Description

Hair straightener dryer and styling method thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hairdressing devices, in particular to a hair straightener dryer and a hair styling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, we often use hair straighteners to straighten our hair to achieve a beautiful hair effect. Most traditional hair straighteners simply use a heating plate to clamp the hair, heat it and straighten it. A few hair straighteners also have a blow-drying function, which can dry the hair while straightening it.

[0003] These hair straighteners basically work with both straightening and blowing functions, and cannot be used as hair straighteners or hair dryers alone. Their functions are relatively simple and cannot meet the needs of consumers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to address the deficiencies in the prior art, and its main purpose is to provide a hair straightener dryer that solves the problem that the prior hair straighteners have relatively single functions.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A hair straightener dryer, comprising:

[0007] The hair straightening unit comprises two arms hinged to each other at one end, and two hair straightening plates facing each other are provided on the shaping surfaces of the two arms;

[0008] The air duct unit includes an air supply duct located on one arm and an air flow channel located on the other arm. The air flow channel is opposite to the air outlet of the air supply duct and guides the air flow out. The air outlet of the air supply duct is located beside the two straight plates.

[0009] The control unit is provided on any one of the arms, and the control unit controls the hair straightening unit and the hair dryer unit to work individually or together to enter the hair straightening mode, the hair blowing mode or the hair straightening and hair blowing mode.

[0010] As a preferred solution, the air supply duct has an air inlet and an air outlet, and a motor and a first heating element are provided in the air supply duct. The air flow is blown out from the air inlet through the motor and the heating element and out from the air outlet.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the air inlet is located at the handle of the hair straightener barrel, and the air outlet is located in the middle of the styling surface of the arm with the air supply duct and between the two straightening plates.

[0012] As a preferred solution, a dual-function channel for low-pressure airflow and drainage is provided on the shaping surface of the arm having the air supply duct.

[0013] As a preferred solution, the dual-function channel has a water inlet and a drain outlet, the water inlet is opened between the air outlet and the corresponding straightening plate, and the drain outlet is located on the back of the arm.

[0014] As a preferred solution, the hair straightening plate is provided with a second heating element.

[0015] As a preferred solution, it further comprises a lock for limiting the opening of the two arms, and the lock is located on any one of the arms.

[0016] As a preferred solution, it further comprises a display unit, which is located on any one of the arms.

[0017] A hair straightener dryer styling method, based on the hair straightener dryer, enters one of the following styling modes: (1) straight hair mode; (2) cold air mode; (3) hot air mode; (4) straight hair + hot air mode; (5) straight hair + cold air mode.

[0018] As a preferred solution, (1) when in straight hair mode: only the second heating element of the straight hair plate works, and the motor and the first heating element do not work.

[0019] (2) In the cold air blowing mode: only the motor works, the first heating element and the second heating element do not work to blow out natural wind;

[0020] (3) When in hot air blowing mode: only the motor and the first heating element work together, and the second heating element does not work;

[0021] (4) When in straight hair + cold air mode: only the motor and the second heating element work together, and the first heating element does not work;

[0022] (5) When in straight hair + hot air blowing mode: the first heating element, the motor and the second heating element work together.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, it can be seen from the above technical solution that the control unit can control the operation of the hair straightening unit and the hair dryer unit separately or jointly, and switch freely between the hair straightening mode, the hair blowing mode or the hair straightening and hair blowing mode, so that this product can be used as a hair straightener alone, a hair dryer or a hair straightener + hair dryer. It has diverse functions and is easy to use, and is deeply loved by consumers.

[0024] The product of the present application has a straight hair mode, a hot air blowing mode, a cold air blowing mode, a straight hair + cold air blowing mode and a straight hair + hot air blowing mode, with diversified functions. Consumers can choose or switch different modes to beautify their hair according to the actual situation.

[0025] By providing an air supply duct in one arm and an air flow channel on the styling surface, the air flow channel guides the air flow delivered from the air supply duct (i.e., forms straight blowing), effectively preventing air flow turbulence, and basically does not reduce the flow rate of the air flow and does not affect the air volume, thereby shortening the styling time and improving the styling efficiency; at the same time, after the air flow is guided, it is effectively prevented from blowing onto the straightening plate and affecting the heat of the straightening unit.

[0054] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8, as shown, the present application provides a hair straightener dryer, which is an integrated handheld device that can be used to quickly dry hair and straighten hair at the same time.

