2 and a connector for the oral irrigator. The water pump 2 is provided with a connecting pipe 21 for spraying water. The connecting pipe 21 is inserted into the connector body 1 through the water inlet 101. The structure of this application makes the oral irrigator assembly process simpler and faster, reduces labor costs and assembly time costs on the production line. At the same time, users can easily disassemble and reinstall it when performing daily cleaning or manufacturer maintenance, improving the ease of use of the product.
[0045] The connector body 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 151, and the water pump 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 201 corresponding to the first mounting hole 151. The connector body 1 is assembled to the water pump 2 by screws in cooperation with the first mounting hole 151 and the second mounting hole 201, so that the connector body and the water pump are more firmly assembled.
[0046] The device includes a housing 3, which has a third mounting hole 301. The connector body 1 has a fourth mounting hole 152 corresponding to the third mounting hole 301. The housing 3 is assembled to the connector body 1 by screws in cooperation with the third mounting hole 301 and the fourth mounting hole 152, so that the connector body and the housing are more firmly assembled.
[0047] The device includes a base 4, which has a fifth mounting hole 401 corresponding to the second mounting hole 201. At least part of the screw is placed in the fifth mounting hole 401. The base is provided with a mounting post 41 for fastening the water pump 2. The fifth mounting hole 401 is provided on the mounting post 41. The screw passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole and is at least partly placed in the fifth mounting hole, so that the connector body and the water pump are firmly installed on the base and are not easy to fall off.
[0048] This includes a nozzle 5 that sprays water, and the nozzle 5 is at least partially inserted into the first waterproof ring 11;
[0049] and / or
[0050] The connecting pipe 21 is at least partially inserted into the second waterproof ring 12, so that when water flows from the connector body into the nozzle, or when water flows from the connecting pipe into the connector body, it is not easy to leak.
[0051] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
