[Conventional technology]

If you use a hair dryer to partially set or dry your hair, it may cause odor. The direction of the air blowing from the nozzle can be adjusted to the left and right, or to the top and bottom in a vertical direction. or when the nozzle is attached, the air flow is almost the same as when the nozzle is not attached. Being able to get closer to the exit area increases the setting and drying efficiency, and also makes it easier to use. This is desirable for ease of use.

0003 When changing the pattern and direction of the blowing air, it is necessary to It would be troublesome to replace the nozzle one by one for each air outlet on the dryer body, and A hair dryer with a replaceable nozzle that can be installed in hotels. In this case, these nozzles are easily lost or stolen.

0004 Therefore, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-168205, Even if the nozzle is attached to the wind outlet of the lyre body, the direction of the flat blowing air can be adjusted vertically or vertically. There are some that can be turned horizontally or horizontally.

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4. In Figures 2 and 3 The hair dryer consists of a dryer main body 1 and a wind outlet 2 at the tip of the dryer main body 1. The nozzle 3 is fixedly attached to the nozzle 3. The dryer body 1 has a cylindrical body case 4. Inside this, there is a heating device 5 consisting of a heater, a fan 6 and a fan drive device. A blower device 9 consisting of a motor 7 is placed in front and behind the fan. Therefore, motor 7 When the fan 6 is driven and rotated, air is emitted from the suction port 10 on the rear end side of the main body case 4. The suction air is heated by the heating device 5 when the heater is on, and heated when the heater is off. It is blown out to the wind outlet 2 on the front end side without being released.

[0015] In FIG. 4, the nozzle 3 consists of a nozzle body 11 and a rotary lid 12. nozzle book The body 11 has a conical cylinder shape and is press-fitted onto the outer periphery of the air outlet 2 of the dryer body 1. The base 11a has an oval cross section that crosses the cross section of the base 11a in the diametrical direction. a and a long cylindrical portion 11b integrally extending forward from the front portion of the long cylindrical portion 11b. A normally open center nozzle port 13 with an oval cross section is opened on the end face, and the inside of the center nozzle port 13 is opened. Side nozzle ports 14 are opened in a communicating manner at the top and bottom of the base 11a. 6 are opened so as to be located on both left and right sides of the central nozzle opening 13. Inside the always open type As shown in FIG. 1A, the center nozzle opening 13 has a vertical length Y that is It is set longer than the horizontal length X.

[0016] In FIGS. 3 and 4, the rotary lid 12 has an inner surface shape of a conical tube-shaped base 12a. It is formed into a corresponding conical cylindrical shape, and has a slanted wall that fits into the side nozzle port 14. Ventilation holes 15 with matching shapes are opened in opposite directions, and the nozzle is connected to the inner surface of the base 12a. It is slidably and rotatably fitted around the central axis of the main body 11. In this case, ventilation hole 15 Although the opening area appears small from the front (the state shown in Figure 1), as shown in Figure 2, Since it is formed on a sloped wall, it is substantially large. Part of the circumference of the rotary lid 12 is provided with an operation knob 17, and this operation knob 17 is connected to the circle of the base 11a of the nozzle body 11. It is made to protrude to the outside from a groove 18 that is opened in a part of the circumference.

[0017] Hold the operation knob 17 and rotate the rotary lid 12 to ventilate it as shown in FIG. 1(A). At the left and right side open angle position where the hole 15 matches the left and right side nozzle ports 16, the left and right At the same time as the side nozzle ports 16 open, the upper and lower side nozzles in the center nozzle port 13 open. The nozzle opening 14 is closed by a blind wall portion 19 between the ventilation holes 15 of the rotary lid 12. did Therefore, at this time, a flat wind is generated from the center nozzle port 13 and the left and right side nozzle ports 16. Since it blows out sideways to the left and right, it is suitable for setting your hair sideways.

[0018] In this case, the wind from the left and right side nozzle ports 16 does not pass through the center nozzle port 13. Since it is directly discharged to the front, the wind pressure is not obstructed, and a large amount of air is diffused to the front. This means that the nozzle body 11 can be removed from the dryer body 1 without having to remove it. A drying effect can be obtained by the diffused wind.

