The following describes a tuyere and hair care appliance according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a tuyere provided by an embodiment of the present application, fig. 2 is a schematic internal structural view of the tuyere provided by the embodiment of the present application, fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of the tuyere in a flattened state provided by the embodiment of the present application, and fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of the tuyere in a direct blowing state provided by the embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4, a tuyere provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a casing 10 and a switching member 50.
The surface of the casing 10 is provided with an air outlet 11 and an air inlet 12, a first air channel 20 and a second air channel 30 are formed in the casing 10, a first outlet 21 of the first air channel 20 and a second outlet 31 of the second air channel 30 are communicated with the air outlet 11, and a first inlet 22 of the first air channel 20 and a second inlet 32 of the second air channel 30 are arranged adjacent to the air inlet 12. The switching member 50 is rotatably connected to the casing 10 about an axis, and the switching member 50 is configured to selectively close the first inlet 22 and the second inlet 32 when rotated.
The width dimension of the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 along the first direction F is greater than the opening dimension of the air inlet 12 along the first direction F, and the air inlet 12 is used for air inlet to a position between two ends of at least one of the first inlet 22 and the second inlet 32 along the first direction F. The width dimension of the first air duct 20 in the first direction F may be, for example, the width dimension of the first air duct 20 in the first direction F in the portion of the duct section immediately adjacent to the first inlet 22. The width dimension of the second duct 30 in the first direction F refers to the width dimension of the portion of the second duct 30 immediately adjacent the second inlet 32 in the first direction F.
In the present embodiment, the first inlet 22, the second inlet 32, and the air intake 12 are disposed adjacent to each other and each have a certain size in the first direction F. The first direction F may be, for example, parallel to the axis of rotation of the switch 50, and the first inlet 22 and the second inlet 22 may be, for example, elongated inlets extending along the axis of rotation of the switch 50.
In addition, for convenience of description, the air intake direction of the air intake 12 is defined as a second direction S, that is, the height direction of the air duct body 40.
By arranging the first air duct 20, the second air duct 30 and the switching member 50 in the casing 10, the switching member 50 is rotatably connected in the casing 10 around an axis, the switching member 50 is configured to selectively close the first inlet 22 and the second inlet 32 when rotated, and the wind of the air inlet 12 can enter the second air duct 30 through the second inlet 32 and flow out through the second outlet 31 and the air outlet 11 as long as the switching member 50 is rotated to close the first inlet 22. By turning the switching member 50 to close the second inlet 32, the air of the air inlet 12 can enter the first air duct 20 through the first inlet 22 and flow out through the first outlet 21 and the air outlet 11, so that the switching of the two air ducts can be realized with a simpler switching structure.
Since the width dimensions of the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 along the first direction F are both larger than the opening dimensions of the air intake 12 along the first direction F, in other words, the opening dimensions of the first inlet 22 and the second inlet 32 along the first direction F are both larger than the opening dimensions of the air intake 12 along the first direction F, when the air intake 12 is blown into the end position of the first inlet 22 or the first direction F of the second inlet 32, the air intake of the first inlet 22 is gradually attenuated at a position further from the end position of the first inlet 22 due to wind resistance, which also results in that the air intake of the first outlet 21 along the first direction F is very uneven.
In the present application, the air intake 12 is fed to the position between the two ends of at least one of the first inlet 22 and the second inlet 32 in the first direction F, and the distance between the air intake position and the two ends of the first inlet 22 is reduced, and the attenuation amount of the air intake is not as large from the air intake position to the two ends of the first inlet 22, in other words, the air intake amount entering from the first inlet 22 is relatively uniform in the first direction F compared with the air intake position at any one end of the first direction F (the end includes at least one of the upper, lower, front, rear, side and/or circumferential surfaces at any one end of the first direction F), so that the uniformity of the air intake in the first direction F in the first outlet 21 is improved to some extent. The case of the air intake 12 taking in air to the second inlet 32 at a position between the two ends along the first direction F is similar to the above, and will not be described here again.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first air duct 20 includes a first main air duct 23 and a first extension air duct 24 connected to each other, and the second air duct 30 includes a second main air duct 33 and a second extension air duct 34 connected to each other.
