Description

A device for providing microcurrent and vibration, a vibrating element used therein, and a combination thereof

The present invention relates to a device for providing microcurrent and vibration, a vibrating element unit used therein, and a combination thereof, and more preferably a microcurrent and It relates to a vibration providing mechanism, a vibration element part used therefor, and a combination thereof.

In general, pack means 'wrap', and it wraps the active substance on the face to remove dirt from the pores and effectively supplies moisture and beauty ingredients to the skin to maintain smooth blood circulation and restore the physiological function of the skin. It is a kind of functional cosmetics. Because the pack can provide various nutrients to the skin very effectively, various effects such as moisturizing, soothing, aging, dead skin cells and waste removal, recovery of tired skin, elasticity enhancement and whitening can be expected by these cosmetic ingredients.

Natural ingredients such as herbal extracts, cucumber, tangerine, aloe, carrot, mugwort, seaweed, ginseng, red ginseng, potato, cactus, plum, etc. We are using pack formulations such as massage cream, nutrition pack, cleansing pack, and whitening pack.

The massager or vibration stimulator is classified into a full body massage device that massages the whole body and a local massage device that massages a part of the body according to the part of the massage. The local massage device is manufactured to be suitable for various and local body parts. For example, the local massage device for a body part having a shape that can be worn with a belt, such as the waist, neck, limbs, etc., is mainly manufactured in a belt type. do.

On the other hand, in the case of the face, a local massage should be used, and unlike the massager described above, it is necessary to stimulate sensitive skin tissue, so it should be operated as light and soft as possible due to the nature of the massage. In particular, in the case of the face, not only a belt cannot be worn, but also various massage areas such as the temple, chin, nose and cheekbones are scattered, so it is not suitable for the use of a belt or rod type massage device. As a result, side effects of the facial skeleton and skin side effects occur.

In order to solve this problem, roughly two types of facial massage devices have been proposed. One of these methods is a technology (Patent Document 1) in which a mask shape is manufactured from an injection material of a hard material resembling the shape of a face, a vibration motor is installed inside the mask shape, and the vibration of the vibration motor is transmitted to the face through a pressing protrusion (Patent Document 1). However, in this method, masks of various sizes and shapes have to be prepared because facial contour shapes differ from person to person, and even with masks of various sizes and shapes, it is very difficult to form a pressing protrusion to match a specific user's face, making it inconvenient to use there was ham In addition, a vibrating element must be installed at a plurality of positions of a mask made of an injection material made of a hard material resembling the shape of a face and electrically connected thereto.

Another method is to form a two-dimensional flat mask as disclosed in Patent Document 2 below, fix it to the face contour using a fastener such as Velcro, and apply vibration. This method has an advantage in that it is easier to arrange a circuit element including a vibrating element than the first method, but it has a problem in that it is difficult to manufacture to adhere to various face sizes and shapes. In particular, in order to be worn appropriately for various face sizes and shapes, a two-dimensional mask shape must be formed of a resilient material and configured to be stretched when worn, but there is a problem in that circuit elements are disconnected when worn.

The inventor of the present invention has been developing a vibration providing device including a mask that provides a vibration function to the skin since early 2018. The vibration providing device is provided with a plurality of vibration elements, and while stably connecting wires for supplying power to each vibration element and configured to be closely coupled to the skin, it has been difficult to manufacture suitable for mass production. In order to solve this manufacturing problem, the inventor of the present application has applied for a patent as presented in Patent Document 3 and has been registered. The technology presented in Patent Document 3 relates to a manufacturing technology for facilitating production by forming a coupling groove in a power line for supplying power to a vibrating device and inserting conductive silicon into the coupling groove. However, as a result of the inventor of the present application trying to produce according to Patent Document 3, it was found that it is a difficult technique to apply due to an increase in production cost because manual labor is required to install the vibrating element.

Another object of the present invention is to match the micro-current and vibration providing mechanism described so far, the first protrusion matching that is detachably attached to the first fitting part by an interference fitting method, the control element is mounted, and the first connection electrode is contact-coupled to the lower part. A third printed circuit board having an electrode and a control element and a control element unit having a first coupling case formed to include the third printed circuit board therein and coupled to the first fitting part in an interference fitting manner, and the above-described vibrating element It can be achieved by a microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism combination, characterized in that it includes a part.

In the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism assembly, it is preferable that the first protrusion matching electrode and the second protrusion matching electrode be formed of an elastic electrode having elasticity, and a control signal for on/off control of each vibration element is provided on the third printed circuit board. It is preferable that a control unit for generating is provided, and the second printed circuit board is provided with a micro-current generating unit for generating an operation signal for generating a micro-current.

