[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides an electric toothbrush handle 100, which is mainly used in an electric toothbrush 1000. The electric toothbrush handle 100 includes a housing 110, a support assembly 120, a drive component 130, and a power supply assembly 140.

[0026] The housing 110 has a receiving cavity with one end open, and the bracket assembly 120 is disposed in the receiving cavity. The bracket assembly 120 includes a first bracket 121 and a second bracket 122. The first bracket 121 has a first locking part 1211 at the end away from the opening, and the second bracket 122 has a second locking part 1221 at the end near the opening that locks into the first locking part 1211.

[0027] The end of the drive member 130 near the opening is disposed on the first bracket 121, and the end of the drive member 130 away from the opening is disposed on the second bracket 122. The power supply component 140 is disposed on the first bracket 121.

[0028] The electric toothbrush handle 100 provided in the embodiments of this application has a housing 110 with a receiving cavity open at one end. A support assembly 120 is disposed within the receiving cavity. The support assembly 120 includes a first support 121 and a second support 122. A power supply assembly 140 is disposed on the first support 121. The end of the drive member 130 near the opening is disposed on the first support 121. By disposing the end of the drive member 130 away from the opening on the second support 122, the installation stability and reliability of the drive member 130 are effectively improved under the support of the outer peripheral wall of the end of the drive member 130 away from the opening by the second support 122. This effectively improves the stability and reliability of the drive member 130 in driving the toothbrush head to operate.

[0029] Meanwhile, by providing a first engaging portion 1211 at the end of the first bracket 121 away from the opening, and providing a second engaging portion 1221 at the end of the second bracket 122 near the opening to engage with the first engaging portion 1211, the second bracket 122 is connected to the first bracket 121 as a whole under the engaging action of the first engaging portion 1211 and the second engaging portion 1221, thereby improving the overall support stability and reliability of the drive component 130.

[0030] For example, the drive component 130 can be a sweeping vibration motor, and the power supply component 140 can be composed of a secondary battery and a circuit board. The first latching part 1211 can be a buckle, and the second latching part 1221 can be a slot that latches with the buckle. Alternatively, the first latching part 1211 can be a slot, and the second latching part 1221 can be a buckle that latches with the slot.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, at least two of the first latching portion 1211 and the second latching portion 1221 are provided. Two or more of the first latching portions 1211 are spaced apart along the circumference of the first bracket 121, and two or more of the second latching portions 1221 are spaced apart along the circumference of the second bracket 122.

[0032] In this embodiment, by setting the number of both the first latching portion 1211 and the second latching portion 1221 to at least two, the two or more first latching portions 1211 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first bracket 121, and the two or more second latching portions 1221 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second bracket 122, so as to further improve the latching stability and reliability between the second bracket 122 and the first bracket 121, thereby further improving the overall support stability and reliability of the drive component 130.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the electric toothbrush handle 100 further includes a first buffer damping member 150, which is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the drive member 130 away from the opening, and the second bracket 122 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the first buffer damping member 150.

[0034] In this embodiment, by sleeved the first damping member 150 on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the drive member 130 away from the opening, and sleeved the second bracket 122 on the outer peripheral wall of the first damping member 150, the first damping member 150 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the end of the drive member 130 away from the opening and the inner peripheral wall of the second bracket 122. Thus, the first damping member 150 is used to buffer and absorb the vibration generated by the operation of the drive member 130, effectively reducing the vibration of the second bracket 122 and the housing 110, thereby reducing the vibration of the user's hand during use and improving the user experience.

[0035] For example, the first damping element 150 may be made of rubber or silicone.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the first buffer damper 150 is provided with a first buffer protrusion 151 on its outer peripheral wall, and the second bracket 122 is provided with a first avoidance groove 1222 for avoiding the first buffer protrusion 151. The first buffer protrusion 151 abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity.

