[0002] For existing personal care devices with automatic consumable output functions, if too much consumables are pushed out, it is easy to cause waste, and may even affect the health of users due to excessive use of consumables. Taking electric toothbrushes as an example, if too much toothpaste is pushed out, on the one hand, it is easy to cause waste, and on the other hand, it will cause users to use too much toothpaste, causing oral health problems, and may even cause users to accidentally ingest fluoride in the toothpaste, causing fluorosis and dental fluorosis. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately control the amount of consumables pushed out to guide users to brush their teeth in a correct and healthy way.

[0058] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0059] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the term "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.

[0060] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 11 , the consumables output control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the consumables output control method of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0062] Step 101, during a consumables output cycle of a consumables transfer pump of a smart terminal, obtaining a current value of the consumables transfer pump at every preset time interval;

[0063] Step 102, determining the operating state of the consumable transfer pump during the consumable output cycle according to the current value;

[0064] Step 103: When it is determined that the running state in the consumables output cycle is in an idle state, the running time of the consumables output cycle is adjusted.

[0065] Optionally, the preset time may be set to be as short as possible, for example, the preset time is 1 second.

[0066] It should be noted that the smart terminal may be a smart toothbrush, a beauty instrument or a skin care instrument, and the consumables may be toothpaste or skin care products; the smart terminal includes a consumable bottle (such as a toothpaste bottle), a consumable transmission pump, a consumable transmission channel and a consumable output end (such as a toothbrush head or a skin care product output head); the two interfaces of the consumable transmission pump are respectively connected to the consumable bottle and the consumable transmission channel;

[0067] The consumables are transferred from the consumable bottle to the consumable output end through the consumable transfer channel by the consumable transfer pump.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the consumable transfer pump is a fluid pump, which is driven by a motor, and the operation of the motor and the fluid pump is controlled by a controller (Microcontroller Unit, MCU) and a control circuit to output the consumables from the consumable bottle to the consumable output end.

[0069] In the disclosed embodiment, the current value of the consumable transfer pump is collected by a control circuit, and the circuit diagram of the control circuit is as follows: Figure 3 As shown:

[0070] The control circuit is connected in series to the circuit of the consumable transfer pump through the first resistor R7 to perform voltage division;

[0071] The current value of the consumable transfer pump is collected through the second resistor R8 or the capacitor C8, and the collected current value is sent to the controller, so that the controller can obtain the current value of the consumable transfer pump in real time. The controller controls the operating parameters of the consumable transfer pump according to the current value, such as the speed, gear ratio and operating time of the consumable transfer pump.

[0072] Optionally, the consumable transfer pump is one of an air pump, a peristaltic pump, a gear pump, a screw pump and a rotor pump.

[0073] The consumables output control method of the disclosed embodiment can determine the operating state of the consumables transfer pump by collecting the current value consumed by the consumables transfer pump, so as to adjust the operating time of the consumables transfer pump when it is determined that the consumables transfer pump is in an unloaded operating state. The operating time of the consumables transfer pump can be extended in the presence of bubbles during the transmission of consumables, thereby ensuring the stability of the consumables output. The disclosed embodiment solves the problem that the consumables output of personal care equipment cannot maintain consistency and stability due to bubbles in the filling of consumables or air in the consumables pipeline.

[0074] Optionally, determining the operating state of the consumable transfer pump during the consumable output cycle according to the current value includes:

[0075] When the current value is less than a first preset threshold, determining that the operating state of the consumable transfer pump is no-load;

[0076] When the current value is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold value and less than a second preset threshold value, determining that the operating state of the consumable transfer pump is a load;

[0077] When the current value is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold, determining that the operating state of the consumable transfer pump is stuck;

[0078] The first preset threshold is smaller than the second preset threshold, and the second preset threshold is smaller than the third preset threshold.

[0079] Optionally, the operating state of the consumable transfer pump is determined by the current value of the consumable transfer pump;

[0080] Specifically, the operating state of the consumable transfer pump is determined by detecting the current value of the consumable transfer pump.

