A code connector 1g and a display panel 1h are provided.

One of the connector 2a of the face probe 2 and the connector 3a of the body probe 3 is selectively connected to the probe connector 1b. The probe connector 1b of the instrument body 1 has six U-shaped female terminals. The connector 2a of the face probe 2 has six pin-shaped male terminals, and the connector 3a of the body probe 3 has six pin-shaped male terminals.

The connector 2a serves as a first connector or a second connector, and the connector 3a serves as a second connector or a first connector.
In the mode setting display section 1c, one of the four LEDs is turned on in accordance with one of the four modes described later. The mode switch 1d is a switch for switching between four modes. Each time the switch is pressed, the mode is sequentially shifted.

The timer setting switch 1e sets the time of pulse DC current application to the electrode cord 4 connected to the electrode cord connector 1g. Each time the switch is pressed, different times such as 20 minutes, 15 minutes, and 10 minutes are sequentially shifted and set.

A mode in which pulse DC current application (iontophoresis) and ultrasonic vibration application (sonophoresis) using the face probe 2 or the body probe 3 are performed simultaneously.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a circuit configuration of the instrument body 1 and a configuration of the face probe 2. The instrument body 1 includes a control unit 11, an ultrasonic generation unit 12, a constant current output unit 13 serving as a current output unit, a power supply unit 14, a changeover switch 15, and a volume 16.
The power supply unit 14 rectifies an AC voltage supplied from a commercial power supply and supplies the rectified AC voltage to the control unit 11, the ultrasonic generation unit 12, and the constant current output unit 13.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the face probe 2 includes a probe body 2c having a substantially cylindrical shape, a connector 2a, and a cable 2d for connecting the probe body 2c and the connector 2a. A disk-shaped electrode 2b (to be a first electrode) is disposed at the tip. In the face probe 2, the electrode 2b is electrically connected to the electrode 2f of the ultrasonic vibrator 22, and the vibration of the ultrasonic vibrator 22 causes the electrode 2b to vibrate at a frequency within a predetermined range. Here, the entire shape of the face probe 2 is formed such that the resonance frequency of the ultrasonic transducer 22 is in the range of 20 kHz to 25 kHz, for example, 23 kHz. On the other hand, the electrode 2b is formed of stainless steel so as not to be changed by sweat or the like. A switch 21 is disposed on the side of the face probe 2, and when the switch 21 is pressed, the control unit 11 controls the ultrasonic wave generating unit 12 to start applying ultrasonic waves.

  The face probe 2 has a cable 2d connected to the probe main body 2c such that the wirings L1 and L2 extend from both electrodes 2e and 2f of the ultrasonic transducer 22 so that the ultrasonic transducer 22 can be driven by the ultrasonic generating unit 12. Is connected, and the connector 2a connected to the cable 2d is connected to the probe connector 1b. The wires L1 and L2 from the probe connector 1b are connected to the ultrasonic wave generating unit 12 of the instrument body 1.

  The changeover switch 15 can connect the output of the constant current output unit 13 to either the wiring L2 or the electrode cord connector 1g by a pulse output switching signal (third output control signal) from the control unit 11. When the output of the constant current output unit 13 is connected to the wiring L2, the output current from the constant current output unit 13 flows to the electrode 2b via the electrode 2f. The volume 16 controls audio output.

  When the output of the constant current output unit 13 is connected to the electrode cord connector 1g side, a DC voltage can be intermittently or continuously applied between the electrode 5 and the five polarization cord 6. Thus, the cosmetic device applies the serum to the part to be treated, grips the electrode 5, and then applies an electric field to the part to be treated by using the clips 6b to 6e and the roller 6f to efficiently apply the serum. It is made to be able to penetrate the skin. Here, the DC voltage is applied intermittently or continuously, but an AC voltage may be applied.

  Alternatively, when the output of the constant current output unit 13 is connected to the wiring L2 instead, a DC voltage can be intermittently or continuously applied between the electrode 5 and the electrode 2b of the face probe 2. This makes it possible to simultaneously apply an electric field while applying ultrasonic vibration to the part to be treated, and when only the ultrasonic vibration is used, it is much more effective than when only the electric field is applied. It is designed to efficiently and efficiently penetrate the serum into the skin. In this embodiment, a jelly-like liquid containing vitamin is applied as the serum.

