Detailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 a and 1b shows thermal finalization utensil 10, and it has handle 20 and dismountable head 30, and this head 30 is attached to fluid intake 40 at end 22 place of handle 20.But this is can by the example of utensil type used according to annex of the present invention; The present invention is not restricted to the utensil that annex is used to this particular type.Utensil only needs fluid intake, fluid issuing, enter the fan unit of fluid intake and the heater for adding hot fluid before leaving utensil at it for pumping fluid.

This handle 20 has outer wall 26, and this outer wall 526 is generic tubular and is included in and closes on the fluid intake 40 at an end 24 place.Fluid intake 40 comprises first group of hole 44, and this first group of hole 544 outer wall 26 radially around handle 20 and from handle end 24 along handle extends.This handle end 24 is covered by end wall 42, and it is also perforated as having second group of hole 46, and this second group of hole 546 extends through the end wall 42 of handle.Therefore, fluid intake 40 is around, edge with stride across handle 20 and extend.End wall 42 is perpendicular to the exterior wall 26 of handle and interior wall 60.

This handle 20 also comprises fan unit 70, this fan unit 70 comprises fan and motor, this motor-driven fan and in use, pumping fluid is through fluid intake 40, advance along fluid flow path 50, and this fluid flow path 50 extends through the length of handle 20.Fluid heated optionally by heater 80 before entering the inner chamber 38 of head 30.

Head 30 comprises fluid issuing 100, and it comprises parallel slot 102 in this embodiment, and each headward the second end 36 extends and is arranged as radially around head 30.This configuration can make fluid fully around head, discharge head in most of length of head 30, can maximize the hair fixing region of this product.

In use, hair is wound around head 30, and the air of simultaneously discharging through groove 102 or fluid drying hair and shaping hair are curly hair or wavy.Hair due to air stream automatically around the surface wrap of head 30.Air or fluid can be heated, but this is not necessary.

Electric power is provided to thermal finalization utensil by cable 48, and this cable 548 preferably extends through the end wall 42 of handle 20 from plug or other power supplys.This handle 20 also houses PCB75, and this PCB575 is electrically connected to cable 48 by internal wiring (not shown), fan unit 70 and heater 80.Shift knob 52 and control button 54 are provided and are connected to PCB75 selects one to allow user from the scope of temperature and flowing setting.

Handle 20 is tubulose and the exterior wall 26 of handle 20 is cylindrical sleeves.Handle is connected to head 30 at first end 22 place, and arranges fluid intake 40 at far-end (the second end) 24 place.Fluid intake 40 filters the first device entering the fluid of fluid flow path 50.

Fluid intake 40 comprises multiple hole, the plurality of hole around, along and extend across handle 20.When being used in hair decorative device, the entrance extended along three dimensions has special advantage.First, open on the surface if utensil is placed on, only the sub-fraction in inlet surface region is by blocked or have the confined fluid stream entering utensil simultaneously.This protects fan unit, and protects the motor of fan unit not run under too low flow rate especially, and this can cause motor overheated and cause the damage of motor.

Secondly, hair care appliance often uses together with approved product, such as mousse, gel or spraying.These products are typically supplied by hand or are directly fed to hair as mist.After being applied by hand, some products will be maintained on skin, so these products are transferred to utensil when utensil is held.This can block thorny handle 20 and at least one some holes 44 extended along handle 20.But, in the hole 46 that downward-extension and the end wall 42 striding across handle of handle extend by unaffected.When product is supplied as mist, it can to drop on utensil and to stop or at least one some holes of limit fluid entrance 40 equally.But, by make hole around, along and stride across handle 20 and extend, the risk of blocking fluid intake 40 is reduced.

Hole is preferably circular, has the diameter of 0.2 to 1.6mm.The diameter in this hole can edge, around and stride across handle 20 and change.Advantageously by hole around, along and spaced apart regularly across fluid intake 40.Not only vivid satisfactory, and it also possess skills on advantage be not have the weakening area of fluid intake 40, more may affect entering the flowing of fluid intake 40 or on the flowing entering fluid intake 40, there is larger impact in the blocking of a weakening area place part.The fluid that this entrance is designed to enter entrance at least around handle 20 periphery be uniform.

Foam block 58 is provided, and it is in use inserted into the second end 24 of handle 20.Foam block 58 enters the second device of the fluid of major fluid flow path 50 for being filtered through main fluid entrance 40.Benefit is that foam block 58 extends beyond main fluid entrance 40 or extends farther than main fluid entrance 40 towards the first end 22 of handle, because this guarantees that the fluid entering main fluid entrance 40 is through foam block 58, thus has double-filtration.

Shown foam block 58 is cylindrical, and is substantially filled in the region in main fluid entrance 40 place handle 20.This passes this second filtration grade in order to ensure the fluid by entering across the second hole 46 extended with the end wall 42 through handle 20 and all fluids passed through around entering main fluid entrance with the first hole 44 extended along handle.Foam block 58 longitudinally extends to more farther than the first hole 42 of main fluid entrance 40 from the second end 24 of handle 20.

