本発明は、円筒型の超音波振動子から円周方向に超音波振動を照射することにより、口腔衛生器本体を動かすことなく口腔内を洗浄及び歯垢除去することができる超音波口腔衛生器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an ultrasonic oral hygiene device capable of cleaning and removing plaque in the oral cavity without moving the oral hygiene device main body by irradiating ultrasonic vibration in a circumferential direction from a cylindrical ultrasonic vibrator. It is about.

超音波照射部分に超音波振動子を装着したものとして、図４に示すように、筒状胴部１ａと柄部１ａによってマッサージ器本体１が構成され、筒状胴部１ａ内に発振器２が装着され、又、発振器２に電力を印加する電源３が装着され、さらに、柄部１ｂの先端に板状の圧電振動子４が埋設され、この圧電振動子４に発振器２から発振出力が印加され、さらに、柄部１ｂの先端周囲に柔軟材（ゴム、樹脂等）５がキャップ状に装着され、筒状胴部１ａの外部に発振器２の発振出力をオン・オフするスイッチ６が装着された歯茎をマッサージ器を提案した。   As shown in FIG. 4, a massager body 1 is composed of a cylindrical body 1a and a handle 1a, and an oscillator 2 is provided in the cylindrical body 1a. A power source 3 for applying power to the oscillator 2 is mounted, and a plate-like piezoelectric vibrator 4 is embedded at the tip of the handle 1b. An oscillation output is applied to the piezoelectric vibrator 4 from the oscillator 2. Further, a flexible material (rubber, resin, etc.) 5 is attached in a cap shape around the tip of the handle portion 1b, and a switch 6 for turning on / off the oscillation output of the oscillator 2 is attached to the outside of the cylindrical body portion 1a. Suggested massager with gums.

しかしながら、このような超音波歯茎マッサージ器は、板状の圧電振動子４から照射される超音波は単一方向であり、又、単一の周波数の振動であるため、洗浄最適部及びマッサージ深さが固定されてしまう。
特願２００１−２１４６６２ However, in such an ultrasonic gum massager, since the ultrasonic wave irradiated from the plate-like piezoelectric vibrator 4 is in a single direction and has a single frequency, the optimal cleaning part and the massage depth Will be fixed.
Japanese Patent Application 2001-214662

解決しようとする問題点は、単一方向及び単一の振動による洗浄効果や歯垢除去効果及びマッサージ効果の位置が固定されるのを防ぐために、全周方向に超音波を照射し、又、複数の周波数の超音波振動を発生することである。   The problem to be solved is to irradiate ultrasonic waves in all directions in order to prevent the position of cleaning effect, plaque removal effect and massage effect by single direction and single vibration from being fixed, The generation of ultrasonic vibrations having a plurality of frequencies.

本発明は、超音波照射部分に円筒型の超音波振動子を装着するものであり、さらに、超音波振動子から円筒型の径振動、厚み振動及び長さ振動の３つの周波数の超音波振動又は３つの超音波振動の内の２つの振動を照射することにより、洗浄効果や歯垢除去効果及びマッサージ効果が固定することを防ぐことを特徴とする。   In the present invention, a cylindrical ultrasonic vibrator is attached to an ultrasonic irradiation portion, and further, ultrasonic vibrations of three frequencies, that is, a radial vibration, a thickness vibration, and a length vibration of the cylindrical shape from the ultrasonic vibrator. Alternatively, by irradiating two of the three ultrasonic vibrations, the cleaning effect, the plaque removal effect, and the massage effect are prevented from being fixed.

本発明の超音波口腔衛生器は、超音波照射部分に円筒型の超音波振動子を装着することにより、円筒型の超音波振動子から円周方向に超音波を照射することができるので、口腔衛生器本体を動かすことなく、洗浄効果や歯垢除去効果及びマッサージを有効にすることができ、さらに、円筒型の超音波振動子の径方向、厚み方向及び長さ方向の超音波振動を照射することができるので、洗浄効果や歯垢除去効果及びマッサージ効果の相乗効果を得られるという利点がある。   Since the ultrasonic oral hygiene device of the present invention can irradiate ultrasonic waves in the circumferential direction from the cylindrical ultrasonic vibrator by attaching the cylindrical ultrasonic vibrator to the ultrasonic irradiation portion, Without moving the body of the oral hygiene device, the cleaning effect, the plaque removal effect and the massage can be made effective, and the ultrasonic vibration in the radial direction, thickness direction and length direction of the cylindrical ultrasonic vibrator Since it can irradiate, there exists an advantage that the synergistic effect of a cleaning effect, a plaque removal effect, and a massage effect can be acquired.

