[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] In practical applications, hair dryers and hand dryers are usually installed separately because they serve different purposes. This means that a separate hair dryer and hand dryer are needed to meet the user's needs, as is the case in some hotels, high-end clubs, and even some home settings. However, the problem is that installing separate hair dryers and hand dryers undoubtedly increases costs and takes up a lot of space.

[0025] Therefore, this utility model aims to provide a hair dryer support that can not only serve as a fixing device for the hair dryer to place when it is not in use, but also function as a hand dryer together with the hair dryer, thus eliminating the need for a separate hand dryer, thereby reducing costs and increasing space.

[0026] To better illustrate the hair dryer support according to the embodiments of this utility model, the following will describe it in detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Specifically:

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this is a hair dryer stand 10 provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, used to hold a hair dryer 20. The hair dryer stand 10 includes a bracket 11 and a sensing device and a control device disposed on the bracket 11. Wherein:

[0029] The bracket 11 is provided with a receiving groove 111 for placing a hair dryer 20 and an air outlet 112 communicating with the receiving groove 111. When the hair dryer 20 is placed in the receiving groove 111, the air outlet of the hair dryer 20 is opposite to the air outlet 112, thereby ensuring that the hair dryer 20 can blow air outward through the air outlet 112. In a specific implementation, the receiving groove 111 is located at the top of the bracket 11, and the air outlet 112 extends through the bottom of the bracket 11. Of course, in a specific implementation, considering that the placement position of the hair dryer is not limited, in addition to being placed on the top of the hair dryer support 10, it can also be placed or hung on the side wall or bottom of the hair dryer support 10. Therefore, the receiving groove 111 can not only be set at the top of the bracket 11, but also be opened in the side wall or bottom of the bracket 11. Or, in order to accommodate multiple hair dryers or meet different usage habits of hair dryers, the receiving groove 111 can be opened in multiple locations among the top, side wall and bottom of the bracket 11.

[0030] The sensing device includes a first sensor 12 disposed at the air outlet 112 to sense whether an object is approaching, and a second sensor 13 disposed in the receiving slot 111 to sense whether the hair dryer 20 has detached from the receiving slot 111. A control device is electrically connected to the first sensor 12, the second sensor 13, and the hair dryer 20, respectively. It is used to control the hair dryer 20 to start blowing air when the first sensor 12 senses an object approaching the air outlet 112, and to control the hair dryer 20 to stop blowing air when the first sensor 12 stops sensing an object approaching the air outlet 112. Simultaneously, it is also used to control the hair dryer 20 to start blowing air when the second sensor 13 senses the hair dryer 20 has detached from the receiving slot 111, and to control the hair dryer 20 to stop blowing air when the second sensor 13 senses the hair dryer 20 has been placed back into the receiving slot 111.

[0031] Specifically, when the user removes the hair dryer 20 from its stand, the hair dryer 20 automatically starts blowing air, functioning as a standalone hair dryer. When the user puts the hair dryer 20 back onto its stand after use, the hair dryer 20 automatically stops blowing air. If the user's hand approaches the air outlet 112 at this time, the hair dryer 20 will continue to blow air; when the user removes their hand, the hair dryer 20 will automatically stop blowing air, functioning as a hand dryer.

[0032] Specifically, the edge of the air outlet 112, away from the receiving groove 111, extends inward to form an end face 113. The middle of the end face 113 has an opening 114 communicating with the air outlet 112, thereby enabling concentrated airflow and improving the hand-drying effect. A first sensor 12 is located at this end face 113. Since air ultimately exits through the opening 114 when used as a hand dryer, placing the first sensor 12 at this end face 113 makes the hand-drying action recognition more accurate and reliable. Furthermore, in specific implementations, the first sensor 12 can be an infrared distance sensor, a proximity switch, etc., as long as it can detect the approach of an object; no specific limitation is made. In some optional embodiments, when used as a hand dryer, the control device can control the hair dryer 20 to blow air in a user-defined mode, such as, but not limited to, using a medium-heat mode. This allows for setting specific hand-drying modes, improving the user experience and adapting to different usage scenarios.

