Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of personal care technology, and in particular to an output head and a personal care device. Background Art

[0002] There are some personal care devices on the market, such as electric toothbrushes that automatically dispense toothpaste or skin care devices that automatically output skin care products. There is usually only one delivery channel in these output heads. For example, the brush head of an electric toothbrush or the care head of a skin care device usually has only one delivery channel. When the personal care device can output multiple consumables, the former consumable is likely to remain in the delivery channel of the output head, and the remaining consumable will mix with the latter consumable to produce cross-flavor. For example, when strawberry-flavored toothpaste and mint-flavored toothpaste are mixed, the toothpastes will have cross-flavors, which will bring a bad user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application provides an output head and personal care equipment, which can avoid the problem of mixing between different consumables due to the reuse of the same flow channel by different consumables, thereby helping to improve the user experience.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a delivery head, including a delivery head body, wherein at least two flow channels for transmitting consumables are provided in the delivery head body.

[0005] In a second aspect, the present application provides a personal care device, comprising the output head described in the first aspect.

[0006] In an embodiment of the present application, at least two flow channels are arranged in the output head body. Thus, when the personal care device is capable of outputting more than two consumables, different consumables can be transmitted through different flow channels, that is, each flow channel is only used to transmit a fixed consumable. This can avoid the problem of mixing between different consumables due to reusing the same flow channel, thereby helping to improve the user experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0018] In the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, an output head and a personal care device provided by an embodiment of the present application are described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0019] See also Figure 1-8 , Figure 1-8 An output head provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied to personal care equipment. The output head includes an output head body 100 , and at least two flow channels 101 for transmitting consumables are provided in the output head body 100 .

[0020] Among the at least two flow channels 101, different flow channels 101 are separated from each other;

[0021] The output head body 100 includes a feed port and a discharge port 115 , the input ends of the at least two flow channels 101 are respectively connected to the feed port, and the output ends of the at least two flow channels 101 are respectively connected to the discharge port 115 .

[0022] The above-mentioned personal care device can be an electric toothbrush that automatically dispenses toothpaste, a skin care device that automatically outputs skin care products, or a massager that can output consumables, etc. Correspondingly, the above-mentioned output head is the output head of the personal care device for outputting consumables to the outside. For example, when the personal care device is an electric toothbrush, the output head is the brush head of the electric toothbrush. For another example, when the personal care device is a skin care device, the output head is a care head. Among them, the consumables can be consumables that can flow in the flow channel 101. For example, the consumables can be any one of oral care materials, hair care materials, and skin care materials. For example, oral care materials include toothpaste, mouthwash, etc., hair care materials include shaving foam, shampoo, etc., and skin care materials include facial cleansers, skin care products, etc. The output head can be any one of an oral care head, a hair care head, and a skin care head; for example, the oral care head includes a toothbrush head, a gum massage head, etc., the hair care head includes a razor head, a hair comb care head, etc., the skin care head includes a facial cleanser brush head, a skin care instrument massage head, an applicator head, etc., and can be applied to any personal care equipment in the personal care field, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0023] It is understandable that in the above-mentioned output head body 100, a partition can be formed between adjacent flow channels 101 to separate different flow channels 101 from each other. The partition can be integrally formed with the outer shell of the output head body 100. Alternatively, the partition can also be assembled with the outer shell of the output head body 100.

[0024] The feed port of the output head body 100 may include at least two sub-feed ports corresponding to the at least two flow channels 101, and each sub-feed port is connected to the input end of the corresponding flow channel 101. In other embodiments of the present application, the feed port may also be formed by the input ends of the at least two flow channels 101, that is, the feed port includes the input ends of the at least two flow channels 101.

[0025] The discharge port 115 of the output head body 100 may include at least two sub-discharge ports corresponding to the at least two flow channels 101, and each sub-discharge port is connected to the input end of the corresponding flow channel 101. In other embodiments of the present application, the discharge port 115 may also be formed by the output ends of the at least two flow channels 101, that is, the discharge port 115 includes the output ends of the at least two flow channels 101. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, a discharge channel may be provided in the output head body 100, and the output ends of the at least two flow channels 101 may be connected to the discharge channel. In this case, the output port of the discharge channel may form the discharge port 115.

[0026] It can be understood that during the operation of the personal care device, the personal care device can transfer the consumables to the feed port of the output head body 100 through the internal consumable transfer channel, and enter the corresponding flow channel 101 inside the output head body 100 from the feed port, and be transferred to the discharge port 115 of the output head body 100 through the flow channel 101 for output, so as to realize the automatic discharge function of the personal care device.

