[0002] Most oral care devices use water pumps to generate high pressure and pulse water flow to flush the mouth, so as to remove tiny food residues and harmful bacteria adhering to teeth or gums. For example, the existing water flosser uses a motor to drive the water pump to pump the liquid in the water tank out through the nozzle to clean the mouth. However, for users with sensitive gums or new users of water flossers, if high pulse water pressure is used directly, it may cause bleeding gums or water everywhere.
[0003] In the prior art, water flossers usually use the traditional 3-second gradual increase function after being turned on. The traditional 3-second gradual increase function is that the water pressure continues to increase after the device is turned on, making the gums always in a sensitive and irritated state, which is prone to gum bleeding or discomfort.

[0047] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0048] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium.

The terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0049] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiment of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.
[0050] Before introducing the control method of the oral care device of the present invention, the application scenario of the control method of the oral care device is first explained. The control method of the oral care device of the present invention can be applied to the oral care device itself, and can also be applied to smart terminals such as computers and smart phones. The present invention is not particularly limited here, as long as it can carry and implement the control method of the oral care device of the present invention. The following description takes the oral care device as an oral irrigator as an example. Without loss of generality, the oral care device can also be a toothbrush, medical dental cleaning equipment and other machines.
[0051] The following describes a method for controlling an oral care device according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0052] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the control method of the oral care device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0053] Step 100, i.e., the device activation step: controlling the oral care device to activate based on the activation instruction;
[0054] The control method of the oral care device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the oral care device as an oral irrigator as an example, and the execution subject is the control device in the oral irrigator.
[0055] The user can send the power-on command in a variety of ways. For example, the user can touch or press the power button on the oral irrigator; or, the user can also send the power-on command by voice control. Specifically, the oral irrigator is provided with a voice recognition unit. After the user issues a voice command, the voice recognition unit receives the voice command and judges it. If the voice command matches the preset power-on voice command, the voice recognition unit sends a power-on signal to the control device, and the control device controls the oral irrigator to turn on. The power-on voice command is a preset value and can be changed by the user according to user needs.
[0056] After receiving the opening instruction sent by the user, the control device controls the motor of the water flosser to turn on, so that the water flosser is turned on with a certain initial water pressure.
[0057] Step 200, i.e., the water pressure control step: controlling the water pressure in a preset time period to increase from an initial water pressure to a first set water pressure, decrease from the first set water pressure to a second set water pressure, and increase from the second set water pressure to a target water pressure; wherein the first set water pressure is less than the target water pressure.
[0058] According to the control method of the oral care device of the embodiment of the present invention, after the oral care device is turned on, the water pressure is controlled to first rise in the first stage, then fall back in the second stage, and finally rise to the target water pressure in the third stage. In the first stage, the change in water pressure can cause a certain stimulation reaction of the gums, so that the gums can adapt to the change in water pressure, and can also effectively remove the gas in the machine, improve the working efficiency of the water pump, thereby effectively preventing cavitation of the pump body assembly, and thus increasing the service life of the oral care device; in the second stage, the water pressure tends to fall back, so that the gums have a certain buffering and adaptation process after being stimulated in the first stage, preventing the gums from causing discomfort due to continuous stimulation of water pressure; in the third stage, the water pressure is increased to the target water pressure value after the gums have a certain adaptation, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the teeth.
[0059] In summary, the control method of the oral care device according to the embodiment of the present invention can effectively prevent the problem of gum bleeding during use for users with sensitive gums, and can improve the user's usage experience. In addition, since the nozzle often needs to be adjusted to align with the teeth when the user first uses it, if the water pressure is too high when it is just turned on, it may cause the nozzle to spray water everywhere during the adjustment process. Since the above-mentioned water pressure control steps are adopted, the control method of the oral care device of the present invention can avoid the confusion of the user caused by water spraying everywhere when the nozzle is not aligned with the teeth at the beginning of use.
[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, between the equipment starting step and the water pressure controlling step, the method further includes:
[0061] Mode determination step: obtaining the current working mode of the oral care device and determining whether the current working mode belongs to the preset mode; determining that the current working mode belongs to the preset mode, executing the water pressure control step.
