Description

Grainer with decortication annex

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of decortication annex that is used for grainer, grainer has a runner, and runner has the clip that is used to pull out the undesirable unnecessary chaeta of human body.

Background technology

This grainer comprises some clips, is positioned on the runner, is shaped as thin slice or plate-like, clip can be driven and periodically cut out and open, clamping chaeta near the skin place, so that pull out chaeta by the rotation of runner, and the chaeta that will be pulled out is discharged.Pulling out of chaeta is a kind of efficient and simple method that suppresses chaeta regeneration, but the user usually needs skin is handled before pulling out.

Therefore, breadboard test shows, before pulling out skin is carried out the dead skin layer that gluing can be eliminated accumulation, can also give length in subcutaneous chaeta scale removal, it can be pulled out when therefore losing hair or feathers.On the skin of handling like this, lose hair or feathers and to obtain a surface smooth, that cleaning is also removed dead cell fully.

People know description of the prior art can mechanical removal skin with the document of the device that improves skin condition.Described such device among the document FR-2773461, this device is equipped with the oscillation drive of a milling tool by a shell of disinfecting and a handle in the handle, and milling tool is fixed on the end of the output shaft of handle.

Other document description some be used for by grinding the device that skin is handled, these devices have the different device that makes the milling tool vibration.

Document EP-0381962 has been described a kind of device of removing the callus on the pin, this device has a microscler handle that a motor is housed, and axle of motor-driven rotates, and an end of axle has a milling tool, a uneven thing is installed on the same axle, so that make milling tool whirling vibration.

Document US-3169536 has been described another kind and has been used for particularly handling the device of callus by milled processed skin.This device has a shell, and the armature of an electromagnet and a band spring is arranged in the shell, and the installation of armature makes that armature is attracted by electromagnet when an electric current passes electromagnet.Milling tool of the upper support of armature, armature drive milling tool and carry out translational vibration.

These devices are used to handle skin, and are irrelevant with depilation.Therefore, if want that depilation must be used two devices one by one then at depilation pre-treatment skin, one is used for gluing, and second is used for depilation, chronic like this, and makes us very much dull.People be also noted that use power supply separately, function is different and each all has cost and the complexity that two devices of the drive unit of instrument separately can increase processing.

In addition, document FR-2728777 has described a kind of device by polishing elimination callus, and this device has a head that has the spin finishing wheel.This head can separate with the power box of device, and this device may be exactly a grainer.For the head of grainer is installed on the power box, head is equipped with the device that is connected with the power box, and a driving handle that is connected with the gear train of power box.The scheme that proposes in the document has partly solved the problems referred to above, uses a unique power box because this scheme has been described, and this power box is originally the power box of grainer, also is used for to the skin gluing.But this scheme also has limitation, in order to use, must replace first depilation head with second grinding head.Therefore the use of this device is also very inconvenient.In addition, second grinding head also needs the gear train of a complexity, thereby changed its cost.

Summary of the invention

An object of the present invention is a kind of grainer that has runner, runner has some clips that periodically open and close, and is used for pulling out chaeta when runner rotates, and this device also has the device to the skin gluing.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of grainer that has runner, runner has the clip that some movable thin slices form.These movable thin slices or with other movable thin slice associating, perhaps unite with fixed disk, clip periodically cuts out and opens, so that pull out chaeta when described runner rotates, grainer also has an annex that grainer can be used as the preceding skin glue applicator of depilation.

In addition, the annex that grainer is used as peeling device should be simple in structure, so that increase reliability and reduce manufacturing cost.

An additional purpose of the present invention provides and a kind ofly in fact can have the annex that the grainer of movable clip uses with all, does not need device is carried out structural change.

Another object of the present invention is an annex that is used for grainer, and this annex can separate with described grainer at an easy rate, so that clean, sterilize or parts that replacing contacts with skin.

This annex should guarantee with simple and be convenient to mode that the user uses from a kind of function, as epilation, is transformed into another function, as giving the skin gluing.

These purposes realize by a kind of annex that is used for grainer, grainer has a shell that a motor is housed, the motor-driven starting drive, make at least one clamp apparatus that is used to pull out chaeta on the skin periodically carry out the close motion, described annex has device and at least one movable members that is fixed on the described shell, movable members is driven with skin and contacts during use, because the described movable members of annex is started by drive unit, realization is to the polishing of skin, and drive unit can start clamp apparatus simultaneously.

In other words, annex is arranged to be contained on the head of grainer, utilizes the motion of grainer (or direct drive unit of grainer) to drive the movable members with a means of abrasion.Movable members can for example move along parallel moving of rotating shaft with the depilation head.

For interchangeable head, the structure of movable members and layout are all simplified.

In addition, for the user, an annex that simply is contained in existing grainer top is more convenient for understanding down to the interchangeable head of motor output gear group than needing to dismantle grainer, and easier use.

Movable members can have some spines or broach with the skin contact part branch, can combing and/or mention the chaeta of skin and/or give a kind of pain prior to epilation pain.

