Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 5 for a hair styling device, which is an integrated handheld device that can be used to quickly air-dry hair while also straightening the hair. The hair styling device includes a straight hair unit and an air duct unit, the straight hair unit is provided with two arms 11, straight hair plates 12 are provided on an opposite surface of the two arms 11, an air duct unit including an air supply duct 21 provided in one arm 11 and an air outlet duct 22 located on the other arm, the air outlet duct 22 is connected to the air supply duct 21.


An air outlet 213 of the air supply duct 21 is located on a corresponding arm and avoids a setting of the straight hair plates 12, for example, it can be provided on one side of the straight hair plates 12. Due to an interval arrangement between the straight hair plates 12 and the air outlet 213, it effectively prevents an airflow blown out by the air outlet duct 22 from blowing onto the straight hair plates 12, ensuring a sufficient heat during straightening the hair by the straight hair plates 12.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in an implementation mode, the two arms 10 are a first arm 102 and a second arm 103, respectively. One ends of the first arm 102 and the second arm 103 are hinged to each other, so that the first arm 102 and the second arm 103 cooperate with each other, so that the two arms have a closed and open state. A first closed use mode is: when the first arm 102 and the second arm 103 close and clamp the hair, a straight hair unit is activated to straighten the hair. Another closed use mode is: when the first arm 102 and the second arm 103 are closed, an air duct unit is activated, and the device is placed close to hair to air dry it. When turned on, wet hair can be stored between the first arm 102 and the second arm 103.


Each arm 11 is provided with at least two straight hair plates 12, each adjacent straight hair plates 12 are provided on the corresponding arm at interval. The air outlet 213 is provided between the adjacent straight hair plates 12, or in an implementation mode, the air outlet 213 is provided in a middle of the two straight hair plates 12 to prevent blowing from affecting a temperature of the straight hair plates 12.


As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment of the present application, the straight hair plates 12 include a first straight hair plate 121 provided on one arm and spaced at intervals with the air outlet 213, and a second straight hair plate 122 provided on the other arm and spaced at intervals with the air outlet duct 22. The second straight hair plate 122 and the first straight hair plate 121 are facing upwards and downwards, respectively. When in use, a consumer clamps a section of wet hair between the opposite first straight hair plate 121 and in the second straight hair plate 122 and pulls the device along a direction of hair extension. The first straight hair plate 121 and the second straight hair plate 122 scrape the wet hair, remove excess unbound water, and heat the hair to accelerate a subsequent evaporation of water. During a pulling process, the first straight hair plate 121 and the second straight hair plate 122 also straighten the hair, used to shape the hair.


The air supply duct 21 is provided on one arm, and an air outlet duct 22 is provided on the other arm. The air outlet duct 22 runs through the corresponding arm and is directly facing the air outlet 213. As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the air outlet duct 22 includes an air outlet 213 located on an inner surface of the first arm 102 and connected to an end of the air supply duct 21, and an air outlet duct 22 running through an inner surface of the second arm 103 and opposite to the air outlet 213. The air outlet duct 22 can form a guiding effect on high-speed airflow blown out by the air outlet 213, thereby effectively avoiding airflow turbulence and improving a drying efficiency of hair. In an implementation mode, the air outlet duct 22 is a hollow hole with a diameter larger than that of the air outlet 213, thus having a sufficiently large diameter that will not block the airflow blown out by the air outlet 213.


A first heating element 13 is provided in the straight hair plates 12, a second heating element 23 for heating the airflow is provided in the air supply duct 21. The first heating element 13 and the second heating element 23 are electrically connected to a main control unit 30, and a heating system of the device is composed of the first heating element 13, the second heating element 23 and the main control unit 30.


In the heating system, the first heating element and the control unit form the first heating system, and the second heating element and the control unit form the second heating system. The two heating systems can work separately or together, so that hair styling device can be used as a straight hair device, air duct device, and straightening hair and air duct separately.

    • 1) When used as the straight hair device, only the first heating system works. The straight hair plates 12 clamp the hair and heat it through the first heating element 13, the device is pulled to complete the straightening of the hair.
    • 2) When used as the air duct device, only the second heating system works, and the second heating element 23 heats the airflow in the air supply duct. Hot air flows through an airflow channel and is blown onto the hair to complete air drying.
    • 3) When used as the straightening hair and air duct, two sets of heating systems work together, which is equivalent to that both the first heating element 13 and the second heating element 23 work. Both provide heat required for straightening hair and air-drying hair separately. Even if the wind blows onto the straight hair plates, it will not affect the heat of the straight hair plates so as to achieve blowing without reducing a straightening hair temperature during straightening the hair, thereby improving a styling efficiency.


As shown in FIG. 4, in one embodiment of the present application, the main control unit 30 is provided in any of the arms 11, and the main control unit 30 controls an operation of the first heating element 13 and the second heating element 23. Specifically, the main control unit 30 is provided in the air supply duct 21 of the first arm 102, which not only transports airflow but also cools the main control unit 30. The main control unit 30 controls the first heating element 13 and the second heating element 23 to work alone or together, so that the device enters a straightening hair mode, hair blowing mode, or straightening hair and blowing mode. The main control unit 30 controls three modes to switch freely, with diverse functions and simple use, which is deeply loved by the consumer.


