[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited.

In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0041] The movement, personal care device and control method thereof provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] The personal care device of the embodiment of the present application may be, for example, an electric toothbrush, a skin care device, a face wash device, etc., and the consumables may be substances such as toothpaste, skin care products, detergents, etc. For ease of understanding and explanation, the embodiment of the present application is specifically described by taking an electric toothbrush as an example.

[0043] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, personal protection equipment includes:

[0044] Consumables container 1;

[0045] Movement 2;

[0046] Nursing Unit 3;

[0047] A plurality of independent consumable flow channels connecting the consumable container 1, the core 2 and the nursing unit 3.

[0048] The cross-sectional shape of each consumable flow channel can be one or more combinations of circular, elliptical, polygonal, and irregular shapes. Moreover, each consumable flow channel can be a straight pipe, a curved pipe, a spiral pipe, or an irregular pipe, which is not limited in the present application.

[0049] The movement 2 will be described below.

[0050] like Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, movement 2 includes:

[0051] A first power device 21, the first power device 21 is used to provide consumables conveying power for the consumables container 1 of the personal care equipment, and the first power device 21 has at least two driving states;

[0052] A second power device 22, the second power device 22 is used to provide power for the nursing unit 3 of the personal care device;

[0053] The first power device 21 and the second power device 22 are respectively provided with at least two independent channels, and the corresponding channels of the first power device 21 and the second power device 22 are connected in sequence to form at least two independent consumable flow channels.

[0054] In some embodiments, the movement 2 may further include a first connection seat 23 connecting the first power device 21 and the second power device 22. In this embodiment, the first connection seat 23 is provided with at least two independent channels, and the corresponding channels of the first power device 21, the first connection seat 23 and the second power device 22 are connected in sequence to form at least two independent consumable flow channels.

[0055] It should be understood that the first power device 21 and the second power device 22 may be directly connected or connected via the first connecting seat 23 .

[0056] The personal care device of the embodiment of the present application forms an overall independent consumable flow channel by utilizing the channels or grooves set by internal components (such as the first power device 21, the first connecting seat 23, and the second power device 22) through multiple segmented channels or grooves, thereby realizing the independent transmission of multiple consumables and avoiding mixing and contamination of different consumables.

[0057] For ease of explanation and understanding, the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the setting of two independent consumable flow channels as an example. The first consumable flow channel is used to transport the first type of consumable, and the second consumable flow channel is used to transport the second type of consumable. Since the two consumable flow channels are transported independently, there will be no problem of mixing of consumables, which can fundamentally solve the problem of mixing and mutual contamination when multiple consumables are transported.

[0058] The flow path of the consumables in the core 2 is: first power device 21 → first connection seat 23 → second power device 22. The specific structure of each part of the core 2 of the present application is described in sequence according to the flow path of the consumables:

[0059] like Figure 5As shown, the first power device 21 is used to provide conveying power for the whole process of outputting consumables from the consumable container 1 to the nursing unit 3. In the embodiment of the present application, one first power device 21 can be used to simultaneously control the consumable output of two consumable flow channels, or two independent first power devices 21 can be used to respectively control the consumable output of the two consumable flow channels.

[0060] In some embodiments, a first power device 21 is used to control the consumable output of two consumable flow channels, which helps save the installation space of the first power device 21 and facilitates the miniaturized design of the entire machine.

[0061] The first power device 21 can have a single or multiple driving states, that is, the consumables of different consumable flow channels can be output simultaneously or separately, that is, the present application does not limit the output sequence and output time of the consumables.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first power device 21 includes at least two driving states, and the at least two driving states are used to respectively control the output of consumables in at least two independent consumable flow channels.

[0063] The first power device 21 is a driving device with at least two driving states, such as a rotary pump. The rotary pump includes any one of a peristaltic pump, a gear pump, a screw pump, a rotor pump, and a plunger pump.

[0064] Taking two independent consumable flow channels as an example, the first power device 21 has two driving states. Then, by switching the two driving states of the first power device 21 (such as forward rotation and reverse rotation), the output of the consumables of the two independent consumable flow channels can be controlled respectively. For example, when the first power device 21 rotates forward, the first consumable flow channel is in a conducting state, the second consumable flow channel is in a non-conducting state, the first consumable is output from the first consumable flow channel, and the second consumable is not output; and when the first power device 21 reverses, the second consumable flow channel is in a conducting state, the first consumable flow channel is in a non-conducting state, the second consumable is output from the second consumable flow channel, and the first consumable is not output.

