[0122] The protrusion 1322 can be integrally formed with the handle shell 132, or can be fixedly connected with the handle shell 132 by means of bonding, welding, clamping or the like. In order to simplify the manufacturing process and the overall aesthetics of the handle shell 132, in this embodiment, the protrusion 1322 is integrally formed with the handle shell 132. When the protrusion 1322 is engaged with the second working hole 1312, the end surface of the handle shell 132 abuts against the air cylinder shell 131. At the same time, the connection between the inner support 133 and the air cylinder shell 131 as well as the air cylinder 11 is just completed. When the end surface of the handle shell 132 abuts against the air cylinder shell 131, there is no small gap at a butt joint. Water and dust impurities cannot penetrate into the interior of the hair dryer 1100, and the hair dryer 1100 is not affected by the impurities and can work normally.
[0123] In order to improve the overall aesthetics and texture of the hair dryer 1100, in this embodiment, the air cylinder shell 131 and the handle shell 132 are both integrally formed, and a material of the air cylinder shell 131 and/or the handle shell 132 is metal. Of course, in other embodiments, the air cylinder shell 131 and the handle shell 132 can also be separately arranged and then clipped, welded, and bonded to form a receiving cavity. The present application will not go into details here, and it will be determined according to the actual situation. However, there will be a gap in the air cylinder shell 131 and the handle shell 132 produced in this case, which affects the aesthetics. Moreover, forming the air cylinder shell 131 and the handle shell 132 in one piece can improve the sealing performance of the shell of the hair dryer 1100, effectively reduce the probability of water, dust and other impurities entering the interior of the hair dryer 1100, which is of great significance for improving the service life of the hair dryer 1100.
[0124] In the present application, the air cylinder shell 131 is detachably connected to the inner support 133 and the handle shell 132 respectively, so as to reduce the difficulty of installing the hair dryer 1100 as a whole. At the same time, it can also ensure the overall centering of the hair dryer 1100, thereby improving the aesthetics and integrity of the overall appearance of the hair dryer 1100.

[0130] The shapes of the first working hole 1311 and the second working hole 1312 are determined according to actual conditions. Correspondingly, the shape of the protrusion 1322 also needs to be changed accordingly. The above-mentioned first fastener, the second fastener and the third fastener may be screws, fastening pins, etc., which are not specifically limited here, and are determined according to actual conditions.
[0131] In summary, by setting the inner support 133 and the air cylinder shell 131 to be detachably connected, after the air cylinder 11 and the air cylinder shell 131 are fixedly connected, the inner support 133 is first connected with the air cylinder shell 131 and then directly mated with the air cylinder shell 131. This ensures that the installation position of the inner support 133 is not offset, thereby ensuring that the installation position of the handle shell is not offset, the installation is fast and convenient, and at the same time, it is easy to control.
[0132] The handle shell 132 is provided with a protrusion 1322 which is engaged with the air cylinder shell 131. When the protrusion 1322 passes through the air cylinder shell 131 to be fastened and fixed with the air cylinder shell 131, the end surface of the handle shell 132 abuts against the air cylinder shell 131. This does not need to be installed and fixed by screws, which is fast and convenient, and also improves the aesthetics and integrity of the overall appearance of the hair dryer 1100.
[0133] Both the air cylinder shell 131 and the handle shell 132 are integrally formed, and the air cylinder shell 131 and/or the handle shell 132 are made of metal. While improving the aesthetics of the overall appearance of the hair dryer 1100, the overall texture of the hair dryer 1100 is also improved, and the user experience is improved.
[0134] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to simplify the description, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of the description in this specification.
[0135] The above-mentioned embodiments only represent several embodiments of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are specific and detailed, but should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can also be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
[0136] The air cylinder of the hair dryer and the handle are connected by assembling. The design of the connection structure between the air cylinder and the handle of the hair dryer on the market is unreasonable, and there are problems of poor connection stability and reliability, and it is not easy to assemble. This greatly affects the performance and appearance of the hair dryer. In view of this, the present application provides a hair dryer.
[0137] Referring to
[0138] In the above manner, the handle shell 2200 in the present application can be installed at the communication port 2120 of the air cylinder 2100 through the cooperation between the shell snap structure 2210 and the air cylinder snap structure 2111. During the mating process of the shell snap structure 2210 and the air cylinder snap structure 2111, circumferential positioning and axial snap-fit between the air cylinder 2100 and the handle shell 2200 can be achieved. Therefore, the connection between the air cylinder 2100 and the handle shell 2200 in the present application is stable and reliable, and the installation is convenient.
