- the treatment unit 20 includes a first treatment unit 210 having a first opposing surface (first treatment surface) 2111, and a second treatment unit 220 having a second opposing surface (second treatment surface) 2211 that faces the first opposing surface 2111 in the first direction (Y direction).
- the treatment unit 20 has a pair of treatment units (first treatment unit 210 and second treatment unit 220: multiple treatment units) that face each other in the first direction (Y direction).
- the first treatment unit 210 and the second treatment unit 220 are each connected to the grip unit 10. Specifically, the first treatment unit 210 is connected to one end of the grip unit 10 in the third direction (X direction) via a first connecting part 212, and the second treatment unit 220 is connected to one end of the grip unit 10 in the third direction (X direction) via a second connecting part 222. In this manner, in this embodiment, the first treatment unit 210 and the second treatment unit 220 are each connected to the grip unit 10 in a state in which they are bifurcated in the first direction (Y direction) from one end of the grip unit extending in the third direction (X direction).
- the first treatment section 210 is provided with a first housing 211 that forms the outer periphery of the first treatment section 210, and the surface of this first housing 211 that faces the second treatment section 220 is the first opposing surface 2111.
- the second treatment section 220 is provided with a second housing 221 that forms the outer periphery of the second treatment section 220, and the surface of this second housing 221 that faces the first treatment section 210 is the second opposing surface 2211.
- a space is formed between the first opposing surface 2111 of the first treatment unit 210 and the second opposing surface 2211 of the second treatment unit 220, which penetrates in the second direction (Z direction) and opens to one side in the third direction (X direction).
- this space serves as the treatment space S1 in which treatment can be performed on the hair H.
- the hair H can be treated in a state in which the hair H is arranged within the treatment space S1 so as to extend in a second direction (Z direction) that intersects with the first direction (Y direction). In this way, during normal treatment of the hair H, the hair H is arranged within the treatment space S1 so as to extend in the second direction (Z direction).
- hollow portions are formed inside the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220, and each hollow portion is formed so as to communicate with the hollow portion of the gripping section 10.
- the hollow portion formed in the wind styler 1 is utilized to blow air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H placed within the treatment space S1, and the hair H can be styled by the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H.
- a fluid discharge mechanism 40 capable of blowing air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H is disposed within the wind styler 1, and the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 of this fluid discharge mechanism 40 is blown onto the hair H, allowing the hair H to be styled (treated).
- the wind styler (hair care device) 1 of this embodiment is a device that can blow air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H from one or more air outlets 45, straightening and straightening the curls and waves of the hair H without causing excessive friction on the hair H, or styling the hair into a desired shape.
- the Wind Styler (hair care device) 1 can be used not only on dry hair, but also on hair that is moderately wet, such as hair that has been washed and towel-dried. When hair is wet, the hydrogen bonds that form the bonds inside the hair are broken, so styling while drying the hair helps to set the shape of the hair after styling more easily.
- the two steps of drying with a hair dryer and styling can be shortened to one step, which reduces the user's time and effort without exposing the hair to excessive heat damage and friction damage.
- the fluid discharge mechanism 40 includes an intake port 41 that can take in air (outside air: fluid) from outside the device into the wind styler 1, and a feed means 42 that is arranged downstream of the intake port 41 and sends the air (fluid) taken in from the intake port 41 downstream.
- the fluid discharge mechanism 40 also includes a fluid temperature adjustment means 43 that is arranged downstream of the feed means 42 and adjusts (controls to heat or cool) the temperature of the air (fluid) sent by the feed means 42 to the outlet 45 side (downstream).
- the fluid discharge mechanism 40 also includes an outlet 45 and a flow path 44 that sends the air (fluid: hot or cold air) whose temperature has been adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 to the outlet 45.
- air (outside air: fluid) from outside the device is taken into the wind styler 1 through the suction port 41, the temperature of the air (fluid) taken in through the suction port 41 is adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43, and the temperature-adjusted air (fluid) is sent to the blowing port 45 via the flow path 44, so that the air (wind: fluid) at the desired temperature can be blown onto the hair H.
- the suction port 41 can be, for example, a number of small holes or a vertically elongated gap.
- the suction port 41 is formed by providing a number of through holes in a mesh pattern on the other end side of the grip part 10 in the third direction (X direction). This makes it possible to take in air from outside the device (outside air: fluid) into the inside of the wind styler 1 through the suction port 41.
- the feeding means 42 can be configured to include, for example, a fan and a fan motor that rotates the fan.
- a fan and fan motor can be an axial fan, a centrifugal fan, a blower fan (sirocco fan), or the like. It is also possible for the feeding means 42 to have an integrated fan and fan motor, or it is also possible for the feeding means 42 to have a separate fan and fan motor.
- the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 can be a heating source such as a heater or a cooling source such as a heat exchanger.
- the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 be approximately 10°C to 250°C when it is blown out from the air outlet 45.
- the temperature of the air blown out from the air outlet 45 be approximately 50°C to 250°C.
- the hair H is heated by heat transfer while being loosened by the action of air (wind: fluid). Therefore, it is possible to heat the inside of the hair bundle without clamping the hair H with a hair clamping part heated to a high temperature of approximately 160°C or more as in the past. In this way, when the wind styler 1 is used to heat hair H for treatment, there is no need to heat the hair H to a high temperature of approximately 160°C or more as in the conventional hair clamping part.
- the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 it is more preferable to set the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 to approximately 100°C to 140°C. This makes it possible to more reliably treat the hair H while further reducing damage to the hair H.
- the temperature of the air blown out from the air outlet 45 be approximately 10°C to 50°C.
- the shape of the styled hair H can be more easily maintained.
- the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45 is lower than 10°C, a compressor or Peltier element is required, which may increase power consumption and increase the size of the device.
- the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45 is higher than 50°C, the difference with the hair temperature becomes small, and the effect of maintaining the shape may become smaller. Therefore, when cooling the hair H with the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45, it is preferable that the temperature of the air blown out of the air outlet 45 is approximately 10°C to 50°C.
- the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 be approximately 10°C to 250°C when it is blown out from the air outlet 45.
- the flow path 44 can be formed, for example, by placing a partition that generates a flow of air in a predetermined direction within the hollow portion formed in the wind styler 1, or by placing a tube or the like that communicates with the air outlet 45.
- the air (wind: fluid) whose temperature has been adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 can be more efficiently passed through the flow path 44 and blown out from the air outlet 45. In this way, more air (fluid) taken in from the suction port 41 can be blown out from the air outlet 45.
- the air outlet 45 has an opening surface 45a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction).
- the opening surface 45a of the air outlet 45 has a rectangular shape with a long side 45c that extends in the third direction (X direction) and a short side 45b that extends in a direction perpendicular to the third direction (X direction).
- the aspect ratio of the area of the air outlet 45 is such that when the length (short side 45b) is 1, the width (long side 45c) is 1 or more. In this case, it is preferable that the aspect ratio of the area of the air outlet is such that when the length (short side 45b) is 1, the width (long side 45c) is 3 or more. This makes it possible to increase the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H.
- the air outlet 45 is configured so that the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 exerts a force F1 in the second direction (Z direction) on the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
- the air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a first air outlet 451 in which the angle ⁇ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle.
- the first air outlet 451 is connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the up-down direction (second direction: Z direction).
- the angle ⁇ between the first opening surface 451a and an imaginary straight line L1 that passes through the connecting portion 45d between the first opposing surface 2111 and the first air outlet 451 and extends in the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle.
- the above-mentioned air outlet 45 corresponds to the fluid discharge section
- the first air outlet 451 corresponds to the tensile force generating fluid discharge section that blows fluid in a direction that generates a tensile force on the hair H.
- This fluid discharge section is preferably configured to blow air (wind: fluid) from all around the hair H in the direction of styling.
- the flow rate of the air (wind: fluid) discharged from the air outlets 45 can be made faster the smaller the area of the air outlets 45 and the fewer the number of air outlets 45, and the greater the tensile force acting on the hair H can be.
- one air outlet 45 is formed in the first treatment unit 210, which is one of the opposing treatment units (first treatment unit 210 and second treatment unit 220). Therefore, in this embodiment, air (wind: fluid) is blown onto the hair H from one side.
- the other treatment unit can prevent the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 from escaping to the outside of the treatment space S1, and more reliably apply a pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H.
- air (wind: fluid) is blown onto the hair H from at least one air outlet 45 in a direction approximately 90° or less to the treatment direction, so that a tensile force can be applied.
- the second opposing surface 2211 is a flat surface extending in the second direction (Z direction) and the third direction (X direction).
- the first opposing surface 2111 is curved in a substantially circular arc shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction). This suppresses the generation of turbulence in the fluid and allows the flow rate to be increased, thereby improving the effect of straightening out curls and waves in the hair H and styling it into a desired shape.
- the radius of curvature of the first opposing surface 2111 is approximately 10 mm to 50 mm. If the radius of curvature of the first opposing surface 2111 is smaller than 10 mm, there is a risk of a large loss in flow rate, and if it is larger than 50 mm, there is a risk of turbulence.
- the first opposing surface 2111 is curved with a radius of curvature of approximately 10 mm to 50 mm, so that the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H is a laminar flow.
- the angle ⁇ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is greater than or equal to 10° and smaller than 90°. If the angle ⁇ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is smaller than 10°, there is a risk that the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 will hit the first opposing surface 2111. In this embodiment, the angle ⁇ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is set so that the tensile force acting toward the tip of the hair H is approximately maximized.
- the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 is set to 5 m/s to 50 m/s. This makes it possible to blow air (wind: fluid) at a rate sufficient to style the hair H while preventing hair H from falling out, and more reliably straighten and straighten curls and waves in the hair H, or style the hair into the desired shape.
- the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 is 5 m/s to 50 m/s. If the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 is slower than 5 m/s, there is a risk that the tensile force is not sufficient to style the hair H, and if it is faster than 50 m/s, there is a risk that excessive tensile force will be applied to the hair H, causing the hair H to fall out or become damaged.
- the force F1 acting on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction) is set to 0.05 N to 5 N. This makes it possible to apply a force F1 to the hair H that is sufficient to style the hair H while preventing the hair H from falling out, etc., and more reliably straighten out any curls or waves in the hair H, or style the hair into a desired shape.
- the force F1 acting on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction) be between 0.05 N and 5 N. If the force F1 acting on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction) is less than 0.05 N, the tensile force may not be sufficient to style the hair H, and if it is greater than 5 N, excessive tensile force may be applied to the hair H, causing the hair H to fall out or become damaged.
- the wind styler 1 is equipped with a variable mechanism 30 that can change the width W1 of the treatment space S1. This makes it possible to change the width W1 of the treatment space S1 depending on the amount of hair H, the curl of the hair H, and the degree of undulation, allowing the hair H to be treated more efficiently.
- Such a configuration can be achieved, for example, by making the width W1 of the treatment space S1 adjustable in about three stages and allowing the user to lock it at the desired width. It can also be achieved by making the width W1 of the treatment space S1 continuously adjustable and allowing the user to lock it at the desired width.
- the width W1 of the treatment space S1 can be changed by moving the first treatment section 210 relative to the second treatment section 220 facing it in the first direction (Y direction) (translating) in the first direction (Y direction).
- the variable mechanism 30 for achieving such a configuration can be, for example, a dial, a switch, or the like.
- the width W1 of the treatment space S1 can be changed within a range of approximately 5 mm to 30 mm. This makes it possible to prevent the hair H from becoming difficult to pass through, while also preventing the desired hair styling effect from being difficult to achieve.
- the width W1 of the treatment space S1 is set to a range of approximately 5 mm to 30 mm because if the width W1 of the treatment space S1 is narrower than 5 mm, it will be difficult to pass the hair H through, and there is a risk that the tensile force acting on the hair H will be too large. Furthermore, if it is wider than 30 mm, the distance between the treatment unit 20 and the hair H will be too far, making it difficult to achieve the desired hair styling effect.
- the air outlet 45 may be positioned in a direction that blows air (wind: fluid) from the ends of the hair H to the roots, which may reduce operability for the user, etc.
- the treatment unit 20 is attached to the grip unit 10 in a state in which it can be rotated 180 degrees. This makes it possible to blow air (wind: fluid) from the root side of the hair H toward the tip at various parts of the hair, allowing the wind styler 1 to be used without compromising operability for the user, etc.
- the treatment unit 20 can be rotated 180 degrees, it becomes possible to easily blow air (wind: current) from the tips to the roots of the hair H, and by simply blowing air (wind: fluid), it becomes possible to perform a backcombing treatment (treatment that makes the hair H stand on end) to give volume to the hair H.
- wind current
- wind fluid
- backcombing a treatment that makes the hair H stand on end
- wind fluid
- the wind styler 1 of this embodiment is a device that blows air (wind: fluid) from at least one air outlet 45 onto the hair H in a direction that is approximately 90° or less from the treatment direction (second direction: Z direction) and applies a tensile force F1, thereby straightening the hair H or styling it into a desired shape without applying excessive friction.

If the treatment unit 20 is turned upside down and air (wind: fluid) is blown out only from the third air outlet 453, it is possible to maintain the positional relationship between the hair H and the air (wind: fluid). Therefore, a wind styler (hair care device) 1 including the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 8, i.e., a wind styler (hair care device) 1 including the third air outlet 453, has the advantage that it is possible to treat the back of the head without installing multiple air outlets 45 or the user having to change the position of the air outlet 45.

ここで、本実施の形態では、風スタイラー1に形成された中空部を利用して、施術空間S1内に配置された毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようにし、毛髪Hに吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)によって毛髪Hの整髪を行えるようにしている。具体的には、風スタイラー1内に、毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることが可能な流体放出機構40を配置し、この流体放出機構40が備える吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)を毛髪Hに吹き付けることで、毛髪Hを整髪する(施術する)ことができるようにしている。
In this embodiment, the hollow portion formed in the wind styler 1 is utilized to blow air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H placed within the treatment space S1, and the hair H can be styled by the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H. Specifically, a fluid discharge mechanism 40 capable of blowing air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H is disposed within the wind styler 1, and the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 of this fluid discharge mechanism 40 is blown onto the hair H, allowing the hair H to be styled (treated).
このように、本実施の形態にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1は、1か所以上の吹出口45から毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることで、毛髪Hに過度な摩擦を作用させることなく、毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることができる装置である。
In this way, the wind styler (hair care device) 1 of this embodiment is a device that can blow air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H from one or more air outlets 45, straightening and straightening the curls and waves of the hair H without causing excessive friction on the hair H, or styling the hair into a desired shape.
なお、風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1は、乾燥した毛髪だけでなく、洗髪後、タオルドライした後の毛髪など、適度に濡れた状態の毛髪に対しても使用することができる。濡れた状態の毛髪は毛髪内部の結合である水素結合が切断された状態であるため、乾燥させながら整髪することで、より整髪後の形状を固定しやすくなる効果がある。また、ドライヤーによる乾燥と整髪の二工程を一工程に短縮することができるため、毛髪を過剰な熱ダメージ、摩擦ダメージに晒すことなく、使用者の時間、手間を削減することもできる。
The Wind Styler (hair care device) 1 can be used not only on dry hair, but also on hair that is moderately wet, such as hair that has been washed and towel-dried. When hair is wet, the hydrogen bonds that form the bonds inside the hair are broken, so styling while drying the hair helps to set the shape of the hair after styling more easily. In addition, the two steps of drying with a hair dryer and styling can be shortened to one step, which reduces the user's time and effort without exposing the hair to excessive heat damage and friction damage.
