Description

Hair styling device

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a hairstyling device for styling hair that secures the shape of the hair.

Background

When removing as much moisture as possible from wet hair, or when styling hair from a current shape to a desired shape, a blower that discharges air via an air discharge port is used as a representative hair styling device.

In recent years, the use of hair styling devices to straighten or permanent wave is increasing, in addition to simply drying the hair. However, since such a hairstyling device uses a method of directly transferring heat to hair using a hot plate, there is a problem in that damage to hair becomes serious.

Hair damage can be reduced by using wind instead of directly applying high heat hair styling, but when a hair dryer is used, there is a trouble of using a separate curling comb or curling iron.

Furthermore, in order to increase the fixing force of the molding, it is more effective to alternately supply hot air and cold air instead of simply supplying only hot air. However, it is not easy for the user to switch between the hot air and the cold air, and even when the heater is turned off, the temperature difference between the cold air and the hot air is not large due to the residual heat, so the modeling effect is not high.

Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a hairstyling device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The hairstyling device 10 according to the present disclosure is a device capable of supplying hot air and cold air to the curling iron 200 for curling hair. For hair styling, the fixing force can be excellent, and damage to hair can be minimized when hot air and cold air are alternately supplied instead of only hot air. Thus, the hair styling device 10 according to the present disclosure is capable of supplying both hot and cold air.

The hairstyling device 10 according to the present disclosure may include a body 100 capable of supplying hot air and cold air, and a curling iron 200 capable of curling hair around its outer surface. The hairstyler 10 according to the present disclosure may be mainly used for short hair, and in a state in which the curling iron 200 winds hair therearound, the air discharge port 115 of the main body 100 may be sequentially coupled to the curling iron 200, and provide hot air and cold air to hair wound around the curling iron 200.

The body 100 may include a head 110 positioned at an upper portion thereof and a handle 120 positioned below the head. The head 110 may include an air discharge port 115 at a front end thereof through which air is discharged, and the handle 120 may be fastened to a handle connector under the head 110 and may be gripped by a user's hand.

The head 110 may have a cylindrical shape extending in a horizontal direction as shown in fig. 1, but the present disclosure may not necessarily be limited thereto, and a polygonal column shape extending in a horizontal direction may also be included in the present disclosure.

A fan motor 160 for supplying wind, a heater 170 for increasing the temperature of wind supplied from the fan motor 160, and a thermoelectric module 180 for reducing the temperature of wind supplied from the fan motor 160 may be accommodated in the main body 100.

The air discharge port 115 positioned at the front end of the head 110 may have a shape in which an end thereof is sharply protruded so as to be inserted into the curling iron 200.

The curling iron 200, which is a cylindrical member, may have an outer surface including a plurality of holes through which wind may pass, and the curling iron 200 may have a spiral groove defined therein such that wind discharged from the air discharge port 115 of the main body 100 naturally flows.

One end 210 of the curling iron 200 may be open to allow the air discharge port 115 to be inserted therein, but the other end thereof may include a flexible air cap 220, the flexible air cap 220 shielding the air discharged from the air discharge port 115 to remain within the curling iron 200. The flexible air cap 220 may not be fully closed and may include flexible apertures that are flexible Kong Xuanze to vent air when air pressure is greater inside the curling iron 200.

The hair styling device 10 according to the present disclosure may include a station 300 capable of receiving the body 100 therein. Because the hair styling apparatus 10 requires the main body 100 and the plurality of hair curlers 200, it may include receiving portions 310 and 320 for receiving the hair curlers 200 and hair styling apparatus main body 100 in the station 300. In addition, a cable for connecting the main body 100 with the station 300 to supply power may be included to the hairstyling device 10.

Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating one type of hair styling device 10. The hairstyling device 10 according to the present disclosure requires a fan motor 160, a heater 170 and a thermoelectric module 180. In (a) of fig. 2, all the above-described components may be provided in the station 300, and the main body 100 may simply serve as an air gun through which hot air and cold air supplied from the station 300 are discharged.

The heater 170, the thermoelectric module 180, and the fan motor 160 installed in the station 300 have less size restrictions so that the air volume can be increased using the fan motor 160 (or the air compressor) having a larger output and the temperature of the cool air can be greatly reduced using the cooling compressor as the thermoelectric module 180.

