JP 2007-68586 A

  However, in the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when the heating temperature of the liquid is increased in order to improve the sterilization property of the mist, the temperature for sterilizing the liquid is much higher than the normal temperature. There is a possibility that the temperature of the skin becomes too high, and the temperature is not suitable for human skin. In addition, in order to bring the mist close to room temperature, it is necessary to cool the liquid after the heat treatment, but for example, if the liquid after the heat treatment is stored and cooled, the mist discharge will be interrupted, so continuous use There was a problem that could not.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mist generating device that has a high bactericidal property and can continuously discharge mist at a temperature close to room temperature. .

In order to solve the above problems, the invention described in claim 1 is characterized in that a mist generating unit that generates mist from a liquid supplied from a liquid supply path, and minerals are added to the liquid supplied from the liquid supply path by electrolysis. At least a pair of electrodes eluting, a heating unit for heat sterilization of liquid in the liquid supply path, the heat sterilization liquid or by heating unit is cooled by passing in front of the mist emitted from the discharge outlet cooling and parts, and a tank for storing liquid to be supplied to the mist generator via the liquid supply path, the mist generating device that emits a mist generated in the mist generation portion from the discharge port, wherein The cooling part is provided with a heat radiating fin, air is blown from the fan toward the heat radiating fin, and in the tank, there is an electrolytic assistant for eluting the electrolyte into the liquid in the tank. The electrolysis aid is provided at a position where it does not come into contact with the liquid in the tank when the tank is connected to the liquid supply path. The gist is that the cooling in the cooling unit and the electrolysis in the electrode are performed in parallel to the mist before being discharged from the discharge port .

In this invention, since the liquid heated by the heating part or the mist before being discharged from the discharge port is cooled by passing through the cooling part, the liquid is heated to improve the sterilization property of the mist and after heating. The temperature of the mist generated and released by the liquid can be made close to room temperature to be suitable for the human body. In addition, since the heated liquid or mist passes through the cooling section and is cooled, there is no need to retain the liquid or mist for cooling and to perform a cooling process, and the mist that is brought to room temperature is continuous. Are released.
In addition, since the tank is provided with an electrolytic assistant that elutes the electrolyte, even purified water with extremely low conductivity can be electrolyzed when injected into the tank. For this reason, it becomes possible to generate mist using purified water with few impurities. Further, since the electrolytic assistant is provided in the tank in advance, it is not necessary to add the electrolytic assistant every time purified water is used.
Since the electrolytic assistant provided in the tank is provided at a position where it does not come into contact with the liquid in the tank when the tank is connected to the liquid supply path, once the tank is installed in the mist generator, the electrolytic assistant is provided. The agent does not dissolve in the liquid, and the conductivity of the liquid before electrolysis is constant. For this reason, the density | concentration of the mineral ion eluted by electrolysis can be kept substantially constant, and the mist with a stable mineral ion density | concentration can be generated. Further, when the tank is installed in the mist generating device, the electrolysis assistant is not dissolved in the liquid, so that the consumption of the electrolysis assistant can be minimized. For this reason, the liquid can be repeatedly injected into the tank and used while suppressing the number of times of replenishment of the electrolytic aid.

  The gist of the invention according to claim 2 is that, in the mist generator according to claim 1, the pair of electrodes are provided in the cooling section. In this invention, since the mineral can be continuously eluted by electrolysis with respect to the liquid passing through the cooling section, the mineral concentration of the liquid can be kept constant at all times.

