Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an air outlet structure for a hair styling tool. Background Technology

[0002] Existing hair styling tools, such as straighteners and dryers, typically employ a structure with main and auxiliary clamps to hold and style hair. To meet the needs of the blow-drying function, some products incorporate independent drive mechanisms and air duct systems within the main and auxiliary clamps, achieving dual-sided airflow. However, this design often results in complex product structures and increased size. Furthermore, the need to control two separate drive mechanisms not only increases energy consumption but also reduces the overall system's stability and reliability.

[0003] Furthermore, existing technologies have attempted to supply air to multiple components using a single drive unit. However, due to the lack of an effective air duct connection mechanism between the main and auxiliary clamps, it is difficult to achieve automatic switching and connection of airflow paths during the opening and closing of the clamps, thus limiting the synergy and continuity of the air supply function. In particular, the continuous operation of the drive unit while the clamps are open can easily lead to energy waste and even pose certain safety hazards.

[0004] This utility model was developed precisely because of the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a high-efficiency and compact air outlet structure for hair styling tools.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a hair styling tool air outlet structure, including a main clamp and a secondary clamp, which are rotatably connected at their rear ends so that their front ends can be closed or separated. The main clamp has a first air duct inside, an air inlet at the rear connecting the first air duct to the outside, and a first main air outlet at the front connecting to the first air duct. The main clamp has a driving device inside for driving airflow from the air inlet to the first main air outlet. The secondary clamp has a second air duct inside and a first secondary air outlet at the front connecting to the second air duct. A cooperating mechanism is provided between the main clamp and the secondary clamp to connect the second air duct and the first air duct when they are closed, so that when the main clamp and the secondary clamp are closed, the driving device can drive airflow from the air inlet to the first secondary air outlet.

[0008] As described above, the air outlet structure of the hair styling tool includes a mating mechanism comprising: a mating socket disposed on one of the two clamps of the main clamp or the secondary clamp, and a mating post disposed on the other clamp and capable of being inserted into the mating socket when the two clamps are closed, wherein the mating post is provided with a connecting channel for connecting the second air duct and the first air duct.

[0009] As described above, the air outlet structure of the hair styling tool includes a mating socket located in the middle of the main clamp and connected to the first air duct, and a mating post located on the secondary clamp and capable of being inserted into the mating socket when the secondary clamp and the main clamp are closed.

[0010] As described above, the main clamp of the hair styling tool also includes a detection device located at the mating port that can detect whether the mating post is inserted.

[0011] As described above, the air outlet structure of the hair styling tool has a first partition structure in the front inner cavity of the main clamp, which divides the front part of the first air duct into a first hot air cavity and a first cold air cavity. The first hot air cavity is equipped with a first heating device. The first main air outlet is connected to the first hot air cavity. The main clamp has a second main air outlet on the opposite side of the first main air outlet, which is connected to the first cold air cavity.

[0012] As described above, the air outlet structure of the hair styling tool has a second partition structure in the front inner cavity of the secondary clamp, which divides the front part of the second air duct into a second hot air cavity and a second cold air cavity. The second hot air cavity is equipped with a second heating device. The first secondary air outlet is connected to the second hot air cavity. The secondary clamp has a second secondary air outlet on the opposite side of the first secondary air outlet, which is connected to the second cold air cavity.

[0013] As described above, the air outlet structure of the hair styling tool has a first clamping part protruding towards the secondary clamping part at the front of the main clamping part, and a second clamping part protruding towards the main clamping part at the front of the secondary clamping part. When the main clamping part and the secondary clamping part are closed, the first clamping part and the second clamping part clamp and surround to form a hair clamping channel extending from the first main air outlet to the second main air outlet. The first main air outlet is located on the side of the first clamping part, and the first secondary air outlet is located on the side of the second clamping part, so that the orientation of the first main air outlet and the first secondary air outlet is consistent with the extension direction of the hair clamping channel.

[0014] As described above, the air outlet structure of the hair styling tool includes a main clamp with a first blower protruding to one side and a secondary clamp with a second blower protruding to one side. The first blower has a second main air outlet on the side facing the second blower, and the second blower has a second secondary air outlet on the side facing the first blower, such that both the second main air outlet and the second secondary air outlet face the hair clamping channel.

