However, the connection between the handle shell and the physical buttons and the light-shielding sheet is usually sealed by a seal, and the seal is prone to aging, which affects the sealing effect, and the risk of water leakage is relatively high. Summary of the Utility Model

At least part of the handle shell is configured to be light-transmissive. The handle shell has a display area for displaying the working state of the oral care device or a control area. The display component is arranged in the handle shell, and the light-emitting side of the display component is correspondingly arranged opposite to the display area. The display component is used for emitting light to the display area.

[0006] In this way, through the display component, light can be emitted to the display area, and the display area can transmit light to display the working state of the oral care device or a control area, and the oral care device is controlled through the control area, without setting physical buttons, which can avoid the situation that the sealing effect is affected by aging due to the setting of a seal, and the risk of water leakage is relatively low.

[0007] As an optional implementation manner, in an embodiment of the utility model, the whole handle shell is configured to be light-transmissive.

[0008] In this way, the entire handle shell can be prepared from a light-transmissive material, which is relatively easy to prepare, can reduce the preparation cost, and is conducive to large-scale production. Moreover, the overall appearance of the handle shell is more unified and beautiful, providing a better user experience.

[0009] As an alternative implementation, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the handle shell includes a light-impermeable part and a light-transmissive part. The light-transmissive part and the light-impermeable part are connected to form an accommodation cavity inward. The display component is arranged in the accommodation cavity. The display area is located in the light-transmissive part, and the control area is located in the light-transmissive part and / or the light-impermeable part.

[0010] In this way, by connecting the light-transmissive part and the light-impermeable part to form an accommodation cavity inward, the accommodation cavity can provide an installation space for components such as the display component and protect them. Moreover, by using the light-transmissive part, the light emitted by the display component can be concentrated and transmitted at specific positions (such as the display area and the control area), avoiding the light emitted by the display component from being transmitted at other positions, which can improve the utilization rate of the light emitted by the display component, and the display area can more clearly display the working state of the oral care device or the display control area.

[0011] As an alternative implementation, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the display component is a display screen, and the display area is configured to be light-transmissive.

[0012] In this way, by configuring the display area to be light-transmissive and using a display screen as the display component, the working state of the oral care device or the control area can be directly displayed by changing the displayed content. The user can view the content displayed on the display screen through the display area.

[0013] As an alternative implementation, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the display component includes a first circuit board and a plurality of first light-emitting elements.

The light-emitting sides of the plurality of first light-emitting elements are arranged corresponding to the display area, and the display area is configured to be light-transmissive.

[0014] In this way, by configuring the display area to be light-transmissive, a plurality of first light-emitting elements arranged in an array can form an animation effect according to different luminous sequences, quantities, etc., and the working state of the oral care device or the control area can be displayed using the animation effect. The user can view the animation effect through the display area.

[0015] As an alternative implementation, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the display component includes a second circuit board, a second light-emitting element, and a light-shielding member.

At least a part of the display area corresponding to the light-transmitting area is configured to be light-transmissive.

[0016] In this way, by emitting light from the second light-emitting element to the light-shielding member, the light-transmitting area of the light-shielding member can transmit light, while other areas of the light-shielding member can block light, so that the transmitted light is projected onto the display area, and a light spot with the same shape as the light-transmitting area is displayed in the display area, thereby using light spots of different shapes to display the working state of the oral care device or the display control area in the display area. Alternatively, the working state of the oral care device or the display control area can be displayed by whether the light spot is displayed in the display area. Moreover, due to the presence of the light-shielding member, when the second light-emitting element does not emit light, the light-shielding member can block the second circuit board and the second light-emitting element, preventing the user from directly viewing the second circuit board and the second light-emitting element through the display area, which may cause the handle to be unaesthetic.

[0017] As an alternative implementation, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the light-shielding member is provided with a plurality of spaced light-transmitting areas, the shapes of the plurality of light-transmitting areas are the same or different, the display component includes a plurality of the second light-emitting elements, and the plurality of second light-emitting elements are correspondingly arranged one by one with the plurality of light-transmitting areas.

