[0042] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] The core of the present invention is to provide a hair curler that can be rotated to different preset angles as needed to automatically create a variety of different styles with easy operation. Another core of the present invention is to provide a hair curling method applied to the hair curler.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1-8 .

[0045] This specific embodiment discloses a hair curler, comprising a handle portion 2, a hair curling portion 1, a driving portion 3 for driving the hair curling portion 1 to rotate, a sensing element 4, and a receiving element 5;

[0046] At least one of the sensing element 4 and the receiving element 5 is provided in multiple numbers and is arranged at different positions along the circumference of the handle; one of the sensing element 4 and the receiving element 5 can rotate synchronously with the curling part 1, and the other of the sensing element 4 and the receiving element 5 is fixedly provided to trigger different sensing elements 4 or trigger different receiving elements 5.

[0047] In the process of using the curling iron provided in this specific embodiment, the desired curling angle is first input, the hair is clamped into the curling part 1, and the curling part 1 is controlled to rotate. During the rotation process, different receiving elements 5 or different sensing elements 4 are triggered until the curling part 1 rotates to a preset trigger angle. At this time, the curling part 1 stops rotating and stays for a preset styling time; then the curling part 1 is moved downward or upward along the hair by a distance, and the curling part 1 is controlled to automatically rotate in the opposite direction by the preset trigger angle. The action of moving the curling part 1 downward or upward along the hair by a distance and controlling the curling part 1 to automatically rotate in the opposite direction by the preset trigger angle is repeated until the styling is received and the automatic curling is completed.

[0048] It should be noted that the preset trigger angle mentioned in this specific embodiment, that is, the curling styling mode selected by keystroke or manual input during the curling process, is triggered when the curling unit 1 rotates to the preset trigger angle, and the receiving element 5 or the sensing element 4 sends a corresponding signal to the controller. The controller determines whether the curling unit 1 has rotated to the correct position based on the received signal, and controls the curling unit 1 to continue the operation.

[0049] Compared with the existing technology, during the actual curling process, by inputting different preset trigger angles, the curling part 1 will automatically stop rotating when triggering the corresponding sensing part 4 or receiving part 5. Different preset trigger angles will result in different rotation angles of the curling part 1, which can achieve automatic curling of different styles, and the operation process is convenient and easy to carry out.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, there are multiple receiving elements 5 , and the multiple receiving elements 5 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the handle.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the number of receiving elements 5 is 4, and the 4 receiving elements 5 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, corresponding to four different positions of 0° or 360°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. Of course, the number of receiving elements 5 can also be other values determined according to actual conditions.

[0052] During specific use, when the curling part 1 rotates to a preset angle position, it will trigger the corresponding receiving part 5, causing the corresponding receiving part 5 to send a relevant signal to the controller. The controller determines whether the curling part 1 has rotated to the correct position based on the signal received from the corresponding receiving part 5, and controls the curling part 1 to perform the next action.

[0053] like Figure 4 、 5As shown, the sensing element 4 and the receiving element 5 are located in the same plane perpendicular to the axis of the handle, and multiple receiving elements 5 are arranged around the sensing element 4. The sensing element 4 is mounted on a rotating shaft 31 connected to the curling unit 1. The sensing element 4 is arranged toward the receiving element and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 31 and the curling unit 1. One end of the rotating shaft 31 is connected to the driving element, and the other end is connected to the curling unit 1.

[0054] During actual use, the driving unit 3 drives the rotating shaft 31 to drive the curling unit 1 to rotate. At the same time, the sensing element 4 is installed on the rotating shaft 31 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 31. During the rotation of the sensing element 4, different receiving elements 5 are triggered. When the receiving element 5 at a preset triggering angle is triggered, this receiving element 5 or the sensing element 4 sends a signal to the controller. After receiving the corresponding signal, the controller stops the rotation of the curling unit 1 to style the hair. After the preset styling time is reached, the curling unit 1 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple receiving elements 5, and the receiving elements 5 are arranged along the circumference of the handle. The sensing element 4 and the receiving element 5 are arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction of the handle. The multiple receiving elements 5 are arranged along the same arc. The sensing element 4 is arranged on the curling part 1 and rotates synchronously with the curling part 1.

