DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0081] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments, and obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those ordinarily skilled in the art, without making inventive effort, fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0082] At present, the existing electric shavers all require the user to press the switch separately to start, which is inconvenient to use, based on this point, an electric shaver and an electric shaver system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can realize automatic start, which is convenient for the user to use and improves the experience of user.
[0083] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present embodiment, an electric shaver disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is first introduced in detail.
[0084] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an electric shaver 10, the electric shaver 10 may be a beard clipper, a hair clipper, or an electric shaving equipment for other purposes.
[0085] Referring to the structural schematic view of the electric shaver 10 shown in
[0086] The first electric shaver 10 is a beard clipper, and the structure of the electric shaver 10 is described in detail below by taking the first electric shaver 10 as an example.
[0087] Referring to
[0088] Specifically, the handle induction element 140 may also be called a second sensor, the head portion induction element 210 may also be called a first sensor, simultaneously, the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210 may be collectively called as an induction assembly, in other words, the electric shaver 10 includes the induction assembly, and the induction assembly comprises the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210. The handle induction element 140 is configured to detect whether the electric shaver 10 is in the state of being held by the operator, when the handle induction element 140 detects that the electric shaver 10 is in the handheld state, the handle induction element 140 generates a first induction signal and sends the first induction signal to the control chip 120, in other words, when the handle induction element 140 detects that the distance between the electric shaver 10 and the operator at the handle induction element 140 is almost zero, the control chip 120 obtains the first induction signal. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the distance value, corresponding to the first induction signal, between the electric shaver 10 and the operator can also be set according to requirements.
[0089] The second induction signal is the signal generated when the electrical signal carried on the head portion induction element 210 changes, specifically, the change in the electrical signal mainly refers to the change in the capacitance, since the human body itself carries a certain capacitance, when the human body approaches the head portion induction element 210, the capacitance of the head portion induction element 210 increases, and the signal is the second induction signal.
[0090] Optionally, the electric shaver 10 further includes a printed circuit board (PCB board), and the head portion induction element 210, the handle induction element 140 and the control chip 120 are respectively connected to the PCB board, during use, the head portion induction element 210 and the handle induction element 140 transmit the signal to the PCB board, and the signal is introduced into the control chip 120 through the circuit of the PCB board.
[0091] Optionally, the above-mentioned handle induction element 140 includes a first induction coil provided on the inner wall of the housing 110. As shown in
[0092] Since the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210 are both induction coils, and the human body is a conductor, based on the working principle of the antenna, both the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210 can generate an induction electrical signal when the human body approaches, so as to realize the automatic starting of the electric shaver, in which the realizing principle is stable and reliable. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the specific structures of the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210 can also be provided according to requirements, for example, the handle induction element 140 is provided as the handle induction element 140 or a pressure sensor, or the head portion induction element 210 is provided as an infrared sensor.
[0093] When the handle induction element 140 is the infrared sensor, the infrared sensor can convert a hand infrared characteristic signal, when the operator holds, into electrical signal, and transmit the electrical signal to the control chip 120. When the handle induction element 140 is a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor can convert a pressure when the operator holds into electrical signal, and transmit the electrical signal to the control chip 120. When the head portion induction element 210 is the infrared sensor, the infrared sensor can perform distance detection, and can judge the infrared characteristics of the application object at the same time, so as to detect whether the object close to the head portion induction element 210 is the preset application object, specifically, the electric shaver 10 is the beard clipper, so the preset application object at this time is the human body.
[0094] In addition, the control chip 120 is also configured to send a shutdown control signal to the driving component 130 during the operation of the cutter head 200, so that the driving component 130 stops driving the cutter head 200, when the first induction signal and the second induction signal are not received, or only one of the first induction signal and the second induction signal is received, that is, when the control chip 120 does not receive at least one of the first induction signal and the second induction signal. In this way, the automatic shutdown function of the electric shaver 10 is realized, and the electric energy can also be saved at the same time.
