Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hair styling tools, specifically to the field of hair straighteners, and particularly to a hair straightener plate structure that can be reshaped. Background Technology
[0002] Hair straighteners, a common tool in the hair styling industry, primarily function to straighten hair by using heated straightening plates. The working principle is simple: internal heating elements heat the straightening plates to a specific temperature, and then the hair is placed between the plates. Heat transfer denatures the proteins in the hair, thus fixing its shape. This tool is not only popular with home users but is also frequently used by professional hairstylists in salon services to meet diverse needs for straight hair styling.
[0003] However, despite the important role existing hair straighteners play in the hair styling industry, their structure and function still have some areas that urgently need improvement. Traditional hair straighteners are usually only equipped with heated straightening plates, shaping the hair through a single clamping and heating process. While this method is simple and direct, it has some shortcomings. First, a single heating and shaping may not achieve the desired straightening effect, especially for some hair types that are coarse or highly curly, often requiring multiple repetitions of heating and shaping. This not only increases the processing time but can also damage the hair. Second, when clamping the hair, existing hair straighteners, because the straightening plates are usually made of rigid materials, create a hard pull between the plates and the hair. This "hard pull" method can easily cause pulling and damage to the hair, especially after continuous or prolonged use, where the damage becomes more noticeable. Furthermore, the hair cuticle, as an important protective film on the hair surface, has a significant impact on the health and shine of the hair. When the cuticle is open, the hair is prone to dryness, brittleness, and frizz. In current hair straightening techniques, due to repeated heating and direct straightening, the hair cuticles are often left open. This not only affects the straightening effect but may also cause further damage to the hair. Specifically, repeated heating causes moisture to evaporate from the hair, preventing the cuticles from closing properly, thus causing the hair to lose its shine and elasticity. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned defects and provide a hair straightener plate structure that can perform secondary shaping. It is equipped with floating pressure strips and soft rubber strips that can perform secondary shaping. One straightening process is equivalent to the effect of straightening twice, which makes the straightening effect better. Secondary shaping better protects the hair cuticle, thereby improving the straightening effect and protecting hair health. It solves the technical problem of the prior art that requires repeated straightening and the straightening effect is not good.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:
[0006] A hair straightener plate structure capable of secondary shaping includes a first plate body and a second plate body arranged opposite each other. The first plate body and the second plate body can perform relative clamping actions. The opposite sides of the first plate body and the second plate body are respectively provided with a first straightening plate and a second straightening plate arranged opposite each other. The first straightening plate and the second straightening plate are each provided with a heating element for heating. When the first straightening plate and the second straightening plate are in a relative clamping state, they are used to clamp and heat the hair. The side of the first plate body opposite to the second plate body is also provided with a soft rubber strip. The soft rubber strip is located next to the first straightening plate and there is a gap between the soft rubber strip and the first straightening plate. The extension direction of the soft rubber strip is consistent with the extension direction of the first straightening plate. The side of the second plate body opposite to the soft rubber strip is also provided with a floating pressure strip. The floating pressure strip is located next to the second straightening plate and there is a gap between the floating pressure strip and the second straightening plate. The extension direction of the floating pressure strip is consistent with the extension direction of the second straightening plate.
[0007] In the above description, as a preferred embodiment, the first clamping plate body includes a first outer shell and a first heat insulation box. The first straightener and the soft adhesive strip are both installed inside the first heat insulation box. The second clamping plate body includes a second outer shell and a second heat insulation box. The second straightener and the floating pressure strip are both installed inside the second heat insulation box. Both the first and second heat insulation boxes provide good heat insulation, preventing heat loss after the first and second straighteners are heated by the heating element, and also preventing heat transfer to the first and second clamping plate bodies, thus affecting normal use by the user. Furthermore, both the first and second heat insulation boxes are provided with slots for matching and installing the corresponding first and second straighteners, ensuring the stability of the installation of the first and second straighteners.
[0008] In the above description, as a preferred embodiment, the first outer shell and the first heat insulation box are installed via a first silicone pad, allowing the first straightener to float within the elastic range of the first silicone pad. Similarly, the second outer shell and the second heat insulation box are installed via a second silicone pad, allowing the second straightener to float within the elastic range of the second silicone pad. Both the first and second silicone pads possess a certain degree of elasticity. By connecting and installing the first and second silicone pads, the corresponding first and second heat insulation boxes achieve an elastic floating adjustment effect after installation, resulting in a closer fit between the corresponding first and second straighteners when clamped.
[0009] In the above description, as a preferred embodiment, an elastic element is provided between the second heat insulation box and the floating pressure strip. The elastic force of the elastic element is directed towards the soft rubber strip, allowing the floating pressure strip to float within the elastic range of the elastic element. The function of the elastic element is also to enable the floating pressure strip to have an elastic floating adjustment effect, so that the floating pressure strip and the soft rubber strip fit more closely when clamped.