Advantageously, the described movable members according to annex of the present invention covers a kind of grinding-material at least a portion surface that it contacts with skin.

Therefore, the skin treatment before this annex can be pulled off the feather of with same grainer, and pull off the feather of subsequently.Carrying out that this polishing and gluing handle is in order to slough the top layer of skin, and the dead cell of cleaning skin, and particularly removing those has duration at chaeta subcutaneous and that do not have this preliminary treatment just can not pull out.

When carrying out various test, people can prove with the tradition epilation that does not have gluing in advance and compare that the quality of the synergy of decortication and the epilation of carrying out subsequently, the quality of epilation and the skin area after the processing has tangible improvement.Therefore, the skin that carries out after the surface treatment with this physics clean method seems fresher, more flexible, and makes skin finer and smoother.In fact the epilation of carrying out has subsequently removed all chaetas, promptly long at skin surface and original long at subcutaneous chaeta.

This annex can provide additional function for traditional grainer with simple, reliable, economic mode and maneuverable device, and all users are had security.

Therefore, can realize that a kind of epidermis skin that has the gluing effect grinds.Movable members is coated with a kind of material with some particles, and these particles have sharp-pointed, sharp surface, and the relative skin movements of this material is removed the dead skin layer, and discharges the chaeta by the skin surface constraint.

Movable members is preferably done the translational motion of relative skin.

Verified, it is long at subcutaneous chaeta that translational motion of grinding the relative skin of part can be removed better, carries out a kind of very light and not repeating motion of chafe.

The surface portion of described covering grinding-material preferably constitutes for the surface on plane substantially by one.

This surface helps contacting with skin in an enough big zone, makes that to pass through minimum number of times on skin just much of that, and this has just improved the speed of processing.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the movable members of annex is driven and does the motion of depilation head relatively.

This constructive scheme is simple and reliable especially.In fact, between the part of the drive unit of plucker clip and annex, do not need the drive unit that adds.Do translational motion by the annex support and with a depilation movable members that contacts by the driving of depilation head.

Advantageously, movable members is also to do the translation oscillating movement more than or equal to the frequency of 50Hz.

Obviously as you know, the gluing of skin operation also is accompanied by the temporary transient acupuncture of skin or the sensation of heating sometimes.In addition, studies show that on skin and to implement the sensation that frequency can ease the pain more than or equal to the vibration of 50Hz.Therefore, can cover the uncomfortable feeling that friction causes with the movable part of such frequency vibration.

According to an advantageous embodiments of the present invention, annex has a framework, has the device on the shell that is fixed on grainer in the framework, and the guiding of movable members and bracing or strutting arrangement, the supporting surface that movable members has at least an assurance to contact with drive unit.

This constructive scheme of annex is very simple, reliable, is convenient to make in batches, and low cost of manufacture.An annex of realizing like this can use with existing grainer at an easy rate.

Preferably be removably mounted on according to annex of the present invention on the shell of grainer.

Therefore, annex can be embedded on the grainer at an easy rate, and can remove annex, so that clean, change the grainer of another annex or the no annex of use.

Advantageously, movable members is removably mounted on the framework of annex.

Can change another movable members like this, for example change a movable members that granularity is different, keep the same support or the framework of annex simultaneously.This scheme obtains an annex that can carry out other skin treatment operation with less cost, particularly removes the callus of skin and files skin etc.

Movable members preferably is removably mounted on the elastic device in the annex framework.This installation can make annex follow the profile of skin better, and can not make the position of boniness injured.

In another embodiment of the present invention, grainer has a shell, a motor is housed in the shell, the motor-driven starting drive, the clamp apparatus that makes at least one be used to pull out the skin chaeta carries out the periodically motion of close, also has the movable members that contacts with skin when at least one uses, and movable members is positioned at the next door of clamp apparatus, in the front of grainer clamp apparatus of moving direction on skin, the described movable members of grainer forms the preceding friction to skin of epilation.

This structure can make grainer on skin only by once just finishing gluing and depilation, gluing is just carried out before epilation, can reduce the time of skin treatment like this.

Advantageously, described movable members is started by the drive unit that starts clamp apparatus simultaneously.

The movable members of implementing gluing can be used as the part of annex, and annex has the device that can drive annex, so that carry out gluing.Obviously, this heavier annex is connected with grainer with electrical connection by the device that is fixed on the shell.

It is also conceivable that and use an independent motor and mechanism to drive the movable members of implementing gluing, these devices are arranged in the shell of grainer.

But because cost and volume, people more are ready to use the drive unit of epilation clip to make the sizer motion.Therefore, the part of implementing gluing is incorporated in the structure of grainer, and this part is fixedly mounted on that the depilation head is gone up or depilation head next door, in a depilation front relative to grainer before moving on the skin.This part can directly directly rotate by the epilation head, perhaps directly by an epilation rotational oscillation or translation vibration, perhaps by other mechanism rotation is converted to vibration.
