Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cyclone-type hair curler, and more specifically, to a cyclone-type thermoforming structure attached to a hot air blower, providing a new type of hair curling process that differs from the traditional forced curling + thermoforming method. Background Technology
[0002] Curling is an important demand in hairdressing. Traditionally, there are two main techniques for curling hair: one is performed by professional hairdressers in professional settings, using equipment and materials such as professional hair rollers, curling cream, and heated setting covers. This is usually done in conjunction with regular haircuts and is less popular among men, with women being the primary consumers. The other technique involves individuals doing it at home, typically using simple tools such as heated curling combs, and is also mainly done by women.
[0003] Women's haircutting cycles are generally much longer than men's, occurring every quarter, half a year, or even a year. Although professionally styled curls can last longer, typically over a month, towards the end of the haircutting cycle, the curls are either abandoned or the woman resorts to home styling for an extended period. Therefore, the demand for at-home DIY curling services is quite strong.
[0004] In traditional home curling techniques, heated curling combs are the mainstream method. Because the diameter of the curling comb is fixed, and its structure dictates that curling begins at the ends (the inner layer of the comb) and ends at the roots (the outer layer), the curling effect is better on the inner layers, followed by the outer layers. Therefore, the curling effect achieved with a curling comb is: larger curls at the roots result in a poorer curl, while smaller curls at the ends result in a better curl.
[0005] Clearly, traditional self-curling methods using curling combs primarily result in curls concentrated at the ends of the hair, offering a limited and monotonous effect.
[0006] Secondly, the structure of a curling comb means it cannot meet the need to curl specific areas between the ends and roots of the hair.
[0007] Furthermore, the operation of a curling comb involves curling a single strand of hair, heating and holding it, and uncurling. The process for a single strand is time-consuming, and it requires remaining still during the heating and holding phase, which can be tiring for the arms. Additionally, there is a risk of heat contact during the curling of the next strand of hair, as the curling comb is at a high temperature.
[0008] In summary, traditional home-use self-service hair curling equipment and techniques have drawbacks such as poor curling results and a poor user experience; professional hair curling requires several hours of dedicated time and is expensive. Summary of the Invention
[0009] This utility model addresses the limitations of traditional technologies in real life and market demands by providing a whirlwind-type hair curler to solve existing technical problems.
[0010] Based on practical needs, one or more embodiments of this specification provide a cyclone-type hair curler, which overcomes the limitations and defects of the current technology listed in the background section and provides a practical solution. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0011] The present invention provides a cyclone-type hair curler, which includes a hot air generating device and a cyclone curling part;
[0012] The hot air generating device is a hot air blower, and its air outlet is provided with a connection port that connects to the cyclone curling chamber;
[0013] The whirlwind curling section consists of a connector nozzle, a hot air guide section, and a whirlwind chamber, wherein:
[0014] The connector is used to connect with the air outlet of the hot air generator to guide hot air into the whirlwind curling section.
[0015] The hot air guiding section is a cylindrical to flattened air duct with a circular air inlet and a flat air outlet.
[0016] The cyclone chamber is a cylindrical structure, and its cylindrical wall is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the hot air guiding part. The flat direction of the air outlet of the hot air guiding part is basically parallel to the axis of the cyclone chamber, and the air outlet direction of the hot air guiding part is deviated from the axis of the cyclone chamber.
[0017] As a further technical solution, the connection port of the air outlet of the hot air blower and the connection nozzle of the cyclone curling part are provided with a structure for mutual fixed connection.
[0018] As a further technical solution, the mutually fixed and connected structure consists of a permanent magnet and a soft iron structure respectively fixed on the air outlet of the hot air blower and the connecting nozzle of the cyclone curling part.
[0019] As a further technical solution, the mutually fixed and mating structure is a bayonet connection structure that is respectively fixed on the air outlet of the hot air blower and the connecting nozzle of the cyclone curling part.
[0020] As a further technical solution, an air guide port is also provided on the cylinder wall of the cyclone chamber, close to the air outlet of the hot air guide section and near the axis of the cyclone chamber.
[0021] As a further technical solution, the cyclone chamber has openings at both ends and is equipped with a detachable end cap, which can be freely installed on any section of the cyclone chamber to close the opening at that end.
[0022] As a further technical solution, the cyclone chamber has an open end and a fixed closed end.
[0023] As a further technical solution, the cyclone chamber has openings at both ends, and the diameters of the openings at the two ends are different.
[0024] As a further technical solution, the hot air guide section is fixedly connected to the cyclone chamber in a non-orthogonal direction, or is movable and adjustable in angle. That is, the angle between the air outlet direction of the hot air guide section and the axial direction of the cyclone chamber is fixedly non-right angle, or movable and adjustable.
[0025] As a further technical solution, the cyclone chamber is made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the curling effect during the curling process.
[0026] In summary, the advantages of implementing this utility model are as follows:
[0027] 1. A simple and low-cost structure is used to add a hot curling function to a hot air blower;
[0028] 2. The hot cyclone curling process upgrades the traditional curling + hot shaping process, simplifying the curling process and shortening the curling time;
[0029] 3. While the cyclone curls the hair, the airflow can also dry the hair, allowing drying and curling to be done simultaneously, which saves both time and energy.