The tuyere 100 further comprises an air duct body 40 arranged on the inner wall of the casing 10, wherein the first main air duct 23 and the second main air duct 33 are layered in the air duct body 40 along the second direction S, and the outlets of the first main air duct 23 and the second main air duct 33 respectively form a first outlet 21 and a second outlet 31. The first direction F is perpendicular to the second direction S. The partial channel section of the second main air duct 33 near the outlet thereof is bent in a direction away from the first main air duct 23.
So arranged, by forming the first main air duct 23 and the second main air duct 33 of the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 near the air outlet 11 in one air duct body 40, it is convenient to flexibly set the shapes of the first main air duct 23 and the second main air duct 33 according to actual use functions. The partial channel section of the second main air duct 33 near the outlet thereof is bent in a direction away from the first main air duct 23, so that the wind blown out from the second main air duct 33 has a smoothing effect. Of course, a part of the passage section of the first main air duct 23 near the outlet thereof is provided as a straight section, and the wind blown out from the first main air duct 23 can exert a direct blowing effect.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, a portion of the channel section of the first main duct 23 near the outlet thereof may be bent in a direction away from the second main duct 33, so that the wind blown out from the first main duct 23 may have a smoothing effect. Of course, a portion of the passage section of the second main air duct 33 near the outlet thereof is provided as a straight section, and the wind blown out from the second main air duct 33 can exert a direct blowing effect.
In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the first main air channels 23 is plural, and the plural first main air channels 23 are arranged in a row along the first direction F. The number of the second main air ducts 33 is plural, and the second main air ducts 33 are arranged in a row along the first direction F.
So set up, under the same circumstances of intake, can make the wind velocity in each main wind channel all faster, and more even, strengthened the effect of blowing.
In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2, the air inlet 12 enters the first inlet 22 and the second inlet 32 at the central position along the first direction F.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an air duct body in a tuyere according to an embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 5, the opening area of the inlet 231 of each first main duct is configured to gradually increase in order from the central position in the first direction F to the positions at both ends in the first direction F.
Further, the opening area of the inlet 331 of each second main air duct is configured to gradually increase in order from the center position in the first direction F to the positions at both ends in the first direction F.
Similarly to the above, the greater the wind resistance at the position farther from the center position, the smaller the amount of air intake, and by providing as above, the attenuation of the amount of air intake at the position near the end of the duct body 40 can be made up, so that the amount of air intake is more uniform in the entire area in the first direction F.
In particular, the opening size of the inlet 231 of each first main air duct in the first direction F is configured to gradually increase in order from the central position in the first direction F to the positions at both ends in the first direction F.
Further, the opening size of the inlet 331 of each second main air duct in the first direction F is configured to gradually increase in order from the central position in the first direction F to the both end positions in the first direction F.
In some embodiments, the opening size of the inlet 231 of each first main duct in the second direction S is configured to gradually increase in order from the central position in the first direction F to the positions at both ends in the first direction F. In some embodiments, the second direction S is perpendicular to the first direction, and the second direction S is the height direction of the air duct body 40.
Further, the opening size of the inlet 331 of each second main air duct in the second direction S is configured to gradually increase in order from the central position in the first direction F to the both end positions in the first direction F.
In the embodiment of the present application, the air duct body 40 includes a body 41 and a wind deflector 42;
Each of the first main air ducts 23 and each of the second main air ducts 33 are formed in the body 41, and a plurality of first air holes 421 and a plurality of second air holes 422 are formed in the wind deflector 42.
The first air holes 421 communicate with the respective first main air ducts 23 in one-to-one correspondence, and the first air holes 421 form inlets 231 of the first main air ducts. The second air holes 422 are communicated with the second main air ducts 33 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second air holes 422 form inlets 331 of the second main air ducts.
In this way, when the sizes of the inlets 231 of the respective first main air ducts are different, the channel sizes of the respective first main air ducts 23 may be the same, and it is only necessary to set the sizes of the first air holes 421 on the wind deflector 42 to be different. Similarly, when the sizes of the inlets 231 of the respective first main air ducts are different, the channel sizes of the respective second main air ducts 33 may be the same, and the sizes of the second air holes 422 in the wind deflector 42 may be set to be different. The processing of the main body can be simplified.
