Abstract

The invention relates to an electric toothbrush handle and an electric toothbrush. The electric toothbrush handle comprises: a shell, in the inner cavity of which at least one light emitting element is arranged; and a shading part, comprising a light transmission plate arranged on the periphery of the at least one light emitting element, and a first coating arranged on the outer surface and/or the inner surface of the light transmission plate; wherein a light transmission area in a set shape is formed at a position corresponding to each light emitting element in the first coating; and the light of the light emitting element is capable of penetrating through the light transmission area so that the shape of the light transmission area is visible via the shell. The electric toothbrush handle can avoid damage and even failure of a display mark due to wear thereof.

Claims (36)

1. An electric toothbrush handle, comprising:

a shell, in an inner cavity of which at least one light emitting element is arranged; and

a shading part, comprising:

a light transmission plate arranged on a periphery of the at least one light emitting element;

a first coating arranged on an outer surface and/or an inner surface of the light transmission plate; and

a second coating arranged on an outer surface and/or an inner surface of the shell, wherein the second coating is adapted to transmit light of the light emitting element and shade ambient light;

wherein a light transmission area in a set shape is formed at a position corresponding to each light emitting element in the first coating; and

the light of the light emitting element is capable of penetrating through the light transmission area so that the shape of the light transmission area is visible via the shell.

2. The electric toothbrush handle of claim 1 , wherein the shell is of a transparent structure.

3. The electric toothbrush handle of claim 1 , wherein a driving control part is also arranged in the shell, and comprises:

a motor, with a power output end connected with a brush head installed on the electric toothbrush handle, and used for driving the brush head into motion; and

a control panel, used for controlling the motor and the light emitting element.

4. The electric toothbrush handle of claim 3 , wherein the light transmission plate and the light emitting element are both fixed on the control panel.

5. The electric toothbrush handle of claim 3 , wherein a support is also arranged in the shell;

one side of the support is provided with a battery holder which is matched with a battery cover to form an installation space for a battery;

the control panel is fixed on the other side of the support; and

a tail end of the support is axially limited via a bottom cover.

6. The electric toothbrush handle of claim 3 , wherein at least one switch for selecting a target working mode is also arranged on the shell, and the switch is electrically connected with the control panel.

7. An electric toothbrush, comprising an electric toothbrush handle and at least one brush head which can be installed at one end of the electric toothbrush handle, wherein the electric toothbrush handle comprising:

a shell, in an inner cavity of which at least one light emitting element is arranged; and

a shading part, comprising:

a light transmission plate arranged on a periphery of the at least one light emitting element;

a first coating arranged on an outer surface and/or an inner surface of the light transmission plate; and

a second coating arranged on an outer surface and/or an inner surface of the shell, wherein the second coating is adapted to transmit light of the light emitting element and shade ambient light;

wherein a light transmission area in a set shape is formed at a position corresponding to each light emitting element in the first coating; and

the light of the light emitting element is capable of penetrating through the light transmission area so that the shape of the light transmission area is visible via the shell.

8. The electric toothbrush of claim 7 , wherein the shell is of a transparent structure.

9. The electric toothbrush of claim 7 , wherein a driving control part is also arranged in the shell, and comprises:

a motor, with a power output end connected with the brush head installed on the electric toothbrush handle, and used for driving the brush head into motion; and

a control panel, used for controlling the motor and the light emitting element.

10. The electric toothbrush of claim 9 , wherein the light transmission plate and the light emitting element are both fixed on the control panel.

11. The electric toothbrush of claim 9 , wherein a support is also arranged in the shell;

one side of the support is provided with a battery holder which is matched with a battery cover to form an installation space for a battery;

the control panel is fixed on the other side of the support; and