[0018] In this way, by transmitting the light emitted by the plurality of second light-emitting elements through the plurality of light-transmitting areas, a plurality of light spots can be displayed in the display area, thereby using different light spots to represent different working states of the oral care device displayed in the display area or different control areas.

The light-shielding member and the second circuit board can be pre-assembled and then integrally assembled into the handle housing, reducing the assembly difficulty of the handle and improving the assembly efficiency. It can be selected according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0021] As an alternative embodiment, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the handle further includes a detection component and a control component. The detection component is disposed inside the handle housing, the detection component is arranged corresponding to the control area, the detection component is used to detect the control signal of the control area, the control component is disposed inside the handle housing, the control component is electrically connected to the detection component and the display component, and the control component is used to control the display component according to the control signal.

[0022] In this way, when the user touches the control area to perform a control operation, the detection component can detect the control signal of the control area. At this time, the control component can receive this control signal and control the display component according to different control signals.

[0023] As an alternative embodiment, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the part of the handle housing where the control area is located is configured as a deformation part, the deformation part can deform, the detection component includes a pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is located inside the handle and abuts against the deformation part.

[0025] As an alternative embodiment, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the thickness of the deformation part is less than the thickness of the part of the handle housing that is transitionally connected to the deformation part, or the material hardness of the deformation part is less than the material hardness of the part of the handle housing that is transitionally connected to the deformation part.

[0026] In this way, by reducing the thickness or hardness of the handle housing at the position of the deformation part, the deformation part is more likely to deform under pressure compared to the part of the handle housing that is transitionally connected to the deformation part, so that the pressure sensor can accurately detect the pressure signal of the deformed part under pressure, and the sensitivity is relatively high. Moreover, the thickness or hardness of the part of the handle housing that is transitionally connected to the deformation part is relatively large, which can improve the overall structural strength of the handle housing and the service life of the handle is relatively long.

[0027] As an alternative embodiment, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the detection component includes a touch control board and a touch sensor. The touch control board is disposed inside the handle housing, and the touch sensor is disposed on the touch control board. The touch sensor is used to detect the capacitance change of the control area.

[0028] In this way, a touch sensor is set through the touch control panel, and the capacitance change of the control area is detected by the touch sensor. The capacitance change signal is transmitted to the control component as a control signal, and then the control component can control the display component according to the capacitance change signal.

[0029] As an alternative implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the control area is configured to be light transmissive.

The light detector is disposed on the third circuit board, and the light detector is used to detect whether the light emitted by the third light-emitting element to the control area is blocked.

[0030] In this way, since the control area is configured to be light transmissive, the third light-emitting element disposed on the third circuit board can emit light to the control area and transmit through the control area. When the user touches the control area for a control operation, the user blocks the light transmitted through the control area. At this time, the light detector detects that the light emitted by the third light-emitting element is blocked, and the blocking signal is transmitted to the control component as a control signal. Then, the control component can control the display component according to the blocking signal.

[0031] As an alternative implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the handle further includes an attitude sensor and a control component. The attitude sensor is disposed inside the handle housing, and the attitude sensor is used to detect the attitude information of the handle. The control component is disposed inside the handle housing, and the control component is electrically connected to the attitude sensor and the display component. The control component is used to control the operation or shutdown of the display component according to the attitude information.

[0032] In this way, by detecting the attitude information of the handle through the attitude sensor, the control component can control the operation or shutdown of the display component according to the attitude information.

[0058] Embodiment 1

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 FIG. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a handle 100 provided in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model. The handle 100 is applied to an oral care device. The handle 100 includes a handle housing 10 and a display component 20. At least part of the handle housing 10 is configured to be light-transmissive. The handle housing 10 has a display area 10a for displaying the working state of the oral care device or displaying a control area 10b. The display component 20 is disposed in the handle housing 10, and the light-emitting side of the display component 20 is correspondingly arranged opposite to the display area 10a. The display component 20 is used to emit light to the display area 10a.

