[0043] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an oral cleaning device according to an oral cleaning device control method provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present specification is shown. Figure 1As shown, the oral cleaning device 100 includes a host 110 and a handle 120, and the host 110 includes an adjustment component 140. The host 110 and the handle 120 can communicate wirelessly through the wireless communication component 130. The host 110 can send a control signal to the handle 120 through the wireless communication component 130. The handle 120 can receive the control signal sent by the host 110 through the wireless communication component 130. The handle 120 can control the brushing mode operating parameters of the oral cleaning device based on the control signal to achieve gear adjustment of the brushing mode. The adjustment component 140 controls the operation of the motor in the handle 120 by wireless communication, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the brushing mode operating parameters of the oral cleaning device. Improve the simplicity of gear adjustment of the oral cleaning device.

[0044] The host 110 includes a fluid reservoir for storing fluid, which is usually large in size and can be placed on a countertop when in use. The handle 120 is used to interact with the user's oral cavity, and the bristles vibrate at high frequency or output high-pressure water flow to clean the user's oral cavity. It is generally in the shape of an elongated cylinder and has a small volume. The handle 120 is detachably connected to the host 110 through a fluid connector, which can enhance the flexibility of use, allowing the handle 120 to play an integrated flushing function when connected to the host 110, or to be used alone in a separated state. In order to improve the portability of the handle 120, the handle 120 has a miniaturization requirement, but the host 110 placed on the countertop does not have this requirement. The adjustment component 140 that controls the internal power component of the handle 120 is arranged on the host 110, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the handle 120. In addition, without being limited by the volume, the adjustment component 140 can be optionally set as a knob, which can provide more gear options compared to a button, has strong perceptibility, and is more intuitive to control. The knob can be engraved with corresponding marks around it, or the knob can be integrated with a display unit to provide convenience for users. The handle 120 may only be provided with a button for starting and closing the power component inside the handle 120 .

[0045] In this specification, a method for controlling an oral cleaning device is provided. This specification also relates to an oral cleaning device, a computing device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which are described in detail one by one in the following embodiments.

[0046] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for controlling an oral cleaning device provided according to an embodiment of the present specification is shown. The oral cleaning device includes a main unit and a handle. The main unit includes an adjustment component. Specifically, the method includes the following steps.

[0047] Step 202: Determine a current cleaning mode in response to a control signal of the adjustment component;

[0048] Step 204: When the current cleaning mode is the toothbrushing mode, the control signal is sent to the handle via the wireless communication component, and the handle controls the toothbrushing mode operating parameters of the oral cleaning device based on the control signal.

[0049] Specifically, the host is the core control component of the oral cleaning device, which has a built-in host power supply and fluid system; the handle is the user oral interaction component of the oral cleaning device, which has a built-in handle battery, handle motor, etc. One end of the handle is equipped with an oral cleaning brush head to realize the function of brushing teeth. The adjustment component is used to adjust the brushing gear when brushing teeth by rotating, long pressing or clicking. The control signal is the signal generated after the adjustment component is rotated, long pressed or clicked. The cleaning mode includes brushing mode and flushing mode. In brushing mode, the oral cleaning brush head connected to the handle will realize the brushing function. The wireless communication component is used to realize wireless communication between the host and the handle. The brushing mode operating parameters can be the frequency of the vibration of the oral cleaning brush head in the brushing mode, and can also be the direction, amplitude, time and other parameters of the vibration of the oral cleaning brush head in the brushing mode.

[0050] Based on this, the adjustment component can be adjusted by the user. When the user adjusts the adjustment component, the host receives the control signal of the adjustment component. The current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is determined based on the control signal. When it is determined based on the control signal that the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is the brushing mode, the control signal is sent to the handle through the wireless communication component between the host and the handle. The handle controls the operating parameters of the brushing mode of the oral cleaning device based on the control signal to achieve gear adjustment of the brushing mode of the oral cleaning device. The gear adjustment of the brushing mode can be a change in a single operating parameter in the brushing mode, or it can be a change in multiple operating parameters at the same time. The brushing mode operating parameters include but are not limited to the frequency, direction, amplitude, and time of the brush head vibration.

[0051] For example, the oral cleaning device may be an all-in-one flushing machine, which has at least two cleaning modes: brushing teeth and flushing teeth. When the user adjusts the adjustment component, a control signal is generated. After the control signal is generated, the current cleaning mode of the all-in-one flushing machine can be determined based on the control signal. If it is a brushing mode, the gear position of the brushing mode can be adjusted by controlling the operating parameters of the brushing mode.