  The gist of the invention described in claim 3 is that, in the mist generator according to claim 1 or 2, the pair of electrodes include at least either zinc or magnesium. In this invention, since the pair of electrodes contains at least either zinc or magnesium, the mist released from the discharge port contains zinc ions or magnesium ions. Therefore, the mist is released toward the human body to release the mist. Can be in a good state.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the mist generating apparatus according to any one of the first to third aspects, the generation of a warm mist that generates and releases a mist having a temperature higher than that of the mist discharged from the discharge port. The gist is that it has a part. In this invention, since it has a warm mist generating part that discharges mist higher in temperature than the cooled mist discharged from the discharge port, the skin is relaxed by releasing the hot mist toward the human body. Can increase the absorption rate.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the mist generating device according to the fourth aspect , the release of the mist generated by the mist generation unit and the release of the mist generated by the warm mist generation unit are alternately performed. The gist of the present invention is that it includes control means for performing the above. In this invention, the cooled mist and the high-temperature mist are alternately released, that is, the mist having a temperature difference is alternately released. Therefore, by alternately releasing both mists toward the human body, the vicinity of the skin The peripheral blood vessels are trained by repeated tension and contraction. For this reason, blood circulation can be improved. In addition, by releasing high-temperature mist toward the human body and releasing the cooled mist containing mineral ions toward the human body in a state where the absorption rate of the skin is increased by relaxing the skin, Improves skin permeability.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the mist generating device according to the fifth aspect , the control means ends the discharge of the mist by discharging the mist generated by the mist generating section, and at the time of the discharge Only a voltage is applied to the pair of electrodes to elute minerals into the liquid. In this invention, after the cooled mist and the high-temperature mist are alternately released to stimulate the skin and increase the absorption rate, the skin is relaxed by the high-temperature mist and then cooled including mineral ions. Since the released mist is released, the mineral ions efficiently penetrate into the skin. For this reason, the mineral of a pair of electrode will be used efficiently, consumption of an electrode will be suppressed, and size reduction of an electrode size can be achieved.

  Therefore, according to the above-described invention, mist having a high bactericidal property and a temperature close to normal temperature can be continuously released.

(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 2 of the facial device 1 as a mist generating device is connected via a liquid supply path 3 to a liquid reservoir 4 in which a liquid for generating mist is stored.

  A tank 12 is attached to the tank holder 11 of the liquid storage unit 4. The tank 12 is installed in the tank holder 11 such that the opening is closed by a lid 12a provided with a water stop pin (not shown) and the lid 12a is on the lower side. The tank holder 11 is provided with a protruding pin (not shown) having a shape corresponding to the water stop pin. The tank 12 is installed in the tank holder 11 in a state where the liquid is injected, so that the water stop pin is pushed in by the protruding pin, the watertightness is released, and the liquid flows out. The liquid that flows out of the tank is stored.

  An electrolytic aid 13 is attached to the bottom surface 12 b in the tank 12. The electrolytic assistant 13 is made of, for example, a salt such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, or calcium chloride, or a metal such as aluminum or zinc that has a high ionization tendency. Since the electrolytic assistant 13 is attached to the bottom surface 12 b, it does not come into contact with the liquid in the tank 12 when the tank 12 is installed on the tank holder 11.

  The tank holder 11 is connected to a liquid reservoir 21 formed at the lower part of the main body 2 via the liquid supply path 3. The liquid reservoir 21 is supplied with the liquid in the tank holder 11 via the liquid supply path 3 and is stored up to the same water level as the tank holder 11. The liquid reservoir 21 is provided with a heater 22 as a heating unit that heats the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 21.

  In the main body 2, a cooling portion 23 formed in a cylindrical shape extends along the vertical direction of the main body 2, and is fixed so that the lower end thereof is in the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 21. Yes. The upper end of the cooling unit 23 is formed in a tapered shape with a reduced diameter. And the cooling part 23 raises the liquid of the liquid pool part 21 to an upper end by the venturi effect mentioned later.

  On the outer periphery of the cooling unit 23, radiating fins 24 that form a plurality of cooling units radially are provided. The main body 2 contains a fan 25 and a drive unit 26, and the fan 25 is driven by the drive unit 26 to blow air toward the cooling unit 23. A blower supply path 2 a is formed inside the main body 2 so that the air flow from the fan 25 is directed toward the cooling unit 23.

  A pair of zinc electrodes 27 are attached to the inner surface of the cooling unit 23. The zinc electrode 27 is attached to a position where it does not come into contact with the liquid when the facial device 1 is not used, for example, the center of the cooling unit 23 in the vertical direction. When a voltage is applied to the zinc electrode 27, electrolysis occurs in the liquid in the cooling unit 23, and a current flows between the zinc electrodes 27. As the electrolysis occurs, zinc ions are eluted in the liquid in the cooling unit 23.

