In this embodiment, the k electrodes 108 are all linear copper conductive films with a thickness of 1 micron. The electrode 108 should be made of a material with better flexibility, and the thickness is smaller and thinner.

Each functional layer 104 may be a carbon nanotube layer. The carbon nanotube layer includes a large number of carbon nanotubes uniformly distributed, and the carbon nanotubes are closely combined by van der Waals force. The carbon nanotube layer may be a pure carbon nanotube layer including only carbon nanotubes. The thickness of the carbon nanotube layer is preferably 50 nanometers to 100 micrometers. The carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube layer include one or more of single-wall carbon nanotubes, double-wall carbon nanotubes and multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes may be pure carbon nanotubes, which means that the surface of the carbon nanotubes does not contain other impurities, such as amorphous carbon and functional groups. The diameter of the single-walled carbon nanotubes is 0.5 nanometers to 50 nanometers, the diameter of the double-walled carbon nanotubes is 1.0 nanometers to 50 nanometers, and the diameter of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes is 1.5 nanometers. Nano ~ 50 nanometers. The carbon nanotube layer may include ordered carbon nanotubes, and the carbon nanotubes are preferentially oriented along a fixed direction. The carbon nanotube layer may also include disordered and randomly arranged carbon nanotubes.

Preferably, the carbon nanotube layer is a self-supporting structure. The so-called "self-supporting structure" means that the carbon nanotube layer can maintain its own specific shape without being supported by a support. The carbon nanotube structure of the self-supporting structure includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes, and the plurality of carbon nanotubes attract each other through van der Waals force, thereby forming a network structure and making the carbon nanotube structure have a specific shape, to form an integrated self-supporting carbon nanotube layer. Compared with the non-self-supporting carbon nanotube layer, such as the carbon nanotube slurry layer, the self-supporting carbon nanotube layer has better flexibility. Experiments have shown that if the carbon nanotube slurry is applied inside the flexible mask 10 as the functional layer 104, after the carbon nanotube slurry dries, the flexibility of the flexible mask 100 will be reduced due to the carbon nanotube slurry layer.

Specifically, the carbon nanotube layer includes at least one carbon nanotube film or at least one carbon nanotube wire. It can be understood that when the carbon nanotube layer includes a plurality of carbon nanotube films, the plurality of carbon nanotube films can be stacked. The carbon nanotube film is an ordered carbon nanotube film or a disordered carbon nanotube film. The disordered carbon nanotube film includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged in disorder, where the disorder means that the arrangement direction of the carbon nanotubes is irregular. The ordered carbon nanotube film means that the arrangement direction of most carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film has certain rules. Specifically, the carbon nanotubes in the disordered carbon nanotube film can be further intertwined, and the carbon nanotube layer formed by the disorderly arranged carbon nanotubes is isotropic; the ordered carbon nanotubes The carbon nanotubes in the tube film are preferentially aligned along one direction or multiple directions.

When the carbon nanotube layer includes a plurality of carbon nanotube wires, the plurality of carbon nanotube wires can be arranged parallel to each other, side by side, or crossed to form a two-dimensional carbon nanotube layer or braided into a two-dimensional carbon nanotube layer. carbon nanotube layer. The carbon nanotubes may include a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged along the length direction of the carbon nanotubes. Preferably, the carbon nanotubes are connected end to end. The carbon nanotubes can also include a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged along the length direction of the carbon nanotubes and connected end to end.

The carbon nanotube layer has better flexibility than the first flexible layer or/and the second flexible layer. When the carbon nanotube layer is used as a functional layer in a flexible mask, the flexibility of the whole flexible mask will not be due to the setting of the functional layer; the strength of the carbon nanotube layer is relatively high, and no matter how the flexible mask is bent and pulled, it will not damage the carbon nanotube layer.

Step 2: providing a flexible conductive film, the flexible conductive film is provided with openings for eyes and mouth corresponding to the flexible mask, and sticking the flexible conductive film on the user's face.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , the flexible conductive film 12 is used to be directly attached to the user's face. The flexible conductive film 12 is a conductive material with a certain degree of flexibility and can fit on the user's face. Preferably, the flexible conductive film has a certain degree of stickiness, and has a certain bonding force with the user's face, so that it can fit better. In this embodiment, the flexible conductive film 12 is hydrogel. The hydrogel has a certain viscosity, so that the flexible mask 10 can be completely attached to the surface of the hydrogel flexible conductive film 12, and the hydrogel can be closely attached to the user's skin. Furthermore, the hydrogel has a certain resistance and a moderate degree of conductivity. The flexible conductive film 12 can be replaced arbitrarily.

Step 3: Attach the flexible mask of the mask-type beauty instrument to the flexible conductive film.