[0052] In summary, the adjustment component controls the operation of the motor in the handle by wireless communication, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the operating parameters of the toothbrushing mode of the oral cleaning device and improving the convenience of adjusting the gear position of the oral cleaning device.

[0053] Furthermore, when the current cleaning mode is the teeth flushing mode, the operating parameters of the teeth flushing mode of the oral cleaning device are controlled.

[0054] Specifically, in the tooth flushing mode, the oral cleaning brush head of the oral cleaning device has a built-in fluid channel, which achieves the purpose of cleaning the oral cavity by spraying water on the areas in the oral cavity that need to be cleaned. The operating parameters of the tooth flushing mode correspond to the gear position of the oral cleaning device in the tooth flushing mode. The operating parameters of the tooth flushing mode can be the frequency of the water pump motor of the oral cleaning device in the tooth flushing mode, and can also be the pressure, flow rate and other parameters of the water flow sprayed from the oral cleaning nozzle in the tooth flushing mode. The gear adjustment of the tooth flushing mode can be the change of a single operating parameter in the tooth flushing mode, or it can be the change of multiple operating parameters at the same time. The operating parameters of the tooth flushing mode include but are not limited to the flow rate, power, efficiency, speed, and duty cycle of the water pump component.

[0055] Based on this, when the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is the tooth flushing mode, the operating parameters of the tooth flushing mode of the oral cleaning device can be adjusted to adjust the gear position of the tooth flushing mode.

[0056] Continuing with the above example, the cleaning mode of the current oral cleaning device is determined based on the control signal. If the oral cleaning device is currently in the teeth flushing mode, the gear position of the teeth flushing mode is adjusted by controlling the operating parameters of the teeth flushing mode.

[0057] In summary, when the current oral cleaning device is in the tooth flushing mode, the operating parameters of the tooth flushing mode of the oral cleaning device are controlled to achieve gear adjustment of the tooth flushing mode, thereby improving the convenience of gear adjustment of the oral cleaning device.

[0058] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes an input component and an operating component. The host performs state detection on the operating component based on user input received by the input component, and performs phase detection on the operating component when the operating component is in a rotational state; the rotation direction of the operating component is determined based on the phase detection result, and the cleaning gear of the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is adjusted according to the rotation direction.

[0059] Specifically, the input component may be a knob of the oral cleaning device, and the user can change the cleaning gear of the cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device by rotating the knob; the operating component may be an encoder in the oral cleaning device, and the state of the encoder can reflect the operating state of the oral cleaning device. When the encoder is in an idle state, it means that the encoder is currently in a low-power state, and the oral cleaning device is not started at this time, or is in a standby state. When the knob is rotated, the encoder is awakened and switches from an idle state to a rotating state. Phase detection is a detection of the terminal level of the encoder. The purpose of the detection is to determine whether the current terminal level is consistent with the last detection. If it is consistent, it means that the encoder is not rotating. If it is inconsistent, it means that the encoder is rotating. The direction of rotation can be forward rotation or reverse rotation (reverse).

[0060] Based on this, the adjustment component includes an input component and an operation component. The user can submit user input to the host through the input component. The host performs state detection on the operation component based on the user input to detect whether the operation component is in a rotating state. When the operation component is detected to be in a rotating state, the operation component is further phase detected. The rotation direction of the operation component is determined based on the phase detection result, and the cleaning gear of the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is adjusted according to the rotation direction. If the current cleaning mode is the brushing mode, the gear of the brushing mode can be adjusted. If the current cleaning mode is the flushing mode, the gear of the flushing mode can be adjusted.

[0061] Continuing with the above example, when the input component is a knob installed on the host and the operating component is an encoder in the host, the user can submit user input to the host by rotating the knob. When the host receives the user input, it detects the state of the encoder. When it is determined that the encoder is rotating, it further performs phase detection on the corresponding phase of the encoder. The rotation direction of the encoder can be determined based on the phase detection result, and the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device can be adjusted to upshift or downshift based on the rotation direction.

[0062] In summary, the host detects the state of the operating component based on the user input, and further detects the phase of the operating component when the operating component is in a rotating state. The rotation direction of the operating component can be determined based on the phase detection result, and the upshift and downshift adjustment of the cleaning gear of the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device can be determined according to the rotation direction, making it easier for users to operate the oral cleaning device.

[0063] Further, determining that the operating component is in a rotating state includes:

[0064] Determine a first terminal and a second terminal included in the operating component, the first terminal includes a first initial phase and a first target phase, and the second terminal includes a second initial phase and a second target phase; when the first initial phase and the first target phase are different, or the second initial phase and the second target phase are different, determine that the operating component is in a rotating state.

