[0032] First, the terms involved in one or more embodiments of this specification are explained.

[0033] With the continuous improvement of people's daily life, teeth cleaning has gradually become a matter of concern to people. In terms of teeth cleaning, teeth can generally be cleaned by brushing teeth, flushing teeth, etc.

[0034] In the prior art, oral cleaning devices can only perform a single cleaning operation, such as using an electric toothbrush to brush teeth, or using an oral irrigator to flush teeth. In addition, desktop oral irrigators on the market only have the function of flushing teeth, not brushing teeth. If users need to brush their teeth, they need to configure a toothbrush separately, which results in a poor user experience.

[0035] Based on this, an oral cleaning device is provided in this specification. One or more embodiments of this specification also relate to a control method, a computing device, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program product, which are described in detail one by one in the following embodiments.

[0036] Combination Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an oral cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present specification. One or more embodiments of the present specification provide an oral cleaning device, including:

[0037] The care head 102 is used to contact the area to be cared for and perform the care operation, and the care head 102 includes at least an interchangeable first cleaning attachment 1022 and a second cleaning attachment 1024;

[0038] A gripping portion 104 connected to the care head 102, wherein the care head 102 is disposed at a first end of the gripping portion 104;

[0039] a drive unit at least partially housed in the grip portion 104, for receiving the interchangeable care head 102 to perform an oral cleaning operation, wherein the drive unit includes a drive shaft for receiving the interchangeable care head 102, a motor configuration for rotating the drive shaft and / or applying a vibratory motion to the drive shaft;

[0040] An identification unit provided on the gripping portion 104, for identifying the single care head 102 when the single care head 102 is mounted on the driving shaft;

[0041] a control unit connected to the recognition unit, wherein the control unit controls the oral cleaning device to perform a first oral cleaning operation or a second oral cleaning operation in response to a recognition signal of the recognition unit,

[0042] The first oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the drive unit to operate according to a preset program;

[0043] The second oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the driving unit to not operate.

[0044] Among them, the care head 102 is connected to the holding part 104 and is arranged at the first end of the holding part 104; the care head 102 can be in contact with the area to be cared for, so as to realize the oral care operation for the area to be cleaned, and the care head 102 can be understood as an equipment component for performing oral care. For example, the care head 102 can be a brush head for brushing teeth, a nozzle for flushing teeth, or an integrated flushing brush head for brushing teeth / flushing teeth.

[0045] The area to be cared for may be understood as an area where a care operation needs to be performed, and the area to be cared for may be an oral area to be cared for.

[0046] The interchangeable first cleaning attachment 1022 can be understood as a replaceable device attachment for performing cleaning operations. For example, the interchangeable first cleaning attachment 1022 can be a detachable brush head for brushing teeth. The interchangeable second cleaning attachment 1024 can be understood as a replaceable device attachment for performing cleaning operations. For example, the interchangeable second cleaning attachment 1024 can be a detachable nozzle for flushing teeth.

[0047] The driving unit may be understood as a unit for driving the care head 102 to perform an oral cleaning operation. For example, the driving unit may be a motor. The driving unit may be at least partially accommodated in the grip 104, and the interchangeable care head 102 is connected to the driving unit.

[0048] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, the drive unit includes a motor configuration that receives a drive shaft of an interchangeable care head 102, rotates the drive shaft and / or applies vibration motion to the drive shaft; the interchangeable care head 102 can be connected to the drive shaft, and the motor configuration is used to rotate the drive shaft and / or apply vibration motion to the drive shaft, thereby driving the care head 102 connected to the drive shaft to rotate and / or vibrate, so that the care head 102 in contact with the area to be cared for can perform a care operation.

[0049] The oral cleaning device includes an identification unit arranged on the holding portion 104, which is used to identify the single care head 102 when the single care head 102 is mounted on the drive shaft; wherein, the single care head 102 can be understood as an interchangeable first cleaning attachment 1022 or an interchangeable second cleaning attachment 1024; when the first cleaning attachment 1022 and the second cleaning attachment 1024 connected to the drive shaft are interchangeable, the single care head 102 (i.e., the first cleaning attachment 1022 or the second cleaning attachment 1024) mounted on the drive shaft can be identified by the identification unit; for example, the identification unit can be an NFC component, which identifies whether a nozzle is installed through the NFC, and enters the brushing or flushing mode according to the identification result; specifically, there is an identification coil (i.e., an identification unit) on the toothbrush handle (i.e., the holding portion 104), which can emit a signal for nozzle identification, and determine whether the nozzle is inserted by detecting whether there is a response.

[0050] The oral cleaning device includes a control unit connected to the recognition unit, wherein the control unit controls the oral cleaning device to perform a first oral cleaning operation or a second oral cleaning operation in response to a recognition signal of the recognition unit.