流体放出機構40は、装置外部の空気(外気:流体)を風スタイラー1の内部に取り込むことが可能な吸込口41と、吸込口41よりも下流側に配置され、吸込口41から取り込まれた空気(流体)を下流側に送る送り手段42と、を備えている。また、流体放出機構40は、送り手段42よりも下流側に配置され、送り手段42により吹出口45側(下流側)に送られる空気(流体)の温度を調整(加熱または冷却するように制御)する流体温度調整手段43を備えている。さらに、流体放出機構40は、吹出口45と、流体温度調整手段43により温度が調整された空気(流体:温風または冷風)を吹出口45に送る流路44と、を備えている。
The fluid discharge mechanism 40 includes an intake port 41 that can take in air (outside air: fluid) from outside the device into the wind styler 1, and a feed means 42 that is arranged downstream of the intake port 41 and sends the air (fluid) taken in from the intake port 41 downstream. The fluid discharge mechanism 40 also includes a fluid temperature adjustment means 43 that is arranged downstream of the feed means 42 and adjusts (controls to heat or cool) the temperature of the air (fluid) sent by the feed means 42 to the outlet 45 side (downstream). The fluid discharge mechanism 40 also includes an outlet 45 and a flow path 44 that sends the air (fluid: hot or cold air) whose temperature has been adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 to the outlet 45.
そして、送り手段42を駆動することで、装置外部の空気(外気:流体)を吸込口41から風スタイラー1の内部に取り込み、吸込口41から取り込まれた空気(流体)の温度を流体温度調整手段43により調整し、温度が調整された空気(流体)を、流路44を介して吹出口45に送ることで、所望の温度となった空気(風:流体)を毛髪Hに吹き付けることができるようにしている。
By driving the delivery means 42, air (outside air: fluid) from outside the device is taken into the wind styler 1 through the suction port 41, the temperature of the air (fluid) taken in through the suction port 41 is adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43, and the temperature-adjusted air (fluid) is sent to the blowing port 45 via the flow path 44, so that the air (wind: fluid) at the desired temperature can be blown onto the hair H.
ここで、吸込口41は、例えば、複数の小さな穴または縦長の隙間とすることが可能である。本実施の形態では、把持部10の第3方向(X方向)の他端側に複数の貫通孔をメッシュ状に設けることで、吸込口41を形成している。こうすることで、装置外部の空気(外気:流体)を風スタイラー1の内部に吸込口41から取り込むことができるようにしている。
Here, the suction port 41 can be, for example, a number of small holes or a vertically elongated gap. In this embodiment, the suction port 41 is formed by providing a number of through holes in a mesh pattern on the other end side of the grip part 10 in the third direction (X direction). This makes it possible to take in air from outside the device (outside air: fluid) into the inside of the wind styler 1 through the suction port 41.
また、送り手段42は、例えば、ファンと、ファンを回転させるファンモータとを備える構成とすることができる。このようなファンおよびファンモータとしては、軸流ファン、遠心ファン、ブロアファン(シロッコファン)などを用いることができる。なお、ファンおよびファンモータを一体化させた送り手段42とすることも可能であるし、ファンおよびファンモータを別体にした送り手段42とすることも可能である。
Furthermore, the feeding means 42 can be configured to include, for example, a fan and a fan motor that rotates the fan. Such a fan and fan motor can be an axial fan, a centrifugal fan, a blower fan (sirocco fan), or the like. It is also possible for the feeding means 42 to have an integrated fan and fan motor, or it is also possible for the feeding means 42 to have a separate fan and fan motor.
また、流体温度調整手段43としては、ヒータなどの加熱源、熱交換器などの冷却源を用いることができる。
Furthermore, the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 can be a heating source such as a heater or a cooling source such as a heat exchanger.
なお、流体温度調整手段43により調整される空気(風:流体)の温度は、吹出口45から吹き出される際の温度が略10℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
It is preferable that the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 be approximately 10°C to 250°C when it is blown out from the air outlet 45.
具体的には、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)で毛髪Hを加熱する場合には、吹出口45から吹き出される際の温度が略50℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
Specifically, when the hair H is heated by air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45, it is preferable that the temperature of the air blown out from the air outlet 45 be approximately 50°C to 250°C.
このように、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)で毛髪Hを加熱しながら施術を行うようにすれば、毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。このとき、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の温度が50℃よりも低い場合には、毛髪Hを所望の形状となるように整髪することが難しくなってしまう。一方、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の温度が250℃よりも高い場合には、毛髪Hに不可逆的な熱ダメージを与え、本来のツヤおよび手触り感を損なってしまうおそれがある。そのため、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)で毛髪Hを加熱する際には、吹出口45から吹き出される際の温度が略50℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
In this way, by performing a treatment while heating the hair H with the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45, it is possible to straighten the curls and waves of the hair H and style it into a desired shape. At this time, if the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45 is lower than 50°C, it becomes difficult to style the hair H into a desired shape. On the other hand, if the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45 is higher than 250°C, there is a risk that irreversible thermal damage will be caused to the hair H, and the original luster and feel will be lost. Therefore, when heating the hair H with the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45, it is preferable that the temperature when blown out of the air outlet 45 is approximately 50°C to 250°C.
ところで、風スタイラー1を用いて毛髪Hを加熱して施術を行う場合、空気(風:流体)の作用で毛髪Hをほぐしながら熱伝達により毛髪Hを加熱することになる。そのため、従来のように略160℃以上の高温に熱せられた毛髪挟持部で毛髪Hを挟持しなくても、毛束の内部まで加熱することが可能になる。このように、風スタイラー1を用いて毛髪Hを加熱して施術を行う場合、従来の毛髪挟持部のように略160℃以上の高熱にする必要がなくなる。すなわち、吹出口45から吹出される空気(風:流体)の温度を、略100℃~140℃のように、従来の毛髪挟持部による毛髪Hの施術よりも低い温度とした場合であっても、毛髪Hの加熱による施術を行うことができるようになる。
When the wind styler 1 is used to heat hair H for treatment, the hair H is heated by heat transfer while being loosened by the action of air (wind: fluid). Therefore, it is possible to heat the inside of the hair bundle without clamping the hair H with a hair clamping part heated to a high temperature of approximately 160°C or more as in the past. In this way, when the wind styler 1 is used to heat hair H for treatment, there is no need to heat the hair H to a high temperature of approximately 160°C or more as in the conventional hair clamping part. In other words, even if the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 is set to approximately 100°C to 140°C, which is lower than the temperature of hair H treated with a conventional hair clamping part, it becomes possible to perform treatment by heating the hair H.
そのため、本実施の形態のような風スタイラー1を用いる場合には、吹出口45から吹出される空気(風:流体)の温度が略100℃~140℃となるようにするのがより好ましい。こうすれば、毛髪Hの施術をより確実に行いつつ、毛髪Hのダメージをより低減させることが可能になる。
Therefore, when using the wind styler 1 of this embodiment, it is more preferable to set the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 to approximately 100°C to 140°C. This makes it possible to more reliably treat the hair H while further reducing damage to the hair H.
一方、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)で毛髪Hを冷却する場合には、吹出口45から吹き出される際の温度が略10℃~50℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
On the other hand, when cooling the hair H with air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45, it is preferable that the temperature of the air blown out from the air outlet 45 be approximately 10°C to 50°C.
このように、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)で毛髪Hを冷却しながら施術を行うようにすれば、整髪した毛髪Hの形状をより容易に維持することができるようになる。このとき、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の温度が10℃よりも低い場合には、コンプレッサーまたはペルチェ素子といった構成が必要となって、消費電力が増えてしまったり、装置が大型化してしまったりするおそれがある。一方、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の温度が50℃よりも高い場合には、毛髪温度との差が小さくなって、形状を維持する効果が小さくなってしまうおそれがある。そのため、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)で毛髪Hを冷却する場合には、吹出口45から吹き出される際の温度が略10℃~50℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
In this way, if the hair H is cooled by the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45 while the treatment is being performed, the shape of the styled hair H can be more easily maintained. At this time, if the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45 is lower than 10°C, a compressor or Peltier element is required, which may increase power consumption and increase the size of the device. On the other hand, if the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45 is higher than 50°C, the difference with the hair temperature becomes small, and the effect of maintaining the shape may become smaller. Therefore, when cooling the hair H with the air (wind: fluid) blown out of the air outlet 45, it is preferable that the temperature of the air blown out of the air outlet 45 is approximately 10°C to 50°C.
以上より、流体温度調整手段43により調整される空気(風:流体)の温度は、吹出口45から吹き出される際の温度が略10℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
In view of the above, it is preferable that the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 be approximately 10°C to 250°C when it is blown out from the air outlet 45.
また、流路44は、例えば、風スタイラー1に形成された中空部内に、所定方向の空気の流れを生じさせる隔壁を配置したり、吹出口45に連通するチューブ等を配置したりすることで形成することができる。このような流路44を設けることで、流体温度調整手段43により温度が調整された空気(風:流体)を、より効率的に流路44を通過させて、吹出口45から吹き出されるようにしている。こうすることで、吸込口41から取り込まれたより多くの空気(流体)を、吹出口45から吹き出すことができるようにしている。
Furthermore, the flow path 44 can be formed, for example, by placing a partition that generates a flow of air in a predetermined direction within the hollow portion formed in the wind styler 1, or by placing a tube or the like that communicates with the air outlet 45. By providing such a flow path 44, the air (wind: fluid) whose temperature has been adjusted by the fluid temperature adjustment means 43 can be more efficiently passed through the flow path 44 and blown out from the air outlet 45. In this way, more air (fluid) taken in from the suction port 41 can be blown out from the air outlet 45.
ここで、本実施の形態では、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い開口面45aを有するようにしている。具体的には、吹出口45の開口面45aは、第3方向(X方向)に延在する長手辺45cと、第3方向(X方向)と直交する方向に延在する短手辺45bと、を有する長方形状をしている。
In this embodiment, the air outlet 45 has an opening surface 45a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction). Specifically, the opening surface 45a of the air outlet 45 has a rectangular shape with a long side 45c that extends in the third direction (X direction) and a short side 45b that extends in a direction perpendicular to the third direction (X direction).
こうすることで、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)の流速が速くなるようにしている。そして、施術空間S1に配置した毛髪Hのより広範囲に空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようにしている。こうすることで、毛髪Hに吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)によって毛髪Hの整髪をより短時間でより確実に行うことができるようにしている。
This increases the flow rate of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45. This allows the air (wind: fluid) to be blown over a wider area of the hair H placed in the treatment space S1. This allows the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H to style the hair H more reliably in a shorter time.
このように、本実施の形態では、吹出口45の面積のアスペクト比は、縦(短手辺45b)を1としたときに横(長手辺45c)が1以上となっている。このとき、吹出口の面積のアスペクト比は、縦(短手辺45b)を1としたときに横(長手辺45c)が3以上となるようにするのが好ましい。こうすれば、毛髪Hに吹き付ける空気(風:流体)の速度をより速くすることができるようになる。
In this manner, in this embodiment, the aspect ratio of the area of the air outlet 45 is such that when the length (short side 45b) is 1, the width (long side 45c) is 1 or more. In this case, it is preferable that the aspect ratio of the area of the air outlet is such that when the length (short side 45b) is 1, the width (long side 45c) is 3 or more. This makes it possible to increase the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H.
さらに、本実施の形態では、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)によって施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への力F1が作用するように吹出口45を構成している。具体的には、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を備えるようにしている。
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air outlet 45 is configured so that the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 exerts a force F1 in the second direction (Z direction) on the hair H placed in the treatment space S1. Specifically, the air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a first air outlet 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle.
本実施の形態では、図4に示すように、第1吹出口451は、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されている。そして、第1対向面2111と第1吹出口451との連結部45dを通り第1方向(Y方向)に延在する仮想の直線L1と第1開口面451aとのなす角θが鋭角となるようにしている。
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the first air outlet 451 is connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the up-down direction (second direction: Z direction). The angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and an imaginary straight line L1 that passes through the connecting portion 45d between the first opposing surface 2111 and the first air outlet 451 and extends in the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle.
こうすることで、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)が、斜め下方に向けて吹き出されるようにしている。そして、吹出口45から斜め下方に空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることで、毛髪Hに上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の下方への力F1が作用するようにしている。
By doing this, the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 is blown diagonally downward. And by blowing the air (wind: fluid) diagonally downward from the air outlet 45, a downward force F1 in the up-down direction (second direction: Z direction) acts on the hair H.
このように、毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を斜め下方に向けて吹き付けるようにすれば、毛髪Hに、上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の下方への引っ張り力(力F1)が作用し、施術部20で毛髪Hを挟み込まずに毛髪Hに施術を施すことができるようになる。そのため、毛髪Hの施術時に熱および摩擦が毛髪Hに与える影響をより低減させることが可能になる。その結果、毛髪Hの傷みを低減させつつ毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, by blowing air (wind: fluid) diagonally downward onto the hair H, a downward pulling force (force F1) in the up-down direction (second direction: Z direction) acts on the hair H, and the hair H can be treated without being pinched by the treatment unit 20. This makes it possible to further reduce the effects of heat and friction on the hair H when treating the hair H. As a result, it becomes possible to straighten out curls and waves in the hair H while reducing damage to the hair H, or to style the hair into a desired shape.
以上説明したように、本実施の形態では、上述した吹出口45が流体放出部に相当し、第1吹出口451が、毛髪Hに対し、引張力を生じさせる方向に流体を吹き付ける引張力生成流体放出部に相当している。この流体放出部は、毛髪Hを整髪する方向に全周から空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるように構成するのが好ましい。
As explained above, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned air outlet 45 corresponds to the fluid discharge section, and the first air outlet 451 corresponds to the tensile force generating fluid discharge section that blows fluid in a direction that generates a tensile force on the hair H. This fluid discharge section is preferably configured to blow air (wind: fluid) from all around the hair H in the direction of styling.
なお、吹出口45は正対する施術部(第1施術部210および第2施術部220)のどちらか一方に少なくとも一つ以上設けることが可能である。ただし、吹出口45の数はできるだけ少なくなるようにするのが好ましい。送り手段42の性能が同一の場合には、吹出口45から吐出される空気(風:流体)の流速は、吹出口45の面積が小さいほど、また、吹出口45の数が少ないほど、速くすることができ、毛髪Hに作用する引張力を大きくすることができるためである。
It is possible to provide at least one air outlet 45 on either of the opposing treatment sections (the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220). However, it is preferable to have as few air outlets 45 as possible. When the performance of the delivery means 42 is the same, the flow rate of the air (wind: fluid) discharged from the air outlets 45 can be made faster the smaller the area of the air outlets 45 and the fewer the number of air outlets 45, and the greater the tensile force acting on the hair H can be.
そのため、本実施の形態では、正対する施術部(第1施術部210および第2施術部220)のどちらか一方である第1施術部210に、一つの吹出口45を形成したものを例示している。したがって、本実施の形態では、毛髪Hに片側から空気(風:流体)が吹き付けられることになる。このとき、互いに対向する施術部の一方に吹出口45を設けることで、吹出口45から吹き出された空気(風:流体)が施術空間S1の外部に抜けてしまうことを他方の施術部によって抑制できるようにし、より確実に毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようにしている。
For this reason, in this embodiment, one air outlet 45 is formed in the first treatment unit 210, which is one of the opposing treatment units (first treatment unit 210 and second treatment unit 220). Therefore, in this embodiment, air (wind: fluid) is blown onto the hair H from one side. By providing the air outlet 45 in one of the opposing treatment units, the other treatment unit can prevent the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 from escaping to the outside of the treatment space S1, and more reliably apply a pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H.
