[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 5 Figures 1 to 5 , the present disclosure provides a handle 100 of an oral cleaning appliance, which can be used for oral cleaning appliances such as electric toothbrushes, flushing integrated machines, etc. The handle 100 of the oral cleaning appliance includes: a housing 1, a movement assembly 2, a light-emitting assembly 3, a display assembly 4, and a button assembly 5. Among them, the housing 1 is configured to be suitable for holding, and the user can hold the housing 1 by hand to operate the oral cleaning appliance. An inner cavity can be provided in the housing 1, the movement assembly 2 is arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 1, and the light-emitting assembly 3, the display assembly 4, and the button assembly 5 are all arranged on the outer wall of the housing 1.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 4 Figures 1 to 4 , the movement assembly 2 includes a bracket 25 fixedly arranged inside the housing 1, and the bracket 25 is used for fixedly installing other components of the movement assembly 2. Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, a drive motor 23 is installed on the bracket 25. The drive motor 23 has an output end 231, and the output end 231 can be used to connect to the brush head 200 of the oral cleaning appliance, so that the drive motor 23 can drive the brush head 200 to swing, so as to make the oral cleaner have a good cleaning effect. As Figure 3 shown, a battery 26 is also installed on the bracket 25, and the battery 26 is used to supply power to the components that need electricity in the movement assembly 2. As Figure 2 shown, a control main board 24 is also arranged on the bracket 25. The control main board 24 can be pasted on the bracket 25 and communicatively connected to some components in the movement assembly 2, thereby controlling the coordinated work of each component, so that the handle 100 of the oral cleaning appliance can perform various functions. For example, the control main board 24 can be communicatively connected to the drive motor 23 to control the opening and closing of the drive motor 23. For oral cleaning appliances with different cleaning intensities, the control main board 24 can also control the drive motor 23 to be turned on to different gears.
[0055] As Figure 5 shown, a first opening 11 is provided at the end of the housing 1 extending in the axial direction, and the light-emitting assembly 3 is installed on the housing 1 through the first opening 11. Specifically, the axial direction of the housing 1 is consistent with the extending direction of the output end 231 of the drive motor 23, and the output end 231 can extend out of the housing 1 from the first opening 11 to be connected to the brush head 200. As Figure 3 shown, the movement assembly 2 includes a light source 21 adjacent to the first opening 11. The light source 21 can be pasted on the bracket 25 and communicatively connected to the control main board 24, so that the control main board 24 controls the turning on or off of the light source 21. In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the light source 21 can be a single point light source. For example, a single LED lamp can be used, and the LED lamp can be a two-color or three-color LED, so as to enrich the light-emitting color.
[0056] As Figure 5 shown, the light-emitting component 3 includes a light-transmitting member 31. As Figure 3 shown, the movement component 2 further includes a light guide member 27. One end of the light guide member 27 is coupled to the light source 21 so as to be able to receive the light from the light source 21, and the other end of the light guide member 27 is used to cooperate with the light-transmitting member 31. Light is reflected and refracted within the light guide member 27, thereby realizing uniform conduction of the light emitted by the light source 21 to the light-transmitting member 31. At least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the light-transmitting member 31 is exposed outside the housing 1, so that the user can observe the optical signal.
[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the light-transmitting member 31 has a light-transmitting area 311. The light-transmitting area 311 can be at least partially exposed at a position outside the housing 1, and specifically can be located at a position between the handle 100 and the brush head 200 of the oral cleaning appliance. The optical signal emitted by the light source 21 can be conducted to the light-transmitting area 311, facilitating the user's observation. Setting the light-transmitting area 311 at the position between the handle 100 and the brush head 200 of the oral cleaning appliance improves the aesthetics of the oral cleaning appliance. The circumferentially arranged light-transmitting area 311 is convenient for the user to observe, and the user can observe the brightness and darkness state of the light-transmitting area 311 from any angle.
[0058] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a second opening 12 is formed in the side wall of the housing 1, and the display component 4 is mounted on the housing 1 through the second opening 12. As Figure 2 shown, the movement component 2 includes a display element 22 adjacent to the second opening 12. The display element 22 can specifically be a display screen. As Figure 5 shown, the display component 4 includes a display panel 41. A display area 411 is provided on the display panel 41, and a third opening 413 is provided at an interval from the display area 411. Among them, the third opening 413 is used to mount the button component 5; the display area 411 can be made of a transparent material, or the display area 411 can also be a hollowed-out area on the display panel 41. The side surface of the display element 22 close to the display panel 41 is configured to display visual information through the display area 411. Specifically, the visual information can include various information such as the current vibration mode of the oral cleaning appliance, the state of the switch, the current gear, the remaining battery power, etc. The user can directly see these visual information, thereby assisting the user to better use the oral cleaning appliance.
