Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of oral cleaning equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cleaning device and a drive component. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of oral care, electric cleaning devices have become mainstream due to their highly efficient cleaning capabilities. Their core motor drive system, through precise control, can achieve composite motion modes such as brush head vibration and multi-dimensional oscillation. Combined with the bristle design, it effectively removes plaque and interdental debris, resulting in significantly higher cleaning efficiency than traditional manual methods.

[0003] In existing cleaning equipment, the mechanical friction of the brush head is insufficient to effectively remove stubborn residues in hidden areas such as between teeth and gingival sulcus. Especially for highly adhesive plaque and food impaction, it can only achieve surface cleaning through repeated brushing, resulting in insufficient cleaning coverage. Utility Model Content

[0060] This disclosure provides a cleaning device, which can be a nursing device with functions such as vibration and oscillation, such as an electric toothbrush. The cleaning device includes a drive assembly, a cleaning assembly, and a power supply assembly. The drive assembly provides power to the entire cleaning device, and the cleaning assembly acts on the surface to be cleaned, performing cleaning actions under the drive of the drive assembly.

[0061] The drive assembly can be a motor, including a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The stator assembly includes a magnetizable stator core, which can have one, two, or more pairs, each with an excitation winding. When energized, the power supply assembly excites the excitation windings via an electrical signal, generating an alternating magnetic field to magnetize the stator core. The rotor assembly includes a drive shaft and magnetic components. The magnetic components are fixed relative to the drive shaft and engage with the stator core. A fluid flow channel is provided within the drive shaft, allowing a drive pump to deliver cleaning fluid from the storage chamber into the fluid flow channel. The cleaning fluid can then directly act on the cleaning area, achieving a combined flushing and cleaning effect.

[0062] The cleaning equipment provided in this disclosure, by setting a liquid flow channel in the drive shaft, drives the pump to deliver the cleaning liquid from the storage chamber to the liquid flow channel, and forms a dynamic liquid flow path as the drive shaft rotates, so that the cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the working area of ​​the cleaning components, realizing a collaborative operation mode of flushing and rinsing, which significantly improves cleaning efficiency.

[0063] For ease of understanding, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 17 The specific structure and working principle of the cleaning equipment and drive components disclosed herein will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0064] In one embodiment of this disclosure, a cleaning device is provided, which may be an oral cleaning device such as an electric toothbrush or other care device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the cleaning device disclosed herein includes a housing assembly 5, wherein a cleaning assembly 2 is detachably connected to one end of the housing assembly 5. The interior of the housing assembly 5 is divided into a power chamber and a liquid storage chamber 15 by a partition. The liquid storage chamber 15 is provided inside the housing assembly 5 and can be used to contain cleaning fluid. A liquid inlet assembly 9 is also provided on the housing assembly 5. In actual operation, the liquid inlet assembly 9 can be removed to inject cleaning fluid into the housing assembly 5. It also includes a drive assembly 1 placed in the power chamber, a drive pump 12 communicating with the liquid storage chamber 15, and a power supply assembly 3. The drive assembly 1 provides power to the entire cleaning device, and the cleaning assembly 2 performs cleaning actions under the drive of the drive assembly 1. The power supply assembly 3 is configured to excite the excitation winding 122 through an electrical signal. The power supply component 3 can use a sealed rechargeable lithium battery module, which supports wireless charging or magnetic contact charging and outputs DC power to the drive circuit. The drive component 1 has a built-in inverter module that converts DC power into alternating current and integrates an electronic commutation system (including Hall sensor and drive chip). It dynamically switches the current direction of the excitation winding 122 by detecting the rotor position in real time, driving the rotor component to swing back and forth.

[0065] refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the cleaning device also includes a housing base 6. The housing assembly 5 has a cavity inside, which is used to accommodate the drive assembly 1 and the power supply assembly 3. An operation panel 7 is provided on the outside of the housing assembly 5. The operation panel 7 has a groove, and a button 8 is embedded in the groove. In actual operation, the user can set the cleaning intensity and frequency through the button 8. The housing base 6 is located at the bottom of the housing assembly 5, and the shape of the housing base 6 is adapted to the bottom shape of the housing assembly 5. The two are joined to form a closed cavity. A power supply bracket 10 is also provided in the inner cavity of the housing assembly 5. The power supply bracket 10 is configured to accommodate the power supply assembly 3. The drive pump 12 is provided on the body support. A first seal 13 and a second seal 14 are provided at both ends of the power supply bracket 10. Blind holes are provided on the power supply bracket 10. Fasteners 11 are fastened to the body support and the power supply bracket 10 through the blind holes. The first seal 13 and the second seal 14 at both ends of the power supply bracket 10 make the inner cavity of the entire housing assembly 5 divided into dry and wet separation spaces. The upper part serves as a drying space for components such as the main body support, PCB, and power source, while the lower part accommodates the liquid storage chamber 15. This design effectively separates the dry and wet areas, enhances waterproof reliability, protects sufficient capacity, and makes the liquid storage chamber 15 shorter, facilitating easier cleaning of its interior.

[0066] refer to Figure 3The drive assembly 1 may include a rotor assembly, a stator assembly, and a drive housing 18, wherein the drive housing 18 is used to house the rotor assembly and the stator assembly, and the stator assembly is coaxially fitted with the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly is used to convert electromagnetic energy into mechanical kinetic energy, and the stator assembly is used to establish a controllable electromagnetic field system.

[0067] The stator assembly includes at least one pair of magnetizable stator cores 121 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and each stator core 121 is provided with an excitation winding 122, which is configured to generate an alternating magnetic field when energized. When there are two or more stator cores 121, the stator cores 121 are usually evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotor assembly to facilitate the cyclic rotation or reciprocating oscillation of the rotor assembly.

[0068] The rotor assembly includes a drive shaft 111 with a fluid flow channel and a magnetic component 112 fixed relative to the drive shaft 111 and cooperating with the stator core 121. The drive pump 12 delivers liquid from the storage chamber 15 to the fluid flow channel. This liquid can be a cleaning solution or water. The liquid can directly act on the tooth surface, thus enabling the cleaning device to not only brush teeth with the cleaning component 2 but also rinse teeth with liquid, achieving a combined cleaning and rinsing function. The magnetic component 112 is configured to cause the rotor assembly to reciprocate angularly around its rotation axis under the drive of an alternating magnetic field. In this embodiment, the drive shaft 111 can be rotatably connected to the drive assembly 1 via a bearing or other structure, allowing the drive shaft 111 to rotate relative to the drive assembly 1.