[0051] Among them, the first oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the drive unit to operate according to a preset program; specifically, the identification unit identifies the first cleaning attachment 1022, controls the drive unit to move and perform the first oral cleaning operation, for example, NFC identifies whether a brush head is installed, enters the brushing mode according to the identification result, controls the motor configuration in the drive unit to rotate the drive shaft and / or apply vibration motion to the drive shaft, drives the brush head connected to the drive shaft to rotate and / or vibrate, so that the brush head in contact with the area to be cared for can perform the brushing operation, and during this process, the water pump assembly in the oral cleaning device does not operate.

[0052] The second oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the drive unit not to operate, the identification unit identifying the second cleaning attachment 1024, and controlling the drive unit not to move to perform the second oral cleaning operation. For example, NFC identifies whether a nozzle is installed, enters the teeth flushing mode according to the identification result, controls the motor configuration in the drive unit, does not rotate the drive shaft and / or does not apply vibration to the drive shaft; during this process, the water pump assembly in the oral cleaning device operates, the drive unit acts as a fluid channel, and the water pump assembly sprays the water source fluid through the nozzle through the fluid channel to perform the teeth flushing operation, wherein, when the drive unit acts as a fluid channel, the drive shaft is a hollow structure, and the water source fluid can be delivered to the nozzle through the drive shaft.

[0053] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the gripping portion 104 further includes a detection unit and a fluid connection component.

[0054] The fluid connection assembly is detachably disposed at the second end of the gripping portion 104 or detachably disposed adjacent to the second end of the gripping portion 104, and the gripping portion 104 is in fluid communication with a water source through the fluid connection assembly.

[0055] The detection unit is connected to the control unit, and is used to detect the connection state between the fluid connection component and the gripping portion 104.

[0056] The fluid connection assembly and the gripping portion 104 have two connection states: installed and separated.

[0057] The detection unit may be understood as a unit for detecting the connection state between the fluid connection assembly and the gripping portion 104. The detection unit may be configured according to the application scenario. For example, the detection unit may be a Hall sensor for determining the connection state between the fluid connection assembly and the gripping portion 104 through Hall inspection.

[0058] The detection unit can be arranged at the second end of the grip portion 104 or adjacent to the second end of the grip portion 104, so as to accurately detect the connection status between the fluid connection component and the grip portion 104. For example, a Hall sensor is arranged at the bottom of the handle (i.e., the grip portion 104) for detecting whether the water pipe is connected to the handle.

[0059] Among them, the fluid connection component can be understood as a component used to connect the holding portion 104 and the water source fluid; the fluid connection component is detachably arranged at the second end of the holding portion 104 or detachably arranged adjacent to the second end of the holding portion 104, and the fluid connection component and the holding portion 104 have two connection states, namely, installation and separation, so as to facilitate flexible installation or disassembly according to actual conditions.

[0060] The gripping portion 104 is in communication with the water source fluid via the fluid connection assembly, and the water source in the water source fluid is transmitted to the gripping portion 104 via the fluid connection assembly, thereby facilitating the gripping portion 104 to perform oral care operations based on the water source.

[0061] The fluid connection assembly may include a connector and a water pipe, wherein the water pipe is used to transmit water, and the connector is used to achieve two connection states with the holding portion 104: installation and separation. Through the connector, the water pipe can be detachably installed on the second end of the holding portion 104, or the water pipe can be detachably arranged adjacent to the second end of the holding portion 104.

[0062] The water source fluid includes a main unit with a water tank or an external water source; the water tank can store the water source input by the external water source, or the main unit can transfer the water source in the water tank to the grip portion 104 through a fluid connection component. In the separated state, the grip portion can be used as an electric toothbrush handle in conjunction with a brush head; in the installed state, the grip portion can also be used as a water flosser handle in conjunction with a nozzle or a flushing integrated brush head.

[0063] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, when the fluid connection assembly and the gripping portion 104 are in an installed state, the control unit controls the oral cleaning device to perform a second oral cleaning operation in response to a detection signal from the detection unit.

[0064] The detection signal may be understood as a signal indicating that the fluid connection component and the grip portion 104 are in an installed state. For example, the detection signal may be a level signal.

[0065] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the detection unit is used to perform level detection, and when the fluid connection component and the holding portion 104 are in an installed state, the detection signal of the detection unit detects a low level.

[0066] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the detection unit is used to perform level detection, and when the fluid connection component and the holding portion 104 are in a separated state, the detection signal of the detection unit detects a high level.

[0067] Specifically, when the detection unit detects that the fluid connection assembly and the gripping portion 104 are in an installed state, a detection signal may be sent to the control unit; the control unit may control the oral cleaning device to perform the second oral cleaning operation according to the detection signal.

[0068] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, the detection unit is a Hall sensor, and / or the fluid connection component includes a magnetic component that triggers the detection unit, so as to accurately detect the connection status between the connection component and the holding portion 104, and the Hall sensor and / or the magnetic component that triggers the detection unit can be selected according to the actual scenario to achieve flexible detection.

