A housing space 11 is formed in the housing 11 as shown in the figure and a temperature control unit 12, an air supply unit 13, a vibration unit 14, a contact sensing unit 15, 17 and a battery 18 are disposed.

The light irradiation portion 16 and the brush 20 can be disposed in the receiving space at one end of the main body housing 11 except for the above-described light transmission pin 163 and the brush pin 22. [

The body housing 11 is formed with a pair of openings 111 and 113 at different positions as described above. As shown, the openings 111 and 113 may be disposed at different positions in the body housing 11. [ This is for facilitating the ventilation inside the housing space 11 and the accommodation space through the openings 111 and 113.

Although not shown, in order to facilitate ventilation, the main body housing 11 may be provided with additional openings in addition to the openings 111 and 113 as shown, or the openings 111 and 113 may be divided And the positions of the openings 111 and 113 may be changed as necessary.

The openings 111 and 113 are provided with a plurality of filters 112 and 114, respectively, as described above. The filters 112 and 114 are provided to prevent the user's fingers and foreign substances from entering into the accommodation space from the outside of the main housing 11 through the openings 111 and 113, A plurality of through holes or slits may be formed.

The filters 112 and 114 are formed so that the filters 112 and 114 themselves have sufficient strength and rigidity and the main body housing 11 is rigid Lt; / RTI >

For reference, although not shown, the filters 112 and 114 may be formed by forming a plurality of fine holes, such as a grating, at positions where the openings 111 and 113 of the main housing 11 are formed. That is, the filters 112 and 114 may be formed integrally with the body housing 11, and the openings 111 and 113 may be formed with a plurality of holes.

Alternatively, although not shown, when the openings 111 and 113 are formed to be small enough to pass the user's finger or the like through the openings 111 and 113, , 114 may not be installed.

The brush 20 includes a brush body 21 and a plurality of brush pins 22.

The brush body 21 may be formed in a flat plate shape, and the plurality of brush pins 22 have a shape protruding in one direction from one surface of the brush body 21 as shown in the figure.

Here, the brush body 21 and the plurality of brush pins 22 may be made of a material having thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity such as gold, silver, platinum, aluminum, copper, titanium, and stainless steel. At this time, the brush pin 22 may be formed separately from the brush body 21 and then fixedly or integrally formed on one surface of the brush body 21.

Since the brush pin 22 is a portion directly contacting the skin including the scalp, it is formed so as to have no sharp edges, such as a hemispherical shape, a half ellipse, a polygon whose edges are rounded, .

And, the number and arrangement of the brush pins 22 can be added or subtracted as necessary, as shown in the figure. For example, when the diameter of the brush pin 22 is small, the number of the brush pins 22 may be increased or the interval may be decreased. In the case where the diameter is large, the number of the brush pins 22 may be decreased or the interval may be increased can do.

For reference, the brush pin 22 can be formed in a proper diameter and shape so that the user can obtain a corrective effect of aligning the hair with the brush 20, and the arrangement thereof can also be adjusted.

At this time, the brush 20 of various shapes, which is not shown, can be used by the user in the state of hair, so that the brush 20 can be used in various cases such as hair straightening and curling hair. As shown in FIG.

In addition, the brush body 21 may have a curved plate shape in which a middle portion of one surface is concave. This is because when the scalp is to be managed mainly by using the skin care device 1, the one disposed in the middle portion of the plurality of brush pins 22 is less likely to protrude to one side of the skin care device 1 So that the number of brush pins 22 that are in contact with the scalp having a generally non-uniform spherical surface shape is increased.

The light irradiation unit 16 is disposed on the outer periphery of the brush body 21 and emits light in a direction in which the brush pin 22 protrudes. That is, the light irradiation unit 16 irradiates light to one direction of the skin care device 1 to allow light to reach the user's skin.

The light irradiation unit 16 includes a light emitting element 161 and a light transmitting body 162.

The light transmitting body 162 may protrude from the light transmitting pin 163 as shown in FIG. The light transmitting body 162 is made of a transparent material and the light transmitting pin 163 can be formed integrally with the light transmitting body 162.

As the light emitting device 161, a light emitting diode that emits light when power is supplied may be used, and the light emitting device 161 is disposed on the other side of the light transmitting main body 162. Therefore, when the light emitting element 161 emits light, the light is incident on the other side of the light transmitting body 162 made of a transparent material, then passes through the light transmitting body 162, .

In the case where the light transmitting body 163 is not formed in the light transmitting body 162, light may be irradiated from one side of the light transmitting body 162, unlike the case shown in FIG.

Here, the light transmitting body 162 may have a ring shape coupled to the outer periphery of the brush body 21 as shown in the drawing. The light transmitted from the light emitting element 161 may be transmitted through the light transmitting pin 163 ). ≪ / RTI > The light transmitted to the other end of the light transmitting pin 163 is transmitted to one end thereof and then irradiated in one direction.

For reference, the optical transmission pin 163 may be formed to have a shape in which total internal reflection can occur so that the light incident on the other end, such as an optical fiber, is mostly transmitted to one end, But may be formed to have a shape corresponding to the pin 22.

