All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the utility model.

The embodiment of the utility model discloses an oral cavity cleaning device, which is shown in figures 1-3 and specifically comprises the following steps:

the device in this embodiment includes: the tooth cleaning device comprises a cleaner body, wherein a cleaning groove is formed in the cleaner body and is matched with a dentition; the cleaner is provided with a water inlet 1, and the water inlet 1 is communicated with a water outlet 2 in the cleaning groove.

Appearance of oral cleaners (referred to simply as cleaners): the utility model comprises two types, namely, a personalized oral cavity cleaner which is matched with the morphological appearance of the dentition of the oral cavity cleaner is designed according to a three-dimensional scanning model of a target dentition (full or partial deciduous teeth, full or partial permanent teeth, defective dentition, animal dentition and the like) as shown in the figure; the other is universal, namely, according to a standard oral cavity dentition model, the oral cavity dental appliance is divided into 3 types based on different dental arch sizes, and the oral cavity cleaner with universal morphological appearance is designed. The cleaner coverage area can be varied according to different needs, and the utility model provides different types including full, half, 1/4, etc.

The design of the water inlet 1 of the oral cleaner is as follows: according to different oral cavity cleaning requirements and water pressure equipment conditions, the cleaner can realize one-time work or sectional multi-time work, namely, the water inlet 1 is provided with different numbers of single-pass, double-pass, four-pass, eight-pass and the like.

The water inlet of each passage is changed through a switching mechanism, and the manual switching can be realized or the automatic switching can be realized.

The design of the water outlet 2 (spray hole) of the oral cleaner: according to the distribution information of dental plaque, the design range of the spray holes is positioned at the gingival margin, adjacent gaps and pit point gaps of all teeth; the aperture value range of the water outlet end of the spray hole is 0.5-1.0 mm; the distance between the water outlet end of the spray hole and the tooth surface is 1-4 mm; the angle between the water jet and the tooth surface is 0-90 degrees; the number of cleaning spray holes required by each tooth is between 3 and 10, and the number of the full-mouth spray holes is approximately 70 to 180; the spray hole forms comprise straight holes, conical holes, cavitation spray holes, fan-shaped spray holes and other different types; the nozzle pattern may be straight or curved.

Water heating constant temperature system: the technology design has the constant temperature function, can realize the constant temperature of 37 ℃ of water flow, and avoids the cold and hot stimulation sensitive symptoms of teeth.

Pressure protection technology: there are numerous studies evaluating the safety of oral irrigation, indicating that attached gingiva can withstand pressures lasting up to 1103kPa (160 psi) for 30s without irreversible damage; for intact soft tissue, a pressure of 621kPa (90 psi) is acceptable; for inflamed or ulcerated soft tissue, a pressure of 345-483 kPa (50-70 psi) is recommended. Therefore, the technology is designed with a pressure protection device aiming at water pressure, and the maximum pressure value of each gear is limited by the gear setting. For example, for normal tissue grade, the water input pressure is limited to 90-100psi.

Oral cleaner manufacturing material: the final implementation of the oral cavity cleaner can be based on a 3D printing technology, wherein the manufacturing materials of the oral cavity cleaner are metal (pure titanium, titanium alloy and the like), high polymer materials (PEEK and the like), silica gel and the like, and the types of materials comprise hard materials and soft materials, and can be combined in a product; the spray hole position can be formed by secondary machining, such as turning, electro-erosion, laser drilling and the like; the inner surface of the cleaner can be polished by the abrasive particle flow, so that the inner surface is smoother, and the flow resistance is reduced.

When the bubble water jet is used for cleaning the surface of a target, bubbles can be automatically enriched on the surface of bacterial plaques and dirt, then the volume of the bubbles changes, namely 'pulsation', to generate secondary jet, the speed of the secondary jet can reach tens to hundreds of meters per second, so that the impact pressure is higher than that of the pure water jet, the cleaning effect can be greatly improved, and the water pressure requirement can be reduced. The enrichment is that tiny bubbles exist in water and rub with water molecular groups to enable the surfaces of the bubbles to be negatively charged, dirt, bacteria and the like with positive charges can be adsorbed, and meanwhile, the tiny bubbles can easily reach the target cleaning surface under the driving of water flow, when the tiny bubbles act on the cleaning surface, the bubbles shrink and collapse to generate secondary jet flow, and the direction of the bubbles tends to the target surface, so that the efficient cleaning effect is achieved.

Examples of applications for the bubble water jet are: the air bubble generation mode comprises the steps of directly supplying air by an air pump, dissolving effervescent tablets or effervescent powder in water, dissolving air into water at high pressure in advance to form a high-pressure tank, controlling and mixing by negative pressure suction to form air bubbles, generating micro air bubbles by the air through micro holes, and the like, wherein the micro holes can be different in length, can be distributed in a straight line, can be distributed in an annular shape, can be distributed in a curve shape, and the like.

In practice, the effervescent tablet or powder may be of various compositions, may generate gases, or may generate ions that are beneficial to oral health, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, bacteriostatic factors.

In practical applications, the effervescent tablet release device is various, and the embodiment presses the effervescent tablet into the fluid through the button is one of them.
