Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a current mask pack device having a patterned conductive carbon film support using a smart phone,

In general, a mask pack is manufactured by absorbing a functional cosmetic liquid into a nonwoven fabric using a nonwoven fabric as a support, or by applying a hydrogel to a nonwoven fabric. Recently, a mask pack which is formed so as to have an outer shape with only a hydrogel without a support is used. For example, a hydrogel mask pack using collagen as a natural protein.

However, existing mask packs have not been able to emphasize the specificity of each product externally, and are not so different from each other in terms of functionality, and have promoted sales through marketing through difficulty in differentiating the product characteristics. For example, a person using a mask pack can give a sense of rejection to a person other than a man showing a face, and even if the maker and kind of the mask pack are different, the difference in appearance can not be shown.

On the other hand, hydrogel is a material having a three-dimensional hydrophilic polymer network structure in which water is used as a dispersion medium. It has excellent water absorption ability and flexibility as natural tissue, and also has an intelligent It is also susceptible to controlled release and pH, temperature, electric field and light stimuli that swell or shrink.

Such a hydrogel is advantageous in that it is excellent in water washability, has no stickiness, and has characteristics of swelling by water or other liquid to form a degree of roughness, and properties of elasticity, skin adhesion and soft touch of hydrogel And is used as a mask pack.

Recently, as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 10-0628946, an electric conductive layer is formed on a mask pack to allow electricity to flow through the electric conductive layer, whereby the drug of the mask pack A mask pack set was also developed to facilitate skin penetration.

Iontophoresis is a method for promoting transdermal absorption of a drug by applying a small amount of physiologically acceptable current to the skin. By applying this to the mask pack, the skin absorption of the cosmetic liquid contained in the mask pack .

However, in order to use the iontophoresis method, a separate device for flowing electric current is needed. Therefore, it is preferable to implement the device using a device that uses everyday use.

KR 10-0628946 B1 2006.09.20.

Therefore, in constructing a hydrogel mask pack having an electrically conductive layer as a support for applying the principle of iontophoresis, the present invention can provide a cosmetic element in the form of an electrically conductive layer, It is possible to increase the effect of iontophoresis by applying a uniform current to the entire surface of the skin to which it is attached, and to perform iontophoresis using a device that is used in everyday use, thereby patterning using a smartphone The present invention also provides a current mask pack device having a conductive carbon film support.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a current mask pack device having a patterned conductive carbon film support using a smartphone, wherein a plurality of holes 21a are uniformly formed over the entire surface, A mask pack 20 having a support 21 as a support; A patch (30) attached to the skin at a position spaced apart from the skin part to which the mask pack (20) is attached and having electrodes on the surface to be attached to the skin; (40) having a connector (41) formed with a line detachably connected to the carbon film (21) and an end of a line connected to an electrode of the patch (30); An audio current signal output through the earphone jack 11 into which the connector 41 is inserted is caused to flow between the carbon film 21 of the mask pack 20 and the electrode of the patch 30 to perform iontophoresis, And a smartphone 10 for facilitating medicinal skin permeation of the mask pack according to the principles of the present invention and adjusting the pattern of the audio current signal by selection of an audio file.

The hole 21a is formed in one of circular, polygonal, and heart shapes. The mask pack 20 is formed by coating both surfaces of a carbon film 21 with a hydrogel to fill each hole 21a with a hydrogel .

The earphone jack 11 has an acoustic output terminal and a microphone terminal and a common terminal for grounding. The connector 41 connects the patch 30 to a common terminal for grounding, The smartphone 10 detects a resistance when the carbon film 21 is connected to the microphone terminal and detects a resistance when the carbon film 21 is connected to the acoustic output terminal And a predetermined current is caused to flow through the carbon film (21) by adjusting the audio volume based on the detection resistance.

According to the present invention configured as described above, since the pattern patterned by the shape of the hole 21a is displayed on the mask pack 20, an aesthetic element can be added to the shape of the hole 21a, Instead, the mask pack 20 can be used by changing the mask pack 20 anytime and anywhere by using a smart phone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a use state diagram of a current mask pack device having a patterned conductive carbon film support using a smartphone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is an external view and a partially enlarged view of the mask pack 20 shown in FIG. 1 in an expanded state, and FIG. 3 is a partial enlarged view of a mask pack 20 showing another embodiment pattern of the carbon film 21 , Fig. 4 is a partial enlarged view of mask pack 20 showing another embodiment pattern of carbon film 21. Fig. In the drawing, the carbon film 21 is buried in the hydrogel but is provided outside, so that the carbon film 21 is shown as being visually seen.

