[0048] Figure 1 The schematic structural diagram of an electric toothbrush in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 The schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the electric toothbrush head in the electric toothbrush in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 3 Shown is Figure 2 The schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a partial structure of the electric toothbrush head in the shown electric toothbrush. For ease of description, the drawings only show the structures related to the embodiments of the present invention.

[0049] Referring to the drawings, an embodiment of the present application provides an electric toothbrush head 100, which includes a brush head body 10, a bristle member 20 and a first trigger switch 30. The electric toothbrush head 100 of the present application is used for an electric toothbrush 200, and the electric toothbrush 200 further includes an electric toothbrush body 210, and the electric toothbrush head 100 can be connected to the electric toothbrush body 210.

[0050] The brush head body 10 includes a first accommodation cavity 11 with an installation opening on one side. The bristle member 20 is installed at the installation opening, and the first trigger switch 30 is disposed in the first accommodation cavity 11. Among them, the bristle member 20 can move relative to the brush head body 10 between a first position and a second position under an external force. The first trigger switch 30 can be separated from the bristle member 20 when the bristle member 20 is in the first position, and can be triggered when the bristle member 20 is in the second position. The first trigger switch 30 can send an alarm signal when triggered.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the alarm signal can be responded to by the alarm member 40, so that the alarm member 40 issues a warning prompt message. Specifically, the electric toothbrush head 100 includes an alarm member 40. In other embodiments, the electric toothbrush body 210 includes an alarm member 40, which is not limited herein. In some embodiments, the alarm member 40 is one or any combination of an alarm lamp, a buzzer or a vibration member, which is not limited herein. Specifically, the vibration member can be the motor 212 in the electric toothbrush body 210 ( Figure 5As shown, after the motor 212 responds to the alarm signal, it can give a prompt to the user by stopping the motor 212, or give a prompt to the user in other frequencies or by changing the vibration direction, which is not limited here.

[0052] In this way, when brushing teeth with the electric toothbrush 200 having the electric toothbrush head 100, if the brushing force is too large, it will cause the bristle member 20 to move from the first position to the second position, thereby triggering the first trigger switch 30. After the first trigger switch 30 is triggered, it sends an alarm signal, and the alarm signal can be responded to by the alarm member 40, thereby sending an alarm prompt message to remind the user that the brushing force is too large. The user can reduce the brushing force under this prompt, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of brushing teeth.

[0053] In addition, since the present application triggers the first trigger switch 30 through the movement of the bristle member 20, and the bristle member 20 is directly in contact with the user's teeth, it can timely feedback the brushing force, with quick response, and no additional movement structure needs to be set, so the overall structure is also simple.

[0054] Please refer to again Figure 3 In some embodiments, the electric toothbrush head 100 further includes a first elastic member 50. The two ends of the first elastic member 50 are respectively abutted against the brush head body 10 and the bristle member 20 to provide a pre-tightening force for the bristle member 20 to stay in the first position. In this way, the first trigger switch 30 can be triggered by the bristle member 20 resisting the elastic force of the first elastic member 50 under an external force, and can automatically return to a position separated from the first trigger switch 30 after the external force disappears. Therefore, the adjustment of the brushing force is fast, improving the user experience. Specifically, the first elastic member 50 includes a spring. In other embodiments, it can also be elastic rubber or silicone, etc., which is not limited here.

[0055] Specifically, in the implementation manner of the present application, the first elastic member 50 is disposed in the first accommodation cavity 11. In other implementation manners, it can also be disposed outside the first accommodation cavity 11, which is not limited here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the brush head body 10 is provided with a first positioning member 12, and the first elastic member 50 is engaged with the first positioning member 12 to be positioned on the brush head body 10. Specifically, the first positioning member 12 is a positioning stud or a positioning groove. In another embodiment, the bristle member 20 is provided with a second positioning member 21, and the first elastic member 50 is engaged with the second positioning member 21 to be positioned on the bristle member 20. Specifically, the second positioning member 21 is a positioning stud or a positioning groove. In other embodiments, the brush head body 10 is provided with a first positioning member 12, the first elastic member 50 is engaged with the first positioning member 12, and the bristle member 20 is provided with a second positioning member 21, and the first elastic member 50 is engaged with the second positioning member 21. By setting the positioning members, the first elastic member 50 can be prevented from shifting during the movement of the bristle member 20, thereby making the movement of the bristle member 20 stable.