The body probe 3 shown in FIG. 1 also has a configuration similar to that of the face probe 2, and has a probe body 3c having a disk-shaped electrode 3b which is larger than the electrode 2 and has a bulged central portion, and a connector 3a. It is composed of a cable 3d for connecting the probe main body 3c and the connector 3a. A switch 31 is disposed on the side of the body probe 3 as in the case of the face probe 2, and when the switch 31 is pressed, application of ultrasonic waves is started. The entire shape of the body probe 3 is formed such that the resonance frequency of the ultrasonic transducer provided in the body probe 3 is in the range of 20 kHz to 25 kHz, for example, 23 kHz. The resonance frequency of the ultrasonic transducers of the face probe 2 and the body probe 3 is desirably set within a range of 20 kHz to 25 kHz, but may be set to a frequency larger than this range if necessary. The resonance frequencies of the ultrasonic transducers of the face probe 2 and the body probe 3 may be the same or different. The resonance frequency of the ultrasonic transducer of the face probe 2 may be lower or higher than the resonance frequency of the ultrasonic transducer of the body probe 3.
The ultrasonic generating unit 12 drives the ultrasonic vibrator of the face probe 2 at a resonance frequency within a range of 20 kHz to 25 kHz (for example, 23 kHz), and drives the ultrasonic vibrator of the body probe 3 with a resonance frequency of 23 kHz. A drive unit that vibrates at a frequency in the range of 20 kHz to 25 kHz (for example, 23 kHz). These driving units will be described later with reference to FIG.

By pressing the electrode 2b of the face probe 2 or the electrode 3b of the body probe 3 on the part to be treated, the serum applied in advance to the part to be treated is efficiently subjected to the ultrasonic vibration of the electrode 2b or the electrode 3b of the body probe 3. Can penetrate the skin.
When one of the connector 2a of the face probe 2 and the connector 3a of the body probe 3 is selectively connected to the probe connector 1b, the control unit 11 determines which of the face probe and the body probe 3 is connected. Is detected, and the driving unit (either the face driving unit or the body driving unit) of the ultrasonic generation unit 12 is switched based on the detection result.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a method for detecting which of the face probe 2 and the body probe 3 is connected. FIGS. 5A to 5C are cross-sectional views showing the difference between the connector of the face probe 2 and the connector of the body probe 3. In FIG. 5, the six male terminals of the face probe and the body probe and the six female terminals of the probe connector are arranged in a line for easy understanding, but are actually arranged in a circle. The control unit 11 calculates the difference between the potential of one terminal of the plurality of terminals of the connector 2a of the face probe 2 and the potential of the terminal of the connector 3a of the body probe 3 in the same arrangement as the arrangement of the terminals. It is possible to detect whether the connector 2a is connected or the connector 3a is connected. The probe detection method described below is an example of the detection method, and is not particularly limited to these methods. For example, if there are two or more unused unused terminals, if the unused terminals of the face probe 2 are connected and the unused terminals of the body probe 3 are opened, the connector 2a of the face probe 2 is connected. It is possible to detect whether the connector 3a of the body probe 3 is connected.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the male terminal T1 of the connector 2a of the face probe 2 is connected to a fixed voltage (here, ground) to have a fixed potential, and as shown in FIG. The male terminal T1 of the third connector 3a is floating. The male terminal T1 of the connector 3a of the body probe 3 may be set to another potential (fixed potential) different from the ground potential as long as the difference from the ground potential can be detected. A power supply is connected to one end of the resistor, a voltage V is applied to one end, and the other end of the resistor is connected to the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b. When the connector 2a of the face probe 2 is connected to the probe connector 1b, the potential of the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b becomes almost the ground potential due to the voltage drop due to the resistance. On the other hand, when the connector 3a of the body probe 3 is connected to the probe connector 1b, the potential of the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b becomes almost the voltage V.

  In step S101 in FIG. 4, when the connector 2a of the face probe 2 or the connector 3a of the body probe 3 is connected to the probe connector 1b, the control unit 11 sets the potential of the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b to the ground potential or the potential V. Then, the type of the connected probe is detected.

  In step S102, if the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b is at the ground potential, it is determined that the face probe 2 is connected (step S102: face probe). If the potential is V, the body probe 3 is connected. It is determined (step S102: body probe). If it is determined that the face probe 2 is connected, the ultrasonic wave generating unit 12 switches to the face driving unit based on an instruction from the control unit 11 in step S104. If it is determined that the body probe 3 is connected, the ultrasonic wave generating unit 12 switches to the body driving unit based on an instruction from the control unit 11 in step S105. Thereafter, the control unit 11 selects a mode based on the mode selection signal from the mode changeover switch 1d, and controls the ultrasonic wave generation unit 12, the constant current output unit 13, and the changeover switch 15.

