Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental floss devices, and in particular to a dental floss essential oil replenishment device and a dental floss machine. Background Technology

[0002] As dental flossers with built-in fragrance functions become increasingly popular, users are demanding higher standards for fragrance application. Current technology typically involves the liquid applicator directly pressing against the floss for application. This method not only makes it difficult to control the amount of fragrance applied, leading to uneven application, but also easily bends or damages the floss fibers during the application process, affecting the floss's normal use and wasting fragrance. Therefore, existing technology suffers from uneven fragrance application during floss refilling. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the angle adjustment structure includes a support rod and at least one rotating block mounted on the support rod; the support rod is mounted on the mounting base and supported by the mounting base; the rotating block is hinged to the mounting base via the support rod, and the rotating block is connected to a locking structure, which is used to prevent the rotating block from rotating relative to the mounting base; each of the liquid adsorption heads is respectively mounted on one of the rotating blocks.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple rotating blocks are provided, and at least one rotating block is slidably mounted on the support rod to adjust the spacing between adjacent rotating blocks.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating block has at least two first clamping plates, each first clamping plate having a first groove. The two first clamping plates are arranged opposite each other so that the two oppositely arranged first grooves form a first through hole, through which the support rod passes. The two oppositely arranged first clamping plates are spaced apart to form a first compensation gap between them. The two oppositely arranged first clamping plates are connected by a first fastener to reduce the first compensation gap and lock the rotating block to the support rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating block is provided with a slot, and the liquid adsorption head is provided with a clamping plate. The clamping plate is embedded in the slot and locked to the rotating block by a first fastener.

[0012] Furthermore, the slot extends through the opposite sides of the rotating block along the extension direction of the slot, and the rotating block is located between the adsorption head and the end of the clamp plate away from the liquid adsorption head.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating block has an inlet / outlet groove, the opposite sides of the inlet / outlet groove are respectively connected to the slot and the external environment, the inlet / outlet groove extends along the extension direction of the slot and penetrates the opposite sides of the rotating block, the inlet / outlet groove is used for the clamping plate to be inserted into the slot and for the clamping plate to be removed from the slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting base has at least two second clamping plates, each with a second groove. The two second clamping plates are arranged opposite each other so that the two oppositely arranged second grooves form a second through hole, through which the support rod passes. The two oppositely arranged second clamping plates are spaced apart to form a second compensation gap between them. The two oppositely arranged second clamping plates are connected by a second fastener to reduce the second compensation gap and lock the rotating block to the support rod.

[0015] Furthermore, a fragrance container is provided below the liquid adsorption head, and the fragrance container is provided with a fragrance tank for holding essential oils and for replenishing the liquid adsorption head with fragrance; the dental floss essential oil replenishment device also includes a driving device, the output end of which is connected to the mounting base, and the driving device is used to drive the liquid adsorption head closer to or further away from the dental floss positioning base.

[0018] Furthermore, the bracket is stacked on top of the container body.

[0019] Furthermore, the liquid adsorption head is a component made of cotton.

[0020] A dental floss machine includes a dental floss essential oil refill device.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. The structure of the mounting base equipped with a liquid adsorption head provides a stable support foundation for the storage and transfer of fragrances, ensuring the stability of the relative position between the supply device and the dental floss positioning seat. Based on the porous structure of the liquid adsorption head for adsorbing and retaining fragrances, the active absorption and stable storage of fragrances are achieved using principles such as capillary action, preventing unnecessary liquid flow and creating conditions for controllable and quantitative fragrance supply.

[0023] 2. Based on the working principle of the liquid adsorption head squeezing the dental floss in the floss positioning seat and causing the pores to contract under pressure. This design ensures that the fragrance is only released from the contracted pores under the pressure applied by the dental floss, achieving "on-demand supply" of fragrance application. This not only improves the uniformity and efficiency of application but also reduces the risk of physical damage to the dental floss fibers through buffered squeezing contact.

