Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to electric toothbrushes, and more particularly to electric toothbrush transmission devices. Background Technology

[0002] Most current electric toothbrush solutions incorporate a built-in vibrating motor, with the brush head mounted on the motor's shaft. The high-frequency vibration of the motor drives the bristles on the brush head to vibrate at the same frequency, thus cleaning the teeth. However, many electric toothbrushes on the market integrate the drive wheel and drive shaft. When the drive shaft senses pressure, it can easily interfere with the gears of the transmission mechanism. This leads to increased load during operation, shorter battery life, increased noise, weaker cleaning power, and also affects the lifespan of the transmission system.

[0003] To address this issue, existing patent literature, such as the utility model patent for an electric toothbrush authorized on November 6, 2020, discloses a device including a transmission wheel, a swing block, and a transmission shaft. The transmission wheel is equipped with an eccentric slider offset from its central axis, and the swing block has a swing groove. The eccentric slider of the transmission wheel passes through the swing groove, and the transmission shaft is connected to the swing block and also to the toothbrush head. When the transmission wheel drives the eccentric slider to slide within the swing groove, the swing block reciprocates, thereby driving the toothbrush head to reciprocate and rotate via the transmission shaft. This patent uses a transmission structure with a first gear and a second gear, which not only requires high machining precision but also imposes restrictions on installation space and position, making assembly relatively cumbersome. Therefore, designing a compact, low-cost, and highly efficient electric toothbrush transmission device is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this case. Utility Model Content
