  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[First Embodiment]
FIGS. 1-15 is the figure which showed 1st Embodiment of the hair care apparatus concerning this invention, In this embodiment, the hair dryer 1 shall be demonstrated as an example as a hair care apparatus. In FIG. 1, Fr indicates the front and Up indicates the upper side.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the hair dryer 1 includes a housing 3 having a wind tunnel portion 2 in which an air flow path W is formed, and a grip mounting portion projecting from the lower side of the rear end portion of the housing 3. 31 and a grip part 5 that is foldably connected via a connecting part 4 that is rotatable. The housing 3 is configured by combining and combining housing parts divided into left and right.

  The wind tunnel portion 2 has an air inlet 2a at the rear end (upstream end of the air flow path W: right side in FIG. 1) and a front end (downstream end of the air flow path W: left side in FIG. 1). An air outlet 2b is provided, and an air blower 6 and a heater (not shown) are arranged in series inside the wind tunnel 2 from the rear to the front. The wind tunnel portion 2 is set in the housing 3 with a cylindrical air flow path W secured between the inner surface of the housing 3 and the wind tunnel portion 2 and the housing 3 are integrated. In the present embodiment, the air outlet 2b is the tip of the nozzle 7 attached to the front end of the wind tunnel portion 2, but when the nozzle 7 is removed, the tip of the wind tunnel portion 2 becomes the air outlet 2b.

  The blower unit 6 includes a fan 61, a motor 62 that rotates the fan 61, and a rectifying leg 63 that supports the motor 62 inside the wind tunnel portion 2 and has a function of rectifying passing air. The fan 61 is rotationally driven by the motor 62 to generate an air flow in the wind tunnel portion 2 so that the air sucked from the air suction port 2a is blown out from the air outlet port 2b. In other words, the blower 6 is disposed in the air flow path W and has a function of blowing the air introduced into the air flow path W. At this time, by supplying electricity to the heater (not shown) and heating it, the air blown from the air outlet 2b can be heated.

  In addition, an ion generator 8 that generates and discharges negative ions is provided at the upper part of the wind tunnel portion 2. The ion generation unit 8 includes an ion generation block 81 that generates negative ions, and a high voltage generated by the high voltage generation unit 82 disposed in the grip attachment unit 31 is applied to the ion generation unit 8 to cause corona discharge. As a result, negative ions are generated.

  The ion generation unit 8 introduces a part of the air flowing in the wind tunnel portion 2 from the opening 2K cut out on the upper side of the wind tunnel portion 2, and forwards negative ions generated together with the introduced air from the ion emission port 83 to the front. Released. The negative ions are said to give gloss and moist feeling to the hair and to exert an effect on removing hair habits.

  The ion generation unit 8 holds an ion generation block 81 (see FIG. 9), and is provided with an air generation path 84 that is introduced from the wind tunnel section 2 and an ion generation section cover 85 that forms the ion discharge path 83 described above. . In the present embodiment, the ion generator cover 85 is formed of a synthetic resin material.

  A switch SW is provided at the front center portion of the grip portion 5 so as to be switchable in a plurality of upper and lower stages. The switch SW is used to turn on / off the motor 62 and the heater and adjust the air volume. A cord C connected to a power source is attached to the lower end of the grip portion 5.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the air suction port 2a is provided with a porous protective frame 10 that subdivides the opening region of the suction port 2a. Large foreign matter is prevented from entering the wind tunnel portion 2 by mistake.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a mesh-shaped filter 11 that further subdivides the opening area of the protective frame 10 is arranged on the outer side of the protective frame 10. 1 to 4 do not show the filter 11 for the sake of convenience. This is for the purpose of illustrating the inside of the protective frame 10 (such as the straightening legs 63) and the opening 10a (annular frame portion 10b and linear frame portion 10c described later).

  The filter 11 has a function of preventing relatively small foreign matters such as dust, dust, and hair from entering the cavity 2 and is formed of a metal mesh or a mesh made of a flame-retardant resin such as polyester. The aperture ratio of the filter 11 is preferably 50 to 90 percent (preferably 50 to 75 percent) and a fine mesh width of 300 to 650 μm. By using the filter 11 having such a fine mesh width, it is possible to more effectively prevent fine dust, hair, and the like from entering the fan 61, the motor 62, and the heater portion.

