In general, skin cosmetics using cosmetics are used as a way to keep skin young and beautiful, but no matter how much excellent bio-materials are added, the nutrition of cosmetics is not absorbed deeply into the skin and thus the skin improvement effect could not be expected.

Accordingly, a skin care massager is used to apply cosmetics to the skin and stimulate the skin to be absorbed deep into the skin. The skin care massager mainly has a high frequency, a medium frequency, and a low frequency method using an electric frequency, but this may not only harm the human body due to electrical stimulation, but may also be shocked due to an instantaneous voltage increase.

Accordingly, in the related art, a massage device using a vibration method of a motor is mostly used, and a massage device using the vibration method is in contact with a vibration motor for generating vibration by receiving power and the skin for transmitting vibration generated from the vibration motor to the skin. And a switch operated by a user who supplies or cuts power to the vibration motor, and a housing in which the vibration motor, the head, and the switch are installed.

Such a conventional massager operates the vibration motor by operating the switch in an operating state after the head contacts the skin while the user grips the housing. The vibration generated by the vibration motor is transmitted to the skin through the head to stimulate the skin.

However, the conventional vibrating massager as described above cannot increase the effect of skin beauty because the vibration that stimulates the skin is uniform. In other words, the skin of the human body differs not only in the thickness of the outermost epidermal layer and the subcutaneous tissue layer composed of the adipose tissue located below the epidermal layer, but also in the body organs located under the subcutaneous tissue layer.

For example, the skin covering the arms and legs is thinly formed in the epidermal layer and the subcutaneous tissue layer, and the epidermal layer and the subcutaneous tissue layer surround the muscles and bones while protecting the internal organs of the body. Subcutaneous tissue layer is formed very thick. In addition, the skin surrounding the arms and legs and the skin surrounding the abdomen are also different skin sensory organs, blood vessels and nerve distribution.

However, the conventional vibrating massager as described above was unable to increase the massage effect because the above-described role and structure massage the skin parts with different vibration patterns.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a portable vibration massager and a method of controlling the vibration pattern and ionization pattern according to the body part to be massaged.

The head unit for contacting the skin and the galvanic ion current output from the vibration generator 120 and the galvanic ion current generator 130 after the power supply step (S100) and the power supply step (S100) to apply ( And an operation step S200 for transmitting to the head, and the operation step S200 includes outputs of the vibration generating unit 120 and the galvanic ion current generating unit 130 according to the skin part in contact with the head unit 140. It is achieved by a portable vibration massager control method comprising a mode selection step (S300) for selecting to different.

Here, the mode selection step (S300) includes a limb mode that maintains the output of the vibration generating unit 120 and the galvanic ion current generating unit 130 for 0.2 seconds, and repeats the cycle for 0.2 seconds to control for 2 minutes It is preferable.

In addition, the mode selection step (S300) maintains the output of the vibration generating unit 120 and the galvanic ion current generating unit 130 for 0.8 seconds, interrupted for 0.2 seconds, and then maintained the output for 0.2 seconds again 0.2 It is preferable to include an abdominal mode in which a period of interruption is performed for a second, the output is maintained for 0.2 seconds, and then a cycle for 0.2 seconds is repeated for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 are perspective views showing a portable vibration massager according to the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the portable massage device according to the present invention is a vibration generating unit 120 for generating a vibration inside the housing 150 of the "T" shape, and galvanic ion current generating unit 130 for emitting an ion current ) Is installed.

In addition, one side of the housing 150 is provided with a head 140 for transmitting the vibration and galvanic ion current output from the vibration generating unit 120 and the galvanic ion current generating unit 130 to the skin.

In addition, a PCB 112 is installed inside the housing, and a body part to be massaged with a controller 160 controlling the vibration generator 120 and the galvanic ion current generator 130 on the PCB 112. , According to the limbs or abdomen, the user to select the output of the vibration generating unit 120 and the galvanic ion current generating unit 130, the electricity supplied to the vibration generating unit 120 and the galvanic ion current generating unit 130 A power / mode operation unit 170 for controlling energy is provided.