[0060] Wherein, at least part of the handle 100 being configured to be light-transmissive means that: at least part or all of the display area 10a of the handle 100 can be configured to be light-transmissive, and / or, at least part or all of the area of the handle 100 other than the display area 10a can be configured to be light-transmissive.

[0061] Optionally, the display area 10a and the control area 10b may have an overlapping part, or the display area 10a and the control area 10b are independently spaced apart from each other.

[0062] For example, as Figure 3 shown, the handle housing 10 has a display area 10a for displaying the working state of the oral care device and a control area 10b for controlling the oral care device. The display area 10a and the control area 10b are independently spaced apart from each other.

[0063] For example, as Figure 4 shown, the handle housing 10 has a control area 10b for controlling the oral care device and a display area 10a for displaying the control area 10b. The display area 10a and the control area 10b have an overlapping part.

[0064] For example, asFigure 5 As shown, the handle housing 10 has a display area 10a for displaying the working state of the oral care device, a control area 10b for controlling the oral care device, and a display area 10a for displaying the control area 10b. The display area 10a for displaying the working state of the oral care device is spaced independently from the control area 10b for controlling the oral care device, and the display area 10a for displaying the control area 10b overlaps with the control area 10b for controlling the oral care device. At this time, the above different display areas 10a can emit light through the same or different (i.e., multiple) display components 20.

[0065] Among them, when the display area 10a is used to display the working state of the oral care device, it may include the power state, the current mode, the current intensity level, etc. When the display area 10a is used to display the control area 10b, it may include displaying the position where the control area 10b is located, the control type of the control area 10b (for example, start button, stop button, mode switching button, intensity switching button, etc.), that is, it can be understood as displaying different virtual buttons of the control area 10b.

[0066] Optionally, the above virtual buttons may have different graphics or patterns to be distinguished as different virtual buttons, or the above virtual buttons may display styles with indicating effects such as arrows, marks, area divisions, etc., so as to indicate the specific position of the control area 10b on the surface of the handle housing.

[0067] In this embodiment, by arranging the display component 20 in the handle housing 10, and using the display component 20 to emit light to the display area 10a of the handle housing 10, the display area 10a can transmit light to display the working state of the oral care device or the control area 10b. The user can know the working state of the oral care device or the position of the control area 10b through the display area 10a, so as to control the oral care device through the control area 10b. The handle 100 does not need to be provided with physical buttons, which can avoid the situation that the sealing effect is affected by aging due to the setting of the seal, and the risk of water leakage is relatively low. And, at least part of the handle housing 10 is configured to be light-transmissive. On the one hand, it can realize the display area 10a transmitting the light emitted by the display component 20, and can also beautify the handle 100, making the overall handle 100 more beautiful and the user experience better.

[0068] Moreover, the handle housing 10 of this embodiment adopts the above design, without the need to set physical buttons, and the display component 20 is located inside the handle housing 10. Except for some functional through holes that are inevitably required for the handle housing 10 to be applied to the oral care device, the handle housing 10 does not need to set additional through holes in other areas, keeping the surface of the handle housing 10 intact, which can improve the waterproof effect of the handle 100.

[0069] Among them, the functional through-holes include, but are not limited to: through-holes located at the top of the handle housing 10 for connecting the drive shaft of the servo motor inside the handle housing 10 to the brush head outside the handle housing 10, through-holes located at the bottom of the handle housing 10 to install components such as motors, transmission mechanisms, and batteries into the handle housing 10, or a charging port for charging the handle.

[0070] As an alternative embodiment, the entire handle housing 10 is configured to be light-transmissive. In this way, the entire handle housing 10 can be prepared using a light-transmissive material, with relatively low preparation difficulty, which can reduce the preparation cost and is conducive to large-scale production. Moreover, the overall appearance of the handle housing 10 is more uniform and beautiful, providing a better user experience.

