Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present specification relate to the field of oral care technology, and more particularly to oral care equipment and an oral care equipment control method. Background Art

[0002] In oral care devices, encoders (such as rotary encoders) are usually connected to a host (such as a microcontroller or processor) directly or through a simple interface. When the user operates the encoder (such as rotating a knob), the encoder will continuously or instantly generate a signal to notify the host to perform the corresponding operation.

[0003] In the above scheme, the host will continue to be in working state without user operation to ensure that the signal is generated in time when the user operates the encoder. However, the continuous working state of the host will cause the battery power of the oral care device to drop rapidly, and the power consumption of the oral care device will be large. Therefore, a low-power oral care device control solution is urgently needed. Summary of the invention

[0018] Many specific details are described in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of this specification. However, this specification can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of this specification, so this specification is not limited to the specific implementation disclosed below.

[0019] The terms used in one or more embodiments of this specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit one or more embodiments of this specification. The singular forms of "a", "said" and "the" used in one or more embodiments of this specification and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used in one or more embodiments of this specification refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0020] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc. may be used to describe various information in one or more embodiments of this specification, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of one or more embodiments of this specification, the first may also be referred to as the second, and similarly, the second may also be referred to as the first. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0021] First, the terms involved in one or more embodiments of this specification are explained.

[0022] Microcontroller Unit (MCU): It is a microcomputer system on a single chip that integrates a central processing unit (CPU), memory, timer / counter, multiple input / output interfaces (I nput / Output) and other peripheral functions. In electronic devices and embedded systems, MCU plays the role of core control, responsible for processing data calculation, logic control, signal processing and communication with peripheral devices in the system.

[0023] Rotary Encoder with Knob: An electromechanical component commonly used in control devices to adjust settings such as volume, brightness, channel selection, etc. It allows the user to send control signals by rotating a physical knob, thereby achieving precise and continuous data input. The basic working principle of a rotary encoder involves two (or more) contacts or optocouplers that periodically contact or change state as the knob is rotated, generating changes in electrical signals.

[0024] MOS (Meta l-Oxide-Semiconductor) switch: refers to an electronic switch that uses a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) as a basic component. The working principle of the MOS switch is based on the capacitance effect. When an appropriate voltage is applied to the gate, the conductivity of the channel area can be changed, thereby controlling the flow of current between the source and the drain. If the gate voltage exceeds a certain threshold, the channel will be formed or enhanced, allowing current to flow from the source to the drain, and the MOSFET is in the on state. Conversely, if the gate voltage is lower than the threshold, the channel is non-conductive or very weak, and the current hardly flows, and the MOSFET is in the off state.

[0025] In this specification, an oral care device is provided. This specification also relates to an oral care device control method and an oral care device control device, which are described in detail one by one in the following embodiments.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of an oral care device provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown, the oral care device includes a host 102, the host 102 includes a control component 1022 and a switch component 1024, and the control component 1022 is electrically connected to the switch component 1024;

[0027] The control component 1022 is used to send a switch control signal to the switch component 1024 through the electrical connection between the switch component 1024, wherein the switch control signal is used to control the component state of the switch component 1024, and the component state includes a truncation state and a conduction state.

[0028] Specifically, oral care equipment refers to various appliances and tools used to maintain and promote oral hygiene, prevent oral diseases, and assist in oral treatment. Oral care equipment can be divided into different types based on their functions, such as oral cleaning equipment and oral treatment equipment. Oral cleaning equipment includes but is not limited to electric toothbrushes, mouthwash dispensers, irrigators, and integrated irrigating devices.

[0029] The host refers to the control unit or power source that is the core part of the oral care device. The host is used to provide the oral care device with the necessary energy (such as electricity) and / or control signals to drive the oral care device to complete the corresponding operations. For example, in an electric toothbrush, the host has a built-in motor and battery, and sometimes also includes an intelligent control system. The motor drives the brush head to vibrate or rotate, and the battery provides power to the motor. The intelligent control system may include a timer, pressure sensor, etc. to enhance the brushing experience and effect. For another example, in a water flosser, the host has a built-in fluid reservoir (such as a water tank), a pump and a battery. The pump draws the fluid (such as water) from the fluid reservoir and pressurizes it to form an impact fluid, which is flushed through the fluid outlet (such as a nozzle) to flush the gaps between the teeth.