The housing 150 has a shape of approximately "T" so that the user can be in close contact with the skin of the head 140 in the easily gripped state, the upper surface of the housing capable of switching the power / mode operation unit 170 The limb mode display unit 180 and the abdominal mode display unit 190 are installed to allow the user to visually identify the output state of the push button 172, the vibration generator 120, and the galvanic ion current generator 130.

In addition, the upper surface of the housing 150 is formed to open a portion of the upper surface of the housing to replace the battery used as a power source, the open portion is provided with a cover 152. In other words, a battery for supplying electrical energy to the vibration generating unit 120 and the galvanic ion current generating unit 130 through the cover 152 formed in the housing 150 is installed replaceably.

However, the power source is not limited to the battery, but may be variously modified and implemented. For example, the battery includes a secondary battery, a solar cell, or a power supply device (not shown) provided with a separate voltage stabilization circuit and a transformer circuit to use household power, and is connected to the household power. You can use it.

In this way, the electrical energy supplied from the power supply is supplied to the vibration generating unit 120 and the galbadic ion current generating unit 130, thereby transmitting the vibration and ion current to the head unit 140. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

3 is a cross-sectional view showing a portable massage device according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a portable massage device according to the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the vibration generating unit 120 converts electrical energy supplied from a power source into vibration energy, and the vibration generating unit 120 is installed close to the head 140. The vibration generator 120 may be, for example, any one of an eccentric motor, a linear motor, and an ultrasonic generator.

In particular, when the vibration generating unit 120 is made of an ultrasonic generator, the skin massage effect can be doubled. In other words, the ultrasonic wave has a very short wavelength but a very strong vibration force.

As such, when ultrasonic waves are used for skin beauty, ultrasonic waves penetrate into the skin and transmit vibrations to the cell nucleus, thereby activating cellular metabolism or regenerative activity by stimulating cell movements that collide with each other.

In particular, since the action of the adipocytes is active, the effect of discharging the cellulite layer (slackened due to the expansion of mast cells) is also fast. On the other hand, the heat caused by the strong vibration is mostly absorbed by the blood to move the blood circulation. It promotes and improves the function of blood vessels.

In addition, the chemical function is known to stimulate the epidermal cells, promote the synthesis of collagen and elastin, improve protein synthesis ability, wrinkles and so on. Conduction of ultrasonic waves to the human body reaches about 3 ~ 5cm to perform high-speed skin massage.

On the other hand, the galvanic ion current generating unit 130 is for promoting the metabolism of the skin by flowing an ion current to the skin. In other words, it stimulates the metabolism of the skin by flowing a microcurrent to the human body, and a weak current of low voltage flows in a constant direction. Help me to

In general, negative ions ionize the sebum mass, carbon dioxide, and waste products that accumulate in hair follicles and cause skin lesions by flowing an electric current from outside the skin to the outside of the skin. The cation is known to have the effect of reversing the direction of current when nourishing the skin to absorb effective biomaterials deep into the dermis.

When the minute current flows to the skin, the current is preferably a galvanic ion current. The galvanic ion current is the highest current that is safely rectified, using the galvanic ion energy to soften the nerves of the skin, and when the water-soluble substance is delivered deep into the skin, it is accompanied by electrical effects, thermal effects, and chemical effects, thereby ionizing the bio components of cosmetics. Maximizes.

As described above, the vibration and ion current output from the vibration generating unit 120 and the galvanic ion current generating unit 130 are transmitted to the skin through the head unit 140, and the head unit 140 is in direct contact with the skin. In order to pressurize, a plurality of acupressure protrusions 142 are formed on the surface of the head part 140.

In addition, an entire surface of the head 140, such as the inside, the outside, and the end, is formed with an electrically conductive film. In other words, conductive powders such as silver, copper, zinc, and chromium are coated with an adhesive, or copper (Cu), nickel, silver, zinc, chromium, etc. are performed by a known technique by electroless chemical plating or electroplating. All surfaces, such as the inside, the outside, and the end of the head 140, improve electrical conductivity.

Between the head 140 and the housing 150 through the connector made of synthetic resin, that is, the O-ring 114 to insulate the electrical circuit in an electrical circuit, the vibration generating unit.