  A mist generating unit 30 is disposed on the upper side of the cooling unit 23. The air pump 31 of the mist generating unit 30 is installed in the middle stage 2b formed inside the main body unit 2, and the air flow from the air pump 31 is arranged near the tip of the cooling unit 23 and is formed in a cylindrical shape. 32. A narrow-diameter portion 32 a whose diameter gradually decreases is formed at the tip of the air passage 32. A discharge port 2c is formed in the main body portion 2 in front of the small diameter portion 32a (left side in the figure). The inner diameter of the discharge port 2c is set larger than the inner diameter of the tip end of the small diameter portion 32a. Then, the air guided from the air pump 31 into the air passage 32 and discharged from the small diameter portion 32a passes above the tip of the cooling portion 23 and is discharged from the discharge port 2c to the outside of the main body portion 2.

  The heater 22, the drive unit 26, the zinc electrode 27, and the air pump 31 are connected to a control device 35 as control means. The control device 35 controls each member so that the mist generating unit 30 generates mist and discharges the mist from the discharge port 2c.

Next, the operation of the facial device 1 described above will be described.
First, purified water is poured into the tank 12 with the lid 12a facing up without being installed in the tank holder 11. Then, the purified water comes into contact with the electrolytic assistant 13 provided at the bottom of the tank 12, the electrolyte is dissolved from the electrolytic assistant 13, and the conductivity of the purified water is approximately 0 (μs / cm). As a result, the liquid in the tank 12 becomes water quality that can be energized.

  Thereafter, when the tank 12 is installed in the tank holder 11, the liquid in the tank 12 flows out and is stored in the tank holder 11. Then, the water level of the tank 12 decreases, and the electrolysis assistant 13 does not come into contact with the liquid in the tank 12, and the elution of the electrolysis assistant 13 into the liquid stops. For this reason, once the tank 12 is installed in the tank holder 11, the electrolyte concentration of the liquid in the tank 12 does not change.

  Note that even if a voltage is applied between the zinc electrodes 27 in a state where purified water is passed through the cooling unit 23, electrolysis hardly occurs and current does not flow easily. Will begin to elute, so that the current will flow more easily and the electrolytic reaction will proceed. For this reason, the electrolytic auxiliary agent 13 to be melted may be a small amount, and may be a trigger for starting electrolysis. The liquid flowing out of the tank 12 is supplied to the liquid reservoir 21 through the liquid supply path 3, and the liquid is stored in the liquid reservoir 21 at the same water level as the tank holder 11.

In this state, the control device 35 drives the air pump 31, the heater 22, and the driving unit 26 and applies a voltage to the zinc electrode 27.
When the control device 35 drives the air pump 31, the air flow from the air pump 31 passes through the air blowing path 32 toward the discharge port 2 c. At this time, since the opening on the narrow diameter portion 32a side in the air passage 32 is sufficiently smaller in diameter than the air passage 32 and sufficiently smaller in diameter than the discharge port 2c, the small diameter portion 32a is in the gas flow path. A negative pressure is generated at this portion. For this reason, the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 21 is sucked up through the cooling unit 23. Then, the air flow sent from the air pump 31 and the liquid sucked from the upper end opening of the cooling unit 23 are mixed and discharged as mist from the discharge port 2c. Thus, the mist generating part 30 of this embodiment is a venturi system. The amount of mist generated from the discharge port 2c is preferably 0.4 (cc / min) to 2.0 (cc / min), and further 0.8 (cc / min) to 1. 6 (cc / min) is desirable.

  Further, the control device 35 drives the heater 22 so as to raise the temperature so as to sterilize the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 21. Specifically, the temperature of the liquid in the liquid reservoir 21 is desirably heated from 70 (° C.) to 100 (° C.) by the heater 22, and further heated from 80 (° C.) to 90 (° C.). It is desirable. The average particle size of the mist generated by the mist generating unit 30 is about several tens (μm), and includes a mist having a particle size of several microns that reaches the lungs, although it is small, the heater 22 By this, the liquid is sterilized by heating, so that invading bacteria can be prevented.

