Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Technical Field of the Invention> This invention relates to a steam type hair setter that heats hair curlers for setting hair with steam from a steam generator that generates steam.

<Prior Art> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this type of conventional steam-type hair setter is a heating device in which a power cord 5 with a cord bush 4 inserted is connected to a lower body 3 having a number of through holes 2 in the bottom 1. A steam generator body 11 is formed by attaching an upper body 9 having electrodes 6, 7 and a steam hole 8 with screws 10, and a steam generator body 11 is formed around the steam hole 8 of the upper body 9 of the steam generator body 11. A steam generator 17 is constructed by installing a curler stand 14 installation part 15 of a hair curler 13 having air permeability and having steam holes 12 communicating with the hair curler 13 for hair setting, and installing the steam generator main body 11 in a tank 16 supplied with water. Then, the power cord 5 of the steam generator 17 is connected to a power source to energize the heating electrodes 6 and 7, and the steam generator 1
The hair curler stand 14 of the hair curler 13 is installed in the installation part 15 of the steam generator 17, and the water 18 in the tank 16 is heated by the heating electrodes 6, 7 of the steam generator 17 using the electric resistance of the water 18 to generate steam. (steam) 1
9 is generated and the steam 19 is passed through the steam holes 8,
12, the hair curler 13 is heated by the steam 19, and the heated hair curler 1
3 is wound around the hair, and the hair is set by supplying appropriate humidity and temperature to the hair.

With the steam-type hair setter configured as described above, the entire water 18 in the tank 16 is heated to generate steam 19.
It takes a certain amount of time to generate steam 19, making it impossible to generate steam 19 instantaneously, and impurities contained in water 18 in tank 16 cause variations in power consumption. It is not possible to generate heat efficiently, and therefore, there is a drawback that a long time is required to heat the hair curler 13, and a long waiting time is required before the hair curler 13 can be used.

<Purpose of the invention> The object of the invention is to obtain a steam-type hair setter that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

<Embodiment of the invention> An embodiment of the steam hair setter of the invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 3.

The steam-type hair setter of the present invention has a lower body 23 having legs 21 and ventilation holes 22, a thermostat 26 connected to a power cord 25 with a cord bushing 24 inserted therein, and a positive temperature coefficient thermistor heater 27 supported by a support 28. and the positive temperature coefficient thermistor heater 2 is connected to the positive coefficient thermistor heater 27.
A heater 29 that heats water and generates steam by heating water according to step 7 is adhesively fixed with a thermally conductive adhesive 30, and a lid 32 having a steam hole 31 is fitted to the heater 29 to generate steam. A generator 33 is formed, and one end of a water supply pipe 35 is communicated with the lid 32 of the steam generator 33, and the other end of the water supply pipe 35 is connected to a first cap 36 and a first cap 36.
Ball 37, cylinder 38, cylinder receiver 39,
It is connected to the first cap 36 of a pump 46 formed by a spring 40, a piston 41, a piston ring 42, a second cap 43, a second ball 44, a water supply pipe 45, etc., and the water supply pipe 45 of the pump 46 is connected to the A protruding hole 52 that is positioned in the water 51 of a water tank 50 supported by the support portion 49 of the lower body 23 and from which the piston 41 of the pump 46 protrudes matches the water inlet 58 of the water tank 50 ( Matches (communicates with) the water supply hole 54 that communicates with the steam hole 31 of the lid 32 of the steam generator 33
A hair curler installation part 56 having a steam hole 55 is provided on the upper body 57, and the piston 41 of the pump 46 is protruded from the protrusion hole 52 of the upper body 57, and the water supply hole 54 of the upper body 57 is provided. and the steam hole 55 of the arrangement part 56 of the upper body 57 and the steam hole 31 of the lid 32 of the steam generator 33, and are attached to the lower body 23. It is composed of

In the above configuration, the thermostat 26 is attached to the positive temperature coefficient thermistor heater 27 with a thermally conductive adhesive to prevent runaway when the positive temperature coefficient thermistor 27 breaks down, and the thermostat 26 is attached to the positive temperature coefficient thermistor heater 27 with a thermally conductive adhesive.
9, the lid 32 is fitted onto the heater 29.
It is made of a material with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion, and when the heater 29 generates steam, the lid 32 comes into close contact with the heater 29 due to thermal expansion, and the fitting portion is completely sealed to prevent steam leakage. By pressing the piston 41, the pump 46 supplies a predetermined amount of water from the water tank 50 to the heater 29 via the water supply pipe 35. The hair curler is constructed by winding a breathable sponge or the like, with a cavity in the center through which steam 58 passes, and heats the sponge by passing the steam 58 through the cavity.

Next, to explain the usage state of the steam type hair setter of the present invention constructed as described above, a predetermined amount of water is supplied to the water supply tank 50 from the water supply hole 54 of the upper body 57, and a hair curler is placed in the installation part 56 of the upper body 57. Install the hair curler by aligning the cavity of the hair curler with the steam hole 55 of the installation part 56, and connect the power cord 25.
a positive temperature coefficient thermistor heater 2 which is connected to a power source and heats the heater 29 via the thermostat 26;
7 and presses the piston 41 of the pump 46, a predetermined amount of water from the water tank 50 is dripped into the heater 29 via the water supply pipe 35, and the heater 29 instantly generates steam 58. , the steam 58 is ejected through the steam hole 31 of the lid 32 and the steam hole 55 of the upper body 57, the hair curler is heated by the steam 58, the heated hair curler is wound around the hair, and the hair curler is heated. The hair is set by supplying appropriate humidity and temperature to the hair.

In the above case, when the piston 41 is pressed, a predetermined amount of water is supplied to the heater 29 from the pump 46 in drops through the water supply pipe 35. Just repeat the action and do it continuously.

In the above configuration, the pump 46 is configured to supply water drippingly by pressing the piston 41, but a pump that automatically supplies water drippingly using an intermittent motor or the like may also be used. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to the above embodiments.

<Effects of the invention> Since the steam-type hair setter of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to generate a predetermined amount of steam instantly and efficiently, and the time required to heat the hair curler can be shortened. Waiting time for using hair curlers can be reduced,
Furthermore, since a predetermined amount of water is supplied dropwise by the pump, the temperature and amount of steam can be reliably set to the required values.

In addition, since the steam generator is equipped with a positive temperature coefficient thermistor heater as a heating source for the steam generator that supplies a predetermined amount of water dropwise to the steam generator, the positive temperature coefficient thermistor heater is used only when a predetermined amount of water is supplied dropwise to the steam generator by the pump. The heater becomes high output and the amount of heat generated increases, making it possible to efficiently and instantaneously turn a predetermined amount of supplied water into steam, and when the heater is on standby, i.e. when the user is wrapping hair around a hair curler heated by steam. When the drip supply is not being performed, the PTC thermistor heater has a low output, which can reduce power consumption and improve safety, and the PTC thermistor heater can remain in standby mode without lowering the temperature too much. Therefore, steam can be generated instantly when steam is needed.