In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2 and 3, two barrier ribs 14 are disposed on the inner wall of the casing 10, and the two barrier ribs 14 are disposed opposite to each other along the second direction S.
The two blocking strips 14 are both blocked and arranged on one side of the air duct body 40, which is far away from the air outlet 11, so as to fix the air duct body 40 in the casing 10.
Thus, the duct body 40 can be fixed with a simple structure. The air duct body 40 may extend in the first direction F.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the air outlet 11 includes a first sub-air outlet 111 and a second sub-air outlet 112, the first sub-air outlet 111 being in communication with the outlet of each first main air duct 23, and the second sub-air outlet 112 being in communication with the outlet of each second main air duct 33. In other words, the first sub-air outlet 111 is disposed corresponding to the first main air duct 23, and the second sub-air outlet 112 is disposed corresponding to the second main air duct 33. The first sub-air outlet 111 and the second sub-air outlet 112 extend along the first direction F, and the first sub-air outlet 111 and the second sub-air outlet 112 are disposed at intervals along the second direction S.
In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 3, 5 and 6, the switching member 50 includes a switching shaft 51 and a switching plate 52 coupled to a circumferential surface of the switching shaft 51. The switching shaft 51 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the casing 10 about the axis described above.
The surface of the duct body 40 is further provided with a partition plate 43, and the partition plate 43 is positioned between the inlet 231 of the first main duct and the inlet 331 of the second main duct and abuts against the circumferential surface of the switching shaft 51.
The duct body 40, the switching shaft 51 and the inner wall of the casing 10 together define an annular channel H in which at least a portion of the channel section between one surface of the partition 43 (e.g., the upper surface in fig. 3) and the air intake 12 forms the first elongated duct 24. At least a portion of the channel section between the other surface of the partition 43 (e.g., the lower surface in fig. 3) and the intake 12 forms a second elongate air duct 34.
In this way, the switching shaft 51 and the partition plate 43 are utilized to cut out a part of the annular channel H defined in the casing 10 as the first extension air duct 24 and the second extension air duct 34 respectively, and components (such as the air duct body 40) with channels formed therein are not needed to be arranged in the casing 10, so that the structure in the casing 10 is compact, and the number of components is small.
The partition plate 43 may be fixed to the wind deflector 42 of the duct body 40, for example, or the partition plate 43 and the wind deflector 42 may be integrally formed. Specifically, the partition plate 43 is fixed or formed on the side of the wind deflector 42 facing away from the body 41 and extends toward the switching shaft 51, and one end of the partition plate 43 near the switching shaft 51 is designed to conform to the structure of the circumferential surface of the switching shaft 51 and accommodate the rotation of the switching member 50.
In particular, for example, a spacer 431 may be provided at an end portion of the separator 43, and a contour shape of a side surface of the spacer 431 facing the switching shaft 51 may be matched with an outer peripheral surface of the switching shaft 51.
Thus, when the diaphragm 43 abuts on the switching shaft 51, the rotation of the switching shaft 51 is not hindered or affected, and the sealability between the first extension passage and the second extension passage is increased. Of course, the spacer 431 is sized to accommodate smooth rotation of the switching member 50.
With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, the inner wall of the casing 10 is provided with a first stop wall 13, the air duct body 40 is provided with a second stop wall 44, and the air inlet 12 is located between the first stop wall 13 and the second stop wall 44. The first stop wall 13 defines the first inlet 22 and the second stop wall 44 defines the second inlet 32.
As described above, the duct body 40, the switching shaft 51 and the inner wall of the casing 10 together define an annular channel H, in which a part of the channel section is used as the first extended duct 24 and a part of the channel section is used as the second extended duct 34. In the annular channel H, a portion of the channel section between one surface (e.g., the upper surface in fig. 3) of the partition plate 43 and the first stopper wall 13 forms the first extended air passage 24. At least a portion of the channel section between the other surface of the partition 43 (e.g., the lower surface in fig. 3) and the second stop wall 44 forms the second elongate air channel 34. While the portion formed between the first and second blocking walls 13 and 44 communicates with the air intake 12. In other words, after the wind entering through the wind inlet 12 passes through the area between the first blocking wall 13 and the second blocking wall 44, the wind enters the first inlet 22 and the second inlet 32 alternatively.
