Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to a high-frequency, two-degree-of-freedom sweeping motor. Background Technology

[0002] In the electric toothbrush industry, drive technology is the core element for achieving its cleaning function. Current electric toothbrushes commonly use rotary motors, magnetic levitation motors, and sonic motors as drive sources to achieve different driving modes. However, when the motor needs to perform both sweeping and telescopic movements (two degrees of freedom), the mainstream solution is to integrate two motors, one for sweeping and the other for telescopic movement. While this design achieves the desired functionality, it has several drawbacks. It not only leads to a complex overall structure, increasing manufacturing and assembly difficulties, but also significantly raises production costs. Furthermore, its structural stability is poor, making it prone to malfunctions during use.

[0003] Furthermore, a common industry practice to improve the stability between the rotating shaft and the housing is to install a sliding bearing between them. However, this method has significant limitations, severely restricting the frequency of the rotating shaft's vertical extension and retraction vibrations, failing to meet users' needs for efficient cleaning, and affecting the cleaning effect and user experience of the electric toothbrush.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the sweeping vibration assembly includes a first fixed iron core disposed within the housing, a first winding frame disposed within the first fixed iron core, and a first coil assembly disposed within the first winding frame; a first movable iron core is fixedly disposed on the inner shaft branch; a first magnet assembly is disposed on the first movable iron core; the first magnet assembly is disposed within the first coil assembly; and the first fixed iron core is disposed on top of the second fixed iron core.

[0016] The telescopic assembly includes a second fixed iron core disposed within the housing, a second winding frame disposed within the second fixed iron core, and a second coil assembly disposed within the second winding frame; a second moving iron core and a third moving iron core are fixedly disposed on the inner shaft branch; the second moving iron core is provided with a second magnet assembly; the third moving iron core is provided with a third magnet assembly; the second magnet assembly is disposed within the top of the second coil assembly; the third magnet assembly is disposed within the bottom of the second coil assembly.

When the inner shaft extends and retracts up and down, the inner shaft drives the annular fixed part to move up and down through the rotating bearing, thereby causing the annular deformation part to produce elastic deformation, which can increase the vibration frequency of the inner shaft. In addition, by reducing one sliding bearing, the production process can be optimized, the cost can be reduced, and the vibration frequency can be increased. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the following embodiments.

[0026] Depend on Figures 1 to 4As can be seen, the high vibration frequency dual-degree-of-freedom sweeping motor described in this embodiment includes a housing 1 and an inner shaft branch 2; the top of the housing 1 is provided with an upper end cover 11; the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a spring sheet assembly; the housing 1 is provided with a sweeping assembly 3 and a telescopic assembly 4 along the length direction inside the housing 1.

[0027] A sliding bearing is provided between the top of the inner shaft branch 2 and the upper end cover 11;

[0028] The spring assembly includes a spring frame 7 and spring components; the spring components include an annular positioning part 81, an annular deformation part 82, and an annular fixing part 83 arranged concentrically; the spring frame 7 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the housing 1; the annular positioning part 81 is fixedly disposed at the spring frame 7; the annular deformation part 82 is disposed within the annular positioning part 81; the annular fixing part 83 is disposed within the annular deformation part 82; a first connecting rib 84 is provided between the annular deformation part 82 and the annular positioning part 81; a second connecting rib 85 is provided between the annular deformation part 82 and the annular fixing part 83; a rotating bearing 9 is fixedly disposed within the annular fixing part 83; the bottom of the inner shaft branch 2 is fixedly disposed within the rotating bearing 9.

[0029] Specifically, the high-frequency dual-degree-of-freedom sweeping motor described in this embodiment achieves sweeping function by setting a sweeping component 3 inside the housing 1, allowing the inner shaft branch 2 to rotate left and right; secondly, by setting a telescopic component 4 inside the housing 1, allowing the inner shaft branch 2 to extend and retract up and down; furthermore, by setting a sliding bearing, the shaft branch can better achieve both left and right sweeping and up and down extension and retraction, enabling the motor to complete two-degree-of-freedom operation, extending the motor's lifespan, and enhancing its applicability; additionally, by setting a spring piece assembly at the bottom of the housing 1, when the inner shaft branch 2 rotates left and right, the rotation bearing 9 allows relative rotation between the inner shaft branch 2 and the spring piece, meaning the rotation of the inner shaft branch 2 does not cause movement of the spring piece. When the inner shaft branch 2 extends and retracts up and down, the inner shaft branch 2 drives the annular fixed part 83 to move up and down through the rotation bearing 9, causing the annular deformation part 82 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the vibration frequency of the inner shaft branch 2.

In this embodiment, the cooperation between the upper oil-blocking sleeve 63 and the upper baffle plate 61 reduces the loss of lubricating oil between the inner steel sleeve 52 and the outer steel sleeve 51, thereby improving the overall wear resistance.
