The power switch 106 is a pressing button. The second side surface and the third side surface are located at a position which can be operated by a thumb during holding, and the first side surface is located at a position which can be operated by four fingers (pressing operation) during holding. The invention adopts the pressing button, and the button position setting of the invention fully considers ergonomics and usage experience, so that the hair dryer is more convenient for users to operate, and switching of air gear, heat and the like can be realized with one hand.

[0046] A circuit board is arranged in the handle 102, a controller is arranged on the circuit board, and the circuit board is respectively connected to the heating device, the fan device, the power cord 101, the power switch 106, the air speed button 103, the heat button 104, the composite button 105, the airduct cold and heat switching button 109, the handle cold and heat switching button 1013 and the function display screen 107. The airduct cold and heat switching button 109 and the handle cold and heat switching button 1013 are connected to the circuit board in parallel. A temperature sensor is arranged on the heating device and is connected to the circuit board. An anemometer is arranged on the fan device and is connected to the circuit board. In the invention, connection control modes of all the buttons, the function display screen, the fan device, the heating device and the circuit board are all in the prior art, and air speed gears and heat gears are switched by the buttons. The function display screen 107 adopts a function display color screen and can display air speed and temperature in real time.

[0047] The composite button 105 is connected to a chip, and the chip is connected to the circuit board; and temperatures and air speeds under three modes of quick drying, modeling and shaping are recorded on the chip. The composite button 105 can switch the three modes of quick drying, modeling and shaping, each model switching including switching of air speed and heat, which can be realized by a plurality of keys in the traditional design. Air speed and heat under three modes of quick drying, modeling and shaping are recorded on the chip, including optimum temperature and air speed numerical parameters which are achieved through market research and site test used under three modes. During use, the hairstylist can sequentially realize the quick drying, modeling and shaping functions only by lightly touching the composite button 105. In the default state, that is, when the hairstylist turns on the hair dryer, the composite button 105 is in the quick drying mode; when the hairstylist presses the composite button 105, the hair dryer is in the modeling mode; and when the hairstylist presses the composite button 105 again, the hair dryer is in the shaping mode. When the composite button is pressed again, the hair dryer defaults the quick drying function. In this way, the operation time of the hairstylist, the number of the buttons and the space size at the handle of the hair dryer are saved. Optimal combination of various kinds of heat and air speed is realized by the composite button 105. It is especially helpful for the junior hairstylist. The hairstylists who have just entered the hair style design and hairdressing industries do not need to explore the temperature and air speed required by various models through long-time exploration.

[0048] Both the air speed button 103 and the heat button 104 are straight line-shaped. Two ends of the straight line shape can realize addition and subtraction of the air speed or heat through the circuit board, the air speed or heat is increased when the hairstylist presses the top of the straight-line-shaped button, and the air speed or heat is reduced when the hairstylist presses the bottom of the straight-line-shaped button; therefore, operation of the hairstylist is facilitated and the space of the handle of the hair dryer is saved.

[0049] For the cold and heat switching key, there is only one key on the handle in the traditional design, so that the hairstylist must operate the cold and heat switching key on the handle with the other hand to realize cold and heat switching if needing to perform cold and heat switching when holding the airduct to perform modeling and shaping operation during hairdressing. According to the invention, the cold and heat switching buttons are arranged on the handle and the airduct and the two buttons are connected in parallel, so that the hairstylist may press the airduct cold and heat switching button 109 with the holding hand to realize cold and heat switching when holding the airduct for hairdressing, and the hairstylist may also press the handle cold and heat switching button 1013 with the holding hand to realize cold and heat switching when performing operation by holding the handle with the hand. Through the double cold and heat switching switches, the problem that the hairstylist has to operate the cold and heat switches with double hands during hairdressing is solved conveniently.

[0058] The flow dividing platform 407 and the baffle plate 408 are arranged on the diffusing shell 404, the baffle plate 408 is arranged at the bottom of the flow dividing platform 407, and the baffle plate 408 and the magnetic part supporting rib reverse side 409 form a side surface gap flow channel; and gas flowing out of the fluffing and styling nozzle is from the middle air outlet hole 4010 and the side surface gap flow channel, gas flowing out of the middle air outlet hole 4010 enters the internal diffusing chamber 4011, gas flowing out of the side surface gap flow channel is guided by the baffle plate to side surfaces and edges of the mesh cylinder 405, and gases flowing out of the two portions flow out uniformly through mesh openings of the mesh cylinder 405.

