Hair iron 1 comprises battery demo plant (not shown), be used for to the password that requires battery unit before the heater element power supply, with guarantee this battery unit be approved, from but safe.Thereby battery unit 19 comprises battery and password storage device.
Hair iron 1 also comprises the power input end mouth (not shown) of the end 17 that is positioned at second hair clamp 5, to allow to being contained in the battery supplied electric power in the battery unit 19 that is installed in the hair iron and charging.
Hair iron 1 also comprises control circuit (not shown), is used to control the power supply to heater element.This control circuit is arranged to provide effective work of heater element.
Hair iron 1 also comprises protective device, and this protective device comprises the contiguous hot melt connector 59 of heater element that is positioned at each hair clamp.Connector 59 comprises the weldering bridge 65 (illustrating with empty outline line) that links connector 67,69. Connector 67,69 is connected to protective circuit (not shown).Weldering bridge 65 is arranged to: if the temperature of hot melt connector 59 surpasses 220 ℃, then melt and disconnect protective circuit, and then cause the power failure to heater element.Thereby if hair iron is overheated, then this hot melt part can reduce to danger on fire minimum.
Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 have illustrated that best heater element comprises thick film heater element 27.Hair iron also comprises the Aluminum cover 29 that stretches out, and described Aluminum cover covers thick film heater element 27 and heater element 7,9 is provided.Each thick film heater element 27 comprises the substrate 51 that carries resistive element 53.
Substrate 51 comprises 96% alumina substrate, and its size is 80mm * 15mm * 0.635mm.Substrate itself has good thermal conductivity to allow heat flow and to help entire substrate to reach consistent temperature.
The resistive element 53 that provides heat to export comprises the conductive traces of the plane silk screen printing of low-resistance value, and described conductive traces is as resistor.Resistive element 53 is made of the slurry that comprises palladium-silver and a small amount of glass.The actual resistance that is generally 4 ohm is limited by the geometry of the surface resistivity of slurry, final roasting thickness and conductive traces itself.
Heater element 27 forms by following steps: slurry is printed on the substrate, thereafter with the trace drying, then 850 ℃ of following roastings so that metal is sintered on the ceramic substrate with the thickness that is about 13 μ m.Then, the planar resistor element is by coated with at the protectiveness glaze of 520 ℃ of following roastings seal, this glaze seal with printed circuit board (PCB) on the very identical mode of welding resistance current-carrying part is insulated.Reserve conductive welding spots 55 and make it to be uncovered, to allow being welded to connect electric wire 57 with dystectic scolder.
Fig. 9 has illustrated a kind of alternate embodiments of heater element 127, and it comprises the substrate 151 with embedding resistive element 153 wherein.Resistive element 153 is positioned at apart from the about 1mm of this heater element downside, the about 2mm of upside place.Heater element 127 also is provided with anchor clamps 63 can be connected to hair iron.
Adopted the hair iron (not shown) of this heater element 127 not comprise cover plate.As an alternative, polishing has been carried out so that a contacted smooth contact surface of the hair with the user to be provided in the surface 61 of substrate 151.Therefore, in use, heater element 127 is as contact plate.
Heater element 127 is produced in the following manner: form the ground floor ceramic substrate in pressing mold, the resistive element 127 that will comprise the resistance trace that is printed on the carbon substrate is laid to substrate, and lays second layer ceramic substrate and these layers are pressed on together on resistive element.In case these are laminated together, and they toast a cycle lasting fortnight, begin to return low temperature from low temperature in gas burner.Then with the terminal of wire bonds to the trace that is attached to resistive element.
Hair iron comprises power supply (on/off) switch 31.This switch can move switching on and off between the position, and switch spring 33 provides resistance to prevent unexpectedly to collide this switch for this motion.Switch 31 has added lamp decoration, and is arranged to glisten when hair iron is in working temperature.
This on-off switch coupling is associated with locking component 35, and itself and mains switch 31 provide a locking device together.Locking component 35 is mounted to first hair clamp 3 and can moves between latched position (Fig. 1) and off-position (Fig. 2).
When being in the off-position, locking component 35 is arranged to not to engage with second hair clamp 5 or any part that is installed in the battery unit 19 on second hair clamp, thereby makes hair clamp 3,5 open and close freely.In use, when mains switch 31 moved to on-position, locking component 35 moved to the off-position.
When being in latched position, locking component 35 is arranged to: when hair clamp was closed, the locking component holding device interior with being formed at the battery unit that is installed on second hair clamp 5 19 engaged, and makes hair clamp 3,5 remain closed.
In use, when mains switch 31 moved to open position, locking component 35 moved to latched position.
Locking component 35 is made up of the snap close 36 of elastically deformable, it comprises a spring that is biased to bonding station, wherein, when locking component was in latched position and hair clamp closure, latch engages was positioned at the recess 37 of the battery unit that is mounted to second hair clamp 5 so that hair clamp 3,5 is locked together.
In illustrated execution mode, mains switch 31 comprises the supporting leg 39 of the supporting leg 41 that is used to engage snap close 36.Supporting leg 39 limits the motion of snap closes 35 towards battery unit recess 37, but does not limit the motion away from recess 37.Therefore because locking component 35 is made up of snap close 36, so the bonding station of snap close corresponding to the latched position of locking component, and asynthetic position is corresponding to the open position of locking component.
In use, if close hair iron 1 when hair clamp opens, then locking component 35 can be deformed into unengaged position from bonding station when hair clamp 3,5 closures, thereby can not stop hair clamp 3,5 closures.In this operation, when snap close moved to unengaged position, switch 31 remained on open position.In case hair clamp 3,5 closures, then locking component 35 is back to bonding station, thus the hair clamp of locked closed 3,5.
---do not having the occasion of power supply easily---even the hair iron that should understand according to preferred implementation of the present invention helps allowing user's hair straightening and can provide a plurality of security features with the protection user.
