[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a drying device 100, including a power supply 10, a radiation source 20, an operating component 30, and a locking unit 40. The radiation source 20 is electrically connected to the power supply 10. The operating component 30 is used to control the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 to conduct. The locking unit 40 is used to put the drying device 100 into a safety mode. In the safety mode, the radiation source 20 is disconnected from the power supply 10 and does not respond to the operating component 30. It is easy to understand that although the operating component 30 can control the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 from a non-conducting state to a conducting state, in the safety mode, the operating component 30 cannot perform its control function. In other words, the drying device 100 includes at least two modes: in the non-safety mode, even if the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 are in a non-conducting state, they can be controlled to conduct to each other through the operating component 30; in the safety mode, the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 are in a non-conducting state, and the operating component 30 cannot control them to conduct to each other.

[0047] In some embodiments, the radiation source 20 can radiate visible light, infrared light of a preset frequency band, or a combination of visible and infrared light. In some embodiments, the radiation source 20 transfers energy (such as heat) outward through the radiated light, thereby causing surrounding target objects (such as hair, body parts, fibers, etc.) to receive the radiated energy and heat up, achieving a drying effect. In one embodiment, the drying device 100 can be a hair dryer, where the radiated energy and airflow work together to accelerate the drying efficiency of the target object.

[0048] It can be understood that, for the drying equipment 100, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 can be controlled by operating the operating component 30, thereby enabling the power supply 10 to supply power to the radiation source 20. In other words, the actual function of the operating component 30 can be understood as a switch on a general electrical device, allowing the drying equipment 100 to switch between off and on normal operation after operation. In a more specific real-time mode, the non-responsive operating component 30 in the safety mode can mean that the drying equipment 100 as a whole does not respond to the operating component 30, that is, the operating component 30 cannot control the drying equipment 100. In another more specific real-time mode, the non-responsive operating component 30 in the safety mode can mean that the radiation source 20 does not respond to the operating component 30, that is, the operating component 30 cannot control the radiation source 20.

[0049] In safe mode, the connection between the radiation source 20 and the power supply 10 in the drying equipment 100 remains continuously disconnected, and the operating component 30 does not respond. In this mode, the drying equipment 100 only responds to the locking unit 40, which can minimize the risk of accidental opening of the drying equipment 100 due to abnormal conditions such as accidental activation of the operating component 30, failure to shut down, or short circuit. This also prevents flammable objects around the drying equipment 100 from continuously receiving energy from the radiation source 20 and becoming heated or even ignited.

[0050] In practical use, common electrical appliances, especially those with rechargeable batteries and easy to carry, often experience malfunctions such as accidental activation. In this embodiment, the drying device 100 uses a radiation source 20 to radiate energy. If it is accidentally activated—for example, after the user places or stores the drying device 100, it collides with surrounding objects, causing the operating component 30 to be accidentally activated; or due to special circumstances, the drying device 100 experiences a short circuit, connecting the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20. The radiation source 20 will then continuously radiate energy outwards, causing surrounding objects to accumulate the radiated energy and heat up. For some low-ignition-point objects, this can easily lead to spontaneous combustion and further cause a fire. In other embodiments, if the drying device 100 is accidentally activated by minors (such as children) or animals, it may pose a safety hazard.

[0051] Therefore, for the drying equipment 100 of this application, by setting the locking unit 40, the drying equipment 100 can enter a safe mode, thereby preventing the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 from conducting electricity, and the drying equipment 100 cannot respond to the operating component 30. In this way, even if the drying equipment 100 experiences the above-mentioned abnormal situation, it will not be accidentally turned on because the drying equipment 100 cannot respond to the operating component 30, thereby avoiding the occurrence of disasters and improving the safety of the drying equipment 100 itself.

[0052] In other words, the locking unit 40 ensures that the drying device 100 remains closed to the greatest extent possible. When storing the drying device 100, taking it with you when traveling, or placing it in areas where minors or pets may be present, users only need to operate the locking unit 40 to put the drying device 100 into a safe mode, thus preventing it from being accidentally opened. In this way, users can safely store, carry, or place the drying device 100.

[0053] In other embodiments, the power source 10 may be a battery installed on the drying equipment 100, or a power supply facility that requires a wired connection, with the drying equipment 100 connected to the power supply facility via a pre-set power cord.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the operating component 30 is operated to output an operating signal. When the operating signal does not meet a preset condition, the drying equipment 100 remains in a powered-off state. When the operating signal meets the preset condition, the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 are switched on to turn on the drying equipment 100.

[0055] In this way, by using whether the preset conditions are met as the start-up conditions, multiple different sets of conditions can be combined as preset conditions to minimize the possibility of accidental start-up and ensure that the machine can only be turned on and used when the user operates it correctly, thereby further improving the safety of turning on the drying equipment 100 through the operating component 30.

[0056] Specifically, when the drying equipment 100 is not in safe mode, the operating component 30 outputs an operating signal. If the operating signal does not meet the preset conditions, it can be confirmed that the operating component 30 may be accidentally activated, thus keeping the drying equipment 100 in the off state. If the operating signal meets the preset conditions, it can be confirmed that the user has correctly operated the operating component 30, thereby connecting the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, turning on the drying equipment 100 and allowing the radiation source 20 to begin radiating. In other words, the operating component 30 itself also has an anti-accidental activation function. Even if the drying equipment 100 is not in safe mode, the operating component 30 itself can eliminate a certain degree of risk of accidental activation by judging the preset conditions, further improving safety. In some embodiments, the operating component 30 can generate multiple operating signals. When the number of received operating signals is less than a preset number, the operating signal does not meet the preset conditions; when the number of received operating signals is the preset number, the operating signal meets the preset conditions. In some embodiments, the operating component 30 can also generate special signal combinations, and determine whether the preset conditions are met based on whether each signal in the signal combination conforms to a preset threshold range. For example, when the combination of the body angle and movement amplitude signals of the drying equipment 100 is within a certain angle range close to the vertical direction, and the movement amplitude is consistent with the handheld state, it is determined that the preset conditions are met, and then the drying equipment 100 is turned on for user use. It is easy to understand that, although the following text uses the number of operation signals as the criterion, the operation signals themselves can still be judged to determine whether they meet the conditions when they are generated. If the preset conditions are met, they are used as the operation signals within the preset conditions.

[0057] This reduces the possibility of accidental power-on due to user error.

[0058] Specifically, when the operating component 30 is operated (including accidental touch, correct operation, etc.), a certain number of operating signals are generated. It is understood that when the operating component 30 is accidentally touched or incorrectly operated, it typically generates only a small number of operating signals. If the number of received operating signals is less than a preset number, it can be determined that the operating signals do not meet the preset conditions.

[0059] When the number of received operation signals is a preset number, it can be determined that the operation signals meet the preset conditions, and the operation component 30 is correctly operated by the user. The power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 are turned on, and the drying equipment 100 radiates to the outside through the radiation source 20.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2In some embodiments, the operation component 30 includes multiple operating elements 31 and an identification unit 311. Each operating element 31 is used to output an operation signal. The identification unit 311 is used to receive the operation signal and, when a preset condition is met, to connect the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 to turn on the drying equipment 100. It is readily understood that the operation component 30 is not limited to a component including multiple operating elements 31 and an identification component 311. In other embodiments, the operation component 30 may also be a component including a conventional mechanical switch and related circuitry, where the position of the mechanical switch is determined by contacts on the circuitry as a preset condition for controlling the connection of the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20.

[0061] In addition, Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the drying device 100 further includes a main control unit 90. Specifically, in this embodiment, the identification unit 311 can send the received operation signal to the main control unit 90, enabling the main control unit 90 to determine whether the received operation signal meets preset conditions. After the received operation signal meets the preset conditions, the main control unit 90 controls the drying device 100 to connect the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, thus turning on the drying device 100. For the locking unit 40, it can send a relevant signal to the main control unit 90 to ensure that the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 remains disconnected, allowing the drying device 100 to enter a safe mode. Alternatively, it can directly control the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 to disconnect, thus enabling the drying device 100 to enter a safe mode.

[0062] In some embodiments, multiple operating elements 31 can operate independently, each generating multiple operating signals. Each operating element 31 needs to be operated separately to output an independent operating signal. In other embodiments, multiple operating elements 31 can be set up in a certain degree of linkage. The user only needs to perform a correct operation once to operate all operating elements 31 simultaneously to generate the corresponding operating signals, which is more ergonomic and reduces the user's learning cost.

[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, the number of operating components 31 is two, and the preset number is two. When the user turns on the drying equipment 100, the identification unit 311 can receive the operating signals generated by the synchronous operation of the two operating components 31. Thus, the number of received operating signals is two, which meets the preset condition.

