[0043] The utility model provides a novel air duct.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 As shown, the novel air duct comprises a shell, a fan assembly 20 and a heating device, the shell comprises a handheld portion 12 and an air duct portion 11 arranged at one end of the handheld portion 12, the air duct portion 11 is provided with a first air duct 111, the handheld portion 12 is provided with a second air duct 121 connected to the first air duct 111, the first air duct 111 and the second air duct 121 are arranged at an angle, that is, the angle between the flow direction of the airflow in the first air duct 111 and the flow direction of the airflow in the second air duct 121 is a convex angle (a convex angle is an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees);

[0045] The fan assembly 20 is installed in the housing to drive the airflow to flow through the second air duct 121 and the first air duct 111 in sequence;

[0046] The heating device includes a silicon carbide heating element 30, which is arranged at the corner between the second air duct 121 and the first air duct 111, and the surface of the silicon carbide heating element 30 forms a heat exchange surface to exchange heat with the airflow flowing from the second air duct 121 to the first air duct 111.

[0047] Specifically, the air duct portion 11 is also provided with an air outlet 112, and the air outlet 112 is located at one end of the air duct portion 11 and is connected to the first air duct 111.

The new hair dryer also includes a circuit assembly 40, and the fan assembly 20 and the heating device (silicon carbide heating element 30) are both electrically connected to the circuit assembly 40. The circuit assembly 40 has a circuit structure such as a controller and a power supply circuit.

Optionally, the circuit assembly 40 is also provided with a power cord, and the power cord is connected to an external power supply; or the circuit assembly 40 is provided with a power interface, and the power interface is used to connect the power cord.

[0048] The silicon carbide heating element 30 is a heating structure as a whole, that is, there are at least two spaced connection parts 37 on the silicon carbide heating element 30, and the power supply circuit is connected through at least two connection parts 37. After the power is turned on, the current flows through the silicon carbide heating element 30, thereby converting the electrical energy into thermal energy. When the airflow flows through the surface of the silicon carbide heating element 30, the airflow can be heat-exchanged with the silicon carbide heating element 30, so that the airflow flowing through the silicon carbide heating element 30 can be heated. Compared with the electric heating wire, even if the new type of air duct is used for a long time, it will not cause the silicon carbide heating element 30 to be disconnected. The surface of the silicon carbide heating element 30 refers to the surface of the silicon carbide heating element 30 that is exposed to the air and can contact the airflow, including the gap wall formed by the silicon carbide heating element 30 and the inner wall of the through hole.

After the blank is dried, it is placed in a sintering furnace for sintering to obtain the silicon carbide heating element 30.

[0050] The technical solution of the utility model adopts a silicon carbide heating element 30, so that the surface of the silicon carbide heating element 30 is used as a heat exchange surface to directly exchange heat with the airflow flowing through the air duct, and the silicon carbide heating element 30 has a high thermal efficiency, can quickly generate heat, and can achieve rapid heating of the outlet airflow. Compared with the transmission electric heating wire heating device, the silicon carbide heating element 30 is an integrated structure with a simple structure and a small size. It can also be easily formed into a variety of shapes. The silicon carbide heating element 30 can be well set at the corner between the first air duct 111 and the second air duct 121, that is, the space at the corner of the first air duct 111 and the second air duct 121 can be fully utilized, thereby improving the space utilization rate in the new air duct, which is conducive to reducing the size of the new air duct or providing more possibilities for the installation of other components.

[0051] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 20 is disposed in the second air duct 121, that is, when the fan assembly 20 drives the airflow into the second air duct 121, the airflow first passes through the fan assembly 20 and then passes through the silicon carbide heating element 30, so that the hot airflow can be prevented from passing through the fan assembly 20, the fan assembly 20 can be prevented from overheating, and the fan assembly 20 can also be cooled. Of course, in other embodiments, the fan assembly 20 can also be disposed in the first air duct 111.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second air duct 121 penetrates the inner wall of the first air duct 111 to communicate with the first air duct 111. Specifically, the inner wall of the first air duct 111 is a straight cylinder wall, and the second air duct 121 vertically or obliquely penetrates the inner wall of the first air duct 111. In this way, the structure of the first air duct 111 and the second air duct 121 can be simplified, and the manufacturing difficulty can be reduced. Among them, the silicon carbide heating element 30 can be arranged in a curved manner, and multiple silicon carbide heating elements 30 can also be arranged.

[0053] In other embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 4 The corner between the first air duct 111 and the second air duct 121 is an arc-shaped channel, that is, the first air duct 111 and the second air duct 121 are in an arc-shaped transition, which can better guide the airflow, help reduce airflow loss, and improve the air outlet effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, the silicon carbide heating element 30 is curved and adapted to be installed at the corner between the first air duct 111 and the second air duct 121, and a curved flow channel is formed in the silicon carbide heating element 30.

