Detailed implementation manners

[0044] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in the first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a toothbrush main body 1 is provided. The toothbrush main body 1 includes a handle housing 10, a movement 11, a first sensing component 12, a first touch part 13, a second sensing component 14, and a second touch part 15. The movement 11 is arranged in the handle housing 10. The first sensing component 12 is arranged in the handle housing 10 and is electrically connected to the movement 11. The first touch part 13 is arranged on the handle housing 10 and is correspondingly arranged with respect to the first sensing component 12. The first touch part 13 is used to trigger the first sensing component 12 when being touched. The second sensing component 14 is arranged in the handle housing 10 and is electrically connected to the movement 11. The second touch part 15 is arranged on the handle housing 10 and is correspondingly arranged with respect to the second sensing component 14. The second touch part 15 is used to trigger the second sensing component 14 when being touched. Among them, the movement 11 is configured to: when both the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 are triggered, execute the operation instruction sent by the first sensing component 12.

[0047] The toothbrush main body 1 provided in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing a first sensing component 12, a first touch part 13, a second sensing component 14 and a second touch part 15, when both the first touch part 13 and the second touch part 15 are touched by the user, both the first sensing part and the second sensing part are triggered. At this time, the movement mechanism 11 will execute the operation instruction sent by the first sensing component 12. For example, it can turn on or off the toothbrush main body 1, or switch the gear of the toothbrush main body 1. When the first touch part 13 is touched alone or the second touch part 15 is triggered alone, only the first sensing part or the second sensing part is triggered, and the movement mechanism 11 will not respond, which can reduce the situation that the toothbrush main body 1 executes an operation instruction of a non-user-initiated operation due to accidental touch. For example, when the user does not need to use the toothbrush main body 1, if an accidental touch occurs, that is, the first touch part 13 or the second touch part 15 is touched alone, it will not cause the toothbrush main body 1 to drive the brush head to rotate. Or, when the user is using the toothbrush main body 1, if an accidental touch occurs, that is, the first touch part 13 or the second touch part 15 is triggered alone, it will not cause the gear to be suddenly switched during the user's use of the toothbrush main body 1, thereby improving the user experience.

[0048] In this embodiment, both the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 being triggered can be that the user touches the first touch part 13 and the second touch part 15 simultaneously, so that the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 are triggered simultaneously; or, it can also be that the first touch part 13 is touched first to trigger the first sensing component 12 first, and then the second touch part is touched immediately to trigger the second sensing component 14, so that both the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 are triggered; or, it can also be that the second touch part 15 is touched first to trigger the second sensing component 14 first, and then the second touch part is touched immediately to trigger the second sensing component 14, so that both the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 are triggered. The above methods can be operated according to the user's usage habits.

[0049] Optionally, the ways to implement that the movement mechanism 11 executes the operation instruction sent by the first sensing component 12 when both the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 are triggered may include but are not limited to the following implementation ways:

[0050] As one implementation, a control logic method can be adopted. That is, when the movement 11 receives signals that both the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 are triggered simultaneously, the movement 11 executes the operation instruction sent by the first sensing component 12. However, when the movement 11 only receives the signal that the first sensing component 12 is triggered and does not receive the signal that the second sensing component 14 is triggered, the movement 11 will not execute the operation instruction sent by the first sensing component 12. When the movement 11 only receives the signal that the second sensing component 14 is triggered and does not receive the signal that the first sensing component 12 is triggered, or when neither the first sensing component 12 nor the second sensing component 14 is triggered, the movement 11 will not receive an operation instruction.

[0051] As another implementation, a circuit control method can also be adopted. That is, when the second sensing component 14 is not triggered, the control circuit of the first sensing component 12 is disconnected from the movement 11. At this time, when the first sensing component 12 is triggered, the movement 11 cannot receive an operation instruction. When the second sensing component 14 is triggered, the control circuit of the first sensing component 12 is connected to the movement 11. At this time, when the first sensing component 12 is triggered, the movement 11 can receive and execute the operation instruction sent by the first sensing component 12.

