Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
Detail FIG. 1 is a side view showing the features of the present invention.
1 is a base, 2 is a disc, but it may be an arm, 3 is a support shaft located at the center thereof, and the disc 2 is fixed to the support shaft of 3 and is centered on the support shaft 3 It can be rotated.
Reference numeral 4 denotes a support plate for the disc 2 and the support shaft 3, and the support shaft 3 passes therethrough. Reference numeral 5 denotes a geared motor, and the disc 2 is moved to the required rotation direction and required rotation amount via the support shaft 3. Have the role of moving.
Reference numeral 6 denotes a controller built in the table 1, and the motor 5 is controlled by the controller 6.
The support plate 4 is placed on the table 1 and has a structure that can move in the left-right direction in FIG. 1. This is performed by the linear motor 7 and controlled by the controller 6. 8 is a polishing buff, and 9 is a motor that drives the polishing buff. The motor 9 is driven by the controller 6 and rotates the polishing buff 8. 10 is a cuticle cutting arrow, 11 is an angle adjusting mechanism, which is composed of a gear and a motor, and the motor is controlled by a controller 6. The motor controlled by the controller 6 can change the angle of the shaving arrow 10 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. Reference numeral 12 denotes a finger rest fixed to the base 1, reference numeral 13 denotes a finger of a person placed on the finger rest 12, and reference numeral 14 denotes a nail. Reference numeral 15 denotes a laser beam emitter that determines a finger placement position. Reference numeral 16 denotes a finger fixing band, which places a finger at a position designated by the laser beam 15 and fixes the finger. Reference numeral 17 denotes a switch for starting the operation of the finger fixing band. Reference numeral 18 denotes a switch for starting the machine.
The switches 17 and 18 are connected to the controller 6, and the finger fixing band 16 is controlled by the controller 6.

Explain the details of the operation when using this machine Place the finger 13 with the nail 14 to be cared on the finger rest 12 at this time, align the boundary between the nail and the skin at the point indicated by the laser beam 15, By pressing the switch, the finger fixing band 16 fixes the finger 13 in the best position. After the finger 13 is fixed to the finger rest 12, the geared motor 5, the angle adjusting mechanism 11, and the linear motor 7 are operated in accordance with an instruction from the controller 6, and the work of removing the cuticle of the nail 14 by the shaving arrow 10 is performed. This operation detects the position of the nail 14 on each actuator finger rest 12 and operates accurately and quickly. The detection can be performed using an optical sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like. The method is selected according to the accuracy of.
Next, the disk 2 rotates, and the buff 8 is replaced with the position of the shaving arrow 10 to polish the surface of the claw 14.
During the two operations, control is performed so as to eliminate polishing spots by repeating the movement along the rounded nail surface within an angle range of about 90 degrees for the shaving arrow 10 and about 120 degrees for the buff 8. The machine 6 controls.

Conventionally used items are small and simple hand-held, and it has been necessary to process the fingers of the other hand with one's own hand or with the help of others.

Problems to be solved by the invention

The above-mentioned conventional example requires manual labor, and requires a lot of labor, time, and perseverance, and the finish is not uniform.

Means to solve the problem

The present invention includes a cuticle trimming mechanism and a nail brushing mechanism, and is configured to automatically perform nail care.

The invention's effect

1 Medical, grocery product processing, etc. There are industries where manicure application is prohibited at store counters, etc., so that you can work with your fingertips beautifully at all times. Provide.
2. For those who are vulnerable to chemicals and cannot use nail polish, those who have rough fingertips due to water work, etc., those who are involved in various inspections and for whom nail polish is prohibited, etc.
3 Repetitive use for a certain period of time removes the keratinous skin, and has a massage effect that prevents the skin from being touched.

Figure 1 shows an automated device for nail polish.
