The scalp care device according to the embodiment may be used to manage the user's scalp. Care of the scalp may be performed by, for example, irradiating light to the scalp or vibrating the scalp.

The scalp care device irradiates light to the scalp to suppress the generation of wrinkles on the scalp or the occurrence of dead skin cells on the scalp. In addition, by applying vibration to the scalp, it is possible to massage the scalp to relieve fatigue of the user, or to remove dead skin cells from the scalp to make the scalp clean.

That is, the scalp care device irradiates light to the scalp or vibrates the scalp to apply a weak stimulus to the scalp, thereby reducing fatigue of the user of the scalp, maintaining the scalp, and other various effects to the scalp.

On the other hand, the scalp care device can be operated by receiving power, and operating the component by applying power to each component that uses power, or a second light source case (1372) for stopping the operation of the component by cutting off the power supply. ) May be provided. In addition, the control unit may receive a detection signal from a sensor provided in the scalp care device.

The control unit may be provided on each printed circuit board to be described later, and may be electrically connected to an operation button 210 for operating the scalp care device and each component operated by the control of the control unit.

In addition, the control unit, a signal received from the operation button 210, a signal received from the pressure sensor 134, and control transmitted to each of the electric devices provided in each brush module 110 and the operation module 130 In order to effectively receive and transmit signals, it may be provided as a separate control module.

Such a control module may be provided to be electrically connected to each electric device provided in the scalp care device, and may be accommodated in the body 200, for example.

The scalp care device may include a head 100, a body 200, and a power supply device 300. The head 100 and the body 200 may be light and have good durability, for example, to form an external shape of plastic.

The head 100 may include a brush module 110. The brush module 110 may include a scaling brush 111 and an optical fiber brush 112 so that the user can use the scalp care device in a way that combs hair.

2 and 3, a user can manage the scalp while using the scalp care device like a comb.

That is, the user can move the scalp care device to various parts of the scalp while combing the hair with the brush module 110, and irradiate light or vibrate the scalp using the scalp care device at each position of the scalp. You can take care of the entire scalp in a way that gives you.

Since the user can use the scalp care device like a comb, it is possible to manage the scalp very easily by irradiating light or vibrating the scalp every time the hair is combed, without having to spend extra time for scalp care.

The structure of the head 100 will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The main body 200 is a part that the user holds by hand when using the scalp care device. The body 200 may be coupled to the head 100 so as to be detachable. As will be described later, since the power supply device 300 and the like are accommodated in the body 200, the body 200 may be provided to be detachable from the head 100 for repair of the scalp care device.

The main body 200 may be provided with an operation button 210. The operation button 210 may control the operation of the scalp care device by electrically connecting or disconnecting the power supply device 300 and various electric devices provided in the head 100.

The operation button 210 may be provided as, for example, a push button in a manner in which an operation mode is changed when pressed by hand. Depending on the number of times the operation button 210 is pressed, the operation mode of the scalp care device may be changed.

For example, when the operating button 210 is pressed in a state in which the scalp care device is not operating, the scalp care device may be in a mode in which only light is irradiated. When the operation button 210 is pressed once more in a mode in which only light is irradiated, the scalp care device may be in a mode in which only vibration is generated.

In addition, for example, when the operation button 210 is pressed again in a mode that generates only vibration, the scalp care device may be in a mode that generates vibration while irradiating light.

In this way, through the operation of pressing the operation button 210, the scalp care device can easily implement a mode in which only light is irradiated, a mode in which only vibration is generated, and a mode in which vibration is generated while irradiating light is simultaneously implemented.

Referring to FIG. 4, the power supply device 300 is accommodated in the main body 200, and power is applied by the operation button 210 to supply power to an electric device provided in the head 100.

The power supply device 300 may be electrically connected to an external battery, and may supply electric power discharged from the battery to an electric device provided in the head 100 according to an operation of the operation button 210.

On the other hand, the battery may be provided in a rechargeable or non-rechargeable type, and may be mounted in a hollow portion formed inside the main body 200. The battery may be easily replaced by a user or may be provided inside the main body 200 in a structure that cannot be replaced.

For example, when a user can not easily replace and a rechargeable battery is mounted on the main body 200, a socket to which a plug for charging can be coupled may be provided at the side or bottom of the main body 200. .

The brush module 110 may be provided to vibrate by receiving power from the power supply device 300. Accordingly, the scalp care device may include a vibration module to vibrate the brush module 110, and the vibration module will be described in detail below.

