[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a silent hot air gun with advantages such as good noise reduction effect and high user comfort. It solves the problems of the direct-blowing structure of the main body of existing hot air guns, which causes violent turbulence and generates large radiated noise, leading to occupational hearing damage with long-term use, and the increased vibration of the handle due to airflow back force caused by airflow pressure fluctuations.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a silent hot air gun, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A silencing hot air gun in this embodiment includes a hot air gun body 1 and an air outlet 2 fixedly connected to one side of the hot air gun body 1. A silencing component is provided at the end of the air outlet 2 away from the hot air gun body 1, and a wind buffer component for stabilizing airflow is provided on the outside of the air outlet 2. The silencing component includes a tapered tube 3 fixedly connected to the end of the air outlet 2 away from the hot air gun body 1. A throat 4 is fixedly connected to the left end of the tapered tube 3, and a diffuser 5 is fixedly connected to the left end of the throat 4.

[0027] The outer diameter of the air outlet 2 is matched with the inner diameter of the tapered tube 3, and the tapered tube 3 is sleeved on the outside of the air outlet 2.

[0028] Specifically, the throat 4 is a hollow cylinder, and a number of heat dissipation fins 8 are fixedly connected to the outside of the throat 4. The heat dissipation fins 8 are arranged in a ring shape on the outside of the throat 4. By setting the heat dissipation fins 8 in a ring shape, the contact area between the throat 4 and the air is increased, which can quickly dissipate the heat inside the throat 4, reduce the temperature of the throat 4, and improve the reliability and service life of the hot air gun.

[0029] It should be noted that the external threaded connection of the converging tube 3 has locking bolts 9 extending into it. The end of the locking bolt 9 away from the converging tube 3 abuts against the outer wall of the air outlet 2. There are four locking bolts 9, arranged in a ring shape on the outside of the converging tube 3. When the hot air gun body 1 generates hot air, the hot air is blown outward through the air outlet 2. The hot air enters the silencer assembly and first passes through the converging tube 3. The diameter of the converging tube 3 gradually decreases, causing the hot air to flow faster and the pressure to decrease during its flow. Then, the hot air enters the throat 4, which is a hollow cylinder. The hot air maintains a high flow rate and low pressure within the throat 4, forming a stable airflow. Finally, the hot air enters the diffuser 5, whose diameter gradually increases. During its flow, the hot air gradually decreases in flow rate and gradually increases in pressure, returning to near atmospheric pressure. Through this gradually narrowing, equal-diameter, and gradually expanding structural design, the hot air achieves a smooth transition in pressure and flow rate within the silencing component, effectively reducing noise caused by sudden changes in airflow and achieving a silencing effect.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the wind buffer assembly includes a rotating shaft 6 rotatably connected inside the throat 4, and a wind vane 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 6.

[0031] The airflow vane 7 is rotatably connected inside the throat tube 4, and its outer diameter matches the inner diameter of the throat tube 4. When the hot air gun body 1 generates hot air, the hot air impacts the airflow vane 7 inside the throat tube 4, causing it to rotate around the rotation axis 6. The rotation of the airflow vane 7 buffers and guides the hot airflow, making the hot airflow pass through the throat tube 4 more smoothly and evenly, further stabilizing the airflow and reducing noise caused by airflow turbulence.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment, a pulley assembly for assisting movement is provided on the outside of the diffuser tube 5. The pulley assembly includes an abutment spring 10 fixedly connected to the left end of the diffuser tube 5. A connecting ring 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the abutment spring 10 away from the diffuser tube 5. A hinge seat 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting ring 11 away from the abutment spring 10. An auxiliary wheel 13 is rotatably connected inside the hinge seat 12. When using the hot air gun, the pulley assembly on the outside of the diffuser tube 5 functions. The auxiliary wheel 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting ring 11 via the hinge seat 12, and the abutment spring 10 provides elastic support for the auxiliary wheel 13. During operation, the auxiliary wheel 13 can roll along the working surface, reducing the friction between the hot air gun and the working surface, making the hot air gun easier to move and operate, and improving ease of use. At the same time, the elasticity of the abutment spring 10 ensures that the auxiliary wheel 13 is always in close contact with the working surface, providing stable support.

[0033] The number of abutment springs 10, hinge seats 12 and auxiliary wheels 13 are all four sets. The four sets of hinge seats 12 and auxiliary wheels 13 are distributed in a ring shape outside the connecting ring 11.

[0034] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0035] In use, the hot air gun body 1 is activated by the controller to generate hot air, which is blown outward through the nozzle 2. The hot air enters the converging tube 3, where the flow rate increases and the pressure decreases due to the reduced diameter. It then enters the throat tube 4, where a high flow rate and low pressure are maintained to form a stable airflow. Finally, it enters the diverging tube 5, where the diameter increases, the flow rate decreases, and the pressure increases, approaching atmospheric pressure. This smooth transition in pressure and flow rate reduces noise. The hot air impacts the airflow vane 7 inside the throat tube 4, causing it to rotate around the rotating shaft 6, which buffers and guides the airflow, allowing it to pass through more smoothly and evenly, reducing turbulent noise. During operation, the auxiliary wheel 13 rolls along the working surface, reducing friction between the hot air gun and the surface, facilitating movement. The abutment spring 10 ensures that the auxiliary wheel 13 is in close contact with the workpiece surface, providing stable support.

[0036] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that achieves the desired beneficial effect can be implemented. Furthermore, all electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional, known device such as a computer that performs control functions. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming, and the existing disclosed power connection technologies are common knowledge in the field. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate further on their specific structural composition and working principles.
