Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0047] In the following, the terms "comprise", "have", and their synonymous words used in various embodiments of the present application are only intended to indicate specific features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations of the foregoing, and should not be understood as first excluding the existence or possibility of adding one or more features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations of the foregoing. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for differentiation in description, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] The following will describe some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1It is a structural schematic diagram of an oral care device proposed in the embodiments of the present application. The oral irrigator may, for example, include a memory 11, a processor 12, a sensor unit 13, a cleaning unit 14, and a recovery unit 15, wherein the memory 11, the sensor unit 13, the cleaning unit 14, and the recovery unit 15 are directly or indirectly electrically connected to the processor 12 to implement the control method of the embodiments of the present application, which can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by the residual waste liquid in the oral cavity after cleaning, thereby improving the use experience of the oral care device, and the like.

[0050] In the embodiments, the memory 11 may, but is not limited to, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and the like. The memory 11 is configured to store a computer program, and the processor 12 can execute the computer program correspondingly after receiving an execution instruction.

[0051] In the embodiments, the processor 12 may be an integrated circuit chip with a signal processing capability. The processor 12 may be a general-purpose processor, including at least one of a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), and a network processor (NP), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a ready programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, a discrete gate or transistor logic device, a discrete hardware component, and the like. The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may also be any conventional processor, and the like, which can implement or execute the disclosed methods, steps, and logic block diagrams in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] In the embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The cleaning unit 14 is mainly configured to clean the oral cavity, and the recovery unit 15 is configured to recover the waste liquid after cleaning the teeth. The top of the cleaning unit 14 is further rotatably connected with a brush head 142.

[0053] The oral care device works as follows:

[0054] During the care, the recovery tube 151 is positioned at the corner of the mouth of the person being cared for, the water delivery tube 141 is placed in the oral cavity, the cleaning unit 14 is held by the caregiver to clean, and during the cleaning care, water flows from the water delivery tube 141 into the oral cavity, and there is water accumulation in the oral cavity. The recovery tube 151 works at the same time to recover the water accumulation in the oral cavity, avoiding the trouble of the person being cared for frequently spitting out the waste liquid in the mouth, thereby facilitating the completion of oral care and improving the use effect of the device.

[0055] In this embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 2 The recovery unit 15 is provided with a sensor unit 13, which is used to monitor the water accumulation in the oral cavity of the person being cared for. Specifically, the sensor unit 13 is used to obtain the water accumulation information of the environment where the recovery unit 15 is located. For example, when the water accumulation in the oral cavity is too much, the water accumulation will cover the sensor unit 13, so that the sensor unit 13 sends out a first signal, for example. Specifically, the sensor unit 13 can include but is not limited to photoelectric liquid level sensor, gravity liquid level sensor, etc. Among them, it is preferred to use the photoelectric liquid level sensor to judge whether the water accumulation in the oral cavity covers the sensor unit 13. The photoelectric liquid level sensor is a new type of contact type point liquid level measurement and control device which uses the principle of reflection and refraction of light at the interface of two different media. Its working principle is that the product contains a light emitting tube and a receiver inside. When the water accumulation submerges the lens of the photoelectric liquid level switch, the light is refracted into the water accumulation, so that the receiver cannot receive or can only receive a small amount of light. If there is no liquid, the light emitted by the light emitting tube is directly reflected back to the receiver from the lens. The photoelectric liquid level sensor senses the working condition change to send a corresponding signal.

[0056] Based on the above structure, the embodiment of the application proposes an oral care device control method, which monitors the water level information of the environment where the sensor unit 13 is located in real time, and controls the action of the cleaning unit 14 and / or the recovery unit 15 according to the obtained water level information.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 Exemplarily, the oral care device control method includes the following steps:

[0058] S100: Control the cleaning unit to perform a cleaning action;

[0059] Specifically, the water supply pipe 141 is controlled to spray the cleaning liquid to input the cleaning liquid into the oral cavity to clean the organs in the oral cavity. As a specific embodiment, the top of the cleaning unit 14 is also rotatably connected with a brush head 142. The brush head 142 is controlled to rotate to brush the organs in the oral cavity. The high-pressure water column is sprayed through the water supply pipe 141 to clean the teeth, and the brush head 142 is rotated to brush, so that the diversity of oral cavity cleaning is ensured, and the cleaning effect is avoided to be single.

