[0042] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component that is centrally positioned therein. When a component is considered to be "set" on another component, it can be directly set on the other component or there may be a component that is centrally positioned therein.

[0044] Furthermore, terms such as "long," "short," "inner," and "outer" indicate orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have this specific orientation or operate in a specific orientational configuration. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations of this utility model.

[0045] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 The technical solution of this utility model will be further illustrated through specific implementation methods.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a hair dryer, including a housing 1, a comb assembly 2, and a blower assembly 3.

[0047] The outer casing 1 has an internal air duct 100 and an air inlet 200 communicating with the air duct 100. The outer casing 1 has a first recess 400 and a second recess 500 on opposite sides. The inner wall of the first recess 400 has an air outlet 300 communicating with the air duct 100. The first recess 400 is used to gather hair to the air outlet 300. The comb assembly 2 is disposed on the inner wall of the second recess 500. The second recess 500 is used to gather hair into the comb assembly 2. The blower assembly 3 is disposed in the outer casing 1 and located in the air duct 100. It is used to draw airflow into the air duct 100 through the air inlet 200 and to drive airflow from the air duct 100 to the air outlet 300.

[0048] Specifically, in some embodiments, the interior of the outer casing 1 is hollow to form an air duct 100. In this case, by setting a blower assembly 3 inside the outer casing 1, the blower assembly 3 can create an air pressure difference in the air duct 100, thereby drawing outside air into the air duct 100 through the air inlet 200, and the airflow finally flows out from the air duct 100 through the air outlet 300, realizing the function of circulating air.

[0049] At the same time, the first recess 400 and the second recess 500 are respectively recessed from the outside to the inside on opposite sides of the outer casing 1, and according to the attached... Figure 1 , 2 From the perspective shown, the first recess 400 and the second recess 500 respectively penetrate through both sides of the outer shell in the horizontal direction, and are also opened in the horizontal direction opposite to the outer shell 1, ultimately forming a recess structure with three adjacent sides that are horizontally connected in sequence, higher on the top and bottom sides and lower in the middle.

[0050] At this time, the hair can pass horizontally through the three adjacent sides of the first recess 400 or the second recess 500. The hair can be supported by the upper and lower sides of the first recess 400 or the second recess 500, and thus fall into the lowest point of the first recess 400 or the second recess 500, so that the hair can be gathered and brought closer to the air outlet 300 or the comb assembly 2. When it is necessary to switch between blow-drying and combing functions, the user only needs to turn his wrist directly, which is convenient and efficient.

[0051] This application provides a hair dryer. By providing a first recess 400 and a second recess 500 on opposite sides of the outer casing 1, and providing an air outlet 300 on the inner wall of the first recess 400 and a comb assembly 2 on the inner wall of the second recess 500, the user can switch between blow-drying and combing functions by simply flipping the outer casing 1. The switching action conforms to the rotation direction of the human wrist joint, meets ergonomic design, and significantly improves the user experience. The problems of inconvenience and insufficient user experience of hair dryers are solved.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 1and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a mounting portion 11 and a handle portion 12. A first recess 400 and a second recess 500 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the mounting portion 11; one end of the handle portion 12 is connected to the mounting portion 11, and the mounting portion 11 and the handle portion 12 are internally interconnected to form an air duct 100; an air inlet 200 is disposed on the handle portion 12, and a blower assembly 3 is disposed inside the handle portion 12.

[0053] Specifically, the outer contour of the mounting part 11 and the contour of the handle part 12 are respectively cylindrical, and the length direction of the mounting part 11 is perpendicular to the length direction of the handle part 12. One end of the handle part 12 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the mounting part 11. Both are hollow inside and interconnected, thus forming an air duct 100.

[0054] Based on this, the air inlet 200 is located at the end of the handle portion 12 away from the mounting portion 11 and is disposed through the side of the handle portion 12. At the same time, the first recess 400 and the second recess 500 are respectively recessed on opposite sides of the peripheral area of ​​the mounting portion 11. At this time, the air outlet 300 is disposed through the inner wall of the first recess 400, and the comb assembly 2 is installed on the inner wall of the second recess 500.

[0055] It should be explained that the inner wall of the second recess 500 is not used to deliver airflow. On the one hand, it can concentrate the airflow at the air outlet 300 to obtain a more stable airflow trajectory. On the other hand, it can also separate the air outlet function from the combing function, making it easier for customers to select the specific function.

