TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a shaver, in particular to a vibrating manual shaver, a system and a method of use. BACKGROUND
[0002] Electric shavers (dry shavers) generally use a rotating head, although it can reduce the degree of force control, but there is a phenomenon of incomplete shaving.
[0003] When the head of the traditional wet shaver removes the beard along the surface of the skin, the movement of the head will pull the beard when the head has not completely cut off the beard, and the beard can only return to its original position after the beard is completely cut off. Therefore, the process of removing the beard by the head will cause the user to feel the pain of pulling the beard. In order to solve this problem, a vibrating manual shaver has been developed.
[0004] The vibrating manual shaver generates a vibration force to the head, so that the head can quickly move back and forth on the skin at a small distance, so as to quickly and gradually cut off the beard, and the force of pulling the beard is small, so that the user can obtain a more comfortable shaving feeling, that is, the vibrating manual shaver is less likely to cause the user to have the stinging pain of pulling the skin of the traditional wet shaver. Moreover, the vibrating manual shaver can reduce the friction coefficient between the head and the skin of the user's face, while having the effect of massaging the skin. Thus, the comfort of the shaving process is further improved.
[0005] The field of manual shavers has been monopolized by foreign products, and there are few original domestic products. The traditional vibrating manual shaver has the following defects: 1. The traditional key switch needs to be manually controlled by the user, which increases the structure of the product and the difficulty of waterproofing the product, thereby increasing the cost of the product.
[0006] 2. The gear adjustment usually needs to be manually operated, and for the case of needing to adjust the gear several times, there may be misoperation, which affects the user experience.
[0007] The inventor has made a series of vibrating manual shaver products through years of painstaking research and development to overcome the above-mentioned defects. The inventor's first generation product, see Chinese invention patent CN110480691B, discloses a vibrating shaver, which triggers a capacitive sensing switch to turn on the vibration mechanism by washing the head of the shaver with water before use, and triggers the capacitive sensing switch again to turn off the vibration mechanism by washing the head of the shaver with water after use, realizing automatic control of the opening and closing of the shaver, without the need for manual key, simple and convenient.
[0008] However, according to user feedback, the product still has the following defects: due to the different characteristics of chin beard and facial beard, the same vibration level cannot be used to remove chin beard and facial beard at the same time, and the stubble left in the head after shaving with a traditional manual razor is difficult to clean. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vibrating manual razor, system, and method of use to solve one or more of the problems of the prior art mentioned above.
[0010] On one hand, the present invention provides a vibrating manual shaver system, including a signal acquisition module, a control module, a vibration module, and a power supply module.

The signal acquisition module is used to acquire handle angle values and linear acceleration values and transmit them to the control module. The control module processes the input values and drives the vibration module. The control module controls the opening and closing of the vibration module and the switching of the speed settings. The vibration module can impart vibration to the shaver head.
[0011] In some embodiments, the signal acquisition module is a gyroscope or an accelerometer, or a gyroscope with an integrated accelerometer; the control module is a microcontroller; the vibration module is a vibration motor; and the power supply module is a lithium battery.

[0014] In some embodiments, a signal output module is also included. The control module transmits the processed signal to the signal output module. The signal output module includes an LED indicator and a speaker. The LED indicator is used to display the power level of the power module and the vibration mode information of the vibration module. The speaker is used to announce the power level of the power module and the vibration mode information of the vibration module.
[0015] In some embodiments, a wireless charging module is also included, which includes a wireless charging receiver configured on the handle and a wireless charging transmitter configured on the base, wherein the wireless charging transmitter cooperates with the wired charging receiver to charge the power module.
[0016] On the other hand, according to the present invention, a method of using a vibrating manual razor system is provided, comprising the following steps: The handle angle and linear acceleration values are collected and transmitted to the control module for processing. The control module processes the angle and linear acceleration values, outputs control signals to drive the vibration module, controls the opening and closing of the vibration module and the gear switching, and the vibration module can impart vibration to the cutter head.
