TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of electric toothbrushes, in particular to an electric toothbrush with force-controlled adjustment of the brush head. BACKGROUND
[0002] An electric toothbrush is a device that uses the rapid rotation or vibration of an electric motor to produce high-frequency vibrations in the brush head, instantly breaking down toothpaste into fine foam and deeply cleaning the gaps between teeth. At the same time, the vibration of the bristles can promote blood circulation in the mouth and have a massage effect on the gum tissue.
[0003] Electric toothbrushes are divided into two categories based on their principles: rotation and vibration. The principle of a rotating toothbrush is simple: an electric motor drives a circular brush head to rotate, enhancing the friction effect while performing the normal brushing action. Rotating toothbrushes have a strong force and can clean the teeth very well, but the cleaning of the gaps between teeth is relatively weak, and they can cause significant wear and tear on the teeth, so they are not recommended for long-term use. Vibration-type toothbrushes are more complex. They have an electrically driven vibration motor inside that can produce high-frequency oscillations perpendicular to the direction of the handle, but the amplitude of the oscillations is very small, typically around 5 mm up and down, with the largest amplitude in the industry being 6 mm. When brushing, the high-frequency oscillating brush head can efficiently complete the action of cleaning the teeth, and the more than 30,000 vibrations per minute also create a large number of tiny bubbles in the mixture of toothpaste and water in the mouth. The pressure generated by the bursting of these bubbles can clean the dirt in the gaps between teeth.
[0004] Current electric toothbrushes on the market are generally controlled by buttons on the handle. They require the user to set the brushing mode before brushing and press the button to control the toothbrush while brushing. Although different brushing modes have different vibration intensities, the brushing time for each mode is fixed and cannot be stopped in the middle. When the user needs to stop or extend the brushing time, they must start again with the same amount of time, and cannot control the start of the toothbrush at will. This means that the toothbrush cannot be turned on as soon as the user puts it in their mouth and turned off as soon as they take it out.

[0051] See Figure 10 In the first embodiment, the first sensing device 51 and the second sensing device 52 and the third sensing device 53 and the fourth sensing device 54 are pressure sensing probes or pressure sensitive resistors or touch keys. A fifth sensing device is also provided below the second sensing device 52, which is arranged in line with the first sensing device 51 and the second sensing device 52. The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the toothbrush head 2 is subjected to a squeezing force, the toothbrush head 2 will slightly sway to one side and pry the driving device 4 to sway in the opposite direction. When the toothbrush head 2 is subjected to a squeezing force on one side of the bristles 22, the driving device 4 drives the swinging bracket 6 to move towards the first sensing device 51, and after the first sensing device 51 contacts the first elastic conductive piece 73, an opening signal is generated, and the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to start. When the squeezing force on the toothbrush head 2 is greater than the first preset value, the second sensing device 51 contacts the first elastic conductive piece 73, triggering the driving device 4 to increase the vibration intensity. When the squeezing force on the toothbrush head 2 is greater than the second preset value, the fifth sensing device contacts the first elastic conductive piece 73, triggering the driving device 4 to temporarily stop and reduce the vibration amplitude. When the squeezing force on the toothbrush head 2 decreases to less than the first preset value, the driving device 4 returns to the first preset gear. Finally, when the squeezing force on the toothbrush head 2 decreases to zero, the first reset device 71 resets the driving device 4, and the first elastic conductive piece 74 is disconnected from the first sensing device 51, and the electric toothbrush is turned off or returns to standby state. Therefore, when the squeezing force on the toothbrush head 2 is too large, the driving device 4 will reduce the vibration intensity to protect the teeth from being damaged. When the squeezing force on the toothbrush head 2 is on the back of the bristles 22, the driving device 4 drives the swinging bracket 4 to move towards the third sensing device 53, and after the third sensing device 53 contacts the second elastic conductive piece 74, a standby signal is generated, the electric toothbrush enters the wake-up state, and a gear shifting signal is output, the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to switch mode and start in the current gear for a short time, thereby realizing the switching of different modes.
[0052] In the second embodiment, the first sensing device 51 and the second sensing device 52 and the third sensing device 53 and the fourth sensing device 54 are conductive needles, the first elastic conducting sheet 73 and the second elastic conducting sheet 74 are connected with the electrode of the driving device 4, and the swing bracket 6 is an insulating piece. The fourth sensing device 54 is provided with two in parallel. The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the toothbrush head 2 senses the front pressing force, the first elastic conducting sheet 73 is in contact with the first sensing device 51 to conduct, a start signal is generated, and the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to start. When the front pressing force is greater than the first threshold value, the first elastic conducting sheet 73 is in contact with the second sensing device 52 to conduct, a strong vibration mode signal is generated, and the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to increase the vibration intensity or amplitude. When the toothbrush head 2 senses that the front pressing force is zero, the first reset device 71 resets the driving device 4, the first elastic conducting sheet 73 is separated from the first sensing device 51, a standby or shutdown signal is generated, and the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to standby or shutdown. When the toothbrush head 2 senses the back pressing force, the second elastic conducting sheet 74 is in contact with the third sensing device 53 to conduct, a standby signal is generated, the electric toothbrush enters the wake-up state and outputs a gear shifting signal, and the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to switch the working mode and start for a short time at the current gear. This control method can realize the functions of automatic wake-up and automatic start of the electric toothbrush without key, start as soon as the entrance, stop as soon as the exit, and intelligent dynamic adjustment of the vibration intensity of toothbrushing.
[0053] A control method of an electric toothbrush
[0054] Firstly, the toothbrush head 2 senses the pressing force.
[0055] Secondly, when one side of the bristles 22 of the toothbrush head 2 is pressed, the driving device 4 swings around the hinge to make the swing bracket 6 in contact with the first sensing device 51 to generate a start signal, the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to start, and the electric toothbrush starts to work at the first preset gear.
[0056] Thirdly, when the pressing force on one side of the bristles 22 of the toothbrush head 2 increases to the first preset value, a strong vibration mode signal is generated, and the circuit board 5 controls the driving device 4 to increase the vibration intensity and amplitude.
[0057] Fourthly, when the pressing force on the toothbrush head 2 increases to greater than the second preset value, a protection signal is generated, the circuit board 5 controls the driving device 4 to stop for a short time, and then reduces the vibration intensity and amplitude.
[0058] Fifthly, when the pressing force on the toothbrush head 2 decreases to less than the first preset value, the circuit board 5 controls the driving device 4 to return to the first preset gear.
[0059] The sixth step, when the pressure on the brush head 2 is reduced to zero, the first reset device 71 resets the drive device 4, the first elastic conductive sheet 73 is out of contact with the first sensing device 51, and the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to standby or shut down;
[0060] The seventh step, when the back of the brush head 2 is pressed, the drive device 4 swings around the hinge, the swing bracket 6 contacts the third sensing device 53, a standby signal is generated, the electric toothbrush enters the wake-up state, and a gear shifting signal is output, and the circuit board 5 controls the electric toothbrush to switch the brushing mode and start for a short time in the current gear.
