Description

Cosmetic steamer with continuous steam release

The present invention relates to a cosmetic steamer, and more particularly, to a cosmetic steamer which continuously releases steam containing cosmetic agents such as softeners, reducing agents, cleaning agents, nutrients, etc. together with far infrared rays, anions and silver nanos for skin beauty.

In order to make hair and skin elastic by supplying moisture and nutrients to the skin when moisturizing the hair or performing skin massage when perming the hair, a beauty salon steamer is used in a beauty salon. In particular, the skin care steamer is used to fix the perment during permanent treatment, to perform a moisture-supplementary dry procedure to replace dry heat caused by hair damage, to fix dyes, or to infiltrate the scalp into the scalp. Can be used.

Typically, cosmetic steam is known to have a particle size of about 3 μm and a temperature of 62 ° C. In order to generate steam with the above conditions, the skin care steamer is provided with an ultrasonic vibrator or a heater for ultrasonically vibrating or heating water filled in the tank and atomizing it with steam. In most cases, the vaporized water particles are heated by a heater before discharge so that steam at 62 ° C. is finally injected. However, these skin care steamers have evaporated water particles vaporized by the vibrator while passing through the hot surface of the heater mounted at the outlet, causing a loss of steam. In order to solve the above problems, the number of vibrators was installed in a large amount to compensate for the amount of steam lost, but there was another problem of increasing the power consumption consumed for operating the vibrator.

In order to reduce the number of oscillators and the loss of steam, Korean Laid-Open Utility Model Publication No. 1999-012237 discloses an ion steamer equipped with a water level regulator that can control the amount of water filled in a water tank from a water tank. Electrode) is installed inside the water tank, which can be contaminated by minerals contained in the water, causing malfunctions, or to stop steam discharge while the water is filled from the water tank, and the pressure of the water tank is not constant. There was a problem that blisters are ejected when steam is released.

In addition, when cosmetic agents such as emollients, reducing agents, cleaners, and nutrients that are treated to the hair and skin are released into the water tank and released into steam, the cosmetic effect can be maximized, but contamination of the water level regulator sensor mounted inside the water tank may occur. Therefore, after treating cosmetics directly to hair and skin, steam is generally infiltrated by applying steam. Korean Registered Room No. 20-0375362 discloses a facial steamer that can effectively manage facial skin using far-infrared rays, anions and steam emitted by incorporating or coating a multi-element mineral powder in a low water container. It did not solve the fundamental problem.

On the other hand, Republic of Korea Registered Room No. 20-0343314 discloses a ringer liquid detector to detect the presence or absence of liquid in the ringer container as the capacitance of the atmosphere by using a capacitive sensor as a sensing means, Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0025849 Although a water level detection device for a bidet hot water tank using a capacitive sensor has been disclosed, there is no example of the use of the capacitive sensor for controlling the level of the beauty steamer.

Accordingly, the present inventors have made diligent efforts to solve the above problems. As a result, when the water level control device with the capacitance sensor is installed outside the boiler tank, the capacitive sensor does not have to be contaminated. Not only can be used together, but also detects the amount of evaporated water in the boiler tank in small units and supplies the amount of water evaporated to keep the pressure in the boiler tank at a high pressure, thereby preventing the formation of nanoparticles. It was confirmed that the steam can be ejected constantly, the present invention was completed.
