[0046] In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present application clear and concise, the present application omits the detailed description of known functions and known components.

[0047] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a hair care appliance, which comprises a first arm 1, a second arm 2 and a locking unit, the first end of the second arm 2 is connected with the first end of the first arm 1, and the second arm 2 can rotate relative to the first arm 1 to have a first state (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 ) of folding relative to the first arm 1 and a second state (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ) of unfolding relative to the first arm 1. That is, the first end of the first arm 1 and the first end of the second arm 2 are rotationally connected. The locking unit is used to keep the second arm 2 in the first state, so that the air discharged by the second air outlet 22 is used to blow dry the hair, and the hair care appliance is used as a hair dryer.

[0048] As shown in Figures 5 to 7 , the first arm 1 has an air flow channel 11 extending from the first end of the first arm 1 to the second end of the first arm 1. The first end of the first arm 1 is provided with an air inlet 12 communicating with the air flow channel 11, and the second end of the first arm 1 is provided with a first air outlet 13 communicating with the air flow channel 11, so that external air can enter through the air inlet 12 and be discharged through the first air outlet 13 after flowing through the entire air flow channel 11. The second end of the first arm 1 is also provided with a first clamping piece 14.

[0049] Continuing to combine Figures 5 to 7 , the air flow channel 11 is provided with a blowing unit 3, a heating unit 4 and a control unit 5. The blowing unit 3 is used to provide power to the air entering the air flow channel 11 through the air inlet 12, so that the air flows in the air flow channel 11 from the air inlet 12 to the first air outlet 13, and is finally sent out through the first air outlet 13. The heating unit 4 is used to heat the air flowing through the air flow channel 11, so that the air sent out from the first air outlet 13 is hot air. The control unit 5 is connected with the power supply, which is used to control whether the power supply supplies power to the blowing unit 3 and the heating unit 4, and controls the opening and closing of the heating unit 4.

[0050] As shown in Figures 5 to 7 , the second end of the second arm 2 is provided with a second clamping piece 23 and a second air outlet 22, the second clamping piece 23 cooperates with the first clamping piece 14 to clamp the hair, and the second air outlet 22 is opposite to the first air outlet 13, so that the air sent out from the first air outlet 13 is discharged outward through the second air outlet 22.

[0051] The hair care appliance of the embodiments of the present application, when used as a styling appliance, clamps the hair to be styled between the first clamp 14 and the second clamp 23, and heats the hair to be styled by the continuous high-speed hot air flow to achieve the styling effect. Since the hair is styled by the continuous high-speed hot air flow, the two clamps do not need to be set to a high temperature to directly style the hair, and thus the damage to the hair during styling can be greatly reduced. Moreover, since the first arm 1 and the second arm 2 can be kept in the folded state, the hot air can be smoothly sent out from the second air outlet 22, and the hair can be dried by the hot air, so that the appliance can also be used as a hair dryer, increasing the function and meeting the various needs of the user.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The second end of the first arm 1 has a first clamping end face 15, and the first air outlet 13 and the first clamp 14 are both arranged on the first clamping end face 15 and close to each other, so that the air sent out by the first air outlet 13 directly acts on the hair clamped by the first clamp 14. The second end of the second arm 2 has a second clamping end face 21, and the second clamp 23 is arranged on the second clamping end face 21. When the second arm 2 is in the first state, the second clamping end face 21 faces the first clamping end face 15, the second clamp 23 contacts the first clamp 14, the second air outlet 22 covers the first air outlet 13, and the second air outlet 22 penetrates through the second clamping end face 21 to the outer peripheral surface of the second arm 2 opposite to the second clamping end face 21. In this way, the air sent out by the first air outlet 13 is all discharged by the second air outlet 22 after styling the hair clamped between the two clamps, ensuring the smoothness of the air flow.