[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the current working mode includes: a refreshing mode, a vigorous refreshing mode and a SPA mode, and the preset mode includes at least one of the refreshing mode, the vigorous refreshing mode and the SPA mode.
[0063] The water flosser can have multiple working modes for users to choose from. The current working mode of the water flosser after startup can be obtained through the control device. For example, the water flosser is currently in the refreshing mode, or the water flosser is in the refreshing mode, or the water flosser is in the SPA mode, etc.
[0064] It should be noted that different working modes have different setting parameters. For example, the initial water pressure and target water pressure are different in different working modes. Of course, in different working modes, the initial water pressure and target water pressure of the water flosser can also be the same, except that other parameters of the initial water pressure and the target water pressure are different; or, the initial water pressure is the same and the target water pressure is different; or, the initial water pressure is different and the target water pressure is the same. Among them, the initial water pressure can be zero. The preset mode refers to one or more modes preset by the user in advance.
[0065] It can be understood that due to the different parameters in different working modes, some working modes require the above-mentioned water pressure control steps, while some modes do not. For example, when the current working mode of the water flosser is SPA mode, the target water pressure set in the SPA mode is lower, which causes less stimulation to the user's gums, and therefore the above-mentioned water pressure control steps are not required.
[0066] In another embodiment of the present invention, the current working mode of the water flosser may include a working mode that requires water spraying (such as a refreshing mode, etc.) and a working mode that does not require water spraying. The working mode that does not require water spraying may be a lighting mode for checking the situation inside the oral cavity. At this time, since this mode does not require water spraying, the above-mentioned water pressure control step does not need to be adopted.
[0067] The preset mode is set as a working mode that requires water spraying, and when the current working mode of the water flosser belongs to the preset mode, the water flosser is controlled to perform the above-mentioned water pressure control step.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the user can set the preset mode to include only one of the refreshing mode, the invigorating mode and the SPA mode. For example, the user sets the preset mode to include only the refreshing mode, the control device obtains the current working mode of the water flosser, and the control device compares the current working mode of the water flosser with the preset mode. When it is determined that the current working mode of the water flosser is the refreshing mode, the control device controls the water pressure to first rise, then fall back and finally quickly rise to the target water pressure; when it is determined that the current working mode of the water flosser is the invigorating mode or the SPA mode, the water pressure is controlled to change according to the setting parameters of the current working mode.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the user can set the preset mode to include at least two modes of refreshing mode, refreshing mode and SPA mode. For example, the user sets the preset mode to include refreshing mode and refreshing mode, and the control device obtains the current working mode of the water flosser, and the control device compares the current working mode of the water flosser with the preset mode. When it is determined that the current working mode of the water flosser is the refreshing mode or the refreshing mode, the control device controls the water pressure to first rise, then fall back, and finally quickly rise to the target water pressure; when it is determined that the current working mode of the water flosser is the SPA mode, the water pressure is controlled to change according to the setting parameters of the current working mode.
[0070] It should be noted that the water pressure change process in which the control device controls the water pressure to first rise, then fall, and finally rise rapidly to the target water pressure is not the entire change process of the current working mode of the water flosser, but only the water pressure change process of the water flosser within a preset time period after startup. The purpose is to provide an adaptation process for the user. For example, the refreshing mode requires the water pressure of the water flosser to change according to the law of a sine curve after the water pressure control step. The control device first controls the water pressure to first rise, then fall, and finally rise rapidly to the target water pressure within a preset time period, and then the control device controls the water pressure to change according to the law of a sine curve. According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the water pressure control step, the water pressure is controlled to increase from the initial water pressure to the first set water pressure at a first change rate, and the water pressure is controlled to increase from the second set water pressure to the target water pressure at a second change rate, and the second change rate is greater than the first change rate.
[0071] Thus, in the first stage, since the water pressure changes at a lower rate, the gums of the user can have a certain amount of time to adapt when the user just starts using the water flosser, thereby preventing the water pressure from changing too quickly and causing discomfort to the user.
[0072] In the third stage, the water pressure is increased by controlling a second change rate that is faster than the first change rate, so that the water pressure of the water flosser can be quickly increased to the target water pressure, thereby facilitating normal use by the user.