[0064] In addition, regarding the number of operating elements 31, in other embodiments, the number of operating elements 31 can be three, four or more. When the user operates the operating component 30, all operating elements 31 can be operated so that the identification unit 311 receives the corresponding operation signal.

[0065] Furthermore, in other embodiments, when a user operates the operating component 30, one of the plurality of operating elements 31 can be operated to generate at least one operating signal. The number of operating signals generated by operating one operating element 31 can be determined by the operation of the operating element 31.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the drying device 100 includes a grip portion 50. Multiple operating components 31 include an operation signal sensor 32 and a power button 51. The operation signal sensor 32 is disposed on the grip portion 50 and is used to sense human body capacitance and output an operation signal. The power button 51 is used to output an operation signal after being pressed. Specifically, when a user operates the drying device 100, they grip the grip portion 50 to pick it up, causing the operation signal sensor 32 on the grip portion 50 to detect human body capacitance. When the user further operates the power button 51 to turn on the drying device 100, the power button 51 detects that it has been pressed and outputs an operation signal. Thus, when the operating component 30 performs a single human operation (operating the power button 51 while gripping the grip portion 50), the operation signal sensor 32 and the power button 51 respectively output operation signals. The two operation signals are received and identified by the identification unit 311. After determining that the preset conditions are met, the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 are turned on to turn on the drying device 100. In some implementations, the operation signal of the operation signal sensor 32 can be set to be generated when the detected human body capacitance is within a preset capacitance range; the operation signal of the power button 51 can be set to be generated after being pressed for a certain period of time.

[0067] Please combine Figure 3 In other embodiments, the operation signal sensor 32 can detect the grip pressure when the user holds the grip portion 50 to determine the generation of a corresponding operation signal. Specifically, in one embodiment, when the user operates the drying device 100, the action of picking up the drying device 100 includes holding the grip portion 50 of the drying device 100, thereby causing the operation signal sensor 32 located on the grip portion 50 to detect the grip pressure located on the grip portion 50 and output an operation signal. When the user further operates the power button 51 to turn on the drying device 100, the power button 51 detects that it has been pressed and outputs an operation signal. Thus, the operation component 30 generates the operation signal of the corresponding operation signal sensor 32 and the operation signal of the corresponding power button 51 when the user performs a single operation (operating the power button 51 while holding the grip portion 50). In some embodiments, the operation signal of the operation signal sensor 32 can be set to be generated when the grip pressure is within a preset pressure range; the operation signal of the power button 51 can be set to be generated after being pressed for a certain period of time.

[0068] In such an implementation, the operation signal sensor 32 can generate an operation signal, and the power button 51 can also generate an operation signal. When the preset number is two, it can be determined that the preset conditions are met when both successfully output operation signals, and the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 are turned on to turn on the drying equipment 100.

[0069] In some other embodiments, the operation signal sensor 32 can simultaneously sense human body capacitance and grip pressure, and only output an operation signal when both of these conditions are met. The specific principle is similar to or the same as that of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the plurality of actuating elements 31 include capacitive buttons 34 and mechanical buttons 35. The capacitive buttons 34 are disposed on the surface of the mechanical buttons 35 and move in tandem with the mechanical buttons 35. The capacitive buttons 34 generate a touch signal when touched. The mechanical buttons 35 generate a press signal when pressed.

[0071] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the capacitive button 34 is disposed on the surface of the mechanical button 35. When the user presses the mechanical button 35, they directly touch the capacitive button 34, causing the capacitive button 34 to move in the same direction as the mechanical button 35. This allows the user to complete both touching the capacitive button 34 and pressing the mechanical button 35 with a single operation (pressing the button). In one embodiment, when the capacitive button 34 is touched by the user, the capacitance value is detected, and a touch signal is generated when the capacitance falls within a preset capacitance range. It is easy to understand that the range of capacitance values ​​generated when the user touches the capacitive button 34 can be determined through multiple experiments, and this range is used as the aforementioned capacitance range. In one embodiment, two corresponding contacts can be provided below the mechanical button 35, and these two contacts are configured to conduct when the mechanical button 35 is fully pressed, generating a press signal. Furthermore, a press signal can be generated after the contact is pressed for a duration greater than or equal to a preset duration. In another embodiment, when the mechanical button 35 is pressed, the magnitude of the pressing force or the displacement distance of the mechanical button 35 is detected, and a pressing signal is generated when it meets a preset value. In yet another embodiment, a pressing signal may be generated when the mechanical button 35 is pressed to a preset position.

[0072] In some embodiments, the operating element 31 may be equipped with a corresponding sensor. When the operating element 31 is operated, the corresponding sensor can detect the operation performed on the operating element 31, thereby generating a corresponding operation signal. In other embodiments, the operating element 31 generates a data signal when it is operated, which can be received by a preset sensor in the drying equipment 100 to detect whether the corresponding requirements are met. If the requirements are met, an operation signal is output accordingly.

[0073] It is understood that, based on the above, when a user needs to turn on the drying equipment 100, the capacitive button 34 and the mechanical button 35 will be operated simultaneously, generating touch signals and press signals respectively. The operation signals can correspondingly include touch signals and press signals; that is, a touch signal constitutes one operation signal, and a press signal constitutes another. The preset number of corresponding operation signals is two. When both touch signals and press signals are received simultaneously, the recognition unit 311 can determine that the current operation is a normal operation of the drying equipment 100 by the user, thereby turning on the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 to turn on the drying equipment 100. In other embodiments, the preset conditions of the recognition unit 311 can include only the touch signal and the press signal themselves; the simultaneous presence of both indicates that the current operation on the drying equipment 100 is a normal operation, without relying on the number of operation signals as the basis for judgment.

[0074] By combining the mechanical button 35 and the capacitive button 34 as described above, when the drying device 100 collides with another object, even if the mechanical button 35 is pressed down and generates a pressing signal, the capacitive button 34 does not detect the corresponding user touch capacitance, thus preventing the capacitive button 34 from generating a touch signal. This prevents the drying device 100 from being accidentally turned on due to the collision. In another embodiment, a slight touch to the capacitive button 34 of the drying device 100 on a human body surface (such as an arm) generates a touch signal, but the mechanical button 35 does not meet the preset conditions and cannot generate a corresponding pressing signal, thus preventing the drying device 100 from being accidentally turned on due to the touch. Therefore, the operating component 30, composed of the mechanical button 35 and the capacitive button 34, ensures that the drying device 100 is only turned on when the user touches the capacitive button 34 and presses the mechanical button 35 to the preset condition.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the drying device 100 includes a protective structure 36. A capacitive button 34 is disposed between the protective structure 36 and a mechanical button 35. The user touches the capacitive button 34 through the protective structure 36.

[0076] In this way, the capacitive button 34 can be protected and its sensitivity to human body capacitance can be reduced. The protective structure 36 can also prevent the surface of the capacitive button 34 from being worn or damaged by bumps, thereby avoiding the problem of the user being unable to turn on the device due to the inability to detect the touch capacitance.

[0077] Specifically, in some embodiments, the protective structure 36 may be made of resin or silicone. When the user operates the operating component 30 or the operating component 30 is accidentally touched, the protective structure 36 protects the capacitive button 34, preventing damage from repeated operations or accidental touches. It also prevents the capacitive button 34 from directly contacting the human body when operated by the user, thereby reducing the sensitivity of the capacitive button 34 to the capacitance of external objects (such as the human body). In some embodiments, the protective structure 36, the capacitive button 34, and the mechanical button 35 are integrated to form the actual power button, i.e., the button actually pressed by the user when powering on. The protective structure 36 can be ergonomically designed with a curved surface and added tactile textures to provide tactile feedback, allowing the user to determine that they have touched the power button simply by touch.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the locking unit 40 includes a locking switch 41. The locking switch 41 is movably disposed on the surface of the drying device 100. The locking switch 41 has a first position 42 and a second position 43. When the locking switch 41 is moved to the first position 42, the locking unit 40 enters a safe mode. When the locking switch 41 is moved to the second position 43, the safe mode is exited. It is readily understood that the locking switch 41 can be implemented using various electrical switches that are mature in the prior art. Switching from the second position 43 to the first position 42 is equivalent to entering the safe mode, and vice versa, it is equivalent to exiting the safe mode. The specific electrical structure is not the focus of this embodiment.

[0079] In this way, users can easily and quickly confirm whether the drying equipment 100 is currently in safe mode by observing the position of the locking switch 41.

