The selection of various courses such as a course that emits only steam and the determination (start of operation) are performed.

  In addition, a tank accommodating portion 17 is provided on the left side of the nozzle portion 13 so as to be recessed from the upper surface of the facial body 12, and the tank accommodating portion 17 is flush with the opening. A water supply tank 18 is detachably accommodated. The water supply tank 18 can be supplied by the user after being removed from the facial device 10, and steam and cold mist are generated from the stored water.

As shown in FIG. 2, the facial body 12 includes a steam generation unit (warm mist generation unit) 31, a mist generation unit (cold mist generation unit) 32, and a negative ion generation unit 33.
The steam generator (warm mist generator) 31 is provided on the front side of the facial body 12 and generates steam (warm mist). The steam generator 31 is provided with PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heaters 35 and 36 on the front side and the rear side that generate heat based on the supply of drive current and have a self-control function of the heat generation. The water supplied into the boiler chamber 37 inside the PTC heaters 35 and 36 is boiled through the steam to generate steam. Incidentally, a part of the water supply pipe 19 extending from the water supply tank 18 is disposed in contact with the outer surface of the front PTC heater 35, and is warmed before flowing into the boiler chamber 37. Steam is generated efficiently within the system. The water supply line 19 is connected to the drainage port 38a of the facial device 10 through the drainage line 38 (see FIG. 5), and is a water stop valve on the drainage line 38 controlled by the operation of the drainage switch. It is possible to drain the face device 10 at 39.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a steam guide pipe 41 for guiding the generated steam to the pair of steam nozzles 21 and 22 is connected to the upper portion of the boiler chamber 37. The steam guide pipe 41 has a branch portion 42 in the middle and is divided into two branches at equal distances from the branch portion 42 toward the steam nozzles 21 and 22, and the steam generated in the boiler chamber 37 is converted into the steam nozzles 21, Guide up to 22 each. Since the pressure in the boiler chamber 37 and the steam guide pipe 41 is high, steam is discharged from the discharge holes of the steam nozzles 21 and 22 with a certain degree of momentum.

  Further, a steam discharge portion 43 having a discharge electrode 43 a is provided at a position slightly before the branch portion 42 of the steam guide conduit 41. The steam discharge portion 43 is for further miniaturizing the steam passing through the discharge portion 43 by its own discharge. In addition, the steam discharge portion 43 uses a metal (for example, platinum) that has an antioxidative effect and is good for the skin, and generates metal fine particles by utilizing discharge, thereby miniaturizing the steam. And the inclusion of fine metal particles. The steam refined by the discharge unit 43 is rectified at the downstream side of the steam discharge unit 43 and immediately before the branch unit 42 so that the same amount branches from the branch unit 42 to the respective steam nozzles 21 and 22. A rectifying unit 44 is provided (see FIGS. 3 and 5).

  The mist generating unit (cold mist generating unit) 32 is provided on the rear side of the steam generating unit 31, and generates a cold mist using the Venturi effect. The water in the water supply line 19 extending from the water supply tank 18 is used not only as the steam generation but also as a cold mist, and a water supply line for supplying a part of the water from the water supply line 19 to the mist nozzle 23. 51 is provided. A part of the water supply conduit 51 is arranged to meander in the plane direction of the heat radiating surface (vertical surface) 36a of the rear PTC heater 36 and abut against the heat radiating surface 36a. Sterilization of water for cold mist in the water supply pipe 51 is also performed by heating the PTC heater 36 on the side. Note that a filter 52 is mounted in the pipe at a position immediately before the mist nozzle 23 in the water supply pipe 51 to remove dust from passing water.

  Also, as the mist generating unit 32, a pneumatic feeding path 53 is provided in the facial body 12 and air is fed into the pneumatic feeding path 53 by the operation of a pump 54 using an electric motor as a drive source. Is called. This pumped air is supplied toward the discharge hole of the mist nozzle 23, and a venturi effect is produced by joining the water in the water supply pipe 51 before the discharge hole, and the water in the water supply pipe 51 is sucked out together with the pumped air. As a result, cold mist is generated and discharged.

