The present invention relates to a hair dryer, and more particularly to a hair dryer of the bonnet type.

The hair dryers used for drying hair are hand guns mainly used for men and women's bonnets that can be used by selectively combining various attachments. The term "bonnet" is derived from the use of several connections in a casing with a lid.

This bonnet hair dryer has a configuration as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 1, the hair dryer consists of a body 10 and a plurality of connections 20 that can be selectively coupled to the body 10. The illustrated connection 20 is a brush-like connection is provided with a plurality of comb 30 on one side of the hollow body cp communicated from the main body 10 and the comb 30 An outlet 40 through which air flow is discharged is formed. On the other hand, the main body 10 is provided with a blowing motor (M) for generating airflow, and a heater (H) for heating the airflow generated in the blowing motor (M).

The blower motor (M) and the heater (H) is a cold wind mode (冷 風 mode) for driving only the blower motor (M) to supply the air temperature at room temperature by operating a switch (SW '), such as a slide switch (slide switch), The hot air mode in which both are driven simultaneously to supply a high temperature air stream is selectively operated.

By the way, when drying the hair with such a hair dryer, in particular in the case of hot air drying the hair is not neatly organized, but rather the problem is easily scattered (散髮). The inventors have found that this problem is caused by the following causes. In other words, the hair heated by hot air is in a flexible state that is easily deformed, and thus the hair is easily combed with a joint or a comb. It is thought to be scattered due to flow.

Therefore, it is desirable to fix the hair by setting the hair by combing the hair in a hot air state and supplying cold air immediately in this state to quench the hair. Nevertheless, the user is not only familiar with the hairdressing principle, but even if the user wants to implement it, there is a problem that it is impossible to perform hairdressing by switching the hot wind-cold wind mode by operating a switch (SW ') consisting of a slide switch.

In view of such a conventional problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a hair dryer capable of hair-setting as well as drying of hair by fixing the hair in an orderly state.

In order to achieve the above object, the hair dryer according to the present invention includes a main body including a blower motor and a heater, and a connection selectively coupled to the main body to arrange the user's hair, and to switch the main switch. In the hair dryer operating in the cold wind mode in which only the blower motor is driven and the hot wind mode in which the blower motor and the heater are simultaneously driven, the hair dryer is provided in the connection and detects contact with the user's hair in the hot wind mode. It is characterized in that it comprises a sensing switch for connecting the heater to the power supply only, and a connecting contact for connecting between the sensing switch of the connection and the main switch of the main body.

By this configuration, the hair dryer of the present invention makes a flexible state so that the hot air is generated when combing the hair in the hot wind mode, and the hair is easily combed. Hair-setting function to fix the state of hair trimming.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 2, the hair dryer of the present invention is composed of the main body 10 and the connection 20 as in the prior art. The main body 10 is configured such that the blower motor M and the heater H are selectively connected to a power source through a main switch SW, and the connection 20 is a brush type or a third as shown. Various configurations, such as a comb shape of FIG. (C) (d), are provided and are selectively connected to the main body 10. As shown in FIG. In this basic configuration, the same reference numerals are used for the remaining parts similar to those in the conventional configuration of FIG.

The connection 20 is provided with a detection switch 1 for detecting the contact of the hair according to the features of the present invention, the detection switch 1 is the coupling portion 21, 11 of the connection 20 and the main body 10 It is configured to be connected to the hot air stage (2) of the main switch (SW) by the connection contacts (21a, 11a) provided in the). The remaining terminal 1 of the main switch SW is the cold air stage, and 0 is the OFF stage.

The hair dryer of the present invention by such a configuration makes the following unique operation when the user uses the hot air mode by coupling the connection 20 to the main body 10. That is, when the user combs the hair, the sensing switch 1 detects contact with the hair and connects the heater H to a power source, thereby generating hot air through the outlet 40 of the connection 20, thereby making the hair easy to be trimmed. It is made to be flexible so that the hair is trimmed by the comb (30).

When the next connection 20 is separated from the hair, the detection switch 1 immediately cuts off the power supply of the heater H, and cold air is supplied from the outlet 40. Accordingly, the hair is quenched and fixed in an orderly state.

The sensing switch 1 of the above-described operation can be configured in various ways, and a few examples which the applicant considers preferred are illustrated in FIG. 3.

First, in FIG. 3 (a), the support plate 2 on which the plurality of comb teeth 30 are installed is elastically supported with respect to the housing 22 of the connection 20, and the housing 22 and the support plate 2 are respectively The contacts 1a and 1b are provided. Accordingly, when the hair is combed, the support plate 2 is pushed up against the housing 22 to resist the elastic force and is pushed to form a closed circuit by contacting both the contacts 1a and 1b, thereby supplying hot air. When the hair is not combed, the support plate 2 is elastically restored so that both the contacts 1a and 1b are separated to supply cold air.

Next, in FIG. 3 (b), one comb 31 is elastically supported to be able to enter and exit the housing 22 by a spring S or the like so that one contact 1a 'is connected thereto, and the housing 22 is connected. Corresponding contact 1b 'is also provided. Accordingly, when combing, the comb teeth 31 are pushed up and both contacts 1a and 1b 'are in contact with the hot air, and when the combing ends, the cold air is separated.

Meanwhile, FIG. 3 (c) (d) shows a comb-shaped connection 20 ′. First, in FIG. 3 (c), one comb 32 is rotated with respect to the housing 22. And elastically support so as to be always vertical by a spring S or a torsion spring. An extension part 32a is extended above the rotary shaft 33 of the comb 3 to connect the contacts 1a "on both sides thereof, and different contacts 1b" are respectively provided on both sides of the extension part 32a. It is fixed to the housing 22. Accordingly, when the hair is drawn between the comb 32 and the other comb 31 when combing the hair, the comb 32 is tilted to connect the power to the heater H.

Although not shown separately, in the above embodiments, it is preferable that each of the contacts 1a-1a "and 1b-1b" is coated with a suitable insulator to prevent a risk of electric shock to a user.

Next, FIG. 3D illustrates an example in which a proximity switch 1 'that detects the proximity of the hair or the head is configured as a detection switch. The proximity switch 1 'is composed of, for example, a reflective sensor consisting of a pair of light-emitting and light-receiving elements, a pyroelectric sensor, and the like to detect the proximity or contact of the hair. In addition, an eddy current sensor for detecting the proximity of a user's head, which is a conductor, may be used. As such, when the sensing switch is configured as the proximity switch 1 ', the driving circuit is separately required. However, unlike the above-described three embodiments, since the high voltage is not applied to the direct connection 20', there is no danger to the user. It is possible to construct a safe hair dryer.

In addition, those of ordinary skill in the art will be able to configure a variety of different configuration of the detection switch, any configuration of the technology to selectively connect the power to the heater only when combing the hair to detect the hair in any configuration It is natural to fall within the scope of the present invention.

As shown above, according to the present invention, hot air is generated only when the user combs the hair when operating in the hot air mode, and the hair is trimmed. When the contact with the hair is separated, a cold air is immediately generated to fix the state of the hair by quenching the hair. Let's go. Accordingly, the hair dryer of the present invention can exert the peculiar effect of fixing the hair and its condition as well as drying the hair.
