[0041] The following further describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The same or similar reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions.

[0042] In addition, the embodiments of the present application described below in conjunction with the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0043] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being “above” or “below” a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being “above”, “above”, and “above” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being “below”, “below”, and “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0044] See also Figure 1 The electric toothbrush assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes an electric toothbrush 10 and a storage rack 30, and the storage rack 30 cooperates with the electric toothbrush 10. Specifically, the storage rack 30 can be used to charge one or more electric toothbrushes 10; or the storage rack 30 is used to store one or more electric toothbrushes 10; or the storage rack 30 is used to store one or more electric toothbrushes 10 and charge one or more electric toothbrushes 10 at the same time. It should be pointed out that the "plurality" in the embodiment of the present application refers to two or more (hereinafter the same).

[0045] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The electric toothbrush 10 includes a toothbrush housing 11 , a handle 12 , a brush head 13 , an electric motor (not shown) and a toothbrush battery 14 .

[0046] The toothbrush housing 11 is a hollow structure, and is used to accommodate the components of the electric toothbrush 10, such as the toothbrush battery 14, the motor core, etc. The toothbrush housing 11 can provide waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof protection for the toothbrush battery 14, the motor core, and other components. In one example, the toothbrush housing 11 can be made of plastic and waterproof materials. On the one hand, the toothbrush housing 11 made of waterproof materials can prevent moisture from entering and corroding the toothbrush battery 14, the motor core, and other components; on the other hand, the cost of plastic materials is relatively low, such as PP (polypropylene), PA (polyamide), PC (polycarbonate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), PS (polystyrene), PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) or PET (polyethylene terephthalate), etc.

[0047] The handle 12 is in the shape of an elongated strip as a whole. The handle 12 includes a gripping portion 122 and a connecting portion 124. The gripping portion 122 is cylindrical, and is used for the user to grip when using the electric toothbrush 10. The connecting portion 124 is in the shape of a boss, and the radius of one end of the connecting portion 124 is greater than the radius of the other end of the connecting portion 124. The gripping portion 122 is connected to one end of the connecting portion 124. Among them, the gripping portion 122 and the connecting portion 124 are detachably connected, such as a threaded connection, so that the gripping portion 122 can be replaced separately when the gripping portion 122 is damaged. Of course, in other embodiments, the gripping portion 122 can also be fixedly connected to the connecting portion 124, or the gripping portion 122 and the connecting portion 124 can be integrally formed.

[0048] The brush head 13 is used to clean an object to be cleaned, such as teeth, etc. The brush head 13 includes a body 132 and bristles 134 formed on the body 132. The bristles 134 are evenly distributed in a middle area 1322 (such as Figure 4 ). The brush head 13 is connected to the handle 12, specifically, the body 132 is connected to the other end of the connecting portion 124. The body 132 and the connecting portion 124 are detachably connected, such as snap-fitting, so that the brush head 13 can be replaced separately when the brush head 13 is damaged. Of course, in other embodiments, the body 132 can also be fixedly connected to the connecting portion 124, or the body 132 and the connecting portion 124 can be integrally formed.

[0049] The motor core is arranged in the toothbrush housing 11. When the electric toothbrush 10 is working, the electric toothbrush 10 makes the brush head 13 generate high-frequency vibration through the rapid rotation or vibration of the motor core, instantly decomposing the toothpaste into fine foam, deeply cleaning the gaps between teeth, and at the same time, the vibration of the bristles 134 can promote blood circulation in the oral cavity and have a massage effect on the gum tissue.

[0050] The toothbrush battery 14 is used to power the brush head 13. The toothbrush battery 14 is a rechargeable battery, such as a lithium-ion battery, to store electrical energy and recycle it. The toothbrush battery 14 is disposed in the toothbrush housing 11, specifically at a position corresponding to the handle 12, where there is a large space inside the position to accommodate the toothbrush battery 14. The number of toothbrush batteries 14 may be one or more. When the number of toothbrush batteries 14 is multiple, the relationship between the multiple toothbrush batteries 14 is to be connected in series or in parallel with each other. Since the electric toothbrush 10 has a built-in toothbrush battery 14, when the user goes out (for example, on a business trip or traveling), he or she can only carry the electric toothbrush 10, and the power of the toothbrush battery 14 can sustain a short-term trip.

[0051] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The storage rack 30 includes a storage shell 31, a storage body 32, a mounting member 33 and a storage battery 34.

