Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/261957
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oral care system comprising a smart toothbrush and a smart sterilizer, the system sterilizing a toothbrush head by using an induction heating (IH) principle. An oral care system according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a toothbrush; and a sterilizer comprising a current induction device in which a head of the toothbrush is located, the current induction device having a coil wound around the outside thereof, wherein: the toothbrush comprises multiple holes formed at an equal interval through an upper surface of the head and multiple anchors formed of a conductive material, the upper surface having a predetermined thickness, the anchors being inserted into the multiple holes in a state where toothbrush bristles are implanted therein, respectively; and as a high-frequency current is supplied to the coil, the current induction device may generate high-frequency magnetic flux in the multiple anchors to induce an eddy current, so as to cause the multiple anchors to be heated by heat generated by their own electrical resistance.