[0080] It is understandable that since the drying equipment 100 enters the safety mode when the locking switch 41 is in the first position 42 and exits the safety mode when the locking switch 41 is in the second position 43, users can easily enter or exit the safety mode by operating the position of the locking switch 41. Furthermore, by observing the position of the locking switch 41 before use, users can quickly determine whether the drying equipment 100 is currently in the safety mode without needing to perform any additional operations.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the drying device 100 includes a housing 44. A groove 45 is provided on the housing 44. A locking switch 41 is slidably mounted in the groove 45. A first position 42 and a second position 43 are located within the groove 45. The locking switch 41 is provided with an identification structure 46 indicating its current position.

[0082] This makes the current position of the locking switch 41 more conspicuous and easier to identify.

[0083] Specifically, in one embodiment, the locking switch 41 can be moved by sliding along the slide groove 45. When the locking switch 41 slides to the first position 42, the marking structure 46 on the locking switch 41 indicates that the locking switch 41 is currently in the first position 42. When the locking switch 41 slides to the second position 43, the marking structure 46 on the locking switch 41 indicates that the locking switch 41 is currently in the second position 43. That is to say, the position of the locking switch 41 can be determined by the marking structure 46 on the locking switch 41. In a more specific embodiment, an indicator light can be provided on the locking switch 41 to form the marking structure 46. When the locking switch 41 moves to the first position 42, the indicator light is red to indicate that the current mode is safe. When the locking switch 41 moves to the second position 43, the indicator light is off to indicate that the current mode is not safe and the device can be powered on and used normally.

[0084] In another embodiment, the movable space of the locking switch 41 may be limited to the first position 42 and the second position 43, and the relevant mechanical limiting structure ensures that the locking switch 41 only includes the first position 42 and the second position 43 when it is slid, so that the drying equipment 100 is in a safe mode or out of a safe mode. This is beneficial for the user to confirm the current position of the locking switch 41 and avoids the locking switch 41 being in other positions other than the first position 42 and the second position 43, so that the user does not have any doubts about whether the drying equipment 100 is currently in a safe mode.

[0085] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the marking structure 46 can be disposed on the slide groove 45. When the locking switch 41 slides to the corresponding position, the marking structure 46 at the position of the locking switch 41 can determine whether the current position of the locking switch 41 is the first position 42 or the second position 43. In other embodiments, the marking structure 46 can be disposed on both the locking switch 41 and the slide groove 45, or disposed on the housing 44 at a position adjacent to the slide groove 45. The specific principle is similar to or the same as that of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0086] In some embodiments, the identification structure 46 includes a color identifier located at a second position 43. The color identifier at the second position 43 is exposed when the locking switch 41 is in the first position 42.

[0087] Thus, the color coding can be used to confirm whether the locking switch 41 is in the first position 42.

[0088] Specifically, in one embodiment, when the locking switch 41 is moved to the first position 42, the color indicator in the second position 43 is exposed; when the locking switch 41 is moved to the second position 43, the color indicator in the second position 43 is covered and hidden by the locking switch 41. Thus, the first position 42 and the second position 43 of the locking switch 41 can be distinguished by observing whether an exposed color indicator exists, thereby facilitating the identification of the location of the locking switch 41. The color indicator can be displayed as a single color such as red, blue, green, or yellow, or as a combination of multiple colors. The selection should be based on the specific situation, or calibrated through actual testing.

[0089] In other embodiments, the identification structure 46 may include a graphic identifier, which is positioned at a second position 43. When the locking switch 41 is in the first position 42, the graphic identifier at the second position 43 is exposed. The graphic identifier can be displayed as geometric shapes, text, numbers, etc., or as a combination of different types of graphics. The selection should be based on the specific circumstances or calibrated through actual testing. Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, when the locking switch 41 is in the first position 42, the marking structure 46 is displayed in the groove 45 corresponding to the second position 43, thereby determining that the locking switch 41 is currently in the first position 42, wherein the marking structure 46 is a red color mark.

[0090] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the identification structure 46 may include a color identifier and a graphic identifier, which are set in the second position 43. When the locking switch 41 is in the first position 42, the color identifier and graphic identifier in the second position 43 are exposed. The color identifier and graphic identifier can be displayed as a simple combination of a color identifier and a graphic identifier in space, or as a graphic identifier with the color of the corresponding color identifier, or as a color identifier with the graphic of the corresponding graphic identifier. The specific principle is similar to or the same as the principle of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 7In some embodiments, the drying apparatus 100 includes a power management unit 60 and a power switch 61. The power switch 61 is disposed between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20. The power management unit 60 generates a first enable signal and a second enable signal after the locking unit 40 is operated. The power switch 61 controls whether the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 are conductive according to the first and second enable signals, causing the drying apparatus 100 to enter or exit a safe mode. When the first and second enable signals control the conductivity between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, the operating component 30 is activated to connect the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, and the drying apparatus 100 exits the safe mode. When the first and second enable signals control the non-conductivity between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 are disconnected and non-conducting, the operating component 30 is not activated, and the drying apparatus 100 enters a safe mode.

[0092] Thus, by using two enable signals for judgment, the robustness of the drying equipment 100 in safe mode can be improved.

[0093] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, after the locking unit 40 is operated, the power management unit 60 generates a first enable signal and a second enable signal accordingly. The first and second enable signals are used to determine whether the drying equipment 100 has entered or exited the safe mode. In other words, for any operation of the locking unit 40, whether entering or exiting the safe mode, the power management unit 60 coupled to it will generate both the first and second enable signals. However, the first and second enable signals generated by the power management unit 60 have different voltage levels when entering and exiting the safe mode. Specifically, the drying equipment 100 can only exit the safe mode when the first enable signal is at its first voltage level and the second enable signal is at its second voltage level. This avoids the safety hazard caused by the drying equipment 100 unexpectedly exiting the safe mode due to hardware failure causing the first or second enable signal to generate incorrect voltage levels, thereby improving robustness.

[0094] In some implementations, the power switch 61 can be a MOSFET.

[0095] In some implementations, the drying equipment 100 remains in a safe mode when the first enable signal is in a third level state and / or the second enable signal is in a fourth level state. The first level state differs from the third level state, and the second level state differs from the fourth level state. It is easily understood that since the first enable signal includes both a first level state and a third level state, and the second enable signal includes both a second level state and a fourth level state, there are four possible combinations of the level states of the first and second enable signals. To reduce the probability of a malfunction causing the drying equipment 100 to unexpectedly exit the safe mode, the drying equipment 100 exits the safe mode, i.e., it can be powered on and used normally, only when the first enable signal is in a first level state and the second enable signal is in a second level state. In the other three level state combinations, the drying equipment 100 remains in the safe mode and cannot be powered on. In other words, even if the power management unit 60 or other related circuit structures malfunction, causing the output of the first enable signal and the second enable signal to become disordered, the drying equipment 100 has only a 25% probability of exiting the safe mode, and still has a 75% probability of remaining in the safe mode, thereby improving the safety and robustness of the drying equipment 100 itself.

[0096] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first level state is high, the second level state is low, the third level state is low, and the fourth level state is high. That is, the drying device 100 will only exit the safe mode when the first enable signal is high and the second enable signal is low, allowing the user to turn on the drying device 100 by correctly operating the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20. If the first enable signal is low, or the second enable signal is high, or both are high, it can be determined that one of the first or second enable signals may have been incorrectly generated. The drying device 100 remains in the safe mode, and the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 remains disconnected to prevent the drying device 100 from being accidentally turned on.

[0097] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, a logic circuit structure is connected between the power management unit 60 and the power switch 61. The power management unit 60 transmits a first enable signal and a second enable signal to the logic circuit structure, so that the logic circuit structure can perform logical judgment on the first enable signal and the second enable signal to obtain an enable signal, and transmit the enable signal to the power switch 61. The power switch 61 controls whether the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 can be connected according to the enable signal.

[0098] The power switch 61 can determine whether to turn on or off the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 based on the level of the enable signal. In one embodiment, the level of the enable signal is high when the level of the first enable signal is high and the level of the second enable signal is low, while in other cases the level of the enable signal is low, thereby controlling the drying equipment 100 to enter or exit the safe mode by the level of the enable signal.

