They are merely used for facilitating description of the present disclosure and simplifying the description, instead of indicating or implying that a device or element referred to must have a particular orientation or be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus cannot be interpreted as limiting the present disclosure.

[0023] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are merely for descriptive purposes and are not to be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying a quantity of indicated technical features. Thus, features limited by "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present disclosure, "a plurality of" indicates two or more, unless expressly specified otherwise.

[0024] FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 show a hairdressing apparatus. The hairdressing apparatus is an integrated hand-held apparatus. The hairdressing apparatus may be used to dry hair quickly and straighten hair simultaneously.

[0025] The hairdressing apparatus includes a hair straightening unit and a hair dryer unit. The hair straightening unit is provided with two arms 11. Opposite surfaces of the two arms 11 are provided with hair straightening plates 12. The hair dryer unit includes an air supply duct 21 arranged in one of the arms 11 and an air outlet duct 22 arranged in the other arm. The air outlet duct 22 is in communication with the air supply duct 21.

[0026] Air outlets 213 of the air supply duct are located on the corresponding arm and avoid the hair straightening plates 12. For example, the air outlets may be provided at sides of the hair straightening plates 12. The hair straightening plates 12 and the air outlets are provided in a spaced manner. In this way, air flows blown by the air outlet duct 22 are effectively prevented from blowing to the hair straightening plates 12, and sufficient heat of the hair straightening plates 12 is ensured during hair straightening.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, optionally, the two arms 10 are a first arm 102 and a second arm 103, respectively. Ends of the first arm 102 and the second arm 103 are hinged to each other, such that the first arm 102 and the second arm 103 cooperate to make the two arms have a closed state and an open state. A first closed use mode is as follows: when the first arm 102 and the second arm 103 are closed to clamp hair, the hair straightening unit is started to straighten the hair. Another closed use mode is as follows: when the first arm 102 and the second arm 103 are closed, the hair dryer unit is started to work, and the apparatus is moved to approach hair 1 to dry the hair 1. In the open state, wet hair may be put between the first arm 102 and the second arm 103.

[0028] Each of the arms 11 is provided with at least two hair straightening plates 12, every two adjacent hair straightening plates 12 are mounted on the corresponding arm in a spaced manner, and the air outlets 213 are provided between the two adjacent hair straightening plates 12, and more preferably, in the middle of a space between the two hair straightening plates, so as to prevent a temperature of the hair straightening plates from being influenced by wind blowing.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the hair straightening plates 12 include first hair straightening plates 121 arranged on one of the arms and spaced from the air outlets 213, and second hair straightening plates 122 arranged on the other arm and spaced from the air outlet duct 22. The second hair straightening plates 122 and the first hair straightening plates 121 directly face each other vertically. During use, a user clamps a piece of wet hair between the opposite first hair straightening plates 121 and second hair straightening plates 122, and pulls the apparatus in a hair extension direction. The wet hair is scraped by the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 to remove excessive unbound water, and meanwhile, the hair is heated to accelerate subsequent evaporation of water. In a pulling process, the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 straighten the hair for hairdressing.

[0030] The air supply duct 21 is arranged on one of the arms, and the other arm is provided with the air outlet duct 22. The air outlet duct 22 penetrates the corresponding arm and directly faces the air outlets 213. As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the air outlet duct 22 includes the air outlets 213 provided on an inner side surface of the first arm 102 and in communication with a tail end of the air supply duct 21, and the air outlet duct 22 penetrating an inner side surface of the second arm 103 and opposite the air outlets 213. The air outlet duct 22 can guide high-speed air flows blown by the air outlets 213, to effectively avoid airflow turbulence, such that drying efficiency of the hair 1 is improved. Preferably, the air outlet duct 22 is a hollow hole. A diameter of the hollow hole is greater than a hole diameter of the air outlets 213, such that the air outlet duct has a large enough hole diameter and cannot block air flows blown by the air outlets 213.

[0031] The hair straightening plates 12 are internally provided with first heating elements 13. The air supply duct 21 is internally provided with a second heating element 23 used to heat the air flows. The first heating elements 13 and the second heating element 23 are electrically connected to a main control unit 30. The first heating elements 13, the second heating element 23 and the main control unit 30 constitute a heating system of the apparatus.

[0032] In the heating system, a first heating system is formed by the first heating elements and a control unit, and a second heating system is formed by the second heating element and a control unit. The two heating systems may work independently or jointly, such that the hairdressing apparatus may be used as a hair straightening apparatus, a hair dryer apparatus, or a hair straightener and dryer.

[0033] 1) When the hairdressing apparatus is used as the hair straightening apparatus, only the first heating system works, the hair straightening plates 12 clamp hair and heats the hair through the first heating elements 13, and the apparatus is pulled to complete hair straightening.

