As shown in
Meanwhile, the main control module 101 further generates the control signal according to the oral data; as the tooth-brushing behavior information of the user can be comprehensively analyzed and obtained through the oral data, the main control module 101 generates the control signal after processing and analyzing the oral data, wherein the control signal includes all pieces of tooth-brushing behavior information and state data of the user.
The brush head module 102 is connected to the main control module 101, the brush head module 102 detects a type characteristic of a brush head selected by the user to obtain the brush head type, and uploads the brush head type to the main control module 101, the main control module 101 transmits the control signal to the brush head module 102, and the brush head module 102 obtains a brush head indication signal according to the control signal; optionally, the type characteristic of the brush head includes a model identifier of the brush head. The brush head type may be obtained according to the model identifier. In addition, a physical structure, a manufacturing material, a service life, a user's tooth-brushing mode, a user's tooth-brushing force, a user's tooth-brushing duration and so on may also be included.
It should be noted that, as the user uses the same toothbrush to brush teeth in a certain period of time, with the increase of the tooth-brushing time of the user, the brush head of the toothbrush is also damaged to a certain extent and a large number of harmful bacteria are also aggregated, thereby damaging the oral health of the user; during practical application, the normal service life of a toothbrush is 90 days if effective tooth-brushing is carried out twice every day; if the type characteristics of the brush head selected by the user are different, the service life of the brush head, the bristle type, the bristle characteristic and the physical structure of the brush head and so on are quite different, therefore the brush head module 102 obtains the brush head type by detecting the type of the brush head selected by the user, and the brush head usage situation of the user can be comprehensively detected through the brush head type; when the main control module 101 uploads the brush head type to the main control module 101, the main control module 101 analyzes to obtain the brush head usage information of the smart toothbrush selected by the user according to the brush head type, wherein the brush head usage information includes, but is not limited to, whether the service life of the brush head used by the user has expired, and the control signal is generated thereby; when the main control module 101 transmits the control signal to the brush head module 102, the brush head module 102 obtains the brush head indication signal according to the control signal, then the control circuit 10 reminds the user to change the brush head in time through voice broadcasting, vibration, light and other manners according to the brush head indication signal; and if the brush head used by the user exceeds the service life of the brush head, the control circuit 10 not only sends alarm prompt information in time according to the brush head indication signal, but even adopts a corresponding measure to stop the brush head from working, so as to prevent the user from using a waste brush head for a long time to cause adverse effects on the oral health.
Further, the main control module 101 receives the brush head type and generates the control signal thereby, and the information of the brush head used by the user can be obtained through the control signal, for example, the physical state, the remaining service life and other information of the brush head selected by the user can be predicted through the control signal; when the main control module 101 transmits the control signal to the smart terminal 20, the user is reminded in real time, through a visual intuitive interface by the APP installed on the smart terminal 20, that the toothbrush head needs to be changed in time; thus, the brush head of the user is ensured to be in an optimal working state in various aspects.
Further, as the brush head module 102 receives the control signal generated by the main control module 101, parameters of the brush head may be modified according to the control signal, wherein the parameters of the brush head include: tooth-brushing mode, force, duration and so on, and the modified parameters of the brush head are stored in the control circuit 10, then when the user uses the toothbrush next time, the main control module 101 will directly read the modified parameters of the brush head of the user, so as to match the tooth-brushing mode, force, duration, etc. of the smart toothbrush; thus, the bidirectional data interaction operation can be carried out between the user and the smart toothbrush.
The position detection module 103 is connected to the main control module 101, and the position detection module 103 detects the user's tooth-brushing posture to obtain the tooth-brushing posture data, and transmits the tooth-brushing posture data to the main control module 101; a correct tooth-brushing position plays an important role in cleaning teeth and to the dental health when the user brushes teeth, but in practical operation, the user often has bad tooth-brushing habits, thus resulting in poor tooth-brushing effect of the user; in order to correct the user's tooth-brushing habits, the user's tooth-brushing posture is detected in real time by the position detection module 103 to obtain the tooth-brushing posture data, wherein the tooth-brushing posture data includes position information of the user in the tooth-brushing process; the main control module 101 generates the control signal according to the tooth-brushing posture data, wherein the control signal includes tooth-brushing posture information of the user, the main control module 101 transmits the control signal to the position detection module 103, the position detecting module obtains a tooth-brushing posture guide signal according to the control signal, wherein the tooth-brushing posture guide signal is configured to send tooth-brushing posture real-time guidance information to the user, for example, the tooth-brushing posture real-time guidance information includes: left hand tooth-brushing or right hand tooth-brushing, transverse brushing, false tooth-brushing posture reminder, smart wake-up, etc.; meanwhile, the main control module 101 uploads the control signal to the APP in the smart terminal 20, and the user can see his/her own tooth-brushing position through the APP; meanwhile, the smart terminal 20 uploads the tooth-brushing posture data to the cloud server 30, and a tooth-brushing results of the user in multiple regions and on multiple surfaces can be displayed in real time through the big data analysis algorithm in the cloud server 30, and the user is guided in real time to adjust the tooth-brushing posture, thereby ensuring from many aspects that the user obtains an optimal tooth-brushing effect when brushing teeth.