このように、本実施の形態では、毛髪Hに、少なくとも1か所以上の吹出口45から施術方向に対し、略90°以下の方向に空気(風:流体)を吹き付け、引張力を作用させることができるようにしている。
In this way, in this embodiment, air (wind: fluid) is blown onto the hair H from at least one air outlet 45 in a direction approximately 90° or less to the treatment direction, so that a tensile force can be applied.
さらに、本実施の形態では、第2対向面2211は、第2方向(Z方向)および第3方向(X方向)に延在する平坦面となっている。一方、第1対向面2111は、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲している。こうすることで、流体の乱流発生を抑制し流速をより速くできるようにし、以て、毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりする効果をより高めることができるようにしている。このとき、第1対向面2111の曲率半径は、略10mm~50mmとなるようにするのが好ましい。第1対向面2111の曲率半径が10mmよりも小さい場合には、流速の損失が大きくなってしまうおそれがあり、50mmよりも大きい場合には、乱流が発生してしまうおそれがあるためである。
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second opposing surface 2211 is a flat surface extending in the second direction (Z direction) and the third direction (X direction). On the other hand, the first opposing surface 2111 is curved in a substantially circular arc shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction). This suppresses the generation of turbulence in the fluid and allows the flow rate to be increased, thereby improving the effect of straightening out curls and waves in the hair H and styling it into a desired shape. In this case, it is preferable that the radius of curvature of the first opposing surface 2111 is approximately 10 mm to 50 mm. If the radius of curvature of the first opposing surface 2111 is smaller than 10 mm, there is a risk of a large loss in flow rate, and if it is larger than 50 mm, there is a risk of turbulence.
そして、略10mm~50mmの曲率半径で湾曲した第1対向面2111とすることで、毛髪Hに吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)が層流となるようにしている。
The first opposing surface 2111 is curved with a radius of curvature of approximately 10 mm to 50 mm, so that the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H is a laminar flow.
なお、本実施の形態のように、略10mm~50mmの曲率半径で第1対向面2111を湾曲させた場合には、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θは、10°以上且つ90°よりも小さい角度となるようにするのが好ましい。第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが10°よりも小さくなると、吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)が第1対向面2111に当たってしまうおそれがあるためである。本実施の形態では、毛髪Hの毛先方向へ作用する引張力がほぼ最大となる角度となるように、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θを設定している。
When the first opposing surface 2111 is curved with a radius of curvature of approximately 10 mm to 50 mm as in this embodiment, it is preferable that the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is greater than or equal to 10° and smaller than 90°. If the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is smaller than 10°, there is a risk that the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 will hit the first opposing surface 2111. In this embodiment, the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is set so that the tensile force acting toward the tip of the hair H is approximately maximized.
また、本実施の形態では、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)の速度が5m/s~50m/sとなるように設定している。こうすることで、毛髪Hの抜け等を抑制しつつ毛髪Hの整髪を行うことができる程度の空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようにし、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりできるようにしている。
In addition, in this embodiment, the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 is set to 5 m/s to 50 m/s. This makes it possible to blow air (wind: fluid) at a rate sufficient to style the hair H while preventing hair H from falling out, and more reliably straighten and straighten curls and waves in the hair H, or style the hair into the desired shape.
このように、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)の速度が5m/s~50m/sとするのが好ましい。吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)の速度が5m/sよりも遅くなると、毛髪Hを整髪できるほどの引張力とならないおそれがあり、50m/sよりも速くなると、毛髪Hに過剰な引張力が作用し、毛髪Hが抜けたり、毛髪Hが損傷してしまったりするおそれがあるためである。
In this way, it is preferable that the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 is 5 m/s to 50 m/s. If the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 is slower than 5 m/s, there is a risk that the tensile force is not sufficient to style the hair H, and if it is faster than 50 m/s, there is a risk that excessive tensile force will be applied to the hair H, causing the hair H to fall out or become damaged.
さらに、本実施の形態では、毛髪Hに作用する第2方向(Z方向)への力F1が0.05N~5Nとなるように設定している。こうすることで、毛髪Hの抜け等を抑制しつつ毛髪Hの整髪を行うことができる程度の力F1を毛髪Hに与えることができるようにし、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることができるようにしている。
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the force F1 acting on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction) is set to 0.05 N to 5 N. This makes it possible to apply a force F1 to the hair H that is sufficient to style the hair H while preventing the hair H from falling out, etc., and more reliably straighten out any curls or waves in the hair H, or style the hair into a desired shape.
このように、毛髪Hに作用する第2方向(Z方向)への力F1は、0.05N~5Nとなるようにするのが好ましい。毛髪Hに作用する第2方向(Z方向)への力F1が0.05Nよりも小さくなると、毛髪Hを整髪できるほどの引張力とならないおそれがあり、5Nよりも大きくなると、毛髪Hに過剰な引張力が作用し、毛髪Hが抜けたり、毛髪Hが損傷してしまったりするおそれがあるためである。
In this way, it is preferable that the force F1 acting on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction) be between 0.05 N and 5 N. If the force F1 acting on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction) is less than 0.05 N, the tensile force may not be sufficient to style the hair H, and if it is greater than 5 N, excessive tensile force may be applied to the hair H, causing the hair H to fall out or become damaged.
また、本実施の形態では、風スタイラー1が、施術空間S1の幅W1を変えることが可能な可変機構30を備えるようにしている。こうすることで、毛髪Hの量、毛髪Hのくせ、うねりの程度に応じて施術空間S1の幅W1を変えることができるようにし、毛髪Hの施術をより効率的に行うことができるようにしている。
In addition, in this embodiment, the wind styler 1 is equipped with a variable mechanism 30 that can change the width W1 of the treatment space S1. This makes it possible to change the width W1 of the treatment space S1 depending on the amount of hair H, the curl of the hair H, and the degree of undulation, allowing the hair H to be treated more efficiently.
このような構成は、例えば、施術空間S1の幅W1を3段階程度で調節できるようにし、使用者等が所望の幅でロックできる構造とすることで形成することができる。また、施術空間S1の幅W1を連続的に調節できるようにし、使用者等が所望の幅でロックできる構造とすることで形成することもできる。なお、本実施の形態では、第1施術部210を、第1方向(Y方向)で正対する第2施術部220に対して第1方向(Y方向)に相対移動(平行移動)させることで、施術空間S1の幅W1を変えることができるようにしている。そして、このような構成とするための可変機構30としては、例えば、ダイヤル、スイッチ等を用いることができる。
Such a configuration can be achieved, for example, by making the width W1 of the treatment space S1 adjustable in about three stages and allowing the user to lock it at the desired width. It can also be achieved by making the width W1 of the treatment space S1 continuously adjustable and allowing the user to lock it at the desired width. In this embodiment, the width W1 of the treatment space S1 can be changed by moving the first treatment section 210 relative to the second treatment section 220 facing it in the first direction (Y direction) (translating) in the first direction (Y direction). The variable mechanism 30 for achieving such a configuration can be, for example, a dial, a switch, or the like.
また、本実施の形態では、施術空間S1の幅W1を、略5mm~30mmの範囲で変えることができるようにしている。こうすることで、毛髪Hを通しにくくなってしまうことを抑制しつつ、所望の整髪効果が出にくくなってしまうことも抑制できるようにしている。施術空間S1の幅W1を、略5mm~30mmの範囲としたのは、施術空間S1の幅W1が5mmよりも狭くなってしまうと、毛髪Hを通しにくくなってしまう上、毛髪Hに作用する引張力が大きくなりすぎてしまうおそれがあるためである。また、30mmよりも広くなってしまうと、施術部20と毛髪Hの距離が遠くなって、所望の整髪効果が出にくくなってしまうおそれがあるためである。
In addition, in this embodiment, the width W1 of the treatment space S1 can be changed within a range of approximately 5 mm to 30 mm. This makes it possible to prevent the hair H from becoming difficult to pass through, while also preventing the desired hair styling effect from being difficult to achieve. The width W1 of the treatment space S1 is set to a range of approximately 5 mm to 30 mm because if the width W1 of the treatment space S1 is narrower than 5 mm, it will be difficult to pass the hair H through, and there is a risk that the tensile force acting on the hair H will be too large. Furthermore, if it is wider than 30 mm, the distance between the treatment unit 20 and the hair H will be too far, making it difficult to achieve the desired hair styling effect.
また、このような構成をした風スタイラー1を用いて毛髪Hの施術を行う場合、施術する部位によっては、毛髪Hの毛先から根元へ空気(風:流体)を吹き付ける方向に吹出口45が位置してしまい、使用者等の操作性が低下してしまうおそれがある。
Furthermore, when treating hair H using a wind styler 1 configured in this way, depending on the area being treated, the air outlet 45 may be positioned in a direction that blows air (wind: fluid) from the ends of the hair H to the roots, which may reduce operability for the user, etc.
そのため、本実施の形態では、施術部20が、180度回転させることができるようにした状態で把持部10に取り付けられるようにしている。こうすることで、様々な部位で、毛髪Hの根元側から毛先方向へ向けて空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようにし、使用者等の操作性を低下させることなく風スタイラー1を使用できるようにしている。
For this reason, in this embodiment, the treatment unit 20 is attached to the grip unit 10 in a state in which it can be rotated 180 degrees. This makes it possible to blow air (wind: fluid) from the root side of the hair H toward the tip at various parts of the hair, allowing the wind styler 1 to be used without compromising operability for the user, etc.
また、施術部20が、180度回転させることができるようにすれば、容易に毛髪Hの毛先から根元へ空気(風:流)を吹き付けることができるようになり、空気(風:流体)を吹き付けるだけで、毛髪Hにボリュームを持たせるためのバックコーミング施術(毛髪Hを逆立てる施術)を行うことができるようになる。
Furthermore, if the treatment unit 20 can be rotated 180 degrees, it becomes possible to easily blow air (wind: current) from the tips to the roots of the hair H, and by simply blowing air (wind: fluid), it becomes possible to perform a backcombing treatment (treatment that makes the hair H stand on end) to give volume to the hair H.
このように、空気(風:流体)を吹き付けるだけで、バックコーミング施術(毛髪Hを逆立てる施術)を行えるようにすれば、クシで梳かす必要がなくなる。そのため、目の細かい突起物がついたクシと毛髪Hとの摩擦によりキューティクルが剥がれてしまったり、枝毛・切れ毛が発生してしまったりすることを抑制することができるようになる。すなわち、バックコーミング施術(毛髪Hを逆立てる施術)を行う際に生じる摩擦を抑え、毛髪の損傷をより確実に防ぐことができるようになる。
In this way, if backcombing (a treatment that makes the hair H stand on end) can be performed simply by blowing air (wind: fluid), there is no need to comb the hair. This makes it possible to prevent the cuticle from peeling off and split ends and breakage caused by friction between the hair H and the comb with its fine projections. In other words, it is possible to reduce the friction that occurs when performing backcombing (a treatment that makes the hair H stand on end), and more reliably prevent damage to the hair.
以上説明したように、本実施の形態にかかる風スタイラー1は、毛髪Hに、少なくとも1ヵ所以上の吹出口45から施術方向(第2方向:Z方向)に対し、略90°以下の方向に空気(風:流体)を吹き付け、引張力F1を作用させることで、過度な摩擦を作用させることなく、毛髪Hを真っ直ぐ、もしくは所望の形状に整髪させることができる装置である。
As described above, the wind styler 1 of this embodiment is a device that blows air (wind: fluid) from at least one air outlet 45 onto the hair H in a direction that is approximately 90° or less from the treatment direction (second direction: Z direction) and applies a tensile force F1, thereby straightening the hair H or styling it into a desired shape without applying excessive friction.
なお、吹出口45は、図6に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図6は、実施の形態1の変形例にかかる第1施術部210を第1施術面側から視た図である。図6に示す吹出口45は、開口面45aが、短手方向に延在する隔壁46によって複数の開口47に仕切られている。このように、図6に示す吹出口45では、開口面45aが複数の開口47により構成されており、開口面45a全体で、第3方向(X方向)に細長い長方形が形成されるようにしている。こうすることでも、上記実施の形態1と同様の作用、効果を奏することができる。
The air outlet 45 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a view of the first treatment section 210 according to a modified example of embodiment 1, viewed from the first treatment surface side. The air outlet 45 shown in FIG. 6 has an opening surface 45a that is divided into multiple openings 47 by partitions 46 extending in the short direction. In this way, the opening surface 45a of the air outlet 45 shown in FIG. 6 is made up of multiple openings 47, and the opening surface 45a as a whole forms a long and narrow rectangle in the third direction (X direction). This can also provide the same action and effect as embodiment 1 above.
この吹出口45は、長手方向に延在する隔壁をさらに備えていてもよいし、長手方向に延在する隔壁のみを備える構成であってもよい。
This air outlet 45 may further include a partition wall extending in the longitudinal direction, or may be configured to include only a partition wall extending in the longitudinal direction.
また、施術部20は、図7に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図7は、実施の形態1の第1変形例にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1を用いて毛髪の施術を行う状態を模式的に示す図である。図7に示す施術部20においても、第1施術部210および第2施術部220のうち第1施術部210のみに吹出口45が形成されている。そして、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を備えている。図7に示す施術部20においても、この第1吹出口451は、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されている。
The treatment unit 20 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which hair is treated using a wind styler (hair care device) 1 according to a first modified example of the first embodiment. In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 7, an air outlet 45 is formed only in the first treatment unit 210 among the first treatment unit 210 and the second treatment unit 220. The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a first air outlet 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle. In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 7, the first air outlet 451 is connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
また、図7に示す施術部20では、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第2開口面452aを有し、第2開口面452aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鈍角となる第2吹出口452を備えるようにしている。そして、第2吹出口452が、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の下端に連設されている。
In addition, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 7, the air outlet 45 has a second opening surface 452a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a second air outlet 452 in which the angle θ between the second opening surface 452a and the first direction (Y direction) is an obtuse angle. The second air outlet 452 is connected to the lower end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
このように、図7に示す施術部20においては、1つの第1吹出口451と1つの第2吹出口452とで吹出口45を構成している。すなわち、吹出口45が複数設けられている。
In this way, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 7, one first air outlet 451 and one second air outlet 452 constitute the air outlet 45. In other words, multiple air outlets 45 are provided.
こうすることでも、上記実施の形態1と同様の作用、効果を奏することができる。
By doing this, it is possible to achieve the same effects and advantages as in the first embodiment.
さらに、図7に示す施術部20では、毛髪Hの上下の2か所で上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の下方への力F1を作用させるようにしている。こうすることで、施術部20による毛髪Hの施術をより確実に行えるようにしている。
Furthermore, the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 7 applies a downward force F1 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction) at two points above and below the hair H. This allows the treatment unit 20 to more reliably treat the hair H.
また、第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミング、第2吹出口452から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミングを、適宜設定することができるようにすれば、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに様々な力を作用させることができるようになる。
Furthermore, if the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the first air outlet 451 and the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the second air outlet 452 can be set appropriately, it becomes possible to apply various forces to the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
例えば、毛髪Hにねじり方向の引張力を作用させたり、部分的に引張力を作用させたりすることができるようになって、毛髪Hをねじり方向の形状に整髪させたり、ウェーブ形状に整髪させたりすることができるようになる。
For example, it becomes possible to apply a tensile force in a twisting direction to the hair H, or to apply a tensile force partially to the hair H, so that the hair H can be styled in a twisting shape or a wavy shape.
