Hereinafter, an embodiment of a cosmetic device will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cosmetic device 11 of this embodiment has a substantially heart-shaped flat shape as a whole. The main body 12 of the cosmetic device 11 is made of a synthetic resin, and a substantially heart-shaped first electrode 13 (see FIG. 1) that is similar to the outer shape of the main body 12 is fixed to one side surface thereof. As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, the cover plate 125 forming the other side surface of the main body 12 is configured to be detachable by engagement of a claw (not shown) with a part of the main body frame (not shown).

  The main body 12 is provided with a first edge 121 as one edge and a second edge 122 as another edge adjacent to the first edge 121. The first edge portion 121 has a loose concave curved shape along the longitudinal direction of the main body 12. The second edge portion 122 is configured by arranging a plurality of (two in the embodiment) convex curved portions 123 side by side. Each convex curved portion 123 of the second edge portion 122 is formed shorter than the first edge portion 121, and the curvature thereof is larger than the curvature of the first edge portion 121. A space between the convex curved portions 123 is narrow, and a concave curved portion 124 having a large curvature is formed between the convex convex portions 123.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first edge 121 has a shape substantially along the cheek curve of the human skin, and in this embodiment, a part of the first edge 121 (more specifically, The taper side of the lamp 19 described later) constitutes a second electrode 14 having a narrow strip shape. The portion of the first edge 121 closer to the second edge 122 than the lamp 19 and the entire second edge 122 connected to the first edge 121 constitute the third electrode 15. Although described later in detail, a potential difference is formed between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 and between the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 15.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 12 houses a microcomputer or the like constituting the control unit 17 and the like mounted on a circuit board 18. A battery 16 as a power source is detachably accommodated in the main body 12. The battery 16 can be replaced by opening the lid plate 125.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 17 includes an ion introduction mode in which a current of one polarity is basically passed between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 via the driver 171, and the first electrode 13 and the first electrode 13. It is configured to execute a weak current mode in which a current whose polarity is alternately switched between the three electrodes 15 is passed. However, in the iontophoresis mode, every time a predetermined number (for example, 10 to 30 times) of one polarity (minus) pulse current is supplied, a predetermined number (for example, 1 to 3 times) of the other polarity pulse current is supplied. Supplied.

  Further, the main body 12 has the lamp 19 made of a light emitting diode (LED) mounted on the exterior thereof, and has vibrators 20 and 21 incorporated therein. The lamp 19 is disposed at a position between the first edge 121 and the second edge 122. The lamp 19 lights and displays the energized state between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 and the energized state between the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 15 in different colors. Further, one vibrator 20 is disposed in the vicinity of the second electrode 14, and the other vibrator 21 is disposed in the vicinity of the third electrode 15. These vibrators 20 and 21 are made of a motor having an eccentric weight.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 17 is connected to the battery 16, the lamp 19, and the vibrators 20 and 21, and is connected to the electrodes 13, 14, and 15 via the driver 171 and the detection unit 172. Yes. The control unit 17 is configured to be operable to control these units. The driver 171 has a function of supplying a current between the electrodes 13, 14, 15, a function of taking in a current flowing from the first electrode 13 to the human body, and returning the current to the negative electrode of the battery 16.

  The driver 171 includes a constant current circuit that maintains a constant current between the electrodes. Between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14, a current value for ion introduction, the first electrode 13 and the third electrode. 15 is configured so that a current value for weak current can be set. Furthermore, the driver 171 has a function of controlling on / off and polarity of current supplied between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 and between the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 15.

