Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a skin and an obesity care device, and more particularly, to a skin and an obesity care device that can simultaneously output energy to multiple layers of the skin. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002]

The present invention relates to a dual-hi-based skin and an obesity care device capable of simultaneously outputting energy to a skin multilayer, and more particularly, to a skin and an obesity care device capable of simultaneously outputting ultrasound energy of high intensity to skin multi- And more particularly, to a dual-high-fidelity skin and obesity care device capable of simultaneously outputting energy to multiple layers of the skin, which can shorten the procedure time and frequency by performing simultaneous treatment of the skin layers without replacement of the cartridges.

Generally, in hospitals, high intensity focused focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy is irradiated to the skin, and a technique of directly observing and treating skin diseases through a monitor is widely used.

For example, the HIFU (Focused Ultrasound Therapy) is a technique for burning tissue using a high heat of 65-100 ° C, which is generated when focusing ultrasound energy of high intensity at a deep part of the skin, When the ultrasound stronger about 100 times stronger than the intensity of the ultrasound is focused on one spot, heat is generated at the focus region, which is similar to the case where a convex lens collects sunlight and generates heat at the focus region.

At this time, the ultrasonic wave itself is harmless to the human body, and heat is generated only at the focus where the ultrasonic waves are concentrated. Therefore, it is an advantage of treating the lesion in the body without using general anesthesia without using a knife or a needle.

Such HIFU (Focused Ultrasound Therapy) has recently been used in the field of skin care, and since the frequency for generating HIFU energy must be fixed according to the purpose of use (for example, skin care, obesity care, etc.) (I.e., a beauty care device) capable of generating HIFU energy suitable for the HIFU has been developed, but it is disadvantageous in that it is extremely expensive.

In addition, although the unit cost of the beauty care device is high, the life of the transducer as a core element is shortened due to the internal temperature overheating of the cartridge mounted on the probe. In general, beauty care devices must be operated for a few hours (at least one hour) when starting a beauty care (eg skin care, obesity care, etc.), so that the beauty of the beauty care device There is a need for a method that minimizes the impact on performance or beauty care efficacy.

However, in the past, most of technologies such as preventing the malfunction of the beauty care device or extending the life span of the cartridge by preventing the overheating of the cartridge merely. Therefore, there is a need for a temperature control method that minimizes the effect on the beauty care effect or improves the feeling of contact of the probe to the skin, thereby improving the satisfaction of the user.

In order to manage the entire thickness of the skin, there is a problem in that it is necessary to replace the cartridge that generates other HIFU energy and perform repeated treatment because the skin requiring treatment for obesity management is formed as a layer having respective thicknesses. In addition, since layers of the skin requiring skin care (e.g., skin lifting treatment) have respective thicknesses, there is a problem in that it is necessary to repeatedly perform replacement by replacing the cartridge that generates other HIFU energy.

In the present invention, the controller may display a wait state for beauty care through a display unit of the beauty care apparatus, or display a beauty care standby state through lighting means mounted on a probe of the beauty care apparatus.

In the present invention, when the beauty care is started in the beauty care standby state, the control unit adjusts the temperature of the circulating water to a second target temperature set in advance through the temperature controller, while pumping the circulating water through the circulating water pipe The circulation rate of the circulation water may be adjusted more rapidly or the temperature of the cartridge may be adjusted through the temperature regulator in order to keep the temperature of the cartridge at a predetermined second target temperature in response to the continuous rise of the temperature of the cartridge during use of the beauty care device. And the temperature of the circulating water can be adjusted to be lower than the second target temperature.

In the present invention, the second target temperature is a temperature that is adjusted to have a cool or hot feeling according to the taste of the user, wherein the temperature having a cool feeling is a temperature set lower than the body temperature, And the temperature having the feeling is set at a temperature higher than the body temperature.

In the present invention, when the beauty care is completed or the operation off switch is inputted, the controller controls the temperature of the circulating water to a third target temperature set in advance through the temperature controller so that the circulating water is circulated through the circulating water pipe And the pumping of the circulating water is terminated when the temperature of the cartridge reaches the third target temperature by checking whether the temperature of the cartridge is actually the third target temperature.

