Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same symbols are assigned to the same components. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof are not repeated.

<First Embodiment> In this embodiment, an explanation will be given by taking a hair care device for carrying (wireless) as an example. However, the hair care device of the present invention is not limited to wireless. The hair care device 1 according to this embodiment has a function of a hair dryer and a function of combing. The hair care device 1 according to this embodiment is used not only for the purpose of combing hair and drying it, but also for the purpose of massaging hair and the scalp. Therefore, the hair care device of this embodiment is one type of hair dryer and also one type of scalp care device.

(Appearance Structure of Hair Care Device) First, the appearance structure of the hair care device 1 according to this embodiment will be described using FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the hair care device 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the hair care device 1 mainly includes a brush portion 2 and a grip portion 3. The outer shape of the hair care device 1 is constituted by a substantially cylindrical case 10 (see FIG. 5). In this embodiment, the brush portion 2 and the grip portion 3 have an integrated structure. However, in another aspect of the present invention, it is possible to have a structure in which the brush portion 2 can be removed from the grip portion 3. Moreover, when the brush part 2 is removable, a brush body (for example, a curling comb) different in shape from the brush part 2 can be attached to the holding part 3.

In this specification, for convenience of explanation, the end portion on the side where the brush portion 2 is provided is referred to as the upper end portion of the hair care device 1 along the longitudinal direction of the substantially columnar hair care device 1, and the grip portion 3 is not provided. The end on the side is called the lower end of the hair care device 1.

The brush portion 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped body portion. Then, one side surface of the main body portion becomes a hair-planting surface (a protruding upright installation surface). A hair-like member (rod-like member) 12, a first protrusion forming portion 21, a second protrusion forming portion 31a, 31b, and air outlets 41a, 41b, and the like are provided on the hair-planting surface of the brush portion 2.

The grip portion 3 has a substantially columnar outer shape. In this embodiment, the gripping portion 3 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. However, in other configuration examples, the grip portion 3 may have a substantially cylindrical shape.

An air suction port (not shown) is provided in the grip portion 3. The suction port is provided, for example, at a lower end portion of the gripping portion 3.

An operation portion 76 (not shown in FIG. 1) is provided on one side of the grip portion 3. When the hair care device 1 is used, the user operates the operation unit 76 to start or stop the hair care device 1. In addition, the type (warm air / cold air) of the wind blown from the air outlets 41a and 41b, the amount of air, and the like are adjusted by operating the operation section.

The hair care device 1 according to this embodiment is wireless. Therefore, a battery (not shown) is provided inside the holding portion 3. In the case of a wired hair care device, for example, a power cord is provided at the lower end portion of the grip 3.

(Specific Structure of Brush Section) Next, a more specific structure of the brush section 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the hair care device 1 viewed from the hair-planting surface side. FIG. 3 is a side view of the hair care device 1 as viewed from the upper end side of the brush portion 2.

As described above, the brush portion 2 is provided with a hair-like member (rod-like member) 12, a first protrusion forming portion 21, a second protrusion forming portion 31a, 31b, and air outlets 41a, 41b, and the like.

The hair-like member 12 is provided substantially upright from the hair-planting surface. In this embodiment, a plurality of hair-like members 12 are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the hair care device 1, and the first brush body forming portion 11a and the second brush body forming portion 11b are respectively formed (see FIG. 2). . The first brush body forming portion 11a and the second brush body forming portion 11b are arranged substantially parallel to each other.

The hair-like member 12 is formed of, for example, a flexible resin material. Each hair-like member 12 may be composed of a plurality of hairs having a small diameter, or may be composed of a hair having a relatively large diameter. When the hair care device 1 is used, the hair-like member 12 is mainly used for combing hair.

A plurality of first protrusions 22 are arranged on the first protrusion forming portion 21. The plurality of first protrusions 22 are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the hair care device 1 (see FIG. 2). In this embodiment, the first protrusion forming portion 21 formed by arranging the first protrusions 22 in a row is located at a substantially central portion in the short-side direction of the hair-planting surface of the brush portion 2.