The switching plate 52 abuts the first stopper wall 13 and the second stopper wall 44, respectively, when rotating around the axis. When the switching plate 52 abuts against the first stopper wall 13, the first inlet 22 is closed. When the switching plate 52 abuts against the second stopper wall 44, the second inlet 32 is closed.
Since the air intake 12 is located between the first stopper wall 13 and the second stopper wall 44, the first stopper wall 13 is located in a passage section between one surface of the partition 43 and the air intake 12, the second stopper wall 44 is located in a passage section between the other surface of the partition 43 and the air intake 12, and the switching plate 52 cooperates with the first stopper wall 13 and the second stopper wall 44 to form the first inlet 22 at the first stopper wall 13 and the second inlet 32 at the second stopper wall 44.
In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2, the air inlet 12 is formed on the bottom wall of the casing 10, the switching shaft 51 is disposed at a position spaced apart from the bottom wall of the casing 10 in the casing 10, so that the air inlet 12 and the switching shaft 51 are arranged at intervals along the second direction S, and the air inlet 12 and the switching shaft 51 are both located on the same side of the air duct body 40, and the distance between the air inlet 12 and the inlet 331 of the second main air duct is smaller than the distance between the air inlet 12 and the inlet 231 of the first main air duct.

Fig. 8 is a schematic structural view of an operating assembly in a flattened state of a tuyere provided by an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 9 is a schematic structural view of an operating assembly in a direct blowing state of a tuyere provided by an embodiment of the present application.
The state of fig. 8 corresponds to fig. 3, and the state of fig. 9 corresponds to fig. 4. For the sake of convenience of observation, the transmission disc 53 in fig. 8 and 9 is moved a distance away from the liner cap 17 along the axial direction of the switching shaft 51.
In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 3, 4, 8 and 9, the casing 10 further includes a liner cover 17, the liner cover 17 is connected to the casing 10, the switching shaft 51 penetrates the liner cover 17, and the liner cover 17 is disposed opposite to the driving disc 53.
The driving disc 53 drives the switching shaft 51 to rotate, the rotating position of the driving disc 53 relative to the lining cover 17 has a first position as shown in fig. 3 and 8, a second position as shown in fig. 4 and 9, and a third position, and after the driving disc 53 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise by a certain angle relative to the lining cover 17 from the third position, the driving disc 53 rotates to the first position and the second position respectively. Of course, the third position may be a central position between the first position and the second position, i.e., the driving disk 53 is rotated to the first position and the second position, respectively, after being rotated by the same angle from the third position counterclockwise or clockwise with respect to the liner cap 17.
When the driving disc 53 is in the first position, the switching plate 52 closes the first inlet 22, and when the driving disc 53 is rotated to the second position, the switching plate 52 closes the second inlet 32.
The operating assembly 60 further includes an elastic member 80, the elastic member 80 being connected to the driving disk 53 and the lining cover 17, respectively, the elastic member 80 being configured to always apply a clockwise torque to the rotating disk when the driving disk 53 is between the first position and the third position, and the elastic member 80 being further configured to always apply a counterclockwise torque to the rotating disk when the driving disk 53 is between the second position and the third position.
So set up, when switching, when the manual operation knob 61 of operating personnel makes the driving disk 53 rotate, if the driving disk is located between first position and third position, if the operating personnel does not operate knob 61, driving disk 53 can switch to first position under the clockwise moment of torsion of elastic component 80, because switch plate 52 keeps off on first backstop wall 13 this moment, even though the operating personnel no longer operates, driving disk 53 can still rest at first position under this clockwise moment of torsion effect, keeps the closed state of first entry 22. In the same way, when the operator manually operates the knob 61 to rotate the driving disc 53, if the driving disc 53 is located between the second position and the third position, and if the operator does not operate the knob 61, the driving disc 53 will switch to the second position under the action of the counterclockwise torque of the elastic member 80, and since the switching plate 52 is blocked on the second blocking wall 44 at this time, even if the operator does not operate any more, the driving disc 53 will always stop at the second position under the action of the counterclockwise torque, and the closed state of the second inlet 32 will be maintained.