When the hair needs to be straightened, the hair is stored between arms 10, then arms 10 are closed and the straightening hair mode is activated. The device is pulled along a direction of hair extension to straighten the hair.


When the hair is wet, the consumer can choose the hair blowing mode to dry it. When starting the hair blowing mode, both arms 10 are closed and the device is held to align the air outlet of the air outlet duct 22 with the hair. The airflow blown out of the air outlet of the air outlet duct 22 blows on the hair to dry moisture.


When the consumer needs to straighten and air dry the hair, hair is stored between the closed arms 10, the straightening hair and blowing mode is activated, the device is pulled along a direction of hair extension, straighten the hair with the straight hair unit, and air-dry hair with the air duct unit.


In one embodiment of the present application, at least one of the first straight hair plate 121 and the second straight hair plate 122 is provided with a first heating element 13, which is electrically connected to the main control unit 30. The main control unit 30 controls the heating of the first heating element 13, and the first heating element 13 conducts heat to at least one of the first straight hair plate 121 and the second straight hair plate 122. Optionally, the first heating element 13 may be a heating coil or heating tube. Both the first straight hair plate 121 and the second straight hair plate 122 are provided with a first heating element 13, thereby ensuring a sufficient heat during straightening the hair.


As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment of the present application, two first straight hair plates 121 are provided at intervals on both sides of the air outlet 213; two second straight hair plates 122 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the air outlet duct 22. By arranging the first straight hair plate 121 at a certain distance from the air outlet 213, and the second straight hair plate 122 at a certain distance from the air outlet duct 22, an influence of the high-speed airflow blown out by the air outlet 213 on the heat of the first straight hair plate 121 and the second straight hair plate 122 is reduced, thereby ensuring sufficient heat during straightening the hair and improving the styling efficiency.


In one embodiment, the first straight hair plate 121 and second straight hair plate 122 are both aluminum plates, which have excellent thermal conductivity. In an implement mode, the first straight hair plate 121 and the second straight hair plate 122 are ceramic floating plates with springs that have low rebound rates or stiffness, thereby providing good control over hair tension. In one embodiment of the present application, the second heating element 23 is an electric heating coil 23, which is electrically connected to the main control unit 30. The second heating element 23 can also be other heating element. The second heating element 23 and the first heating element 13 are two separate heating units of this device, and they do not affect each other. One of the two can work alone or together. When the second heating element 23 and the first heating element 13 work together, they can fully ensure the heat generated by the hair styling device during blowing hair.


As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in one embodiment of the present application, the air supply duct 21 includes the air supply duct 21 provided in one of the arms 11 and a motor 212 provided in the air supply duct 21. The second heating element 23 is provided in the air supply duct 21 and is located on an output end side of the motor 212, so that hot air flow does not flow onto the motor 212, thereby improving a service life of the motor 212.


The motor 212 is connected to the main control unit 30, which can control the motor 212 to work independently, or control motor 212 and second heating element 23 to work together, or control motor 212, second heating element 23, and first heating element 13 to work together, thereby achieving different working modes. An end of the air supply duct 21 is connected to the air outlet 213. In an implementation mode, both the air supply duct 21 and the motor 212 are located in the first arm 102.


In this embodiment, the main control unit 30, motor 212, and second heating element 23 are arranged in sequence along the air flow direction from an air inlet to the air outlet of the air supply duct 21, so that when air enters, it first passes through the main control unit 30 to dissipate heat, then passes through the motor 212 and second heating element 23, and finally blows out from the air outlet. It is equivalent to that the air enters the end of the air supply duct 21 and is only heated by the second heating element 23, ensuring that the main control unit 30 and the motor 212 at a front-end work at room temperature, and the flowing air cools the main control unit 30 and motor 212, which can extend the service life of accessories.


The air supply duct 21 extends from a hinged end of the first arm 102 to an interior of one of the arms, and the airflow enters from the hinged end and flows out from an air outlet position of a corresponding arm. In an implementation mode, the air supply duct 21 is an independent duct that can be disassembled and assembled on one arm. This independent duct enables the independent assembly of the air duct unit, forming an assembly body that is then installed on the straight hair arm. In this embodiment, the air supply duct 21 is enclosed by an upper shell of air duct 24 and a lower shell of air duct 25. A sealing element 26 is provided between the upper shell of air duct 24 and the lower shell of air duct 25 to prevent air leakage, a sealing groove 27 is provided to install the sealing element 26.


In an implementation mode, the motor 212 includes a motor and an impeller located on a motor output shaft, which drives the impeller to rotate and achieve an agitation of the airflow. An outer periphery of the air outlet is provided with a frame 28, which forms a circle and surrounds the outer periphery of the air outlet 213, a protrusion forms a certain height, which can prevent water from flowing into the air supply duct from the air outlet. A guide wing 29 is provided in the air outlet 213, which has different angle guide vanes to change the air from a horizontal inlet of the air supply duct 21 to a longitudinal outlet of the air outlet duct 22.


The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit it. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
