Electric toothbrush and start-stop control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an electric toothbrush and a start-stop control method thereof. The electric toothbrush comprises: a body, a vibration motor, which is arranged in the body; a brush head, whichis arranged on the vibration motor and moves under the driving of the vibration motor; a pressure sensor, which is arranged on the vibration motor and used for collecting a value of real-time pressureborne by the brush head; and a main control unit, which is used for controlling the starting or stopping of the electric toothbrush according to the real-time pressure value acquired by the pressuresensor. When a user presses the brush head against teeth and prepares to start brushing the teeth, the brush head receives counter-acting force of the teeth, and the main control unit controls the electric toothbrush to be started or stopped according to the real-time pressure value collected by the pressure sensor; and therefore, the electric toothbrush can be controlled to be started or stoppedwithout a physical key, convenience in use can be improved, user experience can be enhanced, and the waterproof performance of the electric toothbrush can be optimized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oral care equipment and consumer electronics, relates to an electric toothbrush and a control method for the electric toothbrush, in particular to an electric toothbrush capable of controlling start and stop without setting physical buttons and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The electric toothbrush first appeared in the 1950s. Through the rapid rotation or vibration of the vibrating motor, the brush head is driven to generate high-frequency vibrations, which instantly breaks down the toothpaste into fine foam and cleans the teeth deeply. At the same time, the vibration of the bristles on the brush head can promote blood circulation in the oral cavity and have a massage effect on the gum tissue. Because the cleaning effect of electric toothbrush is far better than traditional toothbrush, therefore, electric toothbrush has obtained more and more extensive application in recent years...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

There is no doubt that the use of physical buttons to control the start and stop of the electric toothbrush can realize the basic functions of the electric toothbrush, but its convenience is not enough to improve the user experience

At the same time, from a structural point of view, the existence of physical buttons weakens the integrity and sealing of electric toothbrushes, and puts forward higher requirements for the waterproof performance of electric toothbrushes
