air outlet hole 30 a is defined on the outer peripheral surface of each corresponding first protrudingpost 30, and the orientations of the first air outlet holes 30 a are sequentially formed in a clockwise interval distribution or a counterclockwise interval distribution, so that it can be ensured that the air flow blown out by thediffuser 100 is formed into a vortex air flow under the action of the first air outlet holes 30 a, thereby reducing the complexity of forming the air guide channel in thediffuser 100 and improving the production efficiency of thediffuser 100. At the same time, when the user blows hair, the abutting effect of the first protruding posts 30 prevents the hair from sticking to thediffuser 100 when the distance between thediffuser 100 and the hair is too close. The setting of the air outlet end face 10 c enables the air flow blown out by thediffuser 100 to be more concentrated, so as to increase the speed of the air flow. In order to ensure the uniformity of the air flow blown out by thediffuser 100 in the axial direction, at least two first protruding posts 30 are evenly distributed at intervals around the center of theair outlet end 10 b. Certainly, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In other embodiments, at least two arc-shaped air guide channels may be formed inside theair outlet end 10 b, so that the air flow in thediffuser 100 forms a vortex air flow under the action of the arc-shaped air guide channels. Then, when flowing out from the first air outlet holes 30 a, a clockwise or counterclockwise air flow is formed. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the one of the at least two first air outlet holes 30 a is configured to be arranged in a strip shape, and configured to extend from a side away from the air outlet end face 10 c of the corresponding one of the at least two first protruding
posts 30 to a side adjacent to the air outlet end face 10 c of the corresponding one of the at least two first protruding posts 30. - It can be understood that this setting increases the air outlet area of the first
air outlet hole 30 a, so that the air volume of thediffuser 100 from the firstair outlet hole 30 a may be increased, and the blowing effect of thediffuser 100 may be improved. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the
diffuser 100 further defines a secondair outlet hole 30 b on the side away from the air outlet end face 10 c of the one of the at least two first protruding posts 30, and an air outlet direction of the secondair outlet hole 30 b is configured to be parallel to an extending direction of the corresponding one of the at least two first air outlet holes 30 a. - It can be understood that, by setting the second
air outlet hole 30 b, not only a vortex air flow is formed at the first protrudingposts 30 of thediffuser 100, but also a linear air flow parallel to the extending direction of the firstair outlet hole 30 a is formed, namely, the air outlet direction of the secondair outlet hole 30 b and the extending direction of the center line of the corresponding first protrudingpost 30 are arranged in parallel. In this way, the air outlet direction of thediffuser 100 is more diversified, so that the contact area between the air flow blown out by thediffuser 100 and the hair can be further increased to further improve the blowing effect of thediffuser 100. The firstair outlet hole 30 a and the secondair outlet hole 30 b may be independently defined to ensure the respective air output. Certainly, it is also possible that the first protrudingpost 30 is partially cut away from a lateral end face away from the air outlet end face 10 c to a side adjacent to the air outlet end face 10 c to form the firstair outlet hole 30 a and the secondair outlet hole 30 b which are in communication with each other, so that the firstair outlet hole 30 a and the secondair outlet hole 30 b may be formed at one time. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, where: the
diffuser 100 further includes: a second protrudingpost 50, provided on the air outlet end face 10 c and configured to be in communication with theair outlet end 10 b; and thediffuser 100 further defines: a thirdair outlet hole 50 a on an outer peripheral surface of the second protrudingpost 50, and an air outlet direction of the thirdair outlet hole 50 a is configured to be toward the center of theair outlet end 10 b. - It can be understood that, by setting the third
air outlet hole 50 a, air flow may be blown toward the center of theair outlet end 10 b at the second protrudingpost 50 of thediffuser 100, thus further increasing the diversified air outlet direction of thediffuser 100, so that the blowing effect of thediffuser 100 may be further improved. At least two of the second protruding posts 50 may be provided inside the at least two first protruding posts 30, and evenly distributed at intervals surround the center of theair outlet end 10 b. In this way, the air volume from thediffuser 100 at the second protruding posts 50 and the uniformity of the air output are improved. Further, the thirdair outlet hole 50 a may penetrate the lateral peripheral surface of the second protrudingpost 50. Namely, after the air flow in thediffuser 100 passes through the secondair outlet hole 30 b, part of the air flow may be blown toward the center of theair outlet end 10 b, and part of the air flow may be blown toward the periphery of theair outlet end 10 b, so as to further increase the diversification of the air outlet direction of thediffuser 100. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the third