5 is a front view of FIG. 1. 6 is a side view of FIG. 1. The brush module 110 may include a scaling brush 111 and an optical fiber brush 112. The user can manage the scalp while combing the hair with the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brush 112.

A plurality of scaling brushes 111 may be disposed at intervals from each other. The optical fiber brushes 112 may be disposed in plural at intervals from each other, but at least some of them may be disposed between the scaling brushes 111. As a whole, the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brush 112 may be disposed in plural at intervals from each other.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 5, the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brush 112 have the second light source ( It may be provided so as to surround the second light source 1371 at a portion other than the center of the brush module 110 on which the 1371 is not disposed. The second light source 1371 will be described in detail below.

The optical fiber brush 112 is provided with an optical fiber, so that the irradiation light enters one end and the irradiation light exits the other end to the outside. The optical fiber brush 112 may be provided at a position corresponding to the first light source.

Accordingly, the light irradiated from the first light source is irradiated through the optical fiber brush 112 in the longitudinal direction, thereby being irradiated to the user's scalp.

The length of the scaling brush 111 may be longer than the length of the optical fiber brush 112. Due to this structure, a step ST may be formed between the end of the scaling brush 111 and the end of the optical fiber brush 112.

Since the optical fiber brush 112 does not exist in the portion where the step ST is formed, compared to the portion other than the step ST where the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brush 112 exist together, in the step ST The spacing of the brushes as a whole is relatively sparse, i.e. less dense.

If there is no step (ST), the distance between the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brush 112 may be provided very tightly at a point where the brush module 110 contacts the user's scalp and a portion adjacent thereto. .

In order to have as many light irradiation areas as possible, the more the number of optical fiber brushes 112 made of optical fibers is provided, the tighter the distance between the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brushes 112 may be.

When the distance between the brush including the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brush 112 at a point in contact with the user's scalp and adjacent thereto becomes tight, foreign matter may be easily adsorbed and accumulated between the brushes.

When the scalp care device is used, the foreign matter, for example, dead skin cells of the scalp may be peeled off and adsorbed to the brush. As the number of times of use of the scalp care device increases, the accumulated amount of the foreign matter may increase.

If the accumulated amount of foreign matter increases, hygiene problems may occur in the use of the scalp care device. In addition, if foreign matter accumulates on the surface of the optical fiber brush 112 through which the irradiation light passes, the irradiation light may be blocked, and thus, the scalp care device cannot irradiate sufficient light to the user's scalp.

Accordingly, in the scalp care apparatus, in order to suppress accumulation of foreign matter at a point in contact with the scalp of the brush and a portion adjacent thereto, it is necessary to have a sparse structure between a plurality of brushes.

Accordingly, in the embodiment, a step ST is provided between the ends of the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brush 112, so that the plurality of brushes may have a sparse structure.

Due to the provision of such a step (ST), foreign matter generated by the use of the scalp care device, for example, keratin discharged from the scalp can be easily discharged from the step (ST) to the outside, and the foreign matter accumulates between the brushes. This phenomenon can be suppressed.

In addition, since the step ST is provided, even if the number of optical fiber brushes 112 provided with an optical fiber is increased to increase the irradiation area of light, the total number of brushes at the point in contact with the user's scalp and adjacent thereto is , Compared with the case where there is no step ST, since it is relatively small, foreign matter can be smoothly discharged to the outside, and the phenomenon that such foreign matter accumulates between the brushes can be suppressed.

On the other hand, in order to form such a step ST, it may be sufficient to make the lengths of the scaling brush 111 and the optical fiber brush 112 different from each other.

For example, the length of the scaling brush 111 is relatively long and the length of the optical fiber brush 112 is relatively short, or the length of the optical fiber brush 112 is relatively long and the length of the scaling brush 111 is reversed. You can also make it relatively long.

However, in particular, in order to further suppress the accumulation of foreign substances in the optical fiber brush 112, the keratin of the scalp does not directly accumulate in the optical fiber brush 112 by preventing the optical fiber brush 112 from directly contacting the user's scalp. You can also avoid it.

From this point of view, by making the length of the scaling brush 111 shorter than the length of the optical fiber brush 112, it may be appropriate to prevent the optical fiber brush 112 from directly contacting the scalp of the user when using the scalp care device.

Meanwhile, the interval of the step ST, that is, the interval between the end of the scaling brush 111 and the end of the optical fiber brush 112 may be set to an appropriate value in consideration of the user's convenience.
