Therefore, it is possible to minimize the volume and thickness of the vibration module and ensure flexibility, and to transmit the vibration of the vibrator to the human skin as the vibration of the whole vibration module. In particular, the present invention relates to a vibration module for skin massage that can transmit vibration to a relatively wide human skin region and improve portability.

  It is instinct that humans pursue beauty. Therefore, the efforts to prepare the skin and maintain youth from the desire to have clean and beautiful skin have continued in various ways with the history of mankind.

  In Japan, it can be confirmed from the books that various efforts have been made to pursue beauty from the past. In recent years, this tendency has become higher, and there is a great interest in beauty regardless of gender. It is a trend to get higher.

  And as mentioned above, skin is a very important matter in the pursuit of beauty. Among these, facial skin is one of the important factors that determine the beauty of the appearance and has a great impact on the impression. Effect.

  Therefore, regardless of gender, age, etc., the vast majority of people are striving to protect and manage their skin, and there are a variety of products that can be used to care for the skin to keep pace with this trend. Is provided. For example, products used for facial skin management include skin moisturizing cosmetics, nutritional creams, and cosmetic masks.

  Among them, the patch is a kind of makeup tool particularly favored by women because it keeps the skin of the face moist and has elasticity. The types of patches are roughly classified into partial patches and full-face patches (usually used as terms such as a makeup mask and a mask pack, and in the following description, referred to as “makeup mask”). Here, the cosmetic mask is manufactured in a form containing a liquid cosmetic application agent in a sheet formed so as to cover the face.

  Also, in recent years, cosmetics are simply applied to the skin, or makeup masks are applied to the face, leaving only the absorption of the skin itself. Devices have been provided that improve skin absorption by applying a small amount of physical stimulation or vibration.

  FIG. 1 is a view showing a conventional device (hereinafter referred to as “skin stimulating device”) for artificially stimulating the skin so that the active ingredient of the makeup mask and the cosmetics soak into the skin of the face better. As shown in the figure, the conventional skin stimulating device includes a patch 10, a skin contact portion 20, and a vibrator 30.

  The patch 10 is attached to a local part of the face, and the size of the patch 10 and the number attached to the face are not limited.

  The skin contact portion 20 is made of a silicon material and is attached to at least a part of the face to which the patch 10 is not attached. Such a skin contact portion 20 is made of a silicon material and has an adhesive force.

  The vibrator 30 includes a power supply unit 40 and a vibration generating unit 31, and an adhesive portion of silicon material is attached to the bottom surface of the vibration generating unit 31. And the vibration generation part 31 generates a vibration by rotation of a motor, Such a vibration generation part 31 is a technique which generate | occur | produces the existing vibration, and it is preferable to have a capacity | capacitance of 9000-15000 (rpm).

  The operation of the conventional skin assist device configured as described above will be described. After the user puts a patch on the face part to which vibration is to be applied, the skin contact portion is positioned with the patch positioned on the lower side. On the face. The user then attaches the vibrator's adhesive to the skin contact area where the patch is located, and then supplies power to the vibrator to transmit the vibration to the patch and facial skin. Here, since the bonding portion and the skin bonding portion of the vibrator are made of silicon material and bonded to each other, the user does not have to hold the vibrator by hand.

  However, since the conventional skin irritation device as described above is configured in such a manner that the vibration generation unit of the vibrator and the power supply unit are connected through a predetermined length of electric wire, the vibration generation unit may operate independently. You can't do it and always have a power supply. As a result, the volume of the skin stimulating device is relatively large, and it is inconvenient to carry. Further, only a relatively small vibration generating unit actually acts on the skin irritation, and most of the components included in the power supply unit are completely unrelated to the effect of stimulating the skin. As a result, it is possible to apply a stimulus only to a relatively narrow skin region around the vibration generating unit. As a result, a large number of vibration generating units are required to apply a uniform stimulus to a relatively wide region of the facial skin. Become.

  And since the conventional skin irritation device is provided with a separate switch for intermittently switching the power supply of the power supply unit, and the power is supplied to the vibrator by the on / off operation of such a switch, the power supply structure is relatively complicated. And a relatively large volume. In order to eliminate such a phenomenon, when the switch is omitted, there is an inconvenience that the power connection jack of the vibrator must always be separated from the power supply unit in order to stop the vibration operation.

