Abstract
The low noise hair dryer includes a hollow housing having a discharge port, an inlet port, and a handle on the lower side; A heating wire installed inside the discharge port side of the housing to receive electricity to heat the air; A blowing fan installed in the housing for sucking outside air and transferring the outside air to the heat line; A controller provided to control the application of power to the hot wire and the motor; A motor connected to the shaft for rotating the rotor to generate driving power; And a transmission connected between the motor and the blowing fan, for increasing the number of rotations of the motor and transmitting the increased number of rotations to the blowing fan. Although the motor of the hair dryer having the transmission has a rotation speed of 1 / 1.5-1 / 10 times lower than that of the conventional hair dryer having the same wind speed, the fan is rotated at the same speed as the conventional hair dryer So that the noise problem can be solved without lowering the wind speed.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Hair dryers are often used in homes and hairdressers by blowing warm wind on wet hair and drying in a short time. In order to shorten the drying time of the hair, the hair dryer should be capable of discharging a sufficient amount of air to some extent. To increase the air discharge amount, the blower fan installed in the hair dryer should be rotated at least 12,000 rpm.
Hair dryers The biggest problem users feel is the stress they receive from the noise generated during the operation of the hair dryer. In order to solve the noise problem, reducing the wind speed of the hair dryer reduces the noise level. In this case, the drying time becomes longer. Therefore, a new method for reducing noise without reducing the wind speed of the hair dryer needs to be devised.
On the other hand, the noise of the hair dryer is caused by the following two factors. First, there is noise due to the air discharge caused by the air moving fast by the blowing fan rubbing against the inner wall and accessories of the hair dryer main body. Second, there is noise generated when physical and electromagnetic vibration generated when the motor rotor rotates at a high speed is transmitted to the body of the hair dryer.
Among these two noises, the noise caused by the vibration of the motor is between 75 ~ 90dB and the noise generated by the air blowing of the blowing fan is 50 ~ 65dB, so that the noise generated by the vibration of the motor is transmitted by the air blowing fan Is significantly greater than the noise generated. In addition, the vibration of the motor increases in proportion to the number of revolutions of the motor.
The structure of the conventional hair dryer is such that the motor and the blowing fan are connected to one shaft and rotate together as shown in Fig. Hair dryer In order to reduce the stress of the user from the noise, it is necessary to reduce the number of revolutions of the motor. If the number of revolutions of the motor is reduced, the wind speed decreases and the drying performance becomes difficult. Accordingly, in order to solve the noise problem of the conventional hair dryer, it is preferable to change the structure in which the motor and the blowing fan are fixedly connected to one shaft.
The transmission is a device that converts the rotational speed or direction of the drive input shaft connected to the motor or the engine and transmits it to the output shaft. The ratio of the input shaft revolution number to the output shaft revolution number is referred to as a transmission ratio. The transmission changes the transmission ratio according to the change of the speed so as to give the different rotational force required when the automobile or the bicycle moves at a low speed or a high speed to efficiently transmit the power.
When the ratio of the motor rotation speed of the hair dryer to the blowing fan rotation speed is referred to as a speed ratio, the speed ratio of the conventional hair dryer in which the motor and the blowing fan are fixed to one shaft is one. For air delivery required for rapid drying of hair, the blower fan of the hair dryer is rotated at least between 12,000 and 20,000 rpm, and the motor is also rotated between 12,000 and 20,000 rpm. The vibration of such a rapidly rotating motor is the main cause of the noise generated by the hair dryer, and such noise must inevitably occur in a conventional hair dryer in which a device such as a transmission is not provided. In addition, a conventional hair dryer in which the speed ratio is 1 has the disadvantage that power consumption is increased because the motor always rotates at a high speed, and the service life of the motor is short. If a car that is not equipped with a transmission is running at high speed, the number of revolutions of the engine increases, resulting in increased noise, poor fuel economy, and shortened engine life.
A method of ensuring sufficient airflow without significantly increasing the number of revolutions of the motor of the hair dryer is to utilize a transmission capable of converting the rotational force and the number of revolutions of the motor to the blower fan. For example, if a transmission (speed ratio = 4) capable of rotating the blowing fan by increasing the number of revolutions of the motor by four times is used, the blowing fan is rotated at 16,000 rpm with a motor rotating at 4,000 rpm, Can be transmitted. Therefore, compared with a conventional hair dryer in which the motor rotates at 16,000 rpm to discharge the same air volume, the vibration and noise of the hair dryer with the transmission is significantly reduced. The transmission also has an effect of reducing the power consumption of the hair dryer by rotating the blowing fan by effectively utilizing the rotational force of the motor, and reducing the load on the motor, thereby extending service life.