The first protrusion 22 has a quadrangular plate (flat plate) shape. The plate-like first protrusions 22 are arranged substantially parallel to each other (see FIG. 2).

More specifically, the long-side direction of each flat-shaped first protrusion 22 is arranged along the short-side direction of the brush portion 2. Then, the second protrusions 32 are arranged on both sides of the first protrusion 22 along the short-side direction of the brush portion 2. Further, the hair-like member 12 is arranged outside the array of the second protrusions 32 along the short-side direction of the brush portion 2.

In this embodiment, the first protrusions 22 and the second protrusions 32 arranged in a row on the second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b are staggered from each other in the short-side direction of the brush portion 2. Placement (see Figure 2). That is, when the hair care device 1 is viewed from the side in the longitudinal direction, the first protrusion 22 is disposed so that the first protrusion 22 is located between two second protrusions 32 adjacently arranged in the second protrusion forming portion 31a or 31b. A protrusion 22 and a second protrusion 32. The hair-like members 12 and the second protrusions 32 arranged in a row on the second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b are arranged in a positional relationship such that they are offset from each other in the short-side direction of the brush portion 2. (Refer to Figure 2).

However, the arrangement positions of the first protrusions 22, the second protrusions 32, and the hair-like members 12 are not limited to those described above. For example, in another aspect of the present invention, when the hair care device 1 is viewed from the side in the longitudinal direction, each of the first protrusions 22, each of the second protrusions 32, and each of the hair-like members 12 may be all Arranged in the same way. Alternatively, the interval between adjacent first protrusions 22, the interval between adjacent second protrusions 32, and the interval between adjacent hairy members 12 may all be different.

Moreover, compared with the hair-like member 12 and the 2nd protrusion 32, the height of the 1st protrusion 22 from the hair implantation surface is the lowest (refer FIG. 3).

In this way, since the height of the first protrusion 22 from the hair-planting surface is the lowest compared to other protrusions, it is possible to avoid the first protrusion 22 from contacting the scalp when the hair care device 1 is used. In other words, the height of the first protrusion 22 from the hair-implantation surface may be set so that the first protrusion 22 is difficult to contact the scalp. As described later, in order to make hair styling easier when the hair care device 1 is used, the first protrusions 22 are preferably heated to a temperature of about 100 ° C or higher. Since the height of the first protrusion 22 is lower than the height of the second protrusion 32, the high-temperature first protrusion 22 can be prevented from coming into contact with the scalp.

In the arrangement of the first protrusions 22, the first protrusions 22 located at both ends in the longitudinal direction are preferably arranged closer to the center than the second protrusions 32 located at both ends in the longitudinal direction in the arrangement of the second protrusions 32. . As a result, a structure in which the first protrusion 22 is more difficult to contact the scalp can be achieved.

The first protrusion 22 is formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than the hair-like member 12 (for example, a material having a thermal conductivity of 10 W / (m · K) or more). Examples of such a material include metal materials (including alloy materials) such as iron, nickel, titanium, stainless steel, and copper, mineral materials such as diamond, and ceramic materials such as ceramics. The first protrusion 22 may be formed of a silicon resin having a high thermal conductivity.

A plurality of second protrusions 32 are arranged on the second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b. The plurality of second protrusions 32 are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the hair care device 1, and the second protrusion forming portions 31 a and the second protrusion forming portions 31 b are respectively formed (see FIG. 2). In the present embodiment, one second protrusion forming portion 31 a is arranged substantially parallel to the other second protrusion forming portion 31 b with the first protrusion forming portion 21 interposed therebetween.

The second protrusion 32 has a rod-like shape. The height of the second protrusion 32 from the hair-implanted surface is the highest compared to the hair-like member 12 and the first protrusion 22 (see FIG. 3).

This makes it possible to easily contact the distal end portion of the second protrusion 32 with the treatment site such as the scalp during use of the hair care device 1. Here, the treatment site refers to a part of the user's head (specifically, the scalp, etc.), and is a place where the hair care device 1 is used for massaging or stimulation. On the other hand, since the first protrusion 22 has a structure lower in height than the second protrusion 32, it is possible to easily avoid contact with the treatment site such as the scalp when the hair care device 1 is used. Moreover, since the hair-like member 12 has a height in the middle of the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 32, it is possible to reduce the possibility of contact with the scalp during use of the hair care device 1, and make the hair combable distance.