[0095] Specifically, the material of the above-mentioned housing 110 may be, but is not limited to, plastic. The control chip 120 may be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit). For example, the control chip 120 is a single chip microcomputer, and the model of the control chip 120 may be, but is not limited to, PL51T020. The number of cutter heads 200 may be one or multiple, as shown in
[0096] Optionally, the electric shaver 10 further includes a cutter head support 220 configured to fix the cutter head 200, the cutter head support 220 is connected to the machine body 100, and a hair storage room 230 is formed between the cutter head support 220 and the machine body. The three cutter heads 200 are evenly distributed on the cutter head support 220, specifically, the cutter heads 200 are circular, and the circle centers of the three cutter heads 200 are connected in sequence to form a shape that is roughly an equilateral triangle.
[0097] The above-mentioned electric shaver 10 may automatically start up when both the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210 sense the proximity of a human body (skin), and may be automatically turned off, when at least one of the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210 senses that the human body (skin) is moving away, and the user does not need to press the switch separately, so the electric shaver is convenient to use and improves the user's experience.
[0098] The above-mentioned electric shaver 10 also has a mistaken touch preventing function, wherein the electric shaver may automatically start up only when the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210 sense the proximity of the human body simultaneously, that is, when the user only approaches one of the handle induction element 140 and the head portion induction element 210, the electric shaver 10 will not run or start up, thus effectively avoiding touch by mistake, and the structure design is more reasonable.
[0099] In addition, the overall appearance of the above-mentioned electric shaver 10 does not have any buttons or push switches, which is more conducive to waterproofing.
[0100] It can be understood that the first electric shaver 10 can also realize the function of automatic starting and stopping without the need for the user to press the switch separately by only providing the handle induction element 140 or the head portion induction element 210.
[0101] Optionally, the handle induction element 140 includes a first induction coil provided on the inner wall of the housing 100. The cutter head 200 has a cutter net cover 211, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cutter net cover 211 is used as the head portion induction element 210. Specifically, the electric shaver 10 provided in this embodiment will be described below by using the cutter net cover 211 as the head portion induction element 210.
[0102] In another possible embodiment, a second induction coil may be provided around the cutter net cover 211, and the second induction coil is used as the head portion induction element 210.
[0103] In yet another possible embodiment, both the cutter net cover 211 and the second induction coil are used as the head portion induction element 210, and the cutter net cover 211 and the second induction coil are respectively connected to the control chip 120, when receiving a signal sent by at least one of the cutter net cover 211 and the second induction coil, the control chip 120 determines that the second induction signal generated by the head portion induction element 210 is received. In this way, the head portion induction element 210 has a larger area, can sense the proximity of the human body in time, and thus has high sensitivity.
[0104] Optionally, the material of the above-mentioned first induction coil includes at least one of copper, steel, iron, aluminum, zinc and nickel, for example, the material of the first induction coil is provided as copper, steel, iron, aluminum, zinc or nickel, or the material of the first induction coil is provided as any two of copper, steel, iron, aluminum, zinc and nickel; and the material of the above-mentioned second induction coil also includes at least one of copper, steel, iron, aluminum, zinc and nickel, for example, the material of the second induction coil is provided as copper, steel, iron, aluminum, zinc or nickel, or the material of the second induction coil is provided as any two of copper, steel, iron, aluminum, zinc and nickel.
[0105] Optionally, in order to improve safety, as shown in
[0106]
[0107] The cutter head 200 further includes an inner blade 212, the inner blade 212 is provided inside the cutter net cover 211, and the driving component 130 is connected to the inner blade 212. The cutter net cover 211 is configured to cooperate with the inner blade 212 to cut hair (hair, beard or the like), and prevent the skin from being cut. The inner blade 212 is configured to move relative to the cutter net cover 211 under the driving of the driving component 130 to cut hair and the like. The control chip 120 is communicated to the cutter net cover 211, and when detecting that the electrical signal carried on the cutter net cover 211 changes, the driving component 130 is controlled to be started, thereby driving the inner blade 212 to work, or the driving component 130 is controlled to be turned off, thereby making the inner blade 212 stop working.