[0071] As another alternative embodiment, the handle housing 10 includes a non-light-transmissive portion and a light-transmissive portion. The light-transmissive portion and the non-light-transmissive portion are connected to form an accommodation cavity inwardly. The display component 20 is disposed in the accommodation cavity. The display area 10a is located in the light-transmissive portion, and the control area 10b is located in the light-transmissive portion and / or the non-light-transmissive portion. In this way, by connecting the light-transmissive portion and the non-light-transmissive portion to form an accommodation cavity inwardly, the accommodation cavity can provide an installation space for components such as the display component 20 and protect them. Moreover, by using the light-transmissive portion, the light emitted by the display component 20 can be concentrated and transmitted at specific positions (such as the display area 10a and the control area 10b), avoiding the light emitted by the display component 20 from being transmitted at other positions, which can improve the utilization rate of the light emitted by the display component 20. The display area 10a can more clearly display the working state of the oral care device or the display control area 10b.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the display component 20 is a display screen, and the display area 10a is configured to be light-transmissive. In this way, by configuring the display area 10a to be light-transmissive and using a display screen for the display component 20, the working state of the oral care device or the control area 10b can be directly displayed by changing the displayed content, and the user can view the content displayed on the display screen through the display area 10a.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, the display component 20 includes a first circuit board 21 and a plurality of first light-emitting elements 22. The first circuit board 21 is disposed inside the handle housing 10, and the plurality of first light-emitting elements 22 are arranged in an array on the first circuit board 21. The light-emitting sides of the plurality of first light-emitting elements 22 are arranged corresponding to the display area 10a, and the display area 10a is configured to be light-transmissive. In this way, by configuring the display area 10a to be light-transmissive, the plurality of first light-emitting elements 22 arranged in an array can form an animation effect according to different light-emitting sequences, quantities, etc., and use the animation effect to display the working state of the oral care device or the control area 10b, and the user can view the animation effect through the display area 10a.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 shown, the display component 20 includes a second circuit board 23, a second light-emitting element 24, and a light-shielding member 25. The second circuit board 23 is disposed within the handle housing 10, the second light-emitting element 24 is disposed on the second circuit board 23, the light-emitting side of the second light-emitting element 24 is disposed corresponding to the display area 10a, the light-shielding member 25 is located between the second light-emitting element 24 and the display area 10a, the light-shielding member 25 is provided with a light-transmitting area 25a, and the light-transmitting area 25a is configured to transmit the light emitted by the second light-emitting element 24. At least a part of the display area 10a corresponding to the light-transmitting area 25a is configured to be light-transmissive. In this way, by emitting light from the second light-emitting element 24 to the light-shielding member 25, the light-transmitting area 25a of the light-shielding member 25 can transmit light, while other areas of the light-shielding member 25 can block light, so that the transmitted light is projected onto the display area 10a, and a light spot having the same shape as the light-transmitting area 25a is displayed in the display area 10a, thereby using light spots of different shapes to display the working state of the oral care device or the display control area 10b in the display area 10a. Alternatively, the working state of the oral care device or the display control area 10b can be displayed by whether the light spot is displayed in the display area 10a. For example, when the second light-emitting element 24 emits light, a light spot is displayed in the display area 10a, which can indicate that the oral care device is in the startup state, and when the second light-emitting element 24 does not emit light, no light spot is displayed in the display area 10a, which can indicate that the oral care device is in the shutdown state, and so on. Specific examples are not given one by one in this embodiment.

[0075] Moreover, due to the presence of the light-shielding member 25, when the second light-emitting element 24 does not emit light, the light-shielding member 25 can block the second circuit board 23 and the second light-emitting element 24, preventing the user from directly viewing the second circuit board 23 and the second light-emitting element 24 through the display area 10a, which may cause the handle 100 to be unsightly.

