Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of personal cleaning and whitening appliances, in particular to a teeth whitening device and a use method and an assembly method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cold light whitening technology is a harmless teeth whitening technique. Its principle is to filter light through a filter, blocking harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays, to produce high-intensity cold light within a certain wavelength range. This cold light is then irradiated on a cold light whitening agent applied to the teeth to restore the teeth's natural luster and whiten them. However, the high-intensity cold light emitted by the light source generates a large amount of heat, which prevents the teeth whitening device from operating for extended periods, reduces whitening efficiency, and impacts the user experience. Furthermore, using a high-power light source to improve whitening efficiency generates even more heat, further impacting the device's performance. Furthermore, the relatively small size of the teeth whitening device itself results in a relatively limited space for installing the heat dissipation structure. Furthermore, the installation of the heat dissipation structure must meet the device's waterproof requirements. This imposes three requirements on the design and assembly of the heat dissipation structure: adaptability to confined spaces, waterproofing, and effective heat dissipation. The existing technology lacks an effective solution for these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a teeth whitening device and a method for using and assembling the same, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect of the teeth whitening device.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a teeth whitening device is designed, comprising a light source component, a heat-conducting component adjacent to the light source component, and a heat storage component adjacent to the heat-conducting component; wherein the rated current of the light source component is greater than or equal to 30 mA, one end of the heat-conducting component supports the light source component, and the other end of the heat-conducting component extends through the heat storage component.

[0005] Preferably, the heat conducting component comprises a contoured portion designed to imitate the light source component and a heat transfer portion, the contoured portion contacts the light source component to transfer heat from the light source component, and the heat transfer component contacts the heat storage component to transfer heat to the heat storage component.

[0006] Preferably, the heat-conducting component is made of metal, heat-conducting silica gel, heat-conducting silicone grease, liquid metal, heat-conducting plastic or graphene.

[0007] Preferably, the heat storage component is made of sensible heat storage material, phase change heat storage material, thermochemical heat storage material or adsorption heat storage material.

[0008] Preferably, the heat storage component is made of heat storage glue.

[0009] Preferably, a heat transfer sheet is provided between the light source component and the heat conducting component.

[0010] Preferably, the teeth whitening device further comprises a mouthpiece and a light-transmitting sheet, and the rear sides of the mouthpiece and the light-transmitting sheet are respectively provided with structural ribs protruding backwards for positioning the heat-conducting portion.

[0011] The present invention also relates to a method for using the teeth whitening device. During use, the heat emitted by the lamp source component is transferred through the heat-conducting component, and the heat transferred by the heat-conducting component is absorbed and stored by the heat storage component, so as to gradually dissipate the heat after the whitening device is used.

[0012] The present invention also relates to an assembly method of the teeth whitening device, which is as follows: assembling the heat-conducting component adjacent to the light source component in the teeth whitening device, and assembling the heat storage component adjacent to the heat-conducting component.

[0013] Preferably, the assembly method is as follows: assemble the heat-conducting component into the teeth whitening device adjacent to the light source component, and inject liquid heat storage glue into the adjacent part of the heat-conducting component, and form the heat storage component after the heat storage glue is formed into a solid state.

As a result, the heat is stored by the heat storage component and gradually dissipated after the whitening device is used. The teeth whitening device will not emit excessive heat during use, can meet the performance requirements of waterproofing and heat dissipation in a small space, and provide a product inlet operating temperature not higher than the standard requirements, thereby effectively ensuring the working efficiency of the teeth whitening device and the user's experience, and is especially suitable for high-power teeth whitening devices; and when heat storage glue is used as the heat storage component, not only can the assembly of the teeth whitening device be extremely simple, but it also helps to reduce the processing cost of the teeth whitening device.

[0020] This embodiment provides a teeth whitening device, primarily comprising a light source component, a heat conduction component, and a heat storage component. The heat conduction component is disposed adjacent to the light source component, and the heat storage component is disposed adjacent to the heat conduction component. The heat conduction component is configured to conduct heat generated by the light source component to the heat storage component, which gradually dissipates the heat. The rated current of the light source component is greater than or equal to 30 mA. The following describes the main components with examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In one embodiment, the teeth whitening device further includes a mouthpiece 1, a light-transmitting sheet 2, and a mouthpiece housing 7. The light source component includes a light strip soft board 3 and a light source. The mouthpiece 1 is fitted to the front end of the mouthpiece housing 7 and the two cooperate to form a front accommodating chamber. The light-transmitting sheet 2 and the light strip soft board 3 are sequentially arranged in the front accommodating chamber from front to back, and the light strip soft board 3 is connected to the light source. The rear end of the mouthpiece housing 7 is also provided with a rear accommodating chamber for accommodating and connecting other components, such as circuit boards, battery components, etc. In addition, a connecting channel is provided between the front accommodating chamber and the rear accommodating chamber for allowing heat-conducting components and connecting lines to pass through.

