In the traditional wired blow dryers currently on the market, in daily use, a power cable of the wired blow dryer is easy to be wrapped around a user's arm or other objects, which is inconvenient to use. In addition, when in use, the wired blow dryer must be plugged into a mains socket through a plug of the power cable, so that the use of the wired blow dryers is limited, that is, most of them can only be used indoors, and cannot be used when the power is cut off.
The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a wireless blow dryer system and a wireless blow dryer which is convenient for use.
In order to solve the above technical problems, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a wireless blow dryer, which includes an air duct, a handle connected to the air duct, an energy storage assembly, a fan assembly, a main control board, and an air inlet channel and an air outlet channel communicating with each other. The air duct is provided with the air outlet channel. The fan assembly includes a motor arranged in the handle and a fan blade connected to the motor. The main control board is electrically coupled to the energy storage assembly and the motor. The energy storage assembly is configured to supply power to the motor and the main control board. The main control board is configured to control the motor to drive the fan blade to rotate, so as to cause airflow to enter the air inlet channel and exit the air duct through the air outlet channel.
Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a wireless hair dryer system, which includes a charging socket and the wireless hair dryer. The charging socket includes an inserting portion and a charging terminal provided in the inserting portion. The energy storage assembly further includes a charging connector provided at a free end of the handle, wherein the charging connector is electrically connected to the main control board. When the handle is inserted into the inserting portion, the charging connector is electrically connected to the charging terminal, and the main control board uses electric energy provided by the charging socket to charge the energy storage assembly.

The shutdown mode means that the rechargeable batteries 51 in the blow dryer 100 stops supplying power to the main control board 90, the motor 64, the heating module 83, and the display module 105, so that the various components in the blow dryer 100 are in an inoperative state. The cool air mode means that the motor 64 of the blow dryer 100 works to drive the fan blade 66 to rotate to form an airflow, but the heating module 83 does not generate heat, that is, the airflow blown by the blow dryer 100 is natural wind. The hot air mode means that the motor 64 of the blow dryer 100 works to drive the fan blade 66 to rotate to form an airflow, at the same time, the main control board 90 controls the rechargeable batteries 51 to supply power to the heating module 83, and the heating module 83 also works to generate heat. When the air flows through the heating module 83, heat exchange occurs to form a hot airflow, that is, the airflow blown by the blow dryer 100 is hot air. The low speed, medium speed and high speed means that the main control board 90 controls the motor 64 to drive, with different powers, the fan blade 66 to rotate at different speed, so as to form airflows of three different wind speed levels: low speed, medium speed, and high speed. The wind volume at the high speed is the largest, followed by the wind volume at the medium speed, and wind volume at the low speed is the smallest.
When the blow dryer 100 is in a charging state, no matter what working mode the blow dryer 100 is currently in, the main control board 90 controls the rechargeable batteries 51 to stop supplying power to the heating module 83 and the motor 64, that is, the heating module 83 is powered off and the motor 64 stops rotating.
During the charging process of the blow dryer 100, the handle 30 of the blow dryer 100 can be taken out from the charging socket 400 at any time. When the blow dryer 100 is taken out from the charging socket 400, the blow dryer 100 exits the charging state and resumes the working mode before charging.
During use, the blow dryer 100 protects the rechargeable batteries 51 from over-discharge, that is, during the operation of the motor 64, if the main control board 90 detects that the voltage of any rechargeable batteries 51 is lower than a first preset voltage threshold value, the main control board 90 controls the heating module assembly 80 to stop generating heat and the motor 64 to stop rotating. Specifically, the first preset voltage threshold value set in the main control board 90 is 2.7V, when the main control board 90 detects that the voltage value of any rechargeable batteries 51 in the energy storage assembly 50 is lower than 2.7V, the main control board 90 controls the rechargeable batteries 51 to stop supplying power to the heating module 83 and the motor 64, so that the heating module 83 stops generating heat and the motor 64 stops rotating, and the display module 105 indicates the over-discharge state.
The over-charging protection when the blow dryer 100 is charging, that is, when the charging socket 400 is charging the rechargeable batteries 51, if the main control board 90 detects that the voltage value of any rechargeable batteries 51 is higher than a second preset voltage threshold value, the main control board 90 controls the rechargeable batteries 51 to stop charging. Specifically, if the second preset voltage threshold value set in the main control board 90 is 4.2V, when the charging socket 400 is charging the rechargeable batteries 51, if the main control board 90 detects that the voltage value of any rechargeable batteries 51 in the energy storage assembly 50 is higher than 4.2V, the main control board 90 controls the rechargeable batteries 51 to stop charging.
The differential pressure protection of the rechargeable batteries 51, that is, when the rechargeable batteries 51 are in a fully charged state, if the main control board 90 detects that the voltage value of any rechargeable batteries 51 is lower than a third preset voltage threshold value, the main control board 90 prohibits the charging and/or discharging of the rechargeable batteries 51. Specifically, the third preset voltage threshold value set in the main control board 90 is 3.73V, when the rechargeable batteries 51 are in a fully charged state, if the main control board 90 detects that the voltage value of any rechargeable batteries 51 is lower than 3.73V, the main control board 90 determines that the voltage difference among the single rechargeable batteries 51 is too great, the main control board 90 prohibits the charging and discharging of the rechargeable batteries 51 to lock the fault. Even if the main control board 90 is powered on again, it will still enter this protection mode.
The over-use protection of the rechargeable batteries 51, that is, when the main control board 90 detects that the rechargeable batteries 51 have been charged more than a preset number of times threshold, the main control board 90 prohibits the charging and/or discharging of the rechargeable batteries 51. Specifically, the preset number of times threshold set by the main control board 90 is 1000 times. When the charging socket 400 is charging the rechargeable batteries 51, if the main control board 90 detects that the rechargeable batteries 51 have been charged more than 1000 times, the main control board 90 determines that the rechargeable batteries 51 have been overused, and prohibits the charging and discharging of the rechargeable batteries 51 to lock the fault. Even if the main control board 90 is powered on again, it will still enter this protection mode.
When the blow dryer 100 is in the hot air mode, if the main control board 90 detects that the voltage of any rechargeable batteries 51 is lower than a fourth preset voltage threshold value, the main control board 90 controls the heating module assembly 80 to stop generating heat, and the motor 64 continues to work. The hot air mode means that when the motor 64 is working, the heating module 83 also works and generates heat. Specifically, the fourth preset voltage threshold value set in the main control board 90 is 3.1V When the blow dryer 100 is in the hot air mode, when the main control board 90 detects that the voltage value of any rechargeable batteries 51 is lower than 3.1V, the main control board 90 controls the heating module 83 to stop generating heat, and the motor 64 continues to work.
The above is the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the embodiments of the present disclosure. These improvements and modifications are also considered as the protection scope of the present disclosure.