[0056] During actual use, the driving unit 3 drives the rotating shaft 31 to drive the curling unit 1 to rotate, and the sensing element 4 rotates synchronously with the curling unit 1. During the rotation process, different receiving elements 5 are triggered. When the receiving element 5 at a preset triggering angle is triggered, this receiving element 5 or the sensing element 4 sends a signal to the controller. After receiving the corresponding signal, the controller stops the curling unit 1 from rotating to style the hair. After the preset styling time is reached, the curling unit 1 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0057] Of course, the number of the sensing elements 4 can also be multiple, and the multiple sensing elements 4 can be arranged along the circumference of the handle portion 2. The receiving element 5 is arranged on the rotating shaft 31 connecting the curling portion 1 and the driving portion 3. During the rotation of the curling portion 1, different sensing elements 4 are triggered. When the sensing element 4 at a preset triggering angle is triggered, this sensing element 4 or the receiving element 5 sends a signal to the controller. After receiving the corresponding signal, the controller stops the curling portion 1 from rotating to style the hair. After the preset styling time is reached, the controller controls the curling portion 1 to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0058] Alternatively, the number of the sensing elements 4 can be multiple, and the multiple sensing elements 4 can be arranged along the circumference of the handle portion 2. The receiving element 5 is arranged on the curling portion 1 and rotates synchronously with the curling portion 1. During the rotation of the curling portion 1, different sensing elements 4 are triggered. When a sensing element 4 at a preset triggering angle is triggered, this sensing element 4 or the receiving element 5 sends a signal to the controller. After receiving the corresponding signal, the controller stops the curling portion 1 from rotating to style the hair. After the preset styling time is reached, the controller controls the curling portion 1 to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0059] Of course, the receiving element 5 and the sensing element 4 can also be provided in plurality at the same time, and the plurality of sensing elements 4 can be provided along the circumference of the handle portion 2, and the receiving element 5 is provided on the rotating shaft 31 connecting the curling portion 1 and the driving portion 3, or the plurality of receiving elements 5 can be provided on the curling portion 1. In the process of rotating the curling portion 1, different combinations of the receiving elements 5 and the sensing elements 4 are triggered. When the sensing element 4 or the combination of the receiving elements 5 at the preset triggering angle is triggered, the sensing element 4 or the receiving element 5 sends a signal to the controller. After receiving the corresponding signal, the controller stops the rotation of the curling portion 1 to style the hair. After the preset styling time is reached, the curling portion 1 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0060] The receiving element 5 and the sensing element 4 may also be arranged in other ways that meet the requirements, which will not be described here in detail.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the handle portion 2 is provided with a plurality of indicator lights, which are used to respectively display different preset trigger angles. When different preset trigger angles are input and the curling portion 1 is rotated to the preset trigger angle position, the corresponding indicator lights are lit to prompt the customer that the curling portion 1 has been rotated to the preset trigger angle, making it easier for the customer to judge the curling status.

[0062] A sound prompt portion can also be provided on the handle portion 2, which is used to prompt the curling portion 1 to rotate to the preset trigger angle. When the curling portion 1 rotates to the preset trigger angle, a prompt sound is emitted to prompt the customer that the curling portion 1 has rotated to the preset trigger angle, making it easier for the customer to judge the curling status.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the handle portion 2 is provided with a plurality of input buttons, and the plurality of input buttons are used to input different preset trigger angles;

[0064] And / or, the handle portion 2 is provided with a touch screen, and the touch screen is used to input a preset trigger angle.

[0065] During use, different preset trigger angles can be input by triggering different input buttons, or directly inputting different preset trigger angles through the touch screen. The specific details are determined according to actual conditions and will not be elaborated here.

[0066] In addition to the above-mentioned hair curler, the present invention also provides a hair curling method applied to the hair curler disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment, the hair curling method comprising:

[0067] Step S1, obtaining the curling mode. If it is the first curling mode, then executing the following steps S2 to S6; if it is the second curling mode, then executing the following steps S2 and S7 in sequence; if it is the third mode, then executing the following steps S2 and S8 in sequence;

[0068] Step S2, obtaining a preset trigger angle;

[0069] In the above step S2, different preset trigger angles can be input by triggering different input buttons or directly inputting on the touch screen, so that the controller obtains the preset trigger angles.

[0070] Step S3, controlling the curling part 1 to heat and rotate, triggering the corresponding receiving element 5 or sensing element 4, so that the curling part 1 rotates to a preset trigger angle;

[0071] In the above step S3, first, the hair clip needs to be placed on the curling part 1, and the hair needs to be wrapped around the curling part 1 during the rotation of the curling part 1. By controlling the rotation angle of the curling part 1, the angle at which the hair is wrapped around the curling part 1 can be effectively controlled to produce different styles.

[0072] Step S4, controlling the curling part 1 to stay at a preset trigger angle for a preset time;

[0073] In the above step S4, the preset styling time can be 1-10 seconds. The preset styling time can be adjusted according to the styling effect, hair quality, etc. Specifically, a button for adjusting the preset styling time can be set or the preset styling time can be changed directly through the touch screen.

[0074] Step S5, controlling the curling part 1 to move a certain distance upward or downward along the hair, and controlling the curling part 1 to rotate in the opposite direction to a preset trigger angle and stay for a preset setting time;

[0075] After styling a section of hair, the curling part 1 needs to be moved up or down a certain distance along the hair. At this time, the curling part 1 rotates in the opposite direction by a preset trigger angle to continue styling the hair.

[0076] Step S6, determining whether the curling is completed, if not, repeating step S5, if so, controlling the curling part 1 to stop heating and rotating.

[0077] Step S7, controlling the curling part 1 to heat and rotate in the forward or reverse direction, triggering the corresponding receiving element 5 or sensing element 4, so that the curling part 1 rotates to the preset trigger angle;

[0078] Step S8, controlling the curling part 1 to heat and rotate in the forward or reverse direction, and controlling the curling part 1 to move upward or downward along the hair, triggering the corresponding receiving element 5 or sensing element 4, so that the curling part 1 rotates to a preset trigger angle.
