FIG. 1 shows a partial sectional view of an automatic hair curler according to embodiments of the present disclosure, where a portion of theshell 20 is sectioned to show the internal features, including theheating rod 30 and the rotatingseat 40. As shown, a shiftingpart 41 for shifting hair may be arranged on the rotatingseat 40. Both of theheating rod 30 and theshell 20 are fixed on thehandle 10, while the rotatingseat 40 is sleeved around the outside of theheating rod 30 and can rotate relative to theheating rod 30 under the drive of the driving device. Meanwhile, ahair curling cavity 60 used for curling the hair can be formed between an outer surface of theheating rod 30 and an inner surface of the rotatingseat 40, where an upper end of thehair curling cavity 60 is open. In addition, anotch 21 communicated with thehair curling cavity 60 is formed on theshell 20, where thenotch 21 extends from a top end face of theshell 20 downwards. In this way, during use by the user, the hair may be put in thehair curling cavity 60 from thenotch 21, and under the drive of the driving device, the rotatingseat 40 starts rotating. Since both of theshell 20 and amounting shaft 52 are fixed relative to thehandle 10, a shiftingpart 41 arranged on the rotatingseat 40 can wind the hair on theheating rod 30 with the rotation of the rotatingseat 40, where a curling effect of the hair wound on theheating rod 30 can be achieved in a continuous heating process of theheating rod 30. Furthermore, due to the arrangement of theshell 20 and the rotatingseat 40, the user can be effectively isolated from a heat source of theheating rod 30 to avoid scalding the user by theheating rod 30 in a hair curling process, thus being safer to use. -
FIG. 2 shows a cross sectional view of the hair curler shown inFIG. 1 . As shown inFIG. 2 , a driving device of the hair curler may include amotor 51, themounting shaft 52, abearing 54 and agear 53. Themotor 51 may be installed on thehandle 10, and thegear 53 may be fixedly connected with the rotatingseat 40, where thegear 53 is synchronously coupled with a rotating shaft of themotor 51. In addition, themounting shaft 52 may be fixed to thehandle 10, theheating rod 30 may be fixed at the upper end of themounting shaft 52, and the rotatingseat 40 may be pivoted on themounting shaft 52 by thebearing 54. In this way, under the drive of themotor 51, thegear 53 starts rotating, and the rotatingseat 40 can rotate under the action of thegear 53 and thebearing 54, and the rotatingseat 40 can stably rotate relative to theheating rod 30. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , a rotatingseat 40 may include asleeving part 43 and ashifting piece 44, where the shiftingpiece 44 is distributed on the periphery of thesleeving part 43 and extends outwardly from thesleeving part 43.

Ahair curling cavity 60 can be formed by the inner surface of the shiftingpiece 44 and the outer surface of theheating rod 30 in cooperation, so the entire structure is more stable. - The shifting
piece 44 may extend at least partially around a circumference of sleeving part 43 (such that the shifting piece may extend at least partially around an assembled heating rod). For example, in the embodiment shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 , twoshifting pieces 44 may be spaced apart around the circumference of thesleeving part 43, thereby extending less than the entire circumference of thesleeving part 43. In some embodiments, one or more shifting pieces may extend the entire circumference around the sleeving part or less than the entire circumference of the sleeving part. Further, the shiftingpiece 44 may include at least one shiftingpart 41, where shiftingparts 41 may be formed of projections that are convexly arranged as part of a side wall of the shiftingpiece 44. Shiftingparts 41 may help shifting or otherwise maneuvering of hair inserted into the automatic hair curler. Meanwhile, a positioningelastic part 42 may be arranged on an inner wall of the shiftingpiece 44, so the hair can be wound on theheating rod 30 more smoothly in a hair curling process, and accordingly, the hair curling effect may be better. The positioningelastic part 42 may extend inwardly from the side wall of the shiftingpiece 44, such that the positioningelastic part 42 may extend into thehair curling cavity 60 formed between the inner surface of the shiftingpiece 44 and the outer surface of theheating rod 30. - In some embodiments, a rotating seat may adopt the structure as shown in
FIG. 4 , where anelastic piece 45 may be arranged at an upper end of the shiftingpiece 44. Theelastic piece 45 may gradually incline outwards from the upper end of the shiftingpiece 44, inclining in a direction from a bottom of the elastic piece to a top of the elastic piece.