[0010] In the above description, as a preferred embodiment, one end of the second heat insulation box is provided with a pressure strip positioning groove for mating and installing the floating pressure strip, and both ends of the floating pressure strip are provided with limiting blocks for limiting its ejection from the pressure strip positioning groove. The elastic element is composed of two or more springs, and the opposite surfaces of the floating pressure strip and the pressure strip positioning groove are provided with recessed holes for mating and installing the springs.
[0011] In the above description, as a preferred embodiment, the first hair straightener, the second hair straightener, and the floating pressure strip are all made of aluminum, ceramic, or aluminum plates with ceramic coating.
[0012] In the above description, as a preferred embodiment, the first straightener and the soft rubber strip are flush with one end face of the second straightener, and the second straightener and the floating pressure strip are flush with one end face of the first straightener.
[0013] In the above description, as a preferred embodiment, the outer edges of the first straightener, the second straightener, the soft rubber strip, and the floating pressure strip are all rounded.
[0014] The addition of rounded corners is mainly based on the following considerations:
[0015] 1) Protects hair: The rounded corners reduce friction and damage when the straightener, soft strips, and floating clips come into contact with the hair. During heating and styling, sharp edges can snag or pull on the hair, causing breakage or tangles. The rounded corners provide a smoother transition, reducing damage to the hair.
[0016] 2) Enhance user safety: During use, the rounded corners reduce the potential damage to the user's skin caused by the accessories, thus improving the safety of use.
[0017] 3) Improve overall product quality: Rounded corners not only affect the functionality and safety of a product, but also directly impact its appearance and texture. Rounded edges make the product look more refined and upscale, meeting modern consumers' demands for aesthetics and quality.
[0018] In summary, the rounded corner design plays multiple roles on the outer edges of the first straightener, the second straightener, the soft rubber strip, and the floating pressure bar, protecting the hair, improving user safety, and enhancing the overall quality of the product.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: With the relative floating pressure strips and soft adhesive strips, when the first and second clamping plates perform relative clamping actions, the first straightening plate, the second straightening plate, the soft adhesive strips, and the floating pressure strips are simultaneously driven to perform relative clamping. During this process, the relative clamping of the first and second straightening plates can heat and shape the hair once, and the relative clamping of the soft adhesive strips and the floating pressure strips can shape the hair a second time. Because there is a gap between the floating pressure strips and the second straightening plate, the soft adhesive strips and the first straightening plate... There are gaps between the plates, allowing for pauses between the first and second shaping processes. The soft strips have a flexible structure, preventing damage to the hair during the hard-pull process. The second shaping process does not require heating the hair again. After pausing between the plates, the hair cuticles are closed, resulting in a better second shaping effect. The hair will appear smoother, softer, shinier, and the straightening effect will last longer. One straightening process is equivalent to two straightening processes, avoiding the need for repeated heating that could damage the hair. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-6 The hair straightener's specific implementation, featuring a secondary shaping capability, includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate. The first and second clamping plates are movable relative to each other to achieve a clamping action. The clamping or opening action of the first and second clamping plates can be achieved through a mechanical structure (such as a hinge). Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown. On the opposite sides of the first and second clamping plates, a first straightening plate 3 and a second straightening plate 8 are respectively provided. Both the first straightening plate 3 and the second straightening plate 8 are provided with a heating element (not shown in the figure). The heating element can be a PTC ceramic heating element. The corresponding PTC ceramic heating element can be directly attached to the first straightening plate 3 or the second straightening plate 8 to heat the first straightening plate 3 and the second straightening plate 8 through heat transfer. When the first straightening plate 3 and the second straightening plate 8 are in a relative clamping state, they are used to clamp and heat the hair.
[0029] To optimize heating performance, both the first straightener plate 3 and the second straightener plate 8 are made of materials with high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, such as aluminum, ceramic, or aluminum plates with a ceramic coating. These materials not only transfer heat to the hair quickly and evenly, but also effectively resist oxidation and corrosion during the heating process, extending their service life.
[0030] On the first clamping plate, a soft adhesive strip 4 is also provided. The soft adhesive strip 4 is located next to the first straightening plate 3 and is spaced apart from the first straightening plate 3. The extending direction of the soft adhesive strip 4 is consistent with the extending direction of the first straightening plate 3. In this embodiment, the soft adhesive strip 4 can be made of silicone, such as a silicone strip, or other soft adhesive strips. On the second clamping plate, a floating pressure strip 9 is provided corresponding to the position of the soft adhesive strip 4. The floating pressure strip 9 is located next to the second straightening plate 8 and is also spaced apart from the second straightening plate 8. The extending direction of the floating pressure strip 9 is consistent with the extending direction of the second straightening plate 8. The floating pressure strip 9 can be made of a rigid plate, such as aluminum, ceramic, or an aluminum plate with a ceramic coating, while the soft adhesive strip 4 opposite it is made of a soft material.