図１は本発明の超音波口腔衛生器の斜視図、図２は図１の超音波口腔衛生器の側面断面図で、口腔衛生器本体７は超音波照射部分７ａと柄部分７ｂからなり、超音波照射部分７ａの内部に円筒型の超音波振動子８が装着され、又、柄部分７ｂの内部に発振器９及び電源１０が装着され、さらに、柄部分７ｂに発振器９の出力をオン、オフするスイッチ１１が装着されている。   FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the ultrasonic oral hygiene device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the ultrasonic oral hygiene device of FIG. 1, and the oral hygiene device main body 7 includes an ultrasonic irradiation portion 7a and a handle portion 7b. A cylindrical ultrasonic transducer 8 is mounted inside the ultrasonic irradiation portion 7a, an oscillator 9 and a power source 10 are mounted inside the handle portion 7b, and the output of the oscillator 9 is turned on to the handle portion 7b. A switch 11 to be turned off is attached.

このように構成した本実施例の超音波口腔衛生器では、超音波振動子８に発振器９から発振出力が印加されると、円筒型の超音波振動子８の全周から超音波振動が発生するので、口腔衛生器本体７を回転したり、前後に移動することなく、超音波照射部分７ａが挿入されている口腔部分全体に超音波が照射され、口腔内の殺菌液との相乗効果で口腔内を洗浄することができる。   In the ultrasonic oral hygiene device of this embodiment configured as described above, when an oscillation output is applied to the ultrasonic vibrator 8 from the oscillator 9, ultrasonic vibration is generated from the entire circumference of the cylindrical ultrasonic vibrator 8. Therefore, without rotating the oral hygiene device main body 7 or moving back and forth, the whole oral cavity portion where the ultrasonic irradiation portion 7a is inserted is irradiated with ultrasonic waves, and the synergistic effect with the bactericidal solution in the oral cavity is achieved. The mouth can be cleaned.

図３は円筒型の超音波振動子の３つの超音波振を発生するブロック図で、超音波振動子８は径（ｄ）方向振動、厚み（ｔ）方向振動及び長さ（Ｌ）方向振動の超音波を発生することができるので、このために、発振器９は、超音波振動子５の径方向振動を発生する周波数の出力を超音波振動子８に印加する第１の発振器９ａと、超音波振動子８の厚み方向振動を発生する周波数の出力を超音波振動子５に印加する第２の発振器９ｂと、超音波振動子８の長さ方向振動を発生する周波数の出力を超音波振動子５に印加する第３の発振器９ｃからなり、第１、第２、第３の発振器９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃの出力は切り替え回路１２を介して順次超音波振動子５に印加される。   FIG. 3 is a block diagram for generating three ultrasonic vibrations of a cylindrical ultrasonic vibrator. The ultrasonic vibrator 8 has a radial (d) direction vibration, a thickness (t) direction vibration, and a length (L) direction vibration. Therefore, for this purpose, the oscillator 9 applies a first oscillator 9a that applies an output of a frequency that generates radial vibration of the ultrasonic transducer 5 to the ultrasonic transducer 8, and A second oscillator 9b that applies an output of a frequency that generates vibration in the thickness direction of the ultrasonic vibrator 8 to the ultrasonic vibrator 5, and an output of a frequency that generates vibration in the length direction of the ultrasonic vibrator 8 are ultrasonic waves. The third oscillator 9 c is applied to the transducer 5, and the outputs of the first, second, and third oscillators 9 a, 9 b, 9 c are sequentially applied to the ultrasonic transducer 5 via the switching circuit 12.

このように構成した本実施例の超音波口腔衛生器では、第１、第２、第３の発振器９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃからの発振出力を切り替え回路１２で順次切り替えて超音波振動子８に印加することにより、超音波振動子８から径方向振動、厚み方向振動及び長さ方向振動が発生するので、歯垢の除去及び歯の周囲の組織のマッサージ効果がその組織の位置の深さ方向を変化させることができ、さらに、発振器９の第１、第２、第３の発振器９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃから超音波振動子８が径振動、厚み振動及び長さ振動を発生するように発振出力を印加することにより、周波数切り替え時の突入電力が発生するため、単一周波数に比べて低い駆動電力で超音波振動子５を駆動することができる。   In the ultrasonic oral hygiene device of this embodiment configured as described above, the oscillation outputs from the first, second, and third oscillators 9a, 9b, and 9c are sequentially switched by the switching circuit 12 and applied to the ultrasonic transducer 8. As a result, radial vibration, thickness direction vibration, and length direction vibration are generated from the ultrasonic vibrator 8, so that the plaque removal and the massaging effect of the tissue around the teeth change the depth direction of the tissue position. Furthermore, the oscillation output is generated so that the ultrasonic vibrator 8 generates radial vibration, thickness vibration and length vibration from the first, second and third oscillators 9a, 9b and 9c of the oscillator 9. By applying, inrush power at the time of frequency switching is generated, so that the ultrasonic transducer 5 can be driven with lower driving power than a single frequency.

なお、上記実施例では、超音波照射部分７ａの周囲に歯ブラシのブラシを装着することにより、ブラッシングとともに超音波を照射して、より衛生効果を得ることができる。   In addition, in the said Example, by mounting | wearing the toothbrush brush around the ultrasonic irradiation part 7a, an ultrasonic wave can be irradiated with brushing and the sanitary effect can be acquired more.
