Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hair perming device technology, and in particular to a horizontally air-discharge straightening comb. Background Technology
[0002] A hair straightening comb is a hair styling tool that can blow hot air while combing hair to straighten it. Its specific structure can be found in Chinese Patent No. CN210054996U, which discloses a hair straightening comb that can clamp hair. It includes a comb body, a heating component and a blower component inside the comb body, an air outlet that connects with the blower component on the comb body, and several sets of hair clamping comb teeth around the air outlet.
[0003] The aforementioned hair straightener can clamp the hair directly in front of the air outlet during the combing process, stabilizing the hair and preventing it from flying around when hot air blows on it, thus enhancing the straightening effect. When using a hair straightener, the comb teeth must be directly facing the head to achieve the desired combing effect. However, most existing hair straighteners use a direct air outlet design. When the comb teeth are directly facing the head, the air outlet on the hair straightener will also be directly facing the head. If the airflow and temperature of the hair straightener are not adjusted in advance, the hot air from the hair straightener may penetrate the hair and blow directly onto the scalp, causing burns and resulting in an unpleasant experience for the user. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing hair straighteners that use a direct airflow design, which can easily burn the scalp and hair roots during use, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hair straightener with a horizontal airflow design.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:
[0006] A horizontally vented hair straightener includes a housing assembly with an air outlet and a hot air device built into the housing assembly. The housing assembly has a comb tooth assembly for combing hair protruding on the outer wall of the air outlet. The housing assembly has a horizontal airflow guide at the air outlet. The horizontal airflow guide includes a ventilation component with several air outlet gaps and a guide component that guides the airflow generated by the hot air device to be blown out obliquely from the air outlet gaps.
[0007] Using the above solution, the airflow guide component can guide the airflow generated by the hot air device to the side of the air outlet gap, so that the direction of the airflow inside the housing is at an angle to the ventilation component, and the airflow is blown out of the ventilation gap at an inclined angle. This allows the airflow after passing through the air outlet gap to continue to move in the direction inclined to the ventilation component. Compared with the direct airflow method, when the air outlet is directly facing the head, the inclined airflow needs to travel a longer distance to reach the scalp and will not blow directly to the scalp. The designer can change the angle between the airflow and the ventilation component by adjusting the position of the airflow guide component, so that the airflow and the ventilation component tend to be parallel, so that the airflow is as far away from the hair roots as possible, and only straightens the middle or ends of the hair, reducing damage to the hair roots, so that the straight hair comb has a certain hair care effect.
[0008] When combing hair, the comb teeth cause the hair to fall in the direction of combing. Existing direct-blowing technology blows the fallen hair directly away from the air outlet, causing the hair to become frizzy and messy. However, when using the straightening comb in this solution, if the combing direction is in line with the airflow direction, the airflow will blow in the direction the hair falls. This way of blow-drying is less likely to blow the hair into disarray, and the hair will be neater after drying. Therefore, as long as the combing direction is consistent with the airflow direction, the frizzy hair caused by the hair falling out during the drying and straightening process can be reduced, resulting in more neat hair after drying.
[0009] Preferably, the ventilation component has several baffles spaced apart at the air outlet, with an air outlet gap formed between two adjacent baffles.
[0010] Preferably, the side of the baffle backing the flow guide component has a streamlined curved surface.
[0011] Using the above solution, when the airflow is blown out of the air outlet gap at an angle, the airflow will move along the streamlined outer side of the baffle, and the air pressure difference between adjacent air outlet gaps will enhance the flow effect. Specifically, when one air outlet gap outputs airflow outward, the pressure near the air outlet gap decreases, forming a certain suction force. The airflow blown out by the adjacent air outlet gap will first flow along the outer side of the baffle and flow towards the air outlet gap, and then be captured by the suction force and accelerate towards the air outlet gap. Therefore, the limitation on the shape of the baffle in this solution is a further optimization of the previous solution, and the suction effect at the air outlet gap will also act on the hair, forming an adsorption effect, which can further reduce the phenomenon of flyaways caused by the inconsistent direction of the airflow and the direction of the hair.
