[0042] The implementation, functional features, and advantages of the purpose of this application will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific implementation manners

[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of this application and are not used to limit this application.

[0044] The main solution of the embodiment of this application is: after the hair dryer stops running, obtain the air outlet mode when the hair dryer runs for the last time, and the temperature of the air outlet after a preset time;

[0045] If the air outlet mode is the hot air mode and the temperature is greater than the preset temperature, control the hair dryer to run according to the cooling parameters.

[0046] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the hair dryer is used as the execution subject for elaboration below.

[0047] Traditional hair dryers adjust the temperature through a dual air speed setting. However, after using the hot air setting, there is still a residual temperature of 60 - 120 °C at the air outlet. If the device is placed upside down or comes into contact with combustibles (such as wooden desks, fabrics, etc.) at this time, the continuously dissipated heat may cause a sudden local temperature rise, forming a fire ignition point of 150 - 200 °C and thus triggering a fire. Therefore, there are safety hazards in current hair dryers after use.

[0048] This application provides a solution. When the hair dryer operates based on the hot air mode and the temperature at the air outlet is on the rise, perform a cooling action to reduce the temperature of the air outlet, avoid safety accidents caused by too high an air outlet temperature, and improve the safety of the hair dryer after use.

[0049] To better understand the technical solutions of this application, the following will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 , the hair dryer is provided with a microprocessor, a cooling module, a sensor module and a state acquisition module, and the microprocessor. The microprocessor can be composed of a single-chip microcomputer and can execute logic control actions. The sensor module is as Figure 2 shown, including a temperature sensor and a proximity sensor. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer. As Figure 3 shown, the proximity sensor detects whether there is an obstacle in front of the air outlet, that is, detects whether the distance S between the surface of the air outlet (in front of the air outlet) and the surface of the obstacle is less than a preset parameter L. If so, it means that the current air outlet is blocked by an obstacle. The state acquisition module is used to identify the air outlet mode of the hair dryer, that is, to identify the cold air gear and the hot air gear. Among them, the proximity sensor is a common distance sensor such as an infrared sensor or a laser sensor, etc., and this application does not limit this. The cooling module is used to reduce the temperature of the air outlet. Among them, the hair dryer can blow cold air or normal temperature air through the fan, so as to reduce the temperature of the air outlet. Optionally, the cooling module can be provided with a dedicated micro fan for cooling, and this micro fan shares the ventilation duct with the fan. Therefore, when cooling is carried out based on the cooling module, in addition to blowing normal temperature air through the fan, normal temperature air can also be blown through the micro fan to achieve precise control of the temperature of the air outlet.

[0051] As an optional implementation manner, the hair dryer is provided with a built-in battery module. When the hair dryer is not connected to the socket, it is powered by the built-in battery and a DC inverter, so that when the user finishes using the hair dryer and pulls out the power supply, the cooling module can still perform temperature reduction treatment on the air outlet of the hair dryer. Based on this, the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer can be monitored and adjusted in real time, avoiding the inability to perform temperature reduction treatment due to the disconnection of the power supply connection.

[0052] Furthermore, the microprocessor and modules such as the cooling module, the sensor module and the state acquisition module can be arranged on a protection device such as the protection shell of the hair dryer. This protection device can be directly arranged in the hair dryer body, that is, configured on the hair dryer body when leaving the factory, or can be externally connected to the hair dryer body. Based on the externally connected protection device, the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer is regulated in real time, improving the safety after the hair dryer is used.

[0053] Based on the above structural embodiments, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method for a hair dryer. Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the control method for the hair dryer of the present application.

[0054] In this embodiment, the control method of the hair dryer includes steps S10 to S20:

[0055] Step S10: After the hair dryer stops running, obtain the air outlet mode during the last operation of the hair dryer and the temperature of the air outlet after a preset time.

[0056] The air outlet modes of the hair dryer include a hot air mode and a cold air mode, and multiple gears with different air outlet intensities can also be set for the hot air mode and the cold air mode.