[0052] Optionally, the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 can be microswitches, pressure sensors, capacitance sensors, eddy current sensors, visible light sensors, infrared sensors, etc., and can be specifically selected according to actual situations, and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0053] Taking the triggering principle of the first sensing component 12 being triggered by the first touch portion 13 when the first sensing component 12 is an electronic component as an example, the triggering principles of the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 are briefly introduced as follows:

[0054] When the first sensing component 12 is a microswitch, a pressure sensor, a capacitance sensor, or an eddy current sensor, when the user's finger presses the first touch portion 13, the first sensing component 12 is squeezed by the first touch portion 13, so that the first sensing component 12 is triggered. After the user releases the first touch portion 13, the first sensing component 12 will return to the untriggered state.

[0055] When the first sensing component 12 is a visible light sensor or an infrared sensor, when the user's finger touches the first touch portion 13, the light emitted by the first sensing component 12 is blocked by the user's finger, so that the first sensing component 12 is triggered. After the user's finger leaves the first touch portion 13, the light emitted by the first sensing component 12 is no longer blocked, so that the first sensing component 12 is not triggered.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1, in some embodiments, in the circumferential direction of the handle housing 10, the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 are arranged at intervals. Since when a user holds the handle housing 10, usually the thumb and other fingers (such as the index finger or the middle finger, etc.) will respectively hold at positions spaced in the circumferential direction of the handle housing 10. By arranging the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 at intervals in the circumferential direction of the handle housing 10, it is convenient for the user to use the thumb and other fingers to respectively contact the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15.

[0057] In some embodiments, the handle housing 10 has a front surface 1a and a back surface 1b facing away from each other in the radial direction thereof. The first touch portion 13 is arranged on the front surface 1a, and the second touch portion 15 is arranged on the back surface 1b. Since when a user holds the handle housing 10, usually the thumb and other fingers will respectively hold on two opposite sides of the handle housing 10 in the radial direction. By arranging the first touch portion 13 on the front surface 1a of the handle housing 10 and arranging the second touch portion 15 on the back surface 1b of the handle housing 10, it can further facilitate the user to use the thumb and other fingers to respectively contact the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0058] Optionally, in the axial direction of the handle housing 10, the heights of the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 may be the same, or the first touch portion 13 may be relatively higher than the second touch portion 15, or the first touch portion 13 may be relatively lower than the second touch portion 15. Specifically, it can be selected according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0059] In some embodiments, in the axial direction of the handle housing 10, the distance between the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 is L, and L satisfies the relationship: 0mm ≤ L ≤ 15mm. This can make the distance between the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 in the axial direction of the handle housing 10 relatively close. Since the user usually is accustomed to using the index finger among other fingers, when the user holds the handle housing 10, when the thumb touches the first touch portion 13, whether the index finger touches the second touch portion 15 or the index finger does not touch the second touch portion 15, that is, whether the index finger is placed at a position equal in height to the second touch portion 15 or the index finger is placed at a position relatively higher or lower than the second touch portion 15, the user can hold in a relatively comfortable posture, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0060] Exemplarily, the distance L between the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 may be 0 mm. In this embodiment, in the axial direction of the handle housing 10, the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 have the same height. The distance L between the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 may also be 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, etc. In this embodiment, in the axial direction of the handle housing 10, the first touch portion 13 may be relatively higher or lower than the second touch portion 15. For example, when the distance L between the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 is 5 mm, the first touch portion 13 may be 5 mm higher than the second touch portion 15, or the first touch portion 13 may be 5 mm lower than the second touch portion 15.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the toothbrush main body 1 further includes a display component 17. The display component 17 is disposed on the front surface 1a. In the axial direction of the handle housing 10, the display component 17 is spaced apart from the first touch portion 13. The display component 17 is electrically connected to the movement 11. In this way, the display component 17 can display the current usage status of the toothbrush main body 1, improving the interactivity between the user and the toothbrush main body 1. At the same time, both the first touch portion 13 and the display component 17 are disposed on the front surface 1a, which facilitates the user to use the display component 17 while using the toothbrush main body 1 (when the user uses the toothbrush main body 1, the front surface 1a is usually facing the user), and the use of the display component 17 is not affected when the user touches the first touch portion 13.