In the present invention, the cartridge is characterized by including a cartridge for generating a plurality of frequencies of 1 to 3 MHz at the same time in obesity management, and a cartridge for generating a plurality of frequencies of 4 to 7 MHz at the time of skin management .

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a complex beauty care device having a skin beauty function and an obesity management function according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this process, the thicknesses of the lines and the sizes of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of explanation. In addition, the terms described below are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, which may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user, the operator. Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout this specification.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view for explaining an external shape and function of a dual high-hip-based skin and an obesity care device capable of simultaneously outputting energy to a skin multilayer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a dual high-hip-based skin and obesity care device capable of simultaneously outputting energy to a skin multilayer according to the present embodiment (hereinafter, briefly referred to as a beauty care device for convenience of description) And is formed as small as possible for easy portability.

The dual high-hip-based skins and obesity care devices according to the present embodiment can be used to select beauty care functions (e.g. skin (skin) care, obesity care, skin (skin) Menu, and displays the status of the dual-high-pressure-based skin and the obesity care device according to the present embodiment (for example, the type of the currently mounted cartridge, the temperature control status of the probe, etc.) And a display unit 170 for displaying an image.

In addition, the dual-hip-based skin and obesity care device according to the present embodiment can perform stable operation through non-invasive procedures and state feedback functions of a treatment site, and includes an overheat cut- And a temperature management technique for controlling the temperature of the probe (or the cartridge in the probe) to a predetermined proper temperature for each season and the operation state of the beauty care device, thereby eliminating the user's sense of resistance in beauty care and improving the satisfaction.

For example, the overheat cut-off technique allows a heat accumulation function to be stably performed through a certain frequency maintenance control, and the current can be cut off by mounting the overheat cut-off board in the handpiece.

In addition, the present embodiment has the effect of preventing the beauty care effect from being deteriorated by performing the temperature control at the same time during the beauty care so as to solve the problem that the beauty care effect is inferior by stopping the beauty care operation for overheating.

In addition, the dual-hipup-based skin and obesity care device according to the present embodiment can uniformly move the position of the transducer up / down or left / right through a precision motor control algorithm.

The display unit 170 includes a touch input function.

The complex type beauty care device according to this embodiment can replace the cartridge.

The cartridge is a means for generating HIFU energy and transfers the generated HIFU energy to a transducer (e.g., frequency generator, HIFU ceramic device, etc.) (not shown). The transducer (e.g., a frequency generator, a HIFU ceramic device, or the like) is a means for receiving the source (i.e., the HIFU energy generated through the cartridge) and converting it into another form (e.g., ultrasonic wave). The transducer can move left / right through a motor (not shown) (e.g., step motor), and can also move up / down.

However, since the movement control of such a transducer is out of the scope of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The cartridge may also only refer to a HIFU energy generator (or circuit) according to an embodiment, and may also include a transducer (not shown). Note that this division may vary depending on whether each component of the cartridge is integrally formed or separated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the cartridge includes a transducer (not shown) for the convenience of explanation, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

In this embodiment, the cartridge includes at least four kinds.

For example, the four types of cartridges may include two types of cartridges (for example, a cartridge for 2 MHz, a cartridge for 4 MHz) for obesity management function, two types of cartridges (for example, Cartridges), and dual-purpose cartridges for skin-obesity management (e.g. cartridges for 1 MHz to 4 MHz).

At this time, since the kind of the cartridge is described by way of example, depending on the embodiment, it may include another kind of cartridge (that is, a cartridge for generating another kind of frequency).

FIG. 2 is an exemplary view for comparing frequency characteristics that can be generated by using different types of cartridges in a dual high-hip-based skin and obesity care device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a frequency characteristic that can be generated by using a cartridge capable of simultaneously performing multiple layers of skin.

