Ultrasonic hair treatment device

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of ultrasonic hair treatment device (ultrasonic hair treatment device), especially relate to a kind of effect by ultrasonic vibration and agent for treatment of hair (hair treatmentcomposition) is infiltrated ultrasonic hair treatment device in user's the hair.

Background technology

This area discloses several for infiltrating the ultrasonic hair treatment device of agent for treatment of hair design, for example Japanese kokai publication hei 9-262120 communique and Japanese 2001-37526 communique.Device in the 9-262120 communique has tubular article (barrel), this tubular article is configured to twine hair, and is connected to the ultrasonic vibration element, to transmit ultrasonic vibration to hair, therefore can stimulate agent for treatment of hair and hair, thereby quicken the infiltration of inorganic agent.This ultrasonic vibration element is the PZT (piezoelectric transducer) (piezoelectric thickness drive transducer) along the thickness direction driving of plate-like, and it is connected to an end of tubular article, so that vertical central authorities of tubular article are subjected to maximum vibration.Thus, the hair that is wrapped in the longitudinal end of tubular article only can be subjected to less ultrasonic wave effect or can not be subjected to the ultrasonic wave effect.By using the PZT (piezoelectric transducer) that has a resonance point in dish central authorities, can't avoid producing uneven vibration along the length of tubular article.

The clamping components clamping hair that uses the rectangle oscillating plate and match has been proposed in Japan's 2001-37526 communique, with by the ultrasonic vibration effect in conjunction with agent for treatment of hair with hair straightening.This oscillating plate is mechanically connected to piezoelectric element to vibrate along the thickness direction.And in this device, when use have single resonance point along PZT (piezoelectric transducer) that thickness direction drives the time, the whole rectangular surfaces of oscillating plate is subjected to uneven vibration.That is, the rectangle oscillating plate can not evenly be passed to all topknots (hair strands) that contact with the rectangle oscillating plate effectively with vibration.Therefore, need a kind of scheme that even vibration can be provided the hair of clamping in the device.

Summary of the invention

Can realize such scheme by the present invention, the invention provides a kind of ultrasonic hair treatment device, it can provide uniform ultrasonic vibration effect to the hair of clamping in the device.Ultrasonic hair treatment device according to the present invention has: support, and it is configured to the bearing ultrasonic vibrating elements; And clamping components, it is configured to hair pin is held between this clamping components and this support, so that the ultrasonic vibration of described ultrasonic vibration element is applied to described hair.This ultrasonic vibration element is configured to have the rectangle vibration plane, and has a plurality of resonance points of arranging with dot pattern on this rectangle vibration plane.Therefore, can be applied to the topknot on the whole rectangle vibration plane of ultrasonic vibration element in the ultrasonic vibration of the peak swing that a plurality of resonance points produce, make hair be subjected to uniform ultrasonic vibration effect thus, infiltrate hair to quicken agent for treatment of hair, thereby can finish the processing of hair at short notice.

In order to maximize above-mentioned effect, the ultrasonic vibration element is configured to and is clamped in this clamping components and directly contacts with described hair between this support.

Preferably, this support prolongs having longitudinal axis, and one of described support vertically end be pivotally connected to this clamping components.This ultrasonic vibration element is installed on this support, so that the longitudinal axis of described ultrasonic vibration element is with respect to the longitudinal axis inclination of this support.By this set, can increase the edge perpendicular to the topknot of the longitudinal axis extension of this support or this clamping components and the chance that described a plurality of resonance point meets, the whole width of the topknot of clamping all can be subjected to the effect of ultrasonic vibration thus.

In a preferred embodiment, this support is configured to carry at least one described ultrasonic vibration element, and this clamping components is configured to carry at least one auxiliary vibrating elements.Described ultrasonic vibration element and described auxiliary vibrating elements are along the direction setting that intersects with described longitudinal axis.Therefore, ultrasonic vibration can be applied to from the both sides of this support and this clamping components on the whole width of hair of clamping, thereby improves and be convenient to hair treatment.

In this embodiment, this ultrasonic hair treatment device is provided with controller so that described ultrasonic vibration element and described auxiliary ultrasonic vibrating elements alternately vibrate each other, thereby can strengthen ultrasonic vibration under energy-conservation mode.

Preferably, one in described support and the described clamping components is configured to have a plurality of projectioies that are spaced along the longitudinal, in described support and the described clamping components another is configured to have a plurality of grooves simultaneously, and described a plurality of grooves match with described projection respectively when described clamping components closure is on described support.By described projection and groove are set, can be when handling the length of this device and move along topknot, the hair of clamping is limited between the longitudinal end of this device, and hair is smoothly guided between the described longitudinal end, thereby be easy to provide ultrasonic vibration the whole length of topknot.

And preferably, a plurality of described ultrasonic vibration elements are stacked on the described support each other, thereby can strengthen the effect or the ability of ultrasonic vibration.

These and other advantage of the present invention will be by becoming clearer below with reference to accompanying drawing to the explanation of embodiment.
