The signal is transmitted to the first receiving end 211a through the second conductor 204 and the third conductor 205, and the assembly is convenient and the structure is compact.


Referring to FIG. 7, in another embodiment of the present application, the second conductor 204 is disposed on the upper surface of the upper end platform 2031 of the inner shell 203; the third conductor 205 is strip-shaped and disposed on the outer surface of the inner shell 203, and one end of the third conductor 205 is located on the lower surface of the upper end platform 2031 of the inner shell 203; the second conductor 204 and the third conductor 205 are respectively provided with a round hole, and the screws 206 pass through the round hole of the second conductor 204, the round hole of the upper end platform 2031, and the round hole of the third conductor 205, to fixedly connect the third conductor 205, the inner shell 203, and the second conductor 204. The second conductor 204 and the third conductor 205 are electrically connected by screws 206 passing through the inner shell 203. The fixing buckle 222 of the upper cover 220 is assembled together with the engagement hole 2032 on the top edge of the inner shell 203, so that one of the elastic members 231 is connected to the second conductor 204.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 7, in another embodiment of the present application, when the holder 120 is served as the first end of the first conductive path 300, the first conductive path 300 of the inductive shaver passes through the holder 120, the head cover 110, the snap-fit member 150, the first conductor 101, the floating pressing plate 180, the floating elastic member 190, the connecting seat 170, the upper cover 220, the latch fastener 230, the elastic member 231, the second conductor 204, the screws 206, and the third conductor 205 and finally transmitted to the first receiving end 211a of the circuit board assembly 210.


When the cutters 131 are served as the first end of the first conductive path 300, the first conductive path 300 of the inductive shaver passes through the cutters 131, the holder 120, the head cover 110, the snap-fit member 150, the first conductor 101, the floating pressing plate 180, the floating elastic member 190, the connecting seat 170, the upper cover 220, the latch fastener 230, the elastic member 231, the second conductor 204, the screws 206, and the third conductor 205 and finally transmitted to the first receiving end 211a of circuit board assembly 210.


Specifically, the surfaces of the above parts are treated with a conductive coating to achieve a conductive state, and are assembled into a complete first conductive path 300 through structural cooperation between the parts.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 8, in another embodiment of the present application, the circuit board assembly 210 further includes a touch signal processor 211, the first receiving end 211a is arranged on the touch signal processor 211, and the controller 213 is electrically connected with the touch signal processor 211. The touch signal processor 211 belongs to the prior art, and the touch signal processor 211 can receive electrical signals, determine the magnitude of the capacitance change, and then output a trigger signal to the controller 213. Specifically, a touch signal processor 211 with a model of ASC8022S or BS83A02C can be used. When there is no human skin 1 approaching the holder 120 (or cutters 131), there is no capacitor Cf1 formed between the human skin 1 and the ground, only the reference capacitor Cp1 on the circuit board assembly 210; when there is human skin 1 approaching the holder 120 (or cutters 131), the first inductive capacitor Cf1 is formed between the holder 120 (or cutters 131) and the ground, the Cf1 and Cp1 are connected in parallel. Before and after the human skin 1 approaches the holder 120 (or the cutters 131), the total capacitor produces a capacitance change after entering the touch signal processor 211. This total capacitance change causes the change of the internal oscillation frequency or charging and discharging time of the touch signal processor 211, so that the touch signal processor 211 can detect the touch signal TI, and the touch signal processor 211 thus generates the trigger signal TO (touch output level signal) to the controller 213; when there is no touching or approaching, TO has no valid signal outputting. When the controller 213 detects a valid signal TO, the controller 213 outputs relevant signals to the motor 202 through an internal interrupt processing, thereby, the motor is controlled to rotate and then to rotate the rotating cutter head 132 in the cutting unit 130. The controller 213 is connected to the power source 214 to power the various devices. The power source 214 can be a battery provided within the casing 201.


Referring to FIG. 2, in another embodiment of the present application, the handle assembly 200 further includes a wake-up sensor for switching the motor 202 to a standby state. The arrangement of the wake-up sensor can avoid the situation that only the first conductive path 300 is provided and the motor 202 will be activated by mistake. When in use, the motor 202 must be in the standby state by the wake-up sensor first, and then the first conductive path 300 can realize the induction of the human skin 1 approaching the holder 120 (or the cutters 131) to activate the motor 202.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 9, in another embodiment of the present application, the casing 201 is a conductive casing; the circuit board assembly 210 is provided with a second receiving end 211b configured for receiving a second inductive capacitor Cf2 between the casing 201 and the ground (GND) when the casing 201 approaches or contacts the human skin 1′ (hand), the circuit board assembly 210 is provided with a second capacitor 215 that is electrically connected to the second receiving end 211b and configured for determining a reference capacitor Cp2; the controller 213 is also configured for controlling the motor 202 being in a standby state When the second receiving end 211b obtains the second inductive capacitor Cf2; the wake-up sensor includes a second conductive path 400, the casing 201 is served as the first end of the second conductive path 400, and the second end of the second conductive path 400 is electrically connected to the second receiving end 211b. When in used, the casing 201 of the handle assembly 200 is held by hand firstly, and due that the human skin 1′ (hand) has a certain electric charge, when the human skin 1′ directly touches or approaches the conductive casing 201, the casing 201 absorbs the human skin capacitance between the approaching or contacting position and the ground, that is, the second inductive capacitor Cf2. The second sensing capacitor Cf2 and the reference capacitor Cp2 are connected in parallel to the second receiving end 211b, and when the second receiving end 211b obtains the second inductive capacitor Cf2, the controller 213 wakes up the motor 202 to switch to the standby state. Specifically, the second receiving end 211b is provided on the above-mentioned touch signal processor 211, and the connection between the second conductive path 400, the second capacitor 215 and the second receiving end 211b is similar to that of the first conductive path 300, the first capacitor 212 and the first receiving end 211a.


Specifically, when there is no human skin 1′ (hand) approaching the casing 201, there is no second inductive capacitor Cf2 between the human skin 1′ and the ground, and only the reference capacitor Cp2 on the circuit board assembly 210; when there is human skin 1′ approaching the casing 201, the second inductive capacitor Cf2 is formed between the casing 201 and the ground. Since Cf2 and Cp2 are connected in parallel, before and after the human skin 1′ approaches the casing 201, the total capacitance produces a capacitance change after entering the second receiving end 211b. That is, the second receiving end 211b obtains the change signal of the second sensing capacitor Cf2, and at this time, the controller 213 controls the motor 202 in a standby state.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 7, in another embodiment of the present application, the handle assembly 200 further includes an inner shell 203 mounted in the casing 201 and a fourth conductor 207 mounted on the inner shell 203. One end of the fourth conductor 207 is abutted on the casing 201, and the other end is electrically connected to the second receiving end 211b. The fourth conductor 207 is configured to realize the electrical connection between the second receiving end 211b and the casing 201. After the human hand holds the casing 201, the signal of the second sensing capacitor Cf2 can be reliably transmitted to the second receiving end 211b. The fourth conductor 207 may be an elastic bending member, and one end of the bending member is abutted on the inner wall of the casing 201 to achieve stable electrical connection between the casing 201 and the fourth conductor 207. The fourth conductor 207 can be mounted on the inner shell by riveting or other mechanical connection.
