[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0034] References to "embodiments" herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0035] 1 to 4 , the present invention provides a manual curling iron, comprising: a curling iron body 10, a curling head 20, and a gear ring 30. The curling head 20 is connected to the curling iron body 10 and includes a heat vent 206 and a curling lever 205. The heat vent 206 is configured to generate heat under the control of the curling iron body 10. The gear ring 30 is sleeved onto the upper surface of the curling head 20. Drive teeth 301 are provided on the inner side of the gear ring 30. A gear assembly 201 is further provided within the curling head 20. The gear ring 30 is configured to rotate the gear assembly 201 via the drive teeth 301, thereby rotating the curling lever 205, thereby curling hair into the upper surface of the heat vent 206 to curl and heat the hair.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, the outer side of the gear ring 30 is further provided with serrated stripes to enhance friction. When the gear ring 30 is manually rotated, the serrated stripes effectively drive the gear ring 30, preventing slippage. As shown in Figure 3, the inner side of the gear ring 30 is provided with transmission teeth 301. When the gear ring 30 is manually rotated, the transmission teeth 301 inside the gear ring 30 drive the gear assembly 201 to rotate. Since the gear assembly 201 is connected to the curling lever 205, this drives the curling lever 205 to rotate, thereby curling the hair onto the upper surface of the heat exchanger 206, which then heats and shapes the curled hair. This curling iron has a relatively simple structure and does not require a complex automated curling mechanism, resulting in a relatively low production cost, making it suitable for users who only require simple curling functions.

[0037] 2 and 3 , the gear assembly 201 includes a first gear 2011 and a second gear 2012. The first gear 2011 is configured to mesh with the transmission teeth 301 and rotate under the drive of the gear ring 30. The second gear 2012 is configured to mesh with the first gear 2011 and rotate under the drive of the first gear 2011. The second gear 2012 is configured to rotate the curling lever 205. As shown in FIG3 , the gear assembly 201 also includes a lever joint 2013. The curling lever 205 is fixedly connected to the lever joint 2013, and the second gear 2012 is mounted and fixed to the lever joint 2013. Thus, when the gear ring 30 is manually rotated, the first gear 2011 rotates under the drive of the gear ring 30, thereby rotating the second gear 2012, and thus rotating the curling lever 205.

[0038] Referring to Figures 2 and 3 , the hair curling connector further includes a connecting member 202 for fixedly connecting the main body 10 of the hair curler to the hair curling head 20. A gear mounting groove 2021 is defined at the connecting member 202 corresponding to the gear ring 30. The first gear 2011 is mounted within the gear mounting groove 2021. The teeth of the first gear 2011 extend from the gear through-hole and engage with the transmission teeth 301. As shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the connecting member 202 provides a relatively fixed connection between the main body 10 of the hair curler and the hair curling head 20. Because the gear mounting groove 2021 is defined at the connection between the connecting member 202 and the gear ring 30, once the first gear 2011 is mounted within the gear mounting groove 2021, the upper teeth of the first gear 2011 engage with the transmission teeth 301 on the inner wall of the gear ring 30, allowing the gear ring 30 to rotate.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 4 , the connecting member 202 further comprises a curling rod connector mounting position 2022, within which the rod connector 2013 is mounted. As shown in FIG. 4 , a heat vent 206 fixing post 20221 is also provided within the curling rod connector mounting position 2022. The heat vent 206 fixing post is used to securely connect the heat vent 206 to the connecting member 202. The curling head 20 further comprises a heat vent connector 202203202, through which the heat vent 206 is securely connected to the heat vent fixing post 20221. This secures one end of the heat vent 206 to the connecting member 202. Since the hair channel fixing column 20221 is located in the middle of the curling rod joint installation position 2022 of the connecting member 202, the rod joint 2013 can be rotated around the heat channel 206 under the drive of the second gear 2012 after being installed in the curling rod joint installation position 2022.

[0040] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the hair curler 10 comprises a main housing 101 and a circuit board 102. The main housing 101 comprises an upper housing 1011 and a lower housing 1012, which are fixedly connected. The circuit board 102 is mounted within the main housing 101 and is used to heat the heat exchanger 206. As shown in Figure 4 , the circuit board 102 is connected to a power supply. When powered on, it controls the heating of the heat exchanger 206, ensuring that the heat exchanger 206 reaches a temperature suitable for styling hair.

[0041] 1 to 4 , the curling head 20 further comprises a curling head housing 204, which is sleeved onto the outer side of the curling lever 205. The curling head housing 204 includes a protective housing portion 2041, which comprises a first half shell 20411 and a second half shell 20412. A hair entry slit 2042 is formed between the first half shell 20411 and the second half shell 20412. One end of the first half shell 20411 is provided with a first inclined surface 204111, and / or one end of the second half shell 20412 is provided with a second inclined surface 204121. The first inclined surface 204111 or the second inclined surface 204121 is used to guide hair into the hair entry slit 2042. The inclined surface is provided at the end of the half shell of the curling head housing 204. In this way, when the user uses the curling iron to curl his hair, when the hair to be curled and the opening of the curling iron are away from the user's sight, the inclined surface at the end of the half shell can help guide the hair to the hair inlet of the curling iron, thereby reducing the difficulty of the user in curling the hair and facilitating use.

[0042] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with that embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