[0052] The storage shell 31 is a hollow structure, and the storage shell 31 is used to accommodate the storage battery 34. The storage shell 31 can provide waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof protection for the storage battery 34. In one example, the storage shell 31 can be made of plastic and waterproof materials. On the one hand, the storage shell 31 made of waterproof material can prevent moisture from entering and corroding the storage battery 34; on the other hand, the cost of plastic materials is relatively low, such as PP, PA, PC, PMMA, ABS, PS, PBT or PET.

[0053] The storage body 32 is in the shape of an elongated cylinder. Both ends of the storage body 32 extend outwards to form protrusions 322 .

[0054] The mounting member 33 is detachably connected to the storage body 32. Figure 6 The mounting member 33 is formed with a groove 332 for carrying the protrusion 322. The mounting member 33 carries the storage body 32 through the cooperation between the groove 332 and the protrusion 322.

[0055] The storage battery 34 is used to power the toothbrush battery 14. The storage battery 34 is a rechargeable battery, such as a lithium-ion battery, to store power and recycle it. The storage battery 34 is disposed in the storage housing 31, specifically at a position corresponding to the storage body 32, where there is a large space inside the position to accommodate the storage battery 34. The number of storage batteries 34 can be one or more, for example Figure 5In the embodiment, the number of storage batteries 34 is two. When the number of storage batteries 34 is multiple, the relationship between the multiple storage batteries 34 is that they are connected in series or in parallel. The capacity of the storage battery 34 (i.e., the power of the storage battery 34 when it is fully charged and not yet used) is greater than the capacity of the toothbrush battery 14 (i.e., the power of the toothbrush battery 14 when it is fully charged and not yet used). In other words, the capacity of the toothbrush battery 14 is slightly smaller, and the capacity of the storage battery 34 is slightly larger. Since the storage rack 30 has a built-in storage battery 34, when the user travels for a long time, he can carry the electric toothbrush 10 and the storage rack 30 at the same time. When the power of the toothbrush battery 14 is insufficient (for example, when the power of the toothbrush battery 14 is less than the toothbrush threshold power), the storage battery 34 charges the toothbrush battery 14; and when the power of the storage battery 34 is insufficient (for example, when the power of the storage battery 34 is less than the storage threshold power), the storage battery 34 can be charged by an external power supply. Among them, the external power supply can be 220V mains electricity, or a mobile power supply (such as a power bank), etc. The external power supply charges the storage battery 34 through the charging interface (such as a USB type-C charging interface) on the storage body 32. In addition, since the mounting member 33 and the storage body 32 are detachably connected, the storage body 32 can also be removed from the mounting member 33, that is, the electric toothbrush 10 and the storage body 32 are carried at the same time, and the storage battery 34 is used to charge the toothbrush battery 14. In addition, a charging circuit can also be provided at the position corresponding to the storage body 32 in the storage shell 31, and the storage body 32 is used as a mobile power supply (such as a power bank). The storage battery 34 charges the electronic device (such as a mobile phone, a camera) through the output interface, and the storage battery 34 itself is charged by wired or wireless mode. When the storage battery 34 is charged by wire, the output interface for charging the electronic device by the storage battery 34 and the charging interface of the storage battery 34 can share an interface, and the structure is relatively simple.

[0056] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the storage rack 30 is formed with one or more storage coupling parts 35, and the electric toothbrush 10 is formed with a toothbrush coupling part 15. Specifically, one or more storage coupling parts 35 are formed on the storage body 32, and the toothbrush coupling part 15 is formed on the handle 12. One or more storage coupling parts 35 are used to be combined with the toothbrush coupling parts 15 of one or more electric toothbrushes 10. That is to say, when there is one storage coupling part 35, one storage coupling part 35 is used to be combined with the toothbrush coupling part 15 of one electric toothbrush 10; when there are multiple storage coupling parts 35, multiple storage coupling parts 35 are used to be combined with the toothbrush coupling parts 15 of multiple electric toothbrushes 10.

[0057] When there are multiple storage joints 35, the storage rack 30 is used to store multiple electric toothbrushes 10 or charge multiple electric toothbrushes 10, so that multiple family members can use one storage rack 30 for storage and charging, which is conducive to saving installation space and cost of the storage rack 30. The multiple storage joints 35 are distributed along the length direction of the storage body 32, and each storage joint 35 extends in a direction perpendicular to the length direction.

[0058] See also Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the storage coupling portion 35 is formed by the storage shell 31 being recessed inwardly, and the toothbrush coupling portion 15 is formed by the toothbrush shell 11 being protruded outwardly. The storage coupling portion 35 and the toothbrush coupling portion 15 match in shape and fit each other. When there are multiple storage coupling portions 35, the storage shell 31 is recessed inwardly multiple times to form multiple storage coupling portions 35, and each toothbrush shell 11 protrudes outwardly to form a toothbrush coupling portion 15. It can be understood that when the electric toothbrush 10 is cylindrical, the toothbrush shell 11 protrudes outward as a whole, and at this time, any position or a pre-set position of the handle 12 can be used as the toothbrush coupling portion 15.

