Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hair care technology, and in particular to a steam straightening comb. [Background Technology]

[0002] Steam straighteners can make hair smooth and voluminous, and their ease of use has made them a popular hair styling tool. However, existing steam straighteners have limited capacity due to their internal reservoir, which requires high waterproofing. Furthermore, the poorly designed steam outlets in current technology result in an inefficient steam flow path, causing a significant amount of steam to escape into the external environment without reaching the hair. This leads to substantial steam waste, requiring users to frequently add solution to the reservoir, negatively impacting the user experience. [Summary of the Invention]

[0016] Preferably, the comb plate is further provided with heat-insulating teeth surrounding the comb teeth.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the steam straightening comb provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a liquid storage device connected to the housing and partially exposed. The size and shape of the liquid storage device can be freely modified according to needs, thereby effectively increasing its capacity. This eliminates the need for users to frequently add solution to the liquid storage device, making operation more convenient. Simultaneously, this design reduces the requirements for waterproof performance of the internal circuitry, effectively reducing production processes and costs. At least some of the comb teeth are provided with steam outlets connected to a steam generator. The steam outlets are located at the end of the comb teeth near the comb tooth plate and are aligned with the same center line as the comb tooth plate. The liquid in the storage device evaporates through the steam generator, and the resulting steam is discharged through the steam outlets, improving the steam flow path and allowing the sprayed steam to better contact the hair. This effectively prevents steam from overflowing into the external environment, reducing steam waste. Furthermore, there is a certain distance between the steam outlets and the tips of the comb teeth, preventing steam from directly contacting the scalp during release. This improves safety while effectively heating and softening the hair, enhancing the efficiency and effect of straightening.

[0019] 2. The steam straightener of the present invention features a secondary evaporation chamber in its steam generator, which performs secondary evaporation on the steam generated in the steam generation chamber, improving the atomization effect of the steam. A sealing element ensures that steam within the steam generator does not leak to the outside and helps maintain a stable internal temperature. The sealing element and the steam generator are detachably connected, allowing users to clean and maintain the device. The steam channel on the sealing element forms a meandering steam flow path, slowing the flow rate of the primary vaporized steam from the steam generation chamber into the secondary evaporation chamber, ensuring that the primary vaporized steam is fully vaporized in the secondary evaporation chamber. Simultaneously, a water inlet connects the liquid storage device to the steam generation chamber, replenishing the steam generation chamber with water to maintain a stable and uniform amount of steam output.

[0020] 3. The steam straightening comb of the present invention features a first heating chamber and a steam generating chamber stacked together, optimizing the heat transfer process. This allows the heat generated in the first heating chamber to be rapidly transferred to the steam generating chamber with minimal loss, thus improving steam generation efficiency. Two secondary evaporation chambers are located on either side of the first heating chamber and the steam generating chamber. The first heating chamber continuously provides heat to both the steam generating chamber and the secondary evaporation chamber, causing larger water droplets in the steam generated in the steam generating chamber to be evaporated a second time in the secondary evaporation chamber, preventing these larger droplets from being directly sprayed out and affecting the straightening effect on the hair.

[0021] 4. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a liquid storage device located on the handle near the end of the comb tooth plate, which can shorten the transmission distance of the solution in the liquid storage device. The liquid storage device is partially embedded in the groove on the handle and partially exposed on the handle, which can effectively increase its capacity. This eliminates the need for users to frequently add solution to the liquid storage device, making it convenient for users to operate. At the same time, this design reduces the requirements for waterproof performance of its internal circuitry, which can effectively reduce the production process and reduce production costs.

[0022] 5. The steam straightening comb of the present invention includes a liquid storage device comprising a water tank and a ring belt connected to the water tank. The water tank is partially embedded in a first groove, and the ring belt is embedded in a second groove. The ring belt design increases the stability of the liquid storage device and also has a certain aesthetic effect.

[0023] 6. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has an observation window on the side of the water tank away from the handle housing, which is convenient for the user to observe the internal state of the water tank and add solution in time. At the same time, the detachable design of the water tank allows the water tank to be removed separately when adding solution, making the operation easier and more convenient, and also eliminating the risk of water entering the main body when adding solution.