[0059] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the display element 22 is located on one side of the bracket 25 away from the light source 21. Specifically, the display element 22 is located on the side close to the second opening 12, while the light source 21 is located on the side away from the second opening 12. There are other components such as the bracket 25 and the drive motor 23 blocking between the light source 21 and the display element 22, so they will not interfere with each other at all. The present disclosure reasonably arranges the display element 22 and the light source 21 in the compact space inside the housing 1, and the light emitted by the light source 21 will not irradiate the display element 22, and the two do not interfere with each other, thereby enabling the light-emitting function and the function of displaying visual information to be reasonably integrated on the handle 100 of the oral cleaning appliance, improving the user experience.
[0060] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the key assembly 5 is at least partially exposed outside the housing 1 through the third opening 413. The key assembly 5 includes a flexible member 52 and a key body 51 disposed outside the flexible member 52. In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the flexible member 52 is disposed on the display panel 41 through the third opening 413. The flexible member 52 can be made of a soft rubber material, and the key body 51 is adhesively bonded to the outside of the flexible member 52. The key body 51 is at least partially exposed outside the housing 1, so as to facilitate the user to press. The key body 51 is configured to drive the flexible member 52 to deform under an external force, and after the external force disappears, the flexible member 52 can drive the key body 51 to rebound and reset together.
[0061] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, a trigger member 241 is provided on the control main board 24. The trigger member 241 can be located at a position corresponding to the key assembly 5. The trigger member 241 can be a button-type switch, that is, it can be pressed down under an external force to emit a trigger signal; the trigger member 241 can also be a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, etc. For example, when the trigger member 241 is a pressure sensor, it can be configured to emit a trigger signal when the pressure received is greater than a threshold; when the trigger member 241 is an infrared sensor, it can be configured to emit a trigger signal when the distance between it and the key assembly 5 is less than a threshold. When the user presses the key body 51, the key body 51 drives the flexible member 52 to deform, so as to be able to trigger the trigger member 241 located inside the flexible member 52. The trigger member 241 emits a trigger signal, and the control main board 24 can perform corresponding control based on the trigger signal.
[0062] The light emitted by the light source 21 built into the housing 1 of the present disclosure can pass through the light-emitting component 3, thereby providing visual feedback to the user in a timely manner; the display element 22 built into the housing 1 can display visual information through the display component 4, thereby intuitively showing information such as the current operating mode and switch position of the oral cleaning appliance to the user; the user can press the part of the button assembly 5 exposed outside the housing 1 to manually control the switch and mode of the oral cleaning appliance. By separately installing the light-emitting component 3 and the display component 4 on the housing and installing the button assembly 5 on the display panel 41, the present disclosure realizes the reasonable integration of the three functions onto the handle 100 of the oral cleaning appliance, improving the user experience.
[0063] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 5 shown, the light-emitting component 3 further includes a mounting member 32; based on the mounting member 32, the light-emitting component 3 having the light-transmitting member 31 is obtained by two-color injection molding or secondary injection molding, or, based on the light-transmitting member 31, the light-emitting component 3 having the mounting member 32 is obtained by two-color injection molding or secondary injection molding. When manufacturing the light-emitting component 3, one of the mounting member 32 or the light-transmitting member 31 needs to be pre-injection molded, and then the pre-obtained mounting member 32 or light-transmitting member 31 can be placed in the mold of the other, and injection molding is carried out using the process of two-color injection molding or secondary injection molding, so as to obtain the light-emitting component 3 in which the light-transmitting member 31 and the mounting member 32 are tightly connected together.
[0064] At least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the light-transmitting member 31 is exposed outside the housing 1 and is not blocked by the mounting member 32. The light-transmitting member 31 and the mounting member 32 can be made of the same material or different materials. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting member 32 is made of a solid-color material, while the light-transmitting member 31 is made of a translucent material. After the light-transmitting member 31 and the mounting member 32 are injection molded in two colors or by secondary injection molding to form the light-emitting component 3, the mounting member 32 will block part of the light-transmitting member 31, achieving the effect of partial light shielding; at the same time, there is an unblocked part of the light-transmitting member 31, and the unblocked part can be exposed outside the housing 1, thereby forming an annular light-transmitting area 311 that is convenient for the user to observe.