[0017] In some implementations, the following steps are also included: Level 1 Start-up: The control module calculates the collected handle angle and linear acceleration values in real time. When the control module detects that the handle is swung for the first time, it controls the vibration module to start and run at the first gear. Secondary switching: The control module calculates the collected handle angle and linear acceleration values in real time. When the control module detects that the handle is swung for the second time, it controls the vibration module to switch to a higher second gear. Shutdown and Cycling: The control module calculates the collected handle angle and linear acceleration values in real time. When the control module detects that the handle is swung for the third time, it controls the vibration module to shut down, the system returns to the initial ready state, and the above steps are repeated.
[0018] In some implementations, the following steps are also included: the control module calculates the collected handle angle value and linear acceleration value in real time; when the control module detects that the handle is at 180°±30° with the horizontal direction and is in motion, it controls the vibration module to operate at the first gear; when the control module detects that the handle is at 0°±30° with the horizontal direction and is in motion, it controls the vibration module to operate at the second gear, wherein the vibration intensity of the second gear is higher than that of the first gear.
[0019] In some implementations, the following steps are also included: the control module calculates the collected handle angle value and linear acceleration value in real time; when the control module detects that the handle is at an angle of 0°±10° with the horizontal direction and the cutter head is forward, it controls the vibration module to run at the highest setting.
[0020] In some implementations, the following steps are also included: collecting ambient light illuminance and transmitting it to the control module; when the collected ambient light illuminance value is lower than the effective value, the control module turns off the collection of handle angle value and linear acceleration value, and sets the shaver to a locked state; when the collected ambient light illuminance value is higher than the effective value, the control module automatically turns on the collection of handle angle value and linear acceleration value, and releases the shaver from the locked state.
[0021] In some implementations, the method further includes the following steps: acquiring a capacitance change signal and transmitting it to a control module; the control module outputs a control signal to the vibration module based on the capacitance change signal. When the control module detects a long press of the touch button, it disables the acquisition of handle angle and linear acceleration values and locks the shaver. When the control module detects another touch of the button, it restarts the acquisition of handle angle and linear acceleration values and unlocks the shaver.
[0022] In another aspect, the present invention provides a vibrating manual shaver, including a handle assembly. The handle assembly includes a hollow handle, a shaver head disposed at one end of the handle, and a tail cap disposed at the other end of the handle. The handle includes a hollow housing, a main mounting bracket disposed within the housing, and a shaver head mounting bracket disposed at the end of the housing. The shaver head mounting bracket is snapped into one end of the main mounting bracket and a first sealing ring is provided between it and the inner wall of the housing. The shaver head mounting bracket has a shaver head mounting groove. The shaver head includes a shaver head body and a shaver head bracket, and the shaver head bracket is mounted in the shaver head mounting groove. The tail cap is snapped into the other end of the main mounting bracket within the housing. The tail cap has a sealing ring mounting groove and a second sealing ring disposed in the sealing ring mounting groove. The main mounting bracket within the housing is equipped with an electrically connected battery, a first PCB circuit board, a speaker, and a vibration motor. The first PCB circuit board integrates a first microcontroller, an ambient light sensor, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and an LED indicator.
[0023] In some embodiments, the end of the handle is an annular shell made of transparent material, and an LED indicator and an ambient light sensor are embedded in the annular shell.

[0024] In some embodiments, a touch switch is also included, which includes a touch spring made of conductive material and a touch panel. The touch switch is disposed at the end of the handle away from the blade and is in conductive contact with the touch spring, which is electrically connected to the first microcontroller.

[0025] In some embodiments, a base assembly is also included, the base assembly including a base housing, a second magnet being disposed within the base housing, and a first magnet being disposed within the handle, the first magnet and the second magnet being magnetically connected.
[0026] In some embodiments, the base housing is provided with a mounting bracket for fixing the second magnet, which is positioned below the first magnet and is oriented at an angle to form a magnetic field coupling relationship with the first magnet above it.
