Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handheld devices, and more particularly to a vapor atomization structure for handheld devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, curling irons have gradually entered consumers' lives. A curling iron is a high-temperature electronic product used to soften and curl hair. It uses an electrically heated mechanism to heat the hair, creating high temperatures that soften the hair during the curling process. However, high temperatures cause hair to lose moisture, leading to dryness and damage. External spray devices are needed to replenish moisture and prevent excessive dryness, or a steam generator can be integrated into the curling iron to provide steam hydration during the curling process. Currently, most steam generators on the market heat a heat-conducting plate to create high temperatures, then drip fluid to generate high-temperature steam. This method produces a large amount of steam, and the water evaporates quickly upon direct contact with the high-temperature heating plate, making indirect heating impossible. This results in a poor user experience, and the heating plate is prone to damage from prolonged exposure to high and localized low temperatures, also increasing costs. Utility Model Content
