Description

[0002] When using toothpaste, users usually squeeze out the toothpaste according to their living habits or randomly, that is, the amount of toothpaste squeezed out is different each time it is used. When the squeezing force is greater during a single use, the amount squeezed out is greater; when the squeezing force is less during use, the amount squeezed out is smaller. It is impossible to effectively control the amount of toothpaste squeezed out.

[0003] Toothpaste usually has only a single cavity. As people's lives improve, there are situations where two paste components are mixed for use. If the two paste components are assembled in different toothpastes, users need to buy and carry two toothpastes when buying and using them, which is inconvenient. And if the two paste components are mixed in advance, the ingredients will change due to the long-term pre-mixing, resulting in the problem that the expected effect cannot be achieved. And if multiple cavities are formed in the toothpaste, and different pastes are respectively installed in different cavities, then due to the small volume of the toothpaste itself, how to drive so that the pastes in different cavities can be squeezed out at the same time has become a problem that people urgently need to solve.

[0049] The first extrusion assembly 21 includes a first screw rod 211 and a first extrusion piece 212, and the second extrusion assembly 22 includes a second screw rod 221 and a second extrusion piece 222. The first extrusion piece 212 is installed on the first screw rod 211. When the first screw rod 211 rotates, the first extrusion piece 212 is driven to move downward in the first storage cavity 2041; the second extrusion piece 222 is installed on the second screw rod 221.

[0058] Embodiment 2:

[0059] like Figure 8 , a control method comprising the following steps:

[0060] Step S101, controlling the driving gear to rotate to an initial angle;

[0061] Step S102, detecting whether the extrusion amount of the paste needs to be increased or decreased;

[0062] If the amount of paste extruded needs to be reduced, the process proceeds to step S103; if the amount of paste extruded needs to be increased, the process proceeds to step S104;

[0063] Step S103, controlling the driving gear to reduce the rotation angle;

[0064] Step S104, controlling the driving gear to increase the rotation angle.

[0065] The present invention provides a control method, which can increase or decrease the extrusion amount of the paste by adjusting the rotation angle of the driving gear, so that the extrusion amount of the paste can meet the needs of users.

[0066] Step S101, the specific steps of controlling the driving gear to rotate to an initial angle are:

[0067] Step S11, obtaining the user's age;

[0068] Step S12, obtaining an initial rotation angle according to the user's age.

[0069] Different age groups use different amounts of toothpaste. When the age group is younger, the amount of toothpaste used is smaller; when the age group is older, the amount of toothpaste used is also smaller. When the age group is 19-35, the amount of toothpaste used is generally larger. The initial extrusion amount of toothpaste is obtained according to different age groups, so that the initial extrusion amount can meet the needs of users as much as possible.

[0070] Among them, step S12, the step of obtaining the initial rotation angle according to the user's age is specifically as follows:

[0071] Step S121, when the user is 3-5 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate a first preset angle;

[0072] Step S122, when the user is 6-8 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate a second preset angle;

[0073] Step S123, when the user is 9-12 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate a third preset angle;

[0074] Step S124, when the user is 13-15 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate to a fourth preset angle;

[0075] Step S125, when the user is 16-18 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate to a fifth preset angle;

[0076] Step S126, when the user is between 19 and 35 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate to a sixth preset angle;

[0077] Step S127, when the user is 36-50 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate to a seventh preset angle;

[0078] Step S128, when the user is 51-60 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate to an eighth preset angle;

[0079] Step S129, when the user is 61-70 years old, controlling the driving gear to rotate to a ninth preset angle;

[0080] Step S130: When the user is 71-80 years old, the driving gear is controlled to rotate to a tenth preset angle.

[0081] Among them, the first preset angle is smaller than the second preset angle; the second preset angle is smaller than the third preset angle; the third preset angle is smaller than the fourth preset angle; the fourth preset angle is smaller than the fifth preset angle; the fifth preset angle is smaller than the sixth preset angle; the sixth preset angle is greater than the seventh preset angle; the seventh preset angle is greater than the eighth preset angle; the eighth preset angle is greater than the ninth preset angle; the ninth preset angle is greater than the tenth preset angle.

[0082] For users of different age groups, the starting rotation angle is different, and the appropriate amount of toothpaste paste can be squeezed out according to different age groups, so that the initial squeezed amount can meet the user's needs as much as possible, reducing the number of times the subsequent user adjusts the usage amount. When the user is not satisfied with the initial squeezed amount, the squeezed amount can also be adjusted.

[0083] In step S103, the method of controlling the driving gear to reduce the rotation angle is specifically as follows:

[0084] The driving gear is controlled to lower the rotation to a preset lowering angle, wherein the preset lowering angle is 3-5 degrees.

[0085] In step S104, the method of controlling the driving gear to increase the rotation angle is specifically as follows:

[0086] The driving gear is controlled to increase the rotation by a preset increase angle, wherein the preset increase angle is 3-5 degrees.

[0087] The above-mentioned preferred implementation modes should be regarded as illustrative examples of the implementation modes of the present application scheme. Any technical deductions, replacements, improvements, etc. that are identical or similar to the present application scheme or made based on this scheme should be regarded as within the scope of protection of this patent.
