Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a hair dryer, and more particularly, to a hair dryer having a diffuser. Background Art
[0002] Hair dryers are appliances commonly used in daily life. Generally, a hair dryer can inhale air, heat the inhaled air using a heating component, and blow the heated air through a diffuser to dry hair. However, known hair dryers have low drying efficiency and cannot effectively dry the skin under the hair and the underlying hair in contact with the skin. In addition, there is a risk of skin diseases such as dandruff when the hair and the skin under the hair are not effectively dried.
[0003] Therefore, in order to obtain better hair drying efficiency, there is a need in the art for improved hair dryers and diffusers for hair dryers. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The object of the present disclosure is to provide a hair dryer and a diffuser for a hair dryer to solve the above problems existing in the prior art. For example, existing hair dryers cannot effectively dry the skin under the hair and the underlying hair in contact with the skin.
[0005] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a diffuser for a hair dryer, comprising: a body; and finger-like elements having a distal end and a proximal end; wherein the proximal end of the finger-like elements is coupled to the body; and wherein the distal end of the finger-like elements has at least one extension extending at an angle from the distal end of the finger-like elements.
[0006] With the diffuser of the present disclosure, a user can lift the hair with the finger-like elements, exposing the skin under the hair. Thus, when used with a hair dryer, the skin under the hair can be efficiently dried, reducing the time required to fully dry the hair and the skin under the hair and avoiding the appearance of dandruff.
[0007] According to one or more embodiments, the diffuser includes a plurality of finger-like elements spaced apart from each other. In this way, more hair can be lifted, thereby increasing the exposed area of the skin under the hair and further improving the drying efficiency.
[0008] According to one or more embodiments, the plurality of finger-like elements are arranged in a plurality of groups. In this way, it is possible to advantageously improve the drying efficiency in a plurality of regions of interest by arranging the finger-like elements in groups.
[0009] According to one or more embodiments, the diffuser further includes: a coupling member coupled to the body and configured to couple the finger-like element to the body. In this way, the finger-like element can be flexibly mounted to or removed from the body of the diffuser, thereby improving the maintenance of the diffuser according to the present disclosure.
[0010] According to one or more embodiments, the coupling member is configured to swing the finger-like element, and the coupling member is coupled to the body by at least one elastic element. In this way, the finger-like element can effectively lift the hair to improve the drying efficiency, and then release the lifted hair without damaging the hair.
[0011] According to one or more embodiments, the coupling member includes a motor having an eccentric mass; wherein, the motor is configured to swing the finger-like element when turned on. In this way, the finger-like element can be actively swung to lift the hair and then release the lifted hair, thereby further improving the drying efficiency.
[0012] According to one or more embodiments, the coupling member includes a fan having an eccentric mass; wherein the fan is configured to swing the finger-like element when driven by an external force. In this way, the finger-like element can be effectively swung without an additional power source. Thus, additional energy consumption can be avoided while improving the drying efficiency.
[0013] According to one or more embodiments, at least one extension extends at an angle between 45° and 135° with respect to the finger-like element. According to some further embodiments, at least one extension extends in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the finger-like element. In this way, the finger-like element is adapted to advantageously lift the hair and expose the skin under the hair in different usage scenarios, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0014] Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a hair dryer including: the diffuser according to one or more of the above embodiments.
[0015] The aspects and advantages described above for the diffuser correspondingly also apply to the hair dryer according to the present disclosure, and thus are not elaborated herein. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Unless otherwise stated, when referring to two elements being connected together, this means a direct connection without any intermediate elements, and when referring to two elements being coupled together, this means the two elements may be connected or they may be coupled via one or more other elements.
[0024] The titles / reference numerals used herein are provided only for ease of reading and therefore do not limit the scope of protection or the scope of the embodiments. The same or similar elements are identified by the same reference numerals.
[0025] In order to dry the hair, the hair dryer uses a diffuser to adjust the temperature and speed of the air blown out from its heating element. When there is a lot of hair to be dried and a thick hair layer is formed, only the hair on the surface can be effectively dried, but the skin under the hair and the lower hair in contact with the skin cannot be effectively dried. The skin under the hair that is not effectively dried is prone to dandruff or even health problems.
