DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to FIG. 1, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a teeth washer structure 100 including a guiding tube 10 and an ejecting tube 20 is provided, wherein the interior of the guiding tube 10 is formed with a first flow channel 31 allowing a water flow to pass, and the portion of the first flow channel 31 defined in an engage part 13 of the guiding tube 10 is formed with a gradually-shrinking structure with the diameter being gradually reduced towards the ejecting tube 20.

As shown in FIG. 1, the guiding tube 10 of the teeth washer structure 100 includes a connection part 11, a tube body 12 and the above-mentioned engage part 13. The connection part 11 is formed at one side of the tube body 12, a surface of the connection part 11 is formed with a thread 111, and the engage part 13 is formed at another side of the tube body 12.

As shown in FIG. 1, the interior of the guiding tube 10 is formed with the above-mentioned first flow channel 31, and the portion of the first flow channel 31 defined in the engage part 13 is formed with the above-mentioned gradually-shrinking structure. In addition, the appearance of the guiding tube 10 is formed as a hollow rectangular member or a columnar member.

The thread 111 formed on the surface of the connection part 11 can be a thread 111 with 0.5 inch in diameter, thereby being able to be directly connected to a water tube of a conventional shower head; accordingly, the teeth washer structure 100 of the present invention is able to be used in any place where the shower head is suitable to be installed.

The material of which the guiding tube 10 can be plastic, metal, alloy, silicon or a mixed material, what shall be addressed is that any material having properties of light in weight, strong in structure and not releasing any toxic substance can all be adopted. If a lower cost shall be considered, a polymer material which has already been commonly used in the prior art can also be adopted.

Referring from FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the interior of the guiding tube 10 is formed in a hollow status, and the above-mentioned first flow channel 31 allowing a water flow to pass is formed therein. The portion of the first flow channel 31 defined in the engage part 13 is formed with the above-mentioned gradually-shrinking structure, for example a conical structure. In other words, the diameter of the first flow channel 31 having the gradually-shrinking structure is gradually reduced from the location where the tube body 12 engaged with the engage part 13 and along the engage part 13 and towards the ejecting tube 20.

As such, a water flow 50 passing the guiding tube 10 is able to be pressurized by the engage part 13 and the first flow channel 31 formed therein, so that a pressurizing device is not required to be additionally installed for the purpose of pressurization and for forming a strong water jet, thus the teeth washer structure of the present invention is more convenient in use and easy to be replaced when being applied in a daily life or a dental application.

As shown from FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the ejecting tube 20 includes a water inlet part 21 and an ejecting nozzle 22. The water inlet part 12 is connected to and communicated with the engage part 13 in a watertight manner, and the ejecting nozzle 22 is disposed at another end. The above-mentioned end where the ejecting nozzle 22 is disposed on the ejecting tube 20 is formed with a bendable structure, so that teeth at different locations can be washed by utilizing a strong water jet. What shall be addressed is that the bendable angle range and the curvature of the bendable structure is not specified as long as the purpose of bending can be achieved.

The material of which the ejecting tube 20 can be plastic, metal, alloy, silicon or a mixed material, what shall be addressed is that any material having properties of light in weight, strong in structure and not releasing any toxic substance can all be adopted. If a lower cost shall be considered, a polymer material which has already been commonly used in the prior art can also be adopted.

The guiding tube 10 and the ejecting tube 20 of the teeth washer structure 100 provided by the present invention can be integrally formed. In addition, the guiding tube 10 and the ejecting tube 20 can be combined by utilizing a thread set, or the guiding tube 10 and the ejecting tube 20 can be combined with a buckle means, or the guiding tube 10 and the ejecting tube 20 can be combined by utilizing at least one screw.

Referring from FIG. 4A to FIG. 6B, the teeth washer structure 100 further includes a water switch 60 for controlling the water amount passing the first flow channel 31 and a second flow channel 32 and ejected from the ejecting nozzle 22.

As shown from FIG. 4A to FIG. 6B, the water switch 60 can be controlled by a user for altering the diameter of the first flow channel 31 which allows the water flow to pass, and the water amount passing the first flow channel 31 and the second flow channel 32 and ejected from the ejecting nozzle 22 can be controlled. The water amount can be controlled from zero water amount with the first flow channel 31 being closed to a maximum water amount with the first flow channel 31 being fully opened.

Based on what has been disclosed above, no matter what material and formation means are adopted, the teeth washer structure 100 is provided with advantages of small in volume, light in weight, simple in production, low in cost, easy to be carried around and convenient in operation; moreover, the teeth washer structure 100 can be connected to the water tube of the conventional shower head at any desired time and location; furthermore, with the first flow channel 31 being formed as the gradually-shrinking structure and used for pressurizing the water flow, an additional pressurizing device is not required for forming a strong water jet, so that the teeth washer structure of the present invention is more convenient in use and easy to be replaced when being applied in a daily life or a dental application.