[0065] It is understandable that the first power device 21 can also control the simultaneous output of consumables in two consumable flow channels when rotating forward or reversely. The specific setting can be based on the care mode corresponding to the consumables, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0066] Taking three consumable flow channels as an example, the first power device 21 can control the output of the consumables of the three consumable flow channels at the same time, and can also control the output of one of the consumable flow channels and two consumable flow channels respectively through the forward and reverse rotation of a first power device 21. For example, the consumable output of the first consumable flow channel is controlled during forward rotation, and the consumable output of the second consumable flow channel and the third consumable flow channel is controlled simultaneously during reverse rotation. For another example, the first consumable flow channel is controlled during reverse rotation, and the second consumable flow channel and the third consumable flow channel are controlled during forward rotation, and so on. When there are four, five or more consumable flow channels, the consumable flow channels, the number and type of consumables corresponding to the different driving states of the first power device 21 can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not limit this. In other words, this application does not limit the number, type, and output order of consumables of multiple consumable flow channels, and there can be many variations and combinations, which can be set according to the actual care needs and the reasonable combination of the types of consumables, and this is not limited.

[0067] It should be noted that the consumables are output from independent flow channels, so they will not be mixed. Here, different driving states of the first power device 21 are simply used to switch and regulate the consumable output of different consumable flow channels.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first power device 21 includes:

[0069] A driving pump 211, wherein the driving pump 211 includes at least two driving states, and the driving pump 211 is provided with at least two feeding interfaces 217 and at least two discharging interfaces;

[0070] At least two one-way valves 212, at least two one-way valves 212 are respectively arranged at at least two feed interfaces 217 or at least two discharge interfaces, or at least two one-way valves 212 are respectively arranged at corresponding consumable flow channels;

[0071] Wherein, when the driving pump 211 is in different driving states, at least part of the at least two consumable flow paths are in a conducting state.

[0072] Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of the one-way valve 212 is shown. The one-way valve 212 is provided to ensure that the consumables can only be transported in one direction. The one-way valve 212 can be provided at the feed interface 217 of the driving pump 211, or at the discharge interface of the driving pump 211. If the one-way valve 212 is provided at the feed interface 217 of the driving pump 211, the one-way valve 212 constitutes the feed end of the driving pump 211. By providing the one-way valve 212, it can be ensured that the first power device 21 outputs different consumables under different driving states to meet the needs of users.

[0073] In some embodiments, the driving pump 211 is a peristaltic pump, comprising:

[0074] Driving motor 213;

[0075] A first pump head 215a and a second pump head 215b respectively connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor 213;

[0076] The first hose 216a and the second hose 216b are arranged around the first pump head 215a, and the second hose 216b is arranged around the second pump head 215b. The inlet and outlet direction of the first hose 216a is opposite to that of the second hose 216b.

[0077] The forward rotation and reverse rotation of the driving motor 213 correspond to the first driving state and the second driving state respectively; when the driving motor 213 rotates in the first direction or the second direction, at least part of the at least two independent consumable flow channels is in a conducting state.

[0078] In this embodiment, the two hoses are arranged and led out from both sides of the peristaltic pump and can be connected to the input interfaces of the first connecting seat 23 respectively. This can make rational use of the internal space of the machine body, make the various components compactly arranged and connected, avoid increasing the volume of the whole machine, and facilitate the miniaturization of the whole machine.