また、施術部20は、図8に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図8は、実施の形態1の第2変形例にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1を用いて毛髪の施術を行う状態を模式的に示す図である。図8に示す施術部20においても、第1施術部210および第2施術部220のうち第1施術部210のみに吹出口45が形成されている。そして、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を備えている。図8に示す施術部20においても、この第1吹出口451は、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されている。
The treatment unit 20 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which hair is treated using a wind styler (hair care device) 1 according to a second modified example of the first embodiment. In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 8, an air outlet 45 is formed only in the first treatment unit 210 among the first treatment unit 210 and the second treatment unit 220. The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a first air outlet 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle. In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 8, the first air outlet 451 is connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
また、図8に示す施術部20では、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長く、第1方向(Y方向)に開口する第3開口面453aを有する第3吹出口453を備えるようにしている。そして、第3吹出口453が、第1吹出口451の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されている。
In addition, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 8, the air outlet 45 is elongated in the third direction (X direction) and includes a third air outlet 453 having a third opening surface 453a that opens in the first direction (Y direction). The third air outlet 453 is connected to the upper end of the first air outlet 451 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
このように、図8に示す施術部20においては、1つの第1吹出口451と1つの第3吹出口453とで吹出口45を構成している。
In this way, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 8, the air outlet 45 is made up of one first air outlet 451 and one third air outlet 453.
また、図8に示す施術部20を備える風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1においても、施術部20を上下反転させた状態で毛髪Hの施術を行うことができるようになっている。このとき、第1吹出口451から空気(風:流体)が吹き付けられるようにしていると、毛先から根元方向に流体を作用させることになるため、毛髪Hをストレート状に整髪することが難しくなってしまう。
Also, in the wind styler (hair care device) 1 equipped with the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 8, the hair H can be treated with the treatment unit 20 turned upside down. In this case, if air (wind: fluid) is blown from the first air outlet 451, the fluid will act from the tip to the root, making it difficult to style the hair H in a straight line.
しかしながら、図8に示す施術部20では、上述したように、吹出口45は、第1吹出口451だけでなく第3吹出口453も備えている。そして、施術部20を上下反転させた状態で、第3吹出口453からのみ空気(風:流体)を吹き出すようにすれば、毛髪Hと空気(風:流体)との位置関係を変わらなくすることが可能になる。そのため、図8に示す施術部20を備える風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1、すなわち、第3吹出口453を備えた風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1とすれば、吹出口45を複数設置したり、ユーザが吹出口45の位置を変えたりすることをしなくても、後頭部の施術を行うことができるようになるという利点がある。
However, in the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 8, as described above, the air outlet 45 includes not only the first air outlet 451 but also the third air outlet 453. If the treatment unit 20 is turned upside down and air (wind: fluid) is blown out only from the third air outlet 453, it is possible to maintain the positional relationship between the hair H and the air (wind: fluid). Therefore, a wind styler (hair care device) 1 including the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 8, i.e., a wind styler (hair care device) 1 including the third air outlet 453, has the advantage that it is possible to treat the back of the head without installing multiple air outlets 45 or the user having to change the position of the air outlet 45.
また、第1吹出口451と第3吹出口453とを備えた風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1とすれば、毛髪Hの2か所に空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようになる。その結果、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
Furthermore, if the wind styler (hair care device) 1 is provided with a first air outlet 451 and a third air outlet 453, it becomes possible to blow air (wind: fluid) onto two points on the hair H. As a result, it becomes possible to more reliably straighten and straighten the curls and waves of the hair H, or style the hair into a desired shape.
具体的には、第3吹出口453から吹き出される空気(風:流体)は、第1方向(Y方向)に沿って毛髪Hに向けて吹き出される。そのため、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hの上方には、第1方向(Y方向)に沿う力F2が作用することになる。
Specifically, the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the third air outlet 453 is blown out along the first direction (Y direction) toward the hair H. Therefore, a force F2 acting along the first direction (Y direction) acts above the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
一方、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hの下方には、第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)によって第2方向(Z方向)への力F1が作用する。
Meanwhile, below the hair H placed in the treatment space S1, a force F1 in the second direction (Z direction) is applied by the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the first air outlet 451.
したがって、第1吹出口451および第3吹出口453から空気(風:流体)を同時に吹き出すようにすれば、毛髪Hを第1方向(Y方向)に沿う力F2によって整列させながら第2方向(Z方向)への力F1を作用させることができる。
Therefore, by blowing air (wind: fluid) simultaneously from the first air outlet 451 and the third air outlet 453, it is possible to align the hair H with a force F2 along the first direction (Y direction) while applying a force F1 in the second direction (Z direction).
したがって、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
As a result, it is possible to more reliably straighten and straighten the curls and waves of the hair H, and style the hair into the desired shape.
このとき、第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミング、第3吹出口453から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミングを、適宜設定することができるようにすれば、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに様々な力を作用させることができるようになる。
At this time, if the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the first air outlet 451 and the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the third air outlet 453 can be set appropriately, various forces can be applied to the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
例えば、毛髪Hにねじり方向の引張力を作用させたり、部分的に引張力を作用させたりすることができるようになって、毛髪Hをねじり方向の形状に整髪させたり、ウェーブ形状に整髪させたりすることができるようになる。
For example, it becomes possible to apply a tensile force in a twisting direction to the hair H, or to apply a tensile force partially to the hair H, so that the hair H can be styled in a twisting shape or a wavy shape.
このように、図8に示す施術部20とすれば、第1方向(Y方向)と第2方向(Z方向)の両方に力を作用させながら毛髪Hを整髪することが可能になる。
In this way, with the treatment unit 20 shown in Figure 8, it becomes possible to style the hair H while applying force in both the first direction (Y direction) and the second direction (Z direction).
また、施術部20は、図9に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図9は、実施の形態1の第3変形例にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1を用いて毛髪の施術を行う状態を模式的に示す図である。図9に示す施術部20においても、第1施術部210および第2施術部220のうち第1施術部210のみに吹出口45が形成されている。そして、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を備えている。図9に示す施術部20においても、この第1吹出口451は、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されている。
The treatment unit 20 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which hair treatment is performed using a wind styler (hair care device) 1 according to a third modified example of the first embodiment. In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 9, an air outlet 45 is formed only in the first treatment unit 210 among the first treatment unit 210 and the second treatment unit 220. The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a first air outlet 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle. In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 9, the first air outlet 451 is connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
また、図9に示す施術部20では、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第2開口面452aを有し、第2開口面452aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鈍角となる第2吹出口452を備えるようにしている。そして、第2吹出口452が、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の下端に連設されている。
In addition, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 9, the air outlet 45 has a second opening surface 452a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a second air outlet 452 in which the angle θ between the second opening surface 452a and the first direction (Y direction) is an obtuse angle. The second air outlet 452 is connected to the lower end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
さらに、図9に示す施術部20では、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長く、第1方向(Y方向)に開口する第3開口面453aを有する第3吹出口453を備えるようにしている。図9に示す施術部20では、2つの第3吹出口453を備えており、2つの第3吹出口453は、第1吹出口451の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端および第2吹出口452の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の下端にそれぞれ連設されている。
Furthermore, in the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 9, the air outlet 45 is elongated in the third direction (X direction) and includes a third air outlet 453 having a third opening surface 453a that opens in the first direction (Y direction). The treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 9 includes two third air outlets 453, which are connected to the upper end of the first air outlet 451 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction) and the lower end of the second air outlet 452 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
このように、図9に示す施術部20においては、1つの第1吹出口451と、1つの第2吹出口452と、2つの第3吹出口453とで吹出口45を構成している。
In this way, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 9, the air outlet 45 is made up of one first air outlet 451, one second air outlet 452, and two third air outlets 453.
こうすることでも、上記実施の形態1、図7、および図8に示す構成と同様の作用、効果を奏することができる。
By doing this, it is possible to achieve the same effects and advantages as the configurations shown in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, Figures 7, and 8.
さらに、図9に示す施術部20では、毛髪Hの上下の2か所に第1方向(Y方向)に沿う力F2を作用させることができるため、毛髪Hをより確実に整列させながら施術することができるようになる。
Furthermore, the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 9 can apply force F2 in the first direction (Y direction) to two points above and below the hair H, so that the hair H can be more reliably aligned while being treated.
また、第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミング、第2吹出口452から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミング、第3吹出口453から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミングを、適宜設定することができるようにすれば、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに様々な力を作用させることができるようになる。
Furthermore, if the volume, speed and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the first air outlet 451, the volume, speed and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the second air outlet 452, and the volume, speed and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the third air outlet 453 can be set appropriately, various forces can be applied to the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
例えば、毛髪Hにねじり方向の引張力を作用させたり、部分的に引張力を作用させたりすることができるようになって、毛髪Hをねじり方向の形状に整髪させたり、ウェーブ形状に整髪させたりすることができるようになる。
For example, it becomes possible to apply a tensile force in a twisting direction to the hair H, or to apply a tensile force partially to the hair H, so that the hair H can be styled in a twisting shape or a wavy shape.
また、施術部20は、図10に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図10は、実施の形態1の第4変形例にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1を用いて毛髪の施術を行う状態を模式的に示す図である。図10に示す施術部20においては、第1施術部210および第2施術部220の両方に吹出口45が形成されている。そのため、第2対向面2211も、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲させ、流体の乱流発生を抑制し流速をより速くできるようにしている。そして、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を2つ備えるようにしている。具体的には、一方の第1吹出口451が、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設され、他方の第1吹出口451が、第2対向面2211の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されるようにしている。
The treatment section 20 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which hair treatment is performed using a wind styler (hair care device) 1 according to a fourth modified example of embodiment 1. In the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 10, an air outlet 45 is formed in both the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220. Therefore, the second opposing surface 2211 is also curved in an approximately arc shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction), so that the generation of turbulent flow of the fluid can be suppressed and the flow speed can be made faster. The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with two first air outlets 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle. Specifically, one of the first air outlets 451 is connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction), and the other first air outlet 451 is connected to the upper end of the second opposing surface 2211 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
このように、図10に示す施術部20においては、2つの第1吹出口451で吹出口45を構成している。
In this way, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 10, the air outlet 45 is made up of two first air outlets 451.
そして、図10に示す施術部20では、第1施術部210および第2施術部220のそれぞれに、第1吹出口451が第1方向(Y方向)で対向するように設けられている。こうすることで、毛髪Hに2方向から空気(風:流体)を吹き付けながら毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようにしている。そして、毛髪Hに作用させる第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などをより大きくすることができるようにし、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることができるようにしている。
In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 10, the first treatment unit 210 and the second treatment unit 220 are each provided with a first air outlet 451 facing each other in the first direction (Y direction). This makes it possible to apply a pulling force or the like in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H while blowing air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H from two directions. This makes it possible to increase the pulling force or the like applied to the hair H in the second direction (Z direction), making it possible to more reliably straighten out any curls or waves in the hair H and straighten it, or to style it into a desired shape.
このように、図10に示す施術部20では、吹出口45が毛髪Hを挟む形で複数設けられている。
In this way, in the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 10, multiple air outlets 45 are provided in a manner that sandwiches the hair H.
また、それぞれの第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミングを、個別に設定できるようにすれば、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに様々な力を作用させることができるようになる。
Furthermore, if the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from each first air outlet 451 can be individually set, it will be possible to apply various forces to the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
例えば、毛髪Hにねじり方向の引張力を作用させたり、部分的に引張力を作用させたりすることができるようになって、毛髪Hをねじり方向の形状に整髪させたり、ウェーブ形状に整髪させたりすることができるようになる。
For example, it becomes possible to apply a tensile force in a twisting direction to the hair H, or to apply a tensile force partially to the hair H, so that the hair H can be styled in a twisting shape or a wavy shape.
なお、吹出口45は第1方向(Y方向)で正対する組が1組~4組となるようにすることが可能である。こうすれば、各吹出口45から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の相殺を抑制しつつ、各吹出口45(第1吹出口451)から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の流速の低下を抑制することが可能になって、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることができるようになる。
It is possible to have 1 to 4 pairs of air outlets 45 facing each other in the first direction (Y direction). This makes it possible to suppress the cancellation of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from each air outlet 45 while suppressing a decrease in the flow rate of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from each air outlet 45 (first air outlet 451), making it possible to more reliably straighten and straighten curls and waves in the hair H, or style the hair into a desired shape.
また、第1方向(Y方向)で正対するように吹出口45を形成し、風スタイラー1が、施術空間S1の幅W1を変えることが可能な可変機構30を備えるようにすることで、複数設けた流体放出部の互いの距離を変えることができるようにしている。
In addition, the air outlets 45 are formed so as to face each other in the first direction (Y direction), and the wind styler 1 is equipped with a variable mechanism 30 that can change the width W1 of the treatment space S1, making it possible to change the distance between the multiple fluid discharge sections.
また、施術部20は、図11に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図11は、実施の形態1の第5変形例にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1を用いて毛髪の施術を行う状態を模式的に示す図である。図11に示す施術部20においても、第1施術部210および第2施術部220の両方に吹出口45が形成されている。そのため、第2対向面2211も、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲させ、流体の乱流発生を抑制し流速をより速くできるようにしている。そして、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を2つ備えるようにしている。具体的には、一方の第1吹出口451が、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設され、他方の第1吹出口451が、第2対向面2211の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されるようにしている。
The treatment section 20 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 11. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which hair treatment is performed using a wind styler (hair care device) 1 according to a fifth modified example of embodiment 1. In the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 11, both the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220 have air outlets 45. Therefore, the second opposing surface 2211 is also curved in an approximately arc shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction), so that the generation of turbulent flow of the fluid can be suppressed and the flow rate can be made faster. The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with two first air outlets 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle. Specifically, one of the first air outlets 451 is connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction), and the other first air outlet 451 is connected to the upper end of the second opposing surface 2211 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
また、図11に示す施術部20では、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第2開口面452aを有し、第2開口面452aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鈍角となる第2吹出口452を2つ備えるようにしている。具体的には、一方の第2吹出口452が、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の下端に連設され、他方の第2吹出口452が、第2対向面2211の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の下端に連設されるようにしている。
In addition, in the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 11, the air outlet 45 has a second opening surface 452a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with two second air outlets 452 in which the angle θ between the second opening surface 452a and the first direction (Y direction) is an obtuse angle. Specifically, one second air outlet 452 is connected to the lower end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction), and the other second air outlet 452 is connected to the lower end of the second opposing surface 2211 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).

In this way, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 11, the air outlet 45 is made up of two first air outlets 451 and two second air outlets 452.
そして、図11に示す施術部20では、第1施術部210および第2施術部220のそれぞれに、第1吹出口451が第1方向(Y方向)で対向するように設けられており、第2吹出口452が第1方向(Y方向)で対向するように設けられている。こうすることで、毛髪Hの上下の2か所において、2方向から空気(風:流体)を吹き付けながら毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようにしている。そして、毛髪Hに作用させる第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などをより大きくすることができるようにし、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることができるようにしている。
In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 11, the first treatment unit 210 and the second treatment unit 220 are each provided with a first air outlet 451 facing each other in the first direction (Y direction), and a second air outlet 452 facing each other in the first direction (Y direction). This makes it possible to apply a pulling force or the like in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H while blowing air (wind: fluid) from two directions at two locations above and below the hair H. This makes it possible to increase the pulling force or the like in the second direction (Z direction) applied to the hair H, making it possible to more reliably straighten out any curls or waves in the hair H and straighten it, or to style the hair into a desired shape.
