Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is used in barbershops, beauty parlors, etc., and sprays steam onto the hair and face to moisturize the hair and hair during curling, permanent hair, or shaving. This invention relates to a moist heat device for hair that is easy to use.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventional hair moist heat devices of this type have been equipped with a blower and a steam generation chamber in a water tank equipped with a heater, but the air from the blower is sent into the steam generation chamber, where it is mixed with steam. The air is blown toward the discharge port.

Therefore, the air blown from the blower lowers the temperature in the steam generation chamber, and to compensate for this, the heat output of the heater has to be increased, and the temperature discharged from the outlet also increases, creating a risk of burns. .

[Purpose of invention]

In this invention, the air from the blower does not pass through the steam generation chamber, and the steam generated in the steam generation chamber is sucked and mixed using a double pipe. This prevents the air from lowering the temperature of the steam generation chamber, and increases the heater capacity. The purpose of this invention is to make the discharge temperature smaller than that of the conventional method and to lower the discharge temperature from the discharge port to prevent the risk of burns, thereby eliminating the drawbacks of the conventional method.

Since the blown air contains ozone, an ozone effect can also be expected.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an aquarium, on the bottom of which an electric heater 2 is installed in a spiral shape, and the current flowing through the heater 2 can be freely increased or decreased by a controller 4 operated by a knob 3. The amount of steam generated when the water contained in the water tank 1 boils can be controlled, and the generation of steam can also be prevented by cutting off the current.

5 is a thermal protector protruding into the aquarium 1, which senses when current is supplied to the heater 2 and the aquarium 1 becomes overheated even though there is no water in the aquarium 1, and sends the heat to the heater 2. This is to cut off the current.

A pedestal 6 is mounted and fixed on the water tank 1, and a water storage tank 7 is placed on this, and the water in the water storage tank 7 drips onto the pedestal 6.
When the water surface on the pedestal 6 reaches a certain level, the replenishment of air to the water tank 7 is stopped, and therefore the dripping of water is stopped.

Then, water flows from the pedestal 6 to the water tank 1 to replenish the amount of water that has been reduced due to vaporization in the water tank 1.
The water level always remains constant.

One corner of the pedestal 6 is provided with an outlet 6a for discharging the steam generated in the water tank 1, and a drain pipe 8 for discharging the water contained in the water tank 1 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 1. The water in the water tank 1 is drained by operating the tip of the drain pipe 8.

A centrifugal type blower 9 is installed at the bottom of one side of the aquarium 1, and an ozone lamp 10 is installed opposite the inlet of the blower 9.
is rotated by the operation of switch 17,
When the ozone lamp 10 is turned on, ozone-containing air is drawn into the blower 9 and led out from the air outlet.

This air outlet opens at the lower side of the air guide body 12 that accommodates the steam pipe 11 connected to the outlet port 6a, and is guided around the steam pipe 11 by the air guide body 12.

Each of the above parts is housed in the cover 13, and an arm tube 14a of the air guide tube 14 is rotatably attached to one side of the cover 13, and the tip of the arm tube 14a is connected to the air guide body 1.
2, and the air blown by the air blower 9 is introduced into the arm tube 14a and reaches the air guide tube 14.

A retaining ring 16 is fitted into the arm tube 14a, and its split groove 16a is tightened by a tightening screw 15. When the tightening screw 15 is loosened, the arm tube 14a is tightened.
can rotate freely, but if this is tightened, the split groove 16a will contract and the retaining ring 16 will fix the arm tube 14a, thereby fixing the rotation of the arm tube 14a, that is, the rotation of the air guide tube 14. do.

An inner tube 18 is inserted into the air guide tube 14 and the arm tube 14a, forming a double tube shape.The proximal end of this inner tube 18 is connected to the steam tube 11, and the steam generated in the water tank 1 is passed through this tube. It is guided into the inner tube 18.

In addition, the air guide body 12 is provided with a drain port 12a directly below the part where the arm tube 14a is connected, and when water droplets form on the inner wall of the air guide tube 14 and the arm tube 14a and drip, the air flow guide body 12 is provided with a drain port 12a directly below the part where the arm tube 14a is connected. The air flows back to the air guiding body 12 and is drained from the drain port 12a through the drain pipe.

The outer tip of the wind guide tube 14 forms a notch and is screwed into the screw ring 19. When the screw ring 19 is tightened, the notch is compressed and the inner diameter is reduced, but when this is loosened, the notch returns to its original size. Accordingly, the inner diameter of the air guide tube 14 is also restored to its original value, and as a result, the discharge tube body A, the steamer hood B, and the dryer C whose proximal tube diameter is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the air guide tube 14 can be created. It is removable and can be replaced.

Further, the end of the inner pipe 18 terminates at approximately the same position as the end of the air guide pipe 14, and a diffusion piece 2 is attached to the end of the inner pipe 18.
0 is inserted, and the surface of the diffusion piece 20 facing the inner tube 18 is formed into a polar conical surface. Therefore, the steam ejected from the inner pipe 18 to the air guide pipe 14 is diffused in all directions by the polar conical surface, and is uniformly and sufficiently mixed with the air flowing through the air guide pipe 14.