[0024] 7. In the steam straightening comb of the present invention, the water outlet end of the water inlet extends into the middle part of the steam generating chamber, which can safely introduce the solution without leakage, and at the same time lengthens the flow distance of the solution in the steam generating chamber, ensuring that the first heating element in the steam generating device can fully heat the solution to generate steam, and ensuring that the generation and release of steam proceed normally.

[0025] 8. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a second heating chamber formed by the comb teeth plate and the partition plate. A second heating element is provided in the heating chamber for heating part of the comb teeth. A heat insulation space is formed between the steam generating device and the partition plate to separate the first heating element located in the steam generating device and the second heating element located in the heating chamber, so that the two are independent effective heat sources and are not affected by the temperature change of each other due to the temperature rise or fall of each other.

[0026] 9. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a heat insulation plate positioned on the side of the heating plate away from the partition, reducing heat transfer from the heating plate to the external environment, improving heat insulation effect, and reducing the risk of users coming into contact with overheated surfaces. The comb teeth connected to the heating plate are heating comb teeth. A heat insulation sleeve is provided on the heat insulation plate, and the heat insulation sleeve is at least partially fitted onto the heating comb teeth. The heating comb teeth concentrate the heat from the heating plate to provide heat to the hair to achieve a straightening effect, while the heat insulation sleeve can limit heat loss, ensuring that the heat energy is mainly transferred to the comb teeth and then from the comb teeth to the hair, thereby improving the straightening effect.

[0027] 10. In the steam straightening comb of the present invention, a first sealing element is provided between the heat insulation plate and the heating plate, a second sealing element is provided between the comb tooth plate and the housing, and a matching third sealing element is provided on the housing. The first sealing element, the second sealing element and the third sealing element are all used to seal the gaps between the mating surfaces of each component, further waterproofing and dustproofing the steam straightening comb.

[0028] 11. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a heating opening on the heat insulation sleeve, and at least one side of the heating comb teeth is exposed from the heating opening, so that it can directly contact the hair, improve the heat transfer efficiency, improve the straightening efficiency, and at the same time ensure that the ends are protected by the heat insulation sleeve, and ensure that the heating comb teeth mainly contact the hair rather than the skin, reducing the risk of skin burns, and making the user operation more comfortable and convenient.

[0029] 12. The steam straightener of the present invention is further provided with heat-insulating teeth surrounding the comb teeth on the comb tooth plate. The heat-insulating teeth are used to prevent the steam comb teeth and the heated comb teeth from directly contacting the scalp or skin, effectively reducing the risk of burns. At the same time, they limit the range of steam and heat dissipation, concentrate the heat and steam in the comb tooth area, reduce heat loss, and transfer it to the hair more effectively, thereby improving the efficiency of straightening hair. In addition, the heat-insulating teeth also help to reduce the surface temperature around the steam straightener, reducing discomfort to the skin of the hand holding area.

[0048] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a steam straightening comb 1, including a main body 10 and a comb plate 11 connected to the main body 10. The main body 10 includes a housing 15, a steam generating device 12 disposed inside the housing 15, and a liquid storage device 13 connected to the housing 15 and partially exposed outside the housing 15. The liquid storage device 13 is connected to the steam generating device 12. The comb plate 11 is provided with comb teeth 111, and at least a portion of the comb teeth 111 is provided with steam outlet holes 1111 that are connected to the steam generating device 12. The steam outlet holes 1111 are located on the comb teeth 111 near one end of the comb plate 11, and the steam outlet holes 1111 are arranged facing the same center line of the comb plate 11. The steam generated after the liquid in the liquid storage device 13 flows through the steam generating device 12 and evaporates is discharged through the steam outlet holes 1111.

[0049] Understandably, the liquid storage device 13 is connected to the housing 15 and partially exposed within the housing 15. Therefore, the size and shape of the liquid storage device 13 can be freely modified according to requirements, thereby effectively increasing its capacity. This eliminates the need for users to frequently add solution to the liquid storage device 13, making operation more convenient. Simultaneously, this design reduces the requirements for waterproofing of its internal circuitry, effectively reducing production processes and lowering production costs.

