Description

[Detailed description of the invention] 【Technical field】

The present invention relates to a facial beauty device that is equipped with steam ionization means and can spray ionized steam.

[Background technology]

Conventionally, it has been known that applying ionized steam is effective in enhancing the beauty effect. However, a discharge phenomenon is used as an ionization means,
In order to ionize steam by electric discharge, it is necessary to stably generate thick, red sparks between the discharge electrodes, and it has become clear that for this purpose the electrodes must be cooled. However, in facial beauty devices equipped with high-pressure discharge units in which the discharge electrodes are exposed in the steam, the electrodes are heated by the steam, making it impossible to stably generate thick red sparks, and the ionization of the steam is also unstable. There wasn't.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned technical background, and its purpose is to be able to stably generate thick red sparks from the electrodes, and to stably generate steam. The purpose is to enable ionization.

[Disclosure of the invention]

The steam-type facial beauty device of the present invention is equipped with a discharge electrode 60 for ionizing steam in a steam path, and discharges ionized steam. Cooling means 61
It is characterized by the following. However,
Since the electrode 60 can be forcibly cooled by the cooler Pi 61 provided on the electrode 60, thick red sparks can be stably generated between the electrodes 60, and steam can be ionized stably. It is. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, to explain the structure of the facial beauty device, it consists of a housing 3 in which a water tank 2 is installed in a recess on the top surface, and an arm that is attached to a receiver 31 on the outer surface of the housing 3 with a shaft 32 so as to be able to swing up and down. 4, and a nozzle 19 for injecting steam is provided at the tip of the arm 4 whose angle can be changed by loosening the arm holder 40. The steam generation chamber 1 that generates the steam injected from the nozzle 19 is installed in the housing 3 from its bottom plate to the legs 35.
It is installed in a floating state with a baffle plate 14 inside, and a passage section 14a shown in FIG.
, is divided into two rooms that communicate only at 14b,
- A heater 5 is installed on the bottom of the chamber, and a water level sensor S1 is installed in another chamber. This water level sensor S, has a reed switch section 811 hanging from the top plate of the steam generation chamber 1, and a float section S, 2 (equipped with a permanent magnet for driving the reed switch) extrapolated to the reed switch section S11. A float switch system is used, and the exposed part to the steam generation chamber 1 is installed in an electrically insulated state. This water level sensor S1 detects the initial full water level and energizes the heater 5 and high pressure discharge unit 6.
Thereafter, the solenoid valve 8 is operated by detecting the lower limit water level LL. However, the amount of water level in the steam generation chamber 1 when the water level reaches the full level is small, and is such that steam is generated immediately after heating by the heater 5 starts. The steam obtained by heating the water in the steam generation chamber 1 with the heater 5 passes through the steam outlet 17 disposed on the upper wall of the chamber on the side where the heater 5 is disposed, through the conduit 18, and into the nozzle 19. be led to. The steam flowing toward the steam outlet 17 is caused by discharge between the electrodes 60 and 60 of the high-pressure discharge unit 6 installed in the upper part of the steam generation chamber 1 and near the steam outlet 17.
It is ionized. Further, the nozzle 19 is formed so that its jetting direction is perpendicular to the steam passage up to this point, and the rear end thereof protrudes into the steam passage. (hot water balls) are suppressed from blowing out. Here, the electrode 60.60 of the high-pressure discharge unit 6 is provided with a cooling means 61 for cooling the electrode 60.60 and stabilizing the discharge. That is, the pair of electrodes 60 and 60 are each covered with an insulating hose 101 such as a fluororesin tube, and a gap for discharge is formed between the exposed ends of the insulating hose 101. 60
．． The insulating hose 101 is partially cut out at the tip of the insulating hose 60 to form a recess 101a. Steam condenses and accumulates in this recess 101a, and when the temperature of the electrode 60.60 rises, the condensed water evaporates and removes heat, stably cooling the electrode 60.60. This recess 101a serves as a cooling means 61 for the electrodes 60, 60. Water is supplied to the steam generation chamber 1 from the water tank 2, and the water tank 2, which is detachable from the housing 3, has a built-in valve that is always biased in the closing direction by a spring. It is equipped with a cap 21 and supplies water to the steam generation chamber 1 through a supply chamber 7 formed as a recess on the upper surface of the housing 3. The upper part of the replenishment chamber 7 is enlarged through a stepped part 70, and a bottle 71 is erected from the bottom, and a water level sensor S2 as a float switch consisting of a reed switch part 84+ and a float part S2□ is installed. Further, the bottom surface thereof is connected to the water supply port 15 of the steam generation chamber 1 through the solenoid valve 8 and the water supply pipe 75. The bottle 71 has a valve in the cap 21 of the water tank 2 which is placed on top of the supply chamber 7 with the cap 21 facing downward.
It is pushed open against the bias of the spring, and the water in the water tank 2 is guided into the supply chamber 7. The water level in the supply chamber 7 is maintained at the level L of the lower surface of the cap 21 facing downward until the water tank 2 is emptied. Further, the water level sensor S2 is in a conductive state when the water level in the supply chamber 7 is at the above level L1, and is shut off when the water level in the supply chamber 7 decreases to below the L0 level in the figure. It functions as a water drain sensor. Furthermore, the electromagnetic valve 8 installed in the water supply channel from the supply chamber 7 to the steam generation chamber 1 is normally closed due to spring bias, and opens when energized to supply water to the steam generation chamber 1. This is what we do. For this facial beauty device, turn on the power switch SW located on the front of Howsong 3, and set the timer time-up time to 0, which is the initial setting displayed on the display section TD.
, set the appropriate time using the push button FWD that increases this value and the push button REV that decreases it, set the water tank 2 filled with water, and then turn on the operation indicator lamp La. Close the start/stop switch SWs. At this time, if the water level in the steam generation chamber 1 has not reached the water level detected by the water level sensor Sl, the solenoid valve 8 remains open and the water from the water tank 2 passes through the supply chamber 7 to generate steam. Send it to room 1. Then, when the water level in the steam generation chamber 1 reaches a certain level,
The heater 5 and the high-pressure discharge unit 6 are energized by the output of the water level sensor S1, and the generation of steam and ionization of the steam are started, and the solenoid valve 8 is closed. Thereafter, until the timer times up or the water runs out, or until the start/stop switch SWs is pressed again, the solenoid valve 8 is repeatedly opened and closed according to the increase/decrease in the water level in the steam generation chamber 1 by the detection of the LL water level by the water level sensor Sl. Therefore, the water level in the steam generation chamber 1 is maintained at a substantially constant level and steam generation is performed. The steam heading towards the nozzle 19 is ionized by the discharge between the discharge electrodes 60 and 60 so that it is good for the skin and makes makeup adhere better, and then is ejected from the nozzle 19. What is shown in FIG. 5 is another example of the present invention, in which the electrode 60.6
A water absorbing body 102 made of a heat-resistant material such as heat-resistant glass fiber is attached to the tip of the cooling means 61. The steam condenses and is absorbed by this water absorbing body 102, and when it evaporates, it takes away heat and the electrodes 60 and 60
It cools down stably. What is shown in Fig. f56 and Fig. 7 is still another example of the present invention, in which a fin 60a is integrally formed at the tip of the electrode 60, 60 so that steam condenses on the fin 60a and the heat dissipation area is increased. However, the fins 60a form cooling means 61 for the electrodes 60 and 60.

【Effect of the invention】

As described above, the present invention is provided with a cooling means near the tip of the discharge electrode for ionizing steam, so the electrode can be forcibly cooled and a thick red spark can be stably produced between the electrodes. It has the advantage of being able to stably ionize steam.