The pressure detection module 104 is connected to the main control module 101, and the pressure detection module 104 detects the tooth-brushing pressure of the user to obtain the tooth-brushing pressure data, and transmits the tooth-brushing pressure data to the main control module 101; in the tooth-brushing process of the user, if the tooth-brushing pressure of the user is too large, the bristles of the toothbrush may cause certain wear on the gingiva and teeth; on the contrary, if the tooth-brushing pressure of the user is too small, the toothbrush cannot function to clean teeth; therefore, an appropriate tooth-brushing pressure is required to keep the optimal tooth-brushing effect; through the pressure detection module 104, the tooth-brushing pressure of the user can be detected in real time and the tooth-brushing pressure data can be obtained, and the tooth-brushing pressure of the user in the tooth-brushing process can be detected through the tooth-brushing pressure data; the main control module 101 generates the control signal according to the tooth-brushing pressure data, and when the pressure detection module 104 receives the control signal, the pressure detection module 104 generates a pressure detection signal according to the control signal, and can send prompt information of too large/too small real-time tooth-brushing pressure, anti-splash prompt information, etc. to the user through the pressure detection signal.
Specifically, if the control circuit 10 detects that the tooth-brushing pressure of the user is too large, the pressure detection module 104 appropriately reduces vibration frequency and vibration strength of the toothbrush according to the pressure detection signal, so as to reduce the wear of the bristles of the toothbrush on the teeth, and meanwhile, the user also may be prompted to pay attention to the tooth-brushing pressure through motor vibration, indicator lamp and speaker prompt information; or when the user uses the smart toothbrush to brush teeth, the high-frequency motor vibration may cause toothpaste to fall off or toothpaste foam to splash around, and when the user turns on the smart toothbrush to brush teeth, the user does not actually brush teeth, that is, the brush head of the smart toothbrush does not enter the oral cavity of the user, at this time, the tooth-brushing pressure detected by the control circuit 10 is a small value, then the pressure detection module 104 appropriately reduces the vibration frequency and the vibration amplitude according to the pressure detection signal, so as to prevent fall-off of the toothpaste or splashing of the toothpaste foam; subsequently, if the user actually uses the smart toothbrush to brush teeth (i.e. after the brush head of the smart toothbrush enters the oral cavity of the user), the tooth-brushing pressure detected by the control circuit 10 will get increased, and when the tooth-brushing pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the smart toothbrush starts to work normally according to the pressure detection signal, i.e. the motor of the toothbrush starts to work normally.
As a preferred embodiment therein, the pressure detection module 104 may record total tooth-brushing duration of the user according to the pressure detection signal; optionally, when the pressure detection module 104 detects that the user is actually in a toothpaste splashing state when brushing teeth, the pressure detection module 104 can obtain, according to the pressure detection signal, that the user does not actually brush teeth, then the pressure detection module will not count the time of toothpaste splashing during the tooth-brushing into the total duration of tooth-brushing, thereby improving the accuracy of the pressure detection module 104 in recording the total duration of the user according to the pressure detection signal, and the control circuit 10 may evaluate the tooth-brushing pressure situation of the user more comprehensively according to the pressure detection signal.
Specifically, the main control module 101 uploads the tooth-brushing pressure data to the cloud server 30 through the smart terminal 20, and obtains the actual tooth-brushing situation of the user through smart processing, analysis and evaluation on the tooth-brushing pressure data; therefore, the historical tooth-brushing pressure data of the user may be more comprehensively analyzed in depth through the smart algorithm stored in the cloud server 30, to predict and evaluate the tooth-brushing health condition of the user.
Through the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the control circuit 10 of the smart toothbrush, on the one hand, the main control module 101 uploads the oral data of the user to the cloud server 30 through the smart terminal 20, wherein the oral data includes various kinds of tooth-brushing data generated in the tooth-brushing process of the user, and when the cloud server 30 receives the oral data, the oral data is processed and analyzed in depth in real time based on a plurality of data processing algorithms, and the user's tooth-brushing behavior and oral health condition can be monitored comprehensively just by processing and analyzing the oral data in depth, thus improving the intelligent experience and comfort of the user when using the smart toothbrush; on the other hand, the main control module 101 generates the control signal according to the oral data, wherein the control signal comprehensively includes the tooth-brushing behavior of the user, therefore, the brush head module 102, the position detection module 103 and the pressure detection module 104 synchronously send correction and guidance information for the tooth-brushing behavior according to the control signal, respectively, to correct bad tooth-brushing behavior of the user, so that the user is allowed to always keep the optimal tooth-brushing state, and maintain the dental health of the user; and meanwhile, the user further may obtain his/her own tooth-brushing behavior through the APP on the smart terminal 20, and the user can more intuitively learn his/her real-time tooth-brushing behavior and oral health, so as to effectively solve the problems in the prior art that the control circuit of the smart toothbrush cannot analyze or process the tooth-brushing data in depth and that the intelligent experience of the user is not good.