[0065] Specifically, the operating component refers to an encoder, and the first terminal and the second terminal are both terminals included in the encoder. The first target phase refers to the phase result obtained by performing phase detection on the first terminal at the current detection moment, and the first initial phase refers to the phase result obtained by the last detection of the first terminal corresponding to the current detection moment. The second target phase refers to the phase result obtained by performing phase detection on the second terminal at the current detection moment, and the second initial phase refers to the phase result obtained by the last two detections of the second terminal corresponding to the current detection moment.

[0066] Based on this, the first terminal and the second terminal included in the operating component are determined. The first initial phase and the first target phase of the first terminal, and the second initial phase and the second target phase of the second terminal are determined; when the first initial phase and the first target phase are different, or the second initial phase and the second target phase are different, it is determined that the operating component is in a rotating state. On the contrary, when the first initial phase and the first target phase are the same, and the second initial phase and the second target phase are the same, it is determined that the operating component is not in a rotating state.

[0067] Using the above example, when judging whether the operating component is in a rotating state, it can be determined based on the phase change of the first terminal and the second terminal included in the operating component. When the current level of any one of the first terminal and the second terminal is inconsistent with the level collected last time, it can be determined that the encoder is in a rotating state.

[0068] In summary, by detecting the phases of the first terminal and the second terminal, it is determined whether the operating component is in a rotating state, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of state judgment.

[0069] Furthermore, considering that the operating component includes a first terminal and a second terminal, phase detection can be performed on the terminals included in the operating component in sequence, which is specifically implemented as follows: determine whether the first initial phase and the first target phase are the same; if not, determine that the operating component is in a rotation state; if so, when the second initial phase and the second target phase are different, determine that the operating component is in a rotation state.

[0070] Based on this, when determining whether the state of the operating component is a rotational state, it can be determined first whether the first initial phase and the first target phase are the same. If the first initial phase and the first target phase are different, it indicates that the phase of the first terminal has changed, and it is determined that the operating component is in a rotational state; if the first initial phase and the first target phase are the same, it indicates that the phase of the first terminal has not changed; then determine whether the second terminal has a phase change. If the second initial phase and the second target phase are different, it indicates that the second terminal has a phase change, and it is determined that the operating component is in a rotational state.

[0071] In summary, the first terminal and the second terminal are used as the judgment conditions for the state of the operating component. The judgment can be first made based on the first terminal, and then an auxiliary judgment can be made based on the second terminal, thereby improving the accuracy of the judgment of the state of the operating component.

[0072] Furthermore, considering that the phase of the operating component terminal jitters when it first changes, it is necessary to detect the phase change of the terminal when the phase of the terminal is stable, which is specifically implemented as follows:

[0073] When the operating component is in a rotating state, a phase stability detection is performed on the terminal of the operating component; when the phase of the terminal is stable, a phase change detection is performed on the terminal.

[0074] Based on this, when the operating component is in a rotating state, the terminal of the operating component is tested for phase stability. The detection duration is determined, and if the level of the terminal remains stable within the detection duration, it is considered that the phase of the terminal is stable. When the phase of the terminal is stable, the terminal continues to be tested for phase changes.

[0075] Continuing with the above example, when it is determined that the encoder is in a rotating state, 50ms (milliseconds) is determined as the terminal detection duration. When it is detected that the level of the encoder terminal remains stable within 50ms, the phase of the terminal is considered to be stable, and the phase change detection of the terminal can continue.

[0076] In summary, when the phase of the terminal is stable, the phase change detection of the terminal is performed to improve the accuracy of the detection result.

[0077] Furthermore, considering that the operating component can rotate, different rotation directions correspond to different terminal phase changes. Therefore, by detecting the terminal with phase change, the rotation direction of the operating component can be determined, which is specifically implemented as follows:

[0078] In the first detection stage, phase detection is performed on the terminals of the operating component to determine whether the first terminal has a phase change in the first detection stage; if so, determine that the rotation direction of the operating component is forward rotation; if not, determine that the rotation direction of the operating component is reverse rotation.

[0079] Specifically, the first detection phase refers to the time period for detecting phase changes of the first terminal and the second terminal, and the phases of the first terminal and the second terminal may change successively in the first detection phase. The rotation direction of the operating component can be determined according to the order in which the phase changes occur.

[0080] Based on this, phase detection is performed on the terminals of the operating component in the first detection stage to determine whether the first terminal has a phase change in the first detection stage; if the first terminal has a phase change in the first detection stage, the rotation direction of the operating component is determined to be forward rotation; if the first terminal is not the first terminal, that is, the second terminal has a phase change, the rotation direction of the operating component is determined to be reverse rotation.