  The negative ion production | generation part 33 is provided in the nozzle part 13 as shown in FIG.2 and FIG.4, generates a corona discharge, and produces | generates a negative ion. The ion generation unit 33 is configured such that a unitized negative ion discharge unit 61 is accommodated and held in an accommodation recess 24 a formed in the ion nozzle 24 of the nozzle unit 13. In the ion discharge portion 61, the needle electrode 63 is supported with respect to the electrode holder 62 having a predetermined shape so as to be accommodated and held in the accommodation recess 24a, and on the tip of the needle electrode 63, on the axis of the needle electrode 63. An annular counter electrode 64 is supported and configured so that the annular center is located. A lead wire 65 is connected to the needle electrode 63 and the counter electrode 64 on the rear side of the tip of the needle electrode 63, and each lead wire 65 is connected to the rear portion of the electrode holder 62 (from the tip of the needle electrode 63). The elastic mounting member 66 integrally provided on the rear side) is elastically held and led out to the face body 12 side, and is connected to the control circuit board 71 in the vicinity of the upper surface of the face body 12.

  When a high voltage is applied to the needle electrode 63 during negative ion generation, a corona discharge is generated around the tip of the needle electrode 63 due to a potential difference with the counter electrode 64, and negative ions are generated. The generated negative ions are attracted to the counter electrode 64 having a potential lower than that of the needle electrode 63, and the amount not attached to the counter electrode 64 is released toward the outside of the ion nozzle 24, that is, toward the user's face surface or the like. It has become.

  Incidentally, in this ion generation part 33 (ion discharge part 61), the space X2 around the needle electrode 63 is only opened to the outside, and the space X2 around the needle electrode 63 and the space X1 in the facial body 12 are partitioned. It has been. As for the partition of the space X2 around the needle electrode 63, the elastic mounting member 66 provided at the rear part of the electrode holder 62 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the housing recess 24a in an annular shape (the elastic mounting member 66 is also in close contact with each lead wire 65). It is made in. Here, when a member made of a silicon material (for example, a part of the water supply conduit 51) provided in the space X1 in the facial body 12 is heated by a heat source such as the PTC heaters 35 and 36, the space X1 enters the space X1. An event occurs in which silicon floats and the floating silicon rides on the heated air in the facial body 12 and adheres to the needle electrode 63, thereby preventing corona discharge and reducing the amount of negative ions generated. In addition, the dust in the facial body 12 is likely to adhere to the needle electrode 63 on the air. Therefore, by partitioning the space X2 around the needle electrode 63 and the space X1 inside the facial body 12, foreign matters such as floating silicon and dust generated in the facial body 12 can enter the space X2 around the needle electrode 63. This prevents the foreign matter from adhering to the needle electrode 63.

  The control circuit board 71 is supplied with power from the outside by a power cord 70 (see FIG. 1), and based on the control of the control circuit 72 composed of various circuit components mounted on the board 71, the steam generation unit 31, Operation power is supplied to each of the mist generation unit 32 and the ion generation unit 33. As shown in FIG. 5, the control circuit 72 switches between the operable state and the stopped state of the facial device 10 based on the on / off operation of the power switch 25, and the operation control switch 26 and the course selection switch in the operable state. Based on the setting of various use courses by 27 combination operations, the operation of the steam generating unit 31 (PTC heaters 35, 36, the steam discharge unit 43, etc.) and the mist generating unit 32 (pump 54, etc.) is controlled. In addition, the ion generation unit 33 (ion discharge unit 61) is operated together with the operations of the previous generation units 31 and 32. Incidentally, the various use courses of the facial device 10 of the present embodiment include a discharge course of only steam and a combined discharge course of steam and cold mist (alternate discharge course of steam and cold mist every predetermined time), Simultaneously with these releases, negative ions are released.

  By the way, this facial device 10 is provided with two steam nozzles (warm mist nozzles) 21 and 22 arranged in the left-right direction, and substantially the same amount of steam is simultaneously discharged in parallel from each of the steam nozzles 21 and 22. It is like that. In contrast to the steam nozzles 21 and 22 paired in this way, the mist nozzle (cold mist nozzle) 23 is disposed at an intermediate position on the straight line where the steam nozzles 21 and 22 are arranged, and the ion nozzle 24 is slightly above the mist nozzle 23. It arrange | positions (on the intermediate position between each steam nozzles 21 and 22). When the cold mist is discharged from the mist nozzle 23, negative ions emitted from the ion nozzle 24 ride on a cold mist flow having a large driving force, and many of them reach the object such as the face surface.

  Further, even when the steam is discharged from the steam nozzles 21 and 22, negative ions from the ion nozzle 24 ride on the steam flow having a large propulsive force, and many of them reach the object. At this time, from the arrangement relationship between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 and the ion nozzle 24 that form a pair, the combined steam flow generated by the interaction (overlap) of the left and right discharge steams in the negative ion discharge direction is a single steam flow. Therefore, when the steam is discharged, more negative ions reach the target object on the combined steam flow having an increased flow rate.

