Embodiment for Carrying out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

[0011] <First Embodiment> In the present embodiment, the hair dryer 1 including a configuration example of the blowing structure according to the present invention will be described as an example. The hair dryer 1 according to the present embodiment is an example of the hair dryer according to the present invention. The hair dryer 1 can be used for the purpose of styling hair or drying hair.

[0012] (Overall Configuration of Hair Dryer) First, the overall configuration of the hair dryer 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIGS. 1 and 2 show the appearance of the hair dryer 1. FIG. 3 shows a state where the attachment 10 is removed from the hair dryer 1. The attachment 10 is an example of the blowing structure according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a plan view when the hair dryer 1 is viewed from the upper side (Y1 side).

[0013] In this specification, for the purpose of explaining the shape and positional relationship of each component of the hair dryer 1 and the attachment 10, for convenience, the hair dryer 1 is defined by three coordinate axes in the X (X1-X2) direction (left-right direction), Y (Y1-Y2) direction (up-down direction), and Z (Z1-Z2) direction (front-back direction) as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0014] The hair dryer 1 according to this embodiment mainly includes a grip portion 30 and an attachment (blowing structure) 10. The attachment 10 is configured to be removable (detachable) from the grip portion 30 (see FIG. 3).

[0015] Another attachment of a different type from the attachment 10 can also be attached to the grip portion 30. Thereby, the hair dryer 1 can be used for a wider range of applications. In another embodiment, the attachment 10 may be of an integral structure with the grip portion 30 (that is, a non-detachable structure).

[0016] The grip portion 30 has a columnar shape extending along the Y direction (vertical direction). In one example, the shape of the cross-section (XZ cross-section) of the grip portion 30 is substantially circular. That is, the grip portion 30 has a substantially cylindrical shape.

[0017] An operation portion (not shown) is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the grip portion 30. When using the hair dryer 1, by the user operating the operation portion, the hair dryer 1 starts or stops operating. Also, by operating the operation portion, the type of wind (hot air / cold air) and the air volume (strong wind / weak wind) blown out from the air outlet (for example, the air outlet 13) may be adjusted.

[0018] A power cord (not shown) is provided at the lower end portion (Y2 side) of the grip portion 30. In another embodiment, the hair dryer 1 may be a cordless type.

[0019] Inside the grip portion 30, a blower fan (not shown), a heater (not shown), an ion supply portion (also referred to as a charged particle generator) (not shown), and a control portion (not shown) are provided. An air inlet 35 is provided at the lower end portion (Y2 side) of the grip portion 30.

[0020] The attachment 10 has a connection part 28 located at its lower end (on the Y2 side) attached to the upper end part of the gripping part 30. The attachment 10 has an air passage 32 inside. The air passage 32 communicates with the air passage inside the gripping part 30. The attachment 10 has a plurality of protrusions 11. Each protrusion 11 protrudes, for example, from the outer peripheral surface 20a of the main body part 20 of the attachment 10 in the Z1 direction (front side).

[0021] When the blower fan inside the gripping part 30 is operated, air flows into the gripping part 30 from the air inlet 35, and an air flow (wind) is formed inside the gripping part 30 that goes from the lower side (Y2 side) to the upper side (Y1 side). This wind flows into the air passage 32 inside the attachment 10, and the wind blows out from the air outlets 13 provided on each protrusion 11.

[0022] In addition to the air outlets 13 provided on the protrusions 11, another air outlet may be provided on the outer peripheral surface 20a of the main body part 20 of the attachment 10. In such a configuration, it is preferable that a first mode (for example, a styler mode) in which the wind is sent out from the air outlets 13 provided on the protrusions 11 and a second mode (for example, a dryer mode) in which the wind is sent out from the air outlet (not shown) provided on the outer peripheral surface 20a are configured to be switchable. Thereby, according to the use of the hair dryer 1, the delivery direction of the wind blown out from the attachment 10 can be changed. Note that it may have a third mode in which the wind is sent out simultaneously from both the air outlets 13 and the air outlet provided on the outer peripheral surface 20a.

[0023] (Configuration of the attachment) Subsequently, a more detailed configuration of the attachment 10 will be described. FIG. 5 shows the configuration of the main body part 20 of the attachment 10. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in which attachment parts such as the first brush member 41 are removed from the attachment 10 of the hair dryer 1. FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the first brush member 41 attached to the attachment 10. FIGS. 7 and 8 show a state in which attachment parts (for example, the first brush member 41, etc.) are attached to the main body part 20 of the attachment 10.

[0024] The attachment 10 is composed of a main body 20 and various attachment parts attached to the main body 20. Examples of the attachment parts include a first brush member 41 and the like. The first brush member 41 is an example of a brush part that is detachable from the main body.