また、それぞれの第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミング、それぞれの第2吹出口452から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミングを、個別に設定できるようにすれば、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに様々な力を作用させることができるようになる。

In the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 12, an air outlet 45 is formed in both the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220. Therefore, the second opposing surface 2211 is also curved in an approximately arc shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction), so that the generation of turbulence in the fluid can be suppressed and the flow rate can be made faster. The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with two first air outlets 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle.

In this way, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 14, the air outlet 45 is made up of one first air outlet 451 and one second air outlet 452.
こうすることでも、上記実施の形態1、図7に示す構成と同様の作用、効果を奏することができる。
By doing this, it is possible to achieve the same effects and advantages as the configuration shown in FIG. 7 and in the first embodiment above.
また、第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミング、第2吹出口452から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミングを、適宜設定することができるようにすれば、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに様々な力を作用させることができるようになる。
Furthermore, if the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the first air outlet 451 and the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the second air outlet 452 can be set appropriately, it becomes possible to apply various forces to the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
例えば、毛髪Hにねじり方向の引張力を作用させたり、部分的に引張力を作用させたりすることができるようになって、毛髪Hをねじり方向の形状に整髪させたり、ウェーブ形状に整髪させたりすることができるようになる。
For example, it becomes possible to apply a tensile force in a twisting direction to the hair H, or to apply a tensile force partially to the hair H, so that the hair H can be styled in a twisting shape or a wavy shape.
また、施術部20は、図15に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図15は、実施の形態1の第9変形例にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1を用いて毛髪の施術を行う状態を模式的に示す図である。図15に示す施術部20においても、第1施術部210および第2施術部220の両方に吹出口45が形成されている。そのため、第2対向面2211も、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲させ、流体の乱流発生を抑制し流速をより速くできるようにしている。そして、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を備えるようにしている。また、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第2開口面452aを有し、第2開口面452aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鈍角となる第2吹出口452を備えるようにしている。
The treatment section 20 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 15. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which hair treatment is performed using a wind styler (hair care device) 1 according to the ninth modified example of the first embodiment. In the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 15, an air outlet 45 is formed in both the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220. Therefore, the second opposing surface 2211 is also curved in an approximately arc shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction), so that the generation of turbulence in the fluid can be suppressed and the flow rate can be made faster. The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a first air outlet 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle. In addition, the air outlet 45 has a second opening surface 452a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a second air outlet 452 in which the angle θ between the second opening surface 452a and the first direction (Y direction) is an obtuse angle.
ここで、図15では、施術部20が、第1施術部210と第2施術部220との組を2組以上備えているものを例示している。具体的には、図15に示す施術部20は、第1施術部210と第2施術部220との組を2組備えている。そして、各第1施術部210には、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲させた第1対向面2111がそれぞれ形成されており、この2つの第1対向面2111が上下に並ぶように配置されている。同様に、各第2施術部220には、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲させた第2対向面2211がそれぞれ形成されており、この2つの第2対向面2211が上下に並ぶように配置されている。
Here, FIG. 15 illustrates an example of a treatment section 20 having two or more pairs of a first treatment section 210 and a second treatment section 220. Specifically, the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 15 has two pairs of a first treatment section 210 and a second treatment section 220. Each first treatment section 210 is formed with a first opposing surface 2111 curved in a substantially arcuate shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction), and these two first opposing surfaces 2111 are arranged so as to line up vertically. Similarly, each second treatment section 220 is formed with a second opposing surface 2211 curved in a substantially arcuate shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction), and these two second opposing surfaces 2211 are arranged so as to line up vertically.
このように、図15に示す施術部20は、第1方向(Y方向)で互いに対向する施術面(第1対向面2111および第2対向面2211)の組を2組備えている。
In this way, the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 15 has two sets of treatment surfaces (first opposing surface 2111 and second opposing surface 2211) that face each other in the first direction (Y direction).
そして、上側に位置する施術面(第1対向面2111および第2対向面2211)のそれぞれに、第1吹出口451および第2吹出口452が形成されており、下側に位置する施術面(第1対向面2111および第2対向面2211)のそれぞれに、第2吹出口452が形成されている。具体的には、上側に位置する施術面(第1対向面2111および第2対向面2211)の上端に第1吹出口451がそれぞれ連設されており、下端に第2吹出口452がそれぞれ連設されている。そして、下側に位置する施術面(第1対向面2111および第2対向面2211)の下端に第2吹出口452がそれぞれ連設されている。したがって、図15に示す施術部20においては、2つの第1吹出口451と4つの第2吹出口452とで吹出口45を構成している。
The first and second air outlets 451 and 452 are formed on each of the treatment surfaces (first and second opposing surfaces 2111 and 2211) located on the upper side, and the second air outlets 452 are formed on each of the treatment surfaces (first and second opposing surfaces 2111 and 2211) located on the lower side. Specifically, the first air outlets 451 are connected to the upper ends of the treatment surfaces (first and second opposing surfaces 2111 and 2211) located on the upper side, and the second air outlets 452 are connected to the lower ends of the treatment surfaces (first and second opposing surfaces 2111 and 2211) located on the lower side. Therefore, in the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 15, the air outlet 45 is composed of two first air outlets 451 and four second air outlets 452.
このように、施術部20の個数が2以上の偶数となるようにすることで、吹出口45からの空気(風:流体)を毛髪Hのより広範囲に吹き付けることができるようにし、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることができるようにしている。また、互いに対向する施術部の組とすることで、吹出口45から吹き出された空気(風:流体)が施術空間S1の外部に抜けてしまうことを抑制できるようにし、より確実に毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようにしている。
In this way, by making the number of treatment units 20 an even number of two or more, it is possible to blow air (wind: fluid) from the air outlet 45 over a wider area of the hair H, making it possible to more reliably straighten and correct curls and waves in the hair H, or to style the hair into a desired shape. In addition, by forming a pair of treatment units facing each other, it is possible to prevent the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 from escaping outside the treatment space S1, making it possible to more reliably apply a pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H.
また、第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミング、第2吹出口452から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミングを、個別に設定できるようにすれば、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに様々な力を作用させることができるようになる。
Furthermore, if the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the first air outlet 451 and the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the second air outlet 452 can be set individually, it will be possible to apply various forces to the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
例えば、毛髪Hにねじり方向の引張力を作用させたり、部分的に引張力を作用させたりすることができるようになって、毛髪Hをねじり方向の形状に整髪させたり、ウェーブ形状に整髪させたりすることができるようになる。
For example, it becomes possible to apply a tensile force in a twisting direction to the hair H, or to apply a tensile force partially to the hair H, so that the hair H can be styled in a twisting shape or a wavy shape.
また、施術部20は、図16に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図16は、実施の形態1の第10変形例にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1を用いて毛髪の施術を行う状態を模式的に示す図である。図16に示す施術部20においては、第1施術部210および第2施術部220のうち第1施術部210のみに吹出口45が形成されている。そのため、第1対向面2111を、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲させ、流体の乱流発生を抑制し流速をより速くできるようにしている。一方、第2対向面2211は、第2方向(Z方向)および第3方向(X方向)に延在する平坦面としている。
The treatment section 20 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 16. FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which hair is treated using a wind styler (hair care device) 1 according to a tenth modified example of the first embodiment. In the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 16, the blowing outlet 45 is formed only in the first treatment section 210 out of the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220. Therefore, the first opposing surface 2111 is curved in a substantially arc shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction), suppressing the generation of turbulence in the fluid and making the flow rate faster. On the other hand, the second opposing surface 2211 is a flat surface extending in the second direction (Z direction) and the third direction (X direction).
そして、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を備えるようにしている。図16に示す施術部20においても、この第1吹出口451は、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されている。
The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a first air outlet 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle. In the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 16, this first air outlet 451 is also connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
このように、図16に示す施術部20においては、1つの第1吹出口451で吹出口45を構成している。
In this way, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 16, the air outlet 45 is made up of one first air outlet 451.
ここで、図16に示す施術部20では、第1施術部210が第1施術部210の温度を調整(加熱または冷却するように制御)する第1温度調整部213を備えている。この第1温度調整部213は、例えば、第1施術部210の内部に配置することができる。
Here, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 16, the first treatment section 210 is equipped with a first temperature adjustment section 213 that adjusts the temperature of the first treatment section 210 (controls it to heat or cool). This first temperature adjustment section 213 can be disposed, for example, inside the first treatment section 210.
そして、このような第1温度調整部213を設けることで、第1施術部210の温度を調整し、施術空間S1の温度が所望の温度となるようにし、より効率的に毛髪Hの施術を行うことができるようにしている。
By providing such a first temperature adjustment section 213, the temperature of the first treatment section 210 can be adjusted so that the temperature of the treatment space S1 becomes the desired temperature, allowing the hair H to be treated more efficiently.
この第1温度調整部213としても、ヒータなどの加熱源、熱交換器などの冷却源を用いることができる。
This first temperature adjustment unit 213 can be a heating source such as a heater or a cooling source such as a heat exchanger.
なお、第1温度調整部213により調整される第1施術部210の温度は、略10℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
It is preferable that the temperature of the first treatment section 210 be adjusted by the first temperature adjustment section 213 to be approximately 10°C to 250°C.
具体的には、第1施術部210を加熱する場合には、第1施術部210の温度が略50℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
Specifically, when heating the first treatment section 210, it is preferable to heat the first treatment section 210 to a temperature of approximately 50°C to 250°C.
このように、第1施術部210を加熱しながら施術を行うようにすれば、より効率的に、毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。このとき、第1施術部210の温度が50℃よりも低い場合には、毛髪Hを所望の形状となるように整髪することが難しくなってしまう。一方、第1施術部210の温度が250℃よりも高い場合には、毛髪Hに不可逆的な熱ダメージを与え、本来のツヤおよび手触り感を損なってしまうおそれがある。そのため、第1施術部210を加熱する際には、第1施術部210の温度が略50℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
In this way, by performing treatment while heating the first treatment unit 210, it is possible to more efficiently straighten and straighten the curls and waves of the hair H, or to style the hair into the desired shape. At this time, if the temperature of the first treatment unit 210 is lower than 50°C, it becomes difficult to style the hair H into the desired shape. On the other hand, if the temperature of the first treatment unit 210 is higher than 250°C, there is a risk that irreversible thermal damage will be caused to the hair H, and the original luster and feel will be lost. Therefore, when heating the first treatment unit 210, it is preferable to set the temperature of the first treatment unit 210 to approximately 50°C to 250°C.
なお、第1施術部210を加熱しながら施術を行うようにする場合には、消費電力を低減する、装置の大きさを小さくする等の観点から、空気(風:流体)を加熱する加熱源が第1施術部210の加熱も兼ねるようにするのが好ましい。
When performing treatment while heating the first treatment section 210, it is preferable for the heat source that heats the air (wind: fluid) to also heat the first treatment section 210 from the standpoint of reducing power consumption and making the size of the device smaller.
一方、第1施術部210を冷却する場合には、第1施術部210の温度が略10℃~50℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
On the other hand, when cooling the first treatment area 210, it is preferable to set the temperature of the first treatment area 210 to approximately 10°C to 50°C.
このように、第1施術部210を冷却しながら施術を行うようにすれば、整髪した毛髪Hの形状をより容易に維持することができるようになる。このとき、第1施術部210の温度が10℃よりも低い場合には、コンプレッサーまたはペルチェ素子といった構成が必要となって、消費電力が増えてしまったり、装置が大型化してしまったりするおそれがある。一方、第1施術部210の温度が50℃よりも高い場合には、毛髪温度との差が小さくなって、形状を維持する効果が小さくなってしまうおそれがある。そのため、第1施術部210を冷却する場合には、第1施術部210の温度が略10℃~50℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
In this way, by performing the treatment while cooling the first treatment unit 210, it becomes easier to maintain the shape of the styled hair H. At this time, if the temperature of the first treatment unit 210 is lower than 10°C, a configuration such as a compressor or Peltier element will be required, which may increase power consumption and increase the size of the device. On the other hand, if the temperature of the first treatment unit 210 is higher than 50°C, the difference with the hair temperature will be small, and the effect of maintaining the shape may be reduced. Therefore, when cooling the first treatment unit 210, it is preferable to set the temperature of the first treatment unit 210 to approximately 10°C to 50°C.
なお、第1施術部210を冷却しながら施術を行うようにする場合には、消費電力を低減する、装置の大きさを小さくする等の観点から、空気(風:流体)を冷却する冷却源が第1施術部210の冷却も兼ねるようにするのが好ましい。
When performing treatment while cooling the first treatment section 210, it is preferable for the cooling source that cools the air (wind: fluid) to also cool the first treatment section 210 from the standpoint of reducing power consumption and making the size of the device smaller.
以上より、第1温度調整部213により調整される第1施術部210の温度は、略10℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。
In view of the above, it is preferable that the temperature of the first treatment section 210 adjusted by the first temperature adjustment section 213 be between approximately 10°C and 250°C.
また、第1施術部210を加熱または冷却する場合、熱伝導性に優れた金属(ステンレス、銅等)、熱伝導性樹脂(ポリカーボネート樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート樹脂、ポリアセタール樹脂、ナイロン樹脂、変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂等)を用いて第1施術部210を形成するのが好ましい。
In addition, when the first treatment section 210 is heated or cooled, it is preferable to form the first treatment section 210 using a metal with excellent thermal conductivity (stainless steel, copper, etc.) or a thermally conductive resin (polycarbonate resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, polyacetal resin, nylon resin, modified polyphenylene ether resin, etc.).
こうすることでも、上記実施の形態1と同様の作用、効果を奏することができる。
By doing this, it is possible to achieve the same effects and advantages as in the first embodiment.
また、施術部20は、図17に示すような形状とすることも可能である。図17は、実施の形態1の第11変形例にかかる風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1を用いて毛髪の施術を行う状態を模式的に示す図である。図17に示す施術部20においては、第1施術部210および第2施術部220の両方に吹出口45が形成されている。そのため、第1対向面2111および第2対向面2211を、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲させ、流体の乱流発生を抑制し流速をより速くできるようにしている。
The treatment section 20 can also be shaped as shown in FIG. 17. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which hair is treated using a wind styler (hair care device) 1 according to an eleventh modified example of embodiment 1. In the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 17, an outlet 45 is formed in both the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220. Therefore, the first opposing surface 2111 and the second opposing surface 2211 are curved in a substantially arc shape that is convex inward in the first direction (Y direction), suppressing the generation of turbulence in the fluid and enabling the flow speed to be increased.
そして、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を2つ備えるようにしている。具体的には、一方の第1吹出口451が、第1対向面2111の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設され、他方の第1吹出口451が、第2対向面2211の上下方向(第2方向:Z方向)の上端に連設されるようにしている。
The air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with two first air outlets 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle. Specifically, one of the first air outlets 451 is connected to the upper end of the first opposing surface 2111 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction), and the other first air outlet 451 is connected to the upper end of the second opposing surface 2211 in the vertical direction (second direction: Z direction).
このように、図17に示す施術部20においては、2つの第1吹出口451で吹出口45を構成している。
In this way, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 17, the air outlet 45 is made up of two first air outlets 451.