[0069] For example, the Hall sensor can be used to detect whether there is a water pipe. Specifically, there is a Hall sensor at the bottom of the handle and a small magnet at the water pipe connection. When the water pipe is inserted into the connection of the handle, a water pipe is detected and a low level is returned. If no water pipe is connected, a high level is returned.

[0070] The control module enters the teeth flushing mode in response to the high level. Specifically, it detects that the nozzle is inserted and the water pipe is connected, and the integrated flushing toothbrush (ie, the oral cleaning device) runs the teeth flushing mode.

[0071] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the oral cleaning device further includes a base unit 106, and the grip portion 104 is in fluid communication with the base unit 106 via the fluid connection assembly.

[0072] The base unit 106 includes a fluid storage chamber 108, a water pump assembly in fluid communication with the fluid storage chamber 108, and a main control unit electrically connected to the water pump assembly;

[0073] The oral cleaning device also includes a wireless communication component;

[0074] The main control unit receives a signal from the control unit through the wireless communication component to control the oral cleaning device to perform a second oral cleaning operation, so as to control the water pump component to start;

[0075] The second oral cleaning operation includes the main control unit controlling the water pump assembly to run according to a preset program.

[0076] The base unit 106 can be understood as a unit for providing a water source for the grip portion 104 . The base unit 106 can be understood as a host of the all-in-one flushing machine (ie, an oral cleaning device), and the grip portion 104 can be a handle of the all-in-one flushing machine.

[0077] The fluid storage chamber 108 may be understood as a chamber for storing fluid. For example, the fluid storage chamber 108 may be a water tank.

[0078] The wireless communication component can be understood as a component used for wireless communication between the control unit and the main control unit. For example, the wireless communication component can be a 2.4GHZ module, a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module, a Zigbee module or a 4G module.

[0079] Specifically, the oral cleaning device provided in the present specification also includes a base unit 106, and the gripping portion 104 is fluidically connected to the base unit 106 through the fluid connection component; the base unit 106 includes a fluid storage chamber 108 and a water pump component fluidically connected to the fluid storage chamber 108, and when the water pump component is in operation, the fluid stored in the fluid storage chamber 108 can be transported to the gripping portion 104 through the fluid connection component.

[0080] The control unit in the oral cleaning device includes a control unit provided in the gripping portion 104 and a main control unit provided in the base unit 106, wherein the main control unit is electrically connected to the water pump assembly and is used to control the operation of the water pump assembly in response to a control signal of the control unit;

[0081] The oral cleaning device also includes a wireless communication component, and the main control unit receives a signal from the control unit through the wireless communication component to control the oral cleaning device to perform a second oral cleaning operation, so as to control the start-up of the water pump component; the second oral cleaning operation includes the main control unit controlling the water pump component to operate according to a preset program, so that the oral cleaning device can perform multiple oral cleaning operations, thereby meeting the user's diverse oral cleaning needs.

[0082] For example, the handle in the all-in-one flushing machine can notify the host (i.e., the base unit 106) to start working through the 2.4GHZ module. Specifically, after the handle runs the teeth flushing mode, it sends a working signal (i.e., a signal to execute the second oral cleaning operation) to the host through the 2.4GHZ module. The host responds to the working signal and starts the host water pump to start working, thereby transporting the fluid in the water tank configured on the host to the handle through the water pipe to perform the teeth flushing operation.

[0083] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the wireless communication component includes a first data transceiver unit disposed in the holding portion 104 and a second data transceiver unit disposed in the base unit 106 .

[0084] Among them, the wireless communication component includes but is not limited to: a Bluetooth data transceiver unit, a WiFi data transceiver unit, a 2.4G data transceiver unit, a near-field data transceiver unit and a cable data transceiver unit and other data transceiver units; the first data transceiver unit can be understood as any data transceiver unit arranged in the holding part 104; the second data transceiver unit can be understood as any data transceiver unit arranged in the base unit 106.

[0085] Specifically, the wireless communication component of the oral cleaning device includes a first data transceiver unit arranged on the holding portion 104 and a second data transceiver unit arranged on the base unit 106. Through the mutual cooperation between the first data transceiver unit and the second data transceiver unit, convenient and accurate wireless communication between the holding portion 104 and the base unit 106 is achieved, thereby ensuring accurate control and response between the holding portion 104 and the base unit 106.

[0086] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, when the fluid connection assembly and the gripping portion 104 are in a separated state,

[0087] The main control unit controls the oral cleaning device to pause the second oral cleaning operation in response to the detection signal of the detection unit;

[0088] And / or, the control unit controls the driving unit to vibrate in response to the detection signal of the detection unit; for example, when it is detected that no nozzle is inserted, a vibration reminder is issued;

[0089] And / or, the oral cleaning device comprises a light indication module, the light indication module is connected to the control unit, and the control unit controls the light indication module to issue a prompt message in response to a detection signal from the detection unit.

