[0019] In one embodiment, after the step of obtaining the remaining water volume in the water tank, the step further includes:

[0020] Determine the number of times the multiple working modes can operate under the remaining water volume according to the water consumption of the multiple working modes in the first preset time and the remaining water volume in the water tank;

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] An oral irrigator is an oral cleaning aid. Its core function relies on the impact force generated by a high-speed water column ejected under a certain pressure to clean teeth and gaps between teeth through the impact of pulsed water flow.

[0045] At present, most water flossers are equipped with a custom mode to meet the personalized needs of users, that is, the user can customize the parameters such as the spray pressure or working time of the water flosser according to their own needs. However, the existing water flossers usually do not consider the number of times each working mode is used, so that the user needs to add water frequently after each use to avoid insufficient water in the water flosser, or the water flosser will be interrupted due to insufficient water when used next time, which causes inconvenience to the user.

[0046] To this end, the main purpose of the present application is to provide a water usage assessment method, an oral irrigator, a storage medium and a computer program product, aiming to solve the problem that users are not clear about the water consumption of the custom mode of the oral irrigator, which may cause the oral irrigator to interrupt work due to insufficient water during use, or require frequent water addition, thereby causing inconvenience to the user.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 A water use evaluation method is applied to a water flosser, the water flosser comprises a water tank and a liquid level detection module, the liquid level detection module is used to detect the remaining water in the water tank, the water flosser comprises a plurality of working modes, the plurality of working modes comprises a custom working mode, and the method comprises:

[0048] S100: determining a water consumption rate of the oral irrigator operating in the custom working mode according to the water consumption of the oral irrigator operating in the custom working mode within a unit time;

[0049] It should be noted that if the water pressure of the custom working mode is a constant water pressure, the unit time can be 1 second; if the water pressure of the custom working mode is a periodically changing water pressure, the unit time is the time of a single cycle; wherein, the water consumption rate is equal to the quotient of the water consumption per unit time divided by the unit time.

[0050] S200: Determine, based on the water consumption rate of the custom working mode, the water consumption when the oral irrigator works in the custom working mode and the working time reaches a first preset time;

[0051] Among them, the first preset duration can be a user-defined timing duration. It is set in this way so that the present application can determine the water consumption of the water flosser according to the user's usage habits, and determine the number of times the water flosser can work, so that the user can arrange the use time according to the number of times it can work, thereby improving the overall user experience of the water flosser; wherein, the water consumption of the custom working mode in the preset time is equal to the water consumption rate multiplied by the first preset time.

[0052] S300: Based on the water consumption of the custom working mode in the first preset time period, determine the number of times the water flosser can operate in the custom working mode when the water tank is full of water, and send a corresponding parameter signal to an external terminal.

[0053] In this embodiment, step S300 also includes: each time the user uses the oral irrigator, the number of possible working times is reduced by one. When the number of possible working times is 0, a corresponding prompt signal is sent to the external terminal to remind the user to fill up the water before use.

[0054] The parameters represented by the parameter signal include the number of times the water flosser can be operated and the water consumption in the first preset time period. In this way, the user can understand the number of times the water flosser can be operated through an external terminal such as a mobile phone, and reasonably arrange the time to add water according to the number of times the water flosser can be operated; among which, the number of times the water flosser can be operated is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the full water volume of the water tank by the water consumption of the custom mode in the first preset time period.

[0055] Specifically, the present application first determines the water consumption rate of the water flosser in the custom working mode by the water consumption of the water flosser in the custom working mode per unit time, and determines the water consumption when the working time of the water flosser in the custom working mode reaches the first preset time according to the water consumption rate, wherein the first preset time can be the timing time set by the user. The present application also determines the number of times the water flosser can work in the custom working mode based on the full water volume of the water tank based on the water consumption of the custom working mode, and sends the corresponding parameter signal to the external terminal. With such a setting, in actual application, the user does not need to estimate the water consumption of the custom working mode or frequently check the remaining water volume in the water tank. The water flosser will automatically calculate the water consumption within the timing time (the first preset time) and prompt the user the number of times the custom working mode can work when the water tank is full of water, so that the user does not need to add water frequently during use, but only needs to add water after the number of uses reaches the number of times that can work, avoiding the situation where frequent water addition after each use or the water flosser will be interrupted due to insufficient water volume when it is used next time, thereby improving the overall use experience of the water flosser.

[0056] refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present application, the custom working mode includes multiple working gears, and the method further includes:

[0057] S400: If the duration of the button being triggered reaches a second preset duration, the water flosser is controlled to enter a setting mode of a custom working mode, and the water flosser is controlled to work at the working gear set last time;

[0058] S410: If a switching signal is received within a preset time, switching to another working gear;

[0059] If the switching signal is not received within the preset time, the current working gear is confirmed to be the target working gear, and the oral irrigator is controlled to work at the target working gear.

