Abstract
Description
本発明の第1の態様のミスト発生装置は、液体を霧状にしてミストを発生させるミスト発生部と、前記ミスト発生部により発生されるミストを噴出するミストノズルと、ミストが噴出される場所に対して光を照射する光照射部と、前記光照射部による光の照射を制御する制御部を備え、前記制御部は、前記ミスト発生部によるミストの発生が開始した後に、前記光照射部を発光させる一方、前記ミスト発生部がミストの発生を終了した場合でも、前記光照射部を継続して発光させる。
以下、本発明を具体化した一実施の形態を図面に従って説明する。
図1に示すように、ミスト発生装置1の本体ケース2内には、水などの液体を供給するタンク3が設けられている。タンク3は、本体ケース2内の下部に形成された液体溜り部4と連結されており、当該液体溜り部4にタンク3内の液体を供給し、貯留するようになっている。液体溜り部4の側面には、液体溜り部4に貯留された液体を加熱して沸騰させるミスト発生部(第1ミスト発生部)及び加熱装置としてのヒータ5が設けられている。このヒータ5は、液体溜り部4内の液体を加熱し、沸騰させて水蒸気を発生させることができるようになっている。また、本体ケース2内には、ヒータ5を制御する制御部としての制御用CPU6が設けられている。当該制御用CPU6は、ヒータ5に印加する電圧値を変更することができるようになっている。
先ず、タンク3は、水などの液体を液体溜り部4に供給し、液体を貯留する。この状態で、制御用CPU6が、ヒータ5を作動させ、液体溜り部4内の液体を加熱させ、沸騰させる。これにより、水蒸気が発生する。この水蒸気は、ミスト流路7を通過する際にミストとなり、ミストノズル8から噴出される(時点A1)。これにより、施術部位(使用者の肌)に、ミストが噴出される。
第1実施形態は、以下の利点を有する。
次に、本発明を具体化した第2実施形態を説明する。なお、以下に説明する実施形態では、既に説明した第1実施形態と同様の構成は、同じ符号を付すなどして重複する詳細な説明及び図面は省略又は簡略する。
まず、タンク3は、水などの液体を液体溜り部4に供給し、液体を貯留する。この状態で、制御用CPU6が、ヒータ5を作動させ、液体溜り部4内の液体を加熱させ、沸騰させる。これにより、水蒸気が発生する。この水蒸気は、ミスト流路7を通過する際にミストとなり、ミストノズル8から使用者の肌に対して噴出される(時点B1)。そして、制御用CPU6は、ミストを発生させてから(ヒータ5に電圧を印可させてから)、所定時間(第2実施形態では3分)経過後、赤色LED10を点灯させ、使用者の肌に対して光を照射させる(時点B2)。
(4)制御用CPU6は、ミスト発生終了後、所定時間(第2実施形態では5分)かけて、赤色LED10の照射強度を徐々に低下させて消灯させる。このように、徐々に照射強度を低下させることにより、ミストを浴びることなく照射強度が強い光が照射され続けることによる皮膚の乾燥を防ぐことができると同時に、皮膚表面温度の急激な低下を防止することができる。
次に、本発明を具体化した第3実施形態を説明する。なお、以下に説明する実施形態では、既に説明した第1実施形態と同様の構成は、同じ符号を付すなどして重複する詳細な説明及び図面は省略又は簡略する。
先ず、タンク3は、水などの液体を第1液体溜り部4及び第2液体溜り部20に供給し、液体を貯留する。この状態で、制御用CPU6が、まず、ヒータ5を作動させ、第1液体溜り部4内の液体を加熱させ、沸騰させる。これにより、水蒸気が発生する。この水蒸気は、第1ミスト流路7を通過する際に、第2ミストノズルから噴出される冷ミストよりも温度の高い温ミストとなり、第1ミストノズル8から使用者の肌へ噴出される(時点C1)。
(5)ミスト発生装置21は、温ミストと、冷ミストを交互に肌に対して噴出させることができる。温ミストが噴出されることにより、使用者の肌は温刺激され、抹消の血管が拡張される一方、冷ミストが噴出されることにより、使用者の肌は冷刺激され、血管が収縮する。このような温刺激と、冷刺激が交互に繰り替えられることにより、血管が拡張と収縮を繰り返し、鍛錬される。すなわち、血管が拡張しにくく、血行が悪い人でも、血管が拡張しやすくなり、血液循環が良くなる。このため、肌のくま、くすみが改善される等、血行が悪いことによって引き起こされる様々な症状が温冷交互刺激による血行促進により改善される。また、温ミストが噴出されるとき、赤色LED10により光が同時に照射されるため、温刺激時と、冷刺激時の温度の差をより一層大きくすることができる。これにより、温冷交互刺激による血行促進の効果をより大きくすることができる。
次に、本発明を具体化した第4実施形態を説明する。なお、以下に説明する実施形態では、既に説明した第1実施形態と同様の構成は、同じ符号を付すなどして重複する詳細な説明及び図面は省略又は簡略する。
先ず、タンク3は、水などの液体を液体溜り部4に供給し、液体を貯留する。この状態で、制御用CPU6が、ヒータ5を作動させ、液体溜り部4内の液体を加熱させ、沸騰させる。これにより、水蒸気が発生する。この水蒸気は、ミスト流路7及び供給ホース30を通過する際に、ミストとなり、ミストノズル8から使用者の肌へ噴出される(時点D1)。
(6)赤色LED32及びミストノズル8を使用者の肌に接触させて使用されるヘッド部31に設けた。このため、使用者の肌に対してミストの噴出及び光の照射を同時に行うことができる。また、制御用CPU6は、皮膚表面温度に基づいて、使用者の肌に対して間欠して繰り返しミストを噴出させるため、肌が熱くなりすぎることを防止することができる。
上記実施形態において、冷却ファン11を設けたが、設けなくても良い。
冷却ファン11を上記第4実施形態に適用してもよい。例えば、ヘッド部31に冷却ファン11を設け、上記第1実施形態と同様に、1つの冷却ファン11により、LED32の冷却とLED32の放熱の送風とを行ってもよい。
上記第1実施形態~第3実施形態において、制御用CPU6は、ミストを発生させてから、3分経過後、赤色LED10を点灯させたが、ミスト発生開始から0~5分の範囲内ならば、赤色LED10の点灯開始時を任意に変更しても良い。例えば、制御用CPU6は、ミストを発生させてから、1分経過後、赤色LED10を点灯させてもよく、5分経過後、赤色LED10を点灯させてもよい。
上記第3実施形態では、冷ミストをベンチュリー方式にて発生させていたが、超音波方式で発生させても良い。