[0081] Using the above example, a detection time period is determined, and the phase change of the first terminal is detected within this detection time period. When it is determined that the first terminal to undergo a phase change within the detection time period is the first terminal, it is determined that the encoder is rotating in the forward direction. When it is determined that the first terminal to undergo a phase change within the detection time period is not the first terminal, that is, the second terminal to undergo a phase change, it is determined that the encoder is rotating in the reverse direction.

[0082] In summary, the rotation direction of the operating component can be determined by detecting the phase change of the first terminal, and the rotation direction of the operating component can be judged efficiently.

[0083] Furthermore, the rotation direction of the operating component corresponds to the adjustment of the cleaning gear of the oral cleaning device, which is specifically implemented as follows:

[0084] When the rotation direction is forward rotation, the cleaning gear of the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is adjusted to an increased gear; when the rotation direction is reverse rotation, the cleaning gear of the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is adjusted to a decreased gear.

[0085] Based on this, when the rotation direction is forward, the cleaning gear of the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is adjusted to an increased gear; when the rotation direction is reverse, the cleaning gear of the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is adjusted to a decreased gear. When the rotation direction is forward and the current cleaning mode is the teeth brushing mode, the gear of the teeth brushing mode is adjusted to an increased gear; when the rotation direction is reverse and the current cleaning mode is the teeth brushing mode, the gear of the teeth brushing mode is adjusted to a decreased gear; when the rotation direction is forward and the current cleaning mode is the teeth flushing mode, the gear of the teeth brushing mode is adjusted to an increased gear; when the rotation direction is reverse and the current cleaning mode is the teeth flushing mode, the gear of the teeth brushing mode is adjusted to a decreased gear.

[0086] Using the above example, when the encoder is determined to be rotating in the forward direction, if the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is determined to be the tooth brushing mode, the gear position of the tooth brushing mode is adjusted to an increased gear; if the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is determined to be the tooth flushing mode, the gear position of the tooth flushing mode is adjusted to an increased gear. When the encoder is rotating in the reverse direction, if the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is determined to be the tooth brushing mode, the gear position of the tooth brushing mode is adjusted to a decreased gear; if the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is determined to be the tooth flushing mode, the gear position of the tooth flushing mode is adjusted to a decreased gear.

[0087] In summary, according to the rotation direction of the operating component, the cleaning gear of the current cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is adjusted to an increased gear or a decreased gear, thereby simplifying the gear adjustment method of the oral operating device.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present specification, a method for controlling an oral cleaning device is provided. The oral cleaning device includes a main unit and a handle. The main unit includes an adjustment component: in response to a control signal of the adjustment component, the current cleaning mode is determined; when the current cleaning mode is a tooth brushing mode, the control signal is sent to the handle through a wireless communication component, and the handle controls the tooth brushing mode operating parameters of the oral cleaning device based on the control signal to achieve gear adjustment of the tooth brushing mode. The adjustment component controls the operation of the motor in the handle through wireless communication to improve the convenience of gear adjustment of the oral cleaning device.

[0089] Corresponding to the above method embodiment, this specification also provides an oral cleaning device embodiment, Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of an oral cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present specification. Figure 3 As shown, the oral cleaning device 300 includes a host 310 and a handle 320; the host 310 includes a fluid reservoir, a pump fluidly connected to the fluid reservoir, a host wireless communication component, and one or more adjustment components communicating with the host wireless communication component; the handle 320 includes a first motor and a handle wireless communication component; the host wireless communication component is used to transmit a control signal from one or more adjustment components to the handle 320 through the handle wireless communication component to adjust the operating parameters of the first motor. The host wireless communication component and the one or more adjustment components can communicate through an electrical connection.

[0090] In this embodiment, the host realizes the oral care function by running the pump to transport the fluid stored in the fluid reservoir to the oral care head (brush head or punch head) of the handle. One end of the handle is equipped with an oral care head, and the other end is connected to the host through a fluid connection tube. The oral cleaning device integrates the brushing function and the flushing function, and can automatically switch the cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device according to the time when the user uses the oral cleaning device. When the user starts the oral cleaning device, the cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device is the brushing mode. During the operation of the oral cleaning device in the brushing mode, the user can adjust the gear of the brushing mode of the oral cleaning device by adjusting the knob on the host. By rotating the knob forward (clockwise), the gear can be increased, and by rotating it reversely (counterclockwise), the gear can be decreased. The duration of the brushing mode can be customized by the user. When the brushing lasts for up to 2 minutes, the brushing mode can be automatically converted to the flushing mode. One end of the handle is equipped with an oral care head, and the other end is connected to the host through a fluid connection tube. The host runs the pump to transport the fluid stored in the fluid reservoir to the oral care head (brush head, integrated flushing head or tooth flushing head) of the handle to achieve the purpose of tooth flushing. When the oral cleaning device is running in tooth flushing mode, the user can adjust the gear of the oral cleaning device in tooth flushing mode by adjusting the knob on the host. By rotating the knob forward (clockwise), the gear can be increased, and by rotating it reversely (counterclockwise), the gear can be decreased. Of course, the cleaning mode of the oral cleaning device can also be automatically switched according to user input.