[0108] Specifically, when the electrical signal received by the control chip 120 represents an increase in capacitance, that is, when the human body approaches the cutter net cover 211 on the cutter head 200, the driving component 130 is started under the control of the control chip 120, thereby driving the inner blade 212 to work; and when the electrical signal received by the control chip 120 represents a decrease in capacitance, that is, when the human body is moving away from the cutter net cover 211 on the cutter head 200, the driving component 130 is turned off under the control of the control chip 120, thereby making the inner blade 212 to stop working.
[0109] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the cutter head 200 may also be called a head cover assembly, simultaneously, when the cutter head 200 of this embodiment is called a head cover assembly, correspondingly, the inner blade 212 of this embodiment can also be referred to as a cutter head, that is, the cutter head 200 in this embodiment includes the cutter net cover 211 and the inner blade 212, which can be regarded as equivalent to the head cover assembly in other embodiments including the cutter net cover and the cutter head. Simultaneously, the driving component 130 may also be referred to as the drive assembly.
[0110] Therefore, in a certain embodiment, the electric shaver 10 can also be regarded as including a machine body, a head cover assembly, a start-stop controller and a drive assembly, and in this case, the machine body can be regarded as equivalent to the above-mentioned housing 110. The head cover assembly includes a cutter net cover and a cutter head provided inside the cutter net cover, the cutter net cover is provided on the machine body, and the start-stop controller and the drive assembly are provided inside the machine body. The start-stop controller is connected to the drive assembly, and the start-stop controller may be communicated to the cutter net cover, so that the start-stop controller controls the drive assembly to be started to drive the cutter head to work when detecting that the electrical signal carried on the cutter net cover changes, or the start-stop controller controls the drive assembly to be turned off, so that the cutter head stops working.
[0111]
[0112] It should be noted that since the cutter net cover 211 is a part of the cutter head 200, it can also be regarded as that the cutter net cover 211 may be closed or opened relative to the machine body 100, wherein the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, that is, the cutter net cover 211 is closed relative to the machine body 100, and the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, that is, the cutter net cover 211 is opened relative to the machine body 100.
[0113] When the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the driving component 130 is in transmission connection to the cutter head 200, at this time, the driving component 130 may drive the cutter head 200 to work; and when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, the driving component 130 is separated from the cutter head 200, and at this time the driving component 130 is disconnected from the cutter head 200, even if the driving component 130 is started, the cutter head 200 cannot be driven to work. Based on this, the situation that the user touches by mistake the cutter net cover 211, so that the electric shaver 10 automatically starts up, when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100 and the driving component 130 is moved away from the cutter head 200 is avoided.
[0114] The second electric shaver 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a guide assembly 500, the guide assembly 500 is connected to the control chip 120, and when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the guide assembly 500 is communicated to the cutter net cover 211, so that the control chip 120 is communicated to the cutter net cover 211, that is, the control chip 120 is communicated to the head portion induction element 210; and when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, the guide assembly 500 is disconnected from the cutter net cover 211, so that the control chip 120 is disconnected from the cutter net cover 211, that is, the control chip 120 is disconnected from the head portion induction element 210.
[0115] Obviously, by providing the guide assembly 500 connected to the control chip 120, when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the structure in which the guide assembly 500 is communicated to the cutter net cover 211 may also be applied to the electric shaver 10 (for example, the first electric shaver 10) provided with the head portion induction element 210 and the handle induction element 140 simultaneously.
[0116] Referring to
[0117] The transmission shaft assembly 134 is provided on the working end surface 111, and the transmission shaft assembly 134 passes through the drive connection hole 112 to be in transmission connection with the motor 132 provided in the inner cavity of the housing 110. When the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the transmission shaft assembly 134 is in transmission connection with the cutter head 200, so that the power of the motor 132 is transmitted to the inner blade 212 through the transmission shaft assembly 134, so that the inner blade 212 works; and when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, the transmission shaft assembly 134 is separated from the cutter head 200.
