It is constructed by connecting 4.

Next, the operating state of the bonnet type steamer of the present invention constructed as described above will be explained.

First of all, when using it as a steamer, especially the sixth
As shown in the figure, a predetermined spray liquid is supplied to the liquid supply tank 31, the power plug 111 is connected to a predetermined power source, the power switch 56 of the operation panel 82 is turned on, and the steam large amount operation switch 57 of the mode changeover switch is turned on. Steam small amount operation switch 58
operate. At this time, the light emitting display element 84 of the display device 73 that displays the steamer operation lights up to indicate that the steamer operation is being performed. Then, use the temperature setting switches 62 to 66 to set the temperature to 40°C, 45°C,
Set the temperature to either 50°C and set a predetermined time using the time setting switches 67 and 68 (for example,
For 28 minutes, operate the 5-minute time setting switch 67 5 times and the 1-minute time setting switch 68 3 times.)
do. At this time, if you mistakenly set the temperature to 55℃ (this temperature is only for dryer operation), a beeping alarm will be generated to notify you of an incorrect operation.
Further, the time set by the time setting switches 67 and 68 is displayed on the display window 87 by the digital display element 83 of the display device.

In the above state, the customer's hair section 1 is set in the bonnet 2, and the start switch 70 on the operation panel 82 is operated. Then, the microcomputer circuit 105 controls the steamer to a predetermined state.

That is, the heater 13, the fan motor 4
6. The ultrasonic spray circuits 37 are turned on all at once, and the display window 84 of the operation panel 82 shows the digital display element 83 of the display device 73, counting down the elapsed time every minute while decrementing the elapsed time every second. The display is made, and the room temperature mist 41 generated in the spray liquid tank 30 is supplied to the heater box 12 via the supply hose 47 by the ventilation fan 45.
The steam is heated by the heater 13 of the heater box 12 and supplied into the bonnet 2 through the discharge port 8 of the bonnet ring 6 and the supply path 10. At this time, if the temperature inside the bonnet 2 reaches the set temperature, the microcomputer circuit 105 turns on the heater 1.
The power supply to the heater 13 is stopped, and thereafter the power supply to the heater 13 is controlled intermittently to keep the temperature inside the bonnet 2 constant. Also, music or sound from a speaker 14 is supplied and played inside the bonnet 2 along with steam, making the customers inside the bonnet 2 comfortable. In this case, the volume inside the bonnet 2 is controlled by the variable resistor 72b of the audio switch 72 to suit the customer's preference, and when the customer does not need it, it is turned off by the on/off switch 72a of the audio switch 72. If the customer desires audio or music from a radio, tape recorder, etc., the audio output terminal of the radio, tape recorder, etc. is connected to the connection terminal 74 for use.

When the steamer is in operation, the second shutter 15 is closed because the fan 20 of the blower 16 is stopped, and the steam heated in the heater box 12 is prevented from entering the blower 16. In addition, since the first shutter 11 is open, a part of the steam heated in the heater box flows from the supply path 10 provided corresponding to the nap part 113 of the customer's hair part 1 into the bonnet 2. This compensates for the fact that the hair in the nap part 114 of the hair part 1 is harder than the hair in other parts, making it difficult to produce a treatment effect. Further, other steam is discharged upward from the outlet 8 on the circumferential surface into the bonnet 2, so that it is sprayed uniformly onto each part of the hair part 1, and the steam temperature of the hair part 1 is made uniform throughout. Ru. The drain liquid (water) generated in the heater box 12 is collected in the drain tank 50 through a path 115 shown by the solid line in FIG.

When the above-mentioned predetermined steam operation time ends, the predetermined control signal of the microcomputer circuit 105 is turned off. In this case, in the display window 87 of the operation panel 82, the digital display element 83 of the display device 73 displays zero at the end and the initially set time after a little time has elapsed. This is convenient when entering the treatment time, etc. after a treatment in a beauty chart or the like.

Next, when using it as a dryer, especially the seventh
As shown in the figure, the dryer strong air operation switch 59, the dryer weak air operation switch 60, or the dryer gentle air operation switch 61 of the mode changeover switch is operated. At this time, the light emitting display element 85 of the display device 73 that displays the dryer operation lights up to indicate that the dryer is operating. Then, use the temperature setting switches 62 to 66 to lower the temperature to 40°C. 45℃. 50
℃． Set the temperature to either 55° C. and set a predetermined time using time setting switches 67 and 68. At this time, the time set by the time setting switches 67 and 68 is displayed on the display window 87 by the digital display element 83 of the display device 73.

In the above state, the customer's hair section 1 is set in the bonnet 2, and the start switch 70 on the operation panel 82 is operated. Then, the microcomputer circuit 105 controls the dryer to a predetermined state.