[0050] Understandably, the liquid in the liquid storage device 13 evaporates through the steam generator 12, and the resulting steam is discharged through the steam outlet 1111. The steam outlet 1111 is located on the comb teeth 111 near the comb tooth plate 11, and the steam outlet 1111 is set towards the same center line as the comb tooth plate 11. Therefore, the steam flow path is improved, allowing the sprayed steam to better contact the hair, effectively preventing steam from overflowing into the external environment and reducing steam waste. In addition, there is a certain distance between the steam outlet 1111 and the top of the comb teeth 111, which can prevent the steam from directly contacting the scalp during the release of steam from the steam outlet 1111. This improves safety performance while effectively heating and softening the hair, improving the efficiency and effect of straightening hair.

[0051] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the steam outlet 1111 is positioned facing the same center line as the comb plate 11. This center line can be selected along the length of the comb plate 11, such as... Figure 3 The center line AA' and the steam outlet 1111 are both set towards the center line AA'. When the steam generated by the steam generator is ejected from the steam outlet 1111, its heat and steam effect can more comprehensively cover the entire comb plate, which helps to heat each strand of hair evenly during operation and make the straightening effect more consistent.

[0052] Please combine further Figure 4 The steam generating device 12 includes a steam generating chamber 121, a secondary evaporation chamber 122, and a sealing element 123. The sealing element 123 is disposed at both ends of the steam generating chamber 121. One of the sealing elements 123 is provided with a water guide port 1231, which connects the liquid storage device 13 and the steam generating chamber 121. At least one sealing element 123 is provided with a steam passage 1232 that connects the steam generating chamber 121 and the secondary evaporation chamber 122.

[0053] Understandably, the steam generator 12 is equipped with a secondary evaporation chamber 122 to perform secondary evaporation on the steam generated in the steam generation chamber 121, thereby improving the atomization effect of the steam.

[0054] Understandably, the main function of the seal 123 is to ensure that the steam inside the steam generator 12 does not leak into the external environment accidentally, and to help maintain the temperature stability inside the steam generator 12. Furthermore, the seal 123 is detachably connected to the steam generator 12, allowing users to clean and maintain it.

[0055] Understandably, the seals 123 are located at both ends of the steam generator 12. Specifically, the steam channel 1232 is not a single channel; multiple winding channels can be used to connect the steam generation chamber 121 and the secondary evaporation chamber 122, forming a circuitous steam flow path. This slows down the flow rate of the primary vaporized steam from the steam generation chamber into the secondary evaporation chamber 122, ensuring that the primary vaporized steam is fully vaporized in the secondary evaporation chamber 122. In this embodiment, the steam channel 1232 is not specifically limited, as long as it can connect the steam generation chamber 121 and the secondary evaporation chamber 122.

[0056] Understandably, the water inlet connects the liquid storage device and the steam generation chamber to replenish the water source for the steam generation chamber, thereby maintaining a stable and uniform amount of steam ejected.

[0057] Please continue reading. Figure 4 The steam generating device 12 includes a steam box 124. The steam box 124 is provided with a partition structure 1241, which divides the steam box 124 into a first heating chamber 125, a steam generating chamber 121 and a secondary evaporation chamber 122 that are independent of each other. The first heating chamber 125 and the steam generating chamber 121 are stacked. There are two secondary evaporation chambers 122, located on both sides of the first heating chamber 125 and the steam generating chamber 121. The first heating element 1251 is provided in the first heating chamber 125.

[0058] Understandably, the stacked arrangement of the first heating chamber 125 and the steam generating chamber 121 optimizes the heat transfer process, enabling the heat generated by the first heating chamber 125 to be quickly transferred to the steam generating chamber 121 with less loss, thereby improving the efficiency of steam generation.

[0059] Understandably, there are two secondary evaporation chambers 122, located on both sides of the first heating chamber 125 and the steam generation chamber 121. The first heating chamber 125 continuously provides heat to the steam generation chamber 121 and the secondary evaporation chamber 122, so that the larger water droplets contained in the steam generated in the steam generation chamber are evaporated again in the secondary evaporation chamber 122, thus preventing the larger water droplets from being sprayed out directly and affecting the hair straightening effect.

