[0053] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a functional module diagram of a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. The various components of the cleaning device will be described in detail below.
[0054] The cleaning device 100 includes:
[0055] The cleaning area identification module 110 is used to monitor the initial information of the cleaning device 100;
[0056] The main control module 120 is used to determine target information based on initial information and to determine the cleaning area based on the target information.
[0057] The cleaning area identification module 110 and the main control module 120 are electrically connected, and both the cleaning area identification module 110 and the main control module 120 are embedded in the enclosed space formed by the housing of the cleaning device 100.
[0058] In this embodiment:
[0059] The cleaning device 100 can be an oral hygiene tool such as a water flosser and a toothbrush. For ease of description of the cleaning device 100 in this embodiment, the cleaning device 100 in this embodiment and the following embodiments will be described in detail mainly using a toothbrush. It is understood that the cleaning device 100 in this embodiment and the following embodiments will be described in detail mainly using an electric toothbrush.
[0060] The clean area recognition module 110 may include sensors that can identify parameter information in the oral cavity. The sensors may include contact sensors and non-contact sensors, and the different types of sensors determine the parameter type of the parameter information in the oral cavity.
[0061] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a functional module including a ranging unit in a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0062] Optionally, the clean area identification module 110 includes a ranging unit 1110, which is electrically connected to the main control module 120.
[0063] The ranging unit 1110 is used to acquire distance information, including distance information inside and / or outside the oral cavity;
[0064] The main control module 120 is also used to determine target information based on distance information and to determine the cleaning area based on the target information.
[0065] Specifically, the ranging unit 1110 in this embodiment can be a non-contact ranging sensor. By acquiring distance information through a non-contact distance sensor, oral damage caused by direct contact of the oral cavity with a contact ranging sensor can be avoided to a great extent.
[0066] The distance information includes intraoral and / or extraoral distance information. Intraoral distances can be between different oral regions, such as the distance between the upper and lower jaws. Extraoral distance information can be between extraoral and intraoral regions, such as the distance between the oral cavity and the portion of the cleaning device 100 outside the oral cavity. Based on the intraoral and extraoral distance information, the specific location of the cleaning device 100 within the oral cavity can be accurately determined, facilitating the identification of the cleaning area within the oral cavity.
[0067] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device 100 further includes, for example, Figure 2 The information processing module 310 in the middle is used to filter distance information according to a preset threshold;
[0068] The ranging unit 1110 is also used to determine initial information based on the filtered distance information, and the initial information is an analog signal.
[0069] The information processing module 310 includes an information processing chip, which can be an embedded dedicated real-time information processing chip capable of processing initial information in real time, thereby accelerating the recognition efficiency of clean areas in the oral cavity. The preset thresholds include a lower threshold and an upper threshold, and the units for the values corresponding to the lower and upper thresholds include millimeters and centimeters. Similarly, the units for the distance information values can also include millimeters and centimeters. The specific selection depends on the actual distance measurement accuracy requirements of the ranging unit 1110 and is not specifically limited here.
[0070] Specifically, distance information below the lower threshold and distance information above the upper threshold can be removed. The accuracy of identifying the clean area in the oral cavity can be improved based on the filtered distance information. For example, if the length of the cleaning device 100 in this embodiment is 20 centimeters, and the distance information outside the oral cavity exceeds 20 centimeters, it indicates that the cleaning device 100 is not inside the oral cavity. Distance information outside the oral cavity exceeding 20 centimeters is abnormal data and can be removed by the information processing module 310 to improve the accuracy of identifying the clean area in the oral cavity.
[0071] Optionally, the information processing module 310 is also used to perform analog-to-digital conversion on the initial information to obtain intermediate information;
[0072] The main control module 120 is also used to determine target information based on intermediate information and to determine the cleaning area based on the target information, wherein both intermediate information and target information are digital signals.
[0073] The initial information, including distance information, obtained by the ranging unit 1110 is presented in the form of analog signals such as voltage, which is not conducive to further data processing. The information processing unit performs analog-to-digital conversion on the initial information to obtain intermediate information as digital signals, which facilitates the processing of intermediate information, speeds up data processing, and further improves the efficiency of identifying clean areas in the oral cavity.