[0034] 2) When the hairdressing apparatus is used as the hair dryer apparatus, only the second heating system works, the second heating element 23 heats air flows in the air supply duct, and hot air flows are blown to the hair via an air flow channel so as to complete hair drying.

[0035] 3) When the apparatus is used as the hair straightener and dryer, the two heating systems work together. That is, the first heating elements 13 and the second heating element 23 all work, and provide heat required for hair straightening and drying independently. Even if wind blows to the hair straightening plates, heat of the hair straightening plates cannot be influenced. In this way, air blowing during hair straightening does not reduce a temperature for hair straightening, and hairdressing efficiency is improved.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the main control unit 30 is arranged in either of the arms 11. The main control unit 30 controls the first heating elements 13 and the second heating element 23 to work. Specifically, the main control unit 30 is arranged in the air supply duct 21 of the first arm 102, and the air supply duct 21 can cool the main control unit 30 while conveying air flows. The main control unit 30 controls the first heating elements 13 and the second heating element 23 to work independently or jointly, such that the apparatus enters a hair straightening mode, an air blowing mode, or a hair straightening and air blowing mode. The main control unit 30 controls the three modes to be switched as required. The apparatus has diversified functions and is simple to use, which is favored by a user.

[0037] When the hair needs to be straightened, the hair is put between the two arms 10, then the two arms 10 are closed, the hair straightening mode is started, and the apparatus is pulled in the hair extension direction, such that the hair is straightened.

[0038] When the hair is wet, the air blowing mode may be selected to dry the hair. When the air blowing mode is started, the two arms 10 are closed, the apparatus is held to align an air outlet end of the air outlet duct 22 with the hair, and the air flows blown from the air outlet end of the air outlet duct 22 blow to the hair for hair drying.

[0039] When a user needs to straighten and dry hair, the hair 1 is put between the two arms 10 in the closed state, the hair straightening and air blowing mode is started, the apparatus is pulled in the hair extension direction, the hair straightening unit straightens the hair, and meanwhile, the hair dryer unit dries the hair 1.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 is provided with the first heating element 13, the first heating elements 13 are electrically connected to the main control unit 30, the main control unit 30 controls the first heating elements 13 to generate heat, and the first heating elements 13 conduct heat to at least one of the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122. Optionally, the first heating elements 13 may be heating coils or heating tubes. The first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 are provided with the first heating elements 13, such that sufficient heat during hair straightening is ensured.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the two first hair straightening plates 121 are arranged at two sides of the air outlets 213 in a spaced manner, respectively. The two second hair straightening plates 122 are arranged at two sides of the air outlet duct 22 in a spaced manner, respectively. The first hair straightening plates 121 are arranged at a certain distance from the air outlets 213, and the second hair straightening plates 122 are arranged at a certain distance from the air outlet duct 22, such that a possibility that high-speed air flows blown from the air outlets 213 influence heat of the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 is reduced. Further, sufficient heat during hair straightening is ensured, and hairdressing efficiency is improved.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 are aluminum plates having excellent thermal conductivity. Or, the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 are ceramic floating plates with springs. The springs have low resilience or stiffness, thus providing good control of hair tension. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second heating element 23 is an electric heating coil 23. The electric heating coil 23 is electrically connected to the main control unit 30. Or, the second heating element 23 may be another heating element. The second heating element 23 and the first heating element 13 are two separate heating units of the apparatus, and do not influence each other. The heating units may work independently or jointly. When the second heating element 23 and the first heating element 13 work together, heat of the hairdressing apparatus during hair straightening and air blowing can be completely ensured.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the air supply duct 21 includes the air supply duct 21 arranged in one of the arms 11 and a motor 212 arranged in the air supply duct 21. The second heating element 23 is arranged in the air supply duct 21 and located at a side of an output end of the motor 212. In this way, hot air flows do not flow to the motor 212, such that the service life of the motor 212 is prolonged.

[0044] The motor 212 is connected to the main control unit 30. The main control unit 30 may control the motor 212 to work independently, control the motor 212 to work together with the second heating element 23, or control the motor 212 to work together with the second heating element 23 and the first heating elements 13, so as to achieve different working modes. The tail end of the air supply duct 21 is in communication with the air outlets 213. Optionally, the air supply duct 21 and the motor 212 are located in the first arm 102.

[0045] In the embodiment, the main control unit 30, the motor 212, and the second heating element 23 are arranged sequentially in an air circulation direction from an air inlet to the air outlets of the air supply duct 21. In this way, when air enters the apparatus, the air passes the main control unit 30 to dissipate heat of the main control unit, then passes the motor 212 and the second heating element 23, and finally blows out from the air outlets. That is, the air enters a tail end of the air supply duct 21 and then is heated by the second heating element 23. Thus, it is ensured that the main control unit 30 and the motor 212 at a front end work at a normal temperature, and passing wind dissipates heat of the main control unit 30 and the motor 212, thus prolonging the service life of the accessories.

