Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202521561953.5, filed on July 24, 2025, 202520137705.1, filed on January 20, 2025 and 202520135794.6, filed on January 20, 2025, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of hairdressing devices, and in particular to a hair comb.BACKGROUND

[0003] Conventional comb teeth are directly fixed to a comb barrel. When used, stress concentration is likely to occur at root portions of the comb teeth, which easily leads to breakage and consequently reduces the service life of the comb teeth.

[0004] In some cases, a curling comb having a tubular structure typically includes a heating element disposed therein. When in use, hair is wound around the curling comb, and the heating element heats the hair for a period of time, causing the hair to bend and thereby achieving a styling effect.

[0005] However, existing tubular curling combs suffer from low styling efficiency, mainly because the hair is heated relatively slowly.

[0006] In addition, existing curling combs do not effectively grip hair. As a result, during the winding process, a user often needs to rotate the curling comb multiple times before the hair can be adequately wound around the curling comb.SUMMARY

[0007] One aspect of the present application is to provide a hair comb that reduces the likelihood of comb tooth breakage and improves the service life of the hair comb.

[0008] The present application provides a hair comb comprising a housing; a comb barrel mounted to the housing, the comb barrel being provided with a plurality of comb tooth holes arranged at intervals, and an mounting cavity being formed inside the comb barrel; and a comb tooth assembly comprising an elastic component and a comb tooth portion, wherein each comb tooth hole corresponds to one comb tooth portion, the elastic component is elastically connected to the comb barrel and disposed within the mounting cavity, and the comb tooth portion is connected to the elastic component and extends outward through the corresponding comb tooth hole.

[0009] In one , the comb tooth portion comprises multiple rows of first comb teeth, each row including a plurality of first comb teeth arranged at intervals. The elastic component comprises a first elastic plate, and the first elastic plate is connected to the comb barrel. One first elastic plate corresponds to two rows of first comb teeth, with the two rows of first comb teeth being respectively connected to opposite sides of the first elastic plate, and each first comb tooth extending outward through a corresponding comb tooth hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first elastic plate comprises a first plate body and two second plate bodies disposed on opposite sides of the first plate body. The two rows of first comb teeth are respectively disposed on sides of the two second plate bodies facing away from the first plate body, and the first plate body and the second plate bodies are arranged at an inclined angle relative to each other.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first elastic plate further comprises two third plate bodies, the two third plate bodies being respectively connected to the two second plate bodies on sides facing away from the first plate body. The two rows of first comb teeth are respectively connected to sides of the two third plate bodies facing away from the second plate bodies.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first elastic plate is made of a nylon material.

[0013] In one embodiment, the comb tooth portion comprises second comb teeth, and the elastic component comprises a second elastic plate. A plurality of second comb teeth are arranged at intervals on the second elastic plate, the second elastic plate being connected to the comb barrel, and the plurality of second comb teeth extending outward through corresponding comb tooth holes.

[0014] In one embodiment, one of the comb barrel and the second elastic plate is provided with a first limiting groove, and the other is provided with a first limiting protrusion, such that the second elastic plate is slidably connected via cooperation between the first limiting protrusion and the first limiting groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, the comb barrel comprises a first comb barrel and a second comb barrel, wherein cross-sections of the first comb barrel and the second comb barrel are semi-circular or semi-elliptical, and the first comb barrel and the second comb barrel are detachably connected.

[0016] In one embodiment, one of the first comb barrel and the second comb barrel is provided with a second limiting protrusion, and the other is provided with a second limiting groove, such that the first comb barrel and the second comb barrel are slidably connected.

[0017] In one embodiment, the comb barrel is provided with a mounting hole, and the comb barrel is fixed to the housing through the mounting hole.

[0018] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the hair comb comprises a housing, a comb barrel, and a comb tooth assembly. The comb barrel is mounted to the housing, a mounting cavity is formed inside the comb barrel, and a plurality of comb tooth holes are formed in the comb barrel. An elastic component is elastically connected to the comb barrel and disposed within the mounting cavity. A comb tooth portion is connected to the elastic component and extends outward through the comb tooth holes. As a result, during use of the hair comb, when an external force is applied, the hair comb elastically retracts toward the mounting cavity. That is, when the comb teeth are subjected to force, the elastic component acts as an elastic fulcrum, transmitting the force applied to the comb teeth to the entire elastic component. Accordingly, peak stress at a connection between the comb teeth and the elastic component is substantially reduced, thereby significantly reducing the risk of comb tooth breakage and improving the service life of the hair comb.

[0019] Another aspect of the present application is to provide a curling comb, so as to address the problem of low styling efficiency in existing curling combs.

[0020] The present application provides a curling comb comprising a handle; a plurality of arc-shaped heat-conducting bases fixed to the handle, the plurality of heat-conducting bases being assembled to form a tubular heat-conducting base; a plurality of comb tooth assemblies mounted to the heat-conducting base and circumferentially distributed around the tubular heat-conducting base, wherein adjacent comb tooth assemblies define a first surface on the heat-conducting base; and one or more of heating elements mounted to an inner wall of the heat-conducting base.

[0021] In one embodiment, the heat-conducting base is provided with the first surface. A first mounting cavity is formed inside the heat-conducting base, the first mounting cavity being arranged to correspond to the first surface and configured to accommodate the heating element.

[0022] In one embodiment, the comb tooth assembly further comprises two first comb tooth members. The heat-conducting base is provided with two second mounting cavities, and the first mounting cavity is disposed between the two second mounting cavities. The two second mounting cavities are configured to accommodate the first comb tooth members of two adjacent comb tooth assemblies. Each first comb tooth member comprises a plurality of first comb teeth, and distal ends of the first comb teeth are disposed on an outer side of the tubular structure.

[0023] In one , the heat-conducting base is provided with a through hole, the through hole being configured to allow the distal ends of the first comb teeth to pass through. The first comb tooth member comprises a first base body, and the plurality of first comb teeth are mounted on the first base body. The first base body is detachably mounted in the second mounting cavity.