According to the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention, since it has a two-dimensional planar shape, the second printed circuit board, the printed circuit board for the vibration element, and the elastic contact electrode are mounted on the first printed circuit board, and the mounting first printing By manufacturing the circuit board and manufacturing the housing part by applying the insert injection method to the manufactured first printed circuit board, most manufacturing processes can be automated using mechanical devices, so the wiring between the vibration element and the control unit was manually manufactured. Compared to a conventional vibration providing device (eg, a mask), it is possible to reduce manufacturing time and labor cost, so that it is possible to provide a price competitive microcurrent and vibration providing device.

In addition, since the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention is formed in a single size (three sizes or less if necessary) of a two-dimensional plane, it is necessary to expand and contract according to the size of the face when worn by the user. During this expansion and contraction process, there is a fear that the first printed circuit board to be mounted by insert injection molding inside the upper housing part and the lower housing part may be damaged or a short circuit may occur in the connection of circuit elements. In the present invention, in order to solve this problem, the first printed circuit board is formed to be disconnected without connecting the mounted first printed circuit board in at least one interregion selected from among the interregion connecting the forehead, nose, and lip, respectively, and in the disconnected interspace It was configured such that only the housing part formed of an elastic material was connected. Therefore, even when a person with a large face wears a two-dimensional planar mask, it is possible to solve the problem of short circuit of the internal circuit element or the damage of the mounted first printed circuit board. Since the lower housing part has a three-dimensional shape that protrudes downward, the two-dimensional planar mask is kept in close contact when worn on the face, so that vibration and microcurrent can be transmitted more effectively.

The microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention is provided to insert injection into the upper housing part and the lower housing part where most of the circuit elements are fused and integrated, and the control element part is also kept airtight while maintaining the airtightness of the upper housing part first fitting part. Since the mask according to the present invention is designed to be fitted, there is an advantage in that it is easy to maintain and manage because moisture does not penetrate even if the mask according to the present invention is used over a mask pack containing nutrients or washed with water after use.

The microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention uses a circuit board providing a vibration function and a circuit board providing a microcurrent function as separate third printed circuit boards and second printed circuit boards, so if necessary, various embodiments It has the effect of being able to faithfully respond to the various needs of consumers. Of course, it goes without saying that the circuit board providing the vibration function and the circuit board providing the micro-current function can be integrated into one substrate.

Since the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention can individually control on/off of the vibration element, there is an advantage in that the vibration effect can be locally adjusted for the massage function. In addition, in the present invention, since it can be independently controlled, even if a break occurs in the circuit board connected to some of the vibrating elements, the remaining vibrating elements can be individually controlled, thereby increasing the stability against disconnection.

In the prior art, when one of the plurality of vibrating elements malfunctions or a defect occurs in wiring connecting the vibrating elements during the manufacturing process, there is a problem in that the entire microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism has no choice but to treat it as defective. In contrast, in the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention, the control element part and the vibration element part are manufactured through a separate manufacturing process from the housing part for insert injection molding the mounted first printed circuit board. Due to these differences in product structure and manufacturing process, in the present invention, when it is determined that one of several vibrating element parts is defective, only the defective vibrating element part is replaced with a good product, so that the remaining components can be used. .

After putting the flexible board on which the connector and the vibrating element are mounted, a housing part was formed through silicon injection, and a structure having a conductive silicon electrode for supplying microcurrent to the user's skin was proposed at the lower part of the housing part. However, since it is necessary to additionally provide conductive silicon for supplying a fine current, a manufacturing process and material are added to increase the production cost. Another problem of the applied technology is that the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism is provided with a plurality of vibration elements, and even if one of the vibration elements is determined to be defective, the manufactured microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism must be treated as a whole as defective, so the manufacturing cost is reduced.

The microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism 100 according to the present invention includes a control element unit 10 , an upper housing unit 20 , a lower housing unit 70 , and between the upper housing unit 20 and the lower housing unit 70 . It is formed of a mounting first printed circuit board that is embedded and mounted. The term mounted first printed circuit board 50 refers to a state in which the second printed circuit board 40, the printed circuit board 53 for vibration collection, and the elastic contact electrode are mounted on the first printed circuit board 51 by soldering. As a meaning of the first printed circuit board, in order to distinguish it from the first printed circuit board 51 in a state before the second printed circuit board 40, the printed circuit board 53 for collecting vibration and the elastic contact electrode are mounted. was used. 1 and 2, the upper housing part 20 and the lower housing part 70 are shown separately for convenience of explanation, but they are substantially formed of an elastic material including one integrated silicone member. That is, the upper housing part 20 and the lower housing part 70 are integrally molded through insert injection by injecting an elastic material such as liquid silicone after placing the mounted first printed circuit board 50 inside the mold. will be. Strictly speaking, the upper housing part 20 refers to a portion formed on the basis of the mounting first printed circuit board 50 embedded therein, and the lower housing part 20 is a mounted first printed circuit embedded therein. Refers to a portion formed on the substrate 50 as a reference. The upper housing part and the lower housing part are referred to separately for convenience of description, and will be collectively referred to as a housing part.