[0118] Optionally, the transmission shaft assembly 134 and the cutter head 200 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, in this embodiment, the number of the transmission shaft assembly 134 is three, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of the transmission shaft assembly 134 is correspondingly provided according to the number of the cutter head 200, for example, when the number of cutter head 200 is one, the number of transmission shaft assembly 134 is correspondingly provided to one; and when the number of cutter head 200 is two, the number of transmission shaft assembly 134 is correspondingly provided to two.
[0119] Simultaneously, it can be understood that when one transmission shaft assembly 134 is provided, the motor 132 may be directly connected to the transmission shaft assembly 134 through motor rotating shaft 133, when the number of the transmission shaft assembly 134 is more than one, an intermediate transmission member may be provided to achieve one motor 132 is in transmission connection with a plurality of transmission shaft assembly 134. As shown in
[0120] Based on the above arrangement, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the transmission shaft assembly 134 is made of a conductor material, the guide assembly 500 may be connected to the control chip 120 and the transmission shaft assembly 134 at the same time, so that when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, and the transmission shaft assembly 134 is cooperated with the cutter head 200, the control chip 120 is communicated to the head portion induction element 210 through the guide assembly 500, the transmission shaft assembly 134 and the inner blade 212 in sequence, that is, the second induction signal of the head portion induction element 210 is sequentially transmitted along the inner blade 212, the transmission shaft assembly 134 and the guide assembly 500, and finally transmitted to the control chip 120. When the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, and the transmission shaft assembly 134 is separated from the cutter head 200, the transmission shaft assembly 134 is disconnected from the cutter head 200, that is, the transmission shaft assembly 134 is disconnected from the inner blade 212, so that the transmission shaft assembly 134 is indirectly disconnected from the cutter net cover 211, thereby making the control chip 120 disconnected from the cutter net cover 211.
[0121] Optionally, as shown in
[0122] Optionally, the first conductive wire 520 is a shielded wire. The shielded wire can reduce or even avoid the influence of the external magnetic field on the communication line. Using the shielded wire as the first conductive wire 520 not only can achieve that the control chip 120 is communicated to the transmission shaft assembly 134, but also can avoid the situation that the false induction occurs.
[0123] Optionally, the first conductive sheet 510 has conductive support arms 511, the number of the conductive support arm 511 is multiple, and a plurality of conductive support arms 511 are all configured to be connected to the transmission shaft assembly 134, so as to improve the error-tolerant rate, that is, when a certain conductive support arm 511 is separated from the transmission shaft assembly 134 and cannot be communicated, the remaining conductive support arms 511 can still ensure that the guide assembly 500 is communicated to the transmission shaft assembly 134, which helps to improve the reliability of use. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
[0124] Optionally, the first conductive sheet 510 and the transmission shaft assembly 134 are away from one end of the cutter head 200. It can be understood that when the driven gear 172 is made of conductive material, the first conductive sheet 510 can also be connected to the driven gear, so as to indirectly realize the connection with the transmission shaft assembly 134.
[0125] In the above configuration, since the guide assembly 500 is disconnected from the cutter head 200, when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100 and the transmission shaft assembly 134 is away from the cutter head 200, so that the guide assembly 500 is disconnected from the cutter net cover 211, and the control chip 120 is disconnected from the cutter net cover 211, therefore, when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, even if the user touches the cutter net cover 211 by mistake, the electric shaver 10 will not automatically start up, thereby enhancing the use safety of the electric shaver 10. However, it should be noted that when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, and the user touches by mistake the part of the transmission shaft assembly 134 located outside the machine body 100 and configured to cooperate with the cutter head 200, the electric shaver 10 may still automatically start up.
[0126] Therefore, in order to avoid the above-mentioned situation, referring to
[0127] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the conduction control assembly 540 may be provided on the machine body 100, and when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the conduction control assembly 540 is communicated to the head portion induction element 210 and the conduction connection assembly 530 at the same time, so that the control chip is communicated to the head portion induction element 210 through the conduction connection assembly 530 and the conduction control assembly 540 in sequence. When the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, the conduction control assembly 540 is away from the cutter head 200, so that the control chip 120 is disconnected from the head portion induction element 210.