[0030] The control component refers to the microcontroller unit in the oral care device. The switch component refers to the MOS switch in the oral care device. The switch component can control the host to be turned on or off, and at the same time, it can also control the operating components in the oral care device to be in working or non-working state. In the cut-off state, the switch component can be regarded as an open circuit, presenting high impedance to the current in the circuit, preventing the current from flowing. In the on state, the switch component presents low resistance, allowing the current to flow freely according to the external circuit conditions.

[0031] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of a switch assembly in an oral care device provided by an embodiment of the present specification, such as Figure 2 As shown, the switch component includes two resistors (R1 and R2) and a MOSFET, wherein the MOSFET has three electrodes, namely, the gate (G), the source (S), and the drain (D). The resistance of R1 is greater than that of R2, for example, R1 = 100K, R2 = 10K. The switch component can use MOSFET as a switch, and control the high / low level state of the low power enable node (Low_power_V3.0V_EN) through the MCU to achieve the cutoff and conduction between the control voltage source (V3.0V) and the low power voltage source (Low_power_V3.0V). The following is the workflow of this circuit:

[0032] Initial state: When the low power enable node is at a high level or in a high-resistance state, since the gate-source voltage is lower than the MOS conduction threshold voltage, the MOSFET is in the cut-off state, that is, its resistance is very high, so current cannot flow through the MOSFET.

[0033] Turn on the power supply: When the low power enable node gets a low level, the gate-source voltage of the MOSFET is greater than the threshold voltage of the MOS conduction, and the MOSFET becomes the on state. In this state, the resistance of the MOSFET becomes very small, allowing current to flow from the voltage source to the low power voltage source.

[0034] Power supply: After turning on the power supply, the low-power voltage source obtains a stable voltage, which indicates that the power supply is turned on. This voltage can be used to drive other low-power circuits or components (such as operating components) to work.

[0035] Turn off the power supply: When the voltage of the low-power enable node is high or in a high-resistance state, the MOSFET will return to the cut-off state, cutting off the power supply, causing the low-power voltage source to lose power, thereby achieving energy saving.

[0036] By applying the solution of the embodiments of this specification, a switch component is added to the main unit, and a switch control signal is sent from the control component to the switch component, so that the switch component is in a truncated state and a conductive state. This realizes the precise opening and closing of the power supply to certain low-power components (such as operating components) through the control of the control component, thereby optimizing the overall energy consumption of the system. In addition, the main unit is turned on or off by cooperating with the switch component and the control component, thereby avoiding the main unit being in the on state for a long time, thereby reducing the power consumption of the oral care device.

[0037] In an optional embodiment of this specification, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of another oral care device provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown, the oral care device includes a host 102, the host 102 includes a control component 1022, a switch component 1024 and an operating component 1026; the operating component 1026 is electrically connected to the switch component 1024; the control component 1022 is electrically connected to the switch component 1024, the control component 1022 is used to send a switch control signal to the switch component 1024 through the electrical connection between the control component 1024 and the switch component 1024; the operating component 1026 is electrically connected to the control component 1022; that is, the host 102 also includes an operating component 1026, the operating component 1026 is electrically connected to the control component 1022; the operating component 1026 is used to send a trigger signal to the control component 1022 through the electrical connection between the control component 1022, wherein the trigger signal is a signal sent by the operating component 1026 in response to a user operation.

[0038] Specifically, the operating component refers to a component provided to the user for operation in the oral care device, such as a knob encoder, a touch component, etc., which is set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of this specification do not impose any restrictions on this. When the user performs an operation on the operating component (such as pressing a button or rotating a button), the operating component generates a trigger signal. The trigger signal can be an edge signal (rising or falling). An edge signal is a transient signal, which usually indicates a change in state (such as an instantaneous change from non-rotation to rotation), and is used to inform the control component that the user is performing an operation. Based on the different operations of the user, the control component can interpret the trigger signal and respond accordingly, such as adjusting the cleaning mode, intensity, etc.