The second protrusion 32 is formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than the hair-like member 12 (for example, a material having a thermal conductivity of 10 W / (m · K) or more). Examples of such a material include metal materials (including alloy materials) such as iron, nickel, titanium, stainless steel, and copper, mineral materials such as diamond, and ceramic materials such as ceramics. The second protrusion 32 may be formed of the same material as the first protrusion 22 or may be formed of a different material. In addition, as described later, the temperature of the second protrusion 32 is adjusted to be lower than that of the first protrusion 22.

The air outlets 41a and 41b blow out the wind and ions generated in the holding portion 3 to the outside. The air outlets 41a and 41b are arranged along both ends in the short-side direction of the hair-planting surface.

As described above, in this embodiment, the first protrusion forming portion 21, each of the second protrusion forming portions 31a and 31b, and the first brush body forming portion 11a are arranged substantially parallel to the long side direction of the hair-implanted surface of the brush portion 2. , The second brush body forming portion 11b, and the blowout ports 41a and 41b. Further, the air outlet 41a and the air outlet 41b are disposed at both ends in the short-side direction of the hair-planting surface, and between them, a first protrusion forming portion 21, each second protrusion forming portions 31a and 31b, and a first brush body are formed. And a second brush body forming portion 11b. Further, between the first brush body forming portion 11a and the second brush body forming portion 11b, a first protrusion forming portion 21 and each second protrusion forming portion 31a and 31b are arranged.

The arrangement of the first protrusion forming portion 21, each of the second protrusion forming portions 31a and 31b, the first brush body forming portion 11a, the second brush body forming portion 11b, and the blowout ports 41a and 41b is not limited. On the above. In one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to have a structure as follows.

For example, on both sides of the first protrusion forming portion 21 in which the first protrusions 22 are arranged in a row, the second protrusion forming portions 31 a in which the second protrusions 33 are arranged in a plurality of rows (for example, two rows) and Construction of 31b. That is, a row of the second protrusions 32 having a total of four or more rows may be provided on the hair-planting surface. In the case of such a structure, the hair-like member 12 is preferably the same as the present embodiment, and is preferably provided on both outer sides of the second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b in the short-side direction of the brush portion 2.

As still another structure, a structure in which the first protrusions 22 are provided in a plurality of rows on the hair-planting surface may be used. Specifically, two rows of the second protrusion 32, the first protrusion 22, the second protrusion 32, the first protrusion 22, and the second protrusion 32 may be provided along the short side direction of the brush portion 2. The structure of the first protrusion 22 and the three rows of second protrusions 32. That is, a structure in which the rows of the second protrusions 32 are located at both ends in the short-side direction, and the rows of the first protrusions 22 and the rows of the second protrusions 32 are alternately arranged therebetween. In addition, in the case of such a structure, the hair-like member 12 is the same as this embodiment, and it is preferable that it is provided on both sides of the second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b closer to the outer side than the short side direction of the brush portion 2.

In this embodiment, a structure in which the blowout port 41a and the blowout port 41b are provided only at both ends in the short-side direction of the hair-planting surface is taken as an example. However, in one aspect of the present invention, the blowout port may be provided at a position other than both end portions of the hair-planting surface.

(Internal Structure of Brush Portion) Next, the internal structure of the brush portion 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional structure of the A-A line portion of the brush portion 2 shown in FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, the outer shape of the brush portion 2 and a part of the hair-planting surface are formed by the casing 10. The case 10 is formed of a resin material such as plastic having relatively rigidity.

The first protrusion forming portion 21 having the first protrusion 22 is supported by the case 10. Therefore, when the hair care device 1 is used, the first protrusion 22 is fixed without changing the approximate position with respect to the hair transplanting surface.