  Here, FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram depicting the positional relationship between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 and the ion nozzle 24 in the discharge direction (viewed from the back side) (for convenience, the steam nozzles). FIG. 6 (b) shows the number of negative ions emitted when the ion nozzle 24 is shifted in the horizontal direction from the intermediate position P1 between the steam nozzles 21 and 22. FIG. FIG. 6C shows the steam flow velocity distribution.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, in this embodiment, the distance L1 between the ion nozzle 24 and each of the steam nozzles 21 and 22 is set to be equal, and the ion nozzle 24 is on the intermediate position P1 between the steam nozzles 21 and 22. The steam discharge capacity (the steam generation capacity of the steam generation section 31, the inner diameter of the steam guide pipe 41, the discharge hole diameter of the steam nozzles 21, 22), the distance between the steam nozzles 21, 22 and the like are suitable. As shown in FIG. 6 (c), the maximum flow velocity of a single steam flow is set by the interaction (overlap) of the left and right emitted steam in the negative ion emission direction as shown in FIG. 6 (c). The combined steam flow that is larger than that of the flow velocity distribution is generated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6B, from the ion nozzle 24 arranged at the intermediate position P1 between the steam nozzles 21 and 22, more negative ions are converted into a synthetic steam flow having a large propulsive force with an increased flow velocity. It can be seen that it has been released to the object. In the present embodiment, the mist nozzle 23 is disposed at the true intermediate position P1, and the ion nozzle 24 is positioned slightly above, but such an effect is sufficiently obtained.

  Here, with regard to the above setting of the present embodiment, the steam discharge capacity of each discharge hole of the steam nozzles 21, 22 is about 3.6 [mm], and the steam discharge amount per one of the steam nozzles 21, 22 is 4-8. [Ml / min], and the distance between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 (L1 + L1 = 2L1) is set to 7 [cm].

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the discharge amount of negative ions is measured by changing the distance between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 when the steam discharge capacity is the same, the distance between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 is 6 [ When the distance is set to [cm], the farther away from the intermediate position P1 where the ion nozzle 24 is located, the greater the amount of decrease in the amount of negative ions released, but this is preferable because more negative ions are released on the intermediate position P1.

  In the setting of the present embodiment in which the distance between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 is 7 [cm], many negative ions are released on the intermediate position P1, and the amount of negative ions released is also increased even if it is far from the intermediate position P1. The reduction width is also small, which is more preferable because stable ion emission can be performed over a wide range.

  If the distance between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 is set to 8 [cm], the amount of decrease in the amount of negative ions released increases as the distance from the intermediate position P1 increases. However, negative ions are stably released in a relatively wide range near the intermediate position P1. Therefore, it is preferable.

  When the distance between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 is set to 9 [cm], the amount of decrease in the amount of negative ions released increases as the distance from the intermediate position P1 increases, and the amount of negative ions released generally decreases near the intermediate position P1. In addition, the intermediate position P1 is doubled and the intermediate position P1 is greatly reduced. This is presumably because the steam nozzles 21 and 22 are largely separated, the overlap of the steam flows on the intermediate position P1 is small, and the flow rate of the combined steam flow does not increase so much.

  Therefore, in the case of the present embodiment in which the steam discharge capability is set as described above, the distance between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 is desirably 8 [cm] or less, and among these, in the present embodiment, the distance between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 is set. It is set to 7 [cm].

  As shown in FIG. 6 (b), in the above setting of the present embodiment, the ion nozzle 24 is moved about 45% to the left and right with respect to the distance L1 from the intermediate position P1 to the steam nozzles 21 and 22. An increase in the number of released negative ions was observed even when the value was shifted within the range Lx. Therefore, it can be said that the above-described effect can be obtained even when the ion nozzle 24 is shifted from the intermediate position P1 between the steam nozzles 21 and 22 with the range shifted to the left and right.

  Incidentally, from the aspect in which the discharge directions of the steam nozzles 21 and 22 are parallel as shown in FIG. 6C, the discharge directions of the steam nozzles 21 and 22 are mutually ahead as shown in FIG. 6D. If the angle θ1 is inclined so as to be close to each other, it is possible to increase the flow velocity of the combined steam flow in the negative ion emission direction.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the above items, the steam nozzle 21, which is located above the mist nozzle (cold mist nozzle) 23, that is, at the same height as the mist nozzle 23, 22 is also located on the upper side (see FIG. 1). That is, since the steam is directed upward in addition to the discharge direction, it is rationally arranged to easily place the negative ions discharged from the ion nozzle 24 on the steam, which contributes to an increase in the amount of ions reaching the object.

