Description

一种电动牙刷及电动牙刷的控制方法 技术领域
本发明涉及电动牙刷技术领域，尤其涉及一种电动牙刷及电动牙刷的控制方法。
背景技术
电动牙刷通过电动机芯的快速旋转或震动，使刷头产生高频震动，瞬间将牙膏分解成细微泡沫，深入清洁牙缝，且刷毛的颤动能促进口腔的血液循环，对牙龈组织有意想不到的按摩效果。电动牙刷与普通牙刷相比，可以更彻底清除牙菌斑、减少牙龈炎、牙周病和牙龈出血等口腔疾病，近几年受到人们的青睐。
现有的电动牙刷是通过按电动牙刷的刷柄上的按钮以实现电动机芯的旋转或震动，以推动刷头产生高频震动，以达到刷牙的效果，该种电动牙刷刷牙时间、震动频率以及震动幅度均是固定的，在某些场景下无法满足用户的需求。并且，这种按钮通常是机械式的，经过长时间使用后容易损坏，影响牙刷的寿命。
发明内容

可以看出，本发明实施例中，由于采用了触摸表面代替传统的机械按键，其在经过长时间使用后也不易损坏，可提升电动牙刷的寿命。

下面结合附图详细描述本发明的实施例，以便本领域技术人员理解。
请一并参见图1和图2，本发明实施例提供的一种电动牙刷。该电动牙刷包括刷柄10及刷头20、还包括设于刷柄10上的触摸表面30及控制器40，控制器40用于根据触摸表面30感测的触摸手势对电动牙刷进行控制。由于采用了触摸表面30代替传统的机械按键，其在经过长时间使用后也不易损坏，可提升牙刷的寿命。
可选的，该电动牙刷还包括设于刷柄10上的指示灯50和按键60，按键60用于开启或关闭刷头的振动，并且，通过长按按键60，可以使牙刷进入设定模式。在设定模式中，通过在触摸表面30上做出相应的手势，可以调节牙刷的各种参数。指示灯50用来提示电动牙刷是否开启或关闭，以及是否进入设定模式。更具体地，在设定模式中，通过进一步按下按键，可以使电动牙刷进入不同的参数调节模式，比如长按按键60进入时间调节模式，再长按按键进入频率调节模式，再长按按键进入振动幅度调节模式。指示灯50在不同的设定模式中可以发出不同颜色的光，以方便用户识别。
可选的，触摸表面30的材质为柔性材质且触摸表面30环绕刷柄10外表面。以方便对手掌及手指的接触位置的检查。
可选的，控制器40用于根据触摸手势对电动牙刷的振动时间、振动幅度及振动频率中的至少一种进行调节。
可选的，控制器40用于根据触摸手势决定是否启动电动牙刷。
可选的，，传统的牙刷与牙齿清洁物质(比如牙膏)是分离的，使用时需要将牙膏挤在牙刷的刷头20上，不方便携带，且牙膏的挤出量不易控制，因此，为了使电动牙刷具备控制牙膏挤出的功能，可在刷柄10内设有收容牙齿清洁物质90的置物腔70以及将置物腔70与刷头20连通的通槽80，控制器40用于控制牙齿清洁物质90经由通槽80流至刷头20表面。
可选的，置物腔70内设有活塞100，刷柄10内设有通过连杆110与活塞100连接的马达120，控制器40用于控制马达120启动，以使得活塞100推动牙齿清洁物质90从通槽80流至刷头20表面。
可选的，刷柄10内设有检测电动牙刷朝向的方向传感器130，控制器40用于在方向传感器130及触摸表面30共同检测到电动牙刷处于刷牙状态的情况下，控制马达120启动，以实现全自动的挤牙膏过程。比如，牙刷在不使用时通常是竖直的放置，当需要使用时，会以水平或者水平倾斜的方式拿起。因此，方向传感器130可通过检测牙刷的当前的方向来控制马达120启动，使其自动挤牙膏。使马达120运作的具体实施方式可以有：当方向传感器检测到的方向与预设方向匹配，则启动马达120，以实现全自动挤牙膏过程。比如，在不使用时牙刷为竖直状态，此时方向传感器130检测到牙刷的竖直方向，保持马达120关闭。当使用时，牙刷被拿起变成水平或水平倾斜状态(比如与水平方向夹角的范围在0°～15°)，此时方向传感器130检测到牙刷的水平或水平倾斜方向，启动马达120，使马达120将牙膏挤出。在刷牙过程中，由于牙刷一直是出于非竖直状态，因此方向传感器130会控制马达，将牙膏持续挤出。此种牙膏持续挤出的方式可避免传统一次性挤牙膏到牙刷上而容易出现牙膏掉落的问题。此外，由于刷牙过程中牙膏一直在持续挤出，为了避免浪费，可将细孔的孔径设置的较小，或者通过牙刷内置的控制器40控制活塞100以非常缓慢的速度移动，使出膏量控制在合理范围内。
