Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the embodiments of the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5b, there is provided an accessory 10 capable of being mounted to a drying apparatus in the embodiment of the present application, the accessory 10 itself having a specially designed duct or outlet shape designed for changing the wind speed, the wind field shape, the number of airflows, etc. of the output airflow of the drying apparatus to achieve a desired drying effect. The accessory 10 is detachably mounted on the air outlet end 20 of the drying device, and a user can detach and mount different accessories 10 according to the need in the process of using the drying device or directly use the drying device without the accessory. The structure of the drying apparatus itself is not the focus of the present application, but only the air outlet end 20 of the drying apparatus with the air outlet 21 is shown in the relevant figures.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3a, the attachment 10 specifically includes a mounting assembly 11 and an air guiding body 12. Wherein the mounting assembly 11 has a mounting cavity into which the air outlet end 20 is inserted. The mounting assembly 11 includes a locking mechanism. After the air outlet end 20 of the drying device is inserted into the mounting cavity, the locking mechanism can lock the air outlet end 20 and the mounting cavity, and the mounting assembly 11 and the air outlet end 20 of the drying device cannot move relatively, so that the accessory 10 is firmly mounted on the air outlet end 20 of the drying device, and the state is hereinafter referred to as a locking state of the accessory 10 for short. The locking structure also releases the mutual locking between the air outlet end 20 and the mounting cavity, and the mounting assembly 11 and the air outlet end 20 of the drying apparatus can move relatively, so that the accessory 10 can be detached from the drying apparatus, which will be hereinafter simply referred to as the unlocked state of the accessory 10.

When the accessory 10 is installed, the air outlet end 20 of the drying equipment is inserted into the installation cavity of the accessory 10, the accessory 10 is switched to a locking state by operating the locking structure, the air outlet end 20 and the installation cavity are mutually locked, and the drying equipment cannot be pulled out from the installation cavity, namely, the installation process of the accessory 10 is completed. When the accessory 10 is detached, the locking structure is operated to switch the accessory 10 to the unlocking state, and then the drying equipment is pulled out of the installation cavity, so that the detachment of the accessory 10 is completed.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3a, the wind guiding body 12 has a first end 121 and a second end 122. The first end 121 is rotatably mounted to the mounting assembly 11, and an air guide inlet 1211 is provided at the first end 121, the air guide inlet 1211 being in communication with the mounting cavity. The second end 122 is provided with an air guiding outlet 1221. The air guide body 12 is a portion of the attachment 10 that actually guides air, and in a state in which the attachment 10 is mounted, the air flow output from the air outlet 21 enters from the air guide inlet 1211, flows along the inside of the air guide body 12, is guided, and flows out from the air guide outlet 1221 and exits the attachment 10.

When the drying apparatus mounted with the attachment 10 is used, the air flow outputted from the air outlet 21 of the air outlet end portion 20 of the drying apparatus is guided through the air guiding body 12 and then exits from the air guiding outlet 1221. The first end 121 of the air guiding body 12 is rotatably mounted to the mounting assembly 11, and the mounting assembly 11 is locked to the air outlet end 20 of the drying apparatus, so that the air guiding body 12 rotates freely relative to the air outlet end 20 of the drying apparatus without affecting the locking of the mounting assembly 11 to the air outlet end.

As can be seen from the above process, the attachment 10 in the embodiment of the present application is detachably mounted with the drying apparatus by the mounting assembly 11, and the air guide is implemented by the air guide main body 12. During the use of the drying appliance with the attachment 10 mounted thereon, the air guiding body 12 is free to rotate to change the air guiding direction, and the mounting assembly 11 remains locked with the air outlet end 20 of the drying appliance, so that the attachment 10 is secured to the drying appliance and the air guiding direction is free to rotate.

