[0025] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings:

[0026] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, an air outlet reversing mechanism of a straightening comb, comprising a comb head body 1, the comb head body 1 is equipped with air inlet end 2 and air outlet end 3, the comb head body 1 is equipped with air outlet cavity 110, air inlet end 2 is equipped with the air inlet 21 that communicates with air outlet cavity 110, air outlet end 3 is equipped with at least two air outlet air ducts 31 that can communicate with air outlet cavity 110, air outlet end 3 is also movably connected with valve block 4, the valve block 4 is connected with movable comb tooth 41 that can be pulled by hair when combing hair and drive valve block 4 to block one of air outlet air duct 31 and open the rest air outlet air duct 31. Wherein, air inlet end 2 is equipped with the plug-in head 20 that can be inserted with handle, the plug-in head 20 is equipped with the clamping block that can be buckled with handle.

[0027] The present case can automatically adjust the opening of the corresponding air outlet air duct 31 according to the direction of combing hair through the linkage mechanism of the movable comb teeth 41 and the valve block 4, which makes the airflow direction consistent with the combing action at all times, improves the use efficiency of airflow, and reduces unnecessary pulling of hair; dynamically adjusting the air outlet air duct 31 can avoid hair damage caused by fixed airflow, reduce the risk of breaking and branching; users do not need to frequently adjust the angle or position of the straightening comb to adapt to the fixed airflow direction, the entire combing process is more natural and smooth, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of use; the design of the movable comb teeth 41 can change position during the combing process as the hair moves, effectively preventing hair from being sucked into the air outlet air duct 31, thereby reducing the possibility of hair entanglement and knotting; simplifying complex airflow control, users can enjoy optimized airflow management without additional operations, making the straightening comb easier to use.

[0028] In an embodiment, a plurality of fixed comb teeth 5 are also connected to the air outlet end 3, which surrounds the movable comb teeth 41 and the air outlet air duct 31. The presence of the fixed comb teeth 5 can prevent excessive concentration of hair on the movable comb teeth 41, reducing hair damage caused by excessive pulling in a single area. At the same time, the presence of the fixed comb teeth 5 makes the user feel more stable and smooth during use, reducing the feeling of jamming during combing. In addition, the fixed comb teeth 5 can also provide better grip and control for the user.

[0029] In an embodiment, the number of air outlet air ducts 31 is two, namely the left air duct 311 located on the left part of the air outlet end 3 and the right air duct 312 located on the right part of the air outlet end 3. When the straightening comb combs hair to the left, the hair pulls the movable comb teeth 41 to move to the right, thereby blocking the right air duct 312 and opening the left air duct 311, so that the air outlet direction is always consistent with the combing action, improving the use efficiency of airflow; when the straightening comb combs hair to the right, the hair pulls the movable comb teeth 41 to move to the left, thereby blocking the left air duct 311 and opening the right air duct 312, so that the air outlet direction is always consistent with the combing action, improving the use efficiency of airflow.

[0030] Further, the air outlet end 3 is provided with a wind distribution cover 6, and the left air duct 311 and the right air duct 312 are arranged on the wind distribution cover 6. The air outlet end 3 is also provided with a limiting seat 7 capable of limiting the movement of the valve block 4. A gap 71 capable of sliding the valve block 4 is arranged between the limiting seat 7 and the wind distribution cover 6. The limiting seat 7 is provided with a limiting hole 72 for the movable comb teeth 41 to extend out. The limiting seat 7 can play a guiding role for the valve block 4.

[0031] Further, a retaining structure is provided between the limit seat 7 and the valve block 4 to keep the valve block 4 open to the left air duct 311 or the right air duct 312. The retaining structure ensures that the valve block 4 can be stably kept in a position after switching to a certain air outlet, avoiding accidental switching caused by slight vibration or external force. This ensures the stability of the air outlet direction, improving the efficiency and effect of the combing process. Through the retaining structure, the valve block 4 can be locked in a position under certain combing working conditions, reducing mechanical wear and hair entanglement caused by frequent switching.