[0060] In this embodiment, the oral irrigator includes at least one mode button. When the user presses the mode button for 3 seconds (the second preset time), the oral irrigator enters the setting mode of the custom working mode. If the custom working mode has not been set before, the oral irrigator is controlled to work at the initial working gear. If the custom working mode has been set, the oral irrigator is controlled to work at the working gear set last time, so that the user can quickly adjust the working gear that suits him / herself. For example, when the injection pressure of the working gear set last time is slightly weaker by one gear, after the user enters the setting mode of the custom working mode, the user can directly switch to the next working gear by pressing the mode button to increase the injection pressure of the oral irrigator by one gear, thereby simplifying the user's operation process, and there is no need to press the switch button multiple times from the initial working gear to switch; if the user triggers the corresponding switching action within the second preset time (5 seconds), another working gear is switched. If no operation is performed within the preset time, the current working gear is locked as the target working gear, and the oral irrigator is controlled to work at the target working gear. With this setting, the user can set the working gear of the oral irrigator according to his / her own needs. Among them, the jet water pressure of the water flosser depends on the duty cycle signal output to the motor, and different working gears represent different duty cycle signals. For example, the duty cycle signals of multiple working gears are 32%, 39%, 46%, 53%, 60%, 67%, 74%, 81%, 90% and 100% respectively, among which the working mode corresponding to 32% is the initial working mode. Users can select one of the working gears as the working gear of the custom working mode according to actual needs.

[0061] Further, in this embodiment, if the duration of the button being triggered reaches a second preset duration, the step of controlling the oral irrigator to enter the setting mode of the custom mode and controlling the oral irrigator to work at the working gear set last time also includes:

[0062] If the duration of the button being triggered reaches the third preset duration, the water flosser is controlled to enter the setting mode of the custom mode, and the water flosser is controlled to work in the initial working gear; wherein the water consumption of the initial working gear is the smallest among the multiple working gears.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the user presses and holds the mode button for 10 seconds (the third preset duration), the water flosser enters the setting mode of the custom working mode and controls the water flosser to work at the initial working gear. In this way, when the user uses a water flosser that has been used by others or a newly-made water flosser, he or she can gradually try and adjust from the initial working gear to a more suitable working gear according to personal oral condition, sensitivity and cleaning needs. This gradually increasing gear setting method not only helps the user gradually adapt to the water flow intensity of the water flosser, but also effectively avoids the discomfort or harm that may be caused by directly using too high a gear.

[0064] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0065] S500: Obtaining the remaining water volume in the water tank;

[0066] The present application obtains the remaining water volume in the water tank through a liquid level measurement module, wherein the liquid level measurement module includes any one of a float type liquid level sensor, a static pressure type liquid level sensor, an ultrasonic liquid level sensor, a radar liquid level sensor or a capacitive liquid level sensor.

[0067] S510: comparing the water consumption of the custom working mode in the first preset time with the remaining water volume, if the water consumption of the custom working mode in the first preset time is greater than the remaining water volume, sending a corresponding prompt signal to the external terminal, and calculating the difference between the water consumption and the remaining water volume;

[0068] S520: Based on the difference, determine the amount of water that needs to be added to the water tank, and send a corresponding water parameter signal to an external terminal.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the water consumption of the water flosser is greater than the remaining water in the water tank, the water flosser sends a corresponding prompt signal to the external terminal to remind the user that the water in the water tank is insufficient and water needs to be added before using the water flosser. The water flosser sends the amount of water that needs to be added to the water tank to the external terminal to remind the user of the current amount of water that needs to be added. In this way, in practical applications, such as camping in the wild, the water resources carried may be limited. When the water flosser prompts that the water tank is insufficient and displays the amount of water that needs to be added, the user can accurately add the required amount of water to the water tank instead of blindly adding too much or too little, thereby avoiding the waste of water resources. When traveling or on a business trip, the user may face different water source conditions, such as the limited amount of water provided by the hotel, the faucet in the public restroom, etc. By understanding the amount of water to be added, the user can better plan how to obtain and allocate water resources to ensure that the use of the water flosser is completed under limited conditions.

[0070] refer to Figure 4In one embodiment of the present application, after the step of obtaining the remaining water volume in the water tank, the step further includes:

[0071] S5011: Determine the number of times that the multiple working modes can operate under the remaining water volume according to the water consumption of the multiple working modes in the first preset time and the remaining water volume in the water tank;

[0072] S5012: Compare the number of times that multiple working modes can work under the remaining water volume with the preset number of times, determine the working mode corresponding to the working number that is greater than or equal to the preset number of times, and send a corresponding parameter signal to the external terminal according to the corresponding working mode.

