[0002] As people's awareness of oral health increases, children's dental care is receiving more and more attention from parents and dental professionals. Children's water flossers use gentle and effective water flow to help remove food debris and soft plaque between teeth, reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and help cultivate good oral hygiene habits.

[0003] However, existing children's water flossers usually only provide a fixed water outlet mode and cannot adjust the water outlet according to the tooth structure and oral environment of different age stages.

[0049] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0050] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: step S1, obtaining the user's age information; step S2, matching the age information with the ages corresponding to multiple children's segment working modes, and controlling entry into the successfully matched children's segment working mode; step S3, responding to the work start instruction, controlling the water outlet component to output water according to the working parameters corresponding to the current children's segment working mode.

[0052] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the following description is made by taking a children's water flosser to which the control method of the children's water flosser is applied as the execution subject. Figure 5 , Figure 5 A structural schematic diagram is provided for an embodiment of a children's water flosser of the present application, wherein the children's water flosser includes a water outlet component for discharging water and a control circuit for controlling the operation of the water outlet component, wherein the control circuit has multiple children's segment operating modes built in, and each children's segment operating mode is set with specific operating parameters.

[0053] It should be noted that existing children's water flossers usually only provide fixed water outlet modes and cannot adjust the water outlet according to the tooth structure and oral environment of different age stages. Therefore, they cannot effectively clean the dirt between the teeth of children of all ages.

[0054] The present application provides a solution, so that the children's water flosser can obtain the user's age information, and match the age information with the ages corresponding to multiple children's segment working modes, and control the entry into the children's segment working mode that matches successfully. For example, the children's water flosser is specifically provided with a small child segment of less than ten years old, a middle child segment of ten to twelve years old, and a large child segment of more than twelve years old. When the user's age is less than ten years old, the age information successfully matches the age of the small child segment, and the control enters the small child segment working mode; when the user's age is between ten and twelve years old, the age information successfully matches the age of the middle child segment, and the control enters the middle child segment working mode; when the user's age is more than twelve years old, the age information successfully matches the age of the large child segment, and the control enters the large child segment working mode. Then, in response to the work start instruction, according to the working parameters corresponding to the current children's segment working mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water. It can be understood that the gums of children in younger age groups are more sensitive. As they age, the tooth structure of children will become stronger, and food residues in the teeth will be more difficult to remove. In the present application, the working parameters may include water pressure, and multiple children's working modes may correspond to different water pressures, so that the water flosser can adjust the water pressure according to the tooth structure and oral environment of different age groups. Among them, a smaller water pressure can be set for younger age groups to reduce the risk of stimulation and damage to the gums and tooth structures of children in younger age groups, ensuring safe use; a larger water pressure can be set for older age groups to provide a stronger cleaning effect, helping older children remove stubborn food residues and plaque on their teeth. In this way, the present application can control the entry into different children's working modes according to the tooth structure and oral environment of children of different age groups, thereby controlling the water output according to the corresponding working parameters, and can effectively clean the dirt between the teeth of children of all ages.

[0055] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a children's water flosser, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the control method of the children's water flosser of the present application.

[0056] In this embodiment, the control method of the children's water flosser includes steps S1 to S4:

[0057] Step S1, obtaining the user's age information.

[0058] It should be noted that the children's water flosser may include a trigger circuit, specifically a trigger key or button panel, and the user can enter the age information by pressing different keys or buttons. The built-in control circuit of the children's water flosser receives the input signal and parses the age entered by the user. The children's water flosser may also include a display circuit that can display the age entered by the user and can provide sound prompts or visual feedback to ensure that the user enters accurately.

[0059] Step S2, matching the age information with the ages corresponding to a plurality of children's segment working modes, and controlling entry into the successfully matched children's segment working mode.