[0059] In another embodiment, the storage joint 35 is formed by the storage housing 31 protruding outward, and the toothbrush joint 15 is formed by the toothbrush housing 11 being recessed inward. The storage joint 35 and the toothbrush joint 15 match in shape and fit each other. When there are multiple storage joints 35, the storage housing 31 protrudes outward multiple times to form multiple storage joints 35, and each toothbrush housing 11 is recessed inward to form a toothbrush joint 15.

[0060] The combination of the storage joint 35 and the toothbrush joint 15 includes any one or more of snap fastening, interference fit fastening, hanging, and magnetic attraction. The embodiment of the present application takes the combination of the storage joint 35 and the toothbrush joint 15 as magnetic attraction as an example for explanation.

[0061] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, a storage magnet 36 is provided at a position corresponding to the storage coupling portion 35 in the storage housing 31, and the storage magnet 36 is used to adsorb the toothbrush coupling portion 15. At this time, the toothbrush coupling portion 15 can be made of metal material, so that the storage magnet 36 can adsorb the toothbrush coupling portion 15 to achieve the combination of the storage coupling portion 35 and the toothbrush coupling portion 15. The storage magnet 36 can also be set close to the storage housing 31 to improve the adsorption effect. The number of the storage magnets 36 can be one or more, for example Figure 7In the embodiment, there are two storage magnets 36, which are arranged in the storage housing 31 at positions corresponding to the storage coupling portion 35 along the first direction to stably adsorb the toothbrush coupling portion 15. The first direction is parallel to the length direction of the handle 12 when the electric toothbrush 10 is placed on the storage rack 30 (hereinafter the same).

[0062] See also Figure 2 and Figure 8 In another embodiment, a toothbrush magnet 16 is provided at a position corresponding to the toothbrush joint 15 in the toothbrush housing 11, and the toothbrush magnet 16 is used to adsorb the storage joint 35. At this time, the storage joint 35 can be made of metal material, so that the toothbrush magnet 16 can adsorb the storage joint 35 to achieve the combination of the storage joint 35 and the toothbrush joint 15. The toothbrush magnet 16 can also be set close to the toothbrush housing 11 to improve the adsorption effect. The number of toothbrush magnets 16 can be one or more, for example Figure 8 In the embodiment, the number of the toothbrush magnets 16 is two, and the two toothbrush magnets 16 are arranged in the toothbrush housing 11 at positions corresponding to the toothbrush coupling portion 15 along the first direction to stably adsorb and store the coupling portion 35 .

[0063] See also Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 In yet another embodiment, a storage magnet 36 is provided at a position corresponding to the storage joint 35 in the storage shell 31, and a toothbrush magnet 16 is provided at a position corresponding to the toothbrush joint 15 in the toothbrush shell 11, and the storage magnet 36 is used to adsorb to each other with the toothbrush magnet 16. The storage magnet 36 can also be arranged close to the storage shell 31, and the toothbrush magnet 16 can be arranged close to the toothbrush shell 11 to improve the adsorption effect. The number of storage magnets 36 can be the same as the number of toothbrush magnets 16, and the positions of the storage magnets 36 correspond to the positions of the toothbrush magnets 16, so that the storage joint 35 is firmly connected to the toothbrush joint 15. For example, when the number of storage magnets 36 is one, the number of toothbrush magnets 16 is also one; for another example, Fig. 9 In the embodiment, when the number of the storage magnets 36 is two, the number of the toothbrush magnets 16 is also two, and the two storage magnets 36 are arranged in the storage shell 31 along the first direction at the corresponding positions of the storage combination 35, and the two toothbrush magnets 16 are arranged in the toothbrush shell 11 along the first direction at the corresponding positions of the toothbrush combination 15; for another example, when the number of the storage magnets 36 is three, the number of the toothbrush magnets 16 is also three, and the three storage magnets 36 are arranged in the storage shell 31 along the first direction at the corresponding positions of the storage combination 35, and the three toothbrush magnets 16 are arranged in the toothbrush shell 11 along the first direction at the corresponding positions of the toothbrush combination 15.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the storage coupling part 35 is coupled to the toothbrush coupling part 15 by magnetic force, and when the electric toothbrush 10 is stored in the storage rack 30, the electric toothbrush 10 will not fall off the storage rack 30. In addition, when the electric toothbrush 10 is stored in the storage rack 30, the storage magnet 36 attracts the toothbrush coupling part 15 (such as Figure 7 as shown), or the toothbrush magnet 16 absorbs and receives the combination portion 35 (as shown Figure 8 As shown), or the storage magnet 36 and the toothbrush magnet 16 are attracted to each other (as shown Fig. 9 As shown), it is helpful to guide the electric toothbrush 10 to be stored in the storage rack 30 accurately under the action of magnetic force, ensuring that the storage joint 35 and the toothbrush joint 15 are just combined together.