[0057] Furthermore, the bristle member 20 includes a bristle member body 22 and an elastic buckle 23. The elastic buckle 23 includes an elastic arm 231 and a buckle portion 232. One end of the elastic arm 231 is connected to the bristle member body 22, and the other end extends in a first direction away from the bristle member body 22. The buckle portion 232 protrudes from one side of the elastic arm 231 in a second direction. The buckle portion 232 can abut against the brush head body 10 under the action of the pre-tightening force of the first elastic member 50, so that the bristle member body 22 is limited to the brush head body 10, wherein the first direction intersects with the second direction. Specifically, the first direction is the same as the movement direction of the bristle member 20 relative to the brush head body 10, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. By providing the elastic buckle 23, during the process of installing the bristle member 20 into the installation opening, the buckle portion 232 resists against the side wall of the brush head body 10 to cause elastic deformation of the elastic arm 231. After reaching the installation position, the resistance force disappears, and the buckle portion 232 can return to its original position under the action of the elastic arm 231, and then the buckle portion 232 abuts against the brush head body 10. Using the elastic buckle 23 makes the connection relationship between the bristle member 20 and the brush head body 10 more reliable.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that by providing the elastic buckle 23, the bristle member 20 is detachable relative to the brush head body 10. Thus, when the bristles are damaged or worn out, only the bristle member 20 needs to be replaced, and there is no need to replace the entire electric toothbrush head 100. Therefore, the replacement cost is saved. In other embodiments, the bristle member 20 can also be made detachable relative to the brush head body 10 by means other than the elastic buckle 23, such as sliding disassembly, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0059] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the elastic arm 231 can extend into the first receiving cavity 11, and the buckle portion 232 abuts against the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 11. In other embodiments, the elastic buckle 23 can also be outside the first receiving cavity 11, which is not limited herein.

[0060] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the bristle member 20 includes at least two elastic buckles 23, and the at least two elastic buckles 23 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the bristle member body 22. Preferably, the bristle member 20 includes three elastic buckles 23.

[0061] In some embodiments, the bristle member 20 and the brush head body 10 are hermetically connected by a sealant. Specifically, the sealant is filled into the first accommodation cavity 11. In other embodiments, they can also be hermetically connected by other sealing structures, which are not limited herein.

[0062] In some embodiments, the electric toothbrush head 100 further includes a second trigger switch 60. The second trigger switch 60 is arranged in the first accommodation cavity 11. During the movement of the bristle member 20 relative to the brush head body 10, there is also a third position, which is located between the first position and the second position. The second trigger switch 60 can be triggered when the bristle member 20 is in the third position, and the second trigger switch 60 can send a vibration frequency signal when triggered. Specifically, the vibration frequency signal sent by the second trigger switch 60 can be responded to by the motor 212 in the electric toothbrush body 210, so that the motor 212 can vibrate at the first vibration frequency. In this way, when the bristle member 20 contacts the user's teeth, the bristle member 20 moves and first triggers the second trigger switch 60, and then the motor 212 can vibrate at the first vibration frequency to clean the teeth.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, when the electric toothbrush 200 is started, the motor 212 can vibrate at a second vibration frequency less than the first vibration frequency to avoid the toothpaste falling off the bristle member 20 due to excessive vibration during brushing. Of course, in other embodiments, after the electric toothbrush 200 is started, the motor 212 can also vibrate at the first vibration frequency directly after the second trigger switch 60 is triggered. In this way, before the bristle member 20 contacts the teeth, the motor 212 does not work, avoiding toothpaste dropping.

[0064] In some embodiments, the electric toothbrush head 100 further includes a brush head circuit board 70 arranged in the first accommodation cavity 11, and the first trigger switch 30 is integrated on the brush head circuit board 70. Similarly, the second trigger switch 60 can also be integrated on the brush head circuit board 70. In other embodiments, the alarm member 40 can also be integrated on the brush head circuit board 70. Specifically, the brush head circuit board 70 is connected to the cavity wall of the first accommodation cavity 11 by screws.

