application BR 10 2016 003027 7 - Hair dryers and other equipment that operate by heating principle are normally provided with electrical resistances that, when heated, promote by thermal exchange effect the heating of the airflow which is forced to circulate through them.
- In the case of hair dryers and similar equipment, the electrical resistance is normally mounted in a support structure, around which the helical body defining the resistance needs to be suitably arranged and secured.
- Conventional electrical resistances present a series of problems that arise largely from their physical presentation, which is an extremely malleable helical body, which to be produced in scale requires the use of complex equipment.
- From the point of view of the equipment in which this type of resistance is used, there is also a major problem resulting from the fact that the assembly thereof need to be obligatorily manual, thus increasing the final product.
- The conventional electrical resistances can be based on the use of wires as well as of metal strips produced with resistive material, which are rolled thus to assume a helical shape.
- In view of the state of the art described above, it is one of the objects of this invention patent application to provide a stamped resistive element for use in electrical equipment, which is stamped in a blank.
- Other object of this invention patent application refers to the manufacturing process of the stamped resistive, which process is used to enable the production of the resistive element described herein. Said process is a stamping process generating a blank, which configures the resistive element itself.
- Yet another object of this invention patent application is to propose an apparatus provided with stamped resistive element, which is defined as a hair dryer presenting a series of innovative technical aspects.
- This invention patent application proposes a stamped resistive element for use in electrical equipment, manufacturing process of stamped resistive element and apparatus provided with stamped resistive element, wherein the stamped resistive element itself shows a blank shaped configuration obtained by stamping process by using a metal with known resistive coefficient.
- The blank thus produced has a shape pattern that maximizes the area of contact with the fluid medium to be heated (air in the case of hair dryers and similar equipment).
- The stamping process stems from a metal laminate that has been subjected to a stamping tool and generates the stamped resistive element in its final form ready to be mounted.

Figure 4 illustrates a side view of the structure depicted inFigure 3 ; -
Figure 5 illustrates a side view opposed to the structure depicted inFigures 3 and4 ; -
Figure 6 illustrates a schematic view, which depicts the manufacturing process of the resistive element now proposed; and -
Figure 7 schematically illustrates a general diagram of a generic model of hair dryers incorporating the stamped resistive elements. - This invention patent application proposes a stamped resistive element for use in electrical equipment and manufacturing process of stamped resistive element, wherein the stamped resistive element itself is indicated by the
numerical reference 1 and consists of alaminar body 2, which is defined as astrip 3 of the flat surface definingparallel portions 4, each of which having continuity with the next throughcurved portions 5. The twoends 2A of thelaminar body 2 have an enlarged surface 2B, which allows the incorporation of a hole 2C that can be crossed byrivets 15 attaching to the electrical connection. - The
laminar body 2 defines a heating andheat transfer area 6, schematically depicted infigure 1A and which is established by the cover produced by the parallel 4 and curved 5 portions of thestrip 3. - The stamped
resistive element 1 shows twoflat faces 7 and aperimeter contour face 8, which are particularly illustrated inFigures 1 and2 . Theflat faces 7 and theperimeter contour face 8 are designed to have together an area A, which maximizes heat transfer in relation to the stream to be heated, which in the case of hair dryers and other similar equipment, is composed by air. - Therefore, the stamped
resistive element 1 shows a substantially greater efficiency in relation to conventional resistances. - Practically, the stamped
resistive element 1, when used in a hair dryer and when being fed with the standard voltage (110-220volts), generates power around 40 to 700 watts, which can be considered extremely low compared to the power of other devices, which often need to generate between 1,500 and 2,000 watts or more to be acceptably efficient. - It happens that the low power produced by the stamped
resistive element 1 is used more efficiently in the face of its larger thermal transfer area. - Therefore, the low power of about 40 to 700 watts, when transferred to the entire area of the stamped resistive element 1 (its two
flat faces 7 and its perimeter contour face 8), allows the airflow to be properly heated at a compatible level and even higher to that verified with the conventional electric resistances that operate in the aforementioned values of 1,500 and 2,000 watts, preferably 1,200 watts. - By being able to operate at such low power without jeopardizing the efficiency, the apparatuses that use the stamped
resistive element 1 show extremely low power consumption, a positive characteristic from which arises a number of advantages, such as: a) possibility to operate bi-volt effectively; b) possibility of using digital systems with regard to their on-off keys and selecting the temperature levels; c) possibility of being able to operate with rechargeable battery power and d) possibility to operate with USB connection. - The fact that the stamped
resistive element 1 is obtained from a metal blank also facilitates that other formats could be developed, providing greater freedom in developing the general format of the hair dryers, which normally show the distinctive "bottle" contour. - In the embodiment example of practical use illustrated in
