In FIG. 16, (a) is a timing chart (charge stop waveform) of the opening / closing control of the first switch means 171 by the second control unit 150 of the electric shaver S. (B) is a timing chart (pumping motor waveform) of on / off control of the pumping motor 72 by the first control unit 5 of the electric shaver cleaning device W, and (c) is a second control unit 150 of the electric shaver S. 2 shows a timing chart of the on / off control of the motor 130 by (motor waveform of the electric razor S).

  As shown in FIG. 16A, when the cleaning mode command is given from the first control unit 5 of the cleaning device W for the electric razor S, the second control unit 150 of the electric razor S gives a predetermined value to the first switch means 171. After a predetermined number of times (for example, four times in FIG. 16) of charging the battery B by giving a Lo signal for a time (for example, about 15 seconds) and closing it, the first switch means 171 is given a predetermined time (for example, Open / close control is performed by giving a Hi signal only for about 140 seconds).

Thus, by charging the battery B, it is possible to replenish in advance the power required for driving the inner blades 102, 102 by the motor 130 described later.
Such a charging operation is executed regardless of the amount of electricity stored in the battery, unlike a charging operation in a charging mode described later.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the first control unit 5 of the electric shaver cleaning device W performs an intermittent operation by applying a Hi signal to the pumping motor 72 every predetermined time (for example, about 13 seconds). Is performed a predetermined number of times (four times in FIG. 16), and then a high signal is given to the pumping motor 72 for a predetermined time (for example, about 140 seconds) to perform on / off control for continuous operation. Note that, as shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the charging section in which the battery B is intermittently charged is set to an area where the pumping motor 72 is not operating.

  As described above, by intermittently driving the pumping motor 72, the cleaning liquid can be supplied to and discharged from the head portion 100 of the electric shaver S, and thereby the soot and sebum in the head portion 100 are lifted. It is possible to eliminate wrinkles and sebum that have been lifted by the suction force when the cleaning liquid is discharged.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16C, the second control unit 150 of the electric razor S receives a cleaning mode command from the first control unit 5 of the electric razor cleaning apparatus W for a predetermined time (for example, 120). After waiting for about (seconds), on / off control is performed in which a Hi signal is given to the motor 130 every predetermined time (for example, about 3 seconds) and intermittent operation is performed a predetermined number of times (10 times in FIG. 16).

  In this way, by intermittently driving the motor 130 and the inner blades 102 and 102 while the cleaning liquid is continuously supplied into the head unit 100, wrinkles and sebum adhering to the surfaces of the inner blades 102 and 102 are removed. It can be lifted and efficiently washed and removed by the impact at the time of startup.

  FIG. 17 is a timing chart for explaining the drying mode control. In FIG. 17, (a) is a timing chart (charging stop waveform) of the opening / closing control of the first switch means 171 by the second control unit 150 of the electric shaver S. (B) is a timing chart (blower drive waveform) of on / off control of the blower 50 by the first control unit 5 of the electric razor cleaning device W, and (c) is a motor 130 by the second control unit 150 of the electric razor S. The timing chart of the on / off control (motor waveform of the electric razor S) is shown respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, the second control unit 150 of the electric razor S performs drying to the first switch means 171 when a drying mode command is given from the first control unit 5 of the electric razor cleaning device W. During the time (for example, for about 1800 seconds), an ON / OFF control is performed to stop charging of the battery B by giving a Hi signal and opening it.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17B, the first control unit 5 of the electric razor cleaning apparatus W is turned on by continuously supplying the blower 50 with a Hi signal during the drying time (for example, about 1800 seconds).・ Off control is performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17C, the second control unit 150 of the electric razor S receives a cleaning mode command from the first control unit 5 of the electric razor cleaning apparatus W for a predetermined time (for example, 800). After waiting for about (seconds), on / off control is performed in which a Hi signal is given to the motor 130 for a predetermined time (for example, about 3 seconds) to perform intermittent operation a predetermined number of times (five times in FIG. 17).

  Thus, by intermittently driving the motor 130 during the drying operation, the inner blades 102 and 102 are intermittently driven, and the cleaning liquid remaining on the inner blades 102 and 102 can be efficiently dried.

  By the way, when it is determined that the signal is given from the charging button 42 in the above-described step S8, the first control unit 5 of the electric razor cleaning device W performs the cleaning after the cleaning mode for cleaning the head unit 100 of the electric razor S. The switch unit 85 shown in FIG. 7 is determined by performing a drying mode for drying the head unit 100 and determining that an operation for performing charging is designated regardless of the amount of electricity stored in the battery B built in the electric shaver S. Is closed (step S20), and power is supplied from the socket 23 to the plug pins 121 and 121 of the electric shaver S connected thereto, and then the above-described cleaning mode control (step S21) is followed by the drying mode control (step S22). Execute.