[0033] In specific implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the second sensor 13 is preferably disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 111, and the second sensor 13 is preferably a tactile switch. When the hair dryer 20 is placed in the receiving groove 111, under the action of gravity, the hair dryer 20 naturally presses against the tactile switch. At this time, the tactile switch transmits an electrical signal to the control device, indicating that the hair dryer 20 has been placed in the receiving groove 111. When the hair dryer 20 is removed, the tactile switch stops being pressed and resets, and the tactile switch stops transmitting electrical signals to the control device. The control device thus determines that the hair dryer 20 has been removed, thereby controlling the hair dryer 20 to blow air automatically. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the second sensor 13 can also be a distance sensor, a proximity switch, a magnetic induction sensor, a contact switch, etc., and the second sensor 13 is not limited to being disposed at the bottom of the receiving groove 111. In other optional embodiments, the second sensor 13 can also be disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove 111, or the second sensor 13 can be disposed at both the bottom and the side wall of the receiving groove 111.

[0034] In addition, in specific implementations, the first sensor 12 and the second sensor 13 can be electrically connected to the control device via a wired connection or via a wireless connection such as Bluetooth or WiFi. The control device and the hair dryer 20 are preferably electrically connected wirelessly via Bluetooth or WiFi, but a wired connection via a USB interface is also possible. Furthermore, the control device (not shown in the figure) is integrated inside the bracket and can be a microcontroller, microcontroller unit (MCU), or similar device.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be noted that this embodiment is a preferred implementation, integrating both the first sensor 12 and the second sensor 13. The integration of the second sensor 13 is to further improve the user experience, achieving an intelligent effect where the hair dryer automatically blows air when removed and stops blowing when placed back, eliminating the need for manual on / off operation and improving the user experience. Therefore, in some alternative embodiments, the second sensor 13 can be omitted to further reduce costs. In this case, the user manually turns the hair dryer on when removed and manually turns it off and puts it back after use.

[0036] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, an outer side wall (preferably the back side) of the bracket 11 is provided with a fixing structure 115 for fixing the hair dryer 20 support to a fixed object, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in some preferred implementations of this embodiment, the fixing structure 115 is specifically a buckle, which can be detachably fastened to a wall or other fixed object. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the fixing structure 115 can also be a bolt, a magnetic structure, an adhesive backing, etc.

[0037] In addition, hair dryers 20 are generally equipped with nozzles 21. Concentrated airflow is achieved by fitting the nozzle 21 onto the air outlet of the hair dryer 20. Therefore, in some optional embodiments, the bracket 11 may also be provided with a detachable nozzle fixing part 116 for fixing the nozzle 21. The nozzle fixing part 116 is preferably located at the bottom of the bracket 11, and multiple nozzle fixing parts 116 can be provided to accommodate multiple nozzles 21. In specific use, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the nozzle 21 can be fixed to the nozzle fixing part 116. When needed, the nozzle 21 can be removed and placed on the air outlet of the hair dryer 20. The connection method between the nozzle 21 and the nozzle fixing part 116 can be the same as the matching method between the nozzle 21 and the air outlet of the hair dryer 20, such as magnetic attraction, sleeve connection, screw connection, etc. In addition, the nozzle 21 is not limited to being fixed to the bottom of the hair dryer stand 10, but can also be fixed to the top or side wall of the hair dryer stand 10. Correspondingly, the setting position of the nozzle fixing part 116 on the bracket can also be changed accordingly, without specific limitation.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] This utility model provides a second embodiment of a hair dryer system, including a hair dryer and a hair dryer stand as described in any of the above embodiments. The hair dryer can be placed on the hair dryer stand to form a hand dryer. The specific cooperation method and working principle of the hair dryer and hair dryer stand are described in the above embodiments and their corresponding drawings, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0040] In summary, by designing a hair dryer stand and cleverly incorporating sensors and controls on it, the hair dryer can be used independently or combined with the stand to function as a hand dryer. When the first sensor detects an object approaching the air outlet, the hair dryer automatically starts blowing air, thus eliminating the need for a separate hand dryer, thereby reducing costs and maximizing space utilization.

[0041] It should be noted that the hair dryer system provided in the second embodiment of this utility model has a similar implementation principle and technical effect as that in the first embodiment.