  Further, when the control device 35 drives the drive unit 26, the fan 25 rotates and air is blown toward the cooling unit 23 through the air supply path 2 a inside the main body unit 2. For this reason, the liquid heated in the liquid reservoir 21 is cooled by passing through the cooling unit 23, and the heat from the heat radiation fins 24 is efficiently radiated by the wind from the fan 25, and the temperature drops to almost normal temperature. Will be.

  Further, when the control device 35 applies a voltage to the zinc electrode 27, zinc ions are eluted from the anode-side zinc electrode 27 into the liquid in the cooling unit 23 by electrolysis. For this reason, zinc ions are contained in the mist discharged from the discharge port 2c. The concentration of zinc ions in the liquid is preferably 100 (ppm) or more, and more preferably 1000 (ppm) or more. The air flow rate of the fan 25 is preferably 30 (l / min) to 70 (l / min), and more preferably 40 (l / min) to 60 (l / min). The amount of mist discharged from the discharge port 2c is controlled by controlling the flow rate of the air pump 31, operating and stopping time, and the diameter of the discharge port 2c.

  In the present embodiment, constant voltage control is adopted as the electrolysis control method. Since the water quality of the liquid to which the voltage is applied is substantially constant in a state where a small amount of the electrolytic assistant 13 is dissolved in the purified water, applying a constant voltage to the zinc electrode 27 causes a substantially constant current to flow. . For this reason, the control apparatus 35 can elute zinc ion of a fixed density | concentration by performing electrolysis for a fixed time.

Next, characteristic effects of the present embodiment will be described.
(1) In the facial device 1, since the liquid heated by the heater 22 is cooled by passing through the cooling unit 23, the liquid is heated to improve the sterilization property of the mist and is generated by the heated liquid. The temperature of the released mist can be made close to normal temperature to be a temperature suitable for the human body. Moreover, in the facial device 1, since the heated liquid passes through the cooling unit 23 and is cooled, it is not necessary to retain the liquid for cooling and perform a cooling process, and the mist is brought to room temperature. Are continuously released.

  (2) In the facial device 1, since the zinc electrode 27 is provided in the cooling unit 23, the liquid that passes through the cooling unit 23 can be eluted with minerals continuously by electrolysis. The mineral concentration of can always be kept constant.

  (3) In the facial device 1, since zinc ions are eluted from the zinc electrode 27 into the liquid in the cooling unit 23, the mist discharged from the discharge port 2c contains zinc ions, so the mist is directed toward the human body. Zinc ions penetrate into the skin. Zinc ions have the property of inducing and producing metallothionein that inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, an endogenous protein, and eliminates the active enzyme inside the skin. Since tyrosinase is an enzyme that works in the process of generating melanin from tyrosine, the formation of metallothionein inside the skin by zinc ions suppresses the production of melanin inside the skin, which in turn suppresses the occurrence of spots on the skin. The

  (4) In the facial device 1, since the tank 12 is provided with the electrolytic assistant 13 for eluting the electrolyte, even purified water having an extremely low conductivity can be electrolyzed when injected into the tank 12. Water quality. For this reason, it becomes possible to generate mist using purified water with few impurities. Further, since the electrolytic assistant 13 is provided in the tank 12 in advance, it is not necessary to add the electrolytic assistant every time purified water is used.