[0079] In this embodiment, the forward and reverse rotation of the peristaltic pump and the one-way transmission function of the one-way valve 212 are used to realize the transmission of at least two consumables. The working principle is as follows:

[0080] Taking at least two one-way valves 212 including a first one-way valve 212a and a second one-way valve 212b as an example, the two one-way valves 212 allow the consumables to be input into the hose of the peristaltic pump in one direction only, and at the same time, the two hoses are arranged around the corresponding pump head of the peristaltic pump; but the in-and-out winding directions of the two hoses are opposite, the in-and-out winding direction of one hose is clockwise, and the in-and-out winding direction of the other hose is counterclockwise. Thus, when the peristaltic pump rotates forward (clockwise), the first pump head 215a squeezes the first hose 216a, so that the first consumable in the first chamber of the consumable container 1 flows through the first hose 216a, the first connecting seat 23, the second power device 22, and finally outputs through the nursing unit 3. Since the conduction direction of the second one-way valve 212b is opposite to the direction of the peristaltic pump at this time, the consumable flow channel where the second one-way valve 212b is located is in a non-conducting state, so the second consumable in the second chamber of the consumable container 1 will not be transmitted. When the peristaltic pump rotates in the reverse direction (counterclockwise), the second consumable is output, and the first consumable is not output.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first one-way valve 212a and the second one-way valve 212b are respectively disposed at any of the following positions:

[0082] A feed interface 217 or a discharge interface of a driving pump 211;

[0083] The outlet end, the inlet end, or between the inlet end and the outlet end of the first hose 216a or the second hose 216b.

[0084] Specifically, the first one-way valve 212a is disposed at the feed interface 217 of the driving pump 211, or the first one-way valve 212a is disposed at the discharge interface of the driving pump 211, or the first one-way valve 212a is disposed at the inlet end of the first hose 216a, or the first one-way valve 212a is disposed at the outlet end of the first hose 216a, or the first one-way valve 212a is disposed between the inlet end and the outlet end of the first hose 216a;

[0085] The second one-way valve 212b is arranged at the feed interface 217 of the driving pump 211, or the second one-way valve 212b is arranged at the discharge interface of the driving pump 211, or the second one-way valve 212b is arranged at the inlet end of the second hose 216b, or the second one-way valve 212b is arranged at the outlet end of the second hose 216b, or the second one-way valve 212b is arranged between the inlet end and the outlet end of the second hose 216b.

[0086] In this embodiment, the one-way valve 212 can be set at the feed interface position or the discharge interface position of the peristaltic pump, or at the inlet end position or the outlet end position of the hose, or at the input interface position of the first connecting seat 23. In other words, there is no restriction on the setting position of the one-way valve 212, and the one-way valve 212 can be set at any position of the consumable flow channel from the first connecting seat 23 to the consumable container 1. Preferably, the one-way valve 212 can be set at the feed interface position of the peristaltic pump, so that the consumables will enter the consumable flow channel only when they need to be output.

[0087] In some embodiments, the movement 2 also includes at least two input pipelines 24, and the input pipelines 24 and the corresponding hoses are connected through a feed interface 217, wherein the at least two one-way valves are respectively arranged in the corresponding input pipelines 24, and the conduction direction of the at least two one-way valves is consistent with the consumable input direction.

[0088] In some embodiments, the hose of the driving pump 211 may be directly connected to the first connecting seat 23 , or the movement 2 further includes at least two connecting members 25 , and the first connecting seat 23 and the corresponding hose are connected via the connecting members 25 .

[0089] In some embodiments, the driving pump 211 also includes a pump head housing and a pump head cover, the first pump head 215a and the second pump head 215b are arranged in the space defined by the pump head housing and the pump head cover, and the first hose 216a and the second hose 216b are arranged in the space defined by the pump head housing and the pump head.

[0090] In some embodiments, the driving pump 211 further includes a reduction motor 214 disposed between the driving motor 213 and the pump head. The reduction motor 214 may be a gear or planetary gear structure.

[0091] like Figure 3 to Figure 4 ,as well as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the movement 2 further includes a first connecting seat 23 connecting the first power device 21 and the second power device 22, and the first connecting seat 23 is movably disposed between the first power device 21 and the second power device 22;

[0092] The second power device 22 includes a motor 221 having a hollow rotating shaft 222 , and the hollow rotating shaft 222 has at least two third channels 227 ;

[0093] The first connecting seat 23 is provided with at least two independent channels for connecting the third channel 227 of the hollow rotating shaft 222 with the corresponding first hose 216a and second hose 216b respectively.

