[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-10 The present invention provides a technical solution: a portable oral irrigator, including a shell 1, the shell 1 including a support shell 11 and a top cover 12 detachable from the support shell 11;

[0029] A base 15 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support shell 11. A water storage box 3 is sleeved inside the support shell 11. The water storage box 3 has a corrugated elastic structure and can extend and retract to change its length. A rinsing mechanism 2 is sleeved on the top of the water storage box 3. The rinsing mechanism 2 is slidably mounted inside the support shell 11, and the maximum distance between the rinsing mechanism 2 and the base 15 is equal to the maximum extension distance of the water storage box 3.

[0030] This invention provides a portable oral irrigator with a retractable water storage box. The support shell 11 is sleeved on the outside of the retractable water storage box 3. When extended, it provides support for the outside of the water storage box 3. When stored, the excess support shell 11 can store the irrigating head 24, achieving portability. When the whole device is maximized, it can also increase the storage capacity of the irrigating fluid. This effectively solves the problems of storage difficulties and low stability and easy deformation of folded irrigating chambers caused by existing oral irrigators that use fixed or folded irrigating chambers to store the cleaning fluid.

[0031] Specifically, a storage box 13 is fixedly installed inside the top cover 12. The storage box 13 has a storage opening 14 on its outer side. The storage box 13 and the top cover 12 have a snap-fit ​​structure, which can realize the disassembly and assembly function. The storage box 13 in this application adopts a side opening, which can be directly inserted into the top of the already stored support shell 11 when storing. Furthermore, the width of the storage box 13 is smaller than the gap between the rinsing head 24 and the support shell 11.

[0032] Furthermore, the rinsing head 24 can be disassembled during application. In specific applications, the rinsing head 24 can be disassembled, and the length of the support shell 11 can be reduced to further reduce the storage size. The rinsing head 24 can be stored and used inside a storage box 13 with a bottom size similar to that of the top cover 12.

[0033] The interior of storage box 13 is used to store auxiliary medications for oral rinsing, etc.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom end of the base 15 has a threaded hole, and a plug 16 is screwed into the threaded hole. A pull ring 18 is hinged to the bottom end of the plug 16. A receiving cavity is formed at the bottom end of the plug 16, and the pull ring 18 is hinged inside the receiving cavity. When stored, the pull ring 18 can be manually operated to assist the rotation of the plug 16 without exposing excess structure. The plug 16 is screwed into the threaded hole at the bottom end of the base 15, and a recess is formed at the bottom end of the threaded hole. A groove is formed on the outer side of the upper surface of the plug 16. The sealing ring and the plug 16 can be completely accommodated inside the recess after being screwed and tightened. The sealing ring can achieve a seal between the inner wall of the recess and the sealing ring. A snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the pull ring 18 and the receiving cavity. When the pull ring 18 is folded into the receiving cavity, it can achieve a stable positioning effect. A groove for finger movement is provided on the inner side of the pull ring 18 to facilitate the opening of the pull ring 18. The pull ring 18 can be rotated 180 degrees inside the receiving cavity. It can be folded and positioned in two directions, or it can be supported at 90 degrees to facilitate the rotation of the plug 16.

[0035] The structure of the seal 16 is mainly used to store liquid into the water storage box 3 during use.

[0036] Specifically, the outer wall of the rinsing mechanism 2 and the outer wall of the base 15 are both provided with slots 17, and the top and bottom inner sides of the water storage box 3 are integrally formed with protrusions, which are engaged in the inside of the slots 17.

[0037] The protrusions are set on the inner side of connector 1 31 and connector 2 33. The outer walls of housing 21 and base 15 are provided with slots 17. The cooperation between the protrusions and slots 17 realizes the positioning of the connecting mechanisms at both ends of water storage box 3 between flushing mechanism 2 and base 15. Furthermore, the structure of connector 1 31 and connector 2 33 has a certain degree of hardness and elasticity, ensuring the sealing and fastening effect between connector 1 31 and connector 2 33 and the corresponding connecting structure.