As shown in fig. 2, 3a, 3b, 5a, in some embodiments, the mounting assembly 11 includes a base 111 and an operating ring 112. The inner wall of the base 111 forms a side wall of the mounting cavity, and the first end 121 of the wind guiding main body 12 is rotatably mounted on the base 111. The operating ring 112 is rotatably sleeved outside the base 111. The locking mechanism includes a plurality of locking blocks 1111 movably disposed on the inner wall of the base 111, and a plurality of protrusions 1121 disposed on the inner side of the operating ring 112. When the operation ring 112 rotates relative to the base 111, the projection 1121 moves with the operation ring 112 and pushes the corresponding locking block 1111 to move in the mounting cavity axis direction. In other words, as the operating ring 112 rotates, the locking piece 1111 is pushed to gradually go deep into the installation cavity. It is to be readily understood that the rotation of the operation ring 112 with respect to the base 111 has directionality, and for convenience of description, when the accessory is switched to the locked state, the rotation direction of the operation ring 112 is referred to as a locking direction, and the direction opposite to the locking direction is referred to as an unlocking direction.

During installation of the accessory 10, the air outlet end 20 of the drying device is inserted into the installation cavity, then the operation ring 112 is rotated in the locking direction to enable the position of the locking block 1111 to move towards the axis direction of the installation cavity, the locking block 1111 gradually abuts against the outer surface of the air outlet end 20, and after the locking block 1111 reaches the limit position, the friction force between the locking block 1111 and the air outlet end 20 locks the air outlet end 20, so that the installation process of the accessory 10 is completed. During the disassembly process of the accessory 10, the operating ring 112 is rotated in the unlocking direction until the lug 1121 moves back, the locking block 1111 is not affected by the lug 1121, the abutting force between the locking block 1111 and the air outlet end 20 disappears, the accessory 10 is switched to the unlocking state, and the air outlet end 20 of the drying device is pulled out from the installation cavity of the accessory 10, so that the disassembly process of the accessory 10 is completed.

In other embodiments, the locking structure may be implemented by other structures, for example, a plurality of spring plungers are provided and are elastically abutted against the outer surface of the air outlet end 20 of the drying device to lock, or a screw thread, a bolt or the like is used to lock the air outlet end 20 and the mounting assembly 11.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, 5a and 5b, strip-shaped structures 1115 are formed by cutting along preset tracks at a plurality of positions on the side wall of the base 11; one end of the bar-shaped structure 1115 is connected to the base 111, and the other end is a free end, and the free end forms a locking block 1111. When the bar 1115 is pushed by the projection 1121, the locking block 1111 moves to the extreme position along the axial direction of the mounting cavity, and the accessory 10 is correspondingly locked.

The strip-shaped structure 1115 formed by directly cutting on the side wall of the base 111 has the advantages of low cost, low assembly difficulty and the like. Moreover, since the bar-shaped structure 1115 itself is a part of the side wall of the base 111, the material of the side wall of the base 111 provides the return elastic force of the bar-shaped structure 1115. The bar-shaped structure 1115 is kept flush with the side wall of the base 111 by the locking block 1111 formed by the free end of the bar-shaped structure 1115 under the condition of not being pushed by the protruding block 1121, and the accessory 10 is correspondingly in an unlocked state. In other words, the locking block 1111 does not require other return structures, and can quickly return when the accessory 10 is switched to the unlocked state.

As shown in fig. 5a and 5b, in some embodiments, the surface of the bar-shaped structure 1115 facing away from the mounting cavity is provided with an abutment block 1116, the abutment block 1116 increasing in thickness in a direction pointing towards the free end (locking block 1111).

During the process of switching the attachment 10 to the locked state, the operating ring 112 rotates in the locking direction and drives the projection 1121 to slide on the surface of the abutment 1116, and as the thickness of the abutment 1116 increases gradually, the projection 1121 gradually pushes the locking block 1111 to move in the axial direction of the mounting cavity until reaching the limit position during the process of moving from the thinner portion of the abutment 1116 to the thicker portion of the abutment 1116, and the attachment 10 is in the locked state. Similarly, in the process of switching the accessory 10 to the unlocked state, the operating ring 112 rotates in the unlocking direction and drives the protruding block 1121 to move from the thicker portion of the abutting block 1116 to the thinner portion, and the locking block 1111 moves back to the direction away from the mounting cavity due to the return elastic force of the material of the strip-shaped structure 1115, so that the accessory 10 is in the unlocked state.

