Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hair styling devices, and in particular to a hair styling device. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional electric hair straighteners use high temperatures (usually 120°C to 230°C) to apply pressure and stretch the hair, breaking hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds, forcing the hair fibers to remain straight after cooling.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN101815450A related to steam straightening products discloses a technology in which steam is added first and then heated and shaped by an aluminum plate. The steam can soften the hair by opening hydrogen bonds before styling, which can increase the straightening effect. However, the hair still passes through an electric heating plate. Generally, the voltage heating plate has a high temperature of more than 180 degrees Celsius, which will still cause damage to the hair.

[0004] The patent for a hot air hair straightener, with publication number GB2608155A, uses hot air to straighten hair, unlike traditional electric heating methods. The hot air temperature is relatively low, generally around 100-140 degrees Celsius, which can reduce hair damage. However, because the hot air temperature is too low, the straightening effect is poor, it is difficult to straighten the hair, and user feedback is unfavorable. Utility Model Content

[0005] The physical principle behind how heated hair styling tools (such as straighteners, curling irons, and hair dryers) change hair shape through heat mainly involves the thermal denaturation and thermoplastic deformation of keratin in the hair. The specific physical mechanisms are as follows:

[0006] 1. Basic structure of hair

[0007] The main component of hair is keratin, a fibrous protein rich in disulfide bonds (—S—S—) and hydrogen bonds. The secondary structure (α-helix) and tertiary structure (cross-linked network) of keratin determine the elasticity and shape of hair.

[0008] 2. The mechanism by which heat affects hair

[0009] Hydrogen bond breaking and reconstruction

[0010] When the temperature rises (above approximately 60°C), the hydrogen bonds (weaker forces) in the hair are broken, causing the α-helix structure to temporarily unwind, making the hair soft and malleable. At this point, the hair shape can be changed by external force (such as stretching with a flat iron or wrapping with a curling iron). After cooling, the hydrogen bonds reform in their new positions, and the hair is fixed in the new shape (temporary styling).

[0011] Disulfide bond breaking and permanent deformation

[0012] At higher temperatures (above approximately 140°C), the disulfide bonds (stronger covalent bonds) in keratin may break. If external force is applied at this point, the hair will be permanently deformed (such as by chemical perming or high-temperature straightening). However, excessive heating can cause irreversible damage to the disulfide bonds, making the hair dry and brittle.

[0013] Physical manifestations of thermal damage

[0014] Overheating can lead to:

[0015] Hair cuticles lift or peel off (rough surface), keratin fibers become hollow (hair loses elasticity), and disulfide bonds break and cannot be repaired (permanent damage).

[0016] Summary (of the technical problems existing in current electric hair styling tools)

[0017] The essence of electric hair styling tools is to change the bonding state of keratin through heat energy, achieving styling through temporary rearrangement of hydrogen bonds or permanent changes in disulfide bonds. Proper control of temperature and duration is crucial; otherwise, it may exceed the elastic limit of the hair, causing physical damage.

[0018] In view of this, the present invention proposes a hot air + steam straightener technical solution, which can achieve the following technical effects.

[0019] I. Steam reduces heat damage

[0020] The thermal buffering effect of moisture

[0021] Steam (100°C water vapor) can form a high-temperature water film on the surface of the hair, reducing direct heat damage through the following mechanisms:

[0022] Uniform heat transfer: Steam has better thermal conductivity than dry heat, avoiding local overheating (such as "hot spots" caused by uneven contact of traditional clamps).

[0023] Gentle warming: When water vapor releases latent heat (heat of vaporization), the temperature stabilizes at around 100℃, slowing down the rate at which hair heats up and reducing sudden denaturation of keratin.

[0024] Maintain hair moisture content

[0025] Traditional high-temperature tools quickly evaporate the moisture inside the hair, causing the hair cuticles to crack. Steam, on the other hand, can replenish moisture while heating, reducing cuticle lifting (reducing friction and static electricity).

[0026] Disulfide bond protection

[0027] A steam environment may delay the breaking temperature of disulfide bonds (requiring temperatures above 140°C), relying more on hydrogen bond recombination rather than covalent bond destruction in the 100-140°C range, thereby reducing permanent damage.