In the embodiment of (a) in fig. 2, the weight of the main body 100 may be reduced, but a flow passage pipe connecting the main body 100 with the station 300 should be provided in addition to the cable. Because of the flow channel tube, the load felt by the user during actual use is not greatly reduced and the size of the station 300 is excessively increased when installing the air compressor or cooling the compressor.

Referring to (b) of fig. 2, the fan motor 160 and the heater 170 may be installed in the main body 100, and the thermoelectric module 180 for supplying cool air may be coupled to the air discharge port 115 using separate accessories.

However, the present embodiment has a problem of supplying power to the accessories of the thermoelectric module 180. In addition, since the thermoelectric module 180 is disposed adjacent to the air discharge port 115, the hot air discharged from the heat sink 182 of the thermoelectric module 180 may be discharged by being mixed with the cold air discharged from the heat absorber 181 of the thermoelectric module 180, and the weight of the front portion of the head 110 may be increased due to the accessories.

As in the embodiment in (c) of fig. 2, the fan motor 160, the heater 170, and the thermoelectric module may all be installed inside the main body 100. In this case, the fan motor 160 may be provided in the handle 120 to distribute the weight concentrated on the head 110.

When the fan motor 160, the heater 170, and the thermoelectric module 180 are disposed inside the main body 100, as shown in (c) of fig. 2, the controller 350 may be disposed in the station 300 to reduce the weight of the main body 100. The cable may not only supply power to the main body 100, but also serve as a signal line for transmitting signals between the station 300 and the main body 100.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a hairstyling device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The controller 350 may be located in the station 300 and may include an adapter 352, which adapter 352 converts 220V AC power supplied for use by the fan motor 160, the heater 170, and the thermoelectric module 180. A driving IC 353, an open source hardware 354, a relay 355, etc. for driving the thermoelectric module 180 may be provided, and the controller 350 may transmit driving signals of the heater 170 and the fan motor 160 to the main body 100 via the relay 355.

A fan motor 160, a heater 170, a thermoelectric module 180, and a sensor 140, which are located in the main body 100, may be included, and a mode switching button 151 for a user to perform manual control, a step button 152 for controlling in a manual mode, and the like may be included. The fan motor 160, the heater 170, and the thermoelectric module 180 provided in the main body 100 may be driven via the controller 350 of the station 300.

Fig. 4-6 are cross-sectional views illustrating various embodiments of the hairstyling device 10 according to the present disclosure based on the arrangement of the heater 170 module, the thermoelectric module 180 and the fan motor 160. The body 100 may be composed of a head 110 and a handle 120, and the head 110 may include a head housing 111, the head housing 111 being disposed in a horizontal direction and having an air discharge port 115 at a front portion thereof.

The handle 120 may include a handle housing 121 coupled to the handle connector at a lower portion of the head housing 111, and may have a cylindrical shape for a feel of grasping by hand.

According to the embodiment in fig. 4, the thermoelectric module 180, the heater 170 module, and the fan motor 160 may be sequentially arranged in the head housing 111 in the backward direction. The fan motor 160 may suck air from the rear end 113 of the head housing 111 and supply the air to the air discharge port 115 at the front end, and wind sucked into the head housing 111 from the fan motor 160 may pass through the heater 170 and be transmitted to the thermoelectric module 180.

The heater 170 may have a hot wire wound in a circular shape such that when wind passes through the hot wire, the temperature of the wind may increase and the wind may be converted into hot air. The heater 170 may generally have a cylindrical shape, but the present disclosure may not be limited thereto, and the heater 170 may have a polygonal shape.

The thermoelectric module 180 is also called a peltier element, and is based on a phenomenon in which when a potential difference occurs at both ends of an object, heat flows together with an electric current, resulting in a temperature difference at both ends. That is, when a current flows, a temperature difference occurs, and one side is cooled and the other side is heated. The thermoelectric module 180 is a device using the peltier effect or the thermoelectric effect in which heat and electricity are converted, and a region thereof cooled is referred to as a heat absorber 181 and a region thereof heated is referred to as a heat sink 182.

