[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof in the embodiments and drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0026] It will be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., used herein may be used herein to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first preset duration may be referred to as a second preset duration, and similarly, a second preset duration may be referred to as a first preset duration. Both the first preset duration and the second preset duration are preset durations, but they are not the same preset duration. The term "plurality" used herein refers to two or more.

[0027] Oral care devices typically have multiple operating modes, each with different operating parameters, resulting in different oral care outcomes. For example, an electric toothbrush typically offers various brushing modes, including whitening, cleaning, and soothing. Each mode varies in parameters such as vibration frequency and force.

[0028] In the related art, in order to allow users to better adapt to the cleaning intensity of the oral care device during the process of using the oral care device for oral care, a parameter gradual increase operation will be performed when the oral care device starts working. The parameter gradual increase operation refers to gradually increasing the working parameters of the oral care device from low to high within a certain period of time (such as 3 seconds, etc.) until the working parameters set by the current working mode of the oral care device are reached. During the process of gradually increasing the working parameters, the user can determine whether the cleaning intensity of the oral care device is appropriate, and can gradually adapt to the current working mode of the oral care device. This can avoid the oral care device directly working with larger working parameters, which will stimulate the inside of the mouth (such as teeth, gums, etc.), thereby improving the comfort of the user when using the oral care device.

[0029] However, since the cleaning intensity of the oral care device increases from weak to strong during the parameter ramp-up operation, the cleaning efficiency will be lower than the cleaning efficiency of the device operating directly according to the working parameters set in the current operating mode. When the user uses the oral care device and briefly starts and stops it multiple times (that is, the oral care device stops working and then starts working again within a short period of time), each startup triggers the parameter ramp-up operation, which affects the overall cleaning efficiency and shortens the battery life of the oral care device. For devices such as water flossers, it will also cause problems such as waste of cleaning fluid.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application disclose a control method, device, oral care device, and storage medium for oral care equipment, which can avoid the situation where the working state of the oral care equipment stops working and is reset when it starts working in a short time, thereby ensuring the care effect of the oral care equipment on the user's oral cavity, improving the intelligence of the oral care equipment, and saving the power consumption of the oral care equipment.

[0031] Figure 1 is an application scenario diagram of a control method for an oral care device in one embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the control method for an oral care device disclosed in an embodiment of the present application can be applied to an oral care device 100, which may include but is not limited to an electric toothbrush, an oral irrigator, etc.

[0032] In some embodiments, the oral care device 100 may include a care piece 110 and a handle 120, and the care piece 110 is detachably connected to the handle 120. Taking the oral care device 100 as an electric toothbrush as an example, the care piece may be a brush head, which is composed of a brush rod and bristles.

[0033] The oral care device 100 may further include a processor, which may be used to control the operation of the oral care device 100 , such as controlling the working mode and working parameters of the oral care device 100 .

[0034] In some embodiments, a motor may be provided in the handle 120 of the oral care device 100. During the operation of the oral care device 100, the processor may control the motor operating parameters of the motor, and the motor may operate according to the motor operating parameters configured by the processor, thereby driving the care part 110 to move to realize the oral care function of the oral care device 100.

[0035] In some embodiments, a trigger 122 may be provided on the handle 120 of the oral care device 100. The trigger 122 may include, but is not limited to, a multi-segment button, a pressure sensor, a light detection element, etc. The user can control the oral care device 100 to work or stop working by triggering the trigger 122.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, if a stop signal is detected during the operation of the oral care device 100, the oral care device 100 can control the oral care device 100 to stop working according to the stop signal and save the corresponding working status information when the oral care device 100 stops working. If the oral care device 100 detects a start signal within a first preset time period, the oral care device 100 responds to the response information and controls the oral care device 100 to operate according to the saved working status information.

[0037] As shown in FIG2 , in one embodiment, a control method for an oral care device is provided, which can be applied to the above-mentioned oral care device. The method may include the following steps:

[0038] Step 210: If a stop signal is detected during the operation of the oral care device, the oral care device is controlled to stop operating according to the stop signal.

[0039] The oral care device being in operation may refer to the oral care device being in an operating state. In this operating state, the oral care device can perform oral care operations on the user's oral cavity. For example, if the oral care device is a toothbrush, the toothbrush can perform a teeth brushing operation on the user's oral cavity when in operation. Furthermore, during the operation of the oral care device, a motor in the oral care device may be in an operating state. The oral care device may control the operation of the motor according to motor operating parameters to drive the care components of the oral care device to move, thereby performing oral care operations on the user's oral cavity.

[0040] The stop signal may refer to a signal for triggering the oral care device to stop working. In some embodiments, when the oral care device detects a stop operation, a stop signal may be generated. The stop operation may include, but is not limited to, one or more of an operation on a trigger on the oral care device, a gesture operation, an operation to change the posture of the oral care device, etc., wherein the operation on the trigger on the oral care device may include, but is not limited to, any one of an operation of pressing a stop button on the oral care device (a button for controlling the oral care device to stop running), an operation of continuously pressing and then releasing a work button (a button for controlling the oral care device to work), and an operation of pressing the work button twice.