[0057] In this embodiment, after the user dries their hair or an object using the hot air mode of the hair dryer, the temperature of the uncooled air outlet can still reach over 100°C. If the hair dryer is placed improperly, such as directly on flammable items like sheets or sofas, it may cause smoldering through heat conduction, leading to a fire. Therefore, after the hair dryer stops running, to reduce potential safety hazards, the status acquisition module on the protection device of the hair dryer is used to obtain the air outlet mode during the last operation of the hair dryer, that is, the air outlet mode when the hair dryer was previously working, so that after the hair dryer operates based on the hot air mode, the temperature sensor can perform real-time temperature control detection on the air outlet of the hair dryer or the heating wire of the air outlet, and perform cooling and temperature reduction processing when the temperature is abnormal. It can be understood that the status acquisition module of the hair dryer will record the air outlet mode of the hair dryer each time it operates.

[0058] After the hair dryer stops running, if it was previously operating in the hot air mode, normally, the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer is usually relatively high, and the temperature parameter at this time is not sufficient as a judgment condition for controlling the hair dryer to perform a cooling action. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the temperature condition of the air outlet after a preset time through the temperature sensor of the hair dryer, so as to obtain the temperature of the air outlet after the preset time. The microprocessor of the hair dryer analyzes the change condition of the temperature of the air outlet after the preset time when the hair dryer stops running, so as to judge whether it is necessary to perform a cooling action on the air outlet. Among them, a fire is usually not caused within the preset time, and the preset time can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this application does not make a limit here.

[0059] By obtaining the air outlet mode during the last operation of the hair dryer and the temperature of the air outlet after a preset time, so that after the air outlet mode and the temperature of the air outlet meet the cooling conditions of the air outlet of the hair dryer, the cooling module of the protection device is used to perform a cooling process on the hair dryer to improve the safety of the hair dryer after use.

[0060] It can be understood that a hair dryer usually has an overheat protection device. When its running time is too long, the overheat protection device is usually triggered to perform a power-off protection. Therefore, usually after the hair dryer stops running, its air outlet mode and the temperature of the air outlet are detected.

[0061] Step S20: If the air outlet mode is the hot air mode and the temperature is greater than the preset temperature, control the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters.

[0062] It should be noted that the preset temperature is the temperature of the air outlet at the current moment when the hair dryer stops running.

[0063] In this embodiment, the hair dryer operates in the hot air mode. At the same time, when the temperature after the preset moment is greater than the preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer is on the rise. At this time, to avoid safety conditions caused by the temperature rise, it is necessary to control the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters, thereby reducing the temperature of the air outlet.

[0064] Specifically, before controlling the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters, it is also necessary to determine that the cooling parameters include determining the air outlet rate, duration, and cooling circulation circuit, etc. Different temperature magnitudes are associated with different air outlet rates and durations. For example, when the temperature is relatively high, the blown air is stronger to achieve the effect of rapid heat dissipation, and the duration is the duration of the cooling air. Therefore, when the air outlet mode is the hot air mode and the temperature is greater than the preset temperature, determine the cooling circulation circuit and the air outlet rate and duration associated with the temperature, and then set the cooling circulation circuit, air outlet rate, and duration as the cooling parameters. The cooling circulation circuit is that normal temperature / cold air enters from a certain inlet and is discharged from the air outlet. During this process, heat conversion is achieved, and thus the heat dissipation of the hair dryer is completed. The cooling circulation circuit can be determined through preset information or based on the shielding condition of the hair dryer. Among them, the hair dryer usually includes an air outlet on the front, and the air inlet includes a back air inlet or a tail air inlet. Therefore, the cooling circulation circuit for cooling refers to the air outlet passage of normal temperature air or cold air inside the hair dryer, including entering from the back air inlet and discharging from the air outlet; entering from the tail air inlet and discharging from the air outlet; or entering from the tail air inlet and discharging from the back air inlet. In the cooling circulation circuit, after the normal temperature air or cold air passes through the air outlet, it carries away the excess heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the air outlet.

