Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hair curlers, in particular to a steam structure of a hair curler. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the change of aesthetics, more and more people like to keep wavy curly hairstyle. Not everyone has the gene for natural curly hair, so some curling irons are needed to assist in curling.
[0003] The curling irons on the market are generally divided into two categories: direct heat type and steam type. The general direct heat type curling iron uses electric current to heat the heating element MCH, PTC or heating wire of the curling iron, and then transfers the heat to the aluminum plate or ceramic plate to heat the hair so that the hair maintains the same shape as the roller after heating, and finally takes shape. However, the direct heat type has high requirements on materials, lacks safety, and is easy to damage the hair. The steam type heats the hair by heating water and other fluids. It is closer to natural processing, less damage to hair, and has low material requirements, but still has good safety.
[0004] In the prior art, there are two ways to heat the steam curling iron: one is to directly heat the water in the integrally formed water tank and directly use the steam to curl the hair through the steam hole. This method easily causes the heated water to leak or splash, which is not safe and has poor user experience. Another method is to separate the heated water and the generated steam through an extremely complex sealing structure to reduce the problems of the aforementioned method. However, the complex structure of this method leads to high cost of the curling iron, which is not suitable for popularization and faces great market competition pressure. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the above problems in the background technology, the utility model provides a steam structure of a hair curler.
[0006] The solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:
[0007] A steam structure of a curling iron comprises: a sealing plate, a first heater bracket, a second heater bracket, a first heater and a second heater with heating function, the first heater bracket is a semi-cylindrical body, the first heater is arranged in the first heater bracket, the second heater bracket is a semi-cylindrical body, the second heater is arranged in the second heater bracket, the first heater bracket and the second heater bracket are symmetrically distributed and respectively adhered to the two sides of the sealing plate, the plane where the axis of the first heater bracket is located is a first heating surface, the first heating surface is formed with a first groove, the first heating surface divides the first groove into a plurality of mutually connected chambers through a plurality of protrusions, the arc surface of the first heater bracket is a first arc surface, the first arc surface is formed with a plurality of first steam holes connected to the first groove, the plane where the axis of the second heater bracket is located is a second heating surface, the second heating surface is formed with a second groove, the second heating surface divides the second groove into a plurality of mutually connected chambers through a plurality of protrusions, the arc surface of the second heater bracket is a second arc surface, and the second arc surface is formed with a plurality of second steam holes connected to the second groove.
[0008] According to the steam structure of the curling iron involved in the utility model, optionally, the first heater bracket has a hollow channel, the first heater bracket is formed with a first mounting portion that is embedded in and fixes the first heater, and the first mounting portion includes a first fixing portion formed on the other side of the first heating surface and a first reinforcement portion formed on the first arc surface.

[0010] According to the steam structure of the hair curler of the present invention, optionally, the sealing plate is made of silica gel.
[0011] According to the steam structure of the hair curler of the present invention, optionally, the first heater and the second heater are PTC heating bodies.
[0012] According to the steam structure of the hair curler involved in the utility model, optionally, the first heater bracket or the second heater bracket is formed with a water inlet, and the water inlet is arranged to communicate with the first groove or the second groove.
[0013] According to the steam structure of the hair curler involved in the utility model, optionally, the sealing plate matches the shape of the first heating surface and / or the second heating surface and has a hollow area matching the first groove and / or the second groove.
[0014] According to the steam structure of the curling iron involved in the utility model, optionally, it also includes a shell in a hollow cylindrical shape, the shell is formed with a plurality of third steam holes whose positions match the first steam hole and / or the second steam hole, and the sealing plate, the first heater bracket, the second heater bracket, the first heater and the second heater are arranged in the shell in a manner that the axis is parallel to the axis of the shell.
[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0016] 1. The heater and the heated water are isolated by the heater bracket and sealed by the sealing plate, which can improve the safety of the curling iron and effectively prevent the heated water from leaking.

It can achieve the function of automatic constant temperature and effectively improve the safety of the curling iron.
[0019] 4. The sealing plate has a hollow design, which enables the chamber of the first heater support and the chamber of the second heater support to cooperate to form a larger chamber. In this case, more water can be stored, thereby increasing the use time of the curling iron.
