Wavy-Shaped Electric Straightening Comb with Heat Shield
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional clamp-type hair straighteners require operators to hold separate combs and straighteners simultaneously, leading to inconvenient and inefficient hair straightening processes.
Innovation Solution
A wavy-shaped electric straightening comb with a comb part and handle, featuring heating elements and comb teeth with a wavy cross-section, providing a pulling force and heat for efficient hair straightening while preventing scalding with a heat shield and adjustable intervals between teeth for optimal hair accommodation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a clamp-type hair straightener is used, then hair straightening function is achieved, but the device cannot comb hair and requires holding two separate tools simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a comb structure with a clamp-type hair straightener to create a single integrated device. The comb teeth are incorporated into the clamp plates, allowing the device to perform both combing and hair straightening functions simultaneously, eliminating the need to hold two separate tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamp plate is designed with dual functionality: it serves as both a heating element for straightening hair and a comb with teeth for detangling and styling. This multi-functional design allows one device to replace multiple traditional hair styling tools.
2Productivity
If conventional clamp-type straightener is used, then hair straightening is achieved, but operation is inconvenient and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the comb and straightener into one device, the patent enables users to perform combing and straightening in a single continuous motion, improving operational efficiency and convenience without requiring separate steps or tools.
3Adaptability or versatility
If heating element is added to comb, then hair straightening function is achieved, but risk of scalding increases
Solution Approach 1:
The heating element is localized to specific areas of the comb teeth rather than heating the entire comb structure. This localized heating approach provides sufficient heat for straightening while minimizing the overall heat exposure and reducing scalding risk to the user's scalp and skin.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The wavy-shaped comb facilitates easy and efficient hair straightening by providing a consistent pulling force and heat, while the heat shield and adjustable intervals ensure safe operation and effective hair alignment, improving user convenience and straightening results compared to traditional clamp-type straighteners.
Implementation Method 1
Each clamp plate has a heating element disposed therein for straightening the hair
Implementation Method 2
the first comb is kept close to the heating equipment and conducts heat energy to the second comb