[0025] Specifically, the attachment 10 has a main body 20, a first brush member 41, a second brush member 42, a member without a brush 43, a locking part 51, and a ring 52 (see FIG. 8 and the like).

[0026] The main body 20 has a columnar shape extending along the Y direction (vertical direction). In one example, the shape of the cross-section (XZ cross-section) of the main body 20 is substantially circular. That is, the main body 20 has a substantially columnar shape. An air passage 32 is provided inside the main body 20.

[0027] A plurality of protrusions 11 are formed on a part of the outer peripheral surface (surface) 20a of the main body 20. Each protrusion 11 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface 20a in the Z1 direction. The plurality of protrusions 11 are arranged side by side in the Y direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, all the plurality of protrusions 11 have the same shape. And each protrusion 11 has a substantially fan-shaped shape when viewed from one side in the longitudinal direction of the main body 20 (for example, the Y1 side, etc.) (see FIG. 4). More specifically, each protrusion 11 has a shape having a fan surface along the XZ plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (that is, the Y direction) of the main body 20. As shown in FIG. 4, the fan surface of the protrusion 11 is a fan surface whose width increases as it moves away from the outer peripheral surface 20a of the main body 20. The fan surface of each protrusion 11 is a shape formed by a part of a disk shape concentric with the main body 20, and may have an air passage communicating with the air passage 32 of the main body 20 inside.

[0029] Each protrusion 11 is provided with an air outlet 13 communicating with the air passage 32. In the present embodiment, two air outlets 13 are provided in one protrusion 11. More specifically, one air outlet 13a is provided on the side surface located on the X1 side of the protrusion 11, and the other air outlet 13b is provided on the side surface located on the X2 side (see FIG. 4). With this configuration, the direction of the air blown out from the air outlet 13a and the direction of the air blown out from the air outlet 13b can be made different.

[0030] Note that the air outlets 13a and 13b may be configured to blow out air simultaneously, or may be configured to blow out air from only one of them. In the case of a configuration where air is blown out from only one of them, the main body 20 preferably has an air passage switching mechanism (not shown), and by the user switching the air passage, it is possible to switch between a mode in which air is blown out from the air outlet 13a and a mode in which air is blown out from the air outlet 13b.

[0031] Mounting components such as the first brush member 41 are attached to the region of the outer peripheral surface (surface) 20a of the main body 20 other than the region where the protrusions 11 are formed. This region is divided into a plurality of regions extending in the longitudinal direction (Y direction) of the main body 20. One of the first brush member 41, the second brush member 42, and the brushless member 43 is attached to each of these divided regions.

[0032] The first brush member 41, the second brush member 42, and the brushless member 43 are detachably attached to the main body 20. The first brush member 41, the second brush member 42, and the brushless member 43 are all mounting components having an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction (for example, the Y direction) of the main body 20. When attaching these mounting components to the main body 20, each mounting component is slid along the longitudinal direction (for example, the Y direction) of the main body 20 and attached (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

[0033] The first brush member 41 and the second brush member 42 each have a base portion 44 and brush bristles 21, and the brush bristles 21 protrude from the surface of the base portion 44. The base portion 44 is formed of, for example, resin or metal. Also, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, each brush bristle 21 has a conical shape with a flat portion at the tip, but the shape of the brush bristle 21 is not limited to this. The brush bristle 21 may be formed of, for example, a single rod-shaped body made of resin, or may be formed of an aggregate of a plurality of extremely fine hair-like bodies, or may have a conical shape with a rounded tip, or may have a cylindrical shape with a spherical portion having a diameter larger than that of the cylinder at the tip. Alternatively, it may be made of metal. A plurality of brush bristles 21 are provided on the surface of the base portion 44 of each brush member.

[0034] The plurality of brush bristles 21 form a brush row along the elongated shape of the first brush member 41 or the second brush member 42. More specifically, the first brush member 41 has two brush rows 22A and 22B. Also, the second brush member 42 has one brush row 22C.

[0035] The brushless member 43 does not have brush bristles. The brushless member 43 is formed of a substantially flat plate-shaped resin member. In this embodiment, it has a slightly curved flat plate shape along a part of the outer peripheral surface 20a of the substantially cylindrical main body portion 20. Note that the first brush member 41 and the second brush member 42 may be such that a plurality of brush bristles 21 are arranged in a row on the surface of a base body (for example, the base portion 44) having the same flat plate shape as the brushless member 43.