[0027] In some embodiments, the base housing has a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, the receiving cavity being used to receive the head and handle of a vibrating manual shaver, the upper half of the base housing being made of a transparent material and the lower half being made of a metal material, and a second PCB circuit board being disposed on the bottom wall of the upper half of the base housing.
[0028] In some embodiments, the base assembly further includes: A sensing component is disposed within the base housing. The sensing component is used to detect whether the shaver is placed on the base. The sensing component is one of a Hall sensor, an infrared sensor, a light sensor, a current sensing circuit, or a microcontroller communication module. A sterilization component, comprising a mounting slot and an ultraviolet lamp bead disposed in the mounting slot, the mounting slot being provided with a third sealing ring, the ultraviolet lamp bead being electrically connected to a second PCB circuit board, the sterilization component being used to sterilize the head of a vibrating manual shaver. A drying assembly, comprising a fan and a PTC heating element, wherein the fan is disposed on one side of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity and electrically connected to the second PCB circuit board, and the PTC heating element is disposed on the second PCB circuit board, and the drying assembly is used to dry the head of a vibrating manual shaver. Ambient LED lights are installed on the second PCB circuit board on the bottom wall of the upper half of the base housing; The second microcontroller is a second PCB circuit board disposed on the bottom wall of the upper half of the base housing. The second microcontroller is electrically connected to the sensing component and is used to receive the output signal of the sensing component and control the opening and closing of the sterilization component, the drying component, the ambient LED light and the heating component. An external power supply is provided to power the sensing components, sterilization components, drying components, ambient LED lights, and the second microcontroller.
[0029] In some embodiments, the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp is directed towards the head of the vibrating manual shaver, the air outlet of the fan is directed towards the head of the vibrating manual shaver, and the PTC heating element is directed towards the head of the vibrating manual shaver. When the vibrating manual shaver is placed in the receiving cavity and the handle of the vibrating manual shaver triggers the sensing component, the second microcontroller activates the sterilization component, the fan, the PTC heating element, and the ambient LED light.
[0030] In some embodiments, the base assembly further includes a wireless charging transmitting coil electrically connected to the second PCB circuit board via a flexible circuit board. The handle assembly further includes a wireless charging receiving coil electrically connected to the first PCB circuit board via a flexible circuit board.

[0031] In some embodiments, a charging component connected to the external power source is also included. The charging component includes a charging interface connected to the second PCB circuit board. The charging interface is used to charge the battery of the vibrating manual shaver handle assembly and to power the vibrating manual shaver base assembly.
[0032] Beneficial effects: The handle assembly of this invention integrates multiple sensors. During operation, the system automatically recognizes user movements and product angles, and calculates and automatically controls the shaver for different usage scenarios. Users can control the shaver's vibration module to turn on / off or switch vibration levels with simple hand gestures such as flicking. Simultaneously, the vibration level adaptively adjusts for areas such as the chin and face during shaving. Finally, when the user cleans the shaver head, the system automatically recognizes the cleaning status and switches to self-cleaning mode, outputting maximum vibration force to assist in cleaning the shaver head. This provides users with a convenient and comfortable shaving experience.
[0033] Secondly, the system calculates the ambient light illuminance value collected by the handle assembly. When the ambient light illuminance value is lower than the effective value, it shuts down the acquisition of the gyroscope accelerometer count and locks the shaver to prevent accidental activation during travel. When the collected ambient light illuminance value is higher than the effective value, the control module automatically starts acquiring the handle angle and linear acceleration values and unlocks the shaver. Alternatively, pressing and holding the touch button will shut down the acquisition of the gyroscope accelerometer count signal and lock the shaver; pressing the touch button again will unlock it.
[0034] Furthermore, the transparent ring-shaped shell at the end of the handle and the design of the LED indicator light form a ring-shaped luminous indicator surface, and the design of the ambient light on the base component not only enhances practicality but also highlights the aesthetics of the design.
[0035] Finally, the base assembly of the present invention can realize the automatic sterilization and disinfection of the razor head by ultraviolet light through the sensing component. Ultraviolet light has the advantages of stable wavelength, fast sterilization speed and wide range, which can effectively shorten working time and reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the automatic drying and heating of the razor head can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria, making the placement and use of the razor more hygienic.