[0069] In the stator core 121, the polarities of the magnets in all magnetic components 112 facing the stator core 121 are arranged alternately in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. By setting the alternating polarity of the magnetic components 112 along the circumference of the stator core 121, the polarity matching and switching between adjacent magnets and the stator's alternating magnetic field creates a continuous push-pull effect. Specifically, in the rotor assembly's direction of motion, adjacent magnetic components 112 can be arranged with alternating N and S poles on the stator side. When the stator magnetic field changes periodically, each magnetic component 112 is always subjected to alternating tangential magnetic force during the polarity switching, ensuring a uniform and continuous torque distribution during rotor reciprocating motion and eliminating dead zones. Simultaneously, the alternating polarity of the magnetic components 112 optimizes the magnetic field closed path, reduces leakage magnetic loss, and enhances the effective utilization rate of the magnetic field, thereby improving the response speed and energy conversion efficiency of the reciprocating motion.

[0070] like Figure 3As shown, in the drive assembly 1, the end of the drive housing 18 is closed by the end cap 16, and the drive shaft 111 runs through both ends of the housing. The two ends are supported by a first bearing 17 and a second bearing 24, respectively. The transmission assembly 4 is connected to the drive shaft 111 via the first bearing 17, and a spring 23 is placed between them to provide preload or dampen vibration. The excitation winding 122 surrounds the drive shaft 111 and is fixed by a winding bracket 19 for support and heat dissipation. At the other end of the drive shaft 111, a magnetic sensing ring 21 is fixed to a magnetic ring seat 22 and engages with the second bearing 24 via a bushing 20 to detect position or speed signals and achieve precise alignment. All components are precisely connected to form a stable structure, ensuring that the drive assembly 1 has high rotational accuracy, low vibration, and reliable electrical performance.

[0071] Further, refer to Figures 4 to 12 The magnetic component 112 includes a first magnet 1121 and a second magnet 1122 arranged circumferentially around the drive shaft 111 and cooperating with the same stator core 121. In the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of the stator core 121, the polarities of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 facing the stator core 121 are configured to alternate sequentially. For example, in the clockwise direction, the side of the first magnet 1121 facing the stator core 121 is the N pole, and the adjacent second magnet 1122 is the S pole. If multiple pairs of magnets are provided, all magnets are arranged alternately according to this pattern. Taking two pairs of magnets as an example, a polarity sequence of "NSNS" is formed.

[0072] The specific work process is as follows:

[0073] During the electromagnetic drive phase, when the excitation winding 122 of the stator core 121 is excited to the N pole, the magnetic field it generates repulsively interacts with the N pole of the first magnet 1121 and attracts the S pole of the adjacent second magnet 1122. These two forces, acting in the same direction, create a clockwise combined torque, driving the rotor assembly to rotate. As the rotor rotates to a predetermined angle, the repulsive force between the first magnet 1121 and the stator core 121 naturally weakens due to the increased distance. At this point, the excitation current direction switches, and the stator magnetic field polarity reverses to the S pole. The magnetic field then attracts the N pole of the first magnet 1121 and repels the S pole of the second magnet 1122, generating a counterclockwise reverse torque that drives the rotor to swing back. By periodically switching the excitation current direction, the stator magnetic field polarity alternates, causing the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 to be alternately subjected to pushing and pulling forces, and the drive shaft 111 continuously reciprocates within a preset swing angle. In this embodiment, the drive component 1 achieves energy transfer through the matching of alternating polarity magnets and alternating magnetic fields, and through the cyclic conversion of magnetic pole repulsion and attraction, ensuring motion continuity and high response efficiency.

[0074] Furthermore, at least a portion of the radially outer ends of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 are curved bodies with opposite polarities that cooperate with the same stator core 121, and the curved bodies have an outwardly pointing first arc shape. Specifically, when the end of the first magnet 1121 facing the stator core 121 is the S pole, the end of the second magnet 1122 facing the stator core 121 is the N pole; or, when the end of the first magnet 1121 facing the stator core 121 is the N pole, the end of the second magnet 1122 facing the stator core 121 is the S pole. In this way, after the excitation winding 122 is energized to generate a magnetic field, the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 can reciprocate and rotate by a predetermined angle under the action of the magnetic field, thereby realizing the reciprocating oscillation of the drive assembly 1.

[0075] refer to Figures 5 to 12 The stator core 121 has one end close to the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122, which is engaged with the curved body and has an outwardly pointing second arc; the central angle corresponding to the second arc is denoted as θ. In this embodiment, the value of θ is in the range of 70° to 100°.

[0076] θ is the central angle of the second arc of the stator core 121, which determines the coverage angle of the magnetic field coupling region between the stator core 121 and the magnet. If θ < 70°, the second arc of the stator core 121 is too narrow, causing the magnetic flux path of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 to be suddenly interrupted when they rotate to the edge position. At this time, the alignment angle between the first magnet 1121, the second magnet 1122 and the stator core 121 is insufficient, the magnetic reluctance increases sharply, the magnetic flux drops sharply, resulting in a sharp decrease in torque output. The first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 cannot maintain a stable magnetic force within a large angle range, the torque fluctuation intensifies, the electromagnetic torque range narrows, and it is difficult to achieve large swing angle drive.

[0077] If θ > 100°, the stator arc is too wide, resulting in an excessively long alignment angle between the magnet and the stator during rotation. However, the coverage angle of the first arc of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 is insufficient. At this point, although the magnetic flux is high when the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 rotate to the middle position, the magnetic flux distribution becomes uneven near the edge of θ because the first arc of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 cannot cover the second arc of the stator core 121. This leads to a non-uniform magnetic field distribution, characterized by "strong at the center and weak at the edges," causing torque output to fluctuate between peak and valley values ​​during rotation, making it impossible to maintain a stable large swing angle output. Therefore, controlling the value of θ to be between 70° and 100° ensures the stability of the electromagnetic torque and improves the large swing angle output capability of the drive assembly 1.