[0062] Optionally, the display component 17 may be a display screen or an indicator light, etc., which can be specifically selected according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0063] When the display component 17 is a display screen, the display screen can be used to display the current battery level, gear, or current time of the movement 11, etc., which can be specifically designed according to the actual situation. When the display component 17 is an indicator light, the indicator light can be used to indicate the on / off status of the movement 11. For example, when the movement 11 is turned off, the indicator light is extinguished, and when the movement 11 is turned on, the indicator light is lit. Or, the indicator light can also be used to indicate the current battery level of the movement 11. For example, when the battery of the movement 11 is fully charged, the indicator light lights up green, when the battery of the movement 11 is low, the indicator light lights up red, and when the movement 11 is being charged, the indicator light lights up yellow, which can be specifically designed according to the actual situation.

[0064] Optionally, the number of the first touch parts 13 is the same as that of the first sensing components 12, and the number of the first sensing components 12 and the first touch parts 13 can each be one or more. Similarly, the number of the second touch parts 15 is the same as that of the second sensing components 14, and the number of the second sensing components 14 and the second touch parts 15 can each be one or more. Moreover, the number of the first touch parts 13 and the second touch parts 15 can be the same or different. The specific number of the first touch parts 13, the first sensing components 12, the second touch parts 15, and the second sensing components 14 can be selected according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0065] Since the first sensing component 12 functions to issue operation instructions to adjust the working state of the toothbrush main body 1, the number of the first sensing components 12 and the first touch parts 13 can be designed according to the complexity of the functions of the toothbrush main body 1. While the second sensing component 14 only functions to prevent accidental touch, usually, one second sensing component 14 and one second touch part 15 are provided on the toothbrush main body 1, which can reduce the number of the sensing components and the touch parts, facilitating the miniaturized design and structural simplification of the toothbrush main body 1.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the number of both the first sensing components 12 and the first touch parts 13 is multiple. One first touch part 13 is provided corresponding to one first sensing component 12. The multiple first sensing components 12 are configured to issue different operation instructions. The movement mechanism 11 is configured to execute the operation instruction issued by the triggered first sensing component 12 when any one of the first sensing components 12 and the second sensing component 14 is triggered.

[0067] In this way, by providing multiple first sensing components 12 and multiple first touch parts 13, wherein each first sensing component 12 can issue different operation instructions to the movement mechanism 11, the functions of the toothbrush main body 1 are relatively rich. At the same time, when any one of the first touch parts 13 and the second touch part 15 is touched by the user, that is, when any one of the first sensing components 12 and the second sensing component 14 is triggered, the movement mechanism 11 will execute the operation instruction issued by the triggered first sensing component 12. When only any one of the first touch parts 13 is triggered while the second touch part 15 is not triggered, that is, when only one first sensing component 12 is triggered while the second sensing component is not triggered, the movement mechanism 11 will not execute the operation instruction issued by the triggered first sensing component 12, thereby realizing the function of preventing accidental touch for each first touch part 13.

[0068] In other embodiments, a first sensing component 12 and a first touch portion 13 may also be provided. Different touch methods are used to enable the first sensing component 12 to send different operation instructions to the movement 11. For example, when the first touch portion 13 is long-pressed and touches the second touch portion 15, the movement 11 executes the power-on or power-off function. When the first touch portion 13 is clicked and touches the second touch portion 15, the movement 11 executes the function of switching gears.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the movement 11 includes a mounting bracket 110, a first circuit board 111, and a second circuit board 112. The first circuit board 111 is disposed on the mounting bracket 110 and corresponds to the front surface 1a. The second circuit board 112 is disposed on the mounting bracket 110 and corresponds to the back surface 1b. The first circuit board 111 is electrically connected to the second circuit board 112. Among them, the first sensing component 12 is disposed on the first circuit board 111 and electrically connected to the first circuit board 111. The second sensing component 14 is disposed on the second circuit board 112 and electrically connected to the second circuit board 112.

[0070] In this way, by providing the mutually electrically connected first circuit board 111 and second circuit board 112, the first sensing component 12 can be directly disposed on the first circuit board 111, and the second sensing component 14 can be directly disposed on the second circuit board 112, facilitating the installation of the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14. At the same time, the electrical connection between the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 can be realized, and there is no need to additionally provide an electrical connection structure, simplifying the structural design of the toothbrush main body 1. At the same time, the first circuit board 111 and the second circuit board 112 are respectively disposed at the positions of the mounting bracket 110 corresponding to the front surface 1a and the back surface 1b. While ensuring the electrical connection between the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 can be achieved, the volume of the circuit board required can be reduced, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the toothbrush main body 1.