[0090] Among them, the prompt information can be understood as different types of lights, for example, the light is always on, the light is flashing, or a specific color of light (such as red light) is emitted, so as to prompt the user.

[0091] Specifically, when the fluid connection assembly and the gripping portion 104 are in a separated state, the detection unit can detect this situation in a timely manner and send a detection signal corresponding to the separation state to the control unit;

[0092] The control unit may control the oral cleaning device to suspend the second oral cleaning operation in response to the detection signal. Specifically, the control unit may send a signal to suspend the second oral cleaning operation to the base unit 106 through the wireless communication component in response to the detection signal, so as to control the water pump component to suspend operation, thereby avoiding fluid splashing and causing a bad experience to the user.

[0093] The control unit may also control the driving unit to vibrate in response to the detection signal, for example, when detecting that no nozzle is inserted, vibrate to remind the user to insert the water pipe to perform the teeth flushing operation;

[0094] The control unit may also control the light indication module to issue a prompt message in response to the detection signal, thereby prompting the user that the fluid connection component and the gripping portion 104 are in a separated state, so as to facilitate the user's handling.

[0095] For example, the all-in-one flushing machine can detect whether the water pipe and the nozzle are detached; specifically, when the user is flushing his teeth, the user only connects the nozzle but not the water pipe. In order to prevent the water nozzle from splashing water onto the user and affecting the user experience, when it is detected that the water pipe or the nozzle is out of the correct position, the water supply is suspended to prevent water from spraying onto the user; and / or the light indication module in the all-in-one flushing machine is controlled to flash a red light, thereby informing the user that the water pipe or the nozzle is out of the correct position; and / or the all-in-one flushing machine can be controlled to issue a vibration reminder through the vibration indication module, and the motor vibrates to remind the user that only the nozzle is connected and no water is coming out of the water nozzle.

[0096] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, when the first oral cleaning operation is performed for a first preset time, the detection unit identifies the connection state between the fluid connection component and the gripping portion 104;

[0097] The oral cleaning device controls the oral cleaning device to perform a third oral cleaning operation or controls the oral cleaning device to shut down in response to the detection signal of the detection unit;

[0098] The third oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the driving unit to operate according to a preset program and the main control unit controlling the water pump assembly of the oral cleaning device to operate according to a preset program.

[0099] The first preset duration may be set according to actual application scenarios. For example, the first preset duration may be two minutes.

[0100] The third oral cleaning operation may be understood as a third cleaning operation performed by the oral cleaning device on the area to be cared for. For example, the third oral cleaning operation may be a flushing operation on a specific area of ​​the oral cavity.

[0101] Specifically, when the oral care unit performs the first oral cleaning operation for a first preset time, the detection unit in the oral care unit can identify the connection state between the fluid connection component and the gripping portion 104;

[0102] When it is determined that the fluid connection component and the holding portion 104 are in an installed state, the detection unit sends a detection signal corresponding to the installation state to the control unit; the control unit controls the oral cleaning device to perform a third oral cleaning operation in response to the detection signal; the third oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the drive unit to operate according to a preset program and the main control unit controlling the water pump component of the oral cleaning device to operate according to a preset program.

[0103] When it is determined that the fluid connection assembly is in a separated state from the gripping portion 104 , the detection unit sends a detection signal corresponding to the separated state to the control unit, and the control unit controls the oral cleaning device to shut down in response to the detection signal.

[0104] Continuing with the above example, after brushing your teeth for 2 minutes, check whether there is a water pipe connected. If there is no water pipe, it will enter the shutdown mode. If there is a water pipe, it will automatically enter the flushing mode.

[0105] Based on the above embodiments, it can be seen that the oral cleaning device provided in this specification realizes multiple oral cleaning operations using one oral cleaning device, thereby meeting the diverse oral cleaning needs of users.

[0106] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, when performing a second oral cleaning operation, in response to a recognition signal from the recognition unit and / or a detection signal from the detection unit, the oral cleaning device is controlled to pause the second oral cleaning operation.

[0107] Specifically, when performing the second oral cleaning operation, when the identification unit recognizes that the care head 102 is not connected (i.e., fallen off) and / or the detection unit detects that the fluid connection component is in a separated state (i.e., fallen off), the identification unit can send an identification signal to the control unit and / or the detection unit can send a detection signal to the control unit.

[0108] The control unit responds to the identification signal of the identification unit and / or the detection signal of the detection unit, and sends a signal to the main control unit to pause the second oral cleaning operation, thereby controlling the oral cleaning device to pause the second oral cleaning operation, thereby avoiding the care head 102 or the fluid connection component from falling off and continuing to perform flushing, which will bring a bad oral cleaning experience to the user.

[0109] For example, when a user is flushing their teeth, it is detected that the water pipe or nozzle is out of the correct position to prevent water from spraying onto the user and to suspend the water flow.