[0059] The air outlet claw net 406 and the mesh cylinder 405 are provided with a plurality of mesh openings in axial directions and radial directions, and the mesh openings of the outlet claw net 406 correspond to the mesh openings of the mesh cylinder 405 in an overlapping portion; and a chamber formed between inner walls of the flow dividing platform 407 on the diffusing shell 404 is an internal diffusing chamber 4011. A cross section of the diffusing shell 404 is round and a side section view is trapezoidal. The elbows and a sieve are provided for reducing fluid flow; meanwhile, a main diffusing chamber 4013 and the internal diffusing chamber are provided for increasing the section area of the air outlet flow channel, and part of dynamic pressure of the air is converted into the static pressure, thereby entirely reducing the flow speed of the gas. The middle air outlet 4010 and surrounding air outlet gaps are provided for dividing gas, and the flow of the gas in each flow direction is controlled by adjusting the sizes of the middle air outlet hole 4010 and the surrounding air outlet gaps, so that air is output entirely and uniformly.

[0060] The first fixing device 401, the second fixing device 4012 and the third fixing device 4014 may adopt self-tapping screws without punching bottom holes and drilling wires.

[0061] The diffusing shell may adopt an ABS material or a PC material; and the mesh openings may be small round holes and may also be small square holes.

[0062] A frustum cap type flow dividing platform (hereinafter referred to as flow dividing platform 407) is arranged an inlet of the diffusing shell 404, the middle is punched, and the baffle plate 408 is arranged at the root of the flow dividing platform and forms a side surface gap flow channel with the magnet supporting rib reverse side 409. The gas is pressed into the fluffing and styling nozzle from an air duct of the hair dryer, enters the inlet of the diffusing shell 404 firstly, is divided on the flow dividing platform 407 to form many strands of gas flow, and the gas flow flows out of the middle air outlet hole 4010 and four sides of the flow dividing platform respectively. The flow dividing platform 407 blocks the front side of the gas except for the middle air outlet hole 4010, the gas has to change the flow direction to flow out from the side surface gap flow channel and from the middle air outlet hole 4010, and the gas energy is lost by the local resistance of the flow dividing platform 407. On the other hand, the baffle plate 408 at the root of the flow dividing platform 407 increases wind resistance and changes the flow direction of the gas, and is similar to an elbow to reduce the gas energy. Then, the gas (hereinafter referred as the middle outflow gas) flowing out of the middle air outlet hole 4010 enters the inner wall, namely the internal diffusing chamber, of the frustum cap type flow dividing platform. Due to the increase of the section area of the flow channel, the middle outflow gas diffuses and the flow speed is reduced. Gas (hereinafter referred as side outflow gas) flowing out of the four side surface gap flow channels enters into the mesh cylinder, the root of the mesh cylinder 405 is attached to the diffusing shell 404, and the side overflow gas only can flow out through the mesh openings in the front side and the side surfaces of the mesh cylinder 405. On one hand, the gas energy is reduced by the fine mesh openings of the mesh cylinder 405; and on the other hand, the flow becomes thinner, so that the outflow gas is more uniform. The middle outflow gas flows out of the internal diffusing chamber 4011 and enters into the mesh cylinder 405. Due to the mutual influence of the side overflow gas and the middle outflow gas, the gas passes through the fine mesh openings of the mesh cylinder 405 uniformly, similarly, the gas energy is further reduced. The side outflow gas and the middle outflow gas enter the main diffusing chamber 4013 after passing through the mesh cylinder 405. With the interaction between the gases and gradual increase of the inner section area of the main diffusing chamber 4013, the gas is entirely uniform and the speed is reduced. The wind resistance is further increased by the air outlet claw net 406 and the gas flow becomes thinner, so that the gas is output entirely uniformly at low speed.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 8, the temperature sensor 315 and the ceramic protective net 316 is arranged in the other end of the airduct 1010. The sensor bracket 314 is arranged on the airduct inner wall 1010, and the temperature sensor 315 is arranged on the sensor bracket 314.

[0064] The electric hair dryer has high power of a heating wire and has high radiation under alternating current. In addition, the air temperature of the traditional electric hair dryer blowing the hair has a great relationship with the distance between the hair and the air outlet. The temperature is low when the distance is long, and the temperature is high when the distance is short.

[0065] The power of the heating wire is adjusted instantaneously through infrared detection on the temperature of hair, so that the temperature of blowing the hair has little to do with a distance. That is, within a certain range, when the hairstylist blows the hair, the temperature of blowing the hair has nothing to do with the moving distance of the hand of the hairstylist, and is only related to an initial temperature set by the hairstylist. At this time, the power of the heating wire is adjusted constantly along with the operation of the hairstylist to achieve constant temperature, but when the electromagnetic radiation of the hearting wire is emitted through outlet, the ceramic protective net 316 will block the radiation, thereby realizing the effect of anti-radiation.

[0066] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that an azimuth or position relationship indicated by terms “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer” and the like is an azimuth or position relationship based on the accompanying drawings, which is only for facilitating description of the present application and simplifying description, but not indicates or implies that the referred device or component must have a specific azimuth and perform construction and operation in the specific azimuth; therefore, it cannot be interpreted as a limitation to the present application.
