   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mouth part 12 includes a hollow part 14 having grooves 13 formed on upper and lower parts in the direction of arranging teeth, and having a hollow part 14 supplied with a solution for washing therein. (15), a plurality of injection holes 16 are formed in the inner side and the lower surface of the groove of the main body 15 in communication with the hollow portion 14 for spraying the washing water. Herein, the mouth part 12 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may have any shape as long as it can spray the high-pressure cleaning solution or the fern solution and the disinfection solution on the teeth 300.

The sterilization unit 60 is installed inside the groove 13 and includes an ultraviolet lamp 61 that receives power from the power supply unit 80 and emits light according to the operation of the switch 19 of the handle 18. Here, the sterilization unit is not limited to an ultraviolet lamp, and any structure can be used as long as it can sterilize the oral cavity.

In the above, the pumping part 40 is installed in the main body part 30 and is installed on the connection pipe 21 and driven by a motor not shown in the drawing, and the pump 41 is injected from the pump 41. Pressure regulator 42 for properly adjusting the pressure of the solution, branch pipes 43 to 45 connected to the suction port of the pump 41 and inserted into the respective reservoirs 31 to 33, and the branch pipes And valves 46 to 48 respectively installed to selectively supply and shut off the cleaning solution, the disinfecting solution, and the fern solution to the pump 41. Here, the valves 46 to 48 preferably use a valve having an electromagnetic valve, and the pressure regulating unit 42 may include a valve for adjusting the discharge amount.

In addition, the discharge unit 70 is installed in the interior of the mouth portion 12 as shown in Fig. 1 and 2 and the "U" shaped absorption tube 72 formed with a plurality of absorption holes 71 on the outer peripheral surface and It is connected by the absorption tube 72 and the drain pipe 23 and is installed inside the main body portion 30 includes a drain pump 73 for sucking and discharging the solution in the oral cavity.

The heating unit 50 is for heating the washing water of the water supply pipe 22 introduced by the pump 41 to a predetermined temperature, the chamber 51 is installed on the connection pipe 21 and the interior thereof. It has a configuration in which a heating heater (not shown) is installed.

In addition, the power supply unit 60 is for supplying operating power to the sterilization unit 60, the pumping unit 40, the discharge unit 70, the rechargeable battery 81 and the charge and discharge capable of charging and discharging the input power (DC) Discharge system. Here, of course, each of the means can be directly driven by an external power source.

In addition, the switch 19 of the above-described washing unit 10 has at least four stage switch contacts to select hot water, washing water supply, drainage, and sterilization.

On the other hand, the oral cleaning device can be made portable by mounting the components installed in the body portion to the handle portion 18 as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the reservoir containing the cleaning solution, disinfecting solution, fern solution, etc. may be detachably installed. This detachment apparatus can be comprised using a normal hook.

  Referring to the operation of the oral cavity washing apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 and 4 and 5 as follows.

First, in order to sterilize and brush or sterilize the mouth using the oral cleaning device, the mouth part 12 of the ceramic material installed in the handle part 18 is buried in the mouth, as shown in FIG. 2. 13). In this state, by operating the switch 19 installed on the handle 18 of the washing unit 10 (step; S10) to select the solution supply mode (step; S11) in the rechargeable battery 81 of the power supply unit 80 Operation power is supplied to drive the pump 41 of the pumping unit 40 (step S12). At this time, if the user opens at least one of the valves 46 to 48 installed in the branch pipes 43 to 45 of the reservoirs 31 to 33 through the water supply supplied from the water supply pipe 22 and any one of the branch pipes. The pump 41 pumps the solution flowing from the reservoir at a high pressure. The high pressure disinfecting or washing solution or fern solution pumped by the pump 41 and the water of the water supply pipe 22 are adjusted to an appropriate pressure in the pressure adjusting unit 42 and then the mouth part 12 through the connecting pipe 21. ) Is supplied to the hollow portion 14 of, and is also supplied to the side and the bottom surface of the tooth 300 through the injection hole (step S13) to remove or disinfect or clean the foreign matter caught in the tooth (step; S14). ).

Thereafter, when the discharge mode is selected by operating the switch 19 of the handle 18 (step S15), the drain pump 73 of the discharge unit 70 is supplied with power from the rechargeable battery 81 of the power supply unit 80. It is driven by (step S16). When the drain pump 73 is driven, the washing water or the disinfecting solution or the fern solution sprayed through the injection hole 16 is absorbed into the absorption tube 72 through the absorption port 71 installed in the lower part of the mouth part 12 together with the foreign matter. After it is discharged through the drain pipe 23 (step S17). At this time, in order to heat the washing water supplied to the water supply pipe 22 and supply it to the mouth part 12, it is possible to operate the switch 19 of the handle part 18 described above and select the hot water mode (step S18). That is, when the hot water mode is selected, the chamber 51 of the heating unit 50 generates heat by the power supplied from the charger 81 of the power supply unit 80 to lukewarmly heat the washing water of the water supply pipe 22 (step; S19). The heated washing water is supplied to the aforementioned mouth part 12 again by driving the pump 41 to clean the oral cavity.

In addition, when the sterilization mode is selected by operating the switch 19 to sterilize the mouth after washing, disinfecting or brushing (step S20), the mouse unit 12 is powered by the power supplied from the charger 81 of the power supply unit 80. The ultraviolet lamp 61 provided inside the groove 13 of the () is emitted (step S21), and the mouth is sterilized by irradiating the oral cavity with ultraviolet rays (step S22).

On the other hand, as a comparative example, unlike conventional techniques, that is, when brushing with a conventional toothbrush or a powered toothbrush, a considerable amount of time and a place for brushing are limited, and foreign matters between the teeth are not removed, The present invention can brush and disinfect and clean the foreign body sandwiched between the interior of the mouth and teeth with high pressure washing water, fern solution and disinfectant solution, and also sterilize the oral cavity through sterilization means as well as limiting the use place. It can be seen that.

In addition, although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it is obvious that the present invention may be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art.                     

Such modified embodiments should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or the prospect of the present invention, and such modified embodiments should fall within the appended claims of the present invention.

As described above, the oral cleaning device according to the present invention is used to wash or brush or disinfect the mouth using a high-pressure solution, so as to reduce the damage to the teeth as much as possible, and can be used without disturbing the place of use. In particular, in the case of a portable can clean the mouth in a short time has a useful effect in dental care of busy office workers.
