Further, the treatment element is provided within the main body 10 and is configured to perform an operation on the hair by means of at least power controlled based on a state of the hair, which is detected from an image captured by the panoramic lens 14.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a panoramic view of a user's hair may be obtained. In this way, the hair dryer 1 'can detect the condition of the hair via the information obtained from the panoramic view, and in turn control the operation of the hair dryer 1' in order to achieve a good care effect.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1-3, the treatment element may include a heating device 13. The heating device 13 is configured to heat air flowing through the main body 10 to generate heated air. The main body 10 further includes an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 provided on the main body 10. Air enters the main body 10 through the air inlet 11, and heated air exits the main body 10 through the air outlet 12. As shown, the panoramic lens 14 is disposed adjacent to the air outlet 12.
In this way, the power of the blower 1 'can be controlled to effect the regulation of the temperature of the heated air leaving the body 10, according to the state of the user's hair captured by the panoramic lens 14. For example, if it is detected that the user has too many hairs with water droplets, i.e. the hairs are too damp, drying of the hairs may be accelerated by increasing the power of the blower 1' to increase the speed or temperature at which the heated air leaves the air outlet 12.
In some embodiments, the number of hairs may be determined by the proportion of the area of the detected hairs in the captured image. In some embodiments, the hair and the water drop on the hair can be distinguished according to the difference of the reflection degree of the water drop on the hair and the hair, and the dryness degree of the hair can be determined by the proportion of the water drop on the hair in the image.
It should be understood that some of the image recognition methods listed herein are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Any suitable method known or developed in the future may be employed to acquire information in the hair image.
As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, panoramic lens 14 may be positioned proximate to air outlet 12. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the panoramic lens 14 may be disposed on a side adjacent to the air outlet 12. In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the panoramic lens 14 may be disposed at a corner of a side where the air outlet 12 is located and an adjacent side.

It should be understood that the position of the panoramic lens 14 shown in the figures is illustrative and not limiting. The panoramic lens 14 may be positioned elsewhere on the straightener 1 ", for example in the middle of the second jaw 32, adjacent to the second heater 34, as long as the specific position is such that the panoramic lens 14 can view the hair of the user and does not affect the normal operation of the straightener 1".
By means of the image detected by the panoramic lens 14 of the straightener 1 ", the operating parameters of the straightener 1" can be adjusted depending on the state of the hairs in the image. For example, if the number of curly hairs is detected above a threshold value, the power of the straightener 1 "may be increased accordingly to change the power of the heater in the first jaw 31 or the second jaw 32. In this way, the straightener 1 "may improve the straightening effect of the hair.
