Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hair styling equipment technology, and in particular to a multifunctional hair styling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the personal care appliance market, consumers' demands for the functionality and diversity of hair styling tools are increasing. Hair straighteners, as common heat styling tools, use high-temperature plates to heat and shape hair, and have become one of the essential devices for modern people's daily hair styling. However, existing hair straightener technology has significant functional limitations; its initial design primarily focuses on a single function—straightening curly or wavy hair with high-temperature plates—lacking a response to users' diverse needs.

[0003] Most existing hair straighteners use a fixed heating plate structure, which can only achieve the basic function of "straightening". Although some products optimize the straightening effect by adjusting the temperature or plate material (such as ceramic coating), they are still essentially limited to a single styling scenario and cannot meet users' needs for diverse hairstyles such as curly hair, wavy hair, and inward curls. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a multifunctional hair styling tool.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a multifunctional hair styling tool, including: a first arm and a second arm, the first arm and the second arm being pivotally connected at one end, and both the first arm and the second arm having a heating component at the end away from the pivot, the heating component including a heating element and a heating body, the heating body being connected to the heating element, the first arm having comb teeth extending outward from both sides of the heating component, and the second arm having curling comb teeth at the position of the heating body, and the curling comb teeth extending out of the second arm.

[0007] In one specific embodiment, the outer side of the second arm is further provided with a tooth sleeve corresponding to the comb teeth.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, the tooth sleeve has notches on both sides to expose the comb teeth.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, the comb teeth are serrated.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the middle section of the first arm is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the second arm is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting protrusion.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, a circuit board is provided inside the first arm, and the heating element is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, the surface of the first arm portion is further provided with a textured layer.

[0014] In one specific embodiment, both the heating element and the comb teeth are made of aluminum.

[0015] In one specific embodiment, both the first arm and the second arm are made of plastic.

[0016] The advantages of this multi-functional hair straightener compared to existing technologies are as follows: By setting heating components (including heating elements and heating bodies) on the first and second arms away from the pivot end, a straightening plate with uniform heating can be formed when the heating elements on both sides are closed, realizing the core function of a traditional hair straightener; at the same time, the comb teeth added to the second arm at the heating body position and extending out of the surface of the second arm can achieve curly styling when rotating and wrapping hair by conducting heat through the heating body. This design allows a single hair straightener to have both straightening and curly functions, and users can switch between various hairstyles without purchasing an additional curling iron; in addition, the comb teeth extending outward on both sides of the heating components on the first arm can pre-comb the hair before straightening or curling, avoiding uneven heating or hair damage caused by tangles; at the same time, during the straightening or curling process, the comb teeth can help separate hair strands, improving the accuracy and efficiency of straightening or curling operations.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 3 The specific embodiment shown in this utility model discloses a multifunctional hair styling tool, including: a first arm 10 and a second arm 20, the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 being pivotally connected at one end, and both the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 being provided with a heating component 30 at the end away from the pivot point, the heating component 30 including a heating element 31 and a heating body 32, the heating body 32 being connected to the heating element 31, the first arm 10 having comb teeth 11 extending outward from both sides of the heating component 30, and the second arm 20 having curling comb teeth 40 at the position of the heating body 32, and the curling comb teeth 40 extending out of the second arm 20.

[0030] Specifically, the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 are pivotally connected at one end (such as by a hinge or pivot) to form an openable clamp structure. Users can control the opening and closing of the heating components 30 on both sides by holding the arms and applying pressure, thus accommodating hair strands of different thicknesses. Furthermore, both the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 have heating components 30 at the end furthest from the pivot. Each heating component 30 includes a heating element 31 (such as a ceramic panel or metal heating plate) and a heating element 32 (such as a PTC heating plate or heating wire). The heating element 32 is tightly attached to the heating element 31 via a thermally conductive material (such as thermally conductive silicone or a metal thermally conductive sheet), ensuring efficient heat transfer to the surface of the heating element 31. When the heating elements 31 on both sides are closed, the hair strand is clamped between the two heating elements 31, and the heat generated by the heating element 32 is evenly transferred to the hair through the heating elements 31, causing the hair proteins to denature and reshape into a straight hair shape. In addition, the heating element 30 of the first arm 10 has comb teeth 11 extending outwards on both sides, with rounded tips to avoid scratching the scalp. Before straightening hair, the user can close the arm and use the comb teeth 11 to comb the hair strands, separate tangled hair, and ensure that the hair strands are heated evenly during heating. When curling hair, the comb teeth 11 help to separate the hair strands, making it easier to wrap a small amount of hair around the curling comb teeth 40 of the second arm 20, improving the accuracy of the curling operation. In addition, the second arm 20 has curling comb teeth 40 at the corresponding position of the heating element 32, with the tooth tips extending beyond the surface of the second arm 20. The user closes the first arm 10 and the second arm 20, then wraps the hair around the curling comb teeth 40, while rotating the hair stylist to curl the hair strands.