  The protective frame 10 has a plurality of annular frame portions 10b concentrically arranged around the approximate center of the air intake port 2a, and extends radially from the approximate center of the air intake port 2a so as to intersect with the annular frame portion 10b. It is comprised by the some linear frame part 10c. Therefore, the plurality of openings 10a of the protective frame 10 are formed by the annular frame portion 10b and the linear frame portion 10c.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the linear frame portion 10c includes an inner straight portion 10cA positioned inside the annular frame portion 10bA that is the innermost circumferential side of the plurality of annular frame portions 10b and an outer side positioned outside. The straight portions 10cB are arranged so as to be shifted from each other with respect to a straight line direction that is a radial direction.

  The protective frame 10 and the mesh-shaped filter 11 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material. At that time, among the synthetic resin materials to be molded, it is preferable to use ABS having a low melting point in terms of preventing deterioration of the filter 11 during molding. The thickness of the protective frame 10 is preferably about 1.5 mm.

  Further, the linear frame portion 10c of the protective frame body 10 is provided with a first frame 10c1 as a main frame, a second frame 10c2 and a third frame 10c3 as subframes in the present embodiment, and the first frame. The width of 10c1 is preferably about 2 mm, and the widths of the second frame 10c2 and the third frame 10c3 are preferably about 1.5 mm. At this time, it is preferable that the number of the first frames 10c1 having the largest width as the main frame is different from the number of the rectifying legs 63 of the blower unit 6 and the number of the fans 61 in consideration of the problem of noise due to resonance. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, there are seven rectifying legs 63, six fans 61, and eight first frames 10 c 1.

  Furthermore, the strength of the protective frame 10 can be further increased by arranging the second frame 10c2 in the middle of the first frame 10c1. When the third frame 10c3 is integrally formed with the mesh filter 11, the strength of the mesh filter 11 can be secured.

  Further, the protective frame 10 increases the strength of the air suction port 2a by increasing the number of bars such as the annular frame portion 10b and the linear frame portion 10c, and the damage to the suction port 2a due to dropping or impact is further increased. On the other hand, in terms of performance, the air volume is reduced due to an increase in the number of crosspieces. Therefore, the number of the annular frame portion 10b and the linear frame portion 10c is determined in consideration of these factors.

  In the present embodiment, the shape of the opening 10a of the protective frame 10 is substantially trapezoidal due to the annular frame portion 10b and the linear frame portion 10c. It is more preferable to form a honeycomb structure having a regular hexagonal shape.

  Note that the protective frame 10 of the present embodiment is integrally or firmly coupled to the housing 3 so as not to be detachable. That is, the fact that the protective frame 10 cannot be attached / detached in this manner means that in this embodiment, the mesh-shaped filter 11 integrally formed with the protective frame 10 is also not attachable / detachable to / from the housing 3. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, mounting protrusions 10 d are formed at a plurality of locations or all around the periphery of the protective frame 10, and the mounting protrusions 10 d are fitted to the outer periphery of the rear end portion of the housing 3. However, at this time, by attaching or press-fitting the mounting projection 10d to the housing 3, the protective frame body 10 can not be easily attached / detached and cannot be attached / detached in a normal operation.

  By the way, in the hair dryer 1 of this embodiment, the part which covers the ion generating part 8 provided in the upper part of the housing 3 in this embodiment is decorated on the back side (center direction side of the housing 3) in this embodiment. It is composed of a transparent or translucent decorative case 20 provided with a portion 21. The decorative case 20 is integrally formed of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material. At this time, the decorative portion 21 provided in the decorative case 20 has a diamond-cut polyhedral shape formed by a change in the thickness of the decorative case 20, as shown in FIG.

  The polyhedral decorative portion 21 is coated with a metallic gloss (opaque material). The decorative portion 21 may be attached with a metal foil or printed with various colors other than the metallic paint. Further, the outer surface of the decorative case 20 may be decorated by printing.

  Thus, when the part which covers the ion generation part 8 is comprised by the transparent or semi-transparent decoration case 20 which provided the decoration part 21 in the back side, when the decoration case 20 is seen from the outer side, the polyhedral shape of the decoration part 21 will be shown. It is possible to generate shadows with excellent design by reflecting light. Thereby, the decorative effect with the depth which did not exist conventionally can be brought out, the external appearance property of the hair dryer 1 can be improved more, and commercial value can be raised more. Moreover, since the decoration part 21 is provided in the back side of the decoration case 20 and is not provided separately, the number of parts can be reduced, and an increase in cost, weight increase, and deterioration in production efficiency can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the decorative case 20 is formed by engaging engagement pieces 23 provided on both sides of a substantially central portion in the front-rear direction with a claw piece 32 protruding from the inside of the housing 3. 3 is attached. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the locking piece 24 provided at the rear end portion of the decorative case 20 is engaged with a locking portion 2 c that is located inside the housing 3 and protrudes from the outside of the wind tunnel portion 2. ing. Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the decorative case 20 is attached to the housing 3 by causing the claw portions 22 provided on both sides of the front end portion of the decorative case 20 to be hidden inside the connecting portion 9. At this time, the engaging piece 23, the claw portion 22, and the locking piece 24 are locked at positions that are not visible from the outside.