[0094] Specifically, the first connecting seat 23 can be vibrated, swung or rotated between the first power device 21 and the second power device 22, so that the first connecting seat 23 can vibrate, swing or rotate with the rotation of the hollow shaft 222, and the hose can follow the deformation, allowing a certain vibration amplitude, swing amplitude or rotation amplitude. Exemplarily, the first connecting seat 23 can swing with the rotation of the hollow shaft, and the hose can follow the deformation, allowing a certain swing amplitude. By setting the first connecting seat 23, on the one hand, it can facilitate the connection and assembly between the hose and the hollow shaft 222, and improve the stability of the connection between the hose and the hollow shaft 222; on the other hand, because the first connecting seat 23 can swing, it can reduce the impact on the amplitude or swing of the second power device 22 while realizing the transmission of consumables.

[0095] The first power device 21 can be any one of a sonic motor, a servo motor or a magnetic levitation motor.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first connection base 23 is provided with a first interface 231a adapted to the first hose 216a, and a second interface 231b adapted to the second hose 216b, the first interface 231a is used to be plugged with the first hose 216a, and the second interface 231b is used to be plugged with the second hose 216b;

[0097] The first connecting seat 23 is also provided with a slot 232 adapted to the hollow rotating shaft 222, and the slot 232 is used for inserting the hollow rotating shaft 222 of the second power device 22; the slot 232 is separated to form an independent first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber is connected to the first interface 231a and the third channel 227 corresponding to the hollow rotating shaft 222, and the second chamber is connected to the second interface 231b and the third channel 227 corresponding to the hollow rotating shaft 222.

[0098] It should be understood that the two interfaces of the first connecting seat 23 (i.e., the first interface 231a and the second interface 231b) can be all set at the upper end of the first connecting seat 23, or all set at the lower end of the first connecting seat 23, or respectively set on both sides of the first connecting seat 23, or respectively set at the upper end and lower end of the first connecting seat 23, or respectively set at the upper end (or lower end) and any side of the first connecting seat 23. That is to say, there are many embodiments for the setting positions of the first interface 231a and the second interface 231b, and this application does not limit this.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first connecting seat 23 includes a first connecting plate 233 and a second connecting plate 234, the slot 232 is arranged on the first connecting plate 233, and the first interface 231a and the second interface 231b are arranged on the first connecting plate 233 or the second connecting plate 234; the first connecting plate 233 and the second connecting plate 234 are both provided with concave cavities, and when the first connecting plate 233 is connected to the second connecting plate 234, the concave cavities respectively connect the corresponding chambers of the first interface 231a, the second interface 231b and the slot 232.

[0100] By configuring the first connection seat 23 to have a structure of a first connection plate 233 and a second connection plate 234 , the manufacture, installation and disassembly of the first connection seat 23 can be facilitated.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first connection seat 23 further includes a first sealing member 235 disposed in the slot 232. The first sealing member 235 may be, for example, a sealing gasket. By providing the first sealing member 235, leakage of the consumables during transmission can be prevented.

[0102] In some embodiments, the first connection seat 23 is provided with a counterweight 236. The counterweight 236 is used to increase the weight of the first connection seat 23, so that when the first connection seat 23 is driven by the hollow shaft of the second power device 22 to swing, the inertia can be used to increase the swing amplitude of the hollow shaft of the second power device 22, which is beneficial to increase the swing amplitude of the second power device 22, thereby facilitating improving the nursing effect of the personal care device.

[0103] like Figure 10 to Figure 11 As shown, the second power device 22 is a motor 221 having a multi-channel hollow shaft 222, including:

[0104] Multi-channel hollow shaft 222;

[0105] A rotor assembly 223 mounted on a multi-channel hollow shaft 222; and

[0106] The stator assembly 224 is spaced apart from the rotor assembly 223 .

[0107] In some embodiments, the rotor assembly 223 includes a rotor support and a coil wound on the rotor support, and the rotor support is formed by stacking a plurality of silicon steel sheets. The stator assembly includes a stator support and a permanent magnet installed on the stator support.

[0108] In some embodiments, the coils of the rotor assembly 223 may also be wound around the stator assembly, and the permanent magnets may be disposed on the rotor assembly 223 , which is not limited in the present application.

[0109] In some embodiments, the motor 221 further includes a housing, which includes a front cover 225 and a rear cover 226 connected to the front cover 225. The two ends of the hollow shaft 222 pass through the housing. The motor 221 further includes two bearings respectively disposed at the two ends of the multi-channel hollow shaft 222.