[0031] In other words, by setting heating components 30 on the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 away from the pivot end, a hair straightener with uniform heating can be formed when the heating elements 31 on both sides are closed, realizing the core function of a traditional hair straightener. At the same time, the comb teeth 40 added to the second arm 20 at the position of the heating element 32 and extending out of the surface of the second arm 20 can conduct heat through the heating element 32 to achieve curling when rotating and wrapping hair. This design allows a single hair straightener to have both straightening and curling functions, and users can switch between multiple hairstyles without purchasing a separate curling iron. In addition, the comb teeth 11 extending outward on both sides of the heating component 30 on the first arm 10 can pre-comb the hair before straightening or curling, avoiding uneven heating or hair damage caused by tangles. At the same time, during the straightening or curling process, the comb teeth 11 can help separate hair strands, improving the accuracy and efficiency of straightening or curling operations. In addition, a single product can realize three functions: straightening, curling, and combing, and users do not need to purchase multiple tools, saving storage space and procurement costs.

[0032] In one embodiment, the outer side of the second arm 20 is also provided with a tooth sleeve 21 corresponding to the comb teeth 40.

[0033] Specifically, the comb teeth 40 are inserted into the tooth sleeve 21, which serves to prevent burns. More specifically, during the operation of the hair styling tool, the comb teeth 40 absorb a large amount of heat and rise in temperature due to their proximity to or direct contact with the heating element 30. When the user operates the hair styling tool to curl hair, their hands or other body parts may accidentally come into contact with the comb teeth 40. The tooth sleeve 21, located on the outside of the second arm 20 and corresponding to the comb teeth 40, acts as an insulating barrier, effectively preventing the user from accidentally touching the comb teeth 40 and avoiding the risk of burns. In addition, the tooth sleeve 21 provides a certain degree of protection for the comb teeth 40. During daily use, storage, or transportation, the hair styling tool may be subjected to external forces such as impacts and compression. Without the protection of the tooth sleeve 21, the comb teeth 40 are easily damaged, such as bending or breaking, affecting the curling function and service life.

[0034] In one embodiment, the tooth sleeve 21 has notches on both sides to expose the comb teeth 40.

[0035] Specifically, the notches on both sides of the clip 21 expose the comb teeth 40, a key design feature for achieving the curling function. During curling, the user wraps their hair around the exposed comb teeth 40 and then rotates the hair stylist to create curls. Additionally, the clip 21 itself provides some protection against burns, while the notches on both sides limit the exposed area of ​​the comb teeth 40. Compared to a design without the clip 21 and with the comb teeth 40 fully exposed, this design reduces the likelihood of accidental contact with the comb teeth 40 during use, lowering the risk of burns.

[0036] In one embodiment, the comb teeth 11 are serrated.

[0037] Specifically, the shape of the serrations is usually designed as an isosceles triangle or a similar pointed shape. The size of the tooth apex angle is determined according to actual usage needs and is generally controlled within a certain range to ensure effective combing without causing excessive damage to the hair. The dimensions of the serrations include parameters such as tooth height and tooth width, which are adjusted according to the specifications of the hair styling tool and the target user group. For example, for hair styling tools used by children, the serrations may be relatively small and rounded; while for professional hair styling tools used by adults, the serrations may be slightly larger to better handle thicker hair. The serrations can be arranged evenly or with varying density according to a certain pattern to achieve different combing effects.

[0038] In other words, the serrated comb teeth 11 are more effective at combing hair than ordinary straight-tooth comb teeth 11. When the comb teeth 11 move through the hair, the tips of the serrated teeth can more easily penetrate between the hair strands, separating knots and tangles. For example, for some stubborn knots, straight-tooth comb teeth 11 may require considerable force to untangle them, easily pulling the hair and causing pain or even damage; while the serrated comb teeth 11 can gradually separate the hair through their multiple tips, reducing pulling force and making the combing process easier and smoother. Furthermore, the arrangement of the serrations increases the contact area and friction between the comb teeth 11 and the hair, further improving the combing effect. Evenly arranged serrations ensure that the hair receives a uniform force during combing, avoiding insufficient combing in certain areas; while serrations with varying density allow for targeted combing according to different parts and conditions of the hair.