[0071] In some embodiments, the movement 11 further includes a motor (not shown) and a power storage component (not shown). The motor and the power storage component are disposed on the mounting bracket 110 and are both electrically connected to the circuit board. The motor is used to drive the brush head to rotate. The gear of the motor (i.e., the rotation speed of the motor) can be adjusted through the first sensing component 12 and the first touch portion 13. The power storage component is used to supply power to the circuit board.

[0072] Optionally, the power storage device can be a battery or a battery pack, etc., and can be specifically selected according to the actual situation, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0073] In this embodiment, a central processing unit (not shown) may be provided on the first circuit board 111. The central processing unit is used to receive information, process information, and control the working state of the movement 11. For example, when both the first touch part 13 and the second touch part 15 are touched, after the central processing unit receives the signals sent by the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14, it controls the motor to switch gears.

[0074] In this embodiment, if the toothbrush main body 1 further includes a display component 17, the display component 17 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 111. In this way, the first circuit board 111 can be used as the main control circuit board, and arranging both the display component 17 and the first sensing component 12 on the first circuit board 111 can facilitate the electrical connection of the display component 17, the first sensing component 12, and the movement 11, without the need to additionally set up electrical connection structures, simplifying the structural design of the toothbrush main body 1.

[0075] In other embodiments, the movement 11 may further include a third circuit board (not shown). The third circuit board is provided on the mounting bracket 110 and located on the front surface 1a. The third circuit board is electrically connected to the first circuit board 111. The first sensing component 12 is provided on the third circuit board. The first circuit board 111 is provided on the mounting bracket 110 and located between the first circuit board 111 and the second circuit board 112. In this way, the position of the first circuit board 111 on the mounting bracket 110 can be set more flexibly, that is, the setting position of the main control circuit board on the mounting bracket 110 is more flexible, which is beneficial to the reasonable arrangement of the components on the mounting bracket 110.

[0076] In some embodiments, the toothbrush main body 1 further includes a third sensing component 16. The third sensing component 16 is provided on the movement 11 and is configured to be triggered when the user uses the toothbrush main body 1 to control the movement 11 to turn on. In this embodiment, the third sensing component 16 is provided on the first circuit board 111 and is electrically connected to the first circuit board 111.

[0077] In this way, when the third sensing component 16 detects that the user is using the toothbrush main body 1, the third sensing component 16 will control the movement 11 to turn on, and when the third sensing component 16 detects that the user is not using the toothbrush main body 1, the third sensing component 16 will control the movement 11 to turn off, so as to be able to realize the automatic turn-on and automatic turn-off of the movement 11, improve the intelligence level of the toothbrush main body 1, and thus improve the user experience.

[0078] Optionally, the third sensing component 16 may be a motion sensor or a capacitance sensor, etc., and can be specifically selected according to the actual situation, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Since the user does not need to contact the third sensing component 16, the third sensing component 16 can be provided on the movement 11 without being exposed outside the handle housing 10.

[0079] When the third sensing component 16 is a motion sensor, when the user picks up the toothbrush main body 1, the motion sensor will detect that the toothbrush main body 1 is in a motion state. At this time, the movement mechanism 11 receives the motion state of the toothbrush main body 1 detected by the motion sensor and automatically turns on the movement mechanism 11 according to this motion state. When the user puts down the toothbrush main body 1, the motion sensor will detect that the toothbrush main body 1 is in a motion state again. At this time, the movement mechanism 11 receives the motion state of the toothbrush main body 1 detected by the motion sensor and automatically turns off the movement mechanism 11 according to this motion state.

[0080] When the third sensing component 16 is a capacitance sensor, when the user holds the toothbrush main body 1, the capacitance of the capacitance sensor will change. At this time, the movement mechanism 11 receives the capacitance value detected by the capacitance sensor and automatically turns on the movement mechanism 11 according to this capacitance value. When the user does not hold the toothbrush main body 1, the capacitance of the capacitance sensor is in the initial state. At this time, the movement mechanism 11 receives the capacitance value detected by the capacitance sensor and automatically turns off the movement mechanism 11 according to this capacitance value.