[0110] The hollow shaft 222 is provided with a plurality of independent third channels 227, so the hollow shaft 222 can be called a multi-channel hollow shaft. In this specific embodiment, the hollow shaft 222 can be provided with two independent third channels 227, and the hollow shaft 222 has a shaft body and a separator connected to the shaft body, and the separator separates the shaft body to form two independent third channels 227.

[0111] The hollow shaft 222 may be a round tube or a flat tube. In particular, one end of the hollow shaft 222 connected to the rotor assembly 223 is configured as a flat tube, which can ensure that the hollow shaft 222 has enough space to set up multiple channels while reducing the installation space occupied by the rotor bracket, thereby facilitating the rotor bracket to reserve more space for winding, thereby increasing the number of turns of the coil winding, thereby improving the performance of the motor 221 (such as increasing the swing amplitude and torque of the motor 221) without increasing the volume of the motor 221.

[0112] Correspondingly, the slot 232 of the first connecting seat 23 is also in the shape of a flat tube, that is, the shapes and structures of the two are compatible.

[0113] The above specifically describes the components of the movement 2. The following describes the personal care device including the movement 2.

[0115] The first power device 21 of the movement 2 is connected to the consumables container 1 , and the second power device 22 of the movement 2 is connected to the nursing unit 3 .

[0116] like Figure 12 to Figure 13 As shown, the consumable container 1 is used to store a variety of consumables, and the consumable container 1 is provided with a plurality of independent consumable cavities 11 and a plurality of independent consumable outlets 12; the plurality of consumable cavities 11 can store the same or different consumables.

[0117] The first power device 21, the second power device 22 and the nursing unit 3 are respectively provided with at least two independent channels, and the corresponding channels of the first power device 21, the second power device 22 and the nursing unit 3 are sequentially connected to form at least two independent consumable flow channels;

[0118] The consumable outlet 12 is communicated with the corresponding consumable cavity 11 and is communicated with at least one consumable flow channel.

[0119] When the movement 2 includes the first connection seat 23, the corresponding channels of the first power device 21, the first connection seat 23, the second power device 22 and the nursing unit 3 are connected in sequence to form at least two independent consumable flow channels. In this way, the flow path of the consumables is: consumable container 1 → first power device 21 → first connection seat 23 → second power device 22 → nursing unit 3.

[0120] In some embodiments, the consumable container 1 includes a container body and an outlet portion extending from the container body, a plurality of independent consumable cavities 11 are arranged in the container body, and a plurality of independent consumable outlets 12 are located at the outlet portion.

[0121] In some embodiments, the outlet portion is further provided with a mounting groove 13 , and the consumable container 1 further includes a chip 14 disposed in the mounting groove 13 , and the chip 14 is used to communicate with the movement 2 .

[0122] Additionally, the consumable container 1 further comprises a chip protection cover 15 for protecting the chip 14. The chip 14 may be a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip 14 or a near field communication (NFC) chip 14.

[0123] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 13 is annularly surrounding a plurality of independent consumable outlets 12, and the chip 14 is annularly structured and disposed in the mounting groove 13. Such a configuration can ensure that the chip 14 is within the communication distance of the movement 2, ensuring the stability of the communication between the two; and can reasonably utilize the space of the consumable outlet 12, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the consumable container.

[0124] In some embodiments, the consumable container 1 further includes a piston 16 slidably disposed in the consumable cavity 11, so that the piston 16 can slide along the inner wall of the consumable cavity 11. The piston 16 can move along the inner wall of the container body, and is used to push the consumables in the corresponding consumable cavity 11 to be output from the consumable outlet 12 when the first power device 21 provides a conveying force.

[0125] Specifically, the piston 16 may include a piston bracket 161 and a piston soft rubber part 162 arranged on the piston bracket 161. The piston soft rubber part 162 can form a movable sealing connection with the inner wall of the container body. On the one hand, the piston 16 can slide along the inner wall, and on the other hand, the piston 16 can form a seal to avoid leakage when pushing the consumables.

[0126] In some embodiments, the consumable container 1 further includes a bottom plate 163 disposed at the bottom of the container body, and the bottom plate 163 is provided with a plurality of through holes 164 corresponding to the plurality of independent consumable cavities 11 .