[0060] S200: controlling the recovery unit to perform a recovery action;

[0061] Specifically, the recovery pipe 151 is controlled to recover the water in the oral cavity to avoid too much water remaining in the oral cavity. It can be understood that the step of performing the recovery action and the step of performing the cleaning action have no sequence, and the two can be performed in parallel.

[0062] S300: obtaining a first signal of the sensor unit;

[0063] Specifically, the sensor unit 13 can detect whether there is water information and generate a corresponding signal.

[0064] In one embodiment, the first signal refers to the information that the sensor unit 13 detects water, that is, the water covers the position of the sensor unit 13, and the sensor unit 13 generates the first signal, so that it can be known that the remaining water in the oral cavity of the cared person is too much.

[0065] S400: in response to the first signal, controlling the cleaning unit to stop performing the cleaning action.

[0066] Specifically, the water supply pipe 141 is controlled to stop inputting the cleaning liquid into the oral cavity.

[0067] It should be noted that the control method of the embodiment is started when the oral care device is started, the cleaning unit 14 is always continuously inputting the cleaning liquid, and at the same time, the recovery pipe of the recovery unit 15 is also continuously recovering the water, and the water supply pipe 141 of the cleaning unit 14 and the recovery pipe 151 of the recovery unit 15 are usually set to a long-time working mode. During the care process, the output of the water supply pipe 141 and the recovery of the recovery pipe 151 may be different, and the water cannot be recovered in time, which causes the cared person to have too much water remaining in the oral cavity, so that the cared person has an uncomfortable experience. The sensor unit 13 is arranged on the recovery unit 15, which can monitor the water in the oral cavity of the cared person in real time. When the sensor unit 13 detects water information, it can be known that the cared person has some water remaining in the oral cavity, and the water remaining in the oral cavity is not prevented from continuing to increase. The application controls the cleaning unit 14 to stop performing the cleaning action, that is, the water supply pipe 141 is controlled to stop inputting the cleaning liquid into the oral cavity, so as to avoid too much water remaining in the oral cavity causing the cared person to be uncomfortable.

[0068] In one embodiment, when the first signal is detected, the working gear of the cleaning unit 14 is reduced, the cleaning unit 14 is controlled to continue the cleaning operation, and if the first signal is continuously detected within a preset time, the cleaning unit 14 is controlled to stop the cleaning operation. In one possible embodiment, when the first signal is detected, the timing is started, if the first signal is continuously detected within the preset time, i.e. the second signal is not detected within the preset time, the cleaning unit 14 is controlled to stop the cleaning operation. In this way, the operation of the oral care device is more intelligently controlled, which can ensure the comfort of the user and ensure the normal operation of the oral care operation.

[0069] Specifically, when the first signal is detected, the spraying amount of the cleaning liquid sprayed by the water supply pipe 141 is reduced, the water supply pipe 141 is controlled to continue spraying the cleaning liquid, and if the first signal is continuously detected within a preset time, the water supply pipe 141 is controlled to stop spraying the cleaning liquid. In this embodiment, different working gears of the cleaning unit 14 are used to spray the cleaning liquid with different power, and the flow rate of the sprayed fluid is also different. For example, in one embodiment, the working gears can be divided into two gears (e.g. high and low gears) or three gears (e.g. low, medium and high gears) according to the flow rate, and there can be more gears, which are not limited herein.

[0070] In one embodiment, the water supply pipe 141 is controlled to spray the cleaning liquid, the brush head 142 is controlled to rotate to perform the cleaning operation, the recovery pipe 151 is controlled to recover the accumulated water to perform the recovery operation, the first signal of the sensor unit 13 is acquired, when the first signal is detected, the spraying amount of the cleaning liquid sprayed by the water supply pipe 141 is reduced, the water supply pipe 141 is controlled to continue spraying the cleaning liquid, and if the first signal is continuously detected within a preset time, the water supply pipe 141 is controlled to stop spraying the cleaning liquid. In this way, the situation of excessive accumulated water in the oral cavity can be avoided, and the user experience can be improved.