[0040] The tail cover 130 is also equipped with a touch switch, which includes a touch spring 181 made of conductive material and a touch panel 182. The touch panel 182 is arranged at the end of the handle 110 away from the blade head 120 and is in conductive contact with the touch spring 181. The touch spring 181 is electrically connected to the first microcontroller 151. The first microcontroller 151 detects the signal change of the touch switch 182 and controls the vibration motor 170 to start and stop and to switch the vibration level.
[0041] An ambient light sensor 152 is used to collect ambient light illuminance values and transmit them to a first microcontroller 151. A gyroscope accelerometer 153 is used to collect handle angle values and linear acceleration values and transmit them to a first microcontroller 151. The first microcontroller 151 processes the input values and drives the vibration motor 170. The first microcontroller 151 is used to control the start and stop of the vibration motor 170 and the vibration level switching. The vibration motor 170 can impart vibration to the cutter head 120.

[0042] The base assembly 200 includes: The base housing 210 has a receiving cavity 220 and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity 220. The receiving cavity 220 is used to receive the blade head 120 and handle 110 of the vibrating manual shaver. The upper half of the base housing 210 is made of transparent material and the lower half is made of metal material. A second PCB circuit board 240 is arranged on the bottom wall of the upper half of the base housing 210. A sensing component 250 is disposed inside the base housing 210. The sensing component 250 is used to detect whether the shaver is placed on the base. The sensing component 250 is one of a Hall sensor, an infrared sensor, a light sensor, a current sensing circuit, or a microcontroller communication module. The sterilization component includes a mounting slot and an ultraviolet lamp 241 disposed in the mounting slot. The mounting slot is provided with a third sealing ring 247. The ultraviolet lamp is electrically connected to a second PCB circuit board 240. The sterilization component is used to sterilize the head 120 of a vibrating manual shaver. A drying assembly, comprising a fan 242 and a PTC heating element 243, wherein the fan 242 is disposed on one side of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 220 and electrically connected to the second PCB circuit board 240, and the PTC heating element 243 is disposed on the second PCB circuit board 240, and the drying assembly is used to dry the head 120 of the vibrating manual shaver. Ambient LED light 245, and a second PCB circuit board 240 disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 220; The second microcontroller 244 is disposed on the second PCB circuit board 240 on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 220. The second microcontroller 244 is electrically connected to the sensing component 250 and is used to receive the output signal of the sensing component 250 and control the opening and closing of the sterilization component, the drying component, the ambient LED light 245 and the heating component.

When the vibrating manual shaver is placed in the receiving cavity 220 and the handle of the vibrating manual shaver triggers the sensing component 250, the second microcontroller 244 activates the sterilization component, the fan, the PTC heating element, and the ambient LED light.
[0044] To achieve wireless charging, the base assembly also includes a wireless charging transmitting coil 260, which is electrically connected to the second PCB circuit board 240 via a flexible circuit board.

[0045] To enable the external power charging function, a charging component connected to the external power source is also included. The charging component includes a charging interface 246, which is connected to the second PCB circuit board 240. The charging interface 246 is used to charge the battery of the vibrating manual shaver handle assembly and to supply power to the vibrating manual shaver base assembly.
[0046] A method of using a vibrating manual razor system includes: The ambient light sensor collects ambient light information and transmits it to the control module for processing. The gyroscope accelerometer collects the handle angle and linear acceleration values and transmits them to the control module for processing. The touch switch collects capacitance change signals and transmits them to the control module for processing. The control module outputs a control signal to the vibration module based on the ambient light information, shaver angle, acceleration, and capacitance changes.