[0074] The main control module 120 can be a chip with data processing capabilities. In the above embodiments, the confirmation of target information is completed by the main control module 120. The intermediate information obtained after processing by the information processing module 310 in the above embodiments needs to be synchronized to the main control module 120 in real time so that the main control module 120 can process the intermediate information in a timely manner, quickly confirm the target information, and improve the efficiency of confirming the clean area in the oral cavity.
[0075] Specifically, the main control module 120 can determine the target information based on the intermediate information and the preset table. Considering that the intermediate information may not directly represent the distance information, in one case, the preset table includes the actual distance and the corresponding distance identifier, and the actual distance and the distance identifier in the preset table store a one-to-one mapping relationship. The main control module 120 can compare the received intermediate information with the distance identifier in the preset table to confirm the distance identifier corresponding to the intermediate information. The main control module 120 can query the corresponding actual distance based on the confirmed distance identifier.
[0076] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the oral cavity has been precisely divided into regions, and the region division information can be stored in the main control module 120. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the oral cavity region involved in a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. The oral cavity in this embodiment can be divided into six regions: the upper right region A, the lower right region B, the upper left region C, the lower left region D, the region above the incisors E, and the region below the incisors F. All six regions are cleaning regions in this embodiment. To identify cleaning regions with high accuracy, the oral cavity in this embodiment can also be pre-divided into more than six regions, depending on the accuracy requirements; no specific limitation is made here.
[0077] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a memory and a data interface. The memory can be used to store the initial information obtained in the above embodiments and the target information confirmed by the main control module 120. The memory is electrically connected to the data interface. If a user wants to obtain the original data of the confirmed cleaning area, they can read the stored information in the memory from the data interface according to the external information reading device.
[0078] In addition, the cleaning area identification module 110, the information processing module 310 and the memory in the above embodiments are electrically connected to the main control module 120, and the cleaning area identification module 110, the information processing module 310, the memory and the main control module 120 are all embedded in the enclosing space formed by the housing of the cleaning device 100.
[0079] In some embodiments, the housing of the cleaning device 100 includes a first outer shell and a second outer shell. The first outer shell and the second outer shell cooperate to form the enclosing space in the above embodiments. The first outer shell and the second outer shell are connected by a silicone structural component such as a silicone sealing ring. Specifically, a groove is provided on the edge where the first outer shell and the second outer shell cooperate, and the silicone sealing ring is disposed in the groove. Similarly, a groove is also provided on the edge where the second outer shell and the first outer shell cooperate, and the silicone sealing ring is also disposed in the groove, which enables the cleaning device 100 to have waterproof performance.
[0080] In some embodiments, the housing of the cleaning device 100 includes a first outer shell and a second outer shell, which are connected by a waterproof adhesive. This also enables the cleaning device 100 to have waterproof performance, providing good protection for the cleaning device 100 and extending its service life.
[0081] As can be seen from the above analysis, the cleaning device provided in this application embodiment monitors the initial information of the cleaning device through the cleaning area identification module, and then the main control module determines the target information based on the initial information. In turn, the main control module can determine the cleaning area in the oral cavity based on the target information. The main control module can accurately determine the cleaning area in the oral cavity based on the target information, and can correctly guide the user to perform daily oral cleaning effectively and comprehensively.
[0082] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a model diagram of a cleaning device including a cleaning module and a handle, provided as an embodiment of this application. The position of at least one ranging sensor can be set as shown in the following example... Figure 4 The corresponding positions of the first ranging sensor 1111, the second ranging sensor 1112, the third ranging sensor 1113, and the fourth ranging sensor 1114 can also be set according to actual needs, such as... Figure 4 Other locations of the cleaning module 210 and handle 220.
[0083] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device 100 includes a cleaning module 210 and a handle 220, the cleaning module 210 being rigidly connected to the handle 220, and the ranging unit 1110 including at least one ranging sensor, wherein...
[0084] At least one distance sensor is embedded in the end of the handle 220 near the cleaning module 210 or in the end of the handle 220 away from the cleaning module 210;
[0085] The main control module 120 is also used to determine target information based on distance information inside the oral cavity and / or distance information outside the oral cavity, and to determine the cleaning area based on the target information.