A portion of the elastic contact electrode is exposed through the lower surface of the molded housing part, and the second printed circuit board 40 and the printed circuit board 53 for the vibration element are at least including a first connection electrode and a second connection electrode, respectively. It is molded so that a part of the upper surface is exposed without being buried in the upper housing. In another manufacturing method, the lower housing part and the upper housing part are separately formed, and the first printed circuit board mounted therebetween is interposed and then manufactured through thermal fusion. Even in this case, a portion of the elastic contact electrode should be exposed through the lower housing, and at least a portion of the upper surface of the second printed circuit board 40 and the printed circuit board 53 for the vibration element including the first connecting electrode and the second connecting electrode, respectively. is formed to be exposed without being covered by the upper housing.

The housing portion is provided with an ear wheel engaging portion (E1, E2) coupled to the wearer's ear wheel. Of course, other than the shape for opening the eyes, nose, and mouth of the housing part, other shapes may be formed in various ways. For example, it is of course also possible to remove both the auricle locking parts (E1, E2) and form a Velcro that binds both sides to each other at the back of the head.

One first fitting part for attaching and detaching the control element part 10 and a plurality of second fitting parts for attaching and detaching the plurality of vibration element parts are provided in the housing part formed along the periphery while opening the eyes, nose and mouth. In the micro-current and vibration providing mechanism assembly of FIG. 1, one first fitting part and eight second fitting parts capable of attaching and detaching one control element part 10 and eighteen vibration element parts 60 in an interference fit method. and each vibrating element was designed to be driven independently. 1 shows a state in which the control element part 10 is inserted into the first fitting part, and the vibrating element part 60 is inserted in only one second fitting part among the eight second fitting parts.

It is a device that selects and transmits a control signal to each vibrating device. In addition, when it is determined that the control data transmitted from the external device 200 is control data related to a microcurrent rather than control data for controlling the vibration device, the control element unit 10 uses the communication protocol as a microcurrent generator to It also performs a transmission function. Similarly, the control element unit 10 determines that the operation signal of the operation mode switch 11 relates to the generation of a micro-current, and also performs a function of transmitting the operation signal to the micro-current generator using a communication protocol.

The control element unit 10 is provided with a circuit element mounted on a third printed circuit board inside the first combination case 17 , and an operation mode switch 11 and a USB terminal 13 on the outer surface of the first combination case 17 . ) is provided, and a portion of the lower surface of the third printed circuit board 19 is exposed at the lower portion of the first coupling case 17 . A first protruding matching electrode 15 is formed on the exposed lower surface of the third printed circuit board 19 .

7 is an embodiment of a circuit configuration of a control element unit according to the present invention. The control element unit 10 includes a control unit 110 including an antenna 117 and a wireless communication module 115 , a USB terminal unit 13 , a power control module 120 , an operation mode switch 11 , and a microcurrent generator. 140 , a first protruding matching electrode 15 , and a battery 130 . The antenna 117, the wireless communication module 115, the micro-current generator 140, and the battery 130 are not necessarily provided in the third printed circuit board and are optional. In particular, the inventors of the present invention have identified that it is more preferable to implement the circuit for generating a microcurrent on the second printed circuit board than on the third printed circuit board, and when implemented in this way, a configuration that provides a vibration function It was considered that the configuration for providing overcurrent and microcurrent can be configured by separating it by hardware, so that it can be implemented in various embodiments. Specifically, when the micro-current generator is mounted on the second printed circuit board, it is preferable to mount the micro-current generator 140 on the lower surface of the second printed circuit board. Although the term micro-current generator 140 is used in the present invention, the micro-current generator 140 may be implemented as one programmable control chip (CPU). When the power supply (battery, etc.) is supplied through the third printed circuit board, the second printed circuit board receives power from the third printed circuit board and then uses it to drive the microcurrent generator 140, After generating a micro-current pattern using control data received from the control unit (110 in FIG. 7) using a protocol, the first micro-current circuit pattern and the second micro-current circuit pattern formed on the first printed circuit board are used respectively. It is transmitted to the first elastic contact electrode and the second elastic contact electrode. A power supply device (such as a battery) may be provided on the second printed circuit board, and in this case, the power should be configured to be supplied from the second printed circuit board to the third circuit board.

The microcurrent refers to a small current supplied to the body while changing the polarity through two electrodes (the first elastic contact electrode and the second elastic contact electrode) that are spaced apart from each other and contact the body. Accordingly, various microcurrent patterns can be formed by using the size of the supplied microcurrent, the interval at which the microcurrent is applied, and the change in the size of the supplied microcurrent per time. The micro-current generator 140 is provided by pre-stored a plurality of micro-current patterns for generating micro-currents. When an operation signal or control data for selecting a plurality of microcurrent patterns is input from the operation mode switch or an external device, one of the stored plurality of microcurrent patterns is selected and supplied to the first and second elastic contact electrodes to be described later. do. Of course, when receiving control data from an external device by wire or wireless, the micro-current generator 140 controls the first and second elastic contact electrodes from an external device instead of selecting and using a pre-stored micro-current pattern. Of course, it is possible to provide a microcurrent to each of the first and second elastic contact electrodes after receiving control data and analyzing it.