[0055] In other embodiments, reference Figure 5 The heating device includes a plurality of silicon carbide heating elements 30, which are arranged at the corner between the first air duct 111 and the second air duct 121, and are arranged at intervals along the direction from the second air duct 121 to the first air duct 111. By arranging a plurality of silicon carbide heating elements 30 in the air outlet section, the heat exchange area can be increased while simplifying the structure of each silicon carbide heating element 30, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the silicon carbide heating element 30.

[0056] In some embodiments, the novel air duct further includes a heat insulating component 50, which is correspondingly installed at the corner between the second air duct 121 and the first air duct 111, and surrounds the circumference of the silicon carbide heating element 30. This can reduce the heat conduction of the silicon carbide heating element 30 to the outer surface of the novel air duct, and can reduce heat loss. Among them, the heat insulating component 50 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a channel with two ends through is formed inside. The silicon carbide heating element 30 is arranged in the channel, and its material can be ABS plastic, PP plastic or heat-insulating foam, etc.

[0057] Optionally, the silicon carbide heating element 30 is fixed in the heat insulating component 50, that is, the silicon carbide heating element 30 and the heat insulating component 50 can be assembled to form an integral module for subsequent assembly. When the silicon carbide heating element 30 is bent, the heat insulating component 50 uses two half shells to form an arc-shaped cylinder to facilitate the installation of the bent silicon carbide heating element 30.

[0058] In some embodiments, the novel air duct further includes a circuit assembly 40, the fan assembly 20 and the silicon carbide heating element 30 are electrically connected to the circuit assembly 40, and the circuit assembly 40 is at least partially disposed in the second air duct 121. That is, the main part of the circuit assembly 40 can be disposed in the second air duct 121, so that when the fan assembly 20 drives the airflow into the second air duct 121, the airflow first passes through the circuit assembly 40, and then passes through the silicon carbide heating element 30, so that the hot air flow can be prevented from passing through the circuit assembly 40, the circuit assembly 40 can be prevented from overheating, and the circuit assembly 40 can also be cooled.

[0059] In some embodiments, an air outlet 112 is provided at one end of the air channel portion 11, and the air outlet 112 is communicated with an end of the first air channel 111 away from the second air channel 121, and an air inlet 122 is provided at an end of the handheld portion 12 away from the air channel portion 11, and the air inlet 122 is communicated with the second air channel 121. This arrangement facilitates the user to direct the air outlet 112 toward himself when in use, and can also prevent the user from blocking the air inlet 122 when holding the handheld portion 12.

[0060] Optionally, at least one of the end surface and the peripheral side of the handheld portion 12 is provided with an air inlet 122. That is, the air inlet 122 can be provided on the peripheral side of the handheld portion 12, the air inlet 122 can be provided on the end surface of the handheld portion 12, or the air inlet 122 can be provided on both the peripheral side and the end surface of the handheld portion 12.

[0061] In some embodiments, the end of the air outlet section provided with the air outlet 112 is also provided with an accessory connection structure, that is, when in use, the required air outlet accessory 60 (such as a nozzle) can be installed on the accessory connection structure, so that the channel of the air outlet accessory 60 is connected with the air outlet 112, that is, the airflow blown out from the air outlet 112 can enter the channel of the air outlet accessory 60, and then blown out from the airflow outlet of the air outlet accessory 60, so that different air outlet forms can be achieved through different air outlet accessories 60. It can also be used without installing the air outlet accessory 60, that is, the airflow directly blown out from the air outlet 112 can be used to dry water stains on the desktop, clothes or hair, etc.

[0062] In some embodiments, the new hair dryer further comprises an air outlet accessory 60, and the air outlet accessory 60 is detachably connected to the accessory connection structure, so that the user can rotate and install the air outlet accessory 60 for use as needed, thereby increasing the application scenarios of the new hair dryer.

[0063] The air outlet accessory 60 may have various forms. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 6 , the air outlet accessory 60 is an air nozzle, such as a diffuser air nozzle, a wind collection nozzle or an anti-flying air nozzle, etc. In other embodiments, refer to Figure 7The air outlet accessory 60 is a comb head, and a plurality of comb teeth and a plurality of air outlets are arranged around the comb head, and the air outlets are located between the comb teeth. The comb teeth and the air outlets may be arranged only on one side or two opposite sides of the comb head, or on the outer circumference of the comb head.

With such a configuration, the surface area of ​​the silicon carbide heating element 30 can be larger under the same volume, and the contact area with the airflow can be increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Among them, the silicon carbide heating element 30 can be a planar spiral structure or a tower-shaped spiral structure.

[0065] Optionally, the silicon carbide heating element 30 includes a first heating section 31 and two second heating sections 32, the first heating section 31 is connected between the two second heating sections 32, the two second heating sections 32 both extend outwardly in a spiral from the first heating section 31, a ventilation gap 301 is formed between the two second heating sections 32, and a wiring portion 37 is provided at the free end of each second heating section 32.