[0056] A hair straightener dryer comprises a hair straightening unit, a dryer unit, and a control unit 30. The hair straightening unit is equivalent to a hair straightener and is used to straighten hair. The dryer unit is equivalent to a hair dryer and is used to dry hair. The control unit 30 is used to control the hair straightening unit and the dryer unit to operate jointly or independently, thereby switching between different styling modes.

[0057] The hair straightening unit includes two arms 11 hinged to each other at one end, and two hair straightening plates 12 facing each other are provided on the styling surfaces 101 of the two arms, and the hair straightening plates 12 are used to heat and straighten the hair.

[0058] The air duct unit includes an air supply duct 21 located on one arm and an air flow channel 22 located on the other arm. The air flow channel is opposite to the air outlet of the air supply duct and guides the air flow out. The air outlet of the air supply duct 21 is located beside the two straightening plates 12.

[0059] The control unit 30 is provided on any arm 11. The control unit 30 controls the hair straightening unit and the hair dryer unit to work individually or together to enter the hair straightening mode, the hair blowing mode or the hair straightening and hair blowing mode. Thus, the product can be switched freely among various usage modes, has diversified functions, and is easy to use, and is deeply loved by consumers.

[0060] In the hair straightening mode, the consumer clamps a section of wet hair between the two opposite straightening plates 12 and pulls the device in the direction of hair extension. The two pairs of straightening plates 12 scrape the wet hair to remove excess unbound water and heat the hair to accelerate the subsequent evaporation of water. During the pulling process, the two pairs of straightening plates 12 also straighten the hair for styling.

[0061] In the blowing mode, the air outlet 215 of the air supply duct 21 delivers airflow, and the consumer aligns the airflow channel 22 with the hair, and the blown airflow dries the hair.

[0062] In the straight hair blowing mode, wet hair is clamped between the styling surfaces 101, and the device is pulled along the extension direction of the hair. The two pairs of straightening plates 12 straighten the hair. At the same time, the hair dryer unit dries the hair 1, completing the straightening and drying of the hair.

[0063] More specifically, as shown in FIG1 , in one embodiment, the two arms 11 are respectively a first arm 111 and a second arm 112 , and one end of the first arm 111 and the second arm 112 are hinged to each other, so that the first arm 111 and the second arm 112 cooperate to make the modeling surface 101 have a closed state (see FIG1 ) and an open state (see FIG2 ).

[0064] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, one usage method is: when the styling surfaces 101 of the first and second arms 111, 112 are closed to clamp the hair, the straightening unit is activated, and the straightening plates 12 can straighten the hair. A second usage method is: when the styling surfaces 101 of the first and second arms 111, 112 are closed, the dryer unit is activated, and the device is placed close to the hair to air-dry the hair. A third usage method is: when the device is open, wet hair can be stored between the first and second arms 111, 112.

[0065] As shown in FIG1 , a plurality of buttons 70 are provided on the outer wall of one arm 11 , and the plurality of buttons 70 include a switch button, a speed adjustment button and different mode buttons.

[0066] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a display unit 80 is also provided on the outer wall of either arm 11. This display unit 80 provides feedback on styling information, such as the current mode, based on user needs. In other embodiments, the hair straightener's dryer may also be equipped with a temperature detection unit, a humidity detection unit, etc., and these conditions can also be fed back to the display unit 80 based on user needs, allowing the user to immediately understand the situation and adjust their styling method or strategy.

[0067] As shown in FIG2 , in one embodiment of the present application, the hair straightener dryer further includes a locking unit 90 for limiting the opening of the two arms. The locking unit 90 is provided on either arm. When closed, the locking unit 90 can lock the two arms 11 together without manually pressing the arms 11. The locking unit 90 includes a hook groove 91 provided on one arm 11 and a push button 92 provided on the other arm 11. The push button 92 is provided with a locking hook. When the push button 92 is pushed into place, the locking hook locks with the hook groove 91.

[0068] As shown in FIG3 , two straightening plates 12 are spaced apart on the styling surfaces 101 of the two arms 11. The straightening plates are provided with a second heating element. When straightening hair, the second heating element transfers heat to the straightening plates 12. Furthermore, since there are two straightening plates 12 on each styling surface, the heating straightening effect is better than that of a traditional single straightening plate, and the styling efficiency is improved. In addition, the air outlet 215 of the air supply duct 21 and the air flow channel 22 are provided between the left and right straightening plates 12 arranged at intervals, so as to rationally utilize space and reduce the volume of the equipment. Optionally, the straightening plate 12 is an aluminum plate, or a ceramic floating plate with a spring having a low rebound rate or low stiffness, thereby providing good control of hair tension.