[0065] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6, a reinforcing rib 313 is provided on the surface of the light-transmitting member 31 adjacent to the mounting member 32, and a mating groove 321 adapted to the reinforcing rib 313 is provided on the surface of the mounting member 32 adjacent to the light-transmitting member 31. Specifically, the light-transmitting member 31 is configured as an annular shape, and the mounting member 32 is configured to be sleeved in the light-transmitting member 31; the reinforcing rib 313 is disposed around the inner peripheral surface of the light-transmitting member 31, and the mating groove 321 is disposed around the outer peripheral surface of the mounting member 32. If the surfaces of the light-transmitting member 31 and the mounting member 32 in contact with each other are smooth surfaces, after being connected together by a two-color injection molding or a secondary injection molding process, the light-transmitting member 31 will be unstably connected to the mounting member 32, and there may be a gap between the two, allowing liquid to seep in. Further, the mounting member 32 may even come out of the light-transmitting member 31. By providing the reinforcing rib 313 and the mating groove 321 structure in this embodiment, the light-transmitting member 31 and the mounting member 32 can be firmly connected and sealed against water.
[0066] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 5 shown, the display assembly 4 further includes a hard glue film 42, and the hard glue film 42 is disposed on the side of the display panel 41 away from the display element 22. Specifically, the hard glue film 42 is a decorative transparent film covering the outer surface of the display panel 41. Patterns or trademarks can be printed on the hard glue film 42, and it can also be designed in different colors, thereby enhancing the aesthetics of the display assembly 4. Based on the hard glue film 42, the display assembly 4 having the display panel 41 is obtained by in-mold injection molding, or alternatively, based on the display panel 41, the display assembly 4 having the hard glue film 42 is obtained by in-mold injection molding. When producing the display assembly 4, one of the display panel 41 or the hard glue film 42 needs to be obtained in advance, and then the pre-obtained display panel 41 or the hard glue film 42 can be placed in the mold of the other, and injection molding is performed using the in-mold injection molding process (IML), so as to obtain the display assembly 4 in which the display panel 41 and the hard glue film 42 are tightly connected together.
[0067] In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 5 shown, a fourth opening 421 is provided on the hard glue film 42. The fourth opening 421 can be located at a position corresponding to the third opening 413 and is configured to be not less than the third opening 413. This ensures that the key body 51 exposed outside the third opening 413 will not be blocked by the hard glue film 42 but can be exposed through the fourth opening 421.
[0068] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the light-emitting component 3 and the display component 4, the housing 1 is obtained by secondary injection molding, so that the light-emitting component 3 and the display component 4 are respectively connected to the housing 1 to form a first combined member. Specifically, when manufacturing the housing 1, the light-emitting component 3 and the display component 4 produced in the foregoing embodiment can be placed into the film of the housing 1, and the housing 1 is formed by injection molding using the secondary injection molding process. The light-emitting component 3 and the display component 4 are firmly connected to the housing 1, thereby forming a first combined member including the housing 1, the light-emitting component 3, and the display component 4.
[0069] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , at least a part of the circumferential surface of the light-transmitting member 31 adjacent to the inner wall of the housing 1 is configured as an uneven surface 312. Specifically, the outer circumferential surface of the light-transmitting member 31 is the circumferential surface adjacent to the inner wall of the housing 1, and at least a part of the outer circumferential surface of the light-transmitting member 31 is an uneven surface 312. Preferably, the entire outer circumferential surface of the light-transmitting member 31 in contact with the inner wall of the housing 1 can be configured as an uneven surface 312. This embodiment increases the contact area between the light-transmitting member 31 and the inner wall of the housing 1, enhances the biting force between the light-transmitting member 31 and the inner wall of the housing 1, and further enables the light-emitting component 3 to be more firmly connected to the housing 1.
[0070] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 , among the inner side wall of the second opening 12 and the outer side wall of the display panel 41, one is provided with a notch 121, and the other is provided with a flange 412, and the flange 412 is configured to be adapted to the notch 121. In this embodiment, the notch 121 is provided on the inner side wall of the second opening 12, and the flange 412 is provided on the outer side wall of the display panel 41. Further, the notch 121 is configured to be disposed around the inner side wall of the second opening 12; the flange 412 is configured to be disposed around the outer side wall of the display panel 41. As Figure 7 shown, the flange 412 can extend into the notch 121, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the display panel 41 and the housing 1; in addition, the circumferentially arranged flange 412 and notch 121 fill all the gaps between the display panel 41 and the housing 1, thereby enhancing the sealing and waterproof effect.