[0060] It should be noted that different children's segment working modes can be set for different age groups. For example, a children's water flosser can be specifically set with a small child segment for children under ten years old, a middle child segment for children between ten and twelve years old, and a large child segment for children over twelve years old. When the acquired user age is less than ten years old, the age information successfully matches the age of the small child segment, and the control enters the small child segment working mode; when the acquired user age is between ten and twelve years old, the age information successfully matches the age of the middle child segment, and the control enters the middle child segment working mode; when the acquired user age is over twelve years old, the age information successfully matches the age of the large child segment, and the control enters the large child segment working mode.

[0061] It should be noted that the trigger circuit can also output a gear selection signal when triggered by the user, and the control circuit directly controls entering the corresponding children's section working mode according to the gear selection signal, such as entering the small child section working mode, the middle child section working mode and the large child section working mode, etc., which is not limited here.

[0062] Step S3, in response to the work start instruction, the water outlet component is controlled to output water according to the working parameters corresponding to the current children's stage working mode.

[0063] It should be noted that each children's stage working mode can be set with corresponding working parameters, such as water pressure, water temperature, water duration, etc., to meet the gum and tooth cleaning needs of children of different age groups. In this embodiment, corresponding working parameters can be set according to children of different age groups, such as the water pressure of the small child stage, the middle child stage, and the large child stage can be set to increase in sequence, and the water temperature and water duration of the small child stage, the middle child stage, and the large child stage can be set the same.

[0064] It should be noted that the water outlet assembly may include a water tank, a water pump and a nozzle. Among them, the water tank can store water, the water pump is built with a motor for providing power, and the control circuit can output a control signal to control the operation of the motor according to the working parameters, so as to control the water pump to transport water from the water tank to the nozzle for spraying. For example, the control circuit may include a control chip and a drive circuit, and the control chip may output PWM signals of different duty cycles to the drive circuit, and the drive circuit may output drive currents of different sizes according to the PWM signal to drive the motor to rotate at a corresponding speed, thereby controlling the power provided by the water pump, and then controlling the water pressure of the water sprayed from the nozzle. Among them, the greater the duty cycle of the output PWM signal, the greater the water pressure of the water outlet. The duty cycle of the PWM signal output by the small child segment, the middle child segment, and the large child segment can be increased successively, and the water pressure of the water outlet can be provided successively to meet the cleaning needs of children of different ages.

[0065] In this embodiment, the children's water flosser can obtain the user's age information. The age information is matched with the ages corresponding to multiple children's segment working modes, and the control is used to enter the successfully matched children's segment working mode. In response to the work start instruction, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water according to the working parameters corresponding to the current children's segment working mode. In this way, the children's water flosser of this embodiment can be controlled to enter different children's segment working modes according to the tooth structure and oral environment of children of different age stages, thereby controlling the water discharge according to the corresponding working parameters, and can effectively clean the dirt between the teeth of children of all ages.

[0066] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the first embodiment can be referred to the above description, and no further description will be given later. On this basis, the working parameters of the children's segment working mode include the outlet water pressure and the preset outlet water pressure threshold, please refer to Figure 2 , step S3 comprises step S31:

[0067] Step S31, in response to the work start instruction, according to the preset water outlet pressure threshold corresponding to the current children's segment working mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water at a water outlet pressure not greater than the preset water outlet pressure threshold.

[0068] In this embodiment, the preset water outlet pressure threshold can be set accordingly according to the age corresponding to the current children's segment working mode to ensure the cleaning effect, while taking into account the oral health characteristics of children. Among them, under the premise that the water outlet pressure is not greater than the preset water outlet pressure threshold, the current children's segment working mode can set multiple target modes to control the water outlet component to discharge water according to multiple target modes such as normal mode and massage mode, which are not limited here. In this way, this embodiment can meet the personalized cleaning needs of children of different age groups without ensuring that the water outlet pressure will not cause discomfort to children.

[0069] Based on the second embodiment of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned second embodiment can be referred to the above introduction and will not be repeated later.