[0127] The through hole 164 is used for draining liquid and exhausting air. Draining liquid can prevent bacteria from growing and improve hygiene. Exhausting air can balance the internal and external air pressure of the consumable container 1, so that the consumables can be output more stably and smoothly.

[0128] In some embodiments, Fig.14 As shown, the personal care device further includes a second connecting seat 4, and the second connecting seat 4 connects the consumable container 1 and the first power device 21;

[0130] It should be noted that the second connecting seat 4 can also be used as a component of the movement 2, and this application does not limit this.

[0131] The waterproof part 41 is used for sealing and can be made of soft rubber material to prevent leakage of consumables during transmission.

[0132] The adapter seat 42 is provided with a second channel 44 corresponding to the corresponding first channel 43. In this embodiment, the adapter seat 42 includes a first adapter plate 421 and a second adapter plate 422 adapted to the first adapter plate 421. The first adapter plate 421 and the second adapter plate 422 are provided with corresponding multiple grooves on opposite sides, so that the two are fitted and sealed to form multiple independent second channels 44. The two ends of the second channel 44 are respectively connected to the first channel 43 and the corresponding input interface of the first power device 21.

[0133] By adopting two adapter plates to be sealed and connected to form the adapter seat 42, it is convenient to open the grooves and through holes, thereby facilitating production and manufacturing.

[0134] In some embodiments, Fig.13 As shown, the consumable container 1 includes a chip 14, and the movement 2 also includes a control unit, which is electrically connected to the first power device 21 and the second power device 22;

[0135] The second connecting base 4 further includes a coil support 423 disposed on the adapter base 42 , and a coil mounted on the coil support 423 . The coil is used to identify the chip 14 , and the control unit communicates with the chip 14 through the coil.

[0136] The control unit can, for example, be a circuit board. The control unit can identify and read information in the chip 14 of the consumable container 1 (i.e., information about the consumables in the consumable container 1) through the coil, and is used to control the operation of the first power device 21 and the second power device 22 according to the consumable information of the consumable container 1.

[0137] The chip 14 of the consumable container 1 is preferably an RFID chip, which can record information such as the quantity, type, weight, efficacy, color, flavor, manufacturer, effective time, viscosity, and suitable temperature of the consumables; when the personal care device also includes a care unit 3, the RFID chip can also record a care mode that matches the consumables, and the control unit can read the information recorded on the RFID chip (care mode) to adjust the working parameters of the first power device 21 and the second power device 22.

[0138] The nursing mode may include: the type, amount, output order, and ratio of consumables; the driving state, working frequency, and working time of the first power device 21; the working time, vibration frequency, and / or swing amplitude of the nursing unit 3, and other information.

[0139] In some embodiments, the control unit is also used to communicate with the mobile terminal and adjust the working parameters of the first power device 21 and the second power device 22 according to the instructions issued by the mobile terminal, and / or upgrade the chip 14 according to the instructions issued by the mobile terminal.

[0140] The user can send the nursing mode through the mobile terminal to adjust the working parameters of the first power device 21 and the second power device 22. The mobile terminal can also perform firmware upgrades on the chip 14 in the consumable container 1 through the control unit. The mobile terminal can be an application in a mobile phone, tablet computer, smart watch or other device.

[0141] In some embodiments, Fig.14 As shown, the second connecting seat 4 also includes a light-emitting component 424 disposed on the adapter seat 42, the light-emitting component 424 is electrically connected to the movement 2, and the light-emitting component 424 is used to indicate the status of the personal protection device.

[0142] Specifically, the light emitting element 424 is electrically connected to the control unit of the movement 2, and is used to emit different lights according to the instructions issued by the control unit to indicate different states of the personal protection device (including different working states, standby states, and abnormal states). The light emitting element 424 can be a light board, for example.

[0143] In some embodiments, the care unit 3 includes a care head 31 and a treatment device disposed on the care head 31. Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the care head 31 is provided with a discharge port 311, and the processing device is used to perform one or more care operations of temperature control, mixing, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism on the consumables.