In the embodiment of the present application, when the motion of the driving disk 43 is deduced to the switching member 50, the switching member 50 has a first rotational position, a second rotational position, and a third rotational position between the first rotational position and the second rotational position with respect to the lining cover 17. The first rotational position of the switching member 50 corresponds to the first position of the driving disc 53, the second rotational position of the switching member 50 corresponds to the second position of the driving disc 53, and the third rotational position of the switching member 50 corresponds to the third position of the driving disc 53.
On the basis of this, the switching element 50 closes the first inlet 22 in the first rotational position, and the switching element 50 closes the second inlet 32 in the second rotational position.
The elastic member 80 is configured to always apply a clockwise torque to the switching member 50 when the switching member 50 is between the first rotational position and the third rotational position, and the elastic member 80 is further configured to always apply a counterclockwise torque to the switching member 50 when the switching member 50 is between the second rotational position and the third rotational position.
So configured, when the switching member 50 is positioned between the first rotational position and the third rotational position during switching, the switching member 50 is switched to the first rotational position by the clockwise torque of the elastic member 80, and the first inlet 22 is closed. Similarly, when the switching member 50 is located between the second rotational position and the third rotational position, the switching member 50 will be switched to the second rotational position by the counterclockwise torque of the elastic member 80, and the second inlet 32 is closed. The switching and locking of the switching member 50 between the first rotational position and the second rotational position can be accomplished by the elastic member 80 alone, and the structure is simple and the operation is also relatively simple.
In an embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 9, the elastic member 80 is a torsion spring including a torsion spring main body 801, a first connection arm 81, and a second connection arm 82.
The first connecting arm 81 and the second connecting arm 82 extend radially outward from the torsion spring body 801 from the end of the torsion spring body 801, and the first connecting arm 81 and the second connecting arm 82 have a predetermined angle. The first connecting arm 81 is connected to the liner cap 17, and the second connecting arm 82 is connected to the driving disk 53.
As such, the elastic member 80 may apply an elastic force toward the first position to the driving disk 53 when the driving disk 53 is between the first position and the third position, and apply an elastic force toward the second position to the driving disk 53 when the driving disk 53 is between the second position and the third position.
In the embodiment of the present application, with continued reference to fig. 9, the ends of the first connecting arm 81 and the second connecting arm 82 are provided with a first mounting ring 811 and a second mounting ring 821, respectively. The inner cover 17 and the driving disk 53 are provided with a first mounting post 171 and a second mounting post 533 on surfaces thereof facing each other, respectively, and the first mounting post 171 and the second mounting post 533 are provided at different positions in the radial direction of the switching shaft 51, respectively.
The first mounting ring 811 is mounted on the first mounting post 171 and the second mounting ring 821 is mounted on the second mounting post 533. Note that, in fig. 9, for the sake of convenience of observation, the transmission disk 53 is moved away from the lining cover 17 by a certain distance, and the second mount ring 821 and the second mount post 533 are in a disengaged state.
This arrangement allows the first and second connecting arms 81, 82 of the torsion spring to be securely mounted on the inner cover 17 and the drive disk 53, respectively.
In the embodiment of the present application, the surface of the inner liner cover 17 facing the driving disc 53 is provided with a sliding groove 534, and when the driving disc 53 rotates, the second mounting post 533 slides in the sliding groove 534. The slide groove 534 has a first side groove wall 5341 and a second side groove wall 5342 which are disposed opposite to each other in the sliding direction.
The second mounting post 533 abuts the first side slot wall 5341 when the drive disk 53 is rotated to the first position, and the second mounting post 533 abuts the second side slot wall 5342 when the drive disk 53 is rotated to the second position.