[0056] Based on the above configuration, the mounting part 11 provides space for the first recess 400, the second recess 500, the air outlet 300, and the comb assembly 2, while the handle part 12 provides a mounting position for the blower assembly 3, forming a unidirectional airflow path 100. Furthermore, the air inlet 200 at the end of the handle is less likely to be blocked during use, which is beneficial for stable airflow from the blower. In addition, the handle part 12 is also convenient for the user's hand to grip and operate. Therefore, the overall structure of the outer casing 1 is reasonably designed, making full use of the structural space. Based on the above configuration, it also helps to optimize the structural compactness of the blower.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first recess 400 is an arc-shaped recess, and / or the second recess 500 is an arc-shaped recess.

[0058] For details, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2By setting the first recess 400 and / or the second recess 500 as arc-shaped recesses, a "C-shaped" structural outline can be formed. This type of outline is more in line with the human head outline, making it easier to blow-dry and comb hair. At the same time, it can also enhance the structural design of the outer shell 1 and optimize the aesthetics of the structure.

[0059] In this embodiment, both the first recess 400 and the second recess 500 adopt an arc-shaped concave contour, thus forming a "double C" contour, resulting in a reasonable and aesthetically pleasing overall structure. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the inner walls of the first recess 400 and the second recess 500 may also be polygonal, wavy, or other irregular contours. Regardless of the specific structure of the concave contours of the first recess 400 and the second recess 500, they should all be included within the scope of this explanation.

[0060] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 Some users also need to straighten or style their hair while combing it. Based on this, the hair dryer also includes a heating element 4 and a comb assembly 2 including a heat-conducting comb 21. The heating element 4 is connected to the heat-conducting comb 21 and is used to transfer heat to the heat-conducting comb 21.

[0061] Specifically, the heat-conducting comb 21 can be made of heat-conducting material. In some embodiments, the heat-conducting comb 21 includes a heat-conducting plate 211 and comb teeth 212 with a rod-shaped structure. One end of the comb teeth 212 is perpendicularly connected to the heat-conducting plate 211, and multiple comb teeth 212 are arranged in an array on the heat-conducting plate 211. Multiple comb teeth 212 can be inserted between the hair and realize the combing function. It is understood that the specific number of comb teeth 212 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the specific number of comb teeth 212 is not limited here.

[0062] Based on this, an assembly hole (not shown in the figure) can be provided through the second recess 500. By inserting the heat-conducting plate 211 into the assembly hole and making the comb tooth 212 extend out of the second recess 500, the heat-conducting comb 21 can be installed.

[0063] Furthermore, the heating element 4 can be attached to the side of the heat-conducting plate 211 facing away from the comb teeth 212. The heating element 4 can be a ceramic heating element, which can convert electrical energy into heat when connected to a power source. The specific principle of the heating element 4 will not be elaborated here. Based on this, when the heating element 4 heats up, the heat will be directly transferred to the heat-conducting plate 211. Since the entire heat-conducting comb 21 is made of heat-conducting material, the heat can be further transferred to the comb teeth 212, so that when the user combs the hair through the comb teeth 212, the hair can be heated and styled, thereby meeting the user's styling and straightening needs.

[0064] Based on the above settings, the functionality of the hair dryer can be further optimized, providing users with a better user experience.

[0065] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 The comb assembly 2 also includes a heat-insulating comb 22, which is arranged adjacent to the heat-conducting comb 21, and the length of the heat-insulating comb 22 is greater than the length of the heat-conducting comb 21.

[0066] Specifically, the heat-insulating comb 22 has a rod-shaped structure, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the second recess 500 and parallel to the comb teeth 212. The heat-insulating comb 22 is made of heat-insulating material.

[0067] Based on the above settings, since the heat-insulating comb 22 is longer than the heat-conducting comb 21, the heat-insulating comb 22 will come into contact with the skin first, thereby preventing the comb teeth 212 of the heat-conducting comb 21 from coming into direct contact with the skin, thus achieving the effect of preventing burns, making the hair dryer safer and more reliable to use.

[0068] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 The heat-insulating comb 22 is provided in multiple rows, and the multiple rows of heat-insulating comb 22 are spaced apart along one side of the outer shell 1 to the other side. There is a accommodating space between any two adjacent rows of heat-insulating comb 22, and the heat-conducting comb 21 is located in the accommodating space.

