  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention, but the invention according to the claims is not limited to the following embodiments. Moreover, not all of the configurations described in the embodiments are necessarily essential as means for solving the problems.

  FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a hair dryer 100 according to the present embodiment. The hair dryer 100 mainly includes a main unit 110 that generates hot air and cold air, and a grip unit 180 that the user grips. The hair dryer 100 generates heat and an air flow by the power supplied from the AC power source.

  In the main unit 110, a housing 116, which is a housing, surrounds the outer periphery to form a cylindrical shape, takes in outside air from an inlet 111, which is an opening at one end, and is adjusted from an outlet 112, which is an opening at the other end. Blow out an air stream. The air outlet 112 is divided into two, and is constituted by a first air outlet 113 for blowing out a relatively large amount of air flow, and a second air outlet 114 for discharging the air flow smaller than the first air outlet. . In the following description, the suction port 111 side is referred to as the upstream side, and the blowout port 112 side is referred to as the downstream side.

  The main unit 110 has an end connected to the grip unit 180. In the vicinity of the end, a toggle mode switch 115 is provided. The mode switch 115 switches between a cosmetic mode in which the cosmetic component is released to the air flow blown out and a non-cosmetic mode in which the cosmetic component is not released. The user operates mode switch 115 to switch to a desired mode.

  The grip unit 180 is pivotally connected to the main body unit 110 at one end side, and the user holds the grip unit 180 upright with respect to the main body unit 110 at the time of use and folds parallel to the storage time. The grip unit 180 has an on / off switch 181 near the center of the grip portion. The user can slide the on / off switch 181 into any of three positions. Each position is a cold air position in which one is an off position, one cuts off the current supply to the heater to be described later and sends cold air, and one is a hot air position in which the heating wire is current supplied and warm air is sent.

  When the user operates the mode switch 115 to switch to the beauty mode, the air flow mixed with the beauty component is blown out from the second outlet 114. The cosmetic component is adsorbed and held by the cartridge 140 as a cosmetic component holding member. The cartridge 140 is exchangeably attached to the main unit 110. That is, the cartridge 140 which has exhausted the cosmetic component is replaced with a new cartridge 140. Thereby, the hair dryer 100 can maintain radiation | emission of a cosmetics component continuously. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view showing how the main unit 110 mounts the cartridge 140. As shown in FIG.

  An opening is provided in a part of the housing 116, and the opening is covered with the housing lid 117 in normal use. The housing lid 117 is pivoted to the housing 116 by a hinge provided at one end side, and the user lifts the other end side of the housing lid 117 to open the opening when the cartridge 140 is replaced. A mounting portion 118 is provided at the back of the opening, and the user can mount the cartridge 140 on the mounting portion 118. By mounting the cartridge 140 and closing the containing lid 117, the user can operate the beauty mode of the hair dryer 100. The mode switch 115 may be provided with a lock mechanism so that the mode switch 115 can not be switched to the beauty mode when the cartridge 140 is not attached.

  FIG. 3 is a view schematically showing a central cross section of the housing 116 cut in a cross section parallel to the xz plane shown in the coordinate system of FIG. The figure shows only the main components. Specifically, the heater 121, the motor 122, the fan 123, the atomizing device 130, the cartridge 140 mounted on the mounting portion 118, and the water absorbing means 150, which are disposed in the housing 116, are shown.

  The fan 123 is rotated by the motor 122, takes in the outside air from the inlet 111, and generates an air flow toward the outlet 112. The motor 122 is, for example, a direct current motor, and functions as a blower together with the fan 123. The heater 121 generates heat by being energized, and heats the air flow generated by the fan 123 to convert it into warm air. The heater 121 is, for example, a heating wire, and is fixed so as to be positioned in the hollow portion of the housing 116 by being wound around an insulating plate or the like.

  The inner space of the housing 116 is divided into two by the inner wall 119 so that the outside air taken in from the suction port 111 is branched downstream on the downstream side of the fan 123. That is, the air flow generated by the fan 123 is divided by the inner wall 119 into an air flow B 0 directed to the first outlet 113 and an air flow B 1 directed to the second outlet 114. The heater 121 is disposed in the flow path of the air flow B0 so as to warm the air flow B0. Therefore, when the user sets the on / off switch 181 to the warm air position, the energized heater 121 warms the air flow B0. In addition, the air flow B1 passes through the water absorbing means 150, the atomizing device 130, and the cartridge 140, and goes to the second air outlet 114.

