[0036] The utility model provides a motor component of an electric toothbrush.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The motor assembly 100 of the electric toothbrush includes a motor body 110 and a circuit board module 130; wherein the motor body 110 includes a stator assembly 111 and a rotor assembly 112, and the rotor assembly 112 includes an output shaft 113 that can rotate around a preset axis relative to the stator assembly 111; the circuit board module 130 includes a flexible circuit board 140 and a hard support plate 150, the hard support plate 150 is fixed relative to the stator assembly 111, the flexible circuit board 140 includes a lateral extension section 141 and a connecting section 142 that are connected to each other, the lateral extension section 141 is fixed to the hard support plate 150, and a sensor 122 for detecting the motion parameters of the rotor assembly 112 is provided on the lateral extension section 141.

[0038] In this embodiment, the structures of the stator assembly 111 and the rotor assembly 112 can refer to existing designs and are not specifically limited here. For example, the stator assembly 111 includes silicon steel sheets and coil windings arranged in a ring shape; the rotor assembly 112 includes a rotor core disposed inside the silicon steel sheets, and the output shaft 113 is disposed in the middle of the rotor core. After the coil winding is energized, a magnetic field is generated with the silicon steel sheets, and the rotor core drives the output shaft 113 to rotate around its axis under the action of the magnetic field. The output shaft 113 is used to connect to the brush head assembly of the electric toothbrush to drive the brush head assembly to rotate.

[0039] There can be many types of sensors 122, for example, they can be position sensors (Hall sensors). The sensor 122 is mounted on a hard support plate 150 and fixed relative to the stator assembly 111. The hard support plate 150 can be connected to the motor housing 114 or to the stator assembly 111. The hard support plate 150 provides support and structural reinforcement for the flexible circuit board 140. The thickness of the hard support plate 150 can be selected and designed according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here. The flexible circuit board 140 is used to power the sensor 122. The lateral extension section 141 of the flexible circuit board 140 extends in the lateral direction. The lateral extension section 141 can be fixedly attached to the board surface of the hard support plate 150 by pressing, welding, etc., and the connecting section 142 is used to be electrically connected to the main control board 300 of the electric toothbrush. The motor assembly 100 is connected to the main control board 300 through the connecting section 142 of the flexible circuit board 140, so that the circuit board can be bent to adapt to the complex spatial layout in the electric toothbrush.

[0040] The motor assembly 100 of the electric toothbrush of the utility model is such that the circuit board module 130 includes a flexible circuit board 140 and a hard support plate 150, and the sensor 122 is installed on the lateral extension section 141 of the flexible circuit board 140 fixed to the hard support plate 150. In this way, the circuit board module 130 is a soft-hard structure. Since the hard support plate 150 has a high structural strength, it can provide better support for the flexible circuit board 140. The flexible circuit board 140 is fixed on the motor body 110 through the hard support plate 150, which can improve the connection stability of the flexible circuit board 140 and prevent the flexible circuit board 140 from causing the sensor 122 thereon to shake, thereby affecting the detection accuracy. At the same time, since the hard support plate 150 has a flat support plane, the lateral extension section 141 of the flexible circuit board 140 is fitted and fixed to the hard support plate 150, which can make the installation of the sensor 122 fixed on the lateral extension section 141 more stable and reliable, and can further ensure the motor detection accuracy. In addition, the circuit board module 130 of the motor assembly 100 is a structure in which a flexible circuit board 140 is attached to a hard support plate 150. Compared with the method of connecting two hard circuit boards through a flexible circuit board 140, it effectively reduces costs while ensuring functionality.

[0041] Further, the motor body 110 also includes a motor housing 114, the stator assembly 111 is fixedly connected to the motor housing 114, and the hard support plate 150 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the motor housing 114. Specifically, the hard support plate 150 and the plate surface of the lateral extension section 141 extend in the lateral direction, and the plate surface is perpendicular to the output shaft 113. The hard support plate 150 can be detachably connected to the motor housing 114 by means of screws 170, clamping, embedding, etc. By making the hard support plate 150 detachably connected to the motor housing 114, it is more convenient to disassemble and assemble the circuit board module 130 and the motor body 110, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the circuit board module 130. The motor housing 114 can specifically include a main housing and an end shell detachably connected to the lower end of the main housing, the stator assembly 111 and the rotor assembly 112 are arranged in the main housing, the lower end of the output shaft 113 can be rotatably mounted on the end shell, and the hard support plate 150 is detachably connected to the end shell.