[0128] Optionally, the conduction control assembly 540 is provided at one end of the working end surface 111 of the housing 110, and the conduction connection assembly 530 may include a second conductive sheet 531 and a second conductive wire 532, and the second conductive sheet 531 is connected to one end of the conduction control assembly 540 away from the cutter head 200, and the second conductive wire 532 is connected to the control chip 120 and the second conductive sheet 531 at the same time, so that when the conduction control assembly 540 is communicated to the head portion induction element 210 of the cutter head 200, the control chip 120 is communicated to the head portion induction element 210 through the second conductive wire 532, the second conductive sheet 531 and the conduction control assembly 540 in sequence.
[0129] Optionally, the second conductive wire 532 is a shielded wire. The shielded wire can reduce or even avoid the influence of the external magnetic field on the communication line, using the shielded wire as the second conductive wire 532 not only can achieve that the control chip 120 is communicated to the conduction control assembly 540, but also can avoid the situation that the false induction occurs.
[0130] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the conduction control assembly 540, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a control connection hole 113 may also be provided on the working end surface 111 of the housing 110, and the conduction control assembly 540 includes a connecting member 541 and a control member 542, wherein the connecting member 541 passes through the control connection hole 113 so that one end of the connecting member 541 extends into the interior of the housing 110, and this end is the first end 5413 of the connecting member 541, in other words, the first end 5413 of the connecting member 541 is located in the housing 110; one end of the connecting member 541 protrudes from the working end surface 111 to be located outside the housing 110, this end is the second end 5414 of the connecting member 541, and the second end 5414 is configured to be communicated to the head portion induction element 210. Specifically, when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the second end 5414 is communicated to the cutter head 200, so that the connecting member 541 is communicated to the head portion induction element 210.
[0131] The control member 542 is provided on the connecting member 541, when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the second end 5414 of the connecting member 541 is communicated to the head portion induction element 210, the first end 5413 of the connecting member 541 is communicated to the conduction connection assembly 530 simultaneously, so as to be communicated to the control chip 120 through the conduction connection assembly 530. When the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, the second end 5414 of the connecting member 541 is disconnected from the head portion induction element 210, and at the same time, the control member 542 makes the first end 5413 disconnected from the conduction connection assembly 530, in this way, the control chip 120 is disconnected from both the connecting member 541 and the head portion induction element 210. In this way, when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, even if the head portion induction element 210 or the connecting member 541 is touched by mistake, the second induction signal cannot be generated, and the second induction signal cannot be sent to the control chip 120, therefore, there will be no situation that the driving component 130 is activated by mistake.
[0132] Continuing to refer to
[0133] Specifically, the blocking component 5412 is sleeved over the first end 5413, and a clamping groove is provided on the first end 5413 for snapping the blocking component 5412, so that the blocking component 5412 is fixed to the connecting component 5411. The control connection hole 113 has a first opening communicating with the inner cavity of the housing 110, and the cross-sectional area of the blocking component 5412 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the first opening, therefore, when the connecting component 5411 has a tendency of moving outward relative to the control connection hole 113, the blocking component 5412 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 110 to prevent the connecting component 5411 from continuing to move outward, thereby preventing the connecting member 541 from moving to the outside of the housing 110 as a whole, which leads to a situation that the connecting member 541 is separated from the housing 110.
[0134] As for the control member 542, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as an optional embodiment, it may include an elastic component 5422. The elastic component 5422 is connected to the connecting member 541, and the elastic component 5422 is configured so that the connecting member 541 has a tendency of moving away from the conduction connection assembly 530, in this way, when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the connecting member 541 compresses the elastic component 5422 under the action of the cutter head 200, and the connecting member 541 moves in a direction close to the conduction connection assembly 530 until the connecting member 541 is communicated to the conduction connection assembly 530; and when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, the connecting member 541 moves in a direction away from the conduction connection assembly 530 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic component 5422, so that the connecting member 541 is disconnected from the conduction connection assembly 530, thereby making the control chip 120 disconnected from the cutter head 200.