[0012] Preferably, the flow guiding component has flow guiding structures in the same number as the air outlet gap and in a position that is connected to the air outlet gap one by one. The flow guiding structure includes an air inlet structure that is offset from the air outlet gap and an air outlet structure that connects the air inlet structure and the air outlet gap.
[0013] Preferably, the air outlet structure includes a first air outlet side and a second air outlet side distributed on both sides of the air inlet structure. The air guide component is movably disposed between the air permeable component and the housing assembly and can move to the first air outlet side to connect with the air outlet gap or to the second air outlet side to connect with the air outlet gap.
[0014] Preferably, the flow guiding component is slidably disposed between the ventilation component and the housing assembly. An operating component exposed outside the housing assembly is connected to the flow guiding component. The operating component is used to drive the flow guiding component to slide. An elastic component is also provided between the flow guiding component and the housing assembly to drive the flow guiding component to move closer to the ventilation component.
[0015] The previous solution mentioned that combing the hair in the direction of the airflow from the vent would make the hair neater. However, if the combing direction was opposite to the airflow direction, it would mess up the hair. Therefore, people needed to adjust the airflow angle of the straightener according to their desired hairstyle. For example, with a middle part hairstyle, after combing one side of the hair, people needed to rotate the straightener 180° and adjust the airflow direction to match the other side of the hair before they could start combing. This made the straightener inconvenient to use. In this solution, the straightener can switch the airflow direction of the straightener by sliding the airflow guide component. This makes it more convenient for users to adjust the airflow direction, making the straightener more versatile and convenient to use. The elastic component in this solution reduces the gap between the airflow guide component and the ventilation component, which can reduce the airflow from flowing out of the gap and reduce the airflow efficiency.
[0016] Preferably, the operating component includes a knob fixedly disposed on the flow guide component and partially protruding through the ventilation component, the knob being capable of reciprocating relative to the ventilation component along the sliding direction of the flow guide component.
[0017] Using the above solution, the airflow direction can be switched simply by moving a knob with your finger, making it very convenient to operate.
[0018] Preferably, the operating component includes a lever with one end connected to the air guide component and the other end extending from the side of the housing assembly facing away from the air outlet, with the middle part of the lever hinged to the housing assembly.
[0019] In adopting the above solution, considering that the position of the dial in the front-mounted solution is on the same side as the ventilation component, if the finger is burned by hot air when the dial is turned in the blowing state, the dial in this solution is set on the back of the housing assembly to reduce the probability of being burned when switching the air direction.
[0020] Preferably, the elastic element includes a spring pin that is elastically telescopically disposed on the flow guide component and abuts against the housing assembly, or elastically telescopically disposed on the housing assembly and abuts against the flow guide component. The housing assembly or the flow guide component has a limiting groove for the spring pin to be engaged. At least two limiting grooves are distributed at intervals along the sliding direction of the flow guide component. When the first air outlet side or the second air outlet side aligns with the air outlet gap, the spring pin cooperates with the limiting groove to restrict the movement of the flow guide component.
[0021] Using the above solution, the spring pin can limit the flow guide component after it is inserted into the limiting groove. Moving the flow guide component requires overcoming a certain resistance, which can reduce the situation where the air outlet direction is switched due to accidental touch of the operating component.
[0022] Preferably, the housing assembly includes an outer shell for accommodating the hot air component and having an air outlet, an inner heat-insulating frame disposed within the outer shell, and a diversion component fixed to the heat insulation layer. The diversion component includes an inner mounting frame connected to the inner heat-insulating frame and a plurality of diversion blades spaced apart on the inner mounting frame. The cross-section of the diversion blades near the guide component is horizontal, and the cross-section away from the guide component is an inclined downward arc shape. The diversion blades are spaced apart vertically.