  The atomization device 130 is disposed in the flow path of the air flow B1. The atomization device 130 is a device that condenses the water contained in the surrounding air, and mists (atomizes) the condensed water to apply it to the air flow B1. That is, the atomization device 130 is a device that condenses the moisture in the air to generate a mist (a droplet which has been atomized), and in the present embodiment, a droplet having a diameter of ten to several hundreds of nanometers. Generate

  In addition to the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 3, the bottom view shown in FIG. 4 (that is, the view when atomizing device 130 is viewed from the negative side in the z-axis direction), and the rear view shown in FIG. The configuration of the atomization device 130 will be described using FIG. The atomization device 130 mainly includes a Peltier device 131, a cooling plate 132, a metal plate 133, a discharge electrode 134, and a heat dissipation means 135. A conductive cooling plate 132 is bonded to the heat absorption surface side of the Peltier device 131, and the cooling plate 132 is cooled by the Peltier device 131 (see FIG. 3). A dew condensation surface, which is a surface of the cooling plate 132 that is in contact with the air flow, condenses the moisture contained in the air, and the droplets adhere. That is, the cooling plate 132 cooperates with the Peltier device 131 to function as a condensation part. Further, the cooling plate 132 functions as a counter electrode to the discharge electrode 134. For this reason, the cooling plate 132 is connected to the ground potential. For example, the cooling plate 132 can be configured using a stainless steel material.

  A metal plate 133 is provided on the heat generating surface side of the Peltier element 131. For example, the metal plate 133 can be configured using a stainless steel material. The metal plate 133 is bonded with a heat radiating means 135 for heat radiation (see FIG. 3). That is, the heat generated on the heat generating surface side of the Peltier element 131 is transmitted to the heat dissipation means 135 via the metal plate 133 and is released from the heat dissipation means 135. The heat released from the heat radiating means 135 is carried on a part of the air flow B1 and discharged from the second air outlet 114 to the outside. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the heat radiating means 135 is provided so as to extend from the heat generating surface of the Peltier element 131 toward the upstream side of the air flow B1. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the heat dissipating means 135 may be provided with a heat dissipating fin 139 for promoting heat dissipating. The heat dissipating means 135 and the heat dissipating fins 139 are preferably made of a material having a high thermal conductivity, and can be made of, for example, a metal material such as copper or stainless steel.

  The discharge electrode 134 is connected to an electrode circuit described later, and is disposed apart from the cooling plate 132 by a predetermined amount so that a discharge is generated with the cooling plate 132 as a ground electrode. When a high voltage negative pulse is applied to the discharge electrode 134, a discharge occurs between the tip of the discharge electrode 134 and the cooling plate 132, and the dew condensation water condensed on the condensation surface of the cooling plate 132 As a negative ion charged mist. That is, the atomization device 130 applies the mist (electrostatically atomized droplets) charged to negative ions to the air flow B1.

  In the atomizing device 130, the dew condensation part may not be disposed directly in the flow path of the air flow B1. If the dew condensation water condensed on the dew condensation surface is misted by the discharge, if the mist is attracted to the air flow B1, it is possible to arrange in a place which is not directly exposed to the air flow B1. If the dew condensation surface is not directly exposed to the air flow B1, relatively large dew condensation water can be generated, and the size of the mist generated by the discharge can be easily controlled.

  In addition, the hair dryer 100 according to the present embodiment includes the water absorbing unit 150 inside the housing 116. Details of the water absorption means 150 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cartridge 140 is mounted to a mounting portion 118 provided downstream of the atomizing device 130. When the mist charged to negative ions passes through the inside of the cartridge 140, the cosmetic component adsorbed and held in the cartridge 140 is eluted into the mist, and the air flow B1 discharged from the second outlet 114 appropriately adjusts the cosmetic component. Reach the user's hair in the included state.

  The cosmetic components adsorbed and held in the cartridge 140 include, for example, proteins, mucopolysaccharides, collagen, elastin, keratin, vitamins and the like as those having moisture retention. In addition, as a cosmetic component, although it can select arbitrarily and use except the above-mentioned, from a viewpoint of improving the moisture retention etc. in hair etc. and recovering the pain of a cuticle etc., it is collagen as a cosmetic component. Is preferred.

  In addition, metal fine particles can also be adopted as a cosmetic component, for example, according to an embodiment such as supporting on collagen. Gold, silver, copper, platinum, zinc and titanium can be mentioned as candidates as metals that can be cosmetic components. Such metal fine particles can be attached to the hair to produce an antibacterial action or an antioxidant action. In particular, fine particles of platinum are known to have extremely high antioxidative action, and may be employed as a cosmetic component.

  FIG. 6 is a system configuration diagram of the hair dryer 100. The hair dryer 100 controls the entire electric system by a control unit 190 configured by, for example, a microprocessor. The switch state of the on / off switch 181 and the switch state of the mode switch 115 are electrically detected and transmitted to the control unit 190. The control unit 190 controls each circuit in accordance with the switch state. The control targets are mainly the heater circuit 191, the motor circuit 192, the Peltier circuit 193, and the electrode circuit 194.

