[0048] In this embodiment 3,

[0049] As Figures 1 to 6 The working principle of the utility model is shown as follows:

[0050] The wind channel converter 1 includes a wind cylinder body 2, a wind cylinder liner 3, an air port valve 4 and a switching pull 5. The wind cylinder liner 3 can move in the wind cylinder body 2, the air port valve 4 is arranged at both ends of the wind cylinder liner 3, and the switching pull 5 is used to pull the wind cylinder liner 3 to slide.

[0051] When the user has the wind gathering air outlet demand, the wind cylinder liner 3 will move along a specific trajectory limit in the wind cylinder body 2 by pulling the switching pull 5, and at this time, the wind cylinder liner 3 is separated from the air port valve 4. This separation state makes the second air channel closed, and the airflow cannot pass through the second air channel, but can only flow along the first air channel, and finally blows out from the wind gathering outlet 6 connected with the first air channel, forming a wind gathering air outlet state. In this state, since the airflow is concentrated through the wind gathering outlet 6, a higher wind speed can be generated, meeting the demand for concentrated wind force for rapid hair drying or precise styling.

[0052] When the user needs to air out, the switching pull 5 is operated again, driving the wind cylinder liner 3 to move in the opposite direction until the wind cylinder liner 3 abuts against the air port valve 4. At this time, the first air channel is closed, the airflow is blocked and cannot pass through the first air channel, but flows along the second air channel, and blows out from the air outlet 7 connected with the second air channel, forming an air distribution air outlet state. The design of the two ends of the wind cylinder body 2, the air inlet end 8 is used to arrange the air port valve 4, and the switching end 9 is used to arrange the switching pull 5, facilitating user operation.

[0053] In this embodiment 3,

[0054] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the air outlet 7 is set in a constricted shape along the side of the air inlet 8 near the inner liner 3 of the air duct, while the air inlet 11 is set in a funnel shape along the air outlet 7. This improves the stability and accuracy of the airflow direction switching, and also optimizes the air gathering and dispersing effect, making the blown air more uniform and gentle.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the structural design of the inner liner 3 of the air duct includes an air inlet 11 arranged along the air outlet valve 4 to draw in airflow, and an air concentrator 12 arranged along the air concentrator outlet 6 to guide the airflow towards the air concentrator outlet 6 in the air concentrator outlet state. The connecting rod 13 is connected to the switching torque 5 to pull the inner liner 3. The air duct body 2 is provided with a guide groove 14 along the inner liner 3, and the inner liner 3 is provided with guide strips 15 along the guide groove 14. This structure ensures the stability and accuracy of the movement of the inner liner 3 within the air duct body 2, preventing deviation during movement. Several limiting grooves 16 arranged along the air outlet valve 4 in the air inlet end 8 serve to fix the air outlet valve 4, ensuring that the air outlet valve 4 remains stable during air duct switching and does not shift. In addition, several first air guide plates 17 arranged along the first air duct inside the inner liner 3 can effectively guide the airflow to the central area in the air concentrator outlet state, further improving the air concentrator effect, making the airflow more concentrated and the wind speed higher. The second air guide plates 18 arranged along the second air duct on the duct body 2 can evenly disperse the concentrated airflow to the air outlet 7 in the air dispersal and air outlet state, increasing the coverage area in the air dispersal and air outlet state, and making the blown air more uniform and gentle.