  (5) In the facial device 1, the electrolysis aid 13 provided in the tank 12 comes into contact with the liquid in the tank 12 when the tank 12 is connected to the liquid supply path 3, that is, installed in the tank holder 11. Since the tank 12 is once installed in the facial device 1, the electrolytic assistant 13 does not dissolve in the liquid, and the conductivity of the liquid before electrolysis becomes constant. For this reason, the density | concentration of the zinc ion eluted by electrolysis can be kept substantially constant, and the mist with the stable zinc ion density | concentration can be generated. Further, when the tank 12 is installed in the facial beauty device 1, the electrolytic assistant 13 does not dissolve in the liquid, so that the consumption of the electrolytic assistant 13 can be minimized. For this reason, it is possible to repeatedly inject the liquid into the tank 12 while suppressing the number of times of replenishment of the electrolytic aid 13.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In addition, about the component similar to 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the facial device 40 as the mist generating device of the present embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the facial device 1 of the first embodiment, mist higher in temperature than the mist discharged from the discharge port 2 c. A warm mist generating unit 41 that generates and discharges is provided. In the facial device 40 of the present embodiment, the zinc electrode 27 is installed not on the cooling unit 23 but on the bottom surface of the liquid reservoir 21.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the warm mist generating unit 41 is connected to the liquid supply path 3 via the liquid supply path 3 a and is connected to the tank holder 11. The main body portion 42 of the warm mist generating portion 41 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape extending in the vertical direction, the lower end is connected to the liquid supply path 3a, and the upper end portion is bent in a right angle direction to form the discharge port 43. Yes. By connecting the liquid supply path 3 a to the lower end of the main body 42, the liquid is stored in the main body 42 at the same water level as the tank holder 11.

  By providing a partition wall 44 near the discharge port 43 inside the main body portion 42, a warm mist generating chamber 45 is formed below the main body portion 42. The partition wall 44 has an opening 44a. In the warm mist generating chamber 45, a heater 46 is installed at a position in contact with the stored liquid.

  The heater 46 is connected to the controller 47 together with the heater 22, the drive unit 26, the zinc electrode 27, and the air pump 31. The control device 47 controls each member so that mist is discharged from the discharge port 2 c and the discharge port 43.

Next, the operation of the facial device 40 described above will be described.
In the present embodiment, the control device 47 electrolyzes the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 21 by applying a voltage to the zinc electrode 27 and elutes zinc ions into the liquid from the zinc electrode 27 on the anode side. Let

  Further, when the control device 47 drives the air pump 31, the liquid containing zinc ions generated in the liquid reservoir 21 is sucked while being cooled by the cooling unit 23, and is released as mist by the mist generating unit 30. Released from the outlet 2c.

  Further, the controller 47 drives the heater 46 to heat and boil the liquid stored in the warm mist generating chamber 45 to generate mist. The mist generated in the warm mist generating chamber 45 is discharged from the discharge port 43 through the opening 44a.

  The control device 47 alternately discharges mist having a temperature close to normal temperature generated by the mist generating unit 30 and discharging high-temperature mist generated by the warm mist generating unit 41. The control device 47 alternately releases the mist from the discharge port 2c and the mist from the discharge port 43 a plurality of times, and then terminates the mist discharge by releasing the mist from the discharge port 2c. The voltage is applied to the zinc electrode 27 only when the mist is discharged from the final discharge port 2c, and the mist containing zinc ions is discharged from the discharge port 2c.

  Specifically, the control device 47 drives the heater 46 of the warm mist generating unit 41 for a certain period of time to release the mist from the discharge port 43, and then stops the driving of the heater 46, and the air pump 31, the heater 22, and The drive unit 26 is driven for a certain time to discharge mist from the discharge port 2c. Thereafter, the driving of the air pump 31, the heater 22 and the driving unit 26 is stopped and the heater 46 is driven. By repeating this, the control device 47 alternately releases the mist from the discharge port 43 and the mist from the discharge port 2c. The control device 47 ends the discharge of the mist by discharging the mist from the discharge port 2c, but drives the air pump 31, the heater 22, and the drive unit 26 only when the mist is finally discharged from the discharge port 2c. At the same time, a voltage is applied to the zinc electrode 27 to elute zinc ions into the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 21.

Next, characteristic effects of the present embodiment will be described.
(1) Since the facial device 40 includes the warm mist generating unit 41 that discharges mist having a temperature higher than that of the cooled mist eluted from the discharge port 2c, the high-temperature mist is discharged toward the human body. Can relax the skin and increase the absorption rate of the skin.

