DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The application will be further described below in detail with the drawings and examples. The features and advantages of the application will become more apparent through these descriptions.
[0041] The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any implementation described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. Although various aspects of implementations can be presented in terms of methods, one should appreciate that such implementations can also be implemented as appropriate with any number of computer-readable storage media storing instructions for execution on one or more processors of a computer system, or implemented as any number of hardware or software components, or combinations thereof.
[0042] Moreover, the technical features involved in the different implementations of the application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.
[0043] In the related art, the one-key cold air button structure of the conventional hair dryer is mostly realized by a light touch switch, which requires a separate button to realize, and the button is independent of other buttons. However, this structure is not conducive to maintaining the hair style just completed when mode switching during the use of the hair dryer, and there is a problem of inconvenient operation.
[0044] The application provides a hair dryer, which optimizes the switch assembly and bottom shell structure of the hair dryer, adopts a micro switch to control the one-key cold air, and associates the micro switch and the power switch based on a driving mechanism, so that the three gears of power-off, power-on, and one-key cold air can be controlled by one driving mechanism, and the button structure is simplified. Based on the design of the hair dryer, after the hair is styled by the hair dryer, only two gears need to be pushed back by hand to power off the hair dryer, which reduces the time required for mode switching, is not easy to misoperate, and is more helpful to maintain the styling effect of the hair.
[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments and implementation manners can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0046] The utility model exemplary embodiment provides a hair dryer, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, Figure 1 It is the schematic diagram of the whole structure of hair dryer according to an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 It is the schematic diagram of the internal structure of hair dryer according to an exemplary embodiment, and the hair dryer includes bottom shell 30 and switch assembly 20 and other components.
[0047] The switch installation groove 301 is formed on the bottom shell 30, and the switch assembly 20 can be installed in the switch installation groove 301, so that the bottom shell 30 and the switch assembly 20 are assembled to form a neat outer periphery, which is convenient for assembling with the corresponding shell 10 and makes the overall structure more beautiful.
[0048] As shown, Figure 2 The switch assembly 20 includes a power switch 203, a micro switch 202 and a driving mechanism 201. The power switch 203 is arranged in the switch installation groove 301 and is used to control the start and stop of the hair dryer. The micro switch 202 is arranged in the switch installation groove 301 and is used to control the air temperature of the hair dryer. The driving mechanism 201 is slidably arranged in the switch installation groove 301, and the driving mechanism 201 is provided with a first abutting portion 20122 and a second abutting portion 20121. The driving mechanism 201 has a first stroke interval corresponding to the power switch 203 to control the power switch 203 through the first abutting portion 20122, and a second stroke interval corresponding to the micro switch 202 to control the micro switch 202 through the second abutting portion 20121. The second stroke interval belongs to the last stroke interval of the first stroke interval.
[0049] In the exemplary embodiment, to facilitate the control of the driving mechanism 201 on the power switch 203 and the micro switch 202, the sliding path of the driving mechanism 201 is designed as a long slot on the outer peripheral wall of the bottom shell 30 along the axis direction parallel to the bottom shell 30, and the micro switch 202 and the power switch 203 are arranged along the sliding path of the driving mechanism 201. It can be understood that, corresponding to the sliding path of the driving mechanism 201, the first stroke interval can be determined as the stroke after keeping the power switch 203 open, and the second stroke interval can be determined as the stroke after opening the micro switch 202.
[0050] In the process of user operating the hair dryer, starting from the beginning of the first stroke interval, sliding the driving mechanism 201 along the length direction of the long groove, first, the power switch 203 is actuated by the first abutting portion 20122, until the power switch 203 is turned on, at this time the hair dryer is started; when the user needs cold wind, the driving mechanism 201 can be continuously slid, the second abutting portion 20121 of the driving mechanism 201 contacts the micro switch 202 (corresponding to the starting point of the second stroke interval), the driving mechanism 201 is continuously slid, the micro switch 202 is triggered to act, so that the output wind volume and wind temperature and the like can be controlled.
[0051] The hair dryer keeps the one-key cold wind function, adopts the micro switch 202 to control the one-key cold wind, and optimizes the driving mechanism 201 to make the micro switch 202 and the power switch 203 into a related control structure, a total of three gears, the three gears of shutdown, startup and one-key cold wind are combined into one push button, so that the key structure is simplified. This technology reduces the time required when switching modes, is more convenient and faster to operate, and is not easy to misoperate.