The temperature regulating unit 12 regulates the temperature of the brush body 21 and the temperature regulating unit 12 includes a Peltier element 121 and a heat sink 125. The heat sink 125 includes a heat sink body 126 and the heat sink body 126 has a plurality of heat radiating fins 128 on the other side thereof.

The Peltier element 121 uses a Peltier effect. The Peltier element 121 generates endothermic or exothermic heat at one side 123 and heat or heat at the other side 122 depending on the direction of the current flowing through the Peltier element 121. Endothermic occurs.

One side of the heat sink 125, that is, the heat sink body 126 is disposed on the other side 122 of the Peltier element 121, Lt; / RTI >

Thus, the brush body 21 can be heated and cooled by the operation of the Peltier element 121, so that the brush pin 22 can also be heated and cooled by the conduction phenomenon.

The heat sink 125 promotes heat generation or heat absorption at the other side 122 of the Peltier element 121 by heat exchange between the radiating fin 128 and the air around the radiating fin 128. Therefore, The effect of heating or cooling the brush 20 can be increased.

Fig. 6 is a view for explaining the operation of the supply unit.

Referring to FIG. 6, the supply unit 13 includes a fan 131 and a fan housing 132.

The supply unit 13 is disposed on the other side of the heat sink 125 to allow air to smoothly flow between the plurality of radiating fins 128. Accordingly, the heat exchange performance of the heat sink 125 described above is further improved, so that the effect that the Peltier element 121 heats or cools the brush 20 is further increased.

The air supply unit 13 may be disposed such that air flows into one of the openings 111 and 113 when the fan 131 is operated and flows through the fan 131 and then flows out to the other side. For example, as shown in the drawing, the air W1 introduced into the one of the openings 111 and 113 arranged on the other side of the main housing 11 passes through the fan 131, And then flows out through another opening 113 (W2).

For reference, the air flow directions W1 and W3 may be opposite to each other depending on the operating direction of the fan 131. [

3 to 5, the vibration unit 14 includes an eccentric motor 141, and the eccentric motor 141 is coupled to the other side of the brush body 21. As shown in FIG. Although not shown in detail, the eccentric motor 141 is a device that vibrates by being rotated by the eccentric additional motor when power is applied.

Since the vibration generated in the eccentric motor 141 is transmitted to the brush pin 22 through the brush body 21, the skin care device 1 can apply vibration to the skin. If necessary, the eccentric motor 141 may be replaced with an ultrasonic vibrator that generates ultrasonic vibration.

The battery 18 is disposed in a housing space formed in the body housing 11. [ As the battery 18, a rechargeable battery which can be repeatedly charged can be used.

The control unit 17 includes main boards 171 and 171a, an operation button 172, a supporting board 173, switches 174 and 175, a connecting unit 176, a display window 177, and a display unit 178 Will be described with reference to FIG.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram for explaining the control unit.

3 to 7, a control circuit (not shown) is formed on the main boards 171 and 171a. The control circuit includes the temperature control unit 12, the supply unit 13, the vibration unit 14, the contact sensing unit 15, the light irradiation unit 16, the supporting substrate 173, the connecting means 176, (18) are electrically connected.

The display means 178 and the switches 174 and 175 are provided on the supporting substrate 173 as shown in the figure and the signal is transmitted from the switches 174 and 175 to the supporting substrate 173 as the operating button 172 is operated Can be input. Alternatively, the display means 178 and the switches 174 and 175 may be installed to be supported by the body housing 11 and electrically connected to the control circuit, instead of being mounted on the support substrate 173, although not shown.

The connecting means 176 uses a means for electrically disconnectable connection such as a jack. The connecting means 176 is provided with a power plug (not shown) for supplying electric power to charge the battery 18 or a connecting plug (not shown) for electrically connecting the blood stimulator (80 in Fig. 15) 16 to 85) may be detachably connected.

More specifically, the Peltier element 121, the fan 131, the eccentric motor 141, the contact electrode 151, the light emitting element 161, and the display means 178 are electrically connected to the control circuit And the operation of the above-described components connected to the control circuit can be controlled by the control unit 17, respectively, in accordance with a signal input by the user to the switches 174 and 175 by operating the operation button 172. [

This control is implemented by transmitting a signal input to the support substrate 173 by the switches 174 and 175 to the control unit 17 in accordance with the number of times the user repeatedly presses the operation button 172, .

Although not shown, additional switches (not shown) may be further provided on the support substrate 173 in addition to the switches 174 and 175 in order to facilitate the selection of the more various operating modes, 174, and 175, it is also possible to provide a dip switch or the like capable of operating a plurality of switches in combination.

The display window 177 formed on the operation button 172 allows the user to easily grasp how the components are operated when the operation of the above-described components is controlled by the control unit 17, respectively. That is, a part or more of the operation buttons 172 is made of transparent or semi-transparent material so that the operation status displayed on the display unit 178 can be confirmed through the display window 177.

Whether or not the brush body 21 is being heated or cooled by the Peltier element 121 and whether or not the fan 131, the eccentric motor 141, the light emitting element 161, etc. are operating is displayed on the display means 178 Can be displayed.