可选的，置物腔70包括展示牙齿清洁物质90剩余量的透明窗140，覆盖透明窗140的触摸表面30的材质为透明柔性触摸板。以方便用户观察牙齿清洁物质90剩余量。
可选的，为了防止进入通槽80的牙齿清洁物质倒流，可在通槽80内设有单向阀150，牙齿清洁物质90通过单向阀150之后无法倒流回置物腔70内，以防止杂质进入置物腔70而污染置于置物腔70内的牙齿清洁物质90。
可选的，电动牙刷还包括置于刷柄10内的电池160，电池160为电动牙刷供电。
图3是包括上述描述的电动牙刷的具体执行过程的控制方法的流程示意图。尽管这里描述的电动牙刷是基于图1和图2所示的电动牙刷来执行，但需 要注意的是，本发明实施例公开的控制方法的具体运行环境不仅限于上述电动牙刷。
如图3所示，本发明方法实施例公开的控制方法具体包括以下步骤：
S301、电动牙刷感测作用于电动牙刷触摸表面30的触摸手势。
S302、电动牙刷根据触摸手势对电动牙刷进行控制。
可选的，电动牙刷感测作用于电动牙刷触摸表面30的触摸手势之前，电动牙刷根据切换指令确定目标参数，其具体实施方式为：电动牙刷根据切换指令确定当前待调整的目标参数，并控制指示灯50发出相应颜色的灯光。举例来说，用户可通过长按置于刷柄10上按键60的时长来启动电动牙刷不同参数设定功能，比如，长按压按键602-3s，指示灯50灯光颜色为绿色，此时当前待调整的目标参数为刷头20的振动时间；又如，长按压按键603-4s，指示灯50灯光颜色为蓝色，此时当前待调整的目标参数为刷头20的振动频率；又如，长按压按键604-5s，指示灯50灯光颜色为红色，此时当前待调整的目标参数为刷头20的振动幅度等等；或者，又举例来说，当用户长按置于刷柄10上按键60后，电动牙刷进入振动时间参数设定功能，指示灯50灯光颜色为绿色，此时当前待调整的目标参数为刷头20的振动时间，当调节完刷头20的振动时间后，长按按键60，指示灯50灯光颜色为蓝色，此时当前待调整的目标参数为刷头20的振动频率，当调节完刷头20的振动频率后，长按按键60，指示灯50灯光颜色为红色，此时当前待调整的目标参数为刷头20的振动幅度等等。
可选的，电动牙刷感测作用于电动牙刷触摸表面30的触摸手势之前，电动牙刷根据触摸手势的触点数量确定目标参数。比如，用户在触摸表面30上单指触控则目标参数为刷头20的振动时间，用户在触摸表面30上双指触控则目标参数为刷头20的振动频率，用户在触摸表面30上三指触控则目标参数为刷头20的振动幅度等等，由此就无需在不同设定模式之间切换。
可选的，上述触摸手势包括在触摸表面30的触摸操作的触控方向和触控点位置，电动牙刷根据触摸手势对电动牙刷进行控制，包括：电动牙刷根据触控方向和触控点位置确定目标参数的参数值；电动牙刷再根据目标参数的参数值调整所述目标参数。举例来说，假设将触摸表面30划分为四个区域，若当前指示灯50灯光颜色为绿色，用户在第一区域向上滑动时，对应的振动时间 为4分钟，用户在第二区域向下滑动时，对应的振动时间为3分钟等等；又举例来说，假设将触摸表面30划分为四个区域，若当前指示灯50灯光颜色为蓝色，用户在第二区域向上滑动时，对应的振动频率为400hz，用户在第二区域向下滑动时，对应的振动频率为500hz等等；又举例来说，假设将触摸表面30划分为四个区域，若当前指示灯50灯光颜色为红色，用户在第三区域向上滑动时，对应的振动幅度为2mm，用户在第三区域向下滑动时，对应的振动幅度为5mm等等。