[0078] Further, refer to Figures 5 to 12Let β be the central angle corresponding to the first arc, where β ranges from 45° to 80°. If β < 45°, the effective pole area of ​​the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 will be insufficient, resulting in a significant reduction in magnetic flux and a decrease in electromagnetic torque. Furthermore, the coupling area between the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 and the stator will be too narrow, making it impossible to maintain a large swing angle drive and reducing the output torque range. If β > 80°, the tip region of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 will suffer from severe magnetic leakage, causing a large amount of magnetic flux leakage and a reduction in effective torque. Additionally, uneven magnetic field distribution will cause extra losses, significantly reducing motor efficiency. Therefore, under the premise of satisfying the θ / β ratio, the value of β is controlled to be between 45° and 80° to ensure a continuous magnetic flux path, minimize magnetic leakage, and achieve efficient and stable large swing angle output performance of the drive component 1.

[0079] In this embodiment, θ and β satisfy the following relationship: 0.875 ≤ θ / β ≤ 2.22. Limiting the relationship between θ and β to 0.875 ≤ θ / β ≤ 2.22 optimizes the magnetic pole coverage angle, effectively enhancing magnetic field coupling efficiency and reducing edge magnetic flux leakage. To further improve the efficiency of the drive assembly 1, the swing amplitude of the cleaning assembly 2 is controlled, further ensuring that θ and β satisfy the following relationship: 1.25 ≤ θ / β ≤ 1.55. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped fit ratio of the first magnet 1121, the second magnet 1122, and the stator core 121 is further optimized, which reduces magnetic flux leakage, improves magnetic field utilization, and reduces energy consumption to extend the operating range of the power supply assembly 3. Furthermore, by adjusting the θ / β ratio to control the swing amplitude of the cleaning assembly 2, a better balance between cleaning intensity and comfort can be achieved, resulting in a highly efficient, stable, and low-energy-consumption drive effect for the cleaning equipment.

[0080] refer to Figures 5 to 12 In one embodiment of this disclosure, in the same magnetic element 112, the angle between the center line of the first magnet 1121 and the center line of the second magnet 1122 is denoted as α. Specifically, the center line of the first magnet 1121 can be a line pointing from the center of the first magnet 1121 to the axis of rotation, and the center line of the second magnet 1122 can be a line pointing from the center of the second magnet 1122 to the axis of rotation. The value of α ranges from 80° to 100°.

[0081] If α is too small (<80°), the distance between the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 will be too close, leading to polarity conflict, broken magnetic flux paths, increased magnetic reluctance, and decreased output torque. Uneven magnetic field distribution will also cause unstable oscillation of the drive assembly 1. If α is too large (>100°), physical interference will occur at the edges of adjacent magnets during rotation, resulting in mechanical damage or friction noise. Asymmetrical magnetic field distribution will exacerbate torque output fluctuations and disrupt vibration stability. Therefore, the value of α is limited to 80° to 100° to ensure the symmetry of the magnet arrangement, the uniformity of the magnetic field distribution, the reliability of the mechanical structure, and ultimately achieve efficient and stable large-angle drive performance.

[0082] In this embodiment, in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis, with the rotation center of the rotor assembly as the projection center, within the range of the reciprocating angular displacement of the rotor assembly, the central projections of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 on their radial direction toward the projection center and the central projection of the stator core 121 on its radial direction toward the projection center always remain in a state of at least partial overlap.

[0083] Based on this, by ensuring the continuity of geometric projection, it is ensured that when the rotor swings to its limit angle, the magnetic field polarity ends of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 can still cover the excitation area of ​​the stator core 121, thereby avoiding the interruption of driving force or sudden drop in torque caused by complete separation of the magnetic field. The overlapping projection area provides a stable path for the closure of magnetic field lines, reducing leakage magnetic loss and enhancing magnetic field coupling efficiency; at the same time, it makes the driving torque change smoothly with the increase of angle, rather than suddenly increasing or decreasing, thereby suppressing vibration noise and reducing the impact load on the bearing. In addition, the physical constraint of the overlapping projection also avoids the risk of accidental separation of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 from the stator core 121 due to mechanical tolerances or temperature rise deformation, significantly improving the reliability of the drive assembly 1 under long-term high-frequency reciprocating motion, extending its service life, and ensuring amplitude consistency and low power consumption characteristics.

[0084] refer to Figures 5 to 12 In one embodiment of this disclosure, the drive assembly 1 can be circular or rectangular. Both the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 are arc-shaped, each including a third arc distributed radially thereon, and two side edges connecting the corresponding ends of the first and third arcs. The mounting groove is configured to fit the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122, specifically matching the arc contours and side angles of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122.

[0085] The central angles of the first and third arcs are the same. Specifically, the central angle corresponding to the first arc can be the angle formed between two first connecting line segments after connecting the two endpoints of the first arc to the center of the drive shaft 111. This central angle can be denoted as the first central angle. The central angle corresponding to the third arc can be the angle formed between two second connecting line segments after connecting the two endpoints of the third arc to the center of the drive shaft 111. This central angle can be denoted as the second central angle. The first and second central angles are the same and coincident. Setting the shapes of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 to be arc-shaped can better match the rotor assembly and the stator assembly, helping to generate a more uniform magnetic field distribution, thereby reducing vibration and noise caused by non-uniform magnetic fields.

[0086] refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the air gap width between the first arc of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 and the end of the stator core 121 facing the magnetic component 112 is denoted as d. The value of d ranges from 0.15 mm to 0.5 mm. This can avoid problems such as frictional wear or jamming and reduced magnetic flux efficiency due to magnetic saturation caused by an excessively small air gap width. It can also avoid problems such as excessive magnetic resistance, significant decrease in magnetic flux and insufficient output torque caused by an excessively large air gap width.

[0087] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the rotor assembly includes a rotor core 113, and a drive shaft 111 is configured to pass through the rotor core 113; a mounting groove is provided on the outside of the rotor core 113, and a magnetic component 112 is configured to be assembled in the mounting groove.

[0088] Specifically, the drive shaft 111 passes through the rotor core 113. The outer circumferential surface of the rotor core 113 is provided with axially evenly distributed mounting grooves. The shape of the mounting grooves matches the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122. The first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 are at least partially disposed in the corresponding mounting grooves. The sidewalls of the mounting grooves apply radial constraints to the magnetic components 112 to prevent the magnets from shifting or falling off due to centrifugal force or inertia during reciprocating oscillation. Furthermore, the number and spacing of the mounting grooves can match the distribution position of the stator core 121 to improve motion efficiency.

