Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings showing embodiments thereof.
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a side view of the hair dryer according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the hair dryer according to the first embodiment. The hair dryer has a configuration in which a grip 2 is attached to a cylindrical housing 1. One end of the housing 1 is an intake port 11, the other end is an exhaust port 12, and the interior of the housing 1 is an air passage. A net-plate-like intake port cover is attached to the intake port 11. Air that has passed through the air inlet cover is sucked into the housing 1 from the air inlet 11. The intake port 11 may be provided on the side surface of the housing 1. The grip 2 is provided with an operation unit 21 that is operated by the user to operate the hair dryer. The grip 2 is connected to a power cord (not shown). The hair dryer is supplied with electric power from the outside through a power cord. Moreover, the hair dryer is provided with the cover body 3 used so that a part of user's head may be covered. The cover body 3 is detachable from the housing 1.

 図3は、カバー体3をハウジング1から分離した状態のヘアドライヤの側面図である。図4は、カバー体3をハウジング1から分離した状態のヘアドライヤの斜視図である。カバー体3は、略筒状であり、風路を構成している。風路の一端は、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着される際に排気口12に連結される連結口32になっている。風路の他端は、排気口12よりも大きい開口部31になっている。カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された状態では、排気口12から放出された空気は、カバー体3内の風路を通り、開口部31から放出される。 FIG. 3 is a side view of the hair dryer in a state in which the cover body 3 is separated from the housing 1. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the hair dryer in a state in which the cover body 3 is separated from the housing 1. The cover body 3 is substantially cylindrical and forms an air path. One end of the air passage is a connection port 32 that is connected to the exhaust port 12 when the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1. The other end of the air passage is an opening 31 larger than the exhaust port 12. In a state where the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1, the air discharged from the exhaust port 12 passes through the air passage in the cover body 3 and is discharged from the opening 31.

 図5は、実施形態1に係るヘアドライヤの使用形態例を示す模式図である。使用者は、開口部31を使用者の頭部に対向させ、カバー体3で頭部の一部を覆うようにして、ヘアドライヤを保持する。このとき、開口部31は、使用者の頭部に接触又は近接している。排気口12から放出された空気は、使用者の頭部のカバー体3で覆われた部分に吹き付けられる。カバー体3は、風路内に、使用者の頭部を刺激するための頭部刺激体33を備えている。図4に示すように、頭部刺激体33は、人の手を模した形状になっている。頭部刺激体33は、指を模した複数の棒状体331を有している。複数の棒状体331は、先端を開口部31を通してカバー体3の外側へ向けて配置されている。図5に示すようにヘアドライヤを使用した場合は、頭部刺激体33は使用者の頭部に接触する。特に、各棒状体331は、頭髪をかき分けて先端が頭皮に接触し、頭皮を刺激する。この様にして、頭部刺激体33は使用者の頭部を刺激することができる。 FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a usage example of the hair dryer according to the first embodiment. The user holds the hair dryer so that the opening 31 faces the user's head and the cover 3 covers a part of the head. At this time, the opening 31 is in contact with or close to the user's head. The air discharged from the exhaust port 12 is blown to the portion covered with the cover body 3 on the user's head. The cover body 3 includes a head stimulating body 33 for stimulating the user's head in the air passage. As shown in FIG. 4, the head stimulator 33 has a shape imitating a human hand. The head stimulating body 33 has a plurality of rod-like bodies 331 simulating fingers. The plurality of rod-shaped bodies 331 are arranged with their tips directed toward the outside of the cover body 3 through the opening 31. As shown in FIG. 5, when a hair dryer is used, the head stimulator 33 contacts the user's head. In particular, each rod-like body 331 stimulates the scalp by scraping the hair and making the tip contact the scalp. In this way, the head stimulator 33 can stimulate the user's head.

 また、カバー体3は、頭部刺激体33がカバー体3の本体に連結する部分に弾性部品を備えている。頭部刺激体33が必要以上に強い力で使用者の頭部に押し付けられた場合でも、押し付ける力は弾性部品に吸収され、頭部には適度な刺激が与えられる。 Further, the cover body 3 includes an elastic part at a portion where the head stimulating body 33 is connected to the main body of the cover body 3. Even when the head stimulating body 33 is pressed against the user's head with a force stronger than necessary, the pressing force is absorbed by the elastic parts, and an appropriate stimulus is given to the head.