[0041] As an embodiment, when the trigger on the oral care device is in a triggered state, the oral care device is controlled to work, and if it is detected that the trigger is released, it is determined that a stop working signal is detected. The trigger state of the trigger may refer to a state in which the trigger is triggered. Different types of triggers may have different corresponding trigger states. For example, the trigger may be a button, and the trigger state may be a pressed state of the button; the trigger may be a pressure sensing element, and the trigger state may be a state in which the touch pressure is detected and the touch pressure is greater than a certain pressure threshold; the trigger may be a light detection element, and the trigger state may be a state in which the light detection element detects the target light, or a state in which the light detection element detects being blocked. The release of the trigger may be understood as the trigger is not in a triggered state. For example, the button changes from a pressed state to a released state, and the pressure sensing element cannot detect the touch pressure.

[0042] When the oral care device detects that the trigger is in the triggered state, it can control the oral care device to operate. When the oral care device detects that the trigger is released, it can determine that a stop signal has been detected and control the oral care device to stop operating. The user can flexibly and accurately control the oral care device to operate / stop using the trigger, which improves the simplicity of control and enhances the human-computer interaction effect of the oral care device.

[0043] Step 220: Save the corresponding working status information when the oral care device stops working.

[0044] The oral care device can obtain the corresponding working status information when it stops working, and save the corresponding working status information when it stops working.

[0045] In some embodiments, the operating status information corresponding to when the oral care device stops working may include: the first operating mode and first operating parameter corresponding to when the oral care device stops working. The oral care device may be pre-configured with multiple operating modes, and different operating modes achieve different oral care effects. Taking the oral care device as an example, the toothbrush may be pre-configured with multiple brushing modes such as a cleaning mode, a whitening mode, and a gentle mode. The user may select any of these brushing modes according to their needs. The oral care device may operate in the brushing mode selected by the user and perform brushing operations according to the brushing mode selected by the user.

[0046] The various working modes pre-configured for the oral care device may have corresponding target working parameters. In some embodiments, the working parameters may include but are not limited to motor operating parameters, working time, etc., wherein the motor operating parameters may include but are not limited to parameters such as the vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, duty cycle, and swing angle of the motor, wherein the vibration frequency may refer to the number of times the motor vibrates per unit time, the vibration amplitude may refer to the amplitude corresponding to each vibration of the motor, the duty cycle may refer to the proportion of the motor working per unit time, and the swing angle refers to the angle corresponding to the motor swinging. The target working parameters may include but are not limited to target motor operating parameters, total working time, etc., wherein the total working time may refer to the total time the oral care device needs to work. The target working parameters corresponding to different working modes are usually different, so that different oral care effects can be achieved.

[0047] The target operating parameters corresponding to an operating mode can be understood as the theoretical operating parameters of the oral care device when operating in that operating mode. However, during the actual operation of the oral care device, the actual operating parameters of the oral care device may differ from the target operating parameters. For example, the user may actively adjust the operating parameters during the operation of the oral care device, or the oral care device may first perform a parameter ramp-up operation when entering the operating mode. During this parameter ramp-up operation, the actual operating parameters of the oral care device may also differ from the target operating parameters. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, after the oral care device stops operating, it can obtain the first operating mode and first operating parameters corresponding to the time of stopping operation, and save the first operating mode and first operating parameters corresponding to the time of stopping operation.

[0048] Step 230: If a start-up operation signal is detected within the first preset time period, the oral care device is controlled to operate according to the operation status information in response to the start-up operation signal.

[0049] The start-up work signal may refer to a signal used to trigger the oral care device to start working. In some embodiments, when the oral care device detects an operating operation, a start-up work signal may be generated. The operating operation may include but is not limited to one or more of an operation on a touch piece on the oral care device, a gesture operation, an operation to change the posture of the oral care device, etc. The operating operation and the above-mentioned stop operation may be different operations, or may be the same operation, for example, both are pressing operations on the touch piece. Among them, the operation on the touch piece on the oral care device may include but is not limited to the operation of pressing a working button, the operation of continuously pressing a working button on the oral care device, etc. As an embodiment, when the oral care device detects that the touch piece is in a triggered state, it can be determined that the start-up work signal is detected.

[0050] The oral care device can determine whether it has detected a start-up signal within a first preset duration. This first preset duration can be configured based on actual needs, such as, but not limited to, 5 seconds, 3 seconds, or 6 seconds. If the oral care device detects a start-up signal within the first preset duration, indicating that the previous inactivity was brief, a temporary pause, the device can retrieve the stored operating status information corresponding to the time the oral care device stopped operating and control the oral care device to operate based on this operating status information. This prevents the oral care device from resetting its operating status when it stops and then starts operating again within a short period of time.

[0051] In some embodiments, the operating status information corresponding to when the oral care device stops operating includes: a first operating mode and first operating parameters corresponding to when the oral care device stops operating. If the oral care device detects a start-up operating signal within a first preset time period, the oral care device may respond to the start-up operating signal and control the oral care device to operate according to the first operating mode and first operating parameters.

[0052] Optionally, if the first operating parameter is different from the target operating parameter corresponding to the first operating mode, the first operating parameter may be an operating parameter adjusted by the user during the previous operation of the oral care device, and the oral care device may operate directly with the first operating parameter.

[0053] Optionally, in the case where the first working mode is a working mode that requires a parameter gradual increase operation, if the first working parameter is different from the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode, the first working parameter may be a working parameter during the oral care device's parameter gradual increase operation. Then, after the oral-controlled care device is restarted, during the operation of the oral care device, it can be gradually adjusted from the first working parameter to the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode, and operate with the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode. After the oral-controlled care device is restarted, the previously unfinished parameter gradual increase operation continues to be executed to improve the user's adaptability to the operation of the oral care device and improve the comfort of the oral care device.