Referring to FIG. 2, the cartridge for the skin (skin) -bearing function can generate a frequency of 1 MHz or 4 MHz, thereby being useful for skin care and obesity care suited to the user's condition, Is useful for managing the skin suitable for a user's condition (e.g., a thin skin, a thick skin) by simultaneously generating a plurality of selected frequencies of 4 to 7 MHz, and although not specifically shown in the drawings, Cartridges for management functions are useful for obesity care according to the user's condition by simultaneously generating multiple frequencies selected from 1 to 3 MHz.

For example, as already mentioned above, since the skin is made of a layer having a thickness, there is a problem in that it is necessary to perform repetitive treatment by replacing the cartridge which generates other HIFU energy for obesity management or skin care (for example, skin lifting) However, in the present embodiment, in order to enable multi-layer skin treatment, a cartridge for generating a plurality of frequencies (for example, a plurality of frequencies of 1 to 3 MHz) at the same time in the management of obesity can be attached, Also, at the time of skin care, a cartridge for generating a plurality of frequencies (for example, a plurality of frequencies of 4 to 7 MHz) can be attached at the same time, so that multiple layers of skin can be simultaneously treated.

At this time, the cartridge mounted on the probe (or the handpiece) may be formed such that a transducer for irradiating each HIFU energy with an ultrasonic wave is formed to be opposed to each other at a predetermined angle. In order to increase the effect of the HIFU energy, (See FIG. 3).

Of course, as described above, it is also possible to attach a cartridge which generates a plurality of frequencies (for example, 1 MHz, 4 MHz) so as to simultaneously perform the skin-obesity management, so that the skin multi-layer can be performed all at once.

Therefore, after allowing the user to purchase a beauty care device (or a dual-high-pressure-based skin and obesity care device according to the present embodiment), it is possible to purchase and install additional cartridges only in accordance with the purpose, And it is possible to perform various procedures required by the user by using one beauty care device (or a dual high-hip-based skin and obesity care device according to the present embodiment).

On the other hand, the cartridge includes a transducer and ultrapure water.

Here, the ultrapure water refers to pure water in which almost all the contaminants in the water have been removed through a complicated process. For example, the impurities in the tap water are about 100 ppm, while the impurities in the ultrapure water are less than 10 ppb.

Since pure water is almost an insulator level, it becomes a material that does not pass through electricity. Therefore, ultrasonic waves pass through the skin smoothly while preventing direct contact of the transducer with the skin, thereby blocking electric conduction and cooling the heat generated by the transducer have.

However, as the use time of the transducer increases, the ultrapure water also becomes contaminated. As the impurities in the water increase due to the contamination, the electric conductivity increases, and when ultrapure water is continuously heated, There is a problem that failure occurs before use according to the life of the original product.

Therefore, there is a case where an overheat interruption board is installed to prevent the overheat by automatically shutting off the operation of the transducer when a certain temperature (for example, overheating year) is reached. However, since the hot water is not quickly cooled, There is a problem that the skin care (or obesity management) effect is deteriorated because the operation of the transducer must be blocked for a considerable time in order to cool. That is, although the manager performs the skin management (or obesity management) operation apparently, the operation of the transducer is interrupted internally of the beauty care device, so that there is a problem that the substantial skin care effect does not occur.

In other words, the beauty care device is not intended to carry out the operation of keeping the temperature constant, but it is intended to convert the HIFU energy into ultrasound during the beauty care and to project the HIFU energy continuously to the skin to be managed , It means that the temperature management operation of the existing superheat blocking board as described above is not suitable for maintaining or improving the original effect of the beauty care device.

Therefore, the present invention according to one embodiment is characterized not only to measure the temperature of the probe (or handpiece) but also to perform a more accurate temperature management operation by measuring the temperature of the ultrapure water.

The present embodiment is not limited to simply preventing overheating of the probe (or the cartridge mounted on the probe), and can be achieved by forcibly adjusting the temperature of the probe to a desired target temperature according to the season or the operation state of the beauty care device, And the like.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a dual high-hip-based skin and an obesity care device capable of simultaneously outputting energy to a skin multilayer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4, the dual-hipup-based skin and obesity care device according to the present embodiment includes a transducer 110, a temperature detector 120, a timer 130, a storage unit 140, a controller 150, a driving unit 160, a display unit 170, a temperature controller 180, and a pump 190.