 図6は、実施形態1に係るヘアドライヤの内部構造を示す側断面図である。ハウジング1の内部には、ハウジング1の筒長方向に送風する送風機14が配置されている。図6には送風機14が軸流ファンである例を示している。送風機14が動作することによって、外部の空気が吸気口11から吸入され、ハウジング1の内部を風路として気流が発生し、排気口12から気流が放出される。送風機14と排気口12との間には、空気を加温するヒータ15が配置されている。例えば、ヒータ15は、ハウジング1内に配置された支持板に電熱線を巻き付けた構成となっている。ヒータ15は、ハウジング1内の空気を加温し、排気口12から放出される気流を温風にする。 FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing the internal structure of the hair dryer according to the first embodiment. A blower 14 that blows air in the cylinder length direction of the housing 1 is disposed inside the housing 1. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the blower 14 is an axial fan. By operating the blower 14, external air is sucked from the air inlet 11, an air current is generated using the inside of the housing 1 as an air path, and an air current is discharged from the exhaust port 12. A heater 15 for heating air is disposed between the blower 14 and the exhaust port 12. For example, the heater 15 has a configuration in which a heating wire is wound around a support plate disposed in the housing 1. The heater 15 warms the air in the housing 1 and turns the airflow discharged from the exhaust port 12 into warm air.

 ヘアドライヤは、空気中に空気イオン(帯電粒子)を発生させるイオン発生ユニット(帯電粒子発生部)16を備えている。イオン発生ユニット16は、ハウジング1内に配置されている。イオン発生ユニット16は、針状の放電電極と、放電電極の周囲を囲む円環状の誘導電極とを備えている。放電電極と誘電電極との間に電圧が印加されてコロナ放電が発生し、コロナ放電によって放電電極の周囲に空気イオンが発生する。イオン発生ユニット16は、H+ (H2 O)m 等の正の空気イオンとO2 -(H2 O)n 等の負の空気イオンとの両方を発生させるために、放電電極及び誘電電極の組を二組有している。イオン発生ユニット16は、ハウジング1内の空気中に、正及び負の空気イオンを発生させる。イオン発生ユニット16が発生させた空気イオンは、ハウジング1内の空気に混入し、空気イオンを含んだ気流が排気口12から放出される。 The hair dryer includes an ion generation unit (charged particle generation unit) 16 that generates air ions (charged particles) in the air. The ion generation unit 16 is disposed in the housing 1. The ion generation unit 16 includes a needle-like discharge electrode and an annular induction electrode surrounding the discharge electrode. A voltage is applied between the discharge electrode and the dielectric electrode to generate corona discharge, and air ions are generated around the discharge electrode by the corona discharge. The ion generation unit 16 generates both a positive air ion such as H + (H 2 O) m and a negative air ion such as O 2 (H 2 O) n to generate a discharge electrode and a dielectric electrode. There are two sets. The ion generation unit 16 generates positive and negative air ions in the air in the housing 1. Air ions generated by the ion generation unit 16 are mixed into the air in the housing 1, and an air flow containing air ions is discharged from the exhaust port 12.

 ヘアドライヤは、各部分の動作を制御する制御部17を備えている。制御部17は、操作部21、送風機14、ヒータ15及びイオン発生ユニット16に接続されている。制御部17は、操作部21が受け付けた使用者からの操作に従って、送風機14、ヒータ15及びイオン発生ユニット16の動作を制御する。ヒータ15及び制御部17は、加温部に対応する。 The hair dryer includes a control unit 17 that controls the operation of each part. The control unit 17 is connected to the operation unit 21, the blower 14, the heater 15, and the ion generation unit 16. The control unit 17 controls the operations of the blower 14, the heater 15, and the ion generation unit 16 in accordance with the operation from the user received by the operation unit 21. The heater 15 and the control unit 17 correspond to a heating unit.

 更に、ヘアドライヤは、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された場合に押下される押下スイッチ13を備えている。図4及び図6に示すように、押下スイッチ13は、ハウジング1に装着されるカバー体3に対向する位置に配置されている。押下スイッチ13は、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された場合に押下された状態になっており、カバー体3が装着されていない場合は押下されていない状態になる。押下スイッチ13は、制御部17に接続されている。制御部17は、押下スイッチ13が押下されている場合に、ヒータ15の動作を禁止する。また、制御部17は、押下スイッチ13が押下されていない場合に、ヒータ15の動作を可能にする。この様に、ヘアドライヤは、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された状態ではヒータ15で空気を加温しないようになっている。 Furthermore, the hair dryer is provided with a push switch 13 that is pressed when the cover body 3 is attached to the housing 1. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the push switch 13 is disposed at a position facing the cover body 3 attached to the housing 1. The push switch 13 is pressed when the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1, and is not pressed when the cover body 3 is not mounted. The push switch 13 is connected to the control unit 17. The control unit 17 prohibits the operation of the heater 15 when the push switch 13 is pressed. In addition, the control unit 17 enables the operation of the heater 15 when the push switch 13 is not pressed. In this way, the hair dryer does not heat the air with the heater 15 in a state where the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1.

