Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applied to hairdressing and beauty treatments, in which infrared rays are irradiated toward the hair for drying during hair washing, acceleration during hair dyeing, permanent hair, waving, etc. The present invention relates to a hair treatment accelerator that heats hair.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of hair treatment accelerating device using infrared rays, a heating wire such as a nichrome wire that generates heat when energized is housed in a tube made of quartz glass, ceramic, etc., and the heat generated causes infrared rays to be emitted from the tube. By applying this infrared rays to the hair, hair treatment is promoted.

The elongated tubular body (hereinafter referred to as the heater) that irradiates the infrared rays is formed in a straight line, and a reflector with an arcuate cross section is attached to the back of the heater in order to improve the irradiation efficiency of the infrared rays.

In addition, multiple infrared tubes are installed on the side of the head, on the top of the head, on the bottom back of the head, etc. so that infrared rays are evenly irradiated over the entire surface of the hair, including the sides, the back of the head, and the top of the head. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In such a hair treatment promoting device, a large number of infrared tubes are installed so as to surround the hair, so the installation volume is large, and there may not be enough space to install it in a small hair salon.

Furthermore, since the heater is formed in a straight line even though the whole surface of the hair has a curved surface, there are parts of the infrared tube close to the hair and parts far from the hair, which causes the intensity of the infrared rays to be irradiated to the hair and changes the temperature. The distribution is no longer uniform.

Therefore, in areas where the temperature rises significantly, the subject becomes unable to withstand the heat, and there is a drawback that treatment cannot be promoted uniformly on all hair in a short period of time.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional hair treatment promoting device using infrared irradiation, the present invention has the following features:
By rotating the heater around the center of rotation of the rotating body, it is possible to irradiate a large area with infrared rays compared to the size of the heater, making it possible to make it more compact. The purpose is to achieve uniform irradiation by increasing the amount of infrared radiation in the portion of the heater corresponding to the portion where the irradiation time is short.

The means includes a rotary body that is rotatably supported on a shaft and rotated by a driving means, and is attached obliquely to the rotary body along the top, rear, and both sides of the object to be irradiated, and infrared rays. A hair treatment promoting device comprising: a reflector that reflects the infrared rays toward the irradiated object; and a heater attached to the reflector that increases the amount of infrared rays emitted as the distance from the center of rotation of the rotating body increases. .

[Effect]

The hair treatment promoting device of the present invention rotates the rotating body using the driving means, rotates the heater and the reflector around the rotation center, and irradiates infrared rays over a wider range than the size of the heater.

As the heater and reflector rotate due to this rotation, the amount of infrared rays radiated is increased in areas away from the rotation center of the heater, where the irradiation time of infrared rays is shortened, promoting uniform infrared processing. be able to do so.

〔Example〕

Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an elevating rod that is raised and lowered according to the height of the patient's head, and a main body case 2 is fixed to the upper end of the elevating rod.

Inside the main body case 2, a motor 3, a reduction gear 4 driven by the motor 3, a transmission gear 5 that meshes with the reduction gear 4, and a transmission gear 5 that meshes with the transmission gear 5 and are supported on the main body case 2. A gear 7, etc., which is loosely fitted into the hollow shaft 6, is accommodated.

A magnet 8 is fixed to this gear 7, and a magnet 9 is also fixed to the hollow shaft 6 opposite to this magnet 8.

Therefore, when the motor 3 rotates, its rotation is decelerated and transmitted from the reduction gear 4 to the gear 7 via the transmission gear 5, and the hollow shaft 6 is driven and rotated by the attraction force of the magnets 8 and 9. However, when a force is applied to the hollow shaft 6 to prevent its rotation, the magnet 9 slips against the magnet 8 against the attraction force of the magnets 8 and 9, and the rotation to the hollow shaft 6 is not transmitted. It will no longer be done.

Note that the rotation of the motor 3 described above is controlled by each gear 4,
5 and 7, and the deceleration is transmitted to the hollow shaft 6. However, this deceleration means is not limited to gear coupling, and worm gear deceleration or belt deceleration can also be applied, and the rotation is uniform. The direction is not limited, and reciprocating rotation may be used.

In addition, although a slip clutch was shown in which the transmission between the gear 7 and the hollow shaft 6 is carried out using the adhesion force of two magnets 8 and 9, this slip clutch is also a slip clutch that uses the spring force of a spring. Alternatively, a slip belt may be used.

A fixed side power feeder 10 and a rotating side power feeder 11 are attached to the hollow shaft 6, and wiring from a power source is connected to the fixed side power feeder 10, so that even if the hollow shaft 6 rotates, the fixed side power feeder 10 is connected to the fixed side power feeder 10. does not rotate.

The rotating power supply 11 rotates together with the hollow shaft 6, and is configured to be able to receive power from a power source connected to the fixed power supply 10.

Further, a rotating bracket 12 is fixed to the hollow shaft 6 so as to cover the fixed side power supply 10 and the rotating side power supply 11, and a reflector 15 supporting a ring-shaped heater 14 is attached to the arm 13 of the rotary bracket 12. It is installed so that the installation angle can be changed.

This heater 14 has a heating wire 16 such as a nichrome wire housed in an elongated tube made of quartz glass, ceramic, etc., and is connected to the rotation side power supply 11.