1 and 2, a current mask pack device according to the present invention includes a mask pack 20, a mask 20 attached to the skin to which the mask pack 20 is not attached, And a cable 40 for electrically connecting the smartphone 10 to the mask pack 20 and the patch 30. The patch 30 includes an electrode on the surface to which the mask pack 20 and the patch 30 are attached, .

The mask pack 20 uses the conductive carbon film 21 as a support for holding the outer shape of the mask pack. According to the embodiment of the present invention, both sides of the carbon film 21 are coated with a hydrogel, So that the carbon film 21 is stably adhered and fixed.

To this end, the carbon film 21 has a plurality of holes 21a uniformly formed over the entire surface to form a net structure, and has a terminal 22 which is not coated on the hydrogel, protruding on one side. Since the hydrogel is applied and formed on both surfaces of the carbon film 21 formed in a net shape, the hydrogel is also filled in each hole 21a. Thus, the hydrogel applied to both surfaces of the carbon film 21 is connected by the hydrogel filled in the holes 21a to form an integral body, thereby stably maintaining the outer shape of the carbon film 21 in a state of being embedded.

Here, the shape of the hole 21a may be any one of circular, polygonal, and heart shapes as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. However, the shape of the hole 21a is not limited to the above- do. For example, two or more of the circular, polygonal, and heart shapes may be mixed in the carbon film 21 provided in one mask pack 20, or the hole 21a may be formed as a text message The emoticon may be formed in various shapes. It is preferable that the carbon film 21 uniformly flows the current flowing through the terminal 22 evenly over the entire contact area. That is, it is preferable to apply a uniform electric potential across the entire surface of the carbon film 21. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the size of the hole 21a may be different for each skin contact site.

Since the shape of the hole 21a can be recognized from the outside even if the mask pack 20 has a shape embedded in the hydrogel formed body using the carbon film 21 as a support, And various images are printed depending on the distribution state. Thus, even if the mask pack 20 constructed as described above is attached to the face, the mask pack 20 having the shape or distribution of the holes 21a or the like or the like, It can be pretty or cute, or it can look like a beautiful mask.

Further, since the mask pack 20 in which the carbon film 21 is buried is excellent in outline resilience, it is easy to adhere to the face.

When the voltage of the equal potential is applied across the entire surface of the mask pack 20 by connecting to the earphone jack 11 of the smartphone 10 through the cable 40 as described below, The action of applying a uniform equipotential voltage across the entire face occurs. Accordingly, by the principle of iontophoresis, skin permeation of the drug is promoted to the entire face to provide a cosmetic effect such as skin wound healing and skin condition improvement, improvement of secretion of growth hormone by microcurrent, Cell regeneration, and pain relief (Journal of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine, Volume 18, Issue 4 October 2008: 18 (4): 121-133).

The terminal 22 is electrically connected to a terminal connection portion 42 to be described later. The terminal connection portion 42 is detachably connected so that the disposable mask pack 20 can be used interchangeably. The terminal connection portion 42 42 in accordance with the following embodiments.

As the material of the carbon film 21, for example, a material used as an electrode of a patch attached to a body by a medical low-frequency stimulator (TENS) can be employed, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted. As a method for forming the hydrogel, for example, a known molding method can be used as described in detail in the Japanese Patent Registration No. 10-0841742, the detailed description will be omitted.

The patch 30 is attached to the skin that is separated from the skin on which the mask pack 20 is attached, and has electrodes on its surface to be attached to the skin. For example, the patch 30 can use a patch used in the medical low-frequency stimulator, so a detailed description will be omitted.

When a voltage is applied between the carbon film 21 of the mask pack 20 and the electrode of the patch 30 by attaching the mask pack 20 and the patch 30 to the skin as described above, The drug skin permeation of the mask pack 20 is promoted by the principle of iontophoresis.

Here, the patch 30 may be connected to the cable 40 to be used repeatedly.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the mask pack 20 is attached to the face, the patch 30 can be attached to, for example, the back of the ear, the shoulder or the like.

The cable 40 has a connector 41 connected to the earphone jack 11 of the smartphone 10 and the other end is connected to the terminal 22 of the mask pack 20 and the electrode of the patch 30 . That is, the cable includes a connector 41 formed with an end portion of a line detachably connected to the carbon film 21 and an end portion of a line connected to the electrode of the patch 30, Can be applied between the carbon film 21 of the mask pack 20 and the electrode of the patch 30. [ The audio current signal output to the earphone jack 11 is caused to flow between the carbon film 21 and the patch 30 electrode of the mask pack 20 according to the audio file reproduced in the smartphone 10.

