DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The electric toothbrush 10 of the present application comprises a toothbrush handle 100 and a toothbrush head 200. The toothbrush handle 100 can comprise a handle shell 110 and a driving motor (not labeled in the figure). The driving motor (not labeled in the figure) can be arranged in the handle shell 110. The driving motor can be connected to the toothbrush head 200 through an output rod (not labeled in the figure) for driving the toothbrush head 200 to brush the teeth.
[0026] The electric toothbrush 10 can comprise a movement core support 120, a circuit board 121 and a battery (not labeled in the figure) arranged in the handle shell 110. The movement core support 120 can support the circuit board 121, the driving motor (not labeled in the figure) and the battery (not labeled in the figure).
[0027] The movement core support 120 can be in the shape of a long strip. The shape of the handle shell 110 is adapted to the movement core support 120, so that the handle shell 110 can be sleeved on the outside of the movement core support 120. The circuit board 121 can be arranged between the movement core support 120 and the handle shell 110.
[0028] As shown in Figures 1-2 The electric toothbrush 10 comprises a first light emitting device 140, a second light emitting device 150, a light blocking member 130 and a first light blocking layer 160.
[0029] The first light emitting device 140 and the second light emitting device 150 are arranged between the core support 120 and the handle shell 110 and are separated by the light blocking member 130. The first light emitting device 140 is used to emit first illumination light, and the second light emitting device 150 is used to emit second illumination light.
[0030] The first light blocking layer 160 covers the first light emitting device 140 and the second light emitting device 150 respectively. The first light blocking layer 160 is provided with a preset pattern 30 exposed to the outside of the handle shell 110, and the preset pattern 30 comprises a first pattern 31 arranged corresponding to the first light emitting device 140 and a second pattern 32 arranged corresponding to the second light emitting device 150.
[0031] The first pattern 31 is used to transmit the first illumination light to shape the first illumination light, so that the first illumination light illuminates the first pattern 31 to form a first light emitting pattern. The second pattern 32 is used to transmit the second illumination light to shape the second illumination light, so that the second illumination light illuminates the second pattern 32 to form a second light emitting pattern. The first illumination light can be different in color from the second illumination light.
[0032] In the above manner, at least the following two aspects are beneficial. First, the first illumination light and the second illumination light are separated by the light blocking member 130, so that the colors of the first illumination light and the second illumination light are different and do not cause light crosstalk in the handle shell 110, so that the first light emitting pattern and the second light emitting pattern have clear boundaries. Second, when the color of the first illumination light is different from the color of the second illumination light, the illuminated preset pattern 30 comprises the first light emitting pattern 31 and the second light emitting pattern 32 which are different in color, and has multiple colors. That is, the illuminated preset pattern has clear boundaries and constitutes elements in addition to the pattern shape, including different pattern colors. Therefore, the elements of the illuminated preset pattern in the present application are more diversified.
[0033] In addition, in the present application, when the display of the light emitting pattern is required, the preset pattern 30 is illuminated by the first illumination light illuminating the first pattern 31 to form the first light emitting pattern and the second illumination light illuminating the second pattern 32 to form the second light emitting pattern, forming a combined light emitting pattern comprising the first light emitting pattern and the second light emitting pattern which is the same as the pattern shape of the preset pattern 30. Thus, compared with the existing array display technology to display the light emitting pattern, the light emitting device required by the display method of the light emitting pattern in the present application is less, and the cost is lower.
[0034] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-7As shown, the first light emitting device 140, the second light emitting device 150 and the light shielding member 130 are disposed on the circuit board 121 and between the circuit board 121 and the handle shell 110.
[0035] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-7 As shown, the first pattern 31 and the second pattern 32 are laser-engraved patterns. In this way, the first pattern 31 and the second pattern 32 are formed by laser-engraving the original light shielding material in the partial area of the first light shielding layer 160, thereby simplifying the processing technology of the first pattern 31 and the second pattern 32 and reducing the limitation on the application area of the first pattern 31 and the second pattern 32.
[0036] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-7 As shown, the first light shielding layer 160 includes a reflective layer 161, and the reflective layer 161 covers the first light emitting device 140 and the second light emitting device 150, respectively.
[0037] The reflective layer 161 is configured to reflect the first illuminating light and the second illuminating light, which are emitted to the outside of the handle shell 110, to the inside of the handle shell 110. The area where the first pattern 31 is located is formed as an opening through the reflective layer 161, so that the first pattern 31 can transmit the first illuminating light. The area where the second pattern 32 is located is formed as an opening through the reflective layer 161, so that the second pattern 32 can transmit the second illuminating light.
[0038] Specifically, the area where the first pattern 31 and the second pattern 32 need to be disposed in the reflective layer 161 can be peeled off by laser-engraving, so that the area where the first pattern 31 is located is formed as an opening through the reflective layer 161, and the area where the second pattern 32 is located is formed as an opening through the reflective layer 161.
[0039] It should be noted that, in combination with Figures 1-4 , referring to Figure 5 As shown, the other areas of the reflective layer 161 except the areas where the first pattern 31 and the second pattern 32 are located can reflect the first illuminating light and the second illuminating light, which are emitted to the outside of the handle shell 110, to the inside of the handle shell 110, the first pattern 31 can transmit the first illuminating light, and the second pattern 32 can transmit the second illuminating light. In this way, the first pattern 31 can shape the first illuminating light, so that the first illuminating light illuminates the area where the first pattern 31 is located to form a first light emitting pattern, and the second pattern 32 can shape the second illuminating light, so that the second illuminating light illuminates the area where the second pattern 32 is located to form a second light emitting pattern. In this way, the preset pattern 30 can be illuminated.
