Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a hair dryer with a cyclone blast barrel that discharges airflow farther and faster by means of a helical blast barrel structure, and particularly, to a hair dryer comprising: a first blast barrel and a second blast barrel for discharging air in cyclone form; a heater that generates heat of a predetermined temperature; a fan-motor for rotating a fan to blow air; and a cover for providing an enclosure for securing components and a protection against impacts, wherein the hair dryer strongly discharges air at high speed for the same output of a drive motor, and has the effect of discharging air that is uniform in temperature.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A structure of a hair dryer with a cyclone blast barrel for discharging a selection between a cold wind and a heated wind, the structure comprising:
a first blast barrel for defining selected one or more of a helical groove and a helical protrusion, and for conditioning a wind inlet at an internal circumference into a discharge of a cyclone pattern; a second blast barrel fixedly inserted in the internal circumference of the first blast barrel and defining selected one or more of a helical groove and a helical protrusion to condition a wind inlet into a discharge of another cyclone pattern; a heater fixedly inserted in an internal circumference of the second blast barrel for radiating heat at a predetermined temperature upon receiving a supply from a power source; a fan-motor installed behind the heater for supplying the wind generated by rotating a fan upon receiving the supply from the power source to the first blast barrel and the second blast barrel, respectively; and a cover securely fastened to a rear end of the first blast barrel for maintaining the second blast barrel, the heater, and the fan-motor locked in position while providing a protection against external impacts and letting in external airflows.
2 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the first blast barrel and second blast barrel each comprises selected one of the helical groove and the helical protrusion with helical grooves or helical protrusions extending either adjoined all along the length or spaced by a predetermined clearance.
3 . The structure of claim 2 , wherein the helical protrusion on the internal circumference of the first blast barrel is held in abutment against the helical protrusion on an external circumference of the second blast barrel, whereby affixing the first blast barrel and second blast barrel together.
4 . The structure of claim 2 , wherein the helical protrusion on the internal circumference of the first blast barrel is arranged corresponding to the helical protrusion on the internal circumference of the second blast barrel, whereby affixing the first blast barrel and second blast barrel together.
5 . The structure of claim 3 , wherein the helical groove on the internal circumference of the first blast barrel is arranged corresponding to the helical groove on the external circumference of the second blast barrel, whereby defining a continuous closed helical space.
6 . The structure of claim 4 , wherein the helical groove on the internal circumference of the first blast barrel is arranged corresponding to the helical groove on the internal circumference of the second blast barrel.
7 . The structure of any one of claims 1 through 6 claim 1 , wherein the first blast barrel and second blast barrel each comprises a discharge outlet and a wind inlet having a larger diameter than the discharge outlet.
8 . The structure of claim 2 , wherein the helical groove and the helical protrusion extend along a full helical length of the first blast barrel and second blast barrel either continuously, discontinuously or partially by a predetermined length.
9 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein a selected one or more of the helical groove and the helical protrusion is formed with the external circumference of the second blast barrel held in abutment against the internal circumference of the first blast barrel.
10 . The structure of claim 9 , wherein the internal circumference of the first blast barrel is devoid of a formation of the selected one or more of the helical groove and the helical protrusion.
11 . The structure of claim 9 , wherein the helical groove and the helical protrusion are formed in coextension by different sizes from each other.
12 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the second blast barrel comprises an insulator for withstanding a melt and deformation from a transmission of heat.
13 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the first blast barrel is provided with either a smooth exterior surface independently of a construction of the internal circumference of the first blast barrel or a contour corresponding to the helical groove and the helical protrusion on the internal circumference.
14 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the helical groove and the helical protrusion are selected interchangeably by a number of one or more, and extend in either left-hand or right-hand rotation.
15 . The structure of claim 14 , wherein the helical groove and the helical protrusion are formed into one or more of a circular shape and other polygonal shapes.
16 . The structure of claim 1 , wherein the heater uses either a direct heating method or indirect heating method.
17 . The structure of claim 16 , wherein the heater is optionally provided with a temperature controller.
18 . The structure of claim 2 , wherein the first blast barrel and second blast barrel each comprises a discharge outlet and a wind inlet having a larger diameter than the discharge outlet.
19 . The structure of claim 3 , wherein the first blast barrel and second blast barrel each comprises a discharge outlet and a wind inlet having a larger diameter than the discharge outlet.
20 . The structure of claim 4 , wherein the first blast barrel and second blast barrel each comprises a discharge outlet and a wind inlet having a larger diameter than the discharge outlet.Cited by (0)