[0065] The storage battery 34 can be used to charge the toothbrush battery 14 by wireless charging or wired charging.

[0066] See also Figures 7 to 9 In one embodiment, the storage battery 34 charges the toothbrush battery 14 by wireless charging (electromagnetic induction wireless charging or magnetic field resonance wireless charging). A storage wireless charging coil 37 is disposed at a position corresponding to the storage joint 35 in the storage housing 31, and a toothbrush wireless charging coil 17 is disposed at a position corresponding to the toothbrush joint 15 in the toothbrush housing 11. The storage battery 34 is used to wirelessly charge the toothbrush battery 14 through the interaction between the storage wireless charging coil 37 and the toothbrush wireless charging coil 17. Please refer to Fig. 9 When there are two storage magnets 36 and two toothbrush magnets 16, the storage wireless charging coil 37 is located between the two storage magnets 36, and the toothbrush wireless charging coil 17 is located between the two toothbrush magnets 16. The two storage magnets 36 are respectively adsorbed with the two toothbrush magnets 16 to ensure the stability of the position between the storage wireless charging coil 37 and the toothbrush wireless charging coil 17. The storage wireless charging coil 37 can be set close to the storage housing 31, and the toothbrush wireless charging coil 17 can be set close to the toothbrush housing 11. In this way, the distance between the storage wireless charging coil 37 and the toothbrush wireless charging coil 17 is close, and the wireless charging efficiency is high.

[0067] In another embodiment, the storage battery 34 charges the toothbrush battery 14 by wired charging. A storage charging contact (not shown) is provided at a position corresponding to the storage joint 35 in the storage shell 31, and a toothbrush charging contact (not shown) is provided at a position corresponding to the toothbrush joint 15 in the toothbrush shell 11. When the electric toothbrush 10 is stored on the storage rack 30, the storage charging contact is electrically connected to the toothbrush charging contact, and the storage battery 34 is used to charge the toothbrush battery 14 by wire through the electrical connection between the storage charging contact and the toothbrush charging contact. When the number of storage magnets 36 is two and the number of toothbrush magnets 16 is two, the storage charging contact is located between the two storage magnets 36, and the toothbrush charging contact is located between the two toothbrush magnets 16. The two storage magnets 36 are respectively adsorbed with the two toothbrush magnets 16 to ensure the stability of the combination between the storage charging contact and the toothbrush charging contact.

[0068] See also Figure 1 , Figures 10 to 12 The storage rack 30 is used to be placed on a horizontal surface (such as Figure 1 and Fig.10 as shown) or adsorbed on a vertical surface (as Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown). The horizontal plane refers to a horizontal surface such as a horizontal tabletop or a washstand for mounting the storage rack 30. The "horizontal" here can be completely horizontal or approximately horizontal. The vertical plane refers to a vertical surface such as a wall, a mirror, or a cabinet for mounting the storage rack 30. The "vertical" here can be completely vertical or approximately vertical. The storage rack 30 of the embodiment of the present application can be placed on a horizontal plane or adsorbed on a vertical plane, which is easy to install and has a wide range of applications.

[0069] Specifically, the storage rack 30 can be placed on a horizontal surface or adsorbed on a vertical surface through the mounting member 33 .

[0070] See also Figure 1 and Fig.10 When the storage rack 30 is placed on a horizontal surface, the mounting member 33 includes one or more brackets 334 that are smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, and the brackets 334 are used to support the storage body 32. Figure 1 and Fig.10 In the embodiment, the mounting member 33 includes two brackets 334, and the two brackets 334 are respectively connected to the two ends of the storage body 32. The height of the brackets 334 can be selected according to actual conditions. When the height of the brackets 334 is relatively high, for example, when the height of the brackets 334 is greater than the total length of the electric toothbrush 10, the electric toothbrush 10 can be hung upside down on the storage rack 30 along the direction from the handle 12 to the brush head 13 (such as Figure 1When the height of the bracket 334 is low, for example, when the height of the bracket 334 is less than the total length of the electric toothbrush 10, the electric toothbrush 10 can be placed on the storage rack 30 along the direction from the brush head 13 to the handle 12 (as shown); Fig.10 shown).