[0019] In the ventilation hole 15, as shown in FIG. If it is provided parallel to the center axis of the screw, the setting efficiency will be further improved. Also, figure 6, the direction in which the rectifying fins 23 are installed in the ventilation holes 15 obliquely to the nozzle protruding direction. When installed in the opposite direction, a wide-angle diffused wind can be obtained.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1(B), by rotating the rotary lid 12, the ventilation hole 15 is At the vertical open angle position that matches the position of the upper and lower side nozzle ports 14 in the nozzle port 13. At the same time that the upper and lower side nozzle ports 14 in the center nozzle port 13 open, the left and right nozzle ports The side nozzle opening 16 is closed by a blind wall portion 19. Therefore, in this case, the center Flat wind is blown vertically from the nozzle opening 13 and the upper and lower side nozzle openings 14. It is effective for setting hair vertically.

[0021] In addition, in this case, the air blowing area is the central nozzle opening 13 and the side nozzles above and below this. Since the center nozzle port 13 and the size are limited to the center nozzle port 14 explained in FIG. The air flow is smaller than that of the nozzle port 16, and under certain conditions the capacity of the air blower 9 is The speed is fast and the blowing pattern is narrowed to generate concentrated wind, resulting in extremely high setting efficiency. becomes.

[0022] The nozzle body 11 of the above embodiment is a combination of a conical base portion 11a and an elongated cylindrical portion 11b. Because it has a slanted shape, the wind can flow efficiently with little resistance. However, this It is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the base 11a is formed into a cylindrical shape, The rotary lid 12 may also be formed into a cylindrical shape accordingly.

[0023] Further, in the above embodiment, the rotary lid 12 is rotatably mounted on the inner surface of the nozzle body 11. However, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the rotary lid 12 is attached to the outer surface of the nozzle body 11. It can also be mounted rotatably on the side.

[0024] In FIG. 8, the nozzle body 11 has a conical base 11a and a long end toward the tip of the base 11a. The cylindrical portion 11b is formed continuously, and the long axis direction of the long cylindrical portion 11b is formed on the outer periphery of the base 11a. The vertical position corresponds to both ends of the direction, and the left position corresponds to the direction perpendicular to the long axis direction. Side nozzle ports 14 and 16 are opened at the right positions, respectively. On the other hand, the rotary lid 12 It is formed into a conical shape that matches the outer periphery of the base 11a of the slurry body 11, and the outer periphery The nozzle body 11 has an air outlet 22 having a pair of front-open ventilation holes 15 at the front. It is rotatably fitted to the outer periphery of the base portion 11a of. When this happens, turn the rotary cover 12. so that the ventilation holes 15 are aligned with the upper and lower side nozzle ports 14 as shown in FIG. 9(A). In the condition where the ventilation hole 15 is in the vertical and vertical direction, as shown in Fig. 9(B), When aligned with the left and right side nozzle ports 16, flat air can be blown horizontally to the left and right. become.

[0025] In FIG. 10, a cylindrical portion 11c having a smaller diameter extends forward from a cylindrical base portion 11a. A long cylindrical portion 11b is drawn continuously from the tip of this cylindrical portion 11c, and the base portion 1 is drawn. On the straight wall 20 facing forward of 1a, the upper and lower and left and right side nozzle ports 14 and 16 are lengthened. Up and down corresponding to both ends of the cylindrical portion 11b in the longitudinal direction, and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction Opens to the left and right corresponding to the direction. The rotating lid 12 is attached to the base 1 of the nozzle body 11. 1a, and a pair of ventilation holes 15 are formed from the front straight wall 21. A blower outlet 22 is provided protrudingly and inserted into the outer periphery of the long cylindrical portion 11b of the nozzle body 11. It is rotatably fitted to the outer periphery of the base portion 11a. In this case as well, the rotary lid 12 is By rotating it, as shown in Figure 11 (A), you can create flat winds that are oriented vertically or vertically. As shown in FIG. 11(B), the winds can be changed to horizontal and horizontal flat winds.

[0026] In addition, in each example, the two directions, up and down and left and right, refer to changing the blowing direction. This means that there is another size in the middle of the top, bottom, left and right, as shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 8. , by providing a small side nozzle port 16 (14), it can be made three-way. Or, as shown in Figure 12, the side nozzle ports 14 and 16 that are continuous between the top and bottom, left and right sides are It is also possible to sequentially change the opening area.

[0027] The same applies to a case where the nozzle body 11 is rotatably attached to the dryer body 1. The relationship between the two directions (up and down, left and right) is maintained, and the direction and amount of wind can be changed freely. I can do that. In this case, the rotation operating force of the rotary lid 12 of the nozzle body 11 is applied to the nozzle. Set it to be smaller than the rotational operating force between the main body 11 and the dryer main body 1, and prevent it from occurring during use. It would be good to improve the operability.