[0071] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first positioning member is provided on the side of the display panel 41 close to the displayed element 22, and a second positioning member is provided on the inner side wall of the housing 1, and the second positioning member is adapted to the first positioning member. Specifically, one of the first positioning member and the second positioning member is configured as a positioning block 414, and the other is configured as a positioning groove 13. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9, the first positioning member is a positioning block 414 provided on the display panel 41, and the second positioning member is a positioning groove 13 provided on the inner side wall of the housing 1.
[0072] Specifically, three positioning blocks 414 and three positioning grooves 13 are respectively provided, and the three positioning blocks 414 are respectively adapted to their corresponding positioning grooves 13. As Figure 9 shown, the three positioning blocks 414 are configured to be symmetrically arranged. In the direction towards their corresponding positioning grooves 13, the extension length of the middle positioning block 414 is greater than that of the other two positioning blocks 414. Referring to Figure 9 the view direction, the two positioning blocks 414 on the left and right sides are axially symmetrically arranged, and the protruding degree of the middle positioning block 414 is higher than that of the other two positioning blocks 414. Correspondingly, as Figure 8 shown, the three positioning grooves 13 are also symmetrically arranged on the inner side wall of the housing 1, and the depression depth of the middle positioning groove 13 is greater than that of the other two positioning grooves 13. The three positioning blocks 414 respectively extend into the three positioning grooves 13, thereby realizing the positioning function. It can be understood that the stress at the connection position between the display panel 41 and the housing 1 is large, and the positioning structure can ensure the stable connection between the display panel 41 and the housing 1 and prevent the display panel 41 and / or the housing 1 from deforming.
[0073] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the display panel 41 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other along the axial extension direction. Among them, the third opening 413 is located on the first side, and the display area 411 is located on the second side. The thickness of the first side of the display panel 41 is smaller than that of the second side. Specifically, the ratio range of the thickness of the first side to the thickness of the second side is 0.4 - 0.6. Preferably, the thickness of the first side is half of the thickness of the second side. The first side of the display panel 41 is relatively thinner than the second side, so that it can be used for filling the glue flow during injection molding, that is, for enclosing with the mold to form a glue inlet.
[0074] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the display panel 41 can be made of a transparent material. As Figure 9 shown, the display area 411 is configured to be recessed 0.2 - 0.5 millimeters from the inner wall of the display panel 41 towards the outer surface of the housing 1. As described above, the display area 411 is the area corresponding to the display element 22. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the transparent material of the display area 411 is clear and scratch-free, so as to ensure the display effect of the display element 22. Therefore, in this embodiment, the display area 411 is set as a recessed area, so as to prevent the display area 411 from being scratched during the demolding process after injection molding. The display area 411 can maintain a clean and transparent state, so that the user can clearly see the display visual information of the display element 22 through the display area 411.
[0075] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first combined component is configured to be injection-molded in the cavity of the flexible member 52 to form the flexible member 52. Specifically, during the production process, the first combined component including the housing 1, the light-emitting component 3, and the display component 4 needs to be placed into the mold of the flexible member 52, and injection molding is performed at the position of the third opening 413 to form the flexible member 52. As Figure 7 shown, the flexible member 52 is configured to be at least partially located inside the display panel 41. Specifically, the flexible member 52 includes an abutting portion 521, and the abutting portion 521 is configured to extend into the inner cavity of the housing 1 through the third opening 413 and the second opening 12, and is configured to abut against the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0076] The abutting portion 521 has a certain thickness, so that the flexible member 52 can effectively utilize the internal space of the housing 1, and the flexible member 52 will not protrude outward too much. The highest point of the key body 51 pasted on the flexible member 52 can be basically flush with the outer wall of the housing 1, so that the key assembly 5 basically does not occupy the space outside the housing 1, and thus the oral cleaning appliance handle 100 has a smaller size. In addition, the flexible member 52 can be made of a soft rubber material, and the abutting portion 521 abutting against the inner wall of the housing 1 can play a role in waterproof sealing, and liquid will not seep into the inside of the housing 1 from the third opening 413, thereby enabling the movement assembly 2 to maintain a dry state and operate normally.
[0077] The present disclosure also provides an oral cleaning appliance, including an oral cleaning appliance handle 100 and a brush head 200. The oral cleaning appliance handle 100 includes a driving motor 23. The entire structure of the oral cleaning appliance handle 100 has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here. The brush head 200 is disposed at the end of the oral cleaning appliance handle 100 and is configured to be connected to the output end 231 of the driving motor 23. The brush head 200 may include a plurality of tufts of bristles, and the tufts of bristles are used to contact the teeth to achieve the brushing function. The output end 231 of the driving motor 23 can drive the brush head 200 to swing, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0078] The various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to understand the disclosed embodiments.