[0060] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a detachable bottom plate 126 is provided on the side of the steam box 124 away from the comb plate 11, and the bottom plate 126 and the partition structure 1241 form a steam generation chamber 121.

[0061] Understandably, the interior of the steam generator 12 needs to be sprayed with vaporized oil, and the removable base plate 126 ensures the consistency of the oil spraying process. Simultaneously, when it is necessary to remove dirt or other impurities, the base plate 126 can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance. Furthermore, the removability of the base plate 126 allows for adjustment of the volume of the steam generation chamber as needed; by increasing or decreasing the number or size of the base plates 126, the size and shape of the chamber can be changed to achieve optimal evaporation effect and performance.

[0062] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 5 The end of the main body 10 away from the comb plate 11 is defined as the grip part 14. The liquid storage device 13 is disposed on the grip part 14 near the end of the comb plate 11. A groove 141 matching the liquid storage device 13 is provided on one side of the grip part 14, and the liquid storage device 13 is partially embedded in the groove 141.

[0063] Understandably, the liquid storage device 13 is located on the grip portion 14 near the comb plate 11, which can shorten the transmission distance of the solution in the liquid storage device 13. The liquid storage device 13 is partially embedded in the groove 141 on the grip portion 14 and partially exposed on the grip portion 14, which can effectively increase its capacity, so that the user does not need to frequently add solution to the liquid storage device 13 during use, which is convenient for the user. At the same time, this design reduces the requirements for the waterproof performance of its internal circuit, which can effectively reduce the production process and reduce production costs.

[0064] Furthermore, the liquid storage device 13 includes a water tank 131 and a ring belt 132 connected to the water tank 131. The groove 141 includes a first groove 1411 and a second groove 1412. The water tank 131 is partially embedded in the first groove 1411, and the ring belt 132 is embedded in the second groove 1412.

[0065] Understandably, the water tank 131 is used to hold a solution for moistening hair, which can be purified water, hair conditioner, etc. The ring 132 is used to increase the stability of the liquid storage device 13 and also has a certain aesthetic function. In this embodiment, the specific shape of the water tank 131 is not limited, as long as the water tank 131 is partially embedded in the first groove 1411.

[0066] Understandably, in this embodiment, the water tank 131 and the comb teeth 111 are located on opposite sides of the main body, so that the water tank 131 and the comb teeth 111 will not interfere with each other when the user combs their hair or adds solution to the water tank.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first buckle 1321 is provided on one of the ring belt 132 and the second groove 1412, and a first groove 1413 that mates with the first buckle 1321 is provided on the other. After the ring belt 132 and the second groove 1412 are fitted together, the first groove 1413 mates with the first buckle 1321. A second buckle 1312 is provided on one of the water tank 131 and the ring belt 132, and a second groove 1322 that mates with the second buckle 1312 is provided on the other. After the water tank 131 and the ring belt 132 are connected, the second groove 1322 mates with the second buckle 1312.

[0068] Understandably, the first buckle 1321 and the corresponding first groove 1413 can be configured as one or more sets, and their shape and size are not specifically limited, as long as they can securely embed the ring 132 into the second groove 1412. The second buckle 1312 and the corresponding second groove 1322 can be configured as one or more sets, and their shape and size are not specifically limited, as long as they can securely connect the water tank 131 to the ring 132.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first buckle 1321 and the corresponding first slot 1413 are configured in three sets. The first buckle 1321 is disposed on the ring belt 132, and the first slot 1413 is disposed on the second groove 1412. After the ring belt 132 is sleeved on the second groove 1412, the first slot 1413 engages with the first buckle 1321. The second buckle 1312 and the corresponding second slot 1322 are configured in two sets. The second buckle 1312 is disposed at both ends of the water tank 131, and the second slot 1322 is disposed at both ends of the ring belt 132. After the water tank 131 is connected to the ring belt 132, the second slot 1322 engages with the second buckle 1312.

[0070] Furthermore, an observation window 1311 is provided on the side of the water tank 131 away from the housing 15 of the grip part 14.

[0071] Understandably, the observation window 1311 on the water tank 131 facilitates the user's observation of the internal state of the water tank and timely replenishment of solution. In this embodiment, the size, shape, and position of the observation window 1314 are not specifically limited, as long as they can satisfy the user's ability to observe the internal condition of the water tank 131.