In some more specific embodiments, as shown in fig. 5a and 5b, a detent 1114 is provided on the abutment 1116, the detent 1114 being located approximately at the thickest portion of the abutment 1116, and at least a portion of the tab 1121 being located within the detent 1114 in the locked state of the accessory 10. During the switching of the accessory 10 to the locked state, the user operates the operating ring 112 to rotate in the locking direction, the process of the projection 1121 entering the positioning groove 111 along the abutment block 1116 provides a locking feel feedback, and the user can be prompted that the accessory 10 has been currently switched to the locked state. In addition, in the locked state of the accessory 10, the locating groove 1114 provides a certain in-place locking effect to the inserted tab 1121, avoiding the tab 1121 from being withdrawn from the locked position by the resilience of the bar-shaped structure 1115, resulting in self-unlocking.

In some embodiments, the rotational mounting between the base 111 and the operating ring 112 is due to the rotational mounting between the base 111 and the wind guiding body 12. In different situations, the user can operate the operation ring 112 to rotate and also operate the wind guiding main body 12 to rotate, so as to avoid mutual influence of operation, and different rotation damping is arranged between the structures. The greater the rotational damping, the greater the resistance to rotation and the greater the rotational force that needs to be applied.

The method comprises the following steps: the rotational damping between the operating ring 112 and the base 111 is smaller than the rotational damping between the wind guiding body 12 and the base 111. In other words, the rotational force required to operate the operation ring 112 to rotate relative to the base 111 is smaller than the rotational force required to operate the wind guiding main body 12 to rotate relative to the base 111.

When the user operates the operation ring 112, the purpose thereof is to switch the unlocked or locked state of the accessory 10, and the operation at this time may be: the air guiding main body 12 is fixed, then the operation ring 112 is operated to rotate, and the rotation resistance between the air guiding main body 12 and the base 111 is large, so that the base 111 can be ensured to be static in the process, the relative rotation between the operation ring 112 and the base 111 is realized, and the switching process of the accessory 10 between the unlocking state and the locking state is completed. When the user operates the air guiding body 12, the accessory 10 must be already in a locked state with the air outlet end 20 of the drying apparatus, and the operation at this time may be: fixing the drying device and rotating the air guiding main body 12 can realize the relative rotation between the air guiding main body 12 and the base 111 (and the air outlet end 20), thereby realizing the adjustment of the air guiding direction.

As shown in fig. 3a, 3b and 4, in some embodiments, the mounting assembly 11 is rotatably mounted between the base 111 and the first end 121 of the air guiding body 12, specifically:

the base 111 is provided with a first annular groove 1112, and the first end 121 is provided with a plurality of first slide blocks 123 capable of sliding in the first annular groove 1112, and the plurality of first slide blocks 123 are arranged in an annular shape. The first end 121 of the wind-guiding body 12 rotates with respect to the mounting assembly 11, i.e., the plurality of first sliding blocks 123 slide in the first annular groove 1112. The plurality of first slider blocks 123 provided in the annular shape achieve relatively uniform rotational mounting strength in the radial direction. In other embodiments, the first end 121 is provided with a first sliding ring that can slide in the first annular groove 1112, and the first sliding ring is an annular or arc-shaped member with a circumferentially extending length, and can also perform a function of rotational installation.

In some embodiments, a second annular groove 124 is provided on the first end 121, and the base 111 is provided with a plurality of second sliding blocks 1113 capable of sliding in the second annular groove 124, and the plurality of second sliding blocks 1113 are arranged in an annular shape. The matching relationship between the second sliding block 1113 and the second annular groove 124 is similar to the matching relationship between the first sliding block 123 and the first annular groove 1112, and the rotational installation between the wind guiding main body 12 and the installation component 11 can also be achieved, and the description will not be repeated. Similarly, in other embodiments, the base 111 is provided with a second sliding ring that can slide in the second annular groove 124, and the second sliding ring is an annular or arc-shaped member with a circumferentially extending length, which can also function as a rotating mount.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the rotational mounting manner between the mounting assembly 11 and the air guiding main body 12 may be either of the above two embodiments, for example, using the first annular groove 1112 and the plurality of first sliding blocks 123 (or the first sliding ring), or using the second annular groove 124 and the plurality of second sliding blocks 1113 (or the second sliding ring).