[0047] The working mode of the vibrating manual razor in this application is as follows: 1. Locked Mode: (1) Automatic Locking Mode: The ambient light sensor 152 detects the ambient light illuminance value in real time and transmits it to the first microcontroller 151. During transportation or business trips, when the shaver is in packaging or luggage and the ambient light illuminance is <100Lux, the first microcontroller 151 automatically shuts down the detection of the gyroscope accelerometer 153 based on the illuminance value, keeping the gyroscope accelerometer 153 in a program-off state and not detecting any action, thus locking the shaver. When the shaver is taken out of the packaging or luggage and the ambient light illuminance returns to normal >100Lux, the first microcontroller 151 automatically starts detecting the gyroscope accelerometer 153 based on the illuminance value and unlocks the shaver. This mode can effectively prevent accidental button activation caused by the user forgetting to manually lock the shaver during business trips.
[0048] (2) Manual Redundancy Locking Mode: When users need to take the product out, they can also press and hold the touch button 182 to put the product into the locking mode. Before use, touch the button again to exit the locking mode.
[0049] 2. Usage Mode: (1) Touch mode: The touch switch transmits the change in capacitance signal to the first microcontroller 151. The first microcontroller 151 controls the opening and closing of the vibration motor 170 or the gear switching according to the change in capacitance signal. At the same time, it drives the LED indicator 154 to display and broadcasts through the speaker 160. Specifically, when the user touches the touch switch once to turn on the motor, the motor rotates and imparts vibration to the cutter head. Touching the switch a second time switches to the high-speed mode, and touching the switch again turns off the motor. This cycle consists of three times. At the same time, the first microcontroller 151 drives the LED indicator 154 to display the gear status and broadcasts the information through the speaker 160.
[0050] (2) Swinging mode: Level 1 Start-up: The first microcontroller 151 calculates the values collected by the gyroscope accelerometer 153 in real time. When it detects that the user swings the handle for the first time, it controls the vibration motor 170 to start and run in the first gear. Secondary switching: The first microcontroller 151 calculates the values collected by the gyroscope accelerometer 153 in real time. When it detects that the user shakes the handle a second time, it controls the vibration motor 170 to switch to the higher second gear. Shutdown and Loop: The first microcontroller 151 calculates the values collected by the gyroscope accelerometer 153 in real time. When it detects that the user has shaken the handle for the third time, it controls the vibration motor 170 to shut down, the system returns to the initial ready state, and the above steps are repeated.
[0051] Specifically, when the user swings the handle for the first time, the first microcontroller 151 detects that the swinging motion and angle of the shaver match its internal program, thus determining it as a valid action, activating the motor, and then transmitting vibrations to the shaver head. Swinging the handle again switches to the second gear, and the third swing shuts off the motor; three swings constitute one cycle. At the same time, the first microcontroller 151 drives the LED indicator 154 to display the gear status and broadcasts the information through the speaker 160.
[0052] Automatic gear shift mode: When the shaver is operating in the aforementioned touch mode or swivel mode, the gyroscope accelerometer 153 is used to collect angle values and acceleration values and transmit them to the first microcontroller 151. The first microcontroller 151 is used to control the vibration motor 170 to switch vibration levels. The vibration motor 170 can impart vibration to the shaver head 120. The LED indicator 154 is used to display the battery level of the battery 140 and the vibration motor 170's level information. The speaker 160 is used to announce the battery level of the battery 140 and the vibration motor 170's level information.
[0053] Specifically, when a user is shaving in touch mode or swishing mode, the first microcontroller 151 detects the values of the gyroscope accelerometer 153 in real time to determine the shaving area and automatically adjusts the vibration intensity. For example, when shaving around the lips, the shaver handle is in a roughly vertical position. This area has abundant capillaries and softer beard hairs. The first microcontroller 151 controls the vibration motor 170 to reduce its speed based on the values of the gyroscope accelerometer 153, protecting the skin around the lips while providing comfortable auxiliary cutting force. When shaving the chin, the handle is in a roughly horizontal position. This area has harder beard hairs. The first microcontroller 151 controls the vibration motor 170 to increase its speed based on the values of the gyroscope accelerometer 153, increasing the auxiliary cutting force for an efficient and comfortable shave.