[0028] II. Steam Enhancement of Straight Hair Effect (Taking Straight Hair in Hair Styling as an Example)

[0029] Enhance the plasticity of keratin

[0030] When moisture penetrates the hair cortex, it weakens hydrogen bonds and temporarily stretches the keratin structure, making the hair more susceptible to stretching and deformation under external forces (such as the tension of a hair straightener). Experiments have shown that in environments with humidity levels above 50%, the yield strength of hair decreases by approximately 30%.

[0031] Temporary softening of hair cuticles

[0032] Steam softens the cuticle layer of hair, making the hair surface smoother and reducing friction resistance when the flat iron is used, thereby improving the smoothness and shine of straightened hair.

[0033] Thermo-hydraulic synergy

[0034] Steam straighteners typically use a "steam first, then hot air" process:

[0035] Steam stage (100℃): Opens the hair cuticles and softens the hair.

[0036] Hot air stage (100-140℃): Styling is done when the hair is in a highly malleable state, requiring a lower temperature than traditional dry heat (usually 180℃).

[0037] To achieve one or more of the above objectives or other objectives, this utility model proposes a hair styling device, comprising: a first clamping arm having a first panel and a second clamping arm having a second panel; the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are hinged together; the first panel and the second panel are used to clamp and pull hair.

[0073] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0074] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0075] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] Reference Figures 1 to 9 An embodiment of the present invention provides a hair styling device, comprising: a first clamping arm 1 having a first panel 11 and a second clamping arm 2 having a second panel 21; the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are hinged together; the first panel 11 and the second panel 21 are used to clamp and pull hair when in use;

[0077] The first panel 11 has a first air zone 111 and a first steam zone 112 separated by a separating strip 17; the second panel 21 has a second air zone 211 and a second steam zone 212 separated by a separating strip 17; when the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are closed, the first air zone 111 and the second air zone 211 form a hot air zone 3, and the first steam zone 112 and the second steam zone 212 are attached to form a steam zone 4; wherein...

[0078] The first steam zone 112 and the second steam zone 212 each have a steam inlet 1121 on at least one side.

[0079] In this embodiment, after the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are hinged, either or both of the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 can rotate around the hinge point, that is, the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 can move between the open position and the closed position. When open, the first panel 11 and the second panel 21 separate, forming a space between the first panel 11 and the second panel 21 to receive hair. When closed, the first panel 11 and the second panel 21 move closer to the hair, clamping a bunch of hair. Taking the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 as examples where both are elongated, the length direction of the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 is longitudinal, and the direction parallel to the first panel 11 and the second panel 21 and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is transverse. Taking the first clamping arm 1 as an example, the aforementioned separating strip 17 is generally parallel or nearly parallel to the longitudinal direction between the first air zone 111 and the first steam zone 112. The first air zone 111 is a rectangular or near-rectangular area enclosed by the dividing strip 17. When the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are closed, the first air zone 111 and the second air zone 211 enclose the hot air zone 3, which is sealed relative to the steam zone 4 to prevent the hot air and steam from interfering with each other and reducing the efficiency of the steam and hot air processes when styling hair. Furthermore, when styling hair, the hair can move laterally from front to back or from back to front. That is, when styling hair, the hair can pass through the steam zone 4 first and then the hot air zone 3, or vice versa; the former is preferred. It is worth mentioning that one side of the first air zone 111 or the second air zone 211 has a hot air inlet 2111, and the other side has a first hot air outlet 1111. The aforementioned hot air inlet 2111 refers to the inlet for supplying hot air to the hot air zone 3, which is connected to the hot air source of the hair styling device. The first hot air outlet 1111 refers to the airflow outlet of the hot air zone 3. The steam inlet 1121 refers to the inlet for supplying steam to the steam zone 4, which is connected to the steam source of the hair styling device. Since the steam zone 4 is not sealed to the outside like the hot air zone 3, there is no need to set a special outlet for steam to flow out of the steam zone; the steam can flow out from the gap between the first panel 11 and the second panel 21. It should also be noted that the hot air inlet 2111 and the steam inlet 1121 can be set on different clamping arms. This allows the hot air generating component and the steam generating component to be set on different clamping arms, so as to make more reasonable use of the clamping arm space. If the hot air generating component and the steam generating component are set on the same clamping arm, it will result in the clamping arm being too large and unable to meet market requirements. An embodiment of the setting of the hot air generating component and the steam generating component can be found below.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first clamping arm 1 is provided with a water tank 12, a water pump 13 and a steam generating module 14; the water tank 12, the water pump 13 and the steam generating module 14 are connected through a water pipe 15, and the steam outlet of the steam generating module 14 is connected to the steam inlet 1121.