[0086] In this embodiment, a ranging sensor can measure distance information inside the oral cavity or outside the oral cavity, and a ranging sensor can measure distance information inside the oral cavity and distance information outside the oral cavity. The main control module 120 can determine target information based on the distance information inside the oral cavity and / or the distance information outside the oral cavity, which increases the method of determining target information. Furthermore, if the target information is determined based on the distance information inside the oral cavity and the distance information outside the oral cavity, the accuracy of determining the target information can be improved.
[0087] For example, the following description will be based on four sensors. The cleaning device 100 includes a cleaning module 210 and a handle 220. The cleaning module 210 is rigidly connected to the handle 220. The ranging unit 1110 includes, as shown below, a cleaning module 210 and a handle 220. Figure 2 The first ranging sensor 1111, the second ranging sensor 1112, the third ranging sensor 1113, and the fourth ranging sensor 1114 are included, among which,
[0088] The first distance sensor 1111, the second distance sensor 1112, and the third distance sensor 1113 are embedded in the end of the handle 220 near the cleaning module 210, and the fourth distance sensor 1114 is embedded in the end of the handle 220 away from the cleaning module 210. The first distance sensor 1111 and the second distance sensor 1112 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the first distance sensor 1111 and the third distance sensor 1113 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0089] The main control module 120 is also used to determine target information based on distance information inside and outside the oral cavity, and to determine the cleaning area based on the target information.
[0090] The distance information inside the oral cavity is obtained by the first ranging sensor 1111, the second ranging sensor 1112, and the third ranging sensor 1113, while the distance information outside the oral cavity is obtained by the fourth ranging sensor 1114.
[0091] Specifically, taking a toothbrush as an example, the cleaning module 210 includes a brush head; taking a water flosser as an example, the cleaning module 210 includes a nozzle. Again, using a toothbrush as an example, the cleaning module 210 is the brush head. The handle 220 can be understood as the housing in the above embodiments, which can be formed by the cooperation of the first outer shell and the second outer shell in the above embodiments. This embodiment provides the relative positional relationship of the four ranging sensors mentioned above. The positions of the four ranging sensors on the handle 220 and their relative positional relationship with the brush head are as follows: Figure 4 The first distance sensor 1111 is embedded in the handle 220 near the brush head and is located on the same side as the brush head. The first distance sensor 1111 and the third distance sensor 1113 are located on the same straight line. The first distance sensor 1111 and the third distance sensor are connected at a 90-degree angle to the location of the second distance sensor 1112.
[0092] It is understood that the ranging unit 1110 of this embodiment does not only include four ranging sensors. Any scheme in which the ranging unit 1110 of the cleaning device 100 includes at least one ranging sensor is within the protection scope of this application.
[0093] in addition, Figure 4 The cylindrical handle 220 in the example is only one specific example. Other shapes of handle 220 do not affect the position setting of the ranging sensor. For example, polyhedral handle 220 are all within the protection scope of this application.
[0094] In some embodiments, the first ranging sensor 1111, the second ranging sensor 1112, the third ranging sensor 1113 and the fourth ranging sensor 1114 each include at least one of an infrared ranging sensor, a laser ranging sensor, an ultrasonic ranging sensor, a time-of-flight ranging sensor and a proximity sensor.
[0095] In some embodiments, a button module may also be embedded on the handle 220, which may include start and stop buttons.
[0096] In some embodiments, a touch module may also be embedded in the handle 220, which may include touch areas for start and stop functions.
[0097] Before cleaning the mouth, let's take a toothbrush as an example. Toothbrushes are personal protective equipment. In particular, a toothbrush with a combination of cleaning module 210 and handle 220 can meet the user's personalized needs and usage habits. Equipping the handle 220 with different brush heads not only fails to meet the user's usage habits, but may even damage the mouth.
[0098] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device 100 further includes, for example, Figure 2The identity recognition module 320 is used to identify the user identity information of the cleaning device 100. The identity recognition module 320 is electrically connected to the main control module 120 and is embedded in the handle 220.
[0099] Specifically, in this embodiment, the identity recognition module 320 can recognize the user's identity information, thus avoiding damage to the oral cavity caused by changing to a commonly used brush head.