[0139] In an embodiment, the air cylinder snap structure 2111 includes an insertion slot M and a snap slot N formed on the mounting rib plate 2110. The shell snap structure 2210 includes an insertion block Q and a buckle P arranged on the top of the handle shell 2200. Wherein, the insertion block Q is matched with the insertion slot M, and the buckle P is matched with the snap slot N. Referring to
[0140] Considering that the existing handle shell is combined of two half shells of roughly the same size, and the outside is fixed with screws, in the hair dryer with this structure, the exposed screws are easily rusted by the influence of the external humid environment. Exposed screw holes cause an unsightly appearance. In view of this, the handle assembly in the present application includes a handle shell 2200 and a handle inner frame 2300 supporting an electronic control component. The handle shell 2200 is an elongated cylinder with a hollow interior and a generally cylindrical shape. The handle inner frame 2300 is built in the handle shell 2200. Referring to
[0141] The handle inner frame 2300 is detachably disposed in the handle shell 2200. An inner space of the handle shell 2200 is divided into a first semi-cylindrical area and a second semi-cylindrical area. The handle inner frame 2300 is located in the second semi-cylindrical area. The shell snap structure 2210 is located in the first semi-cylindrical area.
[0142] Further, in order to improve the connection strength and the centering of the handle assembly and the air cylinder 2100, the top of the handle inner frame 2300 is provided with an inner frame central fastening structure 2310. The mounting rib plate 2110 is also provided with an air cylinder central fastening structure 2112 which is matched with the inner frame central fastening structure 2310. The handle inner frame 2300 is connected to the air cylinder 2100 through the matching relationship between the inner frame central fastening structure 2310 and the air cylinder central fastening structure 2112, thereby effectively improving the connection strength and centering of the handle assembly and the air cylinder 2100.
[0143] Specifically, referring to
[0144] In order to make the handle assembly and the air cylinder 2100 have better centering, the central positioning post 2311 is set as a square cylinder. The central positioning hole 21121 is arranged in the shape of a square hole matched with the central positioning post 2311.
[0145] In an embodiment, the handle shell 2200 and the handle inner frame 2300 are detachably connected through a circumferential positioning structure and an end surface positioning and fastening structure. The circumferential positioning structure is located on the top and bottom of the handle assembly. The end face positioning and fastening structure is located at the bottom of the handle assembly. Therefore, the assembly of the handle shell 2200 and the handle inner frame 2300 can be facilitated, and the connection reliability and stability between the handle shell 2200 and the handle inner frame 2300 can be effectively improved.
[0146] Specifically, the circumferential positioning structure is composed of a top circumferential positioning substructure and a bottom circumferential positioning substructure. Referring to
[0147] Specifically, referring to
[0148] In an embodiment, referring to
[0149] In the above manner, the sealing member 2400 in the present application is blocked at the communication port 2120, which effectively isolates the air cylinder 2100 and the handle assembly, and can prevent the airflow in the air cylinder 2100 from entering the handle assembly. Therefore, the loss of air volume in the air cylinder 2100 is avoided, and the air tightness between the air cylinder 2100 and the handle assembly is significantly improved. The wiring structure on the sealing member 2400 enables the cable in the handle assembly to pass through to the air cylinder 2100. While ensuring airtightness, the wiring between the air cylinder 2100 and the handle assembly is also ensured.
[0150] In an embodiment, considering that most of the space inside the air cylinder 2100 is used for installing a motor, a fan wheel and a heating wire assembly, there are fewer electronic control components. A main electronic control board is installed in the handle assembly. Multiple cables in the handle assembly need to be connected to the air cylinder 2100 from the electric control board in the handle assembly, so as to realize the power supply and control of the motor and the heating wire assembly. In view of this, the wiring structure is at least one wiring hole 2410 formed on the sealing member 2400. The wiring holes 2410 are arranged at intervals. The above-mentioned wiring holes 2410 are used to organize the multiple cables from the handle assembly to the inside of the air cylinder 2100, so as to distinguish the cables that can generate high voltage from the cables that can generate low voltage. As a result, the electromagnetic interference problem caused by the passage of multiple cables through a single wiring hole 2410 is avoided.
