Currently, the hair rotating rack of the automatic hair curler is mostly composed of pillars distributed in a circular array, hair goes through the gaps between various pillars and is circled around the thermal conductive cylinder. This can easily cause messy hair and knotting, which can lead to the hair curler getting stuck. In order to solve the problem, the present application provides a hair curler

The present application provides a hair curler. The hair curler 100 includes a handle 1 and a hair curling component. The hair curling component includes a thermal conductive cylinder 2 and a hair rotating rack 3, the thermal conductive cylinder 2 is configured to protrude from a top of the handle 1, and a hair entry groove 21 is formed on a top of the thermal conductive cylinder 2. The hair rotating rack 3 is a closed annular structure and is rotatably provided on a peripheral side of the thermal conductive cylinder 2, a hair rotating entry 31 is provided on a side wall of the hair rotating rack 3, and the hair rotating entry 31 is configured to extend along a height direction of the hair rotating rack 3. In response to the stop of the hair rotating rack 3, the hair rotating entry 31 is provided opposite to the hair entry groove 21.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the hair curler 100 of the present application includes a handle 1 and a hair curling component. The hair curling component includes a thermal conductive cylinder 2 and a hair rotating rack 3, and the thermal conductive cylinder 2 is configured to protrude from a top of the handle 1. A heating element is provided inside the handle 1 and is thermally connected to the thermal conductive cylinder 2 to conduct heat to the thermal conductive cylinder 2, so as to warm up the side wall of the thermal conductive cylinder 2. The hair rotating rack 3 is rotatably provided on the top of the handle 1, and is concentrically arranged with the thermal conductive cylinder 2 and is in clearance fit with the thermal conductive cylinder 2. A driving component is provided at the connection between the handle 1 and the hair rotating rack 3, and the driving component is used to drive the hair rotating rack 3 to rotate around the thermal conductive cylinder 2. A hair entry head is configured to protrude from the top of the thermal conductive cylinder 2. The top surface of the hair entry head is higher than the top surface of the hair rotating rack 3, and a hair entry groove 21 is formed on the top surface of the hair entry head. The hair entry groove 21 is in the shape of a straight line and extends radially along the thermal conductive cylinder 2, and both ends of the hair entry groove 21 are connected to the side walls of the hair entry head, so that the hair entry head is formed with two oppositely arranged first and second hair entrances. The first hair entrance and the second hair entrance are U-shaped. The lowest point of the first hair entrance is higher than the lowest point of the second hair entrance, the lowest point of the first hair entrance is higher than the highest point of the hair rotating rack 3, and the lowest point of the second hair entrance is lower than the highest point of the hair rotating rack 3.

Traditional hair rotating racks are mostly composed of pillars distributed in a circular array. Different from the traditional hair rotating rack, the hair rotating rack 3 of the hair curler 100 in the present application is a closed annular structure. A hair rotating entry 31 configured to extend along the height direction of the hair rotating rack 3 is provided on the side wall of the hair rotating rack 3. The hair rotating entry 31 is a U-shaped entry. The driving component of the hair rotating rack 3 is provided with a Hall induction positioning element to ensure that when the hair curler 100 stops working, the hair rotating rack 3 can be reset to the initial position. The hair rotating entry 31 of the hair rotating rack 3 and the hair entry groove 21 are on the same straight line, and the hair rotating entry 31 is directly opposite to the second hair entrance.

When the appliance is working, the hair is sequentially put into the first hair entrance, the hair entry groove 21, the second hair entrance and the hair rotating entry 31. Since the heights of the first hair entrance, the hair entry groove 21, the second hair entrance and the hair rotating entry 31 gradually decrease, the hair can move downward in sequence under the action of gravity, so that the hair enters the hair curler 100 in an orderly manner, thereby avoiding messy hair. Then, the hair rotating rack 3 rotates to spirally wrap the hair around the thermal conductive cylinder 2.

To sum up, the hair rotating rack 3 of the hair curler 100 in the present application adopts a annular structure, and a single U-shaped hair rotating entry 31 is provided on the side wall of the hair rotating rack 3, thereby ensuring that hair can only go through the hair rotating entry 31, avoiding the problem of tangled hair, and preventing the hair from being curled twice and getting knotted and stuck.

Referring to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, the hair rotating entry 31 extends to the bottom of the hair rotating rack 3. In actual application, the width of the hair rotating entry 31 can be set to a constant width, or it can gradually shrink from top to bottom, or it can also gradually widen from top to bottom, which is not limited here. When the width of the hair rotating entry 31 gradually shrinks from top to bottom, that is, when the opening of the hair rotating entry 31 is wide and the end is narrow, the hair enters the hair rotating entry 31 from the wider opening and gathers at the end. When the width of the hair rotating entry 31 gradually widens from top to bottom, that is, the opening is narrow and the end is wide, the opening of the hair rotating entry 31 has a tightening effect on the hair.

