Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for operating an essential oil hair spray hair dryer. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese Patent Document No. CN 112641201 A, published on April 13, 2021, discloses an essential oil hair dryer with a spray function. The hair dryer includes a main body with a support frame. A device for atomizing essential oil is detachably mounted on the support frame. This device includes an atomizing element for vaporizing and atomizing the essential oil. A fan is rotatably mounted within the hair dryer, and the fan's rotation causes the volatiles generated by the atomizing device to be blown from the hair dryer to the user's hairline. The atomizing device is detachably mounted on the support frame via a rotating buckle, threaded connection, or magnetic adsorption. However, in actual use, it is difficult for users to control the atomization amount and the heating power of the heating element in the atomizing device, making operation time-consuming and laborious, thus requiring improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-operate method for using an essential oil hair spray hair dryer, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0004] A method for operating an essential oil hair spray hair dryer designed for this purpose includes an essential oil spray mechanism disposed on the essential oil hair spray hair dryer, characterized by the following steps:
[0005] Step 1: Plug in the hair dryer and apply the essential oil hair spray; proceed to Step 2.
[0006] Step two, standby, proceed to step three;
[0007] Step 3: The central control of the hair dryer with essential oil hair spray determines whether atomization is needed. If yes, proceed to step 4; otherwise, proceed to step 2.
[0008] Step 4: The central controller determines whether the essential oil container is installed correctly. If it is, proceed to Step 5; otherwise, proceed to Step 13.
[0009] Step 5: The central controller determines whether there is essential oil present. If yes, proceed to step 6; otherwise, proceed to step 13.
[0010] Step 6: The central controller determines whether the user has selected the atomization level Rt and the fan speed level Ft. If yes, proceed to step 7; otherwise, proceed to step 14. The value range of Rt is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the value range of Ft is 1, 2, and 3. The correspondence between the atomization level Rt, the fan speed level Ft, and the heating power level Wt is shown in Table 1.

[0022] In summary, the present invention is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description
[0023] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the operation process of an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] See Figure 1 A method for operating an essential oil hairspray hair dryer, comprising an essential oil spray mechanism disposed on the hairspray hair dryer, characterized by including the following steps:
[0026] Step 1: Plug in the hair dryer and apply the essential oil hair spray; proceed to Step 2.
[0027] Step two, standby, proceed to step three;
[0028] Step 3: The central control of the hair dryer with essential oil hair spray determines whether atomization is needed. If yes, proceed to step 4; otherwise, proceed to step 2.
[0029] Step 4: The central controller determines whether the essential oil container is installed correctly. If it is, proceed to Step 5; otherwise, proceed to Step 13.
[0030] In this embodiment, since the essential oil can is equipped with a heating wire for heating the essential oil, when the essential oil can is installed on the essential oil hair spray hair dryer, the electronic detection device inside the essential oil hair spray hair dryer will be electrically connected to the heating wire. Before spraying, a power-on test will be performed. When it is correctly electrically connected, a green light will be displayed; otherwise, a red light will be displayed to trigger an alarm.
[0031] Alternatively, for essential oil containers that use magnetic adsorption, since the essential oil hair spray hair dryer and the essential oil container are respectively equipped with a first magnet and a second magnet, the first magnet and the second magnet can be used as two terminals connected by electrodes. When these two terminals are energized and connected, it indicates that the essential oil container is installed in place.
[0032] As for the hair dryer with essential oil spray, it is connected to the essential oil container using a rotating buckle and threaded connection structure. The method of conducting electricity can also be used to detect and determine whether the essential oil container is installed in place.
[0033] Of course, the current and time used for conducting continuity testing are both quite small and short.
[0034] Step 5: The central controller determines whether there is essential oil present. If yes, proceed to step 6; otherwise, proceed to step 13.