[0151] It can be understood that, referring to
[0152] In an embodiment, the sealing member 2400 is a flexible soft member, which has good elastic deformation ability, and can cooperate well with the communication port 2120 to improve the air tightness between the air cylinder 2100 and the handle assembly. The sealing member 2400 may be made of flexible materials such as rubber or silicone. During installation, the sealing member 2400 is directly snapped at the communication port 2120. The contact surface between the sealing member 2400 and the communication port 2120 is an interference fit, which has the advantages of stable and reliable connection.
[0153] Further, considering the positioning problem of the sealing member 2400 in the axial direction, a convex rib 2121 growing along the radial direction is fixed on the inner wall of the communication port 2120. Referring to
[0154] In an embodiment, the cable connecting a negative ion generator and an emitting needle is a cable capable of generating high voltage, which is referred to as a high-voltage cable herein. The negative ion generator is arranged in the handle assembly. The emitting needle is located inside the air cylinder 2100. In order to ensure the accuracy of the position of the emitting needle, the stability of the high-voltage cable must be ensured. Please continue to refer to

[0175] In this embodiment, for the convenience of positioning, the first circumferential positioning structure 4612 is set as a protrusion formed at the first locking shoulder 46111 and growing along the radial direction of the first locking shoulder 46111. The second circumferential positioning structure 4132 is set as a groove formed at an edge of the mounting hole 41311. During installation, the circumferential positioning can be completed only by aligning the above-mentioned protrusion with the above-mentioned groove, which has the advantages of simple structure, convenient alignment and convenient installation.
[0176] Further, referring to
[0177] A push button hole 4140 for accommodating the pressing block 4520 is provided on the side wall of the handle shell 4110. When the pressing block 4520 is in a reset state, the outer end surface of the pressing block 4520 is flush with the side wall of the handle shell 4110, or slightly convex on the side wall of the handle shell 4110, or slightly concave on the side wall of the handle shell 4110.

[0179] Further, the pressing block 4520 includes a base body formed with a cover groove 4521 and a light-shielding button cover 4522 fastened in the cover groove 4521. The base body of the pressing block 4520 is made of light-transmitting material, so as to form an annular light strip in the circumferential direction of the button cover 4522. In this embodiment, LED lights are also arranged on the electric control board. Each time the push button 4500 triggers the push switch 4800, the color of the LED lights changes accordingly. Different colors of LED lights represent different wind temperatures. The base body of the pressing block 4520, the locking structure 4510 and the support member 4600 are all made of transparent light-transmitting materials, so that the base body of the pressing block 4520, the locking structure 4510 and the support member 4600 can change with the colors of the LED lights. Therefore, it is realized that the air temperature is judged by the color of the annular light strip, which has the advantages of convenient use and beautiful appearance.
[0180] It can be understood that the push button assembly in the present application can be applied to different usage scenarios, and the following examples are used for description.
[0181] The push button assembly of the present application can be applied to a hair dryer. The hair dryer includes the push button assembly, the handle 4100 provided with the push button assembly, and a blower located above handle 4100 and connected to handle 4100. In a direction from the air inlet of the blower to the air outlet of the blower, an air inlet cover, a fan wheel, a motor, a heating wire assembly and an air outlet cover are sequentially arranged inside the blower. The push button assembly can be adjusted by the switch 4200 to realize the on-off control of the motor and the heating wire assembly, and the adjustment of the motor speed.
[0182] It can be understood that the above specific applications are only examples of the push button assembly in the present application, and those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments according to the actual situation, which will not be repeated here.
[0183] In summary, the push button in the present application is snapped to the sliding member through the cooperation between the first snap structure and the second snap structure, so as to realize the gear adjustment of the adjustment switch. By setting the width dimensions of the pair of snap portions differently, the efficiency and accuracy of installation are improved.
[0184] The first ribs distributed along the axial direction of the handle are arranged on the inner wall of the push button to reduce the contact area between the inner wall of the push button and the outer wall of the handle, thereby reducing the frictional resistance when the push button moves. In the present application, the connecting line between any point on the protruding strip and any point on the trigger portion is set at the included angle M with the axial direction of the handle.
[0185] In this way, the push button can be pushed even when a small force is applied, which effectively improves the comfort of use. The push button in the present application is arranged on the handle through the support member, and there are reserved gaps between the push button and the support member, and between the push button and the outer side wall of the handle. As a result, the push button and the support member have better centering, thereby ensuring that the push button is not easily stuck.
[0186] Although the embodiments of the present application have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the description and the embodiments, and can be applied to various fields suitable for the present application. Additional modifications can readily be implemented by those skilled in the art. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific details and illustrations shown and described herein without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents.