[0065] Such as Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the electric toothbrush head 100 further includes a vibration transmission shaft 75. The vibration transmission shaft 75 can transmit the vibration generated by the motor 212. The vibration transmission shaft 75 is disposed on the brush head body 10, and one end is electrically connected to the first trigger switch 30, and the other end is used to be connected to the main control board 213 of the electric toothbrush body 210 of the electric toothbrush 200. In this way, the first trigger switch 30 can be controlled by the main control board 213 of the electric toothbrush 200, and the function of replacing the electric toothbrush head 100 is not affected. It should also be noted that since the first trigger switch 30 is connected to the main control board 213 through the vibration transmission shaft 75 and uses the existing components of the electric toothbrush 200 itself without the need to additionally set up an electrical connection structure, the overall structure is simplified.

[0066] In addition, in order to improve the electrical conductivity of the vibration transmission shaft 75, in some embodiments, it can be achieved by increasing the percentage of nickel element in the vibration transmission shaft 75.

[0067] Furthermore, in order to prevent the vibration of the vibration transmission shaft 75 from affecting the first trigger switch 30, it is provided that the electric toothbrush head 100 further includes a first electrical connection line 80 and an electrical connection block 82. One end of the first electrical connection line 80 is electrically connected to the first trigger switch 30, the other end of the first electrical connection line 80 is connected to the electrical connection block 82, and the end of the electrical connection block 82 away from the first electrical connection line 80 is in contact with the vibration transmission shaft 75. In this way, by providing the first electrical connection line 80, the vibration conducted by the vibration transmission shaft 75 to the first trigger switch 30 can be weakened or even eliminated, and the connection between the first electrical connection line 80 and the vibration transmission shaft 75 can be made reliable through the electrical connection block 82 to avoid disconnection during the vibration process.

[0068] Furthermore, the electric toothbrush head 100 further includes a second elastic member 85. The second elastic member 85 is compressed between the brush head body 10 and the electrical connection block 82 and is used to provide a pre-tightening force for the electrical connection block 82 to keep in contact with the vibration transmission shaft 75. In this way, by providing the second elastic member 85, the electrical connection block 82 and the vibration transmission shaft 75 can always be kept in contact state without affecting their electrical connection relationship. Specifically, the second elastic member 85 includes a sponge or other porous structures, which is not limited herein.

[0069] Furthermore, the brush head body 10 has a limiting cavity 13, the second elastic member 85 is limited in the limiting cavity 13, and the electrical connection block 82 extends into the limiting cavity 13 and is in contact with the second elastic member 85.

[0070] In some embodiments, one of the brush head body 10 and the vibration drive shaft 75 is provided with a positioning slot 751, and the other is provided with a positioning protrusion 14. The positioning slot 751 cooperates with the positioning protrusion 14 to position the vibration drive shaft 75 on the brush head body 10. In this way, the positioning method of the vibration drive shaft 75 is simple, and through this positioning, the positional relationship between the vibration drive shaft 75 and the brush head body 10, that is, the limiting cavity 13, can be determined, so that the second elastic member 85 can be reliably compressed.

[0071] In some embodiments, the brush head body 10 has a second receiving cavity 15 connected to the first receiving cavity 11, and the vibration drive shaft 75 and the first electrical connection line 80 are both disposed in the second receiving cavity 15. Specifically, the second receiving cavity 15 includes a limiting cavity 13.

[0072] In some embodiments, the brush head body 10 includes a brush head bracket 90. The brush head bracket 90 is installed in the second receiving cavity 15 and is used to support the vibration drive shaft 75. Specifically, the positioning slot 751 or the positioning protrusion 14 is disposed on the brush head bracket 90. Specifically, the brush head bracket 90 is installed in the second receiving cavity 15 by a buckle or a slot.

[0073] In some embodiments, the brush head bracket 90 has a third receiving cavity 91. Both ends of the third receiving cavity 91 communicate with the second receiving cavity 15 and the outside respectively, and the vibration drive shaft 75 is disposed in the third receiving cavity 91.

[0074] Please refer to again Figure 1 , based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides an electric toothbrush 200, including the above-mentioned electric toothbrush head 100 and an electric toothbrush body 210 connected to the electric toothbrush head 100. Specifically, the electric toothbrush head 100 can be integrally provided with or detachably connected to the electric toothbrush body 210.

