Hereinafter, a hair care apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a hair care device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing a shampoo cap, a combing part, a jetting part, and a massage part of a hair care device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the hair care apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 110, a jetting unit 130, a massage unit 150, and a combing unit 170.

The housing 110 is formed with an inner space opened upward. That is, the housing 110 is formed as a pot-shaped port, and the user can lie down to place the hair at the entrance of the inner space, thereby dragging the hair 10 into the inner space.

A shampoo cap 120 may be provided at the entrance of the inner space. The shampoo cap 120 is brought into close contact with the user's head so that the face portion is located outside the housing 110 when the user lies down to place the head at the entrance of the interior space, That is, the inner space of the user's body, that is, the inner space, water or shampoo or the like can be prevented from splashing onto the user's face or the outside. For this purpose, the shampoo cap 120 may be formed of a material having elasticity to increase the adhesiveness, and the incision part may be formed on the head of various users.

The inner space is provided with a jetting part 130 which is installed so as to be movable upward and downward along the height of the inner circumferential surface of the housing 110. The jetting part 130 is formed in a ring shape, and the hair 10 is positioned inside, and a flow path through which the fluid flows is formed inside the jetting part 130. A plurality of jetting nozzles 132 are formed in the jetting unit 130 to communicate with the flow channel and to jet the fluid toward the center, that is, the hair 10. As will be described below, the fluid may be any one of water, shampoo, air, essence, and perfume.

The supply unit 132 may supply one of water, shampoo, air, essence, and perfume to the jetting unit 130. More specifically, the supply portion 132 includes a water storage space 142, a shampoo storage space 144, a compressor 146 for supplying compressed air, an essence storage space 148, and a perfume storage space (not shown) do. Shampoo, air, essence, and perfume can be supplied to the sprayer 130 according to the predetermined order and time.

The massage unit 150 is provided in the inner space so as to be movable in the upward and downward directions and massage the user's scalp by rotation or vibration. The massage unit 150 may be located at the center of the inner space and may move upward and downward to closely contact the user's scalp.

The massaging unit 150 may be provided to move the massage unit 150 in the upward and downward directions and to vibrate the massage unit 150 or rotate the massage unit 150, The user can massage the user's scalp by rotating or vibrating up to the scalp. The massage unit 150 includes a plurality of protrusions 152 formed of a material having elasticity to massage the scalp so that the user can feel cool and at the same time prevent the scalp from being damaged.

The massage unit 150 may be provided with a plurality of spray holes connected to the supply unit 132 and spraying any one of water, shampoo, air, essence, and perfume according to the operation of the supply unit 132. Thus, water, shampoo, air, essence, perfume can be sprayed not only on the side of the hair 10 but also on the bottom of the hair 10.

A combing portion 170 is provided in the inner space so as to be movable upward and downward along the height of the inner circumferential surface of the housing 110. The combing part 170 is formed in a ring shape, and the hair 10 is positioned inside, and a plurality of comb teeth 172 protruding inward are provided. Thereby, the hair 10 can be combed according to the movement.

Although not shown in the drawings, a static electricity generator (not shown) for aligning the hair 10 using static electricity after drying the hair 10 and before combing can be provided. The static electricity generating unit (not shown) can align the hair 10 by using the same principle as when the hair clipper is placed on the hair by rubbing the hair clipper on the clothes.

The jetting section 130 and the combing section 170 can be moved up and down by the up-and-down moving section 180. [ For example, the upper and lower coaxial portions 180 are engaged with one side of the rotating driving sprocket 182, the driven sprocket 184, the jetting portion 130 and the combing portion 170, and the driving sprocket 182 and the driven sprocket And a motor 188 mechanically connected to the drive sprocket 182 to rotate the drive sprocket 182 in a forward or reverse direction at a predetermined angle. However, the upper and lower coaxial portions 180 are not limited to the above-described structure, and any structure can be applied as long as the jetting portion 130 and the combing portion 170 can move upward and downward.

A heating element 190 for drying the hair 10 may be provided inside the housing 110. For example, the inner surface of the housing 110 may be coated with the heating element 190. Thus, when the hair 10 is dried by spraying the air through the jetting unit 130, the temperature of the inner space can be raised by the heating body 190, so that the moisture of the hair 10 can be evaporated more quickly.

Meanwhile, the hair care device of the present embodiment may further include a bed part 200 that provides a space for a user to lie down on. The bed part 200 may be combined with the hair care device of the present embodiment by assembly, or may be provided with a separate bed part in the form of a sunbath.

Thus, the configuration of the hair care device according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described.

Hereinafter, the operation of the hair care device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The user may first sit or lie in a state in which the hair is placed in the shampoo cap 120 provided at the entrance of the inner space and the hair 10 is received in the inner space of the housing 110.

When the shampoo cap 120 is brought into close contact with the head and the preparation is completed, the operation of the hair care apparatus of this embodiment can be started by pressing the button.

First, water may be sprayed to the user's hair 10 through the jetting unit 130 and the massage unit 150 to wet the hair 10 of the user. For this purpose, water may be supplied to the jetting unit 130 and the massage unit 150 from the water storage space 142 of the supply unit 132.

The jetting unit 130 and the massage unit 150 may spray water to the hair 10 for a predetermined period of time and then spray the shampoo to the hair 10. To this end, the shampoo may be supplied from the shampoo storage space 144 of the supply unit 132 to the jetting unit 130 and the massage unit 150.

After the spraying of a certain amount of shampoo is finished, the massage unit 150 rises to the user's scalp and vibrates and rotates, so that the user's scalp can be massaged and cleaned. When the scalp is cleaned, water is sprayed through the sprayer 130 and the massage unit 150 for a certain period of time, so that the shampoo can be washed away.

When the shampoo is completely washed by the water, the compressor 146 is operated and air is supplied to the jetting unit 130, whereby the hair 10 can be dried. At this time, the heating elements 190 are operated together to increase the drying speed of the hair 10.

When the hair 10 is dried by air jetting for a certain period of time, the static electricity generating unit is operated to align the hair 10 downwardly. Then, in a state where the hair 10 is aligned, the combing part 170 is driven to bend the hair 10 downward, so that the arrangement of the hair 10 can be completed.

When the hair 10 has been trimmed, the supply unit 132 may supply essence and perfume to the sprayer 130 from the essence storage space 148 and the perfume storage space (not shown) in order to spray the hair 10 .

Thus, the user can complete the process from washing the hair 10 to drying, arranging, essence, and perfume application just by laying his head on the hair care device of this embodiment. Therefore, the hair of the handicapped and the elderly can be easily rolled, and it is easy to use at home, so that the general public can easily care for the hair 10.