そして、図17に示す施術部20においても、第1施術部210および第2施術部220のそれぞれに、第1吹出口451が第1方向(Y方向)で対向するように設けられている。こうすることで、毛髪Hに2方向から空気(風:流体)を吹き付けながら毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようにしている。そして、毛髪Hに作用させる第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などをより大きくすることができるようにし、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることができるようにしている。
In the treatment unit 20 shown in FIG. 17, the first treatment unit 210 and the second treatment unit 220 each have a first air outlet 451 arranged to face each other in the first direction (Y direction). This makes it possible to apply a pulling force or the like in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H while blowing air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H from two directions. This makes it possible to increase the pulling force or the like applied to the hair H in the second direction (Z direction), making it possible to more reliably straighten out any curls or waves in the hair H and straighten it, or to style the hair into a desired shape.
また、それぞれの第1吹出口451から吹き出される空気(風:流体)の風量、速度、タイミングを、個別に設定できるようにすれば、施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに様々な力を作用させることができるようになる。
Furthermore, if the volume, speed, and timing of the air (wind: fluid) blown out from each first air outlet 451 can be individually set, it will be possible to apply various forces to the hair H placed in the treatment space S1.
例えば、毛髪Hにねじり方向の引張力を作用させたり、部分的に引張力を作用させたりすることができるようになって、毛髪Hをねじり方向の形状に整髪させたり、ウェーブ形状に整髪させたりすることができるようになる。
For example, it becomes possible to apply a tensile force in a twisting direction to the hair H, or to apply a tensile force partially to the hair H, so that the hair H can be styled in a twisting shape or a wavy shape.
さらに、図17に示す施術部20においても、第1施術部210が第1施術部210の温度を調整(加熱または冷却するように制御)する第1温度調整部213を備えており、第1施術部210の温度を調整し、施術空間S1の温度が所望の温度となるようにし、より効率的に毛髪Hの施術を行うことができるようにしている。図17に示す施術部20においても、第1温度調整部213により調整される第1施術部210の温度は、略10℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。そして、第1施術部210を加熱または冷却する場合、熱伝導性に優れた金属(ステンレス、銅等)、熱伝導性樹脂(ポリカーボネート樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート樹脂、ポリアセタール樹脂、ナイロン樹脂、変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂等)を用いて第1施術部210を形成するのが好ましい。
Furthermore, in the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 17, the first treatment section 210 is equipped with a first temperature adjustment section 213 that adjusts the temperature of the first treatment section 210 (controls it to heat or cool), and adjusts the temperature of the first treatment section 210 so that the temperature of the treatment space S1 becomes the desired temperature, allowing the hair H to be treated more efficiently. In the treatment section 20 shown in FIG. 17, the temperature of the first treatment section 210 adjusted by the first temperature adjustment section 213 is preferably set to approximately 10°C to 250°C. When the first treatment section 210 is heated or cooled, it is preferable to form the first treatment section 210 using a metal (stainless steel, copper, etc.) with excellent thermal conductivity or a thermally conductive resin (polycarbonate resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, polyacetal resin, nylon resin, modified polyphenylene ether resin, etc.).
こうすることでも、上記実施の形態1、図10、図16で示した構成と同様の作用、効果を奏することができる。
By doing this, it is possible to achieve the same effects and advantages as the configurations shown in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, Figures 10 and 16.
なお、第2施術部220が、第2施術部220の温度を調整(加熱または冷却するように制御)する第2温度調整部を備えるようにすることも可能である。この第2温度調整部も、例えば、第2施術部220の内部に配置することができる。この場合、第2温度調整部により調整される第2施術部220の温度も、略10℃~250℃となるようにするのが好ましい。また、第2施術部220を加熱または冷却する場合、熱伝導性に優れた金属(ステンレス、銅等)、熱伝導性樹脂(ポリカーボネート樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート樹脂、ポリアセタール樹脂、ナイロン樹脂、変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂等)を用いて第2施術部220を形成するのが好ましい。
It is also possible for the second treatment section 220 to be equipped with a second temperature adjustment section that adjusts the temperature of the second treatment section 220 (controlling it to heat or cool it). This second temperature adjustment section can also be disposed, for example, inside the second treatment section 220. In this case, it is preferable that the temperature of the second treatment section 220 adjusted by the second temperature adjustment section is also set to approximately 10°C to 250°C. Furthermore, when heating or cooling the second treatment section 220, it is preferable to form the second treatment section 220 using a metal with excellent thermal conductivity (stainless steel, copper, etc.) or a thermally conductive resin (polycarbonate resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, polyacetal resin, nylon resin, modified polyphenylene ether resin, etc.).
なお、上記実施の形態1およびその変形例で示した風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1が、ユーザ等の施術対象者の毛髪Hの状態を診断することが可能な毛髪状態診断部を備えるようにすることも可能である。
In addition, the wind styler (hair care device) 1 shown in the above embodiment 1 and its modified examples can also be equipped with a hair condition diagnosis unit that can diagnose the condition of the hair H of the person receiving the treatment, such as a user.
このような毛髪状態診断部は、例えば、施術部20および流体放出機構40の少なくとも一方に設けることができる。ここで、毛髪状態診断部が診断する毛髪状態としては、例えば、毛髪のくせ、うねりの程度、毛髪の径、毛髪の長さ、毛髪の色、毛髪のダメージ状態等が挙げられる。そして、これらの毛髪状態は、例えば、水分または油分を検知するセンサ、光学式センサ、カメラで取得した画像分析等で診断されるようにすることが可能である。
Such a hair condition diagnosis unit can be provided, for example, in at least one of the treatment unit 20 and the fluid discharge mechanism 40. Here, the hair condition diagnosed by the hair condition diagnosis unit can include, for example, hair curl, degree of undulation, hair diameter, hair length, hair color, hair damage state, etc. These hair conditions can be diagnosed, for example, by a sensor that detects moisture or oil, an optical sensor, image analysis acquired by a camera, etc.
そして、上記実施の形態1およびその変形例で示した風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1が、流体放出機構40により吹き出される流体の状態を制御する制御部(流体制御部)を備えるようにし、この制御部が、毛髪状態診断部によって診断された毛髪状態に応じて、流体の風速、温度等の流体の状態を制御するようにしてもよい。こうすることで、例えば、毛髪状態診断部によって診断された毛髪のダメージ状態により、制御部(流体制御部)の動作を制御し、流体の温度を低めにする(流体の温度を制御する)ことができるようになる。
The wind styler (hair care device) 1 shown in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and its modified examples may be provided with a control unit (fluid control unit) that controls the state of the fluid blown out by the fluid discharge mechanism 40, and this control unit may control the state of the fluid, such as the wind speed and temperature of the fluid, depending on the hair condition diagnosed by the hair condition diagnosis unit. In this way, for example, it becomes possible to control the operation of the control unit (fluid control unit) and lower the temperature of the fluid (control the temperature of the fluid) depending on the hair damage state diagnosed by the hair condition diagnosis unit.
なお、毛髪状態の診断またはその診断結果に応じて流体の調整を行う際には、あらかじめ登録しておいたマトリックス情報を使用してもよいし、人工知能技術(以下、「AI技術」という)を使用してもよい。
When diagnosing hair condition or adjusting the fluid based on the results of that diagnosis, pre-registered matrix information may be used, or artificial intelligence technology (hereinafter referred to as "AI technology") may be used.

すなわち、本実施の形態にかかる風スタイラー1は、毛髪Hを施術することが可能な施術部20と、毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることが可能な流体放出機構40と、を備えている。
In other words, the wind styler 1 in this embodiment includes a treatment section 20 capable of treating the hair H, and a fluid emission mechanism 40 capable of blowing air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H.
また、施術部20は、第1施術部210と、第1施術部210の第1対向面2111と第1方向(Y方向)で対向する第2対向面2211を有する第2施術部220と、を備えている。そして、第1対向面2111と第2対向面2211との間には、第1方向(Y方向)と交差する第2方向(Z方向)に延在するように毛髪Hを配置した状態で毛髪Hの施術を行うことが可能な施術空間S1が形成されている。
The treatment unit 20 also includes a first treatment unit 210 and a second treatment unit 220 having a second opposing surface 2211 that faces the first opposing surface 2111 of the first treatment unit 210 in a first direction (Y direction). A treatment space S1 is formed between the first opposing surface 2111 and the second opposing surface 2211, in which treatment can be performed on the hair H while the hair H is positioned so as to extend in a second direction (Z direction) that intersects with the first direction (Y direction).
また、流体放出機構40は、第1方向(Y方向)および第2方向(Z方向)と交差する第3方向(X方向)に細長い開口面45aを有する吹出口45を備えている。
The fluid discharge mechanism 40 also includes an outlet 45 having an elongated opening surface 45a in a third direction (X direction) that intersects with the first direction (Y direction) and the second direction (Z direction).
そして、吹出口45は、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)によって施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への力F1が作用するように構成されている。具体的には、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を備えるようにしている。
The air outlet 45 is configured so that a force F1 in the second direction (Z direction) acts on the hair H placed in the treatment space S1 by the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45. Specifically, the air outlet 45 has a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and is provided with a first air outlet 451 in which the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) is an acute angle.

こうすることで、ブラシ毛(突起物)50で毛髪Hを効率的にほぐしつつ、毛髪Hに吹き付けられた空気(風:流体)によって、毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への強い引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようにしている。そして、より容易且つ確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることができるようにしている。
By doing this, the hair H can be efficiently loosened by the brush bristles (projections) 50, while the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H can exert a strong pulling force on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction). This makes it easier and more reliable to straighten out any curls or waves in the hair H, or to style the hair into a desired shape.

Here, the mist sprayer 7111 is formed to hold a liquid as an agent/organic substance and functions as the discharge section 711. The tank 712 contains an aqueous solution containing, for example, a polymer as an agent/organic substance. The pump 713 is installed in a pipe connecting the tank 712 and the mist sprayer 7111, and sends the polymer aqueous solution contained in the tank 712 to the mist sprayer 7111.

そして、ミスト噴霧器7111とGND電極7112との間に高電圧が印加されると、コロナ放電等が生じ、この放電作用によって高分子を含む剤ミストが生成される。なお、作用させる成分を剤・有機物とする剤噴霧装置は、第1静電霧化装置71のような静電霧化装置に限らず、超音波霧化装置、遠心ポンプ、ヒータなどであってもよい。
When a high voltage is applied between the mist sprayer 7111 and the GND electrode 7112, a corona discharge or the like occurs, and this discharge action generates a mist of agent containing polymers.

In addition, in this embodiment, the ingredient release device 60 is equipped with a charged microparticle release device 80 that can spray charged microparticles onto the hair H. This makes it possible to straighten out curls and waves in the hair H while also achieving the hair-beautifying effect of the charged microparticles.
この帯電微粒子放出装置80は、例えば、作用させる成分を帯電微粒子水とする成分生成装置の一例としての第2静電霧化装置(成分霧化部)81と、帯電微粒子水を毛髪Hに向けて放出することが可能な帯電微粒子放出口83と、第2静電霧化装置81で生成された帯電微粒子水を帯電微粒子放出口83に導くための帯電微粒子通路82と、を備えた構成とすることができる。

As shown in FIG. 22, the second electrostatic atomizer 81 can be configured to include a discharge section 811 having a discharge electrode (first electrode) 8111 and a GND electrode (opposing electrode: second electrode) 8112.

When a high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode 8111 and the GND electrode 8112, a corona discharge or the like occurs, and this discharge action generates charged fine water particles based on the moisture in the air.
このような帯電微粒子放出装置80を設けるようにすれば、第2静電霧化装置81によって霧化された帯電微粒子水が帯電微粒子通路82を通り、施術部20(第2施術部220)に設けられた帯電微粒子放出口83から毛髪Hに吹き付けられるようにすることができる。こうすれば、毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を吹き付けるのと同時に、帯電微粒子水を吹き付けることができ、帯電微粒子水の美髪効果(保湿、ツヤ向上、まとまり感向上など)を得ることができるようになる。
By providing such a charged particle emission device 80, the charged particle water atomized by the second electrostatic atomizer 81 can pass through the charged particle passage 82 and be sprayed onto the hair H from the charged particle emission port 83 provided in the treatment section 20 (second treatment section 220). In this way, the charged particle water can be sprayed at the same time as air (wind: fluid) is sprayed onto the hair H, and the hair-beautifying effects of the charged particle water (moisturizing, improving shine, improving manageability, etc.) can be obtained.
このとき、風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1に毛髪状態診断部および人的検知部の少なくとも一方を設け、毛髪状態診断部の診断結果および人的検知部の検知結果の少なくとも一方に基づいて、帯電微粒子の量等を調整できるようにしてもよい。なお、毛髪状態診断部および人的検知部は、施術部20および流体放出機構40の少なくとも一方に設けることが可能である。また、帯電微粒子の量等の調整の際には、あらかじめ登録されたマトリックス情報を使用することも可能であるし、AI技術を使用することも可能である。
In this case, the wind styler (hair care device) 1 may be provided with at least one of a hair condition diagnosis unit and a human detection unit, and the amount of charged microparticles, etc. may be adjusted based on at least one of the diagnosis results of the hair condition diagnosis unit and the detection results of the human detection unit. The hair condition diagnosis unit and the human detection unit may be provided in at least one of the treatment unit 20 and the fluid emission mechanism 40. When adjusting the amount of charged microparticles, etc., it is also possible to use pre-registered matrix information, or to use AI technology.
また、本実施の形態では、成分放出装置60が、金属微粒子を毛髪Hに吹き付けることが可能な微粒子放出装置90を備えるようにしている。こうすることで、毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしながら、金属微粒子による美髪効果も得ることができるようにしている。
In addition, in this embodiment, the component release device 60 is equipped with a microparticle release device 90 that can spray metal microparticles onto the hair H. This makes it possible to achieve the hair beautifying effect of the metal microparticles while straightening out the curls and waves of the hair H.
この微粒子放出装置90は、例えば、作用させる成分を金属微粒子とする成分生成装置の一例としての第3静電霧化装置(成分霧化部)91と、金属微粒子を毛髪Hに向けて放出することが可能な微粒子放出口94と、第3静電霧化装置91で生成された金属微粒子を微粒子放出口94に導くための微粒子通路93と、を備えた構成とすることができる。
This fine particle emission device 90 can be configured to include, for example, a third electrostatic atomizer (component atomizer) 91 as an example of a component generating device in which the component to be acted upon is metal fine particles, a fine particle emission port 94 capable of emitting the metal fine particles toward the hair H, and a fine particle passage 93 for guiding the metal fine particles generated by the third electrostatic atomizer 91 to the fine particle emission port 94.
ここで、第3静電霧化装置91は、図23に示されるように、金属を含んだ放電電極(第1電極)9111とGND電極(対向電極:第2電極)9112とを有する放電部911を備えた構成とすることができる。また、第3静電霧化装置91は、高圧回路912を備える構成とすることができる。そして、放電電極9111とGND電極9112との間に高電圧が印加されると、コロナ放電等が生じ、この放電作用によって金属の微粒子が生成される。
Here, as shown in FIG. 23, the third electrostatic atomizer 91 can be configured to include a discharge section 911 having a metal-containing discharge electrode (first electrode) 9111 and a GND electrode (opposing electrode: second electrode) 9112. The third electrostatic atomizer 91 can also be configured to include a high-voltage circuit 912. When a high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode 9111 and the GND electrode 9112, a corona discharge or the like occurs, and this discharge action generates metal fine particles.