  If the two female terminals P1 and P2 of the probe connector 1b are used, the probe connector 1b determines whether one of the connector of the face probe 2 and the connector of the body probe 3 is connected, and which one is connected. Or both can be detected. As shown in FIG. 5C, the male terminals T1 and T2 of the connector 3a of the body probe 3 are connected to the ground. As shown in FIG. 5A, the male terminal T1 of the connector 2a of the face probe 2 is connected to the ground. Then, when the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b is at the ground potential, one of the connectors of the face probe 2 and the body probe 3 is connected to the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b. Can be detected. Furthermore, if only the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b is at the ground potential, it is determined that the face probe 2 is connected to the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b, and both the female terminals P1 and P2 of the probe connector 1b are at the ground potential. If so, it can be determined that the body probe 3 is connected to the female terminal P1 of the probe connector 1b.

  As described above, the control unit 11 determines whether one of the connector of the face probe 2 and the connector of the body probe 3 is connected to the connector of the probe connector 1b, and / or the face of the connector of the probe connector 1b. It is possible to detect which of the connector of the probe 2 and the connector of the body probe 3 is connected.

  As a result, the control unit 11 determines that both the face probe 2 and the body probe 3 are in spite of the fact that the first, third, or fourth mode is selected by the mode changeover switch 1d based on the detection result. It is possible to warn that the connection is not established. Further, the control unit 11 can detect which of the face probe 2 and the body probe 3 is connected, and can switch to the drive unit according to the type of the probe by the ultrasonic wave generation unit 12.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the first to fourth mode selection operations.
In step S201, the control unit 11 receives a mode selection signal from the mode switch 1d. Next, in step S202, the control unit 11 determines whether the mode selection signal is the first mode.

  When the control unit 11 determines that the mode is the first mode in step S202, the control unit 11 switches the output of the constant current output unit 13 to the probe side (the wiring L2 side) by the changeover switch 15 in step S203. Next, in step S204, the control unit 11 operates the ultrasonic wave generation unit 12 and the constant current output unit 13.

  If the control unit 11 determines in step S202 that the current mode is not the first mode, the control unit 11 switches the output of the constant current output unit 13 to the power cord side (electrode cord connector 1g side) by the changeover switch 15 in step S205. Switch to. Next, in step S206, the control unit 11 determines whether the mode selection signal is the fourth mode.

  When the control unit 11 determines in the step S206 that the mode is the fourth mode, the control unit 11 operates the ultrasonic generating unit 12 and the constant current output unit 13 in a step S207.

When the control unit 11 determines that the mode is not the fourth mode in step S206, the control unit 11 determines whether the mode selection signal is the third mode in step S208. If the control unit 11 determines that the current mode is not the third mode in step S206, the control unit 11 operates the constant current output unit 13 in step S209. If the control unit 11 determines that the mode is the third mode in step S206, the control unit 11 operates the ultrasonic wave generation unit 12 in step S210.
As described above, the control unit controls the ultrasonic wave generating unit 12, the constant current output unit 13, and the changeover switch 15 by the mode selection signal from the mode changeover switch 1d, and automatically sets the first to fourth modes. Either can be selected.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the control unit. As shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 11 serving as a control unit includes a microcomputer (hereinafter, referred to as a microcomputer) 111, an LED 112, a 7-segment LED 113, a current display unit 114, and a voltage control unit 115.

The current display unit 114 displays a current value flowing through the face probe 2 and the body probe 3 in mode 1 and a current value flowing through the 5-polarization code in mode 2 or mode 4. The current display unit 114 displays the current value in a bar length using an LED array or the like. The display may be performed by replacing the LED 112, the 7-segment LED 113, the current display unit 114, and the display panel 1h with a liquid crystal display panel.

  The microcomputer 111 includes a CPU, a ROM storing a control program, a RAM storing data for arithmetic processing of the CPU, and the like. The microcomputer 111 receives a mode selection signal from the mode switch 1d on the front panel of the instrument body 1, a timer setting signal from the timer setting switch 1e, and a level signal from the ion level dial 1f. Further, the microcomputer 111 receives from the constant current output unit 13 an output current detection signal indicating a current value flowing through the face probe 2 and the body probe 3 in mode 1 and a current value flowing through the 5-polarization code in mode 2 or mode 4. Further, it receives a temperature detection signal from the ultrasonic generation unit 12.

  The microcomputer 111 determines which one of the connector 2a of the face probe 2 and the connector 3a of the body probe 3 is added to the probe connector 1b described with reference to steps S101 and S102 of FIG. 4 and FIGS. 5 (A) to 5 (C). The processing for detecting whether or not the connection is performed is performed according to a program that describes the processing. Then, in order to perform the operation in step S103 or step S104 in FIG. 4, the first output control signal (FACE / BODY) for instructing the face driving unit or the body driving unit is output to the ultrasonic wave generating unit 12.

