  FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the beauty device 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the main body 11 includes a power supply unit 21 for outputting a current, and a primary coil 22 a (a power supply unit 22) that generates an electromagnetic field when a current from the power supply unit 21 flows. .

Body 23b). Here, the power supply from the primary coil 22a to the secondary coil 24a is caused by the magnetic flux generated in the primary coil 22a by arranging the secondary coil 24a close to the primary coil 22a generating the magnetic field. A so-called electromagnetic induction that is excited to generate an electromotive force in the secondary coil 24a generates a magnetic line of force in each of the primary coil 22a and the secondary coil 24a, thereby generating a secondary line from the primary coil 22a. Electric power is supplied to the coil 24a. Here, for example, when high frequency power of 40 to 100 kHz is applied to the primary coil 22a, the same high frequency power is also output to the secondary coil 24a. In this case, if the primary coil 22a is modulated with a low frequency power of 1 Hz to cause a blocking oscillation, a blocking oscillation of 1 Hz is also excited in the secondary coil 24a.

And negative voltage are output alternately. Such a waveform diagram is effective for infiltrating the treatment site with a bipolar cosmetic / pharmaceutical component such as tranexamic acid.

  FIG. 6 is a modification of the block diagram illustrating the configuration of the beauty device 1 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 6A, the secondary coil 24 a (the power receiving unit 24) and one electrode unit 23 are illustrated. The rectifier diode is disposed between the electrode body 23a and the sine wave shown in FIG. 5A is input to the power feeding unit 22, so that the waveform of the power receiving unit 24 is as shown in FIG. 5C. Only positive or negative voltage is output (half-wave pulse). Such a waveform diagram allows the treatment site to permeate unipolar cosmetic / pharmaceutical components, for example, vitamin C derivatives such as phosphate-L sodium ascorbate, phosphate-L magnesium ascorbate, and ascorbate glucoside. It is effective for. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, a rectifier diode is disposed between the secondary coil 24a (power receiving unit 24) and one electrode unit 23 (electrode body 23a), and the electrode unit 23 ( In a state where a capacitor is disposed between the electrode body 23a and the counter electrode body 23b), a positive voltage as shown in FIG. 5D or a sine wave shown in FIG.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, rectifier diodes are arranged in parallel between the electrode parts 23 (electrode body 23a, counter electrode body 23b), and the Sin wave shown in FIG. As a result, only a continuous positive voltage or negative voltage as shown in FIG. 5E is output (full-wave rectification pulse). The waveform input to the power feeding unit 22 is not limited to the Sin wave, but may be a rectangular wave or a triangular wave. The waveform output from the power receiving unit 24 may be a frequency modulation type or a frequency / amplitude simultaneous modulation type.

  Next, the operation of the beauty device 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The user attaches the function unit 12 to the treatment site and operates the power ON / OFF switch of the operation unit 11b disposed in the main body unit 11 to activate the beauty device. When the main body 11 is brought close to the position where the functional unit 12 is pasted, ion introduction is started. The place where the functional part 12 is pasted may be anywhere as long as it is a treatment part such as skin or skin. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the functional part 12 is pasted around the eyes. Moreover, it is good to apply the solution and solvent containing an ionized component to the treatment part or the adhesion part 12a side of the function part 12 before sticking the function part 12 to a treatment part. Of course, the adhesion part 12a may contain an ionization component.

  Here, the beauty device 1 has a built-in control unit that controls the current from the power supply unit 21 to be changed to a pulse and outputs the pulse to the electrode unit 23, and the power ON / OFF switch of the operation unit 11b. In response to input from the mode change switch and the strength change switch, the electrode unit 23 is controlled. In practice, this control unit is mainly implemented by a microcomputer, and the remaining part is composed of a circuit. The electrode unit 23 outputs a current in accordance with a control signal (electrode control signal) output from the control unit. In addition, the control unit appropriately outputs a detection signal for human body detection from the electrode unit 23. The human body detection is to detect whether or not the electrode part 23 is in contact with the treatment part (human body). The purpose of using human body detection is to detect a treatment site (human body), output a current, and reliably perform ion introduction to the user. The beauty device 1 is particularly useful for performing a soft start, that is, it has a meaning of performing a soft start in a state where the electrode portion 23 is reliably in contact with the treatment portion (human body). When the soft start is performed in a state where the electrode part 23 is not in contact with the (human body) and the treatment part (human body) is brought into contact with the treatment part (human body) during the normal operation after the soft start has elapsed, the meaning of the soft start is lost. When the current from the electrode unit 23 is output, the detection signal may not be output. This is because when the current is appropriately output, the treatment portion (human body) electrode portion 23 is in contact, and it is not necessary to separately output a detection signal. Here, in order to inform the user that the electrode part 23 is in contact with the treatment part (human body) appropriately, a light emitting part (light emitting diode) may be provided in the main body part 11 to change the light emission. Until the human body is detected, the light emitting unit is blinked, and when the human body is detected, the light emitting unit is turned on.