In the embodiment shown in fig. 3a and 4, both the above two embodiments are adopted, that is, the air guiding main body 12 is provided with a plurality of first sliding blocks 123 (or first sliding rings) and second annular grooves 124, and the base 111 is provided with a first annular groove 1112 and a second sliding block 1113 (or second sliding rings).

In a more specific embodiment, the direction of the air flow in the attachment 12 is taken as an axial direction, the groove depth direction of the first annular groove 1112 is taken as a radial direction (i.e. perpendicular to the axial direction, the same applies below), and the protruding directions of the plurality of first sliding blocks 123 are correspondingly taken as radial directions. The groove depth direction of the second annular groove 124 is an axial direction, that is, perpendicular to the groove depth direction of the first annular groove 1112, and the protruding directions of the plurality of second slider blocks 1113 are corresponding axial directions. During assembly, the first end 121 of the air guide main body 12 is spliced with the base 11 along the axial direction, and the second sliding block 1113 and the second annular groove 124 are matched to realize radial positioning, so that the axis of the mounting assembly 11 and the axis of the air guide main body 12 are coincident; the first annular groove 1112 and the first sliding block 123 realize axial fixation, so that the mounting assembly 11 and the air guiding main body 12 are fixed with each other in the axial direction and cannot be pulled to be separated.

Further, in order to reduce the assembly difficulty, the surface of the first sliding block 123 facing the mounting assembly 11 is set to be an inclined surface, when the assembly is performed, the base 111 is abutted to the inclined surface of the first sliding block 123, so that the first end 121 is caused to find radial outward expansion deformation, the sliding block 123 is radially displaced, and accordingly the sliding block can slide along the outer wall of the base 111 until entering the position of the second annular groove 124, the material elasticity of the first end 121 enables the first sliding block 123 to be clamped into the second annular groove 124 in a returning mode, and the assembly of the first sliding block and the second annular groove is completed.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 5a, the mounting assembly 11 further includes a limiting assembly, where the limiting assembly includes a plurality of first limiting blocks 1118 disposed on the base 111 and a plurality of second limiting blocks 1122 disposed on the operating ring 112, and after the operating ring 112 rotates to a preset angle relative to the base 111, the first limiting blocks 1118 and the second limiting blocks 1122 abut against each other, so that the operating ring 112 cannot continue to rotate.

More specifically, the limiting assembly limits the two extreme positions of rotation of the operating ring 112 relative to the base 111:

first position, the tab 1121 does not contact the locking block 1111; or the projection 1121 pushes the locking block 1111, but the locking block 1111 does not protrude beyond the inner wall of the base 111, corresponding to the unlocked state of the accessory 10. When the accessory 10 is switched to the unlocked state, the operation ring 112 cannot continue to rotate after rotating to the first position in the unlocking direction, and the user can know that the accessory 10 is in the unlocked state at present and cannot continue to rotate the accessory 10, so that the accessory cannot return to the locked state again after rotating excessively.

In the second position, the projection 1121 pushes the locking block 1111 toward the mounting cavity to a limit position corresponding to the locked state of the accessory 10. When the accessory 10 is switched to the locked state, the operation ring 112 cannot continue to rotate after rotating to the second position in the locked direction, and the user can know that the accessory 10 is already in the locked state and cannot continue to rotate the accessory 10, so that the accessory cannot return to the unlocked state after rotating excessively.

With the cooperation of the first stoppers 1118 and the second stoppers 1122, the operation ring 112 is limited to rotate only within a predetermined angular range between two positions, wherein one of the two extreme positions is an unlocked position and the other one of the two extreme positions is a locked position. The user naturally thinks to rotate the operation ring 112 in one direction until the operation ring cannot rotate, so that the user quickly knows how to switch between the locking state and the unlocking state, and the operation learning cost is low.

In some embodiments, the bump 1121 may also form a second stop, and when the bump 1121 abuts against the first stop 1118, the first position of the operating ring 112 is corresponding.