[0054] 3. Automatic cleaning mode: After shaving, stubble residue inside the razor head is difficult to clean. When the user rinses the razor head under running water, the first microcontroller 151 automatically detects the values of the gyroscope accelerometer 153. When it detects that the handle is approximately horizontal and the razor head is at a forward angle, the first microcontroller 151 controls the vibration motor 170 to operate at the highest setting, using maximum vibration to assist the user in efficiently cleaning the razor head. Simultaneously, the first microcontroller 151 drives the LED indicator 154 to display the setting and announces it through the speaker 160.
[0055] 4. Automatic sleep mode: When the controller is stationary, the first microcontroller detects that the value of the gyroscope accelerometer 153 has not changed within 15 seconds, and then puts the controller into sleep mode. This reduces power consumption, saves energy, and extends standby time.
[0056] 5. Automatic wake-up mode: When the user picks up the controller, the gyroscope accelerometer 153 outputs the controller's motion or angle value to the microcontroller. Upon detecting the numerical signal, the microcontroller interrupts its sleep mode, putting the controller into wake-up mode. Simultaneously, the standby mode indicator light illuminates, awaiting the next operation. This design automatically exits sleep mode based on the user's movement as they pick up the controller from the base, eliminating the need for manual operation.
[0057] Wireless charging and blade sterilization / drying modes: When the handle is placed in the base, the first magnet 121 of the razor head bracket and the second magnet 230 of the base assembly 200 are magnetically connected, allowing the handle to be stably placed inside the base. Simultaneously, when the handle of the vibrating manual razor triggers the sensing component 250, an external power source wirelessly charges the razor via the wireless charging transmitter coil 260 and the wireless charging receiver coil 180. At the same time, the second microcontroller 244 activates the ultraviolet lamp 241, the fan 242, the PTC heating element 243, and the ambient LED light 245 of the sterilization component. The ultraviolet lamp 241 is activated to sterilize the razor head 120 of the vibrating manual razor; the fan 242 and the PTC heating element 243 are activated to dry the razor head 120; and the ambient LED light 245 displays the current operating status and illuminates the surrounding environment. When the handle is removed or a certain time has elapsed, the second microcontroller 244 shuts down the ultraviolet lamp 241, the fan 242, the PTC heating element 243, and the ambient LED light 245 of the sterilization component.
[0058] The handle assembly in this embodiment integrates multiple sensors. During operation, the system automatically recognizes user movements and product angles, and calculates and automatically controls the shaver for different usage scenarios. Users can control the shaver's vibration module to turn on / off or switch vibration levels with simple hand gestures such as flicking. Simultaneously, the vibration level adaptively adjusts for areas such as the chin and face during shaving. Finally, when the user cleans the shaver head, the system automatically recognizes the cleaning status and switches to self-cleaning mode, outputting maximum vibration force to assist in cleaning the shaver head. This provides users with a convenient and comfortable shaving experience.
[0059] Secondly, the system calculates the ambient light illuminance value collected by the handle assembly. When the ambient light illuminance value is below the valid value, it shuts down the acquisition of gyroscope accelerometer readings and locks the shaver. When the ambient light illuminance value exceeds the valid value, it unlocks the shaver. This prevents accidental activation of the switch while the user is traveling. Alternatively, a long press of the touch button will shut down the acquisition of gyroscope accelerometer readings and lock the shaver; pressing the touch button again will unlock it.
[0060] Furthermore, the transparent ring-shaped shell at the end of the handle and the design of the LED indicator light form a ring-shaped luminous indicator surface, and the design of the ambient light on the base component not only enhances practicality but also highlights the aesthetics of the design.
[0061] Finally, the base assembly of the present invention can realize the automatic sterilization and disinfection of the razor head by ultraviolet light through the sensing component. Ultraviolet light has the advantages of stable wavelength, fast sterilization speed and wide range, which can effectively shorten working time and reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the automatic drying and heating of the razor head can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria, making the placement and use of the razor more hygienic.
[0062] The above is only one embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several similar modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