[0110] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, when performing a third oral cleaning operation, in response to a recognition signal from the recognition unit and / or a detection signal from the detection unit, the oral cleaning device is controlled to pause the third oral cleaning operation.

[0111] Specifically, when performing the third oral cleaning operation, when the identification unit recognizes that the care head 102 is not connected (i.e., fallen off) and / or the detection unit detects that the fluid connection component is in a separated state (i.e., fallen off), the identification unit can send an identification signal to the control unit and / or the detection unit can send a detection signal to the control unit.

[0112] The control unit controls the oral cleaning device to pause the third oral cleaning operation in response to the identification signal of the identification unit and / or the detection signal of the detection unit, thereby preventing the oral cleaning device from continuing to work after the care head 102 or the fluid connection component falls off, thereby preventing the user from having a bad oral cleaning experience.

[0113] For example, the flushing machine detects whether the water pipe is detached or the nozzle is inserted; specifically, when the flushing mode is running, if the water pipe is detached or inserted into the nozzle, it will enter the pause mode to prevent a bad user experience; entering the pause mode: all motors stop working, and the breathing light is displayed to prompt the user.

[0114] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, when the pause reaches a second preset time length, the oral cleaning device is controlled to shut down.

[0115] The second preset time length may be set according to the actual application scenario. For example, the second preset time length may be 30 seconds.

[0116] Continuing with the above example, when the integrated flushing machine is in pause mode, when the pause time reaches 30 seconds, in order to save power, the integrated flushing machine can be controlled to shut down and enter the shutdown state.

[0117] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, the oral cleaning device further comprises an input unit for receiving user input, and in response to the user input received by the input unit, the identification unit identifies the connection status between the care head 102 and / or the detection unit and the fluid connection assembly and the holding portion 104.

[0118] For example, the all-in-one flushing machine is equipped with a control button, and the user can select the corresponding cleaning mode. Therefore, the all-in-one flushing machine determines to execute the steps of detecting whether it is a nozzle through NFC and / or detecting whether there is a water pipe through Hall based on the user input issued by the user through the control button, thereby meeting the user's oral cleaning needs.

[0119] Alternatively, it is detected whether a short press is made in the pause mode. After a short press in the pause mode (ie, user input), the nozzle and water pipe detection is performed again to determine whether a certain working mode is entered.

[0120] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, the oral cleaning device further comprises an input unit for receiving user input, and in response to the user input received by the input unit, the oral cleaning device is controlled to turn on.

[0121] For example, the all-in-one flushing machine can detect whether a button is pressed. Specifically, when the all-in-one flushing machine is in low power consumption mode, the user short presses a button (i.e., an input unit) to wake up the toothbrush and detect whether the power supply meets the power-on voltage. After the power-on voltage is met, the power-on process is entered to meet the user's oral cleaning needs.

[0122] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the identification unit includes an NFC device configured to detect the care head 102 .

[0123] For example, in the process of detecting whether it is a nozzle through NFC: there is an identification coil on the toothbrush handle, and it emits an identification signal to the outside, and the induction coil on the brush head sends a response signal based on the identification signal, and the toothbrush NFC module determines whether the nozzle is inserted by detecting whether there is a response signal, thereby accurately detecting the care head 102 through the NFC device.

[0124] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the first cleaning attachment 1022 includes at least a motion cleaning element, and the second cleaning attachment 1024 includes a fluid cleaning element.

[0125] The fluid cleaning element may be understood as an element that utilizes fluid to clean the oral cavity, such as a nozzle.

[0126] The moving cleaning element can be understood as an element that cleans the oral cavity by running, for example, the moving cleaning element can be bristles. The moving cleaning element can be configured in the first cleaning attachment 1022; the first cleaning attachment 1022 configured with the moving cleaning element can be a brush head or a brush head with integrated bristles and a nozzle.

[0127] In one or more embodiments provided in the present specification, one of the first cleaning attachment 1022 and the second cleaning attachment 1024 is provided with a first signal unit, and the other of the first cleaning attachment 1022 and the second cleaning attachment 1024 is provided with a second signal unit or is not provided with a signal unit.

[0128] The first signal unit may be understood as a unit provided in the first cleaning attachment 1022 and used to send a signal. For example, the induction coil on the brush head may send a response signal based on the identification signal, thereby facilitating identification.

[0129] The second signal unit can be understood as a unit provided in the second cleaning attachment 1024 and used for sending a signal. For example, the induction coil on the nozzle can send a response signal based on the identification signal, thereby facilitating identification.

[0130] An induction coil is provided on one of the nozzle or the brush head, while the other is not provided or is provided with an induction coil that provides different signals, so that the nozzle or the brush head provides different signals to the control unit in the handle, thereby controlling the oral cleaning device to enter different cleaning modes (brushing mode or flushing mode).

