Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a water flosser, and more particularly to a water flosser for oral care, belonging to the field of oral care technology. Background Technology
[0002] The gingival sulcus is a groove about two millimeters deep that surrounds the tooth but is not attached to it. It's the most important junction leading to the tooth root, yet it's also the most prone to accumulating plaque and debris, making it a common site for dental and gum diseases. The gingival sulcus and interdental spaces are two of the most difficult areas to clean. Just as a high-pressure water gun can easily clean a car, water jets of appropriate pressure have long been proven to effectively clean teeth and the oral cavity. The cleaning effect of a water flosser is mainly achieved through the impact force of a high-speed jet of water sprayed under pressure.
[0003] Patent document CN212547224U discloses a water flosser for oral care, including a housing. A liquid inlet pipe is inserted into the top outer wall of the housing, and a sealing cap is threaded onto one side of the liquid inlet pipe's outer wall. An air pump is installed on one side of the housing's outer wall, with an air inlet pipe and a suction pipe respectively inserted into the two sides of the air pump's outer walls. One end of the air inlet pipe extends into the housing. Connecting plates are installed on both sides of the housing's inner walls, and a pulse generator is installed on the bottom inner wall of the housing. A connector is installed on the top outer wall of the pulse generator, and a corrugated pipe is inserted into one side of the housing's outer wall. In this invention, air is pumped into the housing by the air pump, and the pulse generator is activated simultaneously. This causes the water jet sprayed into the mouth by the first nozzle to carry a large number of air bubbles. The bubbles burst upon contact with the teeth, creating a good vibration and impact effect, thus improving the device's cleaning efficiency inside the mouth.
[0004] The existing technology described above uses an air pump to blow air into the chamber and uses bubbles to increase the cleaning effect. However, the air pump will also introduce dust and impurities from the air into the liquid inside the chamber, which will lead to a decrease in the cleaning effect. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0021] Embodiments of this utility model: such as Figures 1-5 As shown, an oral care water flosser includes a water flosser unit 100 and an air bubble unit 200. The water flosser unit 100 includes a water tank 101, a water pipe 103, a water flosser pump body 104, and a nozzle 105. The inlet end of the water flosser pump body 104 is connected to the water tank 101 through the water pipe 103, and the outlet end of the water flosser pump body 104 is connected to the nozzle 105. The air bubble unit 200 is connected to the water tank 101.
[0022] The water flosser pump body 104 is a commercially available product that can be purchased directly. The water flosser pump body 104 is equipped with a switch. When the switch is turned on, the bubble unit 200 works and generates bubbles. The water flosser pump body 104 draws out the water containing bubbles from the water tank 101 and sprays it out through the nozzle 105 to clean the teeth.
[0023] Specifically, a hopper 102 is provided on the top of the water tank 101, and the water tank 101 is filled with water. Before use, water is poured into the water tank 101 through the hopper 102. Of course, in order to improve the cleaning effect on teeth, dental cleaning solution can also be added to the water tank 101 through the hopper 102. Dental cleaning solution can be purchased directly.
[0024] Furthermore, the bubble unit 200 includes a bubble belt 201, an air supply pipe 203, a housing 205, and a motor 206. The bubble belt 201 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank 101. One end of the bubble belt 201 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 202. The connecting pipe 202 is connected to one end of the housing 205 through the air supply pipe 203. An air intake pipe 204 is fixedly connected to the housing 205. The motor 206 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 205. A gear 207 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 206. A piston 210 is provided inside the housing 205. A rack 208 is fixedly provided on one side of the piston 210. The gear 207 meshes with the rack 208.
[0025] The bubble band 201 is a hollow strip structure with several small holes on its top surface. When gas enters the water through these holes, bubbles are generated. There are multiple bubble bands 201; in this embodiment, four bubble bands 201 are preferably provided. The connecting pipe 202 connects all the bubble bands 201.
[0026] A gas supply pipe mounting hole is provided on the side wall of the water tank 101. The gas supply pipe 203 passes through the gas supply pipe mounting hole and enters the side wall of the water tank 101. The outer wall of the gas supply pipe 203 is fixed and sealed to the wall of the gas supply pipe mounting hole. The sealed connection can effectively prevent water from leaking out of the water tank 101.
[0027] In this embodiment, the intake pipe 204 and the delivery pipe 203 are connected to the same side of the outer casing 205. Both the delivery pipe 203 and the intake pipe 204 are equipped with one-way valves. Under the action of the one-way valves, the delivery pipe 203 only outputs air and does not input air, while the intake pipe 204 only inputs air and does not output air.
[0028] A through-hole groove is provided on one side of the outer casing 205. The through-hole groove is located on the opposite side of the air supply pipe 203 and the air intake pipe 204. The rack 208 is slidably installed with the outer casing 205 through the through-hole groove.
[0029] Preferably, a through hole is provided on the side wall of the housing 205, and a bearing is installed on the output shaft of the motor 206, with the bearing installed inside the through hole. A base 209 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the housing 205.
[0030] One end of the suction pipe 204 is fixedly connected to the suction cylinder 211. A filter frame 212 is installed inside the suction cylinder 211, and the filter frame 212 is filled with filter cotton 213. A handle is fixedly installed on one side of the filter frame 212. The air is filtered twice by the filter frame 212 and the filter cotton 213, which can prevent impurities in the air from being sucked into the water, avoid secondary pollution, and prevent problems such as incomplete cleaning of teeth.
[0031] To facilitate cleaning of the filter frame 212 and filter cotton 213, it is preferable to open mounting holes on the side wall of the air intake 211 and open sliding grooves on the inner wall of the air intake 211, so that the filter frame 212 can be inserted into and slidably connected to the air intake 211 through the mounting holes and sliding grooves, thereby facilitating installation and disassembly.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, water is first added to the water tank 101 through the feed hopper 102. Then, the water is drawn from the water tank 101 by the pump body 104 and sprayed out from the nozzle 105 to clean the teeth. This is convenient and quick. Simultaneously, the motor 206 drives the gear 207 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 208 to reciprocate, causing the piston 210 to slide back and forth inside the outer casing 205. Air is then drawn in through the suction pipe 204 and enters the bubble belt 201 through the air supply pipe 203 and connecting pipe 202. Bubbles are generated by spraying out through the small holes in the bubble belt 201, enhancing the cleaning effect. It should be noted that the outer casing 205 has a controller for controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 206. This controller is existing technology and can be purchased directly. The controller is not shown in the figure. The controller is electrically connected to the motor 206.
[0033] While air is being drawn in through the intake pipe 204, the air first passes through the filter frame 212 and is filtered. Then it is filtered a second time through the filter cotton 213. After the filter has been used for a period of time, the filter frame 212 and the filter cotton 213 can be pulled out together through the handle on one side of the filter frame 212 for easy and quick replacement.
[0034] The above description, based on the embodiments shown in the drawings, details the structure, features, and effects of this utility model. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the scope of implementation of this utility model is not limited to what is shown in the drawings. Any changes made in accordance with the concept of this utility model, or modifications to equivalent embodiments, that do not exceed the spirit covered by the specification and drawings, shall be within the protection scope of this utility model.