By applying electricity to this heating wire 16 and heating it, the slender tube made of quartz glass or ceramic becomes red hot and emits infrared rays and far infrared rays.Furthermore, this infrared ray is reflected by the reflector 15, and the infrared rays are reflected in the opposite direction from the reflector 15. It is designed to irradiate concentratedly towards the surface.

Therefore, the reflective surface 15a of the reflector 15 is
The heating wire 16, which has an arcuate surface as shown in the figure, and which is housed in the heater 14, has a loosely wound portion and a densely wound portion as shown in FIG. 3, and this loosely wound portion is rotated. The closely wound portion close to the bracket 12 is supported by a reflector 15 at a distance from the rotating bracket 12.

In addition, in the embodiment described above, the heater 14
We have explained about a device that creates density and temperature differences between the hair, but it is also possible to divide a uniform heater into multiple parts and control the on/off of each heater to process the hair (drying, perm progress, etc.). You can also do it.

Further, a non-contact thermometer 17 is attached to the surface of the main body case 2 on the side of the heater 14, which measures the temperature of the heated object based on the amount of infrared rays emitted from the surface of the heated object.

Next, the method of use and operation of this hair treatment accelerator will be explained.

First, the lifting rod 1 is set by moving it up and down so that the heater 14 is at the height shown in FIG.

Then, as described above, the rotation of the motor 3 is transmitted to the hollow shaft 6 at a reduced speed, and the heater 14 and reflector 15 perform an eccentric rotational movement about the hollow shaft 6, so that the position of the solid line in FIG. It rotates from the position shown by the imaginary line to return to the position shown by the solid line.

During this time, the heater 14 is energized to emit infrared rays toward the hair, and when it is at the position of the solid line in FIG. This means that the range from ~E will be heated.

Therefore, the range B to E is constantly heated, but the ranges D to B and E to C are heated or unheated depending on the rotation of the heater 14.
- The temperature rise is lower than in E.

Therefore, in order to make the temperature rise uniform over the entire area, it is necessary to irradiate the infrared rays weakly in the areas B to E and strongly in the areas C and D.
As shown in FIG. 3, the heating wire 16 is wound tightly and loosely so that the temperature of the entire hair is uniformly increased.

In addition, since the heater 14 irradiates infrared rays while rotating in this way, even parts of the hair that are not irradiated with infrared rays because the heater 14 is in the shadow at a certain position are irradiated by the movement of the heater 14. This makes it possible to irradiate infrared rays evenly.

Since the temperature of the hair is measured with the non-contact thermometer 17, the recipient does not suffer from pain due to fixation of the head, and damage to the hair due to excessive heating can be prevented.

In addition, it is also possible to detect a movement in the position of the patient's head due to a sudden rise or fall in temperature, and in this case, the patient is notified of this by flashing lights, buzzers, etc. It is also possible to instruct the patient to return the head position.

Furthermore, when the rotation load increases, such as when the heater 14 and reflector 15 come into contact with a wall during rotation, a slip phenomenon occurs between the magnets 8 and 9, and the hollow shaft 6 stops rotating. Accidents such as malfunctions and damage to walls can be prevented.

In this way, by rotating the heater 14 and the reflector 15, it is possible to irradiate infrared rays over a wider area than the area of the heater 14 and the reflector 15, which makes it possible to reduce the size of these parts and make it more compact than in the past.

In the hair treatment, when the irradiation is completed or a command to stop the rotation of the heater 14 is issued, the heater is automatically stopped at the solid line position in FIG. 1 (at the rear of the subject). It's okay.

4 and 5, in this embodiment, the heater 14 and reflector 15 of the previous embodiment have a semicircular shape instead of the ring shape. There is no difference from the previous embodiment, and the same effects as the previous embodiment are produced. Although not shown, as another embodiment, the heater 14 and the reflector 15 may be divided into a plurality of parts, and the divided parts may be connected to form a ring shape.

The hollow shaft 6 is capable of ejecting ultrasonic spray from the hollow portion and exhibiting an effect as a steamer by heating the heater 14.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, the heater and the reflector are attached to the rotating body at an angle, so the heater and the reflector can be attached to the top and rear of the irradiated object (the head of the patient) with a simple structure. , rotational movements such as eccentric rotational movement and reciprocating rotational movement can be performed along both sides.

Since the heater emits infrared rays while rotating, it is possible to irradiate infrared rays over an area larger than the size of the heater or reflector.

Therefore, the heater and reflector can be made smaller than conventional hair treatment accelerators, making it more compact and reducing the occupied floor space, thereby increasing the effective floor space of the hairdressing salon. I can do it.

Furthermore, in areas where the heater passes through its rotating operation and where the temperature rise is lower than other areas due to the shorter irradiation of infrared rays, the heating wire inside the heater is wound tightly. By increasing the amount of infrared rays irradiated to that part, it is possible to raise the temperature almost uniformly.

Moreover, since the direction of irradiation of infrared rays is changed by the rotational operation of the heater, it is possible to irradiate infrared rays to a portion that has been in the shadow, and there are effects such as being able to eliminate uneven irradiation of infrared rays.