[0052] In some example embodiments, considering that the driving mechanism 201 needs to be able to control the power switch 203 and the micro switch 202 in association, in the example embodiment, the push button can be provided to cooperate with the connecting rod 2012 to achieve this. For example, as shown in Figure 3 , as shown in Figure 3 is an exploded view of the internal part structure of the hair dryer according to an example embodiment, the driving mechanism 201 includes a switch push button 2011 and a connecting rod 2012. The connecting rod 2012 is slidably arranged in a switch mounting groove 301, one end of the connecting rod 2012 is connected to the switch push button 2011, the other end of the connecting rod 2012 is provided with a first abutting portion 20122, and the middle of the connecting rod 2012 is provided with a second abutting portion 20121. Optionally, a guide sliding groove 3011 is arranged in the switch mounting groove 301, and the connecting rod 2012 is arranged in the guide sliding groove 3011, which can ensure the stability of the sliding direction of the connecting rod 2012, so that the power switch 203 can be accurately controlled by the first abutting portion 20122, and the micro switch 202 can be controlled by the second abutting portion 20121.
[0053] In this embodiment, the user manually operates the switch push button 2011, the switch push button 2011 drives the connecting rod 2012 to slide, and the first abutting portion 20122 and the second abutting portion 20121 on the connecting rod 2012 control the power switch 203 and the micro switch 202 in the corresponding stroke interval, respectively. It should be noted that the positions of the first abutting portion 20122 and the second abutting portion 20121 can be exchanged, and the specific positions can be determined according to the positions of the micro switch 202 and the power switch 203.
[0054] In some example embodiments, asFigure 3 As shown, in this exemplary embodiment, the driving mechanism 201 further includes a reset component. The reset component is used to provide a restoring force to the driving mechanism 201 so as to automatically restore the driving mechanism 201 to the starting point of the second travel interval.
[0055] During use, if the hair dryer is currently in the cold air mode, simply release your hand, and the reset assembly will automatically return the connecting rod 2012 to the starting point of the second stroke range. The power switch 203 remains on, and the hair dryer automatically switches to the previous operating mode. In addition, after styling your hair, you only need to push the hair dryer back a short distance to turn it off, which helps maintain the styling effect. This technology further reduces the time required for mode switching, making operation more convenient, faster, and less prone to misoperation.
[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the assembly of the bottom housing and the switch assembly according to an exemplary embodiment. In this exemplary embodiment, the reset assembly includes an elastic connector 204, which utilizes the reverse force provided by the elastic connector 204 when subjected to force to control the rebound of the connecting rod 2012. One end of the elastic connector 204 is connected to / contacted with the connecting rod 2012, while the other end of the elastic connector 204 is connected to / contacted with the connecting portion 304 within the switch mounting slot 301.
[0057] For example, the elastic connector 204 is constructed as a spring. The connection relationship between the spring and the corresponding component is determined according to whether it is used as a tension spring or a pressure spring. If it is a tension spring, the two ends of the spring need to be connected to the connecting rod 2012 and the connecting portion 304 in the switch installation slot 301 respectively; if it is a pressure spring, the two ends of the spring need to be respectively connected to the connecting rod 2012 and the connecting portion 304 in the switch installation slot 301, thereby simplifying the assembly process. Figure 5 As shown, when using the hair dryer, you only need to release your hand, and it will automatically bounce back to the starting point of the second stroke interval under the pressure released by the spring. At this time, the power switch 203 is still on, and it will automatically switch from the cold air mode to the previous working mode.
[0058] It should be noted that to maintain the stability of the pressure spring, limiting posts can be formed on the connecting rod 2012 and the connecting portion 304 within the switch mounting slot 301. The two limiting posts are respectively provided at both ends of the spring to limit the radial movement of the spring, thereby maintaining the reliability of the pressure spring. In addition, the elastic connector 204 can also be constructed as a coil spring or elastic paddle, etc., so long as it can provide the corresponding restoring force for the connecting rod 2012. The specific location and working principle of the connection are not further described here.
[0059] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 FIG. 1, a switch assembly is provided for a hair dryer. Figure 7 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the switch assembly of the hair dryer when the hair dryer is first turned on, according to an example embodiment. To avoid the connecting rod 2012 being too loose in the switch mounting groove 301, causing the power switch 203 to frequently switch between the on and off states due to misoperation, a limiting structure can be provided in the switch mounting groove 301 to limit the sliding of the connecting rod 2012. For example, a limiting structure is provided in the switch mounting groove 301, which is used to cooperate with the protrusion on the connecting rod 2012 to limit the connecting rod 2012 at the end of the first stroke interval in the first stroke interval.