[0053] Continuing to combine Figures 1 to 4 The first arm 1 and the second arm 2 are both long rod-shaped, so that the portions close to the first ends of the two arms can form handle portions for the user to hold, and the portions close to the second ends of the two arms form action portions. The first arm 1 has a first surface opposite to the second arm 2 and a second surface away from the first arm 1, and the second arm 2 has a third surface opposite to the first arm 1 and a fourth surface away from the first arm 1. The first clamping end face 15 is formed on the portion of the first surface corresponding to the action portion, and the first clamping end face 15 can be a plane. The second clamping end face 21 is formed on the portion of the third surface corresponding to the action portion, and the second clamping end face 21 can be a plane. When the second arm 2 is in the first state, the first clamping end face 15 and the second clamping end face 21 are opposite and parallel. The second surface of the first arm 1 and the fourth surface of the second arm 2 are both circular arc surfaces, and when the second arm 2 is folded with the first arm 1, the two arms form a structure close to a cylinder, so that the appearance is beautiful, the structure is compact and regular, and the appliance is easy to store.

[0054] In addition, in order to effectively utilize the space of the handle portion of the second arm 2, the handle portion of the second arm 2 can be designed as a structure with a circular arc cross section, so that the handle portion of the second arm 2 is formed with a concave cavity. The first surface of the corresponding handle portion of the first arm 1 is arched upward, so that the airflow channel 11 can be designed to be larger in the dimension perpendicular to the flow direction, so as to accommodate the control unit 5 and the air supply unit 3. When the second arm 2 is folded with the first arm 1, the arched portion of the first arm 1 is located in the concave cavity of the second arm 2.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , the first clamping piece 14 is long strip-shaped and extends along the length direction of the first arm 1, and is arranged close to the side of the first clamping end face 15 parallel to the length direction of the first arm 1. The first air outlet 13 is long strip-shaped and extends along the length direction of the first arm 1, so as to be parallel to the first clamping piece 14. That is, the first clamping piece 14 and the first air outlet 13 are arranged in parallel, and the first air outlet 13 is arranged close to the inside of the first clamping end face 15 relative to the first clamping piece 14. By arranging the side of the first clamping piece 14 close to the first clamping end face 15, the hair care appliance can clamp the hair as close to the root as possible when used for styling, thereby improving the styling effect.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , the second clamping piece 23 is long strip-shaped and extends along the length direction of the second arm 2, and is arranged close to the side of the second clamping end face 21 parallel to the length direction of the second arm 2. See Figure 9 .

[0057] It can be understood that the above shapes and arrangement positions of the first clamping piece 14 and the second clamping piece 23 are only a preferred example, and other shapes or other positions are not excluded.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the second air outlet 22 is composed of one or more through holes. The shape of the through hole is not limited. For example, it can be rectangular, circular or elliptical, etc. When there are multiple through holes, the multiple through holes can be arranged in a single row along the length direction of the first arm 1, or can be arranged in multiple rows or arrays, and the specific arrangement form is not limited.

[0059] Continuing to combine Figure 10, the second air outlet 22 is one and is through the second clamping end surface 21 of the second arm 2 to the fourth surface of the second arm 2 away from the first arm 1. And the second air outlet 22 occupies the entire second clamping end surface 21 as much as possible, and only a circle of outer contour forming the second air outlet 22 is reserved. The second clamping piece 23 is arranged along the outer contour parallel to the length direction of the second arm 2, avoiding covering the second air outlet 22. In this way, the hot air can be smoothly and quickly blown out of the second air outlet 22, which is more beneficial for use as a hair dryer.

[0060] Figure 11 The difference between the second air outlet 22 in Figure 10 and the second air outlet 22 in Figure 11 is only in the number, by arranging multiple second air outlets 22 in , the structural strength of the action part of the second arm 2 can be increased, and the stability of product use can be improved.