[0024] Additionally, a limiting plate is provided in the second mounting cavity, the limiting plate being engaged with a cavity wall of the second mounting cavity, and the limiting plate being configured to limit the first comb tooth member within the second mounting cavity.

[0025] Additionally, two first comb tooth members are disposed in one second mounting cavity, and the two first comb tooth members may be identical to or different from each other.

[0026] In one embodiment, a third mounting cavity is formed between adjacent heat-conducting bases. The comb tooth assembly comprises a second comb tooth member mounted in the third mounting cavity. The second comb tooth member comprises a plurality of comb tooth groups, and distal ends of the comb tooth groups are located on an outer side of the third mounting cavity.

[0027] In one embodiment, one end of the heat-conducting base protrudes inwardly toward the tubular structure to form a first connecting plate, and the other end protrudes inwardly to form a second connecting plate. The first connecting plate is provided with a slot, and the second connecting plate is provided with a plug-in portion. When a plurality of arc-shaped heat-conducting bases are assembled, the plug-in portion of one heat-conducting base is inserted into the slot of an adjacent heat-conducting base. The third mounting cavity is formed between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.

[0028] In one embodiment, the second comb tooth member comprises a second base body, and the plurality of comb tooth groups are mounted on the second base body. The first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are each provided with a first protrusion, the first protrusions being configured to limit the second base body within the third mounting cavity.

[0029] Additionally, each comb tooth group is composed of a plurality of second comb teeth.

[0030] In one embodiment, the curling comb further comprises a cover, the heat-conducting base being disposed between the cover and the handle, and the cover being fastened to the handle by screws.

[0031] In one embodiment, the heat-conducting base is provided with guide holes, the guide holes being configured to allow screws to pass through.

[0032] Additionally, an inner wall of the heat-conducting base protrudes to form third connecting plates and fourth connecting plates, the third connecting plates and the fourth connecting plates being spaced apart from each other, and the first mounting cavity being formed between the third connecting plates and the fourth connecting plates.

[0033] In one embodiment, the heat-conducting base and the comb tooth assemblies are each configured as three groups or four groups.

[0034] Additionally, the curling comb further comprises a battery and a control board, the battery and the control board being disposed in the handle.

[0035] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a first surface is formed between adjacent comb tooth assemblies, that is, no comb teeth are provided on the first surface of the heat-conducting base. After hair is wound around the heat-conducting base, the hair can more effectively contact the first surface. Through the action of multiple first surfaces, the hair wound on the curling comb is able to achieve improved contact with the heat-conducting base. In other words, by virtue of the first surfaces, the contact area between the hair and the heat-conducting base is increased, thereby increasing the heating speed of the hair, accelerating heat transfer to the hair, improving styling efficiency, and solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0036] One aspect of the present application is to provide a curling structure and a curling comb, so as to address the problem that existing curling combs are unable to effectively grip hair.

[0037] The present application provides a curling structure for application to a curling comb. The curling structure comprises a tubular heat-conducting base, configured to accommodate a heating element; and a plurality of comb tooth assemblies distributed circumferentially around the heat-conducting base, wherein each comb tooth assembly comprises a first comb tooth member mounted to the heat-conducting base.

[0038] The first comb tooth member comprises a plurality of comb tooth groups, the comb tooth groups being arranged at intervals along a first direction. Each comb tooth group comprises a plurality of first comb teeth, the plurality of first comb teeth being arranged along a first circumference, and the first comb teeth being arranged at a preset angle relative to an axial direction of the heat-conducting base.

[0039] In one embodiment, the comb tooth assembly further comprises a second comb tooth member mounted to the heat-conducting base. The second comb tooth member comprises a plurality of second comb teeth, the second comb teeth being arranged at intervals along the first direction, wherein a spacing between adjacent second comb teeth is greater than a spacing between adjacent comb tooth groups.

[0040] In one embodiment, a diameter of the first comb teeth ranges from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm, and each comb tooth group comprises 2 to 8 first comb teeth. A diameter of the second comb teeth ranges from 0.7 mm to 1.2 mm.

[0041] In one embodiment, two second comb tooth members are provided, and the first comb tooth member is disposed between the two second comb tooth members.

[0042] In one embodiment, a height direction of the comb tooth groups is perpendicular to an outer circumference of the heat-conducting base. A height direction of the second comb teeth is inclined relative to the outer circumference of the heat-conducting base, and adjacent second comb teeth of adjacent comb tooth assemblies are arranged parallel to each other.

[0043] In one embodiment, the comb tooth assembly further comprises a third comb tooth member mounted to the heat-conducting base. The third comb tooth member comprises a plurality of third comb teeth, the third comb teeth being arranged at intervals along the first direction. A height of the second comb teeth is greater than a height of the third comb teeth, and a height of the first comb teeth is greater than the height of the third comb teeth. A spacing between adjacent second comb teeth is greater than a spacing between adjacent third comb teeth, and the spacing between adjacent third comb teeth is greater than a spacing between adjacent first comb teeth.

[0044] In one embodiment, a diameter of the third comb teeth ranges from 0.7 mm to 1.2 mm.

[0045] Additionally, the third comb teeth are made of an elastic plastic material.

[0046] Additionally, two third comb tooth members are provided, and the two second comb tooth members are disposed between the two third comb tooth members.

[0047] Additionally, a height direction of the third comb teeth is perpendicular to an outer circumference of the heat-conducting base.

[0048] In one embodiment, the comb tooth assemblies are provided in three groups.

[0049] In one embodiment, top portions of the comb tooth groups taper toward bottom portions.

[0050] The present application further provides a curling comb, comprising a heating element and the curling structure described above, wherein the heating element is mounted inside the heat-conducting base.

[0051] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, multiple comb tooth assemblies are distributed circumferentially around the heat-conducting base, and each comb tooth assembly comprises a first comb tooth member. That is, a plurality of first comb tooth members are distributed around the circumference of the heat-conducting base, and each first comb tooth member comprises a plurality of comb tooth groups arranged at intervals along the first direction. Each comb tooth group comprises a plurality of first comb teeth arranged along the first circumference.