[0072] Understandably, the water tank 131 is detachably connected to the main body 10, and the water inlet of the water tank 131 can be hidden on the side of the water tank 131 near the first groove 1411, making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing. When the user adds solution to the water tank 131, the water tank 131 can be removed separately, which is more convenient and also eliminates the risk of water entering the main body 10.

[0073] Please continue reading. Figure 4 A water inlet 1211 is provided in the steam generating chamber 121. One end of the water inlet 1211 is connected to the water inlet 1231, and the other end of the water inlet 1211 is defined as the water outlet 1212. The water outlet 1212 extends into the middle position of the steam generating chamber 121, and the water outlet 1212 is provided with a water outlet hole 1213.

[0074] Understandably, the outlet end 1212 of the water inlet 1211 extends into the middle part of the steam generation chamber 121, which can safely introduce the solution without leakage, and at the same time lengthen the flow distance of the solution in the steam generation chamber 121, ensuring that the first heating element 1251 in the steam generator 12 can fully heat the solution to generate steam, and ensuring that the generation and release of steam proceed normally.

[0075] In this embodiment, the base plate 126 and the water inlet 1211 are integrally formed. Since the base plate 126 and the water inlet 1211 are integrated, the overall structure is more compact and simple, reducing the number of parts and assembly steps, and improving production efficiency. The seamless connection and integral forming between the two ensure a lower risk of leakage, which helps to prevent water or steam leakage and improves the efficiency and safety of the system.

[0076] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a water-absorbing element 1214 is provided inside the steam generating chamber 121.

[0077] Understandably, a water suction element 1214 is provided inside the steam generation chamber 121. The water suction element 1214 can provide a water supply for the steam generation device 12 to maintain a stable steam output and help maintain a stable water level in the steam generation chamber. The water level and steam output can also be controlled by appropriately adjusting the size and position of the water suction element 1214 to meet specific operational requirements.

[0078] Please combine further Figure 2 and Figure 6 The main body 10 also includes a partition 101 disposed near the comb plate 11. The comb plate 11 and the partition 101 enclose a second heating chamber 102, and a second heating element 1021 is disposed inside the heating chamber.

[0079] Furthermore, a heat-insulating space 103 is formed between the steam generator 12 and the partition 101.

[0080] Furthermore, the comb plate 11 includes a heat insulation plate 112 and a heating plate 113. The heating plate 113 is disposed near the partition 101, and the heat insulation plate 112 is disposed on the side of the heating plate 113 away from the partition 101. The comb teeth 111 with steam outlet holes 1111 are defined as steam comb teeth 1112. The remaining comb teeth 111, excluding the steam comb teeth 1112, are at least partially connected to the heating plate 113. The comb teeth 111 connected to the heating plate 113 are defined as heating comb teeth 1113. A heat insulation sleeve 1121 is disposed on the heat insulation plate 112, and the heat insulation sleeve 1121 is at least partially fitted onto the heating comb teeth 111.

[0081] Understandably, the second heating element 1021 is used to heat the heating comb teeth 1113. A heat insulation space 103 is formed between the steam generating device 12 and the partition 101 to separate the first heating element 1251 located in the steam generating device 12 and the second heating element 1021 located in the heating chamber, so that the two are independent effective heat sources and are not affected by each other's temperature rise or fall.

[0082] Understandably, placing the heat insulation plate 112 on the side of the heating plate 113 away from the partition 101 can reduce the heat transfer of the heating plate 113 to the external environment, improve the heat insulation effect, and reduce the risk of users coming into contact with overheated surfaces.

[0083] Understandably, the heated comb teeth 1113 concentrate the heat from the heating plate 113 to provide heat to the hair to achieve the effect of straightening by heat. The heat insulation sleeve 1121 can limit the loss of heat from the heated comb teeth 1113, ensuring that the heat energy is mainly transferred to the heated comb teeth 1113 and then transferred to the hair by the heated comb teeth 1113, thereby improving the straightening effect.

[0084] Please continue reading. Figure 6 A first sealing element 115 is provided between the heat insulation plate 112 and the heating plate 113, a second sealing element 116 is provided between the comb plate 11 and the housing 15, and a matching third sealing element 151 is provided on the housing 15.

