Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Technical Field of the Invention> The present invention involves installing a hair curler for setting hair in the steam hole of a steam generator that generates steam, and using the steam from the steam hole of the steam generator to set the hair curler. This relates to a steam-type heating accelerator.

<Prior Art> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this type of conventional steam-type hair setter has a power cord 5 formed by inserting a cord bush 4 into a lower body 3 having a number of through holes 2 in the bottom 1. An upper body 9 having connected heating electrodes 6 and 7 and a steam hole 8 is attached with screws 10 to form a steam generator body 11.
A steam hole 1 communicating with the steam hole 8 is located around the steam hole 8.
2, a hair curler 13 having air permeability for hair styling is provided with an installation part 15 for a curler stand 14;
A tank 16 that supplies water to the steam generator main body 11
The power cord 5 of the steam generator 17 is connected to a power source to energize the heating electrodes 6 and 7, and the hair curler 13 is connected to the installation part 15 of the steam generator 17. A curler table 14 is installed, and the water 18 in the tank 16 is heated by the heating electrodes 6 and 7 of the steam generator 17 using the electric resistance of the water 18 to generate steam 19 and the steam is heated. 19 is ejected from the steam holes 8 and 12, the hair curler 13 is heated by the steam 19, the heated hair curler 13 is wound around the hair, and appropriate humidity and temperature are supplied to the hair to set the hair. It is configured to do the following.

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

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

A predetermined amount of water is supplied onto the steam generator 37, and a predetermined amount of steam a is generated from the steam generator 37. In addition, a water absorber 32 is installed in the heater 30 of the steam generator 37.
is provided, water supplied from the water supply tank 62 via the water supply pipe 39 flows to the water absorbent body 32.
water is absorbed into the heater 30 of the steam generator 37.
When steam a is generated, water droplets are prevented from forming water beads due to surface tension, and steam a is efficiently generated.
can be generated. And hair curler 5
7 is installed and pressed by the installation body 58, the closing body 85 of the hair curler 57 is in a state where a predetermined portion protrudes from the steam supply hole 70 of the hair curler 57, and the hair curler 57 is heated to a predetermined temperature by the steam a. When humidified, the hair curler 5
The hair curler 57 is removed from the installation body 58 by holding the knob 83 of the closure body 85 of No. 7, and therefore, when the hair curler 57 is taken out from the installation body 58, steam
The hair curler 5 does not touch your hands, and the hair curler 5
Wrapping of hair around 7 can also be done very easily.

<Effects of the invention> The steam-type hair setter of the invention uses the hair curler to operate the water supply device to supply water to the heating device and generate steam, so steam is generated even when the hair curler is not installed and not in use. This can prevent the risk of burns caused by this steam.

In addition, the water supply body prevents the water supplied from the water supply device from becoming water beads due to surface tension.
Steam can be generated instantly and efficiently, and the waiting time for using a hair curler can be shortened.