[0071] In one embodiment, the sensor unit 13 is arranged on the recovery unit 15, and the position of the sensor unit 13 is higher than the position of the recovery port of the recovery unit 15. Specifically, the position of the sensor unit 13 is higher than the recovery port of the recovery pipe 151, and the recovery pipe 151 recovers the accumulated water from the recovery port. In this way, the oral care device can more accurately acquire the information of the accumulated water in the oral cavity, and the user experience can be improved.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first signal refers to the information that the sensor unit 13 detects water, and the second signal refers to the information that the sensor unit 13 does not detect water. That is, the first signal indicates that the accumulated water covers the position of the sensor unit, which means that there is a large amount of accumulated water in the oral cavity, and the second signal indicates that the accumulated water does not cover the position of the sensor unit 13, which means that there is little or no accumulated water in the oral cavity.

[0073] In one embodiment, after stopping the cleaning unit 14 from performing the cleaning action, the method further comprises: obtaining a second signal from the sensor unit 13, and in response to the second signal, controlling the cleaning unit 14 to continue performing the cleaning action. Specifically, after stopping the cleaning action, the recovery unit 15 continues to work to recover the accumulated water. When there is little or no accumulated water in the oral cavity, the cleaning unit 14 can be started to perform the cleaning action again to ensure that the oral care task is completed normally.

[0074] In one embodiment, when the first signal is detected, the working gear of the recovery unit 15 is adjusted to a higher gear, and the recovery unit 15 is controlled to continue performing the recovery action. In this way, the accumulated water in the oral cavity can be recovered more quickly. Different working gears of the recovery unit 15 can use different powers to recover the accumulated water, and the flow rate of the recovered accumulated water can also be different accordingly. For example, in one embodiment, the working gears can be divided into two gears (e.g., high and low gears) or three gears (e.g., low, medium, and high gears) according to the power, and there can be more gears, which are not limited here.

[0075] In one embodiment, after adjusting the working gear of the recovery unit 15, the method further comprises: obtaining a second signal from the sensor unit 13, and when the first signal is detected, the original working gear of the recovery unit 15 is restored, and the recovery unit 15 is controlled to continue performing the recovery action. When there is little or no accumulated water in the oral cavity, the recovery unit 15 can continue to work at the original gear to improve the comfort of the person being cared for and ensure that the oral care task is completed normally.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, the oral care device control method comprises the following steps:

[0077] S100: controlling the cleaning unit to spray cleaning liquid to perform a cleaning action;

[0078] S200: controlling the recovery unit to recover accumulated water to perform a recovery action;

[0079] S300: obtaining a first signal from the sensor unit;

[0080] S400: in response to the first signal, controlling the cleaning unit to stop performing the cleaning action; and adjusting the working gear of the recovery unit to a higher gear, and controlling the recovery unit to continue performing the recovery action;

[0081] S500: obtaining a second signal from the sensor unit;

[0082] S600: in response to the second signal, controlling the cleaning unit to continue to perform the cleaning action; restoring the original working gear of the recovery unit, and controlling the recovery unit to continue to perform the recovery action.

[0083] The oral care device control method of the embodiment can identify the state of the water accumulation in the oral cavity through the sensing unit, and intelligently adjust the execution action of the cleaning unit according to the state of the water accumulation. When it is determined that the water accumulation in the oral cavity is too much, the input of the cleaning liquid into the oral cavity is stopped, which can avoid the situation that the water accumulation in the oral cavity is too much. When it is determined that the water accumulation in the oral cavity is less or there is no water accumulation, the cleaning unit can be started to perform the cleaning work, which ensures that the care task can be normally completed. Similarly, the execution action of the recovery unit can be intelligently adjusted according to the state of the water accumulation. When it is determined that the water accumulation in the oral cavity is too much, the working gear of the recovery unit for recovering the water accumulation is increased, so that the water accumulation can be recovered faster. When it is determined that the water accumulation in the oral cavity is less or there is no water accumulation, the working gear of the recovery unit can be restored, which improves the comfort of the person being cared for and ensures that the care task can be normally completed.
