DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATED IMPLEMENTATIONS
[0027] Technical solutions in the implementations of the present
disclosure will be described clearly and completely hereinafter
with reference to the accompanying drawings of the implementations
of the present disclosure. The described implementations are merely
some rather than all implementations of the present disclosure. All
other implementations obtained without creative efforts by those of
ordinary skill in the art based on the implementations of the
present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the
present disclosure.
[0028] FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of an automatic curler
for stereoscopic S-shaped curling according to an implementation of
the present disclosure.
[0029] The automatic curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling is
provided according an implementation of the present application.
The automatic curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling includes a
first handle 1, a second handle 8, and a heating plate. The first
handle 1 is in a strip shape as a whole. A first end of the first
handle 1 is hinged with a first end of the second handle 8. A hair
curling device is disposed at a side of a second end of the first
handle 1 facing the second handle 8. The hair curling device
includes a hair curling column 16 facing the second handle 8 and
vertically disposed on the first handle 1, and a hair hooking
portion 34 capable of rotating around the hair curling column 16
and connected with an electric actuator. A protective wall 40 is
provided around an outer periphery of the hair hooking portion 34.
The protective wall 40 has a first groove 41, and a bottom of the
first groove 41 is lower than a top of the hair hooking portion 34.
The heating plate includes a first heating plate 2 disposed at an
outer periphery of a bottom of the hair curling column 16, and a
second heating plate 3 disposed at a second end of the second
handle 8 and opposite to the first heating plate 2.
[0030] In an implementation, in order to facilitate the hair
hooking portion 34 to buckle the hair, the hair hooking portion has
a groove formed at an upstream side in a rotational direction of
the hair hooking portion 34. The hair held in the groove of the
hair hooking portion 34 does not easily fall out, which is
beneficial to wind the hair on the hair curling column 16.
[0031] In an implementation, when designing the protective wall 40,
the height of the protective wall 40 can be set not lower than the
height of the hair hooking portion 34. Of course, a slightly
shorter height than the height of the hair hooking portion 34 will
have little effect. The protective wall 40 may have a second
groove, and a bottom of the second groove is above a top of the
hair hooking portion 34. The second groove and the first groove 41
of the protective wall 40 cooperate with each other, which is more
convenient for the user. During the placing of hair in the curler,
the user only needs to pick a strand of hair and place the strand
of hair in the first groove 41 and the second groove.
[0032] The automatic curler provided according to the present
application can curl the hair on the hair curling column 16, and
then the first handle 1 and the second handle 8 cooperate to drive
the first heating plate 2 and the second heating plate 3 to clamp
and heat the hair on the hair curling column 16, such that the
automatic curler provided according to the present application can
curl an S-shaped three-dimensional hair shape that is different
from a conventional curler, and thus, curling can be conveniently
completed, and a curling styling different from that in the prior
art can be realized.
[0033] FIG. 2 is an exploded structural view of the automatic
curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling according to an
implementation of the present disclosure.
[0034] Based on the foregoing specific implementations, this
specific implementation will more specifically describe connections
and positional relationships of various components of the automatic
curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling. As shown in FIG. 2, it is
clearly illustrated that a first end of the second handle 8 is
provided with a power cord 12 that can be coupled to an external
power supply. In order to facilitate the installation of the power
cord, a tail cover 11 is provided. The tail cover 11 is snap-fitted
with the second handle 8. A PCB board 10 is disposed at a middle of
the second handle 8, and a second cover 9 encases the PCB board in
the second handle 8. The hair curling device and the second heating
plate 3 are disposed at the second end of the second handle 8. In
an implementation, a positioning plate 7 is provided at a bottom of
the second end of the second handle 8. The positioning plate 7 has
a positioning slot. An inner cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to
the positioning plate 7. The inner cylinder 6 is provided with a
gear 5 at an inner side of the inner cylinder 6. The gear 5 is
rotatable. The gear 5 is snap-fitted with and fixed to a ring body
4. The hair hooking portion 34 is a protrusion extending axially
from an edge of a ring body. In order to decrease the thickness of
the second handle 8, a motor 14 is arranged on a side of the
positioning plate 7 and is connected to the ring body 4 via the
gear 5 to drive the hair hooking portion 34 to rotate around the
hair curling column 16.