  In addition, since the vibration generating part of the conventional skin stimulation device can only adjust the vibration intensity simply by changing the rotation speed of the motor, it cannot provide various skin massage functions and has functional limitations. is there.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and includes a printed circuit board and a battery in which a vibrator, a driving unit thereof, and a control unit of the driving unit are provided on a flexible support plate. By being attached and integrally connected, it is possible to minimize the volume and thickness of the vibration module and ensure flexibility, and to transmit vibration of the vibrator to the human skin as vibration of the whole vibration module. Therefore, it is an object to provide a vibration module for skin massage that can transmit vibration to a human skin region that is relatively wider than the size of the vibrator.

  Further, according to the present invention, the power supply structure of the drive unit for driving the vibrator is a switching structure using a thin terminal and a sheet type insulator, and does not include a relatively complicated switch configuration including an operation unit such as a button. Skin massage that enables the power supply to the battery drive unit to be interrupted by the switching function of the insulating member, and that the battery is consumed only when the vibrator is activated, while simplifying the overall structure and minimizing the volume It is an object to provide a vibration module for use.

  In addition, the present invention provides a variety of methods in which the vibration method of the vibrator is advanced from simple adjustment of the strength by a control unit that controls the driving unit of the vibrator by a pulse width modulation (PWM) method. An object is to provide a vibration module for skin massage that improves the skin massage effect by vibration.

  The present invention also provides a skin massager vibration module that ensures the flexibility of the entire vibration module and can bend smoothly according to the skin bending of the human body while closely contacting the skin to improve the vibration transmission function. There is a purpose to provide.

  In addition, the present invention provides a skin massager vibration module that can transmit vibration over the entire vibration module and has a relatively large vibration transmission area, but the overall volume is relatively reduced to improve portability. There is a purpose to provide.

A drive unit that provides vibration power of the vibrator; a control unit that controls the drive unit to control a vibration state of the vibrator; a battery that supplies power to the drive unit and the control unit; and the printed circuit A support plate for integrally connecting the substrate and the battery; a power supply terminal for electrically connecting the power supply terminal of the battery and the power supply terminal of the driving unit formed on the printed circuit board; An insulating member that is attached to a contact region between the power connection members and allows contact between the power terminals of the battery and the power connection members when separated from the battery; It made.

  The support plate is made of a flexible material.

  The battery and the vibrator may be fixed to the support plate so as to be positioned at both ends in the long axis direction with respect to one elliptical surface of the support plate in order to increase flexibility of the vibration module. And

  In addition, the control unit controls the driving unit using a pulse width modulation (PWM) method, outputs two or more different output pulses to the driving unit, and the two or more different output pulses. Are sequentially output according to a preset criterion, or only one kind selected in advance is continuously output.

  The printed circuit board has a battery hole and a vibrator hole for inserting and fixing the battery and the vibrator, and at least a part of the battery is inserted and fixed in the battery hole. Is characterized in that at least a part thereof is inserted and fixed in the vibrator hole.

  The printed circuit board may include power terminals for supplying power to the driving unit.

  Further, the insulating member is formed in a sheet shape, and is detachably attached to the battery so as to block the power terminal.

  In addition, a buffer pad for preventing direct contact between the vibrator and the human skin is attached to one surface of the support plate.

  The printed circuit board may be a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB).

  The driving unit may be any one of a vibration motor, a solenoid (Solenoid), a piezoelectric (Piezo) element, and a linear vibrator (Linear Vibrator).

Since the vibration of the vibrator can be transmitted to the human skin as the vibration of the whole vibration module, it is possible to minimize the thickness and ensure the flexibility. Vibration can be transmitted.

  In addition, the power supply structure of the drive unit for driving the vibrator is a switching structure with thin terminals and sheet type insulators, and does not include a relatively complicated switch configuration including an operation unit such as a button. While realizing simplification and minimization of volume, the power supply to the battery drive unit can be interrupted by the switching function of the insulating member, and the battery can be consumed only when the vibrator is operated.

  Hereinafter, a vibration module for skin massage according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a vibration module for skin massage according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a side view of a vibration module for skin massage according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in the drawing, the vibration module 100 for skin massage according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a printed circuit board 110, a vibrator 120, a driving unit 130, a control unit 140, a battery 150, a support plate 160, a power connection member 170, and Insulating member 180 is included.

  The printed circuit board 110 is provided with a vibrator 120 on one surface and a drive unit 130 and a control unit 140 mounted thereon. Accordingly, a circuit pattern for electrical connection between the battery 150, the driving unit 120, and the control unit 130 is formed on the printed circuit board 110. The printed circuit board 110 may be formed of a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), and the skin massage vibration module 100 adheres to the skin surface while gently bending according to the bending of the skin. This is to further improve the function.

