Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hair care equipment technology, and in particular to a hot air comb with a water ion module. Background Technology

[0002] Hot air combs, used for drying and styling hair, generally include a handle assembly and an air outlet assembly that can rotate at a certain angle on the handle assembly. The handle assembly houses a fan and a heating element, causing airflow to be heated from the lower end of the handle assembly and guided towards the air outlet assembly. To improve the user experience, some hot air combs also incorporate a water ion module within the handle assembly. This module collects moisture from the airflow, cools it, and ionizes it into water ions before it flows out from the handle assembly. However, this water ion module is typically installed inside the handle assembly, making the overall structure bulky. Furthermore, the proximity of the water ion module to the heating element can shorten its lifespan. Additionally, the steam outlet of the water ion module needs to follow a relatively long channel to exit the air outlet assembly, potentially affecting its efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, a hot air comb with a water ion module is provided. The aim is to make the overall structure simpler and more compact, and the handle will not be constructed into a bulky structure due to the large number of internal components. At the same time, the water ion module is located away from the heating components, which makes its service life longer and less likely to be affected by long-term heating. This is intended to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned technical defects.

[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A hot air comb with a water ion module includes:

[0006] The handle has a first airflow channel inside, and a fan assembly and a heating assembly are sequentially assembled in the first airflow channel along the direction of the airflow path.

[0007] The air outlet is rotatably connected to the upper end of the handle, and the air outlet has a second airflow channel that is always connected to the first airflow channel. The air outlet is also equipped with a water ion module.

[0008] Furthermore, the handle and the air outlet together form a gas flow channel. One end of the gas flow channel extends to the upper surface of the air outlet and forms a steam outlet, while the other end extends to the position between the heating element and the fan assembly, so that the airflow that has not been heated by the heating element can enter the gas flow channel, and the water ion module is set in the part of the gas flow channel in the air outlet.

[0009] Preferably, an air inlet is formed on the side wall at the lower end of the handle for sending airflow into the first airflow channel, and an air outlet is formed on the end face of the air outlet away from the handle for communicating with the second airflow channel and for releasing airflow, and the air outlet is adjacent to the air outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the handle includes a nested outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, the hollow structure of the inner cylinder serves as a first airflow channel, and an inner liner is also provided on the upper part of the inner cylinder. The inner liner extends upward from the inner cylinder in at least part and forms a connecting seat for rotatably connecting the air outlet. The fan assembly is assembled in the inner cylinder, the heating assembly is assembled in the inner liner, and at least one third airflow channel is formed between the outer wall of the inner liner and the outer wall of the inner cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the air outlet includes an inner shell that forms a second airflow channel, an outer shell that is fitted around the outer periphery of the inner shell, and a fourth airflow channel that is isolated from the second airflow channel is formed between the inner shell and the outer shell. The water ion module is installed in the fourth airflow channel, and the third airflow channel and the fourth airflow channel together form a gas flow channel.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end face of the connecting seat is formed with a first inclined surface, the lower end face of the inner shell is formed with a second inclined surface adapted to the first inclined surface, and the third airflow channel extends upward to the first inclined surface and forms an air outlet, one end of the fourth airflow channel extends to the second inclined surface and forms at least one air inlet adapted to the air outlet, the other end of the fourth airflow channel extends to the upper end face of the air outlet and forms a steam outlet, and in the use state, at least one of the air outlets is connected to at least one of the air inlets.

[0013] Preferably, two mirror-distributed air outlets are formed on opposite sides of the first inclined surface, and an airflow groove forming part of the third airflow channel is formed on the outer wall of the inner liner and sealed by a side cover. Each pair of air outlets is connected to an airflow groove, so that the air outlet can remain in a state of communication between the third airflow channel and the fourth airflow channel after rotating a certain angle.

[0014] Preferably, at least two locking holes are provided on the second inclined surface, and a latch is slidably provided on one side of the handle. The upper end of the latch forms a locking tongue and can pass through the through groove opened on the second inclined surface and extend into one of the locking holes, so that the air outlet and the handle are kept locked together.

[0015] Preferably, the first inclined surface has a first opening that forms the air outlet end of the first airflow channel, the second inclined surface has a second opening that forms the air inlet end of the second airflow channel, and a connecting ring is also formed protruding around the first opening on the first inclined surface. The inner peripheral wall of the second opening has an annular groove that matches the connecting ring, so that the air outlet can be rotatably mounted on the handle.

[0016] Preferably, a circuit board is also embedded in the inner wall of the inner cylinder, and the heating element, fan element and water ion module are electrically connected to the circuit board respectively.