[0027] The cross section of the flow channel 101 may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, fan-shaped, semicircular, half-moon-shaped or irregular, and the present application does not impose any limitation thereto.

[0028] The above-mentioned flow channel 101 can be a linear, curved, irregular flow channel or any combination of two or more thereof, that is, the flow channel 101 can be entirely straight pipes or curved pipes, or one or more sections thereof can be straight pipes or curved pipes, or a combination of straight pipes and / or curved pipes and trumpet-shaped pipes (and / or irregular pipes), and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0029] In addition, the shape and size of the flow channel 101 can change with the shape trend of the output head body 100. For example, when the output head body 100 is a cylindrical brush rod, its diameter tends to gradually decrease from the consumable input end to the consumable output end. Correspondingly, the diameter of the flow channel 101 also tends to gradually decrease from the consumable input end to the consumable output end.

[0030] In this embodiment, at least two flow channels 101 are arranged in the output head body 100. Thus, when the personal care device is capable of outputting more than two consumables, different consumables can be transmitted through different flow channels 101, that is, each flow channel 101 is only used to transmit a fixed consumable. This can avoid the problem of mixing between different consumables due to the reuse of the same flow channel 101, thereby helping to improve the user experience.

[0031] Optionally, the output head body 100 includes an output end face 102, and the output port 115 is located on the output end face 102; wherein the output end face 102 is an end face of the output head body 100 for outputting consumables. The direction of the output head body 100 perpendicular to the output end face 102 is the thickness direction of the output head body 100.

[0032] Optionally, the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged in parallel, offset or a combination thereof. Let the direction perpendicular to the discharge end face 102 be the Z-axis direction, let the two directions parallel to the discharge end face 102 and perpendicular to each other be the Y-axis direction and the X-axis direction, wherein the Y-axis direction is consistent with the central axis direction of the output head body 100; please refer to 9(a), in some embodiments, the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged in parallel along the X-axis direction. Please refer to 9(b), in some embodiments, the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged in parallel along the Z-axis direction. Please refer to 9(c), in some embodiments, the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged in an offset manner.

[0033] It should be understood that the at least two flow channels 101 being arranged in parallel or arranged in parallel means that at least two flow channels 101 are arranged in parallel, and their shapes may be the same or different.

[0034] It is understandable that the above embodiment is an example of a scenario where the flow channel 101 is a linear flow channel. In fact, when the flow channel 101 is in a form other than a linear form, the arrangement of the at least two flow channels 101 can also be the same as Fig. 9 (a) to Fig. 9 (c) Arrange in a similar form, for example, when the flow channel 101 is curved, in any cross section of the output head body 100, the relative positions of the at least two flow channels 101 are the same, and in any cross section of the output head body 100, the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged side by side along the Z-axis direction or the X-axis direction, or, in any cross section of the output head body 100, the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged in an offset manner.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1As shown, the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the output head body 100. Since the discharge end face 102 of the output head body 100 usually needs to reserve a certain thickness space for installing the output component, for example, the discharge end face 102 of an electric toothbrush usually needs to reserve a space for planting bristles, and for another example, a care head or massage head usually needs to be arranged in the thickness direction of the output head body 100 for a care device or a massage device. In this way, the thickness dimension of the output head body 100 is usually small. Therefore, if at least two flow channels 101 are arranged along the thickness direction of the output head body 100, due to the limitation of the thickness space, the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel 101 may be very small and cannot meet the flow demand.

[0036] Specifically, taking the output head as a brush head as an example, due to the space limitation of the brush head hair planting area, if the flow channel 101 in the brush head is along the extension direction of the bristles (i.e. Figure 1 If the flow channels 101 are arranged in the Z-axis direction and the thickness of the brush head is not increased, and multiple flow channels 101 are provided, the space for hair planting will be occupied, the difficulty of hair planting will be increased, and the mass production of the brush head will be affected. For example, if the thickness of the brush head is 4mm, the size of two flow channels 101 needs to be about 3.5mm, and the remaining wall thickness of 0.5mm, if hair planting is still required, will lead to insufficient space for hair planting, and hair planting will be extremely difficult. Moreover, due to space limitations, when the size of the flow channels 101 is small, it will affect the flow rate and increase the resistance of the pump. If sufficient space is provided for setting two flow channels 101 by increasing the thickness of the brush head and the diameter of the brush handle, although this can ensure a certain flow rate of consumables, if the volume of the brush head is increased, it will easily cause the user to feel uncomfortable when entering the user's mouth.

