Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hair care tools, and in particular to a ventilation structure for hair care appliances, such as hair care combs. Background Technology

[0002] Hair care tools such as hair combs are widely used in the hair care industry. These tools typically have a nozzle (air nozzle) connected to the air outlet, primarily used for focusing and guiding airflow. The nozzle is roughly cylindrical in shape, hollow inside forming an air inlet channel and an air vent connected to the channel. The nozzle also has several air outlet holes connected to the air inlet channel. This traditional nozzle structure generally lacks a flow distribution mechanism; the airflow entering the air inlet channel is pushed forward, resulting in a smaller or even no airflow near the air vent, while the airflow further away is larger, causing uneven airflow. To address this, various ventilation structures have been designed to achieve more even airflow from these hair care tools. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN202310502726.4 discloses a uniformly guiding airflow comb structure. This structure uses multiple gradually changing guide vanes to divert the airflow entering the guiding channel as it passes through each vane, resulting in uniform airflow volume and velocity at each outlet. This solves the problem of low airflow near the inlet and high airflow further away in traditional designs. However, this solution is structurally complex, connecting the guide vanes into a single unit via a guide frame. This necessitates high precision in installation dimensions and poor tolerance. Furthermore, the connecting wings and guide frame do not separate adjacent outlet spaces within each section, causing internal airflow to cross-flow and affecting the uniformity of the airflow. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a ventilation structure for hair care devices that features a more rational structural design, lower assembly requirements, better tolerance, and more uniform airflow.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a ventilation structure for a hair care device, comprising a shell, an air guide, and a connector. The shell has a hollow structure forming multiple air outlets. The air guide is disposed in the shell, and the connector is connected to the tail end of the shell for connecting to the main body. The air guide includes at least two sections with a split structure, a front section being the front air guide and a rear section being the rear air guide. The front air guide is installed in the front section inside the shell, and the rear air guide is installed in the rear section inside the shell. The front and rear air guides are connected end to end, dividing the internal air duct of the shell into at least two sections. The outer wall of the front air guide is provided with... Several outwardly protruding isolation plates are provided, each of which is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the housing. The front section of the internal air duct of the housing is divided into several mutually isolated front air outlet channels by the outer wall of the main body of the front air guide, the inner wall of the housing, and the isolation plates. Several outwardly protruding isolation plates are provided on the outer wall of the rear air guide, each of which is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the housing. The rear section of the internal air duct of the housing is divided into several mutually isolated rear air outlet channels by the outer wall of the main body of the rear air guide, the inner wall of the housing, and the isolation plates. The rear air guide has a central channel that runs through the front and rear. Each front air outlet channel is connected to this central channel. The central channel and each rear air outlet channel are connected to the main body through connectors.

[0005] Furthermore, the air guide includes two parts, namely a front air guide and a rear air guide. The rear air guide has at least two plug-in parts at its front end, and the front air guide has pins that mate with the plug-in parts at its rear end. The front air guide and the rear air guide are connected and fixed by inserting the pins into the plug-in parts.

[0006] Furthermore, the housing includes an outer sleeve and an inner frame. The sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the inner frame, and the isolation plate of the front air guide and the partition plate of the rear air guide are respectively sealed and connected to the inner wall of the inner frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the front end of the front air guide is locked and fixed to the inner frame, the rear end of the inner frame is locked and fixed to the connector, and the rear air guide is inserted and fixed to the connector through its partition plate.

[0008] Furthermore, both the front and rear air guides have a structure that is wider at the front and narrower at the rear. The main body of the front air guide is a sealed structure, while the center of the main body of the rear air guide is a central channel that is wider at the front and narrower at the rear.

[0009] Furthermore, the plug portion is aligned with the isolation plate of the front air guide, and the plug pin is located at the tail end of the isolation plate opposite to the plug portion.

[0010] Preferably, the front air guide has 2-8 baffles, and the rear air guide has 2-8 baffles.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of partition plates on the front air guide is the same as the number of partition plates on the rear air guide, and they are aligned front to back.

[0012] Furthermore, an end cap is provided at the front end of the housing, and the end cap is fastened to the front air guide component by a snap fastener; a decorative cover is provided at the center of the front end of the end cap.

[0013] Furthermore, several insertion slots are provided at the tail of the connector, and the main body is inserted into the insertion slots through the insertion pins to form a detachable assembly structure with the connector.

[0014] This invention utilizes a segmented structure where the air guide components are independent of each other. The air duct is divided into at least two sections, front and rear, through a front-to-back assembly of each section. This achieves more uniform airflow while reducing the precision requirements for the air guide components' assembly. Even with significant dimensional differences, stable assembly is achieved, improving tolerance. Furthermore, the isolation plates and partitions of the front and rear air guide components are sealed and connected to the inner frame, separating adjacent air outlet channels without any connecting space. This prevents airflow from flowing between them, further enhancing the uniformity of airflow. Attached Figure Description
