Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] An adaptive hair-blowing robot provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, includes a bracket assembly 1, a rotating mechanism 2 and an adaptive hair-blowing mechanism 3. One end of the rotating mechanism 2 is connected to the bracket assembly 1, and the other end is connected to the adaptive hair-blowing mechanism 3. When in use, the rotating mechanism 2 rotates to drive the adaptive hair-blowing mechanism 3 to adjust its posture.

[0027] After adopting the above solution, the adaptive hair-blowing robot does not require manual operation during normal operation, and the hands are completely freed. The adaptive hair-blowing mechanism can rotate along the rotating mechanism according to the user's head position. During the hair-blowing process, the user does not need to adjust the head position to complete the hair-blowing. The user's body is relaxed, which greatly improves the user's hair-blowing experience.

[0028] During the specific implementation of this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 2 includes at least a first rotating arm 21 and a second rotating arm 22 connected to the first rotating arm 21, one end of the first rotating arm 21 is rotatably connected to one end of the second rotating arm 22, and the other end of the first rotating arm 21 is connected to the bracket assembly 1; the other end of the second rotating arm 22 is connected to the adaptive blowing mechanism 3.

[0029] More specifically, the adaptive hair-blowing mechanism 3 can adjust its position by rotating the first rotating arm 21 and the second rotating arm 22, which not only provides convenience for the user to blow hair, but also facilitates the storage of the adaptive hair-blowing robot. The first rotating arm 21 and the bracket assembly 1 can be fixedly connected or movably connected.

[0030] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 2 further includes an adapter 23 , the first rotating arm 21 is rotatably connected to one side of the adapter 23 , and the bracket assembly 1 is detachably connected to the other side of the adapter 23 .

[0031] More specifically, the first rotating arm 21 is rotatably connected to one side of the adapter 23, so that the first rotating arm 21 can be rotated 360 degrees, and then the adaptive blowing mechanism 3 can also be rotated 360 degrees along the rotating mechanism; the bracket assembly 1 is detachably connected to the other side of the adapter 23. During the transportation of the adaptive blowing robot, the bracket assembly 1 and the rotating mechanism 2 can be disassembled for easy transportation, and it is also convenient for users to store it.

[0032] Furthermore, there is at least one first rotating arm 21 and second rotating arm 22. In other embodiments not shown, the rotating mechanism 2 may also include three or more rotating arms. During use, the user adjusts the first rotating arm 21 and the second rotating arm 22 to adjust the adaptive blowing mechanism 3 to the appropriate position for blowing hair. The first rotating arm 21 is controlled by a driver disposed within the adapter 23, and the second rotating arm 22 is controlled by a driver disposed within the first rotating arm 21.

[0033] Furthermore, as shown in FIG2 , the user adjusts the first rotating arm 21 to adjust the adaptive hair-blowing mechanism 3 to a suitable position for hair-blowing.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in FIG3 , the user can rotate the second rotating arm 22 to above the first rotating arm 21 as needed during use, so that the second rotating arm 22 overlaps with the first rotating arm 21 , saving space and allowing the adaptive hair-drying robot to take up no space when not in use.

[0035] Furthermore, a lighting lamp may be provided under the second rotating arm 22 so that the user can read during the hair-drying process; at the same time, the adaptive hair-drying robot can also be used as a standing lamp for reading when not performing hair-drying.

[0036] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the adaptive blowing mechanism 3 includes a blowing component 31 and a sensor component 32 . The blowing component 31 is connected to the second rotating arm 22 , and the sensor component 32 is disposed on the blowing component 31 .

[0037] More specifically, the sensor component 32 identifies the user's head and the area to be blown. The sensor component 32 is electrically connected to the blowing component 31 , and the sensor component 32 provides an air outlet position for the blowing component 31 .

[0038] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the blowing assembly 31 includes a fan 311 and an air guide 312 with an oblique blowing function, and the air guide 312 is provided below the fan 311 .

[0039] More specifically, the air guide 312 and the fan 311 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected, and the air guide 312 is an air guide tube with an air outlet at a certain inclination angle, and the inclination angle is greater than 0° and less than 90°.

[0040] In a specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the air guide 312 is rotatably disposed below the fan 311 .

[0041] In a specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the blowing assembly 31 further includes a driving member, and the driving member drives the air guide member 312 to rotate.

