Abstract

Disclosed is a teeth cleaning apparatus, including a first liquid reservoir, a teeth cleaner, a connector, and a liquid conveyer. The teeth cleaner includes a teeth cleaner body and a second liquid reservoir that is fixedly connected to the teeth cleaner body and transmits a teeth cleaning liquid to the teeth cleaner body during teeth cleaning. The connector is separable from the teeth cleaner, and the liquid conveyer transmits the teeth cleaning liquid in the first liquid reservoir to the second liquid reservoir when the teeth cleaner is connected on the connector.

7. The teeth cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid conveyer is a liquid pump, one end of the liquid pump is in communication with the first liquid reservoir, and the other end of the liquid pump is in communication with the liquid feeding nozzle.

8. The teeth cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid conveyer is a gas booster pump, the gas booster pump is disposed in the first liquid reservoir, and transmits the teeth cleaning liquid to the liquid feeding nozzle by boosting air in the first liquid reservoir.

9. The teeth cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second liquid reservoir is further provided with an air inlet, so that air flows in when the second liquid reservoir transmits the teeth cleaning liquid to the teeth cleaner body.

10. The teeth cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a rechargeable battery is disposed in the teeth cleaner body; a charging terminal electrically connected to a power supply is disposed at a bottom portion of the connecting seat; and when the teeth cleaner is placed on the connecting seat, the charging terminal is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery to charge the rechargeable battery.

11. The teeth cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second liquid reservoir is further provided with an exhaust structure at an upper portion thereof; and

the exhaust structure comprises an exhaust passage provided with an exhaust hole, a slide bar slidably disposed in the exhaust passage, a plug head fixedly connected at one end of the slide bar and used for blocking the exhaust hole, and an elastic piece for driving the plug head to block the exhaust hole; the teeth cleaning liquid is injected to the second liquid reservoir, so that an air pressure in the second liquid reservoir rises to drive the plug head to overcome an elastic force of the elastic piece and move away from the exhaust hole, and thus an interior of the second liquid reservoir is in communication with an atmosphere.

12. The teeth cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second liquid reservoir is further provided with an exhaust structure at an upper portion thereof; the connector is further provided with a sidewall, and the sidewall is further provided with an exhaust driving structure; and when the teeth cleaner is placed on the connecting seat, the exhaust driving structure on the sidewall of the connector drives the exhaust structure to be opened, so that an interior of the second liquid reservoir is in communication with an atmosphere.

13. The teeth cleaning apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the exhaust structure includes an exhaust passage provided with an exhaust hole, a slide bar slidably disposed in the exhaust passage, a first magnetic element fixedly connected at one end of the slide bar and used for blocking the exhaust hole, and an elastic piece for driving the first magnetic element to block the exhaust hole; the exhaust driving structure includes a second magnetic element provided on the sidewall of the connector; and when the teeth cleaner is placed on the connecting seat, the second magnetic element drives the approaching first magnetic element to overcome an elastic force of the elastic piece and move away from the exhaust hole, so that the interior of the second liquid reservoir is in communication with the atmosphere.