[0026] As described above, known hair dryers and diffusers for hair dryers cannot provide satisfactory drying performance, so there is a need to improve known hair dryers and diffusers. The present disclosure provides a diffuser for a hair dryer that allows the hair to be lifted during normal operation of drying the hair so that the air used for drying can enter under the hair, thereby effectively drying the skin under the hair and the lower layer of hair in contact with the skin.
[0027] Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a hair dryer with a diffuser. When drying the hair, the diffuser, which will be described in detail with specific reference to Figures 1 to 3B can effectively lift the hair so that the drying air from the hair dryer can enter under the hair, thereby effectively drying the skin under the hair and the lower layer of hair in contact with the skin.
[0028] Specifically refer to Figures 1 to 3B below to specifically describe the diffuser 100 according to the present disclosure.
[0029] Figure 1 A perspective view of a diffuser 100 for a hair dryer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 Embodiments of show that the diffuser 100 may include a body 1 and at least one finger element 2. The proximal end 22 of the finger element 2 may be coupled to the body 1. The distal end 21 of the finger element 2, that is, the end away from the body 1, may have at least one extension 23. For example, in Figure 1 the embodiment shown, the distal end 21 of the finger element 2 may have an extension 23 extending at an angle from the distal end 21 of the finger element 2. For example, the extending direction of the extension 23 may be different from the extending direction of the main body portion of the finger element 2. Although Figure 1 shows a plurality of finger elements 2 coupled to the body 1, it can be understood that the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in some embodiments, the diffuser 100 may have only one finger element 2.
[0030] When using the diffuser 100 to dry the hair, the extension 23 of the finger element 2 can be inserted under the hair being dried to lift the hair. Lifting the hair by the extension 23 can expose the skin under the hair, so that the skin under the hair and the lower layer of hair in contact with the skin can be dried by the drying air blown from the diffuser 100.
[0031] For example, multiple finger-like elements 2 can be spaced apart from each other. When the extensions 23 of the finger-like elements 2 are inserted into the hair and lift the hair, the spaces between the finger-like elements 2 can form spaces that allow the hair to pass through. For example, as the height at which the hair is lifted gradually increases, the hair lifted by the extensions 23 can be combed and then slide off unobstructed. Therefore, the spacing distance between the finger-like elements 2 helps prevent damage to the hair or cause discomfort to the object being dried when lifting the hair. In non-limiting examples, the spacing distances between the multiple finger-like elements 2 can be the same or different. Additionally, in some examples, the extensions 23 of the multiple finger-like elements 2 can point in different directions. In this way, when the diffuser 100 is moved in any direction substantially parallel to the skin surface, the extensions 23 of at least some of the multiple finger-like elements 2 can be inserted under the hair and lift the hair.
[0032] In some embodiments, the multiple finger-like elements 2 can be arranged in multiple groups spaced apart from each other. In this way, it is possible to advantageously improve the drying efficiency in multiple regions of interest by arranging the finger-like elements 2 in groups. In some embodiments, the dimensional characteristics of the finger-like elements 2 in different groups can be different. For example, the length of the finger-like elements 2 in one group can be different from the length of the finger-like elements 2 in other groups, and the length of the extensions 23 of the finger-like elements in one group can be different from the length of the extensions 23 of the finger-like elements 2 in other groups.
[0033] Figure 2A and Figure 2B A side view of a finger-like element 2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The finger-like element 2 can have multiple extensions 23, and each of the multiple extensions 23 can have the same or different dimensions. For example, the multiple extensions 23 can respectively have different diameters, lengths, cross-sectional areas, etc. In some non-limiting embodiments, the finger-like element 2 can be flexible. It can be understood that Figure 2A and Figure 2B the different finger-like elements 2 shown can be applied in the same diffuser 100, and the scope of the present application does not limit this.
