Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Düse für ein Haartrocknungsgerät, mit der ein Luftstrom über eine Einlaßöffnung, einen Durchlaßkanal und eine Auslaßöffnung nach außen abgebbar ist. Derartige Düsen für Haartrocknergeräte sind allgemein bekannt. Diese Düsen sind entweder einstückig mit dem Haartrocknergehäuse verbunden oder als eigenständig handhabbares Zusatzteil auf dieses aufsteckbar bzw. aufklipsbar. Die derzeit bekannten Düsen für Haartrockner sind entweder lediglich zur Bündelung oder zur Erweiterung des aus dem Haartrockner austretenden Luftstroms geeignet. Eine dynamische Beeinflussung des austretenden Luftstroms, etwa in Form von impulsartigen zeitlichen und/oder räumlichen Luftstromvariationen, ist mit den bekannten Düsen nicht möglich.The invention relates to a nozzle for a hair dryer, with which an air stream can be discharged to the outside via an inlet opening, a passage channel and an outlet opening. Such nozzles for hair dryer devices are generally known. These nozzles are either connected in one piece to the hair dryer housing or can be plugged or clipped on as an independently manageable additional part. The currently known nozzles for hair dryers are either only suitable for bundling or for expanding the air flow emerging from the hair dryer. A dynamic influencing of the exiting air flow, for example in the form of pulse-like temporal and / or spatial air flow variations, is not possible with the known nozzles.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Düse für einen Haartrockner derartig auszubilden, daß der austretende Luftstrom dynamischen, zeitlichen und/oder räumlichen Veränderungen unterwerfbar ist. Auch soll es mit einer Düse, die insbesondere als eigenständig handhabbares Teil auf den Haartrockner aufsetzbar und von diesem auch wieder abnehmbar ist, möglich sein, die Temperatur des austretenden Luftstroms zu variieren, so daß bei ein und derselben Heizstufe des Haartrockners zwei unterschiedliche Temperaturstufen des austretenden Luftstroms durch ein Aufsetzen bzw. Abnehmen der Düse ermöglich werden. Dieses Problem wird dadurch gelöst, daß an dem Haartrockner und der Düse Verbindungsmittel zur Verbindung der Düse mit dem Haartrockner vorgesehen sind, welche eine Rotation der Düse bezüglich des Haartrockners zulassen und daß die Düse Luftleitmittel aufweist, die in Zusammenwirkung mit dem die Düse durchströmenden Luftstrom ein Drehmoment auf die Düse ausüben. Dadurch, daß die Düse mittels des durchströmenden Luftstroms in Rotation versetzbar ist, wird der austretende Luftstrom zeitlichen und/oder räumlichen, dynamischen Veränderungen unterworfen, die insbesondere ein rasches Trocknen der Haare begünstigen. Besonders vorteilhaft tritt dieser Effekt dann hervor, wenn die Auslaßöffnung der Düse beispielsweise oval oder rechteckig ausgebildet ist. Darüberhinaus findet in Folge der Rotation der Düse und damit einhergehenden Rotation des austretenden Luftstromes eine Vermischung des aus dem Haartrockner austretenden Warmluftstroms mit der umgebenden Kaltluft statt, die insgesamt gesehen zu einer Herabsetzung der Temperatur des Luftstroms führt. Durch diese Maßnahme kann die Anzahl der vorhandenen Temperaturstufen des Haartrockners durch Aufstecken bzw. Abnehmen der Düse verdoppelt werden.The invention is based on the problem of designing a nozzle for a hairdryer in such a way that the exiting air flow can be subjected to dynamic, temporal and / or spatial changes. It should also be possible to vary the temperature of the escaping air flow with a nozzle, which can be placed in particular on the hair dryer and removed from it as an independently manageable part, so that with one and the same heating level of the hair dryer two different temperature levels of the escaping Air flow is made possible by attaching or removing the nozzle. This problem is solved in that the hair dryer and the nozzle are provided with connecting means for connecting the nozzle to the hair dryer, which means that the nozzle rotates with respect to the hair dryer allow and that the nozzle has air guide means which, in cooperation with the air flow flowing through the nozzle, exert a torque on the nozzle. Characterized in that the nozzle can be set in rotation by means of the air flow flowing through, the emerging air flow is subjected to temporal and / or spatial, dynamic changes, which in particular promote rapid drying of the hair. This effect is particularly advantageous when the outlet opening of the nozzle is, for example, oval or rectangular. In addition, as a result of the rotation of the nozzle and the associated rotation of the exiting air flow, the warm air flow exiting the hair dryer is mixed with the surrounding cold air, which overall leads to a reduction in the temperature of the air flow. This measure allows the number of available temperature levels of the hair dryer to be doubled by plugging in or removing the nozzle.

