[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, different types of electronic products are emerging in the market to meet people's needs in daily work and life. Touch buttons are widely used in electronic products. By acting on a single touch button, the electronic product can be turned on and off, or the electronic product can perform actions to achieve corresponding functions.

[0003] However, when using electronic products in a humid environment, the touch buttons are often triggered by mistake, causing the electronic products to turn on when not in use or shut down when in use, giving customers a bad experience. Therefore, designing a touch structure that can effectively prevent accidental touches has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a touch control structure and device for preventing accidental touches, so as to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the touch button is a capacitive touch button; the detection module includes a capacitive touch chip; the capacitive touch chip is used to scan and obtain the capacitance value of the touch button, and the scanning period of the capacitive touch chip is MS level.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the electric toothbrush includes a body and a brush head connected to each other; a plurality of touch buttons are installed on the surface of the body and arranged side by side along the extension direction of the body; the detection module, control module and execution module are all installed in the body, and the execution module is connected to the brush head for driving the brush head to vibrate.

[0012] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the embodiments of the present disclosure have at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0013] In the touch control structure for preventing accidental touch of the embodiment of the present disclosure, through the corresponding cooperation between the trigger module, the detection module, the control module and the execution module, the corresponding function can be executed according to the operation behavior of the user. When the user triggers at least two touch keys in sequence along the arrangement direction, the detection module transmits the signal of the touch keys being triggered detected and recorded to the control module, and accordingly, the control module transmits the power-on instruction or the power-off instruction to the execution module, and the execution module powers on or off the touch control structure for preventing accidental touch as a whole, thereby realizing the control of the power on or off of the touch control structure for preventing accidental touch.

[0020] Although the present disclosure can be easily embodied in different forms of embodiments, only some of the specific embodiments are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail in this specification. It should be understood that this description should be regarded as an exemplary description of the principles of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure to that described herein.

[0021] Thus, a feature indicated in this specification will be used to illustrate one of the features of an embodiment of the present disclosure, rather than implying that each embodiment of the present disclosure must have the described feature. In addition, it should be noted that this specification describes many features. Although some features can be combined together to illustrate possible system designs, these features can also be used in other combinations that are not explicitly described. Thus, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0022] In the embodiments shown in the drawings, the indications of directions (such as up, down, left, right, front and back) used to explain the structure and movement of various elements of the present disclosure are not absolute but relative. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, the indications of these directions also change accordingly.

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the touch structure for preventing accidental touch provided by one embodiment of the present disclosure mainly includes a trigger module, a detection module, a control module and an execution module, and the trigger module includes a plurality of touch buttons arranged side by side. The detection module signal is connected to the trigger module for detecting whether the touch button is triggered. The control module signal is connected to the detection module for outputting a task instruction. The execution module signal is connected to the control module for executing a task. Among them, when the detection module detects that at least two of the plurality of touch buttons are triggered sequentially along the arrangement direction, the control module outputs a power-on instruction to the execution module, and the execution module executes the power-on task, or the control module outputs a power-off instruction to the execution module, and the execution module executes the power-off task.

[0024] In the touch control structure for preventing accidental touch of the embodiment of the present disclosure, through the corresponding cooperation between the trigger module, the detection module, the control module and the execution module, the corresponding function can be executed according to the operation behavior of the user. When the user triggers at least two touch keys in sequence along the arrangement direction, the detection module transmits the signal of the touch keys being triggered detected and recorded to the control module, and accordingly, the control module transmits the power-on instruction or the power-off instruction to the execution module, and the execution module powers on or off the touch control structure for preventing accidental touch as a whole, thereby realizing the control of the power on or off of the touch control structure for preventing accidental touch. Since in the accidental touch scene, a single touch key is often triggered briefly, a single touch key is triggered for a long time, or multiple keys are triggered at the same time, the touch control structure for preventing accidental touch of the embodiment of the present disclosure needs to meet the requirements of triggering in sequence along the arrangement direction and triggering at least two touch keys to realize the power on or off function, which can effectively avoid the power on or off caused by accidental touch in a humid environment or other scenes, and avoid the situation of power on in a non-use scene or power off in a use scene, thereby improving the user's use experience.

[0025] It is understandable that the sequential triggering can be performed by sliding a finger or other conductor between different touch buttons for continuous triggering, or can be performed one by one in sequence. At least two of the plurality of touch buttons can be touch buttons with an adjacent relationship, or can be touch buttons without an adjacent relationship. At least two of the plurality can be two of the plurality, can be all of the plurality, or can be any other number between two and all. In this embodiment, at least two of the plurality of touch buttons are sequentially triggered along the arrangement direction such that all of the plurality of touch buttons are continuously triggered by sliding in the arrangement order.