[0070] On this basis, multiple child segments include a young child segment that is younger than the first age, a middle child segment that is between the first and second ages, and a large child segment that is older than the second age. In the young child segment working mode, the middle child segment working mode, and the large child segment working mode, the preset water pressure thresholds are the first water pressure threshold, the second water pressure threshold, and the third water pressure threshold, respectively. Among them, the first water pressure threshold, the second water pressure threshold, and the third water pressure threshold increase in sequence. Please refer to Figure 3 , step S31 includes step A1:

[0071] Step A1, in response to the work start instruction, when in the small child section working mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water at a water pressure not greater than the first water pressure threshold; when in the middle child section working mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water at a water pressure not greater than the second water pressure threshold; when in the large child section working mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water at a water pressure not greater than the third water pressure threshold.

[0072] It should be noted that the water outlet assembly has a maximum water outlet pressure, that is, the highest water pressure value that the children's water flosser can reach when working. It is understandable that when children are less than ten years old, their tooth structure is usually softer and their gums are more sensitive, so a gentler water outlet pressure is required for cleaning. A lower first water pressure threshold (such as 50% of the maximum water outlet pressure according to the value of the maximum water outlet pressure) can be used to reduce the stimulation of children's gums and reduce the risk of injury. When children are between ten and twelve years old, the tooth structure gradually becomes stronger. Food residues may be more difficult to remove and require more effective cleaning methods. A moderately increased second water pressure threshold (such as 75% of the maximum water outlet pressure) can more effectively remove food residues and plaque and keep the mouth clean. When children are older than twelve years old, the tooth structure is stronger. A higher third water pressure threshold (such as 100% of the maximum water outlet pressure) can provide a stronger cleaning effect and help remove stubborn food residues and plaque. In this way, this embodiment can control the water outlet component to outlet water at a pressure not greater than a preset water outlet pressure threshold, thereby improving the cleaning effect while ensuring user comfort.

[0073] Based on the third embodiment of the present application, in the fourth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the third embodiment can be referred to the above description, and no further description will be given later. On this basis, multiple children's segment working modes include normal mode and massage mode; the working start instruction includes a mode selection instruction and a start instruction. Please refer to Figure 4 , step A1 includes steps A11 to A12:

[0074] Step A11, in response to the mode selection instruction, controls the entry into the target mode of the current children's segment working mode; wherein the target mode is specifically the normal mode or the massage mode.

[0075] It should be noted that when the target mode of the current children's stage working mode is in the normal mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water according to the first water outlet pressure. When the target mode of the current children's stage working mode is in the massage mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water according to the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure respectively; wherein, in each cycle time period, the second water outlet pressure lasts for the first time proportion, the third water outlet pressure lasts for the second time proportion, and the third water outlet pressure is greater than the second water outlet pressure.

[0076] Among them, in the working mode of the small child section, the first water outlet pressure, the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure are all not greater than the first water pressure threshold; in the working mode of the middle child section, the first water outlet pressure, the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure are all not greater than the second water pressure threshold; in the working mode of the large child section, the first water outlet pressure, the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure are all not greater than the third water pressure threshold.

[0077] Step A12, in response to the work start instruction, when in the child stage working mode, control the water outlet component to discharge water according to the water outlet pressure corresponding to the target mode of the child stage working mode; wherein, the water outlet pressure corresponding to the target mode of the child stage working mode is not greater than the first water pressure threshold.

[0078] When in the middle-child stage working mode, the water outlet component is controlled to outlet water according to the water outlet pressure corresponding to the target mode of the middle-child stage working mode; wherein the water outlet pressure corresponding to the target mode of the middle-child stage working mode is not greater than the second water pressure threshold.

[0079] When in the big kid stage working mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water according to the water outlet pressure corresponding to the target mode of the big kid stage working mode; wherein the water outlet pressure corresponding to the target mode of the big kid stage working mode is not greater than the third water pressure threshold.