On the other hand, the discharge tube A has a long tube 21 whose tip is curved so as to face sideways at a substantially right angle to form a discharge port 21a at the tip, and a planar receiving surface 2 around the tip.
1b.

This receiving surface 21b and the base end of the curve are returned to the pipe 2.
2, water droplets are generated on the inner wall of the tube body 21, and even if the water drops toward the discharge port 21a, it is received by the receiving surface 21b, flows back through the return tube 22, and flows toward the base end of the tube body 21. It's starting to flow downhill.

In addition, the steamer hood B has a U connected to the pipe body 23.
A hemispherical dome-shaped hood 25 is attached to the letter-shaped discharge pipe 24.
Attach the hood 25 to the top of the hood 25.
A temperature sensor 26 is attached to detect the temperature inside 5.

Furthermore, the dryer C has a heating wire 2 in the blowing body 29.
7, and the discharge port 2 is opened by the heat generated by the heating wire 27.
A tube body 28 is attached to the base of a flexible tube 30 that heats the air discharged from 9a and is connected to a blow-off body 29.

As mentioned above, these tube bodies 21, 2
The outer diameter of 3 and 28 is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the air guide pipe 14, and by loosening the screw ring 19, it can be attached to and removed from the air guide pipe 14 and attached to the discharge pipe body A, steamer hood B, or dryer C. Can be used as a replacement.

In addition, by pushing the pipe bodies 21, 23, 28 into the air guide pipe 14 to an arbitrary position and tightening the screw ring 19 in that state, the pipe bodies 21, 23, 26 can be fixed in that position. The protruding length of A, steamer hood B, and dryer C can be adjusted.

Therefore, if the water storage tank 7 is filled with water and placed on the pedestal 6, the water in the water storage tank 7 will flow out to the pedestal 6 until the water level in the water tank 1 reaches a certain level.

In this state, when the knob 3 is operated to control the current flowing through the heater 2 using the controller 4, the heater 2 generates steam corresponding to the current.

Next, when the switch 17 is turned on, the blower 9 rotates and at the same time the ozone lamp 10 is also turned on, and the air containing ozone is transferred to the air guide body 12 by the blower 9.
It is guided to the air guide pipe 14 through the arm pipe 14a, and the inner pipe 1
Pass through the tip of 8.

Therefore, negative pressure is generated at the tip of the inner tube 18, and the steam is ejected while being diffused in all directions by the diffusion piece 20 due to the pressure of the steam generated in the water tank 1, so that the air passing through the outer circumference is uniformly and The mixture becomes sufficiently mixed.

When the discharge pipe body A is attached to the air guide pipe 14, this air-fuel mixture is introduced into the pipe body 21, discharged from the discharge port 21a, and is sprayed onto the hair and beard. It imparts wettability to hair, making it easier to curl and shave.

At this time, the temperature of the mixture discharged from the discharge port 21a can be controlled by adjusting the current flowing through the heater 2 with the controller 4 to increase or decrease the amount of steam generated. Since the lengths are approximately the same, changing the length of the pipe body 21 protruding from the air guide pipe 14 does not have much effect.

Furthermore, when the steamer hood B is attached to the air guide pipe 14, the air-fuel mixture is discharged from the U-shaped discharge pipe 24, and the space between the hood 25 and the head crowned with it is filled with the air-fuel mixture. It can add moisture to the hair and make it easier to curl.

The temperature inside the hood 25 is measured by a temperature sensor 26.
senses the temperature and controls the current flowing through the heater 2 to match the set temperature, increasing or decreasing the amount of steam generated.

Furthermore, when the current flowing to the heater 2 is cut off, the water in the water tank 1 is not heated, so the generation of steam is stopped, and no steam is supplied to the air passing around the diffusion piece 20, so the air blown to the hood 25 is dry. The device only blows out air that has cooled the air, accelerates the drying of the hair, and can also function as a hair dryer.

Next, if a dryer C is attached to the air guide pipe 14 and a current is supplied to the heating wire 27, and the dry air is blown into the air guide pipe 14 as described above, it will be heated by the heating wire 27 and become hot air. Since it discharges water, it can be used as a dryer.

Therefore, the steamer hood B and the dryer C also have a pipe body 2 protruding from the air guide pipe 14, similar to the discharge pipe body A.
3, 28 can be adjusted to change its position.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention introduces water vapor generated from a water tank into a steam pipe, and introduces air blown by an air blower into an air guiding body arranged around the outer periphery of the steam pipe, and is constructed with a double pipe. Since the inner pipe and the air guide pipe are rotatably attached to the steam pipe and the air guide body, and a diffusion piece is attached to the tip of the inner pipe, the steam discharged from the tip of the inner pipe is diffused. At the same time, a mixture containing diffused vapor is discharged from the tips of the air guide pipe and the inner pipe, and therefore, it is possible to provide even wetness to hair, etc., and the double pipe is rotated. Since it is flexible, it has the advantage of being able to freely set the destination of the air-fuel mixture.