In some embodiments, the second stopper 1122 also functions to axially define the base 111 and the operating ring 112. Specifically, the base 111 is provided with a stopper rib 1119, and the stopper rib 1119 protrudes in the radial direction. When the base 111 and the operation ring 112 are mounted to each other, the side wall of the second stopper 1122 abuts against the stopper rib 1119 to be limited, and the second stopper 1122 is limited to slide only along the side wall of the stopper rib 1119, so that the operation ring 112 and the base 111 are mounted to rotate in the axial direction with each other without being separated. Further, the side surface of the second limiting block 1122 facing the base 111 is configured as an inclined surface, so as to reduce the assembling difficulty.

As shown in fig. 3b, in some embodiments, the face of the locking block 1111 facing the mounting cavity is provided with a flexible shim 1117 for increasing friction. When the accessory 10 is mounted to the drying appliance, the locking block 1111 is pushed to move toward the air outlet end 20 of the drying appliance and abut against the outer wall thereof, and the flexible gasket 1115 is deformed by compression in the process to increase friction. The flexible spacer 1115 can improve the locking strength of the locking block 1111 to the air outlet end portion 20, and can avoid the damage of the hard contact between the locking block 1111 and the air outlet end portion 20 to the outer surface of the air outlet end portion 20.

As shown in fig. 2, 3a, 3b, in some embodiments, the mounting assembly 11 further includes a snap ring 113. The clamping ring 113 is sleeved and fixed outside the base 111, and the clamping ring 113 is located between the operation ring 112 and the wind guiding main body 12, and the outer wall of the clamping ring 113 is flush with the outer wall of the operation ring 112.

The clamping ring 113 is fixed with the base 111, when the user operates the operation ring 112 to rotate, the clamping ring 113 can be pinched to keep the base 111 fixed, and then the operation ring 112 is rotated, so that the whole base 111 is prevented from being driven to rotate when the operation ring 112 is rotated, and the locking state or the unlocking state of the accessory 10 cannot be switched. In addition, the outer wall of the clamping ring 113 is flush with the outer wall of the operating ring 112, and the two cover the base 111 together to form the outer wall of the mounting assembly 11, so that not only can foreign matters such as dust be prevented from entering between the operating ring 112 and the base 111, but also the mounting assembly 11 has better appearance consistency.

As shown in fig. 3a and 3b, in some embodiments, the air guiding body 12 includes an outer casing 126 and an inner casing 125. The housing 126 has a first end 121, the base 111 is inserted into the first end 121 and forms a rotating installation with the housing 126, and an outer wall of the first end 121 is flush with an outer wall of the clamping ring 113, so as to keep the overall accessory 10 to have better appearance consistency.

The inner case 125 is installed inside the outer case 126, and the inner case 125 has an air guide inlet 1211, an air guide chamber 1251, and an air flow outlet. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3a, the air flow outlet of the inner housing 125 is located inside the outer housing 126, and the air guiding outlet 1221 of the attachment 10 is provided in the outer housing 126. During wind guiding, the air flow passing through the inner housing 125 flows out from the air flow outlet and then flows through a part of the outer housing 126, and leaves the accessory 10 from the wind guiding outlet 1221 of the outer housing 126.

In some embodiments, the wind guiding body 12 further includes a flexible sealing ring (not shown) disposed at an outer edge of the wind guiding inlet 1211, and in a state that the accessory 10 is mounted to the wind outlet end 20, the wind guiding inlet 1211 and the wind outlet end 20 press the flexible sealing ring against each other to deform the flexible sealing ring, thereby sealing the outer edge of the wind guiding inlet 1211. During the rotation of the wind guiding body 12, the flexible sealing ring rotates synchronously and keeps the state of sealing the wind guiding inlet 1211, so that the rotation of the wind guiding body 12 does not affect the air flow entering the wind guiding inlet 1211.

As shown in fig. 1, in certain embodiments of the present application, there is also provided a drying assembly comprising a drying apparatus including an air outlet end 20 provided with an air outlet 21, and one or more of the foregoing accessories 10. For specific relations between the accessory 10 and the drying device reference is made to the description hereinbefore of the accessory 10.