[0131] An oral cleaning device is provided in one or more embodiments of the present specification, and the oral cleaning device includes a drive unit at least partially accommodated in a gripping portion, and the drive unit is used to receive an interchangeable care head to perform an oral cleaning operation; when a control unit connected to the identification unit in the oral cleaning device receives an identification signal from the identification unit, the control unit controls the oral cleaning device to perform a first oral cleaning operation or a second oral cleaning operation in response to the identification signal, wherein the first oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the drive unit to operate according to a preset program, and the second oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the drive unit not to operate, thereby achieving multiple oral cleaning operations using one oral cleaning device, thereby meeting the user's diverse oral cleaning needs, and avoiding the problem that when the user needs to perform multiple oral cleaning operations, the oral cleaning operation is cumbersome and the user experience is poor due to the need to use multiple oral cleaning devices alternately.

[0132] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flow chart of a control method provided according to an embodiment of the present specification is shown, wherein the control method is applied to a control unit in an oral cleaning device, wherein the oral cleaning device includes a care head for performing care operations, a gripping portion connected to the care head, a driving unit at least partially accommodated in the gripping portion, and an identification unit arranged on the gripping portion and connected to the control unit, wherein the method specifically includes the following steps.

[0133] Step 202: Receive an identification signal sent by the identification unit, wherein the identification signal is a signal determined by the identification unit when the single care head is assembled on the driving shaft of the driving unit to identify the single care head.

[0134] Step 204: Control the oral cleaning device to perform a first oral cleaning operation or a second oral cleaning operation, wherein the first oral cleaning operation includes controlling the driving unit to operate according to a preset program, and the second oral cleaning operation includes controlling the driving unit not to operate.

[0135] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the method further includes:

[0136] In response to a detection signal from a detection unit, controlling the oral cleaning device to perform a second oral cleaning operation, wherein the detection unit is configured in the oral cleaning device and connected to the control unit;

[0137] and / or, in response to the detection signal sent by the detection unit, controlling the oral cleaning device to pause the second oral cleaning operation;

[0138] and / or, in response to a detection signal from the detection unit, controlling the driving unit to vibrate;

[0139] And / or, in response to the detection signal of the detection unit, controlling the light indication module in the oral cleaning device to issue a prompt message.

[0140] In one or more embodiments provided in this specification, the method further includes:

[0141] In response to the detection signal of the detection unit, the oral cleaning device is controlled to perform a third oral cleaning operation or the oral cleaning device is controlled to be shut down, wherein the third oral cleaning operation includes controlling the driving unit to operate according to a preset program and controlling the water pump component of the oral cleaning device to operate according to a preset program.

[0142] Taking the control method provided in this specification as an example of being applied to a flushing machine, the control method is explained. Specifically, during the operation, the user removes the handle from the main machine and presses the switch button to start the operation of detecting the status of the nozzle and the water pipe.

[0143] When the nozzle and water pipe are detected, the device enters the tooth flushing mode. After entering the mode, the 2.4GHZ module transmits the working signal to the host to perform the tooth flushing operation. If the water pipe or nozzle is detected to be off during operation, the device enters the pause mode. In the pause mode, short press the power key to judge the water pipe and Hall status to enter a certain working mode.

[0144] If it detects that there is no nozzle, it will enter the brushing mode, and after brushing for 2 minutes, it will check the water pipe status; if there is no water pipe, it will automatically shut down, and if there is a water pipe, it will enter the flushing mode;

[0145] In flushing mode, detect whether the water pipe is detached or the nozzle is replaced. In both cases, the system enters pause mode. In pause mode, short press the power button to determine whether the water pipe and Hall status have entered a certain working mode.

[0146] A control method for a control unit applied to an oral cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present specification can control the oral cleaning device to perform a first oral cleaning operation or a second oral cleaning operation in response to an identification signal received from an identification unit, wherein the first oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the driving unit to operate according to a preset program, and the second oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the driving unit not to operate. Therefore, it is possible to implement multiple oral cleaning operations using one oral cleaning device, thereby meeting the diverse oral cleaning needs of users and avoiding the problem that when a user needs to perform multiple oral cleaning operations, the oral cleaning operation is cumbersome and the user experience is poor due to the need to alternately use multiple oral cleaning devices.

[0147] The above is a schematic scheme of a control method of this embodiment. It should be noted that the technical scheme of the control method and the technical scheme of the above-mentioned oral cleaning device belong to the same concept, and the details not described in detail in the technical scheme of the control method can be referred to the description of the technical scheme of the above-mentioned oral cleaning device.

[0148] The following combination Figure 3 , taking the application of the control method provided in this specification in the oral cleaning scenario as an example, the control method is further described. Figure 3 A processing flow chart of a control method provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown. The control method is applied to a flushing machine and specifically includes the following steps.

[0149] Step 302: Enter low power consumption.

[0150] Specifically, the flushing machine enters a low power consumption mode.

[0151] Step 304: Detect whether the handle button is pressed; if so, execute step 306; if not, execute step 302.