So configured, the rotation of the drive disk 53 is facilitated to be limited by the second mounting post 533 as the drive disk 53 rotates.
Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a structure in which a lining cover and a driving disc are matched with each other in a tuyere.
Referring to fig. 10, the driving disk 53 is cut away for ease of viewing, and the outer contour of the driving disk 53 is shown in broken lines.
In the embodiment of the present application, the inner liner cover 17 and the driving disc 53 are provided with a first limit portion 172 and a second limit portion 535 on opposite surfaces thereof, respectively.
The number of the first stopper portions 172 is two, and the number of the second stopper portions 535 is one. When the switching shaft 51 rotates around the axis, the second stopper 535 abuts against the two first stoppers 172.
When the second limiting portion 535 abuts against one of the first limiting portions 172, the driving disc 53 is located at the first position, and when the second limiting portion 535 abuts against the other first limiting portion, the driving disc 53 is located at the second position. In this way, the rotation of the drive disc 53 between the first position and the second position can be limited.
Further, the inner liner cover 17 is connected to one side end of the air duct body 40 along the first direction F, and a part of the air duct body 40 is inserted into the inner liner cover 17.
In particular, the duct body 40 and the liner cover 17 may be connected by fasteners such as screws.
Further, a gasket 90 is connected between the inner liner cover 17 and the inner sidewall of the casing 10.
So configured, with the second side wall 16 detachable from the body 41, the first and second elongate air channels 24, 34 can be prevented from leaking out.
The following describes a switching process of the straight blowing and smoothing state of the tuyere 100 according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9.
In the state shown in fig. 3 and 7, the switching plate 52 abuts against the first stopper wall 52 to close the first inlet 22. As indicated by the dashed arrow, the air intake from the air intake 12 flows out through the second elongated duct 34, the second main duct 33, and through the air outlet 11, and the air blown out through the second main duct 33 has a smoothing effect because a part of the channel section of the second main duct 33 is bent downward toward the outlet position. In this state, referring to fig. 8, the transmission disc 53 is in the first position.
When the operator needs to switch to the direct blowing mode, the operator manually operates the knob 61, and in the process of rotating the driving disc 53 counterclockwise, before the driving disc 53 rotates to the third position, the first mounting ring 811 and the second mounting ring 821 of the elastic member 80 approach each other, and the included angle becomes smaller, so that the elastic member 80 always applies a clockwise torque to the driving disc 53. The operator needs to overcome this torque to continue rotating the drive disk 53 counterclockwise. Until a third position is reached, which is a central position. At this time, the driving disk 53 rotates from the third position to the second position, the first mounting ring 811 and the second mounting ring 821 of the elastic member 80 are away from each other, the angle becomes large, and at this time, the elastic member 80 always applies a counterclockwise torque to the driving disk 53. The operator will now switch the transmission disc 53 to the second position shown in fig. 4 and 9 under this counter-clockwise torque even if the knob 61 is not operated.
In the second position of the transmission disc 53, referring to fig. 4, the switching plate 52 abuts against the second stop wall 44, closing the second inlet 32. As indicated by the dashed arrow, the air intake from the air inlet 12 flows out through the first extended air duct 24, the first main air duct 23, and through the air outlet 11, and the air blown out through the first main air duct 23 has a direct blowing effect because the position of the first main air duct 23 near the outlet is a straight passage.
When the operator needs to switch to the smooth mode, the operator manually operates the knob 61, and before the transmission disc 53 rotates to the third position, the first mounting ring 811 and the second mounting ring 821 of the elastic member 80 approach each other, and the included angle becomes smaller, so that the elastic member 80 always applies a counterclockwise torque to the transmission disc 53. The operator needs to overcome this torque and continue to rotate the drive disk 53 clockwise. Until a third position is reached, which is a central position. At this time, the driving disk 53 rotates from the third position to the first position, the first mounting ring 811 and the second mounting ring 821 of the elastic member 80 are away from each other, the angle becomes large, and at this time, the elastic member 80 always applies a clockwise torque to the driving disk 53. The operator will then switch the transmission disc 53 to the first position shown in fig. 3 and 8 under this clockwise torque even if the knob 61 is not operated.