[0099] In other embodiments, the first and second level states, the third and fourth level states can be determined according to specific circumstances. In one embodiment, the first level state is low, the second level state is high, the third level state is high, and the fourth level state is low. The drying equipment 100 can exit the safe mode only when the first enable signal level state is low and the second enable signal level state is high. The drying equipment 100 remains in the safe mode when the first enable signal level state is high, or the second enable signal level state is low, or the first enable signal level state is high and the second enable signal level state is low.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the drying apparatus 100 includes a discharge switch 62 for coupling the locking unit 40. Specifically, in the safe mode, the drying apparatus 100 can disconnect the circuit for the power supply 10 to discharge to the radiation source 20 via the discharge switch 62, thereby enabling the discharge switch 62 to control the power supply 10 to stop discharging. Furthermore, when the aforementioned operating component 30 is operated, it controls the conduction between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20; that is, the operating component 30, as an electrical element, also requires power. In the unsafe mode, even if the drying apparatus 100 is in a powered-off state, in order to respond to the operation of the operating component 30, the power supply 10 needs to be kept discharging to supply power to the operating component 30. In the safe mode, since the discharge switch 62 directly disconnects the discharge circuit of the power supply 10, that is, while controlling the disconnection of the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, the operating component 30 is also disconnected from the power supply 10, thereby achieving the purpose of not responding to the operating component 30 in the safe mode.

[0101] This improves safety. In one embodiment, the discharge switch 62 can be a MOSFET.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 9In some embodiments, the power switch 61 includes a power supply switch 63 for coupling the locking unit 40. Specifically, in the safety mode, the power management unit 60 can control the power supply switch 63 to disconnect the circuit that supplies power from the power supply 10 to the radiation source 20, thereby stopping the power supply 10 from supplying power to the radiation source 20. Furthermore, when the aforementioned operating component 30 is operated, it controls the conduction between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20; that is, the operating component 30, as an electrical element, also requires power. In the non-safety mode, even if the drying equipment 100 is in the off state, in order to respond to the operation of the operating component 30, it is necessary to keep the power supply 10 discharging to supply power to the operating component 30. In the safety mode, since the power supply switch 63 directly disconnects the discharge circuit of the power supply 10, that is, while controlling the disconnection of the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, the operating component 30 is also disconnected from the power supply 10, thereby achieving the purpose of not responding to the operating component 30 in the safety mode. In other embodiments, a discharge switch 62 and a power supply switch 63 can be set in the circuit at the same time, that is, the discharge end of the power supply 10 and the power consumption end of the radiation source 20 are disconnected at the same time, and the double protection ensures power outage and improves safety.

[0103] This improves safety. In one embodiment, the power supply switch 63 can be a MOSFET.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the drying device 100 includes an attitude detection unit 70 and a main control unit (not shown). The attitude detection unit 70 detects the attitude information and corresponding time of the drying device 100 and outputs an attitude signal. The main control unit receives the attitude signal and adjusts the power of the radiation source 20. That is, by determining the attitude information of the drying device 100 and the corresponding time, the power of the radiation source 20 can be adjusted accordingly, thereby improving the applicability of the drying device 100 and the user experience. The attitude of the drying device 100 can be a large-amplitude movement, a small-amplitude movement, or remaining stationary, etc. Different attitudes correspond to different attitude information. The specific implementation process is detailed below.

[0105] In some embodiments, the attitude detection unit 70 may include at least one of a position sensor, a distance sensor, a state sensor, and a vision sensor.

[0106] Specifically, in one embodiment, the attitude detection unit 70 includes a position sensor, such as an IMU, which can detect the inertia of the drying device 100. Based on the detected inertia, the attitude information of the drying device 100 can be determined. In another embodiment, the attitude detection unit 70 includes a distance sensor, such as an ultrasonic or infrared sensor, which can detect the distance between the drying device 100 and surrounding objects. When the distance between the drying device 100 and surrounding objects remains constant, it can be determined that the drying device 100 is in a stationary posture. When the distance between the drying device 100 and surrounding objects changes dynamically, the specific attitude information of the drying device 100 during movement can be determined based on the distance change value. In yet another embodiment, the attitude detection unit 70 includes a state sensor, such as an altimeter, barometer, or magnetometer, which can detect the current state of the drying device 100. When the current state of the drying device 100 remains constant, it can be determined that the drying device 100 is in a stationary posture. In another embodiment, the attitude detection unit 70 includes a vision sensor, such as a binocular or monocular sensor, which can acquire image information around the drying device 100. When the image information around the drying device 100 is detected to remain unchanged, it can be determined that the drying device 100 is in a stationary attitude.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, when the attitude detection unit 70 detects that the attitude information of the drying equipment 100 meets the first range, it outputs a first attitude signal, and the main control unit 90 controls the radiation source 20 to operate at a first radiation power according to the first attitude signal.

[0108] This confirms that the drying equipment 100 is being operated normally by the user.

[0109] Specifically, when the attitude information of the drying equipment 100 meets the first range, it can be determined that the drying equipment 100 is in a relatively strong motion (e.g., shaking within a certain range). The attitude detection unit 70 will output a first attitude signal, and the main control unit 90 will control the radiation source 20 to operate at a first radiation power according to the first attitude signal, so that the drying equipment 100 can operate normally. The first range can correspond to the shaking amplitude of the relatively strong motion of the drying equipment 100. It is easy to understand that since the drying equipment 100 radiates energy to the external object through the radiation source 20, it heats and dries the object after a period of time. However, in a relatively violent motion, it is difficult for the drying equipment 100 to continuously align with the same part of the external object. In order to ensure its working efficiency, the radiation source 20 operates normally at a higher first radiation power in this state.

[0110] Please refer to Figure 10In some embodiments, the attitude detection unit 70 outputs a second attitude signal when the second range is met, and the second range is smaller than the first range. The main control unit 90 controls the radiation source 20 to operate alternately with a second radiation power and a third radiation power, or to switch to a fourth radiation power, according to the second attitude signal. The second radiation power is greater than the third radiation power, and both the fourth and third radiation powers are less than the first radiation power.

[0111] In this way, the power of the radiation source 20 can be dynamically adjusted according to the current operating state of the drying equipment 100.

[0112] Specifically, in some implementations, when the shaking of the drying equipment 100 is relatively gentle, it can be determined that the attitude detection unit 70 meets the second range. The attitude detection unit 70 then outputs a second attitude signal, causing the main control unit 90 to control the radiation source 20 to operate alternately at a second and third radiation power, or switch to a fourth radiation power, based on the second attitude signal. Both the third and fourth radiation powers are less than the first radiation power. This reduces the output power of the radiation source 20. The second range corresponds to the amplitude of movement of the drying equipment 100 when the shaking is relatively gentle. Compared to the motion state corresponding to the first range, the motion amplitude corresponding to the second range is more gentle. In this state, the drying equipment 100 may continuously operate at the same point on an external object for a longer period. If the first radiation power is maintained, the radiated energy may rapidly accumulate, causing the temperature of the external object to rise rapidly, leading to danger. Therefore, in this state, switching to alternating operation at the second and third radiation powers, or maintaining operation at the fourth radiation power, reduces the radiation intensity to the external object and improves the safety of the drying equipment 100 itself.

[0113] Please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the attitude detection unit detects that the drying equipment 100 is in a stationary state, and outputs a third attitude signal when the corresponding time reaches a first threshold. The main control unit controls the radiation source to operate alternately with a second radiation power and a third radiation power based on the third attitude signal, wherein the second radiation power is greater than the third radiation power and the third radiation power is less than the first radiation power.

[0114] This avoids the potential dangers of the drying equipment 100 continuing to operate after being removed from user control.

[0115] Specifically, in some implementations, when the drying equipment 100 is stationary, the duration of stationary operation can be detected by the attitude detection unit 70. When the duration reaches a first threshold, the attitude detection unit 70 outputs a third attitude signal, causing the main control unit 90 to control the radiation source 20 to alternately operate at a second radiation power and a third radiation power lower than the first radiation power, thereby reducing the output power of the radiation source 20 and preventing objects with low ignition points around it from being heated and ignited. In other implementations, upon responding to the third attitude signal, the main control unit 90 controls the radiation source 20 to alternately operate at the second and third radiation powers for a certain period of time, and then switches to a fourth radiation power. The fourth radiation power can be a lower power, used only to indicate that the drying equipment 100 is still operating; the fourth radiation power can also be zero, that is, the radiation source 20 is temporarily turned off. In a more specific embodiment, after temporarily shutting down the radiation source 20, the main control unit 90 controls the drying device 100 to enter standby mode. In this mode, although the radiation source 20 is not working, the drying device 100 is not in a shutdown state. After the attitude signal changes (for example, the user picks up the drying device 100 after putting it down), it can immediately respond to the corresponding attitude signal and control the radiation source 20 to switch to the corresponding output power.