[0081] Optionally, the first touch part 13 and the second touch part 15 can be separately provided components, such as buttons or switches, etc. The first touch part 13 and the second touch part 15 can also be integrally provided with the handle housing 10. Specifically, it can be selected according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first touch part 13 and the handle housing 10 are configured to be integrally formed, and the second touch part 15 and the handle housing 10 are configured to be integrally formed. That is, both the first touch part 13 and the second touch part 15 are part of the handle housing 10. In this way, there is no need to additionally provide independent components, which can simplify the structure of the toothbrush main body 1 and reduce the assembly difficulty of the toothbrush main body 1.

[0083] Optionally, the material of the handle housing 10 can be plastic or metal, etc. Specifically, it can be selected according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0084] In some embodiments, in the radial direction of the handle housing 10, the thickness of the second touch part 15 is less than the thickness of the first touch part 13. Since when the user holds the handle housing 10, usually the thumb touches the first touch part 13 and the other fingers touch the second touch part 15. Compared with the thumb, it is not convenient for the other fingers to apply force. By making the thickness of the second touch part 15 less than the thickness of the first touch part 13, the sensitivity of the second sensing component 14 can be improved to ensure that the second sensing component 14 can be triggered by the user.

[0085] In some embodiments, in the radial direction of the handle housing 10, the thickness of the first touch portion 13 is d1, and the thickness of the second touch portion 15 is d2, and d1 and d2 satisfy the relationship: d1 ≥ 0.5 mm, d2 ≥ 0.5 mm.

[0086] As can be seen from the foregoing, in order to improve the sensitivity of the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14, the thicknesses of the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 can be made thinner. While making the thicknesses of the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 thinner, making the thicknesses of the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 satisfy being greater than or equal to 0.5 mm can enable the first sensing component 12 and the second sensing component 14 to have better sensing sensitivity, and can also ensure the structural strength and service life of the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 themselves, and avoid the phenomenon that the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 are prone to breakage during use.

[0087] Exemplarily, the thickness d1 of the first touch portion 13 can be 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 1 mm, etc., and the thickness d2 of the second touch portion 15 can be 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 1 mm, etc.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first touch portion 13 has a first touch surface 130 facing away from the movement 11, and the second touch portion 15 has a second touch surface 150 facing away from the movement 11.

[0089] In one example, the first touch surface 130 is recessed inward relative to the handle housing 10 in a direction approaching the movement 11. In this way, on the one hand, it can make the thickness of the first touch portion 13 thinner, so that the first sensing portion has better sensing sensitivity. On the other hand, it can provide different contact feels for the user, facilitating the user to recognize whether they have touched the first touch portion 13.

[0090] In another example, the second touch surface 150 is recessed inward relative to the handle housing 10 in a direction approaching the movement 11. In this way, on the one hand, it can make the thickness of the second touch portion 15 thinner, so that the second sensing portion has better sensing sensitivity. On the other hand, it can provide different contact feels for the user, facilitating the user to recognize whether they have touched the second touch portion 15.

[0091] In yet another example, the first touch surface 130 is recessed relative to the handle housing 10 in a direction approaching the movement 11, and the second touch surface 150 is recessed relative to the handle housing 10 in a direction approaching the movement 11. In this way, on the one hand, the thickness of the first touch control part 13 and the second touch control part 15 can be made thinner, so that the first sensing part and the second sensing part have better sensing sensitivity. On the other hand, different contact feels can be provided for the user, facilitating the user to identify whether they have touched the first touch control part 13 and the second touch control part 15.

[0092] In some embodiments, the handle housing 10 has an inner housing surface 100 facing the movement 11, the first touch control part 13 has a first inner surface 131 facing the movement 11, and the second touch control part 15 has a second inner surface 151 facing the movement 11.