可选的，上述触摸手势包括在触摸表面30的滑动操作，电动牙刷根据触摸手势对电动牙刷进行控制，包括：电动牙刷根据滑动操作的滑动方向调整目标参数的增减。举例来说，假设当前指示灯50灯光颜色为绿色，若滑动操作为在触摸表面30上向上滑动，此时刷头20的振动时间按照第一预设数值递增，若滑动操作为在触摸表面30上向下滑动，此时刷头20的振动时间按照第一预设数值递减；又举例来说，假设当前指示灯50灯光颜色为蓝色，若滑动操作为在触摸表面30上向右滑动，此时刷头20的振动频率按照第二预设数值递增，若滑动操作为在触摸表面30上向左滑动，此时刷头20的振动频率按照第二预设数值递减等等。
可选的，上述触摸手势包括在触摸表面30的滑动操作，电动牙刷根据触摸手势对电动牙刷进行控制，包括：电动牙刷根据滑动操作的滑动距离调整目标参数的增减。举例来说，假设当前指示灯50灯光颜色为绿色，若滑动操作为在触摸表面30上向上滑且滑动距离为2cm，此时刷头20的振动时间按照第一数值递增，若滑动操作为在触摸表面30上向下滑动且滑动距离为2cm，此时刷头20的振动时间按照第二数值递减，其中，该第一数值和第二数值与滑动距离的比值可以是1cm/1s或是其他值；又举例来说，假设当前指示灯50灯光颜色为蓝色，若滑动操作为在触摸表面30上向右滑动且滑动距离为2cm，此时刷头20的振动频率按照第三数值递增，若滑动操作为在触摸表面30上向左滑动且滑动距离为2cm，此时刷头20的振动频率按照第四数值递减，其中，该第三数值和第四数值与滑动距离的比值可以是10hz/1s或是其他值。
需要说明的是，上述指示灯50的颜色和设定方式仅仅是举例，本发明不限于这些方式。
可以看出，本发明实施例中，用户可通过长按电动牙刷的按键60进入参数设定功能，然后用户可在电动牙刷的触摸表面30上进行触控操作来调整电动牙刷的刷头20振动时间，振动频率和振动幅度，相较于现有技术，本申请可根据实际情况调整电动牙刷的参数，进而提升了使用电动牙刷的智能性和用户体验。
可选的，上述触摸手势包括握持电动牙刷的手势，电动牙刷根据触摸手势对电动牙刷进行控制的具体实施方式为：电动牙刷根据握持电动牙刷的手势判断是否需要启动电动牙刷。比如，该握持电动牙刷的手势与预设握持电动牙刷的手势相匹配，则启动电动牙刷，若否，则不启动。
更进一步地，触摸表面30还可以包裹于所述电动牙刷的刷柄10的外表面，从而实现对用户握姿检测的功能，如图4所示，检测过程包括：
S303、电动牙刷获取用户手握电动牙刷的刷柄10时，触控触摸表面30的多个触控点。
S304、电动牙刷根据多个触控点确定用户的手握姿势。
S305、若用户的手握姿势与预设手握姿势不匹配，电动牙刷提示用户调整手握姿势。
举例来说，目前人们刷牙的通用握法主要有两种，一种是握笔式，另一种是握手式，根据测试表明，使用握笔式刷牙时，刷牙的压力曲线较握手式所出现的振动波形密，振动次数多，使用握笔式刷牙时，容易出现大的横刷动作，造成牙体与牙龈损伤，尤其是尖牙唇侧的区域，因为这个部分牙体突出，牙龈组织较薄，不正确的刷牙方式，容易导致牙体磨损和牙龈萎缩损害，一般提倡用握笔式刷牙。本实施例提供的电动牙刷的触摸表面30是环绕整个刷柄10的，当电动牙刷启动时，用户手握电动牙刷的刷柄10刷牙时，由于手握刷柄10使得手指或手掌触控到触摸表面30，此时电动牙刷获取触控到触摸表面30的多个触控点，电动牙刷可根据多个触控点确定用户的手握姿势，比如，假设预设手握姿势为握笔式，由于用户采用握手式握住电动牙刷的刷柄10时，触控到触摸表面30的多个触控点的数量较多，电动牙刷可根据触控点的数量来判断手握姿势，提示用户调整手握姿势，以纠正不正确的手握姿势，从而保护口腔的健康。其中，提示的方式可以是通过指示灯50提示(比如手握姿势正 确指示灯50显示白色，手握姿势不正确指示灯50显示黄色)，也可以通过语音提示，也可以通过文字提示等等。
