[0002] With the rapid advancement of science and technology, people's living standards have gradually improved, and more and more automated equipment has been integrated into people's lives. Electric toothbrushes have also been widely accepted by people because of their better cleaning intensity.
[0003] The mainstream electric toothbrushes on the market now mostly use small-angle reciprocating motion motors as the mainstream solution. As the core component of the electric toothbrush, the motor has a huge impact on the function of the electric toothbrush. As customers' requirements for products increase, the single swinging toothbrush motor can no longer meet customers' multi-scenario and multi-style needs.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a multi-directional motion motor to meet customer needs. During the actual development process, it was found that the multi-directional motion motor using powder metallurgy sliding bearings will inevitably have a certain degree of offset in the actual assembly, causing the motor rotor to be attracted by the stator core and deviate to one side. This will greatly increase the positive pressure of the shaft on the powder metallurgy sliding bearing, resulting in a large friction between the motor shaft and the sliding bearing, which greatly reduces the performance of the multi-directional motion motor.