The third printed circuit board 17 and the second printed circuit board are electrically connected using the first protruding matching electrode 15 and the first connection electrode, respectively, to transmit operating power and/or control data. The first connection electrode is formed in a pattern on the upper surface of the second printed circuit board, and the first protruding matching electrode 15 is formed by a plurality of leaf springs on the lower surface of the third printed circuit board to protrude while having elasticity. The first protruding matching electrode 15 and the first connection electrode are interconnected using a region '5' shown in FIG. 5(a).

The vibrating element may be implemented as a piezo, a voice coil motor (VCM), a vibration motor having an eccentric shaft, or the like. According to the experimental results of the inventors of the present invention, a vibration motor having an eccentric shaft was most suitable to be applied to a microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism when price and performance were compared.

The antenna 117 and the wireless communication module 115 are modules for transmitting and receiving data through wireless communication with an external device. For example, Bluetooth low energy (hereinafter, BLE) may be used for wireless communication, and the wireless communication module 115 implements modulation and demodulation for BLE communication in hardware or software. The power control module 120 converts the unstable power supplied from the USB terminal unit 13 into stable power, and optionally whether to use the power supplied from the USB terminal unit 13 for power when the battery 130 is provided. It is a module that manages whether to use the power supplied from the battery and controls the charging and discharging of the battery. As shown in FIG. 7 , the power control module 120 is shown as a separate configuration from the control unit 110 , but when the control unit 110 is implemented using a CPU chip with good performance, the wireless communication module 115 and the power supply Of course, since the control module 120 function can also be provided, it can be integrated into one hardware (chip). Control data may be transmitted from an external device through the wireless communication module 115 , and the received control data is stored in the control unit 110 and then controls each vibration element.

After receiving the control data through the wireless communication module 115 or the USB terminal, the control unit 110 determines whether the control data is for controlling the vibration element or control data for generating a microcurrent, and controls the vibration element In the case of control data for , a control signal for driving the vibrating device is generated and then transmitted to each vibrating device unit sequentially through the third printed circuit board, the second printed circuit board, and the first printed circuit board. When it is determined that the control data input through the wireless communication module 115 is for generating a microcurrent, the controller 110 transmits it to the microcurrent generator 140 mounted on the second printed circuit board using a communication protocol. perform the function

The controller 110 may be operated in such a way that various vibration patterns for driving a plurality of vibration elements are stored in advance, and an operation signal or control data for selecting one of the stored vibration patterns is received from an operation mode switch or an external device. As the vibration pattern, for example, 1) a first vibration pattern that applies vibration only to vibration elements disposed around the eyes, 2) a second vibration pattern that vibrates all vibration elements at the same time, and 3) vibrating elements sequentially one by one There may be a third vibration pattern, etc. When receiving control data from an external device via wired or wireless, the control unit 110 receives control data for controlling each vibration element from an external device instead of using a pre-stored vibration pattern, interprets it, and then controls each vibration element. Of course, it can be turned on/off.

8 is a front perspective view of a mounted first printed circuit board constituting the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a rear perspective view. A first connection electrode 45 is provided on the upper surface of the second printed circuit board 40 . The first connection electrode 45 is an electrode for connecting to the first protruding matching electrode provided under the third printed circuit board. The plurality of small holes formed in the first printed circuit board 51 and the second printed circuit board 40 represent the alignment holes 41 for aligning the mold frame. The first printed circuit board 51 and the second printed circuit board 40 were electrically coupled through soldering without using a connector. As described above, the inventor of the present application can be embedded in the housing when connected using a connector. It was found that there is a problem in that the housing part forming material permeates into the connector and causes a defect.

The mounted first printed circuit board 50 may be divided into two mounted first printed circuit boards for convenience of description. A second microcurrent for supplying a second power to the second elastic contact electrode 57 is provided on the lower surface of the mounted first printed circuit board indicated by reference symbol 50a in FIG. 8 . A circuit pattern is formed, and in order to distinguish it from the rest of the mounted first printed circuit board, the portion indicated by reference symbol 50a will be referred to as a microcurrent mounted first printed circuit board. In addition, for convenience of description, the remaining mounted first printed circuit boards except for the microcurrent mounted first printed circuit board 50a will be referred to as vibrationally mounted first printed circuit boards. For convenience of explanation, if there is no need to distinguish between the two, it will be referred to as a mounted first printed circuit board.

