Description

Sapphire cooling intense pulsed light hair remover apparatus

The present invention relates to a light pulse cooling epilator using sapphire that removes body hair while emitting light in the form of periodic light pulses.

Recently, a light pulse epilator using an intense pulsed light that emits light having a wavelength band of a certain range in the form of periodic pulses has been in the spotlight.

Light pulse epilator has superior hair removal effect compared to traditional hair removal method, has the advantage of realizing the effect of permanent hair removal due to less damage to the skin and quick recovery.

In order to solve this problem, recently, a light pulse epilator has been developed in which a cooling mechanism is installed around the light emitting part to appropriately cool the skin to alleviate the stinging feeling.

However, the cooling mechanism of the conventional optical pulse epilator dissipates heat by a heat conduction method, and as outdoor air flows in and out through the gap between the cooling mechanism and the assembly connection part of the epilator body, the heat dissipation (cooling) performance is deteriorated. It has the problem of not effectively alleviating feelings.

In addition, when outside air flows in and out through the assembly connection gap, cold air flows into the epilator body, which has a relatively high temperature, and dew condensation occurs inside the epilator body. do.

The main body 100 is provided with a handle so that the user can easily hold and use it, and an accommodation space in which the hair removal unit 200 , the cooling unit 300 , and the heat dissipation unit 400 are installed is formed on the upper side of the handle. .

In addition, the main body 100 has a first vent 110 and a second vent 120 formed to communicate with the receiving space. Outside air is introduced into the first vent 110 , and bet air is discharged through the second vent 120 .

The hair removal unit 200 is installed in the receiving space to be located at the front end of the main body 100 to remove hair using a light pulse.

And the cooling unit 300 is installed to be located in front of the hair removal unit (200).

The cooling unit 300 includes a sapphire glass 310 in contact with the skin and a Peltier component 320 in contact with the sapphire glass 310 .

The Peltier element 320 is a thermoelectric element having a characteristic that when a current flows after bonding two different types of metal, the temperature of one side (heat dissipation side) rises and the temperature falls on the other side (cool heat side). As an environmentally friendly It has a working method, so it is applied to electric heaters, refrigerators, and air conditioners, which are home appliances that require constant rise or fall in temperature.

Accordingly, the cooling and heating side of the Peltier element 320 is in contact with the sapphire glass 310, and the sapphire glass 310 is cooled by continuously receiving cold air from the Peltier element 320.

Meanwhile, the hair removal unit 200 includes a lamp 210 irradiating light in the form of periodic light pulses toward the sapphire glass 310 , and an optical filter positioned between the lamp 210 and the sapphire glass 310 . 220 and a semi-light plate 230 formed to surround the rear of the lamp 210 may be provided.

Accordingly, when the lamp 210 emits light, the light irradiated from the lamp 210 by the semi-light plate 230 illuminates the front of the sapphire through the optical filter 220 located in front of the lamp 210 . Light of a specific wavelength band (640 nm) is emitted in the form of periodic pulses toward the glass 310 .

The heat dissipation unit 400 is installed in the receiving space of the main body 100 to remove heat from the cooling unit 300 .

To this end, the heat dissipation unit 400 includes a heat dissipation tube 410 having one side connected to the heat dissipation side of the Peltier element 320 , and a heat dissipation plate 420 connected to the other side of the heat dissipation tube 410 .

Accordingly, the heat from the heat dissipation side of the Peltier element 320 is conducted along the heat dissipation tube 410 to the heat dissipation plate 420, and the heat dissipation with the outside air introduced through the first vent 110 in the heat dissipation plate 420 is promoted. cooling takes place.

Meanwhile, the housing 500 is installed in the receiving space of the main body 100 .

The housing 500 is installed to surround the hair removal unit 200 and the heat sink 420 to prevent cold air from the cooling unit 300 from flowing into the hair removal unit 200 .

The housing 500 has an open front end, a first vent passage 510 communicating with the first vent 110 with the heat sink 420 interposed therebetween, and a second vent passage 510 communicating with the second vent 120 . A ventilation passage 520 is provided.

In addition, a fan (Fan; 600) is installed inside the main body (100).

The fan 600 promotes air movement between the first ventilation passage 510 and the second ventilation passage 520 .

In addition, a condenser 700 for supplying power to the hair removal unit 200 , the cooling unit 300 , and the fan 600 is installed inside the handle portion of the main body 100 .

And, an operation switch 800 for controlling the operation of the condenser 700 is installed on the outside of the handle portion.

Meanwhile, a mounting panel 240 for mounting the sapphire glass 310 may be installed in front of the optical filter 220 .

In this case, the mounting panel 240 has a mounting hole 242 in which the sapphire glass 310 is mounted together with the fastening part 241 fastened to the open front end of the housing 500 .