[0036] The locking portion 51 and the ring 52 are attached to the tip side in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 20 (for example, the Y1 side). The locking portion 51 and the ring 52 constitute a locking mechanism 50 for locking each mounting component such as the first brush member 41 to the main body portion 20.

[0037] The locking mechanism 50 has a locking portion 51, a ring 52, and an insertion hole 53 formed in the tip portion 27 of the main body portion 20. The locking portion 51 has an insertion portion 51a. The insertion portion 51a is inserted into the insertion hole 53 of the main body portion 20.

[0038] By providing such a locking mechanism 50, each mounting component can be fixed to the main body portion 20 in a more stable state. Thereby, it is possible to avoid the mounting components coming off from the main body portion 20 when the hair dryer 1 is in use or the like.

[0039] Further, in order to more reliably fix each mounting component to the main body portion 20, a magnet 45 for adhering the mounting component to the outer peripheral surface 20a of the main body portion 20 may be provided. The magnet 45 is disposed, for example, at both longitudinal ends of the back surface 44a of the base portion 44 of the first brush member 41 (see FIG. 6). Similarly, magnets 45 are also provided on the back surfaces of other mounting components (specifically, the second brush member 42 and the brushless member 43). The magnet 45 may be embedded in the back surface 44a of the brush member, or may be exposed on the back surface 44a. Further, the magnet 45 may be completely embedded inside the base portion of the brush member so as not to be visible. Note that the base portion of the brush member of the present embodiment has a bent portion 47 bent in an L shape, and the bent portion 47 side is located on the locking mechanism 50 side. Note that a magnet 45 may be provided on the wall surface of the bent portion 47.

[0040] And on the outer peripheral surface 20a of the main body portion 20, a magnetic body 46 (for example, a metal or the like) that adheres to the magnet is provided in a region where each mounting component is mounted (see FIG. 5). The magnetic body 46 is disposed at a position corresponding to the magnet 45 provided on each mounting component.

[0041] In another embodiment, the magnetic body 46 may be disposed on the mounting component side and the magnet may be disposed on the main body portion 20 side. In this way, a magnet may be disposed on either the main body portion or the mounting component, and a magnetic body may be disposed on the other.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 6, it is preferable that the magnet 45 is disposed at at least one end in the longitudinal direction (for example, the Y direction) of the attachment part (for example, the first brush member 41, etc.) or the main body part 20. As shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable that the magnetic body 46 is disposed at at least one end in the longitudinal direction (for example, the Y direction) of the main body part 20 or the attachment part (for example, the first brush member 41, etc.).

[0043] Thereby, when the attachment part is slid and attached (or removed) in the longitudinal direction (for example, the Y direction) with respect to the main body part 20, it is possible to avoid the magnet 45 and the magnetic body 46 from firmly adhering and preventing the attachment part from sliding.

[0044] In the examples shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the magnets 45 or the magnetic bodies 46 are disposed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the attachment part and the main body part 20. However, in another example, the magnets 45 and the magnetic bodies 46 may be disposed only at one end in the longitudinal direction.

[0045] As described above, the attachment 10 has a plurality of types of attachment parts, and these can be appropriately attached to a desired location. Therefore, the user of the hair dryer 1 can select an optimal form (for example, the shape and density of the brush bristles, etc.) according to the purpose of use by changing the attachment part attached to the main body part 20. Thereby, a hair dryer 1 with higher convenience can be provided.

[0046] Note that among the attachment parts to the main body part 20, at least the first brush member 41 having two or more rows of brush rows is included. With such a configuration, the density of the brush bristles can be increased as compared with the case where the attachment part is composed only of a brush part having a single row of brush rows.

[0047] In addition, since the first brush member 41 having two or more rows of brush rows is included, the number of attachment parts in the case of forming an attachment having brush bristles of the same density can be reduced. Therefore, the attachment and detachment operation of the brush part with respect to the main body part 20 can be performed more easily and in a shorter time.

[0048] In the brush part described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-59251), only one row of brush bristles is arranged for one brush base. When trying to increase the brush bristle density in the circumferential direction (width direction of the brush surface) of the main body part using such a brush part, it is necessary to take measures such as increasing the number of mounting rods for attaching the brush part and increasing the number of grooves into which the brush part fits. However, there are limitations to the number of mounting rods and grooves that can be formed in the main body part, and the upper limit value of the brush bristle density in the circumferential direction is also limited.