[0152] Specifically, a control button is configured on the handle of the flushing machine, and it detects in real time whether the button is pressed; when the handle is in low power consumption mode, short press the button to wake up the handle, detect whether the power supply meets the power-on voltage, and enter the power-on process after meeting the power-on voltage.

[0153] Step 306 : Detect whether it is a nozzle through NFC; if so, execute step 318 ; if not, execute step 308 .

[0154] Specifically, the NFC module is used to detect whether the nozzle is connected. The handle has an NFC identification coil that can send out a signal. The handle can determine whether the nozzle is inserted based on whether there is a response signal. Specifically, the induction coil can be set only on the nozzle and not on the brush head. If the identification coil recognizes a signal, it is a nozzle, and if the identification coil does not recognize a signal, it is a brush head. Of course, different induction coils can also be set on the nozzle and the brush head to provide different identification signals.

[0155] Step 308: Entering the teeth brushing mode.

[0156] Specifically, when it is detected that no nozzle is inserted, it is determined that the inserted object is a brush head, and the brushing mode is performed for 2 minutes.

[0157] Step 310: Check whether the working time reaches two minutes; if so, execute step 312; if not, execute step 308.

[0158] Specifically, in the brushing mode, detect whether the working time reaches two minutes.

[0159] Step 312: Detect whether the water pipe is inserted through the Hall sensor; if so, execute step 314; if not, execute step 334.

[0160] Specifically, after brushing your teeth for 2 minutes, check whether there is a water pipe connected. If there is no water pipe, it will enter the shutdown mode. If there is a water pipe, it will automatically enter the flushing mode.

[0161] Step 314: Enter flushing mode.

[0162] Specifically, the flushing mode controls the motor in the handle to drive the brush head to move, and at the same time controls the water pump assembly in the base unit to spray high-pressure water. The brush head can be an integrated flushing brush head with integrated bristles and nozzles, which makes it more convenient to clean various parts of the oral cavity.

[0163] Step 316: Detect whether the water pipe is detached or the nozzle is inserted; if so, execute step 326; if not, execute step 314.

[0164] Specifically, in the flushing mode, it is detected whether the water pipe is detached or whether the cleaning accessory is replaced with a nozzle. When the water pipe is detached or the accessory is replaced with a nozzle, the pause mode is entered.

[0165] Step 318: Detect whether there is a water pipe through Hall detection; if so, execute step 320; if not, execute step 332.

[0166] Specifically, there is a Hall sensor at the bottom of the handle, and the water pipe connector is provided with a magnet. After the water pipe is inserted, if there is a water pipe, it returns a low level, and if there is no water pipe, it returns a high level, thereby detecting whether there is a water pipe.

[0167] Step 320: Perform teeth flushing mode.

[0168] Specifically, when it is detected that the nozzle is inserted and the water pipe is connected, the flushing machine operates in the dental flushing mode.

[0169] Step 322: The 2.4 GHZ module notifies the host to start working.

[0170] Specifically, after the handle of the flushing machine determines that it has entered the teeth flushing mode, it sends a working signal to the host through the 2.4GHZ module, allowing the host water pump to start working, thereby performing the teeth flushing operation.

[0171] Step 324: Check whether the water pipe and the nozzle are detached; if so, execute step 326; if not, execute step 320.

[0172] Specifically, when the user is flushing his teeth, it is detected that the water pipe or nozzle is out of the correct position to prevent water from spraying onto the user, so the water flow is suspended and the flushing operation is stopped.

[0173] Step 326: Entering pause mode.

[0174] Specifically, when the user is flushing teeth or brushing, if the water pipe or nozzle is detected to be out of the correct position, the pause mode will be entered; in the pause mode, all motors stop working, the breathing light displays to remind the user, or a vibration reminder is issued. The red light flashes to remind the user that the nozzle and / or water pipe are not connected, in order to prevent the water from splashing onto the user and affecting the user experience. Or the motor vibrates to remind, and no water comes out of the water outlet.

[0175] Step 328: Is the key pressed shortly in the pause mode? If yes, execute step 306; if no, execute step 326.

[0176] Specifically, in the pause mode, it is detected whether the button is short pressed. If it is short pressed in the pause mode, the nozzle and the water pipe are detected again to determine whether a certain working mode has been entered; if it is not short pressed in the pause mode, the pause mode is maintained.

[0177] Step 330: Check whether the pause time reaches 30 seconds; if so, execute step 334; if not, execute step 326.

[0178] Specifically, in the pause mode, it is detected whether the pause time reaches 30 seconds. If so, the device is automatically shut down; if not, the pause mode is maintained.

[0179] Step 332: A vibration reminder is issued and the red light flashes.

[0180] Specifically, when the user only connects the nozzle but not the water pipe, in order to prevent the water outlet from splashing water onto the user and affecting the user experience, the motor vibrates or the red light flashes as a reminder, and no water comes out of the water outlet.

[0181] Step 334: End.