[0052] Accordingly, each comb tooth group, by virtue of the plurality of first comb teeth, approximates a columnar comb tooth structure. During hair styling, hair is able to contact multiple first comb teeth within each comb tooth group. Since the plurality of first comb teeth are arranged along the first circumference, the comb tooth group increases friction between the comb tooth group and the hair, thereby increasing friction between the curling structure and the hair. As a result, during a winding operation, the curling structure is able to achieve an improved hair-gripping effect, allowing hair to be more easily wound around the curling structure and thereby solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Thus, features defined by “first,”“second,” and the like may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

[0073] Furthermore, the term “and / or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, “A and / or B” includes A alone, B alone, or both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions of the various embodiments may be combined with each other, provided that such combinations are realizable by a person of ordinary skill in the art. Where such combinations are contradictory or infeasible, such combinations should be deemed not to exist and are not within the protection scope of the present application.

[0074] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present application provides a hair comb, comprising:

[0075] a housing 10;

[0076] a comb barrel 20, wherein the comb barrel 20 is mounted to the housing 10, a plurality of comb tooth holes 24 are formed in the comb barrel 20 at intervals, and an mounting cavity is formed inside the comb barrel 20; and

[0077] a comb tooth assembly, comprising an elastic component and a comb tooth portion, wherein each comb tooth hole 24 corresponds to one comb tooth portion, the elastic component is elastically connected to the comb barrel 20 and disposed within the mounting cavity, and the comb tooth portion is connected to the elastic component and extends outward through the corresponding comb tooth hole 24.

[0078] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the hair comb comprises the housing 10, the comb barrel 20, and the comb tooth assembly. The comb barrel 20 is mounted to the housing 10, the mounting cavity is formed inside the comb barrel 20, and a plurality of comb tooth holes 24 are formed in the comb barrel 20. The elastic component is elastically connected to the comb barrel 20 and disposed within the mounting cavity, and the comb tooth portion is connected to the elastic component and extends outward through the comb tooth holes 24. As a result, during use of the hair comb, when an external force is applied, the hair comb elastically retracts toward the mounting cavity. That is, when the comb teeth are subjected to force, the elastic component acts as an elastic fulcrum, transmitting the force applied to the comb teeth to the entire elastic component. Accordingly, peak stress at a connection between the comb teeth and the elastic component is substantially reduced, thereby significantly reducing the risk of comb tooth breakage and improving the service life of the hair comb.

[0079] Specifically, the comb tooth portion comprises multiple rows of first comb teeth 31, each row including a plurality of first comb teeth 31 arranged at intervals. The elastic component comprises a first elastic plate 32, and the first elastic plate 32 is connected to the comb barrel 20. One first elastic plate 32 corresponds to two rows of first comb teeth 31, with the two rows of first comb teeth 31 being respectively connected to opposite sides of the first elastic plate 32, and each first comb tooth 31 extending outward through a corresponding comb tooth hole 24. Accordingly, during use of the hair comb, force applied to the comb teeth is transmitted to the entire first elastic plate 32, thereby substantially reducing peak stress at a connection between the first comb teeth 31 and the first elastic plate 32, significantly reducing the risk of breakage of the first comb teeth 31, and improving the service life of the hair comb.

[0080] In other embodiments, the elastic component may alternatively comprise a spring, and the first comb teeth 31 may be elastically connected within the mounting cavity of the comb barrel 20 by the spring. Alternatively, the first comb teeth 31 may be elastically connected to the comb barrel 20 by rubber blocks, silicone blocks, or other elastic members.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 3, in Embodiment I, the first elastic plate 32 comprises a first plate body 321 and two second plate bodies 322 disposed on opposite sides of the first plate body 321. Two rows of first comb teeth 31 are respectively disposed on sides of the two second plate bodies 322 facing away from the first plate body 321. The first plate body 321 and the second plate bodies 322 are arranged at an inclined angle relative to each other.

[0082] That is, the first elastic plate 32 may be a plate body that itself has a certain degree of elasticity, such as a rubber plate or a silicone plate. Alternatively, even if the first elastic plate 32 itself does not have inherent elasticity, the inclined arrangement between the first plate body 321 and the second plate bodies 322 causes the second plate bodies 322 to bend relative to the first plate body 321 when the first comb teeth 31 are subjected to force. As a result, during use of the hair comb, force applied to the comb teeth is transmitted to bending deformation between the second plate bodies 322 and the first plate body 321, thereby substantially reducing peak stress at a connection between the comb teeth and the first elastic plate 32, significantly reducing the risk of breakage of the first comb teeth 31, and improving the service life of the hair comb.

[0083] Accordingly, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the first elastic plate 32 may be a plate body having inherent elasticity, or may be a plate body that relies on favorable bending-fatigue resistance between the second plate bodies 322 and the first plate body 321 even if the plate body itself does not possess elasticity.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 4, in Embodiment II, the first elastic plate 32 further comprises two third plate bodies 323. The two third plate bodies 323 are respectively connected to the two second plate bodies 322 on sides facing away from the first plate body 321. The two rows of first comb teeth 31 are respectively connected to sides of the two third plate bodies 323 facing away from the second plate bodies 322.

[0085] By further providing the third plate bodies 323, force applied to the comb teeth is transmitted to bending deformation between the third plate bodies 323 and the second plate bodies 322, and between the second plate bodies 322 and the first plate body 321, thereby further improving bending-fatigue resistance of the first elastic plate 32 and further improving the service life of the first elastic plate 32.

[0086] Specifically, the first elastic plate 32 is made of a nylon material. Nylon exhibits strong bending-fatigue resistance, such that the first plate body 321, the second plate bodies 322, and the third plate bodies 323 are not prone to breakage during bending and are suitable for repeated bending and folding, thereby improving the service life of the first elastic plate 32. In other embodiments, the first elastic plate 32 may alternatively be made of spring steel, titanium alloy, polyurethane, or other suitable materials.