[0054] Optionally, if the first working parameter is the same as the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode, the oral care device can directly operate with the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode after restarting. This can avoid the oral care device restarting after a short period of suspension and then re-executing the parameter gradual increase operation, which affects the cleaning and care efficiency of the oral care device and improves the battery life of the oral care device.

[0055] In some embodiments, if the oral care device fails to detect a start-up signal within a first preset time period, the stored first operating parameters may be deleted. If the oral care device fails to detect a start-up signal within the first preset time period, indicating that the oral care device has been inactive for an extended period, the operating parameters of the oral care device may be reset. Consequently, the stored first operating parameters may be deleted, leaving only the stored first operating mode. This conserves storage space for the oral care device, and deleting the stored first operating parameters prevents the first operating parameters from affecting the operation of the oral care device after the device is restarted, thereby ensuring accurate operation of the oral care device.

[0056] If the oral care device detects a start-up signal after a first preset duration, the device responds to the start-up signal and operates according to the first operating mode. Optionally, some of the multiple operating modes pre-configured in the oral care device may require a parameter ramp-up operation, such as the gentle mode and soothing mode of a toothbrush, which have a weaker cleaning intensity and less brushing force, and therefore do not require a parameter ramp-up operation. If the first operating mode does not require a parameter ramp-up operation, the oral care device may operate directly with the target operating parameters corresponding to the first operating mode.

[0057] Optionally, when the first working mode is a working mode that requires a parameter gradual increase operation, the oral care device can perform a parameter gradual increase operation. During the operation of the oral care device, the initial working parameter can be gradually increased to the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode, and the device can operate at the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode. The initial working parameter can be a pre-set smaller working parameter. When the oral care device operates at the initial working parameter, there is no stimulation or minimal stimulation to the inside of the oral cavity. The initial working parameter can be smaller than the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode. Optionally, a uniform initial working parameter can be set for each working mode, or different initial working parameters can be set. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0058] When the oral care device stops working for a long time and then restarts, the oral care device re-executes the parameter gradual increase operation, allowing the user to gradually adapt to the first working mode again. This can avoid the oral care device directly operating with the target working parameters corresponding to the first working mode, causing stimulation to the inside of the mouth (such as teeth, gums, etc.), thereby improving the user's comfort in using the oral care device.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, when the oral care device stops working, the corresponding working status information will be saved. If it is restarted to work within a short period of time, it will work based on the working status information saved when it stopped working. This can avoid the situation where the working status is reset when the oral care device stops working and then starts working within a short period of time, thereby ensuring the care effect of the oral care device on the user's oral cavity, improving the intelligence of the oral care device, and saving the power consumption of the oral care device.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first operating mode may be an operating mode requiring a parameter gradual increase operation, the first operating parameter may include a first motor operating parameter, and the target operating parameter corresponding to the first operating mode may include a target motor operating parameter corresponding to the first operating mode. As shown in FIG3 , a control method for an oral care device is provided, which may be applied to the above-mentioned oral care device, and the method may include the following steps:

[0061] Step 302: If a stop signal is detected during the operation of the oral care device, the oral care device is controlled to stop operating according to the stop signal.

[0062] Step 304 : Save the first working mode and first working parameters corresponding to when the oral care device stops working, where the first working parameters include first motor operating parameters.

[0063] For the description of steps 302 to 304 , reference may be made to the relevant description in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] Optionally, the first motor operating parameters may include but are not limited to one or more of a first vibration frequency, a first vibration amplitude, a first duty cycle, and a first swing angle corresponding to when the oral care device stops working.

[0065] Step 306: If a start-up signal is detected within the first preset time period, in response to the start-up signal, the motor in the oral care device is controlled to start operating according to the first motor operating parameters.

[0066] If the oral care device detects a start-up signal within the first preset time period, it means that the previous time of stopping work was short, which was a short pause. The oral care device can respond to the start-up signal, obtain the stored first motor operating parameters, and control the motor to start working according to the first motor operating parameters.

[0067] In step 308, when the first motor operating parameters are different from the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode, the motor operating parameters of the control motor are gradually adjusted from the first motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode, and the motor is controlled to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode.

[0068] When the first working mode is a working mode that requires a parameter gradual increase operation, the motor can determine whether the first motor operating parameter is the same as the target motor operating parameter corresponding to the first working mode. If the stored first motor operating parameter is different from the target motor operating parameter corresponding to the first working mode, it can be said that the first motor operating parameter is the motor operating parameter during the oral care device performing the parameter gradual increase operation. That is to say, the oral care device stops working during the process of performing the parameter gradual increase operation. When it stops working, the parameter gradual increase operation has not been completed. Therefore, the stored first motor operating parameter is the motor operating parameter during the process of performing the parameter gradual increase operation.