[0089] Furthermore, in the existing structure, the swing angle of the rotor assembly is limited by the inherent pole width of the stator assembly. When the magnet swings to the edge, the alignment angle between the magnet and the stator core 121 is insufficient, resulting in a decrease in magnetic flux and unstable output torque. Based on this, reference... Figures 9 to 12In this embodiment, the stator assembly further includes magnetically conductive portions spaced circumferentially from the stator core 121. These magnetically conductive portions extend radially toward the magnetic element 112 from the stator core 121 and are configured to engage with the magnetic element 112. The magnetically conductive portions receive magnetic flux conducted by the stator core 121. When at least a portion of the magnetic element 112 engages with the magnetically conductive portions, magnetic flux is formed between the magnetic element 112 and the magnetically conductive portions. In this embodiment, the magnetically conductive portions can be made of a high-conductivity material and extend radially toward the magnetic element 112 from the stator core 121, forming a magnetic pole region directly aligned with the magnetic element 112, thereby expanding the effective coupling area between the magnetic element 112 and the stator core 121.

[0090] When the magnetic component 112 swings, the magnetic guide can extend the magnetic flux path from the main body area of ​​the stator core 121 to a larger range, thereby maintaining the continuity of magnetic flux within a larger angle range, improving the stability of the output torque of the drive assembly 1, and increasing the swing angle of the magnetic component 112, thereby increasing the swing angle of the cleaning assembly 2, thus enhancing the overall stability and flexibility of the cleaning equipment.

[0091] The magnetic conductor includes a first magnetic conductor 1231 located on one side of the stator core 121 and used to cooperate with a first magnet 1121, and a second magnetic conductor 1232 located on the other side of the stator core 121 and used to cooperate with a second magnet 1122.

[0092] In actual operation, when the excitation winding 122 is energized and generates a magnetic field, the magnetic field drives the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 to oscillate. During this process, when the first magnet 1121 moves closer to the first magnetic conductor 1231, the second magnet 1122 moves away from the second magnetic conductor 1232 until it reaches another equilibrium position. For example, driven by the magnetic field generated by the energized excitation winding 122, the first magnet 1121 (with the outer N pole) moves closer to the first magnetic conductor 1231 (with the S pole) due to the attractive force, while the second magnet 1122 (with the outer S pole) moves away from the second magnetic conductor 1232 (with the N pole) due to the repulsive force, forming a directional oscillation of the rotor assembly. When the direction of the magnetic field changes periodically (e.g., the current reverses), the polarity of the magnetic conductors reverses, driving the magnets to move in the opposite direction, thereby achieving reciprocating oscillation. By continuously overlapping the magnetic component 112 and the magnetic conductive part on the radial projection of the stator core 121, the magnetic flux path remains continuous, reducing magnetic resistance and leakage magnetic field, ensuring stable electromagnetic torque output, supporting large-angle oscillation and improving energy efficiency, and is suitable for scenarios such as electric toothbrushes that require efficient and stable vibration.

[0093] The specific work process is as follows:

[0094] When the drive assembly 1 is energized, the power supply assembly 3 excites the excitation winding 122 via an electrical signal, forming a closed magnetic circuit inside the stator core 121. The alternating magnetic field generated by the excitation winding 122 has a periodically changing magnetic pole direction. Specifically, when a positive current is applied to the excitation winding 122, the end of the stator core 121 exhibits N-pole magnetism; when the current direction is reversed, the magnetic pole synchronously switches to S-pole. The first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122, which cooperate with it, are respectively fixedly provided with opposite permanent magnet polarities, wherein the outer end of the first magnet 1121 is an N-pole permanent magnet, and the outer end of the second magnet 1122 is an S-pole permanent magnet (or vice versa).

[0095] During the electromagnetic drive phase, when the excitation winding 122 of the stator core 121 is excited to the N pole, the magnetic field it generates repulsively interacts with the N pole of the first magnet 1121 and attracts the S pole of the second magnet 1122, forming a combined torque that causes the rotor to rotate clockwise. When the rotor rotates to a certain angle, the repulsive force between the first magnet 1121 and the stator core 121 weakens, and the first magnet 1121 attracts the first magnetic conductor 1231, driving the first magnet 1121 to continue deflecting. When the current direction is reversed, causing the stator core 121 to become the S pole, the magnetic field attracts the N pole of the first magnet 1121 and repulses the S pole of the second magnet 1122, forming a counterclockwise rotational torque. When the rotor rotates to a certain angle, the repulsive force between the second magnet 1122 and the stator core 121 weakens, and the second magnet 1122 attracts the second magnetic conductor 1232, continuing to deflect. By continuously switching the direction of the excitation current, the drive shaft 111 performs stable reciprocating motion within the set swing angle range.

[0096] refer to Figure 10 , Figure 12 In the plane containing the rotation axis of the rotor assembly, at least one plane is a plane of symmetry, defining an X-axis located in the plane of symmetry and perpendicular to the rotation axis; at least one pair of stator cores 121 are constructed to be symmetrically distributed with respect to the X-axis. The symmetrical arrangement of the stator cores 121 ensures symmetrical distribution of magnetic poles, so that the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 are subjected to symmetrical magnetic forces during oscillation in both directions, avoiding torque fluctuations caused by uneven magnetic resistance.

[0097] refer to Figure 10 , Figure 12 The angle between the centerline of the first magnetic conductor 1231 and the X-axis, and the angle between the centerline of the second magnetic conductor 1232 and the X-axis are denoted as γ, and the value of γ ranges from 10° to 40°.

[0098] If γ < 10°, the magnetic flux path coverage is insufficient, the electromagnetic torque range is reduced, and large-angle oscillation cannot be supported. If γ > 40°, the winding space of the stator core 121 will be limited, making the manufacturing process difficult. In addition, the cogging torque will increase significantly, leading to aggravated torque fluctuations at low-frequency output, causing abnormal vibration or noise. Based on this, the value of γ is in the range of 10° to 40°. The tilt angles of the first magnetic conductor 1231 and the second magnetic conductor 1232 are moderate, which can leave sufficient winding space, avoid insufficient winding spacing or difficulties in coil arrangement, and ensure the process stability of mass production. It can also reduce the interference of cogging torque on low-frequency operation, reduce torque fluctuations caused by sudden changes in magnetic reluctance, and improve the stability of low-frequency output.

