Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hair straightener technology, specifically a hair straightener with a steam jet mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A hair straightener is a styling tool that straightens hair by heating the plates. It uses high temperatures (usually adjustable from 130℃ to 230℃) to temporarily straighten frizzy, curly hair. Modern hair straighteners often use ceramic or titanium coatings to reduce heat damage, and some models also feature steam or ion functions to moisturize and care for the hair while straightening, making them suitable for all hair types. Their portable design makes them ideal for home or travel, quickly creating long-lasting, smooth hairstyles, making them a practical tool for everyday styling.
[0003] The prior art patent application number is 202021650676.2, entitled "An Atomizing Steam Straightener," which includes a fixed shaft. Multiple sets of clamps are arranged on the outer side of the fixed shaft. A heating plate is arranged at the end of the clamps away from the fixed shaft. Multiple sets of heating rods are arranged inside the heating plate. A connecting block is arranged at the middle position of the outer side of the heating rods. An atomizer is installed at the middle position inside the clamps. A delivery pipe is arranged on the outer side of the atomizer. Multiple sets of air outlet pipes extending to the bottom of the clamps are arranged on the outer side of the delivery pipe away from the atomizer. This invention allows for adjustment of the hair straightener via a control panel, with the controller controlling the atomizer and heating rod. The atomizer atomizes the water in the storage tank, which is then transported to the steam outlet via a delivery tank and finally discharged from the diffuser. By placing the diffuser between the heating plates, steam is blown vertically onto the hair, resulting in better hair protection. However, the water storage tank is not easy to disassemble and clean, and long-term use can easily lead to the growth of scale or residual impurities. Furthermore, the water storage tank lacks a reliable sealing mechanism, which may cause steam leakage or water seepage, affecting safety and convenience of use. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1: Please refer to again Figure 1-5This utility model provides a hair straightener with a steam jet mechanism, including a fixed shaft 100. Two clamping plates 110 are rotatably connected to one side of the fixed shaft 100. Two docking seats 120 are fixedly connected to both sides of the clamping plates 110. A compression spring 121 is embedded in the inner cavity of the docking seat 120. A compression plate 122 is fixedly connected to one end of the compression spring 121. Two limiting grooves 123 are formed in the inner wall of the docking seat 120. A through groove 124 is formed on one side of the docking seat 120. The clamping plates... A positioning groove 130 is provided on one side of 110. A water storage tank 140 is slidably connected to the inner side of the positioning groove 130. The water storage tank 140 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 200. Two mounting seats 150 are fixedly connected to both sides of the water storage tank 140. A rotating rod 160 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting seat 150. One end of the rotating rod 160 extends into the inner cavity of the docking seat 120, and two locking rods 161 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 160. The locking rods 161 are engaged with the limiting groove 123.
[0023] Specifically, when disassembling and cleaning the water storage tank 140, pressing down the rotating rod 160 causes it to compress the clamping plate 122, thus compressing and deforming the clamping spring 121. This causes the locking rod 161 on the rotating rod 160 to move out of the limiting groove 123. Then, rotating the rotating rod 160 causes the locking rod 161 to align with the position of the through groove 124. Finally, pulling up and rotating the rod causes the locking rod 161 to move out of the docking seat 120, thus disconnecting the water storage tank 140 from the clamping plate 110. The water storage tank 140 can then be disassembled. During installation, the locking rod 161 on the rotating rod 160 is aligned with the through groove 124 and inserted into the mating seat 120, so that the rotating rod 160 presses against the pressure plate 122, and the locking rod 161 on the rotating rod 160 is positioned below the limiting groove 123. Then, the rotating rod 160 is rotated so that the position of the locking rod 161 coincides with the position of the limiting groove 123. Then, the pressure on the rotating rod 160 is released, so that the compressed pressure spring 121 returns to its original position and extends to push the pressure plate 122 to move and press the rotating rod 160, so that the locking rod 161 is positioned in the limiting groove 123.
[0024] Example 2: Please refer to again Figure 1-5A connecting pipe 200 is provided above the clamping plate 110. A mating groove 210 is provided at one end of the connecting pipe 200. A mating ring 211 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mating groove 210. A tapered tube 220 is integrally formed on the inner side of the connecting pipe 200. Two sealing grooves 221 are provided on the outer side of the tapered tube 220. A sealing cap 230 is screwed to the outer side of the connecting pipe 200. Two sealing rings 231 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the sealing cap 230. The bottom ends of the two sealing rings 231 extend into the inner cavity of the mating groove 210 and fit with the mating ring 211. Two retaining rings 240 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the sealing cap 230 and engage with the sealing grooves 221. An extending protruding ring 250 is integrally formed at the bottom of the sealing cap 230. The outer side of the extending protruding ring 250 fits with the tapered tube 220.
[0025] Specifically, by screwing the sealing cap 230 and the connecting pipe 200 together, the sealing ring 231 on the sealing cap 230 extends into the mating groove 210 inside the connecting pipe 200 after tightening. At the same time, the sealing ring 231 will also fit tightly with the mating ring 211 in the mating groove 210 to form multiple sealing partitions. After tightening, the retaining ring 240 on the sealing cap 230 will also enter the sealing groove 221 on the tapered pipe 220, so that the retaining ring 240 cooperates with the sealing groove 221 to form multiple sealing partitions. The extended protruding ring 250 on the sealing cap 230 will also fit against the inner side of the tapered pipe 220 to seal the gaps on the inner side of the tapered pipe 220.
[0026] Working principle: When disassembling and cleaning the water storage tank 140, pressing down the rotating rod 160 causes it to squeeze the clamping plate 122, compressing the clamping spring 121 and causing the locking rod 161 on the rotating rod 160 to move out of the limiting groove 123. Then, rotating the rotating rod 160 makes the position of the locking rod 161 coincide with the position of the through groove 124. Then, pulling up and rotating the rod makes the locking rod 161 move out of the docking seat 120, thus disconnecting the water storage tank 140 from the clamping plate 110. The water storage tank 140 can then be disassembled. During installation, the locking rod 161 on the rotating rod 160 is aligned with the through groove 124 and inserted into the mating seat 120, so that the rotating rod 160 presses against the pressure plate 122, and the locking rod 161 on the rotating rod 160 is placed below the limiting groove 123. Then, the rotating rod 160 is rotated so that the position of the locking rod 161 coincides with the position of the limiting groove 123. Then, the pressure on the rotating rod 160 is released, so that the compressed pressure spring 121 is reset and extended to push the pressure plate 122 to move and press the rotating rod 160, so that the locking rod 161 is placed in the limiting groove 123.
[0027] By screwing the sealing cap 230 and the connecting pipe 200 together, the sealing ring 231 on the sealing cap 230 extends into the mating groove 210 in the connecting pipe 200 after tightening. At the same time, the sealing ring 231 will also fit tightly with the mating ring 211 in the mating groove 210 to form multiple sealing partitions. After tightening, the retaining ring 240 on the sealing cap 230 will also enter the sealing groove 221 on the tapered pipe 220, so that the retaining ring 240 cooperates with the sealing groove 221 to form multiple sealing partitions. The extended protruding ring 250 on the sealing cap 230 will also fit against the inner side of the tapered pipe 220 to seal the gaps on the inner side of the tapered pipe 220.