[0069] Since the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode has not been fully executed, the parameter gradual increase operation can be continued after the oral care device stops working for a short time and restarts. The oral care device can control the motor operating parameters of the motor to gradually adjust from the first motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode, and control the motor to work according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode. This allows the user to gradually adapt to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode, and gradually adapt to the oral cleaning and care intensity of the first working mode, which can avoid irritation to the oral cavity and improve the user experience. Moreover, after the oral care device stops working for a short time and restarts, it gradually adjusts from the saved first motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode, and continues the previously unfinished parameter gradual increase operation. It will not re-execute the parameter gradual increase operation, nor will it directly skip the parameter gradual increase operation and work with the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode. At the same time, it takes into account the user's comfort and the battery life of the oral care device, and avoids unnecessary power consumption loss of the oral care device.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first working parameter may also include a first working time when the oral care device stops working. The first working time may be the time from when the oral care device starts running the first working mode to when it stops working. The oral care device can determine whether the first working time is less than a second preset time. The second preset time may refer to the time required to perform the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode. The second preset time can be configured according to actual needs, such as 3 seconds, 4 seconds, etc. The second preset time corresponding to different working modes may be the same or different, and is not limited here. If the first working time is less than the second preset time, it means that the oral care device stopped working during the execution of the parameter gradual increase operation, and when it stopped working, the parameter gradual increase operation had not yet been completed.

[0071] Since the parameter fading operation corresponding to the first operating mode has not yet been fully executed, the parameter fading operation can be continued after the oral care device briefly stops and then restarts. If the first operating time is less than the second preset time, the oral care device can control the motor operating parameters of the motor to gradually adjust from the first motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first operating mode within the target time, and control the motor to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first operating mode.

[0072] The target duration can be the difference between the second preset duration and the first working duration. For example, if the second preset duration is 3 seconds and the first working duration is 1 second, it means that the oral care device stops working when the parameter gradual increase operation reaches 1 second. After the oral care device briefly stops working and restarts, it can continue to perform the subsequent parameter gradual increase operation for 2 seconds, and within 2 seconds, the motor operating parameters of the motor are gradually adjusted from the first motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode, that is, the parameter gradual increase operation is completed, and the motor is controlled to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode. By saving the first working duration corresponding to when the oral care device stops working, it is possible to accurately determine whether the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode has been completed. If the parameter gradual increase operation is not completed, the oral care device can continue the previously unfinished parameter gradual increase operation after briefly stopping working and restarting working, and the duration of the entire parameter gradual increase operation process can be guaranteed to be the second preset duration, without being affected by the intermediate pause. At the same time, it takes into account the user's comfort and the battery life of the oral care device, thereby improving control accuracy.

[0073] In some embodiments, if the first working time is greater than or equal to the second preset time, it means that the oral care device has completed the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode when it stops working. Then, after the oral care device stops working for a short time and restarts working, the motor can be controlled to work directly according to the first motor operating parameters, and there is no need to repeat the parameter gradual increase operation, so as to avoid repeated parameter gradual increase operations during a short pause, which affects the oral cleaning and care efficiency of the oral care device and increases the power consumption loss of the oral care device.

[0074] Step 310 : When the first motor operating parameter is the same as the target motor operating parameter corresponding to the first operating mode, control the motor in the oral care device to operate according to the first motor operating parameter.

[0075] In the case where the first working mode is a working mode that requires a parameter gradual increase operation, if the oral care device determines that the stored first motor operating parameter is the same as the target motor operating parameter corresponding to the first working mode, it means that the oral care device has completed the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode when it stops working. Then, after the oral care device stops working for a short time and restarts working, the motor can be controlled to work directly according to the first motor operating parameter, and there is no need to repeat the parameter gradual increase operation, so as to avoid repeated parameter gradual increase operations during a short pause, which affects the oral cleaning and care efficiency of the oral care device and increases the power consumption loss of the oral care device.

[0076] Step 312: If the start-up operation signal is not detected within the first preset time period, the saved first operation parameter is deleted.

[0077] If the oral care device does not detect a start-up signal within the first preset time, it means that the oral care device has stopped working for a short time, and the saved first working parameters can be deleted, such as the saved first motor operating parameters, first working time and other information.

[0078] Step 314: If a start-up working signal is detected when the first preset time period has passed, the motor operating parameters of the motor are controlled in response to the start-up working signal, and gradually increase from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode within the second preset time period, and the motor is controlled to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode.

[0079] If the oral care device detects a start-up signal after exceeding the first preset time, it can respond to the start-up signal and control the oral care device to re-operate in the first working mode. In the case that the first working mode is a working mode that requires a parameter gradual increase operation, the motor can be controlled to start working with the initial motor operating parameters, and the motor operating parameters of the motor can be controlled to gradually increase from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode within a second preset time. In the case that the oral care device stops working for a long time, the oral care device re-executes the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode, so that the user can re-adapt to the oral cleaning and care intensity of the first working mode, and avoid the oral care device directly operating with the target working parameters corresponding to the first working mode, which will cause irritation to the inside of the oral cavity (such as teeth, gums, etc.).

[0080] Optionally, the same initial motor operating parameters may be set for different operating modes, and the initial motor operating parameters may be smaller than target operating parameters corresponding to each operating mode requiring parameter gradual increase operation.