[0116] Furthermore, the second radiation power of radiation source 20 under the second attitude signal and the second radiation power of radiation source 20 under the third attitude signal can be the same or different. The third radiation power of radiation source 20 under the second attitude signal and the third radiation power of radiation source 20 under the third attitude signal can also be the same or different.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the attitude detection unit 70 detects that the drying device 100 is in a stationary state, and when the corresponding time exceeds a first threshold and reaches a second threshold, it outputs a fourth attitude signal. The main control unit 90 shuts down the radiation source 20 based on the fourth attitude signal.

[0118] This avoids the potential dangers caused by the drying equipment 100 being away from user control for too long.

[0119] Specifically, in some of these embodiments, when the drying equipment 100 is stationary, the duration of the stationary state can be detected by the attitude detection unit 70. When the duration reaches a second threshold greater than the first threshold, the attitude detection unit 70 will output a fourth attitude signal, so that the main control unit 90 will shut down the radiation source 20 according to the fourth attitude signal to prevent surrounding objects with low ignition points from being heated and ignited.

[0120] In addition, the first radiation power, second radiation power, third radiation power, and fourth radiation power of radiation source 20 can be specific power values ​​of radiation source 20, or they can be power ranges during operation of radiation source 20. Each power range can overlap or not overlap.

[0121] The attitude switching process of the aforementioned drying equipment 100 can be illustrated through the following specific application scenarios:

[0122] When a user picks up and uses the drying device 100, and their movements are large, i.e., drying a large area of ​​an external object (e.g., drying wet hair), the user will continuously move the drying device 100. In this case, the radiation source 20 operates at a higher first radiation power. When the user's movements are smaller, i.e., drying a smaller area of ​​an external object (e.g., drying only a specific part of the hair), to avoid the danger caused by a rapid increase in temperature, the output power of the radiation source switches from the first radiation power to alternating between the second and third radiation powers, i.e., a breathing mode. When the user's use is interrupted and the drying device 100 is casually placed on a table or charging dock, the drying device 100 is in a stationary position. After operating in the breathing mode (alternating between the second and third radiation powers) for a period of time, the radiation source 20 enters a standby mode (the output power of the radiation source 20 is zero, but the drying device 100 is not disconnected from the power supply) to prevent the placed drying device 100 from igniting low-ignition-point items such as towels. In standby mode, if the user picks up the drying device 100 again, the drying device 100 will switch the radiation source 20 to the corresponding output power based on the user's action. If the standby mode time exceeds a preset value (i.e., the aforementioned second threshold) and the user still does not use the drying device 100 again, it can be determined that the user has stopped using the drying device 100. To avoid energy consumption, the drying device 100 will enter a shutdown state. From the above process, it can be seen that the drying device 100 can switch its working state according to the user's operation, providing a more intelligent operating experience and possessing high safety.

[0123] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the drying device 100 includes a motor 80 for generating airflow. The main control unit 90 receives attitude signals and adjusts the power of the motor 80.

[0124] This improves the heat dissipation effect on surrounding objects, thus preventing the energy radiated by radiation source 20 from accumulating on external objects and causing heat generation.

[0125] Specifically, the power of the motor 80 can be adjusted according to different attitude signals received by the main control unit 90. In one embodiment, the attitude signal is a first attitude signal, and the power of the motor 80 is a first air outlet power. In another embodiment, the attitude signal is a second attitude signal, and the power of the motor 80 is a second air outlet power greater than the first air outlet power. That is, the output power of the fan 80 is increased when the movement is relatively gentle to increase the airflow to external objects and prevent rapid heating caused by heat accumulation. In yet another embodiment, the attitude signal is a third attitude signal, and the power of the motor 80 is a third air outlet power greater than the second air outlet power. That is, the output power of the motor 80 is further increased when the device is stationary to prevent the drying device 100, which is left unattended, from continuously running and igniting external objects. In yet another embodiment, the attitude signal is a fourth attitude signal, and the power of the motor 80 is zero, entering a standby or off state.

[0126] In addition, in some embodiments, the power of the motor 80 and the power of the radiation source 20 can be matched. In one embodiment, when the attitude signal is a first attitude signal, the radiation source 20 operates at a first radiation power and the motor 80 operates at a first exhaust power; when the attitude signal is a second attitude signal, the radiation source 20 operates at a fourth radiation power and the motor 80 operates at a second exhaust power; when the attitude signal is a third attitude signal, the radiation source 20 operates alternately at the second and third radiation powers and the motor 80 operates at a third exhaust power.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 12 In some embodiments, the drying equipment 100 includes a motor 80 and a main control unit 90. The motor 80 is used to generate airflow. The main control unit 90 samples the current of the radiation source 20 and the motor 80. When the current of the radiation source 20 exceeds a preset first current range, and / or the current of the motor 20 exceeds a preset second current range, the main control unit 90 controls the drying equipment 100 to enter a shutdown state.

[0128] Thus, it is possible to determine whether the radiation source 20 is malfunctioning after the drying equipment 100 is turned on by detecting the current of the radiation source 20, and it is possible to determine whether the motor 80 is malfunctioning after the drying equipment 100 is turned on by detecting the current of the motor 80.

[0129] Specifically, when motor 80 stalls or is damaged, its current will become abnormal. Therefore, by sampling the current of motor 80, it can be determined whether motor 80 is malfunctioning. The main control unit 90 then controls the drying equipment 100 to shut down when motor 80 malfunctions. In one embodiment, the first current range corresponds to the current of radiation source 20 when drying equipment 100 is turned on. In another embodiment, the second current range corresponds to the current of motor 80 when drying equipment 100 is turned on.

[0130] Please refer to Figure 13 In some embodiments, the drying equipment 100 includes an air outlet duct 81, a temperature sensor 82, a motor 80 for generating airflow, and a main control unit 90. The temperature sensor 82 is disposed within the air outlet duct 81. The motor 80 generates airflow within the air outlet duct 81. The motor 80 is electrically connected to a power supply 10. The main control unit 90 controls the drying equipment 100 to enter a shutdown state when the temperature sensor 82 detects a temperature value exceeding a preset temperature range. The preset range of the temperature sensor 82 can be the temperature range during normal operation of the motor 80, determined beforehand through experiments.

[0131] This improves the safety of the drying equipment 100.

[0132] Specifically, in one embodiment, after the drying equipment 100 is turned on, if the drying equipment 100 is in normal operation, the motor 80 will eventually generate a stable airflow in the air outlet duct 81. The temperature measuring element 82 is simultaneously radiated by the radiation source 20 and is in the airflow. It is affected by the dynamic effects of radiation heating and heat dissipation. The temperature value detected by the temperature measuring element 82 will eventually stabilize after rising to the preset temperature range. However, if the air outlet duct 81 is abnormal (such as blockage of the air outlet or air inlet, or electrical fault causing the motor 80 speed to decrease), the current heat dissipation rate in the air outlet duct 81 cannot be maintained, thereby disrupting the temperature steady state in the air outlet duct 81 and causing it to start to heat up.

[0133] In the above situation, by detecting the temperature value inside the air duct 81, when the temperature measuring element 82 detects that the temperature value exceeds the preset temperature range, it can be determined that the air duct 81 has experienced the above-mentioned abnormality. Then, the main control unit 90 controls the drying equipment 100 to disconnect the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, and the drying equipment 100 enters the shutdown state to prevent the radiation source 20 from continuing to radiate heat.

[0134] Please refer to Figure 14In some embodiments, the drying device 100 includes a heating element 84 disposed within an air outlet duct 81. The heating element 84 and a temperature measuring element 82 are arranged adjacent to each other at a preset distance. The heating element 84 generates heat after the drying device 100 is turned on. When the temperature measuring element 82 detects that the temperature within the preset distance range exceeds the preset temperature range, the drying device 100 is turned off. Due to the limited space within the air outlet duct 81, the volume of the temperature measuring element 82 is limited, thus it can only receive a small amount of radiation from the radiation source 20, resulting in a small temperature change and potentially affecting the measurement accuracy. With the heating element 84 installed, the temperature actually measured by the temperature measuring element 82 includes not only the radiative heating but also the heat emitted by the heating element 84, resulting in a larger temperature change and providing sufficient measurement accuracy. It is readily understood that in this embodiment, the preset temperature range needs to be calibrated with the heating element 84 disposed within the preset distance range.

[0135] This improves the accuracy of temperature measurement by the temperature measuring element 82 in detecting the temperature inside the air outlet duct 81.