Here, the terminal connection portion 42 and the terminal 22 may be connected in a detachable manner, and various methods may be employed. For example, the terminal 22 is constituted by a plate insulated from the face facing the skin when the mask pack 20 is attached to the skin, and the terminal connection portion 42 is provided with a conductor And can be constituted by the provided tongs. Alternatively, the terminal connecting portion 42 and the terminal 22 may be made of conductive velcro and electrically connected to each other by Velcro coupling, a method of electrically connecting the terminal connecting portion 42 and the terminal 22 by filling the button with a conductive knot, And a method of constructing both of them as conductive conductive gels to be electrically connected by adhesion.

Since the terminal connecting portion 42 and the terminal 22 are configured as described above, the mask pack 20 can be used interchangeably, and the cable 40 can be used repeatedly.

Meanwhile, the connector 41 connected to the earphone jack 11 of the smartphone 10 may be configured as described in another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 to have additional functions.

Since the smartphone 10 is a communication device and has an earphone jack 11 for connecting the earphone, the audio file is reproduced by itself and the audio voltage signal is applied to the earphone connected to the earphone jack 11, And is configured to operate according to a program of an application. In the embodiment of the present invention, an application is installed and executed as a smart pad and a computer, Reproduced and outputted to the earphone jack 11 as described above.

According to the present invention, the smartphone 10 corresponds to an audio file reproduced by itself by inserting the connector 41 of the cable 40 connected to the mask pack 20 and the patch 30 into the earphone jack 11 An audio voltage signal is applied between the carbon film 21 of the mask pack 20 and the electrode of the patch 30. The audio signal is applied to the earphone jack 11 through the earphone jack 11, Since the electric current according to the audio voltage signal flows through the skin, the drug skin permeation of the mask pack is promoted by the principle of iontophoresis. At this time, It is possible to adjust the waveform of voltage and current applied to the skin by storing various audio files in the smartphone 10 and then selectively reproducing the desired audio file.

That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to configure the device at low cost by using the smartphone 10 without using a separate device for applying voltage and current to the skin, and it is advantageous that the device can be used anytime and anywhere without a separate power source .

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to change the size of voltage and current applied to the skin by adjusting the volume in the smartphone 10, It is also possible to increase the convenience of use by mounting a separate application,

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the connector 41 of the cable 40 is connected to either the left sound terminal 11-L or the right sound terminal 11-R when the earphone jack 11 is inserted into the earphone jack 11 An input terminal 41b connected to the microphone terminal 11-MIC and a ground terminal 41c connected to the common terminal 11-GND.

A line of the cable 40 connected to the terminal 22 connected to the carbon film 21 of the mask pack 20 is connected to either one of the output terminal 41a and the input terminal 41b And a switch 41d composed of three switches for selectively connecting the switches 41a to 41d.

The ground terminal 41c is connected to the patch 30 through the cable 40. [

Thus, when the connector 41 is inserted into the earphone jack 11, the patch 30 is connected to the common terminal 11-GND of the earphone jack 11.

When the carbon film 21 of the mask pack 20 is connected to the sound output terminals 11-R and 11-L in accordance with the operation of the switch 41d, (11-MIC) when it is connected to the microphone terminal 11-MIC, and outputs the audio signal of the reproduced audio through the sound output terminals 11-R and 11-L and the common terminal 11- And the common terminal (11-GND) in the application (12).

The switch 41d is operated to connect the carbon film 21 to the microphone terminal 11-MIC while the mask pack 20 and the patch 30 are attached to the skin, (12). At this time, the application 12 detects the resistance between the carbon film 21 and the patch electrode 30, and acquires a volume for flowing the preset current value. For example, if a voltage is applied between the microphone terminal 11-MIC and the common terminal 11-GND to detect an acoustic signal input to the microphone by detection of a current change, the above-mentioned resistance is detected from the applied voltage and the detected current And it is possible to flow the preset current value by adjusting the volume from the resistor.

That is, when the switch 41d is operated to connect the carbon film 21 to the sound output terminals 11-R and 11-L, and then the output function of the application 12 is executed, (11-R, 11-L) and the common terminal (11-GND) with the calculated volume, and then outputs the audio electric signal to the audio output terminal Shed.

As described above, according to the present invention, an optimal iontophoresis effect can be obtained by flowing an appropriate microcurrent to the skin in accordance with a variable resistance according to a state where the mask pack 20 and the patch 30 are attached to the skin have.

Of course, the preset current value may be set to a predetermined range, and the user may arbitrarily adjust the current value within the range, but the range may not be deviated.

On the other hand, the connector 41 is provided with a voltage applying unit for applying a specific voltage waveform for the iontophoresis to the terminal connection unit 42, a ball current adjusting unit for adjusting the power of the applied voltage, Even when the connector 41 is not connected to the earphone jack 11 of the smartphone 10, the power supply unit and the cutoff unit for blocking the overcurrent when the overcurrent is generated, May be obtained.