[0081] Optionally, corresponding initial motor operating parameters can be set for different working modes, and the initial motor operating parameters corresponding to different working modes may be different. The initial motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode are smaller than the target operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode. As a specific embodiment, a parameter range corresponding to the initial motor operating parameters can be set. For working modes with larger target operating parameters, a larger initial motor operating parameter in the parameter range can be selected. For working modes with smaller target operating parameters, a smaller initial motor operating parameter in the parameter range can be selected. That is, the larger the target operating parameter corresponding to the working mode, the larger the corresponding initial motor operating parameter can be set, which can better allow the user to adapt to the oral cleaning and care intensity of the first working mode, and the set initial motor operating parameters need to fall within the parameter range, so as to avoid the situation where the set initial motor operating parameters are too large and cause irritation to the user's mouth.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, when the oral care device stops working, the corresponding first working mode and first working parameters will be saved. The first working parameters may include first motor operating parameters. If it is restarted to work within a short period of time, the motor can be controlled to start working with the first motor operating parameters saved when it stops working, and it is determined whether the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode has been completed. If the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode has not been completed, the previously unfinished parameter gradual increase operation will continue to be executed, so that the user can re-adapt to the oral cleaning and care intensity of the first working mode, thereby improving the user's comfort. If the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode has been completed, the parameter gradual increase operation will not be repeated, which can improve the oral cleaning and care efficiency of the oral care device and ensure the battery life of the oral care device.

[0083] As shown in FIG4 , in one embodiment, the control method of the oral care device may further include the following steps:

[0084] Step 402: If a mode switching instruction is received, determine the second working mode after switching.

[0085] During the operation of the oral care device, that is, during the operation of the first operating mode of the oral care device, the user can switch the operating mode of the oral care device. If the oral care device receives a mode switching instruction, it can determine the second operating mode after the switch. When the oral care device detects a mode switching operation, it can determine that a mode switching instruction has been received. Optionally, the mode switching operation may include but is not limited to the user triggering a mode switching button on the oral care device, the user switching the mode through voice instructions, the user performing a set mode switching gesture on the oral care device (such as a gesture such as quickly shaking the oral care device twice), etc.

[0086] Step 404 , controlling the motor operating parameters of the motor to gradually increase from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode within a second preset time period, and controlling the motor to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode.

[0087] After determining the second working mode after switching, the oral care device can operate in the second working mode. In some embodiments, the oral care device can determine whether the second working mode is a working mode that requires a parameter gradual increase operation. If the second working mode is a working mode that requires a parameter gradual increase operation, the motor can be controlled to start working according to the initial motor working parameters, and the motor operating parameters of the motor can be controlled to gradually increase from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode within a second preset time length, and then the motor can be controlled to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode. When the oral care device switches to the second working mode, the oral care device can perform the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the second working mode, so that the user can gradually adapt to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode, so that the user can gradually adapt to the oral cleaning and care intensity of the second working mode, avoid irritation to the user's mouth, and improve the comfort of use of the oral care device.

[0088] In some embodiments, the oral care device can determine whether the working intensity of the second working mode is greater than the working intensity of the first working mode. If the working intensity of the second working mode is greater than the working intensity of the first working mode, the motor operating parameters of the motor can be controlled to gradually increase from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode within a second preset time period. If the working intensity of the second working mode is less than the working intensity of the first working mode, the motor can be controlled to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode.

[0089] The working intensity of a working mode can be determined based on a target working parameter corresponding to the working mode. The larger the target working parameter corresponding to the working mode, the greater the working intensity of the working mode. The oral care device can determine whether the target working parameter corresponding to the second working mode is greater than the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode. If the target working parameter corresponding to the second working mode is greater than the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode, it can be determined that the working intensity of the second working mode is greater than the working intensity of the first working mode; if the target working parameter corresponding to the second working mode is less than the target working parameter corresponding to the first working mode, it can be determined that the working intensity of the second working mode is less than the working intensity of the first working mode.

[0090] As a specific embodiment, the target operating parameters may include target motor operating parameters, such as one or more of a target vibration frequency, a target vibration amplitude, a target duty cycle, and a target swing angle. It can be determined whether the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second operating mode are greater than the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first operating mode. If the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second operating mode are greater than the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first operating mode, it can be determined that the working intensity of the second operating mode is greater than the working intensity of the first operating mode; if the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second operating mode are less than the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first operating mode, it can be determined that the working intensity of the second operating mode is less than the working intensity of the first operating mode.

[0091] For example, if the target vibration frequency corresponding to the second working mode is greater than the target vibration frequency corresponding to the first working mode, and / or the target vibration amplitude corresponding to the second working mode is greater than the target vibration amplitude corresponding to the first working mode, and / or the target duty cycle corresponding to the second working mode is greater than the target duty cycle corresponding to the first working mode, and / or the target swing angle corresponding to the second working mode is greater than the target swing angle corresponding to the first working mode, then it can be determined that the working intensity of the second working mode is greater than the working intensity of the first working mode.

[0092] When the working intensity of the second working mode is greater than that of the first working mode, if the oral care device directly controls the motor to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode, it may irritate the user's mouth and affect the user's experience. Therefore, when the working intensity of the second working mode is greater than that of the first working mode, the oral care device can perform a parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the second working mode, and can control the motor operating parameters of the motor to start working with the initial motor operating parameters, and gradually increase from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode within a second preset time length, and then control the motor to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode. This can avoid irritation to the user's mouth and improve the user's comfort.

[0093] Optionally, since the oral care device runs in the first working mode before switching modes, the initial motor operating parameters can be adjusted to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode. After switching to the second working mode, the motor operating parameters of the motor can be controlled to gradually increase from the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode. This can avoid directly controlling the motor to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode, which may cause irritation to the user's mouth, and can also avoid the sudden reduction of the motor operating parameters of the motor causing discomfort to the user, thereby further improving the user's comfort.

