Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral irrigator technology, and in particular to a faceplate assembly for an oral irrigator. Background Technology

[0002] A water flosser is an oral hygiene tool that uses high-pressure water to remove food debris, plaque, and bacteria between teeth, thus cleaning the mouth. It is especially suitable for areas that are difficult to clean with traditional toothbrushes and dental floss.

[0003] A search revealed that existing Chinese patent publication number "CN212522060U" provides a portable electric water flosser, including a body assembly and a water flossing assembly. The water flossing assembly is located on the body assembly, which includes a housing, a water tank, a water pump, a control panel, and a power supply. The water tank is located at the end of the housing and has a water inlet with a water cap. The control panel is located on the housing, while the water pump and power supply are located inside the housing. The water pump is connected to the power supply via the control panel. The water outlet of the housing is connected to the water flossing assembly, which includes a water guide tube, a water flossing tube, and a brushing component. One end of the water flossing tube is connected to the water outlet of the housing via the water guide tube, and the other end of the water flossing tube has a water inlet and a brushing component, which includes a brush handle and bristles. By configuring the water flossing tube and the water inlet, teeth can be thoroughly cleaned. This portable electric water flosser has a reasonable structural design, ensuring effective rinsing and cleaning of interdental spaces or tooth surfaces, thus improving cleaning efficiency and making it easy to use.

[0004] Currently, most water flossers, after prolonged use, are prone to cracking due to water damage and thermal expansion and contraction. The single plastic shell becomes brittle and prone to cracking. At the same time, the adhesive used to seal the connection between the guide tube and the cover shell ages, leading to leakage.