In a typical hair styling device 10, it is simply room temperature air, even when cold air is supplied, so that so-called "cold air" typically has a temperature equal to or greater than 30 ℃, providing a small temperature differential from hot air. When the thermoelectric module 180 is provided, the temperature of the cool air may be lower than the room temperature, thereby maximizing the conversion effect between the cool air and the hot air.

In the present disclosure, the thermoelectric module 180 may be formed in a shape in which both the heat absorber 181 and the heat sink 182 include fins to increase contact with air. In the drawings, the upper portion may be a heat absorber 181 and the lower portion may be a radiator 182, and air cooled by the heat absorber 181 may be discharged to the air discharge port 115, and heat from the radiator 182 may be discharged to the outside of the main body 100.

In order to sufficiently cool the air in the heat absorber 181, the radiator 182 should also sufficiently discharge heat. When the air volume supplied to the heat absorber 181 is greater than the air volume of the radiator 182, the endothermic effect may be reduced, and thus the air may not be sufficiently cooled. On the other hand, when the air volume supplied to the heat absorber 181 is smaller than the air volume of the radiator 182, an appropriate air volume discharged from the air discharge port 115 may not be obtained. Since efficiency may be lowered when the wind supplied to the heat absorber 181 and the radiator 182 is biased to one side, it is necessary to appropriately distribute the wind quantity supplied to the heat absorber 181 and the radiator 182.

The air supplied to the thermoelectric module 180 should be separately discharged based on the regions 181 and 182 through which the air passes. As shown in fig. 4, the air having passed through the radiator 182 of the thermoelectric module 180 may be discharged via a flow channel separate from the air discharge port 115 while its temperature is raised, but since the thermoelectric module 180 is positioned adjacent to the air discharge port 115, the radiator discharge port 114 may be disposed at a position close to the air discharge port 115.

When the air discharge port 115 and the radiator discharge port 114 are disposed adjacent to each other, the cold air having passed through the heat absorber 181 of the thermoelectric module 180 and the warm air having passed through the radiator 182 may be mixed with each other and supplied. In addition, when the thermoelectric module 180 is located in front of the heater 170 and the heater 170 is operated, the thermoelectric module 180 may be damaged when high-temperature air is directly supplied to the thermoelectric element.

As shown in fig. 5, the positions of the thermoelectric module 180 and the heater 170 may be switched. Wind supplied from the fan motor 160 may pass through the thermoelectric module 180 and then through the heater 170. Even when the heater 170 is operated, it does not affect the thermoelectric module 180.

In addition, since the thermoelectric module 180 may be disposed near the handle 120, when the heat dissipation flow channel 139 is implemented via the handle, the problem of mixing cold air and warm air together can be solved. However, also in the present embodiment, all the components are mounted in the head 110, so that the length of the head 110 may be increased and may put a burden on the wrist of the user.

As shown in fig. 6, the fan motor 160 may be moved into the handle housing 121 of the handle 120, and only the thermoelectric module 180 and the heater 170 may be disposed in the head housing 111 of the head 110.

Fig. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the embodiment of fig. 6. The thermoelectric module 180 and the heater 170 may be accommodated in the inner case 130 inserted into the head case 111. The inner case 130 may include a first portion 131 accommodating the thermoelectric module 180 and a second portion 132 accommodating the heater 170, and the second portion 132 may be located in front of the first portion 131.

In the inner housing 130, since air is introduced into the rear portion and air is discharged from the front portion, the open rear portion is the inner housing inlet 137, and the open front portion is the inner housing outlet 138.

The first portion 131 may have a quadrangular box shape corresponding to the shape of the thermoelectric module 180, and the second portion 132 may have a cylindrical shape corresponding to the shape of the heater 170. The thermoelectric module 180 may be inserted into the first portion 131 from the rear of the inner housing 130, and the heater 170 may be inserted into the second portion 132 from the front of the inner housing 130.

After the thermoelectric module 180 and the heater 170 are received in the inner case 130, the inner case 130 may be coupled to the inside of the head case 111 from the rear of the head case 111, and the rear surface of the head case 111 may be closed with the rear case 112. A rear cover may be coupled to a rear surface of the rear case 112, and a rear cover 118 may cover a radiator discharge port 114 (which will be described later) so as not to be exposed to the outside.

