In this embodiment, the heat radiation improving portion 117 and the heat radiating plate 152 of the support frame 115 are arranged in parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the housing 112 and the heat radiation promoting member 160 is provided therebetween The support frame 115 and the Peltier element and the heat radiating plate 152 are stacked in the longitudinal direction of the housing 112 to be in surface contact with each other in a state in which the heat radiation improving portion 117 is removed, .

On the other hand, the light source unit 122 included in the head unit 120 includes an LED module. LEDs are easy to implement in a specific wavelength range, so they are only suitable for treatment of skin diseases by generating light required for treatment without any light.

The head unit 120 is provided with a picture image support unit 170 that protects the light source unit 122 and blocks heat transmission to the front surface. The image support unit 170 includes a protective cover 172 and a protective cover 172 provided on the front surface of the light source unit 122 and a support rib 174 for separating the light source unit 122 from each other.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the device for managing the skin according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In order to perform a dermatologist's skin disease, the practitioner attaches the head unit 120 equipped with the light source unit 122 having the therapeutic target wavelength to the handpiece 110. The coupling of the head part 120 is performed by slidingly inserting the second mounting part 134 of the head part 120 into the first mounting part 132 of the support frame 115 as shown in FIG. At this time, since the first fixing part 136 of the head part 120 and the second fixing part 137 protruding to the upper part of the support frame 115 are coupled to each other, the coupling state can be maintained.

At this time, a power terminal 140 is provided on the support frame 115 and the head part 120, and the power is supplied to the head part 120 by contacting each other. The support frame 115 and the head part 120 are respectively provided with a mounting recognition part 145 so that data on the performance of the head part 120 is transmitted to the main body, Can be automatically set.

The operation switch 118 provided in the handpiece 110 may be actuated to operate the operated person. At this time, the head part 120 is provided with the image holding part 170, so that the image of the person to be treated can be prevented. 3, a protective cover 172 of a transparent body is provided on the front surface of the light source unit 122, and the light source unit 122 is disposed apart from the protective cover 172 by the support ribs 174, By blocking, the operator can be protected from the image.

The skin management apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can be used by replacing the head unit 120 with the detachable unit 130 as shown in FIG. That is, since the head unit 120 is composed of individual units having respective wavelength ranges of 450 nm, 585 nm, and 660 nm and can be replaced by the detachable unit 130, it is possible to treat a skin disease that can be treated by the corresponding wavelength band

In operation, when the operator presses the detachable button portion 138, the second detachable portion 137 is moved by the inclined surface 139 facing the detachable button portion 138 and the second fixed portion 137 The coupling between the first fixing part 136 and the head part 120 can be separated from the supporting frame 115. [ When the head unit 120 having the wavelength of the other treatment target is mounted, the control corresponding to the head unit 120 is automatically set in the main unit.

The light source unit 122 is formed of an LED module, and can generate only light required for treatment without any light, thereby improving the therapeutic effect.

Meanwhile, the IPEI skin care apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can generate high heat because it implements strong light energy through the light source unit 122, and the heat dissipation unit 150 can maximize the heat dissipation effect.

As shown in FIG. 6, the support frame 115 is provided with a heat transfer facilitating member 140 for enhancing adhesion with the head 120, thereby facilitating heat transfer. That is, the heat generated in the light source unit 122 is transmitted to the head frame 126 made of a metal material, the heat transmitted to the head frame 126 is transmitted to the support frame 115 made of metal, (150). At this time, the head part 120 and the support frame 115 can be closely attached to each other by the heat transfer facilitating member 140 formed of a leaf spring for pressing the head part 120 toward the support frame 115, .

The heat transferred to the support frame 115 is partially radiated by the heat radiation enhancement part 117 extending in the longitudinal direction of the housing 112 and is heat-transferred to the heat sink 152 in surface contact with the support frame 115, Exchanged with the outside air introduced by the outside air inflow portion 156 and radiated.

The heat radiation improving portion 117 and the heat radiating plate 152 of the support frame 115 are formed to be long in the longitudinal direction of the housing 112 and the contact area with the outside air introduced by the outside air inflow portion 156 can be made wide So that the heat radiation effect can be improved. At this time, the housing 112 is narrowly formed toward the outside air inflow portion 156 side, so that the flow rate of the inflow air is increased, thereby doubling the heat radiation effect.

A heat radiation promoting member 160 made of a Peltier element is provided between the heat radiation improving portion 117 and the heat radiating plate 152 so that the heat absorbing portion 162 is brought into heat exchange with the support frame 115, The heat exchange performance is improved because the heat exchange is performed in contact with the heat exchanger 152.

As described above, according to the IPEI skin care device of the present invention, the head part can be selectively replaced by the detachable part composed of each unit having the wavelength of the treatment target, It is possible to improve the therapeutic effect and to realize a specific wavelength band suitable for the treatment in which the light source unit is made of the LED module and the noise is removed. Further, the heat radiating effect can be improved by the heat dissipating portion, and the quality and life of the product can be improved.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. I will understand.