[0049] In order to increase the upper limit value of the brush bristle density in the circumferential direction, it is necessary to make the width of the brush part narrower and arrange it in the shape of the main body part at a narrower interval. However, if the width of the brush part is made narrower, the mounting rod formed in the main body part is made thinner, or the interval between the grooves formed in the main body part is made narrower, the strength of the brush part, the mounting rod of the main body part, and the grooves of the main body part tends to decrease, and when attaching the brush part to the main body part, there may be problems such as the brush part or the mounting rod breaking or the wall of the groove cracking. On the other hand, in this embodiment, by including the first brush member 41 having two or more brush rows, the possibility of the above problems occurring can be reduced.

[0050] When attaching each mounting part to the main body part 20, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, each mounting part is slid downward (that is, in the Y2 direction) from the tip end part 27 side of the main body part 20. Also, when removing each mounting part, each mounting part is slid upward (that is, in the Y1 direction). Each mounting part slides so that its back surface 44a slides on the outer peripheral surface 20a of the main body part 20 and reaches the lower end side (connection part 28 side) of the main body part 20. When the mounting part reaches this position, the magnet 45 (or magnetic body 46) on the mounting part side and the magnetic body 46 (or magnet 45) on the main body part 20 side face each other and attract each other, strengthening the fixing of the mounting part to the main body part 20.

[0051] After that, a ring 52 is attached to the tip 27 of the main body 20. Then, the insertion part 51a of the locking part 51 is inserted into the insertion hole 53 of the main body 20. As a result, each mounting component can be fixed to the main body 20 in a more stable state, and it is possible to prevent the mounting components from coming off the main body 20 when using the hair dryer 1 or the like.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the first brush member 41 having two brush rows 22A and 22B is described as an example, but the number of brush rows provided in the brush part may be three or more.

[0053] (Summary of the First Embodiment) The hair dryer (hair drying machine) 1 according to the present embodiment includes an attachment (blowing structure) 10. The attachment 10 includes a main body 20 and mounting components such as a brush part that is detachable from the main body 20. The main body 20 has an air passage 32 provided inside and an air outlet 13 communicating with the air passage 32.

[0054] In the present embodiment, the main body 20 has a plurality of protrusions 11 protruding from the outer peripheral surface (surface) 20a. The air outlet 13 is provided on each protrusion 11.

[0055] At least one of the brush parts (for example, the first brush member 41) that is detachable from the main body 20 has two or more brush rows (for example, the brush rows 22A and 22B).

[0056] With such a configuration, the density of the brush hairs can be increased as compared with the case where the brush part is composed only of a brush part having a single row of brush rows. Further, since the first brush member 41 having two or more brush rows is included, the number of mounting components when forming an attachment having brush hairs of the same density can be reduced. Therefore, the replacement work of the brush part with respect to the main body 20 can be performed more easily and in a shorter time.

[0057] In addition, the base of the brush part having only a single row of brush rows tends to have a more elongated shape compared to the base of the brush part having multiple rows of brush rows. Therefore, there is a possibility that the base of the brush part may break or deform during the attachment operation to the attachment.

[0058] On the other hand, the base (for example, the base part 44) of the brush part having multiple rows of brush rows can be made wider, so that a brush part that is less likely to deform and has high strength can be obtained.

[0059] In another embodiment, the attachment 10 may have only one type of attachment part. In this case, the attachment 10 has, for example, a plurality of first brush members 41. Since the first brush member 41 has two or more rows of brush rows, the number of attachment parts can be reduced compared to the case where the attachment part has only the second brush member 42 having only one row of brush rows. In addition, the attachment and detachment operation of the brush part to the main body part 20 can be performed more easily and in a shorter time. Also, the density of the brush hairs can be increased compared to the case where the attachment part has only the second brush member 42 having only one row of brush rows.

[0060] <Second Embodiment> Subsequently, the second embodiment will be described. The hair dryer 1 according to the second embodiment has a different attachment configuration from the first embodiment. The configuration of the grip part 30 can be the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0061] FIGS. 9 and 10 show the external configuration of the attachment 210 provided in the hair dryer 1 according to the second embodiment. FIGS. 11 and 12 show a state in which an attachment part (for example, the brush member 241, etc.) is attached to the main body part 220 of the attachment 210.

[0062] The hair dryer 1 according to this embodiment mainly includes a grip portion 30 and an attachment (blowing structure) 210. The attachment 210 is configured to be detachable from the grip portion 30. In another embodiment, the attachment 210 may be integrally formed with the grip portion 30 (i.e., a non-detachable configuration).

[0063] Since the grip portion 30 has the same configuration as the grip portion 30 described in the first embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0064] The attachment 210 includes a main body portion 220 and various attachment components attached to the main body portion 220. Examples of the attachment components include a brush member 241. The brush member 241 is an example of a detachable brush portion with respect to the main body portion.

[0065] Specifically, the attachment 210 includes a main body portion 220, a brush member 241, and a locking member 250.

