Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the hair drier which can dry quickly hair without heating it uselessly by providing a dehumidifying means between a fan of a case and an air blowing part. CONSTITUTION:Between a blowout port 3 of a case 1 and a heater 8, a dehumidifying means 9 consisting of, for instance, asbestos which is impregnated with a moisture absorbent of, for instance, silica gel, etc., is prodded. Its cross section shape has a shape formed by superposing concentrically corrugated cardboard in many layers. Air sucked from an air suction port 2 by a fan 5 passes through this dehumidifying means 9 and is blown out of a nozzle 4 through the air blowout port 3, and in a process in which air passes through the dehumidifying means 9, moisture is dehumidified by a moisture absorbent of silica gel, etc., impregnated in asbestos of the dehumidifying means 9. Accordingly, hair can be dried without heating uselessly air by the heater 8.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair dryer, and more particularly to a novel hair dryer capable of drying hair without unnecessarily heating the hair.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a hair dryer has a fan at the rear of the case, a heater is provided in front of the fan, and hot air is blown out from an air outlet in the body. This may be in the form of a hand dryer for men or a rolled brush dryer for women.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional hair dryers dry hair by blowing hot air, which has caused the problem that the hair is damaged by the heat. That is, it is easier to condition hair by applying moisture to the hair and then drying it while conditioning it.Also, when you wash your hair in the bath, you want to dry it quickly after getting out of the bath. Hair dryers used to dry hair have conventionally been designed to blow hot air onto the hair. This was also the case with salon dryer-style hair dryers installed in beauty salons. As a result, a problem arose in that the hair gradually became damaged. Recently, there are many young bald people, and there are also many women who are bald, which is thought to be due to increased stress and westernized eating habits. It is believed that one of the reasons for this is that the frequency of drying hair with a hair dryer has increased, and hair damage caused by hair dryers is a problem that cannot be overlooked.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel hair dryer that can quickly dry hair without unnecessarily heating the hair.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The hair dryer of the present invention is characterized in that a dehumidifying means is provided between the fan of the case and the air blowing section.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The hair dryer of the present invention will be explained in detail below according to the illustrated embodiments. 1 to 3 show one embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a hand dryer-type hair dryer. FIG. 1 is a sectional view, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line, and FIG. 3 is a partially cutaway perspective view. In the figure, 1 is a case, 2 is an air inlet formed at the rear end of the case 1, 3 is an air outlet at the front end of the case, and 4 is a nozzle attached to the air outlet.

[0007] Reference numeral 5 denotes a fan, which is arranged slightly in front of the air suction port. 6 is a motor that rotates the fan;
Reference numeral 7 denotes a sound absorbing material placed at a certain distance around the outer periphery of the fan, and is made of, for example, glass wool. In this embodiment, in order to arrange the sound absorbing material 7, the diameter of the case in that part is made larger than that in other parts. However, if a fan having a smaller diameter than the case diameter is used, it is not necessary to locally increase the outer diameter of the case. The reason why the sound absorbing material 7 is provided in the case 1 in this way is to further reduce the noise generated by the rotation of the fan 5. Of course, this is not necessarily necessary if the original noise of the fan is low.

A heater 8 is provided in front of the motor 6 to heat the air. The heater 8
In the present invention, the original role is not to heat the hair, but to dry the dehumidifying means (9) described below. This point will be discussed in detail later.

9 is the air outlet 3 of the case 1 and the heater 8
A dehumidifying means provided between the dehumidifier and the dehumidifier, which is made of, for example, asbestos impregnated with a moisture absorbent such as silica gel, and has a cross-sectional shape of many layers of corrugated cardboard stacked concentrically as shown in Figure 2. . Air sucked in from the air suction port 5 by the fan 5 passes through the dehumidifying means 9, passes through the air outlet 3, and is blown out from the nozzle 4. Moisture is removed by a moisture absorbent such as silica gel impregnated into the asbestos of means 9. Therefore, the hair can be dried without needlessly heating the air with the heater 8. Incidentally, impregnation of silica gel into asbestos can be easily carried out by liquefying silica gel, applying it to the asbestos, and then drying it.

Next, how to use this hair dryer will be explained. Before starting to dry hair, this hair dryer is turned on and the heater is turned on to dry the dehumidifying means 9 for a while. This is done in advance to increase the dehumidification effect since the dehumidification effect will be weak if the dehumidification means 9 absorbs a lot of moisture. After that, the heater 8 is switched off and the hair begins to be dried with air. Then, the temperature of the air blown out from the hair dryer gradually decreases, but since the moisture has been removed by the dehumidifying means 9, it works to dry the hair. Therefore, hair can be dried. And since the temperature of the air used to dry the hair is low, it is possible to dry the hair without damaging it.

Of course, there may be cases where hair is dried without turning off the heater 8. In this case, the hot air hits the hair as in the conventional case, but since the hot air has passed through the dehumidifying means 9 to remove moisture, the effect of drying the hair is greater than in the conventional case. Therefore, the hair can be dried quickly, and the time for applying hot air to the hair can be shortened. Therefore, the degree of damage to hair is reduced compared to conventional methods. Furthermore, based on the idea that it is not good to blow hot air onto your hair even for a short period of time, the wattage of the heater 8 may be set to a low value, that is, to a value that is low enough not to damage the hair. good. In this way, there is no risk of damaging your hair no matter how you use the hair dryer.

[0012] In the above embodiment, the present invention was applied to a hand dryer type hair dryer.
The present invention is not limited thereto, and can be applied to a rolled brush-shaped hair dryer for women as shown in FIG. 4, as well as a salon-type hair dryer used in beauty salons etc. It can also be applied to

[Effects of the Invention] The hair dryer of the present invention is characterized in that a dehumidifying means is provided between the fan of the case and the air blowing section. Therefore, according to the hair dryer of the present invention, the air can be dehumidified by the dehumidifying means and the dehumidified air can be blown onto the hair to dry the hair. Can be dried. Therefore, you can dry your hair without damaging it.