In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Verbindungsmittel als Achse und zugehöriges Aufnahmelager ausbildet und jeweils alternativ der Düse bzw. dem Haartrockner zugeordnet. Hierdurch wird eine konstruktiv einfache Lösung für eine Düse angegeben, unabhängig davon, ob diese nun abnehmbar oder fest mit dem Haartrockner verbunden ist.In one embodiment of the invention, the connecting means are designed as an axis and associated receiving bearing and are each alternatively assigned to the nozzle or the hair dryer. This provides a structurally simple solution for a nozzle, regardless of whether it is removable or permanently connected to the hair dryer.

Nach einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung sind die Luftleitmittel durch an der Innenwand der Durchlaßöffnung der Düse angeordnete Luftleitelemente bzw. durch eine asymmetrische Formgebung der Auslaßöffnung der Düse gebildet. Die Luftleitelemente können beispielsweise schraubenförmig ausgebildet sein, um beim Auftreffen des Luftstroms auf die Luftleitelemente ein entsprechendes auf die Düse wirkendes Drehmoment zu erzeugen. Eine alternative Ausgestaltung besteht darin, die Auslaßöffnung der Düse bezüglich einer Symmetrieebene asymmetrisch auszubilden, beispielsweise versetzte Aussparung oder ähnliches vorzusehen, um durch einen entsprechend reduzierten Strömungswiderstand an in etwa diametral einander gegenüberliegenden Bereichen der Auslaßöffnung ein Drehmoment zu erzeugen.According to a further aspect of the invention, the air guiding means are formed by air guiding elements arranged on the inner wall of the passage opening of the nozzle or by an asymmetrical shape of the outlet opening of the nozzle. The air guiding elements can, for example, be of helical design in order to hit them to generate a corresponding torque acting on the nozzle of the air flow on the air guiding elements. An alternative embodiment is to design the outlet opening of the nozzle asymmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry, for example to provide offset recesses or the like, in order to generate a torque by means of a correspondingly reduced flow resistance in regions of the outlet opening lying approximately diametrically opposite one another.

Dadurch, daß die Düse zwei oder mehrere kanalartige Durchbrechungen aufweist, wird eine insbesondere räumliche Variation des Luftstromes, beispielsweise eine Auffächerung des Luftstromes in Gestalt eines Kegelmantels möglich. Hierdurch wird der Trocknungsvorgang der Haare begünstigt. Vorteilhaft ist es, die Luftleitmittel als ein oder mehrere Kanäle auszugestalten, wobei die Kanäle exzentrisch und geneigt bezüglich einer Drehachse der Düse angeordnet sind.The fact that the nozzle has two or more channel-like openings enables in particular spatial variation of the air flow, for example a fanning out of the air flow in the form of a conical jacket. This favors the drying process of the hair. It is advantageous to design the air guiding means as one or more channels, the channels being arranged eccentrically and inclined with respect to an axis of rotation of the nozzle.

In Figur 1 ist die Düse 1 perspektivisch dargestellt. Der Haartrockner 2 und die Düse 1 sind hier in einer auseinandergenommenen Stellung gezeichnet. Die Achse 3 der Düse 1 ist an ihrem freien Ende mit einer Schlitzung bzw. einem Spalt 4 versehen und weist eine Kugelform 5 auf. Mit Hilfe des Spaltes 4 ist die Achse 3 in das Aufnahmelager 6 des Schutzgitters 7 des Haartrockners 2 montierbar, so daß die Düse 1 in diesem Lager 6 rotieren kann. Das Aufnahmelager 6 befindet sich bevorzugt in der Längsachse der Gebläsemotorwelle des Haartrockners 2. In dieser Darstellung weist die Düse 1 eine schmale Luftauslaßöffnung 8 und konkave Flächen 9 auf. Der Verlauf der Längskanten 10 zeigt asymmetrisch angelegte Aussparungen 10a. Sie bewirken, daß beim Luftaustritt entgegengesetzte Kräfte aneinander insbesondere diametral gegenüberliegenden Angriffspunkten der Düse zur Wirkung kommen und ein Drehmoment auf die Düse ausüben, sodaß diese in Pfeilrichtung 11 rotiert. Die Achse 3 der Düse 1 ist in der Mitte des Stützbalkens 12 (Fig.5) plaziert, welcher an dem runden, den Konturen der Ausblasöffnung des Haartrockners 2 angepaßten Basisrand 13 angebracht ist.In Figure 1, the nozzle 1 is shown in perspective. The hair dryer 2 and the nozzle 1 are drawn here in a disassembled position. The axis 3 of the nozzle 1 is provided at its free end with a slit or a gap 4 and has a spherical shape 5. With the help of the gap 4, the axis 3 can be mounted in the receiving bearing 6 of the protective grid 7 of the hair dryer 2, so that the nozzle 1 can rotate in this bearing 6. The receiving bearing 6 is preferably located in the longitudinal axis of the fan motor shaft of the hair dryer 2. In this illustration, the nozzle 1 has a narrow air outlet opening 8 and concave surfaces 9. The course of the longitudinal edges 10 shows recesses 10a which are arranged asymmetrically. They cause opposing forces to act upon one another, in particular diametrically opposite points of attack of the nozzle and exert a torque on the nozzle so that the nozzle rotates in the direction of arrow 11. The axis 3 of the nozzle 1 is placed in the middle of the support beam 12 (FIG. 5), which is attached to the round base edge 13, which is adapted to the contours of the blow-out opening of the hair dryer 2.