[0135] Specifically, the elastic component 5422 is a spring, which is sleeved over the connecting component 5411. A limiting step is provided on the second end 5414 of the connecting component 5411, and one end of the spring abuts against the limiting step. The control connection hole 113 is a countersunk hole, that is, the control connection hole 113 includes a first hole segment and a second hole segment that communicate with each other, the radial dimension of the first hole segment is larger than the radial dimension of the second hole segment, the first hole segment is away from the inner cavity of the housing 110 relative to the second hole segment, and the first opening of the control connection hole 113 is the opening at one end of the second hole segment away from the first hole segment. The spring is provided in the first hole segment, and one end of the spring away from the limiting step abuts against the hole bottom of the first hole segment, in this way, when the connecting component 5411 is pressed by the cutter head 200, and moves close to the conduction connection assembly 530 provided in the housing 110, the distance between the limiting step and the hole bottom of the first hole segment decreases, so that the elastic component 5422 is compressed. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, elastic components 5422 of other structures may also be used, such as elastic rubber block.
[0136] Optionally, the second conductive sheet 531 is fixed to the housing 110, and the connection position between the second conductive sheet 531 and the housing 110 is located on the lower side of the connecting member 541, or in the axial direction of the control connection hole 113, the connection position between the second conductive sheet 531 and the housing 110 is provided just opposite to the first opening.
[0137] In the above arrangement, because in the conduction control assembly 540, when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, the control member 542 may control the connecting member 541 to be disconnected from the conduction connection assembly 530, so that the control chip 120 is disconnected from the connecting member 541, therefore, when the cutter head 200 is opened relative to the machine body 100, even if the user touches by mistake the part of the connecting member 541 located outside the housing 110 and configured to be communicated to the cutter head 200, the electric shaver 10 will also not automatically start up, thereby further enhancing the use safety of the electric shaver 10.

Specifically, the number of the conduction control assembly 540 is two, and the two conduction control assemblies 540 are both configured to be connected to the second conductive sheet 531. The second conductive sheet 531 has two conductive support arms 511, and the two conductive support arms 511 extend to the lower sides of the two conduction control assemblies 540, respectively, so that when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, the two conduction control assemblies 540 are in contact with the two conductive support arms 511, respectively, so that the two conduction control assemblies 540 are communicated to the second conductive wire 532 at the same time.
[0143] Optionally, the number of the second elastic piece part 552 is multiple, and each conduction control assembly 540 corresponds to one second elastic piece part 552, respectively, when the cutter head 200 is closed relative to the machine body 100, each conduction control assembly 540 is communicated to one second elastic piece part 552, respectively, in a manner of connection. Therefore, the number of the second elastic piece part 552 is greater than or equal to the number of the conduction control assembly 540. The plurality of first elastic piece parts 551 and the plurality of second elastic piece parts 552 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction. Specifically, the number of the second elastic piece part 552 is three, and the three first elastic piece parts 551 and the three second elastic piece parts 552 are alternately provided in the circumferential direction.

[0146]
[0147] Optionally, as shown in
[0148] Specifically, the above-mentioned power conversion module 161 may be an AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current) module (AC/DC converter). The electric energy storage module 163 is configured to supply power to the electronic components in the entire electric shaver 10, as shown in
[0149] Specifically, the charging control process of the above-mentioned electric shaver 10 shown in
[0150] Optionally, as shown in
[0151] In a possible embodiment, as shown in
[0152] For ease of understanding, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a circuit diagram of the electric shaver 10 as shown in
[0153] It should be noted that the unlabeled parts in
[0154] Furthermore, a corresponding algorithm program can also be burned in the control chip 120 to adjust the induction sensitivity of the electric shaver 10. In this way, it is easier to control the electric shaver 10 to have a suitable sensitivity, and by improving the sensitivity, the effect of automatic starting or stopping of the electric shaver 10 may be optimized. The unlabeled parts in
[0155] Optionally, a signal compensation circuit (not shown in the figure) may also be provided in the control chip 120, signal compensation is performed on the first induction signal and the second induction signal received by the control chip 120 through the signal compensation circuit, so as to avoid the problem of poor induction sensitivity caused by the difference in the detected capacitance value due to the difference of the human body, when used by different users.
