Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral hygiene technology, and in particular to a visual electric toothbrush. Background Technology

[0002] Electric toothbrushes are becoming increasingly popular. While traditional electric toothbrushes can improve the efficiency of removing plaque and protecting teeth, incorrect brushing techniques and the inability to precisely target irregularly distributed plaque in the mouth can significantly reduce their cleaning effectiveness. The high-speed rotation and vibration of electric toothbrushes can promote blood circulation in the mouth and provide an unexpected massage effect on the gum tissue. However, when there is inflammation in the mouth, the inability to accurately observe the internal condition can easily lead to the enlargement of the wound. Therefore, real-time observation of the internal oral environment while brushing is essential.

[0003] Existing toothbrushes can achieve visual functions, but the camera is usually installed near the brush head and fixed to the same handle. When the electric toothbrush is turned on, the movement of the brush head will drive the camera to move together, causing the camera to shake significantly when taking pictures, resulting in low image clarity.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a visual electric toothbrush to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a visual electric toothbrush to solve the problem in the prior art where the camera shakes during shooting, making it impossible to capture clear images.

[0038] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] This embodiment provides a visual electric toothbrush where the camera does not shake, thus improving the clarity of the images captured by the camera.

[0040] For example, such as Figures 1-7As shown, the visualized electric toothbrush includes a handle 1, a first brush handle 2, and a second brush handle 3. Specifically, a drive component (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the handle 1. The first brush handle 2 is connected to the handle 1 and a camera 4 is installed on the first brush handle 2. The second brush handle 3 cooperates with the first brush handle 2 and a transmission component 5 is provided inside the second brush handle 3. One end of the transmission component 5 is connected to the drive component, and the other end of the transmission component 5 is connected to the brush head 6. The drive component can drive the brush head 6 to reciprocate.

[0041] Understandably, since the camera 4 is mounted on the first brush handle 2, when the drive unit is running, the camera 4 is stationary relative to the handle 1. Only the transmission component 5 and the brush head 6 are in motion relative to the handle 1, which will not affect the normal use of the camera and will prevent the camera from shaking, thus improving the clarity of the images captured by the camera 4.

[0042] It should be noted that the transmission assembly 5 can be connected to the output shaft of the drive component. The transmission assembly 5 is an existing transmission structure capable of reciprocating the rotation of the brush head 6. It is prior art and not the focus of this embodiment, so it will not be described in detail here. The drive component includes, but is not limited to, a brushed DC motor.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, camera 4 faces the side of the first brush handle 2 away from the second brush handle 3, and is oriented in the same direction as the brush head 6. In other words, the orientation of camera 4 is consistent with the direction in which the bristles are set in the bristle base of the brush head 6. When using this visual electric toothbrush, it is convenient for camera 4 to acquire images of the inside of the user's mouth. The brush head 6 includes a bristle base and bristles, which are existing technologies. The specific structure will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the brush head 6 is located at one end of the second brush handle 3, and a limiting member 31 is installed at the other end of the second brush handle 3. The limiting member 31 can abut against one end of the transmission assembly 5. It can be understood that by setting the limiting member 31, some components of the transmission assembly 5 are located between the brush head 6 and the limiting member 31. In the length direction of the second brush handle 3, the limiting member 31 can limit the movement of some components of the transmission assembly 5 located between the brush head 6 and the limiting member 31, thereby preventing the transmission assembly 5 from falling off or becoming misaligned, and improving its operational stability. In this embodiment, the limiting member 31 is in the shape of an arc-shaped plate.

[0045] For example, the visual electric toothbrush also includes a mounting bracket 21. The first brush handle 2 has a mounting channel (not shown in the figure), and the mounting bracket 21 is located at one end of the mounting channel. The camera 4 is mounted in the mounting channel. The mounting bracket 21 is used to block one end of the mounting channel and fix the camera 4. The camera 4 faces the other end of the mounting channel, that is, the side of the first brush handle 2 away from the second brush handle 3. It can be understood that by setting the mounting bracket 21, it is easier to mount the camera 4 on the first brush handle 2 and improves the stability of the camera 4, which facilitates the improvement of the clarity of the captured image.