A plurality of printed circuit boards 53a, 53b, ..., 53h for a vibrating element on the first printed circuit board 51, and a plurality of first elastic contact electrodes 55 are mounted on the lower surface of the first printed circuit board for vibration. A printed circuit board is formed. The first elastic contact electrode 55 must be provided on the lower surface of the first printed circuit board 51 , but the printed circuit boards 53a, 53b, ..., 53i for the vibration element are formed on the first printed circuit board 51 . It can be electrically connected by soldering on the top or bottom.

The vibration mounting first printed circuit board 51 is connected in series with each other to supply common ground power from the second printed circuit board 40 to each of the vibration element printed circuit boards 53a, 53b, ..., 53i. A first vibration circuit pattern to be used and a plurality of second vibration circuit patterns for supplying independent driving power to each vibration element are formed. In addition, the first microcurrent circuit pattern for supplying the first power in common to the plurality of first elastic contact electrodes 55 from the second printed circuit board 40 is provided on the vibration mounting first printed circuit board 51 . and a second microcurrent circuit pattern for supplying a second power having a polarity opposite to that of the first power to the second elastic contact electrode 57 is provided.

The mounting first printed circuit board 50a for microcurrent on which the second elastic contact electrode 57 is mounted is not formed around the eyes, nose, and mouth as shown in the figure, but is a mounting material for vibration like the part under the ears. 1 It can be seen that the printed circuit board is formed at a position spaced apart from the formed position. In order to supply microcurrents, microcurrents having opposite polarities must be repeatedly flowed while changing polarities, so a plurality of first elastic contact electrodes 55 and second elastic contact electrodes 57 are formed to be spaced apart from each other in terms of distance. . In particular, since the microcurrent and vibration providing device assembly according to the present invention is generally worn on a face coated with an essence cream or the like or on a mask pack made of a non-woven fabric containing essence, the eyes, nose and mouth areas It is electrically formed at the same potential by a mask containing water or moisture. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , the second elastic contact electrode 57 for supplying the microcurrent is a plurality of first elastic contact electrodes 55 using the first printed circuit board 50a mounted for the microcurrent. ), it can be seen that they were provided at a distance from each other around the eyes, nose and mouth where they are formed.

A vibration motor having an eccentric shaft is provided in the vibration element unit, and is installed on the upper surface of the fourth printed circuit board as will be described later. A second protruding matching electrode is installed on the lower surface of the fourth printed circuit board, and is electrically connected to a second connection electrode formed on the upper surface of the printed circuit board for a vibration element embedded in the housing. The second connection electrode and the second protruding matching electrode may be disposed to exchange positions with each other. That is, of course, the second connection electrode may be provided on the lower surface of the fourth printed circuit board, and the second protruding matching electrode may be provided on the upper surface of the printed circuit board for the vibration element. It goes without saying that this installation position exchange is also possible between the first protruding matching electrode and the first connection electrode. In particular, only one of the two structures will be described in the claims, but exchanging the installation positions of the protruding matching electrode and the connecting electrode corresponds to a simple design change that is easily possible for those skilled in the art, so it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention. It should be construed to include both. The first printed circuit board and the printed circuit board for the vibration element are connected using soldering. Power received through the + power terminals and - power terminals formed on the printed circuit boards 53a, 53b, ..., 53h for the vibration element is supplied to the vibration element unit. The microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention operates using a battery provided in the control element unit or power supplied through a USB terminal. For example, when driving through a battery provided in the control element unit, the power supplied from the battery is first connected to the first protruding matching electrode provided on the third printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board 40, respectively. After being supplied through the combination of the electrodes 45, the second printed circuit board 40 and the first printed circuit board 50 are supplied to the first printed circuit board 50 through the contact point, and finally for each vibration element It is transmitted to the vibration element unit through the printed circuit board (53a, 53b, ..., 53i). The printed circuit boards 53a, 53b, ..., 53i for the vibration element mounted on the second printed circuit board 40 are configured so that each vibration element is connected to each other using a -power terminal (ground terminal) as a common terminal. The + power terminal was implemented to be supplied independently. Accordingly, each vibrating element can be operated independently, and control related thereto is performed through a control unit mounted on the third printed circuit board.

When the micro-current generator is mounted on the second printed circuit board 40 instead of being mounted on the third printed circuit board, the functions responsible for controlling the vibration element and controlling the micro-current can be separated, which can be provided in various embodiments. There is an advantage.

For example, in order to manufacture a micro-current and vibration-providing mechanism that provides only a vibration function in order to expand consumer choice, the function related to the generation of micro-current is removed and the second printed circuit is only responsible for transmitting the driving voltage to the vibration element. By modifying the substrate, embodiments with lower manufacturing costs can be easily implemented. Alternatively, in order to provide only the micro-current supply function, only the elastic contact electrode is mounted without mounting the printed circuit board for the vibration element on the first printed circuit board, and the micro-current generator is mounted on the second printed circuit board. can be implemented.

