  1. Electric Toothbrush Presentation By: Alpar Turk, Rob Bongiorno, Jonathan Franz and Harsh Tulsiani

  2. Sequence of Design Activities • Identified desired toothbrush qualities by customer needs survey. • Analyzed the toothbrush to learn its pros and cons • Dissected toothbrush to understand functionality • Researched patens for toothbrushes • Drew up different ideas to enhance the toothbrush • Made pugh charts to find best designs • Drew sketches of model tooth brush • Created a soldworks model of the toothbrush • Finalized project to present new and improved toothbrush design

  4. Problem Statement: To design a stable toothbrush that is durable, compact, user friendly and eco friendly

  5. External Search: Patent Search

  6. External Research: Benchmarking

  7. The final design includes a solar panel for added sustainability, steal rods and gears in order to preserve their length, and a large body made of strengthened plastic to prevent cracks and breaks.

  8. Concepts

  9. All group members made different Pugh charts on different parts of the toothbrush. • Each Pugh chart looks at 4 concepts.

  10. Final design As a final design, our group has decided to choose the concepts below: • For Brush Body : Concept 2 • For Power Generation: Concept 4 • For Energy Mechanism: Concept 4 • For Brush Head : Concept 1

  11. ToothBrush model (exterior)

  12. ToothBrush Model (Interior)

  13. The Toothbrush’s Mechanism Battery Solar Panel The in built battery of the toothbrush is recharged by the solar panel as shown below Solar Panel

  14. Motor The rechargeable battery supplies power to a motor as shown below

  15. Large Gear Small Gear The motor is attached to a small gear that rotates a larger gear so as to increase power in the brush head.

  16. Brush Head Pivots that facilitate in oscillating motion The gears then provide movement to pivots which create an oscillating movement in the brush head.

  17. Conclusion Based on our consumer needs the toothbrush is mainly made for durable and compact purposes. The body of the brush is durable due to the single piece cover that incorporates the mechanism of the toothbrush and the solar panel. As a result, if the brush were to fall the damage would be none to minimalistic. Moreover due to the compact body the toothbrush is not only travel/user friendly but also make the internal mechanism more durable. This is because there is a very slim chance of small parts detaching in the toothbrush’s mechanism.