The fluid issuing 100 of head 30 describes in detail referring now to Fig. 2 a, 2b, 3a and 3b.Head 30 is substantially cylindrical, and has first end 32, for being connected to handle 20, and the second end 36, away from first end 32.Head 30 axially extends from first end 32 to the second end 36, and (Fig. 1 a), thus has the diameter substantially identical with handle to continue the line limited by handle 20.Be inner chamber 38 in head 30, and entered inner chamber 38 by the fluid of the fluid flow path 50 in fan unit 70 suction handle 20 via the hole 302 in the first end 32 of head 30.

Fluid issuing 100 is formed by some parallel slots 102, and its length along head 30 extends to the second end 36 from first end 32.Groove 102 is formed by the overlap 120 (Fig. 3 b) be formed between adjacent panels 110, directed between the radially-outer surface 106 that the inner surface 114 of its inner radial surface 104 causing fluid to be formed at the outer surface 112 by the first plate 110a and the second plate 110b is formed.The fluid 122 of stream place groove 102 relative to the outer surface 112 tangentially 130 of plate 110a, and combines the fluid gone out from other concentrated flow of fluid issuing 100, forms the fluid stream around head 30 periphery.Thus, fluid 122 is blown out by the outer surface along head, and this initial hair is automatically wound around head 30.

Plate 110 forms the exterior wall 184 of head 30, and fluid issuing 100 extends through this outside 184.

The fluid 122 leaving groove 102 attracted to the curved surface of head 30 by Coanda effect.This and then the hair automatically twisting surface causing head 30 to meet with, so and be configured as curly hair.When air is blown by the length along hair, wet hair is drier quickly than ordinary circumstance, and when winding process occurs when not using mane, once hair is dry or shape, hair can slip away head 30, thus can not tangle.

In order to keep the size of each groove 102, distance piece 108 is provided.In this example, a pair distance piece 108 is provided to the size that keeps buying a groove 102.This to each in distance piece 108 along groove 102 and plate 110 longitudinally-spaced.Adjacent panels 110 combines by distance piece 108.

Advantageously, each plate 110 is lined with felt-like material 308, such as Kevlar or lint (see Fig. 3 b).Material 308 does not extend on each groove 102, thus leaves the layer of fluid not through material 308 of fluid issuing 100.This layer is for absorbing by some noises of the 30 fluid generations of flowing to fluid issuing 100 through head 30 from entrance to head in hole 302.Such material layer 308 can be used for other head as herein described, such as head 130,180 and 230.

With reference now to Fig. 4 a, 4b, 4c, 5a and 5b, especially, annex 150 comprises heat shield piece or slender member 160, and it extends along head 280.Annex 150 is attached to thermal finalization utensil 10 removedly via running-on 170, and this running-on thorny handle 20 near head 280 is located.Slender member 160 extends along the length of head 280, and (Fig. 5 a) for the constant distance between the outer wall 284 remaining on slender member 160 and head 280 or gap d.

In a first embodiment, annex 150 is fixed relative to head 280, gap or distance d are restricted to and make hair can be wound into head 280 when annex 150 is attached to thermal finalization utensil 10, or hair can be wound then annex 150 and can be attached to thermal finalization utensil 10.In order to realize this two kinds of functions, gap or distance d are 10mm.If gap or distance d reduce, then when annex 150 is in place, hair is compromised around the winding action of head 150.If annex is only attached after hair is wound, then distance d can be lowered to 5mm or less.

In a second embodiment, annex 150 can move between the second place shown in the primary importance shown in Fig. 4 a, 4b, 4c, 5a and 5b and Fig. 6 relative to head 280.In the second place, slender member 150' is angled relative to head 280, and gap between the outer wall 284 and slender member 150' of head 280 or distance d' change from running-on 170 to the end 152 of slender member 150'.In this example, gap or distance d' are increased to about 10mm.In this example, gap less near the handle end of head 232 or distance d' can be accepted, and not pipe fittings be before winding hair, period or be attached afterwards, because this limited gap or distance d' only extend short distance along head 280.

The head 280 of this example is different from head 30 part described about Fig. 1 a, 1b, 2a and 2b and is that head 280 has the diameter of reduction compared with handle 20.First end 32, substantially there is the diameter identical with handle 20 for being connected to handle 20, and then in the axle collar 232, the diameter of head 280 was reduced to the diameter of reduction before the fluid issuing 200 formed by groove 282, and then continued constant diameter to the second end 236.This head 280 is used to set up the volume tighter than head 30.

In addition, groove 282 bends around head 280, is formed and spirals or the pattern of spiral around head 280.Groove 282 bends the angle [alpha] of 45 ° from the longitudinal axis A-A of handle 20 and head 280, and (Fig. 5 a).In this example, groove 282 bends along clockwise direction from the second end 236 that the first end 34 of head 280 is headward.Groove 282 is formed between adjacent overlapping plates 210 as before.But in order to form curved slot 282, plate 210 does not extend along the longitudinal axis of head 280, but bend with 45° angle degree.Angled groove is used to change the profile of the fluid of discharging from head.The air stream of discharging from groove is more orthogonal to groove when angled groove uses.This benefit had comprises can make more hair be wound around by around head, and hair is more easily remained on head, and causing may crystallization operation faster.