[0024] 3. Based on the design of the mounting base supporting the liquid suction head through an angle adjustment structure, and the fact that this angle adjustment structure can swing relative to the mounting base, the tilt angle of the liquid suction head relative to the horizontal plane can be flexibly adjusted. This allows the working angle of the liquid suction head to adaptively match the spatial position of different sizes of dental floss or dental floss positioning seats, ensuring that it always presses against the dental floss at the optimal contact angle.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is described as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] See Figures 1-2 The specific implementation of a preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] The dental floss fragrance oil refill device includes a mounting base 1; the mounting base 1 is equipped with a liquid adsorption head 2, which has pores for adsorbing and retaining fragrance; the liquid adsorption head 2 is used to squeeze the dental floss in the dental floss positioning seat 4, causing the pores to contract under pressure and applying the fragrance from the pores to the dental floss in the dental floss positioning seat 4. The core function of this dental floss fragrance oil refill device is to evenly apply the fragrance stored in the liquid adsorption head 2 to the surface of the dental floss through a controlled squeeze-release mechanism.

[0033] The core structure of the device mainly includes a mounting base 1 and a liquid adsorption head 2. The mounting base 1 serves as the supporting foundation for the entire device, and the liquid adsorption head 2 is fixedly mounted on its body. The liquid adsorption head 2 has a microporous structure inside, which is specifically designed to adsorb and stably retain fragrance through capillary action, thereby forming a miniature fragrance storage unit.

[0034] The liquid suction head 2 applies pressure to the dental floss on the floss positioning seat 4. At the moment of contact, the pressure applied by the floss to the surface of the liquid suction head 2 is directly transmitted to its internal pores, causing the pores to undergo physical deformation due to pressure contraction. This deformation process creates a squeezing effect on the fragrance stored in the pores, thereby releasing it smoothly; subsequently, during the continuous relative movement between the dental floss and the liquid suction head 2, the released fragrance is evenly coated onto the surface of the dental floss.

[0035] Mounting base 1 can be integrally injection molded from rigid plastic to provide stable support. The liquid suction head 2 can be made of a porous elastic material (such as sponge or sintered fiber) and its bottom or side is fixedly embedded in the corresponding slot of mounting base 1. During use, the liquid suction head 2 is pre-adsorbed with sufficient fragrance; when the dental floss machine is running and the floss is drawn through the floss positioning seat 4, mounting base 1 drives the liquid suction head 2 to press against the floss. Under contact pressure, the pores of the liquid suction head 2 contract, releasing and transferring the fragrance to the floss, completing a uniform fragrance replenishment.

[0036] In terms of material selection, the liquid adsorption head 2 is preferably made of an elastic material with a porous structure and good liquid adsorption properties. For example, it can be a natural fiber aggregate (such as medical absorbent cotton), an open-cell polymer foam material (such as polyurethane foam), or a sintered porous polymer. These materials have a large number of interconnected micropores inside, which can efficiently adsorb and store fragrances, and at the same time, they can undergo elastic deformation under pressure to release the fragrances.

[0037] It is understandable that the structure of the mounting base 1 with the liquid adsorption head 2 provides a stable support for the storage and transfer of fragrance, ensuring the stability of the relative position between the supply device and the floss positioning seat 4. Based on the porous structure of the liquid adsorption head 2 for adsorbing and retaining fragrance, the active absorption and stable storage of fragrance are achieved using principles such as capillary action, preventing unnecessary liquid flow and creating conditions for controllable and quantitative fragrance supply. The liquid adsorption head 2 works by squeezing the floss in the floss positioning seat 4 and causing the pores to contract under pressure. This design ensures that the fragrance is only released from the contracted pores under the pressure applied by the floss, achieving "on-demand supply" of fragrance application. This not only improves the uniformity and efficiency of application but also reduces the risk of physical damage to the floss fibers through buffered squeezing contact.

[0038] Preferably, the dental floss fragrance oil refill device includes an angle adjustment structure 5. The mounting base 1 supports the liquid adsorption head 2 through the angle adjustment structure 5. The angle adjustment structure 5 can swing relative to the mounting base 1 to adjust the tilt angle of the liquid adsorption head 2 relative to the horizontal plane. The core function of this angle adjustment structure 5 is that, through flexible swing adjustment, the liquid adsorption head 2 can adaptively align and contact the dental floss on the dental floss positioning seat 4 in multiple dimensions, ensuring the optimal fragrance application angle and contact position.