[0080] In this way, this embodiment can realize water discharge in the normal mode or massage mode of the current children's section working mode. Among them, the normal mode is suitable for children's daily cleaning. The massage mode is suitable for promoting oral blood circulation and gum health. In this way, this embodiment provides a variety of tooth flushing modes, which can help children develop good oral cleaning habits.

[0081] In one embodiment, the water outlet component has a maximum water outlet pressure, assuming that the maximum water outlet pressure is normalized and set to 1. Then in the working modes of the small child segment, the middle child segment, and the large child segment, the first water outlet pressure threshold, the second water pressure threshold, and the third water pressure threshold can be set to 4 / 8, 6 / 8, and 8 / 8, respectively, that is, 4 / 8, 6 / 8, and 8 / 8 of the maximum water outlet pressure, respectively. In the normal mode of the working modes of the small child segment, the middle child segment, and the large child segment, the first water outlet pressure can be set to 2 / 8, 5 / 8, and 8 / 8 of the maximum water outlet pressure, respectively, which are not greater than the first water outlet pressure threshold (i.e., 4 / 8), the second water pressure threshold (i.e., 6 / 8), and the third water pressure threshold (i.e., 8 / 8), respectively.

[0082] In the massage mode of the small child segment, the third water pressure and the fourth water pressure can be set to 2 / 8 and 4 / 8 respectively, both of which are not greater than the first water pressure threshold (i.e., 4 / 8). The first time proportion and the second time proportion can be 0.3 seconds and 0.15 seconds respectively. In the massage mode of the middle child segment, the third water pressure and the fourth water pressure can be set to 2 / 8 and 6 / 8 respectively, both of which are not greater than the second water pressure threshold (i.e., 6 / 8). The first time proportion and the second time proportion can be 0.3 seconds and 0.15 seconds respectively. In the massage mode of the large child segment, the third water pressure and the fourth water pressure can be set to 2 / 8 and 6 / 8 respectively, both of which are not greater than the third water pressure threshold (i.e., 8 / 8). The first time proportion and the second time proportion can be 0.3 seconds and 0.15 seconds respectively. In this way, the present embodiment can provide a normal mode and a massage mode to help children clean their teeth and massage their gums while ensuring that it will not cause discomfort to children of multiple age groups.

[0083] Based on this, in one embodiment of the present application, the first water outlet pressure, the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure can also be based on the preset water outlet pressure threshold of the current children's segment working mode, and the water outlet pressure of the target mode of the current children's segment working mode can be set. For example, the first water outlet pressure can be set to the first proportion of the preset water outlet pressure threshold, such as 80%; the second water outlet pressure can be set to the second proportion of the preset water outlet pressure threshold, such as 60%; the third water outlet pressure can be set to the third proportion of the preset water outlet pressure threshold, such as 100%. In this way, when the control enters the successfully matched children's segment working mode, the preset water outlet pressure threshold can be determined, and then the first water outlet pressure, the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure are determined, and it is ensured that the first water outlet pressure, the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure will not be greater than the preset water outlet pressure threshold. In this way, this embodiment can respond to the work start instruction, according to the first water outlet pressure, the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure corresponding to the current children's segment working mode, control the water outlet component to discharge water according to the water outlet mode of the corresponding target mode.

[0084] Based on this, in one embodiment of the present application, a custom setting mode may be included, and a preset water pressure threshold of the current children's mode may be custom set. Before step S3, the control method of the children's water flosser may further include:

[0085] In response to the custom settings instruction, control enters a custom settings mode.

[0086] Obtain an adjustment signal, and adjust the preset water outlet pressure threshold according to the adjustment signal, so that the preset water outlet pressure threshold increases or decreases cyclically between the minimum water outlet pressure and the maximum water outlet pressure. The maximum water outlet pressure is the maximum water outlet pressure of the water outlet component, and the minimum water outlet pressure is the minimum water outlet pressure of the water outlet component, which can be set to 20% of the maximum water outlet pressure.

[0087] Until the last adjustment signal ends, the current preset water outlet pressure threshold is locked and saved as the preset water outlet pressure threshold for the current children's segment working mode.