[0099] In this embodiment, γ and β satisfy the following relationship: 0.125 ≤ γ / β ≤ 0.89. By limiting the ratio of γ to β, the distribution density of magnetic flux in the magnetic conductor can be balanced, local magnetic saturation can be avoided, the continuity and closure of the magnetic field path can be ensured, leakage magnetic phenomena can be reduced, and energy transfer efficiency can be improved. In addition, the constraint relationship of γ / β makes the coupling between the magnetic conductor and the magnet smoother during rotation, reduces torque fluctuations caused by sudden changes in magnetic reluctance, reduces vibration and noise caused by magnetic field asymmetry, and improves the operational stability of the cleaning equipment.

[0100] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this disclosure, γ and β satisfy the following relationship: 0.22 ≤ γ / β ≤ 0.5. Further limiting the ratio of γ to β strengthens the closure of the magnetic field path, effectively reducing ineffective leakage flux and improving energy conversion efficiency. The narrowed range of γ / β makes the coupling transition between the magnetic conductor and the magnet smoother during rotation, reducing the periodic fluctuations of the reluctance torque, thereby reducing mechanical vibration and noise.

[0101] In a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotor assembly, a Y-axis is defined that is perpendicular to the X-axis and lies in the same plane. The first magnetic conductor 1231 and the second magnetic conductor 1232 are constructed to be symmetrically distributed with respect to the Y-axis. The symmetrical arrangement of the magnetic conductors along the Y-axis balances the magnetic flux conduction path in the direction perpendicular to the X-axis, preventing the magnetic field from generating asymmetrical components in the radial plane of the rotor and avoiding lateral torque caused by magnetic flux skew. The symmetrical magnetic conductors synchronously adjust the direction of magnetic flux conduction when the magnetic field switches (e.g., when the excitation current reverses, the polarity of the magnetic poles on both sides of the Y-axis reverses simultaneously), ensuring that the magnetic field energy is uniformly released in the spatial dimension and eliminating driving force pulsations caused by timing differences. In addition, the magnetic conductors form a uniform magnetic pole spacing in the circumferential direction, optimizing the magnetic field distribution gradient, avoiding local magnetic saturation or leakage magnetic concentration, and improving the overall magnetic field utilization rate.

[0102] refer to Figure 10 , Figure 12The angle between the center line of the first magnet 1121 and the X-axis is denoted as Ω, where the value of Ω ranges from 45° to 50°; the angle between the center line of the second magnet 1122 and the X-axis is denoted as Ω, where the value of Ω ranges from 45° to 50°.

[0103] In this embodiment, the centerlines of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 can be symmetrically distributed on both sides of the X-axis at the same angle to form a mirror-symmetric magnetic field. This symmetrical angle reduces the risk of eccentric vibration in the rotor assembly and improves the stability of the drive assembly 1. Setting the value of Ω to a range of 45° to 50° allows the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 1121, the second magnet 1122, and the stator core 121 to effectively drive the reciprocating motion, while avoiding mechanical jamming or frictional losses caused by excessive magnetic attraction. Furthermore, it ensures that the magnetic field switching is perfectly matched to the phase of the mechanical reciprocating motion, improving energy utilization.

[0104] Similarly, refer to Figure 10 , Figure 12 To further optimize the synergistic effect between the magnetic field and the drive assembly 1, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the angle between the line segment from the outermost edge of the stator core 121 to the center of the rotor assembly and the X-axis is denoted as φ, where the value of φ ranges from 40° to 55°. This ensures that the outermost edge of the stator core 121 covers the maximum effective operating range required by the rotor assembly, guaranteeing that the magnetic field remains closed through the stator core 121 during pole switching, reducing edge leakage magnetic field, and improving electromagnetic efficiency.

[0105] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the rotor assembly has a balanced position that engages with the stator core 121 and an unbalanced position that deviates from the stator core 121; in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, with the rotation center of the rotor assembly as the projection center, the magnetic element 112 is configured to deflect by a predetermined angle and move so that its central projection in its radial direction toward the projection center at least partially overlaps with the magnetic conductive portion.

[0106] In the equilibrium position, the rotor assembly is aligned with the stator core 121, the magnetic flux path is optimized, and the electromagnetic torque reaches its maximum value. At this time, the pole faces (such as the S or N poles) of the magnetic element 112 are completely aligned with the magnetic conductive part of the stator core 121, ensuring maximum transmission of magnetic flux. When the rotor assembly is subjected to external forces (such as current driving the excitation winding 122 to generate a magnetic field), the rotor assembly will deviate from its equilibrium position and enter an unbalanced state. In this state, the pole faces of the magnetic element 112 are no longer completely aligned with the stator core 121, resulting in a discontinuous magnetic flux path, increased magnetic reluctance, and decreased electromagnetic torque. This process is the critical stage for the rotor assembly to transition from one equilibrium position to another.

[0107] In a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis, the rotation center of the rotor assembly is used as the projection center. When the magnetic element 112 deflects at a predetermined angle, it moves towards the magnetic conductor, causing the center projection of the magnetic element 112 to at least partially overlap with the magnetic conductor. This ensures that even in an unbalanced position, the magnetic element 112 maintains a certain degree of magnetic flux path connection, thereby maintaining a certain electromagnetic torque output.

[0108] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the ends of the first magnetic conductor 1231 and the second magnetic conductor 1232 facing the magnetic component 112 are constructed as arc surfaces. The curvature of the arc surface can be matched and aligned with the first arc surface of the magnetic component 112, ensuring a more uniform distribution of the magnetic field between the magnetic conductor and the magnetic component 112, thereby improving the magnetic flux density and torque output.

[0109] In one embodiment of this disclosure, two stator cores 121 are provided, and the two stator cores 121 are configured to be symmetrically distributed; two magnetic elements 112 are provided, each magnetic element 112 corresponding to one stator core 121. For example, if the first magnetic element 112 is an N pole, the corresponding first stator core 121 is an S pole; if the second magnetic element 112 is an S pole, the corresponding second stator core 121 is an N pole, ensuring that the magnetic flux path is completely symmetrical on both sides and reducing magnetic reluctance differences. The symmetrical magnetic pole distribution can reduce torque fluctuations caused by stator and rotor magnetic pole misalignment (cogging effect), especially during low-speed or low-frequency operation, resulting in a smoother output.