  The vibrator 120 is installed on the printed circuit board 110 and vibrates by receiving power by driving the driving unit 130. Such a vibrator 120 applies a stimulus to the skin of the user by the vibration. That is, the vibrator 120 is a direct part for performing skin massage in the skin massage vibration module 100 and a part for transmitting the power for skin massage to the entire skin massage vibration module 100. The vibrator 120 can be inserted into the vibrator hole 160 a formed in the printed circuit board 110 and the support plate 160.

  This is to reduce the overall thickness of the skin massage vibration module 100. In other words, when the vibrator 120 is installed on any one surface of the printed circuit board 110, the entire skin massage vibration module 100 is removed. The thickness is obtained by adding the thickness of the printed circuit board 110 and the support plate 160 to the thickness of the vibrator 120. Therefore, the vibrator hole 160a is formed in the printed circuit board 110 and the support plate 160, and the vibrator 120 is inserted into the vibrator hole 160a, thereby printing from the entire thickness of the skin massage vibration module 100. Only the thickness of the circuit board 110 and the support plate 160 is subtracted, so that the total thickness of the skin massage vibration module 100 can be reduced.

  The driving unit 130 is mounted on the printed circuit board 110 and receives power from the battery 150. Such a drive unit 130 provides power to the vibrator 120. The driving unit 130 may be formed of any one of a vibration motor, a solenoid (Solenoid), a piezoelectric (Piezo) element, and a linear vibrator (Linear Vibrator).

  The control unit 140 is mounted on the printed circuit board 110 and controls the operation of the driving unit 130 to adjust the vibration state of the vibrator 120 in various ways. The control unit 140 controls the operation of the driving unit 130 using a pulse width modulation (PWM) method. That is, the controller 140 operates the driving unit 130 in various forms by controlling the pulse width modulation method. At this time, the controller 140 outputs two or more different output pulses, and the output pulse is selected in advance according to a preset criterion, in which two or more different output pulses are sequentially output. Only one of them can be continuously output. The vibrator 120 may vibrate so as to provide various types of massage functions such as scrubbing, rubbing, grasping, pushing, and striking according to the various output pulses and the operation state of the driving unit 130. it can.

  Referring to FIG. 4, FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (i) image the massage action of a vibrator that vibrates in various different forms depending on the type of output pulse output from the control unit 140 to the driving unit 130. It is a thing. That is, the darkly displayed portion in the drawing corresponds to a portion where the vibration of the vibrator is transmitted, and the blank portion corresponds to a portion where the vibration of the vibrator stops or does not.

  FIG. 4 (a) shows a form in which relatively strong vibrations last for a predetermined time with the same intensity, and FIG. 4 (b) repeats relatively strong vibrations with the same intensity at short intervals in a short time. FIG. 4 (c) shows a form in which relatively strong vibrations are repeated at a short interval of predetermined time with the same intensity. FIG. 4 (d) shows a form in which the vibration starts and weakens gradually and lasts for a predetermined time. FIG. 4 (e) is a strong vibration opposite to FIG. 4 (d). It starts and shows a form in which the vibration gradually weakens and lasts for a predetermined time. FIG. 4 (f) shows a form in which the vibration starts gradually, and the vibration gradually becomes stronger and then reaches a peak, and then the vibration becomes gradually weaker. In addition, the description about FIG.4 (g) to FIG.4 (i) is abbreviate | omitted.

  2 and 3, the battery 150 is installed on the support plate 160 and supplies power to the driving unit 130 and the control unit 140 through the power connection member 170. Such a battery 150 can be inserted into a battery hole 160 b formed in the support plate 160. This is for reducing the overall thickness of the skin massage vibration module 100 and has the same concept as that of the above-described vibrator 120 being inserted into the vibrator hole 160a. Is omitted.

  The support plate 160 is provided to connect the printed circuit board 110 and the battery 150 together. Here, the support plate 160 may be formed of a flexible material in order to ensure flexibility of the skin massage vibration module 100. In addition, the battery 150 and the vibrator 120 may be mounted on both ends of the support plate 160 in the major axis direction based on the elliptical surface of the support plate 160, respectively. Therefore, the support plate 160 can have higher flexibility by exhibiting elasticity on the basis of the fact that no element is mounted on the central portion of the long axis.

