(Prior art) The outer blade of an electric razor uses a stainless steel material containing carbon at a quenching level and has a thickness of several tens of micrometers.
Although it is extremely thin, it is generally considered that the life of the outer blade is extremely long depending on the user's sensuality.

That is, for example, breakage of the mustache introduction hole is a level that can be found only when it is felt painful, and a decrease in sharpness due to abrasion of the edge is almost impossible to visually confirm, and it depends on the sensation of warping. I had no choice.

For this reason, the outer blade of the electric razor has been used as it is without any problem such as tearing in appearance, even though the outer blade is worn out and has a long life due to its sharpness.

By the way, a technology for detecting the pressing pressure of the electric razor against the skin is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-176682 by the applicant of the present application, but this technology turns on / off the switch by detecting the pressing pressure. It did so and did not essentially detect the life.

Further, in the above-mentioned prior art, the detection of the pressing pressure is performed by the piezoelectric element mounted on the inner blade support. In this case, the actual pressing pressure is controlled via the inner blade, the inner blade support and the cushion-like element. Because it is detected, subtle changes cannot be detected,
Further, there is a problem that the detected value changes depending on the direction in which the skin hits.

Therefore, according to this conventional technique, even if it is possible to detect the pressing pressure on the skin, it is not possible to detect a delicate change, and since the detection value changes depending on the direction of hitting, it can be used for applications such as life detection. There was a problem that it could not be used for turning on and off the switch.

(Function) According to the present invention, according to the present invention, the force of pressing the outer blade against the skin increases as the sharpness of the electric razor decreases, so that the pressing pressure can be converted into an electric quantity like a piezoelectric element. By using a material for the outer blade, it is possible to judge the life of the outer blade, and to form a conductive wear-resistant film on the outer blade, and to evaluate the change in resistance due to the wear of this wear-resistant film. By detecting, it is possible to detect the life of the outer blade.Furthermore, since the cutting resistance of the beard increases as the sharpness decreases and heat is generated, a material that can convert temperature changes into electric quantity is used as the outer blade. In this case, the temperature at this time can be detected, and the life of the outer blade can be detected.

Then, at the sharpness stage at the beginning of use, the pressing pressure in the direction of the arrow () in FIG. 5A is low, and even if it is high, it is temporary. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, the electromotive force of the piezoelectric element PZT is at a level slightly higher than the initial state. However, as the sharpness decreases, the pressing pressure increases, and the pressing pressure constantly continues. In this state, a certain threshold level is set, and if the threshold level is constantly exceeded, it is determined that the life of the outer cutter is reached.

An example of this threshold level is 70% of the output voltage level of PZT when the outer blade itself breaks. It is also possible to have a switch function that turns on the switch automatically when an electromotive force that exceeds the electromotive force when attached to the support is used, and turns off the switch automatically when it returns to the original position. Yes, and above a certain set value, unconditionally switch
A safety function to turn off can be added.

The same base material as that described above is used for the base material of the outer cutter 2-2. Polyimide is used for the insulating layer. As a forming method, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether and pyromellitic dianhydride are dissolved in equimolar amounts in dimethylformamide, and the base material is immersed therein and pulled up at a constant speed. Thereafter, the temperature is gradually increased to 200 ° C. to volatilize dimethylformamide, and then heated to 300 ° C. for imidization.

The material of the insulating layer is not limited to polyimide, but may be any as long as an insulative film such as Teflon or parylene can be formed. It is not always necessary to use the film, and any material can be used as long as the surface of the base material can be insulated by a technique such as ion implantation.