A variety of ideas have been proposed, such as the use of sound-absorbing materials to absorb noise to create a low-noise hair dryer, or a method of covering a motor, which is a main cause of noise generation, with a housing. However, it has been insufficient to provide effective noise reduction measures. The present invention is based on the assumption that the noise generated by a conventional hair dryer is caused by a structural cause of a motor and a blowing fan connected to a single shaft. Thus, a transmission, which is already used in many fields such as daily life and industry, And waste of power consumption. The transmission is able to rotate the blowing fan connected thereto at a high speed despite the motor being driven at a relatively low rotational speed to solve the noise problem without deteriorating the wind speed
To reduce the noise generated by conventional hair dryers, reducing the air volume / wind speed increases the drying time of the hair. On the other hand, if the air volume / wind speed is increased to shorten the drying time, the noise increases and the user receives more stress. The main cause of the noise generated by the conventional hair dryer is that the vibration of the motor rotating at high speed is amplified by the sound. The present invention solves the problem of noise of a conventional hair dryer in which a motor and a blowing fan are connected to one shaft and rotates by utilizing a transmission capable of increasing the number of revolutions of the motor and delivering the blowing fan. The transmission is able to rotate the blowing fan connected thereto at a high speed despite the motor being driven at a relatively low rotational speed to solve the noise problem without deteriorating the wind speed
A hair dryer according to the present invention includes: a hollow housing having a discharge port formed on a front side thereof, an inlet port formed on a rear side thereof, and a handle provided on a lower side thereof; A heating wire installed inside the housing discharge port side to receive electricity to heat the air; A blowing fan installed in the housing for sucking outside air and for moving the sucked air in the hot line direction; A controller provided on one surface of the housing handle and adapted to control power supply to the hot wire and the motor; A motor mounted inside the housing and connected to the shaft for rotating the rotor to generate driving power; And a transmission connected between the motor and the blowing fan, for transmitting the power of the motor to the blowing fan.
The transmission converts the number of rotations of the motor and transfers the number of rotations to the blowing fan, thereby increasing the energy efficiency of the motor and increasing the number of rotations of the blowing fan more than the number of rotations of the motor. Preferably, the transmission increases the rotational speed of the blowing fan by 1.5 to 10 times the rotational speed of the motor.
When the rotation speed of the blowing fan rotated when the motor makes one rotation is used as the transmission ratio of the transmission, a hair dryer using a transmission having a transmission ratio of 5 can be designed as follows. For hair dryers where the blower fan is to be rotated at a speed of at least 15,000 rpm to produce the desired wind speed (eg 16 m / s), select a motor with a rotational speed of 3,000 rpm, connect the belt between the motor and the blower fan So as to transmit the power.
On the other hand, in a conventional hair dryer, since a motor and a blowing fan are fixedly connected to a single shaft, a motor having a rotation speed of 15,000 rpm should be used to produce a desired wind speed (for example, 16 m / s). Here, when comparing the noise of the hair dryer, the noise generated by the motor with the rotation speed of 15,000 rpm is more than 15 - 20 dB higher than the noise of the motor with 3,000 rpm. That is, the transmission increases the number of revolutions of the motor, which is operated at a relatively low speed, several times and transmits it to the blowing fan, thereby not only providing the desired wind speed but also significantly reducing the noise. In addition, the transmission can effectively transmit the rotational force of the motor to the blower fan, thereby reducing power consumption and reducing the load on the motor, thereby extending service life.
The transmission may employ a method in which a plurality of rotary gears having teeth are meshed with each other to transmit power or a chain is hooked to the teeth of the rotating body to transmit rotational motion. However, in order to reduce noise, A pulley type transmission is preferred.
Accordingly, the transmission of the present invention comprises a motor pulley fixed to the shaft of the motor; A blowing fan pulley fixed to an axis of the blowing fan; And a belt mounted in contact with the motor pulley and the blower fan pulley to transmit the rotational force of the motor to the blower fan. The motor should have a speed between 2,000 - 8,000 rpm and the motor pulley should be between 8 - 27cm. It is also preferable that the material of the belt is rubber, which is the main component, to reduce the vibration generated in the blowing fan and the motor.
The motor of the hair dryer having the transmission is capable of rotating the blowing fan at the same speed as that of the conventional hair dryer even though the rotation speed is 2 to 10 times slower than that of the conventional hair dryer which produces the same wind speed, The noise problem can be solved without degradation.
The low noise hair dryer according to the present invention has the following effects.
First, the present invention provides a hair dryer in which noise is reduced compared to a conventional hair dryer by utilizing a transmission capable of increasing the number of revolutions of the motor and transmitting the blower fan. That is, the motor used in the hair dryer of the present invention rotates at a much lower speed than a motor installed in a conventional hair dryer having the same air volume / wind speed, so that vibration and noise are small.
Second, the transmission can effectively transfer the rotational force of the motor to the blower fan, thereby reducing power consumption and reducing the load on the motor, thereby extending service life.
Third, the transmission is offset by the vibration generated by the motor and the blowing fan rotating at different rotational speeds, resulting in reduced noise.