[0073] In this embodiment, the number of working times is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the water consumption of the working mode in the first preset time period by the remaining water. The water flosser includes a gentle working mode, a cleaning working mode, a spot-shooting working mode and a custom working mode. The water consumption of each working mode is different. The water consumption of the above-mentioned multiple working modes increases from gentle to spot-shooting, and the water consumption of the custom working mode depends on the set working gear. The present application determines the number of times multiple working modes can work based on the remaining water volume based on the water consumption of multiple working modes in the first preset time period and the remaining water volume in the water tank, and filters out the working numbers that are greater than or equal to the preset number. With this arrangement, when traveling or on a business trip, due to limited water resources, the user needs to reasonably arrange the number of times the water flosser is used according to the remaining water volume in the water tank. The present application can send corresponding parameter signals to the external terminal so that the user can quickly understand through the mobile phone the working modes that the water flosser can support a preset number of times under the current remaining water volume. For example, if you are traveling for a day and need to use the water flosser 3 times a day, the present application can determine the working mode that can work up to 3 times and provide it to the user to help the user make a reasonable choice and ensure that the user can complete the necessary cleaning work with limited water resources.

[0074] refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present application, after the step of obtaining the remaining water volume in the water tank, the step further includes:

[0075] S5021: Compare the water consumption of the current working mode during the first preset time with the remaining water volume;

[0076] S5022: If the water consumption of the current working mode in the first preset time is greater than the remaining water volume, calculating the difference between the water consumption of the multiple working modes of the oral irrigator in the first preset time and the remaining water volume;

[0077] S5023: Compare multiple differences, determine the working mode corresponding to the minimum difference, and output a corresponding prompt signal to an external terminal.

[0078] In this embodiment, through the above steps, when the water consumption of the current working mode in the first preset time is greater than the remaining water volume in the water tank, the present application can determine the working mode that is suitable for the water consumption and the remaining water volume in the first preset time by subtracting the water consumption and the remaining water volume of multiple working modes, thereby helping the user to maximize the use of the remaining water volume. With this arrangement, when nearby water resources are scarce, if the working mode that the user is accustomed to using consumes more water than the remaining water volume in the water tank in the first preset time, the user can select the corresponding working mode according to the prompt of the water use evaluation method of the present application, thereby making quick adjustments to keep the oral cavity clean and comfortable.

[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0080] If the water consumption of the current working mode in the first preset time period is less than the remaining water volume, then based on the water consumption of the working mode in the first preset time period and the remaining water volume, confirm the number of times the water flosser can work in the current working mode based on the remaining water volume, and send a corresponding parameter signal to the external terminal.

[0081] In this embodiment, after using the water flosser, if the water consumption of the current working mode in the first preset time period is less than the remaining water, the number of times the water flosser can work in the current working mode based on the remaining water is determined. With such a setting, in actual applications, after the user has used the water flosser, if there is a large amount of water remaining, the water flosser will send a corresponding parameter signal to the mobile phone to prompt the user that the remaining water amount supports the number of working times of the current working mode. For the user, this avoids the situation where frequent water addition after each use or the water flosser is interrupted due to insufficient water when used next time, thereby reducing the number of times the water flosser is added, thereby improving the overall user experience of the water flosser.

[0082] It should be noted that when the remaining water amount in the water flosser is insufficient or the number of working times in the current working mode is insufficient, in addition to outputting a corresponding prompt signal to the external terminal, the present application can also control the LED light, buzzer or vibration module provided in the water flosser to make corresponding prompt actions to remind the user that the remaining water amount in the water flosser is insufficient or the number of working times in the current working mode is insufficient.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, the oral irrigator comprises a battery, a first indicator light and a second indicator light, and the method further comprises:

[0084] Get the voltage of the front battery;

[0085] If the first voltage of the battery is within a first voltage range, controlling the first indicator light to flash within a preset time;

[0086] If the voltage of the battery is within the second voltage range, controlling the second indicator light to flash within a preset time;

[0087] If the voltage of the battery is within the third voltage range, the second indicator light is controlled to flash continuously for multiple times, and the water flosser is controlled to shut down; wherein the first voltage range is greater than the second voltage range, and the second voltage range is greater than the third voltage range.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first indicator light is a green LED light, and the second indicator light is a red LED light. When the battery voltage is between 3.3V and 4.2V, it indicates that the battery is sufficiently charged, and the green LED light is controlled to stay on to prompt the user that the water flosser is sufficiently charged; when the battery voltage is between 3.0V and 3.3V, it indicates that the battery is low on power, and the red LED light is controlled to stay on to prompt the user that the water flosser is low on power and needs to be charged in time; when the battery voltage is below 3.0V, it indicates that the battery power is seriously insufficient and the water flosser cannot continue to work. This application prompts the user that the water flosser urgently needs to be charged by controlling the red LED light to flash 5 times, and controls the water flosser to stop working after the flashing is completed, so as to avoid damage to the battery or the water flosser due to excessive discharge of the battery.