[0081] It should be noted that during the operation of the consumable transfer pump, if it is in a normal load condition, the current of the consumable transfer pump is within a relatively stable range;

[0082] During the operation of the consumable transfer pump, if there is no load, the current of the consumable transfer pump becomes smaller;

[0083] During the operation of the consumable transfer pump, if it gets stuck, the impedance of the consumable transfer pump will decrease sharply and the current will increase rapidly. However, because the hardware resistor R7 is connected in series inside the circuit, the current can be clamped in a relatively safe range.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, during the operation of the consumable transfer pump, if the current value of the consumable transfer pump is less than the first preset threshold value, it is determined that the consumable transfer pump is in a no-load state;

[0085] If the current value of the consumable transfer pump is less than the first preset threshold value, it is determined that the consumable transfer pump is in an unloaded state (that is, the consumable currently being transferred contains bubbles);

[0086] If the current value of the consumable transfer pump is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value and less than the second preset threshold value, it is determined that the consumable transfer pump is in a load state (that is, there are no bubbles in the consumables currently being transferred);

[0087] If the current value of the consumable transfer pump is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold, it is determined that the consumable transfer pump is in a stuck state;

[0088] The first preset threshold may be 200 mA, the second preset threshold may be 300 mA, and the third preset threshold may be 500 mA.

[0089] Optionally, when it is determined that the running state in the consumable output cycle is in an idle state, adjusting the running time of the consumable output cycle includes:

[0090] Determining the duration of time that the consumable transfer pump is in an unloaded state;

[0091] The running time of the consumable output cycle is adjusted according to the duration.

[0092] The consumable output control method of the disclosed embodiment can determine the time taken by the transmission bubbles during the current consumable output cycle by detecting the duration that the consumable transfer pump is in an unloaded state, thereby extending the operating time of the consumable output cycle, compensating for the time taken by the transmission bubbles, and ensuring the consistency and stability of the consumable transfer amount in each consumable transfer cycle.

[0093] Optionally, adjusting the running time of the consumable output cycle according to the duration includes:

[0094] Determine a first time when the consumable material transfer pump enters a no-load state and a second time when the consumable material transfer pump ends the no-load state;

[0095] Determine a first duration, where the first duration is the duration required for the consumable to be transferred from the consumable transfer pump input end to the consumable output end of the smart terminal;

[0096] Determine a third time when the consumable material output cycle starts and a fourth time when the consumable material output cycle ends;

[0097] Determine a compensation duration for the consumable output cycle according to the first moment, the second moment, the third moment, the fourth moment and the first duration;

[0098] The running time of the consumable output cycle is adjusted according to the compensation time.

[0099] It should be noted that the first duration is determined by pre-measurement;

[0100] Among them, the first duration is the time required for the consumables to travel from the input end of the consumable transfer pump (i.e., the connection between the consumable transfer pump and the consumable bottle) to the consumable output end of the smart terminal (such as a smart toothbrush head or a skin care product output head).

[0101] It should be noted that the consumables output cycle is a preset duration, and the consumables transmitted in each consumables output cycle are the consumables usage that can only be terminated at one time;

[0102] Among them, first, determine the amount of consumables required each time;

[0103] Then, the consumables output cycle is determined according to the amount of the consumables and the flow rate of the consumables transmitted by the smart terminal.

[0104] In the disclosed embodiment, the flow rate of the consumables transmitted by the smart terminal can be measured through testing (for example, when the entire cavity is full of consumables, the consumables are fixedly pushed out for 10S and the consumables are weighed. For example, if the weight is 5g, then the flow rate of the consumables is 0.5g / s), and then the time required to push the consumables (i.e., the consumables output cycle) can be calculated based on the actual demand for consumables.

[0105] The consumable output control method of the embodiment of the present invention determines the first moment when the consumable transfer pump enters the no-load state and the second moment when the consumable transfer pump ends the no-load state, the third moment when the consumable output cycle starts, and the fourth moment when the consumable output cycle ends; and based on the first time length measured in advance, determines the compensation time length required for the consumable output cycle, thereby ensuring the consistency of the amount of consumables transmitted in each consumable output cycle.

[0106] Optionally, determining the compensation duration for the consumable output cycle according to the first moment, the second moment, the third moment, the fourth moment and the first duration includes:

[0107] Determine a fifth moment, where the fifth moment is a moment after the first moment by the first time length;

[0108] Determine a sixth moment, where the sixth moment is a moment after the second moment by the first time period;

[0109] The compensation duration for the consumable output cycle is determined according to the first moment, the second moment, the third moment, the fourth moment, the first duration, the fifth moment, and the sixth moment.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the consumable transfer pump being in an unloaded state can be understood as bubbles existing in the consumable being transferred;

[0111] The first moment can be understood as the moment when the bubble enters the consumable transfer pump, and the second moment can be understood as the moment when the bubble pump is at the consumable transfer pump;

[0112] The fifth moment is the moment of the first duration after the first moment, that is, the fifth moment can be understood as the moment when the bubbles begin to reach the output end of the smart terminal, and the sixth moment can be understood as the moment when the bubbles are completely discharged from the smart terminal.