[0022] The heat-conducting component is arranged at the connecting channel, so that the front end of the heat-conducting component is located in the front end accommodating chamber to absorb the heat emitted by the light source on the light strip soft board 3, and the rear end of the heat-conducting component is located in the rear end accommodating chamber, and the heat storage component is also arranged in the rear end accommodating chamber and adjacent to the heat-conducting component, so that it can absorb the heat conducted by the heat-conducting component.

[0023] The heat-conducting component is made of a heat-conducting material, preferably a material with high thermal conductivity, such as metal, thermally conductive silicone, thermally conductive silicone grease, liquid metal, thermally conductive plastic, graphene, etc. The heat storage component is made of a sensible heat storage material, a phase change heat storage material, a thermochemical heat storage material, or an adsorption heat storage material, such as heat storage glue 8, liquid water, or coolant. When a liquid medium such as liquid water or coolant is used as the heat storage component, the heat storage component further has a receiving chamber for receiving the liquid medium, and a hole is opened in the middle of the receiving chamber for the heat-conducting component to pass through.

[0024] Specifically, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a heat-conducting bracket 5 is used as the heat-conducting component, and the front end of the heat-conducting bracket 5 has a profiling portion designed to imitate the mouthpiece 1. For example, the profiling portion is an arc-shaped sheet structure, and the profiling portion is connected to the light strip soft board 3, and a heat transfer portion is provided on the rear side of the profiling portion. For example, the heat transfer portion is a planar sheet structure, so that it can have a larger contact area with the heat storage component, and the shape of the connecting channel is correspondingly adapted to the shape of the heat transfer portion. The heat transfer portion passes through the connecting channel and contacts the heat storage component in the rear end accommodating chamber.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the middle part of the rear side of the mouthpiece 1 and the light-transmitting sheet 2 is correspondingly provided with structural ribs protruding backwards, which are used to position the thermally conductive bracket 5 and can hold the light strip soft board 3 against the front side of the heat transfer part of the thermally conductive bracket 5, thereby ensuring effective contact between the light strip soft board 3 and the contoured part of the thermally conductive bracket 5, and further ensuring that the contoured part of the thermally conductive bracket 5 can more effectively absorb the heat of the light source on the light strip soft board 3.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a heat transfer sheet is provided between the flexible circuit board 3 and the contoured portion of the heat-conducting bracket 5 to facilitate heat transfer. The heat transfer sheet is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as metal, thermally conductive silicone, thermally conductive silicone grease, liquid metal, thermally conductive plastic, or graphene. In this embodiment, copper foil 4 is used as the heat transfer sheet. Furthermore, the connection between the flexible circuit board 3 and the heat-conducting bracket 5 is preferably also achieved using a connector made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as a metal nail 6.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the thermally conductive bracket 5 is further provided with a plurality of protrusion structures on the rear side of the contoured portion, and a groove structure is provided in the connecting channel corresponding to the protrusion structure, so that the mating connection position of the thermally conductive bracket 5 can be ensured by the mutual cooperation between the protrusion structure and the groove structure.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a heat storage glue 8 is used as the heat storage component. During assembly, the liquid heat storage glue 8 is injected into the front end of the rear end accommodating chamber of the mouthpiece shell 7. After it solidifies, it automatically has a structure that is similar to the front end of the rear end accommodating chamber. Not only is the assembly very convenient, but there is also no need for additional processing of the structure of the heat storage component, which helps to reduce processing procedures and processing costs.

[0029] When the whitening device is in operation, the light source on the light strip flexible board 3 begins to emit heat. The heat-conducting component conducts the heat to the rear end accommodation space on the back of the light strip flexible board 3, away from the user's mouth. The heat is then stored by the heat storage component. After the whitening device is used, the heat storage component gradually dissipates the stored heat. Therefore, during use, the entire whitening device does not generate much heat, ensuring the effectiveness of the whitening device.

[0030] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent replacement or change made by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention based on the technical solution and novel concept of the present invention should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
