Referring to fig. 1-3, a dental irrigator with an imaging system comprises: the device comprises a body 1, a water outlet nozzle 2 and an imaging system; the lens 3 of the imaging system is arranged on the body 1 and is positioned on the side of the water outlet nozzle 2 facing the jet flow; the image processing part of the imaging system is arranged in the body 1. The lens 3 can be an endoscope or an infrared thermal imaging lens.

The focal length range of the lens 3 is a-b, the numerical values of a and b are different according to different lenses, the mirror surface of the lens 3 is lower than the water outlet of the water outlet nozzle 2, the mirror surface of the lens 3 faces the water outlet nozzle 2, and the water outlet of the water outlet nozzle is located in the imaging area of the lens.

After the design is adopted, the imaging area of the lens 3 is partially overlapped with the area to be washed of the water outlet nozzle 2, the washing area of the water outlet nozzle 2 always appears in the imaging area of the lens, and optimally, the washing areas of the water outlet nozzle 2 and the water outlet nozzle 2 always appear in the imaging area of the lens. Therefore, when a user observes a certain position of the oral cavity through the lens 3 and needs to wash, the user can observe a washing area and the water outlet nozzle from the imaging area of the lens 3, and the user can wash the certain position only by pressing the switch. The position does not need to be adjusted, and the flushing effect can be observed in real time through the lens 3, so that the device is very clear and visual.

In this embodiment, the difference in height L between the mirror surface of the lens and the water outlet of the water outlet nozzle satisfies: a < L < b; the vertical distance L2 between the water outlet of the water outlet nozzle 2 and the central axis of the lens 3 meets the following requirements: l2 is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to tan (alpha/2) × L; where the divergence angle of the alpha lens.

In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to store the water outlet nozzle 2 and the lens 3, the water outlet nozzle 2 and the lens 3 are detachably connected to the body 1. The water outlet nozzle 2 is directly connected with the body 1 in an inserting mode, and the bottom of the lens 3 is provided with a connecting piece which is in mechanical connection and electrical connection with the bottom of the body 1, so that the lens 3 can be powered from the body 1 and fixed on the body 1. The connector can be in a magnetic attraction and conductive elastic sheet 31 mode, belongs to the prior art and is not described herein any more. As a simple alternative to this embodiment, the lens 3 may also be fixed to the body 1 non-detachably.

In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to store the detached faucet 2 and the lens 3, the body 1 has a cavity for storing and accommodating the lens 3 and the faucet 2. Therefore, the user does not need to prepare an additional storage box, and the portable multifunctional storage box is very convenient to carry when going out for travel.

In addition, the water toothpick in this embodiment is a portable water toothpick, so the water tank 17 is disposed in the body 1, and the bottom of the body 1 has a cover plate 171 for opening or closing the water tank 17. All components and parts that need can all integrate on body 1 like this, accomodate the volume very little, further convenience of customers goes out to carry.

In addition, a tooth flushing device control switch 11, an illumination switch 12 and a photographing switch 13 are arranged on the body 1 as control switches, as shown in fig. 10. As a simple alternative of this embodiment, the control switch may also be a push button switch, and the push button switch is pushed to different positions to start and stop the water outlet or open and close the lens.

When the user uses: the water outlet nozzle 2 is controlled to discharge water or stop discharging water by pressing the tooth flushing device control switch 11; pressing the lighting switch 12 controls the lens 3 to be turned on or off; after the lens 3 is started, the current imaging area of the lens 3 is shot by pressing the photographing switch 13.

The control switch and the illumination switch 12 are independent from each other in order to facilitate the user to use the dental irrigator or the lens 3 alone. The two have no dependency relationship, and the user can start the corresponding function of the switch by pressing any switch. Thereby facilitating the user to directly clean the oral cavity or directly observe the oral cavity.

In addition, the user can select the proper flushing force by repeatedly pressing the tooth flushing device control switch 11 to change the water outlet gear of the water outlet nozzle 2. In order to make the user intuitively know the current flushing gear, an indicator lamp 10 for indicating the current water outlet gear is further arranged on the body 1. The number of indicator lights 10 corresponds to the flush position, and as the flush position increases or decreases, the number of indicator lights 10 illuminated increases or decreases accordingly.

In order to make things convenient for the user to observe the oral cavity of oneself, still including installing the APP on intelligent terminal, establish wireless connection between APP and the camera lens 3, show the imaging area real-time of camera lens 3 on the APP, or show the oral cavity photo that camera lens 3 was shot on the APP. Therefore, the user can observe the mouth of the user in real time when the user washes teeth, or take pictures of the mouth of the user and carefully observe the pictures after the pictures are stored.

With further reference to fig. 4 and 5, in order to complete the water outlet function, the motor 14 is further arranged inside the body 1 to drive the piston assembly 15, the motor 14 drives the piston assembly 15 to reciprocate, so that water in the water tank 17 is pumped into the pipeline 151 inside the body 1, and the pipeline 151 is communicated with the water nozzle through the duckbill valve 16, so that the water backflow in the water nozzle can be avoided. The tank 17 is connected to the pipe 151 through the check valve 18, which also prevents the water in the pipe from flowing back into the tank 17.

In order to complete the lens imaging function, a lens circuit board and a conductive contact 19 electrically connected with the elastic spring piece 31 of the lens 3 are also arranged in the body 1, and the conductive contact 19 is connected with the circuit board through a wire. And a waterproof lens 32 is further arranged at one end of the lens 3 facing the oral cavity for protecting the lens of the lens 3. Meanwhile, when the lens 3 is not mounted on the body 1, a waterproof cover 33 is mounted on the body 1 to cover the conductive contact 19.

The lighting switch 12 and the photographing switch 13 are connected to the lens circuit board, the tooth flushing device control switch 11 is connected to the tooth flushing device circuit board, the two circuit boards are independent, and the fact that the two components can be used independently does not affect each other is guaranteed.

With further reference to fig. 6 and 7, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the body 1 is also slidably connected to the inner wall of the water tank 17 such that the water tank 17 moves between an extended position and a retracted position. To achieve that water in the water tank 17 can be drawn by the piston assembly 15 in the body 1. A bellows 172 is provided in the water tank 17, and the upper end of the bellows 172 is in communication with the pipe 151 in the body 1, and the lower end is extended or contracted as the water tank is extended or contracted, respectively. Because the water tank 17 and the body 1 are connected in a sliding way, the water tank 17 can be slid to the contraction position to reduce the storage volume when in storage, and the water tank 17 can be slid to the extension position to increase the effective volume of the water tank 17 when in use.

In this embodiment, taking the central axis of the lens 3 perpendicular to the central axis of the water outlet of the water nozzle 2 as an example, during actual design, the central axes of the lens and the water outlet can form an included angle of not 90 degrees, as long as the final difference of the heights L between the lens and the water outlet satisfies: a < L < b; and the vertical distance L2 between the water outlet of the water outlet nozzle and the central axis of the lens meets the following requirements: l2 is not less than 0 and not more than tan (alpha DEG/2) × L, as shown in FIG. 8.