 図5に示す状態で、使用者が操作部21を操作した場合、制御部17は、送風機14及びイオン発生ユニット16を動作させる。空気イオンを含んだ空気が排気口12から放出され、カバー体3内の風路を通り、使用者の頭部に当たる。放出された空気は直ぐには散逸せず、使用者の頭部の一部を覆うカバー体3の内部にある程度の時間滞留する。このため、空気に含まれる空気イオンは、散逸せずにカバー体3の内部に滞留し、使用者の頭部のカバー体3で覆われた部分に集中して作用する。空気イオンが集中して作用することにより、カバー体3で覆われた部分に含まれる頭髪及び頭皮には、従来よりも高密度の空気イオンが作用する。空気イオンがカバー体3の内部に滞留することにより、頭髪及び頭皮に空気イオンが作用する時間が従来よりも長くなる。また、頭部刺激体33の複数の棒状体331が頭髪をかき分けた状態で空気イオンを含んだ空気が頭部に当たるので、空気イオンが頭髪及び頭皮に効率的に接触し、空気イオンは高い効率で頭髪及び頭皮に作用する。このため、頭髪及び頭皮に対して除電、除菌及び保湿が行われる等、頭髪及び頭皮の環境が改善される効果が向上する。また、使用者の頭皮は頭部刺激体33によって刺激されながら空気イオンが作用することにより、頭皮の環境が改善される効果の向上がより期待される。 In the state shown in FIG. 5, when the user operates the operation unit 21, the control unit 17 operates the blower 14 and the ion generation unit 16. Air containing air ions is released from the exhaust port 12, passes through the air passage in the cover body 3, and hits the user's head. The discharged air is not immediately dissipated, but stays in the cover body 3 covering a part of the user's head for a certain period of time. For this reason, the air ions contained in the air stay inside the cover body 3 without being dissipated, and concentrate on the portion covered with the cover body 3 on the user's head. When air ions concentrate and act on the hair and scalp included in the portion covered with the cover body 3, air ions with a higher density than the conventional ones act. When the air ions stay inside the cover body 3, the time during which the air ions act on the hair and scalp becomes longer than before. In addition, since the air containing air ions hits the head with the plurality of rod-like bodies 331 of the head stimulating body 33 separating the head hair, the air ions efficiently contact the hair and scalp, and the air ions have high efficiency. Acts on the hair and scalp. For this reason, the effect of improving the environment of the hair and scalp is improved, for example, static elimination, sterilization and moisturizing are performed on the hair and scalp. Further, since the user's scalp is stimulated by the head stimulator 33 and air ions act on it, the effect of improving the scalp environment is expected more.

 また、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された状態では、ヒータ15で空気を加温しないので、加温された空気が排気口12から放出されることは無い。空気が加温されている場合、加温された空気が使用者の頭部の一部に集中して当たり続けることとなり、放熱も困難であるので、使用者が火傷を負う虞がある。本実施形態では、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された状態では空気は加温されないので、加温されていない空気が使用者の頭部に当たることになり、使用者が火傷を負う可能性は低い。 In the state where the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1, since the air is not heated by the heater 15, the heated air is not discharged from the exhaust port 12. When the air is heated, the heated air concentrates on a part of the user's head and continues to hit, and heat dissipation is difficult, so the user may be burned. In the present embodiment, since the air is not heated in a state where the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1, the unheated air hits the user's head, and the user may be burned. Low.

 また、制御部17は、図示しない温度センサを用いて、ハウジング1内の風路を通る空気の温度を測定し、空気の温度が所定の温度以上にならないように、温度の測定結果に応じてヒータ15の動作を制御する。例えば、制御部17は、PID(Proportional-Integral-Differential)制御により、空気の温度を調整する。損傷等の原因により押下スイッチ13が正常に動作しなかった場合は、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された状態でも空気が加温され、使用者が火傷を負う虞がある。本実施形態では、所定の温度以上にならないように空気の温度を調整することにより、押下スイッチ13が正常に動作しなかった場合でも、火傷の発生を抑制する。 Moreover, the control part 17 measures the temperature of the air which passes along the air path in the housing 1 using the temperature sensor which is not illustrated, and according to the measurement result of temperature so that the temperature of air may not become predetermined temperature or more. The operation of the heater 15 is controlled. For example, the control unit 17 adjusts the temperature of the air by PID (Proportional-Integral-Differential) control. If the push switch 13 does not operate normally due to damage or the like, the air is heated even when the cover body 3 is attached to the housing 1, and the user may be burned. In the present embodiment, by adjusting the air temperature so as not to exceed a predetermined temperature, the occurrence of burns is suppressed even when the push switch 13 does not operate normally.