[0113] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the smart terminal is a smart toothbrush, and the consumable transfer pump is a toothpaste transfer pump 1;

[0114] The first moment when the consumable transfer pump enters the no-load state is the moment t1 when the bubbles start to enter the input end 11 of the consumable transfer pump, and the second moment when the consumable transfer pump ends the no-load state is the moment t2 when the bubbles are discharged from the output end 12 of the consumable transfer pump;

[0115] The first time length is the time Δt required for the consumables to be transferred from the input end 11 of the consumables transfer pump to the consumables output end 2;

[0116] The third moment is t3, and the fourth moment is t4;

[0117] The fifth moment is the moment t5=t1+Δt when the bubble is transmitted to the consumable output end 2;

[0118] The sixth moment is the moment t6=t2+Δt when the bubbles are completely discharged from the consumable output end 2.

[0119] Alternatively, if Figure 5 As shown, determining the compensation duration of the consumable output cycle according to the first moment, the second moment, the third moment, the fourth moment, the first duration, the fifth moment, and the sixth moment includes:

[0120] When the fifth moment is later than the fourth moment, the compensation duration is 0.

[0121] It should be noted that the current value is collected within the consumable output cycle, that is, the first moment and the second moment are both within the consumable output cycle;

[0122] The fifth moment t5 is later than the fourth moment t4. It can be understood that there are bubbles in the consumable output cycle T, but after the consumable output cycle T ends, the bubbles are still in the consumable transmission channel and have not reached the consumable output end of the smart terminal. Therefore, there is no need to compensate for the running time of the consumable output cycle.

[0123] The consumables output control method of the disclosed embodiment can determine whether the bubbles existing in the consumables output cycle reach the consumables output end of the smart terminal before the end of the consumables output cycle according to the sequence relationship between the fifth moment and the fourth moment, thereby determining the compensation duration of the consumables output cycle. The disclosed solution can calculate the actual transmission time of consumables in the consumables output cycle, thereby determining whether a sufficient amount of consumables has been transmitted in the consumables output cycle, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the consumables transmission amount of the smart terminal.

[0124] Optionally, determining the compensation duration for the consumable output cycle according to the first moment, the second moment, the third moment, the fourth moment, the first duration, the fifth moment, and the sixth moment includes:

[0125] In the case that the fifth moment is earlier than the fourth moment and the sixth moment is later than or equal to the fourth moment, the compensation duration is the duration from the fifth moment to the fourth moment.

[0126] It should be noted that if Figure 6 As shown, the fifth moment t5 is earlier than the fourth moment t4, and the sixth moment t6 is later than the fourth moment t4. It can be understood that there are bubbles in the consumable output cycle T and the bubbles reach the consumable output end of the smart terminal before the consumable output cycle T ends. At the same time, the bubbles are not completely discharged from the consumable output end of the smart terminal at the end of the consumable output cycle T. Therefore, only the duration from the fifth moment t5 to the fourth moment t4 (the transmission duration of the bubble discharge part) needs to be compensated for the consumable output cycle;

[0127] At the same time, if Figure 7 As shown, the fifth moment t5 is earlier than the fourth moment t4, and the sixth moment t6 is equal to the fourth moment t4. It can be understood that there are bubbles in the consumable output cycle T and the bubbles reach the consumable output end of the smart terminal before the end of the consumable output cycle. At the same time, at the end of the consumable output cycle T, the bubbles are just completely discharged from the consumable output end of the smart terminal. At this time, the time length from the fifth moment t5 to the fourth moment t4 is the time length from the fifth moment t5 to the sixth moment t6, which is equal to the time length from the first moment t1 to the second moment t2.

