Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a steam-type hair curler.

[Background technology]

Previously, as a hair curling device
There is a steam type iron as shown in the publication, but this has the following drawbacks. That is, the water storage tank is located at the tip of the hair winding drum, so the amount of water stored is small, and since it is heated only by the heater installed in the hair winding drum, the capacity of the heater is small, making it difficult to increase the amount of steam generated. The effect of preventing hair dryness (that is, preventing hair damage) and curling power were not satisfactory. Furthermore, when generating steam to condition hair, the tip must be pressed continuously, making the user's arm tired and inconvenient to use. In addition, the amount of steam tends to fluctuate depending on how much force the user applies with the tip, making it unstable.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a hair curler in which the contact state between a heater and a tank is stable, and steam generation can be stabilized.

[Disclosure of the invention]

In the hair curler of the present invention, a heater section, a tank, and a rotary connector are arranged in a straight line, a fill spring is provided between the tank and the connector for pushing the tank toward the heater section, and a BE A coil spring fall prevention member is provided that fits on the inner periphery of one side of the coil spring.

Since the heater part and the tank can always be pressed together with a constant load by the action of the coil spring, the amount of steam is stabilized. Also, on the inner circumference of one side of the coil spring.

Since a fitting coil spring fall prevention member is provided, the deflection shape of the coil spring is stabilized, and the pressure applied to the tank can be stabilized. Therefore, the amount of steam generated becomes more stable.

Embodiment As shown in FIG. 3, this hair curler has a main body A that has a built-in steam generation mechanism and a heating pipe 31 at the tip.
and two attachment-type hair winding cylinders B and C that are detachably attached to the heating pipe 31 and can be expanded. One hair winding body B serves as a curling brush, and the other hair winding body C serves as a finishing brush.

The details of the configuration will be explained with reference to the overall internal structure diagram in FIG. 1
2 is a casing, and 2 is a lid f that opens and closes when the water storage tank 130 is attached or removed. The casing 1 and lid 2 form the exterior of the main body. There is a heat shield cylinder 33 inside the casing 1.
are mated. The heat shield cylinder 33 is made of an aluminum cylinder and is provided around the heater 9 and around the water storage tank 13. Two transparent display chambers are formed in the lid 2 to confirm the amount of water in the water storage tank 1.3.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a switch operation plate, which is connected to a power switch 5 provided at the rear with a lever 4, so that it can be turned on and off. 8 is a rotary connector provided at the base of the power cord. The reason why the power switch 5 is provided at the rear, that is, in the non-heated part on the tank side, is that if it is provided directly below the switch operation board 3, the distance to the heater 9 will be shortened, the temperature of the switch 5 itself will rise excessively, and the casing 1 This is because it becomes a factor that inhibits the temperature adjustment of the portion of the outer surface that serves as the grip. Furthermore, if the switch operation board 3 is provided at the rear, that is, directly above the switch 5, there is a problem that it is difficult to turn on and off the switch.However, by distributing the switches in this embodiment, it is easy to use and The temperature of the grip part can be made appropriate.

11 is a hot plate for vaporizing water and turning it into steam.

A first heater 9 made of a PTC heater or the like is attached to both surfaces so as to heat them. The outer periphery of the first heater 9 is covered with a heater case 10 to prevent water from entering. The heater 9 and the hot plate 11 constitute a heater section. Water storage tank 13.

It is composed of a tank body 13A and a tank lid 13B. The tank lid 13B is provided with a water absorbing body 14 for bringing water into contact with the hot plate 11, and an internal pressure regulating valve 15 for stabilizing the amount of steam by stabilizing the internal pressure of the tank. The rear end of the water storage tank 13 is connected to the coil through the pressure plate 6.
It is pressed by screw 7.

A portion of the coil spring 7 on the rotary connector 8 side is fitted onto a fill spring fall prevention member 71 having a cylindrical shape with a bottom. The coil fall prevention member 71ti is fitted onto a part of the rotary connector 8 in a watertight manner and covers the live parts 81 and 8b of the one-rotation connector 8. The tip of the water storage tank 13 is fitted to one end of the heater case 10 via a sealing 38, and is fitted into the inner periphery of the nine cylindrical portion 10 so as to be slidable in the axial direction.
1, steam is generated. The heating plate 11 is provided with a cavity 11& that allows the generated steam to pass through, and the empty JIF! 11
A heating pipe 31 is connected to the steam nostle 12 that communicates with 1B.
is connected.

Next, the internal structure of the heating pipe 31 will be explained.

A second heater 25 made of a PTC heater or the like is press-fitted into the heating pipe 31, and a companion heater pipe 2G is press-fitted therein to constantly heat the heating pipe 3.

The second heater 25 is for preventing condensation of steam within the heating pipe 31.

Explain how to use the operation. To perform curling, first push in the operator 29 to generate steam.

Then, while generating steam (continuous generation), wrap the hair wrapping body B around the hair. When the winding is finished, the operator 29
Press to stop steam generation and wait for about 10 seconds. This allows it to dry naturally. After this, the hair winding cylinder B is rewound to complete the curling.

Explain the generation and stopping of steam, etc.

As shown in FIG. 1, the water absorbing body 14 contacts the hot plate 11 and steam is generated. The generated steam passes through the cavity 11B in the hot plate 11, passes through the steam nozzle 12, passes through the heating pipe 31, passes through the steam dispersion felt 65, and is discharged from the discharge hole 24 of the hair winding cylinder B, in addition to the hair. It will be done.

The second heater 25 inside the heating pipe 31 constantly heats the heating pipe 31 and prevents the steam passing through the heating pipe 31 from condensing. Moreover, since the hair winding cylinder B is fitted to the outer periphery of the heating pipe 31, the hair winding cylinder B is also heated, and therefore dew condensation inside the hair winding cylinder B is also prevented.

The generation of steam is stopped by separating the water absorbing body 14 and the hot plate 11 as shown in FIG. That is, when the operator 29 is pushed in, the lever 19. Lever 18. Lever 17
The force is transmitted sequentially, and finally the tip of the lever 17
By pushing in one end of the tank lid 13B, the hot plate 11 and the water absorbing body 14 are separated, and the generation of steam is stopped.

Since the water storage tank 13 is pressed against the hot plate 11 of the heater section by the ice and coil spring 7 operating in this way, the hot plate 1
1 and the water absorbent body 14 can always be pressed with a constant load, and the stability of the amount of steam can be improved. Moreover, since the coil spring 7 is fitted into the coil spring collapse prevention member 71, the deflection shape is stabilized, and the pressure applied to the water storage tank 13 can be stabilized. Therefore, the amount of steam generated is further stabilized. Also, in this example.

Since the coil spring fall prevention part 71 is shaped like a cylinder with a bottom and is fitted onto the rotary connector 8, the above-mentioned spring pressure can be stabilized.
This allows the rotary connector 8 to have two functions, including waterproofing, at the same time.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment. In this example, a coil spring fall prevention portion 71' that fits inside the coil spring 7 is formed integrally with the pressure plate 6, and a waterproof connector cover 72 is placed over the rotary connector 8. The other configurations are similar to the first embodiment. Even in the case of this configuration, there are four (or more) results similar to those of the first embodiment.

[Efficacy of invention]

The hair curling device invented by , has the effect of stabilizing the contact between the heater and the cook, and stabilizing the generation of steam.