Referring to FIG. 5, a baffle strip 32 is configured to protrude from the inner wall of the hair rotating rack 3. The baffle strips 32 are provided oppositely on both sides of the hair rotating entry 31 and extend along the height direction of the hair rotating rack 3. The baffle strip 32 being provided oppositely on both sides of the hair rotating entry 31 can isolate the hair, and can also ensure that the hair is restricted in the hair rotating entry 31, so that the hair is wrapped around the thermal conductive cylinder 2 following the rotation of the hair rotating rack 3.

A transparent area 33 is formed on the side wall of the hair rotating rack 3. The side wall of the hair rotating rack 3 can be hollowed out to form the transparent area 33, or can be hollowed out and then covered with a transparent material such as glass to form the transparent area 33. The design of the transparent area 33 can save materials of the hair rotating rack 3 and reduce weight of the hair rotating rack 3. Meanwhile, the curling process can be observed through the transparent area 33.

The hair curler 100 also includes a shell 4, the shell 4 is configured to fixedly cover the peripheral side of the hair rotating rack 3. The shell 4 plays a protective and heat-insulating role to prevent the user from being scalded due to overheating of the thermal conductive cylinder 2 during the curling process. Referring to FIG. 6, the side wall of the shell 4 is provided with a hair clipping opening 41, the hair clipping opening 41 is located on the top of the shell 4 and is provided opposite to the hair entry groove 21.

In an embodiment, the side wall of the shell 4 is also provided with an avoidance opening 42, the avoidance opening 42 is located below the hair clipping opening 41 and is configured to communicate with the hair clipping opening 41.

In an initial state, the hair entry groove 21, the hair rotating entry 31, and the hair clipping opening 41 are arranged opposite to each other. The hair clipping opening 41 is located on the side of the second hair entrance of the hair entry groove 21, and the lowest point of the hair clipping opening 41 is lower than the lowest point of the second hair entrance. Under the influence of gravity, the hair enters sequentially into the first hair entrance, the hair entrance trough 21, the second hair entrance, the hair rotating entry 31, the hair clipping opening 41 and the avoidance opening 42, causing the hair to droop naturally. When space is sufficient, the coverage area of the avoidance opening 42 can be larger than the coverage area of the hair clipping opening 41. Besides, the hair clipping opening 41 on the top of the shell 4 is a narrow small opening, and the avoidance opening 42 below the hair clipping opening 41 is a large opening. This not only ensures the locking limit of the hair bundle, but also exposes the structure of the curling bin and the hair rotating rack 3 to the maximum space, allowing direct observation of possible dangerous situations of stuck hair, and at the same time, the temperature inside the appliance can be quickly diffused.

In an embodiments of the present application, the handle 1 and the shell 4 are of an integrated structure, which avoids the connection between the shell 4 and the handle 1 and simplifies the overall structure of the hair curler 100. There are limited steps at the boundary between the handle 1 and the shell 4 to guide the user to hold the handle

In a conventional hair curler, the handle 1 and the thermal conductive cylinder 2 are often arranged coaxially. When curling hair, the user needs to lift the hair curler for a long time, which may easily cause arm soreness. For this reason, in an embodiment of the present application, the shell 4 and the handle 1 are arranged eccentrically, the central axis of the shell 4 is offset toward the side where the hair clipping opening 41 is located, and the thermal conductive cylinder 2 is located at the central axis of the shell 4.

Referring to FIG. 2, the hair rotating rack 3 and the thermal conductive cylinder 2 are arranged concentrically. The central axis A-A′ of the handle 1 is not axial with the central axis B-B′ of the thermal conductive cylinder 2. The thermal insulation cylinder has an eccentric and asymmetric structure relative to the handle 1. The central axis B-B′ of the thermal conductive cylinder 2 is offset toward the side where the hair clipping opening 41 is located, that is, it is offset toward the side where the user's head is located. Thereby, the center of gravity of the hair curling component is shifted toward the side where the user's head is located, so that the hair curler 100 automatically tilts toward the user's head when it is lifted, thereby achieving a energy-saving effect and alleviating the soreness of the arms.

More specifically, the diameter of the shell 4 is larger than the diameter of the handle 1, the side of the shell 4 away from the hair clipping opening 41 is arranged flush with the handle 1, and the side of the shell 4 facing the hair clipping opening 41 is configured to protrude from the handle 1. Thus, the eccentric arrangement of the shell 4 and the handle 1 is achieved.

In an embodiment, the hair curler 100 further includes a driving component. Referring to FIG. 7, the driving component includes a motor 51, an internal gear 52 and an external gear 53. The motor 51 is provided inside the handle 1 and located at the top of the handle 1. The internal gear 52 is sleeved on the motor 51 to rotate with the motor 51. The external gear 53 is provided at the bottom of the hair rotating rack 3, the internal gear 52 is eccentrically provided in the external gear 53 and is configured to mesh with the external gear 53. Therefore, the motor 51 rotates to drive the internal gear 52 to rotate, the internal gear 52 rotates to drive the external gear 53 to rotate, and the external gear 53 rotates to drive the hair rotating rack 3 to rotate.

The above are only some embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Under the concept of the present application, any equivalent structural transformations made by using the description and accompanying drawings of the present application, or direct/indirect application in other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present application.