[0042] In one embodiment, the transverse extension section 141 is attached to the upper surface of the rigid support plate 150 , and the lower surface of the rigid support plate 150 is provided with a plurality of welding points, which penetrate the rigid support plate 150 and contact the flexible circuit board 140 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the lateral extension section 141 can be specifically fixed to the upper plate surface of the rigid support plate 150 by pressing. It can be understood that the rigid support plate 150 is an insulating material used as a rigid support substrate. By setting a plurality of welding points on the rigid support lower plate surface for welding the rigid support plate 150 and the flexible circuit board 140, the plurality of welding points on the lower plate surface of the rigid support plate 150 can be used for welding with the motor wires, that is, transferring the welding points on the flexible circuit board 140 to the rigid support plate 150 can simplify the circuit of the flexible circuit board 140 and improve the reliability of the entire circuit board module 130.

[0044] In one embodiment, if Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a first screw hole 143 is opened on the flexible circuit board 140, and a second screw hole 151 is opened on the hard support plate 150 corresponding to the first screw hole 143. The motor assembly 100 of the electric toothbrush also includes a screw 170, which passes through the first screw hole 143 and the second screw hole 151 and is connected to the motor housing 114.

[0045] In this embodiment, the number of the first screw hole 143 and the second screw hole 151 can be selected and designed according to actual needs. In order to ensure the installation stability of the circuit board module 130, optionally, two first screw holes 143 and second screw holes 151 are provided, and they are symmetrically arranged in the axial direction of the output shaft 113. The screw 170 passes through the screw 170 holes of the flexible circuit board 140 and the hard support plate 150 and is connected to the motor housing 114, which can ensure the connection stability among the flexible circuit board 140, the hard support plate 150 and the motor housing 114.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer again to Figures 2 to 5 The flexible circuit board 140 is provided with a first positioning hole 144 , the hard support plate 150 is provided with a second positioning hole 152 corresponding to the first positioning hole 144 , and the motor housing 114 is provided with a positioning column 115 adapted to be plugged into the first positioning hole 144 and the second positioning hole 152 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the number of the first positioning hole 144 and the second positioning hole 152 can be selected and designed according to actual needs. In order to ensure the installation stability of the circuit board module 130, optionally, two first positioning holes 144 and two second positioning holes 152 are provided, and they are symmetrically arranged in the axial direction of the output shaft 113. Through the cooperation of the positioning column 115 with the positioning holes on the hard support plate 150 and the flexible circuit board 140, the pre-positioning assembly of the circuit board module 130 on the motor housing 114 can be realized, which is more conducive to the accurate assembly of the circuit board module 130 and the motor housing 114.

[0048] In one embodiment, a plurality of hard support plates 150 are provided, and the plurality of hard support plates 150 are stacked in the axial direction of the output shaft 113 , and the transverse extension section 141 is attached to the upper plate surface of the hard support plate 150 at the top.

[0049] In this embodiment, it can be understood that the circuit board module 130 is arranged below the output shaft 113, and the position feedback member 121, such as a magnetic ring that provides feedback for the Hall sensor on the flexible circuit board 140, is fixed at the bottom end of the output shaft 113. Therefore, the lateral extension section 141 of the flexible circuit board 140 is attached to the upper surface of the hard support board 150 at the top, so that the sensor on the flexible circuit board 140 can directly correspond to the position feedback member 121, thereby ensuring the position detection accuracy.

[0050] The number of hard support plates 150 can be selected and designed according to the vibration strength of the motor body 110, and is not specifically limited here. For example, the hard support plates 150 can be set to two or three. Multiple hard support plates 150 can be fixed by screws, or by pressing, bonding, etc. In other embodiments, the structural strength of the circuit board module 130 can also be enhanced by thickening a single hard support plate 150. In this embodiment, by stacking multiple hard support plates 150, the connection stability of the entire circuit board module 130 can be further improved, the shaking of the sensor 122 set on the flexible circuit board 140 can be effectively avoided, and the detection accuracy of the rotation position of the output shaft 113 can be further improved. Compared with the method of thickening a single hard support plate 150, stacking multiple hard support plates 150 can effectively reduce costs.