The transducer 110 converts the HIFU energy generated inside the cartridge into ultrasound and projects it onto the skin.

The transducer 110 generates a permeable frequency according to a function selected by the user (e.g., an obesity management function, a skin (skin) management function, a skin (obesity) management function), and a skin characteristic of a client.

The temperature detector 120 detects the temperature of the ultra pure water contained in the cartridge.

However, it should be noted that the ultrapure water may be replaced with other materials by cooling the transducer and inserting the transducer between the skin of the recipient and the ultrasonic wave generated by the transducer so as to permeate the skin . Therefore, when the ultrapure water is replaced with another material, the temperature detector 120 detects the temperature of the replaced material.

When the transducer 110 starts to be driven, the control unit 150 uses the timer 130 to measure the temperature of the ultrapure water (i.e., the cartridge temperature) Overheat temperature) is checked.

As described above, as the use time of the beauty care device increases, the concentration of the impurities in the ultrapure water increases, and thus the time for reaching the specified ultrapure water is gradually shortened as the conductivity is increased.

Accordingly, the control unit 150 checks the time at which the ultrapure water reaches the designated specific temperature from the first driving time, and determines the remaining life of the ultrapure water or the transducer 110 according to the time when the ultrapure water reaches the specified specific temperature Can be estimated. That is, since the ultrapure water does not play a normal role, the lifespan of the transducer 110 is shortened in proportion to the lifetime of the ultrapure water.

Therefore, the controller 150 controls the ultrapure water or the transducer 110 (i.e., the ultrapure water or the ultrapure water) based on the time when the ultrapure water reaches a specified temperature (i.e., the time when the beauty care device is first turned on, The user can be informed of the remaining service life through the display unit 170 or a replacement warning can be issued.

Also, when the concentration of the impurities in the ultrapure water increases as described above, the temperature of the water rapidly increases or decreases rapidly according to the temperature control operation as compared with the rate of change of the pure water.

Accordingly, the control unit 150 controls the temperature of the skin care device to be lowered by a predetermined temperature (for example, after the beauty care device reaches the specified temperature at the selected function frequency, The number of times out of the range, the time, or the combination of the number of times and the time), and estimates the remaining life of the ultrapure water or the transducer 110 according to the degree that the average temperature change range per hour deviates from the preset average temperature change range .

Therefore, the control unit 150 can determine the remaining lifetime of the ultrapure water or the transducer 110 based on the degree of the average temperature change rate per hour deviating from the preset average temperature change range, You can guide the remaining life span or give a replacement warning.

If the ultrapure water or the transducer 110 is a cartridge detachable type, the remaining lifetime is the ultrapure water or the transducer 110 Life.

At this time, reference data for determining the remaining lifetime of the ultrapure water or the transducer 110 based on the time at which the ultrapure water reaches the specified specific temperature, and reference data for determining whether the average temperature change range per hour exceeds the predetermined average temperature change range The reference data for determining the remaining lifetime of the ultra pure water or the transducer 110 can be stored in advance in the storage unit 140 in the form of a look-up table.

In addition, the controller 150 checks whether the ultrapure water reaches a specific temperature (e.g., a superheat temperature) specified by frequency, and when the ultrapure water reaches a specified temperature (e.g., overheat temperature) do.

For example, supposing that ultrasound of a specific frequency is output at 10 to 20 W, when the ultrapure water reaches a specified temperature (for example, overheat temperature) for each frequency, the controller 150 controls the driving unit 160, The output can be adjusted to 20 (mW). If the ultrapure water exceeds a specified temperature (for example, overheat temperature), the controller 150 cuts off the current or even if the predetermined temperature is lower than the specific temperature (for example, the overheat temperature) If it is maintained, the current may be cut off.

As described above, the present embodiment does not stop the operation of the transducer 110 when the temperature of the ultrapure water reaches the specified specific temperature (for example, the overheat temperature), but adjusts the output of the corresponding frequency, Care functions (such as skin care functions, obesity management functions, and skin-obesity management functions) can be performed continuously.

