Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0037] The nozzle assembly of the hair dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in reference to... Figures 1 to 4 The nozzle assembly includes a mounting base 110 and a rotating nozzle 200. The rotating nozzle 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 110. The air outlet 201 of the rotating nozzle 200 is eccentrically set relative to the mounting base 110. When the rotating nozzle 200 rotates, the air outlet 201 of the rotating nozzle 200 is adapted to rotate around the central axis 101 of the mounting base.

[0038] According to the nozzle assembly of the present invention, during use, the air outlet 201 of the rotating nozzle 200 can rotate relative to the mounting base 110 around the central axis 101 of the mounting base, effectively expanding the blowing area of ​​the hair dryer and covering a wider area. Due to the increased blowing area, users can dry their hair faster during use, saving time and improving hair drying efficiency.

[0039] It is understood that the mounting base 110 is used to mount and support the rotary nozzle 200, which can be mounted to the mounting base 110 via a bearing 500 or other rotatable connection. It should be noted that this invention does not impose specific limitations on the structure of the mounting base 110; the rotary nozzle 200 can be located outside or inside the mounting base 110.

[0040] The eccentric setting of the air outlet 201 of the rotary nozzle 200 relative to the mounting base 110 can be understood as the center point 104 of the air outlet not coinciding with the central axis of the mounting base 110, having a certain offset, so that when the rotary nozzle 200 rotates, the air outlet 201 can rotate around the central axis of the mounting base 110, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the blowing area.

[0041] It should be noted that the air outlet 201 of the rotary nozzle 200 can be a regular shape. For example, when the air outlet 201 of the rotary nozzle 200 is circular, the center point 104 of the air outlet is the location of the center of the circle; when the air outlet 201 of the rotary nozzle 200 is elliptical, the center point 104 of the air outlet is the center point of the ellipse. Of course, the air outlet 201 of the rotary nozzle 200 can also be other irregular shapes. This invention does not impose specific limitations on the shape of the air outlet 201 of the rotary nozzle 200. Irregular shapes also have a geometric center point, which will not be elaborated here.

[0042] It should be noted that the straight line passing through the center point 104 of the air outlet and perpendicular to the air outlet 201 is the central axis of the air outlet 201. The central axis of the rotating nozzle 200 and the central axis of the mounting base 110 can be parallel, intersecting, or not intersecting. The relationship between the central axis of the air outlet 201 and the central axis of the mounting base 110 is a geometric relationship in a mathematical sense, which will not be elaborated here.

[0043] For example, when the central axis of the air outlet 201 and the central axis of the mounting base 110 are parallel to each other, the rotating nozzle 200 can maintain a stable blowing effect during rotation. The overall direction of the airflow blown from the air outlet 201 is parallel to the axial direction of the central axis of the mounting base 110, thereby maintaining the continuity and stability of the blowing. Furthermore, when the central axis of the air outlet 201 is parallel to the central axis of the mounting base 110, the stability of the entire nozzle assembly can be improved, reducing the swaying and shaking of the rotating nozzle 200 during rotation and ensuring a smoother blowing process.

[0044] For example, when the central axis of the air outlet 201 intersects with the central axis of the mounting base 110, a wider range of rotation can be achieved. This design allows the air outlet 201 to rotate within a larger angle range, meeting the user's needs for various blowing angles. The intersecting arrangement enables the air outlet 201 to blow air at multiple angles in both vertical and horizontal directions. Users can adjust the blowing direction by rotating the nozzle 200, achieving a more precise and personalized blowing effect. The intersecting arrangement of the central axis of the air outlet 201 and the central axis of the mounting base 110 increases the flexibility of the air outlet 201's rotation, allowing users to freely adjust the angle of the air outlet 201 as needed to meet different blowing requirements and improve ease of use. The intersecting arrangement also makes better use of space, resulting in a more compact design for the entire nozzle assembly, saving space and making it suitable for various sizes of blower devices.

[0045] For example, a wider range of rotation can be achieved when the central axis of the air outlet 201 and the central axis of the mounting base 110 do not intersect, which will not be elaborated here.

[0046] In one embodiment, the eccentricity angle of the rotating nozzle 200 is adjustable, allowing the central axis of the air outlet 201 and the central axis of the mounting base 110 to switch from parallel to intersecting or non-intersecting, or vice versa. This allows the user to adjust the air outlet area of ​​the rotating nozzle 200 according to their needs.