[0035] In this embodiment, a simple test is performed before the hair dryer sprays essential oil: the working current is detected by briefly starting the heating element and compared with the preset current data set in the central controller. If the detected working current is less than or equal to the preset current data, it is determined that there is no essential oil.
[0036] The reason is that the heating wire in the essential oil bomb is completely or partially immersed in the essential oil, and the working current is greater when the essential oil is present than when there is no essential oil.
[0037] The preset current data is obtained by the manufacturer through multiple tests without essential oils. The preset current data is stored by the manufacturer in the central controller or its memory before leaving the factory.
[0038] Once it is determined that there is indeed essential oil in the essential oil container, disconnect the power supply to the heating element and proceed to step six.
[0039] Step 6: The central controller determines whether the user has selected the atomization level Rt and the fan speed level Ft. If yes, proceed to step 7; otherwise, proceed to step 14. The value range of Rt is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the value range of Ft is 1, 2, and 3. The correspondence between the atomization level Rt, the fan speed level Ft, and the heating power level Wt is shown in Table 1.
[0040] Table 1
[0041]
[0042] Example
[0043] When the user selects atomization level Rt=2 and fan speed level Ft=1, the corresponding heating power level Wt=0; when the user selects atomization level Rt=5 and fan speed level Ft=2, the corresponding heating power level Wt=2; when the user selects atomization level Rt=6 and fan speed level Ft=3, the corresponding heating power level Wt=3.
[0044] In this embodiment, Table 2 below shows the measured data at 100V 60Hz.
[0045] Table 2
[0046]
[0047] In this embodiment, Table 3 below shows the measured data at 230V 50Hz.
[0048] Table 3
[0049] Atomization level Rt Wind speed setting Ft Heating power level Wt Wind speed (m / s) Measured power value (W) 1 1 0 6.1 28 2 2 0 8.7 73 3 2 0 11.2 129 4 2 1 6.4 329 5 2 2 9.5 827 6 3 3 13.3 1012
[0050] In this embodiment, an air pump is used for spraying, and the working level of the air pump, that is, its wind speed level Ft, is controlled by the control software preset in the central controller.
[0051] Step 7: Set the current atomization level R=Rt and the current fan speed level F=Ft on the central controller, then proceed to Step 8;
[0052] Step 8: The central controller starts the essential oil spray mechanism, starts running at the preset running time T1, and starts timing the actual running time T, then proceeds to step 9; where the preset running time T1 ranges from 1 to 3000 seconds.
[0053] In this embodiment, the essential oil spray device typically uses one essential oil container for 7200 seconds, with an essential oil content of 13 grams. Users can determine the specific usage time for each essential oil spray session based on the actual usage location. When the current usage time is completed, the next essential oil spray session can be initiated.
[0054] The purpose of setting a preset running time T1 is to allow users to stop and observe, compare, or control the actual effects of the essential oil spray.
[0055] Step 9: The central controller determines whether the essential oil bottle is installed correctly. If it is, proceed to step 10; otherwise, proceed to step 13.
[0056] Step 10: The central controller determines whether there is essential oil. If yes, proceed to step 11; otherwise, proceed to step 13.
[0057] In this embodiment, the judgment in step ten is not exactly the same as the judgment in step five. The judgment in step five is the judgment before use, while the judgment in step ten is the judgment during use. However, the judgment basis for both is the same, that is, comparing the working current detected when the heating wire is working with the current data preset in the central controller. When the detected working current exceeds or is less than the preset current, it is determined that there is no essential oil.
[0058] Step 11: The central controller determines whether T=T1 is true. If it is true, proceed to step 2; otherwise, proceed to step 12.
[0059] Step 12: Continue running to step 9;
[0060] Step thirteen: The central controller sends out an audible and visual alarm signal, alerting the user by emitting a sound through a horn or buzzer or by flashing lights, and then proceeds to step two.
[0061] Step fourteen: Set the current atomization level R=1 and the current fan speed level F=1 on the central controller, then proceed to step eight.
[0062] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.
