This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202610138354.5, filed on January 31, 2026, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELDThe present disclosure belongs to the technical field of hairdressing technology, and in particular to a hair styling attachment.
BACKGROUNDConventional hair styling (especially curling) typically involves multiple separate steps: first, wet hair needs to be roughly dried with a hair dryer, and a curling iron or roller is then used to manually wind the hair for heat setting. Existing curling devices that rely on manual winding or mechanical clamping mechanisms easily cause hair pulling and friction, resulting in cuticle damage and hair breakage.
Moreover, although some automatic hair curlers can achieve rotational winding, they still depend on clamping plates or toothed structures to physically fix an end portion of the hair, failing to fundamentally resolve the problems of pulling damage and operational complexity. Therefore, there is an urgent market need for a hair styling tool that integrates drying and styling, is easy to operate, and can protect hair to the greatest extent.
SUMMARY 1 Technical problem to be solvedThe present disclosure provides a hair styling attachment, which is intended to eliminate mechanical pulling and friction on hair caused by clips, teeth, and the like of conventional curling irons, thereby achieving damage-free styling.

an air-guiding structure disposed on the styling body and being in communication with the air cavity;
where the air-guiding structure is configured to form a negative-pressure adsorption zone near the styling surface when a fluid flows through the air cavity, thereby causing the hair to be adsorbed onto the styling surface; and
the styling body is configured to make relative rotational movement with the hair adsorbed onto the styling surface, such that the hair is wound around the styling body.
Further, the air-guiding structure is provided with an air-guiding chamber in communication with the air cavity and an air outlet formed in the air-guiding chamber, and the air outlet is configured to guide the fluid toward the styling surface.
Further, the air-guiding structure further includes a connecting portion and an air-guiding portion in communication with the air-guiding chamber, the connecting portion is provided with a second inclined surface, the air-guiding portion is provided with a first inclined surface, the first inclined surface forms an angle A with a central axis L1 of the air-guiding structure, and the second inclined surface forms an angle B with the central axis L1 of the air-guiding structure.
Further, the angle A is greater than 30° and less than 75°, and the angle B is greater than 15° and less than 60°.
Further, the air-guiding structure has a configuration symmetrically arranged about its own central axis L1, such that two air outlets are formed in a symmetrical arrangement, thereby forming two symmetrical negative-pressure adsorption zones on the styling surface.
Further, the styling surface is provided with a plurality of comb teeth arranged in an array along the styling body, and gaps for accommodating the hair are formed between adjacent comb teeth.
Further, the hair styling attachment further includes a guide member disposed within the air cavity and rotatably connected to the styling body, where an opening is formed in a side wall of the guide member, and an air inlet in communication with the air-guiding structure is formed in the styling body; and a position of the opening relative to the air inlet is changed by rotating the guide member, thereby adjusting distribution of the fluid.
Further, a rotatable groove is formed on the styling body, the guide member includes a flow-guiding portion, and a projection adapted to the rotatable groove is disposed on the flow-guiding portion; and by rotating a rotatable portion of the guide member, the projection moves along a trajectory of the rotatable groove, thereby limiting orientation of the opening to rotate between a first position and a second position.
Further, the rotatable groove is arcuate.
Further, a plurality of air-guiding structures are provided, and are arranged in an array along an axial direction of the styling body.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the beneficial effects:
The present disclosure innovatively provides air-guiding structures of specific configurations on the styling body, and employs the Bernoulli's principle and the Coandă effect to form stable negative-pressure adsorption zones near the styling surface through the high-speed outflowing air, thereby replacing conventional mechanical clamping or manual winding, achieving gentle, damage-free adsorption fixation of hair, and integrating negative-pressure adsorption, rotational winding, and hot air (or cold air) blowing/setting functions into a single attachment. When adsorption occurs, the airflow immediately begins to dry and heat the hair directly attached to the surface, thereby realizing an efficient process of “styling starting upon adsorption.” The operation is simple. The user only needs to bring the hair tips close to the styling surface to achieve automatic adsorption, and then complete winding through simple rotation (manual or automatic operation), thereby reducing the difficulty of operation.

Preferably, the air-guiding structure 2 may be configured as conical, triangular, columnar, cylindrical, or the like. In this embodiment, the air-guiding structure 2 is columnar.
In one embodiment, the air-guiding structure 2 may be disposed obliquely on the styling body 1.