  When the cleaning mode control and the drying mode control are completed, the first control unit 5 sends a second charging command for performing charging regardless of the amount of electricity stored in the battery B via the socket 23 and the plug pin 121 connected thereto. The electric razor S is given (step S23).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S7 described above that the signal is again given from the selection button 41, the first control unit 5 resets the timer and starts measuring time (step S30), and whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. Is determined (step S31). When determining that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the first control unit 5 determines whether or not a signal is given from the charging button 42 (step S32).

  The first control unit 5 repeats the operations of step S31 and step S32 until it determines that a signal is given from the charge button 42 in step S32, or until it is determined that a predetermined time has passed in step S31. When a predetermined time has passed without being given, the drying mode is performed without performing the cleaning mode, and the operation for performing charging is performed if necessary according to the amount of electricity stored in the battery B built in the electric shaver S. 7 is closed (step S40), power is supplied from the socket 23 to the plug pins 121 and 121 of the electric shaver S connected thereto, and then the above-described drying mode control is performed. (Step S41) is executed.

  When the drying mode control is completed, the first control unit 5 sends a first charging command to the socket 23 and the first charging command to perform charging when necessary according to the amount of electricity stored in the battery B built in the electric razor S. The electric razor S is given through the connected plug pin 121 (step S42).

  On the other hand, if the first control unit 5 determines that a signal is given from the charge button 42 in step S32 before the predetermined time elapses, the first control unit 5 performs the drying mode without performing the cleaning mode, and is built in the electric shaver S. The switch means 85 is closed (step S50), and the plug pin of the electric shaver S connected to the socket 23 is determined by determining that the operation for performing charging is specified regardless of the amount of electricity stored in the battery B. After supplying power to 121 and 121, the above-described drying mode control (step S51) is executed.

  When the drying mode control is completed, the first control unit 5 sends a second charging command for performing charging regardless of the amount of electricity stored in the battery B to the electric shaver S via the socket 23 and the plug pin 121 connected thereto. (Step S52).

  By the way, when the signal is given from the charging button 42 in step S2 without being given a signal from the selection button 41, the first control unit 5 is operated to perform the charging mode without performing the cleaning mode and the drying mode. The switch means 85 is closed (step S70), and power is supplied from the socket 23 to the plug pins 121 and 121 of the electric razor S connected thereto, and then the amount of electricity stored in the battery B is determined. First, a second charging command for performing charging is given to the electric shaver S through the socket 23 and the plug pin 121 connected thereto (step S71).

  Then, when the first control unit 5 outputs the first charge command or the second charge command in steps S13, S23, S42, S52, and S71, the first control unit 5 resets the timer and starts measuring time (step S80) for a predetermined time. It is determined whether (for example, 180 minutes) has elapsed (step S81). The first control unit 5 waits until it is determined in step S81 that the predetermined time has elapsed, and when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, after outputting a charge stop signal to the electric shaver S (step S82), the switch means 85 is switched. Open (step S83).

  Thus, only when the cleaning mode, the drying mode, and the charging mode are performed, the switch unit 85 is closed and power is supplied to the socket 23 and the plug pins 121 and 121 connected thereto. The electric corrosion between the plug pins 121 and 121 can be prevented as much as possible, and the life of the socket 23 and the plug pins 121 and 121 can be extended.

  In addition, even when the signal is given from the charge button 42 in the above, the first control unit 5 outputs a signal from the charge button 42 when the signal is given from the selection button 41 within a predetermined time from the timing. The corresponding action is not executed.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a control procedure by the second control unit 150 of the electric shaver S shown in FIG.
The second control unit 150 of the electric razor S performs detection control of the voltage of the battery B built in the electric razor S at a predetermined interval (step S90).

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a procedure of the battery voltage detection control shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 15, the second control unit 150 determines whether or not it is the detection timing (step S91), and when it is determined that it is the detection timing, it takes in the detection value from the detection circuit 160 described above ( Step S92). A threshold is set in advance in the second controller 150, and the second controller 150 compares the detected value with the threshold to determine whether or not the detected value is equal to or less than the threshold (step S93).

  Then, when the detected value is equal to or smaller than the threshold value, the second control unit 150 sets a flag in the flag setting unit 151 illustrated in FIG. 8 (Step S94). On the other hand, if the detected value is not less than or equal to the threshold value, the second controller 150 skips step S94 and returns.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, the second control unit 150 determines whether or not the signal related to the above-described cleaning mode control is given from the electric razor washing apparatus W (step S100), and the signal is given. If it is determined that it has been performed, the corresponding drive control is executed (step S101).