[0047] In one embodiment, the eccentricity of the rotating nozzle 200 is adjustable, making the distance between the central axis of the air outlet 201 and the central axis of the mounting base 110 adjustable. Users can adjust the air outlet area according to their own needs, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0048] It should be noted that the rotational power of the rotary nozzle 200 can be generated when the airflow passes by (an embodiment of generating power is described later), or it can be generated by a motor drive. This invention does not impose specific limitations on the rotational power of the rotary nozzle 200.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The rotary nozzle 200 includes a first mating part 210, an air guide component 220 and several grille plates 230. The first mating part 210 and the grille plates 230 are disposed at the air outlet 201 of the air guide component 220. The first mating part 210 and the mounting base 110 are rotatably connected. The air guide component 220 and the first mating part 210 are connected through the grille plates 230.

[0050] Understandably, the coaxial arrangement of the central axis of the first mating part 210 and the mounting base 110 can increase the stability of the air outlet, reduce swaying during rotation, and ensure a smoother air blowing process. In other words, the first mating part 210 and the mounting base 110 are rotatably connected, and the center point 104 of the first mating part 210 and the air outlet is eccentrically set.

[0051] It is understood that the air guide component 220 has an air guide channel 202 inside, through which airflow can pass and exit from the air outlet 201 of the air guide channel 202. The grille plate 230 can help guide the airflow to flow smoothly out of the air outlet 201 of the air guide component 220, ensuring the concentration and uniformity of the air force and improving the blowing effect.

[0052] According to embodiments of this application, the grille 230 includes at least two different length specifications. Different lengths of grille can affect the airflow speed and wind force distribution, thereby adjusting the blowing effect. Setting grilles of different lengths can also enable the rotary nozzle 200 to rotate autonomously.

[0053] It is understandable that when gas passes through the grille plate 230, the longer grille plate 230 experiences a greater pushing force than the shorter grille plate 230, creating a rotational torque that causes the rotary nozzle 200 to rotate autonomously.

[0054] Furthermore, the different distribution densities of the grille plates 230 can also enable the rotary nozzle 200 to rotate autonomously. It is understandable that the difference in grille density will affect the driving force of the gas on the grille plates 230. The higher density grille plates 230 will receive a greater driving force from the gas, thereby enhancing the generation of rotational torque and prompting the rotary nozzle 200 to rotate more effectively on its own.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The air guiding component 220 includes an air inlet 203, an air guiding channel 202 and an air outlet 201. The air guiding channel 202 connects the air inlet 203 and the air outlet 201, wherein the air outlet 201 is eccentrically positioned relative to the air inlet 203.

[0056] Understandably, by setting the air outlet 201 eccentrically relative to the air inlet 203, the airflow speed and pressure can be increased, the airflow direction and velocity can be changed, which helps to improve the transmission efficiency of wind power and ensure that the airflow can effectively reach the target area. It can also generate a rotational torque, which can cause the air guide component 220 to rotate autonomously, achieving more effective wind direction adjustment and control.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide channel 202 is constricted along the direction from the air inlet 203 of the air guide component 220 to the air outlet 201 of the air guide component 220.

[0058] Understandably, the tapered design of the air guide channel 202 gradually reduces its cross-sectional area as airflow passes through, thereby increasing airflow velocity. This enhances airflow speed and pressure, improving the blowing effect. The tapered design also guides airflow more effectively, reducing energy loss and improving ventilation.

[0059] It is understandable that the constricted shape can be a trumpet-shaped structure that gradually reduces the cross-sectional area of ​​the air guide channel 202, or a stepped structure that reduces the cross-sectional area of ​​the air guide channel 202 in a step-like manner; no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the angle between the cross-section of the grille plate 230 and the air outlet 201 is different, so that the airflow interacts with the grille plate 230 to generate different forces to drive the rotating nozzle 200 to rotate.

[0061] It is understandable that, since the cross-section of the grille 230 and the air outlet 201 has a certain angle, the airflow generates thrust after interacting with the grille, which in turn causes the air nozzle to rotate and generate different speeds, thereby continuously changing the air outlet direction and expanding the air outlet area.