[0039] Angle adjustment structure 5 connects the mounting base 1 and the liquid adsorption head 2, forming a movable support mechanism. This structure allows the liquid adsorption head 2 to be connected to the mounting base 1 without being rigidly fixed, but rather through the hinge point of the angle adjustment structure 5, achieving a multi-degree-of-freedom connection. This not only supports tilt adjustment in the vertical plane but also allows for swinging in the horizontal direction, thus providing a stable support base for the liquid adsorption head 2 and providing the structural prerequisite for adjusting its spatial posture.

[0040] The dynamic adjustment process begins with applying an external force to the angle adjustment structure 5, driving it to swing entirely or partially relative to the mounting base 1. This swing can occur in both the vertical and horizontal directions, thereby directly changing the attitude and horizontal orientation of the liquid adsorption head 2, which is fixed to the angle adjustment structure 5, in space. In this way, the operator can adjust the tilt angle of the liquid adsorption head 2 and control its horizontal swing angle to bring it close to and contact the dental floss in the optimal working position. After locking this position, subsequent fragrance replenishment operations can be performed.

[0041] Preferably, multiple liquid adsorption heads 2 are provided, and the multiple liquid adsorption heads 2 are distributed at intervals along the first direction. The core function of providing multiple liquid adsorption heads 2 is to significantly improve the fragrance supply efficiency and coverage uniformity by increasing the number of simultaneously working application units, which is especially suitable for wide-width dental floss or floss requiring intensive replenishment.

[0042] Multiple liquid adsorption heads 2 are provided, each supported by an angle adjustment structure 5 or directly by a mounting base 1. These liquid adsorption heads 2 are distributed along a straight line or curve, i.e., in the first direction, and are arranged at a certain distance from each other, thus forming a multi-point application array in space.

[0043] As the floss on the floss holder 4 moves along its path and passes through the smear array, multiple liquid suction heads 2 can simultaneously squeeze and smear different sections of the floss. This parallel processing mechanism not only significantly increases the amount of fragrance applied in a single operation, but more importantly, it ensures that the fragrance can continuously and evenly cover the entire width or length of the floss, avoiding omissions or unevenness that may occur with single-point application.

[0044] Preferably, the angle adjustment structure 5 includes a support rod 501 and at least one rotating block 502 mounted on the support rod 501; the support rod 501 is mounted on and supported by the mounting base 1; the rotating block 502 is hinged to the mounting base 1 via the support rod 501, and the rotating block 502 is connected to a locking structure to prevent the rotating block 502 from rotating relative to the mounting base 1; each liquid adsorption head 2 is respectively mounted on one of the rotating blocks 502. The core function of this angle adjustment structure 5 is that, through the combination of the support rod 501 and the rotating block 502, it provides an independently adjustable mounting base for multiple liquid adsorption heads 2, achieving individualized angle and position adaptation.

[0045] The angle adjustment structure 5 mainly includes a support rod 501 and at least one rotating block 502. Both ends of the support rod 501 are fixed to the mounting base 1, serving as the core load-bearing structure and rotation axis. The rotating block 502 is fitted onto the outside of the support rod 501, and its cooperation with the support rod 501 forms a hinge joint, allowing the rotating block 502 to rotate about the support rod 501 as an axis. Each rotating block 502 is equipped with a locking structure, and each liquid adsorption head 2 is independently mounted on a specific rotating block 502.

[0046] During adjustment, the operator can directly rotate a single rotating block 502, which will cause the liquid adsorption head 2 on it to rotate synchronously around the axis of the support rod 501, thereby changing the tilt angle of the liquid adsorption head 2 relative to the horizontal plane. After adjusting to the target angle, by operating the locking structure connected to the rotating block 502, friction or restraint force can be generated to prevent it from continuing to rotate, thereby firmly locking the liquid adsorption head 2 in the current working posture and realizing fixed-point fragrance replenishment.