[0030] 4. Compared to the forced shaping process of traditional curling combs, the whirlwind curling process allows the hair strands to remain free during operation, resulting in a more natural and beautiful curl. Attached Figure Description
[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the accompanying drawings:
[0032] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cyclone curling section of a magnetic docking cyclone curling iron;
[0033] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The corresponding top view;
[0034] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the angle between the hot air guide section and the cyclone chamber in the cyclone curling section. Detailed Implementation
[0035] Example 1 – Magnetic Connecting Cyclone Hair Curler
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the magnetic docking type cyclone curling iron consists of a hot air blower (not shown) and a cyclone curling part, wherein the cyclone curling part includes a cyclone curling head 1 and an end cap 2, etc.
[0037] The cyclone curling head 1 includes a connector nozzle 11, a hot air guide section 12, a cyclone chamber 13, etc.
[0038] The connector 11 is equipped with a magnetic element 14, an air inlet channel 15, a central air guide head 16, and a fixing rib 17, etc.
[0039] The hot air guide section 12 has a structure where the inner cavity gradually changes from a cylindrical shape to a flat shape. One end of the cylindrical inner cavity connects to the connecting nozzle 11, and the other end of the flat shape connects to the cyclone chamber 13. Furthermore, the extension line of the flat shape deviates from the axis of the cyclone chamber 13 (e.g., Figure 2 );
[0040] The cyclone chamber 13 has a cylindrical structure with openings 18 at both ends. On the cylindrical wall 10, close to the hot air guide section 12 and near the axis of the cyclone chamber 13, there is an air guide port 19.
[0041] End cap 2 is used to seal the openings 18 at both ends of the cyclone chamber 13. It consists of a cap 21 with anti-slip ridges and a cap core 22. The cap core 22 has external threads, and correspondingly, the openings 18 at both ends of the cyclone chamber 13 have internal threads. The two are screwed together.
[0042] During operation, screw end cap 2 onto the lower opening 18 of cyclone chamber 13, and magnetically attach the cyclone curling head 1 to the air outlet of the hot air blower (not shown). Insert a bundle of hair to be curled into cyclone chamber 13 through the upper opening 18, then turn on the hot air blower. The hot air blown out passes through connector 11 and hot air guide 12, forming a flat air jet that enters cyclone chamber 13. Because the flat air jet enters cyclone chamber 13 in a direction deviating from its axis (see...),... Figure 2 Therefore, under the constraint of the cylindrical wall 10, the hot air travels along the inside of the cylindrical wall 10 in the cyclone chamber 13. After rotating more than half a turn, a part of it is blown out from the air guide 19, so that the hot air in the cyclone chamber 13 forms a rotating path. The other part is blown out from the upper opening 18 of the cyclone chamber 13, driving the hot air in the cyclone chamber 13 to rise in a spiral.
[0043] During this process, the spiraling hot air rolls the hair bundle that has entered the cyclone chamber 13, causing it to curl and be heated. After a period of time, it is shaped into a hair curl, completing the curling process for the hair bundle.
[0044] Turn off the hot air blower, pull the curled hair strand out from the upper opening 18 of the cyclone chamber 13, and insert the next strand of hair into the cyclone chamber 13, completing the hot curling of all the hair strands one by one.
[0045] During the curling process, the hair strands are relatively free as they are swirled by the airflow in the cyclone chamber 13. Compared to traditional curling combs, this device does not require strict arm fixation, making the operation process easy.
[0046] The advantages of implementing this embodiment are:
[0047] 1. Compared to traditional curling combs with a complete set of functions, this embodiment only adds a simple accessory (cyclone curling part) to the hot air blower, which is simple in structure, low in cost and long in service life.
[0048] 2. Compared to the curling, heating, and uncurling process of traditional curling combs, this embodiment is simple and convenient to operate, and offers a better user experience;
[0049] 3. Compared to traditional curling combs, the styling process does not require fixing the arm, making it easier to operate;
[0050] 4. The hot air cyclone chamber 13 blows out from the upper opening 18 and can blow on other hair, that is, it can curl and dry hair at the same time, completing the drying and curling in one step, saving a lot of time and energy.
[0051] 5. Compared to the forced shaping process of traditional curling combs, the whirlwind curling process allows the hair strands to remain free during operation, resulting in a more natural and beautiful curl.
[0052] Example 2 – Other Examples
[0053] In another embodiment, based on embodiment 1, the end cap 2 is not provided, or the end cap 2 is not assembled. During operation, the hair strand passes through the two openings 18 at the upper and lower ends of the cyclone chamber 13, and the curling position of the hair strand can be selected, which is suitable for curling long hair, or for strengthening the curling at different positions of the hair strand, etc.
[0054] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 Based on Example 1, the included angle α between the hot air guiding section 12 and the cyclone chamber 13 is ≠ 90°. That is, the hot air guiding section 12 and the cyclone chamber 13 are fixedly connected at an angle, or are movable and adjustable at an angle, so that the hot air entering from the connecting nozzle 11 is guided by the hot air guiding section 12 to form a flat air jet, which then enters the cyclone chamber 13 at an angle, constituting another spiral air formation mechanism. In this embodiment, the air guide 19 can be omitted, or it can be blocked during use, thereby reducing the loss of hot air from the air guide 19, improving the utilization rate of hot air, shortening the molding time, and saving time and electricity.
[0055] In another embodiment, the cyclone chamber 13 is made of a transparent material, or the entire cyclone curling section is made of a transparent material, making it an observation window so as to observe the curling effect during the curling process, monitor the curling time in real time, and ensure the ideal curling effect.

In some cases, the structure described in the claims can be used to achieve the desired results according to the specific embodiments described above.