[0039] By applying the solution of the embodiment of this specification, user-friendly and adjustable oral care is achieved through integrated control components, switch components and operating components. The oral care device can flexibly adjust the working mode according to the user's immediate needs through electrical connection and signal transmission mechanism, thereby improving the convenience and personalization of use.

[0040] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of an operating component in an oral care device provided by an embodiment of the present specification, such as Figure 4 As shown, the operating component can control the cutoff and conduction between the voltage source and the low-power voltage source. The operating component includes two power input terminals, four resistors, two encoding channels and a knob encoder. The two power input terminals are power input terminal 1 (V3.0V) and power input terminal 2 (Low_power_V3.0V), and the power input terminals are used to provide the working voltage of the knob encoder. The four resistors are R3, R4, R5 and R6, and the resistors are used to limit the current of the knob encoder and adjust the circuit performance, wherein the resistance value of R3 is greater than the resistance value of R4, and the resistance value of R5 is greater than the resistance value of R6, for example, R3 = 200K, R4 = 4.7K, R5 = 200K, and R6 = 4.7K. The two encoding channels are encoding channel 1 (pulse1_encoder) and encoding channel 2 (pulse2_encoder), and the encoding channels are used to generate pulse sequences to indicate the rotation direction and speed of the knob encoder. The ground wire (GND, Ground) of the knob encoder includes three pins, which are pin A, pin B and pin C.

[0041] It should be noted that when the user performs different operations on the operating component, the three pins in the rotary encoder will be in different connection states. For example, when the rotary encoder is in the working state, pin A and pin B are connected to pin C respectively, and when the rotary encoder is in the non-working state, pin A and pin B are disconnected from pin C respectively. For another example, when the rotary encoder is in working state 1, pin A is connected to pin C, and pin B is disconnected from pin C; when the rotary encoder is in working state 2, pin A is disconnected from pin C, and pin B is connected to pin C; when the rotary encoder is in working state 3, pin A and pin B are connected to pin C respectively.

[0042] In an optional embodiment of the present specification, the control component is also used to send a first switch control signal to the switch component through the electrical connection between the switch component when a trigger signal is received through the electrical connection between the operating component, wherein the first switch control signal is used to control the switch component to be in a conducting state.

[0043] It should be noted that when the control component receives a trigger signal generated by a user operation through an electrical connection with the operating component, the control component will immediately send a first switch control signal to the switch component. The purpose of sending the first switch control signal is to make the switch component switch to the on state, thereby connecting the pull-up power supply to the operating component, waking up the oral care device, and ensuring that the operating component can adjust the gear control normally, thereby realizing ultra-low power consumption operation in the sleep state to wake up the host.

[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present specification, the control component is also used to send a second switch control signal to the switch component through the electrical connection between the switch component when no trigger signal is received through the electrical connection between the operating component within a preset time period, wherein the second switch control signal is used to control the switch component to be in a cut-off state.

[0045] It should be noted that if the user does not operate the operating component within the preset time period, the operating component will not send a trigger signal to the control component within the preset time period. Therefore, the control component can determine that the oral care device can enter the low power consumption mode, that is, the control component sends a second switch control signal to the switch component through the electrical connection between the control component and the switch component. The purpose of sending the second switch control signal is to switch the switch component to the cut-off state, thereby disconnecting the pull-up power supply to the operating component, so that the control component enters the sleep mode or standby state, ensuring that the oral care device maintains extremely low standby power consumption.

[0046] In an optional embodiment of the present specification, the host further comprises an operating component, and the operating component is electrically connected to the control component;

[0047] The operating component is used to send a status control signal to the control component through an electrical connection with the control component, wherein the status control signal is used to control the host status of the host, and the host status includes a startup state and a shutdown state.