[0110] Considering the mechanical structural stability of the drive component, in this embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 The stator assembly includes an annular base 124, with the stator core 121 and the magnetic conductive part both constructed to extend radially from the inner side of the annular base 124 toward the rotor assembly. The annular configuration of the annular base 124 provides a stable mechanical support platform for the stator core 121 and the magnetic conductive part, ensuring the uniform distribution of each stator core 121 along the circumferential direction and precise alignment with the magnetic components 112, thereby maintaining the symmetry of the magnetic field distribution. In this embodiment, the annular base 124 itself can be made of a highly permeable material or integrate magnetic conductive channels, effectively collecting and conducting the magnetic flux generated by the stator core 121 to the magnetic conductive part, forming a closed magnetic circuit, reducing leakage magnetic loss, and improving magnetic field utilization. Its annular heat dissipation surface is also more conducive to the uniform diffusion of heat from the drive assembly 1. This not only enhances the magnetic field driving performance but also allows the stator assembly to have a compact spatial layout, which is beneficial for the miniaturization and weight reduction of cleaning equipment.

[0111] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the end of the magnetic guide facing the rotor assembly is configured as an arc shape. The arc-shaped profile is highly matched with the motion trajectory of the magnetic component 112, effectively shortening the air gap length and expanding the effective magnetic pole contact area, thereby reducing magnetic resistance, enhancing magnetic flux density, and enabling magnetic field energy to be transferred to the rotor more efficiently, thus improving the response speed and output torque of the reciprocating drive.

[0112] In one embodiment of this disclosure, when the rotor assembly is in the balanced position, at least a portion of the magnetic element 112 cooperates with the magnetic conductive part to form a magnetic flux, and when the rotor assembly is in the unbalanced position, at least a portion of the magnetic element 112 cooperates with the magnetic conductive part to form a magnetic flux.

[0113] When the rotor assembly is in the equilibrium position, the excitation winding 122 is energized to form a static magnetic flux coupling between the magnetic conductor and the magnetic component 112, providing a preload for the reverse driving force. When the excitation current reverses and triggers a reversal of the magnetic field polarity, the magnetic component 112 is pulled away from the equilibrium position by a directional magnetic pull. During the motion, the magnetic flux path dynamically switches with the angle of the rotor assembly. The alternating coupling between the magnetic conductor and the magnetic component 112 maintains a continuous driving torque, driving the magnetic component 112 to accelerate to its maximum angular velocity. When approaching the reverse equilibrium position, the magnetic drag torque cancels out the inertial kinetic energy to achieve deceleration and return to the original position. At the same time, the excitation current reverses again, achieving dead-zone-free reverse drive through full-domain magnetic flux coverage. Based on this, magnetic flux coupling between the magnetic component 112 and the magnetic conductor exists at any position of the rotor assembly, ensuring uninterrupted transmission of magnetic field energy throughout the motion, avoiding driving force fluctuations or energy losses caused by momentary disconnection of the magnetic circuit, and significantly improving the continuity and energy efficiency of reciprocating motion.

[0114] In order to improve the speed of magnetic field response, in one embodiment of this disclosure, at least one first magnetic conductor 1121 is provided, and at least one first magnetic conductor 1121 and stator core 121 are spaced apart along a first circumferential direction; at least one second magnetic conductor 1122 is provided, and at least one second magnetic conductor 1122 and stator core 121 are spaced apart along a second circumferential direction; the first circumferential direction is opposite to the second circumferential direction.

[0115] The first magnetic conductor 1121 and the second magnetic conductor 1122 are distributed in opposite directions, forming symmetrical magnetic circuit branches. This arrangement allows the rotor assembly to quickly establish a closed magnetic circuit through the corresponding magnetic conductors during reciprocating rotation, regardless of the direction of movement (e.g., the first magnetic conductor 1121 is preferentially coupled during clockwise rotation, and the second magnetic conductor 1122 is coupled during counterclockwise rotation), reducing the path length for magnetic flux switching, lowering reluctance loss, and improving the magnetic field response speed. When the magnetic component 112 moves, its coupling degree with the magnetic conductors in different directions exhibits a gradient difference with the angle. For example, during clockwise rotation, the magnetic flux coupling with the first magnetic conductor 1121 gradually increases, while that with the second magnetic conductor 1122 gradually decreases, forming a directional change in magnetic reluctance. This gradient characteristic allows for precise control of the rotor's acceleration and deceleration processes during reciprocating motion, avoiding dead zones and improving drive stability. In addition, at the moment of reversal of the magnetic component 112 (such as from clockwise to counterclockwise), the first magnetic conductor 1121 and the second magnetic conductor 1122 alternately dominate the conduction of magnetic flux to achieve a smooth transition of the magnetic field direction, forming a "relay" effect of magnetic field switching, reducing the reversal impact force, and reducing vibration and noise.

[0116] Considering user experience, the operating frequency range of the drive component 1 is set from 100 Hz to 180 Hz. Existing conventional electric toothbrushes vibrate at 260 Hz; therefore, the operating frequency of the drive component 1 in this embodiment is relatively low. Firstly, using a low-frequency drive effectively avoids mechanical resonance phenomena that may be caused by vibration, significantly improving the smoothness of rotation and preventing jerking. Secondly, while ensuring cleaning efficiency, it keeps the mechanical impact load within the safe range of the gum tolerance threshold, reducing damage to the user's gums and improving the user experience.

[0117] The unidirectional rotation angle of conventional electric toothbrushes is 5° to 6°. In this embodiment, by optimizing the structure of the drive component 1, the unidirectional rotation angle range of the drive shaft 111 relative to the stator core 121 is controlled within 0° to 30°. The drive component 1 achieves large swing angle vibration. Within this angle range, the cleaning area can be increased without damaging the gums.

[0118] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The cleaning device also includes a transmission assembly 4. One end of the transmission assembly 4 is releasably connected to the cleaning assembly 2, and the other end is connected to the fluid flow channel of the drive shaft 111. Specifically, one end of the transmission assembly 4 can be releasably connected to the cleaning assembly 2 via a snap-fit ​​or magnetic adsorption interface, and the other end can be connected to the fluid flow channel of the drive shaft 111. The drive shaft 111 inputs energy to the transmission assembly 4, causing the transmission assembly 4 to oscillate, which in turn drives the cleaning assembly 2 to oscillate. The cleaning fluid enters the transmission assembly 4 through the fluid flow channel and is output from the cleaning assembly 2, acting on the tooth surface to achieve a combined rinsing and brushing function. In this embodiment, the cleaning device can be an electric toothbrush, and the cleaning assembly 2 can be the brush head of the electric toothbrush. The drive shaft 111 and the electric toothbrush brush head are releasably connected to facilitate regular brush head replacement by the user, improving user convenience.