[0026] See also Figure 2 , the arrangement direction includes a first direction and a second direction opposite to each other. It can be understood that Figure 2There are three touch buttons in total, which are the first touch button, the second touch button and the third touch button from top to bottom. The arrangement direction of the three touch buttons can be considered to be arranged in the order of the first touch button, the second touch button and the third touch button from top to bottom, or it can be considered to be arranged in the reverse order of the third touch button, the second touch button and the first touch button from bottom to top. Thus, the arrangement direction of the three touch buttons can be opposite to the first direction and the second direction, specifically: the first direction is from bottom to top, the second direction is from top to bottom, or the first direction is from top to bottom, and the second direction is from bottom to top. In this embodiment, when the power is off, when sliding from bottom to top to continuously trigger the three touch buttons, the touch structure for preventing accidental touch is turned on. In the power-on state, sliding from top to bottom to continuously trigger the three touch buttons can switch the mode or switch the menu of the touch structure for preventing accidental touch, and sliding from bottom to top to continuously trigger the three touch buttons can shut down the touch structure for preventing accidental touch.

[0027] In other embodiments, when at least two of the multiple touch buttons are triggered sequentially along the first direction, the touch structure for preventing accidental touches is turned on, and when at least two of the multiple touch buttons are triggered sequentially along the second direction, the touch structure for preventing accidental touches is turned off. The touch buttons are sequentially triggered along the opposite direction to complete the power-on and power-off operations, thereby distinguishing the power-on and power-off actions.

[0028] In this embodiment, the touch button is a capacitive touch button. The detection module includes a capacitive touch chip. The capacitive touch chip is used to scan and obtain the capacitance value of the touch button, and the scanning cycle of the capacitive touch chip is MS level.

[0029] Touch chips are mainly divided into capacitive touch chips and resistive touch chips. Capacitive touch chips have the characteristics of high precision, fast response speed and low power consumption. Since the human body is conductive, when a finger touches a touch button, the inductive capacitance formed by the human finger and the earth is connected in parallel with the inductive capacitance formed by the touch button and the earth, which will increase the total inductive capacitance value. The capacitive touch chip scans the capacitance value of the touch button to monitor the trigger state of the touch button in real time and output the corresponding signal. The MS-level scanning cycle can quickly and accurately identify the change in capacitance value.

[0030] In this embodiment, the capacitive touch chip is a SC92F8482 chip. The SC92F8482 chip has the functions and performance applicable to the above embodiments of the present disclosure, and has high performance and high reliability. The SC92F8482 chip has a built-in low-power and high-sensitivity touch circuit. When the power-on action is not recognized, the control chip is in a low-power sleep state, thereby saving energy.

[0031] In this embodiment, the control module is an AC6321 chip. The AC6321 chip provides the function of communicating with other modules and has the functional characteristics of low power consumption. When the detection module recognizes the power-on action, the AC6321 chip wakes up to work. When the detection module does not recognize the power-on action state, the AC6321 chip is in a low-power sleep state to avoid unnecessary functional loss. In this embodiment, the SC92F8482 chip is connected to the AC6321 chip.

[0032] In this embodiment, the touch button includes a touch surface and a touch conductor. The touch surface is attached to the outside of the touch conductor. The touch surface is the contact surface when the touch button is triggered. The touch surface is made of non-conductive material. The touch conductor is made of conductive material. When a human body or other object approaches the touch surface, the capacitance value between the touch surface and the touch conductor will change, causing the capacitance distribution on the touch surface to change. Since the touch surface is non-conductive, static electricity will not accumulate when touching the touch surface, protecting the user from static electricity damage. Using a non-conductive touch surface can also reduce the risk of electronic equipment failure, avoid electric shock in humid environments, and improve the safety of the equipment.

[0033] In this embodiment, the material selected for the touch surface is one or more of ABS, PC and POM. The material selected for the touch conductor is one or more of conductive foam, copper and FPC flexible board.

[0034] See also Figure 3 An anti-mis-touch device disclosed in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the anti-mis-touch touch structure of any one of the above embodiments.

[0035] In this embodiment, the device for preventing accidental touch is an electric toothbrush.

[0036] See also Figure 3 The electric toothbrush includes a body 11 and a brush head connected to each other. A plurality of touch buttons 12 are installed on the surface of the body and arranged side by side along the extension direction of the body. The detection module, the control module and the execution module are all installed in the body 11. The execution module is connected to the brush head to drive the brush head to vibrate. The electric toothbrush needs to be placed in a humid environment to work frequently. The conventional button structure turns on or off by long pressing or clicking a single button. When there is residual water on the touch button 12, it is easy to be triggered by mistake, which brings a bad experience. The anti-mistouch touch structure of the first embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the electric toothbrush, which has a good anti-mistouch effect and brings a better experience to the electric toothbrush.

[0037] In this embodiment, there are three touch buttons 12, the end close to the brush head is defined as the upper end, and the end away from the brush head is defined as the lower end. Three touch buttons 12 are arranged side by side from the top. When the electric toothbrush is in the off state, the electric toothbrush is turned on when the three touch buttons 12 are continuously triggered by sliding from bottom to top. When the electric toothbrush is in the on state, the electric toothbrush can be switched to a mode or a menu by sliding from top to bottom to continuously trigger the three touch buttons 12, and the electric toothbrush can be turned off by sliding from bottom to top to continuously trigger the three touch buttons 12.

[0038] Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary, rather than restrictive. Since the present disclosure can be embodied in a variety of forms without departing from the spirit or substance of the disclosure, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, so all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