On the other hand, the second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b having the second protrusion 32 are formed of the elastic member 35. Thereby, the second protrusion 32 is supported by the elastic member 35. Therefore, when the hair care device 1 is used, the second protrusion 32 can be slightly changed in position relative to the hair-planting surface. Thereby, the tactile sensation when the second protrusion 32 touches an operation site such as the scalp is softened, and the comfort during use can be improved. The elastic member 35 may be formed of a resin material having elasticity such as polypropylene (PP) or polystyrene (PS).

The hair-like member 12 is arranged so as to be buried in the case 10. In addition, the air outlets 41 a and 41 b are formed by the opening of the casing 10.

The first protrusion forming portion 21 is provided with a first heater (first heating portion) 73 and a heat conductive member 25. The first heater 73 becomes a heat source for heating the first protrusion 22. The thermally conductive member 25 is disposed between the first heater 73 and the first protrusion 22. The heat generated by the first heater 73 is transmitted to the first protrusion 22 through the heat conductive member 25. The heat conductive member 25 is formed of a material having a high thermal conductivity (for example, 10 W / (m · K) or more). In addition, the first protrusion 22 and the heat conductive member 25 may be formed of different materials, or may be formed of the same material. The first protrusion 22 and the heat conducting member 25 may be integrally formed.

The second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b are provided with a second heater 74 (second heating portion). The second heater 74 becomes a heat source for heating the second protrusion 32.

(Internal Structure of Hair Care Device and Temperature Control of Each Protrusion) Next, the internal structure of the hair care device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. Fig. 5 shows a cross-sectional structure of a part B-B of the hair care device 1 shown in Fig. 2. FIG. 6 shows the internal structure of the hair care device 1.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the hair care device 1 includes a control section 71, a warm air generating section 72, a first heater (first heating section) 73, a second heater (second heating section) 74, and ions. A supply unit (charged particle generation unit) 75, an operation unit 76, and the like.

The control section 71 is arranged inside the gripping section 3. The control unit 71 controls the operations of the warm air generating unit 72, the first heater 73, the second heater 74, the ion supply unit 75, and the like based on the contents of the operation by the operation unit 76.

The warm air generating portion 72 is disposed inside the gripping portion 3 (see FIG. 5). The warm air generating portion 72 communicates with a suction port (not shown) and the blowout ports 41a and 41b. The warm air generating unit 72 includes, as main constituent members, a fan, a heater, a motor that drives the fan, and the like. During the operation of the hair care device 1, the fan is rotated by the driving force of the motor. As a result, air flows from the suction port toward the air outlets 41a and 41b.

When the hair care device 1 is operated, the heater in the warm air generating unit 72 is operated to heat the air taken into the hair care device 1. Thereby, warm air is sent out from the air outlets 41a and 41b. In addition, it is possible to stop the operation of the heater during the operation of the hair care device 1. In this case, cold air is sent out from the air outlets 41a and 41b.

The first heater 73 is connected to the first protrusion 22 and heats the first protrusion 22. The first heater 73 is controlled by the control unit 71 to be turned on / off. The first heater 73 is capable of heating at a temperature higher than that of the second heater 74. Thereby, the temperature of the first protrusion 22 can be heated to, for example, 100 ° C or higher. The first heater 73 preferably heats the temperature of the first protrusion 22 to 150 ° C or higher and 180 ° C or lower. This makes it possible to more easily shape and shape the hair.

The second heater 74 is connected to the second protrusion 32 and heats the second protrusion 32. The second heater 74 is controlled by the control unit 71 to be turned on / off. The second heater 74 is heated to a temperature lower than the temperature of the first heater 73 (for example, a temperature in a range of 35 ° C. or higher and 40 ° C. or lower).

As described above, compared with the hair-like member 12 and the first protrusion 22, the height of the second protrusion 32 from the hair-implanted surface is the highest. Therefore, when the hair care device 1 is used, the second protrusion 32 is most likely to contact the scalp and hair. Therefore, by using the second heater 74 to heat the second protrusion 32 to a moderate temperature, the comfort during use can be improved.

In the hair care device 1 according to this embodiment, the control unit 71 can individually control ON / OFF of the first heater 73 and the second heater 74. For example, the control unit 71 can switch the ON state and the OFF state of the second heater 74 when the first heater 73 is in the ON state.