[0094] The above is a schematic scheme of an oral cleaning device of this embodiment. It should be noted that the technical scheme of the oral cleaning device and the technical scheme of the above-mentioned oral cleaning device control method belong to the same concept, and the details of the technical scheme of the oral cleaning device that are not described in detail can be referred to the description of the technical scheme of the above-mentioned oral cleaning device control method.

[0095] The following combination Figure 4 Taking the application of the oral cleaning device control method provided in this specification in the control of the oral cleaning device as an example, the oral cleaning device control method is further described. Figure 4 A processing flow chart of an oral cleaning device control method provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown.

[0096] In the case where the oral cleaning device is an all-in-one flushing machine, the water flosser has the functions of both brushing and flushing. The water flosser includes a main unit and a handle, one end of which is connected to a flushing brush head with integrated bristles and a nozzle, which can realize the functions of flushing and brushing. Of course, the handle can also be detachably connected to the brush head or nozzle. A knob is provided on the main unit, and the user can adjust the brushing gear or the flushing gear by rotating the knob when using the all-in-one flushing machine.

[0097] The main unit in the oral cleaning device can control the water pump motor in the main unit and / or the sonic motor in the handle to update the gear position. Figure 4 As shown, the oral cleaning device is initialized at the beginning. Determine whether the encoder is in idle state. After the encoder enters low power consumption, it is in idle state by default. After the encoder is awakened by rotating the knob on the host, the encoder will switch to rotation state. When the encoder is in idle state, determine whether the level of terminal A is consistent with the previous level. If not, it means that the level of terminal A has changed, and the first changed terminal is terminal A. At this time, the state of the encoder can be switched to rotation state; if the level of terminal A is consistent with the previous level, it means that the level of terminal A has not changed, and continue to determine whether the level of terminal B is consistent with the previous level. If not, it means that the level of terminal B has changed, and the first changed terminal is terminal B. At this time, the state of the encoder can be switched to rotation state.

[0098] When the encoder is determined to be in a rotating state, it is determined whether the level remains stable for 50ms. If not, the state of the encoder is re-determined until it is detected that the level remains stable for 50ms. When the level remains stable for 50ms, it is determined whether the first terminal that changes is terminal A. If so, it is determined that the encoder rotates forward once and the gear position increases by one; if not, it is determined that the encoder rotates backward once and the gear position decreases by one. When it is determined that the encoder rotates forward and the gear position increases by one, it is determined whether the current oral cleaning device is in a brushing mode. If not, the gear position of the flushing teeth is increased by one, that is, the operating parameters of the water pump motor in the host are adjusted to adjust the water output of the water pump and the pressure or flow rate of the water flow sprayed from the handle; if it is a brushing mode, the brushing gear is increased by one, and the information of the gear position increase by one is sent to the handle through the 2.4GHZ communication module. A 2.4GHZ communication module is installed on each of the host and the handle. After the handle receives the signal sent by the host, it adjusts the operating parameters of the sonic motor in the handle to increase the gear position by one. Of course, the 2.4GHZ communication module can also be replaced by other short-range wireless communication modules, such as wifi, Bluetooth, and NFC. When it is determined that the encoder's forward gear position is reduced by one, it is determined whether the current oral cleaning device is in brushing mode. If not, the teeth-brushing gear position is reduced by one. If it is in brushing mode, the brushing gear position is reduced by one, and the gear position information is sent to the handle through the 2.4GHZ communication module. A 2.4GHZ communication module is installed on each of the host and the handle. The handle receives the signal sent by the host and then reduces the gear position by one.

[0099] The integrated toothbrush combines the functions of tooth flushing and tooth brushing. The handle can be equipped with only one switch button for turning on and off the power component in the handle. The tooth brushing gear or the power component in the handle is adjusted by the knob on the main unit. There are many adjustable gears, and the adjustment method is simple and intuitive, which is also conducive to the miniaturization and portability of the handle. The integrated toothbrush can meet the needs of users for brushing and tooth flushing, and the handle can be separated from the main unit and used as an electric toothbrush.
