However, in the present invention, a steam room communicating with the boiler room is provided in the upper part of the boiler room, and a pipe connecting the steam room and the nozzle part, which is smaller in planar shape than the boiler room, is above the boiler room and is connected to the steam room. The first feature is that the boiler room is placed on the side of the room, and the initial water supply level is detected in a position where the boiler room, to which water is directly supplied, is not affected by ripples caused by the steam generation heater. The second feature is that it also includes an initial water level sensor that becomes inactive when the heater is turned on. [Function] According to the first feature of the present invention, the steam room and the piping located next to the steam room are arranged in the space above the boiler room, so that the boiler room is compact. According to the second feature,
Initial water level detection can be performed without causing malfunction due to water level rise due to bubble generation when the heater is turned on. [Embodiment] The present invention will be described in detail below based on the illustrated embodiment. This facial beauty device 1 has a boiler lid 3 and a cover 2 rotatably attached to the upper rear edge on the top surface of the main body 1. In addition to arranging the nozzle part 4 and the operating part 12, a recess 11 is provided for storing a cooling device 9 having a cooling plate 90 at one end cooled by a Peltier element and a water supply cup 95. A drainage cup 14 is disposed on the side so that it can be freely pulled out to the side. In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a button cover that covers a drain valve for opening a drain valve 66 to be described later to prevent the drain valve from being inadvertently operated, and reference numeral 20 denotes a mirror attached to the inner surface of the cover 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, inside the main body 1, a chamber in which a boiler room 6 is arranged and an electrical parts storage chamber 25 are partitioned by a single partition 6, and the boiler room 6 is divided into: A steam chamber 5 is integrally formed in the upper part of the boiler lid 3, and the upper opening edge of the steam chamber 5 is in contact with the opening formed in the upper lid 10 on the upper surface of the main body 1 through two gaskets. is closed by. As shown in FIG. 6, the boiler room 6 has a built-in heater 60 for steam generation, and an initial water level sensor S1 and a lower limit water level sensor S in a room integrally formed on the side.
2 and a float switch F, with anti-waving ribs 61. ．． 62 and a defoaming net 63 are provided inside. Here, the initial water level sensor S1 detects whether the water supplied into the boiler room 6 by the water absorption cup 95 reaches a predetermined water level when the boiler lid 3 is opened, and the water is supplied to the boiler room 6 up to this water level. If the water level in the boiler room 6 falls below a predetermined water level, the lower limit water level sensor S2 interrupts the power supply to the heater 60 to prevent dry firing. Furthermore, the float switch F is used to cut off the power when an abnormality occurs in the boiler room 6 and the water level rises abnormally. It should be noted that the initial water level sensor S1 becomes inactive when the heater 60 starts to be energized, so that it is not affected by the ripples on the water surface caused by the start of the energization to the heater 60. The boiler M3 has its rear side pivoted by a shaft 15 on a convex part protruding from the top cover 10 of the main body 1, and has a lock release button 31 on its front side and a punch hole 30 on its rear upper surface. A gasket 32 in contact with the upper opening edge of the steam chamber 5 and a relief valve 33 are attached to the bottom plate 34 on the lower surface.When the internal pressure of the boiler chamber 6 and the steam chamber 5 becomes abnormally high, a relief valve 33 is installed. Steam is released to the outside through the valve 33 and the vent hole 30. Note that the 3° punch hole is formed to discharge steam toward the rear for safety. The boiler lid 3 is held closed by engagement with a lock boss protruding from the top W3, and when the lock release button 31 is operated, the lid 3
The front side will lift up a little due to the reaction force of step 2, but the ribs 17 that protrude from the top cover 10 of the main body 1 and fit into the grooves 37 formed in the bottom plate 34 of the boiler cover 3 will be able to absorb the steam at this time. This is to prevent it from coming out to the front. The steam chamber 5 has a U-shaped pipe 51 connected to the connection port 5o on the back side.
The vibrator 52 is further connected to the nozzle portion 4 via a water stop block 7 and a rubber tube 46 . The high-pressure discharge unit 8 ionizes the steam discharged from the nozzle part 4 by performing discharge within the vibrator 52. The nozzle part 4 can swing three-dimensionally by sandwiching the hemispherical convex part 18 formed on the upper i10 of the main body l between the lower end peripheral edge of the cylindrical nozzle cover 41 and the flange part of the vibrator part 45. A steam nozzle 44 is held by a holder rubber 43, and a water absorbent body 42 for absorbing water droplets is attached to the inner surface of a cylinder 40 arranged at the tip of the steam nozzle 44. There is. The water stop block 7 is connected to the steam chamber 5 as shown in FIG.
A lower connection 0 to the side, a lower connection 1 to the nozzle part 4 side,
In addition to a drainage lower 2, a water stop ball 73 is disposed inside.This ball 73 comes in contact with a valve seat 74 provided on the connecting lower 1 side to stop water when the facial beauty device falls over. This prevents the liquid from flowing to the nozzle part 4 side. Note that the connection lower 0 and the drainage lower 2 are always in communication. In addition, the drain lower 2 is connected to the drain block 66 through the drain pipe 76.
It is connected to the. A drain block 65, which is also connected to a drain port 64 provided at the bottom of the boiler room 6 through a drain pipe 65, pushes a drain plate attached to the upper end of a rod 78 shown in FIG. 3 against a spring 79. Open it when
Water accumulated in the drain pipe 76 and water in the boiler room 6 is drained into the drain cup 14 through the drain port 67. 68 in FIG. 3 is a waterproof gasket between the drain port 67 and the bottom plate of the main body 1. Here, as is clear from the above, the steam generated in the boiler room 6 is
The steam is discharged from the nozzle section 4 through the water stop block 7, but the planar shape of the steam chamber 5 here is smaller than that of the boiler chamber 6, and by utilizing this size difference, , a high-pressure discharge unit 8 on the side of the steam room 5 and above the boiler room 6,
Piping is provided to connect the steam 5 and the water stop block 7. The piping and high-pressure discharge unit 8 are arranged using dead space, and for this reason, the entire system is compact. Moreover, the steam pipe leading from the steam chamber 5 to the water stop block 7 is provided diagonally so that the water stop block 7 side is lower. Partly because the nozzle section 4 is provided above the water stop block 7, water droplets condensed on the way do not reach the nozzle section 4 and are reliably drained.

【Effect of the invention】

As described above, in the present invention, since the steam room and the piping located next to the steam room are arranged in the space above the boiler room, it is compact and easy to store. Moreover, it is easy to use, and the second feature is that the initial water level can be detected by the initial water level sensor until the heater is turned on, and after the heater is turned on, this Since the initial water level sensor is in a non-operating state, the initial water level sensor will not malfunction due to a rise in water level due to bubbles generated when the heater is turned on.
