ULTRASONIC BACK SUCTION-INTEGRATED TOOTH CLEANER
20230049105 · 2023-02-16 · ·

An ultrasonic back suction-integrated tooth cleaner includes a tooth cleaner host and a tooth cleaner handle. The tooth cleaner host includes a pipeline structure inside. Head ends of a water supply pipeline and a back suction pipeline both extend out of a housing of the tooth cleaner host and are connected to a tail end of the tooth cleaner handle. In the present invention, a back suction pipeline is added to an existing tooth cleaner host, so that the host is adapted to an integral tooth cleaner handle with a back suction function. A flow rate in the water supply pipeline is regulated by using an electromagnetic valve, so that a requirement for accurately controlling a water output volume is satisfied. The tooth cleaner handle is ingeniously designed with a back suction pipeline inside the existing ultrasonic handle, so that an aerosol is effectively controlled during ultrasonic tooth cleaning.

ORAL IRRIGATOR HAVING WATER SPRAY SWITCHING FUNCTION

The present disclosure provides an oral irrigator having water spray switching function, which includes a body, a nozzle and a path switching mechanism. The nozzle is provided with a first path and a second path, and the path switching mechanism is configured to communicate one of the first path and the second path with an outlet end of a piston assembly inside the body of the oral irrigator, and disconnect the other one of the first path and the second path from the outlet end of the piston assembly. The nozzle has a water outlet communicating with the first path and the second path. Water sprays from the water outlet are different when the first path or the second path is communicated with the outlet end of the piston assembly inside the body. The oral irrigator of the present disclosure can realize water spray switching without changing the nozzle.