[0040] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-8 As shown, the first light shielding layer 160 includes an ink layer 162, and the ink layer 162 is disposed on the side of the reflective layer 161 facing the inside of the handle shell 110 and covers the first light emitting device 140 and the second light emitting device 150, respectively.
[0041] The region where the first pattern 31 is located is formed as an opening penetrating the reflective layer 161 and the ink layer 162, so that the first pattern 31 can transmit the first illumination light. The region where the second pattern 32 is located is formed as an opening penetrating the reflective layer 161 and the ink layer 162, so that the second pattern 32 can transmit the second illumination light.
[0042] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-8 The toothbrush handle 100 includes a light-transmitting layer 170, which is arranged on the side of the ink layer 162 facing the inner side of the handle shell 110 and covers the first light-emitting device 140 and the second light-emitting device 150, respectively. The light-transmitting layer 170 is used to support the ink layer 162, and the light-transmitting layer 170 is used to transmit the first illumination light and the second illumination light. The reflective layer 161 is a metal reflective layer plated on the outside of the ink layer 162.
[0043] In the above manner, the reflective layer 161 adopts the metal reflective layer 161 plated on the outside of the ink layer 162, so that the reflective layer 161 can be thinned. The ink layer 162 can be formed on the side of the light-transmitting layer 170 facing the outer side of the handle shell 110 by spraying, but is not limited thereto.
[0044] It should be noted that in other examples, the reflective layer can also adopt a DBR reflective layer (distributed Bragg reflector).
[0045] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-8 The handle shell 110 is formed with a second light-shielding layer 111, which covers the first light-emitting device 140 and the second light-emitting device 150, respectively, and is located on the side of the light-transmitting layer 170 facing the inner side of the handle shell 110. The handle shell 110 is provided with a mounting groove 115 located on the side of the second light-shielding layer 111 facing the outer side of the handle. The light-transmitting layer 170 and the first light-shielding layer 160 are detachably arranged in the mounting groove 115.
[0046] The second light-shielding layer 111 is provided with a first light-transmitting hole 112 and a second light-transmitting hole 113. The mounting groove 115 communicates with the first light-transmitting hole 112 and the second light-transmitting hole 113, respectively. The first light-transmitting hole 112 is used to transmit the first illumination light, and the second light-transmitting hole 113 is used to transmit the second illumination light. The first light-shielding layer 160 and the second light-shielding layer 111 are arranged in layers. When the layering direction of the first light-shielding layer 160 and the second light-shielding layer 111 is the projection direction, the projection of the first pattern 31 on the second light-shielding layer 111 along the projection direction is located in the first light-transmitting hole 112, and the projection of the second pattern 32 on the second light-shielding layer 111 along the projection direction is located in the second light-transmitting hole 113.
[0047] In this way, at least two beneficial effects are achieved. First, the light-transmitting layer 170 and the first light-blocking layer 160 are detachably arranged in the mounting groove 115, so that the light-transmitting layer 170 and the first light-blocking layer 160 can be conveniently detached and mounted. Second, the projection of the first pattern 31 on the second light-blocking layer 111 along the projection direction is located in the first light-transmitting hole 112, and the projection of the second pattern 32 on the second light-blocking layer 111 along the projection direction is located in the second light-transmitting hole 113, so that the shape of the first light-transmitting hole does not interfere with the shape of the first light-emitting pattern, and the shape of the second light-transmitting hole does not interfere with the shape of the second light-emitting pattern.
[0048] Optionally, in combination with Figures 1-8 , refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The preset pattern 30 is a smiling expression pattern. The first pattern 31 includes a left eye pattern 311 and a right eye pattern 312. The second pattern 32 is a mouth pattern. The handle shell 110 has a first area 117 corresponding to the left eye pattern 311 and a second area 118 corresponding to the right eye pattern 312. The first area 117 and the second area 118 are each provided with a first light-emitting device 140.
[0049] Optionally, the left eye pattern 311 and the right eye pattern 312 can be two spaced apart holes. For example, the left eye pattern 311 and the right eye pattern 312 are spaced apart long circular holes, the length direction of which extends along the length direction of the handle shell 110, but are not limited thereto. Optionally, the mouth pattern is a waist-shaped hole with a downwardly curved middle portion, but is not limited thereto.
[0050] In another example, the preset pattern 30 can be an expression pattern other than the smiling expression pattern, which includes but is not limited to an angry expression pattern or a surprised expression pattern, but is not limited thereto. In another example, the preset pattern 30 can be a character pattern or a pattern, but is not limited thereto.
[0051] Optionally, in combination with Figures 1-8 , refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The first light-emitting device 140 and the second light-emitting device 150 are used to indicate the current working state of the electric toothbrush 10 or to prompt the working state to be performed by the electric toothbrush 10. Specifically, different working states are indicated by the combination of the extinguishing and lighting of the first light-emitting device 140, the color of the first illumination light emitted by the first light-emitting device 140 when it is lit, and the extinguishing and lighting of the second light-emitting device 150.

[0053] The first, second and third light emitting elements 141, 142 and 143 can emit light simultaneously or at different times, so that the color of the first illumination light is the color of the light emitted by one of the first, second and third light emitting elements 141, 142 and 143 or the color formed by mixing the colors of the light emitted by at least two of the first, second and third light emitting elements 141, 142 and 143.
[0054] Optionally, the light emitted by the first light emitting element 141 is white, the light emitted by the second light emitting element 142 is green, and the light emitted by the third light emitting element 143 is red, but the application is not limited thereto.