[0081] In this embodiment, the aforementioned steam generating assembly may include a first clamping arm 1 equipped with a water tank 12, a water pump 13, a water pipe 15, and a steam generating module 14; Figure 3 For example, the water tank 12 can be located near the handle of the hair styling device. Since the water tank 12 is relatively heavy after being filled with water, its location near the handle shifts the center of gravity of the hair styling device towards the rear, making it easier for the user to hold and operate. Preferably, the water tank 12 can be a detachable water tank with a shape adapted to the handle's contour for easy water filling. The water pump 13 and water pipe 15 can use similar components from commercially available hair styling devices with steam functions, and will not be described in detail here. It is worth mentioning that the steam generating module is configured to deliver steam to the steam zone at a flow rate of 0.05 ml / min to 6 ml / min.

[0082] In some embodiments, the steam generating module 14 has a heat source 141, a first heating chamber 142 and a second heating chamber 143; the first heating chamber 142 is in close contact with one side of the heat source 141, and the second heating chamber 143 is in close contact with the other side of the heat source 141.

[0083] The first heating chamber 142 is connected to the water pump 13 through a water pipe 15, and the first heating chamber 142 is connected to the second heating chamber 143; the steam outlet is located in the second heating chamber 143.

[0084] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The steam generating module 14 is a box-shaped structure with three adjacent chambers. The heat source 141 is formed by housing a heating wire or heating element in one of the chambers. The other two chambers are a first heating chamber 142 and a second heating chamber 143, which are connected to each other. Preferably, the box-shaped structure is elongated, so that the distance between the first heating chamber 142 and the second heating chamber 143 and the heat source 141 is not too large, which is beneficial for raising the temperature of the entire heating chamber to a more uniform level. At the same time, the flow channels formed by the two heating chambers are relatively long and are closely attached to the heat source 141, resulting in more efficient heat generation. The longer flow channels also allow for a longer vaporization time, which is beneficial for the complete vaporization of water. In particular, the first heating chamber 142 and the second heating chamber 143 can be sealed on the side with waterproof silicone plugs, and a connecting channel is provided on the inner side of the silicone plug to connect the first heating chamber 142 and the second heating chamber 143. In use, the water pump 13 draws water to the first heating chamber 142, where it is first heated and vaporized, and then fully vaporized in the second heating chamber 143. The steam outlet is located in the second heating chamber 143. The steam inlet on the first clamping arm 1 can be configured as an array of mesh holes, which are connected to the steam outlet of the second heating chamber 143.

[0085] Combining the two embodiments above, since hair styling cannot be completed in one clamping motion, to facilitate user operation, the water pump can be configured to stop working when the first and second clamping arms are open, and to start working again when the first and second clamping arms are closed. Furthermore, the airflow generating device can be configured to slow down or stop working when the first and second clamping arms are open, and to speed up or restart working when the first and second clamping arms are closed again. Simultaneously, the hair styling device is configured such that the hair strand passes through the steam zone first and then the hot air zone during use, which is more conducive to hair styling.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first clamping arm 1 is further provided with a second hot air outlet 1112, and the air duct between the first hot air outlet 1111 and the second hot air outlet 1112 surrounds the steam generating module 14.

[0087] In this embodiment, the air duct between the first hot air outlet 1111 and the second hot air outlet 1112 surrounds the steam generating module 14. This air duct can be an arc-shaped air duct pipe 16, which can use the waste heat of the hot air to heat the heating chamber in the steam generating module 14. Since the hot air is set at 140°C, the waste heat temperature generally exceeds 100°C. The waste heat of the hot air promotes the generation of steam in the steam generating module 14, which helps to improve energy utilization and enhance the thermal efficiency of the entire hair styling device.

[0088] In some embodiments, the dividing strip 17 on at least one side of the first panel or the second panel is an elastic strip.