[0073] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the water pressure control step, the water pressure is gradually increased to the first set water pressure in the first set time period, decreased to the second set water pressure in the second set time period, and gradually increased to the target water pressure in the third set time period. The second set time period includes a fourth set time period, a fifth set time period and a sixth set time period in sequence. On this basis, the water pressure is controlled to remain at the first set water pressure in the fourth set time period, gradually decrease from the first set water pressure to the second set water pressure in the fifth set time period, and remain at the second set water pressure in the sixth set time period.
[0074] In the second stage (i.e., within the second set time period), the control device first controls the water pressure to be stabilized at the first set water pressure, so that the user's gums can get a certain adaptation after being stimulated by the continuously rising water pressure in the first stage, and because the water pressure is maintained at the first set water pressure, the gums can further adapt to the water pressure at this time; then the control device controls the water pressure to gradually decrease to the second set water pressure, so that the gums that have experienced the water pressure change in the fourth set time period can get a certain buffering process; finally, the control device controls the water pressure to be stabilized at the second set water pressure, so that the gums can further adapt to the water pressure at this time, thereby preventing the gums from being damaged due to the lack of adaptation during the subsequent water pressure changes.
[0075] It can be understood that the preset time period includes at least a first set time period, a second set time period and a third set time period, and the second set time period includes at least a fourth set time period, a fifth set time period and a sixth set time period.
[0076] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the water pressure control step also includes: sending a pulse width modulation signal to the motor to control the duty cycle of the motor; controlling the duty cycle to gradually increase to a first set duty cycle within a first set time period, decrease to a second set duty cycle within a second set time period, and gradually increase to a target duty cycle within a third set time period.
[0077] According to the control method of the oral care device of the present invention, the duty cycle of the motor is controlled by a pulse modulation signal, thereby controlling the output power of the motor, and then controlling the water pressure of the oral irrigator. Specifically, by increasing the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal, the duty cycle of the motor can be increased. The larger the duty cycle of the motor, the larger the average output voltage of the motor, and thus the larger the output power of the motor, and then the greater the water pressure of the oral irrigator; by reducing the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal, the duty cycle of the motor can be reduced. The smaller the duty cycle of the motor, the smaller the average output voltage of the motor, and thus the smaller the output power of the motor, and then the smaller the water pressure of the oral irrigator.
[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control device determines that the current operating mode of the water flosser is a preset mode, and within a first set time period, controls the motor duty cycle to increase to a first set duty cycle so that the water pressure increases to the first set water pressure, and then within a second set time period, controls the motor duty cycle to decrease to a second set duty cycle so that the water pressure decreases to the second set duty cycle, and finally within a third set time period, controls the motor duty cycle to increase to a target duty cycle so that the water pressure increases to a third duty cycle.
[0079] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the water pressure control step, the control duty cycle is increased from the initial duty cycle to the first set duty cycle at a third change rate, and the control duty cycle is increased from the second set duty cycle to the target duty cycle at a fourth change rate, and the third change rate is less than the fourth change rate.
[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, within the second set time period, the control device first controls the motor duty cycle to maintain a first set duty cycle within a fourth set time period, then the control device controls the motor duty cycle to decrease from the first set duty cycle to a second set duty cycle within a fifth set time period, and finally the control device controls the duty cycle to maintain the second set duty cycle within a sixth set time period.
[0081] It can be understood that the first set duty cycle corresponds to the first set water pressure; the second duty cycle corresponds to the second set water pressure; and the target duty cycle corresponds to the target set water pressure.
[0082] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mode determination step includes: obtaining mode selection information of the user, and determining the current working mode based on the mode selection information.
[0083] The user can make a mode selection by pressing a button, voice control, etc. The control device obtains the user's mode selection information and determines the current working mode of the water flosser according to the mode selection information. For example, a plurality of selection buttons are provided on the water flosser housing, corresponding to different working modes of the water flosser, and the user can determine the current working mode of the water flosser by pressing the corresponding button.
[0084] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mode determination step includes: based on the mode selection time after the oral care device is turned on, no mode selection information is obtained, selecting the last historical working mode stored in the oral care device as the current working mode.
[0085] The above-mentioned "mode selection duration" refers to the duration reserved by the water flosser for the user to select the working mode. The duration can be a fixed value set in advance by the control device, or a variable value set by the user. The above-mentioned "last historical working mode" refers to the working mode that the water flosser was in when it was turned off during the last use.