  Therefore, the decorative case 20 that is transparent or translucent is configured such that the engaging portion cannot be seen from the outside of the decorative case 20, so that the design of the decorative portion 21 of the decorative case 20 is impaired by the engaging portion. Is prevented. Thereby, the external appearance of the hair dryer 1 is made favorable and the commercial value can be further increased.

  In addition, an ion generator cover 85 is disposed inside the decorative case 20, but the ion generator cover 85 is not engaged with the decorative case 20. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 15, the engaging portion (the right end portion in FIG. 4) 85a of the ion generating portion cover 85 is engaged with the engaging piece 33 of the housing 3, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, the engaging portion 85 b formed at the front end of the ion generating portion cover 85 is hidden and locked inside the connecting portion 9. At this time, the engaging portions 85 a and 85 b of the ion generating portion cover 85 are made invisible from the outside through the transparent or translucent decorative case 20.

  Therefore, the ion generating part cover 85 is not engaged with the decorative case 20, and the engaging part of the ion generating part cover 85 cannot be seen from the outside of the decorative case 20 that is transparent or translucent. . Thereby, the external appearance of the decorative case 20 portion can be improved and the commercial value can be further increased.

  In the hair dryer 1 having such a configuration, when the switch SW is turned on, the fan 61 rotates and air is introduced into the wind tunnel portion 2. And the air introduce | transduced from the air suction inlet 2a blows off toward the hair from the air blower outlet 2b. Note that the blowing air can be switched between hot air and cold air by turning on and off the heater, and hair can be adjusted and dried arbitrarily. In addition, by operating the ion generation unit 8, negative ions can be released from the ion release port 83 of the ion generation unit 8 toward the hair, giving the hair a glossy and moist feeling, and effective for removing the hair's habit. Will be done.

  As described above in detail, in the hair dryer 1 of the present embodiment, the opening region (a plurality of protection frame bodies 10) is provided outside the porous protection frame body 10 provided in the air inlet 2 a. A mesh-shaped filter 11 for further subdividing the openings 10a) is arranged. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to deposit dust on the filter 11, and even if dust adheres to the filter 11, the dust can be easily cleaned from the outside, and the maintenance of the air suction port 2 a can be simplified. it can. That is, it is possible to suppress the problem that dust accumulates on the step between the protective frame 10 and the filter 11.

  Further, the protective frame 10 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of annular frame portions 10b that are concentrically arranged, and a plurality of linear shapes that extend radially from the approximate center of the air inlet 2a so as to intersect the annular frame portion 10b. It is comprised by the frame part 10c. Therefore, the strength of the protective frame body 10 can be increased, and the strength of the filter 11 disposed outside can be secured by securing the strength of the protective frame body 10 in this way.

  Further, the straight frame portion 10c of the protective frame 10 includes an inner straight portion 10cA located inside the annular frame portion 10bA that is the innermost side of the plurality of annular frame portions 10b and an outer straight portion 10cB located outside. Are arranged so as to be shifted from each other with respect to the straight line direction. Therefore, the edge of the central portion does not stand at the time of molding so that the strength of the mold can be ensured, and the mesh-like filter 11 can be arranged in the annular frame portion 10bA that is the innermost side. become.

