The principle is to set a high-speed fan assembly in the air duct of the body assembly, and the main control chip circuit board assembly controls the heating element assembly set in front of the high-speed fan assembly. When the high-speed fan assembly is running, the motor blades inhale gas from the air inlet of the air duct and then blow it through the air duct to the heating element assembly. The air outlet of the nozzle assembly generates a strong cold or warm airflow to quickly dry the hair and style the hair. High-speed hair dryers are popular among consumers because of their large airflow and low noise, and can quickly dry hair and style hair.

[0003] When the power switch of a high-speed hair dryer is forgotten to be turned off or the hair dryer is placed on a table or countertop, if there is an obstacle in front of the air outlet of the high-speed hair dryer, the strong airflow and high temperature generated by the operation of the hair dryer may ignite the obstacle and cause a fire, which poses a great safety hazard. To solve this problem, the prior art generally adopts a method of timing the power fan to shut down when the temperature is too high.

An airflow channel is left between the heating element assembly 205 and the main housing 201.

[0023] See also Figures 3 to 5 The handle 200 is a hand-sensing handle, including an insulating handle shell 221, a metal conductor 211, a sound-absorbing cotton 212, a left air duct shell 213, a high-speed fan assembly 214, a right air duct shell 215, a sealing pad 216, a touch chip circuit board assembly 217, a button bracket 218, a button 219 and a safety isolation frame 220. The metal conductor 211 and the touch chip circuit board assembly 217 in the handle 200 can be fixed on the outer surface of the air duct formed by the left air duct shell 213 and the right air duct shell 215 by adhesive, screws, buckles or adhesive tape, and the touch chip circuit board assembly 217 is electrically connected to the metal conductor 211 through a wire. The metal conductor has a closed structure for surrounding the inner wall of the handle shell, and the shape of the closed structure is a shape that matches the cross-section of the handle inner cavity; there is a connecting arm extending outward on the annular structure, and the connecting arm is used to be electrically connected to the touch chip circuit board assembly.

[0024] The left duct shell 213 and the right duct shell 215 are buckled together and fixed by means of snaps, screws, etc. to form an air duct; the high-speed fan assembly 214 is arranged in the inner cavity of the air duct formed by the left duct shell 213 and the right duct shell 215; the air duct and the high-speed fan assembly 214 are fastened by an interference fit.

[0025] The hand sensing handle 200 is provided with a switch button 219 , and the button bracket 218 is fixed to the air duct housing by means of snaps or screws, and the switch button 219 is fixed to the button bracket 218 by means of snaps, and the switch button 219 is electrically connected to the touch chip circuit board assembly 217 .

[0026] The handle shell 221 of the handle 200 made of insulating material is put on the air duct formed by the air duct left shell 213 and the air duct right shell 215 by means of buckles or screws; the air outlet of the air duct is connected with the air inlet of the fuselage component, and the air inlet of the air duct faces the air inlet at the lower end of the handle shell; the inner wall of the air inlet of the air duct is surrounded by sound-absorbing cotton, and the air inlet is installed with a safety isolation frame 220 with through holes. The air inlet component is provided with a mesh hole, which is connected to the air duct through the air inlet bracket 222. The air inlet net shell is put on the air inlet bracket 222 and connected to the handle shell as a whole; the air inlet net shell is provided with ventilation mesh holes.

[0027] The metal conductor 211 of the hand-sensing handle 200 is fixed on the outer surface of the air duct formed by the left shell 213 and the right shell 215 of the air duct, and then the handle shell 221 is put on the air duct, and the metal conductor 211 is accommodated between the outer surface of the air duct and the inner surface of the handle shell; the inner wall of the handle shell 221 is in contact with the metal conductor 211 to form an electrode of the capacitor; the metal conductor 211 is in contact with the inner wall of the handle shell, and this contact assembly not only reduces the space, but also increases the sensitivity of the outer wall surface of the handle shell 221; when the human hand touches the outer wall surface of the handle shell 221, the human hand forms another electrode of the capacitor. The basic principle of the capacitor is: it is achieved by isolating the two conductors and separating them with insulating materials. When voltage is applied to the two conductors, charges will accumulate between the conductors to form an electric field, which is the essence of the capacitor. The structure of the hand sensing handle is analyzed according to the basic principle of capacitance as follows: when a human hand touches the handle housing 221, a capacitor is formed with the metal conductor 211 on the inner wall of the handle housing 221 made of insulating material. The human hand is a conductor with its own electric field. When the power switch is turned on, voltage is applied to the metal conductor 211, forming a capacitor with the hand touching the handle, and the capacitance value will change as the person touches and leaves the handle. The change in capacitance value is detected by the capacitance sensor of the touch chip circuit board assembly 217, and the change in capacitance value is converted into an electrical signal. The main control chip circuit board assembly 207 processes the electrical signal to determine whether a human hand is sensed. If a human hand is sensed, the hair dryer is powered on; if no human hand is sensed, the hair dryer is automatically powered off.

[0028] The hair dryer in this example works as follows: first turn on the switch button 219, and when a person holds the hair dryer handle, a capacitor is formed between the metal conductor 211 inside the handle, and the capacitance value changes. This change in capacitance value is detected by the capacitance sensor of the touch chip circuit board assembly 217 and the change value is converted into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the main control chip circuit board assembly 207 for processing. If it is judged that a human hand is sensed, the heating element assembly 205 and the high-speed motor assembly are powered on, and the high-speed fan assembly 214 works to suck the air outside the hair dryer from the air inlet 225 of the air inlet net of the air inlet component, and blow it to the heating element assembly 205 of the fan assembly through the air duct 224, and then a strong cold or warm air flow is blown out from the air outlet 226 to quickly dry the hair or other things that need to be dried. When the human hand leaves the handle, the change in capacitance value is also sent to the main control chip circuit board assembly 207 for processing. If it is judged that the human hand is not in contact (touch) action, that is, when the human hand is not sensed, the heating element assembly 205 and the high-speed motor assembly are automatically powered off and stopped working.

[0029] The technical solution disclosed in this example can effectively avoid the safety hazards of high-speed hair dryers, is easy to operate, and improves user comfort. It also has a simple manufacturing process, is easy to install and produce, and has a low manufacturing cost.