上述触摸表面30也可以通过独立的多个触摸传感器代替。刷柄10上可设置多个触摸传感器，当电动牙刷启动时，用户手握电动牙刷的刷柄10刷牙时，由于手握刷柄10使得手指或手掌会触控到设置在刷柄10上的多个触摸传感器，此时电动牙刷获取多个触摸传感器的数值，电动牙刷可根据多个触摸传感器的数值确定用户的手握姿势，比如，当触摸传感器被触碰到时，触摸传感器的数值为1，当触摸传感器未被触碰到时，触摸传感器的数值为0，假设预设手握姿势为握笔式，由于用户采用握手式握住电动牙刷的刷柄10时，触摸传感器的数值为1的数量较多，电动牙刷可根据多个触摸传感器的数量来判断手握姿势，提示用户调整手握姿势，以纠正不正确的手握姿势，从而保护口腔的健康。其中，提示的方式可以是通过指示灯50提示(比如手握姿势正确指示灯50显示白色，手握姿势不正确指示灯50显示黄色)，也可以通过语音提示，也可以通过文字提示等等。
可选的，请参见图5，检测过程包括：
S306、电动牙刷获取用户手握电动牙刷的刷柄10时，置于电动牙刷的刷柄10上的多个触摸传感器的数值；
S307、电动牙刷根据多个触摸传感器的数值确定用户的手握姿势；
S308、若所述用户的手握姿势与预设手握姿势不匹配，电动牙刷提示用户调整手握姿势。
当然，如果用户握住牙刷的手势不正确，牙刷也可以不发出提示，而是直接不启动，只有当手势正确是才会启动。另外，对于有些已经养成习惯的用户，握住牙刷的手势已经很难更改，为了使这部分用户也能正常使用牙刷，可以设定不管是采用哪种手势，只要握住触摸表面30或触摸传感器就可以启动牙刷。这种情况下握住牙刷的手势包括任意的手势。
可选的，请参见图6，图3所示的控制方法还包括：
S309、电动牙刷检测置于电动牙刷的刷柄10内的方向传感器的方向；
S310、若方向传感器的方向与预设方向匹配，电动牙刷启动置于刷柄10尾部的马达120，以推动与马达120连接的活塞100移动，以使得将存储的牙 齿清洁物质90挤出。
由于牙刷在日常生活中会不可避免地水平放置(比如外出携带或不小心放倒)，如果仅靠方向传感器控制马达120的挤牙膏过程就会造成浪费，因此可以考虑将方向传感器与触摸表面30的握姿检测结合来共同控制牙膏的挤出过程。当方向传感器检测到牙刷处于非竖直的方向，并且触摸表面30同时检测到正确的牙刷握姿(比如为握笔式)时，才启动马达120工作将牙膏挤出。如果方向传感器检测到牙刷处于非竖直状态，但触摸表面30并没有检测到正确握姿，马达120仍旧会保持关闭，不会挤出牙膏，以避免出现误判的情况。通过将方向传感器与触摸表面30结合，可以实现全自动的刷牙体验。当用户拿起牙刷，并采用正确的握姿握住牙刷，此时牙膏将会自动并持续地挤出，给用户提供了全新牙体验。当然，有些用户可能已经形成了个人习惯，不愿意采用正确的牙刷握姿，为了确保这些用户的正常使用，也可设置为只要触摸表面30检测到有人手握住牙刷(比如为握笔式或握手式，即此处的握持手势包括任意的手势)，且方向传感器检测到牙刷的非竖直状态，即可控制马达120挤出牙膏。由于触摸表面30的检测精度较高，可将人手检测范围设置为至少三个手指(即3个触控点)，即检测到三个手指之后才会控制马达120启动。
可选的，请参见图7，图3所示的参数调整方法还包括：
S311、电动牙刷检测置于所述电动牙刷的刷柄10内的方向传感器的方向。
S312、电动牙刷获取触控所述触摸表面30的触控点，并根据所述触控点确定用户的手握姿势。
S313、若所述方向传感器130的方向与预设方向匹配，且所述用户的手握姿势与预设手握姿势匹配，电动牙刷启动置于所述刷柄10尾部的马达120，以推动与马达120连接的活塞100移动，以使得将存储的牙齿清洁物质90挤出。
