Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a drive unit for generating an oscillating motion for a small electrical appliance. Furthermore, the invention relates to a small electrical appliance with such a drive unit. Background technique
[0002] Electric drive units for generating an oscillating movement are used, for example, in electric toothbrushes or electric shavers. For example from US 5,263,218 an electric toothbrush is known in particular with a pivotable lever arm, wherein the pivotable lever arm is arranged to oscillate by means of a fixed electromagnet and a fixed permanent magnet, on which the brush is arranged . The lever arm is therefore formed in a region adjacent to the electromagnet from a ferromagnetic material which partially surrounds the permanent magnet. The ferromagnetic material is used to couple the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet to the electromagnet and thus drive the lever arm.
