It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a hot air hair straightener, including an upper housing 1, a lower housing 2, a heater 3, an upper clamping plate 41, a lower clamping plate 42, an air guide shroud 5, and a blower motor 6. The upper housing 1 is located above the lower housing 2. The upper housing 1 includes a first clamping part 11 and a first rotating handle part 12. The lower housing 2 includes a second clamping part 21 and a second rotating handle part 22. The first rotating handle part 12 and the second rotating handle part 22 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 121. The first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are provided with a first receiving cavity 100. The heater 3 is disposed in the first receiving cavity 100 and is used to generate heat. The upper clamping plate 41 is located on the lower end face of the first clamping part 11, and the lower clamping plate 42 is located on the upper end face of the second clamping part 21. A hair-clamping space is formed between the upper clamping plate 41 and the lower clamping plate 42. When the hair straightener is in use, the heater 3 can generate heat, which rapidly heats up the upper clamping plate 41 and the lower clamping plate 42. Through contact with the hair, the heat is transferred to the hair fibers, thereby changing the molecular structure of the keratin inside the hair and achieving the hair straightening effect. The first rotating part 12 and the second rotating part 22 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 121, which can realize the opening and closing function of the straightener plates, allowing the user to conveniently clamp the hair in the hair-clamping space between the upper clamping plate 41 and the lower clamping plate 42.

[0035] The second rotating handle 22 has a second accommodating cavity 220 inside, and the blower motors 6 are all disposed in the second accommodating cavity 220. The air outlet end of the blower motor 6 is arranged facing the hair clamping space. An air outlet channel 221 is provided on the outer wall of the second rotating handle 22, and an air inlet channel 110 is provided on the outer wall of the first clamping part 11. The air outlet channel 221 is used to guide the airflow generated by the blower motor 6 into the air inlet channel 110 when the upper clamping plate 41 and the lower clamping plate 42 are in the hair clamping state. An air guide hood 5 is provided around the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21. The air guide hood 5 has a U-shaped structure. The two side walls of the air guide hood 5 are respectively provided with a first air outlet 51, and the vertical wall edge of the air guide hood 5 is provided with a second air outlet 52. The first air outlet 51 and the second air outlet 52 are respectively connected to the first accommodating cavity 100 to discharge the hot airflow in the first accommodating cavity 100. During the hair straightening process, the airflow generated by the blower motor 6 can enter the first accommodating cavity 100 and combine with the heat generated by the heater 3 to form a hot airflow. The hot airflow can flow outward through the first air outlet 51 and the second air outlet 52, thereby achieving a uniform distribution of the hot airflow. In this way, the hot airflow can not only be concentrated in the hair clamping space to directly heat the hair, but also diffuse to the surrounding area outside the hair clamping space, thereby preheating the surrounding hair, reducing the need for multiple straightening operations in some areas and improving the hair straightening efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, it further includes a circuit board 7, which is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 220. The heater 3 and the blower motor 6 are electrically connected to the circuit board 7.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the system further includes a thermistor 81. The heater 3 is connected to the circuit board 7 via the thermistor 81, which is used to detect the temperature of the heater 3. After the heater 3 starts heating, the thermistor 81 can sense the temperature change of the heater 3 and feed the temperature signal back to the circuit board 7. Based on the temperature data transmitted by the thermistor 81, the circuit board 7 adjusts the heating power of the heater 3 through its internal control circuit, enabling the heater 3 to quickly reach the set temperature and operate continuously in a constant temperature state, avoiding local overheating caused by overheating.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the device further includes a fuse 82 connected to the heater 3. The fuse 82 is used to melt when the temperature of the heater 3 exceeds a threshold value to achieve overload protection. During use, when the heater 3 is in normal operation, the fuse 82 will not affect the circuit, and current can be smoothly supplied to the heater 3 through the fuse 82. When the temperature of the heater 3 continues to rise and exceeds the safety threshold, the fuse 82 will quickly melt due to the excessive temperature, thereby cutting off the circuit and stopping the heater 3 from working, thus improving the safety of the hair straightener.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are detachably connected to the air guide cover 5. Positioning protrusions 101 are provided on the side walls of the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21, and positioning grooves 50 that engage with the positioning protrusions 101 are provided on the side walls of the air guide cover 5. This arrangement allows the user to disassemble, clean, or replace the air guide cover 5, thereby removing dust and impurities accumulated during long-term use, maintaining smooth airflow inside the device, and extending the service life of the hair straightener.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, further, a button assembly 9 is provided on the side wall of the lower housing 2. The button assembly 9 is connected to the circuit board 7. The button assembly 9 is used to control the heating mode of the hair straightener, so that the user can select a suitable heating mode according to the characteristics of their own hair. For example, the low temperature mode is suitable for fine and soft hair, and the high temperature mode is suitable for coarse and hard hair, thereby minimizing damage to the hair while ensuring the styling effect.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom surface of the first rotating handle 12 is provided with a positioning insert 122, and the top surface of the second rotating handle 22 is provided with a positioning slot 222 for the positioning insert 122 to extend into. When the user closes the hair straightener to clamp the hair, the positioning insert 122 can be embedded into the positioning slot 222, thereby preventing the upper shell 1 or the lower shell 2 from being misaligned during the hair clamping process.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the first rotating handle 12 is further provided with a cable harness plate 102 inside. The cable harness plate 102 is used to fix the cable connected to the heater 3. Since the first rotating handle 12 is connected to the second rotating handle 22 through the rotating shaft 121, it has a certain range of opening and closing. The cable is easily worn or squeezed due to frequent bending or movement during the opening and closing process, which affects the stability of the circuit. By setting the cable harness plate 102, the position of the cable can be effectively fixed, avoiding the internal wire harness from being pulled, thereby extending the service life of the cable.

[0043] Furthermore, both the upper clamping plate 41 and the lower clamping plate 42 are made of aluminum alloy.

[0044] Furthermore, the surfaces of the upper clamping plate 41 and the lower clamping plate 42 are coated with a ceramic coating. The ceramic coating not only has excellent thermal conductivity, but also has a smooth surface and a low coefficient of friction. When it comes into contact with hair, it can increase the smoothness and shine of the hair, thereby enhancing the styling effect.

[0045] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