[0088] In this way, the present embodiment can adjust the preset water outlet pressure threshold of the current children's mode, and then adjust the first water outlet pressure, the second water outlet pressure and the third water outlet pressure, and then adjust the water outlet pressure of different target modes. In this way, the present embodiment can meet the personalized needs of children of multiple age groups.

[0089] Based on the second embodiment of the present application, in the fifth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the first embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be described in detail later. On this basis, the children's water flosser also includes an angle sensor for detecting the use angle of the water outlet component, and the working parameters of the children's working mode include a preset deviation angle threshold. Step S3 includes steps B1 to B4:

[0090] Step B1, in response to a work start instruction, obtaining angle detection information of an angle sensor.

[0091] It should be noted that the angle sensor can be installed on the nozzle of the water outlet assembly to monitor the angle of the nozzle. The angle sensor can be a potentiometer angle sensor, a Hall effect angle sensor, a magnetic induction angle sensor or a gyroscope. Taking the Hall effect angle sensor as an example, a permanent magnet and a Hall element are set inside the sensor. When the magnet rotates, the change in the magnetic field will cause the voltage generated by the Hall element to change, thereby measuring the angle change. In this way, the angle sensor can output an electrical signal corresponding to the change in the nozzle angle to the control circuit.

[0092] Step B2, determining the actual use angle of the water outlet component according to the angle detection information.

[0093] Step B3, determining the deviation angle according to the actual use angle and the preset use angle.

[0094] In this embodiment, the control circuit can perform pre-processing steps such as amplification and filtering according to the electrical signal output by the angle sensor to obtain its accurate voltage value, and calculate the actual use angle according to the voltage value, and calculate the deviation angle according to the absolute value of the difference between the actual use angle and the preset use angle. The preset use angle can be the angle at which the nozzle is perpendicular to the tooth surface, or the optimal angle recommended for nozzles of different shapes. For example, if the preset use angle is 90 degrees and the actual use angle detected is 85 degrees, the deviation angle is 5 degrees.

[0095] Step B4, when the deviation angle is less than the preset deviation angle threshold corresponding to the current children's segment working mode, according to the preset water outlet pressure threshold corresponding to the current children's segment working mode, the water outlet component is controlled to discharge water at a water outlet pressure not greater than the preset water outlet pressure threshold.

[0096] It should be noted that children in the young child segment are not familiar with how to use the water flosser correctly, so the preset deviation angle threshold is relatively small to ensure that children can maintain the correct use angle as much as possible during use and reduce irritation to the gums. Children in the middle child segment usually have mastered a certain degree of self-care ability, and the preset deviation angle threshold is moderate to adapt to the slight deviation of children during use, giving children in the middle child segment a larger free cleaning angle while ensuring the cleaning effect. Children in the older child segment can better control the water flosser, so they can tolerate a larger angle deviation to adapt to a more flexible use method. Based on this, in the young child segment working mode, the middle child segment working mode and the older child segment working mode, the preset deviation angle threshold can be set to the first deviation threshold (such as 20 degrees), the second deviation threshold (such as 40 degrees) and the third deviation threshold (such as 60 degrees), respectively; wherein the first deviation threshold, the second deviation threshold and the third deviation threshold increase in sequence.

[0097] It should be noted that the children's water flosser may include a prompt component to indicate whether the deviation angle of the water outlet component is not greater than a preset deviation angle threshold. When it is in a state where the deviation angle is greater than the preset deviation angle threshold, a prompt signal is output to prompt the child to correct the use angle of the children's water flosser, which helps to develop good usage habits of the children's water flosser.

[0098] Wherein, step B4 includes steps B41 to B43:

[0099] Step B41, when in the child stage working mode and the deviation angle is less than the first deviation threshold, the water outlet component is controlled to outlet water according to the preset water outlet pressure threshold corresponding to the child stage working mode.