[0069] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, in one embodiment, the air supply duct 21 has an air inlet and an air outlet 215. The air inlet is located on the handle of the hair straightener, and the air outlet 215 is located in the middle of the styling surface of the arm with the air supply duct and between the two straightening plates 12. A motor 212 and a first heating element 213 are located within the air supply duct. Air flows from the air inlet through the motor 212 and the heating element 213, and out through the air outlet 215. The air supply duct 21 also includes a hair straightener housing 211 located in one arm 11, with the motor 212 internally housed within the housing. When the control unit 30 controls only the motor 212, the hair straightener enters a cold air mode. It can be understood that the cold air mode is one of the blowing modes. In this mode, the airflow dries the hair or cools hot hair with cold air.

[0070] As shown in Figure 5, optionally, the motor 212 includes a motor 201 and an impeller 202 provided on the output shaft of the motor 201. The motor 201 drives the impeller 202 to rotate, and the air flow enters the air supply channel 211 through the air inlet 214 and is discharged through the air outlet 215.

[0071] Optionally, motor 201 can be a brushless motor, which is designed to operate at high speed (e.g., over 30,000 revolutions per minute) and low power (e.g., 15W maximum, 3W during normal operation) and can be driven by a DC power supply. Such high speed and low power parameters provide excellent drying performance, drying hair as quickly as a 2000W conventional hair dryer, but using significantly less power.

[0072] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the first heating element 213 is disposed within the air cylinder housing 211 of the air supply duct 21 and is used to heat the airflow. When the control unit 30 controls the first heating element 213 and the motor 212 to operate together, the hair enters the hot air blowing mode. It can be understood that the hot air blowing mode is another mode of the blowing mode. In the hot air blowing mode, the hot air dries the hair, accelerating the drying efficiency of wet hair.

[0073] Optionally, the first heating element 213 is an electric heating coil or other heating element. The first heating element 213 and the second heating element in the straightening plate 12 are two independent heating systems of the device, which do not affect each other and can work alone or together.

[0074] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in one embodiment, a wind guide structure 40 that changes the direction of the airflow is provided at the connection between the airflow channel 22 and the air supply duct 21. The wind guide structure 40 changes the direction of the airflow in the air supply duct 21 so that the airflow is blown out of the airflow channel 22.

[0075] As shown in Figure 6, in one embodiment, the air guide structure 40 includes a base frame 41 and a plurality of air guide blades 42 obliquely arranged on the base frame 41. The base frame 41 is installed in the air supply channel 211. The plurality of air guide blades 42 are arranged at intervals along the air flow path, and the inclination angles of the plurality of air guide blades 42 gradually decrease along the air flow path.

[0076] The tilted air guide piece 42 is helpful to guide the airflow to diffuse outward from the air outlet 215 along the flow direction of the airflow, so that the airflow is blown out from the air outlet in a uniform and dispersed manner, thereby ensuring the styling effect of the hairstyle. Secondly, because the airflow volume at the front end is large and the airflow volume at the rear end gradually decreases, the tilt angle of the air guide piece 42 at the front end is designed to be larger than the tilt angle of the air guide piece 42 at the rear end, so as to ensure that the airflow with a large volume at the front end is blown out uniformly and dispersedly, and the airflow with a smaller volume at the rear end is blown out in a directionally manner, so as to ensure that the airflow at the rear end has sufficient volume blowing onto the hair, thereby achieving the best styling effect. Preferably, the tilt angle of the air guide piece 42 at the front end is 45°, and the tilt angle of the air guide piece 42 at the rear end is 90°

[0077] As shown in Figure 5, in one embodiment of the present application, an arm 11 is provided with a wind tube shell 211, including: a lower shell 13 and an upper shell 14, the upper shell 14 and the lower shell 13 are spliced ​​and connected to form the air supply channel 211, and a sealing strip 15 is provided between the lower shell 13 and the upper shell 14 for the air outlet 215 end, the sealing strip 15 prevents air leakage from the connection between the lower shell 13 and the upper shell 14, preferably, the sealing strip 15 is a silicone strip.

[0078] As shown in FIG6 , optionally, the control unit 30 is a PCB board, and the PCB board is arranged in the air supply duct 215 . The air flow in the air supply duct 215 can effectively take away the heat of the PCB board, thereby increasing the service life of the PCB.