[0042] More specifically, the wind guide 312 realizes relatively vertical downward oblique blowing, because when the hair naturally hangs down for oblique blowing, the blowing can generate a component force blowing inward, pushing away the hair that has been dried on the surface, allowing the wind column to blow further into the still wet hair inside, thereby drying the scalp and cooperating with the driving part, the wind guide 3123 can be rotated and swung back and forth to adjust the blowing area.

[0043] Furthermore, the air outlet of the air guide 312 can be specifically configured as a plurality of strip-shaped gaps. When the fan 311 operates normally, air is blown out from the plurality of air outlets simultaneously.

[0044] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the blowing assembly 31 and the second rotating arm 22 are detachably connected.

[0045] More specifically, the blowing component 31 and the second rotating arm 22 can be connected by a snap connection, a slot connection, a plug-in connection or other detachable connection methods. In Figure 1, the blowing component 31 can be disassembled and assembled with one button. After the blowing component 31 is removed, it can be connected to its matching power supply component to achieve independent hair blowing, that is, a handheld hair dryer. When the user does not need it, the blowing component 31 can be quickly installed to the second rotating arm 22 to meet the needs of different users.

[0046] Furthermore, the hair-drying component 31 is a hair-care component, which is a care machine or a far-infrared heater, and the user can care for the hair or scalp.

[0047] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the bracket assembly 1 includes a retractable bracket body 11 and a base 12 . One end of the bracket body 11 is connected to the base 12 , and the other end is connected to the rotating mechanism 2 .

[0048] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the bracket body 11 includes a first bracket 111 and a second bracket 112 that is retractably arranged at one end of the first bracket 111. The other end of the first bracket 111 is connected to the base 12, and the end of the second bracket 112 away from the first bracket 111 is connected to the rotating mechanism 2.

[0049] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the bracket body 11 includes a first bracket 111 and a second bracket 112 that is retractably arranged at one end of the first bracket 111. The other end of the first bracket 111 is connected to the base 12, and the end of the second bracket 112 away from the first bracket 111 is connected to the rotating mechanism 2.

[0050] More specifically, the first bracket 111 or the second bracket 112 is a telescopic bracket. The first bracket 111 is a telescopic bracket, and the second bracket 112 is a fixed bracket. The first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 are connected by a plug-in connection or a snap-on connection. Similarly, the first bracket 111 can be a fixed bracket and the second bracket 112 can be a telescopic bracket. The first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 can be connected by a plug-in connection or a snap-on connection. The user can adjust the height of the adaptive hair-drying robot through the bracket body 11 to suit different people.

[0051] Furthermore, there are at least one first bracket 111 and second bracket 112. In other embodiments not shown, the bracket body 11 may also include three or more brackets, which provides convenience for manufacturers' transportation.

[0052] Furthermore, the base 12 can be placed next to a sofa, a bed or a dressing table without taking up ground space. The base 12 can be placed in a gap next to a sofa, a bed or a dressing table.

[0053] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the sensor component 32 includes a positioning sensor 321 , and the positioning sensor 321 is used to position the hair.

[0054] More specifically, the positioning sensor 321 positions the hair and determines the specific position of the user's hair, so that the hair-blowing component 31 can blow the hair.

[0055] In a specific implementation process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the sensor assembly 32 further includes an infrared temperature sensor 322 , and the infrared temperature sensor 322 is used to monitor the temperature and humidity of hair.

[0056] During the specific implementation of this embodiment, the adaptive hair-drying robot is connected to a terminal device.

[0057] More specifically, the terminal device is a mobile phone, computer, tablet or other device with a display screen. The user can see the air outlet temperature and air outlet direction of the adaptive hair-drying robot in real time on the terminal device, and can also set the temperature and hair care time required by the user on the terminal device. The hair temperature and hair humidity during the hair-drying process can be displayed on the terminal device.

[0058] The working process provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the adaptive hair-blowing robot is placed next to the sofa. When the user blows the hair after washing the hair, the user adjusts the bracket component 1 according to the user's sitting position, and adjusts the height of the adaptive hair-blowing robot by adjusting the height of the second bracket 112. The user sits on the sofa, and the sensor component 32 identifies the user's head and the area to be blown. The sensor component 32 is electrically connected to the blowing component 31 to provide an air outlet position for the blowing component 31. The positioning sensor 321 locates the hair and determines the specific position of the user's area to be blown, so that the blowing component 31 can blow the hair. The infrared temperature sensor 322 is used to monitor the temperature and humidity of the hair. After washing the hair, the user frees his hands and can read books or play with mobile phones. The user is more convenient during the hair-blowing process, which improves the user experience.