[0094] When the working intensity of the second working mode is less than that of the first working mode, since the working intensity of the oral care device in the first working mode is higher, after switching from the first working mode to the second working mode, directly operating the target working parameters corresponding to the second working mode will not irritate the user's mouth. Therefore, when the working intensity of the second working mode is less than that of the first working mode, the motor can be controlled to directly operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode, without performing the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the second working mode. This can improve the oral cleaning and care efficiency of the oral care device, reduce power consumption loss, and increase the battery life of the oral care device.

[0095] In some embodiments, if a stop signal is detected during operation of the oral care device, the oral care device is controlled to stop according to the stop signal, and the oral care device can save the corresponding operating status information when the device stopped. If the oral care device detects a start signal within a first preset time period and receives a mode switch instruction, the oral care device can delete the saved operating status information and, in response to the start signal, enter the switched second operating mode.

[0096] If the oral care device stops working for a short time and then restarts, and starts a working mode different from the previous working mode, for example, changing from the first working mode to the second working mode, the oral care device can delete the saved working status information, saving the storage space of the oral care device, and avoiding the oral care device from accurately executing the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the second working mode, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the oral care device.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, when the oral care device switches modes, regardless of whether the oral care device stops working temporarily, the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the second working mode after switching can be executed, so that the user can gradually adapt to the oral cleaning and care intensity of the second working mode, avoid irritation to the user's mouth, and improve the comfort of using the oral care device.

[0098] As shown in FIG5 , in another embodiment, a control method for an oral care device is provided, which can be applied to the above-mentioned oral care device. The method may include the following steps:

[0099] Step 502: In response to the first trigger signal continuously sent by the trigger member, control the oral care device to operate; the first trigger signal is sent by the trigger member when the trigger information meets the first trigger condition.

[0100] Step 504: If it is detected that the first trigger signal is interrupted, it is determined that a stop working signal is detected.

[0101] When the user wants to use the oral care device to perform oral care operations, the triggering element on the oral care device can be triggered by a corresponding triggering operation. At this time, the triggering element can obtain the corresponding triggering information and send a corresponding triggering signal.

[0102] The first trigger signal may be issued by the trigger element when the trigger information satisfies the first trigger condition. In some embodiments, the first trigger condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0103] (1) The first key stroke of the actuator is triggered.

[0104] Optionally, the trigger member may include, but is not limited to, a multi-segment key, the multi-segment key including at least a first key travel segment and a second key travel segment, and the trigger information includes the triggered key travel segment. When the user triggers the first key travel segment by pressing or other operation, the trigger member may obtain trigger information indicating that the first key travel segment has been triggered, and it may be considered that the trigger information satisfies a first trigger condition, and the trigger member will emit a first trigger signal.

[0105] (2) The actuating pressure of the actuating member is within the first pressure range.

[0106] Optionally, the above-mentioned triggering member may include, but is not limited to, a pressure sensing member, and the above-mentioned triggering information includes the triggering pressure exerted on the triggering member. When the user triggers the triggering member, the pressure sensing member (touch member) can detect the triggering pressure applied by the user to the touch member. The first pressure range may include: the triggering pressure is less than the preset pressure. If the triggering pressure is less than the preset pressure, that is, when the user presses the touch member with a smaller force, it can be considered that the triggering information meets the first triggering condition, and the touch member will send a first triggering signal. The above-mentioned preset pressure may be, but is not limited to, 0.16N, 0.15N, etc.

[0107] (3) The deformation amount of the triggering member is within the first deformation amount range.

[0108] Optionally, the above-mentioned trigger may include, but is not limited to, a light detection element, and the above-mentioned trigger information includes the deformation amount corresponding to the trigger. When the user triggers the trigger, the light detection element (touch) can detect the deformation amount generated after the touch is triggered. The first deformation amount range may include a deformation amount greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold. If the deformation amount is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, that is, the trigger information meets the first trigger condition, it can be considered that the user wants to trigger the touch and wants the trigger to send a first trigger signal, then the touch will send a first trigger signal. The above-mentioned first threshold is greater than 0, and the above-mentioned second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

[0109] Step 506: Control the oral care device to stop working according to the stop working signal.

[0110] Step 508: Save the corresponding working status information when the oral care device stops working.

[0111] Step 510: If a first trigger signal from a trigger element is detected within a first preset time period, it is determined that a start-up operation signal is detected.

[0112] Step 512: respond to the start-up work signal and control the oral care device to work according to the work status information.

[0113] If the oral care device detects the first trigger signal from the trigger member after it stops working, it is determined that a start-up signal has been detected, and the oral care device can be controlled to restart. When the oral care device detects the first trigger signal from the trigger member, it can determine whether the first trigger signal from the trigger member is detected within a first preset time period after the device stops working.