[0048] It should be noted that when the switch component is connected to the pull-up power supply to the operating component, the operating component can send a first state control signal to the control component. The purpose of sending the first state control signal is to put the host in a startup state, so as to control the oral care device in response to the operating component; when the switch component is disconnected from the pull-up power supply to the operating component, the operating component can send a second state control signal to the control component. The purpose of sending the second state control signal is to put the host in a shutdown state, thereby ensuring that the oral care device maintains extremely low standby power consumption.

[0049] In an optional embodiment of the present specification, the host further comprises an operating assembly, a first power assembly and a fluid reservoir, and the operating assembly is electrically connected to the first power assembly;

[0050] An operating component, used to send a power control signal to the first power component through an electrical connection with the first power component, wherein the power control signal is used to control the power of the first power component;

[0051] The first power component is used to receive a power control signal through an electrical connection with the operating component; based on the power control signal, the first power component is controlled to pump the fluid stored in the fluid reservoir from the fluid reservoir to the fluid outlet according to preset operating parameters, wherein the preset operating parameters include at least one of water pressure, flow rate and flow rate.

[0052] Specifically, the power assembly can provide the necessary power source for the oral care device to ensure that the oral care device can perform its intended functions, such as cleaning, massage, etc. The first power assembly refers to a motor and pump assembly that drives the fluid. A fluid reservoir is a container or storage component for storing or storing fluid (such as water, mouthwash, cleaning solution or other oral care fluid). The fluid reservoir is used to ensure that the device can continuously or on demand provide fluid during use to assist in completing various oral cleaning or treatment functions. The first power assembly can not only pump the fluid stored in the fluid reservoir from the fluid reservoir to the fluid outlet at preset operating parameters, but also pump the fluid stored in the fluid reservoir from the fluid reservoir to the outside of the oral care device at preset operating parameters. The specific selection is based on the actual situation, and the embodiments of this specification do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0053] It should be noted that after receiving the power control signal, the first power assembly can control the water pressure, flow rate and / or flow rate of the fluid stored in the fluid reservoir flowing out of the first power assembly, so that the fluid flows out from the fluid outlet with different impact intensities. Generally, the pressure of the fluid is proportional to the current working gear of the oral care device. For example, the greater the current working gear, the greater the pressure of the fluid, and the greater the impact intensity when the fluid flows out.

[0054] By applying the solution of the embodiment of this specification, the control component sends a power control signal to the first power component, so that the first power component controls the water pressure, flow rate and / or flow rate of the outflowing fluid based on the power control signal, thereby realizing fluid dynamic control based on the working gear of the oral care device, making the operation of the oral care device more stable and controllable.

[0055] In an optional embodiment of the present specification, the oral care device further comprises a hose and a handle, and the handle comprises a second power assembly and a fluid outlet;

[0056] A host, used for pressurizing the fluid stored in the fluid reservoir so that the fluid enters the handle through the hose after being pressurized;

[0057] The second power assembly has a fluid passage, wherein the fluid passage has an outlet communicated with the fluid outlet and an inlet communicated with the hose.

[0058] Specifically, the handle and the main unit can be optionally connected magnetically. The second power assembly is at least partially accommodated in the handle, and is used to receive an interchangeable care head to perform an oral cleaning operation, wherein the second power assembly includes a drive shaft for receiving an interchangeable care head, a motor configuration for rotating the drive shaft and / or applying a vibration motion to the drive shaft. The second power assembly refers to a motor for driving the brush head to move or as a fluid channel for the fluid to flow through. The hose is used to connect the main unit and the handle so that the fluid in the main unit can enter the handle and flow out through the fluid outlet on the handle. In oral care equipment, since the fluid will directly contact the oral cavity, the main unit usually uses food grade or medical grade materials, such as food grade silicone, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU, Thermop l ast ic Poly lyurethane) or plastics that do not contain bisphenol A (BPA, Bi spheno l A), to ensure that no harmful substances are released during use. The fluid outlet is usually arranged at the end of the care head of the handle, and the care head includes but is not limited to a flushing integrated brush head, a microporous outlet, and a nozzle / spray head.

