Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an electric toothbrush, in particular to an electric toothbrush capable of underwater sliding touch control. Background Art
[0002] An electric toothbrush is an electric toothbrush that uses the rapid rotation or vibration of the motor to generate high-frequency vibrations in the brush head, thereby cleaning teeth. As an important tool in modern oral care, electric toothbrushes offer efficient cleaning, a comfortable experience, intelligent operation, and aesthetically pleasing durability. However, proper usage and good maintenance habits are crucial to ensure their effectiveness and longevity.
[0003] Existing Chinese patent technology 202120068362.X includes: a housing, a movement; the movement includes a motor, a battery, a circuit board, and a bracket, and the motor is electrically connected to the circuit board; the first end of the bracket is provided with a first notch that engages with the bump on the rear cover of the motor, and the tail of the second end of the bracket is provided with a first clip that engages with the housing; the circuit board is installed above the bracket, and both sides of the bracket are provided with guides that engage with the circuit board; the inside of the housing is provided with at least one second notch that engages with the motor. The entire movement structure of the electric toothbrush adopts a full clip design, which makes the structural connection more compact. A silicone kit is provided inside to effectively reduce noise and waterproof. The guide part on the side of the bracket makes it easier for workers to blindly install the movement, reducing the mismatch rate while greatly improving production efficiency.
[0004] Although the existing technology uses a full snap-on design, the structural connection is tighter, and a silicone kit is installed inside, which can effectively reduce noise and waterproof. The guide part on the side of the bracket is set to facilitate workers to blindly install the movement, reducing the mismatching rate and greatly improving production efficiency, but it still uses physical buttons or capacitive buttons as control buttons. The production and maintenance costs of physical buttons are relatively high. Due to the particularity of physical buttons, rubber is often used at their installation. After long-term use, their connections are prone to cracking, causing water to enter and damage the electric toothbrush. The capacitive buttons will become insensitive to touch when exposed to water, which is more inconvenient. Utility Model Content