figure 3 , a given number of stampedresistive elements 1 is mounted in asupport structure 9, produced in insulating material (micanite) and which is dimensioned to be mounted on the body of a hair dryer of S manual type (depicted inFigure 7 ). - It should be emphasized that the example of
figure 3 does not limit this invention patent application, since the stampedresistive element 1 can be configured to be mounted in other models of equipment operating by heating principle. - Still regarding the example depicted in
figure 3 , an airflow F is indicated, which passes along thesupport structure 7, thus contacting the stampedresistive element 1. - In the case of a typical hair dryer, the airflow F is driven by a rotor or turbine T connected to an electric motor M, which sucks the external air into the body of the apparatus, forcing it to exit by its opposite end and forcing this airflow to pass through the heating element (conventional resistances). In the present case the same occurs, wherein the airflow F contacts the stamped
resistive element 1. - The
support structure 9, such as depicted inFigure 5 , receives the mounting of athermostat 10, which is electrically connected to the stampedresistive elements 1, thus regulating its working temperature range. -
Figure 4 depicts the fact that the stampedresistive elements 1 are electrically connected byterminals faces 14 of thesupport structure 9. -
Rivets 15 promote fixation of theterminals faces 14 of thesupport structure 9, wherein one of these rivets are used to promote fixation of the connectingcables 16, such connectingcables 16, together with acable 17, being responsible for the electrical connection of the set of stampedresistive elements 1. - As seen in
figures 3 ,4 and5 , the stampedresistive element 1 is mounted in a simple form in thesupport structure 9 and, differently from that seen with respect to conventional electrical resistances, it shows a contact area with the substantially higher airflow F. - The stamped
resistive element 1, when incorporated to a hair dryer or other similar equipment, allows this equipment to be lighter, more economical and more efficient. - Differently from the hair dryers belonging to the state of the art and using helical electrical resistances, in the present case, the stamped
resistive element 1 shows an essentially laminar structure, which simplifies greatly its mounting in thesupport structure 9. -
Figure 7 schematically illustrates a general diagram of a generic model of hair dryer S incorporating the stampedresistive elements 1. - In said
Figure 7 , the stampedresistive elements 1, thesupport structure 9, the electrical motor M, the turbine or rotor T driven by the electrical motor M, a circuit board P operating the functions of the hair dryer S, a power supply FA, which is on one side connected to the external power cable CAE and, on the other side, to the mentioned circuit board P are schematically depicted. - In the same
Figure 7 , it can be also noted that to the circuit board P is connected to a set of digital drive keys indicated by the reference TAD [teclas de acionamento digital]. - Still regarding
Figure 7 , the model of hair dryer S illustrated as a non-limitative example incorporates other two technical and functional characteristics enabled by low power with which it operates the stampedresistive element 1, one of them being the fact that said hair dryer S can be fed by battery B, or even by means of a USB connection. -
Figure 6 illustrates a schematic view intended to depict the stamping process from which the stampedresistive element 1 is obtained. - In said
figure 6 , a laminar piece L, which can be presented in plates or in a continuous blade, in a first step, is subjected to a stamping tool FE, which, when activated, promotes the lowering of a stamping block BE against a fixed stamping block BF, which results, in a second step, thelaminar body 2 configuring the stampedresistive element 1 herein proposed. - In the same Figure 8, the arrows "A" are indicated, representing the advancement of the laminar piece L toward the stamping tool FE and the arrows "B" and "C", representing the up and down movement of the stamping block BE.
- Once again, it should be noted that the stamped
resistive element 1, although intended for the branch of hair dryers, might have other applications replacing conventional helical resistances, reason why this patent application is not limited to the given example. - The stamped
resistive element 1 herein proposed can be used including as a means of heating liquids and other substances. - Regardless of the use that may be made, the stamped
resistive element 1 object of this invention patent application will represent a gain in efficiency, economy, weight reduction and also in the use of manpower necessary for its assembly. - More than this, in face of its simplicity of form, the stamped
resistive element 1 can provide the introduction of automated assembly lines, also differing in this respect when compared to the helical electrical resistances belonging to the state of the art. - The stamped
resistive element 1 herein proposed is produced from a metal sheet manufactured so as to have a previously known resistive coefficient. - As must have remained clear and evident, the stamped
resistive element 1 herein proposed presents a series of advantages when compared to the conventional electrical resistances. - It should be emphasized that the stamped
resistive element 1, as depicted in the figures illustrating this patent application, is not limited to the format in which it is displayed, since the configuration depicted herein has been specifically developed for use in hair dryers that does not limit the use ofelement 1 to other types of application, which may require other format configurations. - Still regarding the example of use, where the stamped
resistive element 1 is applied to a hair dryer, it should be pointed out that the number of units of saidelement 1 may vary for more or less, the amount of four units not being an immutable condition. - In this sense, the
support structure 9 can also be adjusted in relation to the number of units of theelement 1 to be used, not being restricted to the illustrated configuration.