[0059] Applying the solution of the embodiment of this specification, the oral care device includes a handle connected to the main body fluid, and the handle has a second power component. The fluid pressurized by the main body can enter the handle through a hose and be discharged from the fluid outlet at the upper end of the handle, thereby achieving oral care.

[0060] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flowchart of an oral care device control method provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown. The oral care device control method is applied to a control component in the oral care device. The oral care device includes a control component and a switch component. The control component is electrically connected to the switch component. The oral care device control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 502: Send a switch control signal to the switch component through the electrical connection with the switch component, wherein the switch control signal is used to control the component state of the switch component, and the component state includes a cut-off state and a conducting state.

[0062] It should be noted that the implementation method of step 502 is the same as the working process of the control component in the above-mentioned oral care device, and will not be described in detail in the embodiment of this specification.

[0063] It is worth noting that the oral care device control method proposed in the embodiments of this specification can also be applied to other battery-powered products other than oral care devices and products with knob encoder wake-up.

[0064] By applying the solution of the embodiments of this specification, a switch component is added to the host, and the control component sends a switch control signal to the switch component, so that the switch component is in a truncated state and a conductive state. The switch component and the control component can cooperate to control the opening or closing of the host, and the two states of weak pull-up in the sleep state and strong pull-up in the working state are processed separately, thereby overcoming the high power consumption in the sleep state, maintaining normal gear adjustment in the working state, avoiding the host being in the on state for a long time, and reducing the power consumption of the oral care equipment.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of the present specification, the oral care device further comprises an operating component, and the operating component is electrically connected to the control component; the above-mentioned sending of a switch control signal to the switch component through the electrical connection with the switch component may include the following steps:

[0066] When a trigger signal is received through the electrical connection with the operating component, a first switch control signal is sent to the switch component through the electrical connection with the switch component, wherein the first switch control signal is used to control the switch component to be in an on state, and the trigger signal is a signal sent by the operating component in response to a user operation.

[0067] It should be noted that when the control component receives a trigger signal generated by a user operation through an electrical connection with the operating component, the control component will immediately send a first switch control signal to the switch component, causing the switch component to switch to an on state, thereby connecting the pull-up power supply to the operating component, waking up the oral care device, and ensuring that the operating component can adjust the gear control normally, thereby realizing ultra-low power consumption operation to wake up the host in the sleep state.

[0068] In an optional embodiment of the present specification, the oral care device further comprises an operating component, and the operating component is electrically connected to the control component; the above-mentioned sending of a switch control signal to the switch component through the electrical connection with the switch component may include the following steps:

[0069] When no trigger signal is received through the electrical connection with the operating component within a preset time period, a second switch control signal is sent to the switch component through the electrical connection with the switch component, wherein the second switch control signal is used to control the switch component to be in a cut-off state, and the trigger signal is a signal sent by the operating component in response to a user operation.

[0070] It should be noted that when the control component does not receive a trigger signal through the electrical connection with the operating component within a preset time period, the control component determines that the oral care device can enter a low power consumption mode, that is, the control component sends a second switch control signal to the switch component through the electrical connection with the switch component, so that the switch component is switched to a truncated state, thereby disconnecting the pull-up power supply to the operating component, so that the control component enters a sleep mode or a standby state, thereby ensuring that the oral care device maintains extremely low standby power consumption.

Figure 6 As shown, the device comprises:

[0072] The sending module 602 is configured to send a switch control signal to the switch component through an electrical connection with the switch component, wherein the switch control signal is used to control the component state of the switch component, and the component state includes a cut-off state and a conducting state.

[0073] Optionally, the oral care device also includes an operating component, which is electrically connected to the control component; the sending module 602 is further configured to send a first switch control signal to the switch component through the electrical connection with the switch component when a trigger signal is received through the electrical connection with the operating component, wherein the first switch control signal is used to control the switch component to be in an on state, and the trigger signal is a signal sent by the operating component in response to a user operation.