  (2) In the facial device 40, the discharge of the cooled mist from the discharge port 2c and the discharge of the high-temperature mist from the discharge port 43 are alternately performed, that is, mist having a temperature difference is alternately discharged. Therefore, by alternately releasing both mists toward the human body, peripheral blood vessels in the vicinity of the skin are trained by repeating tension and contraction. For this reason, blood circulation can be improved.

  (3) In the facial device 40, after the cooled mist and the high temperature mist are alternately released to stimulate the skin and increase the absorption rate, the skin is relaxed by the high temperature mist and then released. Since the cooled mist containing zinc ions is discharged from the outlet 2c, the zinc ions efficiently penetrate into the skin. For this reason, the zinc of the zinc electrode 27 will be used efficiently, the consumption of the zinc electrode 27 will be suppressed, and the electrode size can be reduced.

  (4) In the facial device 40, since electrolytic elution of zinc ions by applying a voltage to the zinc electrode 27 is performed on the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 21, electrolytic elution of high-concentration zinc ions is easily performed. A facial device having a relatively simple structure can be provided.

In addition, you may change embodiment of this invention as follows.
In each of the above embodiments, the case where the method of generating the mist by the mist generating unit 30 is the venturi method, but the mist may be generated by other modes such as an ultrasonic method and a discharge method. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the liquid reservoir 21 formed below the main body 51 of the facial device 50 as a mist generator is provided with an ultrasonic element 52 as a mist generator. The sound wave element 52 is connected to the control device 53. In the main body 51, a discharge port 54 is formed above the liquid reservoir 21, and a heat dissipation portion 55 is formed as a substantially conical cooling unit whose diameter gradually decreases from the liquid reservoir 21 to the discharge port 54. In addition, an air supply path 56 is formed inside the main body 51 so that the air flow from the fan 25 is directed toward the heat radiating portion 55.

  When the control device 53 drives the ultrasonic element 52, mist is generated from the liquid reservoir 21. The mist is mixed with air sent from the fan 25 to the heat radiating unit 55 and cooled, and is collected toward the discharge port 54 and discharged from the discharge port 54. With this configuration, since the liquid is cooled after being misted, the heat is radiated and cooled more efficiently than the liquid is cooled.

  Moreover, the zinc electrode 27 is provided in the liquid reservoir 21, and when a voltage is applied to the zinc electrode 27, the zinc in the zinc electrode 27 is eluted into the liquid. Thereby, mist containing zinc ions is generated from the liquid reservoir 21. With this configuration, mist can be generated with a simple configuration that only drives the ultrasonic element 52. Moreover, since the mist is generated by the ultrasonic element 52, the particle size of the mist can be reduced. For this reason, mist can be sprayed on a human body uniformly, and the whole skin can be stimulated uniformly.

  In each of the above embodiments, control is performed such that when a constant voltage is applied to the zinc electrode 27, a constant current flows through the liquid. However, a current value at the time of voltage application is detected, and zinc ions predicted based on the current value are detected. The electrolysis time may be controlled so as to change depending on the concentration of the electrolyte. Even in that case, the zinc ion concentration in the mist can be made constant.

  In each of the above embodiments, the zinc electrode 27 is provided, but the electrode may be formed of other materials such as magnesium. When a magnesium electrode is provided in place of the zinc electrode 27, magnesium ions are eluted in the liquid by applying a voltage between the electrodes. In that case, magnesium ions penetrate into the skin when the mist is released toward the human body. Magnesium ions have the function of transporting intercellular lipids (having water retention properties) in the granule layer under the stratum corneum in the epidermis of the skin by penetrating into the skin. Intercellular lipids are transported to the stratum corneum, increasing the skin's moisture retention and moisturizing the skin.

  In each of the above embodiments, a facial device is described as a mist generating device. However, the mist generating device is not limited to a facial device, and is a device that discharges mist toward a part of the body, for example, a hand or a foot. May be.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the pair of zinc electrodes 27 are provided on the facial devices 1, 40, and 50, but a plurality of electrodes may be provided on the liquid supply path 3.
