BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an oral cleaning apparatus, and more particularly, to an oral cleaning apparatus having an improved structure for maintaining oral cleaning.

Plaquing of plaque has been known to be a major cause of progression of periodontal disease, which is indicative of inflammation and destruction of gingivitis and periodontal tissue. The basic method of mechanically removing such plaque is to perform brushing.

However, the effectiveness of such brushing may vary depending on how often the brushing is performed and how efficiently the toothbrush is used. In other words, it is important to maintain proper frequency and time every day and brushing in the right way. In conclusion, the efficiency of tooth removal is determined by the individual's brushing ability, the shape of the bristles, the frequency and duration of brushing.

Therefore, for effective oral care, users have to bear the burden of knowing and practicing the above. In fact, most users are brushing their brushes in less than the recommended time for brushing, and there is a problem that they are ignorant about the proper brushing method. Further, in order to increase brushing effect, the user has to select the shape, strength, size, and the like of the bristles suitable for him / herself. In particular, incorrect brushing can damage the soft gingiva.

[ As described above, when the oral insertion unit 110 is removably coupled to the ultrasonic generator 140, a plurality of users can use the oral insertion unit 110 only by replacing the oral insertion unit 110 with one ultrasonic generator 140, Convenience can be improved. The ultrasonic generator 140 may generate ultrasonic waves or ultrasonic waves according to a command from the controller 150. Since the oral care cleansing device 100 according to the present embodiment is not provided with a cleansing liquid supplying device separately, the user can operate the oral care cleansing device 100 while the cleansing liquid is put on the user. Of course, it is also possible for the oral care cleansing device 100 to separately include a cleaning liquid supply device.

The oral care cleanser 100 may further include a controller 150 connected to the ultrasonic generator 140 to control the operation of the ultrasonic generator 140.

The controller 150 can control on / off of the ultrasonic generator 140. In addition, the controller 150 may instruct the ultrasonic generator 140 to adjust the intensity of the ultrasonic waves. In addition, the controller 150 may instruct the ultrasonic generator 140 to adjust the intensity of the ultrasonic oscillation. In addition, the controller 150 may instruct the ultrasonic generator 140 to repeat the intensity of ultrasonic oscillation. In addition, the controller 150 may issue an ultrasonic oscillation continuation command to the ultrasonic generator 140. In addition, the controller 150 may instruct the ultrasonic generator 140 to operate according to the duration of the set ultrasonic wave or the set duration of the ultrasonic wave oscillation. Preferably, the ultrasonic generator 140 may use ultrasonic waves of 20 KHz to 50 KHz to prevent damage to the oral cavity structure.

The controller 150 may be powered by external power. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to drive the controller 150 using a battery.

In the foregoing, the mouth cleaning device (1,100) for maintaining the oral cavity cleanliness by using the ultrasonic wave or the ultrasonic wave oscillation has been described. The mouth cleaning device 1 may have portability (see FIG. 1). Alternatively, it is also possible to use the oral care cleansing device 100 in a state in which a part of the oral care cleansing device 100 is placed. As an example, the user can use the oral care cleansing device 100 by holding the ultrasonic generator 140 in a state in which the oral cavity inserting unit 110 is inserted into the mouth through the controller 150 (see FIG. 9) .

The foregoing has shown and described specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention described in the following claims .