[0182] Specifically, the flushing machine automatically shuts down, ending the oral cleaning operation.

[0183] Based on the above steps, it can be known that the control method in one or more embodiments of this specification provides a handle based on the NFC nozzle recognition technology and the Hall recognition water pipe technology to achieve integrated flushing; through this technology, the oral cleaning device has an integrated flushing function, and automatically enters the corresponding working mode after NFC recognition and Hall recognition; and uses a 2.4GHZ communication module to accurately control the operation and stop of the water pump. Compared with the desktop water flosser that only has the function of flushing teeth in the prior art; if the user needs to brush his teeth, he does not need to configure a separate toothbrush, which improves the user experience and overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0184] Combination Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 1 is a structural diagram of an oral cleaning device control system provided by one embodiment of the present specification. One or more embodiments of the present specification provide an oral cleaning device control system, including: a gripping portion 104 and a base unit 106, the gripping portion 104 includes a driving unit, an identification unit and a control unit, the base unit 106 includes a water pump assembly and a main control unit;

[0185] The identification unit is used to identify the care head mounted on the driving unit;

[0186] The control unit controls the oral cleaning device to perform a first oral cleaning operation or a second oral cleaning operation in response to the recognition signal of the recognition unit.

[0187] The first oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the drive unit to operate according to a preset program;

[0188] The second oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the driving unit not to operate, and the main control unit controlling the water pump assembly to operate according to a preset program.

[0189] The oral cleaning device control system includes a grip portion 104 and a base unit 106, wherein the grip portion 104 is in fluid communication with the base unit 106 via a fluid connection assembly; the oral cleaning device can be controlled to perform a first oral cleaning operation or a second oral cleaning operation through interaction between the grip portion 104 and the base unit 106;

[0190] The base unit 106 also includes a fluid storage chamber 108 that is in fluid communication with the water pump assembly.

[0191] The holding portion 104 includes a first data transceiver unit, and the base unit 106 includes a second data transceiver unit; data is transmitted and received between the holding portion 104 and the base unit 106 via the first data transceiver unit and the second data transceiver unit.

[0192] The gripping portion 104 includes a detection unit, which is connected to the control unit and is used to detect the connection status between the fluid connection component and the gripping portion.

[0193] Specifically, the control system of the oral cleaning device can identify the care head mounted on the driving unit by using the identification unit in the gripping portion 104, and send an identification signal to the control unit in the gripping portion 104 after the identification is completed; the control unit can control the oral cleaning device to perform the first oral cleaning operation or the second oral cleaning operation in response to the received identification signal;

[0194] Among them, controlling the oral cleaning device to perform the first oral cleaning operation means that the control unit in the gripping portion 104 can control the driving unit in the gripping portion 104 to run according to a preset program, thereby performing the first oral cleaning operation.

[0195] Among them, controlling the oral cleaning device to perform the second oral cleaning operation means that the control unit in the holding part 104 can send a signal to the base unit 106 through the first data transceiver unit to control the oral cleaning device to perform the second oral cleaning operation; the main control unit in the base unit 106 can receive the signal sent by the control unit through the second data transceiver unit to control the oral cleaning device to perform.

[0196] For example, when controlling the integrated flushing machine to perform flushing or tooth washing operations, the control system of the oral cleaning device can use the NFC component in the handle to identify whether a nozzle is installed, and enter the brushing or tooth washing mode according to the identification result.

[0197] When it is detected that there is no nozzle, the brushing mode is entered; the control unit in the handle can control the motor configuration in the drive unit to rotate the drive shaft and / or apply vibration motion to the drive shaft, thereby driving the brush head connected to the drive shaft to rotate and / or vibrate, so that the brush head in contact with the area to be cared for can perform the brushing operation. During this process, the water pump assembly in the oral cleaning device does not operate.

[0198] The device enters the teeth flushing mode when it recognizes that there is a nozzle and a water pipe. In the teeth flushing mode, the control unit in the handle controls the motor configuration in the drive unit to prevent the drive shaft from rotating and / or applying vibration motion to the drive shaft; and transmits a working signal to the host through the 2.4GHZ module, so that the main control unit in the host controls the operation of the water pump assembly, thereby transporting the fluid in the water tank configured on the host to the handle through the water pipe to perform the teeth flushing operation.

[0199] One or more embodiments of the present specification provide an oral cleaning device control system, which can control the oral cleaning device to perform a first oral cleaning operation or a second oral cleaning operation in response to an identification signal received by a control unit of a holding portion. The first oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the driving unit to operate according to a preset program, and the second oral cleaning operation includes the control unit controlling the driving unit not to operate. Therefore, it is possible to implement multiple oral cleaning operations using one oral cleaning device, thereby meeting the diverse oral cleaning needs of users and avoiding the problem that when a user needs to perform multiple oral cleaning operations, the oral cleaning operations are cumbersome and the user experience is poor due to the need to alternately use multiple oral cleaning devices.