[0060] It should be noted that the limiting structure is not completely limiting the sliding of the connecting rod 2012 from the start to the end of the first stroke interval. When the pushing force on the connecting rod 2012 meets a critical value, the connecting rod 2012 will be released from the limiting effect of the limiting structure, i.e. moved into the second stroke interval, so as to control the micro switch 202.
[0061] To ensure the balance of the limiting force on both sides of the connecting rod 2012, two limiting structures can be provided, which are distributed on both sides of the connecting rod 2012. For example, as shown in Figure 7 the limiting structure includes a first limiting structure 305 and a second limiting structure 306 formed on the inner walls of the opposite two grooves of the switch mounting groove 301, wherein the first limiting structure 305 and the second limiting structure 306 are respectively located on both sides of the sliding path of the connecting rod 2012, the first limiting structure 305 cooperates with the first protrusion 20123 on one side of the connecting rod 2012, and the second limiting structure 306 cooperates with the second protrusion 20124 on the other side of the connecting rod 2012.
[0062] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 to avoid the protrusion and the limiting structure being stuck, affecting the sliding of the connecting rod 2012, the corresponding contact surfaces can be optimized. For example, the side of the first protrusion 20123 corresponding to the first limiting structure 305 is formed as an arc surface, and / or the side of the second protrusion 20124 corresponding to the second limiting structure 306 is formed as an arc surface.
[0063] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the hair dryer further comprises a housing 10. The housing 10 is sleeved outside the bottom shell 30, and the housing 10 is provided with a switch hole for leading out the switch push button 2011. Considering that the user needs to slide a certain distance along the length direction of the connecting rod 2012 when operating the switch push button 2011, the switch hole can be made into a long hole, and at this time, the sliding distance of the switch push button 2011 in the long hole corresponds to the first stroke interval. In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly operation of the switch assembly 20 between the bottom shell 30 and the housing 10, the switch push button 2011 and the connecting rod 2012 are optionally detachably connected. For example, a buckle structure is arranged, and the switch push button 2011 and the connecting rod 2012 are connected by the buckle.
[0064] In some example embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 is a schematic view of the bottom shell structure and the assembly of the switch assembly according to an example embodiment. The switch mounting groove 301 is provided with a first buckle 302 and a second buckle 303, the first buckle 302 is used for clamping the power switch 203, and the second buckle 303 is used for clamping the micro switch 202.
[0065] The hair dryer can control the one-key cold wind through the micro switch 202 while keeping the one-key cold wind function. The micro switch 202 and the power switch 203 are made into an associated control structure based on the connecting rod 2012, and the stroke has three gears, so that the off, on and one-key cold wind three gears are combined on the switch push button 2011, and the key structure is simplified. In the process of using the hair dryer, only the hand needs to be loosened, and under the spring release pressure, it is automatically returned to the power switch 203 opening state, and at the same time, it is automatically switched to the last working mode. After the user styles the hair, only two gears are pushed back by hand to achieve the purpose of convenient and fast shutdown, which is more helpful to maintain the styling effect of the hair. This technology reduces the time required for mode switching, is more convenient and faster to operate, and is not easy to misoperate.
[0066] As Figure 6 shown, Figure 6 is a schematic view of the switch assembly state when the hair dryer is turned off according to an example embodiment, at this time, the power switch 203 is in the off state, the machine does not work, and at this time, the connecting rod 2012 does not move; as Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown, the connecting rod 2012 is pushed to move in the direction of the arrow, at this time, the connecting rod 2012 and the first contact point 2031 of the power switch 203 are in contact, the machine enters the working state, and the connecting rod 2012 will not retreat due to the limitation of the limiting structure, at this time, the connecting rod 2012 and the micro switch 202 are in a non-contact state, and the micro switch 202 does not work; as Figures 7-9As shown, the continuous pushing of the connecting rod 2012 continues to move in the direction of the arrow, and contacts the micro switch 202. Since the micro switch 202 is connected to the control board, the control board can control the working of the heater and / or the fan unit. After a certain stroke of sliding, the second contact 2021 of the micro switch 202 is triggered, and the one-key cold wind mode starts to work. The control board controls the power of the heater and the change of the rotating speed of the fan unit. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state. When the finger is released, the connecting rod 2012 automatically returns to Figure 7 As shown, the position of the one-key cold wind is closed. At this time, the machine automatically switches to the previous working mode.
[0067] The above examples take the power switch and the function implementation of the one-key cold wind as examples to illustrate the cooperation and function implementation mode of the two keys. It can be understood that the power switch can be combined with other function keys to control the working of the hair dryer. That is, after the micro switch is triggered, the hair dryer realizes other functions, such as the change of the wind temperature, the change of the wind speed, the accessory identification function, etc.
