[0002] A curling iron is a handheld electronic device used to curl hair. It works by winding hair around a heating element, which then heats the hair for styling. As living standards improve, people have developed their own ideas about hairstyles, leading to a variety of curling irons on the market. For example, automatic curling irons have a rotating guide on the outside of the heating element for ease of use, guiding the hair to automatically wind around it. However, while the distance between the guide and the heating element is fixed, the amount of hair drawn each time is not. If there's too little hair, the guide may not work, while if there's too much, it won't fit. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic hair curler, which has a structure in which the hair clamping part floats according to the change in the amount of hair, thereby adjusting the distance between the hair clamping part and the heating tube, and thus adapting to different hair volumes.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1-8 As shown, an automatic hair curler includes a handle 1 and a heating tube 2 disposed on the handle 1. A guide 7 is disposed on the top of the handle 1 outside the heating tube 2, and at least two guide portions 72 are disposed on the guide 7. A hair clamp 8 that floats according to changes in the amount of hair is disposed inside one of the guide portions 72.

[0030] Therefore, in actual use, by setting the hair clip 8 to a structure that floats in response to changes in the amount of hair, that is, moving with changes in the amount of hair, specifically by moving, the distance between the hair clip and the heating tube can be adjusted, thus making it suitable for different hair volumes.

[0031] Meanwhile, the structure related to the hair clip 8 is as follows: First, the guide 7 has an exposure opening 71, and the side of the hair clip 8 closest to the heating tube 2 is exposed through the exposure opening 71. The side of the hair clip 8 furthest from the heating tube 2 is located inside the guide portion 72, and an elastic element 9 is provided between it and the inner wall of the guide portion 72. Therefore, in actual use, the elasticity of the elastic element 9 allows the hair clip 8 to float according to changes in the amount of hair.

[0032] Furthermore, the installation structure of the elastic element 9 and the guide element 7 is as follows: First, a cover 6 is provided on the side of the guide part 72 away from the exposure port 71, and an elastic element 9 is provided between the cover 6 and the hair clip 8.

[0033] Therefore, in actual use, the hair clip 8 includes a plate and a protrusion on the plate. The hair clip 8 enters from the end with the cover 6 and the protrusion is exposed from the opening 71. The plate is slotted and the cover 6 is provided with a protrusion. The elastic element 9 is a spring. Therefore, when installed, one end of the spring is located in the slot of the plate and the other end of the spring is sleeved on the outside of the protrusion.

[0034] Secondly, the cover 6 and the guide 72 are connected by fasteners, namely screws.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the hair clip 8 and the guide 7 on the side closer to the heating tube 2 gradually decreases from low to high. Therefore, in actual use, since the distance between the hair clip 8 and the guide 7 on the side closer to the heating tube 2 gradually decreases from low to high, it means that the distance between the hair clip 8 and the heating tube 2 on the side closer to the heating tube 2 gradually increases from low to high, making it easier to insert hair and clamp it afterward.

[0036] like Figure 7 As shown, the structure of the heating tube 2 is as follows: First, the heating tube 2 includes a first heating tube 21 and a second heating tube 22. A protrusion 211 is provided on the side where the first heating tube 21 is connected to the second heating tube 22, and a groove 221 is provided on the second heating tube 22 corresponding to the protrusion 211.

[0037] Therefore, in actual use, the connection between the first heating tube 21 and the second heating tube 22 is achieved by matching the protrusion 211 with the groove 221. This ensures sufficient connection strength and avoids the potential aging problem caused by connecting the first heating tube 21 and the second heating tube 22 with plastic connectors in the prior art.

[0038] Moreover, the specific structure of the protrusion 211 is as follows: First, the protrusion 211 includes a snap-fit ​​part 212 and a connecting part 213, and the connecting part 213 is located between the snap-fit ​​part 212 and the first heating tube 21. The width of the snap-fit ​​part 212 is greater than the width of the connecting part 213, and the shape of the groove 221 is adapted to the snap-fit ​​part 212.

[0039] Therefore, in actual use, by setting the width difference of the protrusion 211, the first heating tube 21 and the second heating tube 22 can achieve radial self-locking after the assembly is completed, that is, they will not move horizontally, thus improving the connection strength.

[0040] Furthermore, the heating principle of the first heating tube 21 and the second heating tube 22 is as follows: First, the first heating tube 21 and the second heating tube 22 have heating plates built in them, and the heating plates are electrically connected to the circuit board 10 of the handle 1. The handle 1 is provided with a pressing plate corresponding to the button of the circuit board 10. By pressing the pressing plate and contacting the button, a signal is sent to the circuit board 10, which in turn causes the circuit board 10 to drive the heating plate to heat the first heating tube 21 and the second heating tube 22.

[0041] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the other structures are as follows: First, a heat insulation head 5 is connected to the heating tube 2, and the heat insulation head 5 and the heating tube 2 are inserted into each other and fixed by fasteners.

[0042] Therefore, in actual use, the heat insulation head 5 can prevent users from touching the top of the heating tube 2 and getting burned, thus ensuring the safety of the curling iron during use.

[0043] Furthermore, a negative ion emitter 4 is installed on one side of the heating tube 2. The negative ion emitter 4 is a device that generates negative air ions. Therefore, during actual use, by releasing negative ions to neutralize static electricity in the hair, it helps close the hair cuticles, thereby reducing frizz and dryness, while also reducing heat damage to the hair from high temperatures, making the hair smoother and shinier. The negative ion emitter 4 includes a housing and an emitter head with an inner housing. However, since the negative ion emitter 4 is existing technology and can be purchased directly, and is not the focus of this utility model, it will not be described in detail.

[0044] Meanwhile, the rotating structure of the guide 7 is as follows: First, the handle 1 includes a housing 11 and a mounting bracket 12 and a mounting bracket 2 13 located at the top opening of the housing 11. The top of the mounting bracket 12 is inserted into the heating tube 2 and is equipped with a motor 3 with gears. The mounting bracket 2 13 is located between the housing 11 and the mounting bracket 12. The mounting bracket 2 13 is connected to the guide 7 by fasteners. The mounting bracket 2 13 has several teeth inside that mesh with the gears.

[0045] The fasteners are screws. Therefore, in actual use, the motor 3 drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting bracket 13 to rotate, and in turn drives the guide 7 to rotate. Moreover, a bearing is provided between the mounting bracket 12 and the mounting bracket 13, and the motor 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 10 of the handle 1. The handle 1 is provided with a pressing plate corresponding to the button on the circuit board 10. By pressing the pressing plate and contacting the button, a signal is sent to the circuit board 10, which in turn drives the motor 3 to drive the gear to rotate.

[0046] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments; therefore, various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the principles and scope of this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
