[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, they pay more attention to their image, especially women who love beauty. They style their hair in various ways to create a fashion trend. As a hair styling tool, curling irons can be used to curl hair into various curly hairstyles that are full of fashion sense, and therefore are loved by many users.

[0003] Curling irons of different sizes can create different curling styles. To meet users' diverse styling needs, curling irons on the market now allow for various curling styles by changing the curling head on the fixed handle. However, these curling irons have many components, making them inconvenient to carry, and changing the curling head is not convenient and time-consuming. The user experience is not good, and frequent replacement of the curling head reduces the lifespan of the curling iron.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a curling iron that is easy to carry, has a long service life, and can achieve multiple curling effects at the same time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retractable curling iron to solve the problems of existing curling irons with multiple curling effects being inconvenient to carry and having a short service life.

[0006] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, this utility model provides a retractable curling iron, including a handle and a first tube. The first tube is fixed to one end of the handle. The retractable curling iron also includes a second tube, which can retract and extend along the extension direction of the first tube. An elastic element is provided inside the first tube, with the first end of the elastic element fixed inside the first tube and the second end of the elastic element fixed inside the second tube. A heating element is provided inside both the first tube and the second tube.

[0007] As can be seen from the above solution, in this utility model of a curling iron, the second tube can extend or retract within the first tube. The two tubes have different diameters. When the second tube is retracted into the first tube, the user can use the first tube to curl hair, creating larger curls; when the second tube extends out of the first tube, the user can use the second tube to curl hair, creating smaller curls. Heating elements are respectively provided in the first and second tubes, and the two heating elements do not interfere with each other, thus ensuring a good curling effect. The elastic element makes the extension of the second tube smoother, ensuring the stability of the second tube during use and preventing movement of the second tube from affecting the effect. When the curling iron is not in use, the second tube can be retracted into the first tube. This retractable curling iron is easy to carry, has a long service life, and can achieve multiple curling effects simultaneously.

[0008] A further embodiment is that a fixing plate is provided inside the first tube, and the first end of the elastic element is fixed to the side of the fixing plate facing the second tube; the second tube includes a second tube fixing sleeve, one end of the second tube fixing sleeve extends into the first tube, and the second end of the elastic element is fixed to the end of the second tube fixing sleeve facing the fixing plate.

[0009] As can be seen from the above scheme, the setting of the second tube fixing sleeve ensures the stability of the connection between the first tube and the second tube, and avoids the second tube extending out of the first tube and affecting the use; the cooperation between the fixing plate and the second tube fixing sleeve ensures the stability of the elastic element.

[0011] As can be seen from the above scheme, when the blocking member enters the notch, the second tube is fixed inside the first tube. When the blocking member leaves the notch, it no longer restricts the movement of the second tube, and under the action of the elastic member, the second tube can smoothly and quickly extend out of the first tube. By setting the blocking member, the second tube can be retracted into the first tube without affecting the appearance of the curling iron, thus ensuring the service life of the curling iron.

[0012] A further option is to provide a slide rail on the inner wall of the first tube, the slide rail extending along the extension direction of the first tube, and to provide a ball bearing outside the fixing sleeve of the second tube, the ball bearing being located inside the slide rail and able to move along the slide rail.

[0013] As can be seen from the above scheme, the arrangement of slides and balls ensures the stability of the movement of the second tube and limits the retraction position of the second tube.

[0014] A further embodiment is that the first tube body also includes a first outer shell and a first inner shell, the other end of the first tube body fixing sleeve extends into the first outer shell, the first inner shell is disposed inside the first outer shell, and a first heating element is disposed between the first outer shell and the first inner shell.

[0015] As can be seen from the above scheme, the first heating element is disposed between the first outer shell and the first inner shell. The first heating element will not affect the movement of the second tube, while ensuring the heating effect of the first tube.

[0016] A further option is that the second tube also includes a second outer shell, with the other end of the second tube fixing sleeve extending into the second outer shell.

[0017] As can be seen from the above scheme, the matching arrangement of the second outer shell and the second tube fixing sleeve ensures the stability of the second tube installation.

[0018] A further option is that the second tube also includes a second heating element, which is disposed inside the second outer casing.

[0019] As can be seen from the above scheme, the setting of the second heating element ensures the stability of the heating effect of the second tube.

[0020] A further option is to provide a protective head at the end of the second outer shell that is away from the first tube.

[0021] As can be seen from the above solutions, the protective head design makes the curling iron more aesthetically pleasing.

[0022] A further solution is to connect the protective head to the second housing using screws.

[0023] As can be seen from the above solutions, the screw connection method is simple and has good stability.

[0024] A further design involves adding push buttons, knobs, and indicator lights to the handle.

[0025] As can be seen from the above design, the handle is equipped with push and knobs to control the heating effect of the tube, and the indicator light shows the working status of the curling iron, making the user experience better. Attached Figure Description