[0156]
[0157] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first controller 121 may be directly communicated to the head portion induction element 210 to detect the electrical signal carried on the head portion induction element 210, that is, the capacitance, and when an increase in the capacitance is detected, the driving component 130 is controlled to be started, thereby driving the cutter head 200 to work; and when the detected capacitance decreases, the driving component 130 is controlled to be turned off, so that the cutter head 200 stops working, wherein controlling the driving component 130 to be started may be controlling the driving component 130 to be connected to the electric energy storage module 163, and controlling the driving component 130 to be turned off may be controlling the driving component 130 to be disconnected from the electric energy storage module 163, that is, by controlling the power on and off of the driving component 130, the starting and stopping of the driving component 130 may be controlled.
[0158]
[0159] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal generator 122 is configured to generate an initial alternating-current signal and transmit the initial alternating-current signal to the conductor member 123. The second controller 124 is configured to collect the target alternating-current signal output by the conductor member 123 after the initial alternating-current signal is transmitted to the conductor member 123, and determine whether the electrical signal carried on the cutter net cover 211 changes according to induction result generated by the target alternating-current signal, thereby controlling the driving component 130 to start and stop. When the driving component 130 is started, the driving component 130 drives the cutter head 200 to work; and when the driving component 130 is turned off, the cutter head 200 stops working accordingly. In the above, controlling the driving component 130 to be started may be controlling the driving component 130 to be connected to the electric power storage module 163, and controlling the driving component 130 to be turned off may be controlling the driving component 130 to be disconnected from the electric power storage module 163, that is, by controlling the power on and off of the driving component 130, the starting and stopping of the driving component 130 may be controlled.
[0160] Furthermore, the working principle of the control chip 120 shown in
[0161] Specifically, the process that the second controller 124 generates the induction result according to the intensity of the target alternating-current signal to determine whether the electrical signal carried on the cutter net cover 211 changes may be that when the intensity of the target alternating-current signal is less than a preset intensity threshold, it indicates that the electrical signal carried on the cutter net cover 211 increases, then the first induction result of controlling the driving component 130 to be started is generated; and when the intensity of the target alternating-current signal is greater than or equal to the preset intensity threshold, it indicates that the electrical signal carried on the cutter net cover 211 has not changed or decreased, then the second induction result representing that the electrical signal carried on the cutter net cover 211 has not changed or decreased is generated, the second induction result controls the driving component 130 to be turned off, and makes the cutter head 200 stop working.
[0162] To sum up, the electric shaver 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a machine body 100 and a cutter head 200. The machine body 100 includes a housing 110, a control chip 120, a driving component 130 and a handle induction element 140. The cutter head 200 is provided on the housing through the cutter head support 220, the control chip 120 and the driving component 130 are both provided inside the housing 110, and the control chip 120 is connected to the driving component 130. The cutter head 200 includes a cutter net cover 211 and an inner blade 212 provided inside the cutter net cover 211, and the cutter net cover 211 of the cutter head 200 is used as the head portion induction element 210 to be communicated to the control chip 120. The control chip 120 is configured to control the driving component 130 to start and stop when detecting that the electrical signal carried on the cutter net cover 211 changes. When the driving component 130 is started, the driving component 130 drives the cutter head 200 to work; and when the driving component 130 is turned off, the cutter head 200 stops working.