[0136] Specifically, in some embodiments, the heating element 84 is connected to the power supply 10. After the drying equipment 100 is turned on, the temperature of the heating element 84 increases due to the heat generated by the power supply, and remains within a preset temperature range when the drying equipment 100 is operating normally. When an abnormality occurs in the air outlet duct 81, the temperature of the heating element 84 will begin to increase and exceed the preset temperature range. Since the temperature rise of the heating element 84 is more significant relative to the airflow in the air outlet duct 81, the temperature measuring element 82 can clearly detect the temperature rise of the heating element 84, thereby achieving a rapid temperature measurement effect. In one embodiment, the heating element 84 can be a thermistor.

[0137] Please refer to Figure 15 In some embodiments, the drying apparatus 100 includes a main control unit 90. When the main control unit 90 disconnects the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20, the main control unit 90 outputs a first logic control signal and a second logic control signal. When the first logic control signal is at a fifth level and the second logic control signal is at a sixth level, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 is disconnected.

[0138] This improves the system robustness of the drying equipment 100.

[0139] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, when the main control unit 90 needs to disconnect the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20, it generates a first logic control signal and a second logic control signal accordingly. By confirming the level states of the first and second logic control signals, it can be confirmed that the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 is disconnected by the main control unit 90 only when the first logic control signal is at the fifth level state and the second logic control signal is at the sixth level state. This avoids the problem of system stability caused by the main control unit 90 being unable to disconnect the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 due to actual hardware failure, thus preventing the generation of at least one of the first and second logic control signals at the wrong level state. This improves robustness.

[0140] Please refer to Figure 16 In some embodiments, the drying apparatus 100 includes a power management unit 60. When the power management unit 60 disconnects the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20, it outputs a third logic control signal and a fourth logic control signal. When the third logic control signal is at a seventh level and the fourth logic control signal is at an eighth level, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 is disconnected.

[0141] This improves the system robustness of the drying equipment 100.

[0142] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, when the power management unit 60 needs to disconnect the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20, it generates a third logic control signal and a fourth logic control signal accordingly. By confirming the level states of the third and fourth logic control signals, it can only be confirmed that the power management unit 60 is disconnecting the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20 when the third logic control signal is at the seventh level and the fourth logic control signal is at the eighth level. This avoids the problem of system stability caused by the power management unit 60 failing to disconnect the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20 due to actual hardware failure, thus preventing the generation of at least one of the third and fourth logic control signals at the wrong level. This improves robustness.

[0143] In addition, based on the above, in other implementation methods, please refer to... Figure 17In some embodiments, the drying equipment 100 includes a main control unit 90 and a power management unit 60. When the main control unit 90 disconnects the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20, the main control unit 90 outputs a first logic control signal and a second logic control signal. When the first logic control signal is at a fifth level and the second logic control signal is at a sixth level, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 is disconnected. When the power management unit 60 disconnects the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20, the power management unit 60 outputs a third logic control signal and a fourth logic control signal. When the third logic control signal is at a seventh level and the fourth logic control signal is at an eighth level, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 is disconnected. That is, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 can be disconnected either through the main control unit 90 or the power management unit 60, so that if one of the main control unit 90 and the power management unit 60 fails, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 can be disconnected through the other of the main control unit 90 and the power management unit 60. This improves the system robustness of the drying equipment 100.

[0144] In some implementations, the drying equipment 100 remains in a safe mode when the first logic control signal is not at the fifth level or the second logic control signal is not at the sixth level. It is easy to understand that the first logic control signal can be at the fifth level or not, and the second logic control signal can be at the sixth level or not; there are four possible combinations of the first and second logic control signals' levels. To reduce the probability of a fault causing the drying equipment 100 to unexpectedly exit the safe mode, the drying equipment 100 exits the safe mode only when the first logic control signal is at the fifth level and the second logic control signal is at the sixth level, meaning it can be powered on normally. In the other three level combinations, the drying equipment 100 remains in the safe mode and cannot be powered on. In other words, even if the power management unit 60 or other related circuitry malfunctions, causing the output of the first and second logic control signals to become disordered, the drying equipment 100 has only a 25% probability of exiting the safe mode and a 75% probability of remaining in the safe mode, thereby improving the safety and robustness of the drying equipment 100 itself.

[0145] Furthermore, in some of these implementations, please refer to... Figure 18When the drying equipment 100 may also include a power switch 61, one of the third logic control signal and the fourth logic control signal may be a first enable signal, and the other of the third logic control signal and the fourth logic control signal may be a second enable signal. The seventh level state may be the first level state, and the eighth level state may be the second level state. This allows the power management unit 60 to output the first logic control signal and the second logic control signal to cause the power switch 61 to disconnect the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20.

[0146] In some implementations, the drying equipment 100 remains in a safe mode when the third logic control signal is not at the seventh level or the fourth logic control signal is not at the eighth level. It is easy to understand that the third logic control signal can be at the seventh level or not, and the fourth logic control signal can be at the eighth level or not; there are four possible combinations of the third and fourth logic control signals' levels. To reduce the probability of a fault causing the drying equipment 100 to unexpectedly exit the safe mode, the drying equipment 100 exits the safe mode only when the third logic control signal is at the seventh level and the fourth logic control signal is at the eighth level, meaning it can be powered on normally. In the other three level combinations, the drying equipment 100 remains in the safe mode and cannot be powered on. In other words, even if the power management unit 60 or other related circuitry malfunctions, causing the output of the third and fourth logic control signals to become disordered, the drying equipment 100 has only a 25% probability of exiting the safe mode and a 75% probability of remaining in the safe mode, thereby improving the safety and robustness of the drying equipment 100 itself.

[0147] Furthermore, when the main control unit 90 disconnects the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, the main control unit 90 can disconnect the connection between the power switch 61 and the radiation source 20, thereby causing the radiation source 20 to disconnect from the power supply 10. In other words, the power management unit 60 can disconnect the power supply from the power supply 10 to the radiation source 20, and the main control unit 90 can disconnect the connection between the power consumption side and the power supply 10.

[0148] For ease of understanding, the following embodiments are described with the drying equipment 100 including a power switch 61.

[0149] Please refer to Figure 19 In some embodiments, the power supply 10 is connected to the radiation source 20 via a power chip 91, and the power chip 91 can be disconnected to disconnect the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20.

[0150] In this way, the power supply side can be directly disconnected.

[0151] Specifically, in one embodiment, the power chip 91 is connected to the radiation source 20, so that the power supply 10 is connected to the radiation source 20 through the power chip 91. When the connection between the radiation source 20 and the power supply 10 is disconnected by the main control unit 90, the main control unit 90 can control the power chip 91 to disconnect the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 when the first logic control signal output is at the fifth level and the second logic control signal output is at the sixth level, thereby realizing the disconnection between the power consumption side and the power supply 10.

[0152] Please refer to Figure 20 In some embodiments, the drying apparatus 100 further includes a timing unit 92. The timing unit 92 performs a timing operation on at least one of the power management unit 60 and the main control unit 90 for a reset duration. When a feedback operation performed by at least one of the power management unit 60 and the main control unit 90 is received within the reset duration, the timing unit 92 is used to reset the timing operation.

[0153] In this way, it can be determined in a timely manner whether at least one of the power management unit 60 and the main control unit 90 is currently malfunctioning.

[0154] Specifically, in one embodiment, when the power management unit 60 is in normal working condition, a feedback operation is performed before the timing duration obtained by the timing unit 92 through the timing operation is greater than or equal to the reset duration. This allows the timing unit 92 to reset the timing operation and restart timing when it confirms the feedback operation performed by the power management unit 60. In this way, if the timing duration of the timing unit 92 is greater than or equal to the reset duration and it still has not received the feedback operation performed by the power management unit 60, it can be determined that the power management unit 60 is in an abnormal state.

[0155] In another embodiment, when the main control unit 90 is in normal working condition, a feedback operation is performed before the timing duration obtained by the timing unit 92 through the timing operation is greater than or equal to the reset duration. This allows the timing unit 92 to reset the timing operation and restart timing when it confirms the feedback operation performed by the main control unit 90. In this way, if the timing duration of the timing unit 92 is greater than or equal to the reset duration and it still has not received the feedback operation performed by the main control unit 90, it can be determined that the main control unit 90 is in an abnormal state.

[0156] In another embodiment, the timing unit 92 can obtain a first timing duration and a second timing duration through timing operations. When the power management unit 60 and the main control unit 90 are in normal working condition, the power management unit 60 performs a feedback operation before the first timing duration is greater than or equal to the reset duration, and the main control unit 90 performs a feedback operation before the second timing duration is greater than or equal to the reset duration. This causes the timing unit 92 to reset the timing operation for the first timing duration upon confirming the feedback operation performed by the power management unit 60, and also causes the timing unit 92 to reset the timing operation for the second timing duration upon confirming the feedback operation performed by the main control unit 90, thus restarting the timing operation for the second timing duration. If the first timing duration is greater than or equal to the reset duration, it can be determined that the power management unit 60 failed to perform the feedback operation in a timely manner, thereby determining that the power management unit 60 is abnormal. If the second timing duration is greater than or equal to the reset duration, it can be determined that the main control unit 90 failed to perform the feedback operation in a timely manner, thereby determining that the main control unit 90 is abnormal.

