The air suction component may be disposed in the gripping portion 1 or in the working portion 2. In the present embodiment, the air suction component is disposed in the gripping portion 1.

[0035] The grip portion 1 has a first end portion 11 connected to the working portion 2, and a second end portion 12 away from the working portion 2 and used for air intake. The second end portion 12 is penetrated by a cable 3 to power the hair dryer 100 as a whole. The end of the cable 3 away from the second end portion 12 is provided with a plug (not shown in the figure), which can provide an electrical connection to a main power source or a battery pack.

[0036] The working part 2 includes a wind tube shell 21 forming a cavity, a central wind tube 22 arranged in the cavity and used to form an air outlet channel, and a heating component 23 and a circuit board 24 arranged on the central wind tube 22. The hair dryer is started to make the suction component, the heating component 23 and the circuit board 24 work, the suction component introduces external airflow into the air outlet channel, and the heating component 23 is arranged on the airflow path to heat the airflow.

[0037] The air suction component can be a fan and a motor connected to the fan to drive the fan to rotate, and the motor is electrically connected to the circuit board 24.

[0038] In order to make the hair dryer 100 release water ions while drying the target object to prevent it from drying or damaging, the hair dryer 100 further includes a water ion generator 4, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 24. The water ion generator 4 is arranged on the air outlet channel so that the airflow blown out by the hair dryer 100 contains water ions. The air outlet channel has an air outlet, and the water ion generator 4 can be arranged in the air outlet channel or at the air outlet, which is not specifically limited here and depends on the actual situation. Please refer to Figure 3 , wherein the water ion generating device 4 includes a frame 41, a first electrode 42, a second electrode 43 and a condensation component.

[0039] Please combine Figure 4The frame 41 has a first mounting portion 411 and a second mounting portion 412 connected to the first mounting portion 411, the first electrode 42 is mounted on the first mounting portion 411, and the second electrode 43 is mounted on the second mounting portion 412. The first mounting portion 411 includes a base 413 and a receiving cavity 414 arranged on the base 413, and the first electrode 42 is fixedly arranged in the receiving cavity 414. The second mounting portion 412 includes a support column 412 connected to the first mounting portion 411, and specifically, the support column 412 is arranged on the base 413. In order to better connect the second electrode 43 with the support column 412, the support column 412 has a protrusion 416, and the second electrode 43 is also provided with a positioning hole 431 engaged with the protrusion 416. In order to facilitate the installation of the second electrode 43 and the support column 412, the protrusion 416 is arranged on the top of the support column 412 in the height direction of the water ion generating device 4. In this embodiment, the number of the support columns 412 is 4, so as to better fix and install the second electrode 43. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of support columns 412 may be other, which is not specifically limited here and depends on the actual situation.

[0040] Please combine Figure 5 , the frame 41 is also provided with a mounting hole 415 connected to the working part 2, and the mounting hole 415 is provided on both sides of the frame 41 to fix the water ion generator 4 on the working part 2. Specifically, the mounting hole 415 is provided on both sides of the base 413. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting hole 415 can also be provided at other positions of the frame 41, which is not specifically limited here and depends on the actual situation. When the water ion generator 4 is installed with the working part 2, a fastener needs to be used to pass through the mounting hole 415 and one end of the fastener needs to be abutted against the mounting hole 415. The fastener is a conventional structure such as a bolt, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Please combine Figure 6 The first electrode 42 has a first body section 421 and a second body section 422 connected to the first body section 421. The first body section 421 protrudes out of the receiving cavity 414, and the second body section 422 is electrically connected to the circuit board 24. In this embodiment, the first body section 421 and the second body section 422 are vertically arranged. Of course, in other embodiments, the angle between the first body section 421 and the second body section 422 can also be other, which is not specifically limited here and depends on the actual situation. Among them, the end of the first body section 421 is needle-shaped, so that it is easy to discharge at the needle tip and the electric load is gathered at the needle tip.