In addition, the optical filter 220 is closely coupled to the rear surface of the mounting panel 240 , and the optical filter 220 and the sapphire glass 310 are formed on the edge of the optical filter 220 through the mounting hole 242 . A gasket 250 for sealing that blocks the communication is inserted and coupled.

On the other hand, a sensing panel 243 for sensing contact with the skin through pressure is fitted and coupled to the outside of the sapphire glass 310 .

In addition, a head cover 130 supporting the edge of the sensing panel 243 is coupled to the front end of the main body 100 .

In this case, a control unit (not shown) is connected to the sensing panel 243 . The control unit receives a skin contact signal from the sensing panel 243 , controls the operations of the hair removal unit 200 , the cooling unit 300 , and the fan 600 , and transmits the light of the lamp 210 in a pulse form of a specific wavelength band. controlled to be emitted.

The optical pulse cooling epilator using sapphire of the present invention configured as described above operates as follows.

First, when the operation switch 800 is turned on and the sapphire glass 310 is in close contact with the skin to be removed, the sensing panel 243 senses the contact between the sapphire glass 310 and the skin, and the sensing panel 243 ), the control unit receives the contact signal and controls power to be supplied from the condenser 700 to the hair removal unit 200 , the cooling unit 300 , and the fan 600 .

The power supplied to the hair removal unit 200 causes the lamp 210 to emit light. Then, the light irradiated from the lamp 210 passes through the sapphire glass 310 through the optical filter 220 located in the front, and then is emitted in the form of periodic pulses of a specific wavelength band (640 nm) to the skin.

As a result, hair removal is performed while removing the hair follicles in the skin.

On the other hand, when power is supplied to the cooling unit 300 , the Peltier element 320 is operated and the Schaffefer glass in contact with the cooling/heating side of the Peltier element 320 starts to cool, and the sapphire glass 310 is cooled due to hair removal. You won't feel any pain due to the heat you feel.

And, the heat generated from the heat dissipation side of the Peltier element 320 is conducted along the heat dissipation tube 410 to the heat dissipation plate 420, and the heat dissipation plate 420 promotes heat exchange with air while cooling is performed.

At this time, the heat exchange with air made by the heat sink 420 is performed by the fan 600 installed inside the body 100 .

That is, when the fan 600 operates, external air flows in from the first vent 110 while negative pressure is applied inside the housing 500 and passes through the heat sink 420 through the first vent passage 510 and this During the process, heat is exchanged and the temperature rises. And the air whose temperature rises while passing through the heat sink 420 is quickly discharged to the outside of the main body 100 through the second vent 120 via the second vent passage 520 .

In addition, the fan 600 also functions to prevent the temperature rise of the inside of the housing 500 and the heat dissipation unit 400 by quickly discharging the heat inside the housing 500 to the outside.

As such, in the present invention, since the heat dissipation unit 400 quickly removes the heat of the Peltier element 320, the cooling state of the sapphire glass 310 is stably maintained.

At this time, there is a large temperature difference between the temperature of the sapphire glass 310 and the lamp 210 , and the sealing gasket 250 fitted to the edge of the optical filter 220 is coupled to the mounting hole 242 of the mounting panel 240 . ) through the sapphire glass 310 to block the inflow of the cold air to the optical filter 220 side, so that dew condensation does not occur inside the hair removal unit 200 .

Accordingly, since an accident in which the hair removal unit 200 is short-circuited due to dew condensation is prevented, safe use without failure is ensured.

8 is a rear bottom perspective view of the hair removal unit according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a front perspective view of the hair removal unit for showing the installation state of the sealing plate according to another embodiment of the present invention. The optical filter 220 and the optical filter 220 through the mounting hole 242 between the optical filter 220 and the rear surface of the mounting panel 240 instead of the sealing gasket 250 fitted to the edge of the optical filter 220 and coupled. A sealing plate 260 that blocks the sapphire glass 310 from being communicated may be positioned.

In this case, the sealing plate 260 exposes the optical filter 220 and the front part 261 is closely attached along the front edge of the optical filter 220, and the front part 261 is rearward from the top and bottom of the front part 261, respectively. The support end 262 which is formed to extend to the upper end and the lower end of the housing 500 and is formed to extend on both sides of the front portion 261 to be in close contact with the fastening portion 241 of the mounting panel 240 . A fixed end 263 may be provided.

Accordingly, the sealing plate 260 can be easily and conveniently installed between the optical filter 220 and the rear surface of the mounting panel 240 without using a separate fastening member through the support end 262 and the fixed end 263 . is done

Since the sealing plate 260 having such a configuration is positioned between the optical filter 220 and the rear surface of the mounting panel 240 , it is not directly exposed to the heat generated from the lamp 210 .

Accordingly, since deformation due to deterioration is relatively minimized compared to the gasket 250 for sealing exposed to the heat emitted from the lamp 210, the airtight maintenance between the optical filter 220 and the sapphire glass 310 is more perfect. will lose

As such, although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and a person skilled in the art can modify it without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