[0061] Figures 5 to 7 As shown in , in the gas flow direction, the heating unit 4 is arranged downstream of the air supply unit 3. Among them, as shown in Figure 5 , embodiment one, the heating unit 4 is arranged in the action part of the first arm 1, that is, in the air flow channel 11 corresponding to the first clamping end surface 15, and directly opposite the first air outlet 13, so that the hot air heated by the heating unit 4 is directly sent out from the first air outlet 13, reducing the hot air flow path, avoiding heat loss, ensuring the hot air temperature, and improving the styling and drying effect. Moreover, arranging the heating unit 4 in the action part can effectively utilize the space of the air flow channel 11 corresponding to this part, so that the length of the entire product can be reduced, and the miniaturization of the product can be utilized. In addition, due to the smaller cross-sectional size of the air flow channel 11 corresponding to the first clamping end surface 15, the heating unit 4 can be designed as an elongated structure extending along the length direction of the first arm 1 to ensure the heating effect. As shown in Figure 6 , embodiment two, the heating unit 4 is arranged in the handle part of the first arm 1, that is, the heating unit 4 is arranged upstream of the air flow channel 11 part corresponding to the first clamping end surface 15. The cross-sectional size of the air flow channel 11 in the handle part is larger than that in the action part, and the heating unit 4 can be designed as a block structure to avoid causing the size of the handle part to be extended and the volume of the product to be increased.

[0062] The specific structure of the air supply unit 3 and the heating unit 4 is not limited, as long as the respective functions can be realized. For example, the air supply unit 3 can be a fan, and further, the air supply unit 3 can include a motor and a fan blade connected with the motor, when the motor is started, the fan blade will be driven to rotate, and when the fan blade rotates, the air in the air flow channel 11 will be pushed to flow in the direction from the air inlet 12 to the first air outlet 13. The heating unit 4 can include a heating resistance wire or a heating tube. When the heating unit 4 is powered on, the heating resistance wire or the heating tube generates heat, and the air flowing through the surface of the heating resistance wire or the heating tube is heated, and hot air is formed.

[0063] It can be understood that the power source connected with the control unit 5 can be an external power source, such as a mains power supply, which is connected with the control unit 5 through a power line 6, and the control unit 5 controls the power transmission of the external power source to the air supply unit 3 and the heat supply unit 4; the power source can also be a battery, which can be arranged in the first end of the first arm 1 and connected with the control unit 5.

[0064] Wherein, according to the actual space size of the air flow channel 11, the control unit 5 can be arranged upstream or downstream of the air supply unit 3 in the gas flow direction; the control unit 5 can also be split into two parts connected by electricity, one part is arranged upstream of the air supply unit 3, and the other part is arranged downstream of the air supply unit 3. The control unit 5 includes a main control board, which can be arranged parallel to the gas flow direction or perpendicular to the gas flow direction according to the space shape of the air flow channel 11. That is, the number, position and state of the control unit 5 are not limited, and can be selected and determined according to the actual demand and the size of the arrangement space.

[0065] The first arm 1 or the second arm 2 can be provided with a touch panel or a key, which is connected with the control unit 5 and used to input instructions to the control unit 5 to start the hair care appliance. Wherein, when the hair care appliance is started, the air supply unit 3 is automatically started to work, and the heat supply unit 4 can be controlled by the control unit 5 according to the instructions input by the user to determine whether it is started. So that when the user uses the application to dry the hair, he can choose to use cold air or hot air to dry the hair according to his needs.

[0066] The specific structure and arrangement position of the locking unit are not limited in the application, as long as the second arm 2 can be locked in the first state when it is rotated to the first state with the first arm 1. The following will be exemplarily described by taking the magnetic adsorption type and the buckle type as examples, but not as a limitation of the application.

[0067] In some embodiments, the locking unit uses the principle of magnetic adsorption for locking. As shown in Figure 4 The locking unit includes a first magnetic adsorption piece 91 and a second magnetic adsorption piece 92, the first magnetic adsorption piece 91 is arranged at the second end of the first arm 1, and the second magnetic adsorption piece 92 is arranged at the second end of the second arm 2. When the second arm 2 is in the first state, the first magnetic adsorption piece 91 and the second magnetic adsorption piece 92 are opposite and attracted to each other. In this way, the first arm 1 and the second arm 2 are kept in the folded state and form a rod shape. At this time, when the hair care appliance is started and the second air outlet 22 is aligned with the hair, the hair can be dried by the air discharged from the second air outlet 22.