  The power connection member 170 electrically connects a power terminal (not shown) of the battery 150 and a power terminal (not shown) of the driving unit 130 formed on the printed circuit board 110. In other words, the driving unit 130 receives power from the battery 150 via the power connection member 170. In addition, the power supply terminal of the printed circuit board 110 may function to supply power to the control unit 140. Accordingly, the printed circuit board 110 has a circuit pattern for connecting the power supply terminal, the driving unit 130, and the control unit 140 in parallel. It is formed.

  The insulating member 180 is attached to a contact area between the power terminal of the battery 150 and the power connection member 170. That is, the insulating member 180 is attached to the battery 150, and the electrical connection between the power terminal of the battery 150 and the power connection member 170 is cut off. When the insulating member 180 is separated from the battery 150, An electrical connection between the power connection members 170 is formed. Here, the insulating member 180 is detachably attached to the battery 150, and the electrical connection between the power supply terminal of the battery 150 and the power supply connecting member 170 is controlled by attaching / detaching the insulating member 180, and the power supply of the battery 150 to the driving unit 130 is applied. Can be intermittent.

  That is, the insulating member 180 can perform a switching operation between the power supply terminal of the battery 150 and the power supply connection member 170. At this time, the skin massage vibration module 100 does not have a separate switch structure, but the power supply of the battery 150 can be consumed only by using the switching function of the insulating member 180. In other words, the volume of the skin massage vibration module 100 can be reduced by omitting the switch, but the battery 150 can be consumed only when the vibrator 120 operates.

  In this embodiment, the insulating member 180 is formed in a thin sheet shape and is detachably attached to the battery 150 so as to block the power terminal. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, the insulating member 180 can be variously modified under the condition that the power can be applied between the power terminal of the battery 150 and the power connection member 170 while being detachable from the power terminal region of the battery 150.

  FIG. 5 is a rear view of the vibration module for skin massage according to an embodiment of the present invention. The battery hole 160b and the vibrator hole 160a in which the battery 150 and the vibrator 120 are formed in the printed circuit board 110 and the support plate 160 are illustrated. Fig. 6 illustrates the state where each is inserted and fixed. A buffer pad (not shown) can be attached to the back surface of the skin massage vibration module 100 (the back surface of the support plate). Such a buffer pad functions to prevent direct contact between the vibrator 120 and the human skin. In FIG. 5, in order to display the battery hole 160b and the vibrator hole 160a and one surface of the battery 150 and the vibrator 120 inserted and fixed thereto, the buffer pad is not shown. Further, the buffer pad can be implemented in various forms such as a nonwoven fabric or a sheet containing liquid.

  As can be seen from the embodiments of FIGS. 2 to 5 as described above, the vibration module 100 for skin massage according to the present invention has a flexible support plate 160 on the vibrator 120 and its drive unit 130 and control of the drive unit 130. Since the printed circuit board 110 provided with the portion 140 and the battery 150 are attached and integrally connected, it is possible to minimize the volume and thickness of the vibration module and ensure flexibility, and to vibrate the vibrator 120. Since the vibration of the entire vibration module can be transmitted to the human skin, the vibration can be transmitted to a relatively large human skin area compared to the size of the vibrator.

  In addition, the power supply structure of the drive unit 130 that drives the vibrator 120 includes a switching structure using a thin terminal and a sheet-type insulating member 180, and does not include a relatively complicated switch configuration including an operation unit such as a button. The power supply to the driving unit 130 of the battery 150 can be interrupted by the switching function of the insulating member 180, while simplifying the entire structure and minimizing the volume, so that the battery is consumed only when the vibrator 120 is operated. Is done.

  In addition, the control unit 140 that controls the drive unit 130 of the vibrator 120 by a pulse width modulation (PWM) method allows the vibration method of the vibrator 120 to be advanced from simple adjustment of the strength, so that various methods can be used. The vibration can provide a massage effect similar to a massage action by a human hand, such as stroking, rubbing, grabbing, pushing, and striking.

  In addition, the flexibility of the entire vibration module is ensured, and the vibration module is in close contact with the skin while smoothly bending according to the skin bending of the human body, thereby improving the vibration transmission function.

  In addition, vibration transmission is possible over the entire vibration module, and while the vibration transmission area is relatively enlarged, the total volume is relatively reduced and portability is improved.

  What has been described above is only one example for implementing the vibration module for skin massage according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described example, but the present invention as claimed in the following claims. Anyone having ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs without departing from the gist of the present invention can be said to have the technical spirit of the present invention to the extent that various modifications can be implemented.
