Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fluid flow devices, and in particular to a device and a flow method for uniform fluid flow. Background Art

[0002] As people pay more and more attention to their personal image and hairstyle, hairdressing tools have also undergone continuous development and change. As a common hairdressing appliance, hair dryers can quickly dry hair by blowing out hot air. In order to combine the functions of the two and improve hairdressing efficiency and convenience, the integrated hairdressing product of hair dryers and curling irons came into being.

[0003] In the field of hairdressing tools, early curling irons had relatively simple functions, focusing only on using heating rollers to achieve curling effects. As consumers' requirements for hairdressing effects and experience gradually increase, the limitations of traditional curling irons have become increasingly prominent. On the one hand, traditional curling irons rely solely on the rollers to generate heat, and the heat distribution is uneven when curling. The hair near the core of the rollers is dried and split due to excessive heat, while the outer hair is not heated sufficiently, resulting in inconsistent curls and elasticity, making it difficult to create an ideal and lasting shape. On the other hand, the humidity of the hair plays a key role in the curling process, and traditional curling irons lack effective means of regulation. Curls in wet hair are not only slow to form, but also easily affected by residual water vapor and the durability of the curls; direct curling of dry hair will become rough due to lack of water. Furthermore, even if ordinary curling irons are equipped with air outlets, their design is extremely rough, the position of the air outlets is unreasonable, the wind force is uncontrollable, and they cannot cooperate with the heating roller to evenly dissipate heat. They cannot meet the needs of blow-drying and curling at the same time, which prolongs the time of hairdressing. It is difficult to adapt to the fast-paced and refined lifestyle of modern people, prompting the industry to explore more innovative integrated blow-drying and curling tools.

[0004] Chinese patent announcement number CN215347414U discloses a multifunctional curling straightener with a blower, comprising a handle with an air inlet and a fan, an upper curling clamp and a lower curling clamp connected to the handle and matching each other, an air supply channel located inside and connected to the handle, the upper curling clamp and the lower curling clamp, a controller arranged on the handle, and at least one windshield arranged in the air supply channel of the upper curling clamp or / and the air supply channel of the lower curling clamp for diverting the airflow, wherein the upper curling clamp and the lower curling clamp are provided with a heating plate and a heat dissipation shell, and the heat dissipation shell is provided with an air outlet. The utility model cleverly arranges a windshield in the air supply channel of the upper and lower curling clamps to divert the airflow, so that the air outlets on the front and rear parts of the heat dissipation shell can discharge air evenly, which improves the effect of air-cooling and shaping the hair as a whole. This patent only realizes multiple air outlet functions, and cannot achieve uniform air outlet, and cannot achieve side air outlet, and the air outlet effect is poor. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the traditional curling iron relies solely on the heating of the roller, and the heat distribution is uneven when curling hair. The hair near the core of the roller is overheated and becomes dry and split, while the outer hair is not heated sufficiently, resulting in inconsistent curl and elasticity of the curled hair, making it difficult to create an ideal and lasting shape.

[0011] Preferably, the fluid rib width increases successively along the longitudinal direction, and the fluid rib width close to the fluid inlet is the smallest, so that the fluid volume and fluid flow rate discharged from each group of fluid holes are basically the same due to the fluid rib width.

[0012] Preferably, the fluid ribs are arc-shaped or inclined, and the closer the fluid ribs are to one end of the fluid hole, the greater the distance between the fluid ribs and the fluid inlet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be described clearly and completely in combination with the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] A device and a method for uniform fluid flow according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; Figure 1-Figure 2 and Fig.12 As shown, it includes a flow equalizing component 20, through holes are set on the upper and lower sides of the flow equalizing component 20, and an air duct is formed inside. The upper end of the flow equalizing component 20 is provided with an upper cover 10, and the lower end is provided with a connecting shaft 30. The upper cover seals the through hole on the upper end of the flow equalizing component. An air inlet is set in the middle of the connecting shaft. Multiple groups of air outlets are set on the periphery of the flow equalizing component. The air outlet is connected to the device through the connecting shaft. The device is used to change the circulation speed of the air and enter the air duct from the air inlet, and then blow it out through the air outlet for operation. The device can be a hair dryer, a hair dryer, a curling iron, etc. The fluid can be a device that forms a fluid. In the present invention, the fluid is wind, and it can also be other fluids, so the fluid wind is used as a specific example here.

[0020] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, the flow equalizing component 20 is formed by six groups of flow equalizing pieces 200 connected to each other, and multiple groups of latch teeth 204 are arranged on one side of the flow equalizing piece, and an air outlet 207 is arranged on the other side corresponding to the multiple groups of latch teeth, and an air outlet rib 206 is arranged in the air outlet corresponding to each group of latch teeth, and the air outlet is divided into multiple groups of independent air outlet holes 207 through the air outlet ribs. And the latch teeth of each group of flow equalizing pieces 200 can be embedded and snapped into the air outlet of another group of flow equalizing pieces to realize the splicing of two groups of flow equalizing pieces, and the six groups of flow equalizing pieces can be spliced ​​to form a cylindrical flow equalizing component, and at the same time, some of the air outlet holes are connected to the outer surface of the flow equalizing piece 203 after splicing. When the wind enters the air duct through the air inlet 304, it is blown out through the air outlet hole 207 and then flows along the outer surface under the action of the outer surface. The outer surface 203 can be set to be a water drop streamline, and the wind can form a rotating wind after coming out through the air outlet hole 207. It should be noted that the current balancing parts are not limited to being set in six groups, and multiple groups can be set. It is only necessary to splice multiple groups of current balancing parts left and right to form a current balancing component. At the same time, the current balancing component is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and can also be set in a truncated cone shape. However, when it is a truncated cone, the area close to the upper cover should be smaller than the area close to the connecting axis.