[0034] Figure 2A The finger-like element 2 shown has a proximal end 22. The finger-like element 2 can be coupled to the body 1 of the diffuser 100 at its proximal end 22. The end of the finger-like element 2 opposite to the proximal end 22 has an extension 23. According to one or more embodiments, the finger-like element 2 can have multiple extensions 23. Although Figure 2AThe example shows two extensions 23 extending relative to each other at the distal end 21 of the finger-like element 2, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the finger-like element 2 of the present application may also have only one extension 23 at the distal end 21, or have more than two extensions 23. It can be understood that the distal end is relative to the proximal end 22 and includes a section of the finger-like element, not just the end. For example, Figure 2A The shown extension 23 of the finger-like element 2 may have at least one additional extension 23 at a position a certain distance from the end in addition to being located at the end of its distal end 21. In this way, the hair can be lifted more effectively to expose the skin located under the hair.
[0035] Figure 2B Figure 2 shows a finger-like element 2 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Only the differences between the embodiments of Figure 2B and the embodiments of Figure 2A will be described in detail below. The parts similar to Figure 2A will not be described again. Figure 2B The shown extension 23 of the finger-like element 2 may extend at an angle between 45° and 135° relative to the main body part of the finger-like element 2. In addition, Figure 2B the extension 23 in
[0036] may extend along a curve. In this way, the lifted hair can be effectively made to slide off, thus avoiding damaging the hair or causing discomfort to the object being dried. Figure 3A and Figure 3B . Figure 3A and Figure 3B Figures 25 and 26 show cross-sectional views of a diffuser 100 according to different embodiments of the present disclosure. As described above with respect to Figure 1 , the diffuser 100 may have a main body 1 and at least one finger-like element 2. The diffuser 100 may also have a coupling element 3. For example, the coupling element 3 may be configured to couple the finger-like element 2 to the main body 1. In some embodiments, the coupling element 3 may be integrally formed with the main body 1 of the diffuser 100 as a single part, thus simplifying the manufacturing process. In other embodiments, the coupling element 3 may be a separate part separated from the main body 1, and the coupling element 3 may be coupled to the main body 1 through an elastic element 33. In a non-limiting embodiment, the elastic element 33 may be flexible, thus providing a certain degree of freedom in the coupling between the coupling element 3 and the main body 1.
[0037] Figure 3AIn the example, the coupling element 3 includes a plugging component 34, an elastic element 33, a strut 35, and a fan 31. For example, the plugging component 34 may be configured to receive and fix the finger-like element 2. The plugging component 34 may allow air to pass through. For example, the plugging component 34 may have one or more holes to avoid blocking the flow of air for drying. As Figure 3A shown, the plugging component 34 may be coupled to the main body 1 of the diffuser 100 through the elastic element 33. The plugging component 34 may be coupled to the fan 31 through the strut 35. The fan 31 may have an eccentric mass 32. For example, when the fan 31 is blown by the drying air passing through the diffuser 100 and rotates, due to the presence of the eccentric mass 32, the rotation of the fan 31 will swing eccentrically. The swing of the fan 31 may cause the swing of the coupling element 3, and further cause the swing of the finger-like element 2. The swing of the finger-like element 2 makes it easier to insert under the hair, enabling the user to more easily lift the hair to dry the skin under the hair.
[0038] Figure 3B The embodiment of Figure 3A is different from the embodiment of Figure 3B in that the embodiment of Figure 3A uses a motor 4 to replace the fan 31 shown in Figure 3A . The motor 4 may be operated in any suitable manner known in the art, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited herein. Similar to the fan 31 in Figure 3B , the motor 4 shown in Figure 3A may also have an eccentric mass 32. For example, the motor 4 may be turned on and drive the eccentric mass 32 to swing eccentrically. In this way, the motor 4 can actively drive the swing of the finger-like element 2. In this case, even when the flow rate of the drying air passing through the diffuser 100 is low and insufficient to fully drive the fan 31 shown in Figure 3B , the motor 4 of
[0039] Many modifications and other embodiments of the present disclosure given herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art in the relevant fields of the present disclosure in light of the foregoing description and the teachings presented in the associated drawings. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and that modifications and other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, although the foregoing description and the associated drawings describe example embodiments in the context of certain example combinations of components and / or functions, it should be appreciated that different combinations of components and / or functions may be provided by alternative embodiments without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In this regard, for example, other combinations of components and / or functions different from those explicitly described above are also contemplated as being within the scope of the present disclosure. Although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a general and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