[0069] Specifically, the number of heat-insulating combs 22 can be two or three rows, and the specific number of heat-insulating combs 22 can be adjusted according to the density and arrangement of the comb teeth 212. No specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0070] Based on the above configuration, the multi-row heat-insulating comb 22 can provide support on both sides of the comb teeth 212, so that the user's skin is less likely to come into contact with the comb teeth 212 due to angle deviation during the combing process. This is equivalent to avoiding skin contact with the comb teeth 212 from multiple directions, and the safety of using the hair dryer is further optimized and improved.

[0071] Optionally, the heat-conducting comb 21 is made of iron, copper, or aluminum. Iron, copper, and aluminum are all heat-conducting materials, capable of meeting the requirements for efficient heat transfer. It is understood that the specific material of the heat-conducting comb 21 can also be an alloy; any alloy material containing iron, copper, or aluminum should be considered within the scope of this application. Furthermore, in practical applications, the heat-conducting comb 21 can also use other types of metallic or non-metallic heat-conducting materials. Any material capable of heat conduction can be used and should be included in the interpretation of equivalent means in this solution.

[0072] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The hair dryer also includes a nozzle 5, on which a first magnetic element 51 is provided. The inner wall of the air outlet 300 is provided with a second magnetic element 52 that magnetically attracts the first magnetic element 51. When the first magnetic element 51 magnetically attracts the second magnetic element 52, the nozzle 5 is connected to the air outlet 300.

[0073] Optionally, the first magnetic element 51 is a permanent magnet, and the second magnetic element 52 is a soft magnet.

[0074] Optionally, the first magnetic element 51 is a soft magnet, and the second magnetic element 52 is a permanent magnet.

[0075] By inserting the nozzle 5 into the air outlet 300, the nozzle 5 can be installed due to the mutual magnetic induction of the first magnetic element 51 and the second magnetic element 52. The nozzle 5 can change the final airflow pattern, thus providing users with a different user experience. Furthermore, due to the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 51 and the second magnetic element 52, the nozzle 5 can rotate freely when installed in the air outlet 300.

[0076] It should be explained that in some other embodiments, the nozzle 5 and the air outlet 300 can also be detachably connected by a threaded connection or a snap-fit ​​fixing method. The specific disassembly and assembly structure of the nozzle 5 is not limited here. Regardless of the specific disassembly and assembly method used, it should be included in the scope of this solution.

[0077] Optionally, the blower nozzle 5 can be any one of the following: a concentrator nozzle, a diffuser nozzle, a smoothing nozzle, or a styling nozzle.

[0078] Based on the above settings, different nozzles 5 can be used to enable the hair dryer to achieve different care functions, such as concentrated air, gentle air, smoothing, and styling, which can ultimately meet the different needs of customers and further optimize and improve the product user experience.

[0079] In some embodiments, replay Figure 2 The blower assembly 3 includes a fan 31 and a heating element 32. The fan 31 is disposed inside the housing 1; the heating element 32 is disposed inside the housing 1, and the fan 31 is used to drive airflow through the heating element 32.

[0080] Specifically, the fan 31 can be fixedly installed on the inner wall of the handle part 12. It is used to generate directional airflow, so that the airflow can enter the air duct 100 from the air inlet 200, flow through the air duct 100 to the air outlet 300, and finally send the airflow out through the air outlet 300. The airflow can flow stably and smoothly in the air duct 100. In addition, the heating frame 32 has elements such as heating wire or ceramic heating element, which can convert electrical energy into heat energy by connecting to a power source, and further dissipate the heat into the air duct 100. At this time, under the action of airflow, it can absorb heat and form hot air, realizing the hot air function.

[0081] Based on this, in some embodiments, the fan 31 and the heating element 32 can be further connected to the control element of the hair dryer. The control element can control the fan 31 and the heating element 32 to start and stop. In hot air mode, the control element controls the heating element 32 and the fan 31 to start simultaneously, so that hot air can be blown out. In addition, in cold air mode, only the fan 31 needs to be started and the heating element 32 needs to be turned off to blow out cold air. Therefore, cold air and hot air level control functions can be further obtained, which are suitable for different usage scenarios.

[0082] The hair dryer provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0083] 1. If the user needs to switch between the blow-drying and combing functions, the user can simply flip the handle 12 to switch, which is convenient.

[0084] 2. The structure is ergonomically designed, providing a high level of user experience.

[0085] 3. The comb component 2 has styling and straightening functions, and is less likely to burn hair, making it safer and more reliable to use.

[0086] Therefore, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