As shown in FIG. 8 , it can be seen that the first printed circuit board is configured such that the first interspace and the second interspace are not connected. In contrast, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 11 , it can be seen that the housing part is configured such that the first interspace region and the second interspace region are also connected to each other. This is because when a mask is manufactured using the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention, it is manufactured in a flat shape and is manufactured to have a single size (or at most three sizes). When a mask is manufactured using the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention, it must be stretched to match the size of the face when worn by the user. However, since the first printed circuit board is embedded therein, it must be designed so that a short circuit does not occur in the printed circuit board. In addition, it is advantageous in terms of manufacturing that the first printed circuit board applied in the present invention is composed of as few components as possible.

In order to apply the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention to a mask having various face sizes, it needs to be stretched so that it can be worn on various face sizes even if it is manufactured in a single size. Therefore, in consideration of these ergonomic characteristics, the first printed circuit board 50 provided in the insert manner was implemented so that at least one of the chin, nose, and forehead parts are not connected to each other. As shown in the drawings presented in the present invention, in the forehead part, the first mounting printed circuit board is formed to be connected to the left and right of the second printed circuit board 40, respectively, and the first interspace (chin part) and the second interspace area (nose part) are each other Implemented not to be connected. Therefore, the housing part can be stretched and contracted through the first and second interspaces where the first printed circuit board is not formed, so that it can be worn on various face shapes.

10 is a rear view of the second printed circuit board constituting the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10 , the microcurrent generator 140 was provided on the rear surface of the second printed circuit board. As described above, the microcurrent generating unit 140 receives a control signal for generating a microcurrent through protocol communication with a control unit provided in the third printed circuit board. The microcurrent generator 140 stores these various microcurrent patterns, and after receiving the control data through protocol communication through the first protruding matching electrode and the connection electrode through the control unit provided on the third printed circuit board, it A current according to the analyzed pattern is provided to the first elastic contact electrode and the second elastic contact electrode through the microcurrent circuit pattern. The hole 41 shown in FIG. 10 represents an alignment hole used during insert injection molding.

11 and 14 are rear perspective views of a housing constituting the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism of the present invention, FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view in the d-d' direction of FIG. 11, and FIG. 13 is a view viewed from the thickness direction. 11 to 14, the lower surface of the housing means a surface in contact with the skin. The lower surface of the lower housing part 70 has a three-dimensional shape in which a partial area protrudes downward so as to be in close contact with the face. In particular, it can be seen that, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 , a lower three-dimensional portion 77 protruding in a downward direction (downward) is formed in the region between the nose and the eyes. This lower three-dimensional part 77 allows the mask to be in close contact with the face surface when the user wears the mask according to the present invention, similar to the nose ring attached to the frame. As described above, the lower housing part 70 is made of the same material as the upper housing part, and although it is indicated separately for convenience of description, it may be integrally formed of a material having elasticity such as a single non-conductive silicon.

15 is a cross-sectional view taken in the direction A-A' shown in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 15 , the control element part is inserted using the first fitting part 21 formed in the upper housing part 20 . In the control element unit, the third printed circuit board 19 is fixedly installed inside the first coupling case 17 , and circuit elements including the control unit 110 and the battery 130 are formed thereon, and a first protrusion is formed on the lower surface of the control element unit. The matching electrode 15 is installed to protrude. A second printed circuit board 40 is disposed under the third printed circuit board 19 , a first connection electrode 45 is patterned on the upper surface of the second printed circuit board 40 , and a microcurrent is generated on the lower surface of the second printed circuit board 40 . A micro-current circuit pattern including the part 140 is formed, the lower housing part 70 is disposed under the second printed circuit board 40, and the upper housing part 20 and the lower housing part 70 are fused to each other. formed in a unified form. Although it has been described in FIG. 15 that a battery is provided in the control element unit 10, a form in which the battery is not provided may be implemented in an embodiment with a lower price. In the case of a micro-current and vibration providing device that does not have a built-in battery, power must be supplied from the outside. can be implemented In addition, in the case of an expensive embodiment, a wireless communication module is provided therein, and control data for vibration and microcurrent for controlling the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention can be implemented to be supplied from an external device through wireless communication. was explained as An external device suitable for this may be a portable communication device, for example, a smart phone. However, it may be difficult for some users, such as the elderly, to transmit control data to an app provided in the smartphone because the operation of the smartphone is difficult. Needless to say, this problem can be realized by separately providing a control data generating device (not shown) connected to the USB terminal provided in the control device unit 10 and controlling it through this. The control data generation dedicated device is connected to the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention, and is a dedicated terminal for supplying operating power and transmitting data for controlling vibration and/or microcurrent. At least one operation button and a display are provided. It can be implemented with a provided terminal. An external device in the present invention means an electric device that is formed separately from the micro-current and vibration providing device, and should be understood as a generic term for the above-described battery pack, control data-only device, and portable communication device.

