On the other hand, it is known that by irradiating the human body with thermal energy, it acts on the tissues to enhance metabolism, promote blood circulation, and obtain cosmetic effects. The provision of thermal energy to the human body is realized by each method, such as infrared irradiation by a heater composed of a heating wire, ultrasonic irradiation from an ultrasonic vibrator, and microwave, radio wave, microwave irradiation, etc. realized by an oscillation circuit, or a beauty device combining them. have.

In addition, a beauty device using a massage effect for the purpose of reception has been realized. As a massage effect, a high-frequency current (hereinafter simply referred to as a high-frequency or radio wave) is applied to the skin or a cosmetic device that increases tissue metabolism and relieves so-called cellulite by a physical massage effect using suction such as roller rotation or a pump, There is also a beauty device that realizes an action equivalent to a physical massage effect that gives stimulation as if struck by current stimulation by changing the pattern of energized resting tissue between multiple electrodes.

However, conventional treatment devices using such high frequency waves, providing only a simple physical massage effect, or using electric current stimulation have a uniform massage pattern and insufficient effect to sufficiently satisfy the user's needs.

In this case, it is possible to provide more stimulation to the body parts such as thighs, arms, and calves. Other parts of the head 110' of FIG. 11 except for the touch unit 113' have the same configuration as the above-described head, and thus detailed descriptions of other parts will be omitted to avoid duplication.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 12 , the head 140 may be configured in an improved form for decompression. This type of head 140 is effective in a narrow part of the body and can be used, for example, for a face/decollete, or for a wrinkled scalp. In FIG. 12 , reference numeral 141 denotes a second body, reference numeral 142 denotes an extension part 146 having a wire connector 146 , reference numeral 143 denotes a touch part, and reference numeral 144 denotes a second body having a coupler 145 . 1 As a coupling piece, since it has the same characteristics as the head of the above-described embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication.

By using the thermal decompressor of this embodiment configured as described above, it is possible to simultaneously implement the thermal effect, the vibration effect, and the endermology effect with one device, so that the blood and lymph circulation are smooth, and the stiff intestines and muscles can be relaxed. can be expected

Hereinafter, the operation of the thermostat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

When the operation button provided on the body or monitor is operated once, the state of the device is turned on and becomes a decompression mode using only the vacuum characteristics. As if in an oriental medicine clinic, the movement of sucking in and releasing the skin is repeated, stimulating the skin and massaging the skin. At this time, the intensity of the decompression mode may be adjusted by using a sensitivity control switch of the body, and the massage mode may be adjusted by using a separate selection button or the like.

In this embodiment, the massage mode may be divided into 10 types of data of mode 0, mode 1 to mode 8, and mode A in the memory unit provided in the control unit and stored.

For example, mode 0 is a so-called 'manual' mode, and when the user selects mode 0, the user adjusts the decompression pattern and intensity of the vibrating unit by himself/herself, and the decompression action proceeds. In this case, the operating time may be additionally set.

In addition, modes 1 to 8 are a kind of preset, and the decompression action is performed according to the decompression pattern and intensity of the vibration unit pre-programmed by the manufacturer.

For example, mode 1 may be a circulation mode, mode 2 is a decompression pattern and intensity focusing on fat burning, mode 3 is a decompression pattern and intensity focusing on muscle pain relaxation, 4 Mode burn is composed of decompression pattern and strength by focusing on fit of female user's body line, mode 5 is composed of decompression pattern and strength by focusing on muscle relaxation, and mode 6 is a massage mode. The decompression pattern is configured in the form of tapping, the 7th mode is a tapping and lie mode, and the 8th mode may be configured as a combination mode in which the decompression patterns 1 to 7 are regularly mixed.

In addition, the A mode is a so-called 'auto' mode, and the presets 1 to 8 described above are randomly combined to implement the decompression action.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical spirit of the present invention, and various modifications and variations will be possible without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.

Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical spirit of the present invention, but to explain, and the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