[0128] The consumables output control method of the disclosed embodiment can determine whether the bubbles existing in the consumables output cycle reach the consumables output end of the smart terminal before the end of the consumables output cycle according to the chronological relationship between the fifth moment and the fourth moment; and can determine whether the bubbles are completely discharged from the consumables output end of the smart terminal at the end of the consumables output cycle according to the chronological relationship between the sixth moment and the fourth moment, thereby determining the compensation duration of the consumables output cycle. The disclosed solution can calculate the actual transmission time of consumables within the consumables output cycle, thereby determining whether a sufficient amount of consumables is transmitted within the consumables output cycle, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the consumables transmission amount of the smart terminal.

[0129] The determining, according to the first moment, the second moment, the third moment, the fourth moment, the first duration, the fifth moment, and the sixth moment, of the compensation duration for the consumable output cycle includes:

[0130] In the case that the fourth moment is later than the sixth moment, the compensation duration is the duration between the first moment and the second moment.

[0131] It should be noted that if Figure 8 As shown, the fourth moment t4 is later than the sixth moment t6. It can be understood that before the end of the consumable output cycle T, the bubble is completely discharged from the consumable output end of the smart terminal, so the compensation duration is the transmission duration of the entire bubble.

[0132] The consumables output control method of the disclosed embodiment can determine whether the bubbles are completely discharged from the consumables output end of the smart terminal at the end of the consumables output cycle through the sequential relationship between the sixth moment and the fourth moment, thereby determining the compensation duration of the consumables output cycle. The disclosed solution can calculate the actual transmission time of the consumables during the consumables output cycle, thereby determining whether a sufficient amount of consumables has been transmitted during the consumables output cycle, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the consumables transmission amount of the smart terminal.

[0133] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0134] When the running state of the consumable transfer pump is stuck during the consumable output cycle, switching the rotation direction of the consumable transfer pump;

[0135] After controlling the consumable material transfer pump to run in reverse for a preset time, the running direction of the consumable material transfer pump is switched to forward running;

[0136] The consumables output cycle is compensated for the preset time length.

[0137] like Figure 3As shown, when it is determined that the operating state of the consumable transfer pump is stuck, the controller MCU enters the reverse push mode, that is, by controlling the level jump of the pins PUMPA and PUMPB, the levels of the power supply pins P+ and P- of the consumable transfer pump are also reversed, thereby realizing the reverse rotation of the consumable transfer pump, which will cause the impurities that cause the consumable transfer pump to be stuck to be pushed out of the consumable transfer pump, so that the consumable transfer pump returns to normal operation.

[0138] Optionally, the preset duration is shorter than the consumable output cycle.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the controller MCU detects that the current exceeds the third threshold, it starts to record the current time T_on;

[0140] At this time, the MCU will enter the protection reverse push mode, and the PUMPA and PUMPB levels will be reversed. At this time, the P+ and P- levels of the consumable transfer pump power supply pins will also be reversed, and the consumable transfer pump can run in reverse for a period of time (for example, 10S). In this way, the impurities that cause the consumable transfer pump to get stuck can be pushed out of the machine, so that the consumable transfer pump can resume normal operation;

[0141] The MCU will continue to record the current. If the jam state of the consumable transfer pump is released, the current will be reduced to a safe range, and T_on will be reset to zero; but if the pump body is stuck until the jam time exceeds the threshold (jam duration = current time T_now-T_on, if the jam duration > set threshold, it is judged that the jam state cannot be automatically released).

[0142] The consumables output control method of the disclosed embodiment can determine that the consumables transfer pump is in a stuck state by measuring that the current of the consumables transfer pump is greater than the third preset threshold value; by controlling the running direction of the consumables transfer pump, impurities that cause the consumables transfer pump to be stuck can be discharged from the consumables transfer pump, thereby restoring the normal operation of the consumables transfer pump.

[0143] like Fig. 9 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a consumables output control device 900, comprising:

[0144] An acquisition module 901 is used to acquire the current value of the consumable transfer pump at a preset time interval during the consumable output cycle of the consumable transfer pump of the smart terminal;

[0145] A determination module 902 is used to determine the operating state of the consumable transfer pump during the consumable output cycle according to the current value;

[0146] The adjustment module 903 is used to adjust the running time of the consumable output cycle when it is determined that there is a no-load state in the running state.

[0147] The consumable output control device of the disclosed embodiment can determine the operating state of the consumable transfer pump by collecting the current value consumed by the consumable transfer pump, and adjust the operating time of the consumable transfer pump when it is determined that the consumable transfer pump is in an unloaded operating state.