[0087] Referring to FIG. 5, in Embodiment III, the comb tooth portion comprises second comb teeth 33, and the elastic component comprises a second elastic plate 34. A plurality of second comb teeth 33 are arranged at intervals on one second elastic plate 34. The second elastic plate 34 is connected to the comb barrel 20, and the plurality of second comb teeth 33 extend outward through corresponding comb tooth holes 24.

[0088] That is, the second elastic plate 34 itself has a certain degree of elasticity, such that force applied to the second comb teeth 33 is transmitted to the second elastic plate 34, thereby reducing peak stress at a connection between the comb teeth and the elastic component, reducing the risk of comb tooth breakage, and improving the service life of the hair comb.

[0089] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and FIG. 6, specifically, one of the comb barrel 20 and the second elastic plate 34 is provided with a first limiting groove 23, and the other is provided with a first limiting protrusion 341. The second elastic plate 34 is slidably connected to the comb barrel 20 through cooperation between the first limiting protrusion 341 and the first limiting groove 23.

[0090] That is, when installing the second comb teeth 33, the second elastic plate 34 is first slid into the first limiting groove 23 via the first limiting protrusion 341, and then the second comb teeth 33 are sequentially inserted through the corresponding comb tooth holes 24 and mounted on the second elastic plate 34.

[0091] It can be understood that, during installation of the first elastic plate 32 and the first comb teeth 31, the first comb teeth 31 are first mounted on the first elastic plate 32. Then, the first comb teeth 31 on one side of the first elastic plate 32 are inserted into the corresponding comb tooth holes 24. Subsequently, the first elastic plate 32 is bent such that the first comb teeth 31 on the other side of the first elastic plate 32 are also inserted into the corresponding comb tooth holes 24, thereby completing installation of the comb tooth assembly. However, bending the first elastic plate 32 requires a relatively large operating space.

[0092] Accordingly, in one embodiment, the comb barrel 20 comprises a first comb barrel 21 and a second comb barrel 22. Cross-sections of the first comb barrel 21 and the second comb barrel 22 are semi-circular or semi-elliptical, and the first comb barrel 21 and the second comb barrel 22 are detachably connected. Accordingly, a user may first separately mount the comb tooth assemblies on the first comb barrel 21 and the second comb barrel 22, and after installation of structures on the first comb barrel 21 and the second comb barrel 22 is completed, assemble the first comb barrel 21 and the second comb barrel 22 together, thereby further improving assembling efficiency of the hair comb.

[0093] Specifically, one of the first comb barrel 21 and the second comb barrel 22 is provided with a second limiting protrusion, and the other is provided with a second limiting groove, such that the first comb barrel 21 and the second comb barrel 22 are slidably connected through cooperation between the second limiting protrusion and the second limiting groove. This connection structure is simple to assemble, requiring only that the first comb barrel 21 be slid along an extending direction of the second limiting protrusion, thereby further improving assembly efficiency of the comb barrel 20. In other embodiments, a snap-fit structure may alternatively be provided on the first comb barrel 21 and the second comb barrel 22 to realize snap-fit connection therebetween.

[0094] In some embodiments, the comb barrel 20 is provided with a mounting hole 25, and the comb barrel 20 is fixed to the housing 10 through the mounting hole 25. By cooperation between a threaded fastener and the mounting hole 25, the comb barrel 20 and the housing 10 are installed, thereby improving installation efficiency. Moreover, the threaded connection with the housing 10 is simple, stable, and reliable, thereby improving mounting stability and reliability of the comb barrel 20 and reducing manufacturing cost of the hair comb.

[0095] In some embodiments, a tubular curling comb includes a heating element disposed therein. When in use, the curling comb winds hair therearound, and the heating element heats the hair for a period of time, causing the hair to bend, thereby achieving a styling effect.

[0096] However, existing tubular curling combs suffer from low styling efficiency, mainly because they are slow to heat hair.

[0097] Accordingly, the present application provides a curling comb.

[0098] Referring to FIGS. 7, 8, and FIG. 9, in one embodiment of the present application, the curling comb comprises a handle 1100.

[0099] Further, in some embodiments, the curling comb further comprises a battery and a control board, wherein the battery and the control board are disposed within the handle 1100. It should be noted that the battery is rechargeable, such that the curling comb is capable of wireless operation. In some embodiments, a plurality of batteries may be provided, and multiple batteries may be installed in the curling comb during use to supply electrical power. The batteries may be detachably connected to the handle 1100.

[0100] A plurality of arc-shaped heat-conducting bases 1200 fixed to the handle 1100. The plurality of arc-shaped heat-conducting bases 1200 are configured to be assembled together to form a tubular heat-conducting base 1200. In some embodiments, the heat-conducting bases 1200 are fixed to the handle 1100 by screws. When the plurality of heat-conducting bases 1200 are fixed to the handle 1100, the plurality of heat-conducting bases 1200 are assembled on the handle 1100 to form the tubular heat-conducting base. It should be noted that a gap is formed between each pair of adjacent heat-conducting bases 1200.

[0101] In one embodiment, the curling comb further comprises a cover 1600 (see FIG. 10), wherein the heat-conducting base 1200 is disposed between the cover 1600 and the handle 1100, and the cover 1600 is fastened to the handle 1100 by screws. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, a limiting structure is further provided between the heat-conducting base 1200 and the handle 1100. After the cover 1600 is fastened to the handle 1100 by screws, the limiting structure cooperates with the cover 1600 to limit the heat-conducting base 1200 on the handle 1100.

