Small Electrical Appliance And Electric Motor Drive Unit For A Small Electrical Appliance
First Claim
1. A small electrical appliance, comprisinga head element which carries out a rotational movement and a translational vibration movement;
- a housing;
an electric motor drive unit in the housing, with a first output for generating a rotational movement relative to the housing, which includes at least a first component of the electric motor drive unit, and a second output for generating a translational vibration movement relative to the housing, which includes at least a second component of the electric motor drive unit;
a shaft which is connected to the first component of the electric motor drive unit in order to transmit the rotational movement to the head element; and
a rocker which is connected to the second component of the electric motor drive unit in order to transmit the translational vibration movement to the head element;
wherein the first component and the second component are decoupled in such a way that the first component does not follow the vibration movement of the second component.

7. An electric motor drive unit for a small electrical appliance, comprising:
-
at least one first and at least one second vibratable component; a coil for generating a magnetic field; a first magnet arrangement which includes at least one first permanent magnet which, in cooperation with a magnetic field generated by the coil, generates a force for inducing a rotational vibration of the at least one first vibratable component; a second magnet arrangement which includes at least one second permanent magnet which, in cooperation with a magnetic field generated by the coil, generates a force for inducing a linear vibration movement of the at least one second vibratable component; and at least one flux conducting element which is arranged in such a way that it conducts magnetic flux generated by the coil to interact with the at least one second permanent magnet; wherein the at least one flux conducting element includes a metal yoke which passes through the coil windings. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
