[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a control method for a fill light of a cleaning device, which is used in the cleaning device described in any embodiment of the present invention. The control method for the fill light of the cleaning device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software, and the control method for the fill light of the cleaning device can be configured in the cleaning part. In this embodiment, the cleaning device is an electric toothbrush. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the fill light of the cleaning device includes:

[0040] S110, obtaining a power supply signal output by the gripping part.

[0041] The power supply signal refers to a signal for supplying power to the cleaning unit, and can supply power to the fill light and camera on the cleaning unit.

[0042] S120: Control the working state of the fill light based on the power supply signal.

[0043] Among them, different power supply signals can be firstly defined by protocol so that they correspond to different working states of the fill light. The cleaning unit can supply power to the fill light through the power supply signal by acquiring the power supply signal, and can also adjust the working state of the fill light by analyzing the power supply signal.

[0044] The above scheme obtains the power supply signal output by the gripping part, and then controls the working state of the fill light based on the power supply signal, so that the fill light and other components on the cleaning part can be powered by the power supply signal, and the working state of the fill light can be adjusted by analyzing the power supply signal. Therefore, there is no need to set up a separate signal connection line to control the working state of the fill light, so the number of signal connections between the cleaning part and the gripping part is reduced, which improves the efficiency of product design and production. It solves the problem that the fill light requires an additional signal connection line, which is difficult to meet the small size requirements of the cleaning device.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for controlling a fill light of a cleaning device provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. The relationship between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the second embodiment is improved. Optionally, the method of controlling the working state of the fill light based on the power supply signal includes: determining a control instruction based on the power supply signal; and controlling the working state of the fill light based on the control instruction. Optionally, the power supply signal includes a power supply voltage; and the method of determining the control instruction based on the power supply signal includes: determining a voltage parameter of the power supply voltage; and determining the control instruction based on the voltage parameter. Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the fill light of the cleaning device includes:

[0047] S210: Acquire a power supply signal output by the gripping portion, wherein the power supply signal includes a power supply voltage.

[0048] The power supply voltage is the voltage provided by the holding part to the cleaning part for power supply.

[0049] S220: Determine voltage parameters of the supply voltage.

[0050] Among them, the voltage parameter refers to a parameter related to the supply voltage. Preferably, the voltage parameter includes the magnitude of the voltage and / or the duration of the voltage. The magnitude of the voltage refers to the magnitude of the voltage value of the supply voltage, and the duration of the voltage refers to the duration of the supply voltage. In this embodiment, the voltage parameter includes the magnitude of the voltage and the duration of the voltage. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the voltage parameter may also include other parameters or only include the magnitude of the voltage or the duration of the voltage, which is not specifically limited here, but is only illustrated by way of example.

[0051] S230. Determine the control instruction based on the voltage parameter.

[0052] Among them, by analyzing the power supply voltage, the voltage parameters can be obtained, and then the corresponding control instructions can be output according to the analyzed voltage parameters to control the fill light to adjust to the corresponding working state.

[0053] S240: Control the working state of the fill light based on the control instruction.

[0054] The above scheme can adjust the working state of the fill light by simply outputting different power supply voltages, thereby controlling the power supply voltage output to the cleaning part, and while being able to supply power to the cleaning part, the cleaning part can adjust the working state of the fill light to a corresponding working state according to the voltage parameters of the power supply voltage. Therefore, the number of signal connections between the cleaning part and the gripping part is reduced, improving the efficiency of product design and production.

[0055] In some embodiments, the working state of the fill light includes at least two of on, off, brightness increase and brightness decrease. On means turning on the fill light to make it emit light, off means turning off the fill light to make it extinguish, brightness increase means increasing the brightness of the light emitted by the fill light, and brightness decrease means decreasing the brightness of the light emitted by the fill light.

[0056] Embodiment 3

[0057] Embodiment 3 of the present invention provides a cleaning device, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning device includes a cleaning portion 1 and a holding portion 2. The cleaning portion 1 of the cleaning device is a portion used for cleaning. The holding portion 2 is a portion for the user to hold, and is used to provide power and control the working state of the cleaning device. The cleaning portion 1 and the holding portion 2 are detachably connected, and can be replaced with a new cleaning portion 1 after the life of the cleaning portion 1 expires. In this embodiment, the cleaning device takes an electric toothbrush as an example, in which case the cleaning portion 1 is a brush head, and the holding portion 2 is a brush handle. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the cleaning device may also be other devices, which is not specifically limited here, but is just an example.