[0047] Preferably, multiple rotating blocks 502 are provided, and at least one rotating block 502 is slidably mounted on the support rod 501 to adjust the spacing between adjacent rotating blocks 502. The core function of this design is to flexibly adjust the working spacing between each liquid adsorption head 2 by allowing the rotating blocks 502 to slide on the support rod 501, thereby adapting to multiple dental flosses of different specifications or with different line spacings.

[0048] Multiple rotating blocks 502 are provided, at least one of which is engaged with the support rod 501 as a sliding pair rather than a simple rotating pair. The inner hole of the rotating block 502 is clearance-fitted with the outer surface of the support rod 501 or is provided with a linear bearing, so that it can freely translate along the extension direction of the support rod 501 when axially unlocked, while the other rotating blocks 502 can be selectively fixed at specific axial positions of the support rod 501.

[0049] When the layout needs to be adjusted, the operator first releases the axial locking mechanism of the target rotating block 502, and then pushes the rotating block 502 and the liquid suction head 2 mounted on it axially along the support rod 501. This sliding action changes the linear distance between the rotating block 502 and adjacent rotating blocks 502, thereby redistributing the positions of each liquid suction head 2 within the working area. After adjustment, the axial locking mechanism is re-locked to fix the new spacing layout to match specific dental floss work requirements.

[0050] Preferably, the rotating block 502 has at least two first clamping plates 503, each with a first groove 504. The two first clamping plates 503 are arranged opposite each other so that the two oppositely arranged first grooves 504 form a first through hole 505, through which the support rod 501 passes. The two oppositely arranged first clamping plates 503 are spaced apart to form a first compensation gap 506 between them. The two oppositely arranged first clamping plates 503 are connected by a first fastener to shrink the first compensation gap 506 and lock the rotating block 502 to the support rod 501. The core function of this connection structure between the rotating block 502 and the support rod 501 is to simultaneously adjust and lock the angle and axial position of the rotating block 502 on the support rod 501 through a controllable clamping mechanism.

[0051] The main body of the rotating block 502 is composed of at least two opposing first clamping plates 503, each of which has a first groove 504 machined on it. When the two first clamping plates 503 are assembled, their first grooves 504 together form a first through hole 505 for the support rod 501 to pass through. In the assembled state, a specific gap is reserved between the sidewalls of the two first clamping plates 503, thereby forming a first compensation gap 506. A first fastener is provided on the first clamping plate 503, and the fastening end of the fastener spans the first compensation gap 506 and is connected to the two first clamping plates 503.

[0052] When the state of the rotating block 502 needs to be adjusted, the first fastener is loosened. At this time, the first compensation gap 506 increases, and the clamping force of the two first clamping plates 503 on the support rod 501 is released. The rotating block 502 can then rotate freely around the support rod 501 or slide along its axis. After adjusting to the target angle and position, the first fastener is tightened. The tension generated by the fastener will force the two first clamping plates 503 to move closer together, causing the first compensation gap 506 to contract. This utilizes the elastic deformation of the first clamping plates 503 to tightly hold the support rod 501, ultimately locking the rotating block 502 securely in the current position.

[0053] Preferably, the rotating block 502 is provided with a slot 507, and the liquid adsorption head 2 is provided with a clamping plate 3. The clamping plate 3 is embedded in the slot 507 and locked to the rotating block 502 by a first fastener. The core function of this connection structure is to provide a quick-release mechanical interface between the liquid adsorption head 2 and the rotating block 502, which facilitates the replacement, cleaning or maintenance of the liquid adsorption head 2.

[0054] The rotating block 502 has a slot 507 of a specific size machined on its body, and the base of the liquid adsorption head 2 extends to form a clamping plate 3 whose size matches that of the slot 507. In the assembled state, the clamping plate 3 is accommodated in the internal space of the slot 507, and the first fastener passes laterally through the wall of the rotating block 502 and abuts against or connects to the clamping plate 3.

[0055] During installation, the clamping plate 3 of the liquid adsorption head 2 is inserted into the slot 507 of the rotating block 502 along a specific direction to achieve initial positioning and support. Then, the first fastener is tightened to apply pressure to the clamping plate 3, thereby securely locking the liquid adsorption head 2 onto the rotating block 502 through friction or mechanical interlocking. For disassembly, simply loosening the first fastener releases the lock, allowing the clamping plate 3 to be pulled out of the slot 507, completing the rapid separation of the liquid adsorption head 2.