[0089] In this embodiment, the divider strips 17 on the first or second panel can all be elastic strips or only one side can be an elastic strip. The elastic strips can be made of soft rubber materials, such as silicone or synthetic rubber, to provide elasticity. A metal layer, such as copper, can be wrapped around the outside of these soft rubber materials. These metal layers have good deformation capabilities and better high-temperature resistance. Alternatively, when the divider strip is made of a non-elastic material, such as a metal sheet, a spring can be placed under the metal sheet to provide elasticity. Similarly, when the elastic strip is made of an elastic material, a spring can still be placed underneath to enhance elasticity. The use of the above materials allows the part of the divider strip 17 that clamps the hair to deform during hair styling, ensuring that the gaps in the divider strip 17 remain closed during use, and the hot air zone 3 and the steam zone 4 remain sealed and separated throughout the process.

[0090] In some embodiments, the second clamping arm 2 is provided with an airflow generating device 22, an airflow heating module 23 and a PCB board 24; the airflow generating device 22, the airflow heating module 23 and the steam generating module 14 are all electrically connected to the PCB board 24; the airflow heating module 23 is used to heat the airflow generated by the airflow generating device 22 and send it to the hot air inlet 2111.

[0091] In this embodiment, in conjunction with the previous embodiment, the hot air generating assembly includes an airflow generating device 22 and an airflow heating module 23. Notably, the air duct between the airflow generating device 22 and the airflow heating module 23 is V-shaped, which can increase the flow rate and increase the air supply volume. Furthermore, the steam generating assembly is located in the first clamping arm 1, occupying a significant amount of space. Since the first clamping arm 1 does not increase in size by a factor of two compared to current mainstream clamping arms, there is no space left to accommodate the airflow generating device 22, the airflow heating module 23, and the PCB board 24. Therefore, the airflow generating device 22, the airflow heating module 23, and the PCB board 24 are placed in the second clamping arm 2. This structural layout allows for efficient use of space, achieving a more balanced utilization of the space between the two clamping arms. Finally, it should be noted that the steam generating assembly, control buttons, display modules, etc., on the first clamping arm 1 can be connected to the PCB board 24 via wires that bypass the tail of the hair styling device. Similarly, control buttons, display modules, etc., can also be installed on the second clamping arm 2 as needed. The air inlet of the airflow generator 22 can be located at the tail of the hair styling device, and a filter can be installed to filter the air and prevent hair from getting caught. The specific effects are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0092] In some embodiments, the airflow heating module 23 has a heating chamber 231, which is connected to the airflow generating device 22 through an air duct. A heating element 232 is provided in the heating chamber 231, and the air outlet 2311 of the heating chamber 231 is opposite to the air duct inlet 2312.

[0093] In this embodiment, the air outlet 2311 of the heating chamber 231 is opposite to the air duct inlet 2312, which can appropriately reduce the flow velocity and allow the air to be fully heated in the heating chamber 231. Preferably, the air outlet 2311 of the heating chamber 231 is narrower than the air duct inlet 2312, the air duct in the heating chamber 231 is wider, and the air outlet 2311 and the air duct inlet 2312 have a 180-degree turn. The air flow velocity in the heating chamber 231 is slow, which is conducive to fully heating to reach the desired temperature. Finally, when the air flows out, the air duct is narrower, which can increase the flow velocity.

[0094] In some embodiments, the heating element 232 is a multilayer heating element or a multilayer heating wire.

[0095] In this embodiment, multi-layer heating elements or multi-layer heating wires can increase the contact area between the heating elements or heating wires and the air, thereby improving thermal efficiency.

[0096] In some embodiments, a temperature detection module 233 is provided inside the hot air inlet 2111, and the temperature detection module 233 is electrically connected to the PCB board 24.

[0097] In this embodiment, the temperature detection module 233 can be a PCBA board with multiple NTCs, located inside the hot air inlet 2111. In this way, with the setting of the gear, multiple temperature settings can be performed.

[0098] In some embodiments, the airflow generating device 22 is a fan motor, the second clamping arm 2 is provided with a motor groove 25 recessed toward the first clamping arm 1, and the fan motor is disposed in the motor groove 25; the outer wall of the motor groove 25 is provided with a slot 251, and the first clamping arm 1 is provided with a movable buckle 18; the slot 251 and the movable buckle 18 are used to lock the hair styling device when stored.

[0099] In this embodiment, the movable buckle 18 and the slot 251 are designed to take full advantage of the structural features of the motor's location, requiring almost no additional space to configure the movable buckle 18 and the slot 251, and achieving the effect of closing the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 when stored.

[0100] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