At this time, a message for guiding the remaining life of the cartridge (or ultrapure water, transducer) or warning of replacement may be outputted as sound or sound through a sound output unit (e.g., speaker) (not shown).

However, in order to prevent the ultrapure water from exceeding the predetermined temperature (for example, the overheating temperature) as described above, the method of controlling the output of the ultrasonic wave for the predetermined time is not limited to the advantage that the beauty care function is continuously performed However, the effectiveness of the beauty care function is less than normal.

Therefore, as another embodiment according to the present invention, not only the temperature of the probe (or the cartridge mounted on the probe) is lowered to the superheat temperature or less, but the temperature difference between the probe and skin contacting the skin of the user for beauty care In order to alleviate the user's discomfort (or tension) and to improve the satisfaction, it is desirable that the state of the beauty care device (e.g., the first operating state, the continuous operating state, the state operating in seasonal summer, The temperature of the cartridge can be raised or lowered in accordance with the preset one or more target temperatures and the temperature of the probe (or the cartridge mounted on the probe).

At this time, the target temperature may be set to be smaller than a specific temperature (for example, an overheating temperature) at which the ultrapure water is overheated, thereby preventing deterioration of the ultrapure water and prolonging the life of the ultrapure water remarkably.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a schematic apparatus for temperature control of a skin and an obesity care apparatus based on a dual high-furoscope capable of simultaneously outputting energy to a skin multi-layer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the dual hip-based skin and obesity care device according to the present embodiment includes a circulation water pipe 200 that rotates around a cartridge mounted on a probe, A pump 190 for pumping and accelerating the circulating water circulated in the circulating water pipe 200 and a temperature controller 180 for heating or cooling the temperature of the circulating water circulated in the circulating water pipe 200.

The circulation water pipe 200 may be formed of a plurality of materials.

For example, a portion (for example, a coil shape) surrounding the periphery of the cartridge in the circulating water pipe 200 is formed of a material having a good temperature transfer characteristic (for example, copper) And may be formed of a good elastic material (e.g., rubber or the like).

Under the control of the controller 150, the pump 190 adjusts the speed at which the rotational speed is accelerated and decelerated to circulate the circulating water.

For example, if the temperature of the cartridge is to be rapidly regulated to a desired target temperature, the circulation rate of the circulation water can be accelerated. If the temperature of the cartridge is a desired target temperature, The circulation speed can be reduced.

The temperature controller 180 controls the temperature of the cartridge by raising or lowering the temperature of the circulating water under the control of the controller 150.

At this time, in the present embodiment, not only the purpose of lowering the temperature of the cartridge to prevent overheating but also the state of the beauty care device (e.g., the first operation state, the continuous operation state, The temperature of the cartridge is raised or lowered according to the body temperature of the user in accordance with the temperature of the user's body and the temperature of the cartridge is adjusted to adjust the temperature of the cartridge, And it is an object of the present invention to solve the discomfort (or tension) of the user due to the temperature difference between them and to improve the satisfaction.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of a dual high-hip-based skin and an obesity care device capable of simultaneously outputting energy to a skin multilayer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, the controller 150 detects an input of an operation-on switch for driving the beauty care device (S101).

Typically, the operation-on switch is mounted on the body of the beauty care device, but may also be mounted on the probe. The function of the beauty care device according to the present embodiment can be used by the operation-on switch, and the detailed function of the beauty care device can be realized by a separate function switch (for example, a skin care switch, Skin (skin) - obesity care switch, management temperature control switch, etc.).

For convenience, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the beauty care apparatus is in a standby state when the operation-on switch is input, and that the beauty care operation is performed when the function switch is input.

The prosthesis of the beauty care device according to the present embodiment includes a grip portion that can be held by the beauty care manager and a contact portion (e.g., cartridge) that contacts the user's skin.

At this time, when the beauty care device is used for the first time, the contact portion is made of a metal material, which is the same as the atmospheric temperature, which is different from the skin temperature of the user (i.e., body temperature).

Therefore, if the administrator starts beauty care immediately after inputting the operation-on switch of the beauty care device, the user may instantaneously feel discomfort or tension (e.g., discomfort due to coldness) due to the difference between the skin temperature Or tension). This feeling can be felt especially during the winter.

