And the motor rotation through electric toothbrush drives electric toothbrush's brush head and carries out positive and negative rotation for the brush head can be faster carry out positive and negative rotation, thereby increases the relative speed of brush head and water, washes with the high efficiency of realization to the brush head. Because can effectively wash electric toothbrush, guarantee user's oral cavity health, improve the user and use electric toothbrush's experience.
At present, the electric toothbrush is mainly cleaned manually, the handle of the electric toothbrush is heavy, the brush head is light and small, so that a user can easily collide the electric toothbrush with the wall of a cleaning container when cleaning the electric toothbrush, and the user can reduce the shaking speed when cleaning the electric toothbrush in order to avoid collision, so that the relative speed of the brush head and water is slow to move, and the electric toothbrush is difficult to clean. The electric toothbrush provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is connected with the corresponding second contact in the cleaning container in which the electric toothbrush is positioned through the first contact on the handle, and after the connection, the brush head of the electric toothbrush cannot contact the container wall and the bottom of the container; the storage battery of the electric toothbrush supplies power to the water level sensing device of the container through the power management module; when the first processor receives a cleaning instruction generated by pressing a cleaning function key by a user, the water level sensing device is triggered to detect water level data, and the water level data is fed back to the first processor of the electric toothbrush through Bluetooth; under the condition that water level data satisfies the preset condition, electric toothbrush's first treater sends control signal for the motor, and the control motor rotates to drive electric toothbrush's brush head and carry out positive and negative rotation, make the brush head can be quick carry out positive and negative rotation, increase the relative speed of brush head and water, wash with the realization to the high efficiency of brush head.
Thus, the electric toothbrush can realize the function of more thorough cleaning by means of the matched cleaning container. The matched cleaning container for the electric toothbrush can realize the cleaning function of the electric toothbrush after the teeth are brushed, and can be filled into the cleaning container when the electric toothbrush is not used, so that the electric toothbrush can be kept clean and safe at any time, and convenience is brought to people who often go out.