[0066] The main body portion 20 has a front portion 220a. In one example, the front portion 220a has a plane substantially parallel to the XY plane. An air passage 32 is provided inside the main body portion 220. The front portion 220a may be a slightly curved plane.

[0067] A plurality of protrusions 211 are formed on the front portion 220a. Each protrusion 211 protrudes from the front portion 220a in the Z1 direction. The plurality of protrusions 211 are arranged side by side in the Y direction at a substantially central position in the left-right direction (X direction) of the front portion 220a.

[0068] In this embodiment, the protrusion 211 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in which the width in the Y direction is larger than the width in the X direction (i.e., the Y direction is the longitudinal direction and the X direction is the short side direction). Note that the shape of the protrusion 211 is not limited to the substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and may be, for example, a cylindrical shape or an elliptical cylindrical shape.

[0069] Each protrusion 211 has an air outlet 213 communicating with the air passage 32. In the present embodiment, two air outlets (i.e., 213a and 213b) are provided in one protrusion 211. More specifically, one air outlet 213a is provided on the side surface located on the X1 side of the protrusion 11, and the other air outlet 213b is provided on the side surface located on the X2 side (see FIG. 10). With this configuration, the direction of the air blown out from the air outlet 213a and the direction of the air blown out from the air outlet 213b can be made different.

[0070] Mounting parts such as the brush member 241 are attached to the region of the front portion 220a of the main body portion 220 other than the formation region of the protrusion 211. In the present embodiment, one brush member 241a is attached to the left side (X1 side) of the formation region of the protrusion 211. Also, another brush member 241b is attached to the right side (X2 side) of the formation region of the protrusion 211. The brush member 241a and the brush member 241b have a symmetric configuration.

[0071] The brush member 241 (specifically, 241a and 241b) is a mounting part having an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction (for example, the Y direction) of the main body portion 220. When attaching this brush member 241 to the main body portion 220, the brush member 241 is slid along the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 220 (for example, from the Y1 side to the Y2 side in the Y direction) for attachment (see FIGS. 11 and 12). Also, when removing the brush member 241, it is slid in the reverse direction (for example, from the Y2 side to the Y1 side in the Y direction). Similar to the first embodiment, in order to more securely fix the brush member 241 to the main body portion 220, a magnet for adhering the brush member 241 to the front portion 220a of the main body portion 220 may be provided.

[0072] The locking member 250 is attached to the tip side (for example, the Y1 side) in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 220. The locking member 250 serves as a locking mechanism for locking each mounting part such as the brush member 241 to the main body portion 220.

[0073] By providing such a locking mechanism, the brush member 241 can be fixed to the main body portion 220 in a more stable state. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the brush member 241 from coming off the main body portion 220 when using the hair dryer 1 or the like.

[0074] The brush member 241 has a base portion 244 and brush hairs 21, and the brush hairs 21 protrude from the surface of the base portion 244. The base portion 244 is formed of, for example, resin or metal and has brush hairs 21 on its surface. Each brush hair 21 may be formed of, for example, a single rod-shaped body made of resin or an aggregate of a plurality of extremely fine hair-like bodies. A plurality of brush hairs 21 are provided on the surface of each brush member.

[0075] The plurality of brush hairs 21 form a brush row along the elongated shape of the brush member 241. More specifically, the brush member 241 has two brush rows 22A and 22B.

[0076] In the present embodiment, the brush member 241 having two brush rows 22A and 22B is described as an example, but the number of brush rows provided on the brush member may be three or more.

[0077] As described above, the attachment 210 has a brush member 241 having two or more brush rows. With such a configuration, the density of the brush hairs can be increased as compared with the case where the attachment component is composed of a brush member having a single brush row.

[0078] In addition, by including the brush member 241 having two or more brush rows, the number of attachment components when forming an attachment having brush hairs of the same density can be reduced. Therefore, the attachment and detachment operation of the brush portion with respect to the main body portion 220 can be performed more easily and in a shorter time.

[0079] In addition, the attachment parts attached to the main body 220 are not limited to one type. For example, in addition to the brush member 241, the attachment 210 may have a brush part in a form different from that of the brush member 241 as an attachment part.

[0080] By changing the attachment parts attached to the main body 220, the user of the hair dryer 1 can select an optimal form (for example, the shape and density of the brush hairs, etc.) according to the purpose of use. Thereby, a more convenient hair dryer 1 can be provided.

[0081] The embodiments disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description but by the claims, and all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims are intended to be included. Also, the configurations obtained by combining the configurations of different embodiments described in this specification with each other are also included in the scope of the present invention.