[0102] Specifically, the cover 1600 is configured to limit movement of the heat-conducting base 1200 in an axial direction of the handle 1100, and the limiting structure is configured to limit movement of the heat-conducting base 1200 in a radial direction of the handle 1100. In one embodiment, the limiting structure may be implemented as follows: each heat-conducting base 1200 is provided with a guide hole 1290, the guide hole 1290 being configured to allow a screw to pass through. That is, when the cover 1600 is fastened to the handle 1100 by screws, the screws connecting the cover 1600 and the handle 1100 pass through the guide holes 1290 of the heat-conducting bases 1200, such that cooperation between the screws and the guide holes 1290 limits radial movement of the heat-conducting bases 1200 relative to the handle 1100. In some embodiments, when the heat-conducting bases 1200 are not provided with guide holes 1290, an interfitting structure may be provided between the heat-conducting bases 1200 and the handle 1100 to limit radial movement of the heat-conducting bases 1200.

[0103] A plurality of comb tooth assemblies 1300 mounted to the heat-conducting base 1200 and uniformly distributed along a circumference of the tubular heat-conducting base 1200. Adjacent comb tooth assemblies 1300 define a first surface 1210 on an outer surface of the heat-conducting base 1200, and the plurality of comb tooth assemblies 1300 define a plurality of first surfaces 1210 on the heat-conducting base 1200.

[0104] Further, in one embodiment, the heat-conducting base 1200 may be made of aluminum. In other embodiments, the heat-conducting base 1200 may be made of other materials having good thermal conductivity. It should be noted that the comb tooth assemblies 1300 are configured to comb hair and increase friction between the hair and the curling comb. Each comb tooth assembly 1300 comprises a plurality of comb teeth. When the curling comb is rotated, the comb tooth assemblies 1300 grip the hair, such that the hair is wound around the heat-conducting base 1200.

[0105] Since a first surface 1210 is formed between each pair of adjacent comb tooth assemblies 1300, that is, no comb teeth are provided on the first surfaces 1210 of the heat-conducting base 1200, after the hair is wound around the heat-conducting base 1200, the hair can effectively contact the first surfaces 1210. Through the action of multiple first surfaces 1210, the hair wound on the curling comb is able to better contact the heat-conducting base 1200. In other words, by virtue of the first surfaces 1210, the contact area between the hair and the heat-conducting base 1200 is increased, thereby increasing the heating speed of the hair, accelerating heat transfer to the hair, improving styling efficiency, and solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0106] A plurality of heating elements 1400 mounted on an inner wall of the heat-conducting base 1200. Heat generated by operation of the heating elements 1400 is transferred to the hair through the heat-conducting base 1200. Further, in some embodiments, the heating elements 1400 may be implemented as heating sheets.

[0107] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9, each heat-conducting base 1200 is provided with a first surface 1210. Further, in some embodiments, one heat-conducting base 1200 is provided with one first surface 1210, while in other embodiments, one heat-conducting base 1200 may be provided with two first surfaces 1210.

[0108] A first mounting cavity 1220 is formed inside the heat-conducting base 1200. The first mounting cavity 1220 is arranged to correspond to the first surface 1210 and is configured to accommodate a heating element 1400. In this manner, heat generated by operation of the heating element 1400 can be rapidly transferred to the first surface 1210, thereby allowing the hair to be heated more quickly and improving styling efficiency.

[0109] In some embodiments, an inner wall of the heat-conducting base 1200 protrudes to form a third connecting plate 1260 and a fourth connecting plate 1270. The third connecting plate 1260 and the fourth connecting plate 1270 are spaced apart from each other, and the first mounting cavity 1220 is formed between the third connecting plate 1260 and the fourth connecting plate 1270.

[0110] Further, in some embodiments, the heating element 1400 is detachably mounted in the first mounting cavity 1220.

[0111] Further, in some embodiments, when the heat-conducting base 1200 is provided with a guide hole 1290, the guide hole 1290 is formed in one of the third connecting plate 1260 or the fourth connecting plate 1270. Such an arrangement avoids increasing an overall thickness of the heat-conducting base 1200, thereby preventing excessive thickness from adversely affecting the speed at which heat generated by the heating element 1400 is transferred to the first surface 1210. In other words, this arrangement shortens a distance between the heating element 1400 and the first surface 1210, facilitating rapid heat transfer to the first surface 1210.

[0112] It can be understood that, since the third connecting plate 1260 and the fourth connecting plate 1270 protrude from the inner wall of the heat-conducting base 1200, providing the guide hole 1290 in one of the third connecting plate 1260 or the fourth connecting plate 1270 eliminates the need to form the guide hole 1290 directly in a main body of the heat-conducting base 1200. If the guide hole 1290 were instead formed directly in the heat-conducting base 1200, the heat-conducting base 1200 would need to have a greater thickness; otherwise, forming the guide hole 1290 could reduce structural strength of the heat-conducting base 1200.

[0113] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the comb tooth assembly 1300 further comprises two first comb tooth members 1310. The heat-conducting base 1200 is provided with two second mounting cavities 1230, and the first mounting cavity 1220 is disposed between the two second mounting cavities 1230. The two second mounting cavities 1230 are configured to accommodate the first comb tooth members 1310 of two adjacent comb tooth assemblies 1300. Each first comb tooth member 1310 comprises a plurality of first comb teeth 1311, and distal ends of the first comb teeth 1311 are disposed on an outer side of the tubular structure.

[0114] It should be noted that, by disposing the first mounting cavity 1220 between the two second mounting cavities 1230, the first comb tooth members 1310 mounted in the second mounting cavities 1230 not only function to comb the hair, but also provide a protective function. Specifically, when a user grips the heat-conducting base 1200, the first comb tooth members 1310 disposed on both sides of the first surface 1210 provide resistance to the user’s palm, thereby preventing direct contact between the user’s palm and the first surface 1210 and avoiding burns.

[0115] It should be further noted that the first comb tooth members 1310 on the two sides of the first surface 1210 respectively belong to two different comb tooth assemblies 1300, rather than a single comb tooth assembly 1300.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second mounting cavities 1230 may be formed in an outer wall or an inner wall of the heat-conducting base 1200.