So far, it has been described that circuit elements for realizing the vibration function are mainly mounted on the third printed circuit board and the first printed circuit board, and circuit elements for supplying microcurrent are mainly mounted on the second printed circuit board. The reason for applying a plurality of printed circuit boards in this way is to easily modify and design various embodiments. Similarly, the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board can be modified to mount a circuit element for realizing a vibration function, and the third printed circuit board can be modified to mount a circuit element for realizing a microcurrent supply. Of course. In addition, if necessary, three printed circuit boards may be integrated into one design or implemented as two, but there may be disadvantages in that it is not easy to transform into various embodiments.

Although it has been described that the upper and lower housings can be made of elastic silicone material, there is no rejection reaction upon skin contact, there is no problem in mounting the printed circuit board inside, and it can be applied as long as it has elasticity. For example, the upper housing part and the lower housing part may be implemented with an elastomer, a Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), and a Thermo Plastic Elastomer (TPE) in addition to a silicone material.

16 is an embodiment of an elastic contact electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 16 (a) shows a perspective view, (b) is a cross-sectional view. The elastic contact electrode is an electrode having elasticity that can be mounted on a printed circuit board by SMT (Surface Mount Technology). electrode shape. As the elastic contact electrode, a circuit element called a SMD (Surface Mount Device) gasket may be used.

In the present invention, the second printed circuit board mounted on the first printed circuit board, the printed circuit board for the vibration element, and the elastic contact electrode are all mounted by SMT (soldering method). Therefore, when mounting the second printed circuit board, the printed circuit board for the vibration element, and the elastic contact electrode on the first printed circuit board, there is no need for a separate manual operation, so mass production is possible and the manufacturing cost can be lowered.

17 is a transparent perspective view of a vibrating element unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The vibrating element unit 60 includes a second coupling case 64 , a vibrating element 62 , a fourth printed circuit board 68 , and a second protruding matching electrode 66 . The vibration element unit 60 is provided with a fourth printed circuit board 53 fixedly installed inside the second coupling case 64, and the vibration element 62 is installed on the upper surface of the fourth printed circuit board 53, It has a structure in which the second protruding matching electrode 66 is formed on the lower surface. The second protruding matching electrode 66 is formed of a leaf spring, has an electrode structure protruding from the lower surface of the second coupling case 64, and is elastically coupled to the second connection electrode patterned on the upper surface of the printed circuit board for the vibration element. . The second protrusion matching electrode 66 includes a second protrusion matching first electrode 66-1 protruding from the center and two second protrusion matching second electrodes 66-1 protruding to be spaced apart by the same radius on both sides based on this. 66-2). In order to vibrate the vibrating element 62, voltages of two different polarities must be applied, one polarity of which is configured to be applied through the second protruding matching first electrode 66-1, and the other polarity is configured to be applied through at least one of the two second protruding matching second electrodes 66 - 2 . That is, the vibrating element 62 receives a voltage of one polarity from the second protrusion matching first electrode 66-1 formed in the center, and is formed on both sides of the second protrusion matching first electrode 66-1. It was formed in a structure in which a voltage of the other polarity is applied from at least one of the two second protruding matching second electrodes 66 - 2 .

18 is a plan view showing the shape of the second connection electrode pattern formed on the upper surface of the printed circuit board for the vibration element as an embodiment according to the present invention. In FIG. 18 , a blue area indicates a conductive area, and the remaining black and gray areas indicate an insulating area. The second connection electrode 63 is a pattern-formed electrode on the upper surface of the printed circuit board for a vibration element, and is an electrode for connecting to the second protruding matching electrode 66 formed on the lower surface of the fourth printed circuit board. The second connection electrode 63 is formed of a second connection first electrode 63-1 and a second connection second electrode 63-2 formed in concentric circles, and the second protruding matching first electrode 66-, respectively. 1) and the second protrusion matching second electrode 66-2 to form a conductive state. The second connecting first electrode 63-1 and the second connecting second electrode 63-2 were formed such that the second soldering electrode 67 and the first soldering electrode 65 were electrically connected to each other, respectively. The first soldering electrode 65 and the second soldering electrode 67 are electrodes for connecting the first printed circuit board and the soldering connection.

The reason for forming the second protruding matching electrode 66 and the second connection electrode 63 in the same shape as in FIGS. 17 and 18 will be described. The microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention should be used after inserting the control element part 10 and the vibration element part 60 into the first fitting part 21 and the second fitting part 22, respectively, before use. do. The control element unit 10 has an elliptical shape as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 6, and is formed at a position off the center when the first protruding matching electrode is three or more electrodes, so that the user can relatively easily use the first It is possible to press-fit the fitting portion 21 at the correct position. In contrast, since the vibrating element unit 60 has a circular lower surface, and the matching electrode requires only two electrodes (+ electrode and - electrode), the vibrating element unit 60 is positioned between the center of the lower surface. When two electrodes (+ electrode and - electrode) are installed on both sides to be spaced apart from each other, electrodes should be patterned on the upper surface of the printed circuit board 53 for a vibration element at a position corresponding thereto, and this causes the user to insert the second It is not easy to insert the vibrating element in the correct position of the negative. In order to solve this problem, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 17 , the second protruding matching first electrode 66-1 is formed in the center of the lower surface of the fourth printed circuit board 68, and is located at a location away from the center by a certain radius. Two second protrusion matching second electrodes 66-2 are formed, and second connection electrodes 63 having a shape as shown in FIG. 18 are formed on the upper surface of the corresponding printed circuit board 53 for vibration elements. By doing so, the second protruding matching electrode and the second connecting electrode can be connected to each other only when the user inserts the vibrating element into the second fitting portion.

