(Example)

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing a skin massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a skin massage device shown in Figure 1, Figure 3 is a line III-III shown in Figure 2 It is sectional drawing which shows.

Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the skin massage device includes a housing 100, a skin adsorption unit 200 for adsorbing the skin by negative pressure generated inside by contacting the skin, and a user's manual. It includes a negative pressure generating unit 300 for forming a negative pressure inside the skin adsorption unit 200 by the operation.

The housing 100 includes a gripping portion 110 in which the negative pressure generating unit 300 is installed, and a tip portion 130 extending above the gripping portion 110 and having the skin adsorption portion 200 installed therein.

The gripping portion 110 is formed to have a predetermined length so as to be easily gripped by the user, and one side is opened so that the push button 340 is slidably installed in a substantially perpendicular direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion 110. The groove 111 is formed, and the second sliding groove 113 in which the piston member 350 formed in a substantially perpendicular direction to the first sliding groove 111 is slidably installed is formed inside the grip portion 110. In addition, the gripping portion 110 is formed with a limiting jaw 114 for limiting the movable distance of the piston member 350 inside, the cylinder portion 115 is in communication with the second sliding groove 113 is formed. In this case, a cap 116 having an air discharge hole 117 is coupled to the lower portion of the cylinder 115.

The front end portion 130 is formed with an insertion groove 131 at a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the grip portion 110, the skin adsorption portion 200 is detachably installed in the insertion groove 131.

In this case, as the inner cup 220 is formed to have a shorter length than the outer cup 210, the front end 221 of the inner cup 220 is positioned inside the front end 211 of the outer cup 210. As such, the step formed by the outer cup 210 and the inner cup 220 may be in close contact with the tip of the inner cup 220 and the tip 211 of the outer cup 210 in response to the bending of the body. Accordingly, even if air is introduced between the skin S in contact with the tip 211 of the outer cup 210 and the vacuum inside the outer cup 210 is released, the vacuum inside the inner cup 220 can be maintained as it is. .

On the other hand, the outer cup 210 is inserted in a state in which the outer peripheral surface is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the insertion groove 131 of the housing 100. The inner cup 220 has a rear end inserted into the locking groove 213 inside the outer cup 210, and the protruding tube 223 formed at the rear of the inner cup 220 penetrates the rear end of the outer cup 210. . In this case, as the clamping nut 230 is fastened to the protruding pipe 223, the outer cup 210 and the inner cup 220 are firmly fastened to each other.

In addition, the inner cup 220 communicates with the expansion pipe 310 to be described later through the protruding pipe 223, and is also contracted by the negative pressure generated inside the inner cup 220 to slightly deform the shape, and then the negative pressure again. When released, it may be made of a soft material so that it can be restored to its original shape. Accordingly, the inner cup 220 may strongly adsorb the skin through the high negative pressure generated therein.

The negative pressure generating unit 300 includes an expansion pipe 310, an extension pipe 320, a movable unit 330, and elastic members 361 and 363.

The expansion pipe 310 is made of a material having an elastic restoring force such that the elastic pipe 310 is contracted by a negative pressure generated inside and restored to a circular shape when the negative pressure is released. One side of the expansion pipe 310 is communicatively coupled to the protruding tube 223 of the inner cup 220.

One end of the extension pipe 320 is connected to the other side of the expansion pipe 310 to serve as a flow path for discharging air existing in the skin adsorption unit 200 and the expansion pipe 310. The extension pipe 320 is made of a material having a predetermined strength so that the deformation is not made by the negative pressure generated unlike the expansion pipe 310. In addition, the extension pipe 320 is disposed inside the housing 100 along the longitudinal direction of the housing 100 to communicate with the cylinder portion 115 of the housing 100.

The movable unit 330 discharges the internal air of the skin adsorption part 200 and the expansion pipe 310 into the cylinder part 115 through the extension pipe 320. The movable unit 330 is composed of a push button 340 and the piston member 350.

The push button 340 is partially exposed to the outside of the housing 100 so that the user can press the finger using a finger while holding the grip portion 110 of the housing 100. The push button 340 is slidably installed in the first sliding groove 111 of the housing 100, and the rear end is elastically supported by the first coil spring 361. In addition, the push button 340 has a first inclined surface 344 for pressing the piston member 350 is formed at the bottom.

The piston member 350 includes a body 351, a head portion 353, a plate 356 and a packing 358. The body 351 slides down along the second sliding groove 113 of the housing 100 in a direction D perpendicular to the movable direction F of the pushbutton 340 by pressing the pushbutton 340. . The inside of the body 351 extends through the extension pipe 320 along the longitudinal direction.