[0117] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 8, the heat-conducting base 1200 is provided with a through hole 1231, and the through hole 1231 is configured to allow distal ends of the first comb teeth 1311 to pass through. In this case, the second mounting cavity 1230 is formed in an inner wall of the heat-conducting base 1200, and the first comb tooth member 1310 is mounted on the inner wall of the heat-conducting base 1200. The first comb teeth 1311 of the first comb tooth member 1310 extend outward through the through holes 1231 of the heat-conducting base 1200, such that distal ends of the first comb teeth 1311 are located on an outer side of the heat-conducting base 1200.

[0118] The first comb tooth member 1310 comprises a first base body 1312, and a plurality of first comb teeth 1311 are mounted on the first base body 1312. The first base body 1312 is detachably mounted in the second mounting cavity 1230. It should be noted that the first base body 1312 may be detachably connected to the second mounting cavity 1230 by a snap-fit structure or by screws.

[0119] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9, a limiting plate 1500 is provided in the second mounting cavity 1230. The limiting plate 1500 is inserted into and engaged with a cavity wall of the second mounting cavity 1230, and the limiting plate 1500 is configured to limit the first comb tooth member 1310 within the second mounting cavity 1230. In this manner, installation of the first comb tooth member 1310 in the second mounting cavity 1230 is facilitated. Specifically, after the first comb teeth 1311 on the first base body 1312 pass through the through holes 1231 of the heat-conducting base 1200 and the first base body 1312 is positioned within the second mounting cavity 1230, the limiting plate 1500 is inserted into the second mounting cavity 1230, thereby limiting the first base body 1312 within the second mounting cavity 1230.

[0120] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 9 and 11, two first comb tooth members 1310 are provided in one second mounting cavity 1230, and the two first comb tooth members 1310 may be identical to or different from each other. Further, when the two first comb tooth members 1310 disposed in one second mounting cavity 1230 are different, a first comb tooth member 1310A is configured to comb and detangle hair, and a first comb tooth member 1310B is configured to provide protection, thereby reducing a likelihood that a user’s palm contacts the first surface 1210.

[0121] The first comb tooth member 1310B is disposed closer to the first surface 1210, and the first comb teeth 1311 of the first comb tooth member 1310B are higher than the first comb teeth 1311 of the first comb tooth member 1310A. In some embodiments, diameters of the first comb teeth 1311 of the first comb tooth member 1310 range from 0.7 mm to 1.2 mm. Further, in some embodiments, spacing between adjacent first comb teeth 1311 of the first comb tooth member 1310B is greater than spacing between adjacent first comb teeth 1311 of the first comb tooth member 1310A.

[0122] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9, a third mounting cavity 1230 is formed between adjacent heat-conducting bases 1200. The comb tooth assembly 1300 comprises a second comb tooth member 1320 mounted in the third mounting cavity 1230. The second comb tooth member 1320 comprises a plurality of comb tooth groups 1321, and distal ends of the comb tooth groups 1321 are located on an outer side of the third mounting cavity 1230.

[0123] In some embodiments, each comb tooth group 1321 is composed of a plurality of second comb teeth 13211. Specifically, each comb tooth group 1321 includes 2 to 8 second comb teeth 13211, and a diameter of the second comb teeth 13211 may range from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. In this manner, during hair combing, since the plurality of second comb teeth 13211 are arranged along a first circumference, with each comb tooth group 1321 corresponding to one first circumference, friction between each comb tooth group 1321 and the hair is increased, thereby providing a hair-gripping effect. Further, the plurality of second comb teeth 13211 are arranged along the first circumference.

[0124] It can be understood that, since the second comb tooth member 1320 is disposed between adjacent heat-conducting bases 1200, the second comb tooth member 1320 is also disposed between two first comb tooth members 1310. Specifically, the second comb tooth member 1320 is disposed between two first comb tooth members A 1310A.

[0125] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 8, one end of the heat-conducting base 1200 protrudes inwardly toward the tubular structure to form a first connecting plate 1240, and the other end protrudes inwardly to form a second connecting plate 1250. The first connecting plate 1240 is provided with a slot 1241, and the second connecting plate 1250 is provided with a plug-in portion 1251. When a plurality of arc-shaped heat-conducting bases 1200 are assembled, the plug-in portion 1251 of one heat-conducting base 1200 is inserted into the slot 1241 of an adjacent heat-conducting base 1200. The third mounting cavity 1230 is formed between the first connecting plate 1240 and the second connecting plate 1250.

[0126] Through cooperation between the slot 1241 and the plug-in portion 1251, on the one hand, connection stability between adjacent heat-conducting bases 1200 is improved, and on the other hand, a relatively large mounting space is provided for the second comb tooth member 1320, allowing the second comb tooth member 1320 to be stably mounted on the tubular heat-conducting base 1200. That is, since the second comb tooth member 1320 experiences relatively large resistance during hair gripping, the enlarged mounting space enhances stability of the connection between the second comb tooth member 1320 and the tubular heat-conducting base 1200, enabling the second comb tooth member 1320 to better withstand resistance from the hair.

[0127] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, when the curling comb comprises the first connecting plate 1240, the second connecting plate 1250, a third connecting plate 1260, and a fourth connecting plate 1270, a second mounting cavity 1230 is formed between the first connecting plate 1240 and the third connecting plate 1260, and another second mounting cavity 1230 is formed between the second connecting plate 1250 and the fourth connecting plate 1270. In this manner, utilization of internal space of the tubular heat-conducting base 1200 is improved, allowing the internal space to be as large as possible. As a result, more air can be accommodated therein, thereby reducing heat transfer from the heating element 1400 to the handle 1100 and preventing adverse effects on battery endurance of a battery disposed in the handle 1100.

[0128] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 11, the second comb tooth member 1320 comprises a second base body 1322, and the plurality of comb tooth groups 1321 are mounted on the second base body 1322. The first connecting plate 1240 and the second connecting plate 1250 are each provided with a first protrusion 1280. The first protrusions 1280 are configured to limit the second base body 1322 within the third mounting cavity 1230. In this manner, the second comb tooth member 1320 is securely retained on the tubular heat-conducting base 1200, and the first protrusions 1280 reduce a likelihood that the second base body 1322 disengages from the third mounting cavity 1230.