[0032] Specifically, the retaining structure includes a first magnetic member 42 provided on the valve block 4, and a second magnetic member 43 provided on the left and right hole walls of the limit hole 72, respectively, which can be magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member 42. Among them, the first magnetic member 42 can be a magnet or a ferromagnetic material; when the first magnetic member 42 is a magnet, the second magnetic member 43 can be a magnet or a ferromagnetic material; when the first magnetic member 42 is a ferromagnetic material, the second magnetic member 43 can be a magnet.

[0033] In an embodiment, the valve block 4 is provided with a first embedding groove capable of embedding the first magnetic member 42, and the first magnetic member 42 is embedded in the first embedding groove. Of course, the first magnetic member 42 can also be connected to the valve block 4 by other connection methods such as glue or threaded fasteners. The limit seat 7 is provided with a second embedding groove capable of embedding the second magnetic member 43, and the second magnetic member 43 is embedded in the second embedding groove. Of course, the second magnetic member 43 can also be connected to the limit seat 7 by other connection methods such as glue or threaded fasteners.

[0034] In an embodiment, the left side of the limit seat 7 is provided with a first inclined surface 73 capable of making the air blown out by the left air duct 311 blow to the left, and the right side of the limit seat 7 is provided with a second inclined surface 74 capable of making the air blown out by the right air duct 312 blow to the right. The air blown out by the inclined surface is more consistent with the combing direction, reducing the conflict between the air outlet and the combing action, so that the air flow can more effectively act on the hair, accelerating the drying speed and improving the fineness of the styling. The air flow adjusted by the inclined surface can more gently contact the hair during the combing process, reducing the pulling and damage caused by direct blowing, protecting the health of the hair. Users can feel more natural and smooth air flow when using, reducing the inconvenience caused by inconsistent air flow direction, improving the overall comfort and satisfaction of use.

[0035] Further, the first inclined surface 73 and the second inclined surface 74 are provided with grooves 70 capable of dispersing the airflow, which can effectively disperse the concentrated airflow blown from the air duct, making it more evenly distributed on the hair. This helps to avoid local overheating or excessive concentration of airflow causing damage to the hair, while improving the uniformity of drying and styling. The dispersed airflow can more gently contact the hair, reducing the risk of pulling and breaking caused by direct blowing, protecting the health of the hair. In addition, the evenly distributed airflow helps to maintain the moisture balance of the hair, reduces the phenomenon of frizz, and enhances the hair care effect.

[0036] In an embodiment, the comb body 1 includes a comb seat 11, a shell 12 sleeved outside the comb seat 11, and a comb tooth seat 13 connected to the shell 12. The shell 12 is provided with a relief hole for the air distribution cover 6 to pass through. The modular design allows each part to be manufactured and tested independently, reducing production difficulty and cost. At the same time, it is also convenient for subsequent assembly and maintenance, improving the overall production efficiency. Among them, the comb seat 11, the shell 12 and the comb tooth seat 13 are fixed by threaded fasteners or other connecting structures, and the comb tooth seat 13 can press the air distribution cover 6 tightly on the comb seat 11. The comb seat 11 is provided with a slot 111, and the air distribution cover 6 is provided with a pin 61 capable of being inserted into the slot 111.

[0037] Further, the limiting seat 7 is connected to the comb tooth seat 13, the comb tooth seat 13 is provided with a left air outlet 131 communicating with the left air duct 311 and a right air outlet 132 communicating with the right air duct 312, and the fixed comb tooth 5 includes an inner ring comb tooth 51 provided on the limiting seat 7 and an outer ring comb tooth 52 provided on the comb tooth seat 13, the inner ring comb tooth 51 surrounds the limiting hole 72, and the outer ring comb tooth 52 surrounds the limiting seat 7. The double structure of the inner ring comb tooth 51 and the outer ring comb tooth 52 can provide more uniform force distribution during combing, helping to better separate the hair, so that the airflow can act more evenly on each hair, improving the combing efficiency. The double-layer comb tooth design can prevent the hair from being excessively concentrated in a certain area, reducing the damage to the hair caused by excessive pulling in a single area. At the same time, they can also play a role in guiding the airflow, ensuring that the airflow does not directly impact the scalp, avoiding possible heat damage.

[0038] In an embodiment, the present case also provides a straightening comb provided with the above-mentioned air outlet reversing mechanism.
