BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a skin care device, and more particularly, to a skin care device using ionospheric treatment.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in beauty that maintains moisture in the skin and prevents aging of the skin. Techniques have been developed to apply iontophoresis to skin care.

Ion migration is a phenomenon in which ions move by imparting a potential difference. Through such ion-implantation, the ingredients of the formulation are absorbed into the skin, and an appropriate amount of stimulation is given to the skin to realize the massage effect.

However, conventional skin care devices using iontophoresis are designed to use an iontophoretic device after applying the formulation to the skin in advance. In such a case, there are troublesome users, time constraints may not be easily overcome, and pre-applied formulations may flow down from the skin.

In addition, by incorporating the formulation supply portion including the formulation tank, the formulation can be ejected onto the skin together with the ions.

1 is a configuration diagram of a skin care device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

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

1, a skin care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10, a form supply part 20, 22, 24, 26, an ion supply part 30, 32, 40).

The housing 10 has a predetermined length to include the head portion 11 and the handle 12 and the component supply portions 20, 22, 24 and 26 and some components of the ion supply portions 30 and 32 It has a certain volume to be embedded.

The overall shape of the head portion 11 may be spherical, and the overall shape of the handle 12 may be cylindrical. However, the shapes of the head portion 11 and the handle 12 are not limited thereto, but may be designed in various shapes as required by those skilled in the art (hereinafter referred to as those skilled in the art).

The formulation supply part 20, 22, 24, 26 functions to supply and apply the formulation to the skin during skin care. These dispensing units 20, 22 and 24 include a dispensing tank 20, a dispensing pump 22, a dispensing supply passage 24, and a dispensing opening 26.

The formulation tank 20 is a space in which the formulation is stored, and is embedded in the housing 10. Here, the formulation refers to a substance used to be absorbed into skin during skin care, and may be an electrically conductive material to facilitate skin care using iontophoresis.

The dispensing pump 22 and the dispensing supply passage 24 are disposed inside the housing 10 to be connected to the dispensing tank 20. The formulation stored in the formulation tank 20 is transferred to the formulation supply path 24 in accordance with the operation of the formulation pump 22 and the formulation pump 22 is placed on the formulation supply path 24 . Further, the dispensing pump 22 is connected to a dispensing supply switch 14 provided on the handle 12 of the housing 10 to pump the dispensing form stored in the dispensing tank 20 according to a user's request. That is, as the user operates the dispenser supply switch 14, the dispenser tank 20 is operated. Here, the form feed switch 14 or the formulating pump 22 may include an electric control device, and the configuration of the electric control device may be variously implemented according to the design of a person skilled in the art.

The injection port 26 communicates with the formulation supply path 24 to eject the formulation delivered through the delivery path 24 to the outside. In addition, the above-described forming air outlet 26 is formed in the conductor portion 32 to be described later. Here, two or more of the form injection port 26 and the formulation supply path 24 may be provided corresponding to each other, and two or more formulations may be used. On the other hand, when two or more types of formulations are used, the formulation tank 20 is divided according to the type of the formulation.

The ion supply units 30 and 32 function to supply ions to the skin during skin care. These ion supplying units 30 and 32 include an ion generating unit 30 and a conductor unit 32. [

The ion generating part 30 generates ions and transmits them to the conductor part 32 as a conductor. The conductor part 32 supplies the transferred ions to the user's skin. Ion migration used for the generation and migration of ions is a movement of ions using a potential difference, and a current transmitted to the skin of the user through the conductor unit 32 flows through the hand of the user holding the handle 12, Ion implantation which is implemented by a closed loop principle that is exposed to the outside and exits to the ground G is apparent to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

The conductor portion 32 is formed with the forming air outlet 26 so as to penetrate through the conductor portion 32 so that the formulation delivered through the formulation supply path 24 is sprayed to the air outlet 26 The injection path (24) is inserted into the inner end of the injection port (26). 1, the conductor portion 32 is formed in a cylindrical shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto. However, the conductor portion 32 may be formed with a flat surface contacting the user's skin. Further, the outer end of the spraying port 26 is formed on the flat surface of the conductor portion 32.

The cap 40 is formed into a hollow columnar shape with one side open. The cap 40 is formed so as to cover the conductor portion 32 by inserting the conductor portion 32 through the open side. Accordingly, the hollow of the cap 40 is formed in a shape corresponding to the conductor 32, and the cylindrical cap 40 is shown in FIG. 1, but is not limited thereto.

The operation of supplying ions generated from the ion generator 30 to the conductive part 32 and supplying the ions to the skin of the user is performed by the ion supply switch 16 provided in the handle 12 of the housing 10, As shown in FIG. That is, depending on the operation of the formulation supply switch 14 and the ion supply switch 16, the ions and the formulation may be supplied to the skin of the user simultaneously or one of them may be supplied.

The closed other side of the cap 40 may be closed by the gauze 42. The gauze 42 is disposed so as to surround the flat surface of the conductor portion 32. That is, the formulation and ions are supplied to the skin of the user through the gauze 42, but the direct contact of the dust and other elements to the conductor 32 is prevented.

Meanwhile, the elastic member 50 and the balls 52 may be disposed inside the cap 40 for each of the spraying outlets 26. The elastic member 50 and the ball 52 function as a check valve. More specifically, when the ball 52 is supplied with the formulation at a predetermined pressure or higher in a state where the injection port 26 is closed, the ball is pushed by the release of the ball so that the injection port 26 is opened. When the pressure of the formulation inside the formulation supply path 24 becomes a certain pressure or less, the ball 52 closes the injection port 26 by the elastic force of the elastic member 50.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the gauze 36 mounted on the cap 34 prevents external dust or the like from directly touching the conductor portion to prevent the skin from acting as a harmful element, thereby improving the satisfaction of the user , And the deterioration of hygiene can be prevented.

In addition, by incorporating the formulation supply portion 22, 24, 26 including the formulation tank 20, the formulation can be ejected to the skin together with ions.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, And all changes to the scope that are deemed to be valid.