[0075] As Figure 5 shown, further, the electric toothbrush body 210 includes a body main body 211, a motor 212 and a main control board 213 installed on the body main body 211. The motor 212 is controlled to provide a vibration force to the electric toothbrush head 100, and the first trigger switch 30 is communicatively connected to the main control board 213. In this way, the first trigger switch 30 sends an alarm signal to the main control board 213, and the alarm member 40 and the motor 212 are controlled through the main control board 213. Similarly, the second trigger switch 60 is also communicatively connected to the main control board 213.

[0076] In some embodiments, the motor 212 includes a vibration motor shaft 2121. The first trigger switch 30 is electrically connected to the main control board 213 through the vibration motor shaft 2121. Similarly, the second trigger switch 60 can also be electrically connected to the main control board 213 through the vibration motor shaft 2121. In this way, without additional electrical connection structures, the components of the electric toothbrush body 210 itself are used to communicate with the first trigger switch 30, simplifying the overall structure.

[0077] Specifically, one end of the vibration transmission shaft 75 away from the first trigger switch 30 is butted against one end of the vibration motor shaft 2121. In this way, the first trigger switch 30 can be electrically connected to the main control board 213 through the vibration transmission shaft 75 and the vibration motor shaft 2121.

[0078] Furthermore, the electric toothbrush body 210 further includes an electrical connection component. One end of the electrical connection component is attached to the vibration motor shaft 2121 along the radial direction of the vibration motor shaft 2121, and the other end is electrically connected to the main control board 213. In this way, it can be avoided that the electrical connection component is arranged at the end of the vibration motor shaft 2121, which affects the docking between it and the vibration transmission shaft 75. In addition, it is also beneficial to increase the attachment area and improve the connection reliability.

[0079] Even further, the electrical connection component includes a conductive sheet 214 and a second electrical connection line 215. The conductive sheet 214 is attached to the vibration motor shaft 2121. One end of the second electrical connection line 215 is connected to the conductive sheet 214, and the other end is electrically connected to the main control board 213. In this way, by setting the conductive sheet 214, the structure is simple, and the attachment area with the vibration motor shaft 2121 is large. And by setting the second electrical connection line 215, the influence of the vibration generated by the vibration motor shaft 2121 on its electrical connection with the main control board 213 can be reduced or even eliminated, improving the connection reliability. Specifically, the conductive sheet 214 can be welded to the vibration motor shaft 2121. Specifically, the conductive sheet 214 is a metal conductive sheet.

[0080] In some embodiments, in order to make the positioning of the conductive sheet 214 relative to the vibration motor shaft 2121 more stable, a stepped groove 2122 is provided on the outer side of the vibration motor shaft 2121, and the conductive sheet 214 is attached to the bottom wall of the stepped groove 2122 extending along the axial direction.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, the electric toothbrush body 210 further includes a battery 216. The battery 216 is electrically connected to the main control board 213 and the motor 212, and the battery 216 can supply power to the motor 212.

[0082] In some embodiments, the body main body 211 further includes a body bracket 217. The body bracket 217 is installed in the third accommodation cavity 2111 of the body main body 211, and both the motor 212 and the main control board 213 are installed on the body bracket 217.

[0083] The electric toothbrush head 100 and the electric toothbrush 200 provided by the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0084] When brushing teeth with the electric toothbrush 200 having the electric toothbrush head 100, if the brushing force is too large, it will cause the bristle member 20 to move from the first position to the second position, thereby triggering the first trigger switch 30. After the first trigger switch 30 is triggered, it sends an alarm signal, and this alarm signal can be responded to by the alarm member 40, thereby sending out a warning prompt message to remind the user that the brushing force is too large. Under this prompt, the user can reduce the brushing force, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of brushing teeth.

[0085] In addition, since the present application triggers the first trigger switch 30 through the movement of the bristle member 20, and the bristle member 20 is directly in contact with the user's teeth, it can timely feedback the brushing force, with sensitive response, and there is no need to additionally set up a movement structure, so the overall structure is also simple.

[0086] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0087] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. Their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