[0037] Based on this, in order to ensure the flow rate of consumables without increasing the volume of the brush head, in the embodiment of the present application, the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged along the Figure 1 As shown, the X-axis direction is arranged in parallel. Since the X-axis direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the output head body 100, the provision of at least two flow channels 101 will not increase the thickness space required to be occupied by the flow channel 101 compared with the provision of a single flow channel 101 in the related art. In this way, multiple consumable flow channels 101 can be opened without increasing the head thickness of the output head body 100 and the brush rod diameter, and the production can be facilitated. Moreover, a larger flow channel 101 can be provided in a smaller brush head space to ensure the flow rate of consumables.

[0038] It is understandable that the flow channel 101 may extend along the length direction of the delivery head body 100, that is, the flow channel 101 may extend along the length direction of the delivery head body 100. Figure 1 and Figure 8 Extends in the Y-axis direction.

[0039] In this embodiment, by making the at least two flow channels 101 along Figure 1 As shown, they are arranged in parallel in the X-axis direction. In this way, multiple consumable flow channels 101 can be opened without increasing the head thickness of the output head body 100 and the brush rod diameter, and the production can be facilitated. Moreover, a larger flow channel 101 can be set in a smaller brush head space to ensure the consumable flow rate.

[0040] It should be understood that in order to ensure the flow rate of consumables without increasing the volume of the brush head, the present application also provides two other implementations: the first implementation: the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged along Figure 1 The Z-axis direction arrangement shown, a section of the flow channel 101 close to the discharge end face 102 can be set to an irregular shape to ensure that the consumable flow rate is met. The second type: the feed sections of the at least two flow channels 101 can also be offset, and a section of the flow channel 101 close to the discharge end face 102 can be set to an irregular shape to ensure that the consumable flow rate is met.

[0041] It should also be understood that when the output head is other care heads and massage heads, and its size is not limited, at least two flow channels 101 can also be arranged along Figure 1 The arrangement in the Z-axis direction is shown, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0042] Optionally, an installation channel 104 is provided at one end of the output head body 100 away from the discharge port 115 of the output head body 100 , and the installation channel 104 is used to connect the consumable input end and the at least two flow channels 101 .

[0043] Specifically, one end of the mounting channel 104 is located at the first end 103 of the output head body 100, and the other end of the mounting channel 104 is connected to the input ends of the at least two flow channels 101; the inner wall of the mounting channel 104 is provided with a clamping portion 105 for clamping with the driving shaft of the personal protection device.

[0044] It is understandable that after the drive shaft of the personal care device is connected to the output head body 100, the drive shaft can drive the output head body 100 to perform mechanical movement, and automatically output the consumables while combining the mechanical movement of the output head body 100 to promote the application of consumables. Taking the output head body 100 as an example of a brush head, the drive shaft of the personal care device corresponds to a hollow sonic motor shaft. While the hollow sonic motor shaft outputs consumables, it can also drive the brush head to vibrate, thereby realizing the automatic cream dispensing and brushing operations, which is convenient for users. Taking the output head body 100 as an example of a massage head of a skin care device, the hollow motor shaft of the skin care device can output skin care products while driving the massage head to rotate and / or vibrate, thereby realizing the automatic dispensing of skin care products while enabling the massage head to perform massage operations.

[0045] The above-mentioned clamping portion 105 may be a protrusion on the inner wall of the installation channel 104, or a clamping member 116 may be provided in the installation channel 104, and the inner wall of the clamping member 116 may be provided with the above-mentioned clamping portion 105. For example, see Figure 2-3 as well as Figure 5-7 In some embodiments of the present application, the output head also includes a clip 116, which is a hollow structure for installing the drive shaft of the personal protection device, and the inner side wall of the clip 116 forms one or more protrusions to form the above-mentioned clip 105.

[0046] It can be understood that the installation channel 104 is clamped with the consumable input end through the clamping portion 105 or the clamping member 116 .