  The heater circuit 191 is a circuit which energizes the heater 121 to maintain a constant heat generation state. The controller 190 controls the heater circuit 191 to function when the on / off switch 181 is at the warm air position. The motor circuit 192 is a circuit that energizes the motor 122 to rotate the fan 123 at a constant rotational speed. The controller 190 controls the motor circuit 192 to function when the on / off switch 181 is in the cold air position or the warm air position.

  The Peltier circuit 193 is a circuit that drives the Peltier element 131 to move heat from the heat absorption surface to the heat generation surface. The control unit 190 controls the Peltier circuit 193 to function when the mode switch 115 is set to the beauty mode. The electrode circuit 194 is a circuit that applies a high voltage negative pulse to the discharge electrode 134 to periodically generate a discharge between the discharge electrode 134 and the cooling plate 132. The control unit 190 controls the electrode circuit 194 to function when the mode switch 115 is set to the cosmetic mode.

  That is, when the mode switch 115 is set to the beauty mode, the atomization device 130 is in a mode for generating droplets. Therefore, the mode switch 115 corresponds to a switching unit that switches the mode in which the atomization device 130 generates droplets and the mode in which the atomization device 130 does not generate droplets.

  Next, the water absorbing means 150 provided in the hair dryer 100 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the water absorbing means 150 is provided inside the housing 116 of the hair dryer 100. The water absorbing means 150 is made of a material capable of absorbing moisture in the air at normal temperature and releasing the retained moisture when heated to the air. The water absorbing means 150 absorbs moisture in the air when the hair dryer 100 is not in use (for example, in a state in which the hair dryer 100 is stored).

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the dew condensation surface of the atomizing device 130 (that is, the surface of the cooling plate 132) and the water absorbing means 150 are disposed in one enclosed space. Therefore, when the atomizing device 130 is in the mode of generating droplets, the water absorbing device 150 is heated using the heating device to release moisture from the water absorbing device 150 into the air, whereby The humidity can be raised. Thereby, generation of droplets on the dew condensation surface of the atomization device 130 can be promoted.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the water absorbing means 150 is attached to the heat releasing means 135 provided on the heat generating surface of the Peltier element 131. When the atomization device 130 is in a mode for generating droplets, heat is transmitted from the heat generating surface of the Peltier element 131 to the heat radiating means 135, and the heat radiating means 135 is heated to a high temperature. Since the water absorption means 150 is attached to the heat dissipation means 135, the heat is transmitted from the heat release means 135 to the water absorption means 150, and the water absorption means 150 is heated. Therefore, when the atomizing device 130 is in the droplet generation mode, moisture is released from the water absorbing unit 150 into the air, thereby promoting the generation of droplets on the dew condensation surface of the atomizing device 130. At this time, the heat radiating unit 135 functions as a heating unit of the water absorbing unit 150.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the water absorbing means 150 is preferably provided on the upstream side of the air flow B1 with respect to the Peltier element 131. By providing the water absorption means 150 on the upstream side of the air flow B 1, the water released from the water absorption means 150 can be efficiently supplied to the dew condensation surface of the atomization device 130.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, it is preferable that the water absorption means 150 be provided on the surface of the heat dissipation means 135 on the Peltier element 131 side (that is, the surface of the heat dissipation means 135 on the negative side in the z-axis direction). . By providing the water absorption means 150 on the same side as the surface on which the Peltier element 131 is provided among the surfaces of the heat dissipation means 135, the water released from the water absorption means 150 can be efficiently applied to the dew condensation surface of the atomization device 130. Can be supplied.

  The material which comprises the water absorption means 150 will not be specifically limited if it is a material which absorbs a water | moisture content at normal temperature and discharge | releases a water when it is heated. For example, the water absorption means 150 can be configured using a desiccant. As the desiccant used for the water absorption means 150, one or more materials selected from the group consisting of silica gel, silica alumina gel, zeolite, calcium chloride, calcium oxide, magnesium chloride and magnesium oxide can be used.

  In addition, the water absorption means 150 may be configured using a porous honeycomb structure. For example, the water absorbency of the water absorption means 150 can be improved by using a paper honeycomb structure using a porous silica film. Further, the water absorption means 150 may be configured using porous ceramics. For example, alumina can be used as a material of porous ceramics.

  Even if it is materials other than these, if it is a material provided with a porous structure, absorbing moisture at normal temperature and releasing it when heated is expected. For example, the water absorbing means 150 may be configured using activated carbon such as a bamboo activated carbon filter.

  Also, although the case where the water absorbing means 150 is configured mainly using an inorganic material has been described above, the water absorbing means 150 may be configured using a polymeric material having water absorbency.

  Note that the user may manually supply water to the water absorption means 150 in an environment such as winter when the humidity is particularly low. In this case, it is necessary to separately provide a supply means for supplying water to the water absorption means 150 from the outside of the housing 116.