[0015] As described above, in the air outlet structure of the hair styling tool, when the main clamp and the auxiliary clamp are closed, the connecting channel is located in front of the drive device, and the connecting channel gradually tilts backward from the auxiliary clamp to the main clamp.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. Achieving simultaneous airflow from two clamping components with a single drive, this design is compact, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. By incorporating a drive unit within the main clamping component and combining it with a plug-in mechanism between the main and auxiliary clamping components, the air ducts are connected when the components are closed. Simultaneous airflow from both clamping components can be achieved using only one drive unit. This design not only effectively reduces the internal space occupied by the product and improves the integration and compactness of the overall structure, but also reduces energy consumption and improves energy efficiency. Furthermore, the connecting mechanism uses a pin-and-socket connection method, resulting in a simple structure, convenient assembly, and good stability and maintainability.

[0018] 2. Separate hot and cold air control enhances styling results and protects hair health. Both the main and auxiliary clips feature internal partitions, dividing the airflow into independent hot and cold air chambers, each equipped with a heating element and air outlet. This allows for a continuous "hot air shaping + cold air setting" process. During use, hot air blows along the hair's direction, softening the hair strands and making them easier to shape; subsequently, cold air quickly cools and sets the style, enhancing its durability. This alternating hot and cold design not only significantly improves the styling effect but also effectively reduces damage caused by high temperatures, balancing aesthetics and hair care needs.

[0019] 3. Intelligent detection mechanism enhances safety and ease of operation. A detection device is installed on the main clamp to check whether the main and auxiliary clamps are in a closed state, thereby controlling the start and stop of the drive device. It automatically stops working when the clamps open, avoiding energy waste or safety hazards caused by no-load operation, thus improving the product's intelligence level and operational safety. At the same time, this mechanism also helps extend the equipment's lifespan and improves overall reliability and user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] The orientations described in this utility model specification, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are based on the orientations in the accompanying drawings and are intended to facilitate the description of the relationships between the various components. They do not indicate the unique or absolute positional relationships between the various components, but are merely one embodiment of the utility model and are not a limitation on its implementation.

[0027] This embodiment introduces an air outlet structure for a hair styling tool. This tool is mainly used to clamp hair to straighten or curl it, and can also dry it; therefore, it can be defined as a hair straightener or a hair dryer. Specifically, as follows... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this hair styling tool includes a main clamp 1 and a secondary clamp 2. Their rear ends are rotatably connected, allowing their front ends to close or separate, thus clamping the hair. This design allows users to easily adjust the distance between the clamps to accommodate hair strands of different thicknesses, improving operational flexibility. The main clamp 1 has a first air duct 10, an air inlet 11 at the rear connecting the first air duct 10 to the outside, and a first main air outlet 12 at the front connecting to the first air duct 10. The main clamp 1 also includes a drive device 3, which typically uses a small motor and fan blades. By rotating the fan blades, it generates a stable airflow, which then flows from the air inlet 11 to the first main air outlet 12. This ensures sufficient airflow to help quickly dry or style the hair.

[0028] The auxiliary clamp 2 has a second air duct 20 inside and a first auxiliary air outlet 22 communicating with the second air duct 20 at its front. A mating mechanism is provided between the main clamp 1 and the auxiliary clamp 2 to connect the second air duct 20 and the first air duct 10 when they are closed. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the mating mechanism is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mating mechanism includes a mating slot 13 located in the middle of the main clamp 1 and communicating with the first air duct 10, and a mating post 23 located on the auxiliary clamp 2 and capable of being inserted into the mating slot 13 when the auxiliary clamp 2 and the main clamp 1 are closed. The mating post 23 has a connecting channel 230 for connecting the second air duct 20 and the first air duct 10. Thus, when the main clamp 1 and the auxiliary clamp 2 are closed, the drive device 3 can drive the airflow from the first air duct 10 into the second air duct 20, that is, the airflow flows from the air inlet 11 to the first auxiliary air outlet 22. Therefore, when the auxiliary clamp 2 and the main clamp 1 are closed, the same drive device 3 achieves synchronous airflow from both clamps. This makes the overall product structure more compact and allows for stable control of the airflow from both sides by controlling a single drive device 3. Furthermore, this design reduces energy consumption and increases the portability of the equipment. Of course, in addition to this embodiment, the mating mechanism can also take other forms, such as the mating post 23 being set on the main clamping member 1, and the mating port 13 being opened on the auxiliary clamping member 2.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure that the airflow can smoothly enter the second airflow duct 20 from the first air duct 10, such as... Figure 3 As shown, when the main clamp 1 and the auxiliary clamp 2 are closed, the connecting channel 230 is located in front of the drive device 3, and the connecting channel 230 gradually slopes backward from the auxiliary clamp 2 to the main clamp 1, so that the airflow flows obliquely upward and forward when it enters the second airflow duct 20 from the first air duct 10. This design helps to reduce turbulence, ensure a smooth airflow transition, and further improve work efficiency.