  The driver 171 of this example has a function of changing the operation of the cosmetic device 11 according to the contact state between the first electrode 13, the second electrode 14, and the third electrode 15 and the human body. That is, the driver 171 of this example performs beauty treatment so as to execute the iontophoresis mode (including reset pulse) shown in FIG. 7 when both the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are in contact with the human body. The operation of the device 11 is controlled. Similarly, when both the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 15 are in contact with the human body, the controller 17 and the driver 171 operate the cosmetic device 11 to execute the weak current mode shown in FIG. To control. On the other hand, when at least one of the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 or at least one of the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 15 is not in contact with the human body, the control unit 17 and the driver 171 Is not touched, and the operation of the cosmetic device 11 is controlled to stop. The contact state with the human body is determined based on whether the detection signal output from the first electrode 13 is input to the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15. That is, if one part of the human body (for example, the finger of the hand) is in contact with the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15 is in contact with another part of the human body (for example, the cheek), the human body is interposed. Thus, a closed circuit (external circuit) is formed, and the detection signal is inputted to the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15 in a weak state. If the human body is not in contact with the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15, the detection signal is not input to the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15. The detection unit 172 detects whether the detection signal is input to the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15, and the control unit 17 and the driver 171 control the operation of the cosmetic device 11.

In addition, when all of the 1st electrode 13, and the 2nd electrode 14 and the 3rd electrode 15 contacted the human body, control which judges that the 1st electrode 13 and the 2nd electrode 14 contacted the human body is made. The
In addition, when it is determined that the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 or the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 15 are in contact with the human body, the control unit 17 determines the lamp 19 and the corresponding vibrators 20 and 21. Is configured to output a drive signal for driving the.

Next, the operation of the cosmetic device configured as described above will be described with reference to a flowchart including steps S1 to S10 (hereinafter, “step” is omitted) in FIG.
In a standby state in which the cosmetic device 11 is not used, the control unit 17 and the driver 171 supply a pulse current between the first electrode 13, the second electrode 14, and the third electrode 15 for human body detection. . In this standby state, the pulse current for detection is not continuous but is supplied at regular time intervals, so the low power consumption mode is set (S1), and wasteful consumption of power is avoided. Thereby, the skin detection operation | movement which the detection part 172 detects whether the detection signal based on the said pulse current for the said detection was input into the 2nd electrode 14 or the 3rd electrode 15 and detects a human body skin is started ( S2).

  When massaging a wide part of the human body skin S, such as the cheek C or the forehead of the face, using this cosmetic device 11, before using the cosmetic device 11, the user must have a negatively charged cosmetic component in advance. Apply to the skin. In this example, L-ascorbic acid-2-sodium phosphate is used as the cosmetic component. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4, when the main body 12 is gripped from the edge opposite to the first edge 121 and the second edge 122, the finger F comes into contact with the first electrode 13. In this state, by moving the first edge 121 curved in a concave shape on the main body 12 along the skin surface while contacting the cheek C or the like, the cheek C or the like is moved by the concave curved surface of the first edge 121. It can be physically massaged to improve blood flow and improve lymph flow.

  At this time, since the second electrode 14 provided on the first edge 121 is brought into contact with the cheek C or the like, the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 can be energized via the human body. . As a result, the detection unit 172 of the driver 171 detects that the detection signal has been input to the second electrode 14, and the skin is detected (S3). Since the detection signal is input to the second electrode 14 (S4), the negative pulse current shown in FIG. 7 is supplied between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 by the driver 171. The ion introduction mode is started (S5).

  If a skin lotion or the like containing a negatively charged cosmetic component is applied to the cheek C or the like in advance, the cosmetic component and the pulse wave from the cosmetic device 11 repel each other, and the skin such as the cheek C or the like. It becomes easy to penetrate into S. Thus, not only a physical massage by the beauty device 11 but also a synergistic beauty effect such as promoting the penetration of beauty components into the skin at the same time can be expected.

  Since the second electrode 14 is long and gently curved in a concave shape, the entire second electrode 14 can be brought into contact with the cheek C or the like to massage a wide range simultaneously. Therefore, it is possible to massage easily in a short time.