[0157] Please refer to Figure 20 In some embodiments, during the timing operation, when the timing duration reaches the reset duration and the power management unit 60 and / or the main control unit 90 has not performed a feedback operation, the timing unit 92 is used to perform a reset operation on the power management unit 60 and / or the main control unit 90. After completing the reset operation, the power management unit 60 and / or the main control unit 90 is used to disconnect the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20.

[0158] This avoids the risk of the power management unit 60 and / or main control unit 90 continuing to operate while in an abnormal state.

[0159] It is understandable that if the power management unit 60 does not perform a feedback operation when the timer reaches the reset time, it can be determined that the power management unit 60 is in an abnormal state. If the power management unit 60 is allowed to continue to work, it may easily lead to hidden dangers (such as incorrect processing of the received signal, thus failing to disconnect the power supply 10 from the radiation source 20). The same risk applies to the main control unit 90.

[0160] In one embodiment, when the power management unit 60 does not perform a feedback operation, a reset operation can be performed on the power management unit 60 via the timing unit 92, thereby resetting the power management unit 60. After the reset is completed, the power management unit 60 will disconnect the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, returning to the shutdown state, thus preventing the power management unit 60 from malfunctioning again and causing the drying equipment 100 to be in an uncontrollable state.

[0161] In another embodiment, when the main control unit 90 does not perform a feedback operation, a reset operation can be performed on the main control unit 90 through the timing unit 92, thereby resetting the main control unit 90. After completing the reset, the main control unit 90 will disconnect the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, returning to the shutdown state, to prevent the main control unit 90 from malfunctioning again and causing the drying equipment 100 to be in an uncontrollable state.

[0162] In addition, when it is confirmed that neither the power management unit 60 nor the main control unit 90 has performed a feedback operation, the timing unit 92 can be used to perform a reset operation on the power management unit 60 and the main control unit 90, so that both the power management unit 60 and the main control unit 90 are reset. After the timing unit 92 completes the reset operation, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 is disconnected through the power management unit 60 and the main control unit 90.

[0163] Please refer to Figure 21 This application provides a drying device 100, including a power supply 10, a radiation source 20, an operating component 30, an attitude detection unit 70, and a main control unit 90. The radiation source 20 is electrically connected to the power supply 10. After being operated, the operating component 30 controls the power supply 10 to conduct through the radiation source 20. The attitude detection unit 70 is used to detect the attitude information and corresponding time of the drying device 100, and outputs an attitude signal. The main control unit 90 is used to receive the attitude signal and adjust the power of the radiation source 20.

[0164] The power of the radiation source 20 can be adjusted according to the different current postures of the drying equipment 100 to avoid the drying equipment 100 from continuing to operate due to accidental touch, failure to turn off, or short circuit, thereby preventing flammable objects around the drying equipment 100 from being heated and ignited by the radiation source 20.

[0165] Specifically, in Figure 21 In the embodiment shown, the attitude detection unit 70 detects the attitude information and corresponding time of the drying device 100 and outputs an attitude signal, so that the main control unit 90 adjusts the power of the radiation source 20 according to the received attitude signal. This allows the drying device 100 to adjust the output power of the radiation source 20 according to the current attitude, thus preventing the radiation source 20 from continuously heating the surrounding objects and causing spontaneous combustion.

[0166] In some embodiments, the radiation source 20 can radiate visible light, infrared light of a preset frequency band, or a combination of visible and infrared light. In some embodiments, the radiation source 20 transfers energy (such as heat) outward through the radiated light, thereby causing surrounding target objects (such as hair, body parts, fibers, etc.) to receive the radiated energy and heat up, achieving a drying effect. In one embodiment, the drying device 100 can be a hair dryer, where the radiated energy and airflow work together to accelerate the drying efficiency of the target object.

[0167] It can be understood that, for the drying equipment 100, the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 can be controlled by operating the operating component 30, thereby enabling the power supply 10 to supply power to the radiation source 20. In other words, the actual function of the operating component 30 can be understood as a switch on a general electrical device, allowing the drying equipment 100 to switch between being turned off and being turned on for normal use after operation.

[0168] In practical use, common electrical appliances, especially those with rechargeable batteries and easy to carry, often experience malfunctions such as accidental activation. In this embodiment, the drying device 100 uses a radiation source 20 to radiate energy. When the drying device 100 is in motion, the radiation source 20 continues to operate. When the drying device 100 is stationary, the radiation source 20 continues to radiate energy. If the drying device 100 is placed near objects, these objects may accumulate the radiated energy and heat up. For some low-ignition-point objects, this can easily lead to spontaneous combustion and further cause a fire. In other embodiments, accidental activation of the drying device 100 by minors (such as children) or animals poses a safety hazard.

[0169] Therefore, for the drying equipment 100 of this application, by determining the current attitude of the drying equipment 100, the output power of the radiation source 20 is adjusted accordingly, and the connection between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20 is disconnected when it is confirmed that the user has not yet noticed that the drying equipment 100 is in the on state, thereby avoiding the occurrence of disasters and improving the safety of the drying equipment 100 itself.

[0170] In other embodiments, the power source 10 may be a battery installed on the drying equipment 100, or a power supply facility that requires a wired connection, with the drying equipment 100 connected to the power supply facility via a pre-set power cord.

[0171] In some embodiments, the attitude detection unit 70 may include at least one of a position sensor, a distance sensor, a state sensor, and a vision sensor.

[0172] Specifically, in one embodiment, the attitude detection unit 70 includes a position sensor, such as an IMU, which can detect the inertia of the drying device 100. Based on the detected inertia, the attitude information of the drying device 100 can be determined. In another embodiment, the attitude detection unit 70 includes a distance sensor, such as an ultrasonic or infrared sensor, which can detect the distance between the drying device 100 and surrounding objects. When the distance between the drying device 100 and surrounding objects remains constant, it can be determined that the drying device 100 is in a stationary posture. When the distance between the drying device 100 and surrounding objects changes dynamically, the specific attitude information of the drying device 100 during movement can be determined based on the distance change value. In yet another embodiment, the attitude detection unit 70 includes a state sensor, such as an altimeter, barometer, or magnetometer, which can detect the current state of the drying device 100. When the current state of the drying device 100 remains constant, it can be determined that the drying device 100 is in a stationary posture. In another embodiment, the attitude detection unit 70 includes a vision sensor, such as a binocular or monocular sensor, which can acquire image information around the drying device 100. When the image information around the drying device 100 is detected to remain unchanged, it can be determined that the drying device 100 is in a stationary attitude.

[0173] Please refer to Figure 21 In some embodiments, when the attitude detection unit 70 detects that the attitude information of the drying equipment 100 meets the first range, it outputs a first attitude signal, and the main control unit 90 controls the radiation source 20 to operate at a first radiation power according to the first attitude signal.

[0174] Therefore, it can be determined that the drying equipment 100 is operating normally.

[0175] Specifically, when the attitude information of the drying equipment 100 meets the first range, it can be determined that the drying equipment 100 is in a relatively strong motion (e.g., shaking within a certain range). The attitude detection unit 70 will output a first attitude signal, and the main control unit 90 will control the radiation source 20 to operate at a first radiation power according to the first attitude signal, so that the drying equipment 100 can operate normally. The first range can correspond to the shaking amplitude of the relatively strong motion of the drying equipment 100. It is easy to understand that since the drying equipment 100 radiates energy to the external object through the radiation source 20, it heats and dries the object after a period of time. However, in a relatively violent motion, it is difficult for the drying equipment 100 to continuously align with the same part of the external object. In order to ensure its working efficiency, the radiation source 20 operates normally at a higher first radiation power in this state.

[0176] Please refer to Figure 21In some embodiments, the attitude detection unit 70 outputs a second attitude signal when the second range is met, and the second range is smaller than the first range. The main control unit 90 controls the radiation source 20 to operate alternately with a second radiation power and a third radiation power, or to switch to a fourth radiation power, according to the second attitude signal. The second radiation power is greater than the third radiation power, and both the fourth and third radiation powers are less than the first radiation power.

[0177] In this way, the power of the radiation source 20 can be dynamically adjusted according to the current operating state of the drying equipment 100.