[0051] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the motor assembly of the electric toothbrush further includes a position feedback member 121 , and the position feedback member 121 is fixedly connected to the rotor assembly 112 ; the sensor 122 is arranged corresponding to the position feedback member 121 to detect the rotation position of the output shaft 113 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the sensor 122 may be a Hall sensor, a laser sensor, an inductive sensor, etc. The position feedback member 121 is used to feedback position information to the sensor 122 to play a role in positioning. The position feedback member 121 is fixedly connected to the rotor assembly 112. The position feedback member 121 may be fixedly connected to the output shaft 113 or to the rotor core. It only needs to be able to rotate synchronously with the output shaft 113 to feedback the rotation position of the output shaft 113.

[0053] When the motor is working, the position feedback member 121 rotates with the output shaft 113. When the position feedback member 121 rotates to correspond to the sensor 122, the rotation of the rotor assembly 112 is restricted, and then the output shaft 113 rotates in the opposite direction. In this way, the large reciprocating rotation of the output shaft 113 can be controlled. Since the motor vibrates when working, the connection between the flexible circuit board 140 and the motor housing 114 is unstable, so that the position sensor 122 on the flexible circuit board 140 will shake, which will affect the position detection accuracy of the output shaft 113. The present application strengthens and stabilizes the installation of the flexible circuit board 140 through the hard support plate 150, which can effectively prevent the flexible circuit board 140 from shaking the position sensor 122 thereon due to the vibration of the motor, thereby improving the position detection accuracy of the output shaft.

[0054] Furthermore, the position feedback member 121 includes a magnetic ring coaxially arranged with the output shaft 113 , the sensor 122 includes two Hall sensors, and the transverse extension section 141 is arranged below the magnetic ring at intervals; the two Hall sensors are fixed at intervals on the upper surface of the transverse extension section 141 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the magnetic ring can be fixedly mounted on the output shaft 113 by means of a bracket, a sleeve and other structures, so as to rotate synchronously with the output shaft 113. The Hall sensor can be fixed to the upper surface of the transverse extension section 141 by means of welding, bonding and the like. By setting two spaced Hall sensors on the upper surface of the transverse extension section 141, after the output shaft 113 rotates to one of the Hall sensors corresponding to the magnetic ring, the Hall limit switch is triggered to control the output shaft 113 to rotate in the opposite direction, and after the output shaft 113 rotates in the opposite direction to the other Hall sensor corresponding to the magnetic ring, the output shaft 113 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction again, thereby controlling the reciprocating rotation of the output shaft 113, and the reciprocating rotation angle of the output shaft 113 can be adjusted by setting the interval position of the two Hall sensors.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The hard support plate 150 and the transverse extension section 141 are arranged in a conformal manner, and the outer peripheral walls of the hard support plate 150 and the transverse extension section 141 are correspondingly provided with a motor cable notch 160, and the motor cable notch 160 is arranged to avoid multiple welding points. The motor cable notch 160 can be specifically U-shaped. The motor cable notch 160 is used to pass the motor wire through, and plays a role in positioning the motor wire. The motor cable notch 160 avoids multiple welding points, and the position of the motor cable notch 160 can be determined according to the arrangement of multiple welding points.

[0057] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 8As shown, a transition cut surface 153 is provided at the connection between the lateral extension section 141 and the connecting section 142 on the peripheral wall of the rigid support plate 150, and the connecting section 142 can be bent by the transition cut surface 153 to fit the plate surface of the rigid support plate 150 away from the lateral extension section 141. The peripheral wall of the rigid support plate 150 is provided with the transition cut surface 153, which makes it easier for the connecting section 142 to be bent to fit the plate surface of the rigid support plate 150 away from the lateral extension section 141, so as to ensure the smooth fit between the connecting piece and the rigid support plate 150 after being bent.

[0058] The utility model also provides a brush handle device 10, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The brush handle device 10 includes a brush handle housing 200, a main control board 300 and a motor assembly 100 of an electric toothbrush. The specific structure of the motor assembly 100 of the electric toothbrush refers to the above embodiment. The main control board 300 and the motor assembly 100 are installed in the brush handle housing 200, and the upper end of the output shaft 113 of the motor assembly 100 extends out of the brush handle housing 200; the connecting section 142 of the flexible circuit board 140 of the motor assembly 100 is electrically connected to the main control board 300; since the brush handle device 10 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

The hard support plate 150 of the motor assembly 100 is arranged between the power supply assembly 400 and the motor body 110, and the interval between the power supply assembly 400 and the motor body 110 is fully utilized. By opening a via hole on the main control board 300, the connecting section 142 of the flexible circuit board 140 can be connected to the control board through the via hole, which can ensure the compactness of the layout of the whole machine.

[0061] The utility model also proposes an electric toothbrush, which includes a brush head assembly and a brush handle device 10.