  Further, the steam nozzle 21, in which the opening 24 b of the ion nozzle 24 is located behind the opening 23 a of the mist nozzle (cold mist nozzle) 23 by a distance L 2, that is, the same position in the front-rear direction as the mist nozzle 23, By being located behind the openings 21a and 22a of the 22 (see FIG. 1), the penetration of steam into the ion nozzle 24 is suppressed. Further, the opening 24b of the ion nozzle 24 is provided with an annular convex portion 24c that protrudes from the periphery by a length L3 in order to suppress intrusion of water or the like into the opening 24b. As a result, intrusion of water or the like into the ion nozzle 24 caused by condensation of steam and steam is suppressed, and it is prevented that the ion generation due to the ingress of steam or water into the ion nozzle 24 is hindered. Induction of breakage of the ion generation unit 33 (ion discharge unit 61) due to the steam or water is prevented.

Next, characteristic effects of the present embodiment will be described.
(1) In the present embodiment, two steam nozzles (warm mist nozzles) 21 and 22 for simultaneously discharging the same amount of steam (warm mist) are provided, and an intermediate position between the two steam nozzles 21 and 22 An ion nozzle 24 is disposed on P1. That is, between the pair of steam nozzles 21 and 22, a combined steam flow having a flow velocity larger than the maximum flow velocity of the single steam flow is generated by the interaction (overlap) of the discharge steam, and among them, the combined steam flow velocity is Since the ion nozzle 24 is disposed on the maximum intermediate position P1, negative ions are placed on a synthetic steam flow having a large propulsive force with an increased flow velocity so that more negative ions can reliably reach the target. Can do. Thereby, it can be expected to obtain a higher beauty effect.

  (2) In the present embodiment, the space X2 around the needle electrode 63 and the space X1 in the facial body 12 in the ion generator 33 (ion discharge unit 61) are partitioned by the elastic mounting member 66 that also functions as a partition member. It has been. As a result, foreign matter such as floating silicon generated in the heating device (heaters 35, 36) in the facial body 12 and the member using the silicon material, or dust or the like existing inside the body 12 is around the needle electrode 63 from the body 12 side. Can be prevented from entering the space X2 and foreign matter can be prevented from adhering to the needle electrode 63, which accelerates the progress of aging, so that ion emission can be performed well over a long period of time.

  (3) In this embodiment, the ion nozzle 24 is positioned above the mist nozzle (cold mist nozzle) 23, that is, above the steam nozzles 21 and 22 at the same height as the mist nozzle 23. ing. As a result, since the steam is directed upward in addition to the discharge direction, it is possible to rationally arrange the negative ions discharged from the ion nozzle 24 on the steam, which contributes to an increase in the amount of ions reaching the target. it can.

  (4) In the present embodiment, the opening 24b of the ion nozzle 24 is located on the rear side of the opening 23a of the mist nozzle (cold mist nozzle) 23, that is, in the front-rear direction with the opening 23a of the mist nozzle 23. The steam nozzles 21 and 22 at the same position are located on the rear side of the openings 21a and 22a. Therefore, the penetration of steam into the ion nozzle 24 is suppressed. Thereby, it can prevent that the ion production | generation by the penetration | invasion of the steam into the ion nozzle 24 is obstructed, and also induces the breakage of the ion production | generation part 33 (ion discharge part 61) by the water etc. which arose by the steam and dew condensation. Can be prevented.

  (5) In the present embodiment, the opening 24b of the ion nozzle 24 is provided with an annular protrusion 24c that suppresses the intrusion of liquid into the opening 24b. Therefore, intrusion into the ion nozzle 24 from the surroundings of water or the like caused by the condensation of steam is suppressed. Also by this, it is possible to prevent the generation of ions due to the penetration of water or the like into the ion nozzle 24 and to prevent the ion generation unit 33 (ion discharge unit 61) from being damaged by the water or the like. be able to.

In addition, you may change embodiment of this invention as follows.

You may produce | generate warm and cold mist using the apparatus which mist-forms using the apparatus which mist-forms, an electrostatic atomizer, etc. Moreover, although it was set as the structure which discharge | releases both warm mist and cold mist, it is good also as a structure which discharge | releases any one mist.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8G, the number of mist nozzles 101 that discharge warm or cold mist and the number of ion nozzles 102 that discharge ions may be changed as appropriate. .