Während in Fig. 1 die Längskanten 10 der Luftausblasöffnung 8 asymmetrisch angelegte Aussparungen 10a aufweisen, zeigt Fig. 2 gerade verlaufende Längskanten 10 der Luftausblasöffnung 8. Sie sind jedoch so angelegt, daß sie in Seitenansicht (Fig. 3) eine umgekehrte Steigung zeigen. Die gestrichelte Linie markiert den sichtversperrten Verlauf der einen Längskante 10. In Fig. 3 ist auch die Anschlagskante 14 der Achse 3 zu sehen. Ihre Aufgabe besteht darin, den Basisrand 13 während der Rotation der Düse 1 nicht mit dem Haartrockner in Berührung kommen zu lassen.While in FIG. 1 the longitudinal edges 10 of the air outlet opening 8 have recesses 10a that are asymmetrically arranged, FIG. 2 shows straight longitudinal edges 10 of the air outlet opening 8. However, they are designed in such a way that they show a reverse slope in side view (FIG. 3). The dashed line marks the obstructed course of one longitudinal edge 10. The stop edge 14 of the axis 3 can also be seen in FIG. 3. Your task is not to let the base edge 13 come into contact with the hair dryer during the rotation of the nozzle 1.

Fig. 4 gibt die in Fig. 1 perspektivisch dargestellte Ausführung der Düse in einer schematischen Seitenansicht wieder. Die Längskanten 10 der Flächen 9 der Luftausblasöffnung 8 zeigen hier eine asymmetrische Anlage der Aussparungen 10a. Der sichtversperrte Verlauf der einen Aussparung 10a ist mit gestrichelter Linie angedeutet.FIG. 4 shows the embodiment of the nozzle shown in perspective in FIG. 1 in a schematic side view. The longitudinal edges 10 of the surfaces 9 of the air outlet opening 8 here show an asymmetrical arrangement of the cutouts 10a. The visually blocked course of the one recess 10a is indicated with a broken line.

Fig. 5 zeigt die Düse 1 in Blickrichtung zum Basisrand 13. Die Luftausblasöffnung 8 mit den asymmetrisch angelegten Aussparungen 10a ist hier deutlich zu sehen. Auch die Lage des Stützbalkens 12 mit der Achse 3 geben hier die konstruktiven Merkmale der Impulsdüse wieder. Während der Rotation der Düse 1 wirken die Flächen 9 der Luftausblasöffnung 8 wie ein rotierender Propeller, sodaß seitlich Luft in Raumtemperatur angesaugt und in Blasrichtung weiterbefördert wird. Dieser Vorgang ruft den besonderen Kühleffekt der Düse 1 hervor.5 shows the nozzle 1 in the direction of view towards the base edge 13. The air outlet opening 8 with the asymmetrically arranged recesses 10a can be clearly seen here. The position of the support beam 12 with the axis 3 also reflects the design features of the pulse nozzle. During the rotation of the nozzle 1, the surfaces 9 of the air outlet opening 8 act like a rotating propeller, so that air is laterally drawn in at room temperature and conveyed onward in the blowing direction. This process causes the special cooling effect of the nozzle 1.

In Fig. 6 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer Düse 1 dargestellt, bei dem die Düse zwei kanalartige Durchbrechungen aufweist. Die Durchbrechungen werden durch Kanäle 16, 17 ausgebildet, die exzentrisch und geneigt bezüglich der Drehachse 15 der Düse 1 angeordnet sind. Die Mittel zur Lagerung bzw. Befestigung der Düse 1 am Haartrockner 2 sind zeichnerisch nicht dargestellt, entsprechen aber im wesentlichen denen der vorherigen Beschreibung bzw. Figuren. Mit dieser Düse wird bei eingeschaltetem Haartrockner ein rotierender Luftstrom bestehend aus einem oder mehreren Einzelstrahlen erzeugt, die auf einem Kegelmantel umlaufen. Je nach Neigung der Kanäle 16, 17 kann die Rotationsgeschwindigkeit der Düse 1 bzw. eine Bündelung oder Streuung des Luftstroms eingestellt werden.6 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a nozzle 1, in which the nozzle has two channel-like openings. The openings are formed by channels 16, 17, which are arranged eccentrically and inclined with respect to the axis of rotation 15 of the nozzle 1. The means for mounting or attaching the nozzle 1 to the hair dryer 2 are not shown in the drawing, but essentially correspond to those of the previous description or figures. When the hair dryer is switched on, this nozzle generates a rotating air flow consisting of one or more individual jets that circulate on a cone jacket. Depending on the inclination of the channels 16, 17, the rotational speed of the nozzle 1 or a bundling or scattering of the air flow can be set.
