Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to curling irons, and more particularly to an automatic curling iron. Background Technology
[0002] As people's demands for refined hairstyles increase, curling irons and straighteners are both beauty tools used to change the shape of hair. Curling irons heat the shaft, wrapping hair around it, using heat to restructure the hair's fiber structure and create curls. Straighteners use heated metal plates to clamp and straighten hair; the heat also restructures the hair's fiber structure, but the goal is to make the hair smooth and straight. Often, people change their hairstyles for aesthetic reasons, requiring different products for straight and curly hair, which is costly and inconvenient to carry. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic curling iron that simultaneously achieves both curling and straightening effects.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] An automatic curling iron includes a heated hair clamping part 1, a rotating part 2, and hair clippers 4. The heated hair clamping part 1 is located at one end of the handle 3. The heated hair clamping part 1 includes a first clamping plate 11 and a second clamping plate 12. The bottom surfaces of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are flat (the opposite surfaces of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are flat), and the side surfaces are curved. The first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are connected to a heating element. The feeding end of the first clamping plate 11 is provided with a first guide 8, and the feeding end of the second clamping plate 12 is provided with a second guide 9. There is a converging feeding gap between the first guide 8 and the second guide 9, which facilitates the entry of hair between the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12. The first guide 8 and the second guide 9 are made of anti-scalding material, which allows the user to manually apply force to the second clamping plate 12, increasing the clamping force of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 on the hair and effectively improving the straightening effect. The handle 3 has a connecting assembly 10, which includes a first connecting member 101 and a second connecting member 102. The first connecting member 101 is connected to a first clamping plate 11, and the second connecting member 102 is connected to a second clamping plate 12. The first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are respectively engaged with the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102. The first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 are hinged together. The second connecting member 102 includes a connecting part connected to the second clamping plate 12 and a mounting part. The mounting part has a positioning slot, which cooperates with the positioning post of the handle for positioning, so that the second connecting member is fixedly installed in the handle. A pin mounting channel is formed between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102, and the pin is installed in the pin mounting channel. Within the mounting channel, the first connector 101 serves as a movable end, enabling the opening and closing of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12. Additionally, a spring between the first and second connectors drives them to open relative to each other. The lower end of the first connector 101 has a first groove, and the second connector has a corresponding second groove. The first and second grooves cooperate to form a cavity for the spring. Without external force, the spring keeps the first and second clamping plates open. Under external force (e.g., during curling, the spring restricts the movement through the inner cavity of the hair clipper, or when a straightening effect is desired, manually holding the first guide 8 and the second guide 9 to bring them closer together), the spring is compressed, and the first and second clamping plates remain closed. The handle 3 has a power-operated control panel, which is fixedly connected to the handle and electrically connected to the heating element. The control panel includes a circuit board 15, a temperature adjustment button or knob, etc., allowing temperature adjustment as needed. The first and second clamping plates 11 and 12 can be made of metal, ceramic, etc., providing fast and uniform heating. The hair is inserted between the first clamp 11 and the second clamp 12, clamping and straightening the hair to achieve a straight hair effect.A rotating part 2 is disposed on the outer periphery of the heated hair-clamping part 1. The middle portion of the rotating part 2 has a space for the heated hair-clamping part 1 to pass through. The rotating part 2 is mounted on a handle 3 and is connected to a driving component that drives its rotation. The driving component is located inside the handle 3 and includes a drive gear 13 and a motor. A circuit board 15 is electrically connected to the motor. A driven gear 14 is disposed at the bottom of the rotating part 2, and the drive gear 13 meshes with the driven gear 14. The motor drives the drive gear 13 to rotate the rotating part 2. A hair-cutting claw 4 is disposed on the rotating part 2 and is connected to the rotating part 2 via a snap-fit assembly. Both are provided with a positioning and insertion assembly. The positioning and insertion assembly includes a positioning pin 6 and a positioning groove 7, which are respectively disposed on the hair clipper claw 4 and the rotating part 2. The positioning pin 6 and the positioning groove 7 cooperate to position the hair clipper claw 4. The positions of the positioning pin 6 and the positioning groove 7 can be interchanged. Preferably, the positioning pin 6 is disposed inside the hair clipper claw 4, and the positioning groove 7 is disposed on the rotating part 2. The positioning groove 7 and the positioning pin 6 cooperate to position the hair clipper claw 4, preventing the hair clipper claw 4 from rotating on its own when the rotating part 2 drives the hair clipper claw 4 to rotate, thus ensuring stable operation of the equipment. The snap-fit assembly includes a snap-fit protrusion 51 and a mating part 52. The snap-fit protrusion 51 is disposed on the rotating part 2, and the mating part 52 is disposed on the hair clipper claw 4. The snap-fit protrusion and the mating part 52 cooperate to fix the hair clipper claw 4 on the rotating part 2.
[0030] The curling iron has two states. In the first state, the hair clipper 4 is separated from the rotating part 2, and the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 cooperate to straighten the hair. In the second state, the hair clipper 4 is connected to the rotating part 2, and the driving component drives the hair clipper 4 to cooperate with the heated hair clamping part 1 to curl the hair.
[0031] The positioning groove 7 surrounds the outer periphery of the buckle protrusion 51, and the positioning pin 6 is embedded in the positioning groove 7 to position the hair clipper claw 4. This allows for quick alignment of the buckle protrusion 51 with the mating component 52 and prevents the hair clipper claw 4 from rotating. The structure is reasonable, and the buckle assembly and positioning insertion assembly are in several sets, evenly distributed between the hair clipper claw 4 and the rotating part 2. Multiple sets of positioning further ensure that the hair clipper claw 4 is locked onto the rotating part 2.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: When a curling effect is desired, the cooperating component 52 and the buckle protrusion 51 work together to lock the hair clipper 4 onto the rotating part 2, that is, the hair clipper 4 is set on the handle 3, and the positioning pin 6 and the positioning groove 7 work together to position the hair clipper 4 on the rotating part 2. The hair enters between the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 through the first guide 8 and the second guide 9. The clamping plates clamp the hair, and the hair clipper 4 rotates to make the hair wrap around the outer periphery of the heated hair clamping part 1. The heated first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 cause the hair to curl.
[0033] When a straight hair effect is desired, the hair clipper 4 is removed from the rotating part 2, and the hair enters between the first clamp 11 and the second clamp 12 through the first guide 8 and the second guide 9. The corresponding planes of the heated first clamp 11 and the second clamp 12 clamp and straighten the hair, ultimately forming a straight hair effect.