[0119] In another embodiment of this disclosure, a driving component 1 is provided.

[0120] refer to Figure 3 The drive assembly 1 may include a rotor assembly, a stator assembly, and a drive housing 18, wherein the drive housing 18 is used to house the rotor assembly and the stator assembly, and the stator assembly is coaxially fitted with the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly is used to convert electromagnetic energy into mechanical kinetic energy, and the stator assembly is used to establish a controllable electromagnetic field system.

[0121] The stator assembly includes at least one pair of magnetizable stator cores 121 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and each stator core 121 is provided with an excitation winding 122, which is configured to generate an alternating magnetic field when energized. When there are two or more stator cores 121, the stator cores 121 are usually evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotor assembly to facilitate the cyclic rotation or reciprocating oscillation of the rotor assembly.

[0122] The rotor assembly includes a drive shaft 111 with a fluid flow channel and a magnetic component 112 fixed relative to the drive shaft 111 and cooperating with the stator core 121. The drive pump 12 delivers liquid from the storage chamber 15 to the fluid flow channel. This liquid can be a cleaning solution or water. The liquid can directly act on the tooth surface, thus enabling the cleaning device to not only brush teeth with the cleaning component 2 but also rinse teeth with liquid, achieving a combined cleaning and rinsing function. The magnetic component 112 is configured to cause the rotor assembly to reciprocate angularly around its rotation axis under the drive of an alternating magnetic field. In this embodiment, the drive shaft 111 can be rotatably connected to the drive assembly 1 via a bearing or other structure, allowing the drive shaft 111 to rotate relative to the drive assembly 1.

[0123] In the stator core 121, the polarities of the magnets in all magnetic components 112 facing the stator core 121 are arranged alternately in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. By setting the alternating polarity of the magnetic components 112 along the circumference of the stator core 121, the polarity matching and switching between adjacent magnets and the stator's alternating magnetic field creates a continuous push-pull effect. Specifically, in the rotor assembly's direction of motion, adjacent magnetic components 112 can be arranged with alternating N and S poles on the stator side. When the stator magnetic field changes periodically, each magnetic component 112 is always subjected to alternating tangential magnetic force during the polarity switching, ensuring a uniform and continuous torque distribution during rotor reciprocating motion and eliminating dead zones. Simultaneously, the alternating polarity of the magnetic components 112 optimizes the magnetic field closed path, reduces leakage magnetic loss, and enhances the effective utilization rate of the magnetic field, thereby improving the response speed and energy conversion efficiency of the reciprocating motion.

[0124] like Figure 3 As shown, in the drive assembly 1, the end of the drive housing 18 is closed by the end cap 16, and the drive shaft 111 runs through both ends of the housing. The two ends are supported by a first bearing 17 and a second bearing 24, respectively. The transmission assembly 4 is connected to the drive shaft 111 via the first bearing 17, and a spring 23 is placed between them to provide preload or dampen vibration. The excitation winding 122 surrounds the drive shaft 111 and is fixed by a winding bracket 19 for support and heat dissipation. At the other end of the drive shaft 111, a magnetic sensing ring 21 is fixed to a magnetic ring seat 22 and engages with the second bearing 24 via a bushing 20 to detect position or speed signals and achieve precise alignment. All components are precisely connected to form a stable structure, ensuring that the drive assembly 1 has high rotational accuracy, low vibration, and reliable electrical performance.

[0125] Further, refer to Figures 4 to 12 The magnetic component 112 includes a first magnet 1121 and a second magnet 1122 arranged circumferentially around the drive shaft 111 and cooperating with the same stator core 121. In the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of the stator core 121, the polarities of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 facing the stator core 121 are configured to alternate sequentially. For example, in the clockwise direction, the side of the first magnet 1121 facing the stator core 121 is the N pole, and the adjacent second magnet 1122 is the S pole. If multiple pairs of magnets are provided, all magnets are arranged alternately according to this pattern. Taking two pairs of magnets as an example, a polarity sequence of "NSNS" is formed.

[0126] The specific work process is as follows:

[0127] During the electromagnetic drive phase, when the excitation winding 122 of the stator core 121 is excited to the N pole, the magnetic field it generates repulsively interacts with the N pole of the first magnet 1121 and attracts the S pole of the adjacent second magnet 1122. These two forces, acting in the same direction, create a clockwise combined torque, driving the rotor assembly to rotate. As the rotor rotates to a predetermined angle, the repulsive force between the first magnet 1121 and the stator core 121 naturally weakens due to the increased distance. At this point, the excitation current direction switches, and the stator magnetic field polarity reverses to the S pole. The magnetic field then attracts the N pole of the first magnet 1121 and repels the S pole of the second magnet 1122, generating a counterclockwise reverse torque that drives the rotor to swing back. By periodically switching the excitation current direction, the stator magnetic field polarity alternates, causing the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 to be alternately subjected to pushing and pulling forces, and the drive shaft 111 continuously reciprocates within a preset swing angle. In this embodiment, the drive component 1 achieves energy transfer through the matching of alternating polarity magnets and alternating magnetic fields, and through the cyclic conversion of magnetic pole repulsion and attraction, ensuring motion continuity and high response efficiency.

[0128] Furthermore, at least a portion of the radially outer ends of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 are curved bodies with opposite polarities that cooperate with the same stator core 121, and the curved bodies have an outwardly pointing first arc shape. Specifically, when the end of the first magnet 1121 facing the stator core 121 is the S pole, the end of the second magnet 1122 facing the stator core 121 is the N pole; or, when the end of the first magnet 1121 facing the stator core 121 is the N pole, the end of the second magnet 1122 facing the stator core 121 is the S pole. In this way, after the excitation winding 122 is energized to generate a magnetic field, the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 can reciprocate and rotate by a predetermined angle under the action of the magnetic field, thereby realizing the reciprocating oscillation of the drive assembly 1.

[0129] refer to Figures 5 to 12 The stator core 121 has one end close to the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122, which is engaged with the curved body and has an outwardly pointing second arc; the central angle corresponding to the second arc is denoted as θ. In this embodiment, the value of θ is in the range of 70° to 100°.