[0129] In some embodiments, the present application provides a curling structure for application to a curling comb. It should be noted that the curling comb comprises a heating element, which is capable of generating heat, and the heating element may be implemented as a heating sheet.

[0130] Referring to FIGS. 12, 13, and FIG. 14, in one embodiment of the present application, the curling structure comprises a tubular heat-conducting base 2100, configured to accommodate the heating element. It should be noted that the heating element is mounted inside the tubular heat-conducting base 2100. Further, in some embodiments, the tubular heat-conducting base 2100 may be formed as an integral structure. In other embodiments, the tubular heat-conducting base 2100 may be assembled from a plurality of components to form a tubular structure. The heat-conducting base 2100 may be made of aluminum or other materials that have good thermal conductivity.

[0131] A plurality of comb tooth assemblies 2200 are provided, the plurality of comb tooth assemblies 2200 being distributed circumferentially around the heat-conducting base 2100. The plurality of comb tooth assemblies 2200 may be uniformly or non-uniformly distributed along the circumference of the heat-conducting base 2100. Each comb tooth assembly 2200 comprises a first comb tooth member 2210 mounted to the heat-conducting base 2100.

[0132] The first comb tooth member 2210 comprises a plurality of comb tooth groups 2211, the plurality of comb tooth groups 2211 being arranged at intervals along a first direction. Each comb tooth group 2211 comprises a plurality of first comb teeth 22111. The plurality of first comb teeth 22111 are arranged along a first circumference 2212, and the first comb teeth 22111 are arranged at a preset angle relative to an axial direction of the heat-conducting base 2100. The preset angle may be, for example, 90 degrees, 80 degrees, 100 degrees, or other suitable angles. Further, each comb tooth group 2211 corresponds to one first circumference 2212.

[0133] It should be noted that the first direction may be a linear direction extending along a height direction of the heat-conducting base 2100, or a spiral direction extending along the height direction of the heat-conducting base 2100. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first direction is a linear direction extending along the height direction of the heat-conducting base 2100.

[0134] By providing the plurality of comb tooth assemblies 2200 distributed circumferentially around the heat-conducting base 2100, and by configuring each comb tooth assembly 2200 to include the first comb tooth member 2210, that is, by arranging a plurality of first comb tooth members 2210 around the circumference of the heat-conducting base 2100, and by configuring each first comb tooth member 2210 to include a plurality of comb tooth groups 2211 arranged at intervals along the first direction, with each comb tooth group 2211 comprising a plurality of first comb teeth 22111 arranged along the first circumference, each comb tooth group 2211 approximates a columnar comb tooth structure.

[0135] Accordingly, during hair styling, hair is able to contact multiple first comb teeth 22111 within each comb tooth group 2211. Since the plurality of first comb teeth 22111 are arranged along the first circumference, friction between each comb tooth group 2211 and the hair is increased, thereby increasing friction between the curling structure and the hair. As a result, during a winding operation, the curling structure is able to achieve an improved hair-gripping effect, allowing hair to be more easily wound around the curling structure and thereby solving the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0136] In one embodiment, referring to FIGS. 13 and 15, the comb tooth assembly 2200 further comprises a third comb tooth member 2220 and a second comb tooth member 2230 mounted to the heat-conducting base 2100. The third comb tooth member 2220 comprises a plurality of third comb teeth 2221 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the second comb tooth member 2230 comprises a plurality of second comb teeth 2231 arranged at intervals along the first direction.

[0137] A height of the second comb teeth 2231 is greater than a height of the third comb teeth 2221, and a height of the first comb teeth 22111 is greater than the height of the third comb teeth 2221. A spacing between adjacent second comb teeth 2231 is greater than a spacing between adjacent third comb teeth 2221, and the spacing between adjacent second comb teeth 2231 is greater than a spacing between adjacent comb tooth groups 2211.

[0138] It can be understood that, since spacing between the second comb teeth 2231 of the second comb tooth member 2230 is relatively large compared to spacing between the comb tooth groups 2211, friction between the second comb teeth 2231 and the hair is relatively small.

[0139] Further, spacing between adjacent third comb teeth 2221 is greater than spacing between adjacent first comb teeth 22111. Since the height of the first comb teeth 22111 is greater than the height of the third comb teeth 2221, the first comb teeth 22111 are disposed closer to a scalp during use, allowing hair close to the scalp to be lifted. Since the spacing between adjacent third comb teeth 2221 is greater than the spacing between adjacent first comb teeth 22111, friction between the third comb teeth 2221 and the hair is smaller than friction between the comb tooth groups 2211 and the hair. Accordingly, during combing, the third comb teeth 2221 provides a combing effect for hair lifted by the comb tooth groups 2211.

[0140] At the same time, since the height of the second comb teeth 2231 is greater than the height of the third comb teeth 2221, the second comb teeth 2231 protects the user from the heat. Specifically, when a user grips the heat-conducting base 2100, the second comb teeth 2231 increase a distance between the user’s palm and an outer surface of the heat-conducting base 2100, thereby reducing a likelihood of burns caused by contact with the outer surface of the heat-conducting base 2100.

[0141] Although the provision of the second comb teeth 2231 increases the number of comb tooth types on the outer surface of the curling structure, since spacing between adjacent second comb teeth 2231 is greater than spacing between adjacent comb tooth groups 2211, friction between the second comb teeth 2231 and the hair during use is relatively small and does not adversely affect the hair-combing experience.