[0037] In this embodiment, a first buffer protrusion 151 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first buffer damper 150, and a first clearance groove 1222 is provided on the second bracket 122 to avoid the first buffer protrusion 151, so that the first buffer protrusion 151 passes through the first clearance groove 1222 and abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity. The first buffer protrusion 151 further buffers and absorbs the vibration generated by the operation of the drive member 130, thereby further reducing the vibration of the housing 110, and further reducing the vibration of the user's hand during use, thus further improving the user experience.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, a plurality of first buffer protrusions 151 are provided, and the plurality of first buffer protrusions 151 are spaced apart along the circumference of the first buffer damping member 150.

[0039] In this embodiment, by setting the number of first buffer protrusions 151 to multiple and arranging the multiple first buffer protrusions 151 at intervals along the circumference of the first buffer damper 150, the buffer absorption effect on the vibration generated by the operation of the drive member 130 is improved, thereby further reducing the vibration of the housing 110, further reducing the vibration of the user's hand during use, and further improving the user experience.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the electric toothbrush handle 100 further includes a second buffer damping member 160, which is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the drive member 130 near the opening, and the first bracket 121 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the second buffer damping member 160.

[0041] In this embodiment, by sleeved the second damping member 160 on the outer peripheral wall of the drive member 130 near the opening, and sleeved the first bracket 121 on the outer peripheral wall of the second damping member 160, the second damping member 160 abuts between the outer peripheral wall of the drive member 130 near the opening and the inner peripheral wall of the first bracket 121. This allows the second damping member 160 to buffer and absorb the vibration generated by the operation of the drive member 130, effectively reducing the vibration experienced by the first bracket 121 and the housing 110, thereby reducing the vibration experienced by the user's hand during use and improving the user experience.

[0042] For example, the material of the second damping element 160 can be rubber or silicone.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiment of this application, the second buffer damper 160 is provided with a second buffer protrusion 161 on its outer peripheral wall, and the second bracket 122 is provided with a second avoidance groove 1212 for avoiding the second buffer protrusion 161. The second buffer protrusion 161 abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity.

[0044] In this embodiment, a second buffer protrusion 161 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the second buffer damper 160, and a second clearance groove 1212 is provided on the first bracket 121 to avoid the second buffer protrusion 161, so that the second buffer protrusion 161 passes through the second clearance groove 1212 and abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity. The second buffer protrusion 161 further buffers and absorbs the vibration generated by the operation of the drive member 130, thereby further reducing the vibration of the housing 110, and further reducing the vibration of the user's hand during use, thus further improving the user experience.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, a plurality of second buffer protrusions 161 are provided, and the plurality of second buffer protrusions 161 are spaced apart along the circumference of the second buffer damper 160.

[0046] In this embodiment, by setting the number of second buffer protrusions 161 to multiple and arranging the multiple second buffer protrusions 161 at intervals along the circumference of the second buffer damper 160, the buffer absorption effect on the vibration generated by the operation of the drive member 130 is improved, thereby further reducing the vibration of the housing 110, further reducing the vibration of the user's hand during use, and further improving the user experience.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides an electric toothbrush 1000, including the electric toothbrush handle 100 described in the above embodiments.

[0048] The electric toothbrush 1000 has the electric toothbrush handle 100 of any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the electric toothbrush handle 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0049] In summary, this application proposes an electric toothbrush handle 100. The housing 110 has a receiving cavity with an opening at one end. A support assembly 120 is disposed within the receiving cavity. The support assembly 120 includes a first support 121 and a second support 122. A power supply assembly 140 is disposed on the first support 121. The end of the drive member 130 closest to the opening is disposed on the first support 121. By disposing the end of the drive member 130 furthest from the opening on the second support 122, the installation stability and reliability of the drive member 130 are effectively improved by the support of the outer peripheral wall of the second support 122 on the end of the drive member 130 furthest from the opening. This effectively improves the stability and reliability of the drive member 130 in driving the toothbrush head. Meanwhile, by providing a first engaging portion 1211 at the end of the first bracket 121 away from the opening, and providing a second engaging portion 1221 at the end of the second bracket 122 near the opening to engage with the first engaging portion 1211, the second bracket 122 is connected to the first bracket 121 as a whole under the engaging action of the first engaging portion 1211 and the second engaging portion 1221, thereby improving the overall support stability and reliability of the drive component 130.