[0046] The air supply duct 21 extends from an interior of a hinged end of the first arm 102 to an interior of one of the arms. The air flows enter the hinged end and flows out from the air outlets of the corresponding arm. Optionally, the air supply duct 21 is an independent duct, and is detachably assembled on one of the arms. The independent duct implements independent assembly of the hair dryer unit, which forms an assembly body so as to be mounted on a hair straightening arm. In the embodiment, the air supply duct 21 is formed by an upper duct housing 24 and a lower duct housing 25. A sealing member 26 for preventing air leakage and a sealing recess 27 used to mount the sealing member are arranged between the upper duct housing 23 and the lower duct housing 24.

[0047] Optionally, the motor 212 includes a motor and an impeller arranged on an output shaft of the motor, and the motor drives the impeller to rotate, thus implementing air flow movement. Peripheries of the air outlets are provided with surrounding ribs 28. The surrounding ribs form a circle, surround the peripheries of the air outlets 213, and protrude to achieve a certain height, such that water is prevented from flowing into the air supply duct from the air outlets. Guide vanes 29 are arranged in the air outlets 213. The guide vanes 29 are provided with air guide plates having different angles, such that the air is changed from transverse inlet air of the air supply duct 21 to longitudinal outlet air of the air outlet duct 222.

[0048] What are described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the air outlet duct 22 includes the air outlets 213 provided on an inner side surface of the first arm 102 and in communication with a tail end of the air supply duct 21, and the air outlet duct 22 penetrating an inner side surface of the second arm 103 and opposite the air outlets 213. The air outlet duct 22 can guide high-speed air flows blown by the air outlets 213, to effectively avoid airflow turbulence, such that drying efficiency of the hair 1 is improved. Preferably, the air outlet duct 22 is a hollow hole. A diameter of the hollow hole is greater than a hole diameter of the air outlets 213, such that the air outlet duct has a large enough hole diameter and cannot block air flows blown by the air outlets 213.

[0031] The hair straightening plates 12 are internally provided with first heating elements 13. The air supply duct 21 is internally provided with a second heating element 23 used to heat the air flows. The first heating elements 13 and the second heating element 23 are electrically connected to a main control unit 30. The first heating elements 13, the second heating element 23 and the main control unit 30 constitute a heating system of the apparatus.

[0032] In the heating system, a first heating system is formed by the first heating elements and a control unit, and a second heating system is formed by the second heating element and a control unit. The two heating systems may work independently or jointly, such that the hairdressing apparatus may be used as a hair straightening apparatus, a hair dryer apparatus, or a hair straightener and dryer.

[0033] 1) When the hairdressing apparatus is used as the hair straightening apparatus, only the first heating system works, the hair straightening plates 12 clamp hair and heats the hair through the first heating elements 13, and the apparatus is pulled to complete hair straightening.

[0034] 2) When the hairdressing apparatus is used as the hair dryer apparatus, only the second heating system works, the second heating element 23 heats air flows in the air supply duct, and hot air flows are blown to the hair via an air flow channel so as to complete hair drying.

[0035] 3) When the apparatus is used as the hair straightener and dryer, the two heating systems work together. That is, the first heating elements 13 and the second heating element 23 all work, and provide heat required for hair straightening and drying independently. Even if wind blows to the hair straightening plates, heat of the hair straightening plates cannot be influenced. In this way, air blowing during hair straightening does not reduce a temperature for hair straightening, and hairdressing efficiency is improved.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the main control unit 30 is arranged in either of the arms 11. The main control unit 30 controls the first heating elements 13 and the second heating element 23 to work. Specifically, the main control unit 30 is arranged in the air supply duct 21 of the first arm 102, and the air supply duct 21 can cool the main control unit 30 while conveying air flows. The main control unit 30 controls the first heating elements 13 and the second heating element 23 to work independently or jointly, such that the apparatus enters a hair straightening mode, an air blowing mode, or a hair straightening and air blowing mode. The main control unit 30 controls the three modes to be switched as required. The apparatus has diversified functions and is simple to use, which is favored by a user.

[0037] When the hair needs to be straightened, the hair is put between the two arms 10, then the two arms 10 are closed, the hair straightening mode is started, and the apparatus is pulled in the hair extension direction, such that the hair is straightened.