[0114] If the first trigger signal from the trigger member is detected within a first preset time period after the device stops operating, and the trigger member continues to emit the first trigger signal, the oral care device can be controlled to operate according to the stored first operating mode and first operating parameters. If the first trigger signal from the trigger member is detected after the first preset time period has expired, and the trigger member continues to emit the first trigger signal, the oral care device can be controlled to operate according to the stored first operating mode.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, after the trigger member sends a first trigger signal, the oral care device can respond to the first trigger signal to control the operation of the oral care device, and after the first trigger signal is interrupted, that is, after the user releases the trigger operation of the trigger member, the oral care device will be controlled to stop working, so that when the user feels that the oral care force or intensity is inappropriate, the oral care device can be quickly stopped by promptly interrupting the trigger action of the trigger member, avoiding the problem that when the oral care force or intensity is too large, the user has no time to react and needs to trigger the trigger member for a long time or multiple times or trigger other trigger members again to stop the operation of the oral care device, causing long-term damage to the user's oral cavity, reducing the time of damage to the oral cavity due to excessive oral care force or intensity, and improving the safety of oral care during the use of oral care equipment.

[0116] As shown in FIG6 , in another embodiment, a control method for an oral care device is provided, which can be applied to the above-mentioned oral care device. The method may include the following steps:

[0117] Step 602: In response to the first trigger signal continuously sent by the trigger member, control the oral care device to operate; the first trigger signal is sent by the trigger member when the trigger information meets the first trigger condition.

[0118] Step 604: If it is detected that the first trigger signal is interrupted, it is determined that a stop working signal is detected.

[0119] The description of steps 602 to 604 may refer to the relevant description in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0120] Step 606 , in response to the second trigger signal sent by the trigger element, control the oral care device to operate and maintain; the first trigger signal is sent by the trigger element when the trigger information meets the second trigger condition.

[0121] Step 608: If a third trigger signal generated by a trigger action is detected, it is determined that a stop working signal is detected. The third trigger signal is generated by the trigger element when the trigger signal satisfies a third trigger condition.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present application, the triggering member may generate different trigger signals according to the triggering conditions satisfied by the triggering information. When the triggering information satisfies the second triggering condition, the triggering member may emit a second triggering signal. In some embodiments, the second triggering condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0123] (1) The second key travel of the actuator is triggered.

[0124] Optionally, the trigger member includes a multi-segment key that includes at least a first key travel and a second key travel. When the trigger information includes the triggered key travel, if the user triggers the second key travel by, but not limited to, pressing, the trigger member can obtain trigger information indicating that the second key travel has been triggered. In this case, it can be considered that the trigger information no longer meets the first trigger condition, but meets the second trigger condition, and the trigger member will emit a second trigger signal. This embodiment of the present application can achieve simple and effective control of the oral care device using a multi-segment key, avoiding the control errors or complex operation problems that are easily caused by using a single button to control the oral care device.

[0125] (2) The actuating pressure of the actuating member is within the second pressure range.

[0126] Optionally, the trigger element may include a pressure sensor, and the trigger information may include the trigger pressure applied to the trigger element. The second pressure range may include a trigger pressure greater than or equal to a preset pressure. If the trigger pressure is greater than or equal to the preset pressure, i.e., if the user presses the trigger element with greater force, the trigger information may be deemed to no longer satisfy the first trigger condition but instead satisfy the second trigger condition, and the trigger element will emit a second trigger signal. This embodiment of the present application allows for simple and effective control of the oral care device directly through the pressure sensor, avoiding the control errors and complex operation that can easily occur when using a single button to control the oral care device.

[0127] (3) The deformation amount of the triggering member is within the second deformation amount range.

[0128] Optionally, the trigger member includes a light detection element, the trigger information includes a corresponding deformation of the trigger member, and the second deformation range may include a deformation greater than or equal to a second threshold. If the deformation is greater than or equal to the second threshold, it can be considered that the user has increased the triggering operation of the trigger member, that is, the trigger information no longer meets the first trigger condition but meets the second trigger condition, and the trigger member will emit a corresponding second trigger signal. This embodiment of the present application can achieve simple and effective control of the oral care device directly through the light detection element, avoiding the control errors and complex operation problems that are easily caused by using a single button to control the oral care device.

[0129] After the trigger member sends a second trigger signal, the oral care device can respond to the second trigger signal to control the oral care device to operate and maintain. Therefore, when the user feels that the oral care force or intensity is appropriate, they can directly trigger the trigger member to send the second trigger signal to maintain the current operation of the oral care device. This ensures that when the oral care force or intensity is appropriate, the oral care device can maintain the oral care operation at the appropriate oral care force or intensity even if the user does not trigger the trigger member, thereby improving the simplicity, effectiveness, and accuracy of oral care device control.

[0130] Furthermore, in order to ensure the simplicity of control of the oral care device, the trigger information that meets the above-mentioned first trigger condition and the above-mentioned second trigger condition should be obtained by the same trigger member, so as to ensure that when the oral care force or intensity is inappropriate, the user can promptly interrupt the triggering action of the trigger member to control the oral care device to stop working quickly, avoiding the problem that when the oral care force or intensity is too high, the user has no time to react and needs to trigger the trigger member for a long time or multiple times or trigger other trigger members again to stop the operation of the oral care device, causing long-term damage to the user's mouth, and reducing the time of damage to the oral cavity due to excessive oral care force or intensity.

[0131] After the oral care device responds to the second trigger signal, controls the oral care device to work and maintain, if the trigger information meets the third trigger condition, for example, the third trigger condition includes but is not limited to the trigger pressure corresponding to the trigger member being greater than or equal to the preset pressure again or the deformation amount being greater than or equal to the second threshold again or the second segment button in the multi-segment button being triggered again, etc., the trigger member will send a third trigger signal.