[0085] Understandably, in this embodiment, the housing 15 includes an upper housing 152 and a lower housing 153. The upper housing 152 and the lower housing 153 cooperate to form an accommodating space. The steam generator 12 and internal circuits are all disposed in the accommodating space. The third sealing member 151 is disposed at the mating point of the upper housing 152 and the lower housing 153.

[0086] Understandably, the first seal 115, the second seal 116 and the third seal 151 are all used to seal the gaps between the mating surfaces of each component, further waterproofing and dustproofing the steam straightener 1.

[0087] Please combine further Figure 7The heat insulation sleeve 1121 has a heating opening 1122, and at least one side of the heating comb teeth 111 is exposed from the heating opening 1122.

[0088] Understandably, the heat insulation sleeve 1121 has a heating opening 1122, through which at least one side of the heated comb teeth 111 protrudes. This allows them to directly contact the hair, improving heat transfer efficiency and straightening efficiency. At the same time, it ensures that the ends are protected by the heat insulation sleeve 1121, ensuring that the heated comb teeth 1113 mainly contact the hair rather than the skin, reducing the risk of skin burns and making the operation more comfortable and convenient for the user.

[0089] Furthermore, heat-insulating teeth 114 surrounding the comb teeth 111 are also provided on the comb plate 11.

[0090] Understandably, the heat-insulating teeth 114 are used to prevent the steam comb teeth 1112 and the heated comb teeth 1113 from directly contacting the scalp or skin, effectively reducing the risk of burns. At the same time, they limit the range of steam and heat dissipation, concentrating heat and steam in the comb teeth 111 area, which can reduce heat loss and make it more effectively transferred to the hair, improving the efficiency of straightening. In addition, the heat-insulating teeth 114 also help to reduce the surface temperature around the steam straightener 1, reducing discomfort to the skin of the hand holding area.

[0091] Compared with the prior art, the steam straightening comb provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0092] 1. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a liquid storage device connected to the housing and partially exposed. The size and shape of the liquid storage device can be freely modified according to needs, thereby effectively increasing its capacity. This eliminates the need for users to frequently add solution to the liquid storage device, making operation more convenient. Simultaneously, this design reduces the requirements for waterproof performance of the internal circuitry, effectively reducing production processes and costs. At least some of the comb teeth are provided with steam outlets connected to a steam generator. The steam outlets are located at the end of the comb teeth near the comb tooth plate and are aligned with the same center line as the comb tooth plate. The liquid in the storage device evaporates through the steam generator, and the resulting steam is discharged through the steam outlets, improving the steam flow path and allowing the sprayed steam to better contact the hair. This effectively prevents steam from overflowing into the external environment, reducing steam waste. Furthermore, there is a certain distance between the steam outlets and the tips of the comb teeth, preventing steam from directly contacting the scalp during release. This improves safety while effectively heating and softening the hair, enhancing the efficiency and effect of straightening.

[0093] 2. The steam straightener of the present invention features a secondary evaporation chamber in its steam generator, which performs secondary evaporation on the steam generated in the steam generation chamber, improving the atomization effect of the steam. A sealing element ensures that steam within the steam generator does not leak to the outside and helps maintain a stable internal temperature. The sealing element and the steam generator are detachably connected, allowing users to clean and maintain the device. The steam channel on the sealing element forms a meandering steam flow path, slowing the flow rate of the primary vaporized steam from the steam generation chamber into the secondary evaporation chamber, ensuring that the primary vaporized steam is fully vaporized in the secondary evaporation chamber. Simultaneously, a water inlet connects the liquid storage device to the steam generation chamber, replenishing the steam generation chamber with water to maintain a stable and uniform amount of steam output.

[0094] 3. The steam straightening comb of the present invention features a first heating chamber and a steam generating chamber stacked together, optimizing the heat transfer process. This allows the heat generated in the first heating chamber to be rapidly transferred to the steam generating chamber with minimal loss, thus improving steam generation efficiency. Two secondary evaporation chambers are located on either side of the first heating chamber and the steam generating chamber. The first heating chamber continuously provides heat to both the steam generating chamber and the secondary evaporation chamber, causing larger water droplets in the steam generated in the steam generating chamber to be evaporated a second time in the secondary evaporation chamber, preventing these larger droplets from being directly sprayed out and affecting the straightening effect on the hair.