According to this structure, for example, when the temperature is high in summer, the first heater 73 is turned on, and the first protrusion 22 is heated to, for example, about 100 ° C. or higher, and the second heating is performed. The device 74 is set to the OFF state, and the second protrusion 32 can be maintained at a low temperature state. Thereby, the second protrusions 32 in contact with the scalp can make the user feel the degree of coldness while maintaining the first protrusions 22 at a high temperature to perform hair styling. On the other hand, when the temperature is low such as in winter, the second heater 74 is turned on while the first heater 73 is turned on and the first protrusion 22 is heated to about 100 ° C. or higher, for example. In this state, the second protrusion 32 can be heated to about 35 ° C to about 40 ° C. Thereby, the second protrusions 32 in contact with the scalp can shape the hair while maintaining the first protrusions 22 at a high temperature while allowing the user to feel a certain degree of warmth.

The ion supply section 75 (charged particle generating section) is disposed inside the gripping section 3 (see FIG. 5).

Ion supply portion 75 generates a positive (+) ions _{^{(e.g., H + (H 2 O)}} m (m is an arbitrary natural number)), and a negative (-) ions ^{_{(e.g., O 2 - (H 2 O}} ) n ( n is an arbitrary natural number)). Since the hair care device 1 is equipped with the ion supply part 75, the wind blown from the air outlet 41a, 41b can contain an ion. Since the wind blown from the hair care device 1 contains ions, the scalp to be treated can be kept moist and the like, and the scalp environment can be adjusted. In addition, by maintaining moisturized hair or tightening cuticles, hair damage is suppressed, and a therapeutic effect is obtained. Moreover, since the wind blown from the hair care device 1 contains ions, the effect of static elimination (static suppression) can also be obtained.

In addition, the charged particle generating portion of the hair care device according to one aspect of the present invention is not limited to the ion supplying portion, as long as the discharge of ions, electrons, ozone, radicals, and active species is generated by the discharge. Device. When the charged particle generating device generates ions, it may have a structure that generates both positive ions and negative ions, or a structure that generates either positive ions or negative ions.

The operation unit 76 is operated by a user. The operation information in the operation unit 76 is transmitted to the control unit 71.

With the above structure, air (warm air or cold air) can be blown from the air outlets 41 a and 41 b of the hair care device 1. In addition, the first protrusions 22 and the second protrusions 32 provided in the brush portion 2 can be heated. Thereby, the hair care device 1 can be used for hair styling, styling, blow molding, and the like. When the hair is wet, the hair can be dried using the wind from the air outlets 41a and 41b.

(Summary of the First Embodiment) As described above, the hair care device 1 of this embodiment includes the brush portion 2 and the grip portion 3. The brush portion 2 is provided with a hair-like member 12, a first protrusion forming portion 21, a second protrusion forming portion 31a, 31b, an air outlet 41a, 41b, and the like.

The first protrusion forming portion 21 includes a plurality of first protrusions 22. The first protrusion 22 is formed of a material (for example, a metal material, an ore material, a ceramic material, or the like) having a higher thermal conductivity than the hair-like member 12. Accordingly, when the first protrusion 22 is heated using the first heater 73, the first protrusion 22 can be made relatively high temperature. Therefore, it is easy to shape the hair using the hair care device 1.

The second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b include a plurality of second protrusions 32. The second protrusion 32 is formed of a material (for example, a metal material, an ore material, a ceramic material, etc.) having a higher thermal conductivity than the hair-like member 12.

The height of the second protrusion 32 is higher than that of the first protrusion 22. Therefore, when the hair care device 1 is used, the second protrusion 32 is more likely to contact the scalp and hair.

As described above, the thermal conductivity of the second protrusion 32 is higher than that of the hair-like member 12. That is, the second protrusion 32 is easier to conduct heat than the hair-like member 12. Therefore, when the warm air is blown from the air outlets 41 a and 41 b, the temperature of the second protrusion 32 tends to become higher than that of the hair-like member 12. On the other hand, when the cold wind is blown from the blowing ports 41 a and 41 b, the temperature of the second protrusion 32 tends to be lower than that of the hair-like member 12. Since the second protrusion 32 contacts an operation site such as the scalp, a user using the hair care device 1 is more likely to feel warm (cold or cold). Therefore, by appropriately switching ON / OFF of the second heater 74 to make the second protrusion 32 warm or cold, the comfort during use can be improved.

<Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment, the hair care device 1 including the ion supply unit 75 will be described as an example. However, in one aspect of the present invention, the ion supply unit may not be provided. Therefore, in the following, the hair care apparatus 101 which does not have an ion supply part is demonstrated as an example.

FIG. 7 shows the internal structure of the hair care device 101 according to the second embodiment. The hair care device 101 mainly includes a brush portion 2 and a grip portion 3.

The brush portion 2 is provided with a hair-like member (rod-shaped member) 12, a first protrusion forming portion (not shown) 21, a second protrusion forming portion 31a, 31b (not shown), and air outlets 41a, 41b (not shown). Icon) and so on. The first protrusion forming portion 21 includes a first protrusion 22 and the like. The second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b include a second protrusion 32 and the like. The first protrusion 22 is heated by a first heater (first heating section) 73. The second protrusion 32 is heated by a second heater (second heating section) 74. The structure of the brush portion 2 can be the same as that of the first embodiment.

The gripping unit 3 includes a control unit 71 (not shown), a warm air generating unit 72, an operation unit 76, and the like. The structure of the holding portion 3 is the same as that of the holding portion 3 of the first embodiment, except that the ion supplying portion is not provided.

Also, as in the first embodiment, the thermal conductivity of the second protrusion 32 is higher than that of the hair-like member 12. That is, the second protrusion 32 is easier to conduct heat than the hair-like member 12. Therefore, when the warm air is blown from the air outlets 41 a and 41 b, the temperature of the second protrusion 32 tends to become higher than that of the hair-like member 12. On the other hand, when the cold wind is blown from the blowing ports 41 a and 41 b, the temperature of the second protrusion 32 tends to be lower than that of the hair-like member 12. Since the second protrusion 32 contacts an operation site such as the scalp, a user using the hair care device 1 is more likely to feel warm (cold or cold). Therefore, the second protrusions 32 can be warmed or cooled by appropriately switching ON / OFF of the second heater 74, so that the comfort during use can be improved.

<Third Embodiment> Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the hair care device 201 of the third embodiment, the structure of the brush portion 202 is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following description, the structure of the brush portion 202 will be mainly described.

FIG. 8 shows the internal structure of the hair care device 201 according to the third embodiment. The hair care device 201 mainly includes a brush portion 202 and a grip portion 3. The outer shape of the hair care device 201 is constituted by a substantially cylindrical case 10.

The brush portion 202 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped body portion. In addition, one side surface of the main body portion becomes a hair-planting surface (a protruding upright installation surface). A hair-like member (rod-like member) 12, a first protrusion forming portion 21, a second protrusion forming portion 231a, 231b, and air outlets 41a, 41b, and the like are provided on the hair-implanting surface of the brush portion 202. The same structure as the first embodiment can be applied to the hair-like member (rod-like member) 12, the first protrusion forming portion 21, and the air outlets 41a and 41b.

The second protrusion forming portions 231 a and 231 b include an elastic member 235 and a second protrusion 232. The elastic member 235 is a member that becomes the foundation of the second protrusion 232. The second protrusion 232 is supported by the elastic member 235. Accordingly, when the hair care device 201 is used, the tactile sensation when the second protrusion 232 touches an operation site such as the scalp becomes soft, and the comfort during use can be improved.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the second protrusion forming portions 31 a and 31 b are provided with a second heater 74 as a heat source for heating the second protrusion 32. In contrast, in the hair care device 201 of this embodiment, the second protrusion 232 is not provided with a heat source.

Similar to the first embodiment, the second protrusion 232 is formed of a material (for example, a metal material, an ore material, or a ceramic material) having a higher thermal conductivity than the hair-like member 12.