The head portion 353 extends above the body 351 and has a second inclined surface 354 which is directly pressed against the first inclined surface 344 of the piston member 350. The first and second inclined surfaces 344 and 354 are formed to be inclined at the same angle θ in the moving direction of the push button 340. The first and second inclined surfaces 344 and 354 vary in moving distance of the piston member 350 according to the set angle. That is, as the inclination angles θ of the first and second inclined surfaces 344 and 354 become larger, the movable distance of the piston member 350 becomes longer. Accordingly, the inclination angles θ of the first and second inclined surfaces 344 and 354 may be appropriately set to increase or decrease the amount of air discharged from the skin suction unit 200 and the expansion pipe 310 at one time.

The plate 356 is formed at the lower end of the body 351, the outer diameter of which approximately corresponds to the inner diameter of the cylinder portion 115 of the housing 100. As the plate 356 is elastically supported by the second coil spring 363 installed in the cylinder portion 115, the piston member 350 is elastically movable in the gripping portion 110.

The packing 358 is coupled to the upper side of the plate 356 and its outer circumference is in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder portion 115. The packing 358 seals the upper side of the cylinder 115 based on the plate 356 to maintain the vacuum state when the plate 356 descends along the cylinder 115.

On the other hand, the extension pipe 320 is provided with a first check valve 401 on the inside, the plate 356 is provided with a second check valve 403, these first and second check valves (401, 403) Are oppositely set in the opening and closing directions. The operation of the first and second check valves 401 and 403 is described below.

2 and 4, the operation of the skin massage apparatus of the present invention will be described.

Referring to FIG. 2, in order to massage the skin, the user grips the gripping part 110 with one hand and contacts the skin adsorption part 200 with the skin. In this case, both the tip 211 of the outer cup 210 and the tip 221 of the inner cup 220 are completely in contact with the skin.

In this state, when the user presses the pushbutton 340 in the “F” direction using the finger of the hand holding the gripper 110, the pushbutton 340 is the first coil spring 361. Sliding inwardly along the first sliding groove 111 to the housing 100 in a state that is elastically supported.

The piston member 350 is pushed by the pushbutton 340 to slide along the second sliding groove 113 in the "D" direction perpendicular to the "F" direction, and at the same time the plate 356 is second While descending along the cylinder portion 115 while being elastically supported by the coil spring 363, the first check valve 401 is opened and the second check valve 403 is closed.

At this time, a predetermined space portion E is formed on the cylinder 115 so as to correspond to the lowered distance of the piston member 350, and the air inside the skin adsorption portion 200 and the expansion pipe 310 extends. It is discharged to the space E along the pipe 320.

Accordingly, the expansion pipe 310 is contracted by the amount corresponding to the amount of air discharged, so as to increase the negative pressure inside the inner cup 220, the skin is adsorbed to the skin adsorption unit 200. Subsequently, when the user releases the pushbutton 340 held down, the pushbutton 340 and the piston member 350 are returned to their original positions by the first and second coil springs 361 and 363, respectively. In this case, as the plate 356 of the piston member 350 rises along the cylinder 115, the first check valve 401 is closed and the second check valve 403 is opened, so that the skin adsorption part 200 is closed. ) And the expansion pipe 310 maintains a state in which a predetermined negative pressure is formed.

In this state, the user can easily perform the skin massage while moving the skin adsorption unit 200 along the curve of the body.

On the other hand, when the massage at a higher negative pressure in accordance with the massage portion of the body, as described above, pressing and releasing the push button 340, the inner side of the skin adsorption unit 200 and the elastic pipe 310 As air is continuously discharged, a higher negative pressure may be formed in the skin adsorption portion 200 and the expansion pipe 310.

As described above, the skin massage apparatus of the present invention may be configured to gradually increase the negative pressure as the first and second check valves 401 and 403 are provided, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first and second check valves 401 and 403 are not limited thereto. In the case of omitting the installation, the user may perform skin massage while maintaining a state in which a predetermined negative pressure is generated while the push button 340 is kept pressed.

Accordingly, according to the skin massage apparatus of the present invention, a small negative pressure generating unit 300 for manually generating negative pressure is built into the housing 100, and thus, a separate device such as a vacuum pump for generating negative pressure needs to be provided. Negative pressure can be easily generated manually without In addition, it can be used to adjust the negative pressure appropriately according to the strength of the skin of the customer receiving the skin massage or the massage part of the body.

Moreover, the skin massage apparatus of the present invention can be carried as it can be manufactured in a small size, it is possible to carry out the skin massage regardless of the place, it is easy to store.