[0095] 4. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a liquid storage device located on the handle near the end of the comb tooth plate, which can shorten the transmission distance of the solution in the liquid storage device. The liquid storage device is partially embedded in the groove on the handle and partially exposed on the handle, which can effectively increase its capacity. This eliminates the need for users to frequently add solution to the liquid storage device, making it convenient for users to operate. At the same time, this design reduces the requirements for waterproof performance of its internal circuitry, which can effectively reduce the production process and reduce production costs.

[0096] 5. The steam straightening comb of the present invention includes a liquid storage device comprising a water tank and a ring belt connected to the water tank. The water tank is partially embedded in a first groove, and the ring belt is embedded in a second groove. The ring belt design increases the stability of the liquid storage device and also has a certain aesthetic effect.

[0097] 6. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has an observation window on the side of the water tank away from the handle housing, which is convenient for the user to observe the internal state of the water tank and add solution in time. At the same time, the detachable design of the water tank allows the water tank to be removed separately when adding solution, making the operation easier and more convenient, and also eliminating the risk of water entering the main body when adding solution.

[0098] 7. In the steam straightening comb of the present invention, the water outlet end of the water inlet extends into the middle part of the steam generating chamber, which can safely introduce the solution without leakage, and at the same time lengthens the flow distance of the solution in the steam generating chamber, ensuring that the first heating element in the steam generating device can fully heat the solution to generate steam, and ensuring that the generation and release of steam proceed normally.

[0099] 8. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a second heating chamber formed by the comb teeth plate and the partition plate. A second heating element is provided in the heating chamber for heating part of the comb teeth. A heat insulation space is formed between the steam generating device and the partition plate to separate the first heating element located in the steam generating device and the second heating element located in the heating chamber, so that the two are independent effective heat sources and are not affected by the temperature change of each other due to the temperature rise or fall of each other.

[0100] 9. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a heat insulation plate positioned on the side of the heating plate away from the partition, reducing heat transfer from the heating plate to the external environment, improving heat insulation effect, and reducing the risk of users coming into contact with overheated surfaces. The comb teeth connected to the heating plate are heating comb teeth. A heat insulation sleeve is provided on the heat insulation plate, and the heat insulation sleeve is at least partially fitted onto the heating comb teeth. The heating comb teeth concentrate the heat from the heating plate to provide heat to the hair to achieve a straightening effect, while the heat insulation sleeve can limit heat loss, ensuring that the heat energy is mainly transferred to the comb teeth and then from the comb teeth to the hair, thereby improving the straightening effect.

[0101] 10. In the steam straightening comb of the present invention, a first sealing element is provided between the heat insulation plate and the heating plate, a second sealing element is provided between the comb tooth plate and the housing, and a matching third sealing element is provided on the housing. The first sealing element, the second sealing element and the third sealing element are all used to seal the gaps between the mating surfaces of each component, further waterproofing and dustproofing the steam straightening comb.

[0102] 11. The steam straightening comb of the present invention has a heating opening on the heat insulation sleeve, and at least one side of the heating comb teeth is exposed from the heating opening, so that it can directly contact the hair, improve the heat transfer efficiency, improve the straightening efficiency, and at the same time ensure that the ends are protected by the heat insulation sleeve, and ensure that the heating comb teeth mainly contact the hair rather than the skin, reducing the risk of skin burns, and making the user operation more comfortable and convenient.

[0103] 12. The steam straightener of the present invention is further provided with heat-insulating teeth surrounding the comb teeth on the comb tooth plate. The heat-insulating teeth are used to prevent the steam comb teeth and the heated comb teeth from directly contacting the scalp or skin, effectively reducing the risk of burns. At the same time, they limit the range of steam and heat dissipation, concentrate the heat and steam in the comb tooth area, reduce heat loss, and transfer it to the hair more effectively, thereby improving the efficiency of straightening hair. In addition, the heat-insulating teeth also help to reduce the surface temperature around the steam straightener, reducing discomfort to the skin of the hand holding area.