[0023] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has significant technical effects:
[0024] 1. Compared with the direct airflow method, when the air outlet is directly facing the head, the angled airflow needs to travel a longer distance to reach the scalp and will not blow directly on the scalp. The designer can change the angle between the airflow and the ventilation component by adjusting the position of the airflow guide component, so that the airflow and the ventilation component are more parallel, so that the airflow is as far away from the hair roots as possible, and only straightens the middle or ends of the hair, reducing damage to the hair roots, so that the straight hair comb has a certain hair care effect.
[0025] 2. When using the hair straightening comb in this solution, simply keep the combing direction consistent with the airflow direction, and the airflow will blow out along the direction of the hair. When the airflow is tilted and blown out of the air outlet gap, the airflow will move along the streamlined outer side of the baffle and interact with the air pressure difference generated by the airflow in the adjacent air outlet gap, so that the airflow spreads evenly on the surface of the baffle and has a certain adsorption effect on the hair, which can reduce the phenomenon of flyaways during the straightening process, which can cause local hair to be messy, and make the straightened hair more neat.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1
[0042] A type of horizontally venting straightening hair comb, based on Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the housing assembly 1 includes a housing component 1 with an air outlet 106. The housing component 1 includes an outer shell 101 with the air outlet 106. An inner heat-insulating frame 102 and a flow-diverting component are disposed inside the outer shell 101. An heat-insulating cavity is formed between the inner heat-insulating frame 102 and the outer shell 101. The flow-diverting component includes a mounting inner frame 103 connected to the inner heat-insulating frame 102. A partition 104 protrudes from the mounting inner frame 103. Several flow-diverting blades 105 extend horizontally on both sides of the partition 104 and are distributed vertically at intervals. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the diverting blades 105 are distributed at intervals from top to bottom and from long to short, forming a stepped arrangement. A hot air device 2 that docks with the diverting component is provided inside the outer shell 101. The hot air device 2 includes a fan component 201 with its output end facing the diverting component. A heating component 202 is provided between the fan component 201 and the diverting component. A comb tooth assembly for combing hair (not shown in the accompanying drawings) is protruding on the outer wall of the outer shell 101 at the air outlet 106. The above structure is prior art, and this part of the structure will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0043] A transverse airflow guide is provided on the housing assembly 1 at the air outlet 106, according to Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 8, the transverse guide section includes a ventilation component 3 fixed on the outer shell 101. The ventilation component 3 has several baffles 301 spaced apart at the air outlet 106. An air outlet gap 303 is formed between two adjacent baffles 301. A streamlined curved surface 302 is formed on the side of the baffle 301 facing the outside of the outer shell 101.
[0044] according to Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 7, the transverse guide section also includes a guide component 4 slidably disposed between the diversion component and the ventilation component 3. A guide structure is formed on the guide component 4. The number of guide structures is consistent with the number of air outlet gaps 303, and their positions are connected to each air outlet gap 303. The guide structure includes an air inlet structure 401 offset from the air outlet gap 303. The air inlet structure 401 and the air outlet gap 303 are connected through an air outlet structure 402. According to... Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the air outlet structure 402 includes a first air outlet side 4021 and a second air outlet side 4022 distributed on both sides of the air inlet structure 401. The guide component 4 can slide to drive the first air outlet side 4021 to engage with the air outlet gap 303 or slide to the second air outlet side 4022 to engage with the air outlet gap 303.
[0045] The flow guide component 4 is connected to an operating element that protrudes from the housing assembly 1, according to Figure 7 , 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the operating component includes a knob 5 fixedly mounted on the flow guide component 4 and partially extending through the ventilation component 3. The top of the ventilation component 3 has an installation window 501 through which the knob 5 passes. The knob 5 can reciprocate relative to the ventilation component 3 along the sliding direction of the flow guide component 4. An elastic element is provided between the flow guide component 4 and the housing assembly 1 to drive the flow guide component 4 towards the ventilation component 3. Figure 7 As shown, the elastic element includes a spring pin 6 that is elastically telescopically disposed on the flow guide component 4 and abuts against the housing assembly 1. In this embodiment, the top of the flow guide component 4 is formed with a first mounting position 7 for accommodating the spring pin 6. The top of the diversion component holds a limiting groove 8 for the spring pin 6 to be engaged. There are two limiting grooves 8 distributed at intervals along the sliding direction of the flow guide component 4. When the first air outlet side 4021 or the second air outlet side 4022 aligns with the air outlet gap 303, the spring pin 6 is engaged in the limiting groove 8 to restrict the sliding of the flow guide component 4.