[0178] Specifically, in some implementations, when the shaking of the drying equipment 100 is relatively gentle, it can be determined that the attitude detection unit 70 meets the second range. The attitude detection unit 70 then outputs a second attitude signal, causing the main control unit 90 to control the radiation source 20 to operate alternately at a second and third radiation power, or switch to a fourth radiation power, based on the second attitude signal. Both the third and fourth radiation powers are less than the first radiation power. This reduces the output power of the radiation source 20. The second range corresponds to the amplitude of movement of the drying equipment 100 when the shaking is relatively gentle. Compared to the motion state corresponding to the first range, the motion amplitude corresponding to the second range is more gentle. In this state, the drying equipment 100 may continuously operate at the same point on an external object for a longer period. If the first radiation power is maintained, the radiated energy may rapidly accumulate, causing the temperature of the external object to rise rapidly, leading to danger. Therefore, in this state, switching to alternating operation at the second and third radiation powers, or maintaining operation at the fourth radiation power, reduces the radiation intensity to the external object and improves the safety of the drying equipment 100 itself.

[0179] Please refer to Figure 21 In some embodiments, the attitude detection unit 70 detects that the drying equipment 100 is in a stationary state, and outputs a third attitude signal when the corresponding time reaches a first threshold. The main control unit 90 controls the radiation source 20 to operate alternately with a second radiation power and a third radiation power according to the third attitude signal, wherein the second radiation power is greater than the third radiation power and the third radiation power is less than the first radiation power.

[0180] This avoids the problem of the drying equipment 100 running continuously without supervision.

[0181] Specifically, in some implementations, when the drying equipment 100 is stationary, the duration of stationary operation can be detected by the attitude detection unit 70. When the duration reaches a first threshold, the attitude detection unit 70 outputs a third attitude signal, causing the main control unit 90 to control the radiation source 20 to alternately operate at a second radiation power and a third radiation power lower than the first radiation power, thereby reducing the output power of the radiation source 20 and preventing objects with low ignition points around it from being heated and ignited. In other implementations, upon responding to the third attitude signal, the main control unit 90 controls the radiation source 20 to alternately operate at the second and third radiation powers for a certain period of time, and then switches to a fourth radiation power. The fourth radiation power can be a lower power, used only to indicate that the drying equipment 100 is still operating; the fourth radiation power can also be zero, that is, the radiation source 20 is temporarily turned off. In a more specific embodiment, after temporarily shutting down the radiation source 20, the main control unit 90 controls the drying device 100 to enter standby mode. In this mode, although the radiation source 20 is not working, the drying device 100 is not in a shutdown state. After the attitude signal changes (for example, the user picks up the drying device 100 after putting it down), it can immediately respond to the corresponding attitude signal and control the radiation source 20 to switch to the corresponding output power.

[0182] Furthermore, the second radiation power of radiation source 20 under the second attitude signal and the second radiation power of radiation source 20 under the third attitude signal can be the same or different. The third radiation power of radiation source 20 under the second attitude signal and the third radiation power of radiation source 20 under the third attitude signal can also be the same or different.

[0183] Please refer to Figure 21 In some embodiments, the attitude detection unit 70 detects that the drying device 100 is in a stationary state, and when the corresponding time exceeds a first threshold and reaches a second threshold, it outputs a fourth attitude signal. The main control unit 90 shuts down the radiation source 20 based on the fourth attitude signal.

[0184] This avoids the potential dangers caused by the drying equipment 100 being away from user control for too long.

[0185] Specifically, in some of these embodiments, when the drying equipment 100 is stationary, the duration of the stationary state can be detected by the attitude detection unit 70. When the duration reaches a second threshold greater than the first threshold, the attitude detection unit 70 will output a fourth attitude signal, so that the main control unit 90 will shut down the radiation source 20 according to the fourth attitude signal to prevent surrounding objects with low ignition points from being heated and ignited.

[0186] In addition, the first radiation power, second radiation power, third radiation power, and fourth radiation power of radiation source 20 can be specific power values ​​of radiation source 20, or they can be power ranges during operation of radiation source 20. Each power range can overlap or not overlap.

[0187] The attitude switching process of the aforementioned drying equipment 100 can be illustrated through the following specific application scenarios:

[0188] When a user picks up and uses the drying device 100, and their movements are large, i.e., drying a large area of ​​an external object (e.g., drying wet hair), the user will continuously move the drying device 100. In this case, the radiation source 20 operates at a higher first radiation power. When the user's movements are smaller, i.e., drying a smaller area of ​​an external object (e.g., drying only a specific part of the hair), to avoid the danger caused by a rapid increase in temperature, the output power of the radiation source switches from the first radiation power to alternating between the second and third radiation powers, i.e., a breathing mode. When the user's use is interrupted and the drying device 100 is casually placed on a table or charging dock, the drying device 100 is in a stationary position. After operating in the breathing mode (alternating between the second and third radiation powers) for a period of time, the radiation source 20 enters a standby mode (the output power of the radiation source 20 is zero, but the drying device 100 is not disconnected from the power supply) to prevent the placed drying device 100 from igniting low-ignition-point items such as towels. In standby mode, if the user picks up the drying device 100 again, the drying device 100 will switch the radiation source 20 to the corresponding output power based on the user's action. If the standby mode time exceeds a preset value (i.e., the aforementioned second threshold) and the user still does not use the drying device 100 again, it can be determined that the user has stopped using the drying device 100. To avoid energy consumption, the drying device 100 will enter a shutdown state. From the above process, it can be seen that the drying device 100 can switch its working state according to the user's operation, providing a more intelligent operating experience and possessing high safety.

[0189] Please refer to Figure 22In some embodiments, the drying device 100 includes a motor 80 for generating airflow. A main control unit 90 receives attitude signals and adjusts the power of the motor 80. Specifically, the power of the motor 80 can be adjusted according to different attitude signals received by the main control unit 90. In one embodiment, the attitude signal is a first attitude signal, and the power of the motor 80 is a first airflow power. In another embodiment, the attitude signal is a second attitude signal, and the power of the motor 80 is a second airflow power greater than the first airflow power. In yet another embodiment, the attitude signal is a third attitude signal, and the power of the motor 80 is a third airflow power greater than the second airflow power. In still another embodiment, the attitude signal is a fourth attitude signal, and the power of the motor 80 is zero. This improves the heat dissipation effect on surrounding objects.

[0190] In addition, in some embodiments, the power of the motor 80 and the power of the radiation source 20 can be matched. In one embodiment, when the attitude signal is a first attitude signal, the radiation source 20 operates at a first radiation power and the motor 80 operates at a first exhaust power; when the attitude signal is a second attitude signal, the radiation source 20 operates at a fourth radiation power and the motor 80 operates at a second exhaust power; when the attitude signal is a third attitude signal, the radiation source 20 operates alternately at the second and third radiation powers and the motor 80 operates at a third exhaust power.

[0191] Additionally, please refer to Figure 23 ,exist Figure 23 In the illustrated embodiment, the power management unit 60 can output a first enable signal and a second enable signal to the logic gate circuit through two GPIO (General-purpose input / output) ports. When the first enable signal is at a first level and the second enable signal is at a second level, a control signal is sent to the discharge switch 62, so that the discharge switch 62 controls whether the power switch 61 can conduct the path between the power supply 10 and the radiation source 20, and controls whether the discharge switch 62 can conduct the path between the power supply 10 and the motor 80, according to the control signal.

[0192] When power switch 61 connects power supply 10 to radiation source 20 and motor 80, power switch 61 provides battery power to radiation source 20 and motor 80. When the main control unit 90 controls the power chip 91 connected to radiation source 20 and power chip 91 connected to motor 80 to conduct, radiation source 20 and motor 80 can be electrically connected to power supply 10 respectively, thereby enabling power supply 10 to supply power to radiation source 20 and motor 80.

[0193] When the power supply 10 supplies power to the motor 80, the main control unit 90 can generate a drive signal, which enables the main control unit 90 to connect the power supply 10 and the motor 80 through the power supply switch 63, so that the main control unit 90 can control the motor 80 to start and stop.

[0194] Based on the above, the main control unit 90 can sample the current of the radiation source 20 and the current of the motor 80 respectively. When the current of the radiation source 20 is abnormal, the main control unit 90 will disconnect the path between the radiation source 20 and the power supply 10, as well as the path between the motor 80 and the power supply 10.

[0195] Please combine Figure 14 Specifically, by installing a temperature measuring element 82 inside the air outlet duct 81 of the drying equipment 100, the temperature inside the air outlet duct 81 can be detected, thereby determining the airflow situation inside the air outlet duct 81 and obtaining a wind speed measurement signal.