[0100] Step B42, when in the middle-child stage working mode and the deviation angle is less than the second deviation threshold, the water outlet component is controlled to outlet water according to the preset water outlet pressure threshold corresponding to the middle-child stage working mode.

[0101] Step B43, when the working mode is in the large-child stage and the deviation angle is less than the third deviation threshold, the water outlet assembly is controlled to discharge water according to the preset water outlet pressure threshold corresponding to the working mode of the large-child stage.

[0102] In this way, this embodiment can correct children's bad habits of using children's water flossers, so that the water outlet is only controlled when the deviation angle of the water outlet component is not greater than the preset deviation angle threshold of the current children's segment working mode, otherwise the water outlet is not controlled, thereby solving the safety problem and poor user experience caused by the excessive deviation angle of the water outlet component.

[0103] Based on the second embodiment of the present application, in the sixth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned second embodiment can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated later. On this basis, the working parameters of the children's segment working mode also include a preset water outlet temperature. Step S3 includes steps C1 to C2:

[0104] Step C1, in response to a work start instruction, controlling the water in the water outlet component to be heated to a preset water outlet temperature.

[0105] In one embodiment, the water outlet assembly includes a water tank for storing water, and the children's water flosser also includes a heating circuit and a temperature detection circuit; the heating circuit is used to heat the water in the water tank, and the temperature detection circuit is used to detect the water temperature of the water tank. Step C1 may include: in response to a work start instruction, obtaining the current water temperature detected by the temperature detection circuit. When the current water temperature is lower than the preset water outlet temperature, the heating circuit is controlled to heat the water in the water tank until the current water temperature reaches the preset water outlet temperature, and the heating circuit is controlled to stop heating. In this way, this embodiment can ensure that the water temperature is heated to the preset water outlet temperature, making the flushing process of the children using the children's water flosser more comfortable, avoiding discomfort or irritation to the gums and oral cavity of the children caused by overcold or overheated water, and helping to cultivate good oral cleaning habits for children.

[0106] In one embodiment, the children's water flosser may also include a warning light circuit. When it is detected that the water temperature of the water tank is greater than the sum of the preset water outlet temperature and the preset water temperature threshold, the warning light circuit is controlled to send a water temperature too high warning message to remind the user that the water source temperature of the water tank is too high, which may cause discomfort to the gums and mouth of the child, so as to remind the user to change the water source or wait for the water to cool down before rinsing the mouth. For example, the preset water outlet temperature is set to 30 degrees Celsius, and the preset water temperature threshold is set to 5 degrees Celsius. When it is detected that the water temperature of the water tank exceeds 35 degrees Celsius, the user is reminded that the water source temperature of the water tank is too high, and the water outlet component is controlled to prohibit water from flowing out.

[0107] In one embodiment, the preset outlet water temperatures of the working parameters of the multiple children's working modes may also be adjusted to different degrees according to different age groups, which is not limited here.

[0108] Step C2, according to the preset water outlet pressure threshold corresponding to the current children's segment working mode, control the water outlet component to discharge water at a water outlet pressure not greater than the preset water outlet pressure threshold and a preset water outlet temperature.

[0109] In this way, this embodiment can control the water outlet component to discharge water according to the water outlet pressure not greater than the preset water outlet pressure threshold and the preset water outlet temperature. Compared with the prior art, the water in the water tank can be heated to the preset water outlet temperature, which can bring a better experience for children.

[0110] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the control method of the children's water flosser of the present application. More simple transformations based on this technical concept are all within the protection scope of the present application.

[0111] The present application also provides a children's water flosser, which includes a water outlet assembly. The children's water flosser uses the control method of the children's water flosser described in the above embodiment, which can solve the technical problem that the existing children's water flosser cannot effectively clean the dirt between the teeth of children of all ages. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the children's water flosser provided by the present application are the same as the beneficial effects of the control method of the children's water flosser provided by the above embodiment, and other technical features of the children's water flosser are the same as the features disclosed in the above embodiment method, which will not be repeated here.

All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