 更に、ヘアドライヤは、ハウジング1に対して着脱可能なノズル4を備えている。図7は、ハウジング1にノズル4が装着された状態のヘアドライヤの側面図であり、図8は、ノズル4をハウジング1から分離した状態のヘアドライヤの斜視図である。ノズル4は、カバー体3と交換してハウジング1に装着される。ノズル4は、排気口12に連結してハウジング1に装着され、排気口12から放出された空気を絞って放出する。また、ノズル4は、ハウジング1に装着された場合に押下スイッチ13を押下しない形状になっている。従って、ノズル4がハウジング1に装着された状態で、制御部17はヒータ15を動作させ、ヒータ15は空気を加温し、加温された空気がノズル4を通って放出される。使用者は、従来のヘアドライヤと同様に、加温された空気を利用して乾燥の作業を行うことができる。 Further, the hair dryer is provided with a nozzle 4 that can be attached to and detached from the housing 1. FIG. 7 is a side view of the hair dryer with the nozzle 4 mounted on the housing 1, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the hair dryer with the nozzle 4 separated from the housing 1. The nozzle 4 is attached to the housing 1 in exchange for the cover body 3. The nozzle 4 is connected to the exhaust port 12 and attached to the housing 1 to squeeze and discharge the air discharged from the exhaust port 12. In addition, the nozzle 4 is shaped so as not to press down the push switch 13 when mounted on the housing 1. Therefore, in a state where the nozzle 4 is mounted on the housing 1, the controller 17 operates the heater 15, the heater 15 heats the air, and the heated air is discharged through the nozzle 4. The user can perform a drying operation using warmed air, as in a conventional hair dryer.

 使用者は、実施の形態1と同様に、開口部31を使用者の頭部に対向させ、カバー体3で頭部の一部を覆うようにして、ヘアドライヤを保持する。このとき、開口部31は使用者の頭部に接触又は近接し、椀状体34は凹面を使用者の頭部に対向させて頭部の一部に被さる。椀状体34の凹面が使用者の頭部に接触又は近接し、突起342が頭髪をかき分けて頭皮に接触し、頭皮を刺激する。取り付け具35は、椀状体34を頭部へ押し付ける力を吸収する機能を有している。椀状体34が必要以上に強い力で使用者の頭部に押し付けられた場合でも、押し付ける力は取り付け具35に吸収され、頭部には適度な刺激が与えられる。 As in the first embodiment, the user holds the hair dryer so that the opening 31 faces the user's head and the cover 3 covers a part of the head. At this time, the opening 31 is in contact with or close to the user's head, and the bowl 34 covers a part of the head with the concave surface facing the user's head. The concave surface of the rod-shaped body 34 is in contact with or close to the user's head, and the protrusion 342 scrapes the hair and contacts the scalp to stimulate the scalp. The attachment 35 has a function of absorbing the force that presses the bowl-shaped body 34 against the head. Even when the rod-shaped body 34 is pressed against the user's head with an unnecessarily strong force, the pressing force is absorbed by the fixture 35 and an appropriate stimulus is given to the head.