[0071] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 When the storage rack 30 is adsorbed on a vertical surface, the mounting member 33 includes one or more suction cups 336. Fig.11 and Fig.12 In the embodiment, there are two suction cups 336, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the storage body 32. The suction cups 336 can be connected to the storage body 32 at multiple orthogonal angles. The angle at which the suction cups 336 are adsorbed on the vertical surface is relatively flexible, which facilitates the installation of the storage rack 30. The height of the suction cups 336 can be set according to actual conditions. When the user wants to hang the electric toothbrush 10 upside down on the storage rack 30 along the direction from the handle 12 to the brush head 13 (such as Fig.11 ), the height of the suction cup 336 can be set higher, for example, the distance between the suction cup 336 and the horizontal plane is greater than the total length of the electric toothbrush 10; when the user wants to place the electric toothbrush 10 on the storage rack 30 along the direction from the brush head 13 to the handle 12 (as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown in the figure, the height of the suction cup 336 can be set lower, for example, the distance between the suction cup 336 and the horizontal plane is less than the total length of the electric toothbrush 10. In the embodiment of the present application, the storage rack 30 is adsorbed on the vertical plane by the suction cup 336, which is conducive to saving space, and the height of the suction cup 336 can be set according to actual conditions, so that the user can take the electric toothbrush 10 conveniently and use it easily.

[0072] For further information, see Figure 1 and Fig.11 When the electric toothbrush 10 is hung upside down on the storage rack 30 along the direction from the handle 12 to the brush head 13, the distance d1 between the end of the brush head 13 on the side opposite to the handle 12 and the horizontal plane can be greater than the first predetermined distance. At this time, the brush head 13 faces downward, and the water on the bristles 134 is easy to dry or drip off. There is a certain distance between the brush head 13 and the horizontal plane, and it will not contact the accumulated water on the horizontal plane; please refer to Fig.10 and Fig.12 When the electric toothbrush 10 is placed on the storage rack 30 along the direction from the brush head 13 to the handle 12, the distance d2 between the end of the handle 12 on the side opposite to the brush head 13 and the horizontal plane is greater than the second predetermined distance. At this time, the handle 12 is facing downward, and there is a certain distance between the handle 12 and the horizontal plane, and it will not contact the accumulated water on the horizontal plane, causing the end of the handle 12 on the side opposite to the brush head 13 to mold.

[0073] It should be noted that the first predetermined distance and the second predetermined distance may be equal or unequal. When the first predetermined distance and the second predetermined distance are unequal, the first predetermined distance may be greater than the second predetermined distance to provide a higher standard of waterproofing for the brush head 13.

[0074] See also Figure 1 , Figures 10 to 12 Regardless of whether the storage rack 30 is placed on a horizontal surface or adsorbed on a vertical surface, after the storage rack 30 is installed, the storage body 32 is horizontally arranged, and when the electric toothbrush 10 is stored in the storage rack 30, the electric toothbrush 10 is vertically arranged. In other words, the handle 12 of the electric toothbrush 10 is orthogonally attached to the storage body 32 to prevent the electric toothbrush 10 from falling off the storage rack 30.

[0075] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, on the one hand, the electric toothbrush 10 adopts a two-level charging method. When the toothbrush battery 14 is low on power, the storage battery 34 in the storage rack 30 can charge the toothbrush battery 14. When the storage battery 34 is low on power, the storage battery 34 can be directly charged by an external power supply. Charging is convenient, and the design of the storage rack 30 is relatively reasonable. On the other hand, the storage coupling portion 35 of the storage rack 30 is combined with the toothbrush coupling portion 15 of the electric toothbrush 10 through magnetic force, and the electric toothbrush 10 can be stably placed on the storage rack 30, and the design of the storage rack 30 is relatively reasonable.

[0076] When the user goes out (e.g., on a business trip or traveling), the user can only carry the electric toothbrush 10, and the power of the toothbrush battery 14 can sustain a short-term trip. When the user is traveling for a long time, the user can carry the electric toothbrush 10 and the storage rack 30 at the same time, and the storage battery 34 is used to charge the toothbrush battery 14; or the storage body 32 can be removed from the mounting member 33, and the electric toothbrush 10 and the storage body 32 can be carried at the same time, and the storage battery 34 is used to charge the toothbrush battery 14; or the storage body 32 can be removed from the mounting member 33, and only the storage body 32 can be carried, and the storage body 32 is used as a mobile power source (such as a power bank), and the storage battery 34 is used to power electronic devices (such as mobile phones and cameras).