  While a negative pulse current is supplied between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14, the lamp 19 is lit in a predetermined color (for example, blue), and between the electrodes 13 and 14. Is in a state of being energized (energized state). At the same time, the vibrator 20 on the first edge 121 side in the main body 12 is actuated, and it is informed by vibration that the electrodes 13 and 14 are energized (S5). For this reason, it can be appropriately confirmed by the lighting display of the lamp 19 and the vibration notification of the vibrator 20 that the electrodes 13 and 14 are energized. When the second electrode 14 on the first edge 121 of the main body 12 is separated from the cheek C or the like, the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are not energized (non-energized state). Thus, the supply of the pulse current between the electrodes 13 and 14 is stopped, and the operations of the lamp 19 and the vibrator 20 are stopped (S6, S7).

  Next, in the case of using this cosmetic device 11 to massage a narrow pointed portion of the human skin S, for example, the chin J or the nose of the face, the first provided on the main body 12 as described above. The main body 12 is gripped so that the finger F is brought into contact with the electrode 13. In this state, as shown in FIG. 5, the second edge 122 on the main body 12 is placed against the jaw J or the like so that the pair of adjacent convex curved portions 123 sandwich the portion such as the jaw J from the front or the back. Make contact. Thereafter, when the main body 12 is moved backward along the jaw J or the like, the biconvex curved portion 123 of the second edge portion 122 physically massages the portion such as the jaw J.

  At this time, the third electrode 15 on the second edge 122 is brought into contact with the jaw J and the like, and the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 15 can be energized via the human body. As a result, the detection unit 172 of the driver 171 detects that the detection signal has been input to the third electrode 15, and the skin is detected (S3). Since the detection signal is input not to the second electrode 14 but to the third electrode 15 (S4), the weak current mode shown in FIG. 8 between the electrodes 13 and 15 is controlled by the control unit 17 and the driver 171. Is started (S8). In this weak current mode, as shown in FIG. 8, a pulse current having a rectangular wave in which positive polarity and negative polarity are alternately switched is supplied. While giving this weak electric current, moving the main body 12 along the line of the jaw J between a pair of adjacent convex curved portions 123 and massaging, compared with the case of simply massaging, Synergistic effects such as activation can be expected.

  In this case, since both sides of the concave curved portion 124 protrude from the third electrode 15, even if the third electrode 15 is a sharp portion such as the jaw J, the third electrode 15 is detached from the same portion or slips down. And can be massaged stably.

  Further, when a pulse current is supplied between the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 15, the lamp 19 is lit in a different color (for example, pink) from the above case, The energized state is displayed. At the same time, the vibrator 21 on the second edge 122 side in the main body 12 is activated, and the energization state between the electrodes 13 and 15 is notified by vibration. For this reason, the energization state between the electrodes 13 and 15 can be appropriately confirmed by the lighting display of the lamp 19 and the vibration notification of the vibrator 21. And when the 3rd electrode 15 formed in the 2nd edge 122 is spaced apart from the jaw J etc., between the 1st electrode 13 and the 3rd electrode 15 will be in a non-energized state, both electrodes 13 and 15 The supply of the pulse current between them is stopped (S9, S10).

On the contrary, it is also possible to massage a narrow part such as the jaw J with the second electrode 14 and a wide part such as the cheek C with the third electrode 15.
Therefore, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  (1) The 1st electrode 13 is provided in the side surface of the main body 12 which can be hold | gripped. The other part of the main body 12 is provided with an edge 121 that is gently concavely curved. The edge 121 is provided with a long second electrode 14 that can contact the human skin S and that forms a potential difference with the first electrode 13.

For this reason, in the cosmetic device 11, the edge 121 curved in a concave shape is formed on the cheek in the human body skin S with the main body 12 held so that the finger F is brought into contact with the first electrode 13 provided on the main body 12. By moving while contacting a wide part such as C, a wide part such as cheek C can be massaged in a short time. At this time, an ion introduction mode mainly including a negative pulse wave is performed between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14. If a cosmetic component negatively charged in advance is applied to the treatment part such as the cheek C, not only a physical massage effect by the cosmetic device 11 but also a penetration effect of the cosmetic component by a so-called ion introduction method can be expected.
(2) When the cosmetic device 11 determines that both the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 (or the third electrode 15) are in contact with the human body, the iontophoresis mode (or the weak current mode) Means for initiating Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the cosmetic device 1 with a switch for switching between operation and stop of the ion introduction mode (or weak current mode).