[0142] In one embodiment, a diameter of the first comb teeth 22111 ranges from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm, and each comb tooth group 2211 includes 2 to 8 first comb teeth 22111. Further, when the diameter and quantity of the first comb teeth 22111 fall within the above ranges, the comb tooth group 2211 provides relatively good friction with the hair, facilitating gripping of the hair by the comb tooth group 2211. If the diameter of the first comb teeth 22111 is less than 0.2 mm, the first comb teeth 22111 are relatively soft during hair gripping and are not conducive to gripping hair. If the diameter of the first comb teeth 22111 is greater than 0.5 mm, the structure of the comb tooth group 2211 becomes relatively large, making use inconvenient. Similarly, if the number of first comb teeth 22111 exceeds eight, the structure of the comb tooth group 2211 also becomes excessively large.

[0143] In one embodiment, a diameter of the third comb teeth 2221 ranges from 0.7 mm to 1.2 mm, and a diameter of the second comb teeth 2231 ranges from 0.7 mm to 1.2 mm. The second comb teeth 2231 is configured to comb and detangle hair, and the third comb teeth 2221 is configured to provide protection. With such relatively large diameters, the third comb teeth 2221 and the second comb teeth 2231 have improved resistance capability, enabling the third comb teeth 2221 to better resist resistance from hair and thereby improve combing performance, and enabling the second comb teeth 2231 to better resist resistance from a user’s palm. If the diameter of the third comb teeth 2221 or the second comb teeth 2231 is less than 0.7 mm, resistance capability is reduced. If the diameter exceeds 1.2 mm, the structures of the third comb tooth member 2220 and the second comb tooth member 2230 become excessively large, making use inconvenient.

[0144] In one embodiment, the comb tooth assemblies 2200 are provided in three groups. In some embodiments, the comb tooth assemblies 2200 may alternatively be provided in four groups. When three comb tooth assemblies 2200 are provided, the three comb tooth assemblies 2200 are distributed circumferentially around the heat-conducting base 2100 such that the heat-conducting base 2100 is divided into three equal portions. In this case, during a winding operation, the comb tooth assemblies 2200 are able to wrap hair more effectively as compared to an arrangement having only two comb tooth assemblies.

[0145] In one embodiment, the comb tooth assemblies 2200 are detachably connected to the heat-conducting base 2100. In some embodiments, the comb tooth assemblies 2200 may alternatively be directly fixed to the heat-conducting base 2100. Further, the comb tooth assemblies 2200 may be fixed to the heat-conducting base 2100 by adhesive bonding.

[0146] In one embodiment, the third comb teeth 2221 are made of an elastic plastic material. In this manner, during hair combing, when resistance from hair is excessive, the third comb teeth 2221 are capable of elastic deformation, thereby preventing the third comb teeth 2221 from being pulled off or broken by hair resistance. Further, the first comb teeth 22111 and the second comb teeth 2231 may also be made of elastic plastic materials.

[0147] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 13, a first surface 2110 is formed between each pair of adjacent comb tooth assemblies 2200. When the comb tooth assemblies 2200 are provided in three groups, three first surfaces are formed on an outer surface of the heat-conducting base 2100, thereby improving a contact area between the hair and the heat-conducting base 2100.

[0148] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 13, two third comb tooth members 2220 and two second comb tooth members 2230 are provided. The two third comb tooth members 2220 are disposed between the two second comb tooth members 2230, and the first comb tooth member 2210 is disposed between the two third comb tooth members 2220. This arrangement facilitates improved hair combing by the comb tooth assemblies 2200. Specifically, since the first comb tooth member 2210 is disposed between the two third comb tooth members 2220, regardless of whether the curling structure is used with a left hand or a right hand, the two third comb tooth members 2220 can provide effective combing of the hair, thereby improving hair-combing performance.

[0149] Further, referring to FIG. 13, the two third comb tooth members 2220 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the first comb tooth member 2210, and the two second comb tooth members 2230 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the first comb tooth member 2210. In this manner, usability of the curling structure is improved, such that the curling structure provides the same user experience regardless of left-hand or right-hand use.

[0150] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 13, a height direction of the comb tooth groups 2211 is perpendicular to an outer circumference of the heat-conducting base 2100, and a height direction of the third comb teeth 2221 is also perpendicular to the outer circumference of the heat-conducting base 2100. In this manner, when the curling structure is used near the scalp, the first comb teeth 22111 and the third comb teeth 2221 are arranged approximately perpendicular to the scalp, facilitating penetration of the first comb teeth 22111 and the third comb teeth 2221 through the hair and enabling the comb tooth groups 2211 to more effectively grip the hair.

[0151] In some embodiments, a height direction of the second comb teeth 2231 is inclined relative to an outer circumference of the heat-conducting base 2100. Adjacent second comb teeth 2231 of adjacent comb tooth assemblies 2200 are arranged parallel to each other. It should be noted that inclination angles of the plurality of second comb teeth 2231 relative to the outer circumference of the heat-conducting base 2100 are complementary, such that adjacent second comb teeth 2231 of adjacent comb tooth assemblies 2200 are parallel. In this manner, when a user grips the heat-conducting base 2100 with a palm facing the first surface, the second comb teeth 2231 are oriented substantially vertically relative to the palm, thereby enabling the second comb teeth 2231 to better support the user’s palm.

[0152] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 15, each comb tooth group 2211 has a tapered configuration, narrowing from a top portion toward a bottom portion. It should be noted that the top portion of the comb tooth group 2211 refers to an end of the comb tooth group 2211 located farther away from the heat-conducting base 2100, and the bottom portion refers to an end of the comb tooth group 2211 located closer to the heat-conducting base 2100. With this configuration, when the curling structure approaches the hair, the top portion of the comb tooth group 2211 first contacts the hair. Since the top portion of the comb tooth group 2211 is relatively more expanded than the bottom portion, penetration of the first comb teeth 22111 through the hair is facilitated, and resistance applied by the hair to the top portion of the comb tooth group 2211 is reduced.

[0153] The present application further provides a curling comb. Referring to FIG. 12, the curling comb comprises a heating element 2300, the curling structure described in any of the above embodiments, and a handle 2400. Since the curling comb employs all of the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, it has at least all of the beneficial effects achieved by those embodiments, which will not be repeated herein.