[0056] Preferably, the slot 507 extends through the opposite sides of the rotating block 502 along its extension direction, and the rotating block 502 is located between the suction head and the end of the clamped plate 3 away from the liquid suction head 2. The core function of this through-type slot 507 design is to realize the side mounting and support of the liquid suction head 2 from the rotating block 502, and the end of the clamped plate 3 away from the liquid suction head 2 constitutes a grip for easy holding.

[0057] The slot 507 on the rotating block 502 is a through structure, extending through both the left and right or top and bottom opposite sides of the rotating block 502. The clamping plate 3 of the liquid adsorption head 2 is inserted into the rotating block 502 from one side and passes through the through slot 507, so that the end of the clamping plate 3 protrudes from the other side of the rotating block 502. At this time, the solid part of the rotating block 502 is located between the working end of the liquid adsorption head 2 and the protruding end of the clamping plate 3, forming an effective force support point.

[0058] During installation, the operator horizontally pushes the clamping plate 3 of the liquid suction head 2 into the through slot 507 from one side of the rotating block 502 until the working end of the liquid suction head 2 contacts the side wall of the rotating block 502. In this state, the body of the rotating block 502 is exactly between the liquid suction head 2 and the protruding end of the clamping plate 3. When the liquid suction head 2 squeezes the dental floss, the force is transmitted through the body of the rotating block 502, forming a stable lever support, effectively preventing loosening or deformation of the connection part due to cantilever stress.

[0059] Preferably, the rotating block 502 has an inlet / outlet groove 508. The opposite sides of the inlet / outlet groove 508 are connected to the slot 507 and the external environment, respectively. The inlet / outlet groove 508 extends along the extension direction of the slot 507 and passes through the opposite sides of the rotating block 502. The inlet / outlet groove 508 is used for the clamping plate 3 to be inserted into the slot 507 and for the clamping plate to be removed from the slot 507. The core function of this inlet / outlet groove 508 structure is to provide a lateral insertion and removal channel for the clamping plate 3 of the liquid adsorption head 2, so as to realize its quick assembly and disassembly from the rotating block 502 without having to insert and remove it along the axial direction of the slot 507.

[0060] The rotating block 502 has an inlet / outlet slot 508 further formed on the side wall of the through slot 507. One side of the inlet / outlet slot 508 communicates with the internal space of the slot 507, while the other side is open to the external environment of the rotating block 502. The length direction of the inlet / outlet slot 508 is consistent with the extension direction of the slot 507, and it is also designed as an open structure that passes through the opposite sides of the rotating block 502.

[0061] During assembly and disassembly, the operator aligns the clamping plate 3 of the liquid suction head 2 with the opening of the inlet / outlet groove 508 and moves it laterally in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the slot 507, allowing the clamping plate 3 to directly insert into or detach from the slot 507 through the inlet / outlet groove 508. This design eliminates the axial insertion / removal space required by traditional through-slot 507, enabling convenient replacement and maintenance of the liquid suction head 2 even in confined or limited installation spaces.

[0062] Preferably, a fragrance container 8 is provided below the liquid adsorption head 2, and the fragrance container 8 has a fragrance tank for holding essential oil. The fragrance tank is used to replenish the fragrance of the dental floss to the liquid adsorption head 2. The dental floss essential oil replenishment device also includes a driving device 6. The output end of the driving device 6 is connected to the mounting base 1, and the driving device 6 is used to drive the liquid adsorption head 2 to move closer to or away from the dental floss positioning base 4. The core function of this integrated structure is to realize the replenishment and storage of fragrance through the fragrance container 8, and to control the contact and separation between the liquid adsorption head 2 and the dental floss using the driving device 6.

[0063] The fragrance container 8 is fixedly positioned directly below the liquid adsorption head 2. Inside, there is a fragrance tank for holding essential oils, with the opening of the fragrance tank facing upwards and corresponding vertically to the position of the liquid adsorption head 2. The main body of the drive device 6 is fixedly mounted on the equipment base, and its output end is connected to the mounting base 1, thus forming an actuator capable of driving the entire mounting base 1 and liquid adsorption head 2 assembly to move up and down.