[0038] Specifically, the rinsing mechanism 2 includes a housing 21, inside which a delivery pump 22 and an electrical control module 23 are installed. The electrical control module 23 controls the delivery action and delivery rate of the delivery pump 22. The input end of the delivery pump 22 is connected to the inside of the water storage box 3, and the output end of the delivery pump 22 is connected to a rinsing head 24.

[0039] The electronic control module 23 includes a power supply mechanism such as a battery for power supply and a control circuit board structure. A corresponding button structure is provided on the top surface of the housing 21 for controlling the opening, closing, and speed control of the overall equipment. All switches are electrically connected to the control circuit board structure.

[0040] Specifically, the input end of the delivery pump 22 is equipped with a suction pipe 25, which is fixedly mounted to the bottom end of the housing 21. The end of the suction pipe 25 is equipped with a hose, which is completely contained inside the water storage box 3. The length of the hose at the end of the suction pipe 25 is supported to the maximum depth of the water storage box 3. A gravity ball can be set at the end of the hose to ensure that the end of the hose is at the lowest position of the cleaning liquid in different states. In the illustration, since the direction of the hose is uncertain in the retracted and released states, the length of the hose is shortened in the retracted state.

[0041] Specifically, the output end of the delivery pump 22 is connected to an output pipe 26, the top end of the output pipe 26 is fixedly assembled with the input end of the flushing head 24, the output pipe 26 is a rigid pipe structure, and there is a sealing structure between the connection end of the output pipe 26 and the flushing head 24, so that a sealing effect can be achieved between the output pipe 26 and the flushing head 24 when the flushing head 24 is inserted.

[0042] Specifically, the water storage box 3 includes a first connector 31 and a second connector 33. The first connector 31 is sealed and fixed to the outside of the housing 21, and the second connector 33 is sealed and fixed to the outside of the base 15.

[0043] The middle part of the water storage box 3 is a corrugated outer shell 32 structure, which can be extended and retracted in use by compression and support. When retracted, it is conducive to the overall storage effect. When extended, it provides a large liquid storage cavity, which is conducive to storage and folding, and can also provide sufficient reserves for rinsing operations. The corrugated outer shell 32 uses a corrugated tube to provide elastic deformation by utilizing its corrugated shape to adapt to changes in external pressure, displacement or thermal expansion. The axial expansion and contraction pressure can compress and deform under the external deformation of the corrugation, thus realizing the expansion and contraction function.

[0044] Furthermore, the support shell 11, which is fixed to the outside of the base 15 and the connector 33, remains stable outside the corrugated outer shell 32 during the extension and retraction process. It is limited to a certain range when the support is open and fully retracted, thus maintaining the external stability of the water storage box 3. Compared with the structure of a water tank that uses a directly telescopic outer shell, it has the function of limiting the extension distance. When the distance is shortened to the minimum, the outer support shell 11 cannot continue to shrink inward, thereby ensuring the most stable storage effect. Compared with the telescopic outer shell structure of the prior art, it has a more stable effect.

[0045] Specifically, the top of the flushing head 24 is integrally formed with a hinge joint 27, the top of the hinge joint 27 is hinged with a second hinge joint 210, and the outside of the second hinge joint 210 is integrally formed with a nozzle 29. The flushing head 24 and the nozzle 29 are connected by a connecting hose 212.

[0046] Specifically, a groove 28 is provided on one side of the adjacent surfaces of hinge joint 1 27 and hinge joint 210, and a protrusion 211 is integrally formed on the other side, with the protrusion 211 and the groove 28 being snapped together.

[0047] In use, by manually moving the nozzle 29, the nozzle 29 can be rotated at the top of the rinsing head 24. The grooves 28 opened on the inner side of the first hinge joint 27 are evenly distributed, and their specific distribution angle is distributed in a circumferential manner at fixed intervals. The thickness of the connection position between the second hinge joint 210 and the nozzle 29 is smaller than that of other positions. Therefore, when the nozzle 29 is flipped, the second hinge joint 210 can be displaced inward within a very small range, so that the protrusion 211 can pass over the position without the groove 28, thereby achieving the effect of limiting the position according to a fixed angle.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0049] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