[0144] Specifically, the care head 31 is provided with a plurality of fourth channels 312 respectively connected to the corresponding third channels 227 of the hollow rotating shaft 222, and the care head 31 is also provided with a plurality of discharge ports 311 respectively connected to the corresponding fourth channels 312, and the discharge ports 311 are the final output ports of the consumables.

[0145] The processing device can cool, heat, mix, light activate, electromagnetic activate, etc., to the consumables, which is conducive to stimulating the release of the effective ingredients of the consumables and maximizing the efficacy. The processing device can also be used to cooperate with the consumables to perform one or more care operations such as sound, light, electricity, magnetism, etc. on the user's oral cavity or skin.

[0146] That is to say, the processing device can perform one or more of the following treatments on the consumables: cooling, heating, mixing, photoactivation, electromagnetic activation, etc., which is helpful to stimulate the release of the effective ingredients of the consumables and maximize the efficacy.

[0147] The care head 31 can be a brush head, a skin care product application head or a massage head of a skin care device, a face washing head of a face washing device, a blade head of an electric shaver, or other modules.

[0148] Optionally, the care head 31 also includes a sealing connection assembly arranged at the input end, which is used for the care head 31 to form a detachable connection with the hollow rotating shaft 222. The sealing connection assembly includes a clamp 32 for forming a detachable connection with the hollow rotating shaft 222, a second sealing member 33 (such as sealing silicone) for forming a sealed connection between the care head 31 and the hollow rotating shaft 222, and an adapter 34 for connecting the corresponding fourth channel 312 of the care head 31 with the corresponding third channel 227 of the hollow rotating shaft 222.

[0149] Optionally, the care head 31 also includes a mounting groove for installing the hollow rotating shaft 222, the clamp 32 is arranged in the mounting groove, and the sealing connection assembly separates the mounting groove and the fourth channel 312 of the care head 31, and is used to connect the corresponding third channel 227 of the hollow rotating shaft 222 and the corresponding fourth channel 312 of the care head 31.

[0150] Since the arrangement of the multiple third channels 227 of the hollow shaft 222 can be longitudinal, transverse or irregular, the arrangement of the multiple fourth channels 312 of the care head 31 can also be longitudinal, transverse or irregular, and the channel positions of the two are not necessarily one-to-one corresponding. Therefore, in order to facilitate the connection between the channels of the hollow shaft 222 and the care head 31, optionally, the adapter 34 includes a first adapter 341 and a second adapter 342, and the first adapter 341 and the second adapter 342 are provided with corresponding perforations and adapter grooves connecting the corresponding perforations. When the two form a sealed connection, the perforations and the adapter grooves are connected to form a connecting groove connecting the corresponding third channel 227 of the hollow shaft 222 and the corresponding fourth channel 312 of the care head 31.

[0151] Preferably, in order to rationally utilize the space between the second power device 22 and the care head 31, a channel with a larger space is arranged to increase the flow rate of a single consumable flow channel. In this specific embodiment, the two third channels 227 of the hollow shaft 222 are arranged in parallel longitudinally, and the two fourth channels 312 of the care head 31 are arranged in parallel laterally. Through the perforations and adapter grooves of the first adapter 341 and the second adapter 342, the third channels 227 can be connected one-to-one with the corresponding fourth channels 312 to form independent flow channels.

[0152] In some embodiments, Fig.15 , Figures 17 to 19 As shown, the care head 31 is also provided with a third one-way valve 36, and the third one-way valve 36 is arranged at the discharge port. The third one-way valve 36 includes a plurality of one-way valve bodies, and the tops of the plurality of one-way valve bodies are concave to form a concave cavity, and the concave areas on the tops of the plurality of one-way valve bodies are provided with a plurality of outlets 37.

[0153] The third one-way valve 36 can be understood as a multi-channel one-way valve, the top of which is concave to form a cavity, and the multiple outlets 37 are all connected to the cavity. The advantage of setting the cavity is that the liquid of the consumables can be concentrated to avoid overflow from both sides and dripping of the consumables. The cavity can be a V-shaped cavity or a U-shaped cavity.

[0154] Optionally, the multi-channel one-way valve is a dual-channel (double-opening) one-way valve, including: an integrally formed first one-way valve body 361a and a second one-way valve body 361b, the first one-way valve body 361a being provided with a first outlet 371a connected to the corresponding fourth channel 312 of the care head 31; the second one-way valve body 361b being provided with a second outlet 371b connected to the corresponding fourth channel 312 of the care head 31.