 使用者がヘアドライヤを動作させた場合、空気イオンを含んだ空気が排気口12から放出され、散逸せずにカバー体3の内部に滞留する。空気イオンを含んだ空気は、孔341を通り、使用者の頭部に接触する。このため、空気イオンは、使用者の頭部の椀状体34で覆われた部分に集中して作用する。頭髪及び頭皮には、従来よりも高密度の空気イオンが作用し、頭髪及び頭皮に空気イオンが作用する時間が従来よりも長くなる。また、突起342が頭髪をかき分けた状態で空気イオンを含んだ空気が頭部に当たるので、空気イオンが頭髪及び頭皮に効率的に接触し、空気イオンは高い効率で頭髪及び頭皮に作用する。従って、本実施形態においても、空気イオンによって頭髪及び頭皮の環境が改善される効果が向上する。また、使用者の頭皮が突起342によって刺激されながら空気イオンが作用することにより、頭皮の環境が改善される効果の向上がより期待される。 When the user operates the hair dryer, air containing air ions is released from the exhaust port 12 and stays inside the cover body 3 without being dissipated. The air containing air ions passes through the hole 341 and comes into contact with the user's head. For this reason, air ion concentrates and acts on the part covered with the rod-shaped body 34 of a user's head. Higher density air ions act on the hair and scalp than before, and the time during which air ions act on the hair and scalp is longer than before. In addition, since the air containing air ions strikes the head with the protrusions 342 separating the hair, the air ions efficiently contact the hair and scalp, and the air ions act on the hair and scalp with high efficiency. Therefore, also in this embodiment, the effect of improving the environment of the hair and scalp by air ions is improved. Further, the effect of improving the environment of the scalp is further expected by the action of air ions while the user's scalp is stimulated by the protrusions 342.

(実施形態3)
 実施形態3に係るヘアドライヤの構成は実施形態1又は2と同様である。本実施形態においては、制御部17は、ヒータ15を動作させて空気を加温する際に、空気の温度を比較的低温の所定の温度範囲に保つ第1のモードと、空気の温度をより高温まで加温する第2のモードとを切り替えることが可能である。第1のモードでは、制御部17は、図示しない温度センサを用いて、ハウジング1内の風路を通る空気の温度を測定し、空気の温度が所定の温度範囲内に保たれるように、温度の測定結果に応じてヒータ15の動作を制御する。第2のモードでは、制御部17は、第1のモードでの温度範囲よりも高温まで空気を加温するように、温度の測定結果に応じてヒータ15の動作を制御する。使用者は、操作部21を操作して、第1のモードと第2のモードとの相互の切り替えを指示することができる。制御部17は、操作部21の操作に応じて、第1のモードと第2のモードとを切り替え、第1又は第2のモードでヒータ15を動作させる。
(Embodiment 3)
The configuration of the hair dryer according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the first or second embodiment. In the present embodiment, when the controller 17 operates the heater 15 to heat the air, the control unit 17 sets the first mode for maintaining the temperature of the air in a relatively low temperature range and the temperature of the air. It is possible to switch between the second mode for heating to a high temperature. In the first mode, the control unit 17 measures the temperature of the air passing through the air passage in the housing 1 using a temperature sensor (not shown), and keeps the temperature of the air within a predetermined temperature range. The operation of the heater 15 is controlled according to the temperature measurement result. In the second mode, the control unit 17 controls the operation of the heater 15 in accordance with the temperature measurement result so as to heat the air to a temperature higher than the temperature range in the first mode. The user can operate the operation unit 21 to instruct mutual switching between the first mode and the second mode. The control unit 17 switches between the first mode and the second mode according to the operation of the operation unit 21, and operates the heater 15 in the first or second mode.

 本実施形態においても、ヘアドライヤは、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された場合に押下される押下スイッチ13を備えている。押下スイッチ13は、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された場合に押下された状態になっており、カバー体3が装着されていない場合は押下されていない状態になる。押下スイッチ13は、制御部17に接続されている。本実施形態においては、制御部17は、押下スイッチ13が押下されている場合に、第2のモードでヒータ15を動作させることを禁止する。また、制御部17は、押下スイッチ13が押下されていない場合に、第2のモードでヒータ15を動作させることを可能にする。この様に、制御部17及びヒータ15は、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された状態では、第2のモードでは動作せず、第1のモードで空気を加温するようになっている。 Also in this embodiment, the hair dryer includes a push switch 13 that is pressed when the cover body 3 is attached to the housing 1. The push switch 13 is pressed when the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1, and is not pressed when the cover body 3 is not mounted. The push switch 13 is connected to the control unit 17. In the present embodiment, the control unit 17 prohibits the heater 15 from operating in the second mode when the push switch 13 is pressed. Further, the control unit 17 enables the heater 15 to operate in the second mode when the push switch 13 is not pressed. As described above, the controller 17 and the heater 15 do not operate in the second mode when the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1, and heat the air in the first mode.