なお、金属は、例えば、鉄、亜鉛、銅、マンガン、セレン、コバルト、クロム、ヨウ素、ニッケル、フッ素、バナジウム、スズ、ケイ素、チタン、モリブデン、ストロンチウム、ゲルマニウム、金、ニッケル、白金、ロジウム、パラジウム、イリジウム、ルテニウム、またはオスミウムの内、少なくとも一つ以上から構成される。
The metal may be, for example, at least one of iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, cobalt, chromium, iodine, nickel, fluorine, vanadium, tin, silicon, titanium, molybdenum, strontium, germanium, gold, nickel, platinum, rhodium, palladium, iridium, ruthenium, or osmium.
そして、このような微粒子放出装置90を設けるようにすれば、第3静電霧化装置91によって生成された金属微粒子が微粒子通路93を通り、施術部20(第2施術部220)に設けられた微粒子放出口94から毛髪Hに吹き付けられるようにすることができる。こうすれば、毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を吹き付けるのと同時に、金属微粒子を吹き付けることができ、金属微粒子の美髪効果を得ることができるようになる。
By providing such a fine particle emission device 90, the fine metal particles generated by the third electrostatic atomizer 91 can pass through the fine particle passage 93 and be sprayed onto the hair H from the fine particle emission port 94 provided in the treatment section 20 (second treatment section 220). In this way, the fine metal particles can be sprayed at the same time as air (wind: fluid) is blown onto the hair H, and the hair-beautifying effect of the fine metal particles can be achieved.
さらに、本実施の形態では、微粒子放出装置90が、毛髪Hにイオンを吹き付けることができるように構成されている。
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fine particle emission device 90 is configured to be able to spray ions onto the hair H.
具体的には、微粒子放出装置90が、作用させる成分をマイナスイオン(イオン)とする成分生成装置の一例としての第4静電霧化装置(成分霧化部)92を備えるようにしている。
Specifically, the fine particle emission device 90 is equipped with a fourth electrostatic atomization device (component atomization section) 92, which is an example of a component generation device that converts the component to be acted upon into negative ions (ions).
そして、第4静電霧化装置92が、先端が針状に形成された放電電極(第1電極)9211と、中央部が下向きの円弧形状に形成されたGND電極(対向電極:第2電極)9212とを有する放電部921と、高圧回路922と、を備えるようにしている。こうすることで、放電電極9111とGND電極9112との間に高電圧が印加されると、コロナ放電等が生じ、この放電作用によってマイナスイオン(イオン)が生成されるようにしている。
The fourth electrostatic atomizer 92 is equipped with a discharge section 921 having a discharge electrode (first electrode) 9211 with a needle-shaped tip and a GND electrode (opposing electrode: second electrode) 9212 with a downward arc-shaped center, and a high-voltage circuit 922. In this way, when a high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode 9111 and the GND electrode 9112, a corona discharge or the like occurs, and this discharge action generates negative ions (ions).
ここで、本実施の形態では、第4静電霧化装置92で生成されたマイナスイオン(イオン)が微粒子放出口94から毛髪Hに吹き付けられるようにしている。こうすることで、毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしながら、金属微粒子およびマイナスイオン(イオン)による美髪効果も得ることができるようにしている。
In this embodiment, the negative ions (ions) generated by the fourth electrostatic atomizer 92 are sprayed onto the hair H from the fine particle discharge port 94. This makes it possible to straighten out the curls and waves of the hair H while also achieving the hair beautifying effect of the metal fine particles and negative ions (ions).
このとき、第4静電霧化装置92を送り手段42よりも下流側に配置し、送り手段42を駆動することで、第4静電霧化装置92で生成されたマイナスイオン(イオン)を含む流体が、微粒子放電部(放電部911)を通過するように構成することも可能である。こうすれば、微粒子を核としたマイナスイオンが生成され、この微粒子を核としたマイナスイオンを微粒子放出口94から毛髪Hに吹き付けることができるようになる。
In this case, it is also possible to arrange the fourth electrostatic atomizer 92 downstream of the feed means 42, and drive the feed means 42 so that the fluid containing the negative ions (ions) generated by the fourth electrostatic atomizer 92 passes through the microparticle discharge section (discharge section 911). In this way, negative ions are generated with the microparticles as their nuclei, and these negative ions with the microparticles as their nuclei can be sprayed onto the hair H from the microparticle discharge port 94.
このとき、風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1に毛髪状態診断部および人的検知部の少なくとも一方を設け、毛髪状態診断部の診断結果および人的検知部の検知結果の少なくとも一方に基づいて、金属微粒子の量等を調整できるようにしてもよい。なお、毛髪状態診断部および人的検知部は、施術部20および流体放出機構40の少なくとも一方に設けることが可能である。また、金属微粒子の量等の調整の際には、あらかじめ登録されたマトリックス情報を使用することも可能であるし、AI技術を使用することも可能である。
In this case, the wind styler (hair care device) 1 may be provided with at least one of a hair condition diagnosis unit and a human detection unit, and the amount of metal microparticles, etc. may be adjusted based on at least one of the diagnosis results of the hair condition diagnosis unit and the detection results of the human detection unit. The hair condition diagnosis unit and the human detection unit may be provided in at least one of the treatment unit 20 and the fluid release mechanism 40. When adjusting the amount of metal microparticles, etc., it is also possible to use pre-registered matrix information, or AI technology.
なお、帯電微粒子通路82と微粒子通路93、および、帯電微粒子放出口83と微粒子放出口94は、それぞれ共通の通路とすることが可能である。
In addition, the charged microparticle passage 82 and the microparticle passage 93, and the charged microparticle discharge port 83 and the microparticle discharge port 94 can each be a common passage.
また、美容成分については、吹出口45に繋がる通路を設け、吹出口45から空気(流体)と一緒に吹出す構成とすることが可能である。
In addition, it is possible to provide a passageway leading to the outlet 45 so that the beauty ingredients can be blown out from the outlet 45 together with the air (fluid).
以上説明したように、毛髪Hに作用させる成分を毛髪Hに吹き付けることが可能な成分放出装置60を備えるようにした場合、電圧、ヒータまたは超音波のうちいずれか1つ以上の方法で成分を霧化させる構成とすることが可能である。また、流体放出部(吹出口)が、帯電微粒子水、金属微粒子水またはマイナスイオンのうち、いずれか1つ以上を放出することが可能な追加放出部を有するようにすることも可能である。
As explained above, when the component release device 60 capable of spraying the components to be applied to the hair H onto the hair H is provided, it is possible to configure the components to be atomized using one or more of the following methods: voltage, heater, or ultrasonic waves. It is also possible for the fluid release section (outlet) to have an additional release section capable of releasing one or more of the following: charged fine water particles, metal fine water particles, or negative ions.
なお、毛髪Hに作用させる成分として複数種類の成分を用いる場合には、複数の成分の種類をそれぞれ選択できる成分種類選択部を設けるようにすることも可能である。このときに、成分種類選択部において、AI技術により、最適な成分を選択することができるようにすることも可能である。
If multiple types of ingredients are used to act on the hair H, it is also possible to provide an ingredient type selection section that can select each of the multiple ingredient types. In this case, it is also possible to make it possible for the ingredient type selection section to use AI technology to select the optimal ingredient.
さらに、毛髪状態診断部を有する場合には、毛髪状態診断部で得られた毛髪Hの状態データを使用し、毛髪の状態データに応じた適切な成分の霧化量となるように制御する美容成分霧化量制御部を設けるようにすることも可能である。
Furthermore, if a hair condition diagnosis unit is included, it is also possible to provide a beauty ingredient mist amount control unit that uses the condition data of the hair H obtained by the hair condition diagnosis unit and controls the mist amount of the ingredients to be appropriate according to the hair condition data.
そして、成分種類選択部および毛髪状態診断部を有する場合には、成分種類選択部が、毛髪状態診断部で得られた毛髪Hの状態データにより、毛髪Hに塗布した時の効果の状況を考慮しながら成分の種類を選択するようにすることも可能である。
In addition, if an ingredient type selection unit and a hair condition diagnosis unit are provided, the ingredient type selection unit can select the type of ingredient based on the condition data of the hair H obtained by the hair condition diagnosis unit, taking into account the effect of application to the hair H.
[作用・効果]
以下では、上記各実施の形態およびその変形例で示した、ヘアケア装置の特徴的構成およびそれにより得られる効果を説明する。 [Action and Effects]
The characteristic configurations of the hair care devices shown in the above-described embodiments and the modified examples thereof and the effects obtained thereby will be described below.
以下では、上記各実施の形態およびその変形例で示した、ヘアケア装置の特徴的構成およびそれにより得られる効果を説明する。 [Action and Effects]
The characteristic configurations of the hair care devices shown in the above-described embodiments and the modified examples thereof and the effects obtained thereby will be described below.
(技術1)上記各実施の形態およびその変形例で示した風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1は、毛髪Hを施術することが可能な施術部20と、毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることが可能な流体放出機構40と、を備えている。
(Technology 1) The wind styler (hair care device) 1 shown in each of the above embodiments and its modified examples includes a treatment section 20 capable of treating the hair H, and a fluid emission mechanism 40 capable of blowing air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H.
また、施術部20は、第1施術部210と、第1施術部210の第1対向面2111と第1方向(Y方向)で対向する第2対向面2211を有する第2施術部220と、を備えている。そして、第1対向面2111と第2対向面2211との間には、第1方向(Y方向)と交差する第2方向(Z方向)に延在するように毛髪Hを配置した状態で毛髪Hの施術を行うことが可能な施術空間S1が形成されている。
The treatment unit 20 also includes a first treatment unit 210 and a second treatment unit 220 having a second opposing surface 2211 that faces the first opposing surface 2111 of the first treatment unit 210 in a first direction (Y direction). A treatment space S1 is formed between the first opposing surface 2111 and the second opposing surface 2211, in which treatment can be performed on the hair H while the hair H is positioned so as to extend in a second direction (Z direction) that intersects with the first direction (Y direction).
ここで、流体放出機構40は、第1方向(Y方向)および第2方向(Z方向)と交差する第3方向(X方向)に細長い開口面45aを有する吹出口45を備えている。そして、吹出口45は、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)によって施術空間S1に配置された毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への力F1が作用するように構成されている。
Here, the fluid discharge mechanism 40 is equipped with an air outlet 45 having an elongated opening surface 45a in a third direction (X direction) that intersects with the first direction (Y direction) and the second direction (Z direction). The air outlet 45 is configured so that a force F1 in the second direction (Z direction) acts on the hair H placed in the treatment space S1 by the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45.
このように、毛髪Hに空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることで、毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への力F1を作用させるようにすれば、毛髪Hに、例えば、第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などが作用することになる。こうすれば、施術部20で毛髪Hを挟み込まずに毛髪Hに施術を施すことができるようになる。
In this way, by blowing air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H, a force F1 in the second direction (Z direction) is applied to the hair H, so that, for example, a pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) is applied to the hair H. In this way, it becomes possible to perform treatment on the hair H without pinching the hair H with the treatment unit 20.
そのため、毛髪Hの施術時に熱および摩擦が毛髪Hに与える影響をより低減させることが可能になる。その結果、毛髪Hの傷みを低減させつつ毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
This makes it possible to further reduce the effects of heat and friction on the hair H when the hair H is treated. As a result, it becomes possible to straighten the curls and waves of the hair H while reducing damage to the hair H, or to style the hair into a desired shape.
また、第3方向(X方向)に細長い開口面45aを有する吹出口45を備えるようにすれば、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)の流速を速くすることができる上、施術空間S1に配置した毛髪Hのより広範囲に空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようになる。その結果、施術時間の短縮化を図りつつ、より確実に毛髪Hの整髪を行うことができるようになる。
Furthermore, by providing an air outlet 45 having an elongated opening surface 45a in the third direction (X direction), the flow rate of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 can be increased, and the air (wind: fluid) can be blown over a wider area of the hair H placed in the treatment space S1. As a result, the treatment time can be shortened and the hair H can be styled more reliably.
(技術2)また、上記(技術1)において、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第1開口面451aを有し、第1開口面451aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鋭角となる第1吹出口451を備えていてもよい。
(Technology 2) In the above (Technology 1), the air outlet 45 may have a first opening surface 451a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and the angle θ between the first opening surface 451a and the first direction (Y direction) may be an acute angle.
こうすれば、毛髪Hに作用する第2方向(Z方向)への力F1をより大きくすることが可能になる。その結果、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
This makes it possible to increase the force F1 acting on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction). As a result, it becomes possible to more reliably straighten the curls and waves of the hair H, or to style the hair into a desired shape.
(技術3)また、上記(技術1)または(技術2)において、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長い第2開口面452aを有し、第2開口面452aと第1方向(Y方向)とのなす角θが鈍角となる第2吹出口452を備えていてもよい。
(Technology 3) In the above (Technology 1) or (Technology 2), the air outlet 45 may have a second opening surface 452a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction), and the angle θ between the second opening surface 452a and the first direction (Y direction) may be an obtuse angle.
このように、第1吹出口451と第2吹出口452とを備えた風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1とすれば、毛髪Hの2か所に空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようになって、毛髪Hに作用させる第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などをより大きくすることが可能になる。したがって、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, by providing a wind styler (hair care device) 1 with a first air outlet 451 and a second air outlet 452, it becomes possible to blow air (wind: fluid) at two points on the hair H, making it possible to increase the pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) acting on the hair H. This makes it possible to more reliably straighten out curls and waves in the hair H, or style the hair into a desired shape.
(技術4)また、上記(技術1)から(技術3)のうちのいずれかの技術において、吹出口45が、第3方向(X方向)に細長く、第1方向(Y方向)に開口する第3開口面453aを有する第3吹出口453を備えていてもよい。
(Technology 4) In addition, in any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 3), the air outlet 45 may be provided with a third air outlet 453 having a third opening surface 453a that is elongated in the third direction (X direction) and opens in the first direction (Y direction).
このように、第3吹出口453を備えた風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1とすれば、施術部20を上下反転させた場合であっても、毛髪Hと空気(風:流体)との位置関係を変わらなくすることが可能になる。そのため、吹出口45を複数設置したり、使用者等が吹出口45の位置を変えたりすることをしなくても、後頭部の施術を行うことができるようになるという利点がある。
In this way, if the wind styler (hair care device) 1 is equipped with the third air outlet 453, it is possible to maintain the positional relationship between the hair H and the air (wind: fluid) even when the treatment unit 20 is turned upside down. This has the advantage that it becomes possible to treat the back of the head without having to install multiple air outlets 45 or for the user to change the position of the air outlet 45.
また、第1吹出口451および第2吹出口452のうちの少なくともいずれか一方と、第3吹出口453とを備えた風スタイラー(ヘアケア装置)1とすれば、毛髪Hの複数か所に空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようになる。その結果、毛髪Hを第1方向(Y方向)に整列させながら第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などを作用させることが可能になる。その結果、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
Furthermore, if the wind styler (hair care device) 1 is provided with at least one of the first and second air outlets 451 and 452, and the third air outlet 453, it becomes possible to blow air (wind: fluid) onto multiple points of the hair H. As a result, it becomes possible to apply a pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H while aligning it in the first direction (Y direction). As a result, it becomes possible to more reliably straighten out curls and waves in the hair H, or style it into a desired shape.
