DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The utility model is further described below in connection with the drawings.

[0025] It should be noted that if the utility model has involved directional indication language, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, direction, orientation language, it is for the description of the relative position between components, not the absolute position of the related components, the position relationship between components, and is only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition, etc. between components in a certain posture, if the specific posture changes, the directional indication also changes accordingly. If the utility model has involved the language of quantity, such as "many", "multiple", "several" and the like, it specifically refers to two and more than two. The description of the connection between the two components appears many times in the following, which refers to the connection of pipe or opening and joint structure, and makes the two sealed communication, which can be fixed connection or detachable connection, detachable connection includes through screw joint connection, sealing abutment or interference fit connection.

[0026] For example, the water inlet pipe 51 is connected to the water inlet 14 of the upper shell 11, and the water outlet pipe 52 is connected to the water outlet 23 of the lower shell 12. Figures 1-3As shown, the hair care comb provided by the utility model, including casing 1, liquid storage module 2 and liquid delivery module 3 located in casing 1 and comb tooth module 4 located at one side of casing 1, the comb tooth module 4 includes liquid guide comb tooth 44 with liquid guide through hole in middle part, the liquid guide comb tooth 44 is connected with liquid storage module 2 or liquid delivery module 3 through liquid delivery pipe 35, the casing 1 is also provided with cleaning module 5, the cleaning module 5 includes water pump 53 with water inlet pipe 51 and water outlet pipe 52, the casing 1 is provided with water inlet 14, the water inlet pipe 51 is connected with water inlet 14, the liquid delivery pipe 35 is three-way structure, two interfaces are connected with liquid guide comb tooth 44 and water outlet pipe 52 respectively, and the other interface is connected with liquid storage module 2 or liquid delivery module 3. Among them, liquid storage module 2 is used to store nutrient solution, and the nutrient solution is hair growth liquid, hair conditioner or other essential oil with care effect on scalp and hair. Liquid delivery module 3 is used to send the nutrient solution in liquid storage module 2 into liquid delivery pipe 35 and spray from the outlet of liquid guide comb tooth 44. The liquid delivery pipe 35 can be an independent structure or an integral structure located in the casing 1. When the liquid guide comb tooth 44 needs to be cleaned, first, the water inlet 14 on the casing 1 is immersed in water, and then the water pump 53 is started, so that the clean water flows through the water inlet pipe 51, the water outlet pipe 52, the liquid delivery pipe 35 and the liquid guide comb tooth 44 in turn, so that the residual nutrient solution in the liquid delivery pipe 35 and the liquid guide comb tooth 44 is flushed out. Since the liquid delivery pipe 35 is a three-way pipe, it is necessary to avoid the nutrient solution flowing into the water pump 53 during hair care, and to avoid the clean water entering the liquid storage module 2 or the liquid delivery module 3 during cleaning. Specifically, a water pump 53 with anti-backflow function can be used, and a one-way valve or other form is arranged at the connection part of the liquid delivery pipe 35 and the liquid storage module 2 or the liquid delivery module 3 to realize the above functions.

[0027] In order to facilitate the supplement or replacement of the nutrient solution in the liquid storage module 2, the liquid storage module 2 can be arranged in a detachable structure, specifically, the liquid storage module 2 includes a mounting frame 21 and a liquid storage bottle 22 detachably mounted on the mounting frame 21, and the side of the casing 1 away from the comb tooth module 4 is provided with a containing cavity 15 with an opening, and the liquid storage module 2 is detachably mounted in the containing cavity 15 through the mounting frame 21. The mounting frame 21 can be mounted in the containing cavity 15 by clamping or interference fit. The liquid storage bottle 22 can be mounted on the mounting frame 21 by clamping, interference fit or threaded connection.

[0028] For the liquid delivery module, the utility model provides the following three structure forms:

[0029] The first kind, as Figure 4As shown, the infusion module 3 includes an infusion pump 34 with an inlet pipe 32 and an outlet pipe 33. The inlet pipe 32 is connected to the storage bottle 22, and the outlet pipe 33 is connected to the infusion tube 35. During hair care, the infusion pump 34 uses the inlet pipe 32 to draw nutrient solution from the storage bottle 22, then sends it into the infusion tube 35 through the outlet pipe 33, and finally sprays it out from the guide comb teeth 44.

[0030] The second type, such as Figure 5 As shown, the nutrient solution is also extracted using a pumping method, except that the water pump 53 in the cleaning module 5 also serves as the pump for the infusion module 3 to extract the nutrient solution. This method requires modification of the original cleaning module 5 and infusion pipe 35. The three-way connection of the infusion pipe 35 is equipped with a two-position three-way valve with two inlets and one outlet, which can switch one of the two inlets to be connected to the outlet. The two inlets are connected to the water inlet 14 and the storage bottle 22 respectively through the water inlet pipe 51 and the liquid inlet pipe 32. The outlet is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 53, and the water outlet of the water pump 53 is connected to the liquid guide comb 44 through the water outlet pipe 52. During hair care, the two-position three-way valve connects the liquid inlet pipe 32 to the water pump 53, sending the liquid in the storage bottle 22 into the liquid guide comb 44; when cleaning is required, the two-position three-way valve connects the water inlet pipe 51 to the water pump, using clean water to rinse the liquid guide comb 44. This method saves one water pump compared to the first method, but requires an additional two-position three-way valve; each method has its advantages and disadvantages.

[0031] The third type, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the infusion module 3 includes an air pump 31. One end of the storage bottle 22 has an outlet 23, and the other end has an air inlet 24. A piston 25 is located inside the storage bottle 22. The outlet 23 is connected to the infusion tube 35, and the air inlet 24 is connected to the air outlet of the air pump 31. Both of the above pumping methods have a problem: as the liquid in the storage bottle 22 decreases, different directions of holding or using the hair comb may prevent the liquid from being drawn into the infusion pump 34 or water pump 53, thus affecting the uniformity of the nutrient solution spraying. The third method solves this problem. The nutrient solution is contained in the cavity between the piston 25 and the outlet 23. The air generated by the air pump 31 pushes the piston 25 towards the outlet 23, thereby pushing the nutrient solution into the infusion tube 35. This infusion method is not affected by the direction of holding the hair comb, ensuring uniform liquid dispensing.

The liquid guide channel 45 is a groove structure arranged on the top surface of the liquid guide seat 42, the sealing plate 46 is made of rubber or silicone, and when the liquid guide seat 42 is installed, the sealing plate 46 is tightly pressed between the liquid guide seat 42 and the shell 1 to seal the top surface of the liquid guide channel 45, so that it becomes a sealed water channel. During the hair care or cleaning process, the liquid first enters the liquid guide hole 47 from the liquid delivery pipe 35, then enters the liquid guide channel 45, and finally sprays out from the liquid guide comb tooth 44. In order to increase the spraying range of the nutrient solution, a plurality of liquid guide comb teeth 44 can be arranged at the bottom of the liquid guide seat 42, and all the liquid guide comb teeth 44 are arranged on the path of the liquid guide channel 45. By arranging the liquid guide comb tooth 44 in the middle and surrounding a circle of soft teeth 43, the nutrient solution can be uniformly sprayed during the process of combing the hair, and the hair care effect is improved.