[0047] Optionally, the clamping member 116 is connected to the output head body 100 by any method such as clamping, bonding, or threaded connection.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the clamping member 116 is mounted in the mounting channel 104 by clamping. More specifically, the outer wall of the clamping member 116 is provided with a protrusion, and the mounting channel 104 is provided with a groove adapted to the protrusion, and the protrusion is clamped in the groove, thereby forming a state in which the clamping member 116 is clamped and connected with the output head body 100.

[0049] It is understandable that the protrusion and the groove can also be arranged in the opposite direction, that is, the protrusion can be arranged on the inner wall of the installation channel 104, and the groove can be arranged on the outer wall of the clamping member 116, and the present application does not limit this. The protrusion and the groove can be one or more, and the present application does not limit their number.

[0050] In this embodiment of the present application, the outer side wall of the clamping member 116 is provided with two protrusions, including a first protrusion 117 and a second protrusion 118, and the inner side wall of the clamping member 116 is provided with a third protrusion, and the third protrusion forms the above-mentioned clamping portion 105. The mounting channel 104 is provided with grooves corresponding to the first protrusion 117 and the second protrusion 118 respectively.

[0051] It can be understood that the present application does not limit the number of protrusions and grooves. The protrusion can be a single square or arc-shaped block, or an annular protrusion extending around the inner wall or outer wall. The present application does not limit the specific shape of the protrusion.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving shaft of the personal protection device may include a slot corresponding to the third protrusion (i.e., the clamping portion 105). When the driving shaft is connected to the output head, the third protrusion is embedded in the slot to achieve the clamping connection between the driving shaft and the output head.

[0053] In this embodiment, a clamping portion 105 for clamping with the driving shaft of the personal protection device is provided on the inner wall of the installation channel 104 , so that the output head can be connected to the driving shaft through the clamping portion 105 .

[0054] Optionally, a connecting channel is provided in the delivery head body 100 , and the connecting channel is located between the mounting channel 104 and the at least two flow channels 101 , and the mounting channel 104 is in communication with the at least two flow channels 101 through the connecting channel.

[0055] The output head further includes a connecting piece, which is disposed in the connecting channel and is used to connect the consumable material input end and the at least two flow channels 101 .

[0056] A feed through hole and a discharge through hole are respectively arranged on both sides of the adapter, the feed through hole is connected with the consumable input end, and the discharge through hole is connected with the corresponding flow channel 101; the adapter also includes a transfer groove, which is connected with the feed through hole and the discharge through hole respectively, so that the feed through hole and the discharge through hole are connected through the transfer groove, and the feed through hole, the transfer groove and the discharge through hole form a transition flow channel connecting the consumable input end and the corresponding flow channel 101.

[0057] It is worth mentioning that the consumable input end can be the consumable outlet of the handle of the personal care device, specifically the hollow drive shaft of the personal care device, or other consumable output interface of the personal care device, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0058] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the adapter includes a first adapter plate 106 and a second adapter plate 107, the first adapter plate 106 and the second adapter plate 107 are stacked in the connecting channel, the second adapter plate 107 is located on the side of the first adapter plate 106 facing away from the at least two flow channels 101, and the first adapter plate 106 and the second adapter plate 107 form at least two transition flow channels that pass through the consumable input end and the corresponding flow channel 101.

[0059] Further, the first adapter plate 106 is provided with at least two first through holes 108 (i.e., discharge through holes) corresponding to the at least two flow channels 101, the first through holes 108 are arranged opposite to the input end of the corresponding flow channel 101, and the first adapter plate 106 is also provided with a first transition groove connected to the first through hole 108; the second adapter plate 107 is provided with at least two second through holes 110 (i.e., feed through holes) corresponding to the at least two first through holes 108, and the second adapter plate 107 is also provided with a second transition groove connected to the second through holes 110; wherein the first transition groove and the second transition groove form the adapter groove of the adapter. In the embodiment of the present application, the first through hole 108, the first transition groove, the second transition groove, and the second through hole 110 are connected to form the transition flow channel.

[0060] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiment of the present application, the side walls of the first adapter plate 106 and the side walls of the second adapter plate 107 are respectively fitted with the inner walls of the connecting channel, and the first end face of the first adapter plate 106 is fitted with the input ends of the at least two flow channels 101 to ensure the sealing of the consumable flow channel and avoid leakage.

