About Aquaclean Aparatong Pang-Oral Care

Ang Aquaclean ay isang aparatong pang-oral care na pinagsasama ang mga function ng toothbrush, water flosser, at mouthwash sa isang unit. Ang built-in hydrogen peroxide generator nito ay nagpapapalit ng tubig sa isang antibacterial solution para sa paglilinis. Ang titanium nozzle nito ay may tatlong mode: focused stream, wide spray, at 360 degree jet. Dalawang slider ang kumokontrol sa aparato, isa para sa power at water pressure, at isa para sa cleaning mode. Pinupuno ng tubig ang tangke na matatagpuan sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan ng device. Ang compact at rechargeable na disenyo nito ay nilalayong makabawas sa basura mula sa mga disposable na produktong pang-oral care.

Production Technology
For the production and realization of Aquaclean, we focused on using durable, lightweight materials like titanium for the nozzle and high-grade, glossy plastic for the body. The hydrogen peroxide generator, water pump, and interlocking chain mechanism were integrated using precision engineering. We utilized CAD software for design prototyping and 3D printing to validate form and ergonomics. The device was developed with modular components for easy assembly, ensuring efficiency and scalability in manufacturing.
Design Challenge
The hardest part of Aquaclean’s design was balancing advanced technology with user friendliness while minimizing environmental impact. Internally, we faced challenges in designing a hydrogen peroxide generator that was safe for children and adults alike, ensuring it was intuitive to use. Externally, laws on medical grade devices, sustainable materials, and production scalability influenced our choices. We overcame these by extensive testing, feedback from dental professionals, and iterative design adjustments.
Research
In developing AquaClean, we conducted research with dentists and healthcare professionals to address oral care challenges, focusing on plastic waste from disposable products like toothbrushes and mouthwash bottles. AquaClean has the potential to replace all three procedures: brushing, flossing, and rinsing, using a hydrogen peroxide generator, eliminating bottled mouthwash. Its durable titanium nozzle extends lifespan, while the dual-slider design allows customizable water pressure for simplified operation, particularly for children.
Inspiration
The inspiration for Aquaclean arose from the desire to simplify oral hygiene by reducing reliance on multiple products like toothbrushes, water flossers, and mouthwash. The key technology, the hydrogen peroxide generator, efficiently converts water into a potent cleaning solution, offering an effective, eco-friendly way to clean the mouth. This hydrogen peroxide generator is the cornerstone of our technology, prompting the question: could we one day rely solely on water-based solutions for full oral care, eliminating the need for traditional tools like toothbrushes and mouthwash?
Project Duration
2024.2 - present. Beijing, Huzhou, China & london, UK.
Operation Flow
Aquaclean features two sliders for user control: one adjusts the power and water pressure, allowing for customized intensity, while the second slider switches between the three cleaning modes: focused stream, wide spray, and 360 degree jet. Users fill the bottom water tank, and the hydrogen peroxide generator activates, providing a safe, antibacterial solution. This dual-slider system enables a personalized cleaning experience, enhancing effectiveness and making AquaClean a superior, versatile oral care tool.