[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning part 1 is provided with a camera 11, a fill light 12 and a cleaning part control module 13, and the fill light 12 and the cleaning part control module 13 are electrically connected. The fill light 12 is used to fill light for the camera 11 to take photos. The cleaning part control module 13 refers to a module that can control the working state of the fill light 12. In some embodiments, the working state of the fill light 12 includes at least two of opening, closing, brightness increase and brightness reduction. Opening means turning on the fill light 12 to make it emit light, closing means turning off the fill light 12 to make it extinguish, brightness increase means increasing the brightness of the light emitted by the fill light 12, and brightness reduction means reducing the brightness of the light emitted by the fill light 12. Therefore, the cleaning part control module 13 can control the on or off of the fill light 12 and the brightness of the fill light 12. In some embodiments, the cleaning part control module 13 includes a first chip 131, and the first chip 131 includes a control chip. Preferably, the control chip includes one of a microprocessor, a microcontroller and an LED driver chip.

[0059] The holding part 2 is used to output a power supply signal to power the cleaning part control module 13 and the fill light 12 when connected to the cleaning part 1; the cleaning part control module 13 is used to execute the control method of the fill light of the cleaning device described in any embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] In the above scheme, by arranging the camera 11, the fill light 12 and the cleaning part control module 13 on the cleaning part 1, the holding part 2 is used to output a power supply signal to power the cleaning part control module 13 and the fill light 12 when connected to the cleaning part 1; the cleaning part control module 13 is used to execute the control method of the fill light of the cleaning device described in any embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the holding part control module 21 can power the fill light 12 through the power supply signal, and the cleaning part control module 13 can also adjust the working state of the fill light 12 by analyzing the power supply signal. Therefore, there is no need to set up a signal connection line separately to enable the holding part control module 21 to control the working state of the fill light 12.

[0061] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a first signal connection point 14 is provided on the cleaning unit 1, and the fill light 12, the cleaning unit control module 13 and the first signal connection point 14 are electrically connected in sequence. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the gripping part 2 is provided with a gripping part control module 21, a cleaning part power supply module 22 and a second signal connection point 23, and the gripping part control module 21, the cleaning part power supply module 22 and the second signal connection point 23 are electrically connected in sequence. The gripping part control module 21 is used to control the output and shutdown of the power supply signal of the cleaning part power supply module 22. In some embodiments, the gripping part control module 21 includes a second chip 211, and the second chip 211 includes one of a management chip and a control chip. Preferably, the management chip includes a power management chip. Preferably, the control chip includes one of a microprocessor, a microcontroller and an LED driver chip. The cleaning part power supply module 22 refers to a module that can provide electrical energy to the cleaning part control module 13. In some embodiments, the cleaning part power supply module 22 includes one of a power module and a power management module. In some embodiments, the cleaning part power supply module 22 includes a third chip 221, and the third chip 221 includes one of a power management chip and a power conversion chip.

[0062] The first signal connection point 14 and the second signal connection point 23 are both made of conductive materials, and the first signal connection point 14 and the second signal connection point 23 are used to be electrically connected when the cleaning part 1 and the holding part 2 are connected. Specifically, the first signal connection point 14 and the second signal connection point 23 can be in contact when the cleaning part 1 and the holding part 2 are connected to achieve electrical conduction.

[0063] Since the cleaning unit control module 13 is electrically connected to the first signal connection point 14, the cleaning unit power supply module 22 is electrically connected to the second signal connection point 23, and the first signal connection point 14 and the second signal connection point 23 are electrically connected when the cleaning unit 1 and the holding unit 2 are connected, the cleaning unit power supply module 22 and the cleaning unit control module 13 are electrically connected through the first signal connection point 14 and the second signal connection point 23, so the cleaning unit power supply module 22 can supply power to the cleaning unit control module 13 and the fill light 12 when the cleaning unit 1 and the holding unit 2 are connected. In some embodiments, the holding unit control module 21 is used to communicate with the cleaning unit control module 13 through the cleaning unit power supply module 22 when the cleaning unit 1 and the holding unit 2 are connected. Since the holding unit control module 21 is electrically connected to the cleaning unit power supply module 22, the holding unit control module 21 can supply power to the cleaning unit control module 13 and the fill light 12 through the power supply of the cleaning unit power supply module 22, and can also transmit specific signals with the cleaning unit control module 13.

[0064] The holding part control module 21 is used to control the cleaning part power supply module 22 to output a power supply signal, and the cleaning part control module 13 is used to control the working state of the fill light 12 based on the power supply signal. Among them, the power supply signal output by the cleaning part power supply module 22 is adjustable, so different power supply signals can be firstly defined by protocol so that they correspond to different working states of the fill light 12. The holding part control module 21 controls the cleaning part power supply module 22 to output a power supply signal, and can supply power to the cleaning part power supply module 22 and the fill light 12 through the power supply signal, and the cleaning part control module 13 can also adjust the working state of the fill light 12 by analyzing the power supply signal.