[0076] Among them, the light-transmitting area 25a can be a light-transmitting hole or made of a light-transmissive material, and the light-transmitting hole can be processed by laser engraving, drilling, injection molding, etc., and can be selected according to actual conditions. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0077] Exemplarily, the light-shielding member 25 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting regions 25a arranged at intervals. The shapes of the plurality of light-transmitting regions 25a are the same or different. The display component 20 includes a plurality of second light-emitting elements 24, and the plurality of second light-emitting elements 24 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of light-transmitting regions 25a. In this way, the light emitted by the plurality of second light-emitting elements 24 is transmitted through the plurality of light-transmitting regions 25a, and a plurality of light spots can be displayed in the display area 10a, so that different light spots can be used to represent different working states of the oral care device displayed in the display area 10a or different control areas 10b. For example, light spots of different shapes are formed through the light-transmitting regions 25a of different shapes, and light spots of different shapes can be used to display the power state, the current mode, the current intensity level, the start button, the stop button, the mode switching button, the intensity switching button, etc. Or, the power state, the current mode, and the current intensity level are displayed through the number of light spots. Taking the display of the power as an example, the more the number of light spots, the more sufficient the power. And so on, this embodiment will not list them one by one here.

[0078] Optionally, the light-shielding member 25 is bonded or welded to the second circuit board 23. Alternatively, the light-shielding member 25 is provided with a first snap portion, and the second circuit board 23 is provided with a second snap portion, and the second snap portion is snap-fitted with the first snap portion. In this way, a variety of different connection methods are provided to realize the assembly of the light-shielding member 25 and the second circuit board 23. The light-shielding member 25 and the second circuit board 23 can be pre-assembled and then integrally assembled into the handle housing 10, reducing the assembly difficulty of the handle 100 and improving the assembly efficiency. It can be selected according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0079] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the handle 100 further includes a detection component 30 and a control component (not shown). The detection component 30 is disposed in the handle housing 10, the detection component 30 is arranged corresponding to the control area 10b, and the detection component 30 is used to detect the control signal of the control area 10b. The control component is disposed in the handle housing 10, the control component is electrically connected to the detection component 30 and the display component 20, and the control component is used to control the display component 20 according to the control signal. In this way, when the user touches the control area 10b to perform a control operation, the detection component 30 can detect the control signal of the control area 10b. At this time, the control component can receive the control signal and control the display component 20 according to the difference of the control signal.

[0080] As an alternative embodiment, as Figure 9As shown, the part of the handle housing 10 where the control area 10b is located is configured as a deformable part. The deformable part can deform. The detection component 30 includes a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is located inside the handle 100 and abuts against the deformable part. In this way, when the user touches the deformable part, the deformable part is pressed and deformed. At this time, the pressure sensor can detect the pressure signal of the deformable part being pressed. The pressure signal is transmitted to the control component as a control signal, and then the control component can control the display component 20 according to the pressure signal.

[0081] Exemplarily, the thickness of the deformable part is smaller than the thickness of the part of the handle housing 10 that is transitionally connected to the deformable part. In this way, by reducing the thickness of the handle housing 10 at the position of the deformable part, the deformable part is more likely to deform under pressure compared to the part of the handle housing 10 that is transitionally connected to the deformable part, so that the pressure sensor can accurately detect the pressure signal of the deformable part being pressed, and the sensitivity is relatively high. Moreover, the thickness of the part of the handle housing 10 that is transitionally connected to the deformable part is larger, which can improve the overall structural strength of the handle housing 10, and the service life of the handle 100 is longer.

[0082] In some other embodiments, the material hardness of the deformable part is smaller than the material hardness of the part of the handle housing 10 that is transitionally connected to the deformable part. In this way, by reducing the material hardness of the handle housing 10 at the position of the deformable part, the deformable part is more likely to deform under pressure compared to the part of the handle housing 10 that is transitionally connected to the deformable part, so that the pressure sensor can accurately detect the pressure signal of the deformable part being pressed, and the sensitivity is relatively high. Moreover, the material hardness of the part of the handle housing 10 that is transitionally connected to the deformable part is larger, which can improve the overall structural strength of the handle housing 10, and the service life of the handle 100 is longer.

