Description
FIELD

The disclosure relates to a technical field of hair dryer, in particular to an air amplification type hair dryer.


BACKGROUND

The air amplification type hair dryer is mainly composed of a handle, an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, a fan and a control circuit. The handle has an inner cavity as an air duct, and the fan is installed in the air duct of the handle. The outer cylinder and the inner cylinder constitute an air amplifier, an annular cavity communicating with the air passage is formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, the front end of the annular cavity forms an annular nozzle, and the control circuit is housed in the end section of the annular cavity. If there is a hot air function, electric heating elements are installed in the annular cavity. There is an air inlet at the end of the handle. The air is sucked into the air duct of the handle by the fan, forming a high-speed airflow into the annular duct of the air amplifier, and finally ejected from the annular nozzle. The jetted high-speed annular air flow forms a negative pressure zone in the inner cylinder, so that a large amount of air surrounding the inner cylinder will be sucked into the inner cylinder, and the air and the high-speed annular air flow merge into a high-speed, high-flow airflow and blow out from the air amplifier. The current air amplification type hair dryer is still a new product, and there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of noise, wind blowing range, and amplified air volume.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As shown in FIGS. 1-3, an air amplification type hair dryer includes a handle 1, an outer cylinder 2, an inner cylinder 3, a fan 4, and a control circuit 5 (the fan 4 and the control circuit 5 are conventional components, as shown in the figure It is the installation position, and its specific shape is not indicated), the fan 4 is installed in the air duct of the handle 1, an annular cavity connecting the air duct is formed between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3, and the front end of the annular cavity forms an annular nozzle 6, and the control circuit 5 is housed at the end of the annular cavity. In the present invention, a transverse tunnel-shaped hole 1.1 is provided in the end section of the handle 1, and the peripheral wall of the tunnel-shaped hole 1.1 is set to a grid shape. The fan 4 is sleeved in a silencing barrel 7, and the air inlet section 7.1 of the silencing barrel shrinks in steps. The inner cylinder 3 is provided with a number of circumferentially arranged spray holes 3.1 inclined towards the air outlet at the middle section, and the section of the inner cylinder 3 from the spray hole 3.1 to the outlet is set into a slightly expanded funnel-shaped.


The air is sucked into the air duct of the handle 1 from the transverse tunnel-shaped hole 1.1 by the fan 4, which forming a high-speed airflow into the annular cavity between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3, and finally ejects from the annular nozzle 6. The jetted high-speed annular air flow forms a negative pressure zone in the inner cylinder 3, so that a large amount of surrounding the inner cylinder 3 will be sucked into the inner cylinder 3, and the air and the high-speed annular air flow merge into a high-speed, high-flow airflow and blow out from the air amplifier. The transverse tunnel-shaped hole 1.1 is used as the air inlet of the handle 1, the direct transmission channel of fan noise is blocked, and the noise can be reduced to a certain extent; and the fan 4 is sleeved in the silencing barrel 7, and the air inlet section 7.1 of the silencing barrel 7 is set to shrink in a step shape, and the step can block a part of the noise from the source of the fan 4, thereby further reduce noise. The oblique spray holes 3.1 opened on the inner cylinder 3 can further enhance the flow rate of the air drawn into the inner cylinder 3, thereby increasing the air volume; and the outlet section 3.2 of the inner cylinder 3 is set into a funnel-shaped, on the one hand, it can provide expansion channel for the airflow entering from the oblique spray holes 3.1, on the other hand, it can expand the angle of the wind, thereby expanding the range of the wind.


In order to prevent finer foreign matter from being sucked into the fan, a filter screen 8 is installed on the surface of the tunnel-shaped hole 1.1 located in the air duct of the handle 1. In order to make the air flow in the fan flow more smoothly, the outer cylinder 2 is formed with a baffle 2.1 that isolates the control circuit 5 from the annular cavity and the handle air duct. In order to further reduce the vibration and noise of the fan, the fan 4 is sleeved in a rubber sleeve 9, for example, a silicone sleeve can be used.