 本実施形態においても、ヘアドライヤは実施形態1及び2と同様に使用される。排気口12から放出された空気に含まれる空気イオンは、散逸せずに、使用者の頭部の一部を覆うカバー体3の内部に滞留し、使用者の頭部のカバー体3で覆われた部分に集中して作用する。従って、実施形態1及び2と同様に、空気イオンによって頭髪及び頭皮の環境が改善される効果が向上する。また、本実施形態では、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着された状態では、制御部17及びヒータ15は、第2のモードでは動作せず、第1のモードで空気を加温する。温度が比較的低温の所定の温度範囲内に保たれた空気が使用者の頭部に当たることになり、使用者が火傷を負う可能性は低い。 Also in this embodiment, the hair dryer is used in the same manner as in the first and second embodiments. Air ions contained in the air discharged from the exhaust port 12 do not dissipate and stay inside the cover 3 that covers a part of the user's head, and are covered with the cover 3 on the user's head. Concentrate on the broken parts. Therefore, as in the first and second embodiments, the effect of improving the hair and scalp environment by air ions is improved. In the present embodiment, in a state where the cover body 3 is mounted on the housing 1, the control unit 17 and the heater 15 do not operate in the second mode and heat the air in the first mode. The air kept in a predetermined temperature range where the temperature is relatively low hits the user's head, and the user is unlikely to get burned.

 また、本実施形態においても、制御部17は、温度センサを用いて、空気の温度が所定の温度以上にならないようにヒータ15の動作を制御する。従って、ヘアドライヤは、押下スイッチ13が正常に動作しなかった場合でも、火傷の発生を抑制する。 Also in the present embodiment, the control unit 17 uses the temperature sensor to control the operation of the heater 15 so that the temperature of the air does not exceed a predetermined temperature. Therefore, the hair dryer suppresses the occurrence of burns even when the push switch 13 does not operate normally.

 なお、以上の実施形態1~3においては、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着されている場合に制御部17がヒータ15の動作を制限する形態を示したが、ヘアドライヤは、ヒータ15を動作させるための回路を押下スイッチ13が押下された場合に機械的にオフにする機構を備えていてもよい。また、実施形態1~3においては、押下スイッチ13を用いてカバー体3がハウジング1に装着されていることを検出する形態を示したが、ヘアドライヤは、その他の方法でカバー体3がハウジング1に装着されていることを検出する形態であってもよい。例えば、ヘアドライヤは、接触スイッチ等、押下スイッチ以外のスイッチを用いてカバー体3がハウジング1に装着されていることを検出する。また例えば、カバー体3は、ハウジング1に装着された場合に制御部17に接続する回路を有しており、制御部17は、回路が接続したことを検出することによって、カバー体3がハウジング1に装着されたことを検出する。カバー体3がハウジング1に装着されたことを検出した場合に、制御部17は、空気の加温を禁止するか、又は第2のモードでの動作を禁止する。 In the first to third embodiments, the control unit 17 restricts the operation of the heater 15 when the cover body 3 is attached to the housing 1. However, the hair dryer operates the heater 15. There may be a mechanism for mechanically turning off the circuit for turning off when the push switch 13 is pressed. In the first to third embodiments, the push switch 13 is used to detect that the cover body 3 is attached to the housing 1. However, the hair dryer is not limited to the housing 1 by other methods. The form which detects having been mounted | worn to may be sufficient. For example, the hair dryer detects that the cover body 3 is attached to the housing 1 using a switch other than the push switch such as a contact switch. Further, for example, the cover body 3 has a circuit that is connected to the control unit 17 when the cover body 3 is attached to the housing 1, and the control unit 17 detects that the circuit is connected, so that the cover body 3 can be 1 is detected. When it is detected that the cover body 3 is attached to the housing 1, the control unit 17 prohibits the heating of the air or the operation in the second mode.

 また、実施形態1~3においては、帯電粒子発生部がイオン発生ユニット16である形態を示したが、ヘアドライヤは、空気イオン以外の帯電粒子を空気中に発生させる帯電粒子発生部を備えた形態であってもよい。例えば、ヘアドライヤは、帯電水を生成して空気中に放出する帯電粒子発生部を備えていてもよい。帯電粒子発生部が空気イオン以外の帯電粒子を発生させる形態においても、帯電粒子の作用によって頭髪及び頭皮の環境が改善される効果が得られる。また、ヘアドライヤは、ヒータ15を備えていない形態であってもよい。 In the first to third embodiments, the charged particle generating unit is the ion generating unit 16, but the hair dryer has a charged particle generating unit that generates charged particles other than air ions in the air. It may be. For example, the hair dryer may include a charged particle generator that generates charged water and releases it into the air. Even when the charged particle generating unit generates charged particles other than air ions, the effect of improving the hair and scalp environment by the action of the charged particles can be obtained. The hair dryer may not be provided with the heater 15.
