Description

Mouthpiece type oral irrigation device {MOUTHPIECE TYPE ORAL CAVITY CLEANSING APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a mouthpiece-type oral cleaning device, and more particularly, to a cleaning bubble generated by ultrasonic vibration, which can effectively clean foreign substances between the surface of teeth or between the gums, and has a UV sterilization function and a whitening function that can be used in parallel. It relates to a mouthpiece-type oral irrigation device that can be used.

In general, a toothbrush is used for cleaning the surface of teeth or foreign substances between teeth by rubbing the bristles with the teeth when brushing teeth. A conventional toothbrush has a rod-shaped handle and a structure in which a plurality of bristles are implanted upright at the end of the handle.

However, in the conventional toothbrush, the bristles are disposed on only one side of the handle, so that only one side of the upper or lower teeth can be washed, and only one side of the pressurized surface (upper or lower surface) or the side of the tooth can be cleaned for each tooth. However, there was a problem that the brushing time was prolonged because it was not possible to wash the upper and lower teeth at the same time or to wash the pressurized surface and the side of the teeth at the same time.

In addition, since the bristles made of a stiff material are bundled and mounted in a plurality of tuft grooves formed in the handle, there is a problem in that oral pain occurs during brushing due to friction with the bristles when there is a wound in the oral cavity or the gums are weak. Recently, there have been attempts to reduce pain by using fine bristles, but as the bristles of the bristles become thinner, the tips of the bristles become sharp. There was a problem that the cleaning power was lowered.

The objects, features and advantages of the present invention described above will become more apparent through the following detailed description. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

The mouthpiece-type oral cleaning device 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention can clean the upper and lower teeth at the same time, and can clean the surface of teeth or foreign substances between the gums with the cleaning foam generated by ultrasonic vibration. As a washing device that can minimize pain or irritation, and can use UV sterilization and whitening functions in parallel with a washing function, as shown in FIGS. ), a plurality of UV LEDs 130 , a plurality of blue LEDs 140 and a control unit 150 .

First, the main body 110 is a member for forming an outer shape, and is made in a U-shape and has an inner wall 112 extending up and down on the inner side with a horizontally arranged bottom plate 111 as a center, and the outer side portion As an outer wall 113 extending vertically is formed in the upper part of the bottom plate part 111, an upper tooth insertion groove 114 opened upward to insert the upper teeth is formed, and a lower part of the bottom plate part 111 is formed with a lower part of the bottom plate part 111. A lower tooth insertion groove 115 opened downward for insertion is formed. Here, the main body 110 is made of a soft and elastic material such as silicone, rubber, or urethane so as not to cause pain during use.

A plurality of the ultrasonic vibrator 120 is spaced apart along the bottom plate portion 111 to generate fine vibration. Here, although it is illustrated in the drawings as being provided only with a plurality of ultrasonic vibrators 120, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a vibration transmitting member (not shown) extending along the bottom plate portion 111 and having a hardness capable of transmitting vibration is provided. and a plurality of ultrasonic vibrators 120 are mounted to the vibration transmission member to be spaced apart from each other so that the bottom plate part 111 may vibrate as a whole. In addition, the ultrasonic vibrator 120 may be respectively disposed on the upper and lower portions of the bottom plate portion 111 as a center.

Therefore, the upper teeth are inserted into the upper teeth insertion grooves 114 and the lower teeth are inserted into the upper teeth insertion grooves 114 and lower teeth as shown in FIG. When the ultrasonic vibrator 120 is operated while the body part 110 is put in the mouth so that the bowl is inserted into the insertion groove 115, cleaning bubbles are generated by ultrasonic vibration in each insertion groove 114 and 115, and a bubble effect and vibration effect are generated. This makes it easy to clean the surface of the teeth or between the gums, so that the upper and lower teeth can be cleaned at the same time, and pain or irritation can be minimized.

It is disposed at a position corresponding to 160 and includes a wireless charging unit 185 for charging the battery module 160 seated in any one of a magnetic induction method, a magnetic resonance method, and an electromagnetic wave method.

Accordingly, the user's convenience can be maximized by charging the battery module 160 and sterilizing the accommodated main body 110 while storing the mouthpiece-type oral irrigation device 100 .

Here, when the body part 110 is seated on the container part 181 , the UV sterilizing light irradiated downward from the upper part may be irradiated to the upper surface and the side surface of the main body part 110 , but the bottom surface of the container part 181 . Since the UV sterilizing light is not irradiated to the bottom of the main body 110 in close contact with the , the sterilization effect by the UV sterilizing light may be reduced.

Accordingly, the sterilization LED 183 is disposed on the cover part 182 or the upper part of the container part 181 to irradiate UV sterilization light downward, and the reflective member 184 is also disposed on the bottom surface of the inner space and is irradiated downward. UV sterilization light can be reflected upwards.

In addition, the charging case 180 is disposed in the lower part of the inner space, the main body part 110 is seated on the upper part, and the main body part 110 seated on the upper part having a predetermined vertical thickness is removed from the bottom surface of the internal space. It further includes a light transmitting member 186 spaced apart and made of a material through which the UV sterilizing light is transmitted so that the UV sterilizing light upwardly reflected from the reflective member 184 of the bottom surface is irradiated to the bottom of the body part 110 on which it is seated. do. Therefore, it is possible to maximize the sterilization effect by UV sterilization light by irradiating UV sterilizing light not only on the upper and side portions of the main body 110 , but also on the bottom surface on which it is seated.

In addition, although not shown, a scattering pattern for scattering the UV sterilizing light irradiated downward is formed on the bottom surface of the container unit 181 to scatter the UV sterilizing light reflected from the reflective member 184 disposed on the bottom surface, A scattering pattern may be formed on the surface or inside of the light transmitting member 186 to scatter the transmitted UV sterilizing light and then to be reflected by the reflecting member 184 disposed on the bottom surface. Such a scattering pattern may be formed in various shapes, such as a shape in which the concave-convex structure protruding up and down is repeated, a shape in which a plurality of grooves recessed downward in a plane are formed, and the like. Through this scattering function, the direct UV sterilization light can be diffused over a wider range, thereby increasing the amount of UV sterilizing light irradiated to the bottom of the main body 110 .

The present invention described above is not limited by the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and it is common in the art to which the present invention pertains that various substitutions, modifications and changes are possible within the scope without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear to those who have knowledge.