[0065] When the air outlet mode is the hot air mode and the temperature of the air outlet is on the rise, by controlling the hair dryer to operate based on the cooling parameters, heat dissipation treatment is performed on the air outlet of the hair dryer based on the blown normal temperature air or cold air, so as to reduce the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer, avoid safety accidents, and improve the safety after using the hair dryer.

[0066] It can be understood that if the hair dryer operates in the cold air mode, it usually does not cause safety risks, or the temperature after the preset moment is less than the preset temperature, indicating that the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer is gradually decreasing and there will be no safety hazards.

[0067] In another alternative embodiment, in addition to performing a cooling action when the air outlet mode of the hair dryer meets the hot air mode and the temperature at the air outlet shows an upward trend, the hair dryer can also directly obtain the current temperature of the air outlet after the hair dryer stops running, and when the current temperature is greater than or equal to the target temperature associated with the cooling action, perform the step of controlling the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters, where the target temperature is the temperature at which potential safety hazards are likely to occur and can be dynamically set according to actual requirements. Based on this, when the current temperature of the hair dryer is an abnormal temperature, the air outlet of the hair dryer is cooled to reduce the temperature of the air outlet and ensure the safety of the hair dryer after use.

[0068] Furthermore, the hair dryer is also provided with a built-in power source, preferably a battery, so that the hair dryer can still cool the air outlet after the power connection is disconnected. Therefore, before controlling the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters, the power connection status of the hair dryer can be determined first. If the power connection status is the connected state, perform the step of controlling the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters based on the current power supply. If the power connection status is the disconnected state, perform the step of controlling the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters based on the built-in power supply of the hair dryer. It should be noted that the direct current of the built-in power supply is converted into alternating current through a DC inverter to provide power for the hair dryer to perform the cooling action.

[0069] This embodiment provides a control method for a hair dryer. After the hair dryer stops running, obtain the air outlet mode during the last operation and the temperature of the air outlet after a preset time. Furthermore, when the air outlet mode is the hot air mode and the temperature is greater than the preset temperature, that is, when the temperature of the air outlet shows an upward trend after the hair dryer stops running, control the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters to reduce the temperature of the air outlet and improve the safety of the hair dryer after use.

[0070] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar content as the above first embodiment can be referred to the above introduction and will not be repeated hereinafter. On this basis, when the air outlet mode of the hair dryer is the hot air mode, there are safety hazards for the hair dryer. At the same time, under normal circumstances, after the hair dryer operates based on the hot air mode, the temperature of its air outlet will gradually decrease. The reason for the safety hazard is that the air outlet is blocked by an obstacle, making it difficult to effectively dissipate heat, resulting in a gradual increase in the temperature of the air outlet.

[0071] Therefore, step S10 further includes steps S11 to S13:

[0072] Step S11, after the hair dryer stops running, obtain the air outlet mode during the last operation of the hair dryer.

[0073] Step S12, if the air outlet mode is the hot air mode, obtain the distance between the obstruction at the air outlet and the air outlet.

[0074] Step S13, if the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, obtain the temperature of the air outlet after a preset moment.

[0075] In this embodiment, after the hair dryer stops running, the state acquisition module can first obtain the air outlet mode during the last operation of the hair dryer. When the air outlet mode is the hot air mode, the proximity sensor of the hair dryer is used to obtain the distance between the obstruction at the air outlet and the air outlet. If the distance is less than or equal to the preset distance, it indicates that the air outlet of the hair dryer is congested and cannot dissipate heat effectively, posing a safety hazard. At this time, the temperature sensor is used to obtain the temperature of the air outlet after a preset moment, so as to judge whether the temperature of the air outlet shows an upward trend by analyzing the temperature of the air outlet after the preset moment. Furthermore, when the temperature shows an upward trend, the cooling action of the hair dryer is executed.