The fan motor 160 positioned in the handle housing 121 may draw air through the air inlet 123 positioned at a lower portion thereof and supply the air into the head housing 111 through the handle connector. An air guide 133 may be included to direct the air flow from the handle connector toward the rear end of the thermoelectric module 180 (i.e., the inlet 137 at the rear portion of the inner housing 130) such that the air passes through the thermoelectric module 180 and the heater 170 in sequence.

The air guide 133 may include an air guide 133 formed on an outer surface of the inner case 130. The air guide 133 may protrude from an outer surface of the inner housing 130 and an end thereof may contact an inner surface of the head housing 111 such that a separate flow passage may be defined with the inner housing 130, the head housing 111, and the air guide 133.

Fig. 8 to 11 are sectional views illustrating various embodiments of the hairstyling device 10 according to the present disclosure based on the shape of the air guide 133. The embodiment in fig. 8 is an embodiment including one air guide 133 and includes a first air guide 1331 that prevents wind supplied from the handle housing 121 from being supplied to the air discharge port 115.

That is, the first air guide 1331 may have a shape inclined backward and extending upward from the front end of the handle connector. The first air guide 1331 serves to guide the wind rearward in the space between the head case 111 and the inner case 130.

Because the intensity of the wind supplied via the fan motor 160 is great, the wind directed backward along the first air guide 1331 of the wind may flow into the lower portion of the inner case inlet 137 while drawing a curve having a large diameter.

In the thermoelectric module 180 installed in the first portion 131, the heat sink 182 is located at a lower portion, and the heat absorber 181 is located at an upper portion, so that a problem of supplying excessive wind to the heat sink 182 occurs. Because the wind supplied to the radiator 182 is lost to the heat radiation flow passage 139, the amount of wind discharged to the air discharge port 115 is small, so that a desired hair styling effect may not be obtained.

In the present embodiment, the air volume discharged to the air discharge port 115 is 12.3%, and the air volume discharged to the heat radiation flow passage 139 is 87.7%, which is a large difference.

Hairstyling device 10 according to the embodiment of fig. 9 may also include a second air guide 1332 positioned at the rear of first air guide 1331, second air guide 1332 being separate from first air guide 1331. As shown in fig. 9, the second air guide 1332 may have one end located at the inner case inlet 137, and may extend rearward while drawing a curve extending upward and rearward.

The second air guide 1332 divides the flow passage extending from the handle connector to the inner housing inlet 137 into two sections. The first flow channel 1351 is positioned on one side (left side in the drawing) of the second air guide 1332, and the second flow channel 1352 is positioned on the other side of the second air guide 1332.

The first flow channel 1351 may be positioned between the first air guide 1331 and the second air guide 1332, and may be positioned above the second flow channel 1352. However, the wind supplied through the first flow channel 1351 is supplied to the inlet lower portion 1372 of the inner housing 130, i.e., the radiator 182, while also bending along the inner surface of the head housing 111 with a large radius in the embodiment as described above.

The air quantity discharged to the air discharge port 115 is 12.4%, and the air quantity discharged to the heat radiation flow passage 139 is 87.6%, which is not significantly different from the case in the above-described embodiment, and there is still a problem in that the air quantity supplied to the radiator 182 is large.

The embodiment in fig. 10 may include a wind speed drag grille 136 that reduces the speed of wind supplied from the fan motor 160 such that wind in the first flow channel 1351 is supplied to the inlet upper portion 1371 of the inner housing 130.

The wind speed drag grille 136 may be located in an upper portion of the first portion 131 of the inner housing 130 and may include a curve corresponding to the shape of the head housing 111. As shown in FIG. 10, the wind speed drag grille 136 can include openings defined between multiple grills, or a porous member such as a mesh can be used.

The wind speed drag grille 136 may reduce the speed of the wind in the first flow channel 1351 such that the radius of rotation of the wind may become smaller in the path of bending to the inlet 137 of the inner housing 130. Accordingly, the amount of wind supplied to the heat absorber 181 among the wind supplied along the first flow channel 1351 may be increased.