[0062] In one embodiment, the angle between the grille of different lengths and the air outlet 201 is different. By using grilles of different lengths and angles, the rotational torque effect when the airflow passes through is more pronounced, making it easier for the rotary nozzle 200 to rotate autonomously.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the grille 230 is movably mounted with the air guide component 220 and the first mating part 210 so that the tilt angle between the grille and the air outlet 201 is adjustable. It is understood that the air outlet effect of the rotating nozzle 200 can be adjusted by adjusting the tilt angle between the grille and the air outlet 201. The air outlet effect includes the air outlet angle, airflow speed and air outlet range, and the rotation speed of the rotating nozzle 200 can also be adjusted.

[0064] Understandably, by adjusting the tilt angle between the grille and the air outlet 201, the direction and speed of airflow can be better controlled. Different tilt angles between different grilles and the air outlet 201 also result in different pushing forces on different grilles when airflow passes through, generating a rotational torque that causes the rotary nozzle 200 to rotate autonomously.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet 201 of the rotary nozzle 200 is provided with a plurality of grille plates 230, at least a portion of the grille plates 230 forming a first grille area, the first grille area being adapted to drive the rotary nozzle 200 to rotate relative to the mounting base 110 under the push of airflow.

[0066] It is understandable that by setting a first grille area with a grille plate 230 at the air outlet 201, when the airflow passes through the grille plate 230, the longer grille plate is subjected to a greater pushing force than the shorter grille plate, thereby forming a rotational torque, which allows the rotating nozzle 200 to rotate automatically under the push of the airflow.

[0067] Because the rotary nozzle 200 rotates automatically under the influence of airflow, it does not require an additional motor, saving energy and reducing operating costs. The automatic rotation function ensures a more even distribution of airflow across the blowing area, improving drying efficiency and guaranteeing faster and more even hair drying.

[0068] The grille panels in the first grille area are tilted in the same direction. In other words, the grille panels in the first grille area are all tilted clockwise or counterclockwise at the air outlet 201.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base 110 and the rotary nozzle 200 are connected by a bearing 500. One of the mounting base 110 and the rotary nozzle 200 is provided with a mounting hole. The outer ring of the bearing 500 is mounted in the mounting hole, and the inner ring of the bearing 500 is connected to the other of the mounting base 110 and the rotary nozzle 200.

[0070] Understandably, the connection between the mounting base 110 and the rotary nozzle 200 via the bearing 500 helps ensure that the rotary nozzle 200 can rotate smoothly relative to the mounting base 110.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a housing 120, a mounting base 110 connected to the housing 120, and a mounting cavity formed between the mounting base 110 and the housing 120. The rotary nozzle 200 is at least partially disposed in the mounting cavity. It is understood that the mounting base 110, composed of the mounting base 110 and the housing 120, provides a stable installation environment for the rotary nozzle 200. Simultaneously, the mounting cavity also provides a certain degree of protection for the rotary nozzle 200, preventing external factors (such as dust, moisture, etc.) from directly contacting the rotary nozzle 200, thereby extending its service life.

[0072] In one embodiment, the rotary nozzle 200 is partially located in the mounting cavity, and the air outlet 201 of the rotary nozzle 200 extends out of the mounting cavity. By extending out of the mounting cavity, the air outlet 201 is not restricted by the mounting cavity, allowing for a larger air blowing area.

[0073] Of course, the rotating nozzle 200 can also be entirely located in the mounting cavity, which can provide protection for the rotating nozzle 200 and prevent users from accidentally touching the rotating nozzle.

[0074] A hair dryer according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes the above-described nozzle assembly. It is understood that the hair dryer, by including the above-described nozzle assembly, possesses all the technical effects of the above-described nozzle assembly, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0075] In one embodiment, the hair dryer includes a body, and a nozzle assembly is detachably mounted to the air outlet of the body. Specifically, the nozzle assembly can be detachably connected to the body via magnetic attraction. Of course, the nozzle assembly can also be detachably connected to the body via other methods such as snap-fit ​​connection or screw connection, and this invention does not specifically limit this method.

[0076] In one embodiment, at least one of the housing and the mounting base 110 is provided with a magnetic attraction component 300, and the other is provided with a metal part or another magnetic attraction component 300. When the mounting base 110 is installed on the housing, the magnetic attraction force can firmly connect the magnetic attraction component 300 and the metal part or another magnetic attraction component 300 together.

[0077] In one embodiment, the nozzle assembly further includes a bottom cover 400 for mounting the magnetic part 300 of the nozzle assembly to the bottom of the mounting base 110.

[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
