As long as the inner shell and the outer shell can achieve relative sliding, it falls within the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The top and bottom of the housing 4 are respectively provided with a first groove 42 and a second groove 43, and the bottom of the protective cover 5 is provided with a first protrusion 53, the first protrusion 53 is provided in cooperation with the first groove 42, and the first protrusion 53 is provided in cooperation with the second groove 43; specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5In order to make the fit between the protective cover 5 and the outer shell 4 tighter and more precise, when the protective cover 5 is installed on the outside of the working assembly 2, the first protrusion 53 is matched with the first groove 42; when the protective cover 5 is installed on the outside of the bottom of the inner shell 3, the first protrusion 53 is matched with the second groove 43; see Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is a three-dimensional view of the protective cover 5 on the top of the shell 4. The protective cover 5 and the shell 4 are precisely matched and have an exquisite appearance.

[0056] Example 7

[0057] See also Figures 11 to 13 , this embodiment discloses a specific implementation of a personal care power tool.

[0058] Personal Care Power Tools, see Figures 11 to 13 , including a driving component 1, a working component 2, a shell 13 and a protective cover 5. The driving component 1 and the working component 2 are arranged inside the shell 13, and the protective cover 5 is arranged on the outside of the working component 2. The driving component 1 is provided with a Hall switch 10, and the protective cover 5 serves as a switch of the working component 2 when moving.

[0059] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the main function of the protective cover 5 is to protect the working component 2, and the protective cover 5 does not have any other functional functions; in this embodiment, the protective cover 5 will become an indispensable part of the personal care power tool. Specifically, the protective cover 5 serves as a switch for the working component 2 when moving.

[0060] For example, see Figure 11 A magnet 12 is provided on the protective cover 5, and the Hall switch 10 is electrically connected to the driving component 1 and is positioned close to the magnet 12. When the protective cover 5 is removed, that is, when the protective cover 5 drives the magnet 12 to move relative to the Hall switch 10, the Hall switch 10 is activated, thereby starting the working component 2; when use is completed, the protective cover 5 is installed on the outside of the working component 2. When the protective cover 5 drives the magnet 12 to approach the Hall switch 10, the Hall switch 10 is turned off, thereby turning off the working component 2.

[0061] For example, see Figure 12 , a magnet 12 is set on the protective cover 5, and the Hall switch 10 is electrically connected to the drive component 1 and is located close to the bottom of the drive component 1. When the protective cover 5 is removed and the Figure 13When the protective cover 5 is installed at the bottom of the housing 13 in a manner, that is, when the protective cover 5 drives the magnet 12 to approach the Hall switch 10, the Hall switch 10 is activated, and thus the working component 2 is activated; when use is finished, the protective cover 5 is removed from the bottom of the housing 13. The removal process is the process when the protective cover 5 drives the magnet 12 away from the Hall switch 10. At this time, the Hall switch 10 is turned off, and then the working component 2 is turned off. After closing, the protective cover 5 is put back to its original position, that is, the outside of the working component 2.

[0062] This embodiment enables the protective cover 5 of the power tool to have the function of a switch, that is, the protective cover 5 becomes a functional and indispensable part of opening or closing the power tool, thereby preventing the user from placing the protective cover 5 at will and avoiding the possibility of losing the protective cover 5.
