Oral Care Implement and Refill Head Thereof
An oral care refill head (300), the oral care refill head (300) may be detachably coupled to a handle (200). The handle (200) may include a stem (250) that is received within a connection cavity (326) of the oral care refill head (300). The stem (250) and the connection cavity (326) may have specific geometries and structures to ensure an adequate coupling therebetween. An oral care implement (100), the oral care implement (100) have a pressure sensing assembly, excessive pressure applied onto the oral care refill head (300) will cause the motor (140) and a motor chassis (401) to rock. As the motor chassis (401) rocks, a contact element (456) thereon will actuate a pressure actuator element (455). In response, a control unit (150) may initiate generation of a user perceptible signal to inform the user of the excess pressure.
Photosensitive pressure alarm device for electric cleaning care appliances
A photosensitive pressure alarm device for electric cleaning care appliances comprises at least one light source, at least one photosensitive unit, a light reflecting surface, a detection circuit, and an alarm portion. The light source and the photosensitive unit are provided on a movable component or a movable component on a same side, and the light reflecting surface is provided on a stationary component or the movable component. Under the combined action of an external force (F.sub.1) and an elastic force (F.sub.2), the light reflecting surface or the light source and the photosensitive unit provided on the movable component can move with the movable component, and the incident angle and the reflection angle of the light on the light reflecting surface change, causing that the light receiving area of the photosensitive unit changes, and in turn resulting in change of the electrical performance of the photosensitive unit.
AN ORAL TREATMENT DEVICE
The invention provides for an oral treatment unit, or an assembly of a plurality of oral treatment units, for confining an electromagnetic field having a frequency in the range of 100 kHz to 300 MHz and adapted to be inserted into an oral cavity, which may form part of an oral cleaning device in combination with a base unit, including a first cleaning element coupled to the oral treatment unit. The oral treatment unit further includes a material structure coupled to the oral treatment unit adapted to receive an initial electromagnetic field and output a focused electromagnetic field, wherein the material structure has a passive electromagnetic field focusing function, which focuses the received initial electromagnetic field in the near-field region of the material structure. A further aspect of the invention provides for an oral treatment unit, or an assembly of a plurality of oral treatment units, for confining and modulating an electromagnetic field having a frequency in the range of 1 MHz to 300 GHz and adapted to be inserted into the mouth, which may form part of an oral cleaning device in combination with a base unit, including a first cleaning element coupled to the oral treatment unit. The oral treatment unit further comprises an electromagnetic field focusing element adapted to receive an electromagnetic field having an initial frequency and output a focused electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field focusing element comprises a first material structure having a first passive electromagnetic field focusing function, which confines the modulated electromagnetic field at a given distance from the first material structure by performing one or more of: an attenuation rate control function in the near-field region of the first material structure; or a propagation direction modification function on the electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field focusing element has a modulation function that modulates the confined electromagnetic field, thereby generating a modulated electromagnetic field.
ORAL TOOTHPASTE AND ELECTRICAL CLEANING DEVICE
An oral cleaning device includes a head portion that supports cleaning elements, a handle portion extending from the head portion, an EMF generator disposed in the handle portion. An inductor is located in the head portion and is connected to the EMF generator.
Automatic toothbrushes
Automatic toothbrushes are disclosed herein. A toothbrush configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a handle and a mouthguard coupled to the handle.
