By combining the first case 111 and the second case 112, an internal space of the case 110 may be formed. The second case 112 may include a second outer case 112b and a second inner case 112a.

The second outer case 112b may be coupled to the outer surface of the second inner case 112a and cover the second inner case 112a. Accordingly, the aesthetics of the skin care device 100 and the skin care system 1000 can be improved because the coupling structures or coupling parts formed in the second inner case 112a are not exposed to the outside.

A main circuit board 175 on which the processor 1100 and the memory 1200 are mounted may be placed in the internal space of the case 110. Additionally, a battery 186 configured to supply power to components of the skin care device 100 and the skin care system 1000 may be disposed in the internal space of the case 110. The battery 186 may be a rechargeable primary or secondary battery, but is not limited thereto.

Case 110 may further include ballast 113 (ballast). The ballast 113 may be coupled to the inner surface of the first case 111. The ballast 113 may include a first ballast 113a and a second ballast 113b. The first ballast 113a and the second ballast 113b may be arranged to be spaced apart from each other. By selecting the ballast 113 having a predetermined weight, the skin care device 100 can have an overall sense of weight, and thus the user can hold the skin care device 100 more stably. .

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , the skin care device 100 and the skin care system 1000 may further include a radiation area adjusting unit 190.

The irradiation area control unit 190 may be configured to adjust the irradiation area of light emitted from the LED element 180 toward the user's skin. For example, the irradiation area control unit 190 may adjust the irradiation area of light from the LED element 180 distributed to the outside through the glass plate 130.

The description of the irradiation area control unit 190 in FIGS. 7 to 8 refers to the first LED element 181 linked to the first glass plate 131 and the second LED element linked to the second glass plate 132. The same can be applied to (182). Specifically, the irradiation area control unit 190 is installed at a position adjacent to the first glass plate 131 and the second glass plate 132 corresponding to the first LED element 181 and the second LED element 182. It may consist of a pair, but is not limited to this.

According to various embodiments, the radiation area adjusting unit 190 may include a body unit 191 and a guide unit 192.

According to one embodiment, the body portion 191 may be mounted on the sub-circuit board 170. The body portion 191 may be combined with the guide portion 192. The guide portion 192 may be configured to limit the path of light emitted from the LED element 180 by sliding or rotating relative to the body portion 191.

Referring to FIG. 7, the body portion 191 may include a motor module (not shown) that slides and moves the guide portion 192. For example, the motor module may include a drive motor installed in the body portion 191, a pinion gear connected to the drive motor, and a rack gear meshed with the pinion gear. At least a portion of the guide unit 192 is connected to the rack gear, thereby limiting the path of light emitted from the LED element 180 according to the slide movement of the rack gear. For example, when the guide part 192 slides in a direction away from the body part 191 (e.g., X1 direction in FIG. 7), the guide part 192 moves at least some of the plurality of LED elements 180. It can be placed to obscure it. Accordingly, among the plurality of LED elements 180, light emitted from the LED element 180 obscured by the guide unit 192 cannot reach the glass plate 130. In addition, among the plurality of LED elements 180, the light emitted from the LED element 180 that is not covered by the guide unit 192 reaches the glass plate 130 and passes through the glass plate 130 to the user's skin. can be reached. Meanwhile, when the guide part 192 slides in a direction approaching the body part 191 (e.g., the It won't happen. In this way, the guide part 192 can be slidably moved with respect to the body part 191 to control the opening and closing of the plurality of LED elements 180, thereby controlling the light of the LED elements 180 passing through the glass plate 130. It can be limited. Therefore, the irradiation area of light passing through the glass plate 130 can be adjusted.

Referring to FIG. 8, the body portion 191 may include a motor module (not shown) that slides and moves the guide portion 192. For example, the motor module may include a drive motor installed in the body portion 191. At least one portion of the guide unit 192 is connected to the rotation axis of the drive motor, thereby limiting the path of light emitted from the LED element 180 according to the rotation of the drive motor. For example, when the guide unit 192 is arranged so as not to block the plurality of LED elements 180, the irradiation area of light passing through the glass plate 130 can be secured as the width or width of the glass plate 130. there is. In one embodiment, when the guide unit 192 is rotated by a drive motor and disposed as shown in FIG. 8, the guide unit 192 receives irradiation from at least some of the LED elements 180 among the plurality of LED elements 180. The path of light can be changed. To this end, the guide unit 192 may include a reflective material (eg, a mirror). At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the light emitted from the LED element 180 disposed on the outermost side may have its path changed by the guide unit 192 and reach the central portion of the glass plate 130. Accordingly, light emitted from the LED elements 180 can pass only through the area A1 of the glass plate 130 that is smaller than the area where the plurality of LED elements 180 are disposed. Accordingly, the light emitted from the LED element 180 can be concentrated in the limited area A1.

Referring to FIG. 9 , the skin care system 1000 may include the components of the skin care device 100 and the skin care system 1000 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8 as examples.

The sound wave module 1500 provides ultrasonic waves to the galvanic plate 120, allowing ultrasonic waves to reach the user's skin. Accordingly, when a user uses the skin care device 100 of the present invention while applying cosmetics to the skin, there is an advantage that the cosmetics can be better absorbed into the user's skin due to the micro-vibration of ultrasonic waves.

The communication module 1700 may be configured to be communicatively connected to a user device (eg, a smartphone). As an example, the communication module 1700 may be an antenna module, but is not limited thereto. Information entered by the user into the user device may be transmitted to the processor 1100 through the communication module 1700. The memory 1200 may include volatile memory 1200 or non-volatile memory 1200.