air outlet hole 50 a is configured to be arranged in a strip shape, and configured to extend from a side away from the air outlet end face 10 c of the corresponding second protrudingpost 50 to a side adjacent to the air outlet end face 10 c of the corresponding second protrudingpost 50. - It can be understood that, by this setting, the air outlet area of the second
air outlet hole 30 b may be increased, so that the air volume of thediffuser 100 from the secondair outlet hole 30 b may be increased, and the blowing effect of thediffuser 100 may be improved. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, where: a side of one of the at least two first protruding posts 30 away from the air outlet end face 10 c and a lateral peripheral surface of the one of the at least two first protruding posts 30 are configured to be arranged in a smooth transition, and a side away from the air outlet end face 10 c of the second protruding
post 50 and a lateral peripheral surface of the second protrudingpost 50 are configured to be arranged in a smooth transition. - It can be understood that the smooth transition setting prevents the first protruding
post 30 and the second protrudingpost 50 from forming a corner on the side facing away from the air outlet end face 10 c, and prevents scratches caused to the scalp, thereby improving the safety of using thediffuser 100. - In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first protruding
post 30 and the second protrudingpost 50 are provided in an integrated structure with theair outlet end 10 b. - It can be understood that, by this setting, the connection strengths between the first protruding
post 30 and theair outlet end 10 b and between the second protrudingpost 50 and theair outlet end 10 b may be increased, thereby improving the fixing stability of the first protrudingpost 30 and the second protrudingpost 50, and avoiding the first protrudingpost 30 and the second protrudingpost 50 from breaking off after being impacted, thereby avoiding reducing the useful life of thediffuser 100. At the same time, this setting avoids forming a gap at the connection between the first protrudingpost 30 and theair outlet end 10 b or between the second protrudingpost 50 and theair outlet end 10 b, thereby affecting the sealing performance In addition, the first protrudingpost 30 and the second protrudingpost 50 may respectively be provided with an air guide channel to communicate with theair outlet end 10 b. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the
diffuser 100 further defines a fourthair outlet hole 10 d on the air outlet end face 10 c, and an air outlet direction of the fourthair outlet hole 10 d is configured to be parallel to an extending direction of a center line of one of the at least two first protruding posts 30. - It can be understood that by setting the fourth
air outlet hole 10 d, a part of the air flow in thediffuser 100 may flow out from the fourthair outlet hole 10 d, thereby further increasing the air volume of thediffuser 100 and improving the blowing effect of thediffuser 100. The fourthair outlet hole 10 d may be defined in a gap between the first protrudingpost 30 and the second protrudingpost 50, so that the air flow between the first protrudingpost 30 and the second protrudingpost 50 may directly flow out from the fourthair outlet hole 10 d, other than colliding with the inner wall of theair outlet end 10 b and then flow out from the firstair outlet hole 30 a and the secondair outlet hole 30 b on both sides, thereby reducing the energy loss of the air flow and ensuring the blowing speed. - In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet end face 10 c is configured to be provided in a concave arc shape to the main body.
- It can be understood that the arc-shaped air outlet end face 10 c has a converging effect on the air flow blown out by the
diffuser 100, thereby ensuring that the area where thediffuser 100 is projected by theair outlet end 10 b has a large air flow, and improving the hair drying and shaping effects. Moreover, the air flow blown out by thediffuser 100 from the firstair outlet hole 30 a may be easier to form a vortex air flow under the guidance of the arc-shaped wall surface, thereby increasing the contact area with the hair. - With reference to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the present disclosure further provides ahair dryer 1000, which includes adiffuser 100. The specific structure of thediffuser 100 may refer to the above embodiments. Since thehair dryer 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects of the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. An air inlet end 10 a of thediffuser 100 is connected to themain body 300, and themain body 300 includes amain body portion 310 and ahandle portion 330. A heater is provided in themain body portion 310. One end of thehandle portion 330 communicates with one end of themain body portion 310, and a motor is provided in thehandle portion 330 to drive external air into thehandle portion 330 and flow into themain body portion 310 for heating by the heater. The air inlet end 10 a of thediffuser 100 communicates with the end of themain body portion 310 away from thehandle portion 330. The air flow in themain body portion 310 may flow into thediffuser 100 after passing through the heater, and then be guided by thediffuser 100 to increase the blowing area. - The above are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and thus do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.