[0132] After the triggering member sends the third triggering signal, the oral care device may determine that a stop-operation signal is detected, and in response to the third triggering signal, control the oral care device to stop operating.

[0133] Step 610: Control the oral care device to stop working according to the stop working signal.

[0134] Step 612: Save the corresponding working status information when the oral care device stops working.

[0135] Step 614: If the first trigger signal or the second trigger signal emitted by the triggering member is detected within the first preset time period, it is determined that the start-up operation signal is detected.

[0136] Step 616: respond to the start-up work signal and control the oral care device to work according to the work status information.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present application, the user can perform different trigger operations on the trigger member according to the actual use of the oral care device. The trigger member can generate a corresponding trigger signal based on the detected trigger information, thereby controlling the oral care device to work / stop working, thereby improving the simplicity, effectiveness and accuracy of the control of the oral care device and improving the ease of operation.

[0138] As shown in FIG. 7 , in one embodiment, a control device 700 for an oral care device is provided, which can be applied to the above-mentioned oral care device. The control device 700 for the oral care device may include a control module 710 and a storage module 720 .

[0143] In one embodiment, the control device 700 of the oral care device further includes a deletion module.

[0144] The deletion module is configured to delete the saved first working parameter if no start-up working signal is detected within a first preset time period.

[0145] In one embodiment, the control module 710 is further configured to control the oral care device to operate according to the first operating mode in response to a start-up operating signal if a start-up operating signal is detected after a first preset time period has elapsed.

[0146] In an embodiment of the present application, when the oral care device stops working, the corresponding working status information will be saved. If it is restarted to work within a short period of time, it will work based on the working status information saved when it stopped working. This can avoid the situation where the working status is reset when the oral care device stops working and then starts working within a short period of time, thereby ensuring the care effect of the oral care device on the user's oral cavity, improving the intelligence of the oral care device, and saving the power consumption of the oral care device.

[0147] In one embodiment, the first operating parameter includes a first motor operating parameter when the oral care device stops working.

[0149] In one embodiment, the control module 710 is further configured to respond to the start working signal if a start working signal is detected within a first preset time period, and control the motor in the oral care device to operate according to the first motor operating parameters when the first motor operating parameters are the same as the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode.

[0150] In one embodiment, the first operating parameter includes a first motor operating parameter and a first operating time when the oral care device stops working.

[0151] The control module 710 is also configured to respond to the start-up signal and control the motor in the oral care device to start working according to the first motor operating parameters if a start-up signal is detected within a first preset time; if the first working time is less than the second preset time, control the motor operating parameters of the motor to gradually adjust from the first motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode within the target time, and control the motor to work according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode; the target time is the difference between the second preset time and the first working time.

[0152] In one embodiment, the control module 710 is further configured to respond to the start-up working signal if a start-up working signal is detected within a first preset time period, and to control the motor to operate according to the first motor operating parameters if the first working time period is greater than or equal to the second preset time period.

[0153] In one embodiment, the control module 710 is further configured to respond to the start-up working signal if a start-up working signal is detected after exceeding the first preset time, control the motor operating parameters of the motor, gradually increase from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode within a second preset time, and control the motor to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the first working mode.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, when the oral care device stops working, the corresponding first working mode and first working parameters will be saved. The first working parameters may include first motor operating parameters. If it is restarted to work within a short period of time, the motor can be controlled to start working with the first motor operating parameters saved when it stops working, and it is determined whether the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode has been completed. If the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode has not been completed, the previously unfinished parameter gradual increase operation will continue to be executed, so that the user can re-adapt to the oral cleaning and care intensity of the first working mode, thereby improving the user's comfort. If the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the first working mode has been completed, the parameter gradual increase operation will not be repeated, which can improve the oral cleaning and care efficiency of the oral care device and ensure the battery life of the oral care device.

[0155] In one embodiment, the control device 700 of the oral care device further includes a switching module.

[0156] The switching module is configured to determine the second working mode after switching if a mode switching instruction is received.

[0157] The control module 710 is also configured to control the motor operating parameters of the motor, gradually increase them from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode within a second preset time period, and control the motor to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode.

[0158] In one embodiment, the control module 710 is also configured to control the motor operating parameters of the motor to gradually increase from the initial motor operating parameters to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode within a second preset time period when the working intensity of the second working mode is greater than the working intensity of the first working mode.

[0159] In one embodiment, the control module 710 is further configured to control the motor to operate according to the target motor operating parameters corresponding to the second working mode when the working intensity of the second working mode is less than the working intensity of the first working mode.

[0160] In an embodiment of the present application, when the oral care device switches modes, regardless of whether the oral care device stops working temporarily, the parameter gradual increase operation corresponding to the second working mode after switching can be executed, so that the user can gradually adapt to the oral cleaning and care intensity of the second working mode, avoid irritation to the user's mouth, and improve the comfort of using the oral care device.

[0161] In one embodiment, the control device 700 of the oral care device further includes a signal detection module.

[0162] The control module 710 is further configured to control the oral care device to operate in response to a first trigger signal continuously emitted by the trigger member; the first trigger signal is emitted by the trigger member when the trigger information meets a first trigger condition.

[0163] The signal detection module is configured to determine that a stop working signal is detected if it is detected that the first trigger signal is interrupted.

[0164] The signal detection module is further configured to determine that a start-up operation signal is detected if a first trigger signal emitted by the triggering member is detected within a first preset time period.