  Furthermore, since the openings 10a of the protective frame 10 have a honeycomb structure, the strength of the crosspieces can be kept uniform and the total area of the openings 10a can be increased, so that the air volume is further increased. Can be made.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the protective frame 10 and the mesh-shaped filter 11 were integrally formed by the synthetic resin material, peeling of the filter 11 at the time of cleaning can be prevented more reliably. That is, when the protective frame 10 and the mesh-shaped filter 11 are joined by heat welding or the like, the filter 11 may be easily peeled off when cleaning is performed. Can be suppressed. Further, by integrally forming the protective frame 10 and the filter 11, it is possible to further enhance the appearance of the external appearance by further enhancing the sense of unity between the two.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the protective frame 10 is integrally or firmly coupled to the housing 3 so that it cannot be detached, the filter member such as the protective frame 10 is detachable from the air inlet 2a. Compared to the above, the number of parts can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost, weight and size. That is, when the filter member is detachable from the air suction port 2a, another filter member is further provided on the back side so that a finger or the like does not enter the wind tunnel portion 2 when the filter member is removed. Need to be installed. When another filter member is provided in this way, the filter member has a double structure, so that the cost increases due to the increase in the number of parts, the weight increases, and the size increases. It can be suppressed. Further, by making the protective frame body 10 non-detachable, there is no possibility of losing the protective frame body 10.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 16 and 17 are views showing the hair dryer according to the present embodiment. In the description of the present embodiment, the same components as those in the hair dryer 1 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  The hair dryer 1A of the present embodiment is a mesh that further subdivides the protective frame 10 on the outside of the porous protective frame 10 provided in the air suction port 2a in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The filter 11 is arranged.

  Here, the hair dryer 1A of the present embodiment is mainly different from the hair dryer 1A of the first embodiment in that a porous support frame having substantially the same shape as the protective frame 10 on the outside of the mesh-like filter 11 is used. 12 is further provided. The support frame 12 sandwiches the mesh filter 11 with the protective frame 10 to prevent the filter 11 from peeling more reliably, and is positioned outside the filter 11 so that the filter 11 is not positioned on the outermost surface. Thus, the filter 11 is prevented from being broken by rubbing.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the support frame 12 has an opening 12 a formed in the support frame 12 corresponding to the opening 10 a of the protective frame 10 and substantially the same shape as the opening 10 a. . That is, the support frame 12 includes an annular frame portion 12 b and a linear frame portion 12 c that are the same as the protective frame body 10. The openings 10a and 12a of the protective frame 10 and the support frame 12 are arranged so as to substantially coincide with the air inflow direction.

  In the present embodiment, the support frame 12 is formed of a synthetic resin material in the same manner as the protective frame 10 and the mesh-shaped filter 11, and the protective frame 10, the filter 11, and the support frame 12 are integrally formed. It has become.

  Further, the thickness of the support frame 12 is formed thinner than the thickness of the protective frame 10, and the thickness of the protective frame 10 is about 1.5 mm, whereas the thickness of the support frame 12 is about 0.2 mm. It is preferable to be formed to a thickness of. That is, when the thickness of the support frame 12 is 0.2 mm or less, or when the support frame 12 is not provided, the mesh-like filter 11 is easily damaged by rubbing. On the other hand, if the thickness of the support frame 12 is made too thick, dust tends to accumulate in the ridges of the filter 11, and it is difficult to accumulate dust and can be easily cleaned even if dust adheres. There is a risk that the effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, if the support frame body 12 is formed to a thickness of about 0.2 mm, the hair dryer 1A can suppress the breakage of the filter 11 and can simplify the special effect, that is, the care of the air suction port 2a. Can be provided.

That is, in the present embodiment, the mesh filter 11 and the protective frame 12 integrally molded with the housing 3 are also detachable from the housing 3.

  With the above configuration, according to the hair dryer 1 </ b> A of the present embodiment, the opening region of the protective frame body 10 (the plurality of openings 110 a) is formed outside the porous protective frame body 10 in the same manner as the first embodiment. Since the mesh-shaped filter 11 is further subdivided, it is difficult to deposit dust on the ridges of the filter 11.

  In this embodiment, since the porous support frame 12 having substantially the same shape as the protective frame 10 is provided on the outer side of the mesh-shaped filter 11, the protective frame 10 can be reinforced by the support frame 12. . Since the openings 10a and 12a of the protective frame body 10 and the protective frame body 12 are substantially aligned with the air inflow direction, the air volume is reduced while increasing the strength of the protective frame body 10. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the thickness of the support frame 12 is made thinner than the thickness of the protective frame 10, even if dust adheres to the filter 11 while suppressing damage to the filter 11, the dust is removed from the outside of the support frame 12. Can be easily cleaned. That is, although dust accumulates on the filter 11 inside the support frame 12 that becomes a step, the support frame 12 formed thinner than the thickness of the protective frame 10 can make the step smaller than before. The dust accumulated on the filter 11 can be easily cleaned.

  In addition, since the support frame 12 is integrally formed with the protective frame 10 and the mesh-like filter 11, peeling of the filter 11 can be prevented more reliably. Moreover, since the outer side of the filter 11 can be covered with the support frame 12, damage to the filter 11 due to rubbing or the like can be suppressed, and durability of the filter 11 can be improved.