[0038] When the hair is wet, the air blowing mode may be selected to dry the hair. When the air blowing mode is started, the two arms 10 are closed, the apparatus is held to align an air outlet end of the air outlet duct 22 with the hair, and the air flows blown from the air outlet end of the air outlet duct 22 blow to the hair for hair drying.

[0039] When a user needs to straighten and dry hair, the hair 1 is put between the two arms 10 in the closed state, the hair straightening and air blowing mode is started, the apparatus is pulled in the hair extension direction, the hair straightening unit straightens the hair, and meanwhile, the hair dryer unit dries the hair 1.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 is provided with the first heating element 13, the first heating elements 13 are electrically connected to the main control unit 30, the main control unit 30 controls the first heating elements 13 to generate heat, and the first heating elements 13 conduct heat to at least one of the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122. Optionally, the first heating elements 13 may be heating coils or heating tubes. The first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 are provided with the first heating elements 13, such that sufficient heat during hair straightening is ensured.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the two first hair straightening plates 121 are arranged at two sides of the air outlets 213 in a spaced manner, respectively. The two second hair straightening plates 122 are arranged at two sides of the air outlet duct 22 in a spaced manner, respectively. The first hair straightening plates 121 are arranged at a certain distance from the air outlets 213, and the second hair straightening plates 122 are arranged at a certain distance from the air outlet duct 22, such that a possibility that high-speed air flows blown from the air outlets 213 influence heat of the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 is reduced. Further, sufficient heat during hair straightening is ensured, and hairdressing efficiency is improved.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 are aluminum plates having excellent thermal conductivity. Or, the first hair straightening plates 121 and the second hair straightening plates 122 are ceramic floating plates with springs. The springs have low resilience or stiffness, thus providing good control of hair tension. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second heating element 23 is an electric heating coil 23. The electric heating coil 23 is electrically connected to the main control unit 30. Or, the second heating element 23 may be another heating element. The second heating element 23 and the first heating element 13 are two separate heating units of the apparatus, and do not influence each other. The heating units may work independently or jointly. When the second heating element 23 and the first heating element 13 work together, heat of the hairdressing apparatus during hair straightening and air blowing can be completely ensured.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the air supply duct 21 includes the air supply duct 21 arranged in one of the arms 11 and a motor 212 arranged in the air supply duct 21. The second heating element 23 is arranged in the air supply duct 21 and located at a side of an output end of the motor 212. In this way, hot air flows do not flow to the motor 212, such that the service life of the motor 212 is prolonged.

[0044] The motor 212 is connected to the main control unit 30. The main control unit 30 may control the motor 212 to work independently, control the motor 212 to work together with the second heating element 23, or control the motor 212 to work together with the second heating element 23 and the first heating elements 13, so as to achieve different working modes. The tail end of the air supply duct 21 is in communication with the air outlets 213. Optionally, the air supply duct 21 and the motor 212 are located in the first arm 102.

[0045] In the embodiment, the main control unit 30, the motor 212, and the second heating element 23 are arranged sequentially in an air circulation direction from an air inlet to the air outlets of the air supply duct 21. In this way, when air enters the apparatus, the air passes the main control unit 30 to dissipate heat of the main control unit, then passes the motor 212 and the second heating element 23, and finally blows out from the air outlets. That is, the air enters a tail end of the air supply duct 21 and then is heated by the second heating element 23. Thus, it is ensured that the main control unit 30 and the motor 212 at a front end work at a normal temperature, and passing wind dissipates heat of the main control unit 30 and the motor 212, thus prolonging the service life of the accessories.

[0046] The air supply duct 21 extends from an interior of a hinged end of the first arm 102 to an interior of one of the arms. The air flows enter the hinged end and flows out from the air outlets of the corresponding arm. Optionally, the air supply duct 21 is an independent duct, and is detachably assembled on one of the arms. The independent duct implements independent assembly of the hair dryer unit, which forms an assembly body so as to be mounted on a hair straightening arm. In the embodiment, the air supply duct 21 is formed by an upper duct housing 24 and a lower duct housing 25. A sealing member 26 for preventing air leakage and a sealing recess 27 used to mount the sealing member are arranged between the upper duct housing 23 and the lower duct housing 24.

[0047] Optionally, the motor 212 includes a motor and an impeller arranged on an output shaft of the motor, and the motor drives the impeller to rotate, thus implementing air flow movement. Peripheries of the air outlets are provided with surrounding ribs 28. The surrounding ribs form a circle, surround the peripheries of the air outlets 213, and protrude to achieve a certain height, such that water is prevented from flowing into the air supply duct from the air outlets. Guide vanes 29 are arranged in the air outlets 213. The guide vanes 29 are provided with air guide plates having different angles, such that the air is changed from transverse inlet air of the air supply duct 21 to longitudinal outlet air of the air outlet duct 222.

[0048] What are described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