  If the second control unit 150 determines in step S100 that the signal related to the cleaning mode control is not given, the second control unit 150 determines whether or not the signal related to the drying mode control is given from the electric razor cleaning device W. If it is determined (step S110) and it is determined that the signal is given, the corresponding drive control is executed (step S111).

  The second control unit 150 determines whether or not the first charge command signal is supplied from the electric razor cleaning device W when neither the signal related to the cleaning mode control nor the signal related to the drying mode control is supplied. If it is not given (step S120), it is determined whether or not the second charge command signal is given (step S121). If the second control unit 150 determines that no signal is given, the process returns to step S90.

  On the other hand, if the second control unit 150 determines that the first charge command signal is given in step S120, the second control unit 150 refers to the flag setting unit 151 to determine whether or not a flag is set there (step S122). When it is determined that the flag is set, the first switch means 171 shown in FIG. 8 is closed and the battery B is charged (step S123). The second control unit 150 determines whether or not the detection value from the detection circuit 160 has reached a predetermined value determined corresponding to full charge (step S124), and if not, the electric shaver cleaning is performed. It is determined whether or not a charging stop command signal is given from the device W (step S125). The second control unit 150 repeats Step S124 and Step S125 until it determines that the detected value has reached the predetermined value, or determines that the charge stop command signal has been given, and then opens the first switch means 171. Then, charging of the battery B is stopped (step S126), and the flag set in the flag setting unit 151 is released (step S127).

  Thereby, when the amount of electricity stored in the battery B is larger than a predetermined threshold value, charging to the battery B is not performed, and when the amount of electricity stored in the battery B is equal to or less than the threshold value, the battery B is not charged. Since charging is performed, it is avoided that charging is performed until the battery B appropriately discharges the electric capacity. Therefore, each time the electric razor S is used, even if the electric razor S is cleaned by the electric razor cleaning device W, the electric capacity that can be stored in the battery B built in the electric razor S is drastically reduced. And the life of the battery B can be made as long as possible.

  On the other hand, if the second control unit 150 determines that the second charging command signal is given in step S121, the second control unit 150 skips step S122 and executes the operations from step S123 to step S125 described above to execute the flag setting unit 151. Regardless of the state, that is, regardless of the amount of electricity stored in the battery B, the battery B is charged.

  As a result, when there is a plan that the electric razor S cannot be charged for a certain period, such as travel or business trip, the battery B can be fully charged in advance regardless of the amount of electricity stored in the battery B. it can.

  On the other hand, the second charging command signal is given from the electric razor cleaning device W to the electric razor S only when the user performs a predetermined operation on the electric razor cleaning device W at an arbitrary timing as described above. The electric capacity that can be stored by the battery B does not decrease rapidly.

  In the present embodiment, when the first charging signal is given to the second control unit 150 of the electric razor S, the second control unit 150 refers to the flag setting unit 151 and sets a flag there. If the flag is not set, the first switch means 171 is opened to prevent the battery B from being charged. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the electric shaver S At the timing when the drying operation is completed, the first control unit 5 takes the detection value from the detection circuit 160 to the second control unit 150 and gives a command to transmit the detection value to the first control unit 5, and the detection value is transmitted. In this case, it is determined whether or not the detected value is equal to or less than a threshold value set in advance in the first control unit 5, and if so, a command to close the first switch means 171 is given to the second control unit 150. If not, A command to the first switch means 171 to open only appropriate time may be given to the second control unit 150.

Instead of transmitting the detection value, the second control unit 150 may cause the first control unit 5 to transmit the result of determining whether or not the flag is set in the flag setting unit 151.
As a result, as before, charging is avoided until the battery B appropriately discharges the amount of electricity, and each time the electric shaver S is used, the electric shaver S is cleaned by the electric shaver cleaning device W. However, it is possible to prevent the electric capacity that can be stored in the battery B incorporated in the electric razor S from being rapidly reduced, and to extend the life of the battery B as much as possible.

  In the present embodiment, the electric razor cleaning apparatus W is configured to discharge the cleaning liquid from the nozzle 53 into the head portion 100 of the electric razor S. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the head portion 100 is not limited to this. It may be a configuration in which the cleaning liquid stored in the cleaning container is immersed, a configuration in which the cleaning liquid is jetted to the outer blade 101 of the head unit 100 and introduced into the head unit 100, or the like. Not too long.