The height of the second protrusion 232 is higher than that of the first protrusion 22. Therefore, when the hair care device 1 is used, the second protrusion 32 is more likely to touch the scalp and hair.

As described above, the thermal conductivity of the second protrusion 232 is higher than that of the hair-like member 12. That is, the second protrusion 232 is easier to conduct heat than the hair-like member 12. Therefore, when the warm air is blown from the air outlets 41 a and 41 b, the temperature of the second protrusion 232 tends to be higher than that of the hair-like member 12. In the other direction, when cold air is blown from the blowout ports 41a and 41b, the temperature of the second protrusion 232 tends to be lower than that of the hair-like member 12. Since the second protrusion 232 contacts an operation site such as the scalp, a user using the hair care device 201 is more likely to feel warm (cold or cold). Therefore, the comfort during use of the hair care device 201 can be improved.

The first protrusion forming portion 21 is provided with a first heater 73 for heating the first protrusion 22. Accordingly, when the first protrusion 22 is heated using the first heater 73, the first protrusion 22 can be made relatively hot. Therefore, it is easy to shape the hair using the hair care device 1.

(Summary) A hair care device according to an aspect of the present invention includes a brush portion. The brush portion has: a plurality of rod-shaped members (for example, hair-like members 12); a first protrusion-forming portion having a plurality of first protrusions; and a second protrusion-forming portion having a higher thermal conductivity than the rod-like member, And the second protrusion is higher than the first protrusion.

According to the configuration described above, since the thermal conductivity of the second protrusion is higher than that of the rod-shaped member (for example, the hair-like member 12), it becomes more easily affected by the ambient temperature and the temperature of the blown wind. In addition, since the height of the second protrusion is higher than that of the first protrusion, the second protrusion is more likely to contact an operation site such as a scalp. Therefore, the user of the hair care device is more likely to feel the warmth (coldness or coldness) of the second protrusion, which can further enhance the comfort during use.

The hair care device according to the aspect of the present invention may further include a first heating unit (for example, the first heater 73) for heating the first protrusion. Moreover, the temperature of the second protrusion is preferably lower than that of the first protrusion. According to this structure, the second protrusion having a higher height can be made to have a relatively low temperature, and the first protrusion having a lower height can be made to have a relatively high temperature. Accordingly, the second protrusion closer to the treatment site such as the scalp can be a temperature comfortable for the user, and on the other hand, the hair can be shaped using the higher temperature first protrusion.

The hair care device according to one aspect of the present invention may further include a second heating unit (for example, the second heater 74) for heating the second protrusion, and heating the first protrusion. And a control unit that controls the second heating unit. In addition, the control unit may be configured to switch between an ON state and an OFF state of the second heating unit when the first heating unit is in an ON state.

In the hair care device according to the aspect of the present invention, the second protrusion may be supported by the elastic member.

In the hair care device according to the aspect of the present invention, the first protrusion may be fixed.

In the hair care device according to one aspect of the present invention described above, the brush portion may include: a first brush body forming portion in which the plurality of rod-shaped members are arranged; and a second brush body forming portion in contact with the The first brush body forming portion is arranged substantially in parallel, and the plurality of rod-shaped members are arranged; between the first brush body forming portion and the second brush body forming portion, the first protrusion forming portion and the The second protrusion forming portion.

According to the above-mentioned configuration, by disposing the first brush body forming portion and the second brush body forming portion outside the hair-implanting surface, a rod-shaped member formed on the first brush body forming portion and the second brush body forming portion can be used It is easier to perform blow molding and curling of hair.

The hair care device according to one aspect of the present invention described above may further include a charged particle generation unit (for example, the ion supply unit 75). Alternatively, the brush portion may be provided with a blowout port for discharging the charged particles generated in the charged particle generating portion, and the blowout port may be disposed outside the first brush body forming portion and the second brush body forming portion.

According to the above-mentioned structure, the wind containing charged particles can be blown out from the outside of the first brush body forming portion and the second brush body forming portion. As a result, static electricity can be suppressed to a certain extent by the wind containing charged particles. This static electricity is generated when the rod-shaped members provided in the first brush body forming portion and the second brush body forming portion come into contact with the hair.