[0079] In one embodiment, the control unit 30 controls the motor 212 and the straightening plate 12 to work together to enter the straightening + cold air mode. It can be understood that the straightening + cold air mode is one of the straightening and blowing modes. For example, during the straightening process, the cold air mode can be used to quickly cool the hair to better protect the hair.

[0080] In one embodiment, the control unit 30 controls the first heating element 213, the motor 212, and the second heating element in the straightening plates 12 to operate together, entering the straightening + hot air mode. It can be understood that the straightening + hot air mode is another alternative to the straightening + hot air mode. In this mode, one pair of straightening plates 12 clamps and heats the hair near the upper end, while the other pair of straightening plates 12 clamps and heats the hair near the lower end. The airflow channel 22 guides airflow to dry the hair in the middle. During the hair straightening process, the airflow channel 22 continues to dry the hair heated by the pair of straightening plates 12, while the other pair of straightening plates 121 reheats the hair after being blown by the airflow channel 22. This results in a single heating and straightening process, followed by air drying and a secondary heating and straightening process. The heat generated by the straightening plates 12 and the dryer unit can quickly dehumidify wet hair, thereby shortening styling time and improving styling efficiency.

[0081] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the airflow channel 22 passes through one arm 11 and is connected to the air outlet 215 of the air supply duct 21. The airflow channel 22 is opposite to the air outlet 215 and guides the airflow to flow out. The air outlet 215 is located between the corresponding two straight plates 12. The airflow channel 22 is located between the corresponding two straight plates 12. The airflow channel 22 guides the airflow blown out of the air outlet 215, effectively preventing airflow turbulence, thereby basically not affecting the flow rate and air volume of the airflow.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, the straightening plate 12 on one arm 11 is arranged at a certain distance from the air outlet 215, and the straightening plate 12 on one arm 11 is arranged at a certain distance from the air flow channel 22. After the airflow is guided, the airflow is effectively prevented from blowing onto the straightening plate 12 and affecting the heat of the straightening plate 12.

[0083] In the straightening + hot air blowing mode or the straightening + cold air blowing mode, the straightening plates 12 on the two arms 11 clamp the hair 1 to straighten the hair. At the same time, the air outlet 215 guides the high-speed airflow to flow through the hair 1 located at the airflow channel 22 and then blows it directly out from the airflow channel 22, so that the airflow dries the wet hair, thereby shortening the styling time and improving the styling efficiency.

[0084] In the hot air blowing mode or the cold air blowing mode, the styling surface 101 is closed. At this time, the air outlet 215 and the air flow channel 22 are close to each other, and the air flow channel 22 guides the air flow blown out of the air outlet 215. The consumer holds the device and brings the outer side of the air flow channel 22 close to the hair, and the air flow blows from the air flow channel 22 onto the hair to complete the air drying of the hair.

[0085] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 7, and 8, in one embodiment, the airflow channel 22 is a hollow hole extending linearly through the corresponding arm 11. Multiple air outlets 215 are spaced apart and arranged in two rows on the styling surface 101 of the corresponding arm 11, with the two rows of air outlets 215 facing the hollow hole. By designing the hollow hole as a large-diameter strip, airflow obstruction is reduced, ensuring smooth airflow. By designing multiple air outlets 215, each of which is a small-diameter hole, the airflow velocity increases as it travels from the front (large-diameter) end of the air supply channel 211 to the end air outlet 215, further shortening styling time and improving styling efficiency. Arranging the air outlets 215 in two rows increases the air outlet coverage area and improves airflow uniformity, further enhancing styling efficiency.

[0086] As shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8, in one embodiment, the contoured surface of the arm 11, which includes the air supply duct 21, is provided with a dual-function channel 50 for low-pressure airflow and drainage. The dual-function channel 50 serves as a drainage channel and provides a space for accelerating low-speed airflow. The dual-function channel 50 is directly opposite the airflow channel 22.

[0087] During the hair straightening process, wet hair is scraped by the straightening plates 12. The liquid released by the scraping falls into the dual-function channel 50 and is then discharged through the dual-function channel 50, thus preventing the liquid from entering the air outlet 215 and affecting the components within the hair dryer housing 211. Furthermore, the design of the dual-function channel 50 increases the distance between the air outlet 215 and the straightening plates 12, effectively preventing high-speed airflow from reaching the straightening plates 12 and affecting their heat.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present application, the height of the hair clamping surface of the straightening plate 12 is higher than the height of the water inlet of the dual-function channel 50 , thereby ensuring that the water scraped out by the straightening plate 12 can smoothly fall into the dual-function channel 50 .