[0093] In one example, the first inner surface 131 is flush with the inner housing surface 100. In this way, when the handle housing 10 is sleeved on the mounting bracket 110, the first inner surface 131 of the first touch control part 13 is not likely to collide with the mounting bracket 110 and the components on the mounting bracket 110, which is beneficial to the assembly of the handle housing 10 and the movement 11.

[0094] In another example, the second inner surface 151 is flush with the inner housing surface 100. In this way, when the handle housing 10 is sleeved on the mounting bracket 110, the second inner surface 151 of the second touch control part 15 is not likely to collide with the mounting bracket 110 and the components on the mounting bracket 110, which is beneficial to the assembly of the handle housing 10 and the movement 11.

[0095] In yet another example, both the first inner surface 131 and the second inner surface 151 are flush with the inner housing surface 100. In this way, on the one hand, when the handle housing 10 is sleeved on the mounting bracket 110, the first inner surface 131 of the first touch control part 13 and the second inner surface 151 of the second touch control part 15 are not likely to collide with the mounting bracket 110 and the components on the mounting bracket 110, which is beneficial to the assembly of the handle housing 10 and the movement 11. On the other hand, the entire inner surface of the handle housing 10 is a flat surface, which is beneficial to reducing the processing difficulty of the handle housing 10.

[0096] In some embodiments, in the axial direction of the handle housing 10, the length of the first touch control part 13 is greater than the length of the second touch control part 15.

[0097] In this way, when the user holds the handle housing 10, usually the thumb contacts the first touch portion 13, and the other fingers contact the second touch portion 15. Since the thumb is thicker than the other fingers, the contact area between the thumb and the first touch portion 13 is also larger than the contact area between the other fingers and the second touch portion 15. In the axial direction of the handle housing 10, by making the length of the first touch portion 13 greater than the length of the second touch portion 15, the sizes of the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15 can be adapted to the thumb and the other fingers, improving the comfort when the user touches the first touch portion 13 and the second touch portion 15.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the mounting bracket 110 is provided with an avoidance groove 110a, and the avoidance groove 110a extends along the circumferential direction of the handle housing 10; the movement 11 further includes a conductive member 113, the conductive member 113 is disposed in the avoidance groove 110a, and the conductive member 113 is connected between the first circuit board 111 and the second circuit board 112.

[0099] In this way, by providing the conductive member 113, the electrical connection between the first circuit board 111 and the second circuit board 112 can be realized. In addition, by providing the avoidance groove 110a on the mounting bracket 110, the avoidance groove 110a can accommodate the conductive member 113, so that the conductive member 113 does not protrude outward relative to the mounting bracket 110 in the radial direction of the handle housing 10, which can protect the conductive member 113, and at the same time, it is not easy to scrape the conductive member 113 when the handle housing 10 is sleeved on the mounting bracket 110, which is beneficial to the assembly of the handle housing 10 and the movement 11.

[0100] Optionally, the conductive member 113 can be an independently provided component, such as a wire or a metal sheet, etc. The conductive member 113 can also be integrally provided with the first circuit board 111 or the second circuit board 112. For example, the second circuit board 112 is set as a flexible circuit board, and a part of the second circuit board 112 is bent into the avoidance groove 110a and connected to the first circuit board 111. The part of the second circuit board 112 located in the avoidance groove 110a is the conductive member 113, which can be specifically selected according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

The electric toothbrush 2 includes a brush head 20 and a toothbrush main body 1 as described in the first aspect of the above embodiments of the present invention, and the brush head 20 is disposed on the movement 11.

[0102] The electric toothbrush 2 provided in the second aspect of the embodiment of the present utility model, the movement of the brush head 20 can be driven by the movement mechanism 11. For example, the brush head 20 can be driven to rotate around the straight line where the axis of the handle housing 10 is located, or the brush head 20 can be driven to move along the straight line where the axis of the handle housing 10 is located, or the brush head 20 can be driven to rotate around the straight line where the axis of the handle housing 10 is located and move along the straight line where the axis of the handle housing 10 is located at the same time. It can be understood that since the electric toothbrush 2 includes the toothbrush main body 1 as in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present utility model, therefore, the electric toothbrush 2 in the present application has all the technical effects of the toothbrush main body 1 described above. Since the technical effects of the toothbrush main body 1 have been fully described above, they will not be elaborated here.