[0030] As a preferred option, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main clamp 1 is also equipped with a detection device 4 located at the mating socket 13, capable of detecting whether the mating post 23 is inserted. In this embodiment, the detection device 4 can be an infrared sensor or a distance sensor, or a self-resetting switch, capable of detecting whether the mating post 23 is inserted into the mating socket 13. Preferably, a control module such as a circuit board can be set in the main clamp 1, which controls whether the drive device 3 works by receiving the signal of whether the mating post 23 is inserted. For example, when the mating post 23 leaves the mating socket 13, the hair styling tool stops working, thereby making the product work more energy-efficiently and reliably. This intelligent control system not only saves electricity but also extends the service life of the equipment.

[0031] As a further optimized implementation method, such as Figure 4As shown, the front inner cavity of the main clamp 1 is provided with a first partition structure 14. The first partition structure 14 is a partition plate, which can be integrally injection molded from the shell of the main clamp 1. The first partition structure 14 divides the front part of the first air duct 10 into a first hot air chamber 101 and a first cold air chamber 102. The first hot air chamber 101 is provided with a first heating device 5, which can be a general electric heating copper tube, electric heating element, etc. The first main air outlet 12 is connected to the first hot air chamber 101. The main clamp 1 is provided with a second main air outlet 15 on the opposite side of the first main air outlet 12, which is connected to the first cold air chamber 102. This allows the airflow of the first air duct 10 to enter the first hot air chamber 101 and the first cold air chamber 102 respectively, and finally blow out cold air and hot air from the first main air outlet 12 and the second main air outlet 15 respectively. Similarly, the secondary clamp 2 can also be configured with the same structure. The front inner cavity of the secondary clamp 2 has a second partition structure 24, which divides the front part of the second air duct 20 into a second hot air chamber 201 and a second cold air chamber 202. The second hot air chamber 201 contains a second heating device 6. The first secondary air outlet 22 communicates with the second hot air chamber 201, and the secondary clamp 2 has a second secondary air outlet 25 on the opposite side of the first secondary air outlet 22, communicating with the second cold air chamber 202. This design achieves hot and cold zoning, allowing temperature adjustment as needed to meet the requirements of different hairstyles.

[0032] As a preferred option, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the main clamp 1 has a first clamping part 16 protruding towards the auxiliary clamp 2 at its front, and the auxiliary clamp 2 has a second clamping part 26 protruding towards the main clamp 1 at its front. When the main clamp 1 and the auxiliary clamp 2 are closed, the first clamping part 16 and the second clamping part 26 clamp and surround each other to form a hair clamping channel 7 extending from the first main air outlet 12 to the second main air outlet 15. The first main air outlet 12 is located on the side of the first clamping part 16, and the first auxiliary air outlet 22 is located on the side of the second clamping part 26, so that the orientation of the first main air outlet 12 and the first auxiliary air outlet 22 is consistent with the extension direction of the hair clamping channel 7. The main clamp 1 is provided with a first blower part 17 protruding to one side, and the auxiliary clamp 2 is provided with a second blower part 27 protruding to one side. The first blower part 17 has a second main air outlet 15 on the side facing the second blower part 27, and the second blower part 27 has a second auxiliary air outlet 25 on the side facing the first blower part 17, so that both the second main air outlet 15 and the second auxiliary air outlet 25 face the hair clamping channel 7.

[0033] In use, the hair is clamped in the hair clamping channel 7 from the first main air outlet 12 to the second main air outlet 15. Hot air is blown out along the direction of the hair through the first main air outlet 12 and the first auxiliary air outlet 22. The airflow is heated by the heating device as it passes through the hot air chamber. The hot air blown out along the direction of the hair allows the hair to receive heat over a wide area and evenly, smoothing and straightening the hair and making it malleable. Then, cold air is blown out through the second main air outlet 15 and the second auxiliary air outlet 25, which quickly cools down the malleable hair and sets it, achieving the effect of hot air shaping and cold air setting. By moving the product along the length of the hair, the hair passes through the hot air and cold air in sequence, achieving an excellent shaping effect. This design concept not only improves styling efficiency but also protects hair health and avoids damage caused by overheating.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