19 is a cross-sectional view taken in the direction E-E' shown in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 19 , the vibration element part is inserted using the second fitting part 22 formed in the upper housing part 20 . The vibrating element unit has a fourth printed circuit board 68 fixedly installed inside the second coupling case 64, a vibrating element 62 is provided on its upper surface, and a second protruding matching electrode 66 has elasticity on its lower surface. It is installed to protrude in the shape of a leaf spring. The printed circuit board 53 for the vibration element is installed so that only a part of the upper surface including the second contact electrode 63 is exposed and the remaining part is embedded in the housing parts 20 and 70 . On the upper surface of the printed circuit board 53 for a vibration element, as shown in FIG. 18 , a second connection first electrode 63-1 is formed in the center from a central point to a predetermined first radius, and from the second radius to the third A second connection second electrode 63 - 2 is patterned in the area between the radii.

As a specific embodiment of the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention, a microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism having a mask shape applied to the face has been described. However, the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention can be modified into a shape applicable to the wrist circumference, the knee circumference, or the waist circumference, and in the claims of the present invention, up to the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism modified in these various forms should be construed as included.

20 is a front and rear perspective view of a microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is modified to be worn in the form of a belt around the wrist, ankle or waist. As described above, between the upper housing part 20 and the lower housing part 70, the mounting first printed circuit board on which the second printed circuit board, the printed circuit board for collecting vibration and the elastic contact electrode are mounted is embedded. In this case, the first connection electrode and the second connection electrode formed on the upper surface of the second printed circuit board and the printed circuit board for collecting vibration are not embedded in the housing unit 20 but are exposed. A first fitting part 21 and a second fitting part 22 are provided on the upper surfaces of the housing parts 20 and 70, and when in use, a control element part is provided in the first fitting part 21 and the second fitting part 22, respectively. (10) and the vibrating element part 60 are used by inserting them in an interference fit method. As shown in FIG. 20(b) , the lower surface of the housing part 20 is buried so that the lower surfaces of the first and second elastic contact electrodes 55 and 57 are exposed. A connecting string 25a and a connecting string inserting portion 27a are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the housing parts 20 and 70 to be fastened to the wrist, ankle or waist circumference, respectively. It goes without saying that the connecting string and the connecting string inserting unit are not limited to the example shown in FIG.

Various types of printed circuit boards are used in the microcurrent and vibration providing mechanism according to the present invention. The first printed circuit board is formed of a flexible board, and the remaining boards are formed of a material having a higher hardness than the first printed circuit board (hard material, for example, FR4 in which glass fiber is woven using epoxy resin). A flexible substrate in the sense of the present invention is easily bent to an angle less than 60° when bent by holding both ends of the substrate by hand, and when the pressing force is removed, the circuit pattern formed on the substrate is not damaged. It refers to a substrate with flexible characteristics that can be easily restored to the angle before bending. The second printed circuit board and the printed circuit board for the vibration element mounted on the first printed circuit board are formed of a material harder than the first printed circuit board, and the third printed circuit board and the printed circuit board for the vibration element are opposed to the second printed circuit board and the printed circuit board for the vibration element. The printed circuit board and the fourth printed circuit board are also formed of a harder material than the first printed circuit board. The reason for forming such a material is that the connection electrode and the protruding matching electrode are formed on the opposite surfaces of the opposite substrates (the second printed circuit board and the third printed circuit board, and the vibration element printed circuit board and the fourth printed circuit board). It is formed as a rigid printed circuit board because the two must be electrically coupled while being in close contact. In addition, the first fitting portion 21 and the second fitting portion 22 are fitted with a control element portion and a vibration element portion each having a hard coupling case in an interference fitting manner, so the fitting portion (housing portion) material, the first printed circuit board The hardness of the material and the rest of the printed circuit board material is formed to have the same relationship as Equations 1 and 2.

Since the first coupling case and the second coupling case must be installed and installed in an interference fitting manner in the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion, respectively, at least a portion of the side surface of the coupling case is designed to be convex outwardly. To correspond to this, the first insertion space and the second insertion space formed by the first fitting part and the second fitting part were also configured to have a convex shape from the center to the outside.
