Beauty treatment device for uniformly irradiating light energy}

The present invention relates to a cosmetic treatment device, and more specifically, to a cosmetic treatment device that uniformly irradiates light energy to minimize skin damage.

Recently, the spread of home beauty treatment devices that allow users to perform beauty treatments such as hair removal and skin care at home is increasing.

These home beauty treatment devices lower barriers to beauty treatments and increase accessibility by allowing users to conveniently perform beauty treatments at their own home and whenever they want.

Meanwhile, as the spread of home beauty treatment devices increases, the performance of home beauty treatment devices is improving dramatically compared to before, and the effectiveness of the treatment is also increasing.

For example, a cosmetic treatment that can perform hair removal and massage functions by irradiating light or high frequency waves, or perform a suction function that can suction the user's skin and stimulate the raised area intensively. Devices are being developed.

To this end, the cosmetic treatment device may include an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) light source or a flash lamp that performs a hair removal function to remove hair by necroticizing hair follicles and the surrounding hair follicles of the skin using light with high output energy.

The hair removal function using the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) light source focuses light of a specific wavelength on the melanin pigment for selective photothermolysis, which heats and damages the hair follicle and its surroundings, causing damage. This is the principle of hair removal.

If this light energy is excessively irradiated to the user's skin, there is a risk that the skin temperature will increase and side effects such as burns may occur.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic treatment device that prevents light energy from being excessively irradiated to part of the user's skin by allowing light energy to be irradiated uniformly to the user's skin.

You can.

At this time, the suction line includes: a suction port disposed on one side of the header toward the skin; And it may include a suction flow path that communicates with the suction port and transports air sucked through the suction port to the suction source.

At this time, the cooling line includes a cooling passage that transports air from the suction source; And it may include a cooling port formed on one side of the header portion, connected to the cooling passage, and discharging air from the cooling passage to the treatment space.

According to the above configuration, the cosmetic treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed in a curved shape so that the light source corresponds to the user's skin, so that the light energy is uniformly irradiated to the user's skin and the light energy is transmitted to the user's skin. Prevent excessive irradiation of some parts of the body.

In addition, as light energy is uniformly irradiated to the user's skin, the performance of the cosmetic treatment is prevented from being deteriorated due to the inability to irradiate the appropriate amount of light energy required to a part of the user's skin.

In addition, by discharging the air sucked in during the process of sucking the user's skin during a beauty treatment back to the user's skin under predetermined conditions, it has the effect of cooling the heat applied to the user's skin and soothing the skin.

In addition, by sucking in the air in the treatment space through the suction line and transporting it through the cooling line, the temperature of the air is naturally lowered and this air is discharged back into the treatment space (S1), thereby stably protecting the user's skin in a fever state. It has a gradual calming effect.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing an irradiation unit of a cosmetic treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view showing an irradiation unit of a cosmetic treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 5 is an embodiment of the present invention. This is a diagram schematically showing how light is irradiated to a user's skin using the irradiation unit of a cosmetic treatment device.

With reference to Figures 3 to 5, let's look at the irradiation part of the cosmetic treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention in detail.

The irradiation unit 140 includes a light source 141 in an arch shape, a reflection unit 142 disposed to be spaced apart from the light source, and a filter unit 144 coupled to the reflection unit 142.

The light source 141 is formed in the form of a curved rod having a predetermined length.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, the light source 141 has an arch shape and can irradiate light in a direction perpendicular to the raised portion of the user's skin.

In this way, as light is irradiated in a direction perpendicular to the raised part of the user's skin, it prevents the appropriate amount of light energy from being supplied to the tip of the raised skin, so light is irradiated to the tip of the raised skin. To do this, damage to the user's skin due to excessive supply of light energy is prevented.

In addition, as the light source 141 irradiates light in a direction perpendicular to the raised portion of the user's skin, light energy is uniformly supplied to the raised skin, preventing damage to the user's skin by unnecessarily irradiating light. is prevented.

The reflector 142 is arranged to be spaced apart from the light source 141 and has an arch shape to correspond to the light source 141. Then, the light emitted from the light source 141 is reflected by the reflector 142, and the light reflected by the reflector 142 is irradiated to the raised skin.

At this time, the light reflected by the reflector 142 is irradiated in a perpendicular direction to the raised skin, so light energy is uniformly supplied to the raised skin, thereby preventing damage to the user's skin by unnecessarily irradiating light. is prevented from happening.

Meanwhile, one side 141a of the light source 141 is provided with a first terminal 141c for electrical connection with the outside, and a second terminal 141c is provided on the other side 141b of the light source 141 for electrical connection with the outside. A terminal 141d is provided.

A second connection portion 145b is provided that is electrically connected to the second terminal 141d. The first connection part 145a and the second connection part 145b serve to transmit external power to the light source 141 through the first terminal 141c and the second terminal 141d.

The filter unit 144 is disposed in the treatment space T of the header unit 120.

And, the filter unit 144 is combined with the reflection unit 142. At this time, the filter unit 144 surrounds the light source 141 together with the reflection unit 142. In addition, the filter unit 144 absorbs wavelengths in a specific range from the light from the light source 141 or the light reflected by the reflector 142 and filters them so that they are not irradiated to the user's skin.

Accordingly, the filter unit 144 prevents light in an unnecessary wavelength band from being irradiated to the user's skin during the cosmetic treatment process, thereby maximizing the effect of the cosmetic treatment and preventing damage to the user's skin.

Additionally, a coating layer that filters transmission of a specific wavelength may be applied to one side 144a of the filter unit 144.

Additionally, the filter unit 144 may be formed in an arch shape to correspond to the light source 141. In addition, the filter unit 144 can be maintained spaced apart from the raised skin. Accordingly, the filter unit 144 is prevented from coming into contact with the raised skin and increasing the sensitivity of the user's skin.

In addition, according to various embodiments of the present invention, the filter unit 144 is not limited to having an arch shape, but may be formed in various shapes such as a flat plate to the extent that it does not come into contact with the user's skin during the cosmetic procedure. .