[0017] Preferably, a grid structure is formed on the lower end of the outer cylinder wall, and the grid holes on the grid structure serve as air inlets. A filter component directly opposite the grid structure is connected to the lower end of the inner cylinder.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0019] (1) The hot air comb with water ion module includes a handle, an air outlet, a fan assembly, a heating assembly, and a water ion module. The handle and the air outlet form a first airflow channel, a second airflow channel, and a gas flow channel. The fan assembly guides the airflow to flow towards the air outlet along a preset airflow path. The heating assembly heats the airflow. The water ion module is used to collect moisture in the airflow and generate water ions, which are then sprayed towards the steam outlet. The water ion module is located inside the air outlet, making the overall structure simpler and more compact. The handle will not be bulky due to the large number of internal components. At the same time, the water ion module is far away from the heating assembly, which makes its service life longer and less likely to be affected by long-term heating. The water ion module is installed in an independent gas flow channel, which can ensure that the airflow passing through the water ion module is cold air, effectively improving its working efficiency and service life.

[0020] (2) In all usage states, the water ion module can be located in an independent airflow channel composed of the third airflow channel and the fourth airflow channel. The third airflow channel is surrounded by the outer wall of the heating element shell and the inner wall of the inner cylinder. On the one hand, the third airflow channel is connected to the upstream of the first airflow channel to ensure that the airflow can enter. On the other hand, it avoids the airflow heated by the heating element from entering the channel and damaging the working performance of the water ion module. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. And the following definitions are provided: Figure 2 The direction from the power cord to the air outlet shown is the upward direction in this embodiment, and Figure 7 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the direction of gas flow in the third airflow channel.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 9 As shown in the figure, the hot air comb with a water ion module provided in this embodiment includes:

[0032] The handle 1 has a first airflow channel 10 inside, and a fan assembly 3 and a heating assembly 4 are sequentially assembled in the first airflow channel 10 along the direction of the airflow path.

[0033] The air outlet 2 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the handle 1, and the air outlet 2 has a second airflow channel 20 that is always connected to the first airflow channel 10. The air outlet 2 is also equipped with a water ion module 5.

[0034] Furthermore, the handle 1 and the air outlet 2 together form a gas flow channel. One end of the gas flow channel extends to the upper surface of the air outlet 2 and forms a steam outlet 28, while the other end extends to the position between the heating element 4 and the fan assembly 3, so that the airflow that has not been heated by the heating element 4 can enter the gas flow channel, and the water ion module 5 is disposed in the part of the gas flow channel in the air outlet 2.

[0035] Based on the above technical solution, the hot air comb with a water ion module includes a handle 1, an air outlet 2, a fan assembly 3, a heating element 4, and a water ion module 5. A first airflow channel 10, a second airflow channel 20, and a gas flow channel are formed in the handle 1 and the air outlet 2. The fan assembly 3 guides the airflow to flow towards the air outlet 2 along a preset airflow path. The heating element 4 heats the airflow. The water ion module 5 is used to collect moisture in the airflow and generate water ions, which are then sprayed towards the steam outlet 28. The water ion module 5 is located inside the air outlet 2, making the overall structure simpler and more compact. The handle 1 will not be constructed into a bulky structure due to a large number of internal components. At the same time, the water ion module 5 is far away from the heating element 4, which makes its service life longer and less likely to be affected by long-term heating. Furthermore, the water ion module 5 is installed in an independent gas flow channel, which can ensure that the airflow passing through the water ion module 5 is cold air, effectively improving its working efficiency and service life.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, an air inlet 14 is formed on the side wall at the lower end of the handle 1 for sending airflow into the first airflow channel 10, and an air outlet 24 is formed on the end face of the air outlet 2 away from the handle 1, which is connected to the second airflow channel 20 and is used to discharge airflow, and the steam outlet 28 is adjacent to the air outlet 24.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the handle 1 includes a nested outer cylinder 11 and an inner cylinder 12. The hollow structure of the inner cylinder 12 serves as a first airflow channel 10, and an inner liner 7 is also provided on the upper part of the inner cylinder 12. The inner liner 7 extends upward at least partially from the inner cylinder 12 and forms a connecting seat for rotatably connecting the air outlet 2. The fan assembly 3 is assembled in the inner cylinder 12, the heating assembly 4 is assembled in the inner liner 7, and at least one third airflow channel 30 is formed between the outer wall of the inner liner 7 and the outer wall of the inner cylinder 12.

[0038] The air outlet 2 includes an inner shell 22 that forms the second airflow channel 20, an outer shell 21 that is sleeved around the outer periphery of the inner shell 22, and a fourth airflow channel 40 that is isolated from the second airflow channel 20 is formed between the inner shell 22 and the outer shell 21. The water ion module 5 is installed in the fourth airflow channel 40, and the third airflow channel 30 and the fourth airflow channel 40 together form a gas flow channel.