  In the human body detection, specifically, a detection signal having a predetermined frequency is output from the pair of one electrode portions 23a. This detection signal is input to the counter electrode portion 23b of the other electrode portion through the treatment portion (human body) when the treatment portion (human body) and the electrode portion 23a are in contact with each other. Since the treatment portion (human body) is used, the detection signal detected by the counter electrode portion 23b may be a weak signal containing noise compared to the detection signal detected by the electrode portion 23a. There is. When it is determined whether or not the treatment part (human body) is actually in contact with such a signal, it is determined that the treatment part (human body) is detected if only one of the detection signals is detected. It is an early measure, and there is a possibility that the peak value temporarily rises due to noise. Therefore, if an integration circuit such as a resistor or capacitor is installed in the human body detection circuit and a detection signal is input for a certain period of time, a signal indicating that the human body has been detected is output to the control unit. It is good to do. Here, the fixed time can be adjusted by changing the resistance value of the integrating circuit or the capacitance of the capacitor, and can also be made variable. As another human body detection method, a configuration is adopted in which a cosmetic operation is performed only when an average of detection signals detected by the counter electrode part 23b corresponding to the output detection signal is equal to or higher than a predetermined voltage level. You can also. Further, not only the average of the detected detection signals but also the average of the remaining detection signals can be set as a comparison target by ignoring the first and last several detection signals. The reason why the first and last detection signals are ignored is that the detection signals for the first and last electrical signals are weakened when an electrical signal is generally sent to the treatment area (human body). Is. Other than this, it is possible to determine whether there are two points having a high voltage change rate by taking this property as the opposite. These two points mean portions where the detection signals for the first and last electrical signals are weakened. Further, the determination may be made not only based on the average but also based on the number of detection signals exceeding a predetermined voltage level among the detection signals. In order to detect a human body, a rectifier diode is disposed between the secondary coil 24a (power receiving unit 24) and one electrode unit 23 (electrode body 23a) as shown in FIG. A circuit diagram in which a rectifier diode and a voltage determination circuit are arranged between them can be considered.

  Subsequently, a beauty device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The beauty device 1 according to the first embodiment performs a cosmetic operation locally by attaching the functional unit 12 directly to the treatment portion, but the beauty device 1 according to the present embodiment is a mask so as to cover the entire face. By pasting the part 12 ′ (functional part 12), it is possible to perform a cosmetic operation on the entire face. The configuration of the mask portion 12 'will be described. A secondary coil (power receiving portion) (not shown) that receives an output from the primary coil 22a of the main body portion 11 in a sheet-like shape, and a pair of electrode portions that output current 23 (electrode body 23a, counter electrode body 23b) and an adhesive portion (not shown) containing an ionized component, the secondary coil (power receiving portion) is disposed on the outer periphery of the sheet, and the electrode portion 23 is the electrode body 23a. Are arranged on the top and bottom of the sheet so that the counter electrode body 23b is opposite to the position of the jaw, and the adhesive part 12a is disposed on the entire surface of the sheet so as to exclude one of the pair of electrode parts. It is arranged. In the mask portion 12 ', as shown in FIG. 9, an opening 67 is preferably provided at a position facing the eyes, nose, and mouth.

  By covering the mask portion 12 ′ having such a configuration on the face and bringing the main body portion 11 close to the mask portion 12 ′, the primary coil 22 a (power feeding portion 22) to the secondary coil 24 a (power receiving portion 24) by electromagnetic induction. Power is supplied, and a cosmetic operation can be performed on the entire face.

  In each embodiment, it is possible to adjust the strength of the cosmetic operation. The adjustment controls the power input to the power feeding unit 22 and the power output from the power receiving unit 24 or the main body unit 11. It is possible by adjusting the distance between the power supply unit 22 (primary coil 22a) in the main body unit 11 and the power receiving unit 24 (secondary coil 24a) in the function unit 12. .

  Moreover, the beauty device 1 in each embodiment is constituted by a main body part 11 and a function part 12, and in a state where the function part 12 is attached to a treatment site, the main body part 11 is picked up and brought close to the function part 12. For example, if a component in which the power feeding unit 22 (primary coil 22a) is incorporated is separately placed in a room or built in a household item such as a cushion, bed, or carpet, the user can sleep while eating. However, it is possible to perform a beauty operation while watching TV. In addition, the electromagnetic induction method is adopted as a method for supplying power from the power feeding unit 22 (primary coil 22a) to the power receiving unit 24 (secondary coil 24a). Various wireless power feeding methods such as a method and a radio wave receiving method may be employed.
