The present disclosure relates to the field of handle-type electrical blow dryers, in particular to a multifunctional handle-type electrical blow dryer.
Blow dryer is generally formed by assembling a set of electrical heating wires and a small high-speed fan. When power is applied, the heating wires generate heat, and the wind blown by the fan passes through the heating wires and turns the air into hot air. If only the small fan is rotated and the heating wires are not heated, then the wind blown out from the blow dryer will be ordinary wind only, but not hot wind.
Due to the issue of high heat dissipation of the electrical blow dryer, surrounding objects may be damaged or adversely affected by the electrical blow dryer easily, especially when there is no one around or lack of monitoring.
To overcome the drawback of the conventional blow dryer that is incapable of preventing blowing or melting nearby soaps, the present disclosure provides a multifunctional handle-type electrical blow dryer to obtain a distribution area with the existence of a target and a non-distribution area without the existence of the target and the blow dryer implements a differential image division mode and uses a high precision foreground cutting mechanism to facilitate various subsequent image operations; and the timing of contrast enhancement of the high-definition image and its number of times are determined based on a preliminary detection result of the target quantity of the image, so as to avoid unnecessary waste of computing resources. This blow dryer further uses the permanent-magnet brushless motor to correct the current position of the high definition camera and ensures the accuracy of the subsequent measurement result based on the ultrasonic wave propagation speed correction mechanism for testing. On the basis of the aforementioned high precision image processing, a custom detection of a soap target near the electrical blow dryer is performed to prevent the electrical blow dryer from blowing and melting the soap.
