Diaphragm piston

Introduce

The diaphragm piston is an important sealing element that is often used inside flossers. A dental flosser is a common sanitary appliance used to clean teeth. The diaphragm piston plays the role of sealing between the water tank of the dental flosser and the flushing valve to ensure normal flushing function. Below are some details about the diaphragm piston.

Technical data

Function

The main function of the diaphragm piston is to realize the seal between the water tank of the dental flosser and the flushing valve, to ensure that no water leakage occurs when the flushing function is used. When the flushing button is pressed, the water in the water tank enters the piston chamber through the opening of the diaphragm, and the piston is pushed down by the action of pressure, so that the water in the water tank flows out from the flushing valve to complete the flushing task. The piston then returns to Its original position and the diaphragm reseals, preventing water from leaking out of the tank.

Sealing performance

The sealing performance of the diaphragm piston is critical to the flushing function. High-quality seals can ensure that the water in the water tank will not leak during the flushing process and will not affect the normal use of the dental flosser, maintaining the stability and efficiency of flushing. The design and material selection of seals need to undergo rigorous testing and verification to ensure that they can maintain good sealing performance under different pressure and temperature conditions.

Advantage

• Excellent sealing performance: the diaphragm piston can effectively seal the connection between the water tank and the flushing valve to prevent water leakage and ensure the stability and efficiency of the flushing process.
• Good corrosion resistance: Diaphragm pistons are often made of corrosion-resistant rubber materials, which can resist the erosion of chemical substances, such as chemicals and detergents in water. This ensures the stability and reliability of the seal under different environmental conditions.
• Easy to maintain and replace: It usually has a long service life, but it may wear or deteriorate over time and long-term use. When maintenance or replacement is required, it can typically be easily disassembled and installed, which is convenient for users to carry out maintenance and replacement work.
• Water saving and environmental protection: Its design and working principle make the flushing process more efficient, which can reduce water usage and achieve water saving effect. This is very important in an increasingly environmentally conscious society and helps reduce water waste.

Precautions

• Check the condition of the seals regularly for signs of wear, aging, or damage. It is generally recommended to conduct an inspection every six months or a year, and select the appropriate inspection frequency according to the specific usage and the material of the seal.
• Keep the diaphragm piston clean to avoid the accumulation of dirt and bacteria. You can use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean the surface of the seal. Be careful not to use cleaners containing acidic or corrosive ingredients to avoid damage to the seal.
• Avoid exposing it to excessive heat, strong acids, bases, or other chemicals that may damage the seal. At the same time, avoid heavy objects hitting the seals to avoid damage.
• When the seal is found to be damaged or invalid, replace it in time. According to the specific model and specification, select the appropriate seal for replacement. During the replacement process, pay attention to the correct installation to ensure that the seal fits well with The relevant parts to avoid leakage or other problems.

Diaphragm pistons play an important role in medical sanitary ware, and their quality and performance are directly related to the flushing effect and service life. Therefore, when purchasing and using a dental irrigator, we should choose a high-quality dental irrigator diaphragm to ensure the normal operation and durable use of medical and health equipment.