[0039] As a further preferred embodiment, the upper end face of the connecting seat is formed with a first inclined surface 13, the lower end face of the inner shell 22 is formed with a second inclined surface 23 adapted to the first inclined surface 13, and the third airflow channel 30 extends upward to the first inclined surface 13 and forms an air outlet 17. One end of the fourth airflow channel 40 extends to the second inclined surface 23 and forms at least one air inlet 27 adapted to the air outlet 17. The other end of the fourth airflow channel 40 extends to the upper end face of the air outlet 2 and forms a steam outlet 28. In the use state, at least one of the air outlets 17 is connected to at least one of the air inlets 27.

[0040] As a further preferred embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, two mirror-image air outlets 27 are formed on opposite sides of the first inclined surface 13. An airflow groove 71, forming part of the third airflow channel, is formed on the outer wall of the inner liner 7 and is sealed by a side cover 72. Each pair of air outlets 27 connects to an airflow groove 71, ensuring that the air outlet 2, after rotating a certain angle, remains in a state where the third airflow channel 30 and the fourth airflow channel 40 are interconnected. Figure 4 As shown, the air inlet 17 is formed on the second inclined surface 23 and is arranged in two sets in a mirror distribution, so that when the hot air comb switches between a straight state and a curved state, the air inlet 17 rotates to different positions and opens different air outlets 27.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, at least two locking holes 26 are provided on the second inclined surface 23. A latch 16 is slidably provided on one side of the handle 1. The upper end of the latch 16 forms a locking tongue and can pass through the through groove on the second inclined surface 23 and extend into one of the locking holes 26, so that the air outlet 2 and the handle 1 are locked together. That is, the latch 16 and the locking holes 26 can keep the air outlet 2 in a state after rotating relative to the handle 1 at a certain angle, including a straight line, an "L" shaped bend, and other bends. The specific arrangement can be determined based on the number and relative position of the locking holes 26. For example, four locking holes 26 are evenly arranged in a ring, so that the air outlet 2 can rotate and lock in the directions of 90 degrees, 190 degrees, 270 degrees, and 360 degrees. It is not limited to this.

[0042] Based on the above, in each usage state, the water ion module 5 can be located in an independent airflow channel jointly formed by the third airflow channel 30 and the fourth airflow channel 40. The third airflow channel 30 is surrounded by the outer wall of the housing of the heating component 4 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder 12. On the one hand, the third airflow channel 30 is connected to the upstream of the first airflow channel 10 to ensure that the airflow can enter. On the other hand, it prevents the airflow heated by the heating component 4 from entering and damaging the working performance of the water ion module 5.

[0043] It is worth noting that the water ion module 5 typically includes a condenser rod, a thermoelectric cooler, a heat dissipation unit, and a discharge electrode assembly. The cooling surface of the thermoelectric cooler contacts the condenser rod, and the heating surface of the thermoelectric cooler is attached to the heat dissipation unit. The thermoelectric cooler is used to collect water molecules in the airflow, cool them, and cause them to condense. The discharge electrode assembly discharges to the condenser rod to form water ions. This is an existing structure, so further elaboration is omitted here.

A connecting ring 131 is also formed protruding around the first opening 15 on the first inclined surface 13. The inner peripheral wall of the second opening 25 has an annular groove 232 that matches the connecting ring 131, so that the air outlet 2 can be rotatably mounted on the handle 1. Its rotatable connection structure can also be achieved by, for example, a tubular connection or an annular stop connection structure designed on the inclined surface, and is not limited to this.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a circuit board 6 is also embedded in the inner wall of the inner cylinder 12, and the heating component 4, the fan component 3, and the water ion module 5 are electrically connected to the circuit board 6.

[0046] In addition, a push button 201 for engaging accessory heads, including nozzles and comb heads, is slidably provided on one side of the inner housing 22, allowing them to be inserted into the gap formed between the outer housing 21 and the inner housing 22 and engaged with the push button 201. A control panel and a power switch, electrically connected to the circuit board 6, are also embedded on the outer cylinder 11 of the handle 1. A power connector for connecting to external AC power is also provided at the bottom of the handle 1, and the heating element 4 is a heating plate with a heat-insulating housing. These are common components in this product, so detailed descriptions are omitted here.

[0047] As a further preferred embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a grid structure 18 is formed on the lower end of the outer cylinder 11. The grid holes on the grid structure 18 serve as air inlets 14. The lower end of the inner cylinder 12 is connected to a filter component 19 facing the grid structure 18 to filter the incoming air. The filter component 19 can be a filter screen, filter cotton, HEPA filter, etc.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalents can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the present utility model, all of which will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