[0163] In this way, when the human body is close to or away from the cutter net cover 211, since the human body itself carries a certain capacitance, the electrical signal detected by the control chip 120 will be changed, and according to the change, the driving component 130 is controlled to be started to drive the cutter head 200 to work, or the driving component 130 is controlled to be turned off, so that the cutter head 200 stops working. For example, when the human body is close to the cutter net cover 211, the capacitance detected by the control chip 120 increases, and the driving component 130 is controlled to be started to drive the cutter head 200 to work; and when the human body is away from the cutter net cover 211, the capacitance detected by the control chip 120 decreases, and the driving component 130 is controlled to be turned off, so that the cutter head 200 stops working, thereby achieving the purpose of the present disclosure that when the user brings the cutter net cover 211 of the electric shaver 10 close to the target area, the electric shaver 10 may be automatically activated, and when the user moves the cutter net cover 211 of the electric shaver 10 away from the target area, the electric shaver 10 may be automatically turned off, which greatly enhances the convenience of using the electric shaver 10.
[0164] It should be noted that the specific position of the target area is determined according to the specific use, for example, the target area can be any area that requires shaving or hair removal, such as the face, head, and legs of the human body.

[0169] In this embodiment, the induction assembly is configured to detect whether the handheld household electrical appliance is in the state of being held by the operator, for example, the handheld household electrical appliance shown in
[0170] It should be noted that “the second induction signal when the skin approaches” herein should not be understood as a restriction on the second induction signal, in this embodiment, since the cutter net cover 211 is used as the component in the induction assembly that detects the distance between the electric shaver 10 and the application object, therefore, only the skin or the like having a certain capacitance can make the controller learn the change of the distance between the electric shaver 10 and the application object through the change of the electrical signal, it can be understood that in other embodiments, for example, when an infrared sensor is used to detect the distance between the electric shaver 10 and the application object, and when the object to be cut without capacitance approaches, the induction assembly can also learn the distance between the electric shaver 10 and the application object.
[0171] Compared with traditional handheld household electrical appliances, in which the start switch needs to be pressed or pushed and pulled in use, in this solution, the induction assembly is used to detect the state of the handheld household electrical appliance, and when the detection result satisfies the preset conditions in the controller, the controller controls the operation of the handheld household electrical appliance to achieve the purpose of use.
[0172] Specifically, the handheld household electrical appliance further includes a PCB board (printed circuit board), and the induction assembly and the controller are respectively connected to the PCB board, during use, the induction assembly transmits a signal to the PCB board, the signal is introduced into the controller through the circuit of the PCB board.

[0176] The action member is configured to realize the preset function of the present handheld household electrical appliance, and its structure depends on the type of the handheld household electrical appliance. For example, in the handheld household electrical appliance shown in
[0177] The support member is configured to assemble the action member, the induction assembly and the controller, it can be understood that the support member can be regarded as the general term of the above-mentioned housing 110 and the above-mentioned cutter head support 220 in the first electric shaver 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. The action end in the support member configured to be assembled with the action member can be regarded as the above-mentioned cutter head support 220, and the handheld end in the support member configured to be held by the operator can be regarded as the above-mentioned housing 110.
[0178] In an optional embodiment, the induction assembly and the controller are electrically connected through a shielded wire, and the shielded wire is configured to shield the electromagnetic field generated during the operation of the action member, so as to avoid false induction.
[0179] In an optional embodiment, the induction assembly includes:
[0180] a first sensor (that is, the head portion induction element 210), the first sensor is located at the action end (that is, the cutter head support 220), and configured to detect the distance between the electric shaver 10 and the application object; and

[0182] The first sensor is located at the action end, since the first sensor is close to the action member, the distance between the action member and the application object can be accurately detected by the first sensor. The second sensor is located at the handheld end, and can detect whether the handheld household electrical appliance is in the state of being held by the operator. Simultaneously, since the second sensor is only provided on the handheld end, the handheld position of operator can be limited to determine whether the equipment is held by the operator with correct gestures at this time, so as to avoid the operation of the equipment caused by the operator's misoperation or the personal injury caused by the operator's wrong operation.