Further, the microcomputer 111 outputs a second output control signal (ON / OFF) to the ultrasonic generation unit 12 for turning on and off the operation of the ultrasonic generation unit 12. When the mode selection signal is mode 1, mode 3, or mode 4, the microcomputer 111 outputs a second output control signal (ON) to the ultrasonic generation unit 12 to turn on the ultrasonic generation unit 12. I do. When the mode selection signal is mode 2 or when the microcomputer 111 detects that the temperature of the ultrasonic wave generating unit 12 has risen to a certain temperature or higher from the temperature detection signal, the microcomputer 111 transmits the ultrasonic wave to the ultrasonic wave generating unit 12. A second output control signal (OFF) for turning off the generation unit 12 is output.

As shown in FIG. 8, the ultrasonic generation unit 12 includes a voltage control unit 121, a drive amplifier 122, a transformer 123, a final amplifier 124, a transformer 125, a filter 126, a switch 127, a phase shift converter 128, and a phase shift converter. 129, a switch 130, and a temperature detector 131. The voltage control unit 121, the drive amplifier 122, the transformer 123, the final amplifier 124, the transformer 125, the filter 126, and the phase shift converter 128 constitute a face drive unit (to be a first drive unit). The voltage control unit 121, the drive amplifier 122, the transformer 123, the final amplifier 124, the transformer 125, the filter 126, and the phase shift converter 129 constitute a body drive unit (to be a second drive unit). In the phase shift converter 128, when the connector 2a of the face probe 2 is connected to the probe connector 1b, the ultrasonic transducer of the face probe 2 has a resonance frequency within a range of 20 kHz to 25 kHz (for example, 23 kHz). Thus, the circuit elements are adjusted. Further, when the connector 3a of the body probe 3 is connected to the probe connector 1b, the phase shift converter 129 causes the ultrasonic vibrator of the body probe 3 to have a resonance frequency within a range of 20 kHz to 25 kHz (for example, 23 kHz). The circuit elements are adjusted so that
The voltage control unit 121 controls a voltage applied to the transformer 125 based on a first output control signal (FACE / BODY). In response to the first output control signal (FACE / BODY), switches 127 and 130 such as switches switch to one of phase shift converter 128 and phase shift converter 129. Thus, it is possible to switch between the face driving unit and the body driving unit. When switching between the phase shift converter 128 and the phase shift converter 129, the voltage control unit 121 may switch the voltage applied to the transformer 125 depending on whether it is for a face or a body. Further, only the voltage applied to the transformer 125 may be switched. Such switching of the voltage is also included in the switching of the driving unit.

The second output signal (ON / OFF) is input to the drive amplifier 122, and the drive amplifier 122 controls the output from the transformer 123. The output of the transformer 123 is input to the transformer 125 via the final amplifier 124, and the oscillation output is output via the filter 126 so as to have a frequency within a predetermined range. With this oscillation output, the ultrasonic transducer of the face probe 2 or the body probe 3 is operated. The output of the filter 126 is input to the switch 127, and is input to the drive amplifier 122 via the phase shift converter 128 or the phase shift converter 129.
The temperature detector 131 outputs a temperature detection signal to the control unit 11.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing one configuration example of the constant current output unit. As shown in FIG. 9, the constant current output unit 13 includes a voltage control unit 136, a drive amplifier 132, a final amplifier 124, a filter 134, and a polarity switch 135.
The voltage control section 136 controls the voltage supplied to the final amplifier 133 based on the fourth output control signal from the control unit. The fourth output control signal controls the voltage control unit 136 based on the current value of the pulse DC current set by the ion level dial 1f, and controls the voltage supplied to the final amplifier 133.

The pulse signal from the control unit 11 is input to the drive amplifier 132, and a pulse DC voltage is output via the final amplifier 133, the filter 134, and the polarity switch 135.
Based on the pulse signal, the drive amplifier 132 and the final amplifier 133 intermittently raise the output voltage based on the DC voltage. At this time, the output voltage is raised so that the average value or the peak value of the output current becomes a constant reference current value. The polarity switch 135 switches the polarity of the output voltage based on the output polarity switching signal. When the polarity of the output voltage is switched, the direction of the electric field applied to the portion to be treated can be switched. Therefore, the polarity can be set according to the active ingredient of the serum that is to be absorbed by the skin, thereby improving the absorption efficiency of the serum as compared to the case where an electric field is simply applied with one-way polarity. Can be done.