[0035] In an implementation, in order to facilitate switching a
power supply of the automatic curler for stereoscopic S-shaped
curling, a power switch of the automatic hair curler is disposed at
an inner side of one of the first handle 1 and the second handle 8
and opposite to the other. When the first handle 1 and the second
handle 2 cooperate with each other, the power switch is turned on.
In this way, when using the automatic curler for stereoscopic
S-shaped curling, there is no need to turn on the power switch
specially, as long as the first handle 1 and second handle 8 are
combined to be in a closed state.
[0036] It is noted that in order to decrease the damage to the hair
caused by the heating plate of the automatic curler for
stereoscopic S-shaped curling, a steam sprayer can also be disposed
at the second handle 8. Of course, the steam sprayer can also be
disposed at the first handle 1. In order to make the hair styling
more rounded, the hair curling column 16 can be formed into a
cylinder shape or an ellipse shape. Of course, the hair curling
column 16 can also be formed into other shapes, such as a square
column with rounded edges. In the specific manufacturing process,
the hair curling column 16 and the second heating plate 3 can be
integrated formed. Alternatively, the hair curling column 16 and
the second heating plate 3 can be manufactured separately, and the
hair curling column 16 and the second heating plate 3 are
detachably installed, such that various hair curling columns 16
with different cross sections can be used.
[0037] Based on the foregoing specific implementations, in this
specific implementation, in order to enable the hairstyles curled
by the automatic curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling to be
more variable, a surface of the first heating plate 2 can also be
formed into a smooth wavy shape, and a surface of the second
heating plate 3 corresponding to the surface of the first heating
plate 2 is in a shape matched with the surface of the first heating
plate 2. Of course, the surface of the first heating plate 2 and
the surface of the second heating plate 3 can also be formed in
other shapes. For example, the surface of the first heating plate 2
is in a convex arc-shape, the surface of the second heating plate 3
corresponding to the surface of the first heating plate 2 is in a
shape matched with the surface of the first heating plate 2.
[0038] Based on the foregoing specific implementations, in this
specific implementation, the hair curling column 16 is provided
with an elastic device extending in an axial direction of the hair
curling column 16. The elastic device can provide elastic buffering
when the first handle 1 and the second handle 8 are cooperated to
combine, such that the damage to the automatic curler for
stereoscopic S-shaped curling is prevented, and at the same time,
the first heating plate 2 and the second heating plate 3 can hold
the hair more tightly, and can adapt to the holding and styling of
different hair volumes.
[0039] FIG. 3 is a schematic view of holding hair using the
automatic curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling according to an
implementation of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a partial
cross-sectional schematic view of holding hair using the automatic
curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling according to an
implementation of the present disclosure. FIG. 5 is a schematic
partial cross-sectional view of a hair curling using the automatic
curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling according to an
implementation of the present application. FIG. 6 is a
cross-sectional view of hair curling completed by using the
automatic curler for stereoscopic S-shaped curling according to an
implementation of the present disclosure.
[0040] When using the automatic curler for stereoscopic S-shaped
curling provided according to the above specific implementations,
the hair is first placed in the first groove 41 and the second
groove, the electric actuator is activated to drive the hair
hooking portion 34 to rotate around the hair curling column 16, so
as to wind the hair around the hair curling column 16 to form a
spindle, and then the first handle 1 and the second handle 8
cooperate to combine, and the first heating plate 2 and the second
heating plate 3 are controlled to heat the spindle.
[0041] Finally, it should also be noted that relational terms, such
as first and second, etc. are used herein to distinguish one entity
or operation from another entity or operation without necessarily