(技術5)また、上記(技術2)において、第1施術部210および第2施術部220のそれぞれに、第1吹出口451が第1方向(Y方向)で対向するように設けられていてもよい。
(Technology 5) In the above (Technology 2), the first treatment section 210 and the second treatment section 220 may each have a first air outlet 451 arranged to face each other in the first direction (Y direction).
こうすれば、毛髪Hに2方向から空気(風:流体)を吹き付けながら毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようになる。その結果、毛髪Hに作用させる第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などをより大きくすることが可能になって、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, it becomes possible to apply a pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H while blowing air (wind: fluid) onto the hair H from two directions. As a result, it becomes possible to apply a larger pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) to the hair H, making it possible to more reliably straighten out curls and waves in the hair H and to style it into a desired shape.
(技術6)また、上記(技術1)から(技術5)のうちのいずれかの技術において、流体放出機構40が、空気(風:流体)の温度を調整する流体温度調整手段43を備えていてもよい。
(Technology 6) In addition, in any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 5), the fluid discharge mechanism 40 may include a fluid temperature adjustment means 43 that adjusts the temperature of the air (wind: fluid).
こうすれば、温風または冷風を吹き付けながら毛髪Hの施術を行うことができるようになる。その結果、より容易且つ確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, it becomes possible to treat the hair H while blowing hot or cold air onto it. As a result, it becomes possible to more easily and reliably straighten and straighten the curls and waves of the hair H, or style it into the desired shape.
(技術7)また、上記(技術1)から(技術6)のうちのいずれかの技術において、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)の速度が5m/s~50m/sであってもよい。
(Technology 7) In addition, in any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 6), the speed of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 may be 5 m/s to 50 m/s.
こうすれば、毛髪Hの抜け等を抑制しつつ毛髪Hの整髪を行うことができる程度の空気(風:流体)を吹き付けることができるようになる。その結果、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, it becomes possible to blow air (wind: fluid) to the extent that it is possible to style the hair H while suppressing hair loss, etc. As a result, it becomes possible to more reliably straighten and straighten the curls and waves of the hair H, or style the hair into the desired shape.
(技術8)また、上記(技術1)から(技術7)のうちのいずれかの技術において、毛髪Hに作用する第2方向(Z方向)への力F1が0.05N~5Nであってもよい。
(Technology 8) In addition, in any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 7), the force F1 acting on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction) may be 0.05 N to 5 N.
こうすれば、毛髪Hの抜け等を抑制しつつ毛髪Hの整髪を行うことができる程度の力F1を毛髪Hに与えることが可能になる。その結果、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, it becomes possible to apply a force F1 to the hair H that is sufficient to style the hair H while preventing hair loss, etc. As a result, it becomes possible to more reliably straighten the curls and waves of the hair H and style it into the desired shape.
(技術9)また、上記(技術1)から(技術8)のうちのいずれかの技術において、吹出口45から吹き付けられる空気(風:流体)の温度が50℃~250℃であってもよい。
(Technology 9) In addition, in any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 8), the temperature of the air (wind: fluid) blown from the air outlet 45 may be 50°C to 250°C.
こうすれば、熱による影響を毛髪Hに与えてしまうことを抑制しつつ毛髪Hの整髪を行うことができる程度の熱を毛髪Hに加えることが可能になる。その結果、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, it is possible to apply heat to the hair H to the extent that it is possible to style the hair H while minimizing the effects of heat on the hair H. As a result, it is possible to more reliably straighten and straighten the curls and waves of the hair H, or style the hair into the desired shape.
(技術10)また、上記(技術1)から(技術9)のうちのいずれかの技術において、施術部20が、第1施術部210と第2施術部220との組を2組以上備えていてもよい。
(Technology 10) In addition, in any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 9), the treatment unit 20 may include two or more pairs of a first treatment unit 210 and a second treatment unit 220.
このように、施術部20の個数が2以上の偶数となるようにすれば、吹出口45からの空気(風:流体)を毛髪Hのより広範囲に吹き付けることができるようになって、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。また、互いに対向する施術部の組とすれば、吹出口45から吹き出された空気(風:流体)が施術空間S1の外部に抜けてしまうことを抑制することが可能になるため、より確実に毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようになる。
In this way, by making the number of treatment units 20 an even number of two or more, it becomes possible to blow air (wind: fluid) from the air outlet 45 over a wider area of the hair H, making it possible to more reliably straighten and correct curls and waves in the hair H, or to style the hair into a desired shape. Furthermore, by using a pair of treatment units facing each other, it becomes possible to prevent the air (wind: fluid) blown out from the air outlet 45 from escaping outside the treatment space S1, so that a pulling force in the second direction (Z direction) can be more reliably applied to the hair H.
(技術11)また、上記(技術1)から(技術10)のうちいずれかの技術において、施術部20が、温度調整部を備えていてもよい。
(Technology 11) In addition, in any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 10), the treatment unit 20 may be equipped with a temperature adjustment unit.
このように、施術部20に温度調整部を設けることで、施術部の温度を調整できるようにし、施術空間S1の温度が所望の温度となるようにすれば、より効率的に毛髪Hの施術を行うことができるようになる。
In this way, by providing a temperature adjustment unit in the treatment unit 20, it is possible to adjust the temperature of the treatment unit and make the temperature of the treatment space S1 the desired temperature, making it possible to treat the hair H more efficiently.
(技術12)また、上記(技術1)から(技術11)のうちのいずれかの技術において、温度調整部が調整する温度が50℃~250℃であってもよい。
(Technology 12) In any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 11), the temperature adjusted by the temperature adjustment unit may be between 50°C and 250°C.
こうすれば、熱による影響を毛髪Hに与えてしまうことを抑制しつつ毛髪Hの整髪を行うことができる程度の熱を毛髪Hに加えることが可能になる。その結果、より確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, it is possible to apply heat to the hair H to the extent that it is possible to style the hair H while minimizing the effects of heat on the hair H. As a result, it is possible to more reliably straighten and straighten the curls and waves of the hair H, or style the hair into the desired shape.
(技術13)また、上記(技術1)から(技術12)のうちのいずれかの技術において、施術部20が毛髪Hをほぐすことが可能なブラシ毛(突起物)50を有していてもよい。
(Technology 13) In addition, in any of the above (Technology 1) to (Technology 12), the treatment section 20 may have brush bristles (protrusions) 50 capable of loosening the hair H.
こうすれば、ブラシ毛(突起物)50で毛髪Hを効率的にほぐしつつ、毛髪Hに吹き付けられた空気(風:流体)によって、毛髪Hに第2方向(Z方向)への強い引っ張り力などを作用させることができるようになる。その結果、より容易且つ確実に毛髪Hのくせ、うねりを伸ばしてストレートに矯正したり、所望の形状となるように整髪したりすることが可能になる。
In this way, the hair H can be efficiently loosened by the brush bristles (projections) 50, while the air (wind: fluid) blown onto the hair H can exert a strong pulling force on the hair H in the second direction (Z direction).

以上、本開示にかかるヘアケア装置の内容を説明したが、本開示はこれらの記載に限定されるものではなく、種々の変形および改良が可能であることは、当業者には自明である。 [others]
The hair care device according to the present disclosure has been described above, but the present disclosure is not limited to these descriptions, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements are possible.
以上、本開示にかかるヘアケア装置の内容を説明したが、本開示はこれらの記載に限定されるものではなく、種々の変形および改良が可能であることは、当業者には自明である。 [others]
The hair care device according to the present disclosure has been described above, but the present disclosure is not limited to these descriptions, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements are possible.
例えば、上記各実施の形態およびその変形例で示した構成の変更、置き換え、付加、省略などを行った実施の形態に本開示を適用することができる。また、上記各実施の形態およびその変形例で説明した各構成要素を組み合わせて、新たな実施の形態とすることも可能である。
For example, the present disclosure can be applied to embodiments in which the configurations shown in the above embodiments and their variations have been modified, replaced, added, or omitted. It is also possible to combine the components described in the above embodiments and their variations to create new embodiments.
また、例えば、上記各実施の形態およびその変形例では、空気(風)を毛髪Hに吹き付けるようにしたものを例示したが、水などの液体(流体)を毛髪Hに吹き付けるようにしたヘアケア装置とすることも可能である。こうすれば、毛髪の施術を行う際に、吹出口から吹き出された水が毛髪に付与されて、毛髪のガラス転移点を下げることができるようになり、毛髪をより効率的に伸ばすことができるようになる。なお、水などの液体(流体)を毛髪Hに吹き付けるようにする場合、ヘアケア装置に、水保持部、水流路、水放出部(吹出口)等が設けられるようにしてもよい。また、水(液体:流体)を加熱する加熱源を設け、吹出口から吹き付けられる前に水を加熱源で加熱することで、スチーム状の水が水放出部から放出されるようにしてもよい。
In addition, for example, in each of the above embodiments and their modified examples, air (wind) is blown onto the hair H, but it is also possible to make the hair care device blow a liquid (fluid) such as water onto the hair H. In this way, when the hair is treated, the water blown out from the outlet is applied to the hair, which makes it possible to lower the glass transition point of the hair and to stretch the hair more efficiently. When a liquid (fluid) such as water is blown onto the hair H, the hair care device may be provided with a water holding section, a water flow path, a water release section (outlet), etc. Also, a heating source for heating the water (liquid: fluid) may be provided, and the water may be heated by the heating source before being blown out from the outlet, so that steam-like water is released from the water release section.
また、毛髪に空気(風:流体)を吹き付けるのと同時に、水(液体:流体)を吹き付けるようにすることも可能である。こうすれば、毛髪のガラス転移点を水によって下げつつ、空気(風:流体)によって第2方向への力を作用させることが可能になるため、毛髪が伸びやすくなって、毛髪をより効率的に伸ばすことができるようになる。
It is also possible to blow water (liquid: fluid) at the hair at the same time as blowing air (wind: fluid). In this way, the glass transition point of the hair can be lowered by the water, while the air (wind: fluid) can apply a force in a second direction, making it easier for the hair to grow and allowing it to grow more efficiently.
また、ヘアケア装置の構成を、施術部から毛髪に電磁波を照射することができる構成とすることも可能である。例えば、毛髪Hに電磁波を照射することができる電磁波照射部を施術部に設けるようにすることも可能である。こうすれば、毛髪を電磁波のエネルギーで加熱することが可能になるため、毛髪のくせ、うねりを伸ばしたり、所望の形状に整髪したりすることができる効果をより高めることが可能になる。
The hair care device can also be configured so that electromagnetic waves can be irradiated from the treatment section to the hair. For example, it is possible to provide the treatment section with an electromagnetic wave irradiating section that can irradiate electromagnetic waves to the hair H. This makes it possible to heat the hair with the energy of the electromagnetic waves, thereby improving the effect of straightening out curls and waves in the hair and styling it into a desired shape.
なお、ヘアケア装置の構成を、施術部から毛髪に電磁波を照射することができる構成とする場合、施術部から毛髪に2.45GHzのマイクロ波を照射できるように構成するのが好ましい。こうすれば、毛髪内部の水分子が振動し、内部から均一に毛髪を加熱することができるようになる。このような構成とする場合、マイクロ波を発生するマグネトロン、電子回路などを搭載するのが好ましい。
If the hair care device is configured to be able to irradiate electromagnetic waves from the treatment area to the hair, it is preferable to configure it so that microwaves of 2.45 GHz can be irradiated from the treatment area to the hair. This will cause the water molecules inside the hair to vibrate, allowing the hair to be heated evenly from the inside. When configured in this way, it is preferable to have a magnetron that generates microwaves, electronic circuits, etc.
また、施術部から毛髪に750nm~0.1mmの赤外線を照射することで、毛髪を加熱する構成とすることも可能である。このような構成とする場合、赤外線照射のために、ハロゲンヒータ、石英管ヒータなどを使用するのが好ましい。なお、流体による加熱とマイクロ波、光照射を併用してもよいし、マイクロ波、もしくは光単体で毛髪を加熱するようにしてもよい。
It is also possible to heat the hair by irradiating it with infrared rays of 750 nm to 0.1 mm from the treatment area. In such a configuration, it is preferable to use a halogen heater, a quartz tube heater, or the like for infrared irradiation. Note that fluid heating and microwave or light irradiation may be used in combination, or the hair may be heated with microwaves or light alone.
また、施術部20に複数の吹出口45を設ける場合、吹出口45の開口を開閉可能に閉じるフタを設けるようにすることも可能である。そして、施術の用途に応じて選択的にフタの開閉を行うようにし、毛髪を所望の形状とする施術を行うようにすることが可能である。なお、フタの開閉は、手動で行ってもよいし、自動で行ってもよい。なお、自動でフタの開閉を行う場合、センサを設置し、例えば、施術方向(Z方向)をセンサでセンシングすることで、各吹出口のフタの開閉を自動で実施するようにすることも可能である。
Furthermore, when the treatment unit 20 is provided with multiple air outlets 45, it is also possible to provide lids that can close the openings of the air outlets 45 in an openable and closable manner. The lids can be selectively opened and closed depending on the purpose of the treatment, and treatment can be performed to give the hair the desired shape. The lids can be opened and closed manually or automatically. When the lids are opened and closed automatically, it is also possible to install a sensor and, for example, use the sensor to sense the treatment direction (Z direction) so that the lids of each air outlet can be opened and closed automatically.
また、上記各実施の形態およびその変形例では、吹出口45が設けられていない第2施術部220の第2対向面2211が、第1方向(Y方向)に略直交する平坦面となるようにしたものを例示している。しかしながら、吹出口45が設けられていない第2施術部220の第2対向面2211の形状は、このような形状に限られるものではなく、例えば、第1方向(Y方向)の内側に凸となる略円弧状に湾曲させた湾曲面とすることも可能である。
Furthermore, in each of the above-mentioned embodiments and their modified examples, the second opposing surface 2211 of the second treatment section 220, which does not have an air outlet 45, is illustrated as being a flat surface that is approximately perpendicular to the first direction (Y direction). However, the shape of the second opposing surface 2211 of the second treatment section 220, which does not have an air outlet 45, is not limited to this shape, and it is also possible to make it, for example, a curved surface that is curved in an approximately arc shape that convexly faces inward in the first direction (Y direction).
また、複数設けた流体放出部が回転できる構造を持つようにすることも可能である。
It is also possible to design multiple fluid discharge sections so that they can rotate.
また、流体放出部において、吹出口ごとに流体の流速、流体の方向、流体の種類のうち、いずれか1つ以上を制御することが可能な流体制御部を設けるようにすることも可能である。こうすれば、例えば、対向する吹出口が設けられた場合において、対向する吹出口から吹き出す流速に差があるように制御することができるようになる。
Furthermore, it is possible to provide a fluid control unit in the fluid discharge section that can control one or more of the fluid flow speed, fluid direction, and fluid type for each outlet. In this way, for example, when opposing outlets are provided, it becomes possible to control the flow speeds of the fluids blown out from the opposing outlets so that there is a difference.
また、施術部、流体放出機構、その他細部のスペック(形状、大きさ、レイアウト等)も適宜に変更可能である。
In addition, the treatment area, fluid release mechanism, and other detailed specifications (shape, size, layout, etc.) can be changed as appropriate.
以上のように、本開示にかかるヘアケア装置は、熱および摩擦による影響を極力抑制しつつ毛髪の施術を行うことが可能になるので、家庭用および業務用をはじめとする各種のヘアケア装置に利用できる。
As described above, the hair care device disclosed herein is capable of treating hair while minimizing the effects of heat and friction, and can be used in a variety of hair care devices, including those for home and commercial use.
