The present disclosure relates to the technology field of blow dryers, and in particular to a wireless blow dryer.
Existing blow dryers generally include a handle and an air duct arranged at one end of the handle. The air duct is provided with an electric heating assembly and a fan assembly, and the handle is provided with a rechargeable battery. One end of the air duct is provided with an air inlet, and an opposite end of the air duct is provided with an air outlet. Rotation of the fan causes airflow to flow in from the air inlet, and then discharge from the air outlet after passing through the air duct. However, the rechargeable battery occupies a larger space in the handle, thus increasing an external diameter of the handle, and difficultly carrying for the user.
The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a wireless blow dryer through which reduces an external diameter of the handle, and easily carries for the user.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a wireless blow dryer includes an air duct, a handle, and an energy storage assembly. The air duct is provided with the air outlet channel. The handle comprises a connecting end connected to the air duct and a free end opposite to the connecting end; an outer surface of the free end of the handle is provided with an air inlet along a circumferential direction of the handle. The handle is provided with the air inlet channel in air communication with the air inlet and the air outlet channel. The energy storage assembly includes an energy storage module arranged in the air duct and a charging connector electrically connected with the energy storage module. The charging connector is arranged at the free end of the handle.
In order to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clearly, the accompanying drawings that need to be used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are merely some embodiments of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained based on these accompanying drawings without paying creative work.