[0042] As described above, the second electrode 43 is mounted on the top of the support column 412 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 24 to form a discharge zone with the first electrode 42. A discharge hole 432 is provided on the second electrode 43, and a positioning hole 431 is provided on the outside of the discharge hole 432. In the present embodiment, the discharge hole 432 is a circular hole structure, which can make the overall structure of the water ion generating device 4 more compact. Of course, in other embodiments, the structure of the discharge hole 432 may also be other, which is not specifically limited here, and depends on the actual situation. In order to make the discharge zone more charged when performing the water ion generation operation, the first body section 421 of the first electrode 42 is located in the middle position of the circular hole structure, so that the first electrode 42 is radially distributed along the centerline axis of the discharge hole 432 when discharging, so as to improve the generation of water ions during the water ion generation operation.

[0043] The condensation assembly is arranged in the discharge area and arranged on the outside of the first electrode 42. The condensation assembly includes a condensation sheet connected to the first mounting portion 411 and a condensation needle 44 arranged on the condensation sheet. The condensation sheet is arranged on the base 413 and is located below the first electrode 42. The condensation needle 44 is arranged around the outside of the first electrode 42. At least one condensation needle 44 is arranged. In order to increase the condensation speed and water ion concentration, in this embodiment, the number of condensation needles 44 is set to three, and the three condensation needles 44 are evenly arranged on the outside of the first electrode 42 to surround the first electrode 42. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of condensation needles 44 can be other, as long as the corresponding technical effect is achieved, and it is not specifically limited here, and it depends on the actual situation.

[0044] The condensation needle 44 includes a body 442 and a bending portion 441 connected to the body 442. The bending portion 441 has a tip and bends toward the first electrode 42. The bending portion 441 allows water vapor in the air to condense better at its tip and allows condensed water to be ionized and decomposed more quickly and conveniently.

[0045] The water ion generator 4 also includes a heat sink 45 connected to the condensation assembly. In the height direction of the water ion generator 4, the heat sink 45 is connected to the condensation sheet and is located below the condensation sheet. The material of the heat sink 45 can be aluminum, etc., and is not specifically limited here, as long as the heat dissipation effect is achieved.

[0046] The condensation component is used to condense the water vapor in the air into condensed water on the surface of the condensation component, and the discharge zone is used to ionize and decompose the condensed water. Specifically, during the operation of the water ion generator 4, the condensation component is used to reduce the temperature of the water vapor in the air to below the air dew point temperature, so that the water vapor condenses into condensed water on the surface of the condensation needle 44. Then high voltage electricity is applied to the first electrode 42, and low voltage electricity is applied to the second electrode 43. A pressure difference is formed between the first electrode 42 and the second electrode 43 to form a discharge zone, and then a multi-threaded parallel discharge is formed to quickly ionize and decompose the water on the surface of the condensation needle 44, crush it, and produce a nano-particle water ion group rich in active oxygen such as hydroxyl free radicals and oxygen free radicals, and then release it to prevent the blown target from drying or damage, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] In summary: by providing the first electrode 42 and the second electrode 43 forming the discharge area, the condensation component is arranged in the discharge area, the condensation component condenses the water vapor in the air into condensed water, and the condensed water is ionized and decomposed under the action of the discharge area to generate a large amount of water ions, which is convenient and fast;

[0048] The condensation needle 44 is provided with a main body 442 and a bending portion 441 connected to the main body 442, wherein the bending portion 441 has a tip and is bent toward the first electrode 42, so as to generate condensed water better and faster, and generate more water ions under the action of the discharge area, thereby increasing the condensation speed and water ion concentration;

[0049] The second electrode 43 is provided with a discharge hole 432 of a circular hole structure, which can make the discharge area more charged when performing the water ion generation operation, thereby increasing the water ion decomposition speed, which is quick and convenient.

[0050] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