[0086] In this way, by automatically selecting the last historical working mode, the user's selection time can be saved, so that the user's experience is better. For example, the working mode of the water flosser before the last shutdown was the refreshing mode. If the user turns on the water flosser again and does not select a mode, the control device automatically selects the refreshing mode as the current working mode.
[0087] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mode parameters of the preset mode include: a target water pressure, an initial water pressure and a preset time period.
[0088] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the preset time period is less than or equal to 3 seconds.
[0089] In this way, a certain amount of time can be reserved for the user's gums to adapt, and the normal use of the water flosser can be maintained. For example, the preset time period includes a first set time period, a second set time period, and a third set time period, and the first set time period, the second set time period, and the third set time period are accumulated to equal 3 seconds.
[0090] A specific embodiment of the control method of the oral care device according to the first aspect of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0091] like Figure 2 As shown, the first set time period is 0 to t0, the second set time period is t0 to t3, the third set time period is t3 to t4, the fourth set time period is t0 to t1, the fifth set time period is t1 to t2, the sixth set time period is t2 to t3, the first set water pressure is P0, the second set water pressure is P1, and the target water pressure is P2. As time changes, the water pressure of the water flosser first rises to the first set water pressure and then remains unchanged, then drops to the second set water pressure and remains unchanged, and finally rises to the target water pressure.
[0092] The specific process is as follows: the user presses the power button on the water flosser housing, the timer is reset, and then the timer starts timing, the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal starts to rise from zero, and the duty cycle of the motor increases, causing the water pressure to rise. When the timer finishes the first set time period, that is, when the timer reaches t0, the timer stops timing, and then the timer is reset. At this time, the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal is the first set frequency value, and the water pressure rises to the first set water pressure P0.
[0093] The timer starts timing, and within the fourth set time period, the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal remains unchanged at the first set frequency value, and the water pressure remains unchanged at the first set water pressure P0. After the timer finishes timing the fourth set time period, that is, when the timer times to t1-t0, the timer stops timing and then the timer is reset.
[0094] The timer starts to count and continues to count. During the fifth set time period, the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal decreases, and the duty cycle of the motor decreases, so that the water pressure decreases. After the timer counts the fifth set time period, that is, when the timer counts to t2-t1, the timer stops counting and then the timer is reset. At this time, the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal is the second set frequency value, and the water pressure drops to the second set water pressure P1.
[0095] The timer continues to time, and within the sixth set time period, the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal remains unchanged at the second set frequency value, and the water pressure remains unchanged at the second set water pressure P1. After the timer finishes timing the sixth set time period, that is, when the timer times to t3-t2, the timer stops timing and then the timer is reset.
[0096] Finally, the timer continues to count, and within the third set time period, the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal increases, and the duty cycle of the motor increases, causing the water pressure to rise. When the timer finishes counting the third set time period, that is, when the timer counts to t4-t3, the timer stops counting, and then the timer is reset. At this time, the frequency value of the pulse width modulation signal is the target frequency value, and the water pressure rises to the target water pressure P2.
[0097] After that, it enters the user's normal usage time. After the user has finished using the water flosser, the user presses the power button to turn off the output of the pulse width modulation signal, and the water pressure drops to zero.
[0098] It should be noted that the above steps 100 and 200, as well as other steps, are only for the convenience of description and do not constitute a time sequence limitation for each step in the control method of the oral care device. In addition, some contents are described in detail in the control method of the oral care device provided in the first aspect embodiment, and the contents in the control method of all oral care devices are also applicable to the control device of the oral care device provided in the second aspect embodiment, and in order to avoid repetition, the control device of the oral care device provided in the second aspect embodiment is not described in detail. Similarly, the contents in the above two aspects of the embodiments can be used to explain the contents of all the subsequent aspects of the embodiments, so the repeated contents will not be repeated in the subsequent embodiments.
[0099] like Figure 3 As shown, the control device of the oral care device according to the second aspect of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a device starting module 710 and a first control module 720.
[0100] The device activation module 710 is used to control the oral care device to activate based on the activation instruction sent by the user;