[0031] During use, when the first and second straightener plates clamp the hair relative to each other, the first straightener plate 3 and the second straightener plate 8 first heat and shape the hair. Subsequently, due to the presence of the soft rubber strip 4 and the floating pressure strip 9, they perform a second shaping of the hair. Because there is a gap between the soft rubber strip 4 and the floating pressure strip 9 and their respective straightener plates, there is a pause between the first and second shaping of the hair, thus avoiding excessive pulling and damage to the hair.
[0032] Furthermore, the soft adhesive strip 4, with its soft structure, further reduces damage to the hair and makes the secondary shaping process gentler. Since the secondary shaping process does not require further heating of the hair, damage caused by repeated heating can be avoided.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the specific structures of the first and second clamping bodies are as follows: The first clamping body includes a first outer shell 1 and a first heat insulation box 2, with the first straightener 3 and the soft adhesive strip 4 both installed inside the first heat insulation box 2. The second clamping body includes a second outer shell 6 and a second heat insulation box 7, with the second straightener 8 and the floating pressure strip 9 both installed inside the second heat insulation box 7. The arrangement of the first and second heat insulation boxes 2 and 7 can prevent the heat loss of the first straightener 3 and the second straightener 8 after being heated by the heating element, and at the same time prevent heat transfer to the first and second clamping bodies, thus affecting normal use by the user. In addition, the first and second heat insulation boxes 2 and 7 are also provided with slots for matching and installing the corresponding first straightener 3 and the second straightener 8 to ensure the stability of the installation of the first straightener 3 and the second straightener 8.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the first outer shell 1 and the first heat insulation box 2 are installed together by a first silicone pad 5, which allows the first straightener plate 3 to float within the elastic range of the first silicone pad 5. Similarly, the second outer shell 6 and the second heat insulation box 7 are installed together by a second silicone pad 10, which allows the second straightener plate 8 to float within the elastic range of the second silicone pad 10. The first silicone pad 5 and the second silicone pad 10 can be installed by screws.
[0035] To ensure the stability and adaptability of the floating pressure strip 9 during the clamping process, one end of the second heat insulation box 7 is provided with a pressure strip positioning groove for matching and installing the floating pressure strip 9. Both ends of the floating pressure strip 9 are provided with limiting blocks to restrict its ejection from the pressure strip positioning groove. This ensures that the floating pressure strip 9 can smoothly eject and conform to the hair when needed, and prevents it from falling off or being damaged when unnecessary.
[0036] Furthermore, to further enhance the buoyancy and adaptability of the floating pressure strip 9, an elastic element is provided between the second heat insulation box 7 and the floating pressure strip 9. The elastic force of the elastic element is directed towards the soft rubber strip 4, allowing the floating pressure strip 9 to float within the elastic range of the elastic element. This arrangement further enhances the protection of the hair and reduces damage caused by clamping. In this embodiment, the elastic element consists of three springs 11, which are evenly distributed below the floating pressure strip 9, providing it with stable support and buoyancy. The three springs 11 together provide the elastic force that causes the floating pressure strip 9 to move towards the soft rubber strip 4. At the same time, to facilitate the installation and positioning of the springs 11, the opposite surfaces of the floating pressure strip 9 and the pressure strip positioning groove are provided with recessed holes for mating and installing the springs 11.
[0037] During use, the user places their hair between the first straightener plate 3 and the second straightener plate 8, and then operates the straightener to clamp the first and second plates relative to each other. During this process, the first straightener plate 3 and the second straightener plate 8 heat and shape the hair initially. Subsequently, the soft rubber strip 4 and the floating pressure strip 9, under the action of the spring 11, perform a secondary shaping of the hair. Due to the floating nature of the pressure strip 9, it can better conform to the shape of the hair, avoiding damage caused by forceful pulling.
[0038] It is worth noting that, in order to improve the overall aesthetics and safety of the product, the outer edges of the first straightener 3, the second straightener 8, the soft adhesive strip 4, and the floating pressure strip 9 are all rounded. These rounded corner designs not only reduce damage to the hair during use, but also reduce the risk of injury if the user accidentally touches these parts.
[0039] Furthermore, to ensure that the first straightening plate 3 and the soft adhesive strip 4 remain flush when clamping hair, as do the second straightening plate 8 and the floating pressure strip 9, this embodiment employs precise dimensional control and positioning installation of these components during the design and manufacturing process. This not only guarantees the clamping effect of the hair straightener but also enhances the overall product quality and user experience.
[0040] In summary, the hair straightener plate structure capable of secondary shaping provided by this utility model, through the setting of floating pressure strips 9 and soft rubber strips 4, achieves secondary shaping of hair, improves the straightening effect, and protects the health of the hair.
[0041] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