[0076] Exemplarily, to help understand the implementation process of the control method of the hair dryer obtained by combining the above first embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A brief flow schematic diagram of a control method for a hair dryer is provided. Specifically:

[0077] At the beginning, the detection system of the hair dryer works normally and continuously detects the temperature. Subsequently, when the user finishes using the hair dryer normally, the state acquisition module of the hair dryer identifies the current system gear. If it is the cold air gear, no processing is performed; if it is the hot air gear, that is, the user ends with the hot air gear, then the hair dryer uses the proximity sensor to judge whether the current air outlet is blocked. If not, continuous detection is performed. If the air outlet is blocked, the temperature sensor records the current temperature of the air outlet, and at the same time, the built-in timer of the microprocessor starts timing. Assuming the waiting duration is T, then after the timing ends, the temperature sensor is used to obtain the current temperature of the air outlet, and based on the temperature before the timing, it is judged whether the temperature rises. If the temperature does not rise, the monitoring is maintained. If the temperature rises, the cooling module is started and the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer is reduced by the cooling module to reduce the safety hazard caused by excessive temperature and improve the safety of the hair dryer after use.

[0078] This embodiment provides a control method for a hair dryer. After the hair dryer stops running, first obtain the air outlet mode during the last operation of the hair dryer. When the air outlet mode is the hot air mode, obtain the distance between the obstruction at the air outlet and the air outlet. If the distance is less than or equal to the preset distance, it indicates that the air outlet of the hair dryer is blocked, and effective heat dissipation cannot be achieved, posing a safety hazard. At this time, obtain the temperature of the air outlet after a preset moment, so that when the temperature of the air outlet shows an upward trend, control the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters, reduce the temperature of the air outlet of the hair dryer, and improve the safety of the hair dryer after use.

[0079] Based on the first or second embodiment of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar content as the above first embodiment can be referred to the above introduction and will not be repeated hereinafter. On this basis, step S20 further includes steps S21 to S22:

[0080] Step S21, if the air outlet mode is the hot air mode and the temperature is greater than the preset temperature, determine whether there is an obstruction at the air outlet.

[0081] Step S22, if there is an obstruction, control the hair dryer to start the built-in fan based on the cooling parameters, so that the cold air enters through the tail air inlet of the hair dryer, cools the air outlet, and then is discharged through the back air inlet.

[0082] In this embodiment, the air inlets of the hair dryer include a back air inlet and a tail air inlet. When controlling the hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameters, it is necessary to determine whether the air outlet is blocked by an obstacle. If it is blocked, when the cooling module operates and blows out normal temperature air, the normal temperature air for heat dissipation is difficult to be discharged from the air outlet, and the originally discharged air flow cannot effectively escape, resulting in an increase in internal air pressure and the destruction of the air flow cycle, making it difficult to effectively cool down. Therefore, the optional structure of the hair dryer is as Figure 6 shown. When there is an obstruction at the air outlet, the hair dryer can be controlled to start the built-in fan based on the cooling parameters, so that after the cold air enters through the tail air inlet, it cools the air outlet and then is discharged from the back air inlet, thereby reducing the temperature of the air outlet.

[0083] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 6 . When there is an obstacle at the air outlet, the hair dryer can also be controlled to start the built-in fan based on the cooling parameters, so that the cold air enters through the back air inlet of the hair dryer, cools the air outlet, and then discharges the cold air through the tail air inlet.

[0084] Optionally, if there is no obstacle at the air outlet, the electric hair dryer is controlled to start the built-in fan based on the cooling parameter, so as to cool the air outlet with the cold air blown in through the rear air inlet of the electric hair dryer, or cool the air outlet with the cold air blown in through the back air inlet of the electric hair dryer, or cool the air outlet with the cold air blown in through the rear air inlet and the back air inlet at the same time, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the air outlet.

[0085] This embodiment provides a control method for an electric hair dryer. When controlling the electric hair dryer to operate according to the cooling parameter, it is necessary to determine whether there is an obstacle blocking the air outlet, and when there is an obstacle blocking, cool the air outlet through the circulation loop formed by the back air outlet and the rear air outlet, so as to avoid the situation that effective heat dissipation cannot be achieved currently due to the obstacle blocking, and improve the safety after using the electric hair dryer.

[0086] This application provides an electric hair dryer, which includes: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein, the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute the control method of the electric hair dryer in the above first embodiment.
