Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ultrasonic beautifying apparatus for ejecting mist from a probe head that vibrates ultrasonically.

[0002]

The ultrasonic wave generates a vibration wave having a strong energy to crush the bacterial cells, peel off the surface layer,
When this vibration wave acts on the skin, it disinfects the skin surface layer, exfoliates waste and stratum corneum, and lifts acne, oil in pores, dirt, and makeup residue. It promotes blood circulation in the surface layer of the skin, activates tissues, and relaxes muscles to remove spots, wrinkles, and tarmi.

[0003] However, ultrasonic waves are greatly attenuated in the air, and even if the ultrasonic vibrator is brought into direct contact with the skin, the air intervenes and energy is not efficiently transmitted to the skin.
Therefore, a medium such as cream or gel is applied to the contact surface between the ultrasonic vibrator and the skin to increase the ultrasonic wave propagation efficiency.

[0004] On the other hand, when water or lotion is applied as mist with ultrasonic waves and sprayed on the skin, fine water particles penetrate deep into the skin to moisturize the skin. The skin moistened with water and lotion efficiently transmits the ultrasonic vibration waves, the water particles wash away the grease and dirt floating on the surface of the skin, and the active ingredient penetrates to every corner of the skin to provide nutrition, It has the effect of refreshing and rejuvenating the skin. Thus, the ultrasonic mist has the effect of moisturizing the skin, increasing the transmission efficiency of the ultrasonic waves, cleaning dirt, and providing nutrition to the skin.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a more effective ultrasonic beautifying device by moisturizing the skin with a mist, thereby increasing the ultrasonic wave propagation efficiency and promoting the ultrasonic cleaning action. Things.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a front view and a partial cross-sectional view of an ultrasonic beautifying device embodying the present invention. In the ultrasonic beautifying device, a cylindrical head 2 is provided in front of a probe 1 and an ultrasonic vibrator 3 made of piezoelectric ceramics is fixed inside the head 2.

The head 2 has a mesh plate 5 having a hole 4 formed in the head surface and a mesh attached to a ring-shaped outer frame.
Are exchangeably fitted to cover the hole 4, and a space 6 is formed on the back side of the mesh plate 5. In addition, a connection hole 7 is opened in the outer periphery of the head 2, and an outlet 9 of the container 8 is inserted into the connection hole 7 so as to be exchangeably connected to connect the space 6 to the container 8. By providing the container 8, a fixed amount of liquid can be stored in the container 8, so that it is not necessary to inject the liquid into the connection hole 7 each time.
Further, various types of liquid can be exchanged together with the container 8 to generate various types of mist. Container 8
When replacing the liquid, the mesh plate 5, the space 6, and the connection hole 7 are thoroughly washed so that different types of liquids are not mixed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the connection holes 7 may be arranged, for example, at three locations on the outer periphery of the head 2 and the space 6 and the three containers 8 may be connected by inserting the outlets 9 of the containers 8 respectively. .
Thus, even if the probe 1 is tilted or inverted, the liquid is supplied from three directions, so that the liquid is constantly supplied to the space 6.

As shown in FIG. 4, the container 8 may be provided with a liquid tube 10 at the outlet 9 and inserted into the connection hole 7. Thereby, the container 8 can be replaced together with the liquid tube 10 so that the connection hole 7 is not stained. The liquid tube 10 is filled with a water retention material 11 such as a sponge so that the liquid in the container 8 does not flow at one time. Also, the stopper 12 is fitted into the supply hole of the container 8, and when empty, the stopper 12 is removed to supply the liquid.
The stopper 12 has a small-diameter air hole 13 connected to the outside to help the liquid in the container 8 to flow out into the space 6.

The head 2 is made of a flexible and elastic thin stainless steel plate, hard aluminum, duralumin,
It is formed of a metal such as a thin copper plate, and is subjected to surface treatment such as hard chrome plating.

[0014] The mesh plate 5 is formed with a large number of small holes with a diameter of 20 to 100 µm and is distributed at high density throughout the mesh plate 5. If the pores of the mesh plate 5 are too large, a liquid having a low viscosity tends to leak out of the mesh plate 5 when the switch is turned off, and if the pores are too small, a liquid having a high viscosity causes an obstacle such as difficulty in forming a mist. Is replaced with a mesh plate 5 having a different diameter of the small hole according to the above. The mesh plate 5 having innumerable small holes can be made by processing a thin metal plate by etching or electroforming.

The probe 1 further includes a power switch 14 and an ion introduction electrode 15. The ion introduction electrode 15 is connected to an anode or a cathode of a DC power supply (not shown), and the other electrode is connected to the head 2. This allows
A direct current of 0.3 to 0.7 mA flows between the hand holding the probe 1 and the skin to which the head 2 is applied. When a direct current is applied to the skin, the water or salt on the skin surface is decomposed by electrolysis to generate ions, and pores are opened and closed to allow an acidic or alkaline solution to permeate the skin. The anode is
It causes an acidic reaction in the skin, soothes nerves, reduces blood circulation, tightens tissue and closes pores. For this reason, it is effective in closing the pores after the treatment and suppressing inflammation of the skin. In contrast, the cathode is
It causes an alkaline reaction in the skin, stimulates nerves, stimulates blood circulation, softens tissues and opens pores. For this reason, it is effective in penetrating skin lotion and the like from the epidermis to the skin.

In the ultrasonic beautifying apparatus embodying the present invention, the container 8 is connected to the head 2 of the probe 1 and the liquid in the container 8 is injected into the connection hole 7 and the space 6 with the above configuration. At this time, the liquid in the connection hole 7 and the space 6 tends to leak out through the mesh plate 5, but when the switch is off, the connection hole 7 and the space 6 are narrow and the total amount of the liquid is small. Since the liquid is restricted by the surface tension of the liquid, the liquid stops in the connection hole 7 and the space 6 and does not leak out from the mesh plate 5. In this state, the power is turned on and an oscillating voltage is applied to the ultrasonic vibrator 3. As a result, the head 2 undergoes bending deformation and vibrates at a small amplitude, and the ultrasonic vibration wave acts on the liquid filled in the connection hole 7 and the space 6 to push the liquid out of the mesh plate 5. When the liquid passes through the mesh plate 5, it is broken down into fine particles and spouts out from the surface of the mesh plate 5 in a mist state.

[0017]

As described above, in the ultrasonic beautifying apparatus of the present invention, a liquid is supplied to the back side of the cavity by covering the probe head with a recess, covering it with a mesh plate having a myriad of small holes. Is ejected in a mist state by ultrasonic vibration. Therefore, according to the present invention, since the skin can be moistened with the mist squirting from the probe head and the propagation efficiency of ultrasonic waves can be increased,
Eliminates the need to apply cumbersome creams and gels because of the need for wiping. Also, by supplying the lotion, the fine particles of the lotion penetrate the skin, wash away dirt and fats in the deep part, and the active ingredient nourishes the skin, and the ultrasonic warming action and vasodilating action etc. Synergistically enhances the metabolic function of the cells deep in the skin, and is particularly effective in recovering and eliminating spots, wrinkles, tarmi, and acne.