  For this reason, it is not necessary for the user to operate the switch, and it is easy to use. Moreover, the fact that it is not necessary to dispose a switch in the cosmetic device 1 can be expected to have a secondary effect such as an effect of reducing the number of parts and maintaining an aesthetic appearance.

  (3) A second edge 122 that is curved with a large curvature different from that of the edge 121 is juxtaposed in the other part of the main body 12. The second edge 122 is provided with a third electrode 15 that can contact the human skin S and that forms a potential difference with the first electrode 13.

  For this reason, it is possible to obtain a massage effect suitable for massaging a narrow portion of the human skin S such as the jaw J that is different from the cheek C. In particular, since the third electrode 15 protrudes on both sides of the concave curved portion 124, the third electrode 15 does not come off from the same portion or slide down even in a sharp portion such as the jaw J, A stable massage can be performed.

(4) The main body 12 is formed in a flat shape, and the first electrode 13 is provided on a side surface of the main body 12.
For this reason, the finger F can be naturally brought into contact with the first electrode 13 when the body 12 is gripped when the cosmetic device 11 is used. Further, when the cosmetic device 11 is not used, if the main body 12 is placed on a desk or the like so that the first electrode 13 is on the upper side, the first electrode 13 is provided on the edges 121 and 122 of the main body 12. The possibility of short-circuiting with the second electrode 14 and the third electrode 15 can be minimized.

  (5) The main body 12 is provided with a lamp 19 for displaying a current-carrying state between the first electrode 13, the second electrode 14, and the third electrode 15. For this reason, it is possible to easily confirm the energization state between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15 by the lighting display of the lamp 19.

(6) Vibrators 20 and 21 for notifying the energization state between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15 are provided on the main body 12.
For this reason, the energization state between the electrodes 13, 14, and 15 is easily confirmed through the feel of the gripped hand by the notification operation of the vibrators 20 and 21. In addition, due to vibrations generated from the vibrators 20 and 21, the contact portions between the electrodes 14 and 15 and the skin and the peripheral portions thereof have an effect of improving lymphatic flow, promoting blood circulation, improving metabolism, and the like. May be obtained. As a result, the cosmetic device 1 can further improve the beauty effects that can be experienced.

(Example of change)
In addition, this embodiment can also be changed and embodied as follows.
-Do not provide the third electrode 15.
The weak current mode is applied from the second electrode 14 and the ion introduction mode is applied from the third electrode 15. Alternatively, the pulse waves applied from the second electrode 14 and the third electrode 15 are both provided with an iontophoresis mode, and vice versa.
The second electrode 14 is provided at the position of the third electrode 15 (second edge 122), and the third electrode 15 is not provided.
In addition to the above, change the mode to be applied to the second electrode 14 and / or the third electrode 15. For example, an ion derivation mode in which a current flow is caused to flow from the second electrode 14 or the third electrode 15 and the charged dirt or waste existing in the skin is moved to the skin surface due to a potential difference and removed. Any EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) mode for applying a frequency pulse may be used as long as a beauty effect can be expected by electrical stimulation.
-Change the shape of the main body 12. For example, the main body 12 is formed in a crescent shape having a concave curved edge and a convex curved edge, and a second electrode is provided on one edge and a third electrode is provided on the other edge.
-Although the cosmetic device 1 of this example has a function of detecting contact between the electrode and the skin as an additional function, even if the cosmetic device does not have these functions, the current waveform for energizing the skin is controlled. Needless to say, the improvement of the beauty effect can be expected.
