With reference to
A rotary electrical connection assembly provided in this specific embodiment includes: a fixed part disposed fixedly and a rotating part disposed rotatably relative to the fixed part, where the rotating part is provided with at least two rotary contacts, at least two fixed contacts being disposed on the fixed part, the at least two rotary contacts are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position, and/or the at least two fixed contacts are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position; and the fixed contacts and the rotary contacts are electrically connected.
The rotary contacts may be rotary closed contacts 1, may further be rotary non-closed contacts 2, or have a combined structure of the two, and the fixed contacts may be fixed closed contacts 3, may further be fixed non-closed contacts 4, or have a combined structure of the two, which is determined specifically according to actual situations.
In use, the rotating part is provided with at least two rotary contacts, and the fixed part is provided with at least two fixed contacts. During the connection process, the rotary contacts and the fixed contacts are electrically connected, to form at least one loop for providing electric energy for components and parts. In addition, the at least two rotary contacts are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position, and/or the at least two fixed contacts are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position. Therefore, provided that more groups of the rotary contacts and the fixed contacts are disposed, a relatively small axial space may be occupied, a radial space may be reasonably utilized, the increase of an axial dimension of a device may be avoided, and miniaturization of the device is facilitated.
In this specific embodiment, the rotating part is provided with an even number of the rotary contacts, and the fixed part is provided with an even number of the fixed contacts. Specifically, there may be two, four, six or a greater even number of rotary contacts and fixed contacts, which is not limited in the present application. The rotary contacts may be one rotary closed contact 1 and one rotary non-closed contact 2, may further be an even number of rotary closed contacts and an even number of rotary non-closed contacts 2, and certainly may further be either an even number of rotary closed contacts 1 or an even number of rotary non-closed contacts 2 provided that the total number of the rotary contacts is an even number, and the fixed contacts may be one fixed closed contact 3 and one fixed non-closed contact 4, may further be an even number of fixed closed contacts 3 and an even number of fixed non-closed contacts 4, and certainly may further be either an even number of fixed closed contacts 3 or an even number of fixed non-closed contacts 4 provided that the total number of the fixed contacts is an even number, which is not limited in the present application.
During the connection process, the rotary contacts and the fixed contacts are electrically connected, to form at least one loop for providing electric energy for components and parts. In addition, an even number of the rotary contacts are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position, and/or at least an even number of the fixed contacts are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position. Provided that more groups of the rotary contacts and the fixed contacts are disposed, a relatively small axial space may be occupied, a radial space may be reasonably utilized, the increase of an axial dimension of a device may be avoided, and miniaturization of the device is facilitated.
On the basis of the above embodiments, the rotary contacts may include at least two rotary closed contacts 1 and at least two rotary non-closed contacts 2, the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence manner, the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2 corresponding thereto are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position, and different rotary closed contacts 1 are located at different axial positions; and/or the fixed contacts include at least two fixed closed contacts 3 and at least two fixed non-closed contacts 4, the fixed closed contacts 3 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence manner, the fixed closed contacts 3 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 corresponding thereto are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position, and different fixed closed contacts 3 are located at different axial positions.
During the arrangement process of the rotary contacts and the fixed contacts, the arrangement mode mentioned in this specific embodiment enables dimensions occupied axially and radially by the rotary contacts and the fixed contacts to be more reasonable, and avoids the excessive increase of a dimension in a single direction. Certainly, during the arrangement process, the arrangement mode of the rotary contacts and the fixed contacts may further be adjusted according to actual situations, e.g., two groups of rotary closed contacts 1 and two groups of rotary non-closed contacts 2 are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position respectively, which is determined specifically according to actual situations.
Preferably, an axial width of the rotary non-closed contacts 2, an axial width of the rotary closed contacts 1, an axial width of the fixed non-closed contacts 4 and an axial width of the fixed closed contacts 3 all are the same; and an axial gap between the rotary closed contacts 1 disposed axially adjacently and an axial gap between the fixed closed contacts 3 disposed axially adjacently are the same.
On the basis of the above embodiments, a rotary electrical connection assembly provided in this specific embodiment includes: a fixed part disposed fixedly and a rotating part disposed rotatably relative to the fixed part, where the rotating part is provided with at least one rotary closed contact 1 and at least one rotary non-closed contact 2, and the fixed part is provided with at least one fixed closed contact 3 and at least one fixed non-closed contact 4; the rotary closed contacts 1 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 are electrically connected in a correspondingly sleeved manner, and the rotary non-closed contacts 2 and the fixed closed contacts 3 are electrically connected in a correspondingly sleeved manner; and the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2 are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position, and the fixed closed contacts 3 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 are located at different radial positions corresponding to the same axial position.
It should be noted that, that the rotary closed contacts 1 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 are electrically connected in a correspondingly sleeved manner means that during the actual assembly process, in general, one rotary closed contact 1 and one fixed non-closed contact 4 are connected in a sleeved manner, i.e., any one sleeves the periphery of the other. In addition, to guarantee the power-on, the rotary closed contacts 1 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 need to be electrically connected, and the rotary closed contacts 1 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 may be electrically connected in a contact manner, and certainly may further be electrically connected in other manners, which is determined specifically according to actual situations. The rotary non-closed contacts 2 and the fixed closed contacts 3 are electrically connected in a correspondingly sleeved manner. In general, one rotary non-closed contact 2 and one fixed closed contact 3 are connected in a sleeved manner, and any one may sleeve the periphery of the other to implement electrical connection.