[0083] As another alternative implementation, as Figure 10 shown, the detection component 30 includes a touch control board 31 and a touch sensor 32. The touch control board 31 is arranged inside the handle housing 10, and the touch sensor 32 is arranged on the touch control board 31. The touch sensor 32 is used to detect the capacitance change of the control area 10b. In this way, by arranging the touch sensor 32 on the touch control board 31 and using the touch sensor 32 to detect the capacitance change of the control area 10b, the capacitance change signal is transmitted to the control component as a control signal, and then the control component can control the display component 20 according to the capacitance change signal.

[0084] As yet another alternative implementation, as Figure 11As shown, the control area 10b is configured to be light-transmissive. The detection component 30 includes a third circuit board 33, a third light-emitting element 34, and a light detector 35. The third circuit board 33 is disposed within the handle housing 10. The third light-emitting element 34 is disposed within the handle housing 10, and the third light-emitting element 34 faces the portion of the handle housing 10 where the display area 10a is located. The light detector 35 is disposed on the third circuit board 33, and the light detector 35 is configured to detect whether the light emitted from the third light-emitting element 34 to the control area 10b is blocked. In this way, due to the control area 10b being configured to be light-transmissive, the third light-emitting element 34 disposed on the third circuit board 33 can emit light to the control area 10b and the light can pass through the control area 10b. When a user touches the control area 10b to perform a control operation, the user blocks the light passing through the control area 10b. At this time, the light detector 35 detects that the light emitted from the third light-emitting element 34 is blocked, and the blocking signal is transmitted to the control component as a control signal. Then, the control component can control the display component 20 according to the blocking signal.

[0085] In some embodiments, the handle 100 further includes an attitude sensor (not shown) and a control component. The attitude sensor is disposed within the handle housing 10, and the attitude sensor is configured to detect the attitude information of the handle 100. The control component is disposed within the handle housing 10, and the control component is electrically connected to the attitude sensor and the display component 20. The control component is configured to control the operation or shutdown of the display component 20 according to the attitude information. In this way, by the attitude sensor detecting the attitude information of the handle 100, the control component can control the operation or shutdown of the display component 20 according to the attitude information.

[0086] Among them, the attitude information includes pitch angle, yaw angle, roll angle, etc. For example, when the oral care device is not in use, it is usually placed in a vertical attitude. When the user picks up the oral care device and the oral care device tilts, at this time, the pitch angle of the oral care device changes. The attitude sensor can detect the change in the pitch angle, thereby forming attitude information and transmitting the attitude information to the control component. The control component operates the display component 20 according to the attitude information. By analogy, this embodiment will not list them one by one here.

[0087] Optionally, the attitude sensor includes one or more of a six-axis sensor, a three-axis sensor, and an angle sensor. In this way, multiple different types of attitude sensors are provided and can be selected according to the actual situation. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0088] Embodiment 1 of the present utility model provides a handle 100. By arranging a display component 20 inside the handle housing 10, the display component 20 emits light to the display area 10a of the handle housing 10. The display area 10a can transmit light to display the working state of the oral care device or the control area 10b. The user can know the working state of the oral care device or the position of the control area 10b through the display area 10a, so as to control the oral care device through the control area 10b. The handle 100 does not need to be provided with physical buttons, which can avoid the situation that the sealing effect is affected by aging due to the setting of the seal, and the risk of water leakage is relatively low. Moreover, at least part of the handle housing 10 is configured to be light-transmissive. On the one hand, it can realize the display area 10a transmitting the light emitted by the display component 20, and can also beautify the handle 100. The overall appearance of the handle 100 is more beautiful, and the user experience is better.