The flexible conductive film is positioned between the user's skin and the flexible mask. The second flexible layer of the flexible mask is in contact with the flexible conductive film. Since the second flexible layer is provided with at least one opening at the position corresponding to the functional layer, the functional layer is exposed, and the functional layer can directly contact the flexible conductive film, so that the functional layer and the flexible conductive film are electrically connected. The flexible conductive film is used to separate the flexible mask from the skin of the user to prevent the flexible mask from being polluted by the skin, because the cost of the flexible conductive film is low and can be replaced at will. At the same time, because the flexible conductive film is a conductive material, it will not affect the flexible mask. Provides electrical stimulation to the user's skin.

Step 4: Applying a voltage between any two of the plurality of electrodes to form at least one loop, in which current flows through the user's facial skin to stimulate the user's facial skin.

When the mask type beauty instrument 100 is in use, the functional layer 104 forms a loop with the user's skin, and current flows through the user's skin. The voltage is applied cyclically between the two electrodes 108 in the manner of 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4...K-1 and K, so as to cycle to two pairs of functional layers or two functional layers corresponding to each two electrodes 108 Layer input current to achieve the purpose of stimulating the skin in sequence. Each pair of electrodes 108 can be energized for a period of time, stay for a period of time, and then energize the next pair of electrodes 108 again. That is, the cycle time of each pair of electrodes 108 is the sum of the energization time and the residence time. The energizing voltage can be set as required, preferably, the energizing voltage is 20-36 volts, and the voltage frequency is 50-100Khz.

When one electrode corresponds to a pair of functional layers, a voltage can be applied to the pair of electrodes to input current on the two pairs of functional layers. When one electrode corresponds to one functional layer, a voltage can be applied to a pair of electrodes to input current on the two functional layers. Specifically, when an electrode is connected to a functional layer, a voltage is applied between any two electrodes to form a loop on the left or right side of the flexible membrane. In the loop, the path of the current is the external power supply, the first electrode , a functional layer electrically connected to the first electrode, a flexible conductive film, the user's facial skin, a flexible conductive film, a functional layer electrically connected to the second electrode, and a second electrode, wherein, electrically connected to the first electrode The functional layer and the functional layer electrically connected to the second electrode are located on the same side of the flexible mask. When an electrode is connected to a pair of functional layers, when a voltage is applied between any two electrodes, two parallel loops are formed. In each loop, the current path is the external power supply, the first electrode, and the first electrode. A functional layer electrically connected to the first electrode, a flexible conductive film, the user's facial skin, a flexible conductive film, a functional layer electrically connected to the second electrode, and the second electrode.

The flexible mask is divided into left and right according to the position of the user's cheeks. Two functional layers in one circuit are located on the same side of the flexible mask.

Taking the mask type beauty instrument provided in the first embodiment as an example, when one electrode is connected to a pair of functional layers, the numbering diagram is shown in FIG. 7 . For a clearer description, the two functional layers 104 electrically connected to the same electrode 108 have the same number as the electrode 108 , and are divided into a left functional layer 104 and a right functional layer 104 according to the positions of the functional layers 104 . When the flexible mask 10 is electrically connected to an external power source and an electrical signal is applied, a voltage is applied between any two electrodes 108 . For example, when a voltage is applied between two electrodes numbered 1 and 2, two loops are formed simultaneously. In the first loop, the current path is the external power supply, the electrode 108 numbered 1, the left functional layer 104 numbered 1, the flexible conductive film, the user’s facial skin, the flexible conductive film, and the left functional layer numbered 2 , the electrode numbered 2. The second circuit, the current path is the external power supply, the electrode 108 numbered 1, the right functional layer 104 numbered 1, the flexible conductive film, the user’s facial skin, the flexible conductive film, the right functional layer numbered 2, Electrodes numbered 2. That is, the two functional layers 104 on the left and the two functional layers 104 on the right are arranged in parallel. Any two functional layers 104 on the same side are connected in series, and microcurrent flows in the facial skin of the user between the two functional layers 104 in series to achieve the effect of local skin stimulation. It can be understood that when one electrode 108 is connected to one functional layer 104 , a loop is only formed on the left or right side of the flexible mask 10 .

From the circuit formed above, it can be seen that the flexible conductive film 12 should have a certain resistance, so that the current in the circuit is transmitted to the user's skin along the thickness direction, rather than along the surface parallel to the flexible conductive film 12 .

Please refer to Fig. 7, in the present embodiment, cycle according to the order of electrode number 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4, 4 and 5, apply voltage between two electrodes 108, through two electrodes 108 to two pairs The functional layer 104 inputs electric current, and stimulates the skin with electric current circulation. In this embodiment, the energization time of each pair of electrodes 108 is 1 s, and the dwell time is 1 s, that is, the cycle is 0.2 s, energized for 0.1 s, and then stopped for 0.1 s, and so on. Wherein, within 0.1s of electrification, the voltage range of the electrode 108 can be adjusted between 20-36V, and the frequency is 90Khz.