[0059] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an adaptive hair-drying robot, as shown in FIG4 , which is a flow chart of the method for controlling an adaptive hair-drying robot according to the present invention.

[0060] In this embodiment, the adaptive hair-drying robot control method includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S10: starting the adaptive hair-blowing robot, which begins to perform target recognition and output recognition results;

[0062] It should be noted that starting the adaptive hair-drying robot means that the user turns on the control switch of the adaptive hair-drying robot. After the adaptive hair-drying robot is started, it starts to perform target recognition, which means identifying the user's area to be blown. The recognition is performed in two ways. The first is that the adaptive hair-drying robot judges the hair area, hair length, hair position, and hair straightening, curling, and dyeing based on the camera vision, and outputs the recognition result; the second is that the adaptive hair-drying robot recognizes the user's head contour through the distance sensor, and maps the human head model based on the head contour, and then identifies and judges the area of ​​the head to be blown, and finally outputs feedback on the recognition and judgment result.

[0063] Step S20: performing an automatic hair-drying operation according to the recognition result;

[0064] It can be understood that the recognition result refers to the area to be blown hair identified by the adaptive blow-drying robot. The adaptive blow-drying robot automatically performs blow-drying operations on the area to be blown hair according to the preset motion logic based on the recognition result to ensure that the blowing effect of the area to be blown hair is balanced and effective.

[0065] Step S30: monitoring the automatic hair-blowing effect achieved by the automatic hair-blowing operation in real time, and outputting the real-time monitoring data;

[0066] It should be noted that the automatic hair-blowing effect refers to the temperature state and humidity state of the hair after the adaptive hair-blowing robot has acted on the hair-blowing area for a period of time. In the specific implementation, the temperature state and humidity state of the hair can be set by the user in advance according to personal preferences.

[0067] Step S40: read the real-time monitoring data, analyze and judge it, and output the corresponding judgment result;

[0068] It should be noted that the analysis and judgment of real-time monitoring data is to analyze and compare the existing hair status data of the area to be blow-dried with the hair status data pre-set by the user, including the hair temperature comparison and the hair humidity comparison. After the analysis and comparison is completed, the corresponding data comparison results are output.

[0069] Step S50: adjusting the working state of the adaptive hair-drying robot accordingly according to the determination result.

[0070] It should be noted that the judgment result refers to whether the existing temperature and humidity conditions of the area to be blown hair meet expectations. The adaptive blow-drying robot will make corresponding working state adjustments based on the judgment result, including increasing the temperature of the heating wire and the wind speed of the fan when the hair temperature does not meet expectations; maintaining the temperature of the heating wire and the wind speed of the fan when the hair temperature meets expectations; lowering the temperature of the heating wire and the wind speed of the fan when the hair temperature exceeds expectations; adjusting the angle of the blowing port when the hair humidity does not meet expectations; and stopping the fan when the hair humidity meets expectations.

[0071] This embodiment uses an adaptive hair-drying robot to first determine the area where the user's hair is to be blown and start working, then monitor the area to be blown in real time, and adjust the working state accordingly according to the specific situation of the monitoring data, finally realizing the function of automatic hair-drying. In addition, the disclosed adaptive hair-drying robot can control the air outlet to blow air towards the hair without manual operation, completely freeing the hands, solving the technical problem of getting tired after manually holding the hair dryer for too long, and greatly improving the user's hair-drying experience.

[0072] Furthermore, the automatic blowing effect achieved by the automatic blowing operation is monitored in real time, and the real-time monitoring data is output. The specific steps include: monitoring the hair temperature in the working area of ​​the automatic blowing operation and outputting the monitored real-time data of the hair temperature; monitoring the hair humidity in the working area of ​​the automatic blowing operation and outputting the monitored real-time data of the hair humidity.

[0073] It can be understood that in the specific implementation, the real-time monitoring of hair temperature and hair humidity is achieved through the specific functional components of the adaptive hair-drying robot. The real-time data obtained by real-time monitoring is a description of the current state of the hair. The adaptive hair-drying robot makes subsequent working state adjustments based on the current state data of the hair.

[0074] To sum up, the adaptive hair-blowing robot of the present invention does not require manual operation when working normally, and the hands are completely freed. Moreover, the adaptive hair-blowing robot can rotate along the rotating mechanism 2 according to the user's head position. During the hair-blowing process, the user does not need to adjust the head position to complete the hair-blowing, and the user's body is relaxed, which greatly improves the user's hair-blowing experience.

[0075] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims. Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