[0068] Exemplarily, as shown in Figures 4 to 7As shown, the end of the second end of the first arm 1 is provided with a first accommodating groove, and the first magnetic attraction member 91 is fixed in the first accommodating groove. The end of the second end of the second arm 2 is provided with a second accommodating groove, and the second magnetic attraction member 92 is fixed in the second accommodating groove. When the second arm 2 gradually approaches the first arm 1, the second magnetic attraction member 92 gradually approaches the first magnetic attraction member 91, and the attraction force between the two gradually increases. When the second arm 2 approaches the first arm 1 to be folded, the attraction force increases to a value that can keep the first arm 1 and the second arm 2 in the folded state and will not easily unfold. The two magnetic attraction members are respectively arranged at the ends of the two arms, which will facilitate keeping the two arms in the folded state.

[0069] The first magnetic attraction member 91 and the second magnetic attraction member 92 can both be permanent magnets, and the two magnetic attraction members are opposite in polarity when the second arm 2 is in the first state. The first magnetic attraction member 91 and the second magnetic attraction member 92 can be one ferromagnetic component (the ferromagnetic component refers to a component that can be magnetized to be attracted to a magnet, such as an iron piece) and the other is an electromagnet. When the electromagnet is powered on, the electromagnet can attract the ferromagnetic component to keep the two arms in the folded state. The first magnetic attraction member 91 and the second magnetic attraction member 92 can be one permanent magnet or electromagnet and the other is a ferromagnetic component (such as an iron piece). When the second arm 2 is in the first state, the permanent magnet or the powered-on electromagnet attracts the ferromagnetic component to keep the two arms in the folded state.

[0070] In addition to the above-mentioned magnetic attraction structure, the locking unit can also adopt a bayonet structure. As shown in Figure 7 The locking unit includes a clamping hole 16 provided on the first arm 1 and a buckling assembly 93 provided on the second arm 2. When the second arm 2 is folded with the first arm 1, the buckling assembly 93 can be combined with the clamping hole 16, thereby fixing the second arm 2 in the first state of being folded with the first arm 1.

[0071] Continuing to combine Figure 7 The first arm 1 has a thickness difference between the handle portion and the action portion, and the two are connected by a slope surface 17. The end of the handle portion close to the action portion extends towards the action portion and forms a clamping hole 16 with the cross section.

[0072] As shown in Figure 8As shown, the second arm 2 is provided with a mounting hole 24 penetrating through the third surface and the fourth surface of the handle portion of the second arm 2. The snap-fit assembly 93 includes a snap-fit member 931 and an elastic member 932. The snap-fit member 931 is arranged on the mounting hole 24, and an end of the snap-fit member 931 towards the first arm 1 is formed with a hook portion. The other end of the snap-fit member 931 is exposed outside the second arm 2 from the mounting hole 24, and is limited on the mounting hole 24 and can move along the mounting hole 24 in the length direction of the second arm 2. The elastic member 932 acts on the snap-fit member 931 to apply a force to the snap-fit member 931 to move the snap-fit member 931 towards the first end of the second arm 2, and further move the hook portion towards the clamping hole 16. When the second arm 2 is switched from the second state to the first state, the hook portion of the snap-fit member 931 gradually enters the clamping hole 16 and is snap-fitted with the clamping hole 16 to limit the second arm 2 in the first state. When the other end of the snap-fit member 931 is pushed to move the hook portion away from the clamping hole 16, the hook portion can be pulled out of the clamping hole 16 to release the locking of the second arm 2, so that the second arm 2 can be switched from the first state to the second state.

[0073] It can be understood that the two different forms of locking units can be used alone or in combination. Moreover, the second arm 2 can be connected to the first arm 1 through a hinge, a spring and a spring sheet, so that when the locking unit releases the locking of the second arm 2, the second arm 2 can automatically separate from the first arm 1, improving the convenience of use.