[0046] Based on the above structure, refer to Figures 1-8 It can be seen that the horizontally air-out straightening comb in this solution can use the air-guiding structure on the air-guiding component 4 to guide the airflow generated by the hot air device 2 to the side of the air outlet gap 303 and blow it obliquely towards the air outlet gap 303. After the airflow flows out of the air outlet gap 303, it will move along the outer side of the baffle 301 in a streamlined shape and be captured by the air pressure difference generated by the airflow at the adjacent air outlet gap 303, accelerating the flow and making the airflow spread flat on the surface of the ventilation component 3. This airflow flow mode is oblique blowing out, which will not blow directly on the scalp, reducing the risk of scalp burn. In addition, when the combing direction is in line with the direction of the airflow, the airflow matches the direction of the hair falling, reducing the situation of hair flying and messy hair after drying.
[0047] In this embodiment, a horizontally air-discharge hair straightener can switch the airflow direction of the hair straightener according to the sliding of the airflow guide component 4. Users can adjust the airflow direction according to their own hairstyle needs, making the hair straightener more versatile and convenient to use. Example 2
[0048] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further defines a horizontally vented hair straightener: the airflow guide 4 is connected to an operating component exposed outside the housing assembly 1, according to... Figures 9-13 As shown, the operating component includes a lever 9, one end of which is connected to the air guide component 4, and the other end of which extends from the side of the housing assembly 1 away from the air outlet 106. The middle part of the lever 9 is hinged to the housing assembly 1. Figure 11 , 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the lever 9 includes a rod 901 exposed on the back of the outer casing 101. A connecting post 902 protrudes from the outer wall of the rod 901. A fork 903 is provided at the end of the connecting post 902 away from the rod 901. A pair of connecting petals 10 protrude from the heat-insulating inner frame 102. A pair of positioning posts 11 that can be hinged to the fork 903 protrude from the connecting petals 10. The end of the fork 903 is connected to the flow guide component 4. Figure 13 As shown, a clearance groove 12 is formed at the connection between the flow divider blade 105 and the partition plate 104 for the fork 903 to pass through. The flow guide component 4 is provided with a slot 13 for the insert to be connected. The outer shell 101 and the heat insulation inner frame 102 are provided with clearance holes 14 for the connecting post 902 to pass through. When the lever 9 rotates around the positioning post 11, the fork 903 slides laterally in the clearance groove 12 and the connecting post 902 slides laterally in the clearance hole 14, so that the lever 9 can rotate independently of the housing assembly 1 to drive the flow guide component 4.
[0049] according to Figure 10 , 14 As shown, the elastic element includes a spring pin 6 that is elastically telescopically disposed on the housing assembly 1 and abuts against the flow guide component 4. In this embodiment, a second mounting position 15 for mounting the spring pin 6 is formed on the flow divider blade 105 and the partition plate 104. A limiting groove 8 for the spring pin 6 to be inserted is provided on the side of the flow guide component 4 facing the flow divider blade 105. Two limiting grooves 8 are distributed at intervals along the sliding direction of the flow guide component 4.
[0050] Based on the above structure, refer to Figures 9-14 It can be seen that: considering that the position of the dial 5 on the horizontal air outlet straight hair comb in Embodiment 1 is on the same side as the ventilation component 3, if the finger is burned by hot air when the dial 5 is turned in the blowing state, the dial 9 is set on the back of the housing assembly 1 in this solution to reduce the probability of being burned when switching the air direction.
[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