That is, the heater 13, the blower motor 19 of the blower 16, and the fan motor 46 are turned on all at once, and the elapsed time is displayed in the display window 87 of the operation panel 82 by the digital display element 83 of the display device 73. The air is counted down every minute and displayed digitally, and the air blown by the air fan 19 of the air blower 16 is supplied to the heater box 12, which is heated by the heater 13 of the heater box 12 and becomes hot air, which is discharged from the bonnet ring 6. It is supplied into the bonnet 2 from the outlet 8. At this time, when the temperature inside the bonnet 2 reaches a predetermined temperature, the microcomputer circuit 105 stops the power supply to the heater 13, and thereafter the power supply to the heater 13 is controlled intermittently to keep the temperature inside the bonnet 2 constant. dripping Also, music or sound from the speaker 14 is supplied and played inside the bonnet 2 along with hot air, as in the case of using it as a steamer, making the customers inside the bonnet 2 comfortable. In this case, the volume inside the bonnet 2 is controlled by the variable resistor 72b of the audio switch 72 to suit the customer's preference, and if the customer does not want it, the audio volume is controlled by the audio switch 7.
If the customer desires audio or music from a radio, tape recorder, etc., the audio output terminal of the radio, tape recorder, etc. is connected to the connection terminal. It is something to do.

When the dryer is operating, the air blown from the fan 20 of the air blower 16 is much stronger than the air blown from the air blower fan 45, so the first shutter 11 closes the supply path 10. This prevents hot air from being supplied concentratedly to the nap part 114 of the hair part 1 of the customer, thereby preventing unpleasant heat from being imparted, and furthermore, the thermal efficiency of the dryer is improved. In addition, since the hot air is discharged upward from the outlet 8 on the circumferential surface of the bonnet 2, the hot air follows a complicated flow path while following the hair of the customer's hair 1, and is discharged out of the bonnet 2. Therefore, the staying time of the hot air in the bonnet 2, that is, the contact time with the customer's hair 1 is longer, and the drying efficiency can be further improved. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the same drying ability with only half the amount of air blowing as with conventional hair dryers, and because of this low air amount or this complicated flow path, the hair on the customer's hair section 1 is hardly disturbed. Can be dried. Since only a small amount of air is required, or because two fans 20 of the air blower 16 are provided, the operating noise can be reduced, making it easier for customers placed inside the bonnet 2 or other customers in the beauty salon. Or it won't cause any noise to the hairdresser.

Note that since the air in the air supply port 22 of the blower device 16 is limited to the periphery of the heater box 12 or near the rear lower part of the bonnet 2, the air is already considerably preheated at the intake stage, so the thermal efficiency is also low. Extremely good. Furthermore, since the blowing fan 45 is operating, the air blown by the fan 19 of the blowing device 16 does not flow back into the spray liquid tank 30 through the supply hose 47. And audio circuit integrated circuit 11
If the voice synthesis circuit 5 is programmed with, for example, beauty tips, the customer can be kept in a comfortable state without getting bored while the device is in operation, and the noise generated inside the bonnet 2 can be made comfortable. Can be removed.

The bonnet type steamer of the present invention has the following effects by having the above structure.

In the case of steamer operation, because the ultrasonic atomizer and heater are configured, steam at the set temperature can be obtained immediately after operation, eliminating the need for preheating time.Moreover, since the room-temperature mist is heated, the steam The temperature can be precisely controlled to any temperature, and since room-temperature mist is heated, there are no abnormally high temperature parts, making it highly safe, and steam is discharged from various parts around the hood, so it has no steam effect. is uniform in each part. Furthermore, in the case of dryer operation, hot air is blown out from various parts of the circumference inside the bonnet, so thermal efficiency is good and a small amount of air is required.Therefore, the hair on the customer's head is not disturbed and there is little noise.

Since the bonnet-type steamer of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to supply music, audio, etc. together with steam, hot air, etc. to customers located inside the hood and to flow it appropriately. It is possible to broadcast music, audio, etc. only to the customer located inside the hood without using listening equipment such as earphones, and it is possible to eliminate the troublesomeness of using listening equipment such as earphones for the customer, and to provide information to the customer. To enable various treatments to be performed easily and reliably without using a listening device to get in the way during various treatments, and to eliminate discomfort caused by noise generated inside the bonnet by using music, sounds, etc. played inside the bonnet. Moreover, since a device such as a speaker for appropriately transmitting music, sound, etc. inside the bonnet is provided in the supply path for steam, hot air, etc. outside the bonnet, there are no obstructions such as a speaker located inside the bonnet. The space inside the bonnet can be used effectively, and the prescribed treatment can be performed in a comfortable condition for the customer.