[0065] The above scheme arranges a camera 11, a fill light 12, a cleaning part control module 13 and a first signal connection point 14 on the cleaning part 1, and arranges a holding part control module 21, a cleaning part power supply module 22 and a second signal connection point 23 on the holding part 2, and the holding part control module 21, the cleaning part power supply module 22 and the second signal connection point 23 are electrically connected in sequence; the holding part control module 21 controls the cleaning part power supply module 22 to output a power supply signal, and then the cleaning part control module 13 is used to control the working state of the fill light 12 based on the power supply signal, so that the holding part control module 21 controls the cleaning part power supply module 22 to output a power supply signal, and can power the cleaning part power supply module 22 and the fill light 12 through the power supply signal, and the cleaning part control module 13 can also adjust the working state of the fill light 12 by analyzing the power supply signal. Therefore, there is no need to set up a separate signal connection line to enable the grip control module 21 to control the working state of the fill light 12. Only one first signal connection point 14 and one second signal connection point 23 need to be electrically connected to realize the power supply of the cleaning part 1 by the grip 2 and the control of the working state of the fill light 12. Therefore, the number of signal connections between the cleaning part 1 and the grip 2 is reduced, which improves the efficiency of product design and production. The problem that the fill light 12 needs an additional signal connection line and it is difficult to meet the small size requirement of the cleaning device is solved.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning unit control module 13 is used to determine the control instruction based on the power supply signal, and control the working state of the fill light 12 based on the control instruction. The control instruction refers to the instruction for instructing the cleaning unit control module 13 to adjust the working state of the fill light 12. The holding unit control module 21 controls the cleaning unit power supply module 22 to output a specific power supply signal, and then the cleaning unit control module 13 analyzes the power supply signal to obtain the control instruction, and then controls the working state of the fill light 12 according to the control instruction.

[0067] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the power supply signal includes a power supply voltage; the cleaning unit control module 13 is used to obtain the power supply voltage, determine the voltage parameters of the power supply voltage, and determine the control instructions based on the voltage parameters. Among them, the voltage parameter refers to a parameter related to the power supply voltage. Preferably, the voltage parameter includes the magnitude of the voltage and / or the duration of the voltage. The magnitude of the voltage refers to the magnitude of the voltage value of the power supply voltage, and the duration of the voltage refers to the duration of the power supply voltage. In the present embodiment, the voltage parameters include the magnitude of the voltage and the duration of the voltage. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the voltage parameters may also include other parameters or only include the magnitude of the voltage or the duration of the voltage, which is not specifically limited here, but is just an example.

[0068] By analyzing the supply voltage, the voltage parameters can be obtained, and then the corresponding control instructions can be output according to the analyzed voltage parameters to control the fill light 12 to adjust to the corresponding working state.

[0069] Through the above scheme, the working state of the fill light 12 can be adjusted by simply outputting different power supply voltages, so that the gripping part control module 21 controls the cleaning part power supply module 22 to output the power supply voltage to the cleaning part control module 13, and can realize communication with the cleaning part control module 13 while being able to supply power to the cleaning part control module 13 and the fill light 12, so that the cleaning part control module 13 can adjust the working state of the fill light 12 to a corresponding working state according to the voltage parameters of the power supply voltage. Therefore, the number of signal connections between the cleaning part 1 and the gripping part 2 is reduced, and the efficiency of product design and production is improved.

[0070] The following is a specific example to illustrate the specific implementation of this solution. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, first, we can define different control instructions corresponding to supply voltages with different voltage parameters. Figure 5 The voltage is V, the duration of the voltage is t, when the voltage is 3V and the duration of the voltage is 100ms, it is defined as signal 0, and when the voltage is 3.5V and the duration of the voltage is 100ms, it is defined as signal 1. Different combinations of signal 0 and signal 1 can define different control instructions, such as 0001 is defined as the first instruction, the first instruction corresponds to turning on the fill light 12, that is, the working state of the fill light 12 is turned on; 1001 is defined as the second instruction, the second instruction corresponds to turning off the fill light 12, that is, the working state of the fill light 12 is turned off.

[0071] When it is necessary to control the fill light 12 of the cleaning section 1, the holding section control module 21 controls the cleaning section power supply module 22 to output the corresponding power supply voltage according to the command according to the pre-set communication command protocol. After receiving the power supply voltage, the cleaning section control module 13 parses the voltage size and the voltage duration to obtain the corresponding control instructions, and controls the operation of the fill light 12 of the cleaning section 1 according to the corresponding control instructions. For example, when the parsed control instruction is the first instruction, the fill light 12 is controlled to be turned on; when the parsed control instruction is the second instruction, the fill light 12 is controlled to be turned off.

[0072] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to reorder, add or delete steps. For example, the steps described in the present invention can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in different orders, as long as the desired results of the technical solution of the present invention can be achieved, and this document does not limit this.

[0073] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
