It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0027] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can also be the internal connection of two components, it can be a wireless connection, or it can be a wired connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0029] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0030] The utility model discloses a driving structure for a transmission shaft of an electric toothbrush. Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes: a detachably connected first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2, the first bracket 1 is rotatably connected to a transmission shaft 3, a driving motor 4 is installed in the second bracket 2, an eccentric wheel 5 is sleeved on the output shaft of the driving motor 4, and a transmission frame 6 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 3. The driving motor 4 is used to drive the eccentric wheel 5 to rotate so that the transmission frame 6 drives the transmission shaft 3 to perform reciprocating oscillating motion. In this embodiment, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are fastened and connected by screws.
[0031] It should be noted that the eccentric wheel 5 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 4, so that the transmission frame 6 drives the transmission shaft 3 to perform reciprocating oscillating motion, thereby providing a driving structure for the electric toothbrush transmission shaft, providing driving power to the toothbrush head, realizing gearless transmission, and reducing its noise.
[0032] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the eccentric wheel 5 is provided with an eccentric rod 51, the transmission frame 6 is provided with a swing groove 61 adapted to the eccentric rod 51, and the eccentric rod 51 abuts against the inner wall of the swing groove 61. In the specific implementation process, the swing angle of the transmission frame 6 is + / -21 degrees.
[0033] It should be noted that the driving action of the driving motor 4 drives the eccentric wheel 5 to rotate. Since the eccentric rod 51 abuts against the inner wall of the swing groove 61, the eccentric wheel 5 drives the transmission frame 6 to perform reciprocating and oscillating motion, thereby driving the transmission shaft 3 to perform reciprocating and oscillating motion, providing driving power for the rotating brush disc of the toothbrush head, realizing gearless transmission, and reducing noise.
[0034] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the swing groove 61 is arranged in a U-shape. In the specific implementation process, a notch 63 is provided on the transmission frame 6 and is arranged adjacent to the swing groove 61. The notch 63 is arranged to facilitate the assembly of the eccentric wheel 5 and the transmission shaft 3.
[0035] It should be noted that, since the swing groove 61 is arranged in a U-shape, the eccentric rod 51 can better drive the transmission frame 6 to perform reciprocating swinging motion.
[0036] like Figure 5-7As shown, first planes 31 are provided on opposite sides of the transmission shaft 3, and a second plane 62 corresponding to the first plane 31 is provided in the transmission frame 6. It should be noted that the arrangement of the first plane 31 and the second plane 62 facilitates the transmission frame 6 to drive the transmission shaft 3 to move and prevents slippage.
[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the eccentric wheel 5 and the eccentric rod 51 are an integrally formed structure.
[0038] like Figure 1-3 As shown, one end of the driving motor 4 is sleeved with a shock-absorbing sleeve 7. It should be noted that the shock-absorbing sleeve 7 is made of silicone or EVA material; the setting of the shock-absorbing sleeve 7 facilitates the noise reduction of the driving motor 4.
[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a detachably connected third bracket 8 is provided on the second bracket 2, and the third bracket 8 is used to limit the drive motor 4 and install it in the second bracket 2. In the specific implementation process, the second bracket 2 and the third bracket 8 are fastened and connected by screws.
[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a shock-absorbing pad 9 is arranged between the driving motor 4 and the third bracket 8. It should be noted that the shock-absorbing pad 9 is made of silica gel or EVA material; by setting the shock-absorbing pad 9, the operation of the driving motor 4 can be reduced in noise.
[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, a slot 32 for engaging with an external toothbrush head is provided on one side of the transmission shaft 3, and the slot 32 is arranged in a V shape. It should be noted that the arrangement of the slot 32 facilitates the external toothbrush head to be mounted on the transmission shaft 3 by being engaged with the external toothbrush head.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a waterproof ring 10 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 3 and is tightly against the inner wall of the first bracket 1. It should be noted that the waterproof ring 10 is made of silicone material, and the transmission shaft 3 and the first bracket 1 are waterproofly sealed by the waterproof ring 10 to prevent water from entering the interior of the electric toothbrush, thereby ensuring the safe use of the electric toothbrush.
[0043] Working principle: The eccentric wheel 5 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 4, so that the transmission frame 6 drives the transmission shaft 3 to perform reciprocating oscillating motion, thereby providing a driving structure for the electric toothbrush transmission shaft, providing driving power to the toothbrush head, realizing gearless transmission, and reducing its noise.
[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