[0089] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, optionally, there are two dual-function channels 50, and the two dual-function channels 50 are respectively located on the sides of the corresponding two straightening plates 12, one of the dual-function channels 50 is used to collect moisture scraped by the first pair of straightening plates 12, and the other dual-function channel 50 is used to collect moisture scraped by the second pair of straightening plates 12.

[0090] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in one embodiment of the present application, the dual-function channel 50 includes a water inlet 51 and a drain outlet 52. The water inlet 51 is formed by being recessed downward on the inner side surface of the shaping surface 101 of the first arm 111 and is located to the side of the air outlet 215, more specifically, between the air outlet and the corresponding straightening plate. The drain outlet 52 is formed by being recessed downward on the bottom wall of the water inlet 51 and passes through the first arm 111, that is, the drain outlet 52 is located on the back of the arm 111. Exemplarily, the aperture of the water inlet 51 is larger than the aperture of the drain outlet 52, that is, the water inlet 51 is a large-diameter space for facilitating the collection of water, while the drain outlet 52 is a small-diameter hole for draining water.

[0091] As shown in FIG7 , in one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of grids 53 are spaced apart at the upper opening of the water inlet 51. The grids 53 effectively reduce the ingress of hair and impurities into the water inlet 51. The end surface of the grids 53 facing the airflow channel 22 is provided with an inclined surface to facilitate the flow of liquid into the dual-function channel.

[0092] As shown in Figure 8 , in one embodiment of the present application, the back of the first arm 111 is an arc-shaped structure, and the plurality of drain openings 52 are arranged at intervals in the middle region of the arc-shaped structure. By designing the back of the first arm 111 as an arc-shaped structure and concentrating the plurality of drain openings 52 in the middle region of the arc-shaped structure, water can be easily diverted and discharged.

[0093] As shown in Figures 2-7 , in one embodiment of the present application, the upper opening edges of the two rows of air outlets 215 are surrounded by a common frame 60. This frame 60 prevents moisture from seeping into the air supply channel 211 along the air outlets 215. As shown in Figure 8 , lines L are formed between the two rows of air outlets 215 and the corresponding edges of the frame 60. These lines L extend to the inner wall of the airflow channel 22, forming a high-pressure region A1 within the airflow channel 22. The area within the airflow channel 22 other than the high-pressure region A1 and the dual-function channel 12 together form a low-pressure region A2. The high-speed airflow in the high-pressure region A1 increases the flow rate and velocity of the airflow in the low-pressure region A2. The accelerated airflow in the low-pressure region A2 flows toward the airflow channel 22, further drying the wet hair. In addition to the drainage function, the dual-function channel 12 also provides space for the airflow in the low-pressure area A2 to flow, thereby increasing the flow time of the airflow in the low-pressure area A2 in the dual-function channel 12 and accelerating the flow rate of the airflow in the low-pressure area A2.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present application, the two pairs of straightening plates 12 are both located on the sides of the low-pressure area A2. The high-speed airflow in the high-pressure area A1 basically does not blow onto the straightening plates 12 on the sides of the low-pressure area A2, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of high-speed airflow affecting the heat of the straightening plates 12.

[0095] Based on the above-mentioned hair straightener dryer, the present invention provides a hair straightener dryer styling method, wherein the control unit 30 controls the hair straightening unit and the dryer unit to work individually or together to enter the hair straightening mode, the blowing mode or the hair straightening and blowing mode.

[0096] In the blowing mode, the control unit 30 controls the hair dryer unit to work and the hair straightening unit not to work. There are two blowing modes: the first is a cold air blowing mode, and the second is a hot air blowing mode.

[0097] In the straight hair blowing mode, the control unit 30 controls the hair dryer unit to work together with the straight hair unit. There are two straight hair blowing modes, the first is the straight hair + cold air blowing mode, and the second is the straight hair + hot air blowing mode.

[0098] In general, there are five modes: (1) straight hair mode; (2) cold air mode; (3) hot air mode; (4) straight hair + hot air mode; (5) straight hair + cold air mode.

[0099] In each mode, the control unit 30 controls the working states of the second heating element, the motor 212, and the first heating element 213 of the straightening plate 12 as follows:
