[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a hair dryer outlet structure, including an upper shell 1, a lower shell 2, and an air diffuser 3. The upper shell 1 has a central area recessed to one side to form an air guide 11. The lower shell 2 is connected to the upper shell 1, and an axial airflow channel is formed between them. An air guide groove 21 is provided in the area of ​​the lower shell 2 opposite to the air guide 11. The end face of the air guide 11 away from the upper shell 1 is adapted to the air diffuser 3, allowing them to form a streamlined combination structure, which helps reduce wind resistance. At least a fan blade driven by a high-speed motor and a heating element are installed in the axial airflow channel. Furthermore, a negative ion generator can also be installed in the axial airflow channel, and an air inlet is provided at the end of the axial airflow channel. A filter or grille structure can be installed at the air inlet; a portion of the air expansion section 3 passes through the air guide groove 21 and connects to the air guide section 11, so that a longitudinal airflow channel connected to the axial airflow channel is formed between the air guide groove 21 and the air expansion section 3. An air outlet unit 31 connected to the longitudinal airflow channel is provided in the area of ​​the air expansion section 3 that does not pass through the air guide groove 21. During use, the high-speed motor drives the fan blades to generate airflow, which enters the air outlet structure of the hair dryer along the axial airflow channel. Under the guidance of the streamlined structure of the air expansion section 3, the airflow gradually changes from axial to longitudinal flow. Compared with ordinary hair dryers, it eliminates the "hammer head," making it a more convenient and comfortable straight-type hair dryer to hold.

[0029] Furthermore, the lower shell 2 is sandwiched between the upper shell 1 and the area of ​​the air expansion section 3 that does not pass through the air guide groove 21. A part of the air expansion section 3 passes through the air guide groove 21 and is connected to the air guide section 11 of the upper shell 1, while the other part of the area that does not pass through the air guide groove 21 is in contact with the lower shell 2. This way, the lower shell 2 is sandwiched between the area of ​​the air expansion section 3 that does not pass through the air guide groove 21 and the upper shell 1, which simplifies the connection between the upper shell 1, the lower shell 2 and the air expansion section 3, and is crucial for ensuring the sealing of the joints of the three.

[0030] Furthermore, a first sealing groove 12 for accommodating the first sealing ring is provided on the side end face of the upper shell 1 facing the lower shell 2. The first sealing ring is an elastic material, usually made of rubber or silicone, used to fill the tiny gap between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to prevent airflow leakage.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer edge of the first sealing groove 12 is provided with a plurality of first retaining edges 13, each of which is provided with a retaining groove 131. The outer edge of the lower shell 2 adjacent to the upper shell 1 is provided with a retaining block 22 corresponding to the first retaining edge 13, and the retaining block 22 is provided with a sloping surface on the side facing the first retaining edge 13. The outer edge of the lower shell 2 is provided with a protruding edge, and a corresponding clearance groove is provided at the position corresponding to the retaining block 22. The width of the clearance groove is the same as the width of the first retaining edge 13, which is used to guide the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 1 to be correctly aligned and fitted. During the alignment process, the first retaining edge 13 squeezes the sloping surface, causing the first retaining edge 13 to undergo great deformation until the first retaining edge 13 detaches from the sloping surface. When the retaining block 22 corresponds to the retaining groove 131, the retaining block 22 is embedded in the retaining groove 131, which can prevent the lower shell 2 from separating from the upper shell 1.

[0032] Furthermore, a second sealing groove 23 is provided on the end face of the lower shell 2 facing the area of ​​the air expansion section 3 that does not pass through the air guide groove 21, for accommodating the second sealing ring. The second sealing ring is an elastic material, usually made of rubber or silicone, used to fill the tiny gap between the lower shell 2 and the air expansion section 3 to prevent airflow leakage.

[0033] Furthermore, a second retaining edge 24 is provided on the outer edge of the second sealing groove 23. The inner diameter structure of the second retaining edge 24 is adapted to the area of ​​the air expansion section 3 that does not pass through the air guide groove 21. The second retaining edge 24 and the area of ​​the air expansion section 3 that does not pass through the air guide groove 21 are aligned and inserted to ensure that the two are correctly aligned and installed. Moreover, the tight fit between the second retaining edge 24 and the air expansion section 3 can enhance the sealing effect and prevent airflow from leaking from the gap between the air expansion section 3 and the lower shell 2.

[0034] Furthermore, the air guide section 11 has at least two cylindrical tubes 111 with internal threads in its middle part. The end face of the air expansion section 3 that is in contact with the air guide section 11 is provided with positioning holes 32 for bolts 33 to pass through. The threaded end of the bolts 33 is adapted to the internal thread structure of the cylindrical tubes 111. The air guide section 11 has two countersunk grooves on the side facing the air expansion section 3. The air expansion section 3 is provided with corresponding positioning posts corresponding to the countersunk grooves. Positioning holes 32 are provided on the positioning posts. During installation, the positioning posts are embedded in the countersunk grooves, which can realize the correct alignment and installation of the air guide section 11 and the air expansion section 3. After the bolts 33 are screwed through the positioning holes 32 and threadedly connected to the cylindrical tubes 111, the air guide section 11 and the air expansion section 3 can be assembled into a whole structure. The reverse operation can disassemble and repair the air expansion section 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper shell 1 has a gradually narrowing end along the airflow direction in the axial airflow channel, and the side of the upper shell 1 facing the lower shell 2 is provided with a wind groove that allows airflow to pass through. The depth of the wind groove gradually decreases along the airflow direction in the axial airflow channel, which helps to increase the air pressure in time after some airflow overflows, so as to maintain the uniformity of the airflow from the blower.

[0036] Furthermore, the area of ​​the air expansion section 3 passing through the air guide groove 21 gradually widens along the airflow direction in the longitudinal airflow channel. Analyzing the air expansion section 3 in the axial and longitudinal directions, in the axial direction, the air expansion section 3 gradually widens, which makes the gap between the air guide groove 21 and the air expansion section 3 gradually smaller. This helps to increase the air pressure in time after some airflow overflows, so as to maintain the uniformity of the air output of the hair dryer. In the longitudinal direction, the air expansion section 3 gradually widens, which makes the gap between the air guide groove 21 and the air expansion section 3 gradually smaller. This helps to increase the air pressure, so as to ensure that the hair dryer can output high-pressure air and improve the efficiency of drying hair.

[0037] Furthermore, the air outlet unit 31 is composed of multiple air outlets, and the air outlets are distributed at intervals around the area through which the air expansion section 3 passes through the air guide groove 21. The air expansion section 3 can guide the airflow from axial flow to longitudinal flow. At the same time, the longitudinally flowing airflow is dispersed into a ring shape. The densely arranged air outlets form a ring structure to guide the dispersed airflow out of the blower, reducing the energy loss of the airflow at the air outlet.

[0038] Optionally, the air outlet is designed in a strip or arc shape to maximize airflow within a limited area and reduce uneven airflow.

[0039] In addition, this utility model also provides a hair dryer, including the aforementioned hair dryer outlet structure.
