Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to hair washing equipment, belonging to the field of household appliances, specifically a standing hair washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most common hair washing machines are used in barbershops. Their main structure includes a body for people to lie down and a washing chamber. The washing chamber is equipped with a shower head and a drainage system. The hair washing needs to be done manually.

[0003] In view of this, the applicant filed Chinese invention patents in 2019 and 2020 with application numbers 201910464906.1 and 202010964070.4 respectively, to enable the shampoo machine to complete the shampooing operation automatically and save labor costs. However, both of these shampoo machines are horizontal in layout and occupy a large area. In busy urban areas, storefront rent accounts for a high proportion of costs, so there is a need to design a vertical shampoo machine that occupies less space. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical shampoo machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A vertical shampoo machine includes a housing, a water supply mechanism, and a shampooing mechanism. The housing is vertically oriented, with a shampooing compartment for accommodating the head at the top. The water supply mechanism includes a cold water inlet pipe, a hot water inlet pipe, a water temperature regulator, and a shower head. The cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe are respectively connected to the water temperature regulator, which is connected to the shower head via a connecting pipe. The shampooing mechanism includes a hairband motor, a shampoo belt, and drive rollers. The shampoo belt is wound around multiple drive rollers, and the hairband motor drives the drive rollers via belt drive. Several shampoo brushes are arranged on the outer surface of the shampoo belt.

[0007] When using it, put your head into the shampoo chamber. After adjusting the hot and cold water, the water will be discharged from the shower head onto your hair. The headband motor drives the transmission roller to make the shampoo belt rotate in a cycle. The shampoo brush rubs the hair and scalp to complete the shampooing process.

[0008] The invention is further improved by including a solenoid valve and a water temperature probe in the water supply mechanism. The inlet of the solenoid valve is connected to the water temperature regulator, and the outlet of the solenoid valve is connected to the water shower head. The water temperature probe is set at the outlet of the water temperature regulator or the inlet of the solenoid valve to achieve precise adjustment of the water flow rate and flow speed of the water shower head.

[0009] The invention is further improved by setting two sets of water spray heads, which are respectively set on both sides of the shampoo chamber. Each set has two water spray heads, which are arranged at intervals to achieve uniform spraying of the head from multiple directions.