In addition, to reduce an axial length of the rotary electrical connection assembly as much as possible, during the arrangement process, the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2 in the rotating part need to be disposed in a sleeved manner. This means that all the rotary closed contacts 1 and all the rotary non-closed contacts 2 in the rotating part are disposed in a sleeved manner, e.g., provided that two groups of rotary closed contacts 1 and two groups of rotary non-closed contacts 2 are disposed, one rotary closed contact may be disposed on the innermost side, one rotary non-closed contact 2 sleeves the periphery of the previous rotary closed contact, the other rotary closed contact 1 sleeves the periphery of the rotary non-closed contact 2, and the other rotary non-closed contact 2 is disposed on the outermost side in a sleeving manner. During the sleeving process, axial positions of adjacent two contacts are overlapped in the axial direction, to reduce an occupied space in the axial direction as much as possible. Certainly, the sleeving order of the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2 needs to be determined according to actual situations, which is not repeated herein.
When the rotary electrical connection assembly provided in this specific embodiment is used, the rotating part is provided with at least one rotary closed contact 1 and at least one rotary non-closed contact 2, the fixed part is provided with at least one fixed closed contact 3 and at least one fixed non-closed contact 4, during the connection process, the rotary closed contacts 1 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 are electrically connected, the rotary non-closed contacts 2 and the fixed closed contacts 3 are electrically connected, and therefore at least one loop may be formed for providing electric energy for components and parts. In addition, a sleeved manner is used between the rotary closed contacts 1 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4, between the rotary non-closed contacts 2 and the fixed closed contacts 3, between the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2, and between the fixed closed contacts 3 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 separately, i.e., one sleeves the periphery of the other. Therefore, provided that more groups of the rotary non-closed contacts 2, the fixed closed contacts 3, the rotary closed contacts 1 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 are disposed, the increase of an axial dimension of a device may be avoided, and miniaturization of the device is facilitated.
On the basis of the above embodiments, an axial width of the rotary non-closed contacts 2, an axial width of the rotary closed contacts 1, an axial width of the fixed non-closed contacts 4 and an axial width of the fixed closed contacts 3 may all be the same; and the rotary non-closed contacts 2, the rotary closed contacts 1, the fixed non-closed contacts 4 and the fixed closed contacts 3 axially completely coincide.
Preferably, the rotary non-closed contacts 2, the rotary closed contacts 1, the fixed non-closed contacts 4 and the fixed closed contacts 3 may each have a sheet structure. Therefore, during the assembly process, even if more groups of the rotary non-closed contacts 2, the rotary closed contacts 1, the fixed non-closed contacts 4 and the fixed closed contacts 3 are disposed, the increase of a radial size may not be relatively large.
On the basis of the above embodiments, the rotary non-closed contacts 2 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 each are an elastic structural member, such that the rotary non-closed contacts 2 are in contact with sides of the fixed closed contacts 3 by elastic force, and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 are in contact with sides of the rotary closed contacts 1 by elastic force.
During the arrangement process, the rotary non-closed contacts 2 may sleeve the periphery of the fixed closed contacts 3, and an inner diameter of the rotary non-closed contacts 2 is made to be less than an outer diameter of the fixed closed contacts 3 matching with the rotary non-closed contacts 2, such that the rotary non-closed contacts 2 are in contact with the fixed closed contacts 3 by elastic force to implement electrical connection. Certainly, the rotary non-closed contacts 2 may further be sleeved with the fixed closed contacts 3, and an outer diameter of the rotary non-closed contacts 2 is made to be greater than an inner diameter of the fixed closed contacts 3, such that the rotary non-closed contacts 2 are in contact with the fixed closed contacts 3 by elastic force to implement electrical connection. The connecting mode between the rotary closed contacts 1 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 is similar to the connection mode between the rotary non-closed contacts 2 and the fixed closed contacts 3, i.e., the rotary closed contacts 1 may be sleeved with or sleeve the fixed non-closed contacts 4.
On the basis of the above embodiments, for the ease of connection to other members, the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2 may each be provided with a first bent part electrically connected to a rotating member, and the fixed non-closed contacts 4 and the fixed closed contacts 3 each are provided with a second bent part electrically connected to a power supply part.
The rotating member has a structure needing to rotate in the hair styling device.
Preferably, the rotary electrical connection assembly further includes a rotating housing 5 configured to wrap the peripheries of the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2, and a fixed housing 6 configured to fixedly mount the fixed closed contacts 3 and the fixed non-closed contacts 4.
A central shaft 7 configured to transmit power may further be disposed, the central shaft 7 is driven by a motor 10 to rotate, and the rotary closed contacts 1 and the rotary non-closed contacts 2 in the rotating part are connected to the central shaft 7 and are driven by the central shaft 7 to rotate.
In addition to the rotary electrical connection assembly in the above embodiments, the present invention further provides a rotary tail assembly including the rotary electrical connection assembly disclosed in the above embodiments. Refer to the prior art for the structure of other parts of the rotary tail assembly, which is not repeated herein.
In addition to the rotary electrical connection assembly described above, the present invention further provides a hair styling device including the rotary electrical connection assembly disclosed in the above embodiments or the rotary tail assembly.