[0039] In one embodiment, both the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 are bent at the end away from the pivot.

[0040] Specifically, the bent design of the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 at the end away from the pivot point better conforms to the natural contour of the head. While head shapes vary, they generally have a certain curvature. The bent design allows the heating element to be evenly distributed along the head's curve when the hair stylist is closed, ensuring full contact with the hair and improving heat conduction efficiency. This allows the hair to heat up faster and more evenly, achieving better styling results. For example, in curling, the bent design allows the comb teeth 40 to better wrap around the hair, creating a more lasting and aesthetically pleasing curl. Furthermore, the bent design maintains a safe distance between the handle and the head. During hair styling, the hand needs to hold the handle. If the handle is too close to the head, it's easy to accidentally hit the head, causing burns or other discomfort. The bent structure extends the handle outwards or upwards, increasing the distance between the handle and the head, effectively preventing this and improving safety.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first arm portion 10 is provided with a limiting protrusion 12 in the middle section, and the second arm portion 20 is provided with a limiting groove 22 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 12.

[0042] Specifically, when the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 are closed, the limiting protrusion 12 inserts into the limiting groove 22, accurately determining the relative position of the two arms and ensuring precise alignment of the heating element of the hair stylist with other components. Furthermore, during use, the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 are subjected to various external forces, such as hand grip and the reaction force of hair on the heating element. The cooperation between the limiting protrusion 12 and the limiting groove 22 enhances the connection strength between the two arms, withstands these external forces, and prevents misalignment or separation during use. For example, when a user vigorously combs their hair, the limiting structure ensures that the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 are tightly joined and will not loosen due to external forces, guaranteeing the normal operation of the hair stylist. Additionally, the insertion of the limiting protrusion 12 into the limiting groove 22 limits the degree of closure of the first arm 10 and the second arm 20, preventing excessive closure and damage to internal components.

[0043] In one embodiment, a circuit board is provided inside the first arm 10, and the heating element 32 is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0044] Specifically, the circuit board is fixed to the first arm 10 with screws. A power switch is provided on the circuit board and extends out of the first arm 10 for user operation. The circuit board controls the operation of the heating element 32, which then transfers heat to the heating element 31 and the comb teeth 40 to achieve straightening and curling functions. In other embodiments, the circuit board may also be located on the second arm 20.

[0045] In one embodiment, the surface of the first arm portion 10 is further provided with a textured layer 13.

[0046] Specifically, the textured layer 13 increases friction, making it less slippery when using the hair styling tool by hand.

[0047] In one embodiment, both the heating element 31 and the comb teeth 40 are made of aluminum.

[0048] Specifically, aluminum possesses excellent thermal conductivity, exhibiting a high thermal conductivity coefficient. When the heating element 32 is energized, heat can rapidly diffuse through the aluminum material to the entire surface of the heating element 31 and the comb teeth 40, allowing them to reach the required temperature quickly, significantly shortening heating time and improving efficiency. Furthermore, due to the uniform thermal conductivity of aluminum, the temperature distribution on the surfaces of the heating element 31 and the comb teeth 40 is more even. When using the hair styling tool, the hair is heated evenly, avoiding problems such as poor styling results or hair damage caused by excessively high or low local temperatures, resulting in a more ideal styling outcome.

[0049] In one embodiment, both the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 are made of plastic.

[0050] Specifically, plastic has a relatively low density, making the first arm 10 and second arm 20 lighter than materials like metal. This reduces the overall weight of the hair styling tool, preventing arm fatigue during prolonged use. This is especially beneficial for hair styling tools requiring frequent operation, as the lighter weight significantly improves user comfort and convenience. Furthermore, the relatively low cost of plastic raw materials, compared to materials like metal, allows for significant reductions in manufacturing costs during mass production. This enables hair styling tool manufacturers to lower prices while maintaining product quality, enhancing market competitiveness and facilitating product promotion and sales.

[0051] The other specific structures of the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 adopt existing publicly available technologies and will not be elaborated on here.

[0052] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