[0061] Specifically, the personal care equipment generally includes, in addition to the output head, Figure 8 The handle 120 shown in the figure, the main components such as the feeding assembly and the driving assembly in the personal care device are usually arranged in the handle 120. In order to ensure the independent transmission of each consumable, the handle 120 is usually provided with at least two feeding channels 121 corresponding to the at least two flow channels 101. Since the arrangement direction of the feeding channel 121 and the at least two flow channels 101 may be inconsistent, for example, see Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the at least two feed channels 121 are arranged along the thickness direction of the output head body 100, that is, the arrangement direction of the at least two feed channels 121 is the Z-axis direction, which is perpendicular to the X-axis direction, and the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged at intervals along the X-axis direction. Since the arrangement directions of the at least two flow channels 101 and the at least two feed channels 121 are different, the consumable outlet of the feed channel 121 and the consumable input port of the flow channel 101 are not aligned. Therefore, in order to facilitate the docking of the at least two feed channels 121 with the at least two flow channels 101, in the embodiment of the present application, a first adapter plate 106 and a second adapter plate 107 are set, and the direction of the flow channel 101 is changed by the first adapter plate 106 and the second adapter plate 107, so as to realize a one-to-one correspondence between the at least two feed channels 121 and the at least two flow channels 101.

[0062] That is to say, by providing an adapter, the present application can make the output head adapt to the consumable input end that inputs consumables from different positions or directions, that is, make the output head suitable for connecting with different types of consumable input ends, thereby increasing the application range of the output head.

[0063] It should be understood that when the at least two flow channels 101 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, that is, the flow channel 101 and the corresponding feed channel 121 are arranged in the same direction, the consumable outlet of the feed channel 121 and the consumable input port of the flow channel 101 are aligned, and the output head body 100 can be selectively provided with the adapter, that is, the output head body 100 can be provided with or without the adapter.

[0064] In particular, the position of the second through hole 110 corresponds to the consumables input port, and by setting a transition flow channel, the position of the first through hole 108 can correspond to or not correspond to the second through hole 110, that is, the first through hole 108 can be set relative to or staggered with the second through hole 110, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0065] In some embodiments, a third adapter plate having a third transition groove may be provided between the second adapter plate 107 and the consumable material input port or between the first adapter plate 106 and the second adapter plate 107. That is, the adapter may include two or more adapter plates, and the two or more adapter plates form a transition flow channel through the cooperation of the transition groove and the through hole. The present application does not limit the number of adapter plates. By providing a transition flow channel, the flow direction of the consumable material can be changed to facilitate the connection between the output head and the handle 120 of the personal protection device. Optionally, the first transition groove 109 is provided on the second end face of the first adapter plate 106, wherein the first transition groove 109 connects the corresponding first through hole 108 and the second through hole 110, so that the consumable material entering from the second through hole 110 can flow through the first transition groove 109, enter the corresponding first through hole 108, and enter the corresponding flow channel 101 from the first through hole 108. The second end surface of the first adapter plate 106 is an end surface of the first adapter plate 106 close to the second adapter plate 107 .

[0066] Optionally, the second transition groove 111 is formed on the first end surface of the second adapter plate 107, wherein the second transition groove 111 is connected to the corresponding first through hole 108 and the second through hole 110, so that the consumables entering from the second through hole 110 can flow through the second transition groove 111, enter the corresponding first through hole 108, and enter the corresponding flow channel 101 from the first through hole 108. The first end surface of the second adapter plate 107 is the end surface close to the first adapter plate 106.

[0067] That is, the transition channel includes: a first transition groove 109 opened on the second end surface of the first adapter plate 106, and a second transition groove 111 opened on the first end surface of the second adapter plate 107, wherein the second end surface of the first adapter plate 106 is the end surface of the first adapter plate 106 close to the second adapter plate 107, and the first end surface of the second adapter plate 107 is the end surface of the second adapter plate 107 close to the first adapter plate 106;

[0068] The first transition groove 109 is in communication with the corresponding first through hole 108 , and the first transition groove 109 is in communication with the second transition groove 111 , and the second transition groove 111 is in communication with the corresponding second through hole 110 .

[0069] When the transition channel includes the above-mentioned first transition groove 109 and second transition groove 111, the cross-sectional shapes of the first transition groove 109 and the second transition groove 111 can be the same, and the edges are aligned. At this time, the first through hole 108, the first transition groove 109, the second transition groove 111 and the second through hole 110 are connected in sequence, so that the connection area of ​​the transition groove can be increased.

[0070] It should be noted that the second through hole 110 corresponding to the second transition groove 111 refers to: the second through hole 110 communicating with the second transition groove 111 .