  As described above, in the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, dew condensation water is generated by causing moisture in the air to condense on the heat absorption surface. However, when the amount of moisture in the air is small, a sufficient amount of dew condensation water can not be obtained, so there is a problem that electrostatic atomized droplets can not be sufficiently generated using the atomization device. The

  On the other hand, in the hair dryer 100 according to the present embodiment, the water absorbing means 150 capable of absorbing the moisture in the air is provided inside the housing 116 of the hair dryer 100. Then, when the atomizing device 130 is in a mode for generating droplets, the water absorbing means 150 is heated using a heating means, and the moisture held in the water absorbing means 150 is released into the air. Therefore, since the humidity in the vicinity of the atomizing device 130 can be raised, the generation of droplets on the dew condensation surface of the atomizing device 130 can be promoted. Therefore, it is possible to provide a hair dryer that can efficiently generate electrostatically atomized droplets.

  Next, another configuration example of the hair dryer according to the present embodiment will be described using FIGS. 7 to 9. 7-9, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component same as the component shown in FIG.

  In the structural example shown in FIG. 7, the water absorption means 151 is arrange | positioned on the upper surface of the thermal radiation means 136 of the atomization apparatus 130a. For example, the heat radiation means 136 is configured using a metal plate, and the water absorption means 151 is attached to the top surface of the heat radiation means 136. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 7, since the water absorption means 151 is disposed on the upper surface of the heat dissipation means 136, the unit including the atomization device 130 a and the water absorption means 151 can be miniaturized. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 7, the radiation fin 139 shown in FIG. 5 is omitted. Therefore, in order to promote the heat dissipation of the heat dissipation means 136, it is preferable to use a material having a high thermal conductivity for the water absorption means 151.

  In the configuration example shown in FIG. 8, the water absorbing means 152 is disposed separately from the atomizing device 130 b instead of providing the water absorbing means in the heat radiating means 137 of the atomizing device 130 b. The water absorbing means 152 is provided on the upstream side of the air flow B1 with respect to the atomizing device 130b. In addition, a heater 160 is provided as a heating unit for heating the water absorption unit 152. While the configuration example shown in FIG. 8 shows the configuration in which the water absorption means 152 is provided on the bottom surface of the heater 160, the water absorption means 152 may be provided on the top surface of the heater 160.

  The heater 160 heats the water absorption means 152 to release the moisture held by the water absorption means 152 into the air when the atomizing device 130 b is in a mode for generating droplets. Although it is necessary to separately provide the heater 160 in the configuration example shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to heat the water absorbing means 152 more quickly than in the case where the heat dissipating means 135 of the atomizing device 130 is used as a heating means as shown in FIG. It is possible to control the temperature of the water absorption means 152 with high accuracy.

  In the configuration example shown in FIG. 9, the water absorbing means 153 is disposed separately from the atomizing device 130b as in the configuration example shown in FIG. Also in this case, the water absorption means 153 is provided on the upstream side of the air flow B1 with respect to the atomization device 130b. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 9, the heater 121 for heating the air flow B0 is used as the heating means, instead of providing a separate heater as the heating means.

  That is, the water absorbing means 153 is provided on the upper surface of the inner wall 119, and the heater 121 is provided below the inner wall 119. Therefore, when the heater 121 is turned on, the heat from the heater 121 is transmitted to the water absorption means 153 through the inner wall 119, and the water absorption means 153 is heated and the water held in the water absorption means 153 is released into the air. .

  For example, heat can be efficiently transmitted from the heater 121 to the water absorbing means 153 by using a material having a high thermal conductivity as the material of the inner wall 119 of the portion where the water absorbing means 153 is provided. Amount of water can be increased.

  In the configuration example shown in FIG. 9, since the heater 121 is used as the heating means, the atomization device 130b is turned on when the heater 121 is on, that is, when the on / off switch 181 is at the warm air position. It is preferable to construct in

  As mentioned above, although the present invention was explained according to the above-mentioned embodiment, the present invention is not limited only to the composition of the above-mentioned embodiment, It is within the range of the invention of the claim of the present claim. Of course, it includes various modifications, modifications, and combinations that can be made by a vendor. For example, the hair dryer 100 according to the present embodiment applies a negative pulse to the discharge electrode 134 to generate negative ions, but may apply a positive pulse to generate positive ions. When a positive pulse is applied to generate discharge, mist charged to positive ions is generated. In this case, positive ions reach the user's hair, and the antibacterial effect of the positive ions can be expected. Also, by changing the polarity of the pulse applied to the discharge electrode 134, negative ions and positive ions may be sequentially generated. Further, a plurality of discharge electrodes 134 may be provided to simultaneously generate positive ions and negative ions.