[0100] Optionally, the identification module 320 is also used to obtain the first identifier of the cleaning module 210 and the second identifier of the handle 220;
[0101] The main control module 120 is also used to control the working state of the cleaning device 100 according to the first identifier and the second identifier, wherein,
[0102] When the first identifier and the second identifier are the same identifier, the main control module 120 is used to generate a start command, which is used to instruct the cleaning device 100 to start working.
[0103] When the first identifier and the second identifier are different, the main control module 120 generates a pause command, which instructs the cleaning device 100 to stop working.
[0104] In this embodiment, the first identifier of the cleaning module 210 can be understood as the first identifier of the brush head. The identification module 320 can read the information of the brush head, such as the number of the brush head, through the sensing chip embedded in the brush head. Similarly, the identification module 320 can read the information of the brush head, such as the number of the handle 220, through the sensing chip embedded in the handle 220. When the first identifier and the second identifier read by the identification module 320 are the same, an identification pass command is generated and sent to the main control module 120. The pass command indicates that the cleaning module 210 and the handle 220 are used by the same user. The main control module 120 can generate a power-on command according to the identification pass command. The power-on command is used to instruct the cleaning device 100, such as a toothbrush, to be powered on.
[0105] In this embodiment, the identity recognition module 320 can recognize the user's identity information, thus avoiding damage to the oral cavity caused by changing to a commonly used brush head.
[0106] During the process of using the cleaning device 100 to clean the mouth, the user cannot perceive the area of the mouth being cleaned or whether there are any uncleaned areas.
[0107] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device 100 further includes, for example, Figure 2Information feedback modules 330 are used to indicate the current cleaning area. These modules are electrically connected to the main control module 120 and are embedded in the handle 220.
[0108] The information feedback module 330 includes at least one of the following: display screen, LED light, speaker, buzzer and vibration motor.
[0109] The display screen can show the oral cavity areas cleaned by the brush head, the oral cavity areas being cleaned, and the oral cavity areas not cleaned. The LED lights can use different colors to indicate the oral cavity areas being cleaned. The speaker can also directly announce the oral cavity areas being cleaned. The buzzer and vibration motor emit a buzzer or vibration when the main control unit confirms the existence of an uncleaned oral cavity area based on the target information in the above embodiment.
[0110] To facilitate users' viewing of oral care feedback and to enable oral healthcare professionals to study users' cleaning habits based on their oral cleaning data, the main control module 120 may optionally also generate cleaning reports based on the cleaning areas. The cleaning device 100 may also include, for example, […]. Figure 2 The wireless communication module 340 is electrically connected to the main control module 120 and is embedded in the handle 220.
[0111] The main control module 120 is also used to send cleaning reports to devices connected to the cleaning device 100 via the wireless communication module 340.
[0112] The communication method between the wireless communication module 340 and the devices connected to the cleaning device 100 includes at least one of 3G, 4G, 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth and ZigBee, and the connected devices include servers and mobile terminals.
[0113] In summary, the cleaning device provided in this application embodiment monitors the initial information of the cleaning device through a cleaning area identification module, and then determines the target information based on the initial information through a main control module. The main control module can then determine the cleaning area in the oral cavity based on the target information. The main control module can accurately determine the cleaning area in the oral cavity based on the target information, which can correctly guide the user to perform daily oral cleaning effectively and comprehensively. Furthermore, the cleaning report of the cleaning device is sent to the user or oral healthcare staff through a wireless communication module, which makes it convenient for the user or oral healthcare staff to improve poor oral cleaning habits based on the cleaning report.
[0114] Corresponding to the cleaning device described above, this application also provides a system for identifying the cleaning area. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 , Figure 5This application provides a functional module diagram of a clean area identification system. The system includes a cleaning device and a server. The cleaning device includes:
[0115] The cleaning area identification module 510 is used to monitor the initial information of the cleaning device 500;
[0116] The main control module 520 is used to determine the target information based on the initial information, determine the cleaning area based on the target information, and generate a cleaning report based on the cleaning area.
[0117] The wireless communication module 530 is used to synchronize the cleaning report to the server according to the instructions of the main control module.