[0046] In other embodiments, the first brush handle 2 may also have a mounting groove (not shown in the figure), within which a mounting bracket 21 is provided for mounting the camera 4, with the camera 4 facing the opening end of the mounting groove. Specifically, the opening end of the mounting groove is located on the side of the first brush handle 2 opposite to the second brush handle 3. By providing the mounting groove and mounting bracket 21, it is possible to easily mount the camera 4 onto the first brush handle 2, improving the stability of the camera 4 and facilitating the improvement of image clarity.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the visual electric toothbrush also includes a protective lens 7, which is installed on the side of the camera 4 away from the mounting bracket 21. It is understood that the protective lens 7 forms a light-transmitting area on the surface of the first brush handle 2 for the camera 4 to receive light. Without affecting the normal use of the camera 4, it can isolate the camera 4 from the outside world, ensuring the safety of the camera 4 during use.

[0048] Furthermore, a connection channel (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the first brush handle 2, and a flexible circuit board 8 is installed in the connection channel. The two ends of the flexible circuit board 8 are electrically connected to the camera 4 and the main board (not shown in the figure) in the handle 1, respectively. It can be understood that by providing a connection channel, it is convenient to install the flexible circuit board 8 in the connection channel, which facilitates the electrical connection between the camera 4 and the main board in the handle 1, without the need for additional holes on the first brush handle 2 and the handle 1, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance of the visual electric toothbrush.

[0049] It should be noted that the flexible printed circuit board 8 (FPC) is a highly reliable and extremely flexible printed circuit board made with polyimide or polyester film as the substrate. It features high wiring density, light weight, thinness, and good bendability. In this embodiment, the flexible printed circuit board 8 is used to connect the camera 4 and the motherboard, further improving the stability of the electrical connection between the camera 4 and the motherboard.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the handle 1 includes a housing 11 and a bracket 12, with the bracket 12 located inside the housing 11 and the drive unit located inside the bracket 12.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first brush handle 2 is engaged with the bracket 12. Specifically, the bracket 12 has two locking hooks 22 facing each other, and the end of the first brush handle 2 that connects to the handle 1 has two locking holes facing each other. When the first brush handle 2 and the handle 1 are connected, one locking hook 22 can be located in one locking hole, and the other locking hook 22 can be located in the other locking hole, so as to facilitate the connection between the first brush handle 2 and the handle 1. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can be used to connect the first brush handle 2 and the bracket 12 to meet the actual use requirements. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0052] Furthermore, the visual electric toothbrush also includes a seal located between the bracket 12 and the housing 11. Understandably, by providing the seal, the sealing effect between the bracket 12 and the housing 11 is improved, preventing water ingress and thus avoiding damage to the internal structure of the bracket 12.

[0053] For example, the seal is annular, and the bracket 12 is provided with an annular sealing groove 13. The seal is installed in the annular sealing groove 13, and both the annular sealing groove 13 and the housing 11 abut against the seal. It is understood that by providing an annular seal and an annular sealing groove 13, the seal is easy to install, and a seal is achieved on the internal structure in the circumferential direction of the housing 11, resulting in good sealing performance. In this embodiment, the seal includes, but is not limited to, a flexible sealing ring.

[0054] Furthermore, waterproof silicone is provided at the joint between the first brush handle 2 and the second brush handle 3. Specifically, waterproof silicone can be applied to the joint between the first brush handle 2 and the second brush handle 3. It is understood that by providing waterproof silicone, the overall waterproof effect of the electric toothbrush can be improved, and damage can be avoided when the first brush handle 2 and the second brush handle 3 are joined. In this embodiment, the waterproof silicone is existing waterproof silicone, and its specific components are prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the assembly method of the visualized electric toothbrush is as follows: first, the first brush handle 2 is installed on the bracket 12 of the handle 1, then the first brush handle 2 and the bracket 12 are inserted and fixed in the housing 11, and then the second brush handle 3 is installed on the output shaft of the drive component using the transmission component 5.

[0056] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