[0064] When fragrance needs to be replenished, the drive unit 6 drives the mounting base 1 to lower the liquid adsorption head 2, immersing it in the fragrance tank of the fragrance container 8 to adsorb sufficient fragrance. After replenishment, the drive unit 6 drives the liquid adsorption head 2 to rise and return to its original position. When flossing is required, the drive unit 6 controls the liquid adsorption head 2 to rise until it contacts the floss on the floss positioning seat 4 and applies a predetermined pressure. After flossing is completed, the head is driven to separate from the floss, thus achieving a complete automated work cycle.

[0065] Preferably, the flavor tank is equipped with a temperature sensor 7 and / or a temperature control device. The core function of this design is to ensure that the flavor is always kept within its optimal operating temperature range for volatility and fluidity by monitoring and controlling the temperature of the flavor in the flavor tank, thereby ensuring the stability of the replenishment effect.

[0066] Temperature sensor 7 continuously monitors the fragrance temperature and feeds the signal back to the control system. When the temperature is below the set threshold, the temperature control device starts the heating function to reduce the viscosity of the fragrance and increase its fluidity, so that the liquid adsorption head 2 can fully adsorb it. When the temperature is too high, heating is stopped or cooling is started to prevent the fragrance from excessively volatilizing or deteriorating, thus realizing intelligent constant temperature control of the fragrance's working state.

[0067] Preferably, the fragrance container 8 includes a container body 811 and a bracket 812, the bracket 812 being detachably connected to the container body 811, and the fragrance reservoir being disposed on the bracket 812. The core function of this split structure is to integrate the fragrance reservoir, which is easy to clean, onto the separately removable bracket 812, thereby achieving convenient maintenance and hygiene management of the fragrance container 8.

[0068] The fragrance container 8 adopts a split structure, consisting of two main parts: the container body 811 and the bracket 812. The bracket 812 is detachably connected to the container body 811 via a slide rail, a snap-fit, or a magnetic element, while the fragrance tank for directly holding the fragrance is located in the upper structure of the bracket 812.

[0069] When it is necessary to replace the fragrance or clean the fragrance tank, the operator can directly remove the bracket 812 from the container body 811 to independently clean or refill the integrated fragrance tank. After maintenance, the bracket 812 can be reinstalled back into the container body 811 for continued use. This design ensures that the liquid adsorption head 2 can still properly contact the fragrance tank located on the bracket 812 when replenishing the fragrance.

[0070] Preferably, the bracket 812 is stacked on top of the container body 811. The core function of this stacking structure is to achieve rapid positioning and stable load-bearing of the bracket 812 and the container body 811 through a compact layout of stacking, thereby optimizing space utilization.

[0071] The bracket 812 is placed directly on the top opening of the container body 811 in a planar contact manner. The bottom contour of the bracket 812 matches the edge or support structure of the top opening of the container body 811, so that the overall weight of the bracket 812 is directly borne by the container body 811.

[0072] During installation, the bracket 812 is placed vertically downwards on top of the container body 811, relying on gravity and friction of the contact surface to achieve natural positioning and fixation; during disassembly, the bracket 812 can be lifted upwards to separate it. This stacking structure allows the liquid adsorption head 2 to normally contact the fragrance tank on the bracket 812 for fragrance replenishment, while providing the operator with the simplest disassembly and assembly path.

[0073] Preferably, the liquid adsorption head 2 is a component made of cotton. The core function of using cotton as the material for the liquid adsorption head 2 is to utilize its natural high porosity and excellent capillary action to achieve the adsorption, storage, and release of essential oils.

[0074] The liquid adsorption head 2 is a component formed into a specific geometric shape by medical-grade degreased cotton through a pressing or winding process. Its interior retains the three-dimensional mesh porous structure formed by the natural interweaving of cotton fibers, which constitutes the pores for adsorbing and retaining fragrances.

