In addition, the pump device 600 may be directly connected to a water pipe and used directly without filling.

After connecting the supply pipe 400 to the pump device 600 through the adapter 411, the power of the pump device 600 is turned on.

Thereafter, when water is pumped by adjusting the water temperature and water pressure, the water is pumped through the hose 410.

Water is discharged into the first filter 210 through the pressure pipe 530, and the discharged water hits the other end of the first filter 210 and flows back to the inlet 212 through the adsorption grains 211. .

In this process, foreign substances contained in the water are adsorbed by the adsorption grains 211 to be first purified.

Thereafter, the washing water (water) flowing back through the inlet 212 is discharged through the backflow hole 310 of the connection cap 300, and the discharged washing water is the first body 110 and the first filter 210 It is pushed toward the second body 120 along the gap formed therebetween.

Thereafter, the washing water is introduced through the inlet hole 221c of the second filter 220, is secondarily purified through fine pores, and then is discharged through the discharge hole 221d of the second filter 220.

Thereafter, the washing water is sprayed to the outside of the head part 500 through the spray nozzle 530 through the water outlet passage 510 of the head part 500.

Since the washing water is pressurized into the oral cavity, such as between teeth, foreign substances can be effectively removed to every corner of the oral cavity.

In addition, since the oral cavity may be irritated by the water pressure of the washing water, a massage effect can be expected separately from tooth cleaning.

Since the washing water is water purified through the second phase as described above, the cleaning efficiency in the oral cavity can be maximized.

In addition, it is possible to improve oral health by stimulating the oral cavity such as gums using the massage hair 540 formed on the opposite side of the head part 500.

In addition, the massage hair 540 is formed on one side and the other side of the head part 500, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

In addition, the massage hair 540 may be formed on the side of the head part 500.

At this time, the massage head 540 formed on the side of the bristles 520 is preferably arranged to divide the bristles 520 in the up and down directions.

The massage head 540 is formed to provide a larger body area than the bristle head 520 so as to increase the stimulation efficiency by increasing the contact area with the oral cavity.

That is, when the shape of the bristle head 520 is a cylindrical shape, the massage head 540 is provided in a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

In this way, since the massage head 540 is formed together with the bristle head 520, the massage head 540 prevents the bristle head 520 from being excessively bent when brushing, thereby extending the life of the bristle head 520, and at the same time as brushing the gums. Since the massage is performed, oral cleaning and health care efficiency can be improved with only one toothbrush.

As described so far, the toothbrush for both oral irrigator and water purifier according to the present invention cleans the oral cavity through water spray using water pressure, and can further enhance the oral cleaning effect by purifying water.

In addition, since oral care efficiency can be increased by stimulating the oral cavity using a massage pad, various oral care efficiency can be improved with a single toothbrush.

In the above, the present invention has been described in detail with respect to the described embodiments, but it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, and it is natural that such modifications and modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