During operation, as shown in
Preferably, the angle A is greater than 30° and less than 75°, and the angle B is greater than 15° and less than 60°. Within these ranges, the angles of the inclined surfaces ensure that the airflow obtains sufficient lateral guiding components to effectively blow toward the styling surface 12 while maintaining smooth transition, avoiding excessive flow resistance and vortices caused by abrupt angle changes, thereby achieving efficient and stable guiding and flowing effects.
In this embodiment, a cross section of the air-guiding portion 23 is triangular, and the air-guiding structure 2 is symmetrically arranged along its own central axis L1, that is, one air-guiding structure 2 includes two air outlets 21, and two first inclined surfaces 231 and two second inclined surfaces 221. Based on this structure, after entering the air-guiding structure 2, the airflow from the air cavity 11 is naturally divided into two streams by the internal symmetrical structure. The two streams then respectively enter elongated flow channels on both sides, are accelerated and directed under the constraint and guidance of the first inclined surfaces 231 and the second inclined surfaces 221, and finally are ejected from the air outlets 21 on the side walls downward at a certain included angle at a high speed and symmetrically toward the styling surface 12. The dual air outlet structure expands an effective action area and achieves more uniform hot air coverage, which helps to improve drying and setting speed and consistency of styling effects, and simultaneously forms two symmetrical negative-pressure adsorption zones on the styling surface 12. This not only enables the hair 3, especially thicker hair bundles, to be adsorbed and attached to the styling surface 12 more quickly and evenly from both sides, but also fundamentally prevents twisting or deviation of the hair 3 due to unilateral force during adsorption and winding, ensuring smooth and stable winding action.
Preferably, the air-guiding structure 2 may be detachably connected, snap-fitted, bonded, screwed, magnetically connected to the styling surface 12, or integrally injection-molded with the styling body 1. In this embodiment, the air-guiding structure 2 is integrally injection-molded with the styling body 1.
Specifically, as shown in
In addition, the two air-guiding structures 2 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis L2 of the styling body 1 in upper and lower directions, that is, they are respectively disposed on an upper side and a lower side of the styling body 1.
The air-guiding structures 2 are arranged adjacent to each other at certain intervals on the styling surface 12. The styling surface 12 serves as an outer peripheral working surface of the styling body 1 and is configured to support the hair 3.
In addition, as shown in
In addition, the comb teeth 4 increase contact points and support points between the styling surface 12 and the hair 3, which not only more stably supports the hair 3 but also facilitates more uniform transfer of heat or cold to the hair 3 through contact conduction. Moreover, the gaps 41 between the comb teeth 4 form natural airflow channels, wall-attached airflow ejected from the air-guiding structures 2 can flow along these natural airflow channels, such that the negative-pressure effect can act not only on a side of the hair 3 facing the styling surface 12, but also penetrate between the hair bundles, thereby producing a more three-dimensional and more secure adsorption effect.
Further, as shown in
Specifically, as shown in
Preferably, the guide member 5 is cylindrical.
Further, as shown in
Embodiment 1: The opening 51 is circumferentially arranged along an entire circumferential wall of the flow-guiding portion 52. This configuration enables the airflow to uniformly flow to all air-guiding structures 2, thereby achieving balanced air supply on an entire circumference.
Embodiment 2: The opening 51 is arranged only on half of the circumferential wall of the flow-guiding portion 52, while the other half of the circumferential wall is in a sealed state. By rotating the rotatable portion 53, a circumferential position of the opening 51 may be changed, thereby selectively guiding the airflow to portions of the air-guiding structures 2 corresponding to the opening 51, achieving partitioned or directional air supply. In the present disclosure, the opening 51 of the guide member 5 is configured as in Embodiment 2.

Further, in order to achieve rapid assembly with the styling body 1, the second snap-fit block 7 is further provided with a third snap-fit hook 72, and an outer surface of the styling body 1 is provided with a fourth snap-fit hook 16 matching the third snap-fit hook 72. During installation, by aligning and pressing the third snap-fit hook 72 with the fourth snap-fit hook 16, a reliable snap-fit connection between the second snap-fit block 7 and the styling body 1 can be achieved, thereby completing structural fixation of the attachment to a connection end of the hair dryer main body.
Working principle of the present disclosure will be described in detail below:
The main unit is started, and hot/cold air is pumped into the air cavity inside the styling body and is ejected at a high speed through the air outlets of the air-guiding structures along a tangent or at a specific angle to the styling surface. According to Bernoulli's principle and Coandă effect, the high-speed airflow generates a stable negative-pressure adsorption zone near the styling surface; the user brings the hair tips close to the styling surface, and under the action of the negative pressure, the hair tips are gently adsorbed and tightly attached to the styling surface, completing the initial fixation for styling; and the hair roots are kept relatively stationary for rotational winding and drying/setting at the same time while the styling body rotates about its own axis (manually by the user or driven by a motor). Since the hair tips have been adsorbed and fixed, the hair is automatically and uniformly spirally wound around the styling body. The negative-pressure adsorption zone is maintained to ensure that the wound hair remains attached; and the wet hair wound around the styling body is directly blown to accelerate moisture evaporation simultaneously, thereby achieving drying; the attached hair is uniformly heated (or cooled) by hot air (or cold air) for setting; after winding to a desired position, the airflow is maintained for a short period to complete final setting. After the airflow is turned off or switched, the negative pressure disappears, and the formed curls may be easily removed, obtaining a hairstyle with uniform curl and good elasticity.
The innovation of the present disclosure lies in a novel design that provides air-guiding structures of specific configurations on the styling body, and employs Bernoulli's principle and Coandă effect to form stable negative-pressure adsorption zones near the styling surface through the high-speed outflowing air, thereby replacing conventional mechanical clamping or manual winding, achieving gentle, damage-free adsorption fixation of hair, and integrating negative-pressure adsorption, rotational winding, and hot air (or cold air) blowing/setting functions into a single attachment. When adsorption occurs, the airflow immediately begins to directly dry and heat the hair attached to the surface, thereby realizing an efficient process of “styling starting upon adsorption.” The operation is simple. The user only needs to bring the hair tips close to the styling surface to achieve automatic adsorption, and then complete winding by means of simple rotation (manual or automatic operation), thereby reducing the difficulty of operation.

Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as illustrative and non-restrictive no matter from which point of view.
