The handheld portion 12 has a use state and a storage state. In the use state, the handheld portion 12 is connected to the air duct portion 11. The hand-held portion 12 is arranged at an angle thereto. In the retracted state, the hand-held portion 12 extends along the axis of the air duct portion 11 to form a straight cylindrical shape with the air duct portion 11; the fan assembly 20 is arranged in the shell to drive the air flow through the first air duct 111 and then blown out from the air outlet 112; the heating device includes a silicon carbide heating element 30, which is arranged in 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 air flow flowing through the first air duct 111.

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 folding hair dryer 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 surface formed by the silicon carbide heating element 30 and the inner wall surface of the through hole.

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. While ensuring the heating effect, it can reduce the space occupied in the air duct part 11, thereby reducing the size of the air duct part 11. One end of the hand-held part 12 is rotatably installed on the end of the air duct part 11 away from the air outlet 112, so that the folding hair dryer has a storage state in which the hand-held part 12 and the air duct part 11 form a straight tube shape. In this way, the space occupied by the folding hair dryer can be greatly reduced when stored, which is convenient for storage and travel.

[0051] In some embodiments, the air duct portion 11 has a first end face 113, which is inclined relative to the length direction of the air duct portion 11, and the first end face 113 is provided with a first rotating portion 114. The hand-held portion 12 has a second end face corresponding to the first end face 113, and the second end face is provided with a second rotating portion 124 that cooperates with the first rotating portion 114.

[0052] Specifically, the axes of the first rotating portion 114 and the second rotating portion 124 are substantially perpendicular to the first end face 113 and the second end face, so that the first end face 113 and the second end face can be correspondingly fitted, and the gap between the first end face 113 and the second end face can be reduced, thereby effectively preventing foreign objects from getting stuck between the ends of the air duct portion 11 and the handheld portion 12, and improving the rotation reliability of the handheld portion 12. Among them, one of the first rotating portion 114 and the second rotating portion 124 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the other is provided with an axial hole that cooperates with the rotating shaft.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first rotating portion 114 is provided with a through hole 115, which connects the first air duct 111 and the inner cavity of the handheld portion 12. This facilitates the passage of wires in the handheld portion 12 and the first air duct 111, and also avoids damage to the connecting wires when the handheld portion 12 is rotated.

[0055] In some embodiments, a second air duct 122 is provided in the handheld portion 12, and an air inlet 121 is provided at one end of the handheld portion 12 away from the air duct portion 11, and the second air duct 122 is connected to the through hole 115 and the air inlet 121; the fan assembly 20 is provided in the first air duct 111 (refer to Figure 6 ), or the fan assembly 20 is arranged in the second air duct 122 (reference Figure 7 or Figure 8 That is, the hand-held portion 12 can be used to set the air inlet 121 and the second air duct 122, so that the internal space of the hand-held portion 12 can be fully utilized.

[0056] Optionally, at least one of the end surface and the peripheral side of the handheld portion 12 is provided with an air inlet 121.

In other embodiments, the circuit component 40 is at least partially disposed in the first air duct 111 (refer to Fig. 9 ).

[0058] In some embodiments, the silicon carbide heating element 30 is located between the air outlet 112 and the fan assembly 20.

This can reduce the heat conduction of the silicon carbide heating element 30 to the outer surface of the air duct portion 11, which is beneficial to reduce heat loss and prevent the handheld portion 12 from overheating and scalding the user or causing discomfort during use. The heat insulating component 50 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a channel with two ends passing through is formed inside. The silicon carbide heating element 30 is disposed in the channel, and its material can be ABS plastic, PP plastic or heat insulating foam, etc.