In one example, the air guide 133 of the embodiment in fig. 11 further includes a third air guide 1333, the third air guide 1333 separating the inlets 137 of the inner housing 130 at the rear end of the second air guide 1332. The second air guide 1332 allows the wind introduced through the first flow passage 1351 to be supplied to the inlet upper portion 1371 of the inner housing 130, and allows the wind introduced through the second flow passage 1352 to be supplied to the inlet lower portion 1372 of the inner housing 130 in a divided manner.

The embodiment in fig. 11 is the embodiment shown in fig. 7. As shown in fig. 7, a third air guide 1333 may be positioned between the radiator 182 and the heat absorber 181. Because the third air guide 1333 has a shape crossing the inlet 137 of the inner case 130, the third air guide 1333 may be fastened to the rear end of the second air guide 1332 after the thermoelectric module 180 is inserted into the first portion 131.

In the present embodiment, the air volume discharged to the air discharge port 115 is 42.6%, and the air volume discharged to the heat radiation flow passage 139 is 57.4%, so that the air volume supplied to the heat absorber 181 can be increased as compared with the case in the above embodiment. Since the first and second flow channels 1351 and 1352 are separated from each other by the third air guide 1333, the air volume supplied to the first and second flow channels 1351 and 1352 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the second air guide 1332.

Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an embodiment of a hair styling device 10 according to the present disclosure including various sensors 140 for identifying the attachment of a curling iron 200. The hairstyling device 10 according to the present disclosure may include a manual mode in which a user controls the driving of the hairstyling device using the button 151, and an automatic mode in which the curling iron 200 is recognized and the hairstyling device 10 is driven when the curling iron 200 is inserted into the air discharge port 115. Since hot air and cold air should be supplied to the plurality of curling irons 200 which curl hair, the automatic mode is more convenient to use than the manual mode.

The open end at one side of the curling iron 200 may include a magnet so that the curling iron 200 may be easily removed from the air discharge port 115 of the hair styling apparatus 10. The magnet of the curling iron 200 may be attached to the head 110 via a metal ring 116 made of SUS on the outer surface of the head housing 111 at a position in contact with the magnet of the curling iron 200.

A sensor 140 for detecting the coupling of curling iron 200 to head housing 111 may be included. When the magnets of curling iron 200 are attached to metal ring 116, the coupling of curling iron 200 may be detected via hall sensor 143 or optical sensors 141a and 141b (such as illuminance sensors or proximity sensors located in the portion covered when curling iron 200 is attached) that detect changes in the magnetic field.

The optical sensors 141a and 141b may be provided on the outer surface of the head housing 111 (optical sensor 141 a) or may be provided on the inner surface thereof (optical sensor 141 b).

Because the optical sensors 141a and 141b respond even when an object other than the curling iron 200 is detected, when the posture of the hairstyling device 10 is tilted for hair styling, it may be additionally determined that the curling iron 200 is coupled via the six-axis sensor 142.

When it is detected that curling iron 200 is coupled, the controller may operate fan motor 160 to first operate heater 170 and activate the hot air mode, and then operate thermoelectric module 180 to switch to the cold air mode. When the hot air mode and the cold air mode are activated, respectively, only the heater 170 may operate in the hot air mode, and in the cold air mode, the heater 170 may be turned off and only the thermoelectric module 180 may operate. However, in this case, the influence of the cool air is small due to the residual heat of the heater 170, and thus a transition mode for operating the thermoelectric module 180 at the end of the heater 170 mode may be included.

In the transition mode, both the heater 170 and the thermoelectric module 180 operate such that the temperature of the cold air may be substantially reduced when switching from hot air to cold air.

The hairstyling device 10 according to the present disclosure may use the thermoelectric module 180 to supply cool air having a temperature lower than that of the room temperature wind, thereby improving styling effect.

In addition, a flow passage of wind supplied for heat dissipation of the thermoelectric module 180 and a flow passage of wind supplied for heat absorption may be distinguished from each other to improve efficiency of the thermoelectric module 180 and to effectively supply cool air, thereby improving a modeling effect.

In addition, the hairstyling device 10 according to the present disclosure can easily attach/detach the curling iron 200 thereto/therefrom, and simply attaching the curling iron 200 can enable the supply of cold/hot air, thereby facilitating hair styling.

Although the present disclosure has been shown and described with respect to the specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be variously modified and modified without departing from the technical spirit of the present disclosure provided by the appended claims.