[0075] When the liquid adsorption head 2 comes into contact with the essential oil, its fiber pores automatically draw in and store the essential oil through capillary action; when the adsorption head is pressed and squeezes the dental floss, the fiber pores are compressed and deformed, and the stored essential oil is smoothly released onto the surface of the dental floss; after the pressure is released, the fiber structure rebounds and can be replenished with essential oil from the essential oil tank again, forming a sustainable replenishment cycle.

[0076] Preferably, the mounting base 1 has at least two second clamping pieces 101, each with a second groove 102. The two second clamping pieces 101 are arranged opposite each other so that the two oppositely arranged second grooves 102 form a second through hole 103, through which the support rod 501 passes. The two oppositely arranged second clamping pieces 101 are spaced apart to form a second compensation gap 104 between them. The two oppositely arranged second clamping pieces 101 are connected by a second fastener to shrink the second compensation gap 104 and lock the rotating block 502 to the support rod 501. The core function of this connection structure between the mounting base 1 and the support rod 501 is to realize the installation, fine-tuning, and locking of the support rod 501 on the mounting base 1 through an adjustable clamping mechanism.

[0077] The mounting base 1 consists of at least two opposing second clamping plates 101, each with a second groove 102 machined on it. When the two second clamping plates 101 are joined together, their second grooves 102 together form a second through hole 103 for the support rod 501 to pass through. In the joined state, a specific gap is reserved between the sidewalls of the two second clamping plates 101, thereby forming a second compensation gap 104. A second fastener is provided on the second clamping plate 101, and the fastening end of the fastener spans the second compensation gap 104 and is connected to the two second clamping plates 101.

[0078] When the angle of the support rod 501 needs to be adjusted, loosen the second fastener. At this time, the second compensation gap 104 increases, and the clamping force of the two second clamping plates 101 on the support rod 501 is released, allowing the support rod 501 to rotate freely within the second through hole 103. After adjusting to the target angle, tighten the second fastener. The tension generated by the fastener will force the two second clamping plates 101 to move closer together, causing the second compensation gap 104 to contract. Thus, the elastic deformation of the second clamping plates 101 tightly holds the support rod 501, ultimately securing the support rod 501 and the entire angle adjustment structure 5 connected to it firmly to the mounting base 1.

[0079] A dental floss machine includes a dental floss essential oil refill device. The core function of this dental floss machine is to simultaneously and evenly apply the essential oil during the flossing process by integrating the dental floss essential oil refill device.

[0080] The dental floss machine integrates a dental floss positioning seat 4, a drive mechanism, and a dental floss essential oil replenishment device on its main frame. The mounting base 1 of the dental floss essential oil replenishment device is fixed inside the dental floss machine, and the position of its liquid adsorption head 2 corresponds to the dental floss path running on the dental floss positioning seat 4. The essential oil container 8 is located below the liquid adsorption head 2 at the replenishment position.

[0081] When the flosser is started, the drive mechanism pulls the floss through the floss positioning seat 4 continuously; at the same time, the liquid adsorption head 2 contacts the floss and applies fragrance evenly to the floss surface through contact and squeezing action, achieving cleaning and fragrance enhancement at the same time, and automatically resets after application.

[0082] In summary, the structure of the mounting base 1 with the liquid adsorption head 2 provides a stable support for the storage and transfer of fragrance, ensuring the stability of the relative position between the replenishment device and the dental floss positioning seat 4. The liquid adsorption head 2, with its porous structure for adsorbing and retaining fragrance, utilizes capillary action to achieve active extraction and stable storage of fragrance, creating conditions for controllable and quantitative fragrance supply. Based on the working principle of the liquid adsorption head 2 squeezing the dental floss in the dental floss positioning seat 4 and causing the pores to contract under pressure, "on-demand supply" of fragrance is achieved, releasing it only under pressure. This improves the uniformity and efficiency of application while reducing the risk of damage to the dental floss through buffered squeezing. Furthermore, the mounting base 1, with its angle adjustment structure 5 supporting the liquid adsorption head 2 and designed to be adjustable by swing, allows the liquid adsorption head 2 to adaptively match the spatial positions of different dental flosses and the positioning seat, ensuring that fragrance replenishment is always completed at the optimal contact angle.
