The product concept of water flossers was developed by the American company Waterpik. The structure with a plunger pump as the core has been imitated by numerous manufacturers worldwide. Due to the mechanical principle of the plunger pump, this structure has the following drawbacks:
- Large volume, difficult to miniaturize.
- Low water output frequency, poor user experience, and significant harm to the gums (the water output frequency of a spherical pump can be adjusted between 3000 - 20000 times, providing a comfortable user experience, good plaque cleaning effect, and beneficial for gum protection).
- Many parts, relying on intake/discharge valves, with poor reliability.
- Dozens of parts in a plunger pump vs three key parts in a spherical pump.
- High vibration and noise, affecting the user experience.
- According to the data of a domestic brand, the complaint rate due to noise is as high as 17%, and the return rate is 21%.
- Being attributed to the Waterpik company, there is a risk of infringement.
The spherical power positions itself as a supplier of the key component - the power core - of water flosser products.
I. Core Principle:
The water flosser pump (the core component of the oral irrigator) converts water flow into a pulsed or continuous thin stream, using the principles of fluid mechanics to clean the interdental spaces and gum lines.
II. Main Functions:
1. Deep Cleaning: Precisely remove debris from interdental spaces, gingival sulci, and around dental braces, and remove dental plaque.
2. Gum Massage: The pulsed water column massages the gums, promoting blood circulation.
3. Auxiliary Care: Suitable for the care of patients with periodontitis, orthodontics, and after dental implants, reducing the risk of infection.
III. Product Features:
1. Adjustable impact force;
2. Portability;
3. Intelligent control;
4. Low - noise design.
IV. Application Scenarios:
1. Daily home care;
2. Medical scenarios;
3. Special groups (orthodontic patients, diabetic patients);
4. Use during travel.
V. Technical Advantages:
1. High - efficiency water pump;
2. Water - saving design;
3. Safety protection;
4. Material innovation;
5. Compact size.
VI. Market Value:
1. High - value - added products;
2. Replace traditional devices.
VII. Product Performance:
1. Pulsed water flow for deep cleaning of interdental spaces;
2. High - frequency pulse technology for efficient removal of dental plaque;
3. Low - noise design for quiet operation without disturbance;
4. Compact size, light weight, and simple structure.
VIII. Application Advantages:
1. Efficient Cleaning: The pulsed water flow penetrates deep into interdental spaces and gum lines, removing food debris and dental plaque that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush, and the cleaning effect is better than traditional dental floss.
2. Gum Health Care: The gentle pulsed water flow massages the gums, promotes blood circulation, reduces gum bleeding, and prevents gum recession.
3. Multi - functional Use: Suitable for orthodontic braces, dental implants, and patients with periodontal diseases, reducing the risk of oral inflammation and assisting professional care.
4. Comfort and Safety: Multiple pressure adjustments (gentle/standard/powerful) to adapt to different oral sensitivities and avoid irritating the gums.
5. Convenient and Easy to Use: Portable design (rechargeable/USB - C) can be used at home or during travel, and the operation is simple and suitable for all ages.
