CA 2225698

An electric toothbrush (10) with an adaptive load sensor (12) is disclosed. The toothbrush of this invention includes a brushhead (16) that is vibrated by a drive assembly (18). The load sensor monitors the current drawn by the drive assembly to determine the mechanical load to which the toothbrush is exposed. The load sensor assembly produces an adaptive threshold signal that represents the instantaneous maximum pressure load. If the sensed load voltage exceeds the adaptive threshold signal, the load sensor assembly deenergizes the drive assembly and generates an alarm signal so as to give the user a warning that the toothbrush has been excessively loaded.

L'invention concerne une brosse à dents électrique (10) comportant un capteur de charge (12) adaptatif. Cette brosse à dents comprend une tête (16) qu'un ensemble de commande (18) soumet à des vibrations. Le capteur de charge contrôle le courant utilisé par l'ensemble de commande, afin de déterminer la charge mécanique à laquelle la brosse à dents est exposée. L'ensemble capteur de charge produit un signal de seuil adaptatif représentant la charge instantanée s'exerçant avec un maximum de pression. Si la tension de la charge détectée dépasse le signal de seuil adaptatif, l'ensemble capteur de charge met l'ensemble de commande hors fonction et émet un signal d'alarme, de manière à avertir l'utilisateur qu'une force excessive a été appliquée à la brosse à dents.