[0155] In some embodiments, the plurality of outlets 37 are all inclined toward the middle of the cavity so that the consumables are concentrated in the middle of the cavity for output.

[0156] The multiple outlets 37 all extend obliquely toward the middle of the cavity, that is, the multiple outlets 37 all have a guiding slope for guiding the consumables to be output toward the middle of the cavity, which can ensure that the consumables are concentrated in the middle of the third one-way valve 36 for liquid discharge.

[0157] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, the independent consumable flow channel is composed of multiple sections of channels or through grooves. In this way, different consumables can be fully output from different consumable flow channels, avoiding the problem of mixing different consumables. At the same time, since the consumable flow channel of the present application is a segmented consumable flow channel formed by the hollow channel or through groove of the internal component, it is conducive to the lightweight and miniaturization of the personal care equipment.

[0158] The personal care device of the embodiment of the present application may be a handheld personal care device.

[0159] Take an electric toothbrush as an example. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the personal care device is an electric toothbrush, the consumable container 1 is a toothpaste bottle, the movement 2 is a toothbrush handle, the care unit 3 is a brush head, the first power device is a peristaltic pump, and the second power device is a sonic motor with a hollow shaft. The toothpaste bottle is provided with two toothpaste chambers, each containing two types of toothpaste. The output path of the toothpaste is: toothpaste bottle → second connection seat → peristaltic pump → first connection seat → hollow shaft of the sonic motor → brush head → third one-way valve.

[0160] The present application also relates to a control method for a personal care device, comprising the following steps:

[0161] Step S1: the control unit of the movement obtains consumables information, and sends a first control signal to the first power device according to the consumables information, and sends a second control signal to the second power device;

[0162] Step S2: the first power device conveys the target consumable to be output from the target consumable flow channel according to the first control signal;

[0163] Step S3: the second power device performs a nursing operation according to the second control signal and the working parameters matching the target consumables.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first control signal includes first control signaling and second control signaling;

[0165] The first power device conveys the target consumable to be output from the target consumable flow channel according to the first control signal, including:

[0166] When receiving the first control signal, the first power device executes a first driving state to output a first consumable;

[0167] When receiving the second control signal, the first power device executes a second driving state to output a second consumable;

[0168] The first consumable includes one or more consumables, and the second consumable includes one or more consumables.

[0169] The first driving state and the second driving state may be forward rotation or reverse rotation, the first consumable and the second consumable may be the same or different types of consumables, and the first consumable and the second consumable may also include one or more consumables.

[0170] In some embodiments, the control unit of the movement obtains the consumables information, including at least one of the following:

[0171] The control unit of the movement obtains the consumables information based on the instruction sent by the mobile terminal;

[0172] The control unit of the movement obtains the consumable information by reading the chip of the consumable container;

[0173] The control unit of the movement obtains consumables information based on received user input.

[0174] In the embodiment of the present application, by controlling the independent transmission of different consumables, a customized care process based on user needs can be completed on a personal care device to meet more user needs.

[0175] In summary, the personal care device of the present application realizes the transmission of at least two consumables by utilizing the cooperation of a first power device with multiple driving states and a one-way valve, for example, by utilizing the forward and reverse rotation of a rotary pump in combination with the setting of a one-way valve, thereby realizing the transmission of at least two consumables by adopting a first power device, thereby effectively saving internal space and reducing the size of the entire machine.

[0176] The personal care device of the present application makes rational use of internal components and space. For example, two hoses of the first power device (such as a peristaltic pump) are respectively arranged on both sides of the body, and the two hoses are connected to the hollow shaft of the motor by a first connecting seat; the shaft of the motor is set to be hollow to serve as a consumable material transmission channel; the care head and the movement are also set to be hollow to serve as a consumable material transmission channel; in this way, multiple independent consumable material flow paths are formed in a segmented manner by utilizing the hollow channels of the components of the personal care device itself; thereby, the independent transmission of multiple consumables can be achieved while realizing a miniaturized design of the entire machine; that is, the personal care device of the present application has a compact overall structure, small size and simple structure, and is easy to produce and manufacture.

[0177] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of the present application.