As the display means 178, a display in which characters and symbols are displayed can be used. Alternatively, a plurality of operating states may be opaque on the display window 177 or written in a different color from the surroundings, and a plurality of light emitting elements may be arranged corresponding to the positions of the plurality of operating states indicated, So that the operation status can be displayed on the display window 177. [

For reference, a plurality of fixed ribs may be formed in the body housing 11 to fix the above-described plurality of components so that they are not arbitrarily moved.

The operation and effect of the skin care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

When the user holds the skin care device 1 by hand and moves the skin care device 1 at a proper speed after the brush pins 22 and the ends of the light transmission pins 163 are brought into contact with the skin at an appropriate pressure, The effect of massaging the skin by the end portions of the light transmitting pin 22 and the light transmitting pin 163 can be obtained.

Massaging the skin promotes blood circulation through the capillary blood vessels, thereby increasing the transport of waste accumulated in the skin and the supply of nutrients, thereby improving the condition of the skin. In particular, in the case of scalp, since the amount of blood supplied to the hair follicle is increased by massage, the nutritional supply condition of the hair can be improved or hair loss can be suppressed.

At this time, when the Peltier element 121 is operated by the controller 17, the brush pin 22 is heated or cooled, so that the skin temperature can be raised or lowered.

The skin temperature is lowered by the brush pin 22 in the bruise area, the sprained area and the site where the initial purulent inflammation is generated, thereby reducing the inflammation and edema of the damaged area by delaying the metabolism in the cell, Can be obtained.

On the contrary, the temperature of the skin is increased by the brush pin (22) in the sprained area where the time has elapsed for a few days or the area where chronic myalgia has been generated, so that the capillary blood is expanded so that the supply of blood is smooth, Can be promoted.

When the far infrared ray emitting material is coated on one surface of the brush body 21 and the surface of the brush pin 22, far infrared rays having a high skin penetration power are emitted when the temperature of the brush body 21 rises. So that the effect can be further increased.

Especially, in case of scalp with hair loss, the temperature is excessively increased due to stress or inflammation. At this time, the temperature of the scalp is lowered by the brush pin 22, so that damage to the hair root by heat can be suppressed.

For reference, although not shown, a temperature sensor capable of measuring the temperature of the brush 20 is thermally connected to the brush 20 and electrically connected to the controller 17, whereby the skin temperature can be measured.

When the measured temperature is out of a predetermined range, the controller 17 adjusts the temperature of the Peltier element 121 so that the temperature of the skin contacted to the brush pin 22 is kept within a predetermined range, , The skin care device 1 may be provided with the effect of the symptom therapy according to the change in temperature on the skin having symptoms such as inflammation and overheating.

When the fan 131 is operated by the Peltier element 121 during the operation of the Peltier element 121, the heat exchange effect of the heat sink 125 is further improved and the operating efficiency of the Peltier element 121 can be increased.

On the other hand, when the eccentric motor 141 is operated by the control unit 17, the generated vibration is transmitted to the skin through the brush pin 22. This vibration stimulates the capillary blood vessels disposed on the skin, thereby improving the circulation of the blood, so that the skin can be improved and the massage effect by the brush pin 22 may be further increased.

For reference, the control unit 17 may be provided with a means for adjusting the rotational speed of a motor (not shown) so that the frequency of vibration generated in the eccentric motor 141 can be adjusted.

In addition, researchers at the University of Sheffield and Bristol University in the UK have found through experiments that if the skin is supersonic, the chances of recovery from chronic wounds, such as bedsores or ulcers, are increased. In other words, it has been known to activate the signaling mechanism of proteins using weak ultrasonic waves and to induce fibroblasts to the wounded area.

Therefore, the eccentric motor 141 can be replaced with an ultrasonic vibrator (not shown) that emits ultrasonic waves when power is applied, thereby allowing the brush pin 22 to transmit ultrasonic vibration to the skin.

When the light emitting element 161 emits light by the control unit 17 and light is irradiated to the skin, the effect of phototherapy by the light ray can be obtained. The effects of phototherapy are illustrated below.

When the oxyne is applied to the skin and irradiated with a ray having a wavelength of about 410 nm, the action of the sebaceous gland is inhibited and the acne generated from the skin is healed because the phase sterilization or the killing of the acne bacteria occurs and the activity of the sebaceous gland is inhibited .

Light rays with a wavelength of about 570 nm can improve symptoms caused by pigmentation such as spots or freckles, and light rays with a wavelength of about 540 nm can reduce capillaries to improve facial flushing and capillary dilation And a light ray having a wavelength of about 650 nanometers can suppress the growth of hair root to obtain a hair removal effect and a light ray having a wavelength of about 630 nanometers stimulates collagen and elastin producing cells, And the like.

Therefore, the light emitting element 161 can be selected and applied to emit light of a wavelength suitable for the application. If a plurality of light emitting devices 161 are installed, it is preferable to distribute the light of two or more kinds of wavelengths to the other side of the light transmitting main body 162 and to control them by controlling them by the control unit 17 It is possible to irradiate light having a wavelength suitable for the condition of the skin to be exposed.