On the other hand, when the beauty care device is continuously used for another user, since the temperature of the previously used probe is not easily cooled, the other user instantaneously feels uncomfortable feeling or tension (e.g., discomfort or tension due to the heat).

Of course, since the gel is applied to the probe, it does not damage the skin of the user, but as a user, the user will not be satisfied from the moment of starting beauty care.

Accordingly, when the operation-on switch is input, the control unit 150 controls the temperature of the circulating water to the first target temperature preset through the temperature controller 180, and pumping the circulating water through the circulating water pipe 200 (S102).

For example, the first target temperature is a temperature corresponding to the body temperature of the user, the first target temperature is set as a default, and can be changed by an administrator.

Further, the first target temperature may be a temperature for the first time when the beauty care device is used for the first time (for example, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the last use last time), or after the beauty care device has been used last time, It is the temperature that is set for the user.

After the control unit 150 adjusts the circulating water to the first target temperature and starts circulating the circulating water pipe 200, the controller 150 checks whether the temperature of the cartridge (or ultrapure water) is actually the first target temperature (S103).

When the temperature of the cartridge (or ultrapure water) reaches the first target temperature (YES in S103), the control unit 150 displays the beauty care standby state (S104).

The beauty care standby state may be displayed through the display unit 170 of the beauty care apparatus or may be displayed through illumination means (not shown) mounted on the probe.

In the beauty care standby state, even when the beauty care is started, since the temperature difference between the probe and the user's body temperature is not generated, the user does not feel discomfort or tension (e.g., discomfort or tense due to cold or hot).

When the beauty care standby state is established as described above, the control unit 150 detects whether beauty care is started (S105).

For example, the control unit 150 detects the input of a beauty care function switch (e.g., skin (skin) care switch, obesity care switch, skin (skin) It can be judged.

When the start of the beauty care is detected (YES in step S105), the controller 150 controls the temperature of the circulating water to a predetermined second target temperature through the temperature controller 180, The pump is pumped through the pump 190 so that the water is circulated (S106).

For example, the second target temperature is a temperature that is adjusted to have a cool or hot feeling according to the taste of the user, wherein the temperature having a cool feeling is a temperature set lower than the body temperature, It is a temperature set higher than body temperature. That is, even after the temperature of the cartridge (or the ultrapure water) gradually changes from the first target temperature to the second target temperature after the start of the beauty care, the user does not feel a sense of heterogeneity and therefore the user's beauty care satisfaction can be maintained .

In order to keep the temperature of the cartridge (or ultrapure water) constant while the beauty care device is being used, the controller 150 controls the circulation rate of the circulation water to maintain the temperature of the probe at the second target temperature And the temperature of the circulating water can be regulated to be lower than the second target temperature through the temperature regulator 180.

Also, the controller 150 detects whether the beauty care performed or the operation-off switch is input (S107).

When the beauty care is terminated or an operation off switch is input (YES in step S107), the controller 150 adjusts the temperature of the circulating water to a third target temperature set in advance through the temperature controller 180, 200 through the pump 190 to circulate the circulating water (S108).

For example, the third target temperature may be the same as the first target temperature, and the third target temperature may be a lower temperature if the second target temperature is a temperature designated to have a hot feeling, The third target temperature may be a higher temperature if the second target temperature is a temperature designated to have a cool feeling.

After the control unit 150 adjusts the circulating water to the third target temperature and starts circulating the circulating water pipe 200, the controller 150 checks whether the temperature of the cartridge (or ultrapure water) is actually the third target temperature (S109).

When the temperature of the cartridge (or ultrapure water) reaches the third target temperature (YES in S109), the controller 150 ends the circulating water pumping (S110).

As described above, the present embodiment manages the temperature of the cartridge (or ultrapure water) at a much lower temperature than the overheat temperature, thereby prolonging the life of the cartridge drastically. Also, the temperature of the cartridge during beauty care is changed according to the user's skin temperature So that it is possible to eliminate the unpleasant feeling of the user and improve the satisfaction.
