Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a hair curler that is heated by using a microwave oven or the like.

<Prior Art> As a first conventional example of a hair curler, there is a rod having a built-in heat storage body. In other words, if you put multiple rods in a dedicated heating container and turn on the power switch provided in the heating container, the entire rod will be automatically heated and kept at a constant temperature of 60 ° C to 80 ° C. The thus heated rod is taken out of the heating container and wrapped around the hair for hair styling.

On the other hand, as a second conventional example of a hair styling curler, an oxidation heating element made by adding water, wood powder, activated carbon, etc. to iron oxide powder is packed in a cylindrical plastic holder, and the whole is in a plastic bag. The one packed in is displayed. In other words, when the plastic bag is opened, the oxidation heating element reacts with oxygen in the air, resulting in a temperature of about 80 ° C and moderate humidity of 10%.
It takes about 15 minutes to get the hair, and although it is a disposable type, you can easily prepare hair without damaging your hair even when traveling.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in the case of the first conventional example, since a special heating container for heating the rod is required,
The overall cost of the device is relatively high, and the time required to heat the rod is relatively long.

On the other hand, in the case of the second conventional example, no special heating container is required and it is cheap, but it has a drawback that it is used only once.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a hair styling curler that is inexpensive and can be repeatedly used.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In the hair styling curler according to the present invention, a microwave absorbing heat generating body that absorbs microwaves and self-heats is provided inside the curler body.

<Operation> When the hair styling curler is put in the microwave oven and the operation switch is turned on, microwaves are absorbed by the microwave absorbing heating element to generate heat, and the entire curler body is heated.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of a hair curler according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hairdressing curler, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the hairdressing curler, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining a method of using the hairdressing curler.

As shown in FIG. 1, the basic structure of the curler for hairdressing shown here is that a pipe-shaped microwave absorbing heating element 20 is provided inside a curler body 10 which is a hollow cylindrical holder.
A fixing cover 30 is detachable for fixing hair by wrapping the hair on the outside of the curler body 10. The curler body 10 is made of, for example, plastic, rubber, or ceramic as a material through which microwaves pass, while the fixing cover 30 is made of a material such as plastic that is transparent to microwaves and has elasticity. It is configured.

Hereinafter, the curler body 10 and the microwave absorbing heating element 20 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. Carla body 10
Has a double-tube structure as a whole, and the outer cylinder 14 and the inner cylinder are
The microwave absorption heating element 20 is accommodated in the gap 12 formed by 11 and 11. Moreover, a disc-shaped lid 40 is fixed to the central portion of the upper surface of the curled body 10 which is slightly recessed with an adhesive material or the like, so that the microwave absorption heating element 20 is provided.
It can be sealed inside. However, in the figure
Indicates a solidified adhesive.

On the other hand, the microwave absorbing heat generating element 20 is made of a material that generates heat when irradiated with microwaves.
A ceramic material containing 80% SiC is molded into a pipe shape. It should be noted that even Fe-based, Mn-Zn-based molded articles such as ferrite, carbon, and water will absorb microwaves and generate heat, so this may be used as a substitute, but for hair styling. Since the ideal temperature is 60 to 80 ° C, it is necessary to select the material taking this into consideration.

Next, a method of using the hair styling curler configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

Since it is rare to use only one hairdressing curler, it is necessary to store many kinds of hairdressing curlers in a curla storage case 50 made of plastic etc., and heat the hairdressing curler in the stored state. Let The heating of the hairdressing curler is performed using the microwave oven 60. That is, since both the curler housing case 50 and the curler body 10 are made of a material that allows microwaves to pass therethrough, only the microwave absorbing heating element 20 is directly heated by the microwaves, and this heat causes the curler body 10 to be indirectly heated. It is like this. The reason why the hairdressing curler is put in the curler housing case 50 and heated in the microwave oven 60 is that it is not preferable for hygiene to put the hairdressing curler in the microwave oven 60 in a naked state. Therefore, the curler housing case 50 needs to have a closed structure.

More specifically, the microcomputer built into the microwave oven 60 is pre-input with information for appropriately heating a plurality of hair curlers, and when a predetermined timer switch is pressed, the hair curlers are turned on. 60-80
The microwave irradiation time is automatically set to reach the ideal temperature of ℃.

Therefore, in the case of the above-mentioned embodiment, since a special device for heating the hairdressing curler is not required, the cost can be reduced as a whole and the structure can be repeatedly used. In addition, since the microwave oven 60 is used for heating, the time required for heating can be markedly shortened, and therefore, the product appealing property is sufficient.

Next, a modified example of the hairdressing curler will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7.

First, as a first modified example of the hair curler, as shown in FIG. 4, there is a form in which a cylindrical microwave absorbing heat generating body 20 is housed inside a cylindrical curler body 10.
In the case of this modification, since the structure is simple, the processing is easy, and the cost can be reduced from this viewpoint.

As a second modification of the hairdressing curler, as shown in FIG. 5, a form in which a pipe body 21 is housed inside a cylindrical curler body 10 is given. The surface of the pipe body 21 made of, for example, ceramic or metal, which has a large heat capacity, is coated with ferrite paint as the microwave absorbing heat generating body 20. In the case of this modified example, when microwaves are absorbed by the microwave absorption heating element 20, the pipe body 21 is heated together with the curler body 10, and a heat storage effect is obtained here, and the heat retention time is prolonged. There is an advantage that you can.

As a third modification of the hairdressing curler, as shown in FIG. 6, by using a microwave absorbing heating element 20 which is slightly smaller than that of the above-described embodiment (see FIG. 2), the gap can be reduced.
12 is large, and a latent heat storage material 70 such as polyethylene, wax, polyethylene glycol, paraffin, or camphor is provided in the gap 12. That is, after inserting the microwave absorption heating element 20 inside the curler body 10, the latent heat storage material 70 that exhibits fluidity at high temperature is poured into the gap 12 and then closed by the lid 40. The temperature of the material 70 lowers, the material 70 solidifies, and the microwave absorbing heating element 20 is fixed. In the case of this modification, even if the microwave absorbing heat generating body 20 absorbs microwaves more than necessary, the latent heat storage material 70 is interposed between the microwave absorbing heat generating body 20 and the curler body 10. The temperature of the curler body 10 does not become abnormal, and the heat damage to the curler body 10 can be prevented.

As a fourth modification of the hair curler, a curler body 10 having a plurality of capillary holes 13 on its outer peripheral surface as shown in FIG.
A microwave absorbing heat generating body 20 having a ferritic layer 22 formed on the surface thereof in a thickness of 200 to 300 μm is housed therein. That is, when the hair styling curler is immersed in water, the water that has entered through the capillary holes 13 enters the ferritic layer 22, and when heated in this state, the heat of the microwave absorbing heating element 20 causes the water in the ferritic layer 22 to be removed. Evaporate, and this is taken out to the outside through the capillary hole 13. In the case of this modified example, there is an advantage that there is no risk of damaging the hair during hair styling, since an appropriate temperature and humidity can be obtained. Of course, multiple capillary holes 13
Even if the curler body 10 made of a porous material such as ceramic is adopted instead of providing the same, the same effect can be obtained.

The case of using the curler for hairdressing of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments and modifications, and the shape of the curler body is the same as the presence or absence of the fixing cover.

<Effect of device> As described above, in the case of the hair curler of the present invention, since a special device for heating the hair curler is not required, it is possible to reduce the cost as a whole, and the structure is repeatedly used. be able to. Moreover, since it is heated by the microwave oven, the time required for heating can be significantly shortened.