[0130] θ is the central angle of the second arc of the stator core 121, which determines the coverage angle of the magnetic field coupling region between the stator core 121 and the magnet. If θ < 70°, the second arc of the stator core 121 is too narrow, causing the magnetic flux path of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 to be suddenly interrupted when they rotate to the edge position. At this time, the alignment angle between the first magnet 1121, the second magnet 1122 and the stator core 121 is insufficient, the magnetic reluctance increases sharply, the magnetic flux drops sharply, resulting in a sharp decrease in torque output. The first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 cannot maintain a stable magnetic force within a large angle range, the torque fluctuation intensifies, the electromagnetic torque range narrows, and it is difficult to achieve large swing angle drive.

[0131] If θ > 100°, the stator arc is too wide, resulting in an excessively long alignment angle between the magnet and the stator during rotation. However, the coverage angle of the first arc of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 is insufficient. At this point, although the magnetic flux is high when the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 rotate to the middle position, the magnetic flux distribution becomes uneven near the edge of θ because the first arc of the first magnet 1121 and the second magnet 1122 cannot cover the second arc of the stator core 121. This leads to a non-uniform magnetic field distribution, characterized by "strong at the center and weak at the edges," causing torque output to fluctuate between peak and valley values ​​during rotation, making it impossible to maintain a stable large swing angle output. Therefore, controlling the value of θ to be between 70° and 100° ensures the stability of the electromagnetic torque and improves the large swing angle output capability of the drive assembly 1.

[0132] The inventors discovered during their research and development that in existing technologies, when a user applies a large load, such as vigorously brushing teeth with an electric toothbrush, the load is transmitted through the brush head to the rotor. The motor may then be unable to overcome the load, causing the rotor to stop oscillating or its oscillation angle to decrease significantly, resulting in poor cleaning performance. However, due to… Figure 13 and Figure 14It can be seen that when the driving parameters are the same (such as the same voltage), at the same frequency, as the load increases, the swing angle of the driving component 1 provided in this embodiment shows a relatively small change, rather than a sudden decrease with the increase of load, indicating that the driving component 1 in this embodiment has good load resistance. For example, under 130Hz conditions, when the load increases from 0 to 2, the swing angle increases from 14° to 15°, and then slowly decreases to 13° when the load increases to 4. The change in swing angle does not exceed 10%, which meets the swing angle requirements for oral cleaning. Similarly, under 160Hz conditions, as the load increases from 0 to 3, the swing angle continues to rise (cumulative increase of 3°). Not only does it not stop under pressure, but it can also appropriately increase the swing angle when the user applies greater force, thereby improving the cleaning power. This indicates that the driving component 1 has stronger adaptability to the increase of load. This characteristic further strengthens the advantage of the driving component 1's load resistance, that is, it can still maintain the stability of the brush head swing angle under different pressures, and can still resist the swing angle decay caused by external pressure under large loads, reducing the fluctuation of cleaning effect. Furthermore, the fluctuation in the brush head's oscillation angle is minimal under different load conditions, almost imperceptible to the user, providing a superior cleaning experience. In addition, due to... Figure 13 and Figure 14 It can be seen that the input current of drive component 1 is linearly related to the operating frequency, and the swing angle also maintains a stable linear response as the frequency changes. This linear correlation characteristic can ensure vibration stability under different operating conditions, maintain the uniformity of cleaning force, and extend the service life of drive component 1.

[0133] Figure 15 This is an experimental data distribution diagram of the current-load of the drive component 1 and the comparison motor provided in one embodiment of this disclosure. Under the same voltage conditions, the drive component 1 and the comparison motor are driven with a preset duty cycle. As the load increases along the horizontal axis, the current of the drive component 1 generally shows a significant decreasing trend with the increase of the load, indicating that its power consumption is lower and the motor efficiency is higher. This characteristic can effectively save energy, extend the battery life in applications such as electric toothbrushes, and even help to reduce the size of the product. In contrast, the current of the comparison motor is significantly higher than that of the drive component 1, and it first decreases slightly and then increases sharply with the increase of the load, resulting in a significant increase in power consumption, higher energy consumption, and lower efficiency. Under the same energy source, the drive component 1 can obviously operate for a longer time and provide a more stable swing angle.

[0134] Figure 16The diagram shows the swing angle-load test data distribution of the drive component 1 provided in one embodiment of this disclosure and the comparative motor. As the horizontal axis extends, the load increases. Using the same voltage, the swing angle of the drive component 1 changes very smoothly with increasing load at different frequencies, demonstrating excellent load resistance and stability. In contrast, the comparative motor shows a sharp drop in swing angle at different frequencies within the same load range, indicating that its performance is easily affected by load fluctuations. The stable swing angle characteristic of the drive component 1 ensures that the electric toothbrush can maintain the consistency of the brush head swing amplitude under different pressures, without erratic swinging, thereby improving cleaning effect and user experience. The comparison of the two diagrams further highlights the comprehensive advantages of the drive component 1 in terms of energy efficiency and load resistance performance in this embodiment.

[0135] Figure 17 The linear relationship between the output torque of the drive component 1 and the rotor position is shown in this embodiment, wherein the output torque is the superposition of the cogging torque (caused by the change in magnetic resistance of the drive component 1) and the electromagnetic torque. Figure 17 As can be seen, from the center position of the horizontal axis (0 point) to both sides, that is, in the first and second directions of the swing angle (angular displacement motion), the electromagnetic torque can maintain stability within a large angle range. This large angle range is at least 30° rotation in the first direction and 30° rotation in the second direction, totaling 60° in both directions. Therefore, the drive component 1 can achieve smooth output of angular displacement motion within a large angle range, and the control precision is high. Compared to the existing technology with a combined swing angle of 10° to 12° in both directions, the drive component 1 in this embodiment exhibits the advantages of a larger angle and greater stability. Within the aforementioned large angle range, the cogging torque of the drive component 1 in this embodiment increases or decreases stably with the angle change of the motor shaft rotation. Combined with the stable electromagnetic torque, this achieves stable angular displacement motion output with strong load resistance. For example, along the first direction, the cogging torque increases linearly and smoothly as the swing angle increases. Combined with the relatively stable electromagnetic torque, this achieves smooth changes in output torque, thereby achieving smooth and stable swing angle control and achieving high-precision control. The drive component 1 of this application embodiment is suitable for small devices with high requirements for vibration stability and control precision, such as electric toothbrushes. By optimizing the superposition effect of cogging torque and electromagnetic torque, operating noise can be reduced and vibration smoothness improved, thereby enhancing the user experience.