[0021] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, multiple groups of air guide ribs 205 are also provided in the flow equalizer 200, and the air guide ribs are arranged and distributed along the longitudinal direction of the flow equalizer, and each group of air guide ribs is connected to the air outlet ribs 206 so that each group of air guide ribs 205 corresponds to a group of air outlet holes 207. In order to make the air output of each group of air outlet holes 207 the same, the width of the air guide ribs 205 closer to the air inlet is smaller, and the width of the air guide ribs 205 farther from the air inlet is larger, that is, the width of the air guide ribs 205 from the air inlet to the upper cover increases successively. Since the spacing between each group of air guide ribs is the same, the width of the air guide ribs can be distributed in an arithmetic progression, or the width of adjacent air guide ribs can be set according to the different distances between the two groups of air guide ribs, which can also ensure that the air output of each group of air outlet holes 207 is the same, which will not be explained in detail here. Since the air volume is greater in the air duct closer to the air inlet, the air guide ribs far away from the air inlet need to be designed with a larger width to carry a larger air volume. It is only necessary to increase the width of the air guide ribs along the connecting axis to the upper cover in sequence.

[0022] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, in order to further improve the air duct entering the air outlet 207, the air guide ribs are inclined, that is, the air guide ribs are closer to the end of the latch than to the air outlet 207. The air guide ribs are also arranged in a streamlined arc-shaped inclined arrangement, which has a better air guide effect. At the same time, the flow equalizer can be arranged in a straight line or in a twisted arc shape. The arc shape has a better air outlet effect than the straight line.

[0023] Furthermore, if Figure 2-Figure 11As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the flow equalizer, the air outlet rib position 206 is connected through the air outlet support column 208, and the air outlet support column contacts the latch to realize the finishing inlay of the flow equalizer 200. Upper screw columns 201 and lower screw columns 202 are provided at both ends of the flow equalizer, and the upper cover is provided with an upper cover screw hole 101 corresponding to the upper screw column, and the connecting shaft 30 is provided with a connecting shaft screw hole 302 corresponding to the lower screw column, and a groove is provided on the connecting shaft corresponding to each group of flow equalizers 200. After the flow equalizer components are spliced ​​and placed in the groove, the casing is fixed with screws to complete the assembly of the air outlet. Then the air outlet can be connected to the equipment through the installation position 301 for operation, and it is also convenient for disassembly. A cylindrical protrusion 101 is provided at the end of the upper cover, which is convenient for taking out the air outlet and also improves the aesthetics of the air outlet.

[0024] When using, Figure 12-13 As shown, after the six flow equalizers 200 are inlaid end to end, the upper end is connected to the upper cover 10 by screws, and the lower end is buckled into the groove and connected to the connecting shaft by screws to complete the assembly of the air outlet. Through the installation position 301, it is connected to the hair dryer and other equipment. The wind blown by the hair dryer enters the air duct along the B1 direction through the air inlet 304. During the upward movement along the B2 direction in the air duct, it is evenly dispersed under the obstruction of the air guide ribs 205 on the flow equalizer 200, and is guided to the air outlet 207 along the arc direction of the air guide ribs for discharge. Under the guidance of the teardrop-shaped outer surface 203, the air is rotated to discharge. Since the air guide ribs 205 are arranged in an arc shape, the wind in the air duct can be better guided to move along the arc direction of the air guide ribs to the air outlet 207, and the air outlet volume and wind speed of each air outlet 207 are roughly the same in combination with the setting of the width of the air guide ribs.

[0025] Through the above method, it can be ensured that the air volume blown out of each air outlet is basically the same, so that all parts of the hair can be heated synchronously, enhancing the curling effect and speed. It can also achieve uniform plasticity of the hair. The curling iron with uniform air outlet can continuously blow out uniform and soft hot air during the curling process through a carefully designed air duct system, which works in synergy with the heat of the roller. The hot air can penetrate between each strand of hair, ensuring that the hair wrapped inside or outside the roller can be evenly heated, effectively avoiding hair damage caused by local overheating, and at the same time making the curls more consistent and natural, improving the overall styling effect. With the help of the air outlet function, the humidity can also be precisely controlled. The temperature and air volume of the air outlet can be precisely adjusted according to the initial humidity of the hair and the curling effect you want to achieve. For example, for wet hair that has just been washed, blow out a strong wind of appropriate temperature to quickly take away excess moisture, and then switch to the warm air mode suitable for curling; for drier hair, low-volume warm air can replenish a certain amount of moisture while curling, so that the hair remains moist and shiny after shaping, greatly expanding the application scenarios of the curling iron. Stable and even air flow can accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the hair surface, allowing the hair cuticle to quickly close and fix the curl. Compared with traditional curling irons, the styling time is greatly shortened, which not only saves time costs during the curling process, but also reduces the damage to the hair caused by long-term high-temperature contact, allowing users to more efficiently create perfect and lasting curly styles, satisfying people's pursuit of convenient hairdressing in a fast-paced life.

In addition, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
